Chapter 420 Grasshoppers on the Same Rope: Jiang Xiang, Wu Sangui!
The rivers and lakes are all over the place, and everyone is here to make money and eat. If there is a step up, they will naturally be willing to come down. In fact, the same principle applies to major national affairs. If there is a way to solve the problem without war, naturally they will not choose war, unless
Decision makers are war madmen. However, there are some people and things that cannot be given a chance, such as Jiang Xiang in Datong.
The stab in the back by Jiang Xiang and Wu Sangui almost caused Zhu Youjian to end his mission to save the Ming Dynasty early. If such a person can still be forgiven, what else can't be forgiven? Zhu Youjian and the Ming Dynasty still have
The bottom line? Datong City must be conquered hard, and Jiang Xiang must be the leader. This is a must-have principle.
It was enough to let him live in Datong for a few more years. Now it is time to settle the general account for him. In the middle of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the troops stationed in the naturalized Mayouliang and Ma Xu tribes were divided into two groups, starting from the direction of Xuanhua and the grassland.
They sent troops in all directions at the same time, approaching Datong City.
There are three divisions of troops dispatched this time, two infantry divisions and one cavalry division. The cavalry division is not the old cavalry division that Ma Xu led before, but the 72nd Division newly built on the grassland. The original cavalry division was transferred to Baoding to prepare
Another war.
Ai ** was galloping with the large army from the grassland to Datong City on his horse. He was very eager to look forward to the upcoming war. In the middle of the year, Wang Jinbao promoted him to squad leader, which was regarded as fulfilling his first wish.
After Bu's promise, it will be up to Ai Yan himself to see if he can live up to his promise. If he succeeds in the Battle of Datong, Wang Jinbao has promised him that he will sponsor him to enter the military academy for further study, and he will be a formal officer after graduating from the military academy.
After entering the Ming Dynasty military camp and being summoned by Wang Jinbao for a talk, Ai Yan's heart lit up a fire. As the content of study and training became more and more in-depth, the fire in his heart became stronger. He
I found that what the brigade general said during the conversation did not seem to be nonsense. The officers were indeed very serious about teaching military skills and cultural knowledge. If they only asked themselves and others to fight and work hard, they would not have to waste such effort, especially not to be exhausted.
Teach people literacy and arithmetic as much as possible.
I heard from the officers that if you can enter the military academy, you will be able to go a step further and not only learn the skills of a general, but also the skills of a general. After graduating from the military academy, it is not difficult to lead troops to fight. After a few years of training,
It is even possible to become a general. Before joining the Ming Dynasty military camp, Ai Yan always felt that leading troops to fight was a very mysterious thing that was not something ordinary people could do. Now he found that it seemed to be as complicated as he thought! The noble men used to do it.
He seems to be able to do tricks too.
What is aristocrats? In fact, there are aristocrats among animals with a high degree of tribalization, such as the elephant group. The patriarch and elders of the elephant group have always been the direct descendants of the family. Because only the patriarch’s daughter inherits the patriarch’s memory and experience, she can bring
By guiding the tribe to find places with abundant water and food, especially when encountering unusual weather conditions, the tribe leader can rely on inheritance to lead the entire tribe to survive.
The reason why humans produce nobility is similar to that of elephants. Nobles can rely on inheritance to make the entire group competitive and risk-resistant. Among them, the inheritance of military skills is a very important inheritance. There are two main types of military skills, one is personal force, and the other is
One is the command ability. No matter how personal martial arts can be passed down, it cannot compare to mutation, but the command ability can be passed down in an orderly manner. The qualities of the command ability include knowledge of the terrain, common sense, basic calculation and coordination, and knowledge.
There is also the ability to adapt to the battlefield, the ability to command and control people, and personal charisma. Most of these qualities can be cultivated through specialized training. Places with a high degree of popularization of education can train commanders in large numbers.
But in backward places, only aristocrats have these qualities, and only aristocrats have the conditions for training in this area.
Ancient China was the first society to abandon its aristocratic tradition. Around the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the aristocracy lost its place of existence. The greatest contributor to this was Confucius, who was the representative of the National People's Congress and established private schools, freeing educational resources from the monopoly of the aristocracy.
, thereby revolutionizing the lives of the nobles. In other words, it seems that this old man has been working hard to restore the tradition of nobles governing the country. Unexpectedly, he is the one who added to the fire of the demise of the nobles.
Therefore, as long as the education problem is solved, the natural aristocracy and the inheritance of generals are all nonsense, and the sense of mystery they have will naturally disappear. The sacred feeling of noble masters in Ai Yan's heart is rapidly collapsing.

The spurs under his feet exerted force, and the horse under him sped up. The figure of a beautiful woman emerged in Ai Yan's mind. As long as he stayed in the Ming army camp, I believe that one day he would be able to bring his beloved woman to him.
Take it back.
In Datong City, Jiang Xiang was receiving a wave of guests. He had already received news of the military action in the direction of Xuanhua. In order to cope with the immediate crisis, Jiang Xiang asked Chen Qiyu and Wu Sangui from Taiyuan for urgent help. Of course, Chen Qiyu and Wu Sangui knew the truth about lips dying and teeth falling cold.
After receiving the news, Chen Qiyu and Wu Sangui negotiated urgently. In the end, Wu Sangui rushed to Datong with more than 30,000 people to help Jiang Xiang resist the imperial army.
"Wu Junmen, I have something to say directly today. Now, we are grasshoppers on the same rope. This time we are guarding Datong City, I hope Junmen can use all its strength." After a few polite words, Jiang Xiang
Let's just talk about it. They are all warlords, and they all know the little twists and turns of helping friendly forces in combat. Jiang Xiang does not want Wu Sangui to support him, only to work but not to contribute.
"Brother Jiang, don't worry. Datong is the gateway to Shanxi. There is no room for failure. I am here to live and die with Datong City."
"Your department has 30,000 soldiers. In the past two years, I have also trained 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers. The total number is about 70,000. Brother Wu has fought with the New Army. I wonder if these soldiers can ensure that the great unity is not lost?"
"Approximately how many people can they bring?"
"I don't know the specific situation, but I only heard that the troops are divided into two groups! It seems that there are two divisions coming from the direction of Xuanhua, and one division and several security brigades coming from the north. The commander of Xuanhua is Mayou Liang, the most trusted man of Hunjun, and the commander of the north is
It’s Ma Xu.”
"The establishment of the New Army is basically fixed. The strength of a division is about 13,400, and the strength of a brigade is more than 3,000. In other words, the total strength of the Xuanhua direction is about 30,000, and the strength of the north is about 20,000.
.The new army's combat strength is quite strong, and our 70,000 men may not be enough." Wu Sangui had personal experience with the current combat strength of the imperial army. When he heard that an army of 50,000 was coming, his tone became much more solemn.
"I wonder if Bachelor Chen can raise more soldiers and horses? Especially if they can borrow some Qin soldiers from Governor Sun!"
"The bachelor is coordinating this matter. What's a little tricky right now is that I heard that Baoding is also gathering troops. There may be enemy situations in the Central Plains. The governors have to take care of the overall situation!"
