500 Li Chengliang who regrets (II)
What is the discarding of armaments?
In terms of weapons and equipment, spears and sabers have not been used for a long time, let alone maintained, the iron is rusty, the wooden handle is rotten and completely unusable, the bow and crossbow are almost completely obsolete, the bowstring has lost its elasticity and cannot be used but is not replaced in time, and the wooden longbow is rotten and not renewed.
The rusty rotten rot of the firearms, some of them looked so good that they exploded as soon as they were shot, and even more so the artillery, which looked brand new and usable, and if you looked closely, you couldn't bear to look at it!
The chariot troops, which were once carried forward in the Qi Jiguang era, were completely rotten because the wooden parts of those chariots had not been used for a long time.
The soldiers are not trained, the old soldiers, the soldiers are oiled, and the market slippery heads with oil on the soles of their feet are flooded in the Beijing camp in large numbers, and the real combat effectiveness is probably only the guards around the generals from all walks of life, and I don't know if there are 10,000 people in total.
Who are the generals from all walks of life?
Those are the descendants of the nobles and hereditary generals who were deprived of the right to the military after the Tumubao Incident, one by one, they are smooth and smooth-tongued, and they are more proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun than anyone else.
Why not straighten out?
Unspoken rules, you civilian officials have deprived the military generals of their military powers, don't you give something to compensate?
The Beijing camp is a compensatory thing, to compensate those noble sons and hereditary officers for empty salaries, this family eats a little, that family eats a little, everyone eats a share, of course, these are not enough, it is also necessary to do business and open shops everywhere.
Therefore, it is not only the civil officials who resist commercial taxation, but also all kinds of nobles and tycoons, although these people have no actual power, but they have a deep background and intertwined power.
The existence of the nine sides has weakened the appearance of corruption in the Beijing camp, but once a certain part of the nine sides is broken through, when the northern soldiers are directly aimed at the Beijing division, when the Beijing camp needs to play a protective role, the problem of the Beijing camp becomes a problem that must be solved, there is no way, what else can be done?
Hurry up and recruit a group of new soldiers, give you a random weapon, and then pretend to practice it and send them to death on the battlefield!
The degree of corruption in the Ming Jing camp has exceeded the corruption level of the Song Forbidden Army, although the Song Forbidden Army is corrupt, although it does not dare to fight, although it will collapse at the touch of a button, but the number of people is at least hundreds of thousands, and it can still pretend to be and give people a sense of security, but the Ming Jing Camp is not even a person.
No one knows to what extent Jingying has been paid empty, and I'm afraid that none of the other families know about the situation of other families.
Li Chengliang belongs to Xungui, although he is a new Xungui and failed to participate in the distribution of spoils in the Beijing camp, but he knows the actual situation of the Beijing camp, so no one present knows better than him what the fate of bringing these old soldiers to the battlefield will be, but the fatal thing is that he can't say it.
He can't say!
Although he was close to the civil servants, and those nobles couldn't pee in the same pot, he couldn't say it, because while the nobles took benefits, many civil officials, from bigwigs to small shrimps, also took the benefits of empty salaries.
It is no exaggeration to say that half of the people in the court have received dividends from empty salaries, if he dares to speak out, dare to cut off people's financial routes, and dare to let the emperor know the truth, not to mention him Li Chengliang, even Xu Da's resurrection can tear those people alive.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, not sharing the hatred of the sky, that's really not about fun, you can scold others, and the whole family can bear to scold others, but if you take away people's wealth, people will immediately fight with you, and this kind of thing is not a very rare thing.
Li Chengliang is fierce, but he dares to fight against half of the court? Zhang Juzheng is so fierce that he doesn't dare to attack Xungui, looking at the situation in Jingying, he can only stare dryly, and can only come little by little, not to mention him Li Chengliang?
But this dilemma arises, the emperor wants him to take the Beijing camp to fight, but the result of the battle in the Beijing camp is definitely not a good result, even if Li Chengliang has the ability to reach the sky, but he will never be able to bring the soldiers into brave and good soldiers in a short period of time.
Not to mention Li Chengliang, Qi Jiguang is such a person who can train soldiers, when he faced the gang of soldiers in the Southeast Guardhouse, after he trained with confidence, he took the lead to the battlefield with high spirits, and personally took the lead in the charge, and shot a Japanese chief first.
As a result, he rushed to find out that something was wrong, and when he turned around, the old soldiers "charged" in the opposite direction to him, and he was almost killed.
In the end, I had no choice but to go to Yiwu to recruit new soldiers, trained the Qi army, and later wrote the military book and never forgot to warn future generations, saying that the people in the market are tricky and slippery people can not recruit into the army.
The iron pestle can be sharpened into a needle, and the wooden stick can only be ground into a toothpick, and the material is not right, and the craftsman's hand is useless.
But Li Chengliang can't say that he is suffering now, he quietly glanced at the rest of the bigwigs, and several bigwigs looked at Li Chengliang with very strange eyes, which means that he couldn't understand it better.
If you say a word, we all have the risk of falling to the ground, you let everyone fall to the ground, everyone will make you die before the head hits, this is not a joke, pay attention, this is not a joke.
The seventy-year-old veteran's heart trembled, weighed his own weight, tried his own catties, and felt that he was still stubbornly pitted to death, at least he could keep the status of his son and his family, that would be enough, if God blessed, let himself end this war without encountering the Mongols, it would be the best.
Take 10,000 steps back and say that it would be good to let Li Rusong lead his troops over before encountering the Mongols, so don't pray.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this arrangement is appropriate, but most of the soldiers and horses in each town and the Beijing camp are foot soldiers, and when facing the Mongolian cavalry, the battle to defend the pass can still be handled, but it is difficult to go out of the city to pursue the enemy army, so it is necessary to let Li Rusong's cavalry speed up and quickly enter the battle to confront the Mongols."
Li Chengliang can only dance with shackles, within the scope of what he can do, and strive for his own glimmer of life to the greatest extent.
He is also repentant now, his intestines are green, he has long known that if something happens, it must be related to Jingying, and if he knows the big pit in Jingying, he will not take a step out of the house even if he pretends to be sick, and now it is okay, it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only go hard, and if he doesn't get it right, this old life will be explained to this group of old soldiers.
Pity me Li Chengliang as a hero for half his life, but when he is old, he has to die at the hands of these old soldiers, is this really God's retribution? Retribution: Have I killed too much?
Zhu Yijun couldn't hear Li Chengliang's heart, nor could he see the sadness hidden in the depths of Li Chengliang's eyes.
He felt that with the dispatch of the Beijing army, the cooperation of a veteran like Li Chengliang and a general who dared to fight in his prime like Chai Guozhu, even if he could not defeat the Mongols, he could at least hold the Bauhinia Pass and protect the capital under the premise of the fall of Pingxingguan.
Probably, okay?
