Hong Chengchou changed his previous decision.

The reason for changing the decision was, on the one hand, in his own considerations, and on the other hand, it was also the request of many soldiers, especially Ma Xianglin, who led the white pole soldiers, and even wrote a blood letter on the spot.

The original plan was that He Renlong led 10,000 vanguard troops to arrive at the capital of Kuizhou as quickly as possible, and Hong Chengchou led the rest of the soldiers to arrive later, and the distance between the two armies was no more than fifty miles.

The soldiers led by Hong Chengchou are a total of 65,000 people, except for the 10,000 white pole soldiers, the rest are the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, these soldiers are all experienced in a hundred battles, and have fought fierce battles in the desert and grassland, the quality is needless to say, relatively speaking, the combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers is slightly weaker, so according to Hong Chengchou's plan, 10,000 vanguard troops are the first to put into battle, and the remaining 40,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, the second echelon, follow closely to fight, as for the 15,000 white pole soldiers, Arranged at the end of the day.

This arrangement is also in line with the actual situation, the equipment of the white pole soldiers is poor, the war horses are in short supply, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are different, after the supplement of the mutual market, basically one war horse per person, and the speed of marching is much faster, although the terrain of Sichuan is complicated, and the mountains are the majority, but the speed of the war horse still far exceeds the speed of walking.

It is precisely because of this arrangement that Ma Xianglin quit.

The white pole soldiers suffered a fiasco, almost wiped out the whole army, and had a bitter hatred for the Liukou, according to the habits of the Tujia family, they encountered such a deep hatred, they must take revenge in person, and the soul of the deceased clansmen can be at peace, so Ma Xianglin has long thought about it. After the encirclement and suppression of the rogue began, the white pole soldiers had to participate in every battle. Of course, Ma Xianglin also knows that the combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers cannot be compared with the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion, regardless of their personal combat ability. There is still a certain gap in comprehensive quality.

After the reorganization of the white pole soldiers, Ma Xianglin led the sergeants into the Jiangning battalion, and everything was trained according to the requirements of the Jiangning battalion, and there were many stories during this period.

The bravery of the white pole soldiers has a certain reputation in the imperial court, especially in the battle against Houjin, which played a majestic role, but because of the problem of customs and habits. There are also some problems with the white pole soldiers, and the key is that there are defects in obeying commands, or in terms of military appearance and military discipline, which is a fatal flaw.

Military appearance and military discipline is a very important embodiment of the military soul, whether an army can be invincible in the world, the key lies in the military spirit, and the casual style can quickly destroy an army. Such an army, when it is in danger. Everyone can be united, and if they stay in a peaceful environment for a long time, the end will be scattered.

The reason why the white pole soldiers have never dispersed is because their living environment is difficult, and many times, life is difficult to maintain. did not enter the relatively superior environment, everyone has a sense of crisis, so they can be maintained, if there is such a treatment as the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, I am afraid that there will be problems a long time ago.

So. After entering the Jiangning battalion, Hong Chengchou was personally responsible for training the white pole soldiers, and Su Tiancheng's thoughts were well known to him, and the white pole soldiers would be part of the Jiangning battalion sooner or later.

In the early stage of training, military discipline was emphasized, and once violated, the officer who led the team followed the punishment, and the sergeant who violated it received ten military sticks, and the second violation, all the members of the sergeant's squad were punished, and the sergeant who violated it received twenty military sticks, and the rest of the sergeants each received ten military sticks, as for the responsible squad leader, the squad leader was removed from his position, and the third violation, the violating sergeant was directly beheaded, and all the sergeants in the squad received ten military sticks each.

This system has been strictly enforced.

Accustomed to the loose white pole soldiers, at the beginning of the disappointment, everyone was beaten with military sticks, but also hip-hop and laughing, only later, the law enforcement battalion strictly enforced the law, and killed more than ten white pole soldiers at one time, everyone knew what military law is.

It was from this time that the white pole soldiers began to change.

Ma Xianglin's thoughts, there is also a process of transformation, the white pole soldier has such an understanding, and his thinking has a direct relationship, although knowledgeable, but Ma Xianglin has always believed that leading the soldiers to fight is to love the sergeant, to understand the difficulties of the sergeant, to win the battle, to enjoy it is a matter of course, everyone is to pin their heads on the waist of their trousers, maybe one day will die, the pleasure is to enjoy, not to mention the white pole soldier has always been very hard.

Hong Chengchou did not spare any mercy, when he killed more than ten white pole soldiers, Ma Xianglin, who was the commander-in-chief, also received the ten army sticks, and they were executed on the spot, and it was these ten army sticks that woke up Ma Xianglin and made him really understand where the gap between the white pole soldiers and the Jiangning battalion was.

The rest of the white pole soldiers, needless to say, tens of thousands of people watched their commander being pressed to the ground, the military stick was beaten on the buttocks, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the beheaded heads were placed on the table, looking so hideous, they began to vaguely understand what is the military soul and what is military discipline.

Being able to endure hardships is the biggest advantage of the white pole soldiers, and it is also a huge advantage of the Tujia family, living in a difficult environment from above, and taking hardships for granted, so Hong Chengchou's training, the progress is still very fast, but the white pole soldiers have been living in the mountains for a long time, and they still need to be further familiar with the skills of field warfare in the plains and grasslands and deserts.

After a few months of training, Ma Xianglin felt the changes in the white pole soldiers, and in his heart, he completely recognized the Jiangning battalion, and even thought that he was a part of the Jiangning battalion, in fact, Su Tiancheng once asked, if the rogue was exterminated, whether the white pole soldiers wanted to go to the Liaodong battlefield to continue their glory, Ma Xianglin of course agreed.

What is the identity of the Jiangning battalion, the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty, wherever it goes, people dare not underestimate it, although the white pole soldiers are brave, but after all, they are the army of ethnic minorities, the army of Tusi, in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the imperial court, is inferior, once the white pole soldiers enter the Jiangning battalion, the identity has changed completely, and the Ming Dynasty dares to underestimate it.

As for the idea of pulling the mountain and maintaining his own strength, Ma Xianglin does not have it at all, in this regard, he has read a lot of books, but it still helps him, and he does not have the narrow idea of preserving his own strength.

After Hong Chengchou made specific arrangements, Ma Xianglin was the first to jump out and object.

He Renlong led the leading troops, he had no opinion, but of the 15,000 white pole soldiers, at least 10,000 people should join the vanguard troops, and they themselves followed, and they were all under the command of He Renlong.

After Ma Xianglin raised his objections, some commanders of the Jiangning battalion also began to put forward different views.

Xiong Zijian's speech was very crucial, he pointed out that Li Zicheng led 90,000 Liukou and made up his mind to attack the capital city of Kuizhou, which is the practice of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, leaving no way back, and also knowing that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion will definitely be reinforced, in this case, the number of the vanguard is too small, and it may not play a role in determining the future, 50,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers and 15,000 white pole soldiers, the vanguard force will reach at least 35,000 people, so that it can form a momentum and give a heavy blow to the Liukou, just like five fingers, A slap in the face and a fist in the face will definitely have a different effect.

After thinking about it for a while, Hong Chengchou accepted everyone's suggestion.

He made adjustments, the vanguard is still in charge of He Renlong, he followed the vanguard action, the Jiangning battalion 30,000 soldiers formed the vanguard, Ma Xianglin led 5,000 white pole soldiers, also followed the vanguard action, the total number of the vanguard reached 35,000 people, the remaining 30,000 people as the second echelon, Xiong Zijian was in charge of the command, the distance between the two armies, can not exceed 100 miles, the vanguard must arrive at Kuizhou before noon on August 11, Xiong Zijian led 30,000 soldiers, It is necessary to arrive at the capital city of Kuizhou before August 11.

The army quickly began to move.

Considering that the Liukou may be in a place not far from the capital of Kuizhou, ambush the sergeants, Hong Chengchou specially made a special emphasis, ignoring the small group of Liukou, no matter what kind of situation he sees, he must move in the direction of the capital city of Kuizhou, do not care about the casualties of the soldiers along the way, if there are soldiers who are left behind, find a way to return to the capital city of Kuizhou, the team will continue to move forward, and will not take care of the outdated soldiers, which seems to be somewhat contrary to the requirements of not abandoning and not giving up, but Hong Chengchou's explanation is very clear, there is His Royal Highness the Prince in the capital city of Kuizhou, Lord Su Tiancheng, and there are 12,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, which is more important, there is no need to explain at all.

The speed of the sergeant's march was amazing, and everyone didn't even care about the physical strength of the horses.

Su Tiancheng is the soul of Jiangning Battalion, deep in the hearts of the soldiers, Su Tiancheng is the Jiangning Battalion, and the Jiangning Battalion is Su Tiancheng, if Su Tiancheng has any accidents, the soldiers have the feeling that they can't live, as for His Royal Highness the Prince, in the minds of many soldiers, the status is slightly inferior.

Looking at the rushing soldiers, Hong Chengchou's face was slightly better, and he knew that Su Tiancheng and the others, who were in the Kuizhou Mansion City, must be fighting hard, facing the 90,000 Liukou, the Jiangning Battalion soldiers in the Kuizhou Mansion City, were facing tremendous pressure, and the faster their speed, the more they could reduce the casualties of the Jiangning Battalion soldiers.

As for the consequences of the Liukou attacking the Kuizhou Capital City, Hong Chengchou did not think about it, he believed that Li Zicheng could not do it, and he did not have to think about breaking the Kuizhou Capital City at all, even if the number of Liukou was doubled, there should be no such delusion.
