Chapter 180: Depression



The middle and lower-level officers in Sun Yuan's army were all old men in Taiyuan Town, Shanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty, and at the beginning, even if Sun Yuan, as a traverser, had insight and foresight beyond everyone in this era, and had an incomparable advantage in strategy and estimation of the general trend. But when it comes to the details of how to lead troops and how to fight, he is already a layman.

Therefore, in the past six months, while training his soldiers, he also humbly learned the military rules of this era from his subordinates

However, the Ningxiang Army is too weak and can't use many things. This time, I finally met Lu Xiangsheng, this is an army of nearly 100,000 people. This time I was able to enter the old camp of the Ming Dynasty army, so I naturally had to observe and observe.

The combat effectiveness of an army is not only reflected in the performance on the battlefield, but also in how logistics operate, how it trains on weekdays, and even how the camp is arranged.

Sun Yuan listened to Zhu Xuanshui's words, and although he was depressed in his heart, he also calmed down and observed carefully.

At this glance, he shook his head.

On the surface, the old camp of the Ming army is placed in a neat and orderly manner, and the camp is crisscrossed with countless straight galloping roads, which seems to be refreshing, but it is wrong to do so.

According to Fei Hong, when their Taiyuan town army set up camp, the passage in the camp would not be like this, but twisted and turned, and there was no law at all. At first, Sun Yuan was puzzled and asked why. Fei Hong explained that if the passage in the camp was straight and orderly, if the enemy stole the camp, it would be easy to kill the Chinese army. On the contrary, even if the enemy rushes into the camp, it will take a lot of trouble to meet the commander.

Sun Yuan thought so.

However, now that Lu Xiangsheng's camp looks neat and tidy, it is a big violation of the way of using soldiers.

It is said that Lu Xiangsheng is also a person who knows soldiers, how could he make such a low-level mistake, it is unreasonable!

Shaking his head, Sun Yuanyou carefully observed the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and this look made his heart even more uneasy.

In the battalion, I walked about a pot of tea, .cc [marshmallow] among them, the best equipment, the strongest combat effectiveness should be the Liaodong soldiers, these soldiers are very big and brightly armored, well-armed, they look tall, and the nutrition of the soldiers is good; The second should be Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, according to real historical records, the backbone of this group of soldiers is Hebei soldiers, but the soldiers are all from Huguang, and the equipment is much worse than that of Liaodong soldiers; The worst is the guards of Nanzhili, these people are wearing shabby mandarin duck battle jackets, only a small number of people are wearing cotton armor, and many of the weapons in their hands are embroidered, and the red tassels on the red tassel guns have fallen off.

The soldiers come from a mixed range of sources and belong to different systems, and it is estimated that it is a headache to unify them. Moreover, these troops did not seem to have good military discipline, some of them walked around the camps, and some of them shouted in their tents for food, wine, and money...... It looks like an armed tour group

Sun Yuan was a little puzzled, how did such a bad army achieve this Chuzhou victory, it didn't make sense?

Perhaps, the peasant army is worse, right?

Thinking of this, Sun Yuan began to recall the situation of the peasant army in Fengyang last year, because he had not seen the performance of the thief army on the battlefield, and he had no way to make a judgment. As for the Battle of Qingliuguan, it was a sneak attack. It's not a head-to-head confrontation on the battlefield, and it doesn't mean anything?

Thinking in my heart, I walked to a huge tent without friends.

There were a few sturdy guards standing at the door, and they looked like elite warriors. What surprised Sun Yuan even more was that these people were all wearing military generals' uniforms of seven or eight grades, and they obviously had some origins.

As soon as these guards spoke, they were full of oily Beijing accents: "Yo, it turns out that Zhu Qianhu is here, hurry up, Fan Shangshu and Lu Inspector are waiting for you!" This is Sun Qianhu, who is taking credit. ”

These people spoke with hippie smiles, like old officials who had been rolling in the yamen for many years, rather than soldiers.

Hearing these guards say that they were taking a skill, Sun Yuan frowned, and Zhu Ting next to him was also full of anger.

Zhu Xuanshui arched his hand and smiled kindly: "It is Sun Qianhu of Qianhu in Weining Township, Dahe, speaking of which Sun Qianhu is also an interesting person, everyone will serve in the army in the future, and you brothers will take care of it." ”

A seventh-grade guard said with a smile: "Since Brother Zhu said so, what problems are there?" Find a time, let's drink Taida wine together, happy and happy, I can't imagine that this damn Jiangnan is cold like this, colder than Jingshi. If you don't want to come here to make some merits, who the hell would come to suffer this crime. You wait, I'll go in and tell the two masters in the tent. ”

"Don't be busy." Zhu Xuanshui grabbed the man and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation inside?" ”

The guard smiled: "What else can I do, you are from the factory guard, and this Sun Qianhu was recommended by you." Fan Shangshu's family is a serious two-rank jinshi, and it has long been unpleasant to see you, so you have to be careful. ”

When this man spoke, he was loud and forceful, and he was not afraid of the people inside hearing it.

Seeing him enter, Sun Yuan was curious, and couldn't help but whisper to Zhu Xuanshui about the origin of these people

Zhu Xuanshui whispered in his ear: "They are all sons of nobles, some in Beijing, some in Nanjing, and the worst ones also have the titles of Du Cavalry Lieutenant and Cloud Cavalry Captain." In the past, when we were in Liangjing, we were all sons of honorable people, but we often ate and drank together. This group of people came out with Lu Xiangsheng this time, not to make some merits. ”

Sun Yuan was a little surprised, since the civil fort of the Ming Dynasty, the children of Xun Gui and the children of the royal family have completely degenerated into rice worms that eat and wait for death.

Probably seeing his doubts, Zhu Xuanshui said with a smile: "These guys all have some backgrounds, who doesn't have a few princes and elders standing behind them, Xu, Zhang, Zhu, and Chang, even the emperor will give some face." Lord Lu, Fan Shangshu, didn't dare to send them out to fight. It's nothing more than raising them in the old camp, waiting until the battle is over, and recording their names in the merit book. Moreover, this time, there are many soldiers in our court, and no matter how you look at it, you will not lose. Even if they lose, these grandsons have horses and can run faster than anyone else. The matter of bloodshed and death is not yet their turn. ”

As he was talking, a voice sounded majestically in the big tent of the Chinese army: "Sun Yuan is here, come in!" ”

As soon as I stepped into the amazingly large tent, I was greeted by a hot air, and the snow on my head suddenly melted, and the wetness made people very uncomfortable.

There were many people in it, and the light was not too good, and for a while, Sun Yuan had a feeling of dizziness.

I saw that there was a scarlet carpet inside, more than a dozen officers kneeling on both sides, and a few clerks were busy in front of the desk.

These officers are all of high grades, most of them are second or third grades, if they are not mistaken, they should all be the commanders of Nanzhili.

It was so cold that almost all the officers carried bronze hand stoves, and some even wore fox fur coats, and sat crookedly one by one.

Dahewei's commander Fang Richang was mixed in with the generals, and when he saw Sun Yuan, his face was full of hideousness.

At the head of the tent were three men, the most striking of which was a tall old man with a dark and rough face, thick hands and feet, wearing a bright red military attache uniform, and an arrogant dragon embroidered on the patch on his chest.

The other person is a civil official of the second grade, about fifty years old, tall and arm-long, with a face like a crown of jade, and three long beards without wind, really like a fairy figure.

Compared with these two people, the other person is not wearing an official uniform, which is not so noticeable

The man was thin and small, and wore a white-washed kudzu robe, with a frayed neckline and a torn elbow. He turned his back to Sun Yuan and set his eyes on a map, ignoring the arrival of Sun Yuan and Zhu Xuanshui.

Seeing the momentum of the two people before, Sun Yuan thought to himself: If nothing else, the military attache should be Zu Kuan, the chief soldier of Liaodong, and the civilian official should be Lu Xiangsheng.

Zhu Xuanshui next to him pulled Sun Yuan in half and bowed down: "Zhu Xuanshui, deputy of Nanjing Jinyi Wei, has brought Sun Yuan, a thousand households in Dahe Weining Township, to meet Fan Shangshu." ”

Sun Yuan also gave a salute: "Sun Yuan pays a visit to Fan Shangshu." He was surprised in his heart, he originally thought that such an extraordinary person was Lu Xiangsheng, but he didn't want it to be Fan Jingwen. In this way, the person who looks simple and short, and does not look outstanding, is Inspector Lu, which is too unexpected!

What kind of eyesight he had, it was obvious that when he and Zhu Xuanshui stepped forward to salute, Fan Jingwen obviously showed disgust on his face.

He slapped the big case suddenly: "You are Sun Yuan, raise your head and let Lord Ben see what kind of character he is, who can annihilate 30,000 thieves with just a few hundred soldiers from a thousand households." ”

There was a "pop", so loud, that the entire Chinese army tent immediately fell silent.

Lu Xiangsheng was still looking at the map, as if he didn't care.

Fan Jingwen sneered again, and said to Zhu Xuanshui: "Zhu Xuanshui, you came to report the victory, saying that just one Ningxiang army defeated the forward battalion of the thief army with a few hundred musketeers. As far as this official knows, the general of the thief army is Liu Zongmin, the first warrior of the thief, and he is the essence of the camp. Not to mention a small thousand-household, even if it is the elite of the nine-sided town, it will take a lot of effort to defeat this enemy army, amazing, amazing! ”

"I didn't expect that Dahewei's soldiers were so strong, hehe, a thousand households could defeat 30,000 thieves. Dahewei is not only one Ningxiang, the thief army has thirty finishes, I think, Dahewei can fight by himself. The imperial court dispatched so many troops, and it was completely unnecessary to spend such a huge amount of military spending! ”

With a gun and a stick in his words, he was bitter and mean, and Sun Yuan suddenly felt a sense of depression in his heart, and he couldn't help but say in a loud voice: "Shangshu is suspecting that Sun Yuan has taken the initiative to ask for a reward?" ”

As soon as he said it, he felt regretful: impulsive, impulsive!
