Chapter 450: Victory in the First Battle (1)

Of course, Su Tiancheng would not be so arrogant, and he said big things by himself, mainly to appease Zhu Youzhen, lest Zhu Youzhen be anxious and mess up, according to his temper, he never said it voluntarily. If it was because of these words, the emperor gave him the sword of Shang Fang, it would be too wronged, and he didn't expect to have so much power.

Of course, everyone understands that the reason why the emperor gave Su Tiancheng Shangfang the sword was because of the performance of the Jiangning battalion, two thousand miles, but it took four days to arrive, such a performance was shocking, besides, the previous merits of the Jiangning camp were very much, and they were by no means blown out, as far as the current situation is concerned, only the Jiangning camp is qualified to compete directly with the Houjin Tartars.

Su Tiancheng was very conscious, took Shang Fang's sword, left the Heart Cultivation Palace, and came directly to the military department.

Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang are both in the military department.

"Lord Wen, Lord Yang, Xia Guan has something to say, I didn't say it before, but now I want to talk about it."

Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang did not speak, and nodded at the same time.

"The emperor gave the minister the sword, which is the trust and spur of the minister. Xia Guan thought, at this very moment, some things, Xia Guan still has to rely on Shang Fang's sword, the fighter is changing rapidly, if you can't be arbitrary, it may delay a lot of things, Xia Guan has two requirements, the first is the Datong border army led by Liang Tingdong, obey the unified command of Xia Guan, if anyone dares to disobey, Shang Fang Sword waits, the second is to send Liaodong Governor Lu Xiangsheng, to Xia Guan's side, to assist Xia Guan to fight against the Houjin Tartars, as for the Beijing camp, Xia Guan is never afraid to dispatch, the status of the capital is too important, The sergeants in the capital, the subordinate officers do not transfer a soldier and a pawn, their duties. It is still to protect the capital. ”

Wen Tiren looked at Yang Sichang and slowly spoke.

"Master Su, your request is reasonable, there is no problem, the Datong border army came to the capital, originally to fight against the Houjin Tartars. It is also their duty to be able to cooperate with the actions of the Jiangning battalion, as for Lord Liang, this official specially went to say that according to the opinion of this official, Lord Liang still stays in the capital and thinks about things carefully, Lord Yang, what do you think. ”

"Your Excellency. Xia Guan thinks that Lord Su's proposal is good, but this matter of annihilating the 20,000 Golden Tartars is not a bit hanging. ”

Yang Sichang is kind-hearted, Su Tiancheng boasted in front of the emperor, he couldn't complete the task at that time, he had to find a way to sew up this loophole, and find a way to do it later. It's better to prepare in advance.

Wen Tiren nodded slightly, thinking that what Yang Sichang said made sense.

Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng spoke quickly.

"Since the lower official said that the golden tartars were exterminated after 20,000. It must be done, how to face the battle, the lower official has an idea in his heart, but he needs to make adjustments at any time according to the changes in the current situation, please forgive the lower official for not being able to report in detail. ”

This time. Wen Tiren stood up.

He knew that Su Tiancheng would not casually open his mouth to promise, in the past few years, Su Tiancheng has done too many earth-shattering things, but he has always been very low-key. I have never preached that I am full of confidence for what is going on this time, and I am full of confidence for what I will say.

"Master Su, there is no joke in the army, do you have any special considerations, just say it."

"Morale can not be vented, Houjin Tartar deep into my Ming realm, burning, killing and looting, angry and resentful, if you can't teach them a hard lesson, there will be more and more troubles in the future, the lower officials think, Shaanxi's rogue has not been completely wiped out, at this moment, no matter what, let Houjin feel, don't despise my Ming soldiers, can't enter my Ming territory at will, if you enter my Ming territory at will, you have to pay a heavy price, this battle, hurt Houjin, they will be really afraid, otherwise, Our Ming Dynasty is facing a two-front combat situation, which is very unfavorable. ”

Wen Tiren nodded frequently, and after Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he immediately spoke.

"Okay, Lord Su has such determination, this official and Lord Yang are waiting for your good news, the Datong border army brought by Lord Liang, a total of 30,000 people, all of them are at your disposal, the emperor has given you the sword of Shang Fang, how to fight, how to deploy, you can be arbitrary, what supplies the Jiangning battalion needs, just say it."

At this time, Su Tiancheng would not be polite and spoke without hesitation.

"Xia Guan needs five thousand war horses, and the rest can be solved by themselves."

This requirement is not low, five thousand war horses, equivalent to nearly 300,000 taels of silver, but at a very moment, Su Tiancheng put forward such a request, it is really nothing, if he can annihilate 20,000 Tartars, it is not only a reward for this.

Wen Tiren nodded.

"Okay, then please ask Lord Yang to implement it immediately, five thousand war horses, within tomorrow, all in place."

Lu Xiangsheng, who was still in Changping Mansion, received the holy decree of the imperial court, he was very surprised, he never imagined that he would be directly transferred to the Jiangning camp, after fighting against the Jin Tartars, the holy decree and the edict of the military department did not explain the reason, that is, he was required to quickly rush to the Beijing camp located in the suburbs of Beijing, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army, all waiting here.

As soon as it was dark, Lu Xiangsheng rushed to the Beijing camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

The sergeants of the Beijing camp in Beijing have all been transferred to the capital and are responsible for guarding the Beijing division, and the 100,000 Tartars of Houjin led by Azig are still active in the Gyeonggi area, and at this time, the soldiers of the Beijing camp will not be withdrawn, so the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army that rushed to the capital are naturally stationed here.

Entering the camp, Lu Xiangsheng found a strange scene, on the left side of the camp, quietly, you can see sergeants walking back and forth, but no one speaks, the sergeants are wearing robes and armor, they are very neat, on the right side of the camp, there is a lot of commotion, many sergeants are moving around at will, still talking in their mouths, and even scolding.

There is a big difference between the sergeants on the left and right.

Needless to say, those stationed on the left must be the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, and the border troops from Datong on the right.

Outside the tent of the Chinese army, there were quite a few officers standing.

Under the leadership of the sergeant, Lu Xiangsheng went straight into the Chinese military tent.

In the Chinese military tent, there are not many people, and there is a young man sitting in the center, Lu Xiangsheng knows, this person is the prefect of Henan Prefecture and the commander of the Jiangning battalion, Su Tiancheng. On both sides, there were some officers sitting with very serious expressions, among which Sun Chuanting and others, Lu Xiangsheng was familiar.

In front of Su Tiancheng, there was a sand table, which was very large and had a number of flags planted on it.

"Master Lu is here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Master Su, Lu has been ordered to report for duty."

The prestige of Jiang Ningying and Su Tiancheng, Lu Xiangsheng knows the Tao, but he has heard about it before, and this time he can really see Jiang Ningying, and he has to see it in person before he believes it.

"Lord Lu, the army will be ready to be mobilized tomorrow, the military situation is urgent, I won't be verbose, and the corresponding procedures have been simplified, your main task is to lead the 30,000 Datong border troops to cooperate with the actions of the Jiangning battalion."

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.

This action, of course, can't escape Su Tiancheng's eyes.

It seems that people with ability are a little arrogant, there is nothing strange about this, people with ability to be low-key are rare after all, and in the face of people like Lu Xiangsheng, they can only speak with the results.

"Lord Lu, your task is not light, Lord Liang Tingdong, the governor of Datong, led 30,000 soldiers to rush to the capital day and night, arrived yesterday, but Lord Liang was unwell and cultivated in the capital, so these 30,000 soldiers are under your direct command, I don't need to introduce the situation of the Tartars, you know very well that I have made a military order in front of the emperor, this time I will exterminate 20,000 Tartars, so that Houjin will not dare to underestimate my Daming, and dare not enter the territory of my Daming at will."

This time, it was Lu Xiangsheng's turn to open his mouth and annihilate 20,000 Tartars, this is not a joke, even if the Jiangning battalion is brave and good at fighting, but the Houjin Tartars are not fuel-efficient lamps, who doesn't know the way, so many years have passed, every time the Houjin Tartars enter the pass, they are showing off their might, the border army and the guard sergeants are helpless, they can only stick to important cities, as for some states and counties, they are powerless to protect, and let the Tartars break through and plunder.

Su Tiancheng's expression became serious.

"Lord Lu, I know that you are brave and good at fighting, so I implore the emperor, please join us in the battle to exterminate the Tartars, if you feel inconvenient, or if you are suspicious of the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army, you can say it, I will not be reluctant, once you accept the task, there is no joke in the army, at this critical moment, you can not have the slightest hesitation, if you make the decision without authorization, do not obey the dispatch, resulting in a change in the battle situation, I will not be spared."

"First the villain and then the gentleman, according to the rules, I first have to inform Lord Lu that the emperor gave me the sword of Shangfang, in order to unify the military order, I admire the demeanor of Lord Lu, and I don't want to make trouble with each other for some trivial things."

Lu Tianming finally reacted.

"Lord Su, your subordinates are at your disposal."

"Okay, my request is very simple, but it is also difficult to do, the Datong border army rushed to the capital yesterday, I paid attention to it, their discipline is a little relaxed, the sergeant does not have much confidence, to put it bluntly, is afraid of the Houjin Tartars, there is pessimism among the sergeants, such a state, how can they fight the Houjin Tartars."

"Your task, in the next time, lead 30,000 Datong border troops, according to the steps discussed by us, complete the corresponding tasks, on the battlefield, what is needed is blood, and escaping from the battle is a taboo, which seriously affects the morale of the army."

"Since the Datong border army is involved in the middle of the battle, I will not take special care of it, the task they undertake will not be much easier than the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, I hope they will show their blood in the next battle."

"Master Lu, I believe that you will be able to do it." (To be continued......)
