Section 6 Ministers

Sun Chengzong said this sentence completely out of good intentions, and now that Huangshi is like the rising sun, his prestige has resounded in the sea, and Huangshi is still an advocate of attacking Yaozhou, and has the experience of fighting hard with Houjin many times in the past four years.

But this kind truth made Guan Ning's general Ma Shilong's face change slightly, and when he spoke, there was also a little anger in his tone: "Although the last general of Lord Sun is stupid, his ancestors have been border generals for hundreds of years...... The last general is courageous, and the last general is confident that he still knows a little bit of the art of war. ”

Ma Shilong said a few simple words over and over again, but Sun Chengzong had already understood the core meaning. This Ma Zongbing is obviously dissatisfied with Sun Chengzong's admiration for a person who was born as a small soldier. Moreover, Sun Chengzong has long heard of this dissatisfaction, and it is already deeply rooted in the Guanning army. These Liaoxi generals always feel that the Dongjiang Army is a bit of a burst of households, starting from Mao Wenlong, they are all a bunch of mud legs who don't know where they came from.

"Lord Sun is ......," Ma Shilong said, and the heartache became more and more impassioned.

"No, what you mean, Motobu do, I see. Sun Chengzong raised his hand to stop Ma Shilong from continuing, after all, the 160,000 Guan Ning army was built by him with more than three years of hard work, and this army made him feel like his own son Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong was so tired from equipping this army with weapons and begging for salaries that his head turned white, and he also hoped that this army would be able to make a difference: "Just do what you want." ”

"Lord Xie Sun. Ma Shilong clenched his fists, but he was still unhappy for a while.

After returning to his camp, Ma Shilong quickly summoned his lieutenant Lu Zhijia: "Send Xizuo to live in the area of Sancha River, Niangniang Palace, Yaozhou and Polo Vortex in Liaodong. ”

Lu Zhijia was stunned when he heard this: "My lord, we are going to send troops to Liaodong?"

"It's good to raise soldiers for a thousand days. Ma Shilong briefly introduced the explanation given to him by Sun Chengzong, and suddenly let out a long sigh: "Vice General Lu will hand over the army to you this time." You have to fight for the general and the Guan Ning army. ”

"Lord Xie trusts the last general, and he dares to do his best. And then the ...... of death"

"Shut up. ”

Ma Shilong broke off his drink, and then spat on the ground fiercely: "Don't say the word 'death', don't mention the word 'death' from now until you go to the expedition." ”

"The last will obey. After Lu Zhijia agreed, he remembered Ma Shilong's sigh just now, so he took a step closer and said, "Your Excellency, the last general dares to ask, but is there anything unpleasant, or is Lord Sun dissatisfied with our Guan Ning Army?"

"Oh, isn't it that Huangshi?" Ma Shilong sat down in a chair, and reached out to grab his teacup and wanted to drink saliva. But when I lifted the lid of the bowl, there was not much left, and the little water left was cold. Ma Shilong was furious and shouted: "Come on, where are you dead?" Come and change the tea for Ben. ”

After the explosion, Ma Shilong suddenly deflated again. He pressed his hand and motioned for Lu Zhijia to sit down and speak: "Brother Lu, you know that my family has been a general for hundreds of years. Today, Master Sun actually asked me to ask that Huangshi to learn how to fight from him. ”

Before the words were finished, Lu Zhijia was already angry. He himself is also a military general for generations, and his family has told him about his ancestors' martial arts since he was a child. Although there have been no wars in Liaoxi for a hundred years, they are the descendants of good generals after all. What kind of thing is Huangshi? Lu Zhijia was a little dissatisfied with Sun Chengzong in his heart, but in the past three years, Old Sun Tou has personally worked on their military generals in Liaoxi. They were also very admiring in their hearts, so they could naturally only scold Huang Shi in their mouths: "Huang Shi is just a homeless man who joined the army, does he also know the art of war?"

"What a war hum. I don't know if I can read or write. Ma Shilong felt that it was unlikely that a stinky person would be able to afford books.

"Isn't Huangshi a merchant from Kaiyuan?" Lu Zhijia said that it was Huangshi's forged resume, anyway, Kaiyuan was slaughtered by Nurhachi, and more than 100,000 Han people were all filled in the ditch. Huang Shi felt that there was no proof of death.

"Hmph, what kind of merchant is a place to eat. It's the same as the general soldier of their Dongjiang River. After Ma Shilong finished speaking, he laughed, and Lu Zhijia also laughed happily on the side. More than 20 years ago, Mao Wenlong was a fortune teller, a part-time beggar, and asked for food all the way, and after arriving in Liaodong, he joined Li Chengliang's family. Later, Mao Wenlong struggled for several years to accumulate merit in the frontier, changed back to his original surname, and returned to his hometown in Hangzhou to marry his wife. Because Mao Wenlong knows two words, he has been boasting everywhere that he is a Confucian student, and in Dongjiang Town, naturally no one has exposed Mao Dashuai's little vanity, but it has long become a joke in other towns. The hereditary generals naturally looked down on Mao Wenlong, a guy from the grassroots, and the officers in Dongjiang Town were all tyrants in their eyes.

After laughing, Ma Shilong sighed with a complicated face: "Don't you say that Huangshi is quite brave and has repeatedly broken the slaves. ”

The last general also heard about it. This guy is six feet tall, and when he goes into battle, he must be equipped with a knife and a sword, and he likes to rush to kill in front, and he will kiss the Jiannu white soldiers in each battle. Well......" Lu Zhijia recalled the Tang newspaper he had seen, and there were some things in it that impressed him deeply: "In the Battle of Gaizhou, Huangshi led an army of 2,000 people, and in the end, there were only more than 100 casualties, but his arm was broken. It's a shame that he's still a general. ”

"A horseman is just a very brave horseman. But now he is also a lieutenant general, and this puppet has just cut himself into the governor of Tongzhi by chopping. Thinking that a wild boar-type general can also be on the same level as himself, Ma Shilong has indescribable feelings.

Lu Zhijia on the side was even more angry in his heart, he, the deputy general of Guan Ning, was the deputy governor (Tongzhi), he slapped his thigh and shouted: "My lord, rest assured, the last general knows that one person also has the courage of ten thousand people." I will take him with me at the end of this expedition. ”

"But Li Chengxian of the Gun Battalion?"

"Your Excellency, Wise is exactly this person. The three generations of ancestors of his family are all powerful, and they are all one of the best men in western Liaoning. When he spoke, Lu Zhijia grinned and gave a thumbs up.

"Well, Li Chengxian's martial arts general has also heard of it, and it is said that he can fire ten stone bows twenty times in a row, and can also approve heavy armor and wield a long lance, and he is familiar with military books and proficient in the art of war since he was a child. ”

"Exactly. ”

Ma Shilong is a general, a pioneer, and he has it. Next is the issue of troops: "Lord Sun wants to attack Yaozhou." The strength of Jiannu there has always been weak, and it is estimated that it is one Niu Lu or half Niu Lu. After confirmation, Ben will give you a car artillery battalion and a water battalion, which will be handed over to Li Chengxian to command. ”

"Where did you use so many troops?" Lu Zhijia said disappreciatively: "My lord, it is enough to give me a water battalion, and I don't need to use the cart and artillery battalion." ”

There are 1,000 sailors in a water battalion, and Lu Zhijia heard that there are only a few hundred people after the opponent is added, and he already despises them in his heart. It feels like a water camp has already tried to kill chickens with knives.

"Otherwise," Ma Shilong shook his head, this battle was the first battle of the Guanning Army in more than three years of training, and he desperately hoped for a good start: "You bring a car artillery battalion to go, if you go along with it." Ma Shilong slapped the table and made the tea bowl fly: "You will take down Gaizhou for Benjiang." ”

"Gaizhou?"

"Exactly," Ma Shilong had already inquired in detail about the weapons of the fire battalion: "Huangshi's troops also have two thousand soldiers in one battalion, except for the better armor. The rest is insignificantβ€”" Ma Shilong waved his hand, and at the same time, his tone showed contempt on his face: "Huangshi has more than 1,500 cheapest pikemen, as well as 500 short-handed musketeers, and the short-range soldiers are not even worthy of shields. ”

Haha, it seems that Jiannu is exhausted. Lu Zhijia laughed heartily, he felt that Gaizhou was not a very distant problem.

"I heard that there are still cannons in Huangshi," Ma Shilong's face became even more sarcastic: "But there are only six guns, which are said to be the largest ones that are similar to the little general's cannons." ”

A cavalry artillery battalion of the Guanning Army also had 2,000 soldiers, but the Guanning Army mainly emphasized firepower rather than hand-to-hand combat ability, which Huangshi emphasized. A battalion of vehicles and artillery is equipped with 300 combat vehicles of various types and 90 cannons. The smallest of these cannons was a half-pounder Tiger squat cannon. The largest was the eighteen-pounder Hongyi cannon. Each artillery battalion was also equipped with 1,100 three-eyed, five-eyed, and seven-eyed firearms, 1,100 bird guns, and hundreds of Ming troops, hoping that with these firearms, they could form a barrage of hand-to-hand combat. In addition, each artillery battalion was equipped with 500 shields to protect the gunners and gunners...... Of course, there is no such bargain as a long gun.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the end will definitely take Gaizhou. Lu Zhijia patted his thighs and chest, and stood up high: "Don't break the Jiannu, recover the end of the state, and never come back to see the army!"

In fact, the Guanning military regulations are the standard for avoiding hand-to-hand combat as much as possible, and the iron cavalry battalion of the Guanning Army is 1,000 cavalry soldiers, but each battalion is equipped with more than 600 guns, ranging from three to seven eyes. The cavalry of the Iron Cavalry Battalion also had more than thirty guns. Sun Chengzong's idea of building the army was to rely on artillery to provide the main lethality, and the fire gun was responsible for covering the artillery. Huang Shi has always felt that this line of thinking is contrary to Wei Jiguang's line of thought. Wei Jiguang's book of war, the most emphasis is on hand-to-hand combat ability, and various long-range weapons are also auxiliary, such as Qi Jiguang's car battalion, where the sword and shield hands carry three javelins on their backs, and after throwing them at the enemy formation, they have to pounce on the white soldiers to fight.

Huang Shi remembered that Qi Jiguang's hand-to-hand infantry fought all over the world, invincible opponents, and fought against the Japanese for several years. Wei Jiguang killed more than 20,000 people, and he died no more than 400 in battle. Later, Qi Jiguang went to northern Xinjiang to fight Mongolia, and the exchange ratio between his chariot battalion and the "Mongolian Iron Cavalry" was also maintained at 1:40 to 1:50 all year round. Huang Shi knew that he didn't have Qi Jiguang's kind of genius, but compared with Sun Chengzong, a civil servant, he was still more inclined to adopt Qi Jiguang's training ideas, after all, Qi Shaobao Rongma was invincible in his life. And...... Hand-to-hand infantry is also cheap. The car and artillery battalion of the Guanning Army required 90 cannons, countless horses and chariots for one battalion. Huangshi can't afford to sell his underwear.

......

At the end of May of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Changsheng Island.

"Fellow parishioners, please let us pray for the Liao people under the iron hooves of Jiannu. After speaking, Zhang Zaidi closed his eyes. He had just finished a speech on denouncing Nurhachi's crimes.

The people in the house...... Even Huangshi closed his eyes. Now that there are holidays on Changsheng Island, it is unlikely that Huangshi will do it in black and white, so now we will start to try out the responsibility system - you can get off work or have a holiday when you are done. The effect seems to be good, and the enthusiasm of workers has been greatly improved. Huangshi has just appeared, there used to be a lot of work to do in a day, in fact, it can be done in half a day, and now the labor quota has been increased by fifty percent, but most people can still finish their work and go home before dark.

Silence...... Didn't he pray for a while, and then said loudly, "Okay brothers. God will punish the boar skin for its crimes against humanity, and we will be able to please God by fighting the boar skin. ”

"Next up is Japan. The people there lived in misery...... Duncan began a new sermon in which he spoke eloquently about how the cruel Tokugawa shogunate in Japan persecuted the peasants. The Japanese peasants had to throw their sons to death on the threshold because of insufficient food rations, but the Japanese feudal lords at all levels lived an arrogant and lascivious life -- Huangshi copied some stories in the interior, including the white-haired girl, without any new ideas, but the characters were replaced by the Japanese feudal lord Momotaro and the maiden cherry Maruko.

"Our expeditionary force will bring water and bread to the peasants of Japan...... Not bean paddles and rice. The expeditionary force in Duncan's mouth is the group of robbers led by Yang Zhiyuan, and about half of the army of more than 1,000 people are recruits who go to participate in actual combat. They would do a little trimming up on Jeju Island and then board the town that Yoocheongyang bought6.

The Changsheng Island Water Camp and the Changshan Island Water Camp who participated in the transportation felt that when the eldest brother ate meat, he had to give the most obedient younger brother a bowl of soup to drink. Huang Shi also repeatedly confessed that Yang Zhiyuan was only showing off force this time, not military action. Therefore, the attack on Choshu must be done in moderation, and the Choshu domain must not be weakened to the point of being eaten by the Japanese shogunate.

"Catholics, let us pray for the Japanese peasants and for our heroic expeditionary force. ”

Brainwashing Day ...... The morning of the non-Sunday is spent in various speeches, and now the people involved in the prayer will go to lunch first, and an hour later, people will come back to continue the brainwashing...... Don't pray.

Huang Shi has not eaten in the cafeteria for the past few days, he rolled the dough and left as he did a few days ago, and when he went out, he did not forget to tell the internal guards: "You leave me to walk alone." ”

Riding a horse to Changsheng Island, a "farm" by the sea, he burned the surface of many wooden sticks into charcoal, and took advantage of the low tide to plant them on the seabed not far away. After a period of time, these sticks can give birth to oysters.

Huang Shi jumped off his horse and threw the cake to the man who came to greet him, and the man smiled and pressed the steaming cake: "General Huang is really a believer. ”

Huang Shi also smiled and said: "I am the prince of Daming, will I lose my trust to a little girl?"

The little woman's face was slightly red, and then she smiled: "The dignified prince and the young prince of the second grade, the important minister of the state, invite someone to eat multigrain flour cakes?"

Huang Shi didn't feel sorry for him, he laughed twice, and he couldn't say anything...... In fact, there is nothing in the end of the Ming Dynasty, but every time he talks to this girl, he has a deep sense of shame. After all, the age difference between the two is too big, if he was not laughed at and scolded as a beast in his previous life, he would also be ridiculed by his friends to the point of cripplement. So the reason why Huangshi came here is that no one wants to sue SΓΉ, and he doesn't even bring an internal guard.

The girl happily nibbled on the broken cake a few days earlier in the cafeteria where Yellowstone had spilled the food she was going to take home...... Of course, the girl immediately recognized the big man in front of her, and she didn't say a word of nonsense at that time, and while sobbing, she retrieved the food from the land and returned to the basket, not sparing even the grains of rice stained with dirt.

Guilty, Huang Shi sent someone to check the origin of this girl, and it turned out that her brother who depended on her for life was also an auxiliary soldier. The brother and sister's parents died, and they were born in a merchant family and had no strength, so the girl could only do the work of watching sea news and standing idle. The food quota of their brother and sister is the lowest on Everlife Island.

Although Huang Shi carefully hid behind the girl, and kept feeling that the other party's eyes were forward, and did not notice his gaze, the girl suddenly choked when she ate the cake, and her face turned red for no reason. Huang Shi, who had a ghost in his heart, quickly looked away...... On the way back to the old camp, he looked left and right and made sure that there was no one nearby, and then ran back to the old camp. When he arrived at the old camp, Li Yunrui, who had been waiting at the door for a long time before he got off the horse, ran over and grabbed his reins: "My lord, Guerrilla Yang, has news." ”

"Well, it's time for news. Huang Shi snorted in satisfaction. As soon as Yang Zhiyuan was released, he was like a wild horse who was happy, and when he arrived at Jeju Island, he sent a herald to report that he was safe, but after that, there was no news. This has made Huangshi very anxious lately. The three-month recruit drill on Changsheng Island would soon be over, and if Yang Zhiyuan's army could not return in time, Huangshi's Fuzhou offensive would not be launched on time.

"I went to the cafeteria to look for the adults just now, but I didn't find it. Li Yunrui has always liked to block people at meals, and he is a little strange now: "The adults didn't even bring the internal guards when they went out." ”

"Well, I went to the beach and walked away. ”

"Your Excellency is so interested. Li Yunrui happily praised Huang Shi's whereabouts, he didn't have to explain to him at all, and he was very proud to see that his boss valued him so much.

On the side, Huang Shi turned his head and peeked at Li Yunrui with a weak heart, and the two people in front of him and behind him quickly walked into the old camp. When the people saw Huang Shi come in, the messenger sent by Yang Zhiyuan immediately greeted him, but Huang Shi had not had time to speak. A long, stout man jumped out from behind the crowd. This man, a hungry tiger, was already lying at the feet of this Ming important minister before the internal guards caught him, and a series of fluent Chinese gushed out: "Contemptible small state, Changzhou feudal lord shou follow Xinji, today I can see the prince of the Heavenly Empire, Lord Shaobao, and he is terrified. ”
