When Gao Yingxiang and Zhu Youjian were parting, they had been talking for nearly two hours. His subordinates were already restless. Looking back at Zhu Youjian's army, whether they were cavalry or infantry, they were all immobile, like one by one. Poplar trees. He secretly exclaimed: Fortunately, he chose to return...
Zhu Youjian is very satisfied with his men. If Daming's army is like these standing pines and cypresses, why worry about building slaves
"His Royal Highness, how are the talks?" Yuan Chonghuan waited for a group of officers to greet him. Just now Gao Yingxiang drew his sword. They were all taken aback. Fortunately, they were surprised.
"All go back to eat, and prepare to accept Gao Yingxiang's return in the afternoon outside the Nancheng Gate." Zhu Youjian's grin was almost as full.
Man Gui was not happy anymore. He had already prepared for the charge. In front of the cavalry in Siwu Camp, he believed that Gao Yingxiang's mud-legged soldiers could completely disperse them and become Siwu without two charges. Ying's plate lunch, "His Royal Highness, how can you allow them to surrender? This battle has not been fought yet..."
Zhu Youzhen glared at him fiercely, and Man Guicai lowered his head and retracted into the crowd.
Gao Yingxiang's subordinates didn't have many objections. They were originally peasants, and they fought to fill their stomachs. Now Zhu Youzhen drew them a cake that was so big that they had never seen it before. What battles did they fight
Moreover, with 40,000 horses, Zhu Youjian quickly put down the army of the "Four Kings", which was far beyond their imagination. Even if they can defeat Zhu Youjian, the imperial court will appoint Wang Youjian, Zhang Youjian, and Li Youjian.
They are just relatives, friends, and neighbors who gathered around Gao Yingxiang, and they have always looked forward to Gao Yingxiang's horse. The main general Gao Yingxiang has returned, are they still fighting
In the afternoon, outside the south gate of Yansui City, Gao Yingxiang's 63,000 soldiers handed over all their weapons and lined up to wait for Zhu Youjian to be surrendered. This time, they stood extraordinarily tall, like soldiers from the Siwu Camp.
Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything, he believed that Gao Yingxiang had already told them his plan. Now that they have surrendered, they have to give them some self-esteem and don't put salt on their wounds.
Yuan Chonghuan led the soldiers to take the surrendered bandits down, while Zhu Youjian was busy writing two letters.
One is from the military newspaper, "Shaanxi's banditry has all subsided, and more than 170,000 bandits have been captured..."
The other letter is a private letter, entrusted Li Chunye to forward it to the emperor, suggesting that Zu Dashou should serve as the trilateral governor, restrain the soldiers and horses of the four towns of Gansu, Ningxia, Guyuan, and Yansui, and rectify the military affairs of Shaanxi; suggest that Gao Yingxiang be the prefect of Yansui and be responsible for the resettlement of northern Shaanxi The people and refugees are not allowed to leave Shaanxi and live in the capital. In the end, Zhu Youjian believes that now that Shaanxi is tentatively set, the military and political events have not been fully developed, and the Mongol and Tatar tribes in the north cannot fail to prevent them. Leaving Shaanxi.
It took Yuan Chonghuan an afternoon to arrange more than 63,000 soldiers. There are not so many prisons in Yansui. These disarmed peasant soldiers live in military camps temporarily and are under the control of Siwu Camp.
After dinner, Zhu Youjian gave a long hiccup, "Send the commander, notify the battalions, the commander of the guard, and General Mangui to come to the meeting."
This meeting is mainly a summary of the counter-insurgency war. Summing up after each war is a habit that Zhu Youjian has cultivated since the beginning of Siwuying. Although the officers are not literate, over time, everyone will make progress, become more disciplined, and more strategic.
Everyone participating in the conference must speak, no matter whether your conclusion is clever or inferior, no one will laugh at you, others will only modify your ideas.
The officers all spoke enthusiastically, especially focusing on the first battle in the same state, starting with artillery attacking the city and ending with mines. Everyone was full of praise for Daming's firearms, and even the three generals of Liaodong felt that the firearms of Siwuying were more powerful than those of Liaodong.
"Although firearms are important, the battlefield is mainly dependent on people." Zhu Youjian is not a weaponist only, "If we encounter slaves, we will definitely not win so easily."
The Liaodong trio also kept nodding their heads. They had the most say in building slaves.
"In addition, General Yang Du probably had a lot of complaints in this battle," Zhu Youjian looked at Yang Du, "In addition to being a Chinese army, it is difficult to have a chance to charge and fall into battle. The reserve team is also a very important reason."
Yang looked at Zhu Youjian blankly. He confirmed that Zhu Youjian trusted the Liaodong trio, especially Man Gui. Even Zhu Youjian's generals dared not comply, but he was not punished.
"You can't throw all your troops in a war. You generals must know better than me. In a well-matched battle, a small group of troops can boost morale and even be the last straw to overwhelm the opponent." Zhu This war was gathered by the inspection team. "Under the city of Yansui, Gao Yingxiang had more than 60,000 soldiers, but only 50,000 came out of the city. This shows that Gao Yingxiang attaches great importance to the role of the reserve team."
The battlefield summary was finally over. Several generals picked up their tea cups and drank, and the impatient Man Gui got up to leave.
Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand and pressed the button and motioned him to sit down, "Shaanxi banditry, wherever the soldiers go, the frontier army often deviates, and the emperor is furious. The trilateral governor, Shaanxi governor and chief envoy will be severely punished." Youjian's gaze swept across the crowd and found that they were all drinking tea on their own, as if Zhu Youjian was talking about something that had nothing to do with them.
"We are soldiers, and civil servants are beyond our control. I have passed a letter yesterday, suggesting that the emperor and the Ministry of War should appoint Zu Dashou as the trilateral governor and have full power to train Shaanxi soldiers and horses."
Everyone seemed to be hit with duck blood suddenly, especially the Liaodong trio.
Zu Dashou’s right hand teacup fell. He hurriedly stretched out his left hand and barely grasped the teacup, but the tea in the cup had been completely poured on the ground, with a few tea leaves hanging on the mouth of the cup; Yuan Chonghuan’s tea just drank in his mouth, and he forgot to swallow it. He stared and looked at Zhu Youzhen. The tea slowly flowed from his lower lip, like a trickle; Gui's big mouth was wide open, and his eyes turned straight in the middle of the eye sockets, as if they were separated by Zhu Youzhen. I tapped the acupuncture points empty, except for the eyeballs, where they lost the ability to move.
"What do you think of the generals?" Zhu Youjian pretended not to see anything, just smiled and watched the tea in his cup float up and fall slowly.
"His Royal Highness... I..." Zu Dashou hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"His Royal Highness... This..." Yuan Chonghuan's face flushed, and he didn't know what to say to express his dissatisfaction for the time being.
"General Zu does not have to resign. From the commander of the Yaowu Camp to the governor of the three sides, you can't rise so quickly. However, Shaanxi's armed forces are slack and urgently need to be rectified. I know that General Zu has this ability and is ready to guard the northwest for a long time. Right! But whether the emperor agrees or not." Zhu Youjian snickered in his heart. If Yuan Chonghuan did not respond, then he was not Yuan Chonghuan who was always ready to make contributions.
"The general will obey, and the military and horses of Shaanxi must be rectified at the end to serve as a good barrier to the west of Ming Dynasty." Zu Dashou put down the teacup in his hand, wiped off the water marks on his clothes, stood up and paid a military salute to Zhu Youjian. .
"General Yuan, what do you think of this matter?" After Zu Dashou sat down, Zhu Youjian turned his eyes to Yuan Chonghuan.
"I... I..." Yuan Chonghuan hesitated.
"I know General Yuan is dissatisfied. However, in terms of military merit, you also cannot be promoted to the trilateral governor. You just feel that you are not inferior to General Zu, do you?" Zhu Youjian looked at Yuan Chonghuan this time with a much gentler gaze.
"..." Yuan Chonghuan lost his eyes, just nodding mechanically.
"General Yuan, do you know the difference between you and General Zu?"
"I don't know it at the end, please make it clear, your Highness." Yuan Chonghuan got up from his seat with a "boom" and looked down to face Zhu Youjian. Even the kindergarten children knew that he was very angry now.
"The ancestor general leads the troops, he is good at stability and is good at defense; you, General Yuan, is also an excellent general, brave, resourceful, and good at offensive." Zhu Youjian paused for a while, "The task of the trilateral governor is to defend Jiayuguan. The Yarkand Khanate to the west and Tatar Mongolia to the north of the Great Wall. In a short time, the imperial court will not use large-scale troops here, do you understand now?"
Yuan Chonghuan seemed to hit duck blood again: "Liaodong? Is the court planning to use troops in Liaodong?"
"Yes, Liaodong." Zhu Youjian looked appreciatively, and he was really savvy. "Jiannu has eaten up the entire Liaodong. If nothing happens, the next national war in Daming will be Liaodong. I don't know whether General Yuan is willing to serve the country. Make a contribution?"
"The general will be willing to command the troops, expel Jian slaves, and restore Liaodong." Yuan Chonghuan's blood finally found a breakthrough. This time, he gave Zhu Youjian a military salute from the heart.
"General Yuan, it is the duty of a soldier to obey, whether it is a soldier or an officer. Jealous of his comrades will form vices in the army and eventually disintegrate the army's combat effectiveness. It is okay to strive for meritorious service on the front line, and to get promoted and get rich is one The beginning of the support." Zhu Youjian became severe again. Zu defended Yuan Gong. His heart was still proud, but only when they united can they exert the greatest positive energy. If they are jealous of each other, Dismantling the Taiwan, the army will become independent scattered sand.
"The final will know what is wrong, and the final will be willing to be punished." Yuan Chonghuan knelt in front of Zhu Youzhen with a "poof", his forehead knocked heavily on the ground.
Just now, the water in the Zu Dashou cup was spilled on the ground, and the tea was flowing next to Yuan Chonghuan's seat. Now Yuan Chonghuan knocked his head on the floor, just hitting the wet place, even his hair was stained with mud.
Zhu Youjian lost another white handkerchief to help Yuan Chonghuan wipe the mud on his forehead, "General Yuan, just understand, why do you need to?"
"His Royal Highness, what about me? They all have a destination, only me..." Man Gui and other Zhu Youzhen wiped the mud on Yuan Chonghuan's forehead, and also paid a military salute to Zhu Youjian.
"You?" Zhu Youzhen stared, "Where are you going there? Last time I asked you to assist the two generals Zu and Yuan. You violated the military order and robbed your head without authorization. I haven't asked you to settle the account..."
"..." Is it possible to be punished for fighting for meritorious service? Man Gui was crying and sad, and he sat down swayingly, full of unwillingness.
