Chapter 91: This Overseer is Pretty Good
Sending away the little fat dun'er, Li Qing thought boredly: Forget it, King Yan will know if he knows, anyway, it is Lao Zhu's will to spy on him, and he can't do anything if he knows.
Rolled over and fell asleep.
Following.
Li Qing got up early, and after half of the meal, Zhu Di hurried over.
"It's the king who came early."
"It's the lower official who got up late." Li Qing clapped his hands, "Official business is important, let's go!" ”
Zhu Di took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, "Mr. Li will take a look at this first, and after making sure that it is correct, let's go to the yamen to dispatch." ”
Li Qing took it and took a look, good guy, in terms of food: 100,000 stone of rice, 30,000 stone of wheat, 8,000 pigs, and 5,000 sheep......
Equipment: 50,000 arrows, 5,000 shells, 10,000 buckshots...... The sum of all kinds of money is equivalent to more than 3.5 million taels of treasure money.
And that's not even counting military pay, as well as post-war pensions.
Did wars burn so much money in ancient times?
Zhu Di saw that his face was different, and asked with a smile: "Does Mr. Li have any objections?" ”
Li Qing shook his head slowly, these things were to be reported to the imperial court afterwards, and Zhu Di dared to do this, which proved reasonable.
However, he was a little strange, "Lord Wang, the food of our Ming soldiers... Is it so good? ”
"The quality of the soldier's food is divided into time." Zhu Di patiently explained, "When the world was in turmoil, when my father and emperor rebelled, as long as there was a stutter, it was different, the world was settled, the people were at peace, and the soldiers were desperate, if the food was not as good as at home, how could there be fighting spirit at all?" ”
Li Qing nodded, "Thank you for your doubts." ”
"So ...... of us?"
"Oh, Lord Wang, please."
……
Beiping is a military powerhouse, there are arsenals, armories, granaries, and it is easy to dispatch.
Li Qing suddenly found that his power as a prison soldier was really not small, and he even asked him to sign and draw a charge together, without his signature, Zhu Di alone could not move anything.
I don't know if it's because the prison army is like this, or if Lao Zhu gives him special care.
However, this also proves from the side that the power of the Ming Dynasty vassal king is indeed not large.
Zhu Di, as the king of the border domain, is indeed armed, but there are only three guards, and one guard here does not refer to one person, but three thousand to nineteen thousand.
Theoretically, a feudal king could have a maximum of 57,000 people.
But how much there is is is not the vassal king who has the final say, but the imperial court, because the guards are issued by the imperial court.
Zhu Di has a special geographical location due to facing the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and his level is higher than others, but the three guards together only have 24,000 people.
However, in normal regular combat, the vassal king's guard will not be used.
The duty of the guards was to ensure the safety of the vassal kings, to be precise, they were the bodyguards of the royal palace, not the regular army.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang who was afraid that his sons would be bullied, so he spent money on the bodyguards hired by his sons.
But sometimes it will be requisitioned, Zhu Di's Sanwei is often requisitioned, and sometimes he has itchy hands, and he will lead Sanwei to the grassland for a walk.
However, this time there is a clear goal and a precise route, and Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid of missing the opportunity, so he uses all the elite cavalry.
Li Qing followed Zhu Di for a few days, and he also had a superficial understanding of the military of the Ming Dynasty, at least he knew who to look for for grain and firearms......
At the same time, he also got to know Zhu Di a little.
Zhu Di is a person who likes to fight very much, in addition to having a meritorious psychology, he also has a fanatical preference for fighting itself.
These days, he walks with the wind, as if he has endless energy.
After four or five days of hurriing, the military affairs finally came to an end.
In fact, Li Qing, the prison army, didn't play much role at all, and he didn't mention any opinions, just signed and painted. It's all Zhu Di who is busy, but he is not ashamed.
It would be a shame not to know how to command, and he was ready to continue to carry forward this spirit.
Professional things are handed over to professional people to do, and if you don't understand, you will never pretend to understand, this is Li Qing's code of conduct.
He didn't know how the ancients fought wars.
The set on the TV series, he doesn't dare to use it indiscriminately, on the battlefield, blind command will kill people.
Lao Zhu asked him to gild, but he didn't let him command the battle, and the battle was handed over to the prince and the vassal king, and he followed it and drank the soup.
After finishing the military work, Li Qing came down with salted fish again and had a hot fight with Little Fat Dun'er.
Little Fat Dun'er was really righteous, and no one really said anything, and kept the secret for Li Qing.
……
Five days later, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, led a large army to arrive.
Li Qing and Zhu Di welcomed the old prince into the palace together.
"Oh, I'm getting older, this battle hasn't been fought yet, and I can't stand it all the way." As soon as Feng Sheng sat down, he made his attitude clear.
People of this rank pay attention to the word 'stability' in their actions, and the holy will is so obvious, he will not steal the limelight from Zhu Di.
"Your Highness has any ideas, you might as well talk about it."
"In front of the old man, how dare Zhu Di get an axe?"
"Huh? Your Highness, don't be humble. Feng Sheng said with a smile, "Your Highness often fights with the Yuan people, and his familiarity with them is much stronger than mine, and those routines of mine are outdated. ”
Zhu Di saw that the old guy didn't say anything, so he had to say, "The younger generation is ugly, and if what he said is wrong, please correct it." ”
After a long silence, he slowly spoke:
"This operation is different from the past, we have precise goals and approaches, and we are fully prepared, in my opinion, we only need to do the following two things,
One is fast, late is changing, the Yuan people are different from my Han people, they don't have a fixed place to live, where the grass rises well, where do they go.
The second is to do a good job of secrecy, now the Yuan people are already frightened birds, there must be secret agents around Fang Yuan, and they also have Hai Dongqing's natural eyeliner, it is too difficult for 50,000 horses to completely hide in the grassland.
My opinion is that at a distance of five hundred miles from the target, the risk of exposure to the horseshoe wrap will be minimized, and that the risk of exposure should be minimized. ”
"Your Highness." Feng Sheng nodded, "That's very appropriate." ”
Zhu Di smiled reservedly, "It's all some simple common sense of the art of war, and the prince praised it falsely." ”
After a pause, seeing that Feng Sheng didn't have a tactical supplement, he looked at Li Qing, "Does Li Jianjun have a high opinion?" ”
Li Qing arched his hand, "Your Highness, it's very appropriate." ”
Feng Sheng glanced at Li Qing, and then remembered that there was a prison army on this expedition, but he didn't care, and said to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, can you tell me about the strategy against the enemy?" ”
Zhu Di nodded, "This time we have the advantage, winning can only be regarded as passing, and we must win a big victory to be considered complete." ”
"So ......?"
"Surround but not fight, recruit security!" Zhu Di's eyes were bright.
"Hiss~!"
Feng Sheng's original Gu Jing Wubo's face finally changed, "Your Highness, this is too risky!" ”
"Don't worry." Zhu Di explained, "It must be a strategic goal to win, and Zhao'an is just a strategy, not necessarily to be executed." ”
"Hmm." Feng Sheng relieved his heart at this time, and his eyes could not hide his appreciation, "Your Highness dares to fight, but he is cautious, so it is very appropriate." ”
Zhu Di smiled modestly, and then said seriously: "As long as our army moves secretly and forms an encirclement before the enemy is alert, Zhao'an may not be unworkable." ”
Then, he looked at Li Qing, "Can Li Jianjun agree with this king's strategy?" ”
"Your Highness dares to fight, but he is cautious, so it is very appropriate." Li Qing arched his hand.
Feng Sheng glared at Li Qing angrily, and then it was a joy again.
This overseer... It's pretty good.
At least, it's much better than the prison army who doesn't know how to pretend to understand and is still blind.
After determining the tactical and strategic guidelines, the next step was to plan the route of the march.
Li Qing was like a mute, he didn't say a word, he only drank tea, or peeled oranges to eat, and after most of the day, the two plates of fruit were cleaned by him.
In the end, Zhu Di got up and set the tone: "The army will rest for one night and set off tomorrow!" ”
……
At night, Li Qing packed up the bed and was just about to go to bed when the door was pushed open.
The little chubby dun walked in with a grin, holding the pillow.
Li Qing was surprised, "You don't want to sleep with me, do you?" ”
"Ming'er, you're going to war with your father, I want to talk to you." Little Fat Dun'er's face was full of worry, "You can't die in battle!" ”
"Thank you!" Li Qing rolled her eyes and lifted the quilt, "It's autumn, it's cold outside, come in and talk." ”
"Hey, okay."
"By the way, Xiaopang, you come to me, do you know?" Li Qing asked.
"It's okay, I usually sleep with Sanbao, tonight I lied to him and said that he slept with his father, he can't knock on the door of his father and princess, right?"
Li Qing laughed and said, "You are really a little clever ghost. ”
"That's... Oh, don't pinch me. ”
"Chubby, why do you have such a long meat?"
"How long can it be, it's all eaten one bite at a time."
