Wang Yangming sighed softly, stepped forward and helped Qi Zhen up.
Looking at Qi Zhen, Wang Yangming said: "What is the crime of General Qi? It is quite rare to have more than 20,000 troops to resist nearly 10,000 Tatar cavalry."
Qi Zhen said subconsciously: "But our army was able to suppress the Tatar cavalry before, but now it is..."
Thinking that they had indeed forced Ma Guli to lead the cavalry to retreat, now if Wang Yangming had not sent men and horses to help, he might have been defeated.
After enjoying a series of victories, he suddenly felt the powerlessness of the infantry against the cavalry again. Naturally, Qi Zhen couldn't accept it for a while.
Wang Yangming shook his head and said: "Previously, the army had the help of artillery, so it could naturally suppress the Tatars. However, now our army is unable to use artillery on a large scale due to the scarcity of gunpowder. This has led to the disadvantage of your attack, General Qi."
, if you really want to talk about it, the failure of this battle is the responsibility of this governor."
Before Wang Yangming could finish his words, Qi Zhen said: "Why did the Grand Governor say this? The insufficient supply of gunpowder is clearly a problem of the logistics quartermaster. How can we blame the Grand Governor?"
Wang Yangming said with some self-blame: "If this governor could have noticed the problem earlier, the current situation would not have happened."
Seeing Wang Yangming's self-blaming look, Qi Zhen couldn't help but said to Wang Yangming with some annoyance: "The Governor, the general thought that the officials in charge of logistics and military supplies must be severely punished. If it hadn't been for them, this battle wouldn't have been so bad.
Many soldiers died, and even with the help of the power of firearms, we can attack the Tatar camp in one go and win this battle."
As soon as Qi Zhen said these words, he was directed at the officials in charge of logistics.
In this large tent, the expressions of several civilian officials suddenly changed. You must know that military supplies have always been the responsibility of civilian officials. This is one of the methods used by the civilian officials group or the imperial court to suppress the generals.
Even the emperor would tacitly agree that the civil service group would control logistics in order to restrain and suppress the generals who commanded the troops outside.
Military supplies and logistics are controlled by the civilian group. Even the military generals have no objection to this. After all, as military men, they only need to be responsible for fighting and killing the enemy.
As for asking them to be responsible for counting the amount of supplies, arranging military supplies and other complicated matters, to be honest, there are really not many generals who are willing to spend their minds on these complicated matters.
It can even be said that even if they want to do it, they don't have the ability and energy.
But there is a premise, that is, since the logistics and military supplies of the army have been handed over to the civilian group, these military quartermasters must ensure the supply of military supplies required for the war ahead.
If the military commander fails in combat, the responsibility will naturally fall on the general. However, if the army fails in combat due to insufficient supply of logistical supplies, then the responsibility will fall on these civil servants.
This is why when Qi Zhen asked for severe punishment of the quartermaster, the expressions of several civil servants present changed.
I heard one of the counselors couldn't help but said to Qi Zhen: "General Qi, what do you mean by this? It's clearly because the soldiers under your command are not capable enough to defeat the Tatars. What's the matter with the logistics quartermaster?"
.”
After saying that, the counselor snorted coldly and said: "From my perspective, General Qi, you clearly want to shirk responsibility."
Several other civil servants nodded after hearing this, with looks of approval on their faces. Even Shen Buyi stood there expressionlessly, as if Qi Zhen was pointing the finger at the officials responsible for logistics and military supplies.
Although Shen Buyi also felt that the quartermasters did not fulfill their duties, causing the army to lack gunpowder, resulting in the Ming Dynasty's most sharp firearms being unable to provide sufficient assistance to the army.
But this cannot be entirely blamed on the logistics quartermasters. It is clear that the soldiers and horses under Qi Zhen also bear part of the responsibility. Now that everything is being pushed onto the quartermasters, Shen Buyi is naturally quite dissatisfied.
However, Shen Buyi did not directly mock Qi Zhen like those others, but looked at Wang Yangming with a blank expression.
Needless to say, all the generals present naturally stood on the side of Qi Zhen. They immediately jumped out one by one and asked Wang Yangming to severely punish the officials in charge of military supplies.
For a moment, a fight almost broke out between the civil and military parties.
This was not the first time this scene had been staged. Wang Yangming couldn't help but frown. Even with his ability, facing a civil and military confrontation was quite a headache.
But this time, Wang Yangming couldn't help the anger in his heart. He glanced at the civil servants coldly and said: "Send the order and immediately seize all the munitions officials responsible for the movement and storage of gunpowder for strict investigation. If there are any
The guilt must be punished..."
At this time, Shen Buyi frowned and interrupted Wang Yangming's words: "Grand Governor, the Quartermaster is under the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. He is an official of the imperial court. Even if he is guilty, he must be convicted by the imperial court and then punished according to the crime...
…”
Hearing this, Qi Zhen couldn't help but said angrily: "Fart, as the commander-in-chief of an army, the entire army can be punished by military law if they are found guilty."
Shen Buyi glanced at Qi Zhen with disdain and said: "General Qi, let me ask you, does the Grand Governor have the power granted by His Majesty to kill first and report later?"
Qi Zhen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head subconsciously and said: "No, but military law is ruthless..."
An official on the side heard Qi Zhen saying that military law was ruthless. He sneered and said: "Can military law be greater than national law? Those quartermasters are all officials of the imperial court. How can they kill at will...
"
As he said that, the official looked at Wang Yangming without fear and said: "As the chief minister of the cabinet, the Governor should not abuse his power and kill the imperial officials in vain."
Since the Battle of Tumubao, the tentacles of the civilian group have penetrated into the army, and their control over the army has become stronger and stronger.
Literary men in charge of the army can naturally use the banner of military law to kill the soldiers in the army who do not respect orders, but it is obviously impossible for them to use military law to kill their own family members.
Especially this time when Wang Yangming commanded the army, the imperial court dispatched many officials from the Ministry of War, Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Industry and other ministries into the army, trying to take the opportunity to increase control over local troops.
Even in the eyes of some, Wang Yangming, as a cabinet minister who conducts military affairs as a civilian, should be like Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who should keep his own position in mind and take the opportunity to infiltrate the influence of his civilian group into this group.
Among the hundreds of thousands of troops.
Because of Li Huan, most of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Beijing camp were eliminated by Li Huan's unification. Most of the Beijing camp, which had already fallen under the control of their civil servant group, suddenly returned to the imperial power.
In order to suppress the military generals, their civil servants did not know how much thought and energy they expended. Only then did Yu Qian successfully get the military power in his hands, and directly let the noble and military generals of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion
The institutions in power have completely become decorations.
When Zhu Houzhao was assassinated and his life and death were uncertain, Fei Hong joined forces with the nobles in the army to instigate a section of the Beijing camp to rebel, which was a manifestation of the civilian control of the Beijing camp.
Now that the capital camp is out of control, many people in the court are watching and anxious in their hearts. And this time the Tatars march south to invade, many people are still worried whether Li Huan will take the opportunity to control the nine sides and local troops.
Some people even discussed creating some trouble for Li Huan. Even if they were defeated by the Tatars in a battle, they could never sit back and watch Li Huan take the opportunity to take control of the local area and the army in the border town.
That is to say, Li Huan recommended Wang Yangming as the commander-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of troops. Otherwise, these people would have taken action long ago.
No matter how you say it, Wang Yangming was of orthodox Confucian origin, and was regarded by many as a member of the civil service group. Therefore, when Wang Yangming came to the capital to command the army, whether it was to help Wang Yangming, or to prevent Wang Yangming from colluding with Li Huan, the civil servants
The group sent many people to accompany Wang Yangming into the army.
These people were headed by officials such as Chen Zheng and Li Bu. Some of them became counselors under Wang Yangming, and some of them entered the army and served as quartermasters and other official positions in the army that required civilian officials.
Why couldn't Wang Yangming understand the meaning of the official's words? If he really killed those quartermasters ruthlessly, he would definitely be regarded as a traitor to the civilian clique by these officials.
Here, when Wang Yangming was facing the scrutiny of Shen Buyi and other officials, in the military camp of hundreds of thousands of troops, the sound of mules and horses neighing continuously at the logistics and military supplies area.
A large number of young people are extremely busy moving various supplies. After all, it involves the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops. The daily food and grass alone is an extremely terrifying figure.
What's more, he is also responsible for repairing the soldiers' weapons and armor at the front, and even transporting the injured in the front, etc.
It can be said that the more intense the fighting at the front, the busier the personnel at the rear will be.
In a tent, a strong smell of alcohol filled the air.
In this tent, several figures were sitting there in official uniforms, drinking and having fun with smiles on their faces.
One of the officials had a good appearance, about forty years old, and his name was Li Mao. He was an official who had been transferred from the Ministry of War to leave Beijing with Wang Yangming not long ago and was responsible for managing logistics and military supplies.
At this moment, Li Mao raised his glass and smiled at the two colleagues in front of him: "Come, come, let's have a drink together. This fine wine was obtained by Li with a lot of effort. These days, his mouth is watering.
Already."
Fang Sheng, who was sitting opposite Li Mao, said with a bit of complaint: "It is true that alcohol is banned in the army. Qiu Baji only drinks alcohol. We are only responsible for logistics and military supplies, so why should we impose such a strict ban on Fang?"
The wine bug is crawling out of your belly."
Zheng Shi on the side drank the wine in one gulp and said: "So what if we drink secretly? Is it possible that the Governor King can still know about it?"
Zheng Shi said with a smile and said: "Unless he can catch us, what else can he do to us?"
Fang Sheng couldn't help but laugh and said: "What Brother Zheng said is true. So what if Governor Wang didn't help him? If we didn't help him, he really thought he could control the army and dispatch so much food, grass, ordnance supplies."
As he said this, Fang Sheng drank the wine, looked at Li Mao and said with a smile: "We only need to use our hands and feet a little to discipline him, the Governor Wang, who cannot move even an inch."
Li Mao, Fang Sheng, and Zheng Shi looked at each other and couldn't help feeling proud.
Li Mao, who was stroking his beard, said with a bit of pride in his eyes: "I just moved my pen a little bit, but wouldn't our Governor Wang be blinded? He could only look at hundreds of artillery pieces.
No gunpowder available."
After hearing what Li Mao said, Fang Sheng sighed softly and said: "It turns out that Governor Wang was able to think of concentrating all the firearms in the army. Not to mention, his move was really effective. He stunned the Tatars.
If we have enough gunpowder to fight, the Tatars may really be defeated and flee in this battle."
Zheng Shi also nodded with deep approval and said: "Yes, today we know how sharp firearms are. If we had known this earlier, even if we asked to command the army, we could still suppress the Tatars and fight."
Speaking of this, a cold look flashed in Li Mao's eyes and he said: "So Wang Yangming is too popular. If he doesn't suppress it, after this battle, both Li Huan and Wang Yangming will be crowned marquis and prime minister for their military merits."
, won’t there be no one in the court who can compete with Li Huan, Wang Yangming and the others?"
With a serious look on his face, Fang Sheng stroked his beard and nodded: "The key point is that Wang Yangming's position is unclear, especially his attitude towards the traitor Li Huan. Otherwise, we will help him defeat the Tatars this time. With this unrivaled feat,
You can definitely defeat that traitor Li Huan."
Zheng Shi and Li Mao each poured water and wine for Fang Sheng, and said with a somewhat solemn look on their faces: "There is a problem with the supply of gunpowder this time. The governor will definitely send someone to investigate strictly. We must deal with it carefully."
yes."
Li Mao said calmly: "If he wants to check, let him check. There is nothing wrong with our account books at all. As long as he can't get hold of us, what can he do to us? Don't forget, we are all in the Six Departments."
Officials with high rank and good grades are not those in the army who can be killed on just one charge."
With some confidence, Li Mao chuckled and said: "Even if Wang Yangming wants to establish his power over us, I'm afraid he won't be able to pass the test of Shen Shen and the others. Don't forget, Wang Yangming, the governor, does not have the power of life and death. He does.
Master Shen, Master Chen, Master Li are here, so we have nothing to worry about."
wuningbao
Cao Xiong looked at Li Huan who was leading the army with a look of surprise. He couldn't help but get off his horse and stride towards Li Huan. He saluted Li Huan with great surprise: "I have seen the general, the general is so powerful!"
The news that Li Huan traveled across the prairie and slaughtered countless Tatar tribes has already spread. When Cao Xiong saw Li Huan and others returning, he felt extremely happy and admired in his heart.
Li Huan supported Cao Xiong and said with a smile on his face: "Commander Cao, you are fine!"
Cao Xiong took Li Huan to see Yang Yiqing while introducing Li Huan to the current situation in the pass.
Soon Li Huan and Cao Xiong came to a small courtyard. This small courtyard was one of the few that was still relatively complete in Wuning Fort.
Wuning Fort is not big, and there are not many courtyards. The other courtyards have long been reduced to ruins.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yang Yiqing and several lieutenant generals came towards Li Huan and said from a distance: "The general attacked the rear of the Tatars and caused great chaos in the Tatar army. We can defeat Dayan Khan for more than ten people."
Ten thousand troops are blocked here, all thanks to the great general."
Li Huan shook his head when he heard this and said: "Governor Yang is ridiculous. The attack on many Tatar tribes was the credit of many soldiers. Compared with those soldiers who died on the battlefield and were wrapped in horse leather, Li has no face to talk about his credit."
.”
When the generals following Yang Yiqing heard this, they saw that Li Huan had made such a great contribution without any flamboyance or pride. They even did not forget the soldiers who died in the battle. They looked at Li Huan one by one with eyes full of excitement.
A look of admiration.
Even Yang Yiqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. As for the soldiers beside him, they bowed deeply to Li Huan and said: "The general is mighty."
Walking into the living room, Li Huan and others took their seats.
I heard Li Huan say to Yang Yiqing: "Governor Yang, what is the situation now? Is there any news from Mr. Yangming about when can we launch an attack on the Tatars?"
Li Huan asked a series of questions as soon as he opened his mouth. Although Jin Yiwei helped deliver the news, in the end the news was too delayed, and Li Huan really didn't know the recent situation clearly.
Yang Yiqing took a deep breath and told Li Huan the current situation of both parties in detail. After all, the main force of the Ming Dynasty was only dozens of miles away from Wuning Fort, so it was really not difficult to convey the information.
Perhaps hundreds of thousands of troops could not overcome hundreds of thousands of Tatar soldiers and horses in a short period of time, but if you just sent some people to deliver the message, it would not be difficult to spend some effort.
It is also because of this that Yang Yiqing is quite clear about the current situation of the main force of the Ming army.
Li Huan listened to Yang Yiqing's story, especially when he heard that Wang Yangming really followed his advice and concentrated the use of firearms among the generals. When facing the Tatars, the firearms played a great role, even overwhelming the Tatars.
Tatars beat.
Li Huan couldn't help but have an excited smile on his face, but when he heard Yang Yiqing mention that not long ago, there was a problem with the army's logistics and military supplies, so that the Ming army did not have enough gunpowder to exert the power of the firearms, this made him
Li Huan's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
Frowning, Li Huan said with some doubts: "How is this possible? With Mr. Yangming's calmness and caution, now that he has seen the power of firearms, how could he not pay attention to firearms? Military supplies will definitely focus on them.
A supply of gunpowder."
Yang Yiqing shook his head and said: "That's what it is said, but there is a saying that everything depends on man-made efforts. Perhaps the Governor did not pay too much attention to it, or perhaps something unexpected happened during the execution of the Governor's order. Anyway, no matter what, most people today
The governor simply did not have enough gunpowder, so he had no choice but to fight head-on with the Tatars."
Li Huan's expression changed. After a while, he took a deep breath, looked up at Yang Yiqing and others and said, "I just saw that the Tatars seem to be sending troops to attack Wuning Fort continuously and continuously. How long can you hold on?"
?”
Yang Yiqing looked straight and said: "If nothing happens, there will be no problem if we defend for ten days and a half. Of course, the premise is that the governor can put enough pressure on the Tatars and attract more troops from the Tatars.
Otherwise, even if the Tatars use all their strength, Wuning Fort will really not be able to hold it."
Li Huan had no doubts about Yang Yiqing's words. After all, Wuning Fort was just a border town fortress, not one of those majestic cities that could rely on tall walls to resist the army.
If Wuning Fort is really such a high-walled city with astonishing defensive power, then Yang Yiqing and the others would not be able to capture it from the nearly 20,000 Tatars such as Ada Tumeng and Ayan who were stationed at Wuning Fort.
.
Li Huan said slowly: "In this way, whether the Tatars can be severely damaged or even left behind depends on whether Mr. Yangming's main force can suppress the Tatars!"
Yang Yiqing nodded slightly and said: "We are just supporting from the flanks, not the main force of the army, so if you want to deal with Dayan Khan's army, you still have to rely on the Grand Governor."
Li Huan was thoughtful, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stood up and said: "In that case, Li will go to see the governor and ask him to send troops as soon as possible to attack the Tatars together."
Hearing what Li Huan said, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. When they reacted, Li Huan had already swung his fiery cloak and strode out.
Yang Yiqing and others quickly followed, and they heard Yang Yiqing say to Li Huan: "General, General, how are you going to see the Governor."
The two sides were separated by Dayan Khan's army. The army of more than 100,000 was not a decoration. It would be fine if Li Huan's identity was not exposed, but once it was exposed, who knows whether those Tatars would go crazy.
Li Huan burst out laughing when he heard this and said, "Of course I'll kill him all the way."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They all thought that Li Huan was going to quietly pass through the Tatar army and then enter the Ming army camp.
But from what Li Huan meant, he wanted to kill the Tatar army with both sword and spear.
Opening his mouth, Cao Xiong swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "General, that is an army of more than 100,000 Tatars. How can the General, with his body of ten thousand gold, take such a dangerous risk..."
Li Huan shook his head slightly at Cao Xiong and said: "General Cao, there is no need to say anything. Li knows the importance."
As he was speaking, Li Huan was heard shouting: "Xu Ying, please immediately mobilize more than a thousand fine cavalry. Do you dare to follow my general to kill the Tatars and go to see the governor?"
After hearing Lihua's words, Xu Ying, Ren Ping, Li Hu, Li Guo and others' eyes suddenly lit up, and their bodies were filled with evil aura, but no one showed fear.
"I will wait for you, the general, to accompany you."
When Yang Yiqing and the generals behind Cao Xiong saw Xu Ying, Li Hu, and Li Guo, their reactions were full of shock.
"My Healing Game"
Don't these people know how dangerous it is for more than a thousand people to attack an army of hundreds of thousands, especially if it is a Tatar camp? Isn't this a way to die?
But seeing Xu Ying get on his horse and summon more than a thousand elite cavalry at a very fast speed, not to mention that Xu Ying and other generals were not afraid, even these soldiers and horses, no one was afraid, but
It exudes a high spirit of fighting.
A strong murderous intention rushed towards the face, which only made everyone's hearts tremble.
"Hey, you are indeed an elite warrior who has followed the general across the prairie."
Li Huan got on his horse and faced Cao Xiong. Yang Yiqing and others cupped their hands and smiled and said: "Everyone, Li will take the first step. The rest of the troops will stay here to help Governor Yang, General Cao, and you guys will guard Wuning Fort together."
Seeing that Li Huan had made up his mind, Yang Yiqing took a deep breath and saluted Li Huan: "Yang is here to wait for the general to return with his army."
Li Huan laughed loudly and said, "Thanks to Governor Yang's kind words, Li will go now."
Li Huan was seen rushing out first, his red cloak flying in the wind, looking so eye-catching, and behind Li Huan were more than a thousand fine cavalry in a black mass, like a torrent rushing out of Wuning Fort, killing only those who were fighting.
Tatar soldiers and horses attacking Wuning Fort.
Seeing this scene, Yang Yiqing immediately said to Cao Xiong and others: "Everyone, please go with me to watch the battle, and also appreciate the general's invincible style on the battlefield."
Upon hearing this, Cao Xiong laughed and said, "Let's go together, let's go together."
Soon, under the protection of the soldiers, a group of people climbed to the highest point of Wuning Fort and looked towards the front of Wuning Fort from a distance.
At first glance, whether it was Yang Yiqing, Cao Xiong or all the generals, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
