The 31st Qinwang Army, large and small, was in the tent of the Chinese army commander, discussing how to leave Huang Taiji's 100,000 Manchu and Mongolian coalition troops under the Jingshi City.

Therefore, for this very realistic topic of Shaanxi Governor Geng Ruqi, Zhu Changhao will secretly think to himself in his heart, "To be honest, the food I brought with me when I went north to King Qin this time was not too much, mainly for people to eat." However, there are some corn, soybeans and soybeans that the horses eat, that is, if you say it yourself and use the horse food of the war horse to let other Qinwangjun eat, is it an insult to it? ”

However, if you don't say it, but boldly show that you are willing to provide food and salary to all the Qin Wang Army, but once these people know about it later, it is estimated that it will be an insult, but it will cause resentment.

Zhu Changhao pondered for a while, saw that everyone was very concerned about this issue, nodded secretly, and said, "What Lord Geng said is very realistic, for the matter of your salary, this king is here to explain what he said, and finally let the monarchs choose."

You all know that this king led more than 20,000 cavalry from Hanzhong, day and night, and it took more than half a month to finally rush to the Beijing division, but the biggest defect in the rush march is that you can't bring more heavy grain and grass, so the rations of this king's cavalry division are not too much. But horse food, too, is not a lot. ”

Zhu Changhao said this, didn't say the rest of the words, and deliberately pondered for a while, he wanted to see everyone's reaction.

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence was finished, someone behind him stood up with his eyebrows raised, glaring at each other angrily, but did not speak.

Zhu Changhao looked at the position where this person was sitting, and it was estimated that he was the one who led five or six hundred to King Qin. Looking at the powerful factions in front of them, thousands of people, nearly 10,000 total soldiers, governors and the like, they sat firmly and did not speak.

When Zhu Changhao saw this, he also understood the sentence, "The full bottle does not sound, and the half bottle shakes", which means that those low-key and powerful people generally do not babble.

The two people who stood up in the back were persuaded by the people next to them to sit down, but Zhu Changhao just ignored them, after all, they only listened to half of the people who listened to others, and when they led the troops, it would cause huge casualties. Those who lead the army must be impatient, and if you are impatient, you may send your brothers to death.

When Gu saw that many people heard that Gu said that it was horse food, they immediately glared at the king, and some even stood up and glared at the king. This king does not blame you. It's just that, as a general, you should be impatient, listen, think, at least listen to what others have to say. You are glaring at you angrily, because the horse food that this king said has insulted you. But did the king say what horse food is? ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Changhao found that some people who were glaring angrily just now lowered their heads in shame when they heard this.

"The lonely horse food is corn, soybeans, and some buckwheat. The lonely cavalry division was mostly dried meat, as well as baked cakes, as well as some dried radish, rice and other things brought by the house, and naturally, there was a lot of fatty pork. ”

Zhu Changhao said such a point, and some people here have already shouted, "It's too extravagant, the people are displaced, it turns out that human food is horse food, eggs are good things, and they are used to feed horses, which is simply not a son of man." ”

When Zhu Changhao heard everyone say this, his face was already black and blue, and it was simply a black cloud that was about to destroy the city.

Zhu Changhao, who was not talking, quietly looked at the well-dressed beasts in the crowd, the sanctimonious people, standing on the commanding heights of morality, with a mouth full of spittle stars, criticizing himself.

After about four or five breaths, a strong, fleshy-faced, sturdy man sitting in front of him stood up.

As soon as Zhu Changhao saw this person, he understood that it was the general army of Datong.

"Guys, what's the fuss? Is it surprising to feed war horses with eggs? A day of crooked, can't do, and lonely and unheard, the war horse on the battlefield, especially when you want to sprint, then you have to continue to afterburner, the faster the speed, when the short handover, it is a kind of lore, but these, the horse food must not be bad, otherwise the strength of the war horse can not keep up.

You don't see Guan Yunchang of the Three Kingdoms, because of the existence of a good horse, Chitu, it is his own force that has become a super general. If there is no red rabbit horse, it is just a first-class general.

Now, when Jiannu is so old that people can't even eat enough, they feed war horses with eggs, bean cakes, and wheat, and even when they are hungry and thirsty, let the war horses eat human blood. ”

Mangui's rebuke also made everyone understand that he was simply laughing at the generous family!

Man Gui sat down after saying this, and Zhu Changhao continued, "There is a lot of this horse food, but the rations of this king's cavalry will still be taken out to cushion the stomachs of the brothers of the Qin Wang Army, who are short of food."

In this way, now let the king's military advisor, Liaodong Xuanfu envoy Si Tongzhi Song Xiance and the world's post post patrol envoy Liu Zheng count the specific number of the Qinwang army, so that the food and salary can be distributed as a whole, of course, you had better say the amount of grain and grass they carry. ”

Just when the two were counting, Zhu Changhao said, "You are all loyal and brave men of my Ming Dynasty, now it is getting late, this king has already asked the gang to make a marching meal, I will wait while eating and chatting, and by the way, I will make a strategy for sniping Tartars this time." ”

After speaking, Zhu Changhao didn't talk nonsense, and walked out of the Chinese military tent directly and walked towards a big tent in front of the gang's room.

Inside the big tent, a bonfire with five piles of logs was burning, and it wasn't too cold inside the big tent.

A simple table and square stool have been placed.

Zhu Changhao invited everyone to eat a marching meal today, which was similar to what the cavalry division usually ate, but today's dishes were a little greasy, mostly fatty slices of meat, and steamed buns.

Although the dish looks a little rough, it tastes good, and in addition, the broth is drunk with some chili peppers.

In winter, when the weather is cold, eating some chili peppers is not only appetizing, but also can ward off the cold, in addition, chili peppers are also rich in vitamin C, which is said to improve immunity.

When everyone eats the chili pepper in their mouths, it feels a little spicy, but most of them are good men, even if the civil officials eat this thing, they are just surprised, and the broth still drinks.

Seeing that everyone had eaten a few bites, Zhu Changhao also drank two mouthfuls of soup, and said by the way, "Everyone, this king will take a look at the number of your Qinwang army, there are almost 130,000 people, if you add the 20,000 people of this king, there will be 150,000, so in this way, in terms of numbers, we are more than half of Jiannu." It's just that the Qin Wang army I am waiting for will raise his hand after fighting with the Tartars, and the king will take a look. ”

After a while, only a dozen or so people raised their hands.

Zhu Changhao looked at it and understood in his heart that it was similar to what Fu Zonglong said before. In the era of cold weapons, half of the cavalry had to be dealt with by cavalry. If there are few cavalry, then use the army formation of foot soldiers, or the formation of chariots to surround and kill. It's just that the car formation has a shortcoming, it is afraid of fire.

Now it seems that there are only three or four teams that can fight and dare to attack. Thinking of this, Zhu Changhao said sternly in a rich baritone, "Presumably, everyone also plays drums in their hearts, and those who have fought with the Tartars are probably hunted by the Tartars." Because before last month, 20,000 people were stunned and did not dare to hedge against the Tartars, and to save others with themselves. So, this time, when we fight the Tartars, we must have a reasonable scheduling plan.

This king mentions, this time, since it is the 31st Qin Wang Army sniping the Tartars, we are going to set up a steward, and this steward is called the alliance leader. I wonder what you think? ”

When everyone heard Lord Rui say this, they understood in their hearts.

So everyone started talking.

In the end, it was concluded that in terms of prestige, strength, and rations were pinched in his hands, it was concluded that the leader of the alliance this time was Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui. At the same time, there are three deputy alliance leaders, namely Datong General Soldier Mangui, Xuanfu General Soldier Hou Shilu, and Shanxi Governor Geng Ruji.

Next, it was the military advisor Song Xiance who explained the strategic layout of the sniper this time.

Without exception, the 150,000 people are divided into three echelons, the first echelon is frontal sniping, the second echelon is mobile support, and the third echelon is to carry out one-hit kills at the most critical time.

For the first echelon, the main station force is the 12,000 cavalry of King Rui, as well as strong men in Zhili, Hejian and other places, more than 100,000 people.

The second echelon is the border soldiers of Geng Ruji, the governor of Shanxi, and there are 30,000 other Qinwang troops from various places.

The third echelon is the border soldiers of Datong, the general army of Datong, the border soldiers of Hou Shilu, the general soldier of Xuanfu, and the remaining 8,000 cavalry of Ruiwangfu, with a total of 20,000 people.

After the first echelon of 100,000 people was distributed, Zhu Changhao found that many of the people in it had bad faces, because they thought that they were the first to die. In the face of death, everyone is afraid, but who has made Daming poor and weak over the years?

When Zhu Changhao saw this scene, he was worried that these people would retreat and impact his cavalry because they were afraid of death, and said, "After the distribution, everyone must know that fighting is to kill people, but military law is ruthless, on the battlefield, if there is a rout, the king will shoot them directly." In addition, we need to form a team of 5,000 overseers. If he does not obey the command, and flees at will, and does not die by the sword of the Tartars, he will also die at the hands of this king.

Sheji is stormy, behind you, is the heart of our Ming Dynasty, our thirty-one Qinwang army, may be the last force to defend the Beijing Division, if we are defeated, then we are really finished. Later, my fathers and villagers, the people of Limin, will be slaughtered by the Tartars, and they will bleed and drift away...... For the glory of the Ming Empire, we must not only be ruthless to the enemy, but also to ourselves. ”

The North China Plain in winter was so cold, Zhu Changhao distributed the food and salary he brought overnight, and also allocated a new camp according to the three echelon defense areas.

Outside the Guangqu Gate, a large bonfire illuminates the land frozen by the cold winter, and the barbed wire, iron plates, and trenches continue.

For the excavation of trenches, the cavalry division directly burned the ground with a bonfire, and the digging was much easier.

The shakuhachi-thick frozen soil was melted by the heat of the bonfire, and on the fortifications, the sound of clanging piling and digging the ground echoed in the night sky of the capital division... Reverberate.......
