Chapter 29: Where to go

Early the next morning, the Sichuan soldiers and the local generals visited the three civil officials together.

Qin Liangyu came forward first, still stating that the white pole soldiers were isolated in their own category, lacking clothing, food, and silver, and asked for additional soldiers, grain, grass and silver.

Xu Guangqi saw with his own eyes that most of the white-pole soldiers were rattan armor and leather armor, and the crossbowmen were even unarmoured, which was much worse than more than half of the iron armor in Jizhen, so he added what he had seen and heard, and said that these materials should be replenished.

Yao Zongwen smiled and said: "The imperial court has allocated a large amount of military salaries to Xiong Tingbi, which is enough for 18 taels per person according to the number of soldiers, but it is a pity that Xiong Tingbi and other thieves are greedy for ink, so it will hurt you." Therefore, if Xiong Tingbi's greed for ink is not investigated, and the military salary is recovered, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to allocate the silver. ”

This led to the impeachment of Xiong Tingbi, and this is not acceptable, nor is it not accepted.

Of course, Hong Chengchou is aware of the delicate relationship, and he is now very reluctant to participate in these difficult things.

Zhou Dunji, who looked very steady, left his seat and stood up, and he formally said to the three civilian officials: "A certain has been in Liao for 2 years, and he has made meritorious contributions to his crimes, but he is mostly responsible for managing ordnance and recruiting and training, and has no chance to go to the battlefield. I implore the three adults to allocate supplies for our Sichuan soldiers, and I will wait to go north to Liaodong as soon as possible. ”

Oh?

Hong Chengchou, who had nothing to do with himself just now, suddenly brightened his eyes, and his task was to urge the troops to go to Liaodong as soon as possible.

Yao Zongwen said: "Now there are more than 6,000 people in Shizhu and Youyang, more than 3,000 Sichuan soldiers, and more than 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers. ”

Qin Liangyu has the highest positions in several soldiers and horses, but there is no one in Qin Liangyu's court, and at present, he cannot let Tusi and female generals directly lead these strong armies.

"Nanjing Wuju people, with the last deputy chief soldier to support the Liaochuan soldiers, Tong Zhonghua, is estimated to be able to arrive in August."

"Chen Ce, a deputy commander-in-chief from Guangdong, who participated in the Battle of Luliang and has the old headquarters of the Yu family's army, is estimated to have a few months left."

"Where is General Qi Jin now?" Hong Chengchou asked suddenly.

Zhang Mingshi, a general of the Zhejiang army, replied: "General Qi is recruiting troops in Zhending, and he has completed his training today, and it is estimated that he is on his way on horseback." ”

"Oh? In this case, why not use General Qi Jin to temporarily take command of the joint training and prepare to open Liaodong? "Hong Chengchou's task is to get them to leave quickly, so throw out the right person at the right time.

"Good~" Yao Zongwen is a native of Zhejiang, and he wants to enhance cooperation with the Qi army, although Qi Jin is not from Zhejiang, but if he chooses a veteran of the Qi family army as the commander, the Zhejiang soldiers will definitely not suffer.

Xu Guangqi also nodded, he had trained with Zhejiang soldiers in his early years, of course he had this good feeling.

I see!

Wang Hongyu knew in his heart that these confirmed Hong Chengchou's true purpose, and it was really to let the army leave as soon as possible.

This wave is done!

Now that you have judged the opponent's goal, you can take advantage of it!

Silently nodded to Zhang Shenwu and Zhou Dunji, and the two of them understood and implemented the optimal plan.

"The last general and others are in favor of General Qi Jin's leadership, and I look forward to being able to train together with the army as soon as possible." Zhang Shenwu and Zhou Dunji expressed their support together, and Qin Liangyu also expressed their support.

Yao Zongwen and others said that they were looking forward to the results of the joint training and went to Liaodong as soon as possible to beat Jiannu.

Next, Wang Hongyu began to play.

With the cooperation of Zhou Dunji, an expert in the training of the Sichuan army, he asked the Sichuan soldiers and the white pole soldiers to practice the spear phalanx, and together with the bird guns and chariots of the Zhejiang soldiers, they constituted a new method of warfare.

Muskets, spears, bows, crossbows, shields, mixed phalanxes.

The musket can break the armor, the bow and crossbow are highly effective against light armor, and the different types of enemies can be farther away according to the enemy's armor situation.

A wall of spears and swords and shields to restrain enemy cavalry and light infantry. In particular, the spear phalanx can also be formed into a dense formation after special training.

"The first row crouches, the second row raises flat, and the third row raises guns on the shoulder!"

"Poke the gun, poke the gun!"

The spear phalanx was majestic, and the three rows of dense formations stabbed forward from bottom to top, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

"Shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot, chest to back!"

"It's just that it's all in one go, it's hard to change hands, how can you tolerate jumping left and right?"

The phalanx marched in unison, with uniform movements when turning, and no one moved in a tight formation.

Wang Hongyu just combined his own experience, military knowledge and book records, and made a three-in-one training of military training, spear phalanx, and the new book of discipline and effectiveness, and made the Sichuan soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, and white pole soldiers into a trinity.

The chariot formation of the Zhejiang soldiers was not lost, but was specially placed on the flank of the spear phalanx, which could not only block the flank outflanking of the enemy, but also keep firing guns to cover the phalanx.

Based on the foundation of these elite veterans, Wang Hongyu engaged in new-style training, and with the help of Xu Guangqi, a training expert, after a few days of training, he had already cooperated slightly.

It is certainly not enough to have a tacit understanding in a real war, but what a drill is enough.

......

Five days later, Qi Jin arrived with 600 Zhending troops.

Yao Zongwen Baoju restored Qi Jin's position as a general, and now temporarily commanded the Liaozhou armies in Tongzhou, and promised that he would be awarded the post of deputy general soldier when he arrived in Liaodong.

Qi Jin is Qi Jiguang's nephew, and his reputation in later generations is far above the generals of the Sichuan army, and Wang Hongyu has long wanted to meet him.

But when I really met, I was shocked.

I saw the old general Qi Jin, his face was full of wrinkles, he had gray hair and an ordinary figure after decades of fighting for the Ming Dynasty, but his expression was resolute and unshakable.

In fact, he is close to 70 years old, except for the Japanese invaders, saved Korea, repelled the peak main force of the Japanese Warring States with superior forces, defeated the Mongolian cavalry who did not want to trade and wanted to plunder, and in the end he was only a general.

As a result, the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng was liquidated to Qi Jiajun, the brothers were killed, and he was also excluded and demoted. Until March of the 47th year of Wanli, that is, a year ago, Qi Jin was transferred from Tianjin guerrilla to Zhending guerrilla.

Now I am going around and around, and I am back in the position of a general, and I am going to embark on a trip to Liaodong again.

Qi Jin actually has a very low posture, and he is very polite to Qin Liangyu, Zhou Dunji, Zhang Shenwu and others, but when it comes to the military formation and drills, his stern aura will not care about anyone's face.

This is the temperament of Qi Jiajun.

......

The ten-day deadline has arrived, and Yao Zongwen arranged a move in the capital to remove Wang Xueshu from his post and go home to reflect, which is actually a refrigeration cover.

Wang Xueshu took 300 henchmen, packed his bags, and planned to leave Pinggu at night, and go west to Changping, Juyongguan, and Xuanfu all the way west to return to his hometown.

Fortunately, my father Wang Bao has served in Changping and Xuanfu for many years and has accumulated a lot of relationships, otherwise this road may not be smooth.

Even so, I was still a little uneasy in my heart, as if this time I would go on the road......

"Head of the house, it's time to go."

He Chao, who was still on crutches, came in and urged him.

"Well, let's go, you try to keep up."

Wang Xueshu has already given up his mentality towards He Chao, a "stupid" family, but considering that he is also from Shaanxi Wumen, he still takes it with him.

Taking advantage of the darkness, more than 300 people immediately set out, most of them elite soldiers, at this time with weapons, armor and horses, walking on the mountain road, ordinary bandits would never dare to stop them.

Unless......

"Who are you?!"

As soon as I reached a mountain pass, I heard a roar full of energy.

"Jizhen Soldiers and Horses! Who dare the bandits to stop it! Wang Xueshu, who was walking in front, yelled, not believing that the bandits really dared to hit the stone with an egg.

"I am the general Meng Biao of the Sichuan soldiers, since I am a colleague of Jizhen, let's meet, after all, I know each other in the ring!" Such a sentence came from the avenue, which frightened them.

it!

"Meng Biao! The guy in the ring ......"

"If they find out, they can't escape!"

Wang Xueshu was so frightened that he took the lead and fled into the mountains, and the rest of the people ran away, and fled in one direction in the dark.

After drilling in the mountains for half an hour, more than 300 people were less than half, and when I stopped to check, I found that Cheng Guerrilla, who was in a wheelchair, could not keep up, and it was estimated that Meng Biao of the Sichuan Army was arrested.

However, He Chao has a pair of iron crutches, and he has already used dexterity, and he has not fallen behind by his side.

Keep walking, and leave Pinggu early.

I finally found the way, and after walking for another quarter of an hour, I saw that there seemed to be other soldiers and horses on the path.

Wang Xueshu was cautious this time, first observed carefully for a while, and saw that there were men and women on the other side......

Bandits? Who's afraid of whom!

He was just about to scold, when someone in his team suddenly exclaimed: "Not good! It's the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers! ”

When they heard the commotion, someone immediately shouted, "What a guy in the mountains! I am the general of the Zhejiang soldiers, Zhao Hannian......

"The little woman is the stone pillar Qin Ling ~ Zhejiang soldiers and white pole soldiers are practicing here."

it!!

Run!

The white pole soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers have made a feud, and they will definitely not be able to leave if they are caught!

Wang Xueshu gave up the horses and went to the mountains, and the rest of the people and horses were already frightened, like grasshoppers in a pot, and scattered and fled.

After fleeing for more than ten miles, there were only fifty or sixty people left, and except for He Chao, there was no reliable one left.

"He Chao, in the end, you are still loyal~" He is actually on guard in his heart, beware of the worst.

He Chao didn't get closer, and replied normally: "There are still many people in our hometown, and when the time comes, what kind of Sichuan soldiers, native soldiers, and Zhejiang soldiers will kill him." ”

"That's right!"

He continued to lead people on the road, focusing on He Chao on the way. The quality of his pair of iron crutches is very good, and it is estimated that he was made by a powerful blacksmith, but his kung fu is not good, and his leg was broken, and now he is not his opponent.

Just while paying attention to He Chao, he hurriedly walked to a relatively steep mountain.

"The Mountain ......"

I remember that it was this area of Pinggu, a relatively steep mountain with only one road.

After thinking about the location, I found that I had escaped at night, and it was not too far from the departure location.

"Alas, keep walking, now that you know the location, you are not afraid of going wrong."

Wang Xueshu looked back, his face was a little strange.

"What's wrong with the head of the house?"

"We ...... How many people just came? ”

"Counting the head of the family, there are eight in total."

Wang Xueshu was stunned when he heard this, and sweat slipped across his head.

"Why is there one more now!?"
