Chapter 672: Intensive Training
It was almost evening, the sleet of the day suddenly became heavier, the pedestrians on the street wanted to break their souls in a hurry, and a large number of refugees who poured into the capital sought shelter from the rain on the corner of the corridor, their faces were full of sorrow, sadness, and helplessness......
Chang Yu stood on the street and watched this scene quietly, and no one dared to disturb him from afar, and he didn't leave until it was dusk.
The Ten Princes' Mansion is in the area of Wangfujing Street in later generations, covers an area of wide, was built by the Ming Dynasty when the ancestors were built, and was used for those princes who did not live in the palace but had not yet gone to the fiefdom, and later used as the princess's mansion, but Chongzhen had few sons and young children, and the Ten Princes' Mansion was mostly idle, and because it was the royal forbidden land, the people had always been desolate.
Years of war caused a large number of refugees to pour into the capital, looking for a place to settle down, although the ten princes are forbidden to the royal land but neglected to manage, there are many refugees who set up sheds here to settle down, and this is recently because of the Qing soldiers into the customs and refugees into the city, many people find here.
It was only in the evening that a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly arrived, and some of them who had seen the world saw that this was not an ordinary officer and soldier, but the emperor's personal guards.
I don't know that these guards don't bird them at all, and more and more people are pouring in from all directions, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands and nearly thousands of them are coming, causing those refugees who are running around to stop and watch from afar, not knowing why these guards are here.
Training!
Chang Yu was ordered to supervise all walks of life in Gyeonggi, and transferred more than 10,000 elites from the Beijing camp and the pro-guard army to prepare to meet the Qing army, but these so-called elites who have not been on the battlefield for a long time are just short-cut generals, relatively speaking, they are bigger and bigger, but if the chaotic combat power cannot be compared with the soldiers of Zhou Yuji Huang Degong who are in the front-line combat troops all the year round, and even the second- and third-rate Liu Zeqing Gaojie's men and horses can abuse them, they don't want it, let alone the invincible Qing cavalry in the field.
Especially the emperor's personal guards, listening to the fame, is also very majestic, in fact, there is nothing to do every day except for patrolling on duty, to put it bluntly, it is the security guard of the house, and the combat power may not be as good as the private soldiers of some wealthy families, this kind of vegetable melon is brought out to gradually hone for some time to fight the thief army, and the Qing army is to give away people's heads!
But there is a kind of helplessness called, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tiger mountains, knowing that sending people's heads has to be presented with both hands, although Chang Yu is unwilling but helpless, once the Qing army goes south of Miyun, they will let the horses plunder everywhere, and they may not be able to catch up if they want to chase it.
These rookies need to master some of the most basic battlefield rules, such as rehearsing formations, passwords, gestures, and tactical use, and more importantly, let them enter the combat state as quickly as possible.
As for the instructors, the soldiers of the four battalions under Chang Yu are all competent, although the Gongzi battalion is also a rookie, and in the past few months, he has followed Chang Yu's southern expedition to the north and crossed countless corpse mountains and sea of blood and became fierce pawns, the black wolf battalion is Jiang Hao's personal soldiers, and the combat power has always been the head of the four battalions, and the other two battalions are all professional troops.
However, the four battalions under his command have not yet returned to the city, and the commander of the battalions is only Wu Zhong with Chang Yu, but he is a half-hanger, but fortunately, Chang Yu still has four groups of pro-soldiers by his side, these horses are the elite selected from the tens of thousands of troops, all of them are battlefield veterans who can fight well, and they were appointed as instructors by Chang Yu at this time, and trained these elite soldiers drawn from the guards in the rain in this deserted forbidden land of the Ten Kings' Mansion.
Chang Yu's request to the instructors is simple: let them feel the cruelty of the battlefield in advance.
The sound of the wind and the rain and the shouts resounded throughout the rainy night, Chang Yu stood expressionlessly under the eaves of a broken corridor and watched the guards who were training in the rain not far away crawling in the rain and muddy, and then glanced at the refugees who were secretly watching the excitement nearby, and said lightly: "What they are dying is for their life."
"It's hard to say who is dead and who is alive, we can cut his fart and urine outside the gate, and he is still begging at the door of the house, and he will die as a whole" Wu Zhong didn't understand what Chang Yu was talking about at all, and said with a vicious face.
Chang Yu smiled and didn't speak, and Li Muxian next to him came over: "In the opinion of the overseer, how long can these raw melons and eggs be blocked?" ”
"Judging from the eyesight of the great immortal" Chang Yu asked him rhetorically, Li Muxian gritted his teeth and frowned: "Poor Dao doesn't know how powerful Tang Tong and Ma Ke's men and horses are, but if you rely on the guards in front of you, I'm afraid it's ......."
"One blow will be defeated" Chang Yu said for him, Li Muxian nodded slightly: "In fact, the overseer's concern is not the lack of troops, but the lack of war horses, if there are enough cavalry, even if it can't be stopped, at least it can be dragged until the Zhou general soldiers arrive."
Chang Yu's eyes showed admiration: "Yifang, do you know why the governor left you in the first place?" ”
Li Muxian looked a little meaningful: "The overseer has taken a fancy to the ability of the poor road to abduct and deceive."
Chang Yu laughed: "You have to use your brains to cheat and cheat, only people with bright brains can deceive others, otherwise you can only be deceived by someone with a pig's brain" He glanced at Wu Zhong as he spoke.
Wu Zhong looked dazed: "What are you looking at?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, and he quickly slipped away without waiting for Chang Yu's sentence of "look at you" to come out, and if he took a slow step, he would be kicked.
Jin Wu Siwei and Teng Xiang Siwei were the most elite of the emperor's twenty-six personal guards, and the water in them was not large, unlike the other personal guards with a serious degree of decay.
During the Taiyuan War, Emperor Chongzhen was deeply afraid that if Taiyuan lost the rules, the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed if the thieves besieged the city, and he sent one of the elite guards of Jinwu to the past, in order not to delay the fighter to improve the combat power, he poured half of the city war horse to build a nearly 10,000 cavalry thousands of miles to help.
A month ago, the thief army went all the way north, approaching the capital, Shi Kefa was ordered to go south to suppress the thieves, and the court knew the consequences of losing Baoding, so he gritted his teeth and sent another elite team of people and horses to support.
The two armies did not return from Beijing, not only did they have no elite in Gyeonggi to resist the Qing army, but the worst thing was that there were only a few war horses left in the city, and the cavalry who wanted to use infantry to fight against the Qing army undoubtedly hit the stone with eggs, not to mention that most of these infantry were raw melons and eggs, and more than 95% of them had never been on the battlefield.
The lack of war horses is Chang Yu's biggest headache!
More than 10,000 elites drawn from the sixteen personal guards, in the eyes of the veterans, were just vegetables, and at this time, they were ravaged by them under the rain and snow, and at the same time, another group of men and horses was also conducting cruel training in the wasteland near You'anmen in the southwest corner.
He is the man of Jingying.
There are three major battalions in Beijing, the Shenji battalion plays with firearms, was previously taken away by Chang Yu, went south to suppress bandits after going to fight Tartars outside the gate, this fashion is on the way back, there are five military camps left, divided into the middle army, the left and right and the left and right posts of five people, for the main battle soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp.
In addition, there are 3,000 battalions, 3,000 is an imaginary number far more than 3,000, all of them are responsible for patrolling, these three battalions are generally used to defend the city and not go out of Beijing to fight, unless the emperor personally recruits them to protect the battalion, the Shenji battalion is responsible for the periphery, the 3,000 battalion is in the center, and the five military battalions are in the bureau.
Each of the three battalions is led by a governor and a minister, that is, the second-in-command is a eunuch, and the first-in-command is the governor of Beijing, which is now Wang Jiayan.
