Chapter 201: The Heart of the Army

Su Tiancheng has his own ideas, the more than 5,000 sergeants of the Jiangning County Inspection Department have begun to attract a lot of attention, the army is too strong, it always attracts the attention of others, and it is necessary to take precautions. Although Qin Sande, the eunuch guarding the town, was facing himself, no one knew what would happen in the capital.

This expedition is a good opportunity, and if you are lucky, you will be able to meet the rogue and have a big victory, and you will have an excuse to retain and train the army, and only then can you develop the army.

Opportunities are always fought for step by step, the development of the army needs time, the support of silver, the tempering of blood and fire, the road needs to be walked step by step, think about so many famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, exterminate the Liukou, did not succeed, by no means to say that these people are useless, objective reasons, must exist.

The Ming Dynasty is terminally ill, and it must first stabilize the interior, reform the interior, and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, on December 23, the military camp of the Jiangning Suburban Inspection Division.

Under the winter sun, all the sergeants who were preparing to go out put on their armor and stood on the playground, waiting for Su Tiancheng to give the order to set off.

Ma Huabiao and others led the 2,000 sergeants who stayed behind were also full of energy, of course, some sergeants felt frustrated.

The 3,700 sergeants who went out this time included 2,000 of Xiong Tingbi's own soldiers, 1,000 of the original Yanding, and 700 of the Nanjing Jingying Xiaocai Battalion.

Looking at the 3,700 sergeants who were ready to go, Su Tiancheng's heart was surging, he wanted to take these sergeants day and night, and within three days, he rushed to Anqing Mansion.

On the battlefield, the sword is ruthless, and Su Tiancheng also knows the way, and there must be some casualties in the extermination of the rogue. No matter how well prepared you are, you can't avoid it.

"Brothers, I will take you to Anqing Mansion to exterminate the rogues, you are all battle-hardened warriors, no matter how many rogues you face. We will not be afraid, speaking of which, this is our first expedition, and if we encounter the rogues, we must do everything in our power to exterminate them, and I believe that victory will be ours, brothers. Do you have faith? ”

"There is ......"

The sound of roaring with all his might shook Su Tiancheng's eardrums.

"Brothers, we are like brothers and sisters, we are all one, on the battlefield, the sword is merciless, we will be wounded, we will be crippled. You will even lose some brothers, but I want you to remember six words. We will not abandon or give up, we will go out to fight together, we will come back together, we will bring back all our brothers, we will not abandon any brother. No matter what kind of difficulties we encounter, we will not give up every brother, whether he is alive or sacrificed, this is our oath, and it is also the oath of our invincible army. Did the brothers remember? ”

"Don't abandon, don't give up ......"

"Okay, brothers, let's go win the battle and make the rogues tremble before us."

Looking at the passionate sergeants, looking at Sun Yuankun and others with red faces, Su Tiancheng was full of emotion, speaking of which, the rogues who went to exterminate this time were Zijin Liang, the head of the thirty-sixth battalion, and the task was definitely not light.

In all dynasties, the peasants were the most miserable, and they would not rebel until they were forced to do so, and the famine in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and other places made the peasants have no food to eat, and they had no way out, so they could only rebel, coupled with the corruption and corruption of the government, they did not take the peasants' hardships into account at all, and did not know how to provide relief, resulting in the current situation.

Su Tiancheng has a trace of guilt in his heart, there is no food to eat, waiting for death to die, and if it falls on his head, he will also rebel, but reason tells him that if he wants to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, he must ruthlessly exterminate the rogues.

The peasant uprising, in the end, fell into the middle of the strange circle, this peasant uprising that began in the first year of Chongzhen, developed to the present, has been somewhat degenerated, Zijin Liang, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, Luo Rucai, Ge Li Eye, Zuo Jin Wang, Reincarnated King, Shooting the Sky, Hengtian King, Mixed 100,000, Guotianxing, Nine Dragons, Shuntian King and others, as the leader of the rebel army, is already running towards power, once they gain power, what they think of is not to fundamentally solve the problem of the peasants, not to let the peasants be fed and clothed, It is not about building the country, but about enjoying it, fighting for power and profit, making a miasma, and in the end, it is the peasants who suffer.

The regime established by the peasant rebel army was inferior to the feudal dynastic regime established by the big landlords.

This is the limitation of history, and in the middle of the historical development, we have never been able to get out of the strange circle.

Su Tiancheng rejects Huairou's policy, he will never show mercy, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to himself, once he meets the rogue and sees the rogues, he will kill them all, and will not leave the fire, especially the leader of the rogues, which must be killed, he refuses to resurrect the ashes.

The horse galloped all the way, Su Tiancheng had completely left those messy thoughts behind, there were many questions to think about, and the most important thing was to ensure that his army would achieve the greatest victory with the minimum casualties after encountering the rogues.

Fighting a war is about a kind of momentum that gives up on others, and in the case of defeating the opponent in one go, the arrangement of troops on the battlefield is of course important, but the sergeants have no spirit, and they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, even if Su Wu is alive and Zhuge Liang is reborn, there is no way to win.

The momentum of anyone else, it is not to say that there is one, it is a very good incentive method to put it to death and live afterward, people can burst out the maximum energy when they are forced to have no choice, but in this way, their own losses are also heavy, the result is often to kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred, Su Tiancheng will not do such a thing.

Su Tiancheng uses family affection and belief to establish a relationship with the soldiers, kill the enemy together, take care of each other, and never abandon and dislike, which produces a strong attraction, so that the soldiers are willing to follow themselves, so that the soldiers can give full play to their potential, on the other hand, to ensure the treatment of the soldiers, so that the families of the soldiers can be well settled, when each soldier charges on the battlefield, he thinks of repaying his kindness, thinking of killing the enemy, thinking of the soul of the army, and thinking of the group.

In the era of cold weapons, relying on blood, relying on fighting spirit, relying on the spirit of not being afraid of death and not admitting defeat, losing these key things, even if there are thousands of troops, they are just a group of sheep to be slaughtered.

With these temperaments, it can be regarded as an army that cannot be dragged or defeated, and it is an invincible division.

All the soldiers, with three days of dry food, had only three hours of rest every day.

Gold is sufficient, and of the 3,700 soldiers on this trip, Jiangning County prepared 10,000 taels of gold.

Su Tiancheng doesn't believe in the supply of Anqing Mansion, if people deduct it, you don't have much to do, you have gold and silver in your hands, which is the last word.

The nutrition of soldiers is very important, and it is necessary to ensure the maximum physical strength and ensure the supply of nutrients.

Not only people, but also war horses are also very important.

3,700 soldiers, all cavalry, if they meet the rogue in the encounter, they will give the maximum damage and prevent the leader of the rogue from escaping.

Su Tiancheng didn't have anything special, he was also riding a horse, in the middle of the team, Sun Yuankun and the others, thinking about taking care of him, reminding him from time to time, whether to take a break, or slow down.

At first, Su Tiancheng shook his head with a smile and refused, but after listening too much, he reprimanded Sun Yuankun, and the brothers came out to fight together, all as one, and no one could be special.

Sun Yuankun was reprimanded, but he was not angry at all, but revealed a ruthlessness, this momentum affected other people, everyone was urging the horse forward, and no one was left behind.

It turned out that Ji Lu had planned three days to rush to Anqing Mansion and enter the territory of Anqing Mansion, and Su Tiancheng found that they had advanced by nearly three hours.

That's half a day.

Looking at the soldiers behind them, everyone was in good spirits and did not show fatigue.

At this time, he must be careful, after all, Zijin Liang is the head of the thirty-sixth battalion, not an ordinary person, he has a good combat effectiveness, he has achieved some victories in Shaanxi and Shanxi, although he has suffered a temporary setback, but the strength is still there, if he enters the Anqing Mansion in Nanzhili and loots money, he must have passed some reconnaissance.

Moreover, there are many sergeants in Zijinliang, estimated to be tens of thousands.

The sergeants led by oneself, even if they are one enemy and ten, must have accurate information, and know that they will not be defeated in a hundred battles, which is an unbreakable truth.

"General Sun, we have already entered Anqing Mansion, I suggest that we send as many scouts as possible, and go to investigate according to the situation reported in the edict of the Ministry of War, we arrived at Anqing Mansion very early, and there is plenty of time, and the scouts must be careful and try their best to find out the situation."

Sun Yuankun nodded, he also thought about it like this.

"The sergeant of the Anqing Mansion Guard, must have made some preparations, I suggest, send someone to contact them, we don't join forces, act separately, I think, brothers work hard, simply rush to Susong County, where it borders Huguang, we will be stationed in Susong County, try not to alarm the local government, and don't alarm the people."

"My lord, my subordinates think about it, the edict of the Ministry of War must have arrived in Anqing Mansion, if the prefect is ready to greet it, I can't wait for Anqing Mansion City, will it cause contradictions."

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze.

"Lord Qu, is it hard for you, go to the city of Anqing Mansion, meet the prefect, we came to Anqing Mansion to exterminate the Liukou, these things that attract and send to you, can be avoided, as for the problem of grain and grass, if they have a heart, we will not refuse, if they are difficult, we will not be reluctant."

Qu Qingze nodded.

"It's good, but we are not familiar with the terrain of Anqing Mansion, and we are not familiar with the situation of Susong, and we are not familiar with the situation of Susong, while sending Lu to scout, we also need to have a local guide, it is best to be familiar with the terrain of the entire Anqing Mansion, the map is dead, and the guide can save us a lot of things."
