"Lushun?" Zhang Polu did not expect that the general would send him here.
"Yes, Lushun!" Zhu Youcong has been planning how to deal with the Tatars in Liaodong for the past few years. He has not yet had time to form his own navy. "Your battalion must stay here for at least half a year. During this period, Zhang Guowei will try his best to protect all your supplies.
.Is there a problem?"
"General, take your orders! As long as there is one person in my special battalion, Lushun will not fall into the hands of the enemy!" Zhang Polu secretly vowed in his heart that this time no matter what, the tragedy of that year cannot be repeated again!
"Nonsense! I want you to fight, not to die! You will all be heroes, and you must try your best to survive for me!" Zhu Youcong suddenly yelled at Zhang Polu. The Special First Battalion is his model army.
It is his hard work, and it is also the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! They should all enjoy the victory with pride.
"Yes! The last general..." Zhang Polu choked with sobs. In the past, the military orders he received were to complete the mission at all costs. When necessary, they would even be asked to give up their own lives. It is said that one general can make thousands of bones dry, and these ten thousand bones will be withered.
Gu is not only an enemy; he also has his own brothers. How many people can put the lives of soldiers in their hearts like General Zhenguo?
"If everything goes well, you can try to capture Nanguan and Jinzhou. But remember not to take risks!" Zhu Youcong suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "In this battle, there are no extra ships to transport prisoners for you. So I, the general, agree that you will get rid of me.
The people of Ming Dynasty were taken captive, even the chickens and dogs were spared!" The last four words are simple and straightforward.
"Yes!" Brothers and sisters, I'm here, I'm here to summon your souls with the blood of the Tartars.
"Lu Xiangsheng!"
"The general is here!" I have been struggling for so many years, in order to one day be able to defend my country and drive out the Tartars? Now I finally got a chance, Lu Xiangsheng quickly stood up and responded loudly.
"Go and summon the entire army. I will personally lecture you in two hours!" Sun Jizong brought middle- and lower-level officers, and the newly trained officers had not been through the baptism of war, and they were not able to stand alone. Zhu
Although You Cong has not participated in the war, at least he has some experience that can be copied by future generations. The purpose of capturing Lushun is to prevent the enemy from coming over from the sea to stab himself; and the frontal battlefield that he is responsible for is the key to the entire campaign.
!
"General, where are your subordinates?" Seeing Lu Xiangsheng running quickly to assemble the troops, Sun Chengzong couldn't sit still. He has been training here for the past few years, and seeing the Tatars fighting at his doorstep, should he still do it?
What kind of staff should I be in the rear?
"Mr. Zhisheng will stay here in Luoyang to organize and train the new army for me!" There was no other way. Zhu Youcong only had two generals under his command. Zhang Polu had already been sent out, and Sun Chengzong was also taken away. The remaining
What to do with the new recruits? We can’t pull them out at that time, and we have to fight with others through the human wave tactic.
"General, are you looking down on someone?" Sun Chengzong was very unhappy. He thought that even if he was not as good as Huang Zhong and could kill Xiahou at seventy, at least he could still pull the bolt open, and his eyes were not as good as before, but he could shoot with a new rifle from 180 meters away.
There is no problem in defeating the Tatars. Besides, as the head coach of a new army with all firearms, he has to personally go on the field and challenge others. What kind of fool would he have to be to do that?
"No!" Zhu Youcong quickly explained: "Our army is insufficient in strength and equipment. The main purpose of this battle is to drive the Tatars out of the pass, but we are unable to completely eliminate them. I left Mr. Zhisheng behind.
We want you to train our newly recruited young men into another iron army in a short period of time..."
"Training the army? So Liu Jiandou is different here?" As the army commander who has been fighting the Tatars for many years, Sun Chengzong thought that he had more experience than Lu Xiangsheng.
"Of course it's different. None of Jiandou and the others have been on the battlefield. This time I will take them to experience the cruelty of war and let them grow up quickly." Zhu Youcong finally promised: "If our army sets foot in Liaodong in the future,
Mr. Chisawa’s second army is the vanguard!”….
"Second Army?" It turns out that this is asking me to personally train a large army to lead it. This is great! Even if I can't make it for the time being and can't participate in this first battle, didn't the general say that this time I'm just going to drive it away?
Tatars, we will be the vanguard when we really want to destroy them! "Okay, general, you must keep your word!"
"Brother, I still need your help." When sending troops from Luoyang, they have to pass through the territory of Beizhili along the way. Without transfer orders, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. "Help me draft an imperial edict!"
"That's no problem. I'll ask Wang An to deliver it to you later." The imperial edict couldn't be easier for Zhu Qiji. Wang An had written it for him before. Silk paper is easy to write, and it's easy to get out of the capital.
When I was traveling, I grabbed a lot of them to plug into the gaps in the box; as for the seal on it... it's nothing without a jade seal. Is it still unfamiliar to something I used to play with every day? Just find a radish and carve two of it.
"General! Li Xin just said that he has something important to report, and he is right outside the door!" Seeing that Zhu Youcong had arranged everything and was ready to leave, Wang Zhizhen found an opportunity.
"Li Xin?" I've never heard of this name. What's important for him at this time?
"He is the cultural instructor of the Third Battalion of the Second Division. This time he brought back Li Zicheng and hundreds of others from Shaanxi." Li Xin had already submitted a report after learning that Monk Wang and others had planned a rebellion. Under normal circumstances, this kind of
The matter was not too urgent; but now that the Tatars suddenly invaded, and after thinking about what the three people said at the beginning and analyzing it a little, Li Xin felt that something was very unusual, so he came to ask for an audience through Wang Zhizhen.
"Then let him come in!" Zhu Youcong was still very interested in this talented man who could abduct Li Zicheng.
Li Xin did not feel the slightest panic because of the high-ranking generals in the hall. He did not lose the fortitude of a soldier and the temperament of a scholar. He saluted Zhu Youcong directly and said: "I have met the general Zhenguo."
"I heard that you have something important to report?" Interest is just interest, now is not the time to chat with others.
"Yes, my subordinate went to Shaanxi to obtain important information..." Li Xin did not delay and directly told the plot of Monk Wang and others to instigate Gao Yingxiang that day.
"What?" What kind of world is this? The turmoil in Shaanxi that has been going on for a long time is not because the people are forced to revolt because they can't survive, but because the Tatars are behind it? Who is the other party? How can they be so familiar with history?
"General, this matter should not be taken lightly!" Wang Zhizhen also felt the urgency of the matter. Shaanxi is on the edge of Henan, and rebels may invade the territory at any time. Now the army is about to set off. If they really cooperate with the Tatars, Luoyang will inevitably
will be threatened.
"Well!" Zhu Youcong knew that the biggest weakness of his army was its high reliance on logistics. Once Luoyang was unstable, he would not be able to fight with peace of mind at the front. Now that he has such a force behind him, he can threaten him at any time.
If you have your own sword, you have to leave an army to prevent unexpected events. But how much to leave is also a problem. If it is too little, it will not be effective; too much, and the war ahead will not be allowed.
"General, please rest assured, as long as you are here, everything will be fine in Luoyang!" Sun Chengzong could defend the Tatars so much that they did not dare to invade. Of course, he would not take those bandits and local tyrants to heart. "The last general will be here.
Commander, this reserve force is guarding Henan. During the training period, if the rebels dare to come, they will be destroyed here!"
"Okay, I will leave Luoyang to Mr. Zhisheng." Of course Zhu Youcong had enough reasons to believe that Sun Chengzong would not lose Luoyang carelessly, but he had to explain something to him. "If the enemy army comes, sir, you can
There is no need to report anything when making decisions. But remember that they are all our subjects of the Ming Dynasty. We must only punish the culprits and not ask for coercion. For those ordinary people who are forced by life, let Mr. Ruiping disperse them and come back.
Henan is properly settled!”….
In the military camp in Luoyang, tens of thousands of people gathered urgently again. The messenger had made it clear just now that the Tatars were coming again, and their army, the best in the world, armed to the teeth by the Zhenguo general, was about to embark on a journey. All of them
Instead of panicking, the soldiers felt an inexplicable excitement, especially those young people who had escaped from Liaodong. They were finally going back to their hometowns, which were devastated by the Tatars.
Standing at the end of the entire army were the newly elected officers of the New Army, and Li Zicheng was among them. It was their first time entering the military camp, and their first time seeing what a real army was. Looking at these seniors in front of them, they fantasized
One day, through my own efforts, I will be able to stand here majestically, straighten my back, accept the review of the general of the country, and then rush to the battlefield.
"Soldiers!" Zhu Youcong has always said little nonsense in the military camp. In his opinion, soldiers should be straightforward. The kind of criticism that must be quoted from scriptures and written into a beautiful article is left to the civil servants.
Go and have a hard time. "Have you received the order? Now, tell me your decision!"
"Defend the country and drive out the Tartars!" The soldiers also made their promise in the simplest words.
"Very good!" Zhu Youcong still held up his big speaker, "Back then, I once said that once you make the choice to join the army, you abandon all comfort and you have no way out, because you are my Ming Dynasty's
The Great Wall of Flesh! And now I have to fulfill my promise and go on a journey with you to drive out the Tatars! And in the near future, we will kill Shanhaiguan together and restore peace to the people of Ming Dynasty! "
"Defend our people! Promote the prestige of our country!"
This time, the reserve officers standing behind also joined the roaring ranks.
"I declare..." Such an army with high morale really does not need to do too much pre-war mobilization. Their firm eyes have told Zhu Youcong that it will not matter whether they are facing a mountain of swords, a sea of fire or an abyss.
Face it with fear. "It's a holiday tonight! Go back and honor your parents! Those who are married, leave a seed for yourself; those who are not yet married, go meet your sweethearts. We will gather tomorrow morning and set off at the same time.
