Sun Yuan was a little embarrassed, and persuaded him, but it was just a trivial matter. The sergeants of the Sichuan army and the instructors sent by the Ningxiang army need time to get along. The most important thing now is that the authority of the instructor is still established, after all, any of the officers and soldiers under General Wang's command are of a higher grade than the instructor under my command.

Sun Yuan meant to ask Wang Yuncheng to gather his officers and soldiers and make them obey the instructor's training in the form of military orders.

However, Wang Yuncheng laughed and kept saying, "General Sun, eat wine, eat wine." "Shut up and don't answer this stubble.

This meal made Sun Yuan dizzy. That Wang Yuncheng has a big belly, and his eating appearance is ugly, and there are constantly juice dripping on his heart, which looks very dirty.

After Sun Yuan was helped out of the Chinese army's tent by the guards, Wang Yuncheng, who looked drunk before, suddenly sat up straight, his eyes were bright, and he still looked a little drunk like mud on his body, and the noisy tent just now also quieted down

。

"Whole training, whole training, Sun Taichu thinks beautifully, this is to organize my Sichuan army to himself, when Wang Yuncheng is a fool?" Wang Yuncheng sneered.

A general-level officer said: "General Wang, it is the intention of the superintendent to let Sun Yuan help train the Tianxiong army, and it is not easy for us to disobey." ”

"Indeed." Not only did several other generals and guerrilla officers bow slightly, but even the generals under Wang Yuncheng said yes.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Yuan to escort Gao Yingxiang into Beijing to offer prisoners, and Lu Xiangsheng not only sent out his main force, the Sichuan Army, but also selected more than a dozen officers from other troops to accompany him. After all, the pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven is a great honor, and meritorious soldiers from other troops should also enjoy this treatment.

This time into Beijing, the Tianxiong Army sent at least more than 30% of the officers to accompany it, which can be said to be the essence of the Tianxiong Army.

Hearing the discussion of his colleagues and subordinates, Wang Yuncheng sneered even louder: "You know a ghost, haven't you seen it yet, the superintendent is going to hand over the entire Tianxiong Army to Sun Taichu!" ”

These words were earth-shattering, and the big tent immediately fell silent.

"Wang Yuncheng, you can make your words clear." A guerrilla general in his early fifties said in a deep voice.

Wang Yuncheng: "Sun Yuan's contribution this time is too great, and the future will inevitably be indispensable." Didn't I tell Sun Taichu before, I don't know if this Sun Yuan will get a position as a general soldier, and at worst he will be a guard commander. This can be seen from the martial arts awarded to him by the imperial court. If he is transferred to another military town, or if other guards are to be transferred to us, they have nothing to do with us. However, this time, the overseer asked him to help train my Tianxiong Army, don't you see anything? ”

The guerrilla general: "General Wang, you go on. ”

Wang Yuncheng: "Sun Yuan's credit is too great, the key is that this person has a smooth tone, and he somehow won the favor of the superintendent and entered his eyes." The superintendent is the most talented, but I am afraid that he has already started to accept him into his pocket. If the superintendent wants to recruit the Ningxiang army in its entirety, it will be fine, and we will not have one more brother. They are all their own people, and they are naturally very affectionate when they meet. However, the superintendent asked him to train all the armies, that is, to prepare for Sun Yuan to receive my Tianxiong army in the future! ”

Another officer shook his head: "This is just General Wang's speculation, and it should not be accurate." ”

"What do you know?" Wang Yuncheng pointed to his eyes with his finger: "Lao Wang, I have been in the army for many years, and I don't dare to boast about anything else, this pair of tricks is very bright."

。 You think, the superintendent is a civilian official, and it is impossible for him to lead troops for the rest of his life. The personnel of the imperial court have changed drastically, not to mention the governor of Xuanda, even if he is an old cabinet minister, I don't know how much he has changed in recent years. No one knew that the superintendent would work for a few days in office, and if it was not good, as soon as the order came down, his old man would hand over the military power, and he would make a six-part book or something. At that time, the Xiongjun army will only be afraid to choose a new commander. Of course, our Wang Yuncheng is a rough man, and he only recognizes Inspector Lu in his eyes. After entering Beijing, he was appointed and rewarded by the emperor, and as soon as his grade went up, he became our commander, which was a logical thing. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yuncheng was about to speak dryly, picked up a bowl of wine, drank it with a sigh, stretched out his greasy sleeve and wiped his mouth, and continued: "Sun Yuan has military exploits in his hands, and he can speak well, maybe he will fall into the will of the Son of Heaven, and it is not easy to be the commander of our wait." （）”

A travelogue general said with a smile: "Although Sun Taichu can be frivolous and unstable, but he can fight, if he comes to lead the Tianxiong army, in my opinion, it is also a good thing." In the future, we will not worry about having no credit to be gained. ”

The others nodded at the same time: "Yes, that's right." "In the first battle of Chuzhou, the performance of the Ningxiang Army shocked everyone. They are all men who work the battlefield, they know heroes and value heroes, and they also admire Sun Yuan to the point of throwing themselves to the ground.

Wang Yuncheng laughed, stretched out his finger and nodded at everyone: "I said brothers, you know a fart." The Inspector asked Sun Yuan to help train my Tianxiong Army this time, which was to facilitate him to install his own men in the army. Once the son of heaven and a courtier, when the time comes, Sun Yuanyi will be our commander, and all the officers will be replaced by their own people, how can we deal with ourselves and be a light pole? We have worked hard for so many years, and we have finally accumulated these belongings, is it possible that we will give them to Sun Yuan, an outsider, with both hands, and go back to the countryside to retire? You are willing, but my old king will not do it. ”

This speech made everyone look at each other, but they couldn't make a sound.

The structure of the Tianxiong army is very strange, such as Wang Yuncheng, a high-ranking general may not be Lu Xiangsheng's disciple, each has its own origin. But the middle-level and low-level officers, the entire skeleton of the unit is Hebei people, and they are all sticky relatives, either father and son or brothers. The ordinary soldiers, most of whom were from Huguang, were the homeless villagers recruited by local officials in the early years of Chongzhen to resist the peasant army, and when Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of the military affairs of the five southern provinces, he included them in the Tianxiong army system by the way.

Strictly speaking, the Tianxiong Army is a bit like the Hunan Army of Zeng Guofan and the Huai Army of Li Hongzhang in later generations.

Up to now, after years of conquest, the Tianxiong Army has formed a huge interest group, which is extremely xenophobic

。

Now I heard Wang Yuncheng say that if Sun Yuan is the commander of the Tianxiong Army, it is very likely that he will perform an earth-shaking major operation on the Tianxiong Army. It would naturally be good if Sun Yuan could train the Tianxiong Army into a strong army like the Ningxiang Army, but if everyone lost their military power because of this, they were marginalized, or even eliminated from the army, it would not work.

The atmosphere in the tent became dull, and after a while, an officer snorted angrily: "Although Sun Yuan can fight and lead troops, he has been starting from the stove, why should he come to seize our military power." ”

"Yes." Someone chimed in.

"Also, the belongings of our Tianxiong Army are all accumulated by my hard work over the years. No matter how great his Sun Yuan's merits are, it's not all good! He wanted to be the commander of the Tianxiong Army, but Lao Tzu was the first to refuse. ”

"Yes, no." Everyone stood up one after another and shouted: "We have shed blood and sweat for the superintendent all these years, Lord Lu has done this, I can't wait!" ”

"Yes, I don't accept it."

"General Wang, you did a good job, but you can't let that Sun Yuan train the army. Otherwise, will there be a place for us to live in this heavenly army in the future? ”

"Not only the Sichuan army, but also our Shi Yan soldiers don't welcome him Sun Yuan."

"We Mao Bing, don't even think about touching Sun Yuan!"

"We soldiers don't know Sun Yuan!"

……

At this time, the generals of the other troops who accompanied Wang Yuncheng into Beijing expressed their positions one after another.

However, there was still an officer who had concerns: "Wang Yuncheng, you took Sun Yuan away this time, this unit has not been trained, and the supervisor must not explain." Besides, the Ningxiang army is so capable of fighting, it would be nice if our army could also be strong like that. ”

Speaking of which, this man looked sorry.

"yes, yes!" Everyone sighed.

Wang Yuncheng sneered: "If you want to train a strong soldier like the Ningxiang Army, what is the difficulty." Without his grandson butcher, he still eats hairy pigs? Are we stupid, he Sun Yuan can train a strong army, can't we? ”

"General Wang, what do you mean by that?"

Wang Yuncheng: "Actually, after the Chuzhou War, I also heard Mr. Huang Youhuang say

。 Mr. Huang said: In fact, it is not difficult to train a unit like the Ningxiang Army. ”

"How is this possible?" Someone asked again.

Wang Yuncheng: "Mr. Huang said that the tactics of the Ningxiang Army are actually simple, nothing more than spearmen forming a large formation and resisting the enemy's attacks with spears. Place musketeers in a phalanx of spears and suppress the disrupted enemy forces with musket fire. We can draw a long spearman according to the gourd drawing, and as for the musket, we don't have to spend that spirit. Musketeers are not easy to train, and they cost money, so they can be replaced by crossbowmen. Our Tianxiong Army has the best bow and crossbow in the world, and its range and lethality are much stronger than the half-tone musketeers that Sun Yuan has at hand. Therefore, it is not difficult to train a unit like the Ningxiang Army. Actually, the Ningxiang Army is nothing remarkable. It's nothing more than a novelty in the tactics, Cheng Bites Jin's three-plate axe. Speaking of the non-commissioned officers in the army, they don't seem to be very successful, and they are as thin as monkeys. ”

"Is this really okay?"

Wang Yuncheng scolded: "Could it be that you don't believe what Mr. Huang said?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Huang's words, we naturally believe it!" Everyone laughed.

Huang You was originally a man, and he was also Lu Xiangsheng's chief staff. In the Tianxiong Army, Lu Xiangsheng, the commander, is from a commanding position, and he doesn't care about daily chores, and everything in the army falls on Mr. Huang's head.

Over the years, Huang You has done the affairs at hand very conscientiously, and it can be said that he is a role similar to the big butler in the Tianxiong Army, and his prestige in the eyes of the soldiers is extremely high. Moreover, he was originally a real celebrity, and many of the middle and lower-level officers in the army were inextricably linked to him.

What he said, everyone naturally believed.

Some people praised: "Mr. Huang is really good, and he can see the reality of the Ningxiang Army at once." In that case, let's just do it. ”

Next, Wang Yuncheng was not in a hurry to go north, and the villain's subordinates bought ash poles everywhere and began to form a spear unit. In this way, the march of the great army is slower.

This time he entered Beijing to offer prisoners, Wang Yun became the lord, and Sun Yuan was the deputy.

Wang Yuncheng slowly soared, and Sun Yuan was also helpless.
