Chapter 131: The "Hospitality" of Xianghe's Father

After Wang Chengen stepped back, Zhu Youzhen's face still showed a smile. Since last October, bad news has come one after another. Strictly speaking, Yuan Chonghuan was indeed a bit wronged when he was taken down, and it should be Liu Ce's responsibility on Jizhou's side. What Chongzhen couldn't bear the most was that Yuan Chonghuan actually asked to go into the city to rest, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back. As soon as Huang Taiji withdrew his troops, Chongzhen couldn't wait to take Yuan Chonghuan and directly led Zu Dashou, who was the most capable of fighting, to flee back to Ningyuan, which made Yuan Chonghuan take a step back from the road to death.

Fangshan fell, Liangxiang was defeated, and then Huang Taiji killed a horse pistol, and Yongdingmen died in the battle of Mangui. Sun Chengzong, the only one who could pin his hope, ran to Tongzhou at night, and finally arrived at Shanhaiguan and sent Ma Shilong back. With the eastward advance of Huangtaiji and the fall of Zunhua, the news between Jingshi and Shanhaiguan was cut off, and I didn't know what the situation was over there.

Under this premise, Chen Xie and Qin Liangyu attacked with a small number of troops and achieved a great victory. This is the best news Chongzhen has heard in recent times, but unfortunately there are fewer righteous people like Chen Xie, and the main force of the white pole soldiers has not yet arrived. This also led to the failure of the plan of the two to attack Zunhua and forced them to retreat.

Lifting the pen, Zhu Youzhen wrote the word "Chen Xie" on the screen, which means that this person is available and has entered the king's sight.

Zhu Youzhen has never been a king who is good at introspection, and the desire to become a great king is good. But he lacks the corresponding ability, and has character flaws, always trying to get things done, but every time he ends up with a bad result.

However, this is another era of the worst Ming Dynasty, with continuous natural disasters. I am not aware of internal and external troubles.

Because of Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen will once again use the eunuch as a supervisor, although the minister will obstruct it, but it has no effect. Chongzhen's stubbornness undoubtedly tore the seemingly healing wounds between the monarch and the ministers. The distance between the monarch and the viziers widened.

Throughout the Chongzhen year at the end of the Ming Dynasty, looking at the things that Zhu Youzhen did, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion that this emperor, whose heart is higher than the sky, does not have a clear strategy at all, or the strategic vision is basically zero.

Three Rivers. It's time to part ways. When Chen Xie and Qin Liangyu rode side by side, Qin Liangyu brought up the old story again: "Sihua, I still want to build a small army based on firearms. When you get the bounty, can you sell me a batch of firearms, and by the way, send a few officers to assist in training. ”

Chen Xie, who had been prepared for this question for a long time, smiled slightly and said, "Aunt Qin." Even if you give me money, I won't ask for it. In this way, you choose a group of honest and loyal soldiers, and the scale is not too large, limited to five hundred. These people came back to Dengzhou with me and handed them over to me for training. According to the characteristics of the white pole soldiers, I specially customized a set of tactics that are most suitable. I call this set of tactics: Chen's phalanx. ”

Well, our Doctor Chen. It was decided to plagiarize again and infringe. In fact, the Spanish phalanx at this time, Europe is not new. Chen Xie didn't have much to solve, it was just the armor of the spearman. The current Dengzhou Iron Workshop. Making some plate armor should not be able to defeat the five or six hundred blacksmiths that Chen Xie scavenged from all over the country.

Qin Liangyu was moved again, but she didn't show her face, silently accepted Chen Xie's kindness, and waited to repay her later. The white pole soldier is Qin Liangyu's capital to serve the king, and he owes some favor for this matter, which is worth it.

"Good. That's it. Qin Liangyu was on the road, and Chen Xie scratched his head. When he turned around and continued to go south, he explained to the staff officers beside him: "Record it." Send someone to ask, how is the development and production of plate armor? If there is a certain number of finished products, let the United Firm send them to Xianghe. ”

These young staff officers are actually Chen Xie's secretarial team. It is also the future that Chen Xie carefully cultivated.

Just when Chen Xie waved his army south, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Jingshi to collect the corpses outside the city and open the city gate, Mo Tai's four-wheeled carriage slowly entered the Guangqu Gate. started his career in Jingshi, and Master Mo knew very well in his heart what Chen Xie was doing to put him in this position. People like Chen Xie are destined to soar into the sky, and if they don't show their value, their position in this group will not be guaranteed in the future.

After two battles, Chen Xie undoubtedly gained a lot, and for him, building an army that dares to fight and win is the foundation of his life in the late Ming Dynasty. As for the future of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xie is not a far-sighted person, and of course it is difficult to make a long-term plan for himself. All he could think of was how to take every step in a solid way in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, even if it was a little slower, as long as he kept moving forward.

As far as Comrade Zhu Youzhen is concerned, this line of thinking is exactly the opposite. One is overestimating oneself and the other is underestimating oneself. At this time, Chen Xie probably didn't expect that his strength was underestimated by himself. In the Ming Dynasty, there were really not many problems that could not be solved by silver, as long as there was enough silver, many things would inevitably be solved.

The Dengzhou regimental training camp continued to move south, and the degree was much slower. Chen Xie is not in a hurry, he can move forward unhurriedly. Several of the injured were directly left in Tongzhou to recuperate after some surgical treatment. Yang Guodong in the city naturally has no possibility of refusing this request. And went to see Chen Xie in person, and said privately after being polite: "Sihua, what does the governor mean, is it not your ministry that will not leave." ”

Chen Xie was surprised: "How do you say this? Yang Guodong said: "Sihua doesn't know, now that the prestige of the Dengzhou camp is out, which city doesn't like your department to stay?" ”

The feeling is because I am afraid of death, and I want to ask Chen Xie to stay and help guard Tongzhou. Of course, Chen Xie couldn't accept this construction, and went to Xianghe as planned, and waited for Houjin Bishi there, which was Chen Xie's true intention, so why just stop there.

"The general soldier doesn't know that our unit fights, relying on guns and bullets, and the logistics consumption is extremely high. And the supply of guns and ammunition needs to be transported to Tianjin by sea, and this time the southward is to receive the supply. After our unit has replenished its food and ammunition, it will return. ”

Yang Guodong has nothing to say, they are pure firearms battalions, and this consumption is naturally very large. Even if Tongzhou had money, it didn't have so much gunpowder and buckshot to provide. Yang Guodong had no choice but to leave in a huff, and Chen Xie continued to go south. Before I arrived at the Xianghe, I saw firecrackers and gongs and drums in front of me. What's going on here?

At the head of the welcoming crowd was a civil official, and the county order was still very recognizable. However, Chen Xie didn't know him, so he could only dismount from a distance, strode forward and bowed his hand: "In Xia Chen Xie, although he has a watch, after all, he is only a white ding, how dare to work with the county order and all the fathers and elders to greet each other?" ”

Tongzhou County Commander Song Yi (apocryphal), stepped forward and said with a smile: "Ambassador Chen doesn't have to be humble, the next battle in Tongzhou City, others don't know, and my Xianghe father and elder everyone knows." Without Ambassador Chen's tiger power, Tongzhou would not be protected, and Xianghe would be in danger. ”

Chen Xiexin said, then there is no need to be so polite, and immediately bowed his hand and said, "Lord County, let's make it clear, right?" Otherwise, in my heart, I am very unreliable. Chen Xie was also direct, making Song Yi a little embarrassed, he originally planned to take the good wine and food into the county to entertain him, but now he had to whisper: "How about taking a step to speak?" ”

Chen Xie nodded, and the two of them went to the side, obviously feeling the expectant eyes of those "fathers and elders". Which one is this singing? Chen Xie didn't understand in his heart, but he still waited calmly for Song Yi to take the initiative to speak.

"That's the case, a few days ago, the Jiannu Iron Cavalry invaded the realm, and the Xianghe father was frightened. Just the day before yesterday, there was also a Jiannu Ranger appeared. No, since your ministry has arrived in Xianghe, you might as well live in Xianghe, what needs are there, Xianghe's fathers and elders are easy to discuss. As soon as Song Yi said this, Chen Xie understood in his heart.

After Jin marched eastward, all the units of the Ming army did not dare to go out of the city, which also led to the courage of the Houjin rangers, and thirty or fifty people dared to plunder everywhere. The Ming army shrank in the city and did not dare to come out. In fact, this matter is still related to Chen Xie, last time he was ruthless in Ba Shandu, and Duoduo was thinking about revenge on Chen Xie after cleaning up Ba Shandu. So I sent some rangers nearby, hoping to meet Chen Xie again, so that I could clean up this small unit of the Ming army that came out of nowhere.

After figuring out that this was the case, Chen Xie was secretly happy in his heart, but he said: "Lord County, my department is ordered by Lord Zhang, the chief soldier of the Dengzhou battalion, to go north to King Qin, and I still have to leave in the end." I saw that this county town would not enter, and the team camped outside the city, waiting for the Dengzhou camp to go north together. ”

Song Yixin said, if you don't go into the city, you're still making a fart, isn't it just trying to keep you in such a hard-working battle?

"Ambassador Chen, your ministry is fighting for the country, and you don't enter the city when you get to Xianghe, don't you listen to it." This product is really good, when Chen Xie passed through the Xianghe, the city gate was closed. Not to mention entering the city, passing through the official roads under the city, the city heads are like facing a great enemy, and they send people down to demand that they not harass the place.

Now it is estimated that he knows that the Ming army fought in the battle of Yongdingmen, and the Jin Tieqi will not leave the range of Beizhili for a while and a half, and he knows that he is afraid, so he must keep this army that can fight. Chen Xie suspected that as soon as he left Tongzhou, someone would come to report the news. Otherwise, how could it move so fast?

"Lord County, you might as well do so. We may stay here for a while and recuperate, but we must camp outside the city. This is a military rule and cannot be violated. If that didn't work, I had to go to Tianjin. Chen Xie said this, Song Yi had no choice but to give up, it would be meaningless to persuade again, let the people stay first.

In the end, the "fathers" left a few slaughtered pigs and a dozen sheep, and then returned to the city. Chen Xie ordered the troops to set up camp in a higher place three miles outside the city, and announced to the public that the troops were tired and rested here. (To be continued)
