little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 130
After Wei Xuezeng received the imperial decree and came to Ningxia, it took nearly two months, and the progress in countering the rebellion did not improve much.In two months, it was only enough to clear the periphery of Ningxia Town and recover Fort 47 in Hexi, where there were not many troops stationed in the first place.

But during the general attack on Ningxia City, trouble arose.Several strong attacks were fruitless, but the troops were lost instead. The city of Ningxia was like a hard bone, stuck in Governor Wei's throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.

When the news spread to the capital, Wanli was furious. In a small city of Ningxia, the four towns of Yansui, Yulin, Lanjing, and Zhuanglang, led by the commander-in-chief Li Yan and Ma Gui, advanced to suppress the troops. The four armies actually surrounded the city It took more than two months to get it off, which made the always arrogant Emperor Wanli's Tianyan go, and at the same time, he really paid attention to the issue of worship in his heart.

So the second imperial decree was issued, and Li Rusong, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, was transferred to be the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi rebellion army. Responsible for coordination and logistics, Li Rusong is in charge of the military, and Mei Guozhen is in charge of supervising the three-headed situation of the army.

After hearing the news, Wei Xue was restless. He had never been so eager for Zhu Changluo to come soon, preferably before Li Rusong came, because he still had a secret decree from Wanli to Prince Rui in his hand.

Xiao Ruxun is now the deputy general of Ningxia. According to the imperial decree, he should also lead troops to encircle and suppress Xiaobai at this time, but Zhu Changluo didn't tell him to move.

Seeing Xiao Ruxun's surprised face, Zhu Changluo said lightly: "Brother Xiao, do you believe me?"

Xiao Ruxun didn't hesitate at all, didn't even think about it, "Believe it!"

A word of letter is resolute and resolute, and it is hard and resounding.

Zhu Changluo felt a warm current in his heart, "If you believe me, just stay here and stay still, and the Pinglu camp doesn't move, and you won't be able to go to Mongolia if you worship. This great achievement is much more important than being surrounded in front."

Xiao Ruxun was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed, "The last general will obey His Highness's order."

Zhu Changluo nodded appreciatively. Talking to smart people is such a good thing. Some words don’t need to be too open. One click and everything will never be the same again.

The next day, Zhu Changluo left the Pinglu camp with Hubenwei and headed straight for Ningxia City.

Xiao Ruxun led the army to send for thirty miles, and watched the army go far away with his own eyes, and the extremely complicated emotions in his eyes were beyond words.

Xiao Ruxun is good at fighting, but he has fought bloody battles for half his life, and now he is only a small general. He drinks the north wind and eats sand in this fortified place every day. Now that this little prince has arrived, it is already a few days ago that he won the first battle. Being promoted to the post of Deputy Commander in Ningxia, the change was so fast that Xiao Ruxun thought it was like a dream.

At that time, snowflakes were falling in the sky, and the wilderness was vast, and General Xiao, who was half-born, suddenly felt a little elegant, and was about to recite a poem to express his mood, when Wang Yong, who didn't understand the style, came up on his horse, and looked at it in awe. The trail of yellow smoke going far away shouted in a rough voice: "General Xiao... Hey, did I call it wrong, you are now the deputy commander-in-chief, I have to change my words."

Xiao Ruxun was ridiculed by this kid for all his thoughts, and stared angrily and amusedly, "You son of a bitch, you've grown up, dare to make fun of me."

Wang Yong, who was successful in killing the enemy this time, has been promoted from deputy general to general, and he shook his hand and smiled quickly: "General Xiao, I was wrong... I am really happy for you."

Xiao Ruxun knew that he was speaking the truth, although he was moved in his heart, his face was stiffened, and he snorted coldly: "Speak up if you have anything to say, don't beat around the bush, I know how many twists and turns you have in your stomach."

Wang Yong hesitated to speak, and said hesitantly: "General Xiao, why doesn't the little prince want us to go to Ningxia City? Our big fellows didn't enjoy the killing last time, and they all said that our battle this time was all about occupying other people's Tiger Benwei. The light, the brothers feel a little bit uncomfortable."

Xiao Ruxun chuckled, and squinted at him, "It's your own idea, don't drag it on the big guy! You made such a big turn just to talk about this, right?"

Wang Yong's black oily face was a little red, "Xiao Jiang is the one who knows me."

Xiao Ruxun smiled slightly, and didn't bother to explain the details to him in detail: "Go back and think about it for yourself, and you will be promising after you understand it."

Wang Yong scratched his scalp with all his strength, and chased after him: "General Xiao, you should make it clear before you go..."

It was snowing heavily, and the north wind was bitterly cold. Zhu Changluo was sitting in the carriage, listening to the clear and rhythmic sound of the horseshoes stepping on the road. Sighed softly.

Ye He raised the car curtain and stared at him strangely, "Why are you sighing?"

Zhu Changluo shook his head, "It's snowing outside, you and Mr. Sun should come up."

Ye He was about to refuse, but suddenly changed his mind halfway.

The carriage is spacious, even if there are two more people suddenly, it doesn't feel crowded, on the contrary, it is much more lively.

Sun Chengzong was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness, do you have any ideas on how to advance and retreat to Ningxia City this time?"

A playful smile flashed in Zhu Changluo's eyes: "Teacher, speaking of a rebellion like the Ningxia Rebellion this time, it's not a rare thing in our Daming. According to you, what did you do before?"

Sun Chengzong couldn’t be bothered by this question. He was a well-educated man, and since he was a young man, he came out to study abroad, so he had a unique understanding of the military. Or supplement it with the Beijing camp, and then the big things can be decided."

Zhu Changluo clapped his hands lightly, "As expected of the teacher, what you said is very true. Now I will tell you my opinion on the battle situation in Ningxia. The teacher will see if what you say is right." He was not trying to be a joke at the moment, and thought for a moment and said: "It's different today. In the past, since the Wanli period, whenever there was a major military operation, the transfer of frontier troops to the nine border towns in the north became more and more frequent. This was due to the degradation of the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp on the one hand, and the second was that the emperor hoped to use this fast and effective method. Respond quickly to emergencies.”

One word awakened the dreamer, and Sun Chengzong's thinking eyes were gradually brightening, as if he had remembered something.

"The troops participating in the war usually come from several different places, and even the troops from the south to the north and the troops from the north to the south. In this way, not only are the various ministries not familiar with each other, but they also do not understand the language, which brings trouble to the coordination of the three armies. It is to attach importance to the coordination role of the governor. At this moment, the success of military operations is not just a matter of military performance. It depends more and more on whether the governor can effectively coordinate and whether the ministries can Activeness is fully realized.”

Ye He, who had been silent all this time, frowned and interjected: "You mean to say that whether or not Ningxia City can be taken down depends entirely on Wei Xuezeng's ability?"

Zhu Changluo's eyes were full of cunning: "It's right to say it's right, and it's not right to say it's wrong, but in my opinion, Wei Xuezeng can't make things happen after all."

Sun Chengzong, who had already figured it out, suddenly stood up excitedly: "I understand! The key to the failure is that most of the troops are private soldiers, so there will be problems of grabbing credit or self-protection. Seeing the credit, I want to grab it, but rushing into the battle, Casualties are not as expected, such scattered sand, not to mention the six-way army, even if there are two or three more routes, it will be a waste of effort!"

After the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty unified the country by force, he set up a guard system, the so-called standing army, to ensure that there would be soldiers available when wars broke out in the future.To put it simply, farming in peacetime and serving as a soldier in wartime.But after all, the time of fighting was not as long as that of farming. When the soldiers became farmers completely, they lost any combat power.

This situation lasted for a long time, until two people appeared and broke the situation with an unreasonable method, which was regarded as a precedent and was very successful.

No.1 is Qi Jiguang, and the second is Li Chengliang.

Qi's army is famous all over the world, and its advantage lies in its strict military discipline. From recruiting to training, from officers to generals, they are all their own people. In other words, apart from Qi Jiguang himself, the emperor can't control this army.There is an old saying that you can’t get early without profit. This is a true mantra. Qi Jiguang was able to train the Qi family’s army like this because he was paid high, enough, and timely. Because of these three rewards, the effect of fighting That's top notch.

The army that can rival the Qi family army in Daming and win from a distance is the Li family army in Weizhen Liaodong.Under the leadership of Li Chengliang, the Li family army was even more domineering. In addition to the generous military salary, Li Chengliang even decided to divide the land of the general without authorization!Serving as a soldier under Li Chengliang not only has money, but also land distribution. Being a soldier can be regarded as a landlord, which is quite powerful.

Therefore, the effect of the fight is even better, as if the sesame seeds are blooming.

Daming had these two people as examples, so an extremely weird situation formed.That's what Sun Chengzong just said, no matter how many troops he has, most of them are private troops.

Everyone is doing their own thing, everyone has their own little abacus, how to fight the war?How can you win the battle?

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and after a long time, Sun Chengzong sighed conclusively: "If things go on like this, Daming will be in danger."

Zhu Changluo said lightly: "Teacher, why should you be discouraged? It's too late to make up for it."

Suddenly thought of something, Ye He couldn't help blurting out: "Hu Benwei?"

Zhu Changluo nodded with a smile, "Today's Tiger's Guard, tomorrow's Tiger's Army."

Some people are so smart, as long as you give him a little clue, he will keenly catch the knots of the thread ball, and with a light shake, the whole thing will be clearly understood.Sun Chengzong is such a person, and so is Ye He.

At the same time, Xiaobai wandered around the mansion with an irritable expression on his face. The bad news came one after another, which made this new self-appointed king lose his complacency at the time. Now he is more like a beast sitting in a sad city. The perceived threat to his life disturbed him.

At this time, the core small group of the Qi family sitting next to each other was clearly divided, with Qi Chengen and Tu Wenxiu sitting on the east side, and Liu Dongyang and Xiao Yun sitting on the west side.

The battles in the past few days have been defeated repeatedly, especially the blow that Xiao Ruxun wiped out the main force of Xu Chao's attack on the Pinglu camp all the way was like a blow to the head, which cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone present.

Except for one person, Xiao Yun.

Looking at the anxious Qi Bai, Qi Yun felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart. He could foresee that this person's tragic end would come soon, and all he could do was to try his best to make this time come later... Death is not terrible, what is terrible is the torment before death, just like a cat playing with it after catching a mouse. For a cat, the pleasure of eating a mouse is far less intense than playing with it.

Xiao Yun couldn't help but smile.

"I have something for you to discuss today!" Qiao Bai turned around with a gloomy face and a heavy tone. "Today Wei Xue once sent Zhang Jie to persuade him to surrender, saying that Dang Xin is to blame for all the crimes. If the city gates are opened at this time, he will keep us all safe."

Zhang Jie is the former general of the Ningxia Army, he is well-rounded and has a good relationship with everyone present. It is difficult for Wei Xuezeng to find him, it seems that he has used his brains.

In fact, the words of Qi Bai were not finished. Wei Xuezeng did send Zhang Jie to surrender, but there was only one condition for coming with him, which was to let him kill Liu Dongyang and Tu Wenxiu with his own hands. The family is safe, otherwise the army will overwhelm the country, and when the city is broken, all jade and stone will be destroyed.

Qiaobai was quite moved by this proposal. Although the situation is not at the end of the mountain, the situation in front of him is completely different from what he originally planned. But if you drive straight in, which one of them do you still fear?
It's a pity that one move was missed, and the whole game was lost.Xiaobai's hope was completely disrupted by Xu Chao's mistake.

Liu Dongyang had an ugly face, his eyes were cloudy.

Because what Xiaobai didn't know was that the same person approached Liu Dongyang a few days ago, and the offer was exactly the same.

Liu Dongyang is not a fool, he knows what this means.

Pre-emptive?Or do you suffer from it later?Liu Dongyang has been hesitating these days.

Everyone has their own plans for what Baibai said, and Chengen was the first to change color: "Ama, you can't believe Minggou's words! We killed so many of them and occupied so many places, we will fight to the death Maybe there is still a glimmer of life, or just give up, it is no different from waiting to be killed!"

"That's right! If we surrender now, we will definitely die!"

Qiao Chengen stared dumbfounded at this man who resolutely agreed with him.

It's not my best friend Tu Wenxiu, but I have always regarded it as a thorn in my side... 哱云.
