0791 Own people play to death their own people
As Liu Pei continued to move forward, the closer he got to the Gyeonggi area, the more tense the atmosphere became! Many small counties saw Liu Pei's team and simply sounded the alarm, closed the city gates, and refused Liu Pei and them to approach. This can make Liu Pei angry enough!
But Liu Pei also knows why they did it? At this time, the military discipline of the Ming army was indeed corrupted to the extreme. There is already a saying among the people, saying that bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates! It can be seen how harmful these rebel armies are to the common people!
But on the contrary, the entire daimyo from top to bottom believes that the more chaotic the military discipline, the more capable the team will be! I really don't know where this idea came from? Couldn't it be that they didn't know that Qi Jiguang's troops paid the most attention to military discipline?
However, Liu Pei kelp still encountered a brave county order. When the county magistrate of this small county town confirmed that Liu Pei was indeed King Qin's team, he sold Liu Pei a batch of supplies. Anyway, a batch of food and medicinal herbs were finally replenished.
Liu Pei's team then marched diagonally to the northwest to the west side of the city of Beijing. Liu Pei's choice is the result of Liu Pei's repeated thinking. Liu Pei felt that there was not much room for him to interfere in this war.
First of all, the Houjin army sent nearly 100,000 people into the Kou this time, and this disparity in strength is not something Liu Pei can afford. And Liu Pei didn't want to cooperate with other Ming troops to fight. In that case, someone might be pushed into the fire pit.
Another point is that Huang Taiji's entry into the Kou this time is the first time to enter the customs, and his heart may not be stable. He certainly didn't know that the armaments in the gate had been corrupted to such an extent. Even if there are many people who say that the Guannai is unprepared, he must also be surrounded by the Ming army or dispersed and annihilated. In this case, Huang Taiji will definitely hold the army in a group, or move closer to each other, at a distance that is convenient for support.
Therefore, Liu Pei simply bypassed Beijing City from a distance and felt the way of the Houjin Army. The route behind them had been poisoned by the Houjin army, and they must have thought that it was relatively stable. There may be a small group of Houjin troops guarding the key points along the way, and these drinks are Liu Pei's primary target.
At this time, Liu Pei had already raised the alert level of the troops to the highest. More than 200 cavalry also dispersed, and the sentry sentry watched the wind and grass within a radius of twenty miles. Moreover, Liu Pei also incorporated all the more than 20 guards around him into the cavalry team, and used them as night guards.
When Liu Pei entered the route of the Houjin army, there were ruins everywhere! Scavenging crows hover over burned villages. On the road, in the grass and in the ruins of the village, there are sparkling bones everywhere! Occasionally, someone was busy collecting things in the ruins of the village, and when they saw the army coming, they fled in a hurry.
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone from Liu Pei down was silent, but they were crazy with anger in their hearts!
In Liu Pei's education, the people of China are the nobles. These soldiers also fully agree with the views handed down from their ancestors. But seeing their own people being slaughtered by foreign races, these soldiers were already angry in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to find the Houjin army and fight immediately!
Liu Pei also tried to get some news from the fleeing villagers, but they didn't know anything. Even if Liu Pei wants to collect information in some counties that have not been breached, he can't do it at all.
It is not that he bravely defended those county seats, but that the Houjin army did not try to attack them at all. When the people in the county heard about the arrival of the Houjin army, they sealed the city gate early, and one by one they shrank in the city like frightened birds and refused to come out. So I don't know the movements of the Houjin army at all.
There is no intelligence source, which makes Liu Pei scratch his head. And Liu Pei's team number, he really can't get behind, and the Jin army is too close. Once they get too close, they are discovered by the Houjin army and carried by a large number of horse teams, and these two thousand people are afraid that they will be swallowed up if they can't even lift the waves!
So Liu Pei, who was behind the Houjin army, had to be careful. He simply extended the range of cavalry sentry to 50 miles. And the route of the march was as concealed as possible. He didn't want to end up dying before he got out of school.
After Liu Pei's tossing, Liu Pei's troops had already approached the location of Fangshan at this time. Here Liu Pei did not get any effective information in the hands of the common people, but the cavalry captured a few scattered soldiers.
Liu Pei was overjoyed when she heard this, and as soon as she asked, she wanted to be poured cold water! This is a famous event in history that Liu Pei knew, and the collapse of the Shanxi soldiers after the looting had just happened!
The reason why Liu Pei quietly approached in this direction was to solve this matter. Liu Pei carried a large amount of grain and grass with him when he set off. In the end, I made up a lot along the way. So now he has plenty of food and grass.
If he can successfully find this group of Shanxi soldiers and help them replenish food. Maybe this group of people won't break up. Although it is said that with this group of people, the Houjin army cannot be defeated. But at least it can inflict more losses on the Houjin army. As a result, people are not as good as heaven, Liu Pei came according to vague historical records, but he didn't catch up!
It is recorded in "The Little Knowledge of the Fierce Emperor" that "Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi, led his troops to come to the aid of five cadres, and they were all strong. On the solstice, the military department was transferred to Tongzhou, the next day, to Changping, and the next day, to guard a lot of meritorious orders. On the first day of arrival, grain was not allowed, and the next day, the camp was flooded, but grain was allowed, and the western soldiers were transferred for three days, but they were not allowed to provide food. The captives have retreated, and they can be arrested by unscrupulous soldiers. As soon as they were arrested, 5,000 people scattered in an uproar and returned to Shanxi, and the thieves in Puzhong started from then on. ”
It can be seen from the text. The military headquarters in Beijing transferred troops and horses from Shanxi to and fro, but there was no fixed operational idea. Moreover, the Ming army also has a rule, that is, soldiers and horses from other places are stationed in the local area, and no food will be given on the day of arrival. Grain and grass will not be disbursed until the next day.
Therefore, under the command of the military department, the soldiers and horses in Shanxi ran around in three places in a row, and did not get food for three days, resulting in a lack of people and horses, which finally led to a mutiny.
But does this really mean that the people in the military department are stupid? I don't think so. No matter how stupid the people in the military department are, they know that these thousands of soldiers and horses are of great use in defending the city of Beijing. Don't say that these Shanxi soldiers and horses are elite soldiers themselves, even if they are scarecrows put on the city, they can be scary! But why did the military department make such an unbelievable move? This is still related to Yuan Chonghuan.
First of all. Zhang Honggong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and the governor of Shanxi took two groups of people, so there is no need to look at the records after December. According to the order of the Ministry of War on the first day of the tenth month (Ming File No. 472), the three general soldiers of Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi were issued at the same time.
