Chapter 1082: Death to Those Who Forsake the City
Liang Yizhang went to Fuzhou and took over the affairs of the southeast, but did not easily change Ding Qirui's strategy.
Because this matter really can't be changed, I can only continue to guard Fuzhou and other places to accumulate strength and wait for opportunities.
While waiting for the reinforcements sent by the imperial court to enter Fujian, he asked Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian and other generals to train the sailors as soon as possible, and ordered the sailors to go out of the port to inspect.
During this period, Zheng Sen's warship attacked, ran to Guangdong to join the Qiongzhou naval division, and entered Guangzhou Bay, showing off his military might, but the situation still did not improve.
At the beginning of March, three generals, Wang Deren, Wang Guangtai, and Bai Wenxuan, led troops into Guangdong and Fujian, and in addition, Liu Shun, Li Chengdong and other generals were also sent to the southeast to listen to Liang Yizhang's dispatch.
At this time, Liang Yizhang saw that reinforcements were coming, and the Beiyang Naval Division had also arrived in Zhejiang, so he felt that it was time to change the passive defensive strategy.
Liang Yizhang decided to take the initiative to look for opportunities, and before that, he needed to gather a large number of generals to discuss and formulate a strategy, so that they could understand his intentions and restore the morale of the army.
Outside the city of Fuzhou, with the arrival of reinforcements, the suburbs of the city have become a sea of banners and military camps.
In the camp, the black and oppressive figures were practicing in full swing, and all kinds of shouts and cheers were endless.
Zhao Daxian rushed from Quanzhou and saw the crowd of people in the barracks, so he couldn't help but tighten the reins of his horse and slow down his horse's speed.
The general next to him said: "Governor, this is the reinforcement transferred by the imperial court from Sichuan and other places. ”
Zhao Daxian nodded, continued to gallop to the barracks, turned over and dismounted, and then ran to the big tent.
When I came to Liang Yizhang's big tent, I saw the Wei soldiers standing straight with muskets guarding outside, and a large flag fluttering in front of the line, with a long list of titles written on it, "Jianji Palace, University Scholar and Military Department, Shangshu Governor, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang Province Military Affairs Liang", which looked very majestic.
The soldiers saluted Zhao Daxian and others, and Zhao Daxian and his party came to the front of the camp.
At this moment, another group of people came over, and the soldiers standing guard with guns immediately cheered up and stood up straight for the arrival of the general.
When the group came to the front of the line, the first general was wearing a new-style cloth military uniform, two shining stars on his shoulders, wearing a military hat, shining riding boots, and a saber with a gold wire handle hanging around his waist, which was very majestic.
"Stand upright! Salute! "The soldier standing guard has his feet together and his waist is straight.
Na Wei put his dark face and extremely tall figure, put his right hand in white gloves in front of his military hat, returned a military salute in a chic manner, and strode to the front of the big tent.
When Zhao Daxian saw someone coming, his mouth opened into an O-shape, and after half a sound, he suddenly exclaimed, ", Liu Heizi!" ”
Liu Heizi has been a town guard general for more than a year, so he wrote a note to Gao Yihuan, saying that he has been away for a long time, and he wants to love his family very much, and hopes to go to Chang'an on an errand.
Gao Yihuan saw that he was earnest, so he allowed him to return to Chang'an, but did not send him anything, but let him enter the Imperial Army Academy for further study.
This time Liang Yizhang asked for someone, Gao Yihuan remembered him, so he stuffed Liu Shun in, and brought a battalion of new troops over.
He is now dressed in a new outfit that Gao Yihuan is preparing to implement, which is basically the appearance of a modern army.
The number of Wei troops is huge, the cost of cotton armor and iron armor is high, maintenance is not easy, and a lot of silver is consumed, coupled with the development of muskets, the role of armor is not as good as before, so Gao Yihuan decided that in addition to a part of the Wei army still equipped with iron armor, most of the Wei army, especially the infantry army, will be redressed.
However, this process is not achieved overnight, but there is a transition period, first try the army on the battlefield with the changed equipment to see if it affects the combat effectiveness, and then gradually implement it.
Liu Heizi walked up to Zhao Daxian and saluted, "I've seen the Xianshuai in my humble position." ”
Zhao Daxian looked at Liu Heizi like a dog, and his speech was also crepe, more energetic and majestic than him, he felt a little uncomfortable, and said casually, "General Liu is also here." ”
In the past, Liu Heizi was the leader of Gao Yihuan, and Zhao Daxian was naturally a lot shorter than him, and later Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi called him brothers, and Zhao Daxian naturally had to be respectful to Liu Heizi, but when Gao Yihuan became the queen, Zhao Daxian's status rose, and he looked down on Liu Heizi a little.
After Liu Heizi returned to the Great Wei, Zhao Daxian and he couldn't play together, and there was basically no communication.
Zhao Daxian is a duke and his status is much higher, while Liu Heizi was originally an equal to Gao Yihuan, but now he is only a marquis, which can be said to be very miserable and often laughed at.
Zhao Daxian didn't expect that Liu Heizi, who was laughed at and thought that he was mixed very badly, suddenly appeared, he was so angry and majestic, and he didn't look bad at all.
Liu Heizi said smugly: "The southeast coast is a mess, Your Majesty asked me to come over!" ”
When Zhao Daxian heard this, his face immediately sank, and it happened that at this time, someone in the tent came out and asked everyone to enter the account to discuss.
The group entered the big tent, and after a short time, several generals also rushed over.
A stable order relies on deterrence and checks and balances, and a very important point for Gao Yihuan to control the army is deterrence and checks and balances.
Soldiers use their lives on the battlefield, relying on harsh military law, and soldiers dare not violate military law, because military law has a deterrent effect and can cure them.
The expansion from a soldier to an army also requires a deterrence of force to ensure the allegiance of the army, and this deterrence is another army, or several armies.
For the emperor, if several armies of the country collude together, it is a very dangerous thing, then the emperor will lose the means of deterrence, which the emperor cannot tolerate.
Therefore, the generals of Wei are not monolithic, and there are many mountains.
Among them, the most powerful and powerful is the Wei Wu family, mainly the group of people who followed Gao Yihuan during the Wei Wu army.
Gao Yihuan fights the world, mainly relying on their group of people.
At this time, in the big tent, the people were divided into several shares, the most was Zhao Daxian's group, and the others were gathered together in twos and threes.
After everyone entered the big tent, Liang Yizhang strode out from behind the screen, followed by two guards, one holding the sword of Shang Fang, and the other holding the holy decree and official seal, majestic, and everyone was immediately quiet.
Liang Yizhang was wearing the official robe of a first-class official with a crane complement, wearing a black gauze hat on his head, and a pair of eyes glanced at everyone brightly, and then sat down.
All the generals in the big tent stood up in unison, and after he sat down, they all saluted together and said loudly: "See the Liang Pavilion Department!" ”
Liang Yizhang's expression was calm, and he raised his right hand lightly and said, "Generals have worked hard, please get up." ”
Everyone stood up and stood on both sides, Liang Yizhang suddenly looked at one person with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Gao Youcai, you come out." ”
A general came out with a cower, and said in a trembling voice: "Liang Pavilion Department~Putian City, I have done my best~"
Shortly after Liang Yizhang arrived, the Ming army attacked Putian again, and the guard general Gao Youcai fled back.
Liang Yizhang didn't listen to his explanation, and said lightly with a wave of his hand: "Take down the guards, drag them out and behead them to show the public!" ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Zhao Daxian's face became gloomy, and Gao Youcai hurriedly knelt down, "The superintendent spares his life!" Xianshuai, save me! ”
The generals in the tent were in an uproar, and Zhao Daxian stood up, "Liang Pavilion Department, Gao Youcai is known for his merits~"
Liang Yizhang raised his hand to stop it, and said coldly: "According to military law, if you fall into the city and lose your land, you will be punished if you flee." If this pavilion doesn't kill you today, how can you be worthy of those soldiers who stick to the city. Today, you are talented and retreating, this pavilion will kill you, if you come to Japan to retreat, Your Majesty should kill this pavilion to boost the army's heart! ”
After Liang Yizhang entered Fujian, he found a problem, the Fujian Wei army did not use much in defense.
Gao Youcai may not be guilty of death, but Liang Yizhang still wants to kill him, because he wants to use this person's head to tell everyone: If you don't win, you will die!
