Chapter 556: Black Flag Army
As soon as Sun Yuan said this, all the generals around him laughed softly, and even Liu Yuliang was a little embarrassed.
Yes, today's Jiannu is on the rise, and the whole country is full of vigor. The Qing soldiers of this era were arrogant and arrogant, but also fierce and brave. I have to admit that today's Eight Banners Army is the strongest army today. A few Jiannu dared to occupy a city, and a few hundred Bayala soldiers dared to rush to the large array of tens of thousands of Ming troops.
Even the Ming army, which was so weak and vulnerable in the past, once it surrendered to Jiannu and became people's coats and incorporated into the Han army flag, it was like being reborn and became cruel and iron-blooded
。
The 5,000 Qing army saw the 2,000 Ming army, but they were so frightened that they cowered in the barracks and didn't dare to come out, is it possible?
Jiannu reveres the good man, but he does not have any sympathy and tolerance for the weak. If these 5,000 Qing soldiers dare to do such a thing, they don't want to raise their heads in front of their companions in the future. Moreover, Huang Taiji is determined to be in the world, and he will never allow such strange things to happen.
Therefore, Liu Yuliang's worries are purely superfluous.
"And yes!" Sun Yuan pointed to the building in front of him: "There are no city walls, no fortifications, all wooden houses. If he doesn't come out, let's worry about it, put a rocket, and burn them to death. ”
Since this was the case, Sun Yuan was not in a hurry to attack, and simply asked the troops to stop at a distance of four miles from Botou Town.
The order was given, and more than 2,000 soldiers sat on the snow with a roar, bags of armor on the ground, and spears on the ground. All of them took a piece of bread from their bosoms and took a big bite of it. This is already their last ration, and if they are replaced by others, they don't know what they want the baby to look like. But the soldiers did not look distressed in the slightest, and ate happily. Some even grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and stuffed it into their thirsty mouths. As for food, everyone did not have the slightest worry. What if you eat it all, it's a big deal to grab it from the enemy.
The endless tents of the enemy on the opposite side, the swarthy granary, were like stripped women, who could feast as much as they wished.
Chen Tieshan walked around the crowd with a blushing face, and couldn't help but roar in a low voice: "You, you, and you, write down your name for me." How do you learn the rules, drink water indiscriminately, eat indiscriminately? When this battle is over, I will come and receive the punishment. ”
Liu Yuliang and others are also seizing the time to replenish their physical strength, as cabinet ministers, they move their qi and nourish their bodies, and the food is naturally exquisite. He used two unsweetened mung bean poria cakes, and drank a piece of incense wrapped in a cotton back, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he asked curiously: "Taichu, the regulations of your Ningxiang Army are strange, why don't you allow soldiers to drink raw water, not even drink water outside?" ”
Sun Yuan said with a smile: "Eat indiscriminately, drink raw water indiscriminately, if you have diarrhea, how can you fight." Our Ningxiang Army has a special cook, and the drinking water of the army needs to be filtered several times and boiled before it can be eaten. As for the dishes used for eating, after cleaning, they have to be steamed and disinfected in the cage drawer. Although it is more troublesome and the cost is not small, it can ensure that the troops will not have a plague in the summer. ”
"It's really exquisite, exquisite
! The clerks whispered.
Sun Yuan: "Husband and fighter, the place of death and life, the way of survival, you can't pay attention to it, especially this food, which is even more important." Ge Lao, this is also one of the core theories of the last general's training method, and the last general summed up a sentence. ”
Liu Yuliang: "At the beginning, you said. ”
Sun Yuan took a bite of the pancake that was as hard as iron sheets, and said: "The combat effectiveness of the lower-level non-commissioned officers depends on food and provisions, while the combat effectiveness of the middle- and upper-level officers comes from the smooth upward channel and fair competition mechanism. In other words, if you want ordinary soldiers to fight for you, you have to make them eat well. If you want the officers to do your job, you have to give them a future. ”
Liu Yuliang looked thoughtful, and after a long time, he handed a plate of pastries in his hand to Sun Yuan: "Dazai Siyan, it's really not thorough." In the beginning, you also worked hard along the way, and use a little. ”
Sun Yuan shook his head: "The combat effectiveness of the troops comes from sharing weal and worn. ”
"Dongdong Dongdong!" As he was talking, a loud drum sounded in the opposite town of Botou, and Jiannu began to assemble.
……
Kong Zhaomao got up when he was up, pouting his ass and squatting on the watchtower, and an hour has passed now.
It was the ninth winter, and the cold wind roared over the Grand Canal and the vast North China Plain, and the sound became louder and louder. Eventually, the high lookout swayed in the surging wind, and being in it was like sitting on a flat boat, and you didn't know when the boat would capsize.
Kong Zhao was originally a timid and cowardly man, different from the wealth that other generals of the Qing army earned from the battlefield with a knife and a gun. The reason why he was able to be a partial general of the Han army was because of his uncle Kong Youde.
After his uncle betrayed the Ming Dynasty and defected to Jianzhou in the year of the Apocalypse, it was also Huang Taiji who was merciful and allowed him to retain the army structure. And Kong Youde's army is still the Ming army, because his army is not so much the Han army flag of the Qing Dynasty as the Kong army. Since the army's surname is Kong, as Kong Youde's own nephew, it is inevitable that he will provoke the main beam in the army and hand it over to others, and Kong Youde is not at ease.
Therefore, even if he Kong Zhao was beaten to the ground by Sun Yuan during the first war in the ninth year of Chongzhen, he naturally still became his general when he returned to Liaodong, and this time he went south with Yue Tuo.
To tell the truth, in the past few years, Kong Zhao's life in Liaodong has been miserable. Although he is also an official of the Qing Dynasty, in the eyes of the old Tartar, he is just a slave and a slave
。 I'm happy, throw a bone over, and I'm not happy, that is, my fists and feet intersect. Don't say it's him, even if it's an uncle, I heard that when he was in the last court, he was slapped because he made Beizi and Ezhen unhappy.
Until now, Kong Zhaodanfan will respectfully shout "master" whenever he sees an old tartar with a shaved money rattail hair, whether they are officials or people, or a splash on the street, because you don't know whether the other party is a yellow belt, a white belt or a red belt, and which flag owner is standing behind him?
Jiannu does things, does not ask about the merits, only asks about the ethnic group. When the Han people and the Manchus clashed, they didn't know who was right and who was wrong, and they came up first to beat the Han people badly. Second-class people, after all, are second-class people, they must be careful in everything, and they must clamp their tails and be human.
Fortunately, Yue Tuo is a very good person, and since he entered the customs, he has also been quite good to Kong Zhao. He spoke softly and gently, and his attitude was kind, as if he were completely the flag bearer.
To him, Kong Zhao was not only grateful, but also grateful.
I heard that General Yue Tuo was a rare Khan faction among the Manchurian nobles, and he was also equal and friendly to the Han people, and he got along well with his uncle.
Therefore, this time he went south, Kong Zhao also flattered Yue Tuo in every way, as if he had gained his trust.
I remember that one day Yue Tuo suddenly became interested, got into Kong Zhao's tent, and wanted to eat and drink with him. The two drank for a long time and talked a lot. At the end, Yue Tuo suddenly sighed, reached out and patted Kong Zhao's shoulder: "Kong Zhao, I also know that you have a good personality and like to take care of the overall situation when you encounter problems. Because of this, many people are bullied on weekdays. You also need to be harder when necessary. We Jianzhou men, what we like is manhood, if you are too soft, others will bully you, but it is extraordinarily ruthless. Fight well, and don't let others look down on you. I have a close personal relationship with your uncle, and if you have any problems in the future, you may as well tell me, and you will definitely be in charge. ”
was patted on the shoulder by him, Kong Zhao only felt that the bones on his body were a few pounds lighter, and he was so moved that he burst into tears.
I swear in my heart, I, Kong Zhao, will be with General Dingyue in my life, as long as he says one last sentence, in the water and in the fire, there will be no two words.
Now, what he hopes most is that Yue Tuo will send him an envoy as soon as possible, so as to live up to his expectations.
The opportunity was coming, and on the second day, Yue Tuo raised the account and said that he was going to enter Shandong with the main army. It's a pity that the army robbed a lot of property, grain, grass and baggage in the capital, which was inconvenient to carry, so it had to be placed in Botou Town and build a transit station.
The main purpose of this transit station is logistical supply, but whenever the front-line troops are short of food and clothing, they must organize manpower to be sent to the battlefield as soon as possible
。
"Food is the strength of soldiers, there are many big cities in Shandong waiting for us to fight, garrisoning Botou Town is a big matter, we need to send a proper person to guard it, who is willing to volunteer?" As he spoke, Yue Tuo fell his earnest gaze on Kong Zhao.
When had Kong Zhao ever been taken so seriously, his heart was hot, and he immediately walked out and said loudly: "The last general is willing to stay in Botou." ”
"Okay, it's worthy of Kong Zhaojiang, and it didn't disappoint me!" Yue Tuo shouted hello.
So, Kong Zhao stayed with 5,000 Han army banner soldiers.
He thought that this was Yue Tuo's trust in him, but he didn't know that in fact, Yue Tuo's military plan to attack Shandong this time was to uproot several big cities. The troops he had on hand were already insufficient, and if he left a few thousand Eight Banner Army to defend, he would be even more stretched. Anyway, the Han army has no place to be, and it can't be used to attack the city, but it's still okay to abuse the border army of the Ming Dynasty.
Kong Zhao had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and after he triumphantly walked and stationed in Botou, he was taken aback when he counted his belongings.
In addition to the accumulation of enough food for 10,000 people to eat for half a year, 2,000 sets of clothes, gunpowder, feathered arrows, and countless swords and guns, the most shocking thing here is the ten boatloads of gold and silver.
After Kong Zhao got the account book, he also went on the ship to count it in person. A total of 160,000 taels of silver, jewelry, jade, bones, and Dong Dong could not be counted. As for the copper coins, from Hongwu Tongbao to Tianqi Tongbao, they are piled up in the ballast of the ship like sand and stones.
If you are not mistaken, these belongings should be the success of Yue Tuo's entry and robbery.
Now that it is all in the custody of Kong Zhao, how can this trust not make him grateful and repay him with death?
However, the news brought by the scout last night made his heart beat wildly: "General Yukong, there is a Ming army of 2,000 people in front of me galloping towards my Botou Town. The subordinates didn't find out which part of the enemy they belonged to, but they all flew black flags? ”
"Under a black flag?" Kong Zhao's face changed drastically, and a nightmare emerged from the deepest part of his mind.
"Black Flag Army, Black Flag Army!" There was a buzz in his head, causing him to almost fall off the watchtower.
