Chapter 290: Zhu Qin on Soldiers (1)
Since Zhu Youcheng is a son-in-law, Qin Liangyu, as a mother-in-law, has something to say.
"Virtuous son-in-law......" Qin Liangyu was ready to cheekily ask Zhu Youcheng for help.
Zhu Youcheng waved his hand and directly helped Qin Liangyu, who was a little embarrassed, to say his request: "Do you want me to help General Ma Qiancheng clear his grievances and punish the eunuch Qiu Chengyun who framed General Ma?" ”
Qin Liangyu was stunned and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, how do you know?" ”
"Your little bit of caution, who in Daming doesn't know, who doesn't know? Actually, even if I'm not your son-in-law, I'll take care of this matter. Daming can't treat people who have contributed to Daming, otherwise who else will serve Daming in the future? ”
Qin Liangyu's eyes were red, this matter had been buried in her heart for a long time, her husband was wronged, and she complained everywhere, but no one accepted it.
Although the emperor was merciful, after Ma Qiancheng died in prison, he said that he was not guilty of a major crime, and allowed himself to take over as Shi Yan's Xuanfu envoy, but after all, he had already been found guilty.
Zhu Youcheng was afraid that Qin Liangyu would be in a hurry, so he asked the guards to bring the four treasures of the study and write four letters in the court.
The first letter was addressed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, explaining Ma Qiancheng's grievances, asking the emperor to rehabilitate General Ma, and allowing General Ma's spiritual seat to enter the Ming Dynasty Martyrs' Temple and enjoy the sacrifice of all people.
∮
The second letter was still addressed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but it was a private matter, asking the emperor to give him a marriage, such as Ma Yunniang, and the marriage date was specified in two years.
The third letter was addressed to the temple of the Daming Temple, ordering him to hold a grand ceremony to welcome General Ma Qiancheng into the temple.
The fourth letter was addressed to Wei Zhongxian, the governor of Dongchang, asking him to execute Qiu Chengyun, the main culprit who framed General Ma Qiancheng, and to hand over Qiu Chengyun's head to someone to bring back.
The four letters were not sealed, and he handed the letter to Qin Liangyu.
Qin Liangyu knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, took out the letter and read it, and read the four letters. She couldn't help but burst into tears.
It's been thirteen years, thirteen years, and her husband's grievances have finally come to fruition, how can this not make her excited?
Qin Liangyu wiped her tears, handed the second letter to Ma Yunniang, and said, "Yunniang." You can also read this letter. ”
Ma Yunniang read the letter at a glance and ten lines, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with joy.
Qin Liangyu handed the letter back to Zhu Youcheng.
Zhu Youcheng took the four letters, glued the envelopes, called a guard, and asked him to go to the post station and send them to Beijing in an expedited manner of 800 miles.
He specially told the guards that the third letter to the temple must be sent to the temple after the emperor agrees to put the spiritual seat of General Ma Qiancheng into the Ming Dynasty Martyrs' Temple.
The messenger is gone. Zhu Youcheng thought about it and decided to tell Qin Liangyu about the hidden dangers of the white pole soldiers that he observed a few days ago.
This is not only because Qin Liangyu is his own family, but more importantly, Qin Liangyu guards Sichuan, can resist Zhang Xianzhong who entered Sichuan, keep Sichuan, the country of abundance, and protect an important grain base for the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youcheng said solemnly: "General Qin, when I said that the white pole soldiers were the strongest soldiers in the southwest, you were very dissatisfied......
Qin Liangyu's face was flushed. Since she led the White Pole Soldiers to track down the Jinyi Guard, she found that the Brocade Guard's combat effectiveness surpassed that of the White Pole Soldiers. That little unconvincing thought has long been thrown out of the clouds.
Zhu Youcheng brought up the old matter again, although Qin Liangyu knew that he was not sarcastic, but his face was still full of shame.
She said: "Master Zhu, at that time, the last general was indeed a little sitting in the well and watching the sky, and he thought that the white pole soldiers were amazing. After looking at the achievements of adults along the way, I realized that there was still room for improvement for the white pole soldiers. ”
Zhu Youcheng said: "General Qin is right to think so. Tong guò observes. I found that the individual soldiers of the white pole soldiers are okay, that is, the unit has a single type of troops, which affects the overall combat effectiveness of the troops a little. ”
Qin Liangyu said unconvinced: "The white-pole soldiers are famous for their white-pole guns, so naturally all of them are white-pole pikemen. Our spear array defeated the Yi soldiers and Miao soldiers, and also defeated the Jiannu soldiers in Liaodong. Do you say that the white pole soldiers are strong? ”
Zhu Youcheng pointed out unceremoniously: "General Qin, the white pole soldiers have indeed defeated the Yi soldiers and the Miao soldiers, but it seems that they have not yet won a victory against Shang Jiannu." ”
Qin Liangyu slapped his thigh and said with annoyance: "Outside Shanhaiguan, if it weren't for the Liaodong troops on the left flank to retreat first, our army would be sure to annihilate the invading Jiannu under the walls of Shanhaiguan." ”
Zhu Youdao: "If you lose, you will be defeated, don't look for objective reasons." Jiannu's skills in fighting are becoming more and more proficient, and if you face Shangjian Nu in the future, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find a reason for failure. ”
Zhu Youcheng spoke very politely, and Qin Liangyu's face turned red again. It seems that if he and Zhu Youcheng continue to get along, Qin Liangyu will have to become Guan Gong.
Ma Yunniang knew that the two were talking about official business, although she was worried that the two of them would quarrel, she didn't dare to persuade each other.
Ma Xianglin was stunned, and interjected: "It's useless to say that, you will know if you fight on the battlefield." Brother-in-law, I think your soldiers are not inferior to Jiannu, or you pretend to be Jiannu, and we will fight a battle here, and it will be clear which is stronger or weaker between the white pole soldiers and the Jiannu robber soldiers? ”
Qin Liangyu was very angry by Zhu Youcheng, and he also wanted to use the opportunity of the exercise to teach him a lesson, and at the same time save a little face for his white pole soldiers, so he echoed a few words.
Zhu Youcheng didn't answer, just raised a finger.
Ma Xianglin said: "Ten thousand people? Then let's admit defeat to the white pole soldiers. If you have the ability, you can fight alone, five thousand against five thousand, let's put on a good position to fight. ”
Zhu Youcheng said: "No, no." I mean, it only takes 1,000 cavalry to wipe out the white pole soldiers. ”
Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin both jumped up and shouted in unison: "Zhu Youcheng, presumptuous!" ”
Zhu Youcheng was unmoved, and continued: "There must always be a lottery in the gambling fight, if Jinyiwei loses, the official will allocate an extra year of military salary to the white pole soldiers; If the white pole soldiers lost, Ma Xianglin and Ma Yunniang, brothers and sisters, went to Jingxi Huangzhuang with their own officials to live for a few years, and another 4,000 white pole soldiers were sent to Jingxi Huangzhuang to receive military training. ”
Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin both quieted down, although Zhu Youcheng's words were arrogant, but no matter whether they won or lost in this gambling battle, the white pole soldiers would always not suffer. If it's not his own family, who is willing to work so hard?
Ma Xianglin said with a smile: "The last general has a huge amount of food, don't say that rice is expensive and can't support me when I get to Beijing." ”
Zhu Youcheng smiled, and then said: "Jinyiwei's firearms are hugely powerful, and if you use firearms directly, it will be a bit too bullying. We don't use firearms, we use bows and crossbows. In order to prevent the arrows from hurting people, we will remove the arrows and wrap a lime bag around the arrowheads. Lime powder reduces the damage of arrows, and also leaves a white mark on the area where they are shot. General Qin informed the soldiers that if they had a white mark on their bodies, they would be treated as sacrifices and withdraw from the battlefield. Well, it's better to be safe, otherwise it will hurt the heavens and the peace. ”
Qin Liangyu said: "Then the general also knows the soldiers, remove the head of the white gun, and hang a lime bag on the head of the gun." ”
Zhu Youcheng said: "That's not necessary, because the white pole soldiers can't beat the brocade guards at all." ”
Ma Xianglin was about to jump up again, Zhu Youcheng waved his hand and said, "Don't argue for the time being, you will naturally know tomorrow." It will take time for Jinyiwei to prepare for this qiē, and the drill time will be set for four o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's line up and fight on the flat ground beyond the valley. I won't play, I want to take this rare opportunity to take Qingqing and Sister Yunniang to see the beautiful rivers and mountains in the west of the water. Do General Qin and General Ma want to go? ”
The two of them were almost angry with Zhu Youcheng, how could they be in the mood to accept his invitation.
Qin Liangyu could still maintain his demeanor and shook his head politely, but Ma Xianglin said angrily: "I'm not going, I want to open my eyes to see clearly, how did you, a thousand brocade guards, completely annihilate our white pole soldiers." ”——
The next morning, the two armies lined up against the enemy on the flat ground outside the valley.
Zhu Youcheng really did not go out of the battle, and the one who led Jinyi Wei to meet the enemy was neither Chen Guoqi, the envoy of Jinyi Weixi Zhensi, nor Wu Huping, the envoy of Jinyi Weidong Town, but the little-known Qianhu Cao Huazhang.
I saw that the Jinyi guards were in golden helmets and golden armor, lined up in a neat phalanx in front of the white pole soldiers, and I saw that their iron spears were hung on the victory hooks, and they carried crossbows on their backs. From the front, the tips of their guns were lined up in a straight line, and the crossbows were also aligned in a straight line.
Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin were secretly stunned, Jinyiwei was really a strong soldier, and he was able to control the troops to such a precise point. What's even more rare is that Jinyi Wei is a cavalry, and people are easy to control, but horses are not so easy to control. (To be continued......)
