Chapter 208: Fight for Food

Seeing that it was Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer of Fufu Town, personally greeted him, he was deeply surprised, and he stepped forward to greet him: "The last general, Wang Dou, a guerrilla general in Baoan Prefecture, has seen the military gate.

Wang Dou respectfully should be.

Their faces were even more exciting, and they all patrolled the soldiers with greedy eyes.

Yang Guozhu pondered for a long time and said, "Presumably, most of the camp is your family, right?" ”

Wang Dou said ambiguously: "There is a part."

At the same time that the official document of the Ministry of War was given to Wang Dou, a copy was also given to Yang Guozhu, limiting Wang Dou to arrive on October 15, but Wang Dou arrived one day earlier, and all the staff arrived on the same day. This kind of posture of strengthening the army is even more concerning.

Wang Dou's answer was very vague, Yang Guozhu and others guessed that most of Wang Dou's army was his family, and he had only a garrison before, how could he support so many strong soldiers, but he could ask for advice.

Not only that, but the soldiers that Yang Guozhu referred to earlier. In the standard of each battalion, they are also qualified soldiers, and even a large part of them can become family members, but in the Wang Dou camp, they are just ordinary soldiers, and they can also arrive with the soldiers on the same day, which is even more thought-provoking.

Of course, there are also people who think that Wang Dou is stupid, and his guerrilla battalion has just been formed, so he will pull out the whole amount, and if the soldiers and horses are damaged, his new guerrilla who is proud of the spring breeze will be nothing.

Yang Guozhu glanced at Wang Dou meaningfully, and said: "General Wang, Qianli Qin Wang, loyal and brave, I will introduce you to a large number of stout generals with helmets and armor behind him, most of them are leading generals of various battalions in the town.

Wang Douren was a guerrilla general in a hurry, and he didn't have time to get acquainted with the generals of the various war camps in Xuanfu Town. At this time, Yang Guozhu introduced Wang Dou one by one.

In Xuanfu Town, there are Fubiao Battalion, Zhenbiao Zhongquan Battalion, and Zhenbiao Left and Right Wing Battalions, all of which are soldiers. Among them, Yang Guozhu directly led the town standard Zhongquan camp, also known as the main barracks. The left and right wings of the battalion are each commanded by an adjutant general and a staff general. ”

He stopped talking, just looked at Wang Dou carefully.

Next were the two guerrilla generals Li Jianming and Wen Hui, who led two battalions of soldiers and horses in the south and west of the city, both wearing round necks and plackets and tin armor

Thousands of soldiers and horses came to help, and Ma Erbudou felt that although they were close to each other, there was a kind of unconvincing in their bones.

Also, one of them is almost forty years old. A man in his forties, but only with the rank of guerrilla general, saw that he was so young and rose so quickly, he felt uncomfortable, and it was normal to be unconvinced.

These are the main generals of Xuanfu Town, and the rest are thousands of generals in each army. Put the total and so on. Lin Deng, the deputy commander-in-chief, led the left wing battalion of the town standard, that is, the odd battalion, but this time he stayed in the town and did not send help.

Including the king's soldiers and horses, there were more than 12,000 reinforcements in Xuanfu Town, and there were so many people. I can't tell.

Among the reinforcements from everyone, Wang Dou and Yang Guozhu were the most powerful.

Yang Guozhu greeted Chen An again, although Chen An was only a guerrilla rank, but he was a general of the Chinese army of Lu Xiangsheng's standard battalion, and with Yang Guozhu's respect, he also had to deliberately make friends. He led Wang Dou here, which was also an opportunity.

Regarding Yang Guozhu's invitation to join the camp for a banquet, Chen An readily agreed.

Yang Guozhu said to Wang Dou: "General Wang came from afar, first set up camp to rest, I asked General Guo to find a place to camp for you, and tonight I will meet my colleagues in the army to pick up the wind and wash the dust for General Wang."

Wang Dou thanked him loudly, and thanked Chen An, that Guo Yingxian was in a hurry, leading Wang Dou and others into the camp, looking at Wang Dou's mighty carriages and horses entering the camp, Zhang Yan, the general of the right-wing battalion of Xuanfu Zhenbiao, thoughtfully: "This Wang Dou has prepared so much grain and grass for planting. ”

Wang Dou entered the camp, and it seemed that Yang Guozhu was quite strict in governing the army, and the control of the left and right camps was very clear. In the dense tent, Yang Guozhu's Chinese army tent can be seen in the middle like the stars holding the moon. laughed and said, "Come, General Wang, sit here." ”

Pointing to a desk next to him, Wang Dou's eyes swept away, opposite him was Zhang Yan, a staff general of the Xuanfu, and below were the guerrilla generals Li Jianming and Wen Hui, Chen An seemed to be returning to the city, and he was not seen, and the empty desk next to Guo Yingxian seemed to be the desk that entertained Chen An.

However, Guo Yingxian is the general of the Chinese army of the general Yang Guozhu, so he can sit opposite Zhang Yan, how can he be?

He walked to the bottom of the table and said, "The last general will sit here." ”

Seeing that Wang Dou was so young, he knew how to advance and retreat so well, Yang Guozhu nodded slowly, Zhang Yan also glanced at Wang Dou thoughtfully, and Li Jianming and Wen Hui's faces were also a little softer. See Wang Dou sit down. owed a debt and nodded to Wang Dou.

Guo Yingxian was not satisfied, took his big bowl, strode over with a wine jug, and shouted: "General Wang is late, you should be punished with three glasses of wine."

Wang Dou said: "Okay, I admit the punishment."

Three bowls in a row. The warm rice wine was in his arms, Wang Dou's head was a little dizzy, and Guo Yingxian gave Wang Dou a thumbs up: "It's refreshing enough." ”

He squinted at Han Zhong behind Wang Dou, and laughed strangely: "Boy, are you greedy?" Do you dare to have three bowls with Lao Guo? small

Wang Dou once had a rule that no alcohol was allowed in the army during the march and battle, Han Zhong was a drunkard, and after a long time of change, he shouted: "Just do it, who is afraid of whom?" ”

looked at Wang Dou with a blank eye, Wang Dou nodded slightly, Han Zhong was overjoyed, grabbed a big bowl, and worked with Guo Yingxian three times in a row, Guo Yingxian stumbled a little, but Han Zhong's face did not change.

Yang Guozhu laughed: "General Wang, your subordinates are as bold as possible

Ordered to put a few tables behind Wang Dou and let Han Zhong. Wen Fangliang and Xie Yike sat down. He was also quite worried about this rumor, and the soldiers from various towns came to help, but what they got was this news, which dealt a big blow to the morale of the army. Of course, there are also some people who are afraid of death, and they don't have to fight the whip soldiers.

Yang Guozhu said slowly: "Don't pay attention to those rumors, a few days ago, the Holy Lord gave Lu Duchen silver taels, healthy horses, iron whips and other things, and he was very gentle. It is expected that the fighting spirit will be very sharp. As an official of Xuanda, we only need to follow the governor to kill the enemy and serve the country. ”

Lu Xiangsheng has a very high prestige in the three towns of Xuanda, and after listening to Yang Guozhu's words, Zhang Yan didn't say anything anymore, he just said: "Junmen, I have been waiting for Changping for many days, the supply of grain and grass has been insufficient, the soldiers are thousands of miles away, they can't fight hungry, the emperor is not hungry." ”

Yang Guozhu frowned, the Ming Dynasty has been famine after famine, and the grain and grass in Gyeonggi have been insufficient, not to mention that tens of thousands of Qinwang's troops have gathered in Changping, and the amount of grain and grass needed is even more astronomical, where can it be supplied? The officers and soldiers of the three towns of Xuanda received some grain and grass intermittently, and it was difficult to support the actions of the army.

A few days ago, Emperor Chongzhen rewarded reinforcements with tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Lu Xiangsheng even distributed all the silver he gave to his soldiers, winning the hearts of the reinforcements. It's just that at present, there are many Qing soldiers around, and even if there is silver, it is difficult to buy grain and grass.

Guo Yingxian said angrily: "My old Guo arrived to get the news, and the director Gao Qiqian will supply the grain and grass of the army to the various armies in Guanning first. Just give us some scraps to burn. ”

As the chief army of the reinforcements, Gao Qiqian is responsible for the record of military achievements on the battlefield and the supply of food and equipment for various armies. He had supervised the army in various parts of Guanning for many years, and the Beijing division gave grain and grass to the reinforcements. He gave priority to supplying the various armies in Guanning, and the officers and soldiers of the three towns of Xuanda only got a small amount of grain and grass, and they were all indignant.

Yang Guozhu shouted: "General Guo, be cautious." ”

Behind the private discussion of the director, the crime can be leaked out, and even Yang Guozhu is difficult to protect Guo Yingxian.

Yang Guozhu is usually strict in the army, he opened his mouth to scold, Guo Yingxian immediately stopped, just muttering something in his mouth.

Yang Guozhu sighed: "The matter of grain and grass, the governor has tried many ways, but", it is difficult to do. ”

The atmosphere in the tent was boring, the supply of grain and grass was not in charge of Lu Xiangsheng, and he even distributed all the silver taels that the emperor rewarded him with to the soldiers, and no one could say anything to him.

It's just that the army always has to eat, so how can this be solved?

Zhang Yan glanced at Wang Dou and said, "It's also a coincidence, General Wang came today and brought a large amount of grain and grass, which is enough for my Xuanzhen army to eat for many days." They are all robes in the army, and there is no distinction between you and me, why don't General Wang take out a piece of grain and grass to help the brothers in the army? ”

Hearing his words, everyone in the tent was moved, and all of them looked at Wang Dou. These reinforcements rushed in, except for a few days of dry food and forage, of course, they couldn't talk about what kind of grain and grass they brought, and when they went out to the field, there was no reason to bring their own grain and grass, and they had to be supplied by the local government.

It is too rare for Wang Dou to bring his own grain and grass, and to be able to arrive on the same day as the soldiers, if Wang Dou agrees, it really solves their urgent need.

The guerrilla general Li Jianming even said: "General Wang, if you agree, the general will not ask for your grain and grass relief in vain, and I also have some silver taels in my camp as funds to buy grain and grass from you."

Wen Fangliang was okay, Han Zhong and Xie Yike almost jumped up. These guys want to take the grain and grass from their camp? Then Li Jianming said it well, buy it with silver, and when the army goes out, what is the use of silver? Can you eat or drink? Swallow it on your stomach and possibly digest it?

Wang Dou remained silent, restraining the commotion of Han Zhong and the others, and he glanced at Zhang Yan deeply. In history, the reason why Zhang Yan died in battle with Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Dou was full of respect for Zhang Yan, but respect was respectful, these grains and grasses were the life guarantee of his army. How can you give it to someone else?
