Ming politicians

Hong Chengchou changed his previous decision.

The reason why he changed his decision was, on the one hand, his own considerations, and on the other hand, it was also the request of many soldiers, especially Ma Xianglin, who led the white soldiers, wanted to write a blood letter on the spot.

The original plan was that He Renlong would lead [-] vanguard troops to arrive at Kuizhou Fucheng as quickly as possible, and Hong Chengchou would lead the rest of the soldiers to arrive later. The distance between the two armies should not exceed fifty miles.

Hong Chengchou led a total of 5000 soldiers. Except for [-] white-armed soldiers, the rest were soldiers from the Jiangning Battalion. Needless to say, relatively speaking, the combat effectiveness of the white-armed soldiers is slightly weaker. Therefore, according to Hong Chengchou's plan, [-] vanguard troops will be put into battle first, and the remaining [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers will be the second echelon. Then go into battle and fight, as for the [-] white-armed sergeants, they are arranged at the end.

This arrangement is also in line with the actual situation. The equipment of the white-armed soldiers is poor, and the horses are scarce. The soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion are different. Sichuan's terrain is complex, mostly mountainous, but the speed of war horses still far exceeds the speed of walking.

It was precisely because of this arrangement that Ma Xianglin quit.

The white-armed soldiers suffered a disastrous defeat, and almost wiped out the whole army. They have a deep-rooted hatred for the bandits. According to the habit of the Tujia people, when encountering such deep hatred, they must personally avenge and kill the enemy. Only the souls of the departed clansmen can be recovered An Ning, so Ma Xianglin has long thought about it.After the battle to encircle and suppress the rogue bandits began, white soldiers must participate in every battle.Of course, Ma Xianglin also has self-knowledge, the combat effectiveness of the white-armed soldiers cannot be compared with the Jiangning battalion soldiers, regardless of their personal combat capabilities.Or overall quality, there is a certain gap.

After reorganizing the white pole soldiers, Ma Xianglin led the sergeants into the Jiangning camp, and everything was trained in accordance with the requirements of the Jiangning camp. During this period, many stories happened.

The bravery of the white-armed soldiers has a certain reputation in the imperial court, especially in the battle against Houjin, which was majestic, but because of customs and habits.There are also some problems with the white-armed soldiers. The key is that there are defects in obeying the command, or in terms of military appearance and discipline. This is a fatal defect.

Military appearance and military discipline are very important manifestations of the military spirit. Whether an army can be invincible in the world depends on the military spirit. A loose style of work can quickly destroy an army.Such an army is in danger.If everyone can be united, if they stay in a peaceful environment for a long time, the end will definitely be a mess.

The reason why the white soldiers have not dispersed is because their living environment is difficult, and in many cases, life is difficult to maintain.Without entering a relatively superior environment, everyone felt a sense of crisis, so they were able to maintain it. If they had been treated like the Jiangning battalion soldiers, there would have been problems already.

so.After entering the Jiangning camp, Hong Chengchou was personally responsible for training the white soldiers. He knew what Su Tiancheng was thinking. Sooner or later, the white soldiers would be part of the Jiangning camp.

Hong Chengchou made up his mind to rectify the loose style of the white-armed soldiers. At the beginning of the training, he emphasized military discipline. Once he violated it, the officer who led the team was punished. Everyone in the squad was punished accordingly. The sergeant who violated was given [-] army sticks, and the rest of the sergeants were given [-] army sticks each. As for the responsible squad leader, he was removed from his post as squad leader. For the third violation, the sergeant who violated was directly beheaded. All the sergeants in the squad receive ten army sticks each.

This system was strictly enforced.

The white-armed soldiers who are used to being undisciplined didn't take it seriously at the beginning, and everyone laughed and laughed when they were hit with military sticks. It was only later that the law enforcement battalion strictly enforced the law and killed more than ten white-armed soldiers at one time. military law.

That is, from this time on, the white soldiers began to change.

Ma Xianglin's thinking also has a process of transformation. Baiganbing has such an understanding, which is directly related to his thinking. Although he is well-educated, Ma Xianglin always believes that leading troops to fight is to love the soldiers and understand the difficulties of the soldiers. After winning a battle, it is natural to enjoy it. Everyone puts their heads on the waistband of their trousers, and they might die one day. If you have to enjoy yourself, you must enjoy it, not to mention that white soldiers have always been hard.

Hong Chengchou didn't show any sympathy, when beheading more than a dozen white soldiers, Ma Xianglin, as the commander, also received the Ten Army Sticks, and executed them on the spot, and it was the Ten Army Sticks that woke him up Ma Xianglin, let him really understand the gap between the white pole soldiers and the Jiangning battalion.

Needless to say, the rest of the white-armed soldiers, tens of thousands of people watched their commander being pushed to the ground, his buttocks beaten with military sticks, bloody and bloody, and the beheaded heads were placed on the table. Terrible, they began to vaguely understand what is military spirit and what is military discipline.

Being able to endure hardship is the biggest advantage of the white-armed soldiers, and it is also a huge advantage of the Tujia nationality. Living in a difficult environment, they take it for granted. Therefore, Hong Chengchou's training is still progressing very quickly, but the white-armed Soldiers have lived in the mountains for a long time, and they need to be more familiar with the skills of field warfare in the plains, grasslands, and deserts.

After several months of training, Ma Xianglin felt the changes in the white soldiers. In his heart, he fully recognized the Jiangning battalion, and even thought that he was a part of the Jiangning battalion. Does the pole soldier hope to go to the Liaodong battlefield to continue its glory? Of course Ma Xianglin agreed.

What is the identity of the Jiangning battalion? The most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty, no one dares to underestimate it wherever it goes. Although the white soldiers are brave, they are after all an army of ethnic minorities. It seems that they are inferior to others. Once the white soldiers entered the Jiangning camp, their status changed completely, and Daming dared to be underestimated.

As for the idea of ​​pulling the mountain and maintaining his own strength, Ma Xianglin has no idea at all. In this regard, he has read a lot of books and helped him, and he has no narrow thinking of preserving his own strength.

After Hong Chengchou made specific arrangements, Ma Xianglin was the first to jump out and object.

He Renlong leads the leading troops, he has no objection, but out of 1 white soldiers, at least [-] must join the leading troops, and he himself will follow, all under the command of He Renlong, if the white soldiers delay The itinerary of the army is willing to accept military law.

After Ma Xianglin raised his objections, some Jiangning battalion commanders also began to put forward different views.

Xiong Zijian's speech was very crucial. He pointed out that Li Zicheng led 5000 bandits and made up his mind to attack Kuizhou's prefecture. Under such circumstances, the number of vanguard troops is too small, which may not be able to play a decisive role in the world. With [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers and [-] white-armed soldiers, the vanguard troop should have at least [-] people, so that momentum can be formed and given A heavy blow from a bandit is like a slap on the face with five fingers, and a fist to the face, the effect is definitely different.

After Hong Chengchou thought for a while, he accepted everyone's suggestions.

He made adjustments. The vanguard was still in charge of He Renlong, and he followed the vanguard. The 5000 Jiangning battalion formed the vanguard. Ma Xianglin led 3 white soldiers and followed the vanguard. The total number of vanguards reached Xiong Zijian is in charge of commanding the remaining [-] troops. The distance between the two armies cannot exceed one hundred miles. The vanguard must arrive in Kuizhou before noon on August [-]. In Fucheng, the [-] soldiers led by Xiong Zijian must arrive at Kuizhou Fucheng before the time mark on August [-]th.

The army quickly moved into action.

Considering that the rogues might ambush the sergeants not far from the capital city of Kuizhou, Hong Chengchou made a special emphasis, ignoring the small groups of rogues, no matter what kind of situation they encountered, they had to move towards the city of Kuizhou. Don't worry about the casualties of soldiers along the way. If some soldiers are left behind, they will find a way to return to Kuizhou Prefecture. The brigade will continue to move forward and will not take care of the soldiers who are behind. It is very clear that there are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Su Tiancheng, and [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers in the Kuizhou prefecture city, and there is no need to explain which is more important.

The speed of the sergeant's march was astonishingly fast, and everyone didn't even care about the physical strength of the horses.

Su Tiancheng is the soul of the Jiangning camp. In the hearts of the soldiers, Su Tiancheng is the Jiangning camp, and the Jiangning camp is Su Tiancheng. If something happens to Su Tiancheng, the soldiers feel that they will not be able to survive. As for His Royal Highness, among the many In the minds of the soldiers, the status is slightly inferior.

Looking at the galloping soldiers, Hong Chengchou's expression improved a little. He knew that Su Tiancheng and others in Kuizhou Prefecture must be fighting hard. Facing [-] bandits, the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion in Kuizhou Prefecture were facing a huge challenge. The faster the speed on his side, the more casualties of Jiangning battalion soldiers can be reduced.

As for the consequences of the rogues attacking the capital of Kuizhou, Hong Chengchou never thought about it. He believed that Li Zicheng would not be able to do it, so he should not even think about attacking the capital of Kuizhou. (To be continued..)
