Chapter 261: Do Military Household Soldiers Still Have Combat Effectiveness?
"Hong Chengchou! Hmph, that's a joke. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Li Jing took the battle report in hand and waved it with all his might, a prince of the Ming Dynasty is in his hands, this Shaanxi territory, there are still officials who can survive?
Hong Chengchou, let's see his ghost, Yang Sichang, the son of Yang He in history, is the first assistant of the dynasty, and the prime minister of several provinces to suppress bandits, but he was put in a game by He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu, let go of Zhang Xianzhong, slaughtered Xiangyang, and killed a prince, but as a result, he died in a hurry?
Although Hong Chengchou is fierce, but it is only history, he now has a king of Han at hand, there is still a king of Qin living in Xi'an City, there is a king of Su in Lanzhou City, there is a king of Qing in Ningxia Town, plus the king of Han Zhu Ganyan who is now captured alive in Pingliang Mansion, thinking that if there are three princes at hand and they will be slaughtered in one day, will it be possible to force Hong Chengchou to death?
However, the Han King at hand, Zhu Ganyan, after all, is still good to raise, and when Xi'an Mansion is broken, it is good to carry out another massacre.
"Lord, Hong Chengchou is not to be underestimated." Zhao Sheng, who lit the lamp, was now completely subdued by the power of Li Jing's begging army, and began to do errands for Li Jing wholeheartedly.
Li Jing glanced at him, "You don't know what's going on." β
Zhao Sheng was about to be persuaded to say a word, secretly thinking that Hong Chengchou, when he was involved in politics in Shaanxi, he would be able to lead troops to kill thieves, and wait for Ren Guisui to be the governor, and he created a great reputation, notoriously capricious and ruthless to thieves, and when he heard this, he was immediately surprised, "Lord, please forgive the last general." β
Li Jing smiled, "The law of the Ming Dynasty, the responsibility of defending the land, and the humiliation of the mourning teacher are not as good as the capture of the fiefdom prince, if the news of the capture of the king of Han is transmitted to the capital, I am afraid that the son of heaven sitting upright on the dragon chair will have to pull out the skin of someone Hong, and you and I will not need to do it at that time." β
"Huh?" Where did Zhao Sheng think of such a murderous plan with a knife, and he immediately bowed to it, but after a while, he asked, "Lord, why don't you hurry up and force Hong Chengchou to death, isn't it easier to attack on the three sides of Shaanxi?" β
"This time and that time." Li Jing undeniably mentioned, "At present, the Mongol Tatars outside the Guan, attacking the Great Wall day and night, are very urgent, dragging down the main forces on the three sides of Shaanxi, so that they are unable to move south to deal with us, take advantage of this time, we will first gain a firm foothold in Pingliang and Qingyang Mansion, mobilize the people to divide the land and property equally, and then send a partial division south to attack Xi'an and Hanzhong Mansion." β
"Just wait for these two places to be taken, and then we can release the news and force the imperial court to rule that Hong Chengchou committed suicide, and then the three sides will be in turmoil, let's take the opportunity to go north, annihilate the last warlike army of the imperial court, sit on the land of Qin and Jin, and look down on the Central Plains!" After Li Jing finished saying this, he got up heavily, walked back and forth a few steps, and then looked at the battle report a few more times.
It seems that he has made up his mind, so he asked a scribe to come up and record, "The fifth battalion is Chen Da, known for his military exploits, and now he has captured the prince of the puppet Ming court, and passed on my general order to promote the position of brigade leader of the sixth brigade of the infantry army, and ordered the recruitment of soldiers and horses in Pingliang Mansion, with a quota of 5,000, which can be expected to be complete." β
"Yes!" After the scribe quickly recorded it, he then held it up and showed it to Li Jing, and only withdrew when he used the seal.
It's just that Zhao Sheng, who is on the side of the view, is quite hot-eyed, but unfortunately his time for refuge is still short, and the identity of the thief makes it difficult for him to integrate into the atmosphere of the beggar army for a while, but he is just temporarily a senator under Li Mao, and everyone who sees it is vying to be the first to make meritorious contributions, and he also wants to share one or two.
may have seen his thoughts, and Li Mao valued him these days, Li Jing thought for a while, and then said, "Where is Zhao Sheng?" β
He was excited, looked at Li Jing's eyes, and immediately came out to bow down, "Zhao Sheng is here!" β
"You have also followed me for a long time, and now, when there is a vacancy in the battalions of the begging army, I will send you to be an acting battalion, the sixteenth step battalion is under the command of Chen Da, you must do it with your heart, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Thank you, Lord Longen, the last general will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up!" Zhao Sheng was immediately overjoyed, this is a real battalion leader!
Li Jing solemnly instructed, "Okay, take this general order, go to Pingliang Mansion to meet Chen Da, carefully instruct him, guard against the elite of the three sides that may go south at any time in the north, and guard Pingliang, wait for my army to capture Xi'an, and then return to the division to destroy the Ming army on the three sides." β
"The last general told Chen Lurate, telling the whole army to take their lives and never give up!" Zhao Sheng roared loudly, and then bowed down and left.
"The Emperor's capital has been completed!" Li Jing looked at his steps out, and was inexplicably happy for a while, and then turned around and gave an order to Guo Sheng, who was holding back Yulin, ordering his troops to take full authority to guard against Hequ, Yongning, and Qilan, and temporarily recruit Xiangzhuang, enough 10,500 men.
The next step is to establish the establishment of one town and two brigades, a brigade of 5,000 people, a town of 10,500 people, and the first to fifth brigades, which only need to be slightly supplemented, and can be rapidly expanded.
"Report~~" A herald dragged a long tail note, ran into the account, knelt on one knee and said hurriedly, "Report to the lord, General Tan led the troops and horses of the headquarters, captured Yan'an the day before yesterday, broke the official army of 2,000, and captured more than 10,000 thieves, but the troops at hand are not enough to take care of so many prisoners, please report to the lord and send a general to lead the army to reinforce." β
"Oh?" Li Jing has been busy with other things, but he didn't pay much attention to these, but now when he thinks about it, he is suddenly startled, the prisoners of the official army in his hands add up to 20,000 or 30,000, and the thief army has 50,000 or 60,000, this is a large group, if there is no more placement, it will be necessary to contain the limited troops at hand.
"You go down and rest for the time being," Li Jing waved his hand to let him retreat, and then called a guard to come in, "Order Zhang Erma, Ning You to come and see you." β
"My lord."
"My lord."
The personal guard brigade and the teaching brigade have been following Li Jing into the army, and when they arrived at Qingyang Mansion, the two armies also captured a lot of prisoners, and Ning You and Zhang Erma were also busy.
"How many people are on the Guards Brigade now?" Because the pro-guard brigade left a battalion to guard the base camp in Chunxian County, and on the way to Shaanxi, another battalion was scattered and stationed in various county towns, and after arriving in Qingyang Mansion, it was also scattered, and now Li Jing can't figure out how many people and horses there are around him.
Zhang Erma opened his mouth and came, "Back to the lord, the Fourth and Fifth Battalion Leaders of the Pro-Guard Brigade still have the fourth and fifth battalions by their side, and the first battalion has not been transferred away, and there are still 3,500 men and horses. β
"The first battalion cannot be easily mobilized, and must be relied upon by the whole army." Li Jing summed it up a little, and felt that he still had to leave an elite army at hand as a last resort to defend the north, and then said, "You lead the fourth and fifth battalions to the south on the same day, and take Sanshui to join Tan Wu's army under the city of Xi'an." β
"Yes!" Zhang Erma has long had the intention to lead a group of soldiers and horses to fight, and the Shaanxi territory is full of merit for him to use.
After the arrangements were made for him, Li Jing turned his head and said to Ning You, "The teaching brigade has few soldiers, and entering Shaanxi is just a partial division, you now have more than 1,000 people and horses on hand, immediately march north, occupy Anbian and other places, recruit displaced people, and form a few independent capitals first, and then I will divide the prisoners, and then arrange reinforcements for you." β
Ning You pondered for a while before he slowly spoke, "The lord values it, even if the teaching brigade is exhausted, it will definitely ensure that the safety of the border is not lost." β
This is because Li Jing has no soldiers at hand, and the teaching brigade is the most elite, and he has no choice but to send troops to Anbian to intercept the officers and troops in the north, and it is too far to transfer troops from the fourth and fifth brigades, and a battalion sent by Zhao Mosheng has now been scattered to various places, and it is impossible to gather at all.
"We must protect the whole army, don't fight with the officers and soldiers, even if you lose Anbian, you will not hesitate." Li Jing gave a few words of uneasy advice, and then let the two leave.
"Command the pro-guard battalion and pull the camp around the county."
β¦β¦
"Dashuai, this is Baishui, it is Pucheng, there is an official army in this place, should we stop and wait for the fifteenth battalion and the fifth battalion on the left to come up?" The twenty-fifth battalion was Ling Weitong looking at the long line of troops, but he frowned.
I couldn't help but persuade a few words, it was really the troops of the Fifth Brigade entering Shaanxi, the queue was too open, a whole three battalions, the fifteenth battalion was still far away in Yan'an, guarding the prisoners of the official army, waiting for the third battalion of the third battalion and one of the second brigade to go to take over the defense, and the fifteenth battalion had just broken through Yichuan and was rushing to come.
The second capital of the 25th battalion, and Yijun stationed at the junction of the two prefectures, did not lose the way back, and at the head of the entire battalion, there were only two regular soldiers and one auxiliary soldier, plus Tan Wu's personal guards were only 1,800 elites.
Even if there are two independent capitals converted from the captives, but the people and horses are also thin, according to the summary of information collected from everywhere, Xi'an is the capital of Shaanxi after all, and it is also the residence of the vassal king Qin Wang, there are three elite guards, plus garrisons in various places, there are about 20,000 people and horses in the official army, ten times as much as their own home, even if the empty salary is serious, it is much more than their own home.
When Tan Wu heard this, he glanced at the long queue behind him, shook his head and said, "I have twenty tiger squat cannons on hand, and two general cannons, except for Xi'an Jiancheng, the rest are not a problem, and now the morale of the court officers and soldiers is low, even if there are tens of thousands, I regard them as grass mustard." β
He breathed again, "Sweeping the officers and troops along the way, you can also see, what kind of virtue is this army, even if there is a person who dares to fight, I don't dare to go deep alone, but is there one?" β
As he spoke, he laughed out loud, thinking about how strong the imperial court was in the past, but when he arrived at the place, as soon as the elite was transferred, even if there were 100,000 military households left, it would be useless.
"If it's just a soldier, then I'm not afraid." Ling Weitong thought about it for a while, what is there to worry about in this army.
Tan Wu made a final decision, "That is, I heard that the governors of the three sides have transferred the elite to the north, let's work harder, break Xi'an City, capture the puppet King Mingqin alive, and build an immortal achievement for the Lord and the Lord!" (To be continued.) )
