Jiang Wan's intention was the highest will of Dongjiang Town. With his order, the entire war machine of Dongjiang Town began to operate.
Although only the two battalions stationed in the main fort of Zhenjiang Fort were sent out, the four auxiliary forts were also linked up. The mobilization of the army could not be mobilized immediately by the general's mouth.
Food, grass, equipment, ordnance and other various logistics services for the battle must be mobilized before the army sets off. After everything is clearly deployed, the army cannot set off immediately.
A specific expedition plan must also have a specific plan, which route to take, how far to go every day, how to fight if you encounter the enemy, and if you don't encounter the enemy, how to clear the way back to ensure the safety of the army and baggage behind.
Setting up camp, defending, scouting, engaging in battle, just a few simple words, may be what the general has to rack his brains to go through in his mind, and Jiang Wan's adventurous advance is not just for Jiang Wan
This sounded a wake-up call, and it also sounded a wake-up call for all the generals in Dongjiang Town.
It is easy to imagine what consequences an unplanned battle will have in the end.
Jiang Wan is simply speaking from his own example. He may have lost some of his power among the generals and soldiers, but if everyone uses his experience as a warning, then no general will make a mistake in the future.
Some soldiers died worthless.
There are some differences between the soldiers and horses in Dongjiang Town and other Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses, that is, before the army goes out, generals at all levels have explained the purpose of the army's expedition to the ears of every soldier in popular language they can understand.
inside.
"If we don't fight the Tatars, the Tatars will come to attack us, steal our food, and kill our people. Dongjiang Town took you in last year. If the food cannot be harvested this year, everyone will starve to death, Marshal Jiang
It’s for the survival of each of us that the army was dispatched!”
In a village near Tingbao, Chen Xin was talking to the people around him: "You have all seen the army set out. They are all great young men, and they are all direct descendants of Marshal Jiang. He is not one of us."
The soldiers in Liaodong are either from Beijing or from Shaanxi. They fight life and death for us. I say, we men in Liaodong should be more conscientious in what we say. If they don't go to fight the Tatars, the Tatars will come here.
, our village will be the first to be destroyed!”
Several farmers were muttering that Marshal Jiang was a little belligerent. It was finally possible to see some harvest this year. If the grain was harvested properly, everyone could spend the winter in peace. At this time, Marshal Jiang would send troops. Then
Aren't you going to provoke the Tatars?
Several young people who wanted to become soldiers but were rejected by the assessment couldn't listen to these words and went up to argue with them. Soon, the quarrel turned into pushing and shoving, and then into a fight. When Chen Xin led
When the patrol team arrived, more than a dozen people were already lying on the ground with their heads beaten and bleeding.
Although they were just minor injuries, this also made Chen Xin furious.
"So what if we fight? Can we win?" Someone said unconvinced: "We fight every year and lose every year. When did our Ming Dynasty win? Governor Yuan did win. Is Marshal Jiang better than Yuan?"
Is the Supervisor still good?"
"Master, arrest this guy, he must be a Tatar spy!" Several young people shouted angrily: "At least Marshal Jiang dares to fight. Haven't you seen Tatars in other places?
They will only hide in the city when they come here, how can they care about the life and death of our people outside the city!"
"I don't know who is more powerful, Marshal Jiang or Yuan Chonghuan!" Chen Xin's face darkened: "I only know that the traitor Yuan Chonghuan unjustly killed our Shuai Pi. If you dare to say such things again, I won't kill you.
Get out of Dongjiang Town and find your own way to survive!"
The man was frightened when he saw the soldier's face turned dark, and lowered his head without even daring to mutter.
"Listen to me, our General Kong has an order. We are currently fighting at the front. If anyone in the rear dares to spread rumors to confuse the public and shake the morale of the army, they will be treated as spies. If there are people who collude to sabotage, once it is verified, they will also be treated as spies.
Disposed of!"
"Not only our T-shaped fort, but also the villages where several other military forts belong, people from the forts have been stationed since today. If you find anyone suspicious, you can report it to the soldiers in these forts. If the report is true,
, once verified, this year’s sharecropping will be free of charge!”
Wow!
The common people exclaimed in unison, and then looked at the other people around them. If they reported those bad guys, all the food they grew in the fields would be theirs this year? Is there such a good thing?
For a moment, they looked at the guys lying on the ground, and their eyes began to shine. Where were the people lying underground? They were just piles of food!
"Master, we don't want rewards. Can you give us some weapons? In this way, when the Tatars come over, we won't have the power to fight back!"
A young man raised his head and said seriously: "If the Tatars want to rob the food in my field, they must kill me first!"
"We have weapons, but when you face the Tatars with weapons, then my Kongzi camp will be completely wiped out, and the T-shaped fort will have to be occupied by the Tatars!"
Chen Xin said loudly: "As long as I am here in Dongjiang Town, Marshal Jiang is here, and Kong Ziying is here, you just need to work hard. When the war comes, it is not your turn to worry!"
Chen Xin walked away with his patrol team. The people looked at the disappointed young man and laughed one by one.
The young man was also a little angry, but the voices of those who were laughing at him made him slowly narrow his eyes.
"What this soldier said seems a little different from the soldiers we met before!"
"What soldiers we met in the past would tell us this? It would be nice if they didn't steal our things!"
"I think this is like the soldiers and horses of our Ming Dynasty. We are the people of the Ming Dynasty. Shouldn't they protect us?"
"Yes, why don't you tell those dead guys that they should? That is to say, Marshal Jiang is capable and can control these tigers and wolves. Hum, when have soldiers ever taken us as common people seriously?"
"The high-ranking official from Beijing is of course very powerful!"
The young man clenched his fists tightly and looked towards the east. He saw with his own eyes Marshal Jiang's soldiers and horses heading in that direction. There were so many soldiers, so many horses, and so many
Weapons, he really wanted to be one of those soldiers and horses to avenge his dead parents!
I don’t care about Marshal Jiang or Marshal Hai, as long as he dares to fight the Tatars, he who can fight the Tatars is a good commander!
He secretly said in his heart that if there was a chance, even if he couldn't go to the front line to kill the Tatars, he would still rush to deliver things to the front line as a minzhuang. Maybe he could become a soldier when he got to the front line.
