Section 604 People are more popular than dead people

The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

He was confident in saying this, and he took a whole brigade of baggage soldiers and engineers, with 2,500 men and 500 cavalry to protect him, and his strength was not weak.

From the beginning of the establishment of the Dingnan Army, Qin Haoming paid the most attention to logistics support.

The soldiers used are all eliminated by the guards or retired from the army, and they are fully militarized and equipped with grenades on weekdays, and have a certain combat effectiveness.

It is not so simple for him to be responsible for the work of the front station, and the cooperation with Jiliao is only a part, and it is more than what he said, to ensure the safety of roads and bridges.

These are the most basic things to ensure transportation capacity, and Qin Haoming has always attached great importance to them.

Zu Dashou and Cao Bianjiao were full of consternation, as the general of the army, the person in charge of the army in front of them was not afraid of them at all.

Moreover, what he said was never in their consideration, as if it was awesome.

Because these things have always been presided over by civilian officials, and in terms of the efficiency of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, the time to build a small military fort and several sections of roads is calculated in months or years.

The work efficiency of the officials under Hong Chengchou's rule is already very high, but it is still far from the black-faced young man in front of him.

After the others left, Hong Chengchou said thoughtfully: "This is a talent, if I have such a soldier under my command, the matter of fighting will be much easier." ”

Zu Dashou shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not to grab a job with Wenchen, impeachment can drown us." ”

Cao Bianjiao snorted coldly and said: "Look at that kid's smug appearance, it's useless to just say it with his mouth, you have to look at your real ability." ”

Zu Dashou nodded yes, but still said: "Let's send more cavalry out and drive away the Jianyu rangers, so as not to make this big black man look flat." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded in agreement.

A few people casually took a turn and took the opportunity to inspect the work.

The whole Xingshan Station is full of decay, there are no people, only a small number of garrisons and a few military forts that have just been repaired.

From here to Jinzhou, the area has become a ghost area, the village is ruined, the military fort is demolished, and the city is only left with the city foundation, which is burned into a white ground.

There are wild beasts moving everywhere, even wolves are much better, there are bears and blind people, tigers, not to mention that ordinary people dare not operate in those no-man's land at will, even the army must be cautious.

For more than a year, Zu Dashou and other Ningyuan garrisons have been sending elite cavalry and Jurchen sentinel cavalry to fight, and both sides have suffered casualties.

However, the Ningyuan garrison rarely slashed, mainly in contact battles, and the Ming army did not dare to go too deep, nor did they dare to fight with the Jurchens, they all fought and ran.

Now although the Dingnan Army asked the garrison to send more elite cavalry to guard, it came directly without a large force of cavalry first, which made Hong Chengchou even more surprised.

He couldn't help but say: "I don't know if it's because the artist is bold or too reckless!" ”

Two days later, Hong Chengchou personally brought 3,000 elite soldiers and grain and grass from Shanhaiguan to Lianshan Station.

Jiliao is an important border town, and it is extremely convenient for the army to travel.

Lianshanyi is less than thirty miles away from the Ningyuan Acropolis, more than 3,000 people go out together, it looks like it is also mighty, the team pulls out five or six miles long, and the flag is fluttering.

Hong Chengchou's supervisor and guard were in the middle, and there were already many people from the Acropolis to Lianshanyi who were reclaiming wasteland, and they knelt on the side of the road and did not dare to raise their heads.

Occasionally, some people will raise their heads and look at the superintendent guard with reverence, and they know that under the banner is the famous Hong Chengchou.

For many people, being with the Tartars is a national enemy and a family hatred, but in the Ming Dynasty, they are also bullied and oppressed, and it is not pleasant to be in a foreign country and be looked down upon.

As long as there are people to shelter them and land to have, these people would rather survive by their own hands than wander around and end up without a fixed place.

In the eyes of these Liao people, the tall old man in the middle of the team, wearing a big red official robe, with a half-white head and a gray beard, is the person they respect the most.

Hong Chengchou's guards looked at the people in the fields and the passing merchants with vigilant eyes, and the outpost had already driven the passers-by far away.

The people in the fields were also reprimanded and were not allowed to raise their heads, and people were also apprehensive about the strength of Jianyu's meticulous work, in case Hong Chengchou was ambushed by Jianyu Xizuo on the way......

Hong Chengchou himself didn't pay attention to this, he was going to Juehua Island, meet with Dengzhou Weihai Division, and then land on the Liaodong Peninsula, and even the mountain post was just passing by.

Cao Bianjiao and Zu Dashou are the two fierce generals of Jiliao, one stays behind, and the other goes out with him.

It was the beginning of the year when they came out of Ningyuan, and most of the old official roads along the way had been repaired, and the roads could accommodate four horsemen riding together, but the cavalry did not do so.

There are about more than 300 horsemen far ahead, this is a beam horse, in case of sudden changes, and a small number of sentinel horses are running farther, it is estimated that they have run to the surrounding fields of Lianshan Station.

It took exactly one hour to arrive at Lianshan Station, that is, at the beginning of noon, and it was exactly eleven o'clock when calculated with the more and more popular clocks and clocks of the Ming Dynasty.

The officers and men of the Dingnan Army, who were in charge of contacting the naval army, were called to Shanglianshanyi, and the cavalry continued to move forward.

For the sake of safety, Cao Bianjiao led several hundred families forward, and at the same time intensified the sentry cavalry's reconnaissance fan.

Originally, Cao Bianjiao and Zu Dashou suggested that it would be more appropriate for Hong Chengchou to stay in Jiliao to preside over the overall situation, but for some reason, Governor Hong just didn't agree.

In the evening, under a cloud of fire, people watched as the Dingnan Army's combat engineers repaired the second small bridge.

An unknown river flows through it, waist-high and headless at its deepest point.

But for the army and the large convoy, the broken bridge was enough to interfere with the movement, and a group of blue-robed soldiers stood in the water and on the bridge, reinforcing the wooden bridge.

And replace the damaged bridge plate, and then replace it with a new wooden plank, this wooden bridge was originally able to pass two cars in parallel, at this time after reinforcement and repair, it can actually accommodate a four-car easy to pass.

Hong Chengchou rode on his horse and watched, his face was first surprised, then a little embarrassed, and then fell into an obvious state.

Looking down, it was obvious that there was a group of gray-robed soldiers who had built a pontoon bridge downstream, Cao Bianjiao sent someone over to inquire, and the answer was that only one bridge within ten miles was too unsafe.

A pontoon bridge was built not only downstream, but also upstream.

That is to say, if there is an emergency, the convoy of the Dingnan Army can spread its feet and run violently.

You don't have to worry about getting to the river without a bridge, and you don't have to worry about being caught up by the enemy and having nowhere to hide. You don't have to worry about running out of supplies and repair points, and there are places to rest and eat hot food.

"Hey......" A Jiliao general shook his head and said loudly: "Before the war, I don't think about how to win, but think about how to run?" What the hell is this army, no wonder it can only be a soldier. ”

The Dingnan Army is well-trained and orderly, as well as organized, fast and efficient, all of which are seen by everyone.

A large number of horses and war horses, a firearm and a waist knife for each person, those delicate little ornaments, beautiful and expensive robes, hats and leather boots.

The people of the Dingnan Army knew at a glance that it was piled up with silver, and it was still his mother's baggage troops.

In the Jiliao army, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, they are all called auxiliaries, which are the lowest types of troops.

But compared to them, the dignified regular army is called Hanako, how can this be embarrassing? How can the mindset be balanced?
