Chapter Twenty-Seven
"It's unreliable, it's not easy to say these things now, just wait, just let him be His Majesty the Son of Heaven to see if the life in Liaodong is good."
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Bi Zisu said, but it is exactly to the point.
The Second Brigade of the First Division of the Tianhu Army suffered a lot as soon as it was opened, and all kinds of roads within the Beijing Division have been significantly improved as Zhu Youzhen continued to absorb displaced people to build them after he had money in his hands.
But as soon as they left the capital, they were miserable, and the army encountered not only the cold wind of winter, but also the uneven road that had not been repaired for a long time.
The Second Brigade of the First Division, which relied heavily on logistical supplies and baggage troops, was a headache, but fortunately, thanks to the continuous assistance of the Second Independent Brigade along the way, the Tianhu Army was sent to Yuan Chonghuan.
Between Ningyuan Pass and Guanning Pass, although it seems close on the map, it seems that it can be reached by raising your hand.
But in fact, walking is not like that, not to mention that there is no shortage of Tartar spies along the way.
It happened that Ningyuan Pass was going to transport grain and grass to Guanning Pass along the secret military grain route, and Yuan Chonghuan, who felt that this matter was right, simply merged the two groups of people into one share.
On the one hand, it can allow the Tianhu Army to serve as a safety guarantee for the grain and grass team on the way to transport grain and grass, and on the other hand, it can also keep secrets to the greatest extent, allowing the Tianhu Army to quietly enter the Guanning Pass.
Suddenly, the decision made with a tap of his head perfectly skipped Bi Ziyin, who was in charge of the grain and grass escort.
After all, since Haoge left, Bi Ziyin, who leaked the grain to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, showed that nothing had happened as if he had no heart or lungs.
I don't want to show up all day long in the house, on the one hand, it's to hide people's eyes, you see how can I suspect me if I haven't even come out of the door?
If it weren't for Bi Zisu and Yuan Chonghuan having to honor each other in Liaodong affairs, Yuan Chonghuan would really want to raise a knife and cut this waste.
To live is to waste the army's hard-won food and grass.
After the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division of the Tianhu Army, which was immediately mobilized, joined Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan ordered the Tianhu Army to accept the entire grain transportation team, the purpose of which was to allow the Tianhu Army to rush to the aid of Guanning Pass.
What's more important is to send this precious supply of grain and grass, after all, no one knows how long this Emperor Taiji wants to knock on the pass, let alone how long Bi Zisu can carry it.
Balmy autumn day... is talking about Jiangnan, and the current Liaodong is already in winter.
The army was marched over the grain road, and Mongt was appointed temporary commander of the troops.
Although the overall battle sequence of the Tianhu Army was independent from the original Ming army, Zhu Youzhen still handed over the issue of commander to Yuan Chonghuan.
After all, Meng Tuo only hung up the rank of brigade commander this time, and if a division commander went to this station, Yuan Chonghuan estimated that he would be a little frightened.
Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan, as one of the officials currently commanding the overall situation in Liaodong, can order the Tianhu Army, but there is no problem in this regard.
It's just that before leaving, as Zhu Youzhen said, the Tianhu Army sent troops to Liaodong this time, firstly, to aid Bi Zisu in Guanning Pass, and secondly, to train troops.
What kind of soldiers are being trained, what are the elite soldiers of the Tianhu Army, and whose soldiers are the elite soldiers of the Tianhu Army.
Naturally, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the soldier of Zhu Youzhen, who listened to the command of Yuan Chonghuan, but only in the matter of fighting against the Tartars.
It was also for this reason that he deliberately picked a stunned young man to go to Guanning Pass, and he couldn't reorganize Zhu Youzhen's soldiers into his Yuan Chonghuan's.
That's a big loss.
After all, Wu Sangui did this later, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry was originally formed by Emperor Chongzhen, but later due to the weak economy of the imperial court, the silver allocated to Liaodong became less and less.
This Wu Sangui set up his own door, took Guanning Tieqi as his own, and went to find a way to find the imperial court to cry poor and ask for money or participate in some business to the north to make money.
After a long time, Guan Ning Tieqi could clearly see that his good days were given by Wu Sangui, and over time, he listened to Wu Sangui's orders.
For the order of His Majesty the Emperor from Shuntian Mansion, it was also Wu Sangui who nodded, and Guan Ning Tieqi nodded.
This also laid the groundwork for Wu Sangui to support his troops and self-respect, and after Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, invaded Shuntianfu, he opened the passes in eastern Liaodong and let Jiannu enter the customs.
But for Ming ministers like Wu Sangui, who had a record of surrendering in history, Zhu Youzhen didn't give them a chance to play at all.
The debut does not exist, and it is considered Zhu Youzhen's grace to hide in the back honestly and leave a life.
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
There was a clear contrast between the neatly lined Tianhu Army and the militia-like people who carried food, but in fact most of them were ordinary people.
The Tianhu Army as a whole is behind the grain transportation team, and at the same time, it is also necessary to let the grain transportation team explore its own way.
If the manpower to transport grain is gone, it will be gone, and a Tianhu Army soldier has a non-combat attrition, but how can he explain it to Zhu Youzhen.
The strict discipline of the Heavenly Tiger Army has been engraved in the hearts of every soldier of the Heavenly Tiger Army since the training began in accordance with the training manual.
The loyal monarch dares to fight, but it also incorporates Zhu Youzhen's shrewd thinking similar to that of a small businessman, that is, to protect himself at all times, except in battle, of course.
He didn't want to see a brand new thing in his team similar to the Osaka Division in World War II.
In case of battle, he ran first, slipped away in advance, and hid in the rear to start a business with the enemy.
If his Tianhu Army is like this, Zhu Youzhen should not train the new army, study and study what color rope is good with the crooked neck tree on the coal mountain, and hang himself on the southeast branch early to start again.
"Colonel Monton, in your opinion, put this grain transport team in front, and we hang it in the back and don't protect the grain, what if we blame it?"
A regimental staff officer asked puzzled.
"Grain? If it's really food, then I don't dare, grain and grass are the roots of the army, just take people without food and grass to Guanning Pass, if Lord Bi Zisu is to blame, I can't afford to eat. ”
"Isn't it food? I see that the rut marks are also obvious on the grain road. ”
"It was the stone pressed on the back of the cart, and it was covered with bran and straw for the horses, and the real grain was hung behind our team under our own baggage and escort."
"Then why do it have to be, according to Lord Yuan Chonghuan, this grain road is quite hidden, and it has never been discovered by the Tartars and nothing has happened."
Meng Tubai glanced at the regimental staff officer in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that this guy didn't know how to be flexible, it is estimated that he would have to be the regiment commander.
"If everything is right, especially on the battlefield, then there should not be a change of dynasties since the Qin Dynasty."
The regimental staff officer did not say anything more, laughed and then hurried away silently.
