Shi Xing knows all this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Mr. Li, the Ministry of War called Xiao Ping to ask questions today, and the Ministry of War did not call you over, why didn't you come uninvited? And also made a lot of noise in front of the yamen of the military department? ”

Shi Xing spoke first.

"Ministry, I, Li Rusong, went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen to kill the enemy, and to this day, thirty years, thirty years of galloping on the battlefield, not to mention a hundred victories, but also more victories and fewer defeats, which of the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes does not know my Li Rusong's name? I have been fighting for the country for 30 years, and I have worked hard without merit, right? This time, the Japanese invaded Korea, and it was on the edge of Liaodong! Even if it is to protect the homeland, the Liaodong soldiers should be allowed to fight as the main force.

Sending troops nearby can also save food and grass and military salaries, not to mention that the Japanese invaders killed my generals and soldiers, and I have a great enmity with my Liaodong Army. So I came here and wanted to ask the ministry for an explanation, where did this Chief Xiao come from! actually said that my Liaodong soldiers are unusable! If there is no explanation today, I Li Rusong will definitely not accept it!! ”

Li Rusong went straight to the point, and when he came up, he showed his sword, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at Xiao Ruxun.

Several officials turned their eyes to Xiao Ruxun, and saw that Xiao Ruxun's face was as usual, his eyes and nose were concerned, and he had no intention of speaking.

Shi Xing opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Pingyu's military merits are knighted, he is the first military general under the order of Jiajing, and his invitation to war is the first to be handed over, the military department first noticed that Xiao Pingyu also came according to the rules, Li Zongbing wanted to ask for war, naturally he also wrote an excerpt and handed it over, this kind of thing is reasonable, Li Zongbing rashly broke into the military department is not something that should be done." ”

Shi Xing must first agree that Xiao Ruxun is not wrong in this matter, and Li Rusong is at fault.

This Li Rusong doesn't care at all.

"This is not good for me Li Rusong, I admit it, what the ministry said is true, but what I can't accept is that the court abandons me and wants to use this yellow-mouthed boy to be the main general of tens of thousands of people! Does he have the qualifications?! ”

Li Rusong stared at Xiao Ruxun viciously, like a Tibetan mastiff with cracked teeth barking fiercely.

Shi Xing didn't speak, his eyes turned to Xiao Ruxun.

"Before that, Mr. Li, I want you to figure out one thing." Xiao Ruxun didn't look at Li Rusong, and slowly spoke: "You are the chief soldier of Shanxi, I am the chief soldier of Ningxia, in terms of position, you and I are the same, there is no distinction between high and low, on the title, I am a Pingyubo, a knight for military merits, the name is justified, it is reasonable for the court to use me, since Li Zongbing thinks he is qualified, then why can't he be in the middle?" ”

"Xiao Ruxun, after winning a battle, I don't know the southeast and northwest? When Lao Tzu went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, you were not born yet! ”

Li Rusong is full of sharpness.

"It turns out that Mr. Li still remembers that he is twenty-one years younger than Mr. Li." Xiao Ruxun smiled and turned his gaze to the sharp Li Rusong.

"Then may I ask, at the age of twenty-two, under the trust of the governor, he was given the right to command the front, took the fortified city of Ningxia with an army of 50,000, broke tens of thousands of rebels and thousands of captives, personally cut off the head of the rebel thief, and made great contributions, so that he got the favor of the imperial court, and died as the chief soldier of Ningxia, Ping Yubo, when the general soldier Li was twenty-two years old, did he have the record of attacking the city and pulling out the village for military merits?"

"You're ......!"

This talked about Li Rusong's sore feet.

And Xiao Ruxun hasn't finished speaking.

"Li Zongbing is the sharp edge of the elite iron cavalry in Liaodong, the grassland is in the front, and the land of North Korea, eighty percent of the country's land is mountains and rivers, and there are very few places for the cavalry to gallop, and there are cities and farmlands in every place, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and it is simply inconvenient for the cavalry to deploy nearby, and the defeat of Zu Chengxun lies in this.

Even if the Japanese are defeated in the wild, these cities must be recaptured one by one, and the cavalry can break the Mongols on the steppe, can they also break the city? The siege relied on infantry and ordnance, not cavalry, and the tactics that General Li was best at were not applicable at all! There will be a lot of damage!

The Liaodong cavalry needed to deter the Mongols, and they needed to deter the Jiannu and Haixi Jurchens, if there was a big damage and they were unable to deter the Mongol Jurchens, wouldn't the land of Liaodong be dangerous? In the battle of Pyongyang, 1,000 cavalry had been killed, didn't General Li know the disadvantages of cavalry siege? And how many elite cavalry are there in Liaodong? How long does it take to train a cavalryman? How much does it cost? These are all precious soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they can't be lost too much on the battlefield unnecessarily! ”

Xiao Ruxun pointed to the map of North Korea and said his "original intention", but it surprised the officials of the Ministry of War, and Li Rusong was also stunned.

What they heard was that Xiao Ruxun despised the Liaodong soldiers and thought that the Liaodong soldiers could not defeat the Japanese, but Xiao Ruxun said that he did this because he thought that the Liaodong soldiers could not lose too much, and the Ming Dynasty needed the Liaodong cavalry to deter the Jurchens and Mongolians.

Is that so?

Li Rusong's head was a little dizzy, he frowned and pointed at Xiao Ruxun, and asked uncertainly, "What did you say?" Are you afraid that the Liaodong soldiers will lose too much? ”

"Of course!" Xiao Ruxun's face was sincere: "It takes a month to train a gunner, half a year to train a sword, shield and pikemen, and a year to train a crossbowman, but it takes at least three years to train a cavalry to become a big city, and the money and food consumed are countless."

The training cost of one cavalry is enough to train five bird-gunners, and a bird-gunner only needs one month to skillfully operate the battle, and a cavalryman cannot be considered combat effectiveness without three years of work! In the battle of Pyongyang, the Liaodong soldiers lost 1,000 soldiers, which is equivalent to the loss of 5,000 bird guns, but give me another month, and I can pull up another 5,000 bird guns, but what about the cavalry?

There are people, there are horses, how much time does it take to get back to that kind of combat effectiveness? Three years of training, several years of conquest, only a hundred battles of elite iron cavalry, in order to deter the Mongolian Jurchens, Liaodong cavalry is the strongest cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, if the loss is too much, what will be the consequences?

Li Zongbing, I ask you to think carefully, North Korea is important, although the protection of North Korea is really to protect China, but our war is actually for North Korea, we are to recover the land for North Korea, not the Ming Dynasty's own land, although this battle must be fought, but not to the point of pulling the most precious cavalry corps of the Ming Dynasty to fight hard!

The Liaodong cavalry is too precious, the horses are precious, the people are even more expensive, and every cavalry is a treasure from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside! Losing one, I feel distressed for a long time! General Li Zongbing, the Liaodong cavalry are all children of Liaodong, and you brought them out single-handedly, don't you feel distressed? Aren't you sad? If the cavalry losses exceed three thousand, will the Liaodong cavalry be able to recover without five years of kung fu? Can you?

A battle that didn't require so many cavalry losses, but had to fight for the lives of the cavalry, why let the cavalry sacrifice what the infantry could do? Is Daming rich? Is Liaodong rich? Are Daming's horses cheap? Li Zongbing, you can count your fingers yourself, whether Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty is important or North Korea is important!

General Li Bing, if you are willing to take such a precious Liaodong cavalry to make a senseless sacrifice, sacrifice the Ming Dynasty's suppression of Mongolia and Jurchen, and let Mongolia and Jurchen threaten Ming Liaodong in turn, then I have nothing to say, I will give up the position of the main general, Li Zongbing can take Liaodong's soldiers to North Korea, I have nothing to say! Mr. Li, you and I have no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future, if Xun said this out of a public heart, it all depends on how Mr. Li decides! ”
