Chapter 288: Battle (24)

There was a faint sound of drumming and passing on the generals, and Sun Chuanting had already convened a military meeting not long after he arrived.

Zhang Quanbin, Cao Qing and the others looked at each other and nodded, and immediately rushed towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

Along the way, many people in armor saw Zhang Quanbin and others coming, and there was curiosity in their eyes, as well as a lot of naked contempt and slight hostility.

In the past six months or so, Shandong Town has fought many times with the bandits and thieves, and there have also been small-scale exchanges between the Qing army that has traveled south, and most of the local armed forces have been reorganized by Zhao'an, so it is not surprising that there is hostility to the central armed forces such as the Pingyu Army.

Of course, it may be more of a gorgeous military uniform that shows the majestic and masculine temperament of the soldiers, which makes many people feel jealousy that is difficult to suppress.

The armor worn by the Beidi armor of the Ming Dynasty was the same as that of the Qing army, in fact, the Qing army originally learned from the Ming army. Xuzhou Town has been improved, after all, Xuzhou's armor stomach is mostly supplied by Huai'an's Jiajian Bureau.

Here in Shandong, there are mostly cotton plackets with cotton cloth and iron sheets, with a combat skirt on the lower body and iron mesh combat boots on the feet.

Coupled with the helmet with a lightning rod on his head, his outfit is at least forty or fifty pounds, which is very heavy.

At this time, most of the people who did not wear for war were the Chinese army and the troops on duty, and when they saw the soldiers of the Pingyu Army coming, these soldiers only looked at them coldly, and they did not have the same enthusiasm as the ordinary soldiers and the people outside.

Seeing this, Cao Qing and Zhang Quanbin both nodded slightly.

The elite of the Chinese army, after all, has a little extraordinary energy.

When I arrived near the big tent of the Chinese army, it was a sea of red and yellow. Shocking to the eye, leather armor, iron armor, cotton armor, cloth armor, everyone's armor and stomach are painted with red paint, and under the bright red, they are all arrogant people who look unruly.

This is Sun Chuanting's Chinese military account, and the elite level of the Chinese army must be above the Lu army, even if it is the Lu army under Zhu Dadian, it is far inferior.

This is where the last embers of the Qin army are!

They get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, work more than cows, eat cow and horse rice, fight, and have the courage to move forward and ignore life and death.

The Qin army is worthy of being the pride of the Ming Empire!

If the main force of the tens of thousands of Qin troops back then had the current logistics and armor equipment, I am afraid that the Battle of Persimmon Garden and the Battle of Henan would have another result.

If the essence of the Qin army in the Battle of Songshan had the current equipment and armor, I am afraid that the entire history could be rewritten.

After passing through the honor guard composed of various weapons such as leopard tail guns, forks, halberds, and ge, under a banner with the word "Sun" written on it, it was the camp that Zhu Dadian had prepared for Sun Chuanting.

"The last general, Zhang Quanbin!"

"The last general Cao Qing!"

"The last general is a thousand miles of gold!"

After entering the tent, there are dozens of generals in the huge tent standing all the way to the inner tent along the outer tent, and in the place between the inside and outside, laying soft cushions, with the identity of the three standard systems and Sun Chuanting is too far away, so the court participation ceremony is inevitable.

The three of them are also obedient, although Zhu Cihong does not like to kneel and worship, but with Sun Chuanting's temper and surname, the three of them also know that they must not be disrespectful, so they signed up to worship and were very respectful.

For the three generals sent by the princes, Sun Chuanting also gave a special color, and after standing and receiving the salute, he returned the salute twice, and then said in a harmonious voice: "The three generals, please get up!" ”

"Yes!"

Cao Qing jumped up and stood proudly with his sword.

Zhang Quanbin and Jin Qianli thanked each other first, and then stood up, both of them looked directly at Sun Chuanting, both of them were indifferent and confident, and they were not embarrassed and afraid.

The dozens of generals in the tent were also looking at the generals of the Pingyu Army.

His Royal Highness the Prince's own martial arts, everyone present knew very well that the imperial cavalry that went out of Beijing to kill the Shun army, blocked the pursuing cavalry in Tianjin, and captured Liu Zeqing's army in Huai'an, which were all very courageous martial arts.

The prince's military attache team, that is, these original military attaches in the East Palace, have already entered everyone's sight.

It's just that in the eyes of those present, the prince's own cavalry, thousands of cavalry, and sudden attacks are just the strength of his personal force, and as for the ability to command the soldiers, he has really not been tested.

From this point of view, the combat effectiveness of the Pingyu Army really needs to be tested.

It's just that the performance of these three standard commanders is really excellent.

is worthy of being a military attache elected by the prince himself, Cao Qing has first-class courage, Zhang Quanbin and Jin Qianli also show the demeanor of generals, and for a while, a look has already made many people nod secretly.

"The three generals have worked hard from afar!"

Although he had just arrived thousands of miles away, Sun Chuanting first praised the three generals for a few words, and then said to Zhu Dadian, who was at the bottom of his left: "Old Man, you just came in and said that there was an emergency military situation, can you please tell me?" ”

He is a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, but Zhu Dadian is in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, and his name is one boundary earlier, so although Sun Chuanting's official position is high, he is also polite to Zhu Dadian.

Sun Chuanting's temper is arrogant and arrogant, and it is difficult to have good reviews for those who work with his colleagues.

After thousands of miles of Shaanzhou, to Xuzhou and deliberately subdued Gao Jie, now Sun Chuanting, those bad temper and too rigid and confident side have been thrown away, and what remains is perseverance and resoluteness and rare military outstanding talents of ordinary Ming Dynasty officials at that time.

"Taibao orders, of course obey orders."

Compared with Sun Chuanting, Zhu Dadian is only a step behind. Half of the generals in this tent are also under his command.

Looking around, Zhu Dadian's voice was like a friend of gold and stone, and there was a smile in his eyes that couldn't be hidden: "My lords, generals, Zhao Yingyuan, the chief military officer of Qingzhou Town, led his town standard cavalry battalion and left and right wing battalions of 3,500 people to the north, and when the troops came to Dezhou, Fang Dayou, the governor of Shandong in the east, only had more than 600 soldiers. ”

Zhu Dadian recruited a lot of generals in Shandong, such as Gong Wencai, Ma Yingxian, Li Wensheng, Yang Zhihua, all of whom were originally thieves and giants, the most outstanding of which was Zhao Yingyuan, who was originally a part of the Shun Army, was magnificent, and his subordinates had more than 20,000 steps to ride, and were persuaded by Zhu Dadian to ride into Qingzhou alone, and then returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Qingzhou and Jiaozhou are accepted in this way.

Zhao Yingyuan beheaded Ke Yongsheng, the general soldier of Jiaodong, and it was an important battle to subdue the Jiaodong Peninsula in Shandong.

This time, he led the army to the north and won the first battle, no wonder Zhu Dadian was very proud.

At this time, Shandong's attitude was completely different from that in history.

In the original historical time and space, in June and July of the first year of Shunzhi, because Nanming did not want to forge ahead, he did not send a soldier to the north at all, so the military and civilian gentry of Shandong were extremely disappointed.

And the Qing Dynasty just sent a demote like Fang Dayou, leading thousands of Han troops to go directly to Jinan first and control the provincial capital. Then he sent thousands of Manchurian soldiers to sweep away Cangzhou and Bazhou, and sent Ke Yongsheng to lead more than 1,000 Han troops to directly take down the vast Jiaodong Peninsula.

All the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty surrendered along the way, and before Zhao Yingyuan's Qingzhou Change, the Qing Dynasty took it almost bloodlessly in half of Hebei and the entire territory of Shandong.

The current situation is completely different from the original.

With the support of Zhu Cihong, Zhu Dadian led troops into Shandong in the summer, and along the way, the original local guards rejoiced, and quickly became Zhu Dadian's reliable rear and money and grain base.

Then with the help of the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, subdued Zhao Yingyuan and other troops who were isolated from the main force of the Shun army, and fought against those stubborn local bandits, most of Shandong fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the power of the Qing Dynasty has always been dominated by the Ming Dynasty.

This time he went north, and he did a lot of work in advance, and Zhu Dadian deliberately mobilized an army to threaten Linqing. For the Qing army, Linqing was an important place to curb the Ming army's northward movement along the waterway, and Jinan was the center, and Dezhou and Linqing were very important places.

As soon as the suspicious soldiers moved, the main Manchurian force of the Qing army in Shandong was mobilized to the front line of Linqing, and Dezhou became very empty here.

At this time, it can be seen that the Qing army was seriously understaffed at the beginning of the customs clearance.

In such an important place as Shandong, there were only a few thousand Han troops at the beginning of the surrender.

Before Duoduo went south, less than 10,000 Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners were mobilized to garrison, and later went south with Duoduo.

In the whole of Shandong, there was no time when the garrison exceeded 20,000 people.

As for the Abatai Division that has just been sent out of Yanjing, where to arrive at this time, the Military Intelligence Department has no specific information, but it will be possible to arrive in the morning and evening, and at this time, Texas is in hand, and going north is a thoroughfare!

"Very good." Sun Chuanting was also extremely happy. The Qing army that rushed south from Yanjing has always been a thorn in his heart, and now Zhu Dadian is old and spicy, fast and ruthless, and the layout is also good, which is equivalent to laying an excellent foundation before his arrival.

The main force of the Qing army only had five or six thousand soldiers before Abatai went south, and it would take time to reunite.

He looked at the tent and said to Gao Jie first: "General Gao, please bring 3,000 cavalry quickly, your department is not enough, you can mobilize all the cavalry under my supervision battalion, and you must gallop to Texas to support General Zhao." In addition to leaving officers and soldiers in the city, the southwest of Texas is high and open, using cavalry to attack, with the enemy to occupy our inferior, with our occupation the enemy needs to attack on the back, so it is very important, please set off immediately, starry night gallop to help, there can be no mistake. ”

Gao Jie bowed slightly and promised: "I will leave immediately, and I will never dare to delay." ”

Sun Chuanting's arrangement is very important, although Dezhou is down, but Zhao Yingyuan's battalion of more than 3,000 soldiers, when it encounters the main force of the Qing army going north, it is bound to be difficult to beat.

"Okay, please leave now."

Gao Jie clenched his fists, and immediately gathered his own town standard generals outside the tent, and ordered to go down and mobilize all the cavalry in the camp.

"The rest of the battalions also need to prepare in a hurry, now order the whole army to prepare, set off one after another, ask each battalion to carry troops, move the baggage and everything, and send it up again by the baggage battalion, each battalion is lightly armed, and is ready to go to Texas with the old man to face the battle!"

Sun Chuanting looked around and said resolutely: "This battle is very important, whether it can frustrate the arrogance of the arrogant, only whether the generals fight hard, those who have merit, the court will have a heavy reward, and those who are cowardly before the battle, the official will be cut with the sword of Shang Fang, and will not lenient!" ”
