Chapter 375: Yiwu
The roaring horses conveyed to Biansai the news that Qi Jiguang had led his army into Tainingwei, and in the battle report, this military operation was no different from the past 'nest smashing' operations that spread across the northern border.
The same Ming army entered the tribe with the departure of the main Mongol force, and the tribe that lacked soldiers could not resist, the difference was only that this time the Ming army was more efficient in the battle, the military discipline was extremely strict after the battle, and not every place had battles.
A defeat can make the next defeat eventually lead to the defeat of the battle; A victory can also make the battle win one after another, and finally reap the full reward.
After the first three small tribes that were subject to the speed of Jianghai were destroyed by raising bows and throwing bows at the Ming army, the scattered and fleeing troops soon spread panic throughout the Taining Wei, and the news of the Ming army's attack on Taining was carried by galloping horses in all directions.
Then Tainingwei appeared the first tribe to surrender to the Ming army, although it was only a small department of more than 100 people, but it was enough to excite Liang Menglong, who watched the military affairs of Jiliao Baoding, the governor of Jiliao.
Liang Menglong is a native of Zhending in Beizhili, Jinshi was born in Hanlin, Zhang Juzhengmen, and successively served as the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, the military department to the matter, the Shaanxi military prince, the official department to the matter, the Shuntian Fucheng, the deputy envoy of Henan River, the political envoy of Henan Youbu, the right governor of the imperial history of Shandong, and the deputy governor of the imperial history of Henan.
In the Wanli year, he was under the main door of Zhang Ju, and successively served as the right attendant of the household department, the left attendant of the military department, served as the governor of Liaodong, and then served as the military affairs of the governor of Baoding, Jiliao.
When he was an official, he impeached the officials and the secretary, governed Henan and did not close his door at night, and served as Liaodong to lead an army of 3,000 with Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang to defeat the barbarians in a stone, and he was promoted quickly, and every term was meritorious.
You can manage the army when you get on the horse, you can govern the people when you get off the horse, and you can spray people with a pen.
At this moment, Liang Menglong personally led two generals to lead 3,000 soldiers to be stationed in Kuancheng outside Xifengkou, and immediately handed over the battle report to his own soldiers, saying: "Let the riders send back to Jizhou Town and telegraph to the imperial court...... Wait, there are a lot of letters to send, and I'll send them together when I'm done. ”
As he spoke, he ordered someone to take pen and ink, wrote three letters, and handed them to the soldiers in turn: "The first two were sent to Jizhen, and the last one was returned to General Qi, and then the rider sent a message to Liang: With me in the rear, everything is fine." ”
After saying this, Liang Menglong looked at the general who came with the teleportation battle report rider, Wu Weizhong, the general of Shanhaiguan.
Liang Menglong knew what Qi Jiguang sent him to do, and said with a smile: "Qi Shuai can't even trust Liang?" Let's go, I'll take General Wu to order the guns and armor that were transported from the school. ”
"The Governor's words are serious, and the duty of military law lies."
Liang Menglong smiled, and didn't say much, he didn't know much about Qi Jiguang's military law, when he was first transferred to Jiliao, he was intercepted by the Zhejiang army because he rode a horse outside the camp at night, even if the identity of the governor of Liangming was still taken away and imprisoned, and he was imprisoned for a night in the wooden prison, and he was also detained with two generals in the Beijing camp and a thousand households in the Beiyang Military Government.
On the way, Qi Jiguang in the training camp recognized him and did not speak, and it was not until the next morning that he released him and personally went to the government to apologize.
Their military law was codified in a book that no one could disobey.
But except for Li Rusong, who was imprisoned, no one blamed such a military law.
In fact, the Ministry of War is already sorting out Qi Jiguang's military book and has begun to promote it throughout the country.
Liang Menglong just took Wu Weizhong to the school field in the city, and on the way, he saw that Wu Weizhong's face was not very good-looking, which couldn't help but make him worried, and asked: "The front line has won the battle, why is the general's face pale, but the loss is quite large?" ”
Wu Weizhong shook his head and confessed to Liang Menglong, before he explained the reason: "The army galloped eighty miles and swept through the four divisions, and the enemy was not the Northern Capture Army, how could there be any damage, the whole army only lost 100 total casualties, and it was assassinated by the little Tartar after the war." ”
"So, why is that?"
Liang Menglong heard that it was not that the battle situation was unfavorable, he was much more relaxed, and waved forward with wide robes and big sleeves and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm worried about this batch of ordnance, every bird gun Liang has carefully inspected, the gun is newly made in Beiyang, the medicine is newly prepared in Beiyang, and the armor is transferred from Xuanfu, all of which are carefully crafted." ”
"It's not true, it's just a private matter." Wu Weizhong shook his head, the sadness on his face decreased slightly, and he suddenly turned to Liang Menglong and said, "The governor thinks that when will the imperial court stop recruiting troops in Yiwu?" ”
A simple question made Liang Menglong, who had impeached the Ministry of Justice, speechless for a while.
In the Ming Dynasty, this is an era that belongs to the Zhejiang army, the Zhejiang army has become synonymous with elite soldiers, their tactics are novel and not as new as the Beiyang Army that wants to leave the swords and guns only with birds, strict military discipline and terrifying records make everyone shocked.
If the Cantonese soldiers followed Chen Mu to ride the wind and waves to fight all over the world, then the Zhejiang army was rampant in the north and south of the motherland under the leadership of Qi Jiguang, and there was no enemy.
Zhejiang is not an important town on the nine sides, nor is it a place for fierce generals, not to mention the so-called Zhejiang soldiers...... Most of them are from Yiwu.
Tens of thousands of Zhejiang troops stationed in Jizhen Town, including 16,000 Yiwu soldiers, that is Yiwu, a place with a radius of 100 miles, so small that only Jinhua Mansion can not find this county on the map of the Wanli Emperor.
Now, Wu Weizhong mentioned Yiwu.
This made Liang Menglong ask: "Yiwu, how many hukous are there?" ”
Wu Weizhong, a general with towering cheekbones, replied almost without thinking: "There are 10,000 households, 15,610 households." ”
He didn't need to think about it at all, he patted the Yiwu recruitment roster of the Qi family army on the ground, which was a Yiwu household registration directory, and the official household registration was also detailed, and there was no shortage of forty-seven surnames and eighty-two clans.
"We Yiwu people don't have the ability to throw stones and overdistance materials, and most of them are recruited to support their families."
This is actually Wu Weizhong's very deliberate words, as a military general, he can't slander his commander, everyone knows that Qi Jiguang has achieved the reputation of the Yiwu army...... But as the son of Yiwu, he knew that Qi Jiguang had changed the habit of Yiwu people to relocate to their land, and also made Yiwu, which was already more populated and less land-limited, even more dilapidated.
On the battlefield, it is beneficial for a father to take his son and an elder brother to lead his younger brother to rush with the army, but what about their hometown?
In his hometown, the people who plough the land are women and the old and weak, the fields are barren but no one can take care of them, and the government is helpless...... And the scale of this battle that has just begun is so huge, so huge that even generals like Wu Weizhong don't know how long it will last.
I don't know where the emperor will go in the spirit of encompassing the world.
The bird gun on the school field was sounded by Wu Weizhong, and the lead shot hit the edge of the wide target a hundred steps away, he gritted his teeth and put down the gun, and suddenly bowed down on one knee to Liang Menglong, who was wearing an official robe next to him, and said with a fist: "There is a reluctant request for a humble position, and I hope the governor will agree." ”
Liang Menglong was taken aback.
"Why is the general suddenly like this, please get up quickly, but Liang can do his best, but please come."
Wu Weizhong didn't get up, but just bowed his head and said: "Please ask the governor to transport the corpses of the hundreds of dead people back to their hometowns, and the army will continue to march north on the same day, it is really difficult to take care of it...... That's a lowly nephew, who only wants to be in the soil for peace. ”
