Volume 2 Heroes of Troubled Times Chapter 153: Rebels (3)
Li Daoli is the same as Ling Jingyang in Tianchengwei, he just wants to guard one acre and three points of land, and he doesn't want to go to Yanmen Pass, and fight with the Qing army and the rebels. ”
He is still a rare subordinate life, and he is also a simple person, Ling Jingyang shook his arm: "Li Daoli, do you think you, the right mighty general, were played by General Li?" ”
The air was a little embarrassed, and Li Daoli was a little embarrassed, but he still didn't give up: "Isn't it better for us to guard in Wei County, just to lay a nail in the hearts of the rebels and Jiannu?" ”
Ling Jingyang analyzed the battle situation in Shanxi with him, the southern and northern parts of Shanxi are the territory of the rebels and the Qing army, and his lone army has no heavy artillery and no cavalry, even if he eats the entire Ulzhou, under the joint attack of the Qing army and the rebels, there will be no bones left to defend Ulxian County.
His subordinates were so unbearable by Ling Jingyang, Li Daoli didn't think that Ling Jingyang was looking down on him, the soldiers and horses under his command were indeed a group of armed peasants, who might be able to block the enemy's attacks once or twice, but if they were besieged by the enemy, these armed peasants were not mature enough to have the courage to fight to the death with the enemy.
"Let's go to Yanmen Pass, and then we will follow the back camp."
Li Daoli still wanted to follow the large army of the middle camp, he didn't know that the middle camp suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Qing army, and soon after, Liu Zongmin, the general of the middle camp, was also captured and killed by the Qing army, Ling Jingyang said to him: "Whether it's the rear camp, the middle camp, my stone camp or the right camp, this is our Dashun army, you mix well here in the back camp, and when you return to the middle camp in the future, maybe it will go further." ”
Li Daoli thought about it, and agreed to lead the troops to retreat with the rear camp, and the two talked for a while that the army was heavy, and the grain and grass in the stone camp could last for seven days, Li Daoli had 10,000 stones of grain and grass in Wei County, and there were 5,000 stones in Heishiling, which could last until the army rushed to Yanmen Pass, and could be stationed in Yanmen Pass for two months.
The problem of grain and grass finally no longer bothered the army, Ling Jingyang and Li Daoli talked again, if you want to make a difference, you must strengthen the army, this Li Daoli raised his hands to agree, he commanded more than 2,000 soldiers, combat effectiveness and the Ming army third-rate troops are about the same, and Ling Jingyang stone battalion troops, combat effectiveness is acceptable, but they all come from all over the world, the army is full of mountains, it takes effort to cut off the mountains, and enhance the collective honor and collective consciousness of the soldiers of the whole army.
The two chatted for a long time, and it was not until dinner that they changed into armor and came to the rear camp to attend the banquet.
Li Guo's tent is in the position of the Chinese army, and the generals above the commander of the rear camp have long been drinking here, after all, in their eyes, Li Daoli is just a right-handed powerful general, and Ling Jingyang is only a captain, so there is no need to wait for them to come to the banquet.
The two came to the banquet venue, Li Zao saw them early, and asked Gao Yigong to call the two of them, Ling Jingyang and Li Daoli came to Li Guo under the guidance of Gao Yigong, Li Guo and Li Zicheng are uncles and nephews, but they are the same as Li Zicheng, they have lived together since childhood, and they are family affection that blood is thicker than water, and Ling Jingyang saw him, as if he saw Li Zicheng.
And in 1645, after Li Zicheng went unexpectedly, it was Li Guo who carried the banner of the Dashun Army, put aside his prejudices, and fought against the Qing Dynasty with the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty until he died of illness.
Li Guo smiled and said to Ling Jingyang: "Captain Ling, what are you doing standing there, come here, come to me." ”
He asked his son Li Laiheng to place a chair on his lower left and a chair on his right side, so that Li Daoli could sit, the meaning was very clear, from now on, Ling Jingyang and Li Daoli would be his right-hand men.
Ling Jingyang and Li Daoli walked over hard, sat down, Li Guo asked the soldiers to bring wine and meat, and said to the two: "The two are really the leaders of my Dashun army, and I salute the two young talents with this cup of wine." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Guo picked up the wine glass and drank it all, Li Daoli also followed his pace, drank all the wine in the cup, Ling Jingyang was too much to drink, just took a sip, and put down the wine glass.
Li Guo looked at Ling Jingyang strangely, and was surprised that there were still people who were not good at drinking these years: "Ling Jingyang, why don't you finish drinking?" ”
Ling Jingyang's face was bitter, and Li Guo said: "General, the last general is inferior in alcohol and not good at drinking, please also ask General Haihan." ”
Li Guo did not get angry because Ling Jingyang didn't drink, but praised Ling Jingyang, saying that it was okay not to drink, at least he could keep his mind from being confused, Li Daoli hurriedly put down his right hand that was pouring wine, Li Guo looked at Li Daoli again, and said with a smile: "I didn't say you, you can drink freely tonight, continue to pour wine." ”
Li Daoli filled the wine glass again, at this time other generals came up to toast, Li Guo drank them one by one, the wine passed three rounds, Li Guo had a big tongue, he suddenly looked at Ling Jingyang, and Ling Jingyang said that there was still a vacancy in the rear camp Zuo Weiwu General, the stone camp and the rear camp could not be contacted for the time being, and it was also a wave outside, it was better for Ling Jingyang to lead the entire stone camp to become the left army of the rear camp, and Ling Jingyang would also become the left mighty general of the rear camp.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ling Jingyang meaningfully, Ling Jingyang remained silent, and said to Li Guo: "The general is very loving, and the last general is fortunate to have three lives, but there are not many soldiers in the Shiying camp at the end, and he also drags his children and daughters, I am afraid that it will consume the grain and grass of the rear camp." ”
"Haha, what kind of fart are you kid holding back, I still don't know?"
Li Guo and Ling Jingyang said that in the future, they would give Shiying 400 stone of grain and 2,000 taels of silver every month.
Ling Jingyang thought in his heart for a while, 400 stone of grain, about 40,000 kilograms, there are more than 4,000 soldiers and civilians in the stone camp, each person has half a kilogram of grain per day, which is 2,000 kilograms a day, save a little food, these grains and grasses can support the whole army for more than half a month, and the remaining grain and grass can be purchased with silver.
He readily agreed to become the left army of the rear camp, and the stone camp will be a part of the rear camp in the future, Li Guo laughed, clapped his hands in the air, and suddenly the venue of dozens of people fell silent.
All the generals looked at Li Guo one after another, Li Guo stood up very domineeringly, and introduced Ling Jingyang and Li Daoli to the generals, from now on, Li Daoli is the right mighty general of the rear camp, Ling Jingyang is the left mighty general, and all the generals and soldiers in the future are colleagues, working together to kill the enemy, there are betrayers, even if it is the end of the world, although it is far away, it will be punished.
All the generals applauded, if you want to be recognized by others in the army, you have to speak with strength, Ling Jingyang and Li Daoli have good records in Tianchengwei and Wei County, the generals of the rear camp welcome the two to become the rear camp army, Ling Jingyang also praised the harmonious atmosphere of the Dashun army, if it was in the Ming army, he and Li Daoli would have been sent to the far left and became cannon fodder army.
Li Guo then summoned the generals to sit on both sides, and the generals were also silent, waiting for Li Guo to speak, Li Guo talked to everyone about the current situation with a gloomy face, and His Majesty led the troops to retreat to Shaanxi, intending to defend the base camp in Shaanxi.
As we all know, if Shanxi is snatched away by hostile forces, with a condescending terrain, as long as Tongguan is broken, the whole of Shaanxi will be exposed to the iron hooves of the hostile forces, Shaanxi is a barren province, can not feed many people, and the grain and grass and military resources of the Dashun army will also be exhausted.
According to His Majesty's decree, the troops stationed in Henan are organizing a counterattack, and as the garrison of Shanxi, they form a corner with the Tang Tong Department stationed in Pingyang Mansion to block the Qing army east of Shanxi and wait for an opportunity to attack the rebels in Datong Province.
The generals have exchanged heads, the front camp was defeated by the Qing army, and the general Gu Kecheng was killed, which shows that the strength of the Qing army is strong, far from being comparable to the Ming army, Gao Yigong stood up and Li Guo said: "General, my department got General Ling today, General Li, two good generals, and thousands of soldiers and horses, and the last general thought that he could defend Yanmen Pass." ”
Zhang Neng sat on the lower side of Li Guo, and also stood up and said that he could defend Yanmen Pass, but it is not a long-term solution to defend Yanmen Pass, even if he guards Yanmen Pass for a month, where should he go in the future?
Many generals think that Zhang Neng is right, the strength of the rear battalion army can fight with the Qing army for a short time, but for a long time, it will definitely not be able to defeat the Qing army, and there are green battalion soldiers who fight with the Qing army.
Although Ling Jingyang is a left mighty general, there are still generals such as Zuo Guoyi General Zhang Neng, Right Guoyi General Ma Chongxi, Helan, Lu Yingbiao, Gao Yigong and other generals above him, even if they are mighty generals, they all have Zheng Weiwu generals.
He and Li Daoli didn't say a word, quietly listened to the other generals express their opinions, many generals privately did not agree with the death of the Yanmen Pass, the Dashun army in Shanhaiguan and the Qing army a battle, Yongping Mansion and the Qing army fought again, the North Zhili fought again, the Dashun army was defeated again and again, everyone felt that it was not a good way to defend to the death, especially the Qing army also has a strong artillery unit, these artillery are hugely lethal, the Dashun army also has firearms troops, but they are all formed by relying on the surrender of the Ming army, in terms of combat effectiveness, or weapons and cohesion, are far inferior to the Qing army.
Li Guo kept nodding his head, what his subordinates said made some sense, he suddenly looked at Ling Jingyang, and said to him: "General Ling, do you have any good suggestions?" ”
Ling Jingyang was thinking about the opinions of the generals with all his heart, and Leng Buding was named by Li Guo, so he quickly stood up and said to Li Guo, Zhang Neng and other generals: "My lords, the last general has little qualifications and low prestige, how dare you get an axe." ”
"Ling Jingyang, don't be modest here, my rear camp is not like those Ming troops, whoever has the ability, who will be on top, you are in Shanhaiguan, Yongping Mansion, and Miyun Town and the Qing soldiers are fighting well, our army also needs wise generals like you to give advice in Yanmen Pass, and everyone can only compete with the Qing army if they work together."
