Seventy-six Details hidden in history

Coming out of the Jingluo Mansion, Xiao Ruxun went to the office of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, got acquainted with some officials, and after handing over some work, he began to inspect the entire Liaoyang to see how many materials had arrived, whether they were qualified, how long they were enough, and so on, these are all crucial things.

You must know that the supply consumption of 40,000 Ming troops is an extremely terrible number, a Ming soldier has to consume one liter of grain in five a day, a war horse has to consume three liters of bean material, Ningxia soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, Shandong soldiers, Xuanda soldiers, the total strength of the Ming army is more than 48,000 people, it is estimated that at least 7,000 war horses, a total of about 720 stone of grain and 200 stone of beans will be consumed a day, if you want to support two months of fighting, you will need 43,200 stone of grain, and more than 12,000 stone of horse beans.

I don't know how much grain and horse beans the Koreans have in stock, but now they must have tried their best to support the consumption of the Ming army for three months.

Therefore, Song Yingchang ordered the Ming army to assemble in his own country, not to go to North Korea to consume their few grain stocks, which is reasonable, but there are some things that need to be done first, he will personally arrive in Uiju, North Korea, face to face with the Korean military ministers to discuss these issues, and then bring all the military rations of the Ming army to North Korea, first of all, start to arrange the storage of military food, one step ahead of the North Koreans to start moving, before the Ming army is assembled, to solve the problem of food.

The so-called three armies did not move the grain and grass first, and if the grain and grass could not keep up, it would be fatal.

Seven days later, Xiao Ruxun had almost sorted out the entire context of Liaoyang, and after issuing the order to transport all the ordnance and materials to Zhenjiang Fort, he returned the Great Seal of Jingluo, bid farewell to Song Yingchang, and went to Yizhou, North Korea first.

He had already felt the unfriendliness of a group of civil officials and generals from Liaodong to him, as well as the obstacles he encountered when he went to check the 200,000 taels of military expenses allocated by the emperor in advance in the silver treasury, if it were not for the help of Hao Jie, the governor of Liaodong, he really couldn't enter this silver vault, and after entering, he found that there were only 150,000 taels of silver left, and then asked the reason, 50,000 taels of silver were taken to appease the Liaodong army.

In this regard, Hao Jie, who supported Xiao Ruxun, was also a little helpless, he explained that the Liaodong Army was born in a bitter cold place, and once he joined the army, he knew that his life was short, so he pursued extreme enjoyment, extremely brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and was quite lawless and harmful to the people outside the battlefield.

The imperial court has suffered from its military discipline for a long time, but it has pity on its bravery, and if it is used, the 200,000 taels of military expenses will definitely fall into the hands of the Liaodong Army, but after Xiao Ruxun's strategic plan was recognized, the main force of the war became the provincial coalition army, not the Liaodong Army.

This made many generals of the Liaodong Army extremely dissatisfied with Xiao Ruxun, plus Li Chengliang's father and son failed to compete with Xiao Ruxun, Li Rusong arrived before Xiao Ruxun arrived in Liaoyang, and many generals of the Liaodong Army ventilated, embarrassed Xiao Ruxun together, and took away 80,000 taels of silver first.

This kind of thing is very common in the Ming Dynasty, and it is even more common in Liaodong, even if the lawsuit goes to the emperor and there is no result, Hao Jie, the famous demoman of the Liaodong Army, suggested that Xiao Ruxun swallow his anger for the time being, and wait for the victory in this battle, with the power of the two victories, as well as the military hearts of the provinces, and then clean up the Liaodong Army.

Xiao Ruxun nodded, took the 120,000 taels of silver, remembered the account, and set off for Uiju, North Korea with thirty guards.

On the way through Yizhou, Xiao Ruxun arrived at Zhenjiang Fort, according to Song Yingchang's previous military order, at this moment in Liaodong provincial troops should arrive at Zhenjiang Fort to prepare for war, Xiao Ruxun to go to review the army first, now stationed in Zhenjiang Fort This group of troops should be the deputy chief Wu Weizhong and the general Luo Shangzhi led by the three thousand Zhejiang soldiers, there were originally more than 2,000 Liaodong cavalry here, but the imperial court order, Liaodong cavalry returned to the original garrison and evacuated.

The armies of the provinces are on their way, the nearest is the Shandong soldiers, who will arrive in about 15 days, the Xuanda crossbowmen will arrive in 20 days, and the farther Zhejiang birds, sword and shield soldiers, and the Ningxia firearms battalion, although they are on the road early, still have more than half a month to go.

It will take at least a month for the Ming army to prepare for war, which has exceeded the fifty-day date agreed with the Japanese, so this time, Xiao Ruxun also brought the protagonist of the first big scam in East Asia in three hundred years in the future.

"Shen Weijing, it would have taken a lot of effort to bail you out of prison this time, what to do this time, you should know very well, right?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at Shen Weijing, who was sitting in the horse-drawn cart and was uneasy, and spoke.

Shen Weijing hurriedly replied: "Will ...... What the general said, the little old man knows, the little old man knows, the little old man will use a three-inch incorruptible tongue to make the little west governor not know the southeast, the northwest! ”

"And that's not all! When I arrive at Zhenjiang Fort, you will cross the river and go to Pyongyang, not only to let the Japanese continue to wait lazily, but also to find out to the general the number and distribution of Japanese troops in Pyongyang at this moment, and the North Koreans' intelligence will not be believed, and the intelligence of their own country has not yet been gathered in the hands of the general.

I heard that before Liaodong General Tong Yangzheng sent his nephew to observe in the North Korean army, now that his nephew is dead, we have no eyes, and now, I will ask you to do these eyes, before the war in Pyongyang, I will know all the news about Governor Konishi! ”

Xiao Ruxun said meaningfully: "You know, Shibutang they just take you as an outcast, when you need to hold you, you can naturally get rid of it when you don't use it, that is Wenchen's consistent style, and Ben will be different, Ben will be a military general, don't ask about the process, just look at the results, and merit will be rewarded, Ben will give you enough silver to support your old age, and you will change your name and surname and send you back to your hometown, how about it?" ”

Shen Weijing hurriedly knelt on the cart and kowtowed: "Little old man, thank you general!" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Ruxun nodded, then remembered a very important matter, so he spoke: "There is still something that I care about very much, and I need you to do it." ”

"Little old man, listen, general, please speak."

Shen Weijing grasped this life-saving straw.

Zu Chengxun said that when he led his troops to Pyongyang, the five battalions of Korean guides ran away from the four battalions, and after entering the city, the vanguard was killed by the Japanese soldiers hiding in various houses, and the army entered the city to fight, and it seemed that the Japanese who had been prepared for a long time to break through.

More importantly, he said that when he withdrew from Pyongyang, the North Korean general Li Xu, who was acting with his army, actually talked a few words with the Japanese generals who were pursuing, and the Japanese army retreated slightly, and then the Japanese army pursued again, and then Li Xue led his troops to kill dozens of Japanese invaders, and finally followed to escort Zu Chengxun to retreat. ”

Shen Weijing is so shrewd, at this moment, in order to save his life, he even raised his IQ to the peak state, and suddenly grasped the main point: "What does the general mean is that there are traitors among the Koreans?" Betrayed the plan of action of my army? ”
