Chapter 254: A Man Without a Beard is a Good Man
The corpses everywhere on the battlefield did not bring much discomfort to Gao Qiqian, but made him feel relaxed and happy, as if he was a hero of the Fubao Society.
After all, it is the military department of the inner court, and it has been two or three years since he led the imperial horse supervisor and the Beijing camp, and he has participated in several large and small wars, compared to those who have never been out of the deep palace and can only talk about the soldiers on paper, the ability to raise and dive is still very outstanding, especially for the military, with a keen observation and decisiveness that ordinary people can't match, otherwise he would not have won the emperor's trust and entrusted with important tasks just by calling them twice.
To be fair, after leading the army out of Beijing to quell the rebellion in October, Gao Qiqian really wanted to do something big, but the incompetence of the Beijing camp hit his pride again and again. Therefore, on the one hand, he did not want to lose everything he had today because of defeat, but on the other hand, it also showed his keen judgment of the situation and the advantages and disadvantages of both sides of the enemy.
If you want to defeat the Kong Youde rebels with the Dongjiang Liao soldiers as the main force, you have to have the same roots of the Liaodong Army, which has been deeply rooted in Gao Qiqian's mind. The performance of the Jinzhou army made him firmly believe that his choice was not wrong, hundreds of people have such excellent combat power, let alone 5,000 people.
Looking at the strong army of Liaodong with bright armor, a self-confidence that has never been stronger than when he first came out of Beijing burned in Gao Qidun's chest, and he couldn't wait to swing his army to Denglai and fight Kong Youde to the death!
Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures!
The eldest husband was born to lead the army and dominate the world, our family wants to let the world know the Tao, although we and other eunuchs are the generation of children and grandchildren, but the heart of serving the country and killing the enemy is not inferior to anyone!
I want to let those officials in the court know that there are those who can write in the inner court, and there are even more people who can fight! The Ming Dynasty is not only defended by the bearded, but also by the beardless ones, we can also protect the Ming Dynasty!
The snowflakes falling in the wind fell on his cloak, slowly condensing, black and white, and with his tall figure, it was very eye-catching in this wilderness
Infected by the victory, all the cavalry of the brave guard battalion guarding Gao Qiqian also unconsciously straightened up, gathered around, vigilantly looked at the battlefield that had not yet been cleaned, and looked at the corpse of the thief from time to time, lest someone who was still alive suddenly burst out and hurt Gonggong Gao.
This battle is the first battle won by the officers and soldiers since the Confucian thief Wuqiao uprising, only to see it from afar, the rebels are artillery, cavalry and foot soldiers besieged, the fight is not tragic, at first glance it is the elite main force of the rebels, if it is not for the Jinzhou army to fight bravely, I am afraid that the Liao army will throw in, this battle may not be won.
Not only the people of the Yongwei Battalion who have this idea, but even Gao Qiqian's cronies, Bai Shangyi, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, also think so.
Although he was beaten by Shi Dayong's board and hated him to the core, he still affirmed the performance of the Jinzhou Army. Peeked at the corner of Gao Gonggong's mouth There was also a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but step forward and said with a smile: "No wonder my father-in-law is thinking about these generals in Jinzhou, and the slave maid didn't take it to heart at the beginning, thinking that my father-in-law made a big fuss, no matter how strong the Jinzhou army is, it can at most be compared with the Yongwei Battalion of our Beijing Battalion, but now it seems that it is much stronger than the Yongwei Battalion."
The battle of Shahe, they all thought that Shi Dayong was going to end, but he didn't know that he won the battle with less and more, but at that time, the slaves and maids said that this guy won a fluke, there were many thieves and soldiers, and there were few elite soldiers, so he picked up a big bargain, if his father-in-law led the troops, he would definitely be able to take Shahe smoothly. But today's battle is really hard, not hiding it from the father-in-law, the slave and maid were afraid of it before, thinking that the Jinzhou army would definitely be wiped out, but who thought that he Shi Dayong would hold it again. ”
Bai Shangyi didn't mention the plan of "borrowing a knife to kill people" he offered, and he didn't say anything bad about Shi Dayong and the Jinzhou army, and he didn't forget to compliment him when he arrived, "But if it weren't for the father-in-law who immediately came to the rescue, his Jinzhou army would definitely not be able to hold it. If he can really fight, why should we rescue him? This head must be credited to the father-in-law, hehe. ”
No, Bai Shangyi's compliment didn't get the effect he wanted, Gao Qiqian didn't smile happily, but turned his face sideways, and said unhappily: "In this battle, it's good for our family to command well, but the soldiers' lives are the key, this priority can't be reversed in any case, this head must be recorded on the heads of the soldiers, how can it be recorded on our heads?" Don't talk nonsense anymore, people still think that I want to rob the soldiers of their military merits. ”
"Yes, yes, my father-in-law reminded me." Bai Shangyi did not doubt that he was there, and his heart was only modest, and he was a little excited and said: "I don't know what kind of happiness the emperor will be after this good news arrives in Beijing." ”
"The Holy One is naturally happy." Thinking of the appearance of the saint after seeing the good news, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but be happy, but said to Bai Shangyi with a solemn face: "Actually, our family didn't expect that the man here under the command of Jin Zongbing was so good at fighting, and I just saw it with my own eyes, Jin Zongbing took the lead, and rushed into the thief army first, and the iron hooves arrived, like a knife cutting tofu, invincible, and the tens of thousands of thieves were unrivaled, and he was really a rare general!" Oh, yes, and the ancestral family of Liaodong, who is also very heroic, especially the young general Wu Sangui, who is really a father, worthy of being a general, powerful, amazing, when our family is on the table, we have to give them a smile, so that the emperor is also happy. ”
"This?"
Gao Qiqian said it well, but Bai Shangyi was confused, it was obvious that Shi Dayong led the Jinzhou army to fight with the rebels, how could it be that in the mouth of Gao Gonggong, it became that Jin Guoqi and the ancestral family were fighting bravely against the rebels?
"What is this? What our family has seen with our own eyes, can it still be fake? Gao Qiqian snorted unhappily, and then turned his head away and ignored Bai Shangyi.
The latter was stunned for dozens of seconds before he instantly came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the slave is stupid, this battle was indeed won by the general army of Lai Jin and the ancestral family of Liaodong, and it was definitely not fought by the Jinzhou army that was on the verge of battle!" Hmph, the father-in-law must take a good look at his Shi Dayong, this son has no royal law, disregards the national discipline, since he went south, he does not want to be loyal to the king, but instead arson and plunder, return fire and friendly troops, and kill good and risky people, real wolf ambitions, great rebellion, for such thieves, the court must severely punish them! It's not an exaggeration to kill his head! ”
He said so much, but Gao Qiqian didn't listen to a word, and his eyes were falling on the knights galloping towards him on horseback in the east.
He knew that Jin Guoqi was here.
