Chapter 135: A Kind Reminder
Chapter 135: A Kind Reminder
After Qian'an was Luanzhou, and Houjin swept through the east of Beizhili. Zu Kefa stubbornly guarded Funing, and Houjin could not get Funing and turned to Shanhaiguan, and camped thirty miles away. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, when mentioning this trip to Shanhaiguan, there was only one sentence: "The deputy general Weixian and others fought hard." β
Just such a sentence, and then Huang Taiji turned around and went to the southeast, Changli, guarded, Leting, guarded. Reading the history of the Ming Dynasty so far, I can't help but make up some scenes in my mind. These three cities are not big cities, but they are just a level of county seats. However, it was held, and it was held because of resistance.
Enemy, is it really that strong?
In Chen Xie's mind, the bullshit "Jurchen is invincible", looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty, who are the people who conquered the Ming Dynasty for "my Qing Dynasty"? Interestingly, many of these people, during the Qianlong period, went to a book, which was called "The Biography of Erchen". These people are destined to be stinking for 10,000 years! It cannot but be said that this is a great victory of the traditional moral system of Chinese civilization! Even rulers like Qianlong had to compromise with this cultural and moral system.
Cao Huachun, who returned to Beijing, naturally had to go on a business trip. The dusk of the Wenhua Hall is dark and cold. Zhu Youzhen in front of the bookcase, bent over his waist, was carefully reviewing and folding. When Wang Chengen reported in a low voice, Zhu Youzhen put down his pen and said with a rare smile: "Xuan." β
Cao Huachun came in and knelt down, Chongzhen waved his hand: "Get up and speak, that Chen Sihua, how did you answer?" After Cao Huachun got up, he began to report on 1510, and the last paragraph was naturally omitted.
With Cao Huachun's narration. The expression on Chongzhen's face became vivid, and his eyes were unusually focused. Hearing that a musket costs five hundred taels of silver, he couldn't help but sigh: "Chen Sihua, thousands of regiments have practiced, I'm afraid I'm going to run out of family resources." β
Cao Huachun added in time: "Listen to him, just a few thousand people, but they can be maintained, and no matter how much they are, they can't hold on." β
"You can't chill the hearts of heroes! Oh, I want a set of tea sets as heirlooms, although this person did not grow up in the Ming Dynasty. But the heart is towards the Great Ming. It is also towards the Father. Wang Chengen, you send someone to send him about the tea set. Wang Chengen responded, and Cao Huachun smiled beside him: "Long live the lord." Look at the slave maid. Chen Sihua has made great contributions. It's better to reward him with an official position. If he doesn't want to leave Dengzhou, then he will be an official in Dengzhou, and he will not be a civil servant. It's not that exquisite. β
Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Old slave, even if Chen Sihua neglects you, he can't calculate others like this, right?" β
Cao Huachun hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minions only have Long Live Lord in their hearts, as long as they can be used by Long Live Lord, they must hold on to their ideas for Long Live Lord." The minions would never dare to have selfish motives in this matter. β
Wang Chengen secretly pouted on the side, it was strange to be selfless. You've received money from others, haven't you? Going around in circles to say good things for Chen Sihua, left and right are beneficial to Long Live Lord, who wouldn't pretend to be confused?
"Let's talk about this later." Zhu Youzhen's attitude was not obvious, but he was obviously moved. Cao Huachun retired with interest, and wiped the sweat on his forehead after coming out, and said in his heart that this is worth 30,000 taels of silver.
At the wharf in Tianjin, Zhang Keda took his men to receive the grain and salary transported by sea, and with this small means, he relied in Tianjin for nearly ten days. Hey, I can't afford it. Greed for life and fear of death is almost the common characteristic of Ming military attachΓ©s, even if Zhang Keda is not afraid of death, those people under him will not follow him to die. When the historical Dengzhou City was broken by Kong Youde, Zhang Keda killed his concubine and then hanged himself. In general, this is a military attache with a little bit of discipline.
If it weren't for this, Chen Xie wouldn't have given so much food in the first place.
The number of sea ships on the wharf is unexpected, and there are only a few dozen sea ships under the banner of Dengzhou Sailor. Dozens of other seagoing vessels were hired by the United Firm. Standing on the edge of the dock, watching a large number of materials being transferred off the ship by a boom unique to a joint firm, some of the generals around Zhang Keda had red eyes.
"Lord Commander, they are all soldiers, look at the ...... of others." As soon as a subordinate said half of it, he was glared back by Zhang Keda's eyes, and he also gave a lesson: "Don't fight these things, we can stay in Tianjin for these days, and we haven't been reprimanded by the military department, you don't know." β
As he was talking, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, Zhang Keda looked back, and immediately showed a "sincere" smile.
"Hahaha, Sihua, I finally waited for you." Still ten steps away, Zhang Keda made a sound.
Chen Xie also showed a "sincere" smile, turned over and dismounted and strode forward, and bowed his hand: "Lord General Soldier, I am looking forward to reinforcements like a great drought, and I finally see you." This is a very affectionate statement, but it doesn't sound like a good thing. When Zhang Keda was slightly embarrassed, he saw the team following behind Chen Xie, in addition to the two teams of green-skinned group exercises, there were also a bunch of soldiers carrying ash poles.
Zhang Keda's heart trembled slightly, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and the momentum of these green-skinned group exercises was completely different. It used to look neat, and now it still looks so neat, but it is an oppressive momentum that is very obvious. Tianjin is not far from Tongzhou, but he heard that Chen Xie fought a battle under the city of Tongzhou. The green-skinned group practice that saw blood has changed so much?
The leader of the white pole soldiers who was sent to Chen Xie was Ma Xianglin, and he robbed this job. If nothing else, just to eat better, and then you can go to the medics to order alcohol and water to drink.
Liu Qing, who was far away, also saw Chen Xie's banner, and immediately walked over with a group of maritime merchants, these people all made a big effort this time, and Liu Qing had to let Chen Xie know who was a reliable ally.
Don't look at Zhang Keda as the deputy commander-in-chief, he can't stand up in the face of these maritime merchants. Liu Qing, Qian Xiao, Li Heng and others who walked in front of them were all masters who didn't know how many bigwigs were standing behind them. If you don't have the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty, you should be an ornament?
After the meeting, he was polite, Zhang Keda didn't put on a stand of the general army, and a mere Tianjin magistrate dared to turn him away. The military generals of this period are really nothing, especially Tianjin, which is far away from the war. In fact, the distance is not far, but civil officials are this virtue, and there are too many people who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin. In peacetime, military generals are not treated as people, and when they fight, they have to let people die. This phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty is too peculiar.
Although a large number of laborers were gathered to unload the goods, there were too many goods this time, and they could not be finished in a day. Chen Xie ordered the troops to set up camp, and set up a banquet in the camp to entertain all the maritime merchants, as well as a military general of the Dengzhou battalion.
The wine was transported from Dengzhou, Chen Xie and Zhang Keda were at a separate table, and no one else called it. Ma Xianglin and a group of generals from the Dengzhou battalion had a table of wine. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Zhang Ke said in a low voice: "Sihua, I have heard about the battle in Tongzhou." β
Chen Xie smiled and said nothing, Zhang Keda was anxious, the young man in front of him could be said to be changing every day. From a doctor at the beginning, to a first-class family in Dengzhou now, there is a team training team that can fight, and it is not Zhang Keda's master at all.
"Jiannu is just like that, the platoon shoots past, and the front and back eyes are still the same." Even if Chen Xie's casual words were brought over, Zhang Ke didn't dare, and hurriedly said, "Sihua, do you have any news from the east?" I heard that Luanzhou has been captured, and Houjin is besieging Leting and Changli. If these two counties fall, the tip of Houjin's knife will be in Tianjin's throat. β
"This matter shouldn't be in your or my heart, Dengzhou Camp should hurry up and go to Jingshi. Don't look back and want to go, you won't be able to go. Chen Xie kindly reminded him, and Zhang Ke thought so. Tianjin Governor County is not allowed to enter the city, that is a matter in front of him, if you really want Houjin to take Changli, will you let you go? At that time, Tianjin was much more dangerous than Jingshi.
"Thank you Sihua for reminding me, early tomorrow morning, I will send troops to Beijing." Zhang Keda is still very eye-catching. Chen Xie said again: "When I arrive in Tongzhou, there is a governor of Baoding, stay in a different place, and there is a big man to carry if something goes wrong." β
"Taught!" Zhang Keda thanked him again, and Chen Xie smiled and began to change the topic. If history does not change much, Huang Taiji is going to turn back and fight the three rivers and drops, and Haoge ran to the Xianghe River and cut off the canal. gave Huang Taiji a chance to retreat calmly and create a zΓ o. In fact, even if Haoge does not fight Xianghe, the main force of Houjin will retreat, and the Ming army will only watch. At this time, the situation on the front line of Shanhaiguan is not known here. had to wait until the main forces of the Houjin were withdrawn, and Sun Chengzong sent the dead soldiers to walk along the coast, and the news came out that knowing that the main forces of the Houjin were gone, a group of Ming troops dared to dispatch.
The 200,000 army, bullying the more than 15,000 left by Huang Taiji, can be regarded as having some courage. It can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the history of world wars.
Full of wine and food, Zhang Keda led his troops to say goodbye and prepared to go on the road overnight. Chen Xie was not idle here, and the equipment needed by the five hundred white-pole soldiers was all transported with the ship this time. 200 rifles and 800 simplified plate armor are all equipment tailored by Chen Xie for the white pole soldiers.
Chen Xie planned to use the plate armor for his own group training, and by the way, let the blacksmiths practice. Unexpectedly, after the second battle, Chen Xie found that the plate armor might not have room to play, and he caught up with the appearance of the white pole soldiers, and there was a place to use it again.
The simplified version of the plate armor is actually an arched steel plate with an iron helmet. The requirements are not high, just block the front. This thing is not used at all for regimental training in stab-proof suits, relying on long-range firepower. The white pole soldiers are different, 400 people put on plate armor to protect the 100 musketeers in the middle, this is a Ming version of a Spanish phalanx.
The Spanish phalanx has stood the test of history, and the Spaniards have achieved a hegemony by sweeping Europe with this. In short, if the white pole soldiers play this well, they will definitely explode "my Daqing". (To be continued......)
