Chapter 176: Fist Troops
In this way, under the personal leadership of Wei Zheng, the political commissar system, hundreds of years in advance, appeared in the Ming Dynasty.
However, before this political commissar system was officially implemented and on the right track, a problem that Wei Zheng had to face had already befallen Wei Zheng and the entire Datong Mansion.
"The Shaanxi rebels are ready to send troops to Datong Mansion......"
Looking at the information in his hand, Wei Zheng asked Zhou Chenguang, the head of the scout camp in front of him, with a worried face: "Mr. Zhou Qian, the time you sent back is a full ten days earlier than the time we originally estimated, so long, is it possible that the rebels in Shaanxi are ready." Is it possible that this news you brought back was wrong......"
Zhou Chenguang shook his head and affirmed: "My lord, there is absolutely no problem with the content of the intelligence. This is what our scout battalion learned from a high-ranking officer in the rebels. ”
Seeing the puzzled expression that quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face, Zhou Chenguang hurriedly explained: "My lord, the Shaanxi rebels are not Tartars. Their external vigilance was not even two layers of Tartar, and the scouts sent out by our scout battalion easily blended into the rebel headquarters with little effort. ”
"After spending some money, we invited a rebel officer to have a meal in the restaurant, and we got all the information we wanted. It can be said that there is no difficulty......"
"According to what this rebel officer said, a very important reason why they want to attack our Datong Mansion without preparation is that they are stimulated by our army expansion."
"They want to sabotage our army expansion, and even take Datong Mansion before the garrison of Datong Mansion that we have just expanded is really ready to fight. Open the gates for them to attack the city of Beijing......"
Wei Zheng said with a look of approval: "It seems that the commander-in-chief of this rebel army is still impatient. I know the truth of taking advantage of the void. ”
After seeing the worry in front of you. His face was calm again, and he was even a little relaxed. Zhou Chenguang became worried, and asked anxiously at Wei Zheng.
"Your Excellency, aren't you worried?"
"In this attack on Datong Mansion, this bone rebel army sent not an army with a large number of displaced people, but 10,000 people equipped with weapons and wallets, the strongest elite among tens of thousands of rebels."
"Their purpose is very clear, they intend to rely on this elite. With lightning speed, they quickly attacked Datong Mansion and forced us to fight a decisive battle with them immediately, without giving us any time to prepare, and a quick victory......"
"I am worried that once they are allowed to invade Datong Mansion, the more than 10,000 garrisons of Datong Mansion who have just completed the expansion of the army will not be the opponent of the elite of this 10,000 rebel army. After all, more than seventy percent of our Datong Mansion garrison is recruits who have just taken up arms. ”
Wei Zheng nodded approvingly and replied: "The more than 10,000 Datongfu garrisons are indeed not the opponents of the elite of the tens of thousands of rebels. But. Don't forget, in addition to the more than 10,000 Datong garrisons, we also have a fist force of almost 4,000 people......"
"We, the Haw Par Army, have been in Datong Mansion for half a month. In order to better consolidate the position of me and the Haw Par Army in Datong Province, we must use a real battle to show the people of Datong Province the strong strength of our Haw Par Army. And the battle that is about to break out in front of us is an opportunity for our Tiger and Leopard Army to completely Yang Wei in Datong Mansion. ”
Zhou Chenguang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "General, I can say for sure that as long as our Tiger and Leopard Army comes out, the whole battle will become a one-sided massacre. ”
"Compared to the Tartars, the Tartars' powerful mounted shooting can also bring us damage. And according to what I know about this rebel army, even if they are the elite of tens of thousands of rebels, in terms of equipment, they are not as good as us, and even ordinary officers and soldiers......"
"Among the tens of thousands of rebel elites, the only one that can bring us casualties is a thousand-man squad all armed with muskets and dozens of artillery pieces that have captured Shaanxi officials and soldiers. As long as we wipe out these two forces, the remaining few thousand rebels who are only armed with cold weapons will no longer be able to threaten us, and will only be slaughtered by our muskets and artillery on the battlefield......"
"That's right, as long as the Tiger and Leopard Army is the fist force in hand, it will be okay to take down 10,000 rebel elites." Wei Zheng confidently agreed.
Then, he ordered to Zhou Chenguang: "Mr. Zhou Qian, your news is very timely. Now I command you to urgently send troops to monitor the movements of this rebel army. As soon as there is any movement, report it to me immediately. ”
"Since we want to fight, let's fight a very perfect battle in front of all the people of Datong ......Mansion, and fiercely deter the arrogance of the Shaanxi rebels, so that they will never dare to enter our Datong Mansion casually again."
"The Last General Commands ......"
At the headquarters of the Shaanxi rebel army, several middle-aged people wearing captured official armor are gathering in the county hall to enjoy food and discuss military affairs.
Seeing that the dozen or so leaders in front of him did not take Datong Mansion in their eyes, they sat in the first place under the hall and the only strategist in the hall who did not wear armor, and reminded the commander-in-chief of the rebel army on the main seat of the hall:
"Dashuai, as far as I know, the newly appointed general soldiers of Datong Mansion are very powerful, and when they were locked up, they defeated the Tartars many times. In particular, an army called the Haw Par Army under his command, each of whom held several Tartar lives in his hands, was very powerful. You see, in our attack on Datong Mansion, should we be cautious? ”
Before the marshal on the throne could speak, a general in the hall shouted with an arrogant face: "Strategist, you are too ambitious and have destroyed your own prestige......
"The newly appointed chief soldier of Datong Mansion is powerful, and our commander is also powerful. Otherwise, along the way, how could so many soldiers sent by the imperial court die at the hands of our marshal......"
"Besides, we all know what kind of virtue the imperial court is. A small military exploit, when it reaches the imperial court, will definitely be bluffed out of the court. ”
"So, in my opinion, this newly appointed chief soldier of Datong Mansion is definitely not as powerful as we imagined."
After the general finished speaking, the face of the handsome man on the main seat was covered with a thick smile. Then he spoke: "General Li is right, I also feel this way, this Datong Mansion general soldier is blown out by the imperial court." ”
"I have two reasons here."
"First, if the general army of Datong Mansion is really so powerful, then the decision to expand the army before the war will not be made."
"We all know that the expansion of the army before the war, on the surface, although there are many troops. But in fact, the combat effectiveness of the troops has not only not been improved, but also weakened to a certain extent due to the addition of a large number of new soldiers. (To be continued......)
