Chapter 262: Return
I was concerned about the situation in the old camp of the Ningxiang Army in Chuzhou, and decided to go out of the city at the end of the day, but Sun Yuan couldn't sleep, rolled on the bed for a long time, and finally waited for the time, hurriedly dressed up, and ate something indiscriminately. ()
So, dozens of people and more than a dozen big cars shouted and were about to leave the hospital with torches.
At this time, suddenly, someone in Tang Wenxing's room shouted: "Hey, hey, Tang Gongzi, can't you go out...... On such a cold day, the fever finally subsided, if you are cold, how can you be good? ”
The person who spoke was the black strong woman who served Tang Wenxing.
Hearing this shout, Sun Yuan was taken aback, and couldn't help but stop and look back, only to see that the lights had been lit in Tang Wenxing's room.
Although Tang Wenxing's voice was still low, there was an urgent noise that could not be concealed: "Stop, stop, help me out...... Get me out, slut, I'm going to kill you! ”
For a moment, the whole courtyard fell silent.
Sun Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Brother Tang, why did you wake up?" ”
Tang Wenxing's heavy gasp sounded in the room: "General Sun, I'm already well, and I want to come out to send you off." ”
Then he shouted to the woman who served him, "Quick, carry me out." ”
Sun Yuan was about to persuade again, but the door opened
。
The woman walked out with Tang Wen in her arms, carefully letting him sit on the chair under the eaves.
In the dim light, Tang Wenxing still looked pale, so thin that his collarbone stood tall.
Sun Yuan stepped forward and touched his forehead, as if his hands were not so hot, he felt a little comforted in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tang is reluctant to brothers? ”
Tang Wenxing smiled vigorously: "For so many days and nights, life and death, Tang and Brother Pao Ze have come over together. Now, I want to break up with the world, but my heart is like a knife and axe, and I can't give it up. Laughing and laughing, tears fell. (Marshmallow offers Txt free download)
From his gaze, Sun Yuan saw a deep reluctance and a trace of panic.
Look at him sitting tightly in a cotton robe on a chair, but like a poor baby.
Sun Yuan felt a pain in his heart, and forced a smile: "What is the end of the world, don't think about it, after two months, I will send someone to the Xinguo Mansion to find you." Take care of your injuries, and I hope to see a healthy soup when the time comes. ”
Tang Wenxing nodded slightly, and the tears were still flowing.
Sun Yuan: "Take care, just turn around and get on the war horse?" ”
Another soldier from the Ningxiang Army stepped forward, stretched out his hand and patted Tang Wenxing's shoulder: "Brother Tang is really a good man, take care!" ”
And then another.
More than 30 people stepped forward to say goodbye to Tang Wenxing.
Wait until Sun Yuan and the others rode horses and just got out of the hospital.
Suddenly, Tang Wenxing, who was sitting under the eaves, shouted with all his strength: "I'm Ningxiang Army."
! ”
Everyone turned their heads at the same time and roared in a low voice: "Ulla! ”
"I'm Ningxiang Army!"
Sun Yuan's tears finally fell, and he twisted his head: "Go!" ”
……
By the time the procession reached the gate of the city, it was dawning. Seeing that Sun Yuan had arrived, the two guards hurriedly opened the city gate.
Sun Yuan rolled up 20,000 taels of silver from the Sizhou Treasury, for fear of being caught by Yang Wei, where would he dare to delay, so he hurriedly rushed out with his subordinates with a roar.
After walking several miles out of the city and making sure that no one was chasing after him, Sun Yuan's heart was a little more stable.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty for more than a year, he can be said to have fought a few times in life and death, and his mind has already been cultivated as strong as iron and stone. Even on the battlefield of flesh and blood, he can still stay calm. But how can this heart keep beating today?
"This Yang Zhizhou is so difficult to deal with, he actually scared Sun Yuan, a fierce general on the battlefield, like this?" Seeing Sun Yuan's fearful face, Zhu Xuanshui couldn't help but make a joke about him.
Sun Yuan touched his forehead: "Yes, when I see the old master now, I feel a sense of shock." Fortunately, I finally got out of the city, and he and I will meet indefinitely. ”
Zhu Xuanshui thought thoughtfully: "Sun Yuan, if you go to Gyeonggi in the future, and as Lu Jiandou's right-hand man, you will inevitably have to deal with the ministers and doctors in the future, and you have to get used to it as soon as possible." The battlefield and the court are completely different things. ”
Sun Yuan smiled: "You want me to enter the role as soon as possible!" ”
This time he came to Sizhou, Sun Yuan only brought more than 30 horses, and this time he not only returned with a full load, but also got the great merit of capturing Gao Yingxiang, and his heart was also extremely satisfied.
According to his speculation, Lu Xiangsheng's two great victories in Chuzhou and Sizhou will take at least half a month to be delivered to the capital, and it is estimated that it will have to wait for more than a month when the imperial court rewards are down. And if Lu Xiangsheng wants to completely exterminate the forces of the peasant army, it will take at least a year.
From this point of view, even if he wants to take Ning Xiangjun to Xuanfu to take up the post of chief deputy of Lu Inspector, there will be a long time for him to be his successor in the future.
Sun Yuan did not have nothing to do during this year, first of all, he needed to settle the 10,000 displaced people captured in the first war of Qingliuguan
。 To tell the truth, these more than 10,000 people, with the strength of thousands of households in Ningxiang, want to be properly settled, but they can't do it. The land in Ningxiang is cramped and densely populated, and there is not so much wasteland for them to cultivate.
You can only squeeze it on the river flats and hillsides to see if you can squeeze some land out.
But farming is not a good business in any era, and it is conceivable that in the next year, Sun Yuan will have to pay part of his own pocket to feed them. A year later, I waited until I went to the north. It is said that there is a lot of wasteland in Hebei for a generation, and it should not be a big problem to move them to Xuanfu for reclamation when the time comes.
In addition to rehousing displaced people, the army also needs to be replenished with new recruits. In the Chuzhou War, the casualties of the troops were not small, and there were hundreds of wounded who could not be used as soldiers on the battlefield in the future, so they had to recruit new soldiers to fill the vacancies.
After replenishing the new recruits, they had to undergo training for half a year before they could go to the battlefield.
In fact, today's Ningxiang Army can only form a force of 2,000 people. In two bloody battles in a row, there are only a few hundred veterans who were trained in Ningxiang at the beginning, and the rest are newcomers, so it can be said that today's Ningxiang Army is the weakest time.
Even though it was very likely that this army would be supplemented by Lu Xiangsheng in the future with the backbone of the Tianxiong Army, Sun Yuan still considered retaining the establishment of the Ningxiang Army and leading it himself. After all, the size of the Tianxiong Army is ten times that of Ningxiang, and there are still many old people in the army, if there is no own army to shake the face, what qualifications will there be to be Lu Xiangsheng's successor in the future?
The training of new recruits will take at least half a year, and in addition, equipping the troops with artillery should also be on the agenda. But where do qualified artillery commanders, qualified artillerymen, and qualified artillery casters come from?
Seeing that Sun Yuan suddenly closed his mouth and didn't say a word, and he looked preoccupied, Zhu Xuanshui couldn't help but ask, "Sun Yuan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Sun Yuan: "I'm thinking about artillery, by the way, Deputy Zhu Qianhu, have you run a lot of Liaodong before, but have you ever been in contact with artillery?" His heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that this Zhu Xuanshui had worked in Jianzhou before. In the army of the Ming Dynasty, there was the most artillery, and the most familiar with artillery tactics was probably only the Guan Ning army.
Zhu Xuanshui: "In the early years, when I was on an errand in Beiya, I did go to Liaodong to do fine work. He is also very familiar with the situation of Guan Ningjun and Jiannu. However, since the Denglai Rebellion in Shandong in the year of the Apocalypse, after Kong Youde brought the artillery and artillery of the firearms battalion to Jianzhou, the fire paint battalion of the Guanning Army has declined. ”
Sun Yuan: "I just want to ask Guan Ningjun's use of firearms, by the way, is the Hongyi cannon very powerful."
。 It is said that even Nurhachi was killed by this cannon. ”
The so-called Hongyi cannon is an English-made cannon purchased from the Portuguese during the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, with a maximum range of 20 miles.
Later generations will blow the power of this kind of cannon to the sky, what "one cannon is issued, erosion ten miles", Sun Yuan expressed doubts.
"Killed by a cannon?" Zhu Xuanshui smiled faintly: "It's just a rumor." ”
"How?"
Zhu Xuanshui: "Nurhachi was already sixty years old, and he was already in his prime. At such an age, if you still go to the battlefield to fight, you may die with a cold and cold. It is estimated that the people of the Liaodong Army took the merit when they saw the old slave die, right? Such an amazing feat was sent to you, in exchange for you, will you let it go? Even if you don't kill it yourself, you have to grab it. Of course, if it is replaced by another way of death, there must be evidence and physical evidence, and when the court comes to inspect it, it will not be easy to pass that level. simply said that it was killed by a cannon, so there is no way to verify it. ”
Sun Yuan smiled: "But it's also, by the way, what is the power of the Hongyi cannon, I heard that it can shoot twenty miles away." ”
"Bragging, how can you hit so far, it's good to be able to shoot ten miles." Zhu Xuanshui: "If you want to go far, you need to charge more charges, but the problem is that there are too many guns, and you are afraid of exploding, so you simply don't take that risk." As for the power, it is also average, in my opinion, but it is not much stronger than other types of artillery, only one is durable and durable. Moreover, this thing is too heavy to be carried on the battlefield at all, and is mostly used for defending the city. ”
"In fact, since Guan Ningjun's firearms battalion was taken away by Kong Youde and others, the use of firearms has not been successful, and it is not even as good as Jiannu. If you want to go there and recruit talent, I'm afraid you won't be able to. ”
Sun Yuan nodded: "Thank you Zhu Qianhu for solving my doubts, it seems that I have to rely on myself to form artillery." ”
Zhu Xuanshui was strange in his heart: "Sun Yuan, now the Ningxiang Army is strong enough. Besides, artillery isn't interesting, it's expensive, so why bother so much with it? ”
Indeed, the role of artillery in warfare in this era has not yet been intuitively understood by many people. In their opinion, the cannon was too heavy and could only be used when defending the city or attacking the fortified city. In the field, this thing is inconvenient to transport, and it is really a chicken rib.
