Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 133

From Zhu Jinsong's rebellion to sitting in the land of six provinces, it took only a few years. According to common sense, Zhu Jinsong's army should not have many retired soldiers.

But don't forget, Zhu Jinsong always likes to cross the river by touching the rabbit. He always copies the rules and regulations of the rabbit and uses them whenever he can. Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about someone asking him to collect copyright fees.

For example, the army of the Ming Dynasty, although it has the name of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, in fact, the Five Army Commander's Mansion is basically the corresponding five theaters, and the rest of the organization, such as the army, division, regiment, and battalion, is completely copied from the rabbit. The country's army establishment, at most, is to change some parts that are not suitable for the current environment
The same is true for the recruitment of soldiers and the veterans' discharge system. Although some parts are directly copied, many places have also been modified.

Since occupying the entire Shandong, Zhu Jinsong's army has been expanding, recruiting recruits twice a year, and each time the recruiting scale is about one army, that is, about 4.

For example, the service period of flower growers in later generations is usually two years, even in the earlier period it was only three years, but the service period of Zhu Jinsong's army started from three years, and could easily reach ten years.

At the same time, Zhu Jinsong stipulated that every year some older soldiers would be discharged from the army, or converted into second-line troops similar to the armed police, or assigned to local county, state, and government offices at all levels. There are about two divisions or about 2 soldiers who are arranged to be transferred to retire.

These veterans who were assigned to the local yamen formed the reserve force together with the local farmer's association guard, and whether it was a second-line force or a reserve force, the management system was infinitely close to that of flower growers.

For example, the second-line troops are under the jurisdiction of the governor's yamen in peacetime, and the reserve soldiers assigned to the local yamen as yamen servants are under the management of the guards under the cabinet. In wartime, they are directly under the jurisdiction of the five armies.

Therefore, even without the call for reserve service, Zhu Jinsong still mobilized nearly 4 second-line troops, and reorganized the Sixth Army after breaking up with the original five armies.

According to the establishment of the Rabbit Army copied directly by Zhu Jinsong, the strength of an army is generally around 4, and the strength of the six armies is 24.

Zhu Jinsong really didn't believe it. The strength of the six armies couldn't do anything more than a collection of more than [-] troops?
Although Zhu Zhongqu’s more than 20 coalition forces claim to be a million-strong army, Zhu Jinsong thinks that is just a claim. The number of people who can really fight may not exceed 80, and Zhu Jinsong never thought of going with Zhu Zhong. Their coalition forces fought head-on.

Taizu has made it very clear in the five volumes of Dragon Slaying Art. The essence of war is that there are many people bullying the few. When one's own troops are insufficient, the best way is to use fast interspersed combat methods to create one's own strength advantage. Then concentrate your firepower to kill the opponent's inferior forces.

Regardless of whether it is the First Army of the Central Military Commander's Mansion under the jurisdiction of Liu Heming, or the Second Army of the Former Military Commander's Mansion under the jurisdiction of Zhu Erdan, or several other armies, these armies followed Zhu Jinsong when he started from Ningyang. Yes, what he is best at is fast penetration and long-distance raids.

Of course, strictly speaking, what Zhu Jinsong's army is best at is not quick penetration and long-distance raids, but ambushes and sneak attacks relying on the advantage of firepower.

This is not to say that Ming's army cannot fight frontal battles, but just as Major General Li, who fought in the Battle of Pingle, said, the character and temperament of an army are often determined by the character and temperament of the first military commander when the army was first formed. It is determined by temperament, regardless of the passage of time and personnel changes.

Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, suffered from severe fear of insufficient firepower when he started his family. Therefore, what the Ming army is best at is actually artillery washing the ground and ambushes and sneak attacks.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Huaiwen has a headache when he hears about the war—in the face of this kind of prodigal son who likes artillery to wash the ground and holds shells and grenades for money, he can be replaced by anyone to be the handle of the financial system of the Ming Dynasty Everyone has a headache.

Thinking of the direct expansion of the original five armies to six armies, Liu Huaiwen, the leader of the Ming financial system, was even more troubled.

Especially when Liu Huaiwen thought that those shells, bullets, and grenades would be thrown out by those prodigal sons as free things, Liu Huaiwen especially wanted to rush to the garrisons of these armies, and scolded them with the chief officers of these armies. Last meal.

Just thinking of his own emperor, Liu Huaiwen couldn't help feeling a little desperate.

At this time, Zhu Jinsong was giving lectures to a group of leaders in the civil service system and the military system. The people being lectured included Zeng Cheng, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, more than a dozen ministerial-level leaders, and six military-level officers in the military system. The commanders of the capital, the 24 division commanders, and Ke Zhiming, the intelligence leader.

"Now, the big and small rebels in the world want to unite to attack our Da Ming, what can our Da Ming do? We can only fight back."

"However, how to fight this battle is very particular."

"Listen to us, you can solve problems that can be solved with shells and bullets. If anyone dares to take the lives of soldiers and soldiers, we will not recognize you even if you have made meritorious service. And not only do you deny it, but you have to take good care of you when you come back!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but snorted again: "Attack the world, I don't know what our Daming did wrong, how did we offend so many people, and actually want to join forces to attack our Ming?"

Zeng Cheng secretly glanced at Zhu Jinsong, thinking that it is strange to conquer the world?If you, an old man, are like the rebels in the past dynasties, if you have the opportunity to win the country, you will quickly win over those sages and gentry, I am afraid that the whole world has already made a decision, but you are good, you have always asked for it. To establish a peasant association, one must obtain equalization of land, and offend all the sages and gentry in the world at once, how can this be good?
Of course, I secretly complained. After all, I have been with Zhu Jinsong for so long. Zeng Cheng also knows the benefits of establishing a peasant association, and also knows the benefits of Zhu Jinsong's rebellious model that does not rely on rural sages and gentry for future governance. how big.

Putting it aside, just talking about the current mobilization ability of the Ming court is definitely countless times stronger than my Tartar Qing court.

……

Wearing a brand-new military uniform, Yang Daniu looked at Xiao Xuzhuang who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and couldn't tell what it was like.

Under the big willow tree at the head of Xiaoxuzhuang Village, there are still many old men basking in the sun, and many children are still playing wildly.

Yang Daniu had seen this kind of scene countless times when he was in Xiaoyangzhuang, Qing County.

But Yang Daniu knew very well in his heart that although they were both basking in the same sun under the big willow tree, there was a big difference.

When I was in Xiaoyangzhuang, Qing County, those old men basked in the sun because they were reluctant to burn firewood, so they could only come out to bask in the sun, while these old men in Xiaoxuzhuang basked in the sun simply for the sake of basking in the sun.

Of course, they are also reluctant to burn firewood, but they have firewood and are reluctant to burn it, unlike when they were in Xiaoyangzhuang, Qingxian County, they wanted to burn firewood but had no firewood to burn.

Including those bear kids too.

When I was in Xiaoyangzhuang, Qingxian County, the children were playing under the big willow tree. It was purely because their parents were busy with the work in the field, and no one cared about them at all, so they could only gather under the big willow tree to play wildly. .

And these brats in Xiaoxuzhuang should have finished their studies and ran out to play wildly, maybe they should be dragged home by their own parents later.

Thinking of the scene of these brats being beaten and crying out for pain while being dragged home by their ears, Yang Daniu, who was clearly still single, suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Yang Daniu didn't know what he was laughing at, or maybe he just wanted to laugh.

Maybe I will marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and I will live like this when I have children, right?

Smiling and shaking his head, Yang Daniu simply walked towards the big willow tree.

Yang Daniu had to ask someone for directions first.

No way, if you don’t ask someone for directions, Yang Daniu can’t find where your home is at all—it’s been a year and a half since he left home as a soldier, and during this year and a half, he and his parents There are only a few correspondences.

Through the letter written to him by his parents, Yang Daniu knew that a new yard had been built in his home, and his parents had moved to the new yard.

Therefore, Yang Daniu, who went home to visit relatives for the first time, and possibly the last time, could not find his home.

Seeing Yang Daniu in military uniform walking towards the big willow tree, those old men who were basking in the sun stopped, and stood up one after another as if looking at Yang Daniu, while the brats ran directly to the willow tree one by one. Beside Yang Daniu, curiously surrounded Yang Daniu, jumping and making noise.

Fear?It is impossible to be afraid. My parents once said that no matter when you encounter any danger, as long as you see people wearing this kind of clothes, you will no longer be in danger. They are protecting the people. Who are you afraid of? Don't be afraid of them either.

One of the children, who was about ten years old, was more courageous. After looking at Yang Daniu for a while, he asked tentatively: "Are you Brother Big Niu?"

After Yang Daniu nodded, the child shouted happily: "Brother Big Niu, you are back! I am Xu Ergou, do you still remember me?"

Yang Daniu still remembered the name Xu Ergou, but in Yang Daniu's impression, Xu Ergou should be much shorter and thinner than now, so why is he so fat in vain.

Touching Xu Ergou's head, Yang Daniu said with a smile: "Of course I remember you, you better cry when you were young, but now Ergouzi has grown taller and grown up. After a few years Ah, I should say daughter-in-law."

Hearing Yang Daniu's words, Xu Ergou felt a little embarrassed, and said coyly: "What kind of daughter-in-law is not a daughter-in-law? There's nothing wrong with it. It's still early."

After finishing speaking, Xu Ergou looked at Yang Daniu again and said, "Brother Big Niu, have you lost your home? I'll take you there!"

Yang Daniu nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I will trouble you."

Xu Ergou let out a chuckle, and led a group of brats bouncing forward, shouting as he walked, "Brother Big Niu is back from serving as a soldier!"

When they arrived at the new yard of Yang Daniu's house, these brats stopped outside the yard consciously, allowing Yang Daniu to go home by themselves, and then each of their little heads poked their heads outside the gate to inquire about the movement in the yard.

Yang Daniu walked into the house, but he saw Yang's father was fiddling with the stove next to the door, and Yang Daniu's mother was also fiddling with the spinning wheel as usual, coughing from time to time.

Yang Daniu's eyes were sour, and suddenly he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and shouted: "Father, mother!"
