Chapter 612: Pacifying the Wanderers (1)
After being appointed as the governor of Jiliao, Su Tiancheng did not relax his vigilance against the Liukou, and the Jiangning Battalion soldiers in Sichuan left 5,000 people, the main responsibility of these people is to be responsible for completely exterminating the Liukou, and the sergeants of the Sichuan Guard Station are unlikely to rely on the truth of beating the water dogs, Su Tiancheng understands very well.
After all the 10,000 Liukou stationed in Bazhou surrendered, Su Tiancheng and Qin Liangyu discussed and made a decision, He Renlong returned to Sichuan and led these 5,000 people, and it was extremely important to annihilate the Liukou, Luo Rucai led 20,000 Liukou to flee and went in the direction of Songpanwei, if he left Songpan. When you enter Dogandus, things are not easy.
If this opportunity is missed, no one knows if Luo Rucai will make a comeback.
After making this arrangement, Su Tiancheng also ordered a large-scale propaganda in Sichuan that Li Zicheng was captured alive and that the 90,000 Liukou army was annihilated.
When He Renlong left the capital, Su Tiancheng warned him not to always think about fighting on the battlefield, but also to think about the role that can be played outside the battlefield, such as getting the support of the people, being able to obtain accurate information, grasping Luo Rucai's whereabouts, and grasping the movements of the 20,000 Liukou, including whether there are any changes within the Liukou team, etc., to seize the best opportunity to annihilate the Liukou in one fell swoop, not to give the Liukou a chance to breathe, let alone let Luo Rucai escape.
Qin Liangyu left the capital with He Renlong.
Qin Liangyu has a lot of respect for Su Tiancheng, although Su Tiancheng is younger than her son, but this respect has nothing to do with age, Qin Liangyu felt that Su Tiancheng was in a high position and held great power. did not mean to despise himself in the slightest, although he had made great achievements in the past, but in Sichuan, in the imperial court, Qin Liangyu could still feel the contempt, after all, he was the identity of Tusi. Ethnic minorities, only here in Su Tiancheng, she did not feel it, and she received the greatest support, especially when integrating the army of the Sichuan Guard, her power even exceeded that of the governor.
This time, he was able to hang the rank of secretary of the Ministry of War, serve as the commander of Sichuan, and the governor of the military affairs of Sichuan, Henan, and Shanxi, and be responsible for completely exterminating the Liukou. It was also strongly recommended by Su Tiancheng, there was a time when Qin Liangyu also thought about reforming another white pole soldier, but now there is no such idea, her status is still changing, she is no longer a toast, she is in charge of the military affairs of Sichuan, Henan and Shanxi provinces. Even if the rogues are completely exterminated, I am afraid that they will return to the court. Directly enter the Six Ministries or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this is probably a miracle of the Ming Dynasty.
It is unimaginable that a woman can participate in politics, if it were not for Su Tiancheng's recommendation, there would be no such possibility.
Before leaving the capital, Qin Liangyu brought a heavy gift. I made a special trip to Su Tiancheng's mansion to visit.
Qin Liangyu was carrying a white jade that was more than one person tall, which she accidentally obtained when she was exterminating the anti-thieves in Guizhou, and was ready to be used as an heirloom for several battles. In order to maintain the expenses of the white pole soldiers, Qin Liangyu sold a lot of things, including his own jewelry and wedding jewelry, but he never touched this white marble.
Su Tiancheng did not refuse this expensive gift, but when it was precious, this white marble had not been carved and was in a primitive state, that is to say, Su Tiancheng could ask someone to carve it, he thought about it, this white marble was made a statue for Zhu Xianxin, which can be regarded as his long-term absence from home, and his gratitude to Zhu Xianxin for keeping the house.
Su Tiancheng and Qin Liangyu discussed the matter of completely exterminating the Liukou, the two of them have the same view, Qin Liangyu is also worried that after all the Jiangning battalion soldiers are evacuated from Sichuan, relying on the guards of Sichuan, Henan and even Shanxi, I am afraid that they will not be able to completely exterminate the Liukou, if it is not done well, the Liukou will resurgence again, for Su Tiancheng to leave 5,000 Jiangning Battalion soldiers to be responsible for the complete extermination of the Liukou, Qin Liangyu is very grateful, thinking that this is certain.
After He Renlong set off, he was anxious.
He is such a person, he does things in a hurry, he used to have a lot of problems, including liking to drink, like pleasure, short-tempered, etc., a lot of bad habits, in the Jiangning battalion, has been fundamentally corrected, there is no way, the military discipline of the Jiangning battalion is very strict, only the temper of doing things in a hurry, has always been retained.
He Renlong specially reported to Qin Liangyu who set off together, Qin Liangyu is now holding the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, and the prime minister is going to obey Qin Liangyu's command to exterminate the Liukou.
He Renlong's meaning, his speed is faster, rush to Sichuan as soon as possible, and completely exterminate the last branch led by Luo Rucai, Qin Liangyu can take his time in the back, don't worry, I can't imagine that Qin Liangyu disagrees, saying that he has no problem, he can catch up with the pace, and follow He Renlong to quickly return to Sichuan.
The reason why He Renlong was so anxious was because he knew that the Jiangning battalion army had been transferred to Liaodong.
What to do in Liaodong, fools know the way, that is, to start a war with the Houjin Tartars, this is more cruel than fighting with the Liukou, to be tragic with the family, more cruel, such a war, can not be without him He Renlong, but the Liukou can not be completely exterminated, he can not leave Sichuan, maybe the time has dragged on, it will delay the opportunity to fight with the Houjin Tartars.
With such an idea, He Renlong was of course anxious, and he couldn't wait to chase after Luo Rucai, and after he was exterminated immediately, he immediately drove to Liaodong.
The 5,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers left behind were all stationed in Bazhou.
Although the 10,000 Liukou surrendered to the Sergeant of Boryeong, it was the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion who actually controlled the situation.
When Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang made a decision to lead the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to leave Bazhou, the commander of the Baoning Guard stationed here was so frightened that he didn't dare to sleep at all, nor did he dare to call the sergeants to attack, and stuck in the city of Bazhou.
A few days later, after the news that the Jiangning battalion had won a complete victory, exterminated 90,000 rogues, and had broken into the king Li Zicheng, the leader of the bandits, the commander of the guard knew everything.
The 10,000 Liukou who were still left in Bazhou surrendered, and the Wei commander was a little overwhelmed, his first sergeant was only more than 4,000 people, and he didn't know how to control the 10,000 surrendered soldiers, and after the 5,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion arrived, his heart calmed down.
At this time, the commander of the guard understood that the areas of Kuizhou, Baoning, Longan, and Tongzhou were completely peaceful, and there would be no more rogue harassment.
Qin Liangyu went directly to Chengdu, she had to go there to take office, as for the complete eradication of the Liukou, she discussed with He Renlong in detail along the way, including the situation of Songpanwei, Qin Liangyu said it in detail, and found several guides in Kuizhou, these people are very familiar with the terrain of Songpanwei, and they are also Songpan locals.
After He Renlong arrived in Bazhou, he immediately received information.
Intelligence shows that the rogue led by Luo Rucai has had internal strife, and now the morale is low, the number of sergeants has decreased sharply, there are less than 10,000 people, and there is basically no fighting spirit, Luo Rucai's purpose is to leave Songpan and enter the Duogandu Division, so that he can get rid of the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty army.
After reading this information and studying the terrain for a night, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion set off.
Even if Luo Rucai fled to Duogandusi, He Renlong had to chase after him, the grassland tribe was very respectful to the Jiangning camp, and they didn't dare to cause trouble easily, so it was said that entering the Duogandusi to chase and kill, although there was a certain danger, but in general, the problem would not be too big, the grassland tribes basically knew the way, and the mutual market could get a lot of food, salt and iron, which were all necessities of life, and the mutual market was directly controlled by the Jiangning camp, if you offended the Jiangning camp, I am afraid that you would not get these materials and could not trade, No one will cut off his wealth.
The march of the Jiangning battalion was fast.
Strictly speaking, there is no infantry battalion in the Jiangning battalion, through the mutual market, the Jiangning battalion has been supplemented with a large number of war horses, and it is still being replenished in a steady stream, although He Renlong is the commander of the infantry battalion guard, but the soldiers who actually command, everyone is riding a war horse, the only difference is that these soldiers can fight on war horses, and they can also fight with opponents on land.
The training method of the Jiangning Battalion is taken orally.
Five thousand soldiers, according to the route pointed out by the intelligence, at this time, He Renlong also admired Su Tiancheng's strength, although he was thousands of miles away, he was still able to grasp the whereabouts of the Liukou, this is the ability, it can save too much trouble.
Everywhere I went, when I passed by the county seat, someone would send information, the above was about the situation of the rogue led by Luo Rucai, and when he arrived at Huangyang Pass in Long'an Mansion, He Renlong basically knew Luo Rucai's embarrassing situation.
Huangyang Pass is the junction of Long'an Mansion and Songpan Wei, leaving Huangyang Pass, you will enter Songpan Wei.
The route chosen by Luo Rucai is basically a straight line, after entering Songpanwei from Huangyang Pass, passing through the hyoid bone, Songpan and other places, directly into the red plain, from the red plain into the Duogan Dusi, there are deserts, grasslands, grasslands, etc. on the way, the road is very difficult to walk, Luo Rucai invited the local guides, most of them fled, the army was infighting, who is not afraid, so a lot of time was delayed, joining the internal restlessness, morale was low, and the action was very slow.
He Renlong secretly rejoiced, fortunately, Luo Rucai was still in Songpan and did not enter the Duogandu Division, so it was always more convenient to fight, as for the information that said that the morale of the rogue was low, less than 10,000 people, etc., he would not have the idea of underestimating the enemy because of these news, it was very dangerous, even if the other party did not have much combat effectiveness, he still had to use all his strength to deal with it.
