Chapter 099

The thoughts of these Dongjiang soldiers are actually very simple, they are willing to be loyal to Cheng Shijie, that is because Cheng Shijie can let them eat well.

In fact, if you want to participate in the Ning Navy with the intention of having a full meal, it is indeed not difficult, as long as the height is more than one meter six or eight, if the height is not enough, the endurance is good enough, and there are certain specialties, such as being good at climbing, good eyesight, proficient in hunting and tracking, good at archery, horseback riding, and the height limit can be appropriately relaxed. With good endurance and hard training, he can also successfully enter the Ning Navy.

However, the problem is that although Ning Haijun's meals are rich, they are not easy to eat.

More and more soldiers of the Dongjiang Army came to Jinzhou, and after they came, they immediately changed into new cotton jackets, cotton pants, cotton coats and cotton shoes, and each person was also issued a sleeping bag, this kind of sleeping bag was sewn with a tarpaulin, filled with a full eight catties of cotton, and if you covered your own coat, since the weather is cold, it will not be too cold.

They were issued with the standard equipment of the Ning Navy, such as dog-legged knives, spears, waist knives, or shields, and those who were good at archery were also issued with bows and arrows.

Every Dongjiang army that came to the Acropolis of Jinzhou was also chaotically grabbing equipment, cotton clothes, shoes, and eating.

Cheng Shijie successively said to Mao Chenglu, Shang Keyi, Xiang Zuolin, Fan Hualong, Zhang Dalu, Li Weiluan, He Yongsheng, Du Jincai and other generals: "The military discipline of the Dongjiang Army is not good, it needs to be rectified, and new equipment also needs to be trained!" ”

As a result, Huang Long led the eight generals of the Dongjiang Army, but according to Cheng Shijie's intentions, he first followed the example of the Ning Navy, with twelve people as a team, four teams of forty-eight people, plus a sentry commander and a man, to become a sentry.

Four posts and five teams have a total of 260 people as a division, and there is one person in the general manager.

Two divisions plus four posts directly under the division are a bureau, with a total of one person, and each bureau has 770 people.

There are two bureaus, and the Department of Military Justice is one general, with one thousand generals and one person, each with a total of 1,500 people.

Every four divisions were set up in front of the Dongjiang Army, the left capital, and the right capital, totaling 24,000 people. Cheng Shijie also asked Huang Long to transfer another 2,000 men and horses from the Dongjiang Army, with 1,000 carts, as the transport team of the Dongjiang Army, and as the supervisor of the Ning Navy, Chen Guodong, who will also take advantage of the situation to set up the Dongjiang Army Supervision System.

Chen Guodong summoned the officers of the Dongjiang Army above 100 generals, and the corresponding superintendents, directors and superintendents, including Mao Chenglu, Shang Keyi, Xiang Zuolin, Fan Hualong, Zhang Dalu, Li Weiluan, He Yongsheng, Du Jincai and other generals.

In the newly renovated supervision and supervision hall of the Ning Navy in the Dengzhou Acropolis, a long table was placed in this hall, and pots of dumplings were placed on the table.

Dumplings are filled with big meat cabbage, mutton and cabbage, leek and egg filling, radish filling, tofu filling, anyway, what filling you eat, it all depends on your character and luck.

While eating dumplings, Chen Guodong began ideological education with all the supervisors, directors, and supervisors, and the most characteristic propaganda technique was: "Father and mother, not as good as Cheng Dashuai!" "The sky and the earth are big, not as great as Cheng Dashuai's kindness! "It's good, it's not as good as Cheng Dashuai!" "The river is deep and the sea is not as deep as Cheng Dashuai's love! ”

While eating dumplings, all the officers expressed their stance one after another that they must do a good job in strengthening ideological education and training.

The first step in the training of the Dongjiang Army is actually not a column, but the "Code of Conduct for Generals of the Ning Navy", although the "Code of Conduct for Generals of the Ning Navy" is established on the basis of the three major disciplines, eight points of attention, three principles, three rights, and three obligations, but there are hundreds of articles, not to mention that most of the soldiers are illiterate, just let them listen, let them listen to it and stick out their tongues, it is too strict!

They are not allowed to gather in crowds to fight, they are not allowed to drink alcohol in the barracks without authorization, they are not allowed to smoke (there are already cigarettes), they are not allowed to engage in any form of commercial activities in the barracks, they are not allowed to gamble in crowds, they are not allowed to gather crowds to commit sexual immorality, they are not allowed to leave the barracks without permission, they are not allowed to bring their families into the barracks without permission, they are not allowed to accept any gifts from outsiders at will, and they must buy and sell fairly and must not be on credit......

To put it simply, when they entered this barracks, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking, pitting, abducting, cheating, and robbing were all insulated from them, and they couldn't help but cry out: "Are we here to be soldiers or to practice!?" ”

There are also soldiers of the Dongjiang Army who are very dissatisfied and roar to the military judge: "Why can Jiannu rob strong women unscrupulously, women and silver women, I can't?" ”

The military judge has long been familiar with this situation: "Then the dog still eats, do you want to follow the dog to eat?" Is Jiannu human? Obviously they are not, they are beasts, beasts, do you also learn from Jiannu? Also, just like the image of a slave woman, can you get your hands or your mouth? ”

The officers and men of the Dongjiang Army were speechless.

As a veteran oilman, what he is best at is not to contradict the official, but to find loopholes in the system and exploit loopholes, these veterans take the generals and defenders of the Ning Navy to study it, and finally come to the conclusion that as long as we abide by discipline, no one will touch a single hair of our hair!

It can be seen that following Cheng Dashuai is still a very cost-effective thing, not only will he not be punished for no reason, but he can also get good treatment, and he is optimistic about his money.

It's just that these Dongjiang Army soldiers soon couldn't laugh, the Ning Navy is a professional army, they only do two things, fight, or prepare for war. Therefore, when the Ning Navy is not fighting, it is training.

A few days after the Dongjiang soldiers recovered from Jinzhouwei, they began to conduct daily training, of course, considering that the physical fitness of the Dongjiang soldiers was not very good, the training was carried out slowly.

Cheng Shijie served as an instructor and was responsible for training the generals of the Dongjiang Army and the Ning Navy, including Shen Mingyu, Zhang Yu, Liu Qingsong, Zhou Ning, Zhao Wencai, Yuan Shiliang, Li Zhixiang, Chen Shishi, and the generals under Huang Long.

Don't look at Cheng Shijie's serious lack of experience in military command, but he has a lot of theoretical knowledge, and a casual search on the Internet shows a large number of military theories, such as blitzkrieg, movement warfare, sparrow warfare, guerrilla warfare, large-depth combat theory, and so on.

"As a soldier, you have only one goal, and that is to kill the enemy. No matter who our enemies are, bandits, traitors, robbers, Jiannu, Mongol Tatars, or Westerners, you strictly obey the military orders, and you will fight whoever the military orders say. Before you hit someone, you must learn to make weapons, of course, this weapon is not for you to make swords, or firecrackers! ”

"Report!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Shen Mingyu and said, "Speak!" ”

Shen Mingyu said, "Then how are we going to make weapons?" ”

"On the battlefield, you have to take advantage of everything you can to your advantage, such as a river, a mountain, a fire, a gust of wind or a heavy rain. Don't underestimate these things that look ordinary on weekdays, when it comes to the battlefield, those who are good at using these things will be invincible......"

When Cheng Shijie said this, he glanced at Zhao Wencai intentionally or unintentionally and said: "Take our battle of the Jiehe River in Denglai, Shandong a while ago, if it was in peacetime, we would definitely not be able to catch up with Kong Youde's cavalry, the weather was not too cold at that time, which gave us a chance!" ”

Shen Mingyu raised his hand and said, "Is it because of the boundary river?" ”

"The boundary river is only a part, there are also weather reasons, although the water level of the boundary river is not deep, but the weather is cold, if the war horse goes down into the river, it will soon freeze, so in that case, we Ning Navy don't have to worry about behind us, Kong Youde's cavalry can't detour behind us......"

"Report!"

"Speak!"

Cheng Shijie naturally wanted to give Zhao Wencai, one of the main actors, a chance, a chance to refute.

Zhao Wencai said: "That's because General Kong...... Kong Youde's sworn brother died at the hands of Dashuai, and he was eager for revenge......"

This is the advantage that can be exploited, and "The Art of War" preaches in the eighth chapter and nine changes: Therefore, there will be five dangers: you must die, and you can kill; will be born, but can be captured; Angry, insulting; Incorruptible, humiliating; Love the people, but it's annoying. All these five will be passed, and the disaster of using soldiers will also be used. If the army is overturned and killed, there will be five dangers, and it must not be overlooked. ”

Zhao Wencai scratched his head: "I don't understand the humble position!" ”

Cheng Shijie looked at the generals and said, "Who will explain to Zhao Wencai?" ”

Huang Long raised his hand and said, "Report!" ”

"Huang Shuai, please speak!"

Huang Shuai coughed and continued: "The meaning of this passage is that generals have five weaknesses, and the meaning of death is not afraid of death, dare to fight to the death, and must live, which can be understood as greed for life and fear of death, and anger, which means short-tempered, and honesty refers to excessive sweat and self-preservation, love the people, that is, not really love the people, but cherish feathers and cherish their reputation, and this weakness will be exploited......

"Report!"

This time it was Mao Chenglu who raised his hand, and he asked a little puzzled: "I'm not afraid of death, is it wrong to dare to die and fight hard?" ”

"It's not a mistake not to be afraid of death and dare to fight hard, it's just that such a general will fail, especially when there is a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, or the enemy is pretending to retreat, the more fierce he is to fight and rush, he is very vulnerable to the enemy's ambush!"

Cheng Shijie looked at the generals and said: "If Jiannu comes to invade southern Liaoning, even if the Jiannu people are outnumbered, even if the enemy is outnumbered, the commander will fight to the end and not retreat." This situation requires a specific condition, for example, there are hundreds of thousands of people behind us, even if we fight our people out, then we can't let it, because if we retreat, the people of Li will be slaughtered by Jiannu, if it is during the attack, or in other words, the people behind us have all retreated, we have to be flexible and temporarily retreat, because alive, there is hope, and if we die, then there is nothing! ”

The generals began to reflect.

Cheng Shijie continued: "You must be captured, the meaning of this sentence is that generals can't be greedy for life and afraid of death, everyone should have heard of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in the Battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao led 800 soldiers to attack Sun Quan's 100,000 army camp at night, Sun Quan's Xu Sheng took the lead in routing, triggering the rout of the whole army, although Sun Quan was not captured, but Sun Wu's army was captured in many ways! ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Shijie looked at Zhao Wencai and said: "At the beginning, the commander ordered Liu Qingsong to lead three hundred soldiers to raid Lou Jian's department in Crouching Tiger Village, the original intention was to lure Lou Jian to pursue, the commander had already prepared an ambush, but there was an accident, Lou Jian was killed, Kong Youde was anxious for revenge, lost his mind, this is a sure defeat, after Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei was eager to take revenge, and hurriedly launched the battle of Yiling, the Shu Han army was defeated, all of you think about it, this marshal knows that Lou Jian and Kong Youde have a close personal relationship, Lou Jian is dead, can Ben Shuai not guard against Kong Youde's revenge? ”

"Can't!"

Huang Long said subconsciously.

"Yes!"

Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "Knowing that Kong Youde wants to retaliate, Ben Shuai will naturally use all the terrain that can be used, and the boundary river is the most ideal terrain nearby!" ”

"Report!"

"Isn't Zhaoyuan County the best place to defend?"

"If you are Kong Youde, knowing that there is a fortified city, and you only have cavalry, will you still attack?"

"This ......"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "People's anger will slowly dissipate, time will dilute everything, just at the beginning, Kong Youde will be revengeful and lose his mind, he is not a stupid person, reason will slowly come back, when the time comes, Ben Shuai can only win a small victory, but cannot hit him hard!" ”

Only then did the generals suddenly realize.

"For the generals, if you want to control your temper, when you make any choices and decisions, you must consider them comprehensively, because one of your decisions is that countless soldiers bear it with blood!"

Cheng Shijie said: "If you face a favorable opportunity, then you need to attack decisively, just like the Tang Dynasty, the Turks were strong and strong, the Turkic iron cavalry galloped across the steppe in the north, countless tribes surrendered, the powerful Xianbei tribe completely disappeared, the powerful Turks, but also launched 200,000 iron cavalry to reach the city of Chang'an, forcing Tang Taizong Li Shimin to empty the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan two years, Guanzhong hunger, starvation everywhere, the Tang Dynasty is the weakest time, the country's soldiers are only 200,000, and the cavalry is not more than 20,000. However, in the winter of the third year of Zhenguan, a rare snowstorm occurred on the grassland, and the Eastern Turkic cattle and sheep were lost more than half, and they were very weak. ”

Cheng Shijie looked at the generals and asked, "Do you know why Li Weigong could easily destroy the Eastern Turks and capture the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks?" ”

Liu Qingsong raised his hand very excitedly and said, "I know!" ”

"Speak!"

This is Liu Qingsong listened to Song Xiance analysis of this battle, the Eastern Turks suffered a snow disaster, Jieli Khan led hundreds of thousands of troops to the south to avoid the cold, since Jieli Khan down, almost all the Eastern Turks despised the Tang Dynasty, thinking that the Tang Dynasty did not dare to attack the Eastern Turks, the Eastern Turks' defense was very lax, followed by the Weishui Alliance for the proud Tang people, this is a great shame, the seeds of revenge are planted in the hearts of every Tang people.

Just when Cheng Shijie was training Admiral Ning and the generals of the Dongjiang Army, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army also began training, and their training was relatively simple, such as standing in a military posture and turning the method in all directions.

In order to distinguish between the left and right feet of the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, the left foot was not allowed to wear socks, and in such a cold weather, the foot and neck were exposed to the air, which was very sour.

In particular, the instructors of the Ning Navy are simply a bunch of beasts. As soon as it was dawn, he rushed into the dormitory with a whip and drove them out, and then he went five kilometers of cross-country with full armor, and if he ran too slowly, when he came back, he didn't even have food.

The officers and men of the Dongjiang Army were a little dissatisfied, and the leader of the gang said that the military budget was tight, but if the three outposts came back late, they could only eat one less meal, and they would just eat one less meal, and they would not die if they ate one less meal.

At this time, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army understood that it was not easy for them to eat Cheng Shijie's food.

However, think about how difficult it is to find a place to eat now, although the instructors of the Ning Navy are trained ruthlessly and are simply not human, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army gritted their teeth and insisted, and no one was willing to leave, because if they left Jinzhouwei, they might die.

Compared with the five-kilometer cross-country, the queue training made the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army hate it even more, and they hated the instructors of the Ning Navy to death.

"Turn left!"

"Turn right!"

"Turn back!"

"Turn left and backward!"

"Walk where you are!"

"Look to the right!"

These passwords made them dizzy, and they almost couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south. Either they are standing in a military posture, and some hateful guys have deliberately brought them to the place where the wind is blowing.

The cold wind is like a knife, even if they are wearing cotton clothes and standing still for half an hour, their bodies will still be numb from the cold......

The Forbidden City in Beijing, since the defeat of the Daling River, Emperor Chongzhen has not slept a peaceful night, fought hard for more than three months, and lost 100,000 troops.

The crux of the problem is that Chongzhen, a young man, has no way at all, the current Ming Dynasty is like a broken house, leaking wind everywhere, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Ningxia (the Ming Dynasty is not a provincial position, just a government) and Henan, Liukou is like a gourd in a water tank, hold down this end, and that head will rise again.

The key is that the rout of the Guanning army made this young emperor very worried, in case Huang Taiji's head was hot, and then he took sixty or seventy thousand troops to kill under the capital, the last time Huang Taiji was not prepared, there was no heavy weapons to attack the city, if he came again, Huang Taiji would definitely carry cannons, let alone capture Beijing City, as long as a Jiannu appeared under the capital, where would the face of this young son of heaven go?

The young emperor Chongzhen wanted to fight Jiannu, and regardless of the fact that the generals of the Ming army were afraid of the enemy like tigers, the more important thing was the empty treasury and the increasingly depleted tax sources......

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and ordinary people still have to pay off their accounts before the year, and he, the big boss of the Ming Dynasty, also has to pay salaries to officials, but the problem is, he still has less than 600,000 taels of silver in the treasury, how to send it?

What's the hair?

The composition of the financial expenditure of the feudal dynasty is also relatively simple, which is nothing more than the royal family, administration, military expenditure, river work, and relief, of which the royal family, administration, and military expenditure are the three major heads, that is, to support the royal family, the bureaucracy, and the army.

Thinking of paying salaries to those officials, Emperor Chongzhen had a headache, and after being the emperor for more than four years, he had already seen that these officials were not doing anything, eating nothing, a group of rice buckets.

There are thousands of major national events, none of which can make him worry, since he ascended the throne, he has no chance to take a breath, natural disasters, Jiannu, Liukou, the more and more pressing, when the night is quiet, he can clearly hear the breaking sound of Daming, the hollowed out tree, slowly falling, not big, but it makes him feel creepy.

Da Ming can't hold it anymore......

Thinking about it, Da Ming has not fallen, he is not dead, so he still has to do things and worry about this rotten country. The battle of Daling River has passed, and it is useless to think about it, so let's think about it like the New Year.

He beat his spirits, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and listened to the opinions of the courtiers.

As for how to solve the financial problem, the ministers of the imperial court still repeat the same old tune, which is nothing more than two methods, open source or throttle, and the ministers are the first to cut at the clan on how to throttle.

But the problem is that since his grandfather, Emperor Wanli, he has begun to owe money to the clan, and now he has to take out 1.92 million stone grain from the treasury every year to send it to the vassal king and the clan, this figure is very huge, accounting for almost one-third of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue, slightly less, and a quarter more, which is also a heavy burden.

The Black Ming trolls on the Internet have been spraying the Ming Dynasty, but the problem is that the Manchu Dynasty raised the children of the Eight Banners, and the annual expenditure was between more than 1,300 taels of silver and 16 million taels of silver, which was three or four times larger than that of the Ming Dynasty's clans. But the problem was that the Manchus expropriated the gentry class and could collect money. In particular, the Daxing Literary Prison, Kangxi's large-scale thirteen cases, Yongzheng's seventeen cases, and Qianlong's one hundred and thirty cases, these were all killed by the gentry class, that is, the rich class.

Lao Cheng did not find out the specific number of this number, but only one Ming history case killed 70 people, Ling Chi 18 people, implicated more than 3,000 people, almost all of these people were raided.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Jiangnan gentry who escaped Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were massacred, and their homes were raided, and the Qing Dynasty obtained a large amount of silver and money, most of which went to the Internal Affairs Office.

But the emperor can't, he doesn't have this executive power, the second way for civil officials is to raise taxes, that is, open source, Emperor Chongzhen because of the tax increase in Chongzhen four years, forced millions of peasants, he saw this result, he knew that he could not raise taxes anymore, and if he continued to increase, the Ming Dynasty would be gone.

When it was time to eat in the evening, in the face of a bowl of millet porridge worth thirty taels of silver, Emperor Chongzhen only drank most of the bowl, what he didn't know was that such a millet porridge with clear soup and little water only needed two cents when placed outside, even if the viscous millet porridge was sold for seven or eight cents at most. Even if it is ten cents, it is three thousand times that of the market outside.

"Emperor, ask to see you!"

"Biography!"

Chongzhen had actually forgotten the news of Cheng Shi's outstanding soldiers in Liaonan, because his brain was stunned by these mouth cannon ministers.

Seeing Gao Qiqian again, Emperor Chongzhen was very surprised, Gao Qiqian's face made the north wind blow blue and white, his lips were frozen and cracked, and although his clothes were temporarily wiped, there were still a lot of mud dots and dots, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Gao Banban, what's wrong with you?"

"Emperor, the slave maid has an important military situation to play, so he rode a fast horse against the wind and snow, and rushed back to the capital from Dengzhou, suffering a lot along the way, but the stakes are very high, but I can't take care of it!"

Gao Qiqian is also an expert in bullying the king, he sat in the car along the way, especially when he looked at Sun Yuanhua's four-wheeled carriage, he wanted to ask for it, but Sun Yuanhua didn't dare not give it, so he took the four-wheeled carriage that Cheng Shijie gave to Sun Yuanhua, and this carriage RV was full of technology.

No matter how rough the road is, sitting in the carriage and feeling a slight shaking is like sitting in a rocking car, which makes people drowsy. Gao Qi dived and walked slowly for 23 days, an average of dozens of miles a day, all the way, all the way to eat, all the way to accept the tribute of officials along the way, and came to Beijing City.

Of course, in order to pretend to be pitiful in front of Emperor Chongzhen, he was wearing single clothes and was frozen in the middle of the night outside the capital, which gave him an embarrassed image. If the cavalry is on the road overnight, it is a problem whether they can survive if they have high potential.

The crux of the matter is that Chongzhen has been kept in captivity in the palace, he doesn't even know a lot of basic life knowledge, looking at Gao Qiqian's embarrassed image, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were so moved that his eyes were red: "The military situation is important, but you can't be too desperate, if you have anything to do, who will do things for me?" ”

Gao Qiqian screamed very abruptly: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" ”

Gao Qiqian's voice almost sent Emperor Chongzhen away.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen came to his senses: "Gao Companion said and laughed, where did the joy come from?" ”

"Liaonan!"

Gao Qiqian stretched out his hand into his arms and put three good news in front of Emperor Chongzhen, these three good news are the report of Cheng Shijie, the chief soldier of the Ning Navy and the governor of Zuodu, one is the report of Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and one is naturally Gao Qiqian's own report!

Acting is naturally a full set.

Cheng Shijie did not report the success to Emperor Chongzhen, in Gao Qiqian's view, Cheng Shijie will be a man, he is more interesting, knowing that even if he writes a good news, it will fall into the hands of Gao Qiqian in advance, if it is unfavorable to Gao Qiqian, or if Gao Qiqian is not satisfied, it is impossible to appear in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

In this case, he simply wrote a winning figure for Sun Yuanhua, and did nothing else, leaving the decision to Gao Qiqian himself.

It is precisely because of Cheng Shijie's interest that Gao Qiqian did not embarrass Cheng Shijie, but did not hesitate to praise him.

Gao Qi said with emotion: "Since the defeat of the Daling River, the arrogance of Jiannu has become more and more arrogant, rumors are very loud, and the army and the people are terrified. Ning Haijun is dedicated to serving the country, moving forward bravely, and will not turn his ......."

"And the result!"

Emperor Chongzhen was very excited at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Gao Qiqian's hand and asked, "What is the result?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen is also a fan of the authorities, and the three folds in his hand, as long as he takes a look, the result will naturally be known.

Gao Qi said: "General Cheng Kuang Fu Jinzhou Acropolis and Gaizhou Acropolis, Kuang Fu Erzhou, God bless Daming, congratulations to the emperor, get a good general!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen was excited, and he involuntarily used a little strength in his hand to pinch out his high hands, but he didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to say anything.

"Good, good, good, my Changshan Zhao Zilong really didn't disappoint me!"

Cheng Shijie didn't know that Sun Yuanhua had found him a father, but Emperor Chongzhen was good, and even changed his surname.

PS: I really didn't carry it last night, and it depends on the situation at night. Now it's a little special.,Not many updates.,I hope you all have a sea of Han.。
