Chapter 169: Obviously it is a rotation, but it is actually a check and balance

But he said that the court was too far away, and even if he reacted for a while, he didn't know about Shanxi Town, which was thousands of miles away, so the days continued as usual. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Even the officialdom is like this, not to mention Li Jing, who can't receive the slightest rumor, he is thinking about how to make a fuss about the battle of Yangqu at the moment, these days the imperial court reinforcements from all walks of life have come sporadically, he has broken through the main force with superior forces, and has defeated the four or five soldiers and horses of the imperial court who came to aid in the southwest of Yangqu.

In the sporadic engagement, he was asked to see the reality of the officers and soldiers of Shanxi Town in the imperial court, and the soldiers and horses who came to help each way were only five or six hundred at most, and only one or two hundred at least. Is there no soldier in the imperial court?

"Lord, we have besieged the city for four or five days today, although the siege is besieged, attacked from all sides, but after all, Yangqu has a thick wall, and the elite soldiers who broke into the city before and played the banner of Youzi are even more brave, and our department has hit the east gate several times, and they have called it to fight back, and it can't stand, but it has killed and injured hundreds of brothers, so if it goes on, I'm afraid it's not a way?!"

Tan Wu was not as thoughtful as Li Jing at the moment, he saw that Zhao Mosheng and Zheng Renbao were in charge of the army, although they were also listed as brigade commanders by Li Jing, and were added to the post of deputy general, but in the end, the word "leader" was actually listed in the same column as Li Mao's status in the army, which made him hold his breath in his heart, and he wanted to get some credit, and sooner or later he would raise his eyebrows in the army, and he couldn't let people look down on him.

But in any case, he was the commander of Li Jing's personal guard battalion, although he divided the troops into a partial department, and finally commanded one side, but he had no choice but to have few major generals, and the place where he led the attack was also a barren land, there was not much oil and water, and even the peasants who were bitter were relatively few.

In terms of the strength of the elite soldiers and horses under his command, he is not even comparable to Li Mao in the five brigades, let alone the other three, so he must personally go into battle every time to boost morale, but the soldiers under his command are not strong enough, although they attacked the city wall three times, but they were all recoiled down by the officers and soldiers, and more than 100 soldiers were lost in vain, but they did not make an inch.

Since he led the army to Yangqu, he used the military camp as a temporary office place, and the conscription and salary of the soldiers in various places were all issued by the Yangqu camp.

"This matter is not urgent, Yangqu is the capital of the Shanxi Political Envoy Division, and it is guarded by elite soldiers and strong generals, if the siege is very urgent, even if it is barely defeated, it will be a heavy casualty, our brothers, it is not easy to come by, and the future is great, why bother to consume it here?"

These days, I continue to learn traditional Chinese, and I can finally read the official documents, but after reading them one by one, I still can't help but feel dizzy, and my eyes are sore and unbearable, but I can't slack him when I'm busy, so I got up and got down, smiled, and sat on the chair next to him, "What?" Anxious? ”

Tan Wu is very arrogant, and he is closest to Li Jing on weekdays, "Why not?" Just mention Brother Zhao and Brother Zheng, which of them is not a small number of soldiers and horses, but my family only has 2,000 scattered people, and if there is no credit, he will inevitably be panicked when they meet in the future. ”

He also said, "That is, the lord, you are cool, this time the army is expanded, and I am retained as the brigade commander of the fourth brigade, my old Tan has not even mixed up with the general flag on the official dog side, and this year, I can still be the brigade commander, it is really like a dream." ”

Li Jing smiled when he heard this, and slapped his outstretched hands that were waving because of excitement, "How can Brother Tan say such things, but as long as there is a day when my Li Jing soars, I will let all the brothers enjoy happiness together, and Brother Tan has the status he has now, all of which were defeated in the army with a knife and a gun from your own family, why not get a brigade commander?" ”

"Hehe," Tan Wu heard this, and immediately used, he has always been worried about his own position and being ridiculed, after all, after he raised the army, he had the lowest credit among the five brigade commanders, and at this moment he heard Li Jing's praise, he immediately felt at ease, but like this, he didn't forget his own business, "Lord, this official dog seems to be crazy, three hundred today, five hundred tomorrow, each to challenge, Yang Qu is not broken, I am afraid that sooner or later the official dog will make enough people, if there is three or five thousand, we will not be able to stop it." ”

"I'm afraid that he will do much, the officers and soldiers can now gather so many men and horses to come to reinforcements, it has long been my expectation, but this is also its limit, among the captured officers and soldiers, there are a few surrenders, tell us that there are not many soldiers in the south now, most of them are military household soldiers, you don't know this military household soldiers? Even if 10,000 or 20,000 come up, it will just send us troops. ”

Li Jing said, couldn't help chuckling, the situation of the official army, now is much more uncomfortable than his own home, these days, although his own sporadic and the official army continue to engage in battle, but also did not fall with Zhang Zongheng, who is suppressing the Liukou in the area of Linfen Pingyang, looking at the words on his letters, is more and more cautious, seems to be very afraid of his own family at all costs to break through Yangqu, only mention that if the siege is withdrawn, everything can be discussed.

But these, you can't deceive your own family, Zhang Zongheng's personality, I don't know, but what officials have said in the past is generally a fart, and they will not admit it afterwards, now is the time when the situation is out of control, and the life-saving straw is naturally obedient, but when it comes to relieving itself, maybe he will turn his face and not recognize people, but having said that, Li Jing still shirked with him, so as to see the truth from the letter.

Seeing that the more cautious he is in his words, it means that the official army has reached the point where there are no soldiers to adjust, and now in the southwest of the mountain, the Liukou is huge, and today he will capture a town, and tomorrow he will besiege a county, which greatly involves the limited strength of the official army, and its mobile field soldiers and horses are even more to rescue and rescue, and they must not be transferred for a moment, otherwise they will lose a few more cities, I am afraid that they will not be able to use their own homes to continue to attack the city, and Shanxi will be called guilty.

As he was talking, outside the military tent, the voice of the guard suddenly sounded, "Lord, Vice General Zhao and Vice General Zheng ask to meet." ”

"Please." When Li Jing heard this, he quickly got up, and saw Zhao Zheng and the others coming in in full armor, saluted first, and after sitting down, he saw Tan Wu there, and after a long time of reminiscing, Zheng Renbao spoke, "My lord, the two under my command were ordered to transfer westward, and the troops were tense for a while. ”

What Zheng Renbao said was that Li Jing ordered in front of him that all armies would take advantage of the emptiness of the officers and troops to rotate to enhance their combat strength, and planned to transfer the elite soldiers and horses of the various departments on the front line, and call back to occupy the city and garrison to prevent the elite of Shaanxi from advancing eastward, and then at the fastest speed, order the garrison battalions in Shenchi, Wuzhai, Baode and other places to each be transferred two of them to be personally led by the leading staff general of the garrison office, and to go south day and night to join their own families.

Because there was sufficient food and salary to ensure morale, this order was perfectly executed, and the eight garrison battalions in various places came one after another with the main forces of each department, and Li Jing and Zhao Mosheng and Zheng Renbao each transferred two mixed main forces, and each transferred one main force from his own guards and Li Mao's command, and then reorganized two well-equipped capitals to take over the garrison tasks of these prefectures and counties.

In this way, the old and the new alternated, the local garrison force has been strengthened, this group of soldiers who have seen blood, have been on the battlefield, and there are generals who have made meritorious contributions to be promoted, which is enough to ensure local tranquility, relying on the city, even if the elite of Shaanxi on the three sides invade the border, they can resist one or two, and buy time for the main force to return to help.

The total strength of the army gathered under the city of Yangqu has not decreased, and the previous several times to defeat the official army have now completely eliminated the idea that the soldiers and horses in the city should be united with the outside, and the officers and soldiers have blocked all the city gates on all sides with bricks and stones, and they are not afraid to go out of the city to challenge.

On the one hand, he still has a large army to besiege him, and on the other hand, he uses new soldiers to see blood in battle, and he drills in battle, so repeatedly, and he has an elite army, he has tens of thousands of elites in his hands every day, as long as the money keeps up with the money and ensures logistics loyalty, then what is the court afraid of? !

But after all, this is the general direction, the implementation of the difficulty, at least some of the leading generals below can not accept it for a while, besides, the eight garrison battalions that come to the aid are more than 3,200 people, how to distribute, it is also a difficult problem, after all, Zhao Zheng and the two have the most soldiers and horses under their command, even if they are transferred part, they are still overnumbered.

Taking Zhao Mosheng as an example, his department originally had more than 7,000 soldiers and horses, except for those who guarded Wutai and Dingxiang, there were still more than 6,000 people, and there were hundreds of casualties in previous battles, and Li Jing transferred two of them to 800 people, but there were still more than 5,000 people.

But you can't talk about it like that, after all, whoever doesn't want to have more soldiers and horses under their command, the better, not to mention that the people who are transferred away are all elite backbones, and this time they came over to fight for some new recruits for their own family.

But Li Jing had already anticipated the arrangements of the various ministries, and when he heard this, he simply wanted to reverse the two of them's thoughts, so he said, "We are no longer the rioters of the past. If it is a plate of loose sand, each of them only cares about his own family, then he will be strong and weak. ”

I was afraid that the two of them would be dissatisfied, so I accused Tan Wu, who was a little black-faced when he heard the words at the moment, and said, "Our brothers, don't lie, look at Brother Tan, there are only about 2,000 people under his command, and the shortage of the department is very large, if you supplement with the two of you, how will Brother Tan deal with himself?!" ”

Hearing him mention this, Zheng Renbao was suddenly embarrassed to speak again, after all, Tan Wu is also a brigade, and now the soldiers are not yet perfect, and his own family has long been exceeded, and the relationship between several people is okay on weekdays, where is he embarrassed to fight with him at this moment, let alone Zhao Mosheng, he and Tan Wu have been dependent on each other for several years of life and death, and they have a lifelong friendship, so he suddenly lost all the careful thoughts in his heart.

However, when he saw Tan Wu, who was sitting on the chair with a dull face and sulking, he smiled knowingly, leaned up and said with a smile, "Yo, Brother Tan, this little daughter-in-law is wronged, isn't it looking for the Lord to complain?" Ha ha! ”

It's right to think about it, my family and others are fighting smoothly, and it is easy to recruit young and strong farmers, and Tan Wu has been following the lord's side, there is nowhere to go, and the time to lead the troops alone is still short, otherwise according to his merits, it is more than enough to be a real deputy general, where do you dare to fight with him now.

In this way, seeing that the two of them were convinced, it didn't seem to be a fake, so Li Jing threw out the draft that he had planned for a long time, "In the garrison battalions from all over the country that came to the aid this time, all the acting staff generals were filled into the main barracks as deputy generals, and they also served as the captains of the first capital of the main barracks, and the captains of the garrison battalions under his command were the deputy captains and team leaders of the first capital of the main barracks, and they were completely integrated into the main barracks.

In addition, the main force of the eight garrison battalions, half of which was 1,600 people, was assigned to Tan Wu, and he was called to gather 3,500 men and horses to organize and train three small battalions first, and then make new contributions in the future, and make up for it. And the remaining four garrison battalions and the first part of Li Mao's command have separately organized a super-formed battalion with 2,000 people, which I personally temporarily command, and when he is in the future, he will be led by meritorious people, do you have any objections?! ”

After speaking, he looked at the brothers, and saw that the three of them had no objections, after all, Tan Wu did not mention the benefits, so he naturally would not complain, and Zhao Mosheng and Zheng Renbao saw that Li Jing was still shooting at Li Mao's army, a member of his family, and set aside a part to form a separate battalion head, so naturally they would not refute it, even if the matter was temporarily decided.

According to the new establishment, Zheng Renbao, Zhao Mosheng, and Guo Sheng were all promoted to deputy generals, commanding a brigade of elite soldiers, each with 5,000 soldiers and horses, while Tan Wu and Li Mao were also leading a brigade, but only 3,500 soldiers and horses, while Li Jing personally led his own personal battalion and the sixth battalion of about 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus 10 garrison battalions in various places also had 6,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers were strong and strong.

If Yangqu is captured, one will be angry at the court, and may not be willing to give up, and the other will cut off his own back road, it is better to use Yangqu city as a threat to force the court to admit the status quo, canonize Li Jing as a general, guard the three passes, rely on the three passes and neighboring states and counties, feed the whole army, and sit back and watch the situation change.

According to Li Jing's knowledge, the battle of Dalinghe, the impact on the Ming court, is by no means an ordinary loss of the city, defeat is as simple as a battle, the defeat of the Ming court, the loss of the elite backbone not to mention, but also the complete loss of the initiative in the land of Liaoxi, from then on to let the East slave crisscross, until its entry into the Central Plains, the Ming court has since lost a vital strategic advantage, and turned to a comprehensive defeat.

The battle of the Daling River, the most important collateral impact, was the Wuqiao Mutiny, which caused the hinterland of Shandong, an important tax province, cholera for two whole years, mobilized five or six military towns tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and even more innumerable, erosive places, its elite firearms and horses rebellion, even worse, although it was finally pacified.

However, Kong Youde led 16,000 soldiers and civilians from the Yalu River to Dongnu, bringing vital firearms production technology to Dongnu, and since then the Ming army has not recovered the benefits of firearms, and the Dongnu has been engaged in war, which is even more constrained, defeated again and again, until Wu Sangui switches to meet the thief, and China has sunk for 300 years......
