499 Regretful Li Chengliang (I)
By the time Li Chengliang rushed to the palace with a hum, the three auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, the secretary of the household department, the military department, and the emperor had been waiting for a long time.
Although Li Chengliang is a military general, his status is not high, but Li Chengliang is now seventy years old, and he is considered a veteran general, no matter what, in China, you occupy a "old" word, and you have to give three points younger than you, regardless of civil and military generals, and the respect for the elderly advocated by Confucianism is not for fun.
Except for Zhao Zhigao, no one present is older than Li Chengliang, so Li Chengliang can barely say that he is old and slower, so that everyone should not blame, to be honest, no one can blame him, although Zhu Yijun is indeed anxious, but the veteran is seventy, and he can't say the words of reprimanding anyway.
"Li Qing is old, and he can still contribute to the country, I am very moved, come on, sit down! also give Zhao Ge old a seat. ”
Zhu Yijun reluctantly gave him a seat for Zhao Zhigao's seventy-two, and the rest of the people stood honestly! If you are not happy, you dare to stand?
Shen Li and Shen Cheng looked at each other, and could only shake their heads and smile bitterly.
Zhao Zhigao and Li Chengliang thanked him together, and then put half of his butt on Jindun'er, and he didn't dare to really sit down, this is a basic skill of people in the officialdom, as long as you are still an official, you must remember that in the face of the gift of the superior, you don't dare to sit on it completely, that is not interesting.
It's better to sit than to stand.
"Everyone has arrived, I won't say anything else, the opinion of Zhao Ge Lao is that Wang Shiyang, the governor of Xuanda, is in charge of the military affairs of the four towns of Datong, Taiyuan, Yulin and Xuanfu, and is responsible for the defense of the war, and strives to ensure that the Yanmen Pass and the peaceful pass are not lost, and the war is controlled in Datong Town.
The imperial court took Li Qing as the main general, with Chai Guozhu as the deputy general, and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion were stationed in Zijing Pass, and Wang Shiyang was mainly responsible for ensuring Zijing Pass, and the camera supported the war in Shanxi. ”
What else can you think?
These people can only look at those candidates from the perspective of party struggle, and consider the benefits to their faction after winning the battle, or the harm to their faction after losing the battle......
Has Cheng Zhu ever taught?
In military affairs, only Shi Xing and Li Chengliang are the second knife of the halfway monk, and it is okay to engage in logistics, and the business level is not bad, but the strategy and tactics are also forgotten!
They felt that the less land they occupied, the less military spending they needed, and it didn't matter what they wanted to fight back, so they ensured that the land they had now was enough, and they took the ancient soldiers as fools.
This kind of thing, Li Chengliang is a veteran, Zhu Yijun is asking the ministers on the surface, but in fact he is just asking Li Chengliang.
Although Li Chengliang didn't dare to show a frightened look, he already felt extremely regretful in his heart that he came to participate in this war in a hurry without thinking clearly, and his bowels were blue.
My majesty, do you think I've lived too long and want me to die soon?
Your Majesty, you may not know, but among you here, who doesn't know......
Can those waste soldiers in Beijing really work?
It's okay to bully and bully the flat-headed common people, and it's okay to do chores and run errands for officers, but you want them to go to the battlefield to play with their lives......
This side announced that their father and mother would die in their family over there, and this side began to set off, and that side began to desert and escape, Li Chengliang did not have clairvoyance and ears, and he couldn't manage so much, and the 100,000 army didn't know if there were 50,000 soldiers to fight in the past.
No, do you still have 100,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp to use?
Because the border army has been dealing with the Mongols for a long time, it still has some combat effectiveness and some organization, but the Beijing camp is ......
Can Jingying be used?
Li Chengliang profoundly understood the necessity of a well-trained army.
The reason why he was able to make contributions in Liaodong was not because of the guards or the Beijing camp, but because of the Li family army that he trained himself, that is, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, with a total number of more than 10,000 people, but the core part, that is, the one with the strongest combat effectiveness, only about 3,000 people, all of whom were Li family members and Li Chengliang's private army.
This army is well-trained, strong, strong, prohibited, and fought bravely one after another when fighting, and it was the most daring and fierce army in the middle and late Ming Dynasty except for Qi Jiguang's department, and the Ming army that was weak and unbearable in people's general impression today is very different, and the combat effectiveness of this Ming army can be described as fierce.
It is precisely because it is Li Chengliang's private soldier, so Li Chengliang is not unconcerned about this army, and they enjoy the good food, drink, use, and fun, and the rest of the Ming court soldiers and horses can only be raised by the queen, and this army that enjoys glory and wealth also misses Li Chengliang's kindness, and will be brave in all battles.
Therefore, there are traces of Liaodong soldiers looking down on other armies, just like tigers looking down on sheep, they feel that other local armies are sheep, only they are tigers, and a roar can make Mongolia and Jiannu tremble.
In fact, it was not until Xiao Ruxun led his troops south to Korea to conquer Japan that the generals and soldiers of the Liaodong Army had a rather drastic change in their views on the armies of other places, especially the Southern Soldiers and the Ningxia Firearms Battalion.
They began to realize that the armies in other places were just as capable of fighting, and the thought of the overwhelming muskets and artillery made their scalps tingle.
But in terms of combat effectiveness, this Liaodong Iron Cavalry is still one of the strongest armies of the Ming Dynasty, even if he is the general's private soldier, he also bears the mark of the Ming Dynasty, and he is fierce and strong in battle.
After Li Chengliang left his post, Li Rusong took over the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, increased investment and training on the basis of Li Chengliang, and trained this family unit to be more fierce.
Since the three years of the Korean War, Liaodong has not had even a single incident of taking the initiative to enter the army, but Li Rusong can't bear the loneliness, and often leads troops out to train troops in battle, which frightens many Mongolian and Jurchen tribes to desperately stay away from Liaodong and no longer live there.
It is precisely because of the existence of this army that Li Chengliang and Li Rusong father and son can continue the glory of the Li family, the general and the soldier are one, no one can do without anyone, if you want Li Chengliang to break away from the army established by one hand, to lead other troops to fight, he will not be adaptable, let alone the Beijing camp that is rotten from the roots.
Even if you give him a little bit of Jizhen's troops, he won't say that, but Jingying ......
The abolition of armament is just four words, but when it really appears in front of you, it is a shocking tragedy.
