Chapter 55: Arriving at the Yanshan Camp
Far away on the horizon, a troop of men and horses is marching northwest.
This is the second day of the march, and at dawn today, Zhu Youzhen continued to march to the Changping Mausoleum District with the Yulin Sanwei.
Now it is not far from Gonghua City, and Zhu Youzhen also instructed Lu Wenzhao:
"Last night, the army and the people did not commit any crimes, and ordered the whole army to reward each of them with three hundred dollars today!"
Zhu Youzhen was a little happy, originally he thought that the Yulin Sanwei would interfere with the lives of the people in the city, but it seemed that it was because he had developed a habit of patrolling the palace all the year round, so the military discipline was not bad, and he had no offense with the people of Gonghua City.
"Bounty?"
Lu Wenzhao, who was riding a horse and following the chariot, was stunned when he heard Zhu Youzhen's words, after all, in his opinion, it was right to garrison troops in the city and have no offense with the people.
Although the reward of 300 yuan per person is not much, 7,000 people add up to a bit much.
When it comes down, it's more than two thousand taels of silver.
"According to what I said, the reward is three hundred, and you must arrive in Changping Mausoleum District before today's application!"
After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he closed the car window, and Lu Wenzhao understood the second half of the sentence.
Last night's 300 wen reward for the garrison Qiu was just a reason to reward the army, and it was actually a request for the army to march to Changping in a hurry.
300 yuan may not seem like much, but it is already ten days' wages for ordinary people in Beijing.
"The order and reward are three hundred, and you must arrive at the military camp in Changping Ling District before applying for time today."
"Yes!" The brocade-clothed guard, who had heard this a long time ago, was eager to try, and immediately led people to spread the good news throughout the army after receiving the order.
The sergeants, who were originally a little depressed because of the marching route arranged by Zhu Youzhen and the fact that they could not speak military law on the road, couldn't help but move faster after hearing the news of the 300 Wen reward.
Yesterday they had already marched 60 miles, and today they only need to march another 50 miles to reach the barracks.
Today is not as good as yesterday, and it has been delayed for nearly an hour in Andingmen, so if the pace is faster, it will not be so difficult for more than 50 miles.
Stimulated by military orders and rewards, Yulin Sanwei was like a red dragon, slowly heading north, while Zhu Youzhen was in the chariot, flipping through the pages of military books.
Thanks to the fact that when he was a big soldier in his previous life, he liked to look at geographical maps and satellite maps.
After his memory of this life improved, he had a better understanding of the geography and topography of East Asia.
Some of the marching problems in the book of war were not difficult for him to understand.
What he was even more troubled about was the detailed operation between camping and battle formations.
Camping is a discipline that must be learned in ancient marches, and it is also a subject that must be learned, how to set up camp, how to mobilize a large army in a small military camp in an orderly manner, this is a science.
It was 1620, and without a telephone, a cell phone, or a game, it was impossible for him to control everything about his men.
In this era, only by making corresponding deductions and judgments based on the understanding of the soldiers and horses under his command can the situation on the battlefield be controlled.
For example, Yang Ho in the Battle of Sarhu, the information he revealed to Nurhachi was obviously false information, but Nurhachi had his true information.
Yang Ho obviously marched three days in advance, and the route he set was similar to that of Chenghua Plough Court, but all the information was leaked.
This is the result of Yang Ho not understanding that the people are all Nurha's red eyes, and he doesn't understand the difference in the quality of the four teams under his command.
Especially Li Rubai's department, in Yang Hao's view, Li Rubai and He Shixian, no matter how you look at it, are the main force.
But he didn't expect one thing at all, that is, Li Rubai's army was the former general army unit that had just taken over not long ago, and it was not his Li family's descendant at all.
The result is that the other three teams can still fight with Houjin, and when they come to Li Rubai, even if he and He Shixian scold the army, the army should be chaotic or chaotic, and it is really embarrassing.
If a general cannot grasp the quality of the soldiers under his command and does not consider the run-in between the generals and the soldiers and horses, then defeat is certain.
Zhu Youzhen wrote this sentence on the front page of "Li Weigong's Art of War", and he had to read it every time he read this book of soldiers.
He just looked at the book quietly, and as time passed, little by little.
The snow in the sky is still falling little by little, dyeing the land of Hebei, which was originally empty and full of wild grass after entering late autumn, to snow white.
Like the silver-covered Yanshan rising from the horizon little by little, the army has marched thirty miles at noon, and after simply burying the pot to cook and resting, it continues to embark on the journey.
Perhaps because of the incentive of reward, the speed of the march of the three guards of Yulin today was very fast, and before the time of Shen, the sound of the horse's hooves of the army came to Zhu Youzhen's ears.
"Phewโ"
With the sound of the horse's hooves hurrying and stopping, he opened the window, and one of the horses also turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and said:
"Back to Your Highness, this place is only three miles away from the military camp, and Wang Zhangyin has already instructed the soldiers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to prepare a meal for our army."
Wang Chengen and the others went north with light cavalry yesterday, and they had already arrived at the barracks, and had arranged everything for today early.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen, who heard the return of the horse, bowed slightly, and then said to Lu Wenzhao:
"Order the whole army to march in a hurry, and when they arrive at the barracks, put the reward money at the door of the barracks, and distribute the bounty according to the name on the list, remember, with the general flag as the unit, the reward money of one general flag and one general flag, if the copper money is not enough, ask Wang Chengen to take it from the inner treasury of the Imperial Horse Prison."
"Commanded by humility." Lu Wenzhao rode on horseback and saluted, and then commanded the general banner of the Jinyi Guard to pass the military order to the whole army.
As for Zhu Youzhen, his chariot was escorted by the Jinyi Guard, and began to cross the army and run towards the military camp three miles away, while the carriage of Yang Lian and others also followed.
However, after a cup of tea, Zhu Youzhen and others saw the military camp entrenched at the foot of Yanshan.
Although he didn't expect much from the Imperial Horse Guard, he still had a heartfelt headache when he saw this military camp.
"What kind of thing is this......
Looking at the military camp under his feet, which looked like a stockade, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but scold.
Only to the south of the barracks, the six-mile-long wall, there are only wooden walls and less than 20 watchtowers.
Not to mention using it as a military camp, even the cottages of bandits are more elaborate than this.
"It's good that I didn't expect it." With a sigh, Zhu Youzhen saw the gate of the barracks open, and then a familiar figure appeared at the door.
The carriage that accompanied him got closer and closer to the barracks, until it was only about thirty paces, and Wang Chengen led more than 40 generals of all sizes to salute him.
"Welcome to the Five Highnesses, the Five Highnesses Chitose Chitose, Chitose Chitose, Chitose ......"
The voices of the generals shouted loudly, but Zhu Youzhen's face darkened.
At the moment, he has no expectations for the Imperial Horse Prison Barracks, and only hopes that the number of Imperial Horse Supervisors will not disappoint him too much......
