Chapter 409. Differences

The Ming Dynasty still had hard bones! Even when the Yongli Emperor cursed the water, the hard bones of the Ming Dynasty were not over!

Lu Xiangsheng is one of them.

He was really worried about the country and the people. He handed over the military pay and food with Yang Sichang and his next strategic deployment. He did not sleep all night. The next day, Lu Xiangsheng did not even have a rest and headed towards Changping directly. In the afternoon, he arrived at Changping camp.

The subordinates of the third general of Xuan Dazhu, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, and Wang Pu, plus the 20,000 people directly under Lu Xiangsheng, were already the first to gather here to stand by.

To be honest, after Lu Xiang was promoted to office, Xuanda's army did not become more, but decreased.

There were four million troops in the Ming Dynasty, which was really real. However, the army was divided into garrison troops and combat soldiers. The mainland was divided into garrison troops and three parts defended the city. The border towns generally had garrison troops and garrison troops and four or five parts defended the city. But that was the old Huangsheng period of the Hongwu Yongle period. The mainland garrison stations almost became all garrison residents, all of them became hoe soldiers. The border towns were just the opposite. The large number of recruits of soldiers increased a large proportion of war soldiers, while the garrison troops were fled and occupied, which caused the number of garrison troops to drop sharply.

The suffering of military households in the Ming Dynasty was unimaginable. The Xuanda border soldiers were nominally deceived by 400,000, and they fled for years and died. In fact, only 150,000 or 60,000 were extremely poor. In the twelfth month of winter, soldiers were wearing single clothes to patrol the border and shivered. So after Lu Xiang was promoted to office, he took the same path as Sun Chuanting and Mao Jue, who is now, to farm!

The Xuan Da Zhan soldiers were originally more than 70,000, but Lu Xiangsheng eliminated the old and weak and incorporated into the village households. Only more than 30,000 were left. They restored the military farming and recruited Yan Xing, who was to climb over the border with hoe seeds in spring and farm on the land of the Mongolian tribes. In the autumn, they were harvested and then returned to the gate. In the past two years, Xuan Da's army was good. In the camp, several platoons of spearmen were patrolling with spears in an orderly manner, and the large and small cannons were also arranged in a shiny manner.

However, Lu Xiangsheng is not as bold as Mao Jue and is so extraordinary. He is arbitrarily opening a border market. Xuan Dajun is also more powerful and has to rely on the court to support supplies. Unlike Mao Jue, he is so awesome that he opens a supply line by himself. These personal soldiers beat drums and tents, and Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu and others are already hurried in with helmets in their arms.

"The last general will pay homage to the supervisor!"

"Please get up!"

After a ceremony of superiors and subordinates, the general Wang Pu, the general with a big head, a round face, and a playboy, asked in a hurry.

"Supervisor, has the court's food and supplies been provided for assistance!"

There is a reason for him to ask this question. On the one hand, Xuan Dabing was a guest soldier. He went to the capital to fight, and relied on the Ministry of War to pay grain and pay. On the other hand, the Ministry of War had a history of Shanxi. In the third year of Chongzhen, Shanxi Governor Geng Ruqi and Shanxi General Zhang Mengjing supervised 5,000 soldiers to serve the king. The Ministry of War had a successful example. After the guest soldiers were stationed for a day, the Ministry of War released grain. As a result, in order to save food and pay, the Ministry of War mobilized Shanxi soldiers to station three places in three days.

Originally, when we came from all the way to help, we were tired and hungry. We were tortured for three days and hungry for three days. The soldiers in Shanxi simply mutinized and returned to Shanxi. A large part of them joined the bandits, and Geng Ruqi and Zhang Mengjing also abandoned the market and beheaded.

When we came to war in the foreign town, we were not worried about the Qing army, but the court first, which shows how ridiculous it was in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, these words made Lu Xiangsheng's face turn dark and he scolded him angrily.

"A real man joins the army and does things that protect the country and bleed on the battlefield. If the court does not pay food and pay, will you not fight?"

"I dare not!"

Lu Xiangsheng's scolding made the generals shudder and lower their heads, but their morale was obviously depressed in their words. The subconscious in the words of his own supervisor was probably not confident in the Ministry of War, and Xuan Da's troops still had to go hungry.

Just as Lu Xiangsheng said, he could not eat food, but he still had to fight. He summoned the generals to describe his experiences and experiences in Beijing. He immediately went to inspect the camp and prepare for the next fierce battle. It has to be said that Lu Xiangsheng is really a rare general of this era. His command of the Biao Battalion is neatly arranged and has a high morale. Although the third general of Xuan Dada was almost 20,000, he was in order and was much stronger than the officers and soldiers in the mainland. At least Yu Dacheng's Biao Battalion was not as good as that of the war. When the entire army was about to be ready.

Moreover, compared with Dongjiang, Xuanda's cavalry proportion is even higher, with 24,500 people and 7,000 cavalry, almost one-third, and Mao Jue's cavalry number is less than one-fifth of the entire army. However, many of the Dongjiang infantry also have mounts to transport equipment, but they are not used as cavalry.

Just in the evening, Lu Xiangsheng had just finished patroling the camp. Outside the camp, drums and music sounded again. Several personal soldiers ran in and excitedly ran in and knelt in front of Lu Xiangsheng's horse and reported.

"Supervisor, Your Majesty has sent Eunuch Gao to reward the army!"

Lu Xiangsheng was also inspired by this incident.

But then, he witnessed how stingy Emperor Chongzhen was. Although Gao Qiqian did not come empty-handed this time, the reward silver he brought was only 30,000 taels, which was still nominal. According to the usual deduction, he could have 23,400,000, which was considered to be a big face for Lu Xiangsheng, and only Xuan Dajun's military pay a month. If he paid one person, he could barely have one tael of silver, which was converted into less than two thousand yuan in his future generations.

Then there are 100 imperial horses, 100 Taipu Temple horses, and 500 silver iron whips. These things are valuable, but they cannot be directly exchanged for silver. In the season of the war, they must be fully replenished in combat power, and they will still fight for his old Zhu family.

If it were Mao Jue's Dongjiang Army, I would have disdained it. Dongjiang usually pays two taels of silver a month, almost four thousand yuan, and adds rice and grain to seven or eight thousand yuan. However, for the loyal Lu Xiangsheng, this was enough to touch him.

Your Majesty is indeed inclined to the main battle!

"I thank you for your kindness!"

Gao Qiqian slept in the capital for a long time. A fat, loose-fitting old face blushed. After reciting the imperial edict in a slight manner, he was extremely excited. Lu Xiangsheng bowed his head and answered the edict.

Yue Fei once evaluated the standard for evaluating Anbang, that is, civil officials do not like money! Military officials do not hesitate to die! Lu Xiangsheng was a civil officials, but he did both of them. He did not keep a penny of less than 30,000 taels of silver, and distributed it to the soldiers on the spot. The war horses were also distributed to the cavalry. The silver hair and the other end were patrolling side by side with Gao Qiqian.

Yesterday, I mainly informed each other about the information about the Qing army. I had not taken out the specific plan for marching and resisting. I was just in time to communicate. While walking, Gao Qiqian looked at the inspectors in admiration and nodded.

"The only soldiers in the world are nine sides, and the soldiers in the nine sides are the Liao Town. But our family supervises those Liao Town soldiers, which is much more difficult than Xuan Da's army under the command of the commander. It's better to supervise the commander to train troops!"

However, as soon as the topic changed, Gao Qiqian turned his head with intention and looked towards the northeast.

"But Jianlu is not easy. After years of fierce fighting, the 200,000 Liao troops have failed to achieve anything. They have repeatedly lost their troops and humiliated the country. Now Jiannu has entered the capital and the leader of the 100 most important places. We generals must be cautious and make His Majesty worry. Lord Lu, do you think it is right or not?"

"I am the main battle!"

Lu Xiangsheng said something and immediately choked Gao Qi there again.

This battle is not about fighting with the Qingting or discussing peace. After all, Huang Taiji had invaded the Central Plains. Chongzhen's arrogant personality would never sign a alliance under the city no matter what. Even if he wanted to negotiate peace, he had to finish the battle. Lu Xiangsheng's battle meant a field battle!

The entire Ming Dynasty, the combat ideas of Jiannu were all the old routines left by Yuan Chonghuan when he was the time. The enemy was good at fighting in the field, and the imperial court's army was good at defending the city, and used heavy artillery in the city to defeat the enemy's courage! In other words, the turtle was hiding in the turtle shell and shouting at the middle finger of the Qing army tree: If you have a genital, come and beat me!

Gao Qiqian means to remind Lu Xiangsheng that you can just guard the city, block the two portals of Changping, Tongzhou, and keep the capital safe and sound. Emperor Chongzhen is fine. Just don’t worry. Just grab the points of these Jiannu, so don’t cause trouble.

But Lu Xiangsheng is really the stone in the pit, smelly and hard. Yesterday, he summoned him on the platform and said that he had made Emperor Chongzhen slightly change his color. Now, the slogan remains unchanged.

However, Lu Xiangsheng does have his reasons.

"Dadonnacle, what is this place? The capital of the Ming Dynasty, where the soldiers and horses gather in the world! Let the Hu cavalry run wildly, what is the face of the Heavenly Dynasty? How arrogant is Jianlu? The king's army does not even have the courage to fight back. It is hard to guarantee that the shame of Jingkang will not be repeated! By then, you and I will be sinners for the eternal period!"

The shame of Jingkang is the most shameful scene in Chinese history. Five hundred thousand soldiers guarded Bianliang, and did not dare to fight the Jin army's army's army's army's army's army's army's army came from afar. In the end, they had to pay the Jin people's desires. They even had to return the imperial concubine, princess, royal concubines, and ministers' daughters as silver and money, and gave it to the Jin family barbarians as slaves. Men did not dare to shed blood, so they had to rely on women to shed tears to end the war. However, this did not bring peace. After the withdrawal of the army, the Jin army immediately fought back again, captured Bianliang, captured the two emperors Hui and Qin, and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty.

Lu Xiangsheng said it was passionate, but the communication was broken, and his face was gloomy. Gao Qiqian simply warned: "Your Majesty is still watching in the capital, Lord Lu is willing to take care of it!"

As he said that, the high-powered eunuch turned gloomy and left.

Watching him leave, Lu Xiangsheng's face also looked a little ugly.

On the issue of war and defense, several of the highest military commanders of the Ming Dynasty took the lead in disagreement and cracks.

…………

However, Lu Xiangsheng is Lu Xiangsheng, a man who implements his beliefs to the end. Even so, he still actively investigates and deals with the Qing army and is ready to send troops at any time.

And this fighter plane came so quickly.

After all, the army was alone and the Qing army could not carry food supplies on their backs. Tongzhou was stuck by Gao Qiqian's Guanning army. Changping was the Xuan army with Lu Xiangsheng. Although the capital had more than 100,000 Yuan camps, they were still more than 100,000. After a few days of confrontation in Tongzhou, even Huang Taiji was impatient and began to move troops around Changping, Tongzhou and invade Hebei.

Just like the Battle of Sarhu, the Qing army's activities divided into three divisions also gave the Ming army a chance.

The entire Changping Camp gathered nervously.

It was not all the staff to be dispatched. When facing Emperor Chongzhen's advice, Lu Xiangsheng's strategy was to send out surprise troops! Outside the pass, the Ming Empire often suffered losses from external combat. He was repeatedly invaded by Jianlu spies and ambushed behind him. Now he is fighting the domestic battles of the Ming Empire. Here, the Ming Dynasty is the home court, so this advantage must be taken advantage of! Like the War of Resistance in Later generations, various surprise troops were elusive and the Qing army was caught off guard. They had to be careful step by step, waiting for their mistakes, and praised him in one breath. This is Lu Xiangsheng's combat thought.

Because it was a surprise attack at night, all the generals and generals led their personal soldiers to fight with elite soldiers and formed an elite suicide commando of 5,000 cavalry. Lu Xiangsheng's only hobby for horses. During this assault, he also rode out his best horse Wumingji. His mighty phoenix winged helmet, strong Wenshan armor, and a horizontal sword immediately before the entire army. Lu Xiangsheng was in full spirit and loud command.

"The knife will show blood! People will be injured! Horses will be panting and sweating! Those who violate the order will be killed!"

With a loud response, the iron cavalry rushed out like a torrent of water.

The personal soldiers followed the left side of the team with big flags, sprinting on small steps while controlling the horses, while Lu Xiangsheng asked the people around him solemnly.

"Boxiang! Has the military order sent to Eunuch Gao been conveyed?"

"Don't worry, the commander of the commander, Eunuch Gao has read your handbook personally, and the general of Ji Town Chen Guowei also accepts the order. As long as we defeat the Jianlu camp, the soldiers and horses of Ji Town follow up, and Eunuch Gao's Guanning Army will follow up again, and he will definitely defeat Jiannu and flee in a panic!"

"very good!"

Stopped by his confidant, the confident words of Fang Yang Tinglin of the Ministry of War, Lu Xiangsheng also showed a look of relief, but soon, this expression was replaced by fighting spirit and murderous intent. Looking at the north, the governor, who was born in the literati, looked as deep as water and as bright as stars.

It was already October 12, 11th year of Chongzhen. After breaking the pass, it was like a more than half a month. He did not encounter any decent resistance from the Ming army. Even Huang Taiji became much more relaxed. As the vanguard, Dorgon's troops headed around Changping and headed towards Yizhou, Laishui, Hebei Xincheng. Tulai, Yuetuo, Yuele and others were still robbing in Jizhen, Pinggu, Zunhua, and Fengrun. The central army, which confronted Gao Qiqian in Tongzhou, was also collecting the gold, silver, people and animals that had been snatched these days and preparing to march westward.

The entire Qing army camp was busy and excited.

One mile on the edge of the camp, several Qing Mongolian light cavalry surrounded by a bonfire drunk, filling the spirits that had been snatched from nearby villages. The Mongolians were good wine, and the grasslands did not produce grain. The alcohol content of horse milk wine was really low. Dongjiang produced corn and white wine, but it was not something that the soldiers and the people were drinking. Only on the land of the Han people could drink like an old man.

As for the alert task? It doesn’t matter. These Ming people are cowardly like sheep. How dare they take the initiative to cause trouble for the Qing army?

When we were in the mood, the ten Mongolian emperors were still very happy and picked up the wine glass and met the bright moon.

Unfortunately, the fart poem was not overwhelmed, and there was a cold arrow on his neck. He turned his back and died and fell to the ground. The Mongolian soldiers were still laughing and mocking his leader for being unable to drink. But a few arrows like locusts came one after another. In the thumping sound, several other Mongolian light cavalry were also lying drunk on the ground.

Just now, the surviving Mongolian cavalry woke up from their worries. They climbed onto their horses and turned around and ran wildly. However, the third round of arrows enveloped them like the god of death!

In the late Ming Dynasty, why the border army became more and more personal to military forces was because it was necessary to deal with the needs of war. Great war had become a thing of the past, and responding to small groups of Mongolian invasions became the norm for border wars. Although large military expenses were spent on small troops, weakening the combat effectiveness of the entire Ming army's border army, these personal soldiers were far stronger than those ordinary Mongolian light cavalry.

This is what they do to do with their old career, and they are familiar with the road. They walk in front of the camp and easily sweep away the scouts of the Qing army. When the heavy horse hooves shocked Huang Taiji's camp, it was too late!

"Ming Dogzi!"

Amid the horrified screams, the Qing army on the fence controlled the bows and arrows and gathered in panic in a row. With the sound of horses, the five horses with thousands of miles of horses flew high above their heads. The last impression of the Qing army of this world was that a machete flew, and then the world rotated violently.

The machete that could be used for hundreds of kilograms was even more thoughtful. On the battle formation, the long sword of more than ten kilograms was even more attentive. This was Lu Xiangsheng's tactic. He took the lead in cutting a gap for the army. The bloodthirsty Tianxiong Army then used a mace and a hammer to smash the simple fence of the Qing people, and slashed the Qing army's neck with a cadence.

There were cavalry galloping everywhere, and the Qing army, caught off guard and fleeing in panic, were chopped down to the ground one by one. The Ming Dynasty also had iron cavalry, easily drilled through the front camp and waved a big sword. Lu Xiangsheng rushed towards Huang Taiji's central army with blood stained with his battle roar. The huge machete suddenly smashed the second fence, with his hair and beard all wide, and the war god roared like a war god.

"kill!"

A few hundred meters away, Huang Taiji rushed out of the camp and happened to see this scene. A familiar fear burst out in his pupils.
