Wanli 1592

Chapter 540 For the first time, Xiao Ruxun had doubts about the philosophy he insisted on

Chai Guozhu didn't finish all the words, but Xiao Ruxun knew exactly what it meant.

Don't say that I am not a civil servant, even if I am a civil servant, even if I am the chief minister of the cabinet, I may not be able to fight the Shanxi business group right now. This interest group is too big and powerful. If you want to abolish them, it is better to just send troops to plunder Kill them all.

They have developed to the present, and have become cancer cells. Like all cancer cells, normal medical methods will not work, and special methods must be used. To deal with such a huge interest group that has already achieved invincibility, There is no other way but physical destruction through violent actions.

But if you really want to do this, Xiao Ruxun will become the public enemy of the Ming Dynasty. From then on, the greatness of China will no longer have a foothold. If you want to survive, you must either flee north or west, or simply raise a banner to rebel, but these are not long-term solutions. It is impossible to succeed, so this method was not in Xiao Ruxun's consideration from the beginning.

Besides, what else?
"I've remembered what Zongbing Chai said. Let's not talk about these Shanxi merchants for now. Those northern captives should have no shortage of food. Why didn't they return to the north instead of doing such a weird thing?"

Chai Guozhu looked confused—you are an admiral, you are a famous general, you ask me?

"The final general really can't figure it out."

Xiao Ruxun nodded helplessly, feeling that it was a bit of a mistake for him not to bring Yuan Huang. He thought it was just a simple war, but it turned out that such a deep inside story was involved. , what would be their purpose?
Lack of counselors!As long as there is a trustworthy counselor by his side, I am afraid that he will not face such an embarrassing situation now.

After all, Xiao Ruxun didn't know much about Shanxi, and Li Rusong and Chai Guozhu were not locals, and they didn't know much about it. More importantly, even if they knew, they wouldn't advise Xiao Ruxun like qualified counselors.

The power of a person is really too small, even if he comes from the future, even if he can bring out an elite army and use future weapons, but in the face of such a situation, there is still nothing he can do, he is so lonely, so lonely that he is alone in the whole world There is no second companion on the land of Huaxia Shenzhou.

For the first time, Xiao Ruxun had doubts about the philosophy he insisted on.

After Li Rusong disposed of all the captives, he came to Xiao Ruxun's side and saw Xiao Ruxun staring at the food in a daze. After thinking about it carefully, he knew what was going on with Xiao Ruxun. He had nothing to do about it. He was arrogant, but He is just using his arrogant name to benefit himself.

Does he really dare to fight against interest groups?

Li Rusong is not stupid.

"Admiral, what should we do now? The northern captives here have been dealt with, but more are missing. What should we do?"

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath and suppressed the frustration in his heart.

"Send sentry cavalry and walk westward. If you can see living refugees along the way, it's like they asked if they saw the whereabouts of the Beilu army. More than 3 Beilu army can't disappear, and they will definitely leave traces , As long as you know where they are going, you can know what their purpose is."

Li Rusong nodded: "No!"

Then Xiao Ruxun gave Chai Guozhu an order.

"Chai Zongbing, you send people to load all these grains into cars and load them separately. We have enough supplies provided by the imperial court and there is no shortage of grains. Now use these grains as disaster relief food. If you find refugees along the way, give them to them." The grain allows them to survive this winter, so it can be considered that the wool comes from the sheep!"

Chai Guozhu looked at Xiao Ruxun and nodded in agreement.

This admiral is a rare person with a heart for the world. Unfortunately, if he was born at this time, if he was born in the era of Taizu Dingding Tianxia or Chengzu Jingnan, he would be able to make greater contributions.

Xiao Jixin, you were born at the wrong time!
After that, Xiao Ruxun led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, gathered [-] soldiers and horses, and left the remaining soldiers and horses to guard Zijing Pass. He led the main force west of Zijing Pass and marched all the way to the west of Shanxi. When they arrived at Lingqiu, the Sentinels got important information.

A large number of Beilu cavalry turned south from this area ten days ago. I don't know what they were going to do, but before that, the Beilu army had divided their troops here, and the main force went to Zijingguan. Just went south.

This strange movement made Li Rusong and Chai Guozhu look at each other, unable to figure out the reason behind it, while Xiao Ruxun fell into deep thought.

After Beilu broke through Pingxingguan, the troops were divided into two groups. The main force attacked Pingxingguan. Now, the direction going south should undoubtedly be in the direction of Wutai. Where is Wutai further south?
That is Taiyuan.

The commander-in-chief of the entire battle today, Wang Shiyang, is located, and Taiyuan has also gathered the main forces of the entire Shanxi and Yulin towns. The number exceeds 10,000. It is the general camp of the Ming army, with strong troops and strong defenses. what idea?Could it be that they really dared to go face to face with the main force of the [-]+ Ming army?
Cavalry fighting infantry is not as easy as imagined. As long as infantry form a neat phalanx and have courage, then cavalry will be very troublesome. The reason why people think that cavalry is naturally restrained by infantry is mainly from the Song Dynasty, especially the Song Dynasty. At the end of the battle with the Jin people and the Mongols, they were often defeated.

Regardless of the Mongols, when dealing with the Jin people, the Song army had no will to fight at all, and was extremely lacking in training. The reason for the large number of the Song army was that refugees were recruited into the army whenever there were refugees, but without training, the quality of such an army was very poor. It is conceivable that the mob will collapse at the first touch, and of course the army will be defeated like a mountain.

Have the will to fight, have courage, have training, and form an army formation. No horse dares to run directly into the army formation. Horses are also animals, and they are also afraid of fire and sharp things. The infantry phalanx is like a big hedgehog, and the cavalry In fact, there is no good way to attack the infantry phalanx, but the infantry phalanx is also unable to counterattack and chase.

The frontier army of the Ming army is not as cowardly as the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army of the Song Army. The Beilu are somewhat afraid. With a number of 10,000+, how dare the Beilu dare to challenge it head-on?

Wang Shiyang is not a timid character either. Li Rusong described Wang Shiyang as a person who has courage and courage but is not very smart. Such a person is unlikely to run away. As long as Wang Shiyang is unwavering as the coach, 10,000+ people gather together, courage There are still.

How dare the 10,000 northern captives challenge the [-]+ Ming army head-on?

What is their purpose?
Xiao Ruxun didn't have time to think too much, because Taiyuan was really too important, and if Taiyuan suffered a disaster, the whole of Shanxi would be unstable, and it was related to the overall situation, so there was no room for too much thinking.

Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered Chai Guozhu to take [-] infantry and five Hongyi cannons to recover Pingxingguan, blocking the pass where the northern captives fled north. He also ordered Nurhachi to take [-] Liaodong cavalry to rescue Yanmen Pass to inspire the Yanmen Pass defenders.

Li Rusong left [-] Liaodong Han cavalry and [-] Jurchen fine cavalry, Nurhachi's sons Chu Ying and Dai Shan also stayed behind to follow Li Rusong, plus the remaining [-] infantry, the [-] troops were led by Xiao Ruxun himself, and went south to Taiyuan .
