Chapter 32 Training I

On 15 May, the Qing army in the Xuanfu area was divided into two groups and marched one after another, and the first 2,000 troops were composed of the Han and Mongolian Eight Banner Armies, led by a Han man named Wu Weihua.

He was born in Shuntian, after the former Ming Dynasty Gongshun Bo Wu Yuncheng, he is now a prisoner in the Guozi Prison, his ancestors were Mongolians, and returned to the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period, which was given the surname "Wu" by Zhu Di.

After Dolgon entered Beijing, Wu Weihua saw his ancestors, greeted Ma Shou to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Mao recommended himself to go to Shanxi and Shaanxi to appease the Qing Dynasty.

This time, the Qing army marched westward, and Aixin Jueluo, who had just received the title of Prince Heshuoying. Azig was the commander-in-chief, known as the general of Jingyuan, and planned to take Xuanda and attack Li Zicheng along the Great Wall into northern Shaanxi.

Soon after the Azig headquarters pursued Li Zicheng back to Beijing, he was still repairing in Shuntian because of the lack of people and horses, so he let his eldest son love Xinjueluo. He Du temporarily led the commander of the West Road for him and sat in Xuanfu.

Wu Weihua was appeased in the front, and the degree of coercion was in the back, the Xuanfu easily took it, and the degree inevitably underestimated the enemy, Li Zicheng was a rabble, so he ordered Wu Weihua to go first in Datong, and he himself would leave in a few days.

Wu Weihua knew that Hedu was addicted to women, so he arranged it just to linger for a few more days, but he had no objection to this in his heart.

Come to think of it, in Shanxi, especially Xuanfu and Datong women are a must.

As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, Xuanda is located in the north of the Han and Hu mixed places, the local people are mostly descendants of the Tuoba clan, with Xianbei blood, and then intermarriage with the Han and Mongolian peoples, and then do not distinguish between you and me.

Xuanda women inherited the heroic character of their ancestors, and because of the multi-ethnic mixture, their facial features are exquisite, their skin is like agar, and their bodies are plump, full of exotic style.

And the degree of lingering here is also a man's normal feeling.

Even so, Wu Weihua is still full of confidence in the matter of appeasing Datong, if he can win Datong without blood, it will definitely be a great achievement.

With the march of Wu Weihua's department, the night of the far post in charge of the east of Datong Fudong gradually closed to the Fucheng, and the middle of the back and forth did not stop, and the movements of the Qing army flew into the camp of the Ming army like snowflakes.

Although the sentinel cavalry probed, the number of this group of Qing troops was not large, only 2,000.

However, Jiang Hao still did not dare to take it lightly, and proposed to Chongzhen to allocate 5,000 troops to be deployed in Hongci Fort, Zhenhe Fort, and Gudian Town, so as to form a triangular defense line with Fucheng in the north.

Chongzhen has surveyed the landforms around Fucheng with the map of mountains and rivers, and the two forts and one town mentioned by Jiang Hao are located next to the mountains, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Moreover, the distance between the three and from the three to the capital city is not far, which is convenient for mutual support and response.

The Qing army had to pass through the Yuhe River to attack Datong directly, and the width of the Yuhe River was about 100 zhang, and it was not easy to cross the river under the noses of the defenders of Fucheng.

If you want to cross the river from the upper reaches of the Yuhe River, that is, the north of Datong, the Ming army stationed in Erbao and one town can also attack it halfway.

If the Qing army was not stupid, it would not have chosen to cross the river from the downstream to the south of Fucheng to attack the city, because the Qing army, which did not know the truth of Fucheng, would think that it was likely to be attacked by the Shun army from Taiyuan.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Jiu's proposal was really the best policy, Chongzhen suddenly thought of a question, and asked casually: "These two forts and one town, who do you plan to command?" ”

"What does Your Majesty think of your brother?"

Tune Jiang Xuanbu out of the city? Chongzhen couldn't help but think deeply when he heard this, with Jiang Xuan's ability, it was easy for any party to be the main general, but .......

Seeing that His Majesty was silent, Jiang Hao was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

"Is there a suitable candidate besides him?"

"Although the general Wang Jinchao is not as good as his younger brother, he may be up to this position. By the way, His Majesty has seen this person, and it is the person who drank wine when he was on duty at the East Gate last time. ”

Jiang Huang's original intention was to promote his younger brother, throwing out that Wang Jinchao was just a pretense, and by the way, he also tried to arouse Chongzhen's bad impression of Wang Jinchao.

"It will take a few days to build a captive here, and Rong Zhen will think about the matter of the main general, so let's transfer the soldiers and grain and grass first."

"No! In this way, the minister retired first. ”

"Go ahead."

Chongzhen looked at Jiang Jiu's departing back and shook his head slightly, hoping that things would not go in the worst direction.

"Ten thousand people are in one mind."

"Tarzan is shaking!"

"Loyalty and righteousness."

"Angry bullfighting!"

Outside the Song Mansion, which is now the emperor's residence, Yang Boxian is at the head of the team, and Jiang Xuan is at the end of the team, leading the group training camp to run circles around the house.

With the help of Song Xiance, all the old prisoners surrendered and were integrated into the regimental training camp, and the new and old were combined, and the regimental training battalion had a total of 500 soldiers.

As for what Hu Mazi and Song Xiance talked about that night, the details are only known to Chongzhen and Song Xiance.

This regimental training camp is organized and trained according to Chongzhen's intentions, and it only obeys Chongzhen's "new army." After most of the daily training around the city is over, the regimental training camp still needs to continue to practice.

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, His Majesty seems to have a special respect for the Qi family's army, and the method of military training is mostly referred to here.

The treatment of the soldiers in the regimental training battalion is far higher than that of the battalion soldiers, and His Majesty selects the best food and clothing, and even Jiang Xuan's family sighs to themselves when they see it, this is raising soldiers, this is raising fathers.

Having said that, how can it really be a "adoptive father"? In addition to physical training, the regimental training camp also needs to practice the mandarin duck battle formation and the use of weapons.

Chongzhen's understanding of the Mandarin Duck Array all came from Qi Jiguang's military book, and he lacked practical experience, so he called Jiang Xuan to help guide.

Jiang Xuan has been in the army for many years and comes from the border army, so he naturally understands the formation of the Qi family's army, but the mandarin duck formation does not seem to be suitable for the current environment.

But seeing that His Majesty was confident, Jiang Xuan didn't want to spoil his interest, so he just taught him.

"The Lord will kiss me."

"Better than parents!"

"Committing a violation of military law."

"The body is not free!"

"The order is clear."

"Letter of Reward and Punishment!"

"Go to the fire."

"Dare to stay?"

"Report to the Son of Heaven to save the head of Qian, and kill all the captives to find a feudal marquis."

Everyone sang the "Triumphant Song" written by Qi Jiguang, and Chongzhen changed the Japanese Kou into Jianyu, and sang it together during training, slowly cultivating the faith of the soldiers.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are battles in the rivers and lakes.

With the addition of new recruits, the regimental training camp naturally divided into two factions, one was led by Hu Mazi, the old soldier who surrendered, and the other was the peasant households recruited by Yanggao, led by one of the young men named Zhao Adi.

The two gangs fought endlessly every day, and the old pawns looked down on the peasant households, and the peasant peasants regarded the old pawns as thieves.

Yang Boxian was distressed by this, and found Chongzhen to ask what to do.

Soldiers can only fight if they are aggressive, Chongzhen is happy to see this, and instructed Yang Boxian as long as he does not delay training and does not cause death, although they toss.

Yang Boxian was worried that he would not be able to manage it, so Chongzhen appointed Song Xiance as the supervisor of the army and went to help manage the regimental training camp.

After today's practice, Song Xiance asked Jiang Xuan to hold a wrestling match in the camp according to Chongzhen's intentions, and after Jiang Xuan listened to the rules, he hurriedly asked Song Xiance whose idea it was.

"Of course it was His Majesty's idea."

"Sure enough."

Jiang Xuan secretly admired that His Majesty's move can be described as killing three birds with one stone, which can not only vent the "blood" of these soldiers, but also exercise the soldiers' close-range bare-handed skills, and even imply a certain educational significance in it.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the minister is ashamed of himself."

"Okay, Lord Jiang, your admiration for Your Majesty, the lower officials will definitely help bring it, and please do it quickly." Song Xiance quipped with a smile.

Jiang Xuan hugged his fists, and then commanded the soldiers to set up the field.
