Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 905 The Last Eastern Jin Dynasty
Chapter 911 The Last Eastern Jin Dynasty
Ran Ming may have some face for other generals, but this Wang Sheng, as a student of the Jiaodong Lecture Hall, although not one of the hundred disciples who entered the door, has the status of a master and apprentice, and the master will not have anything to the apprentice good face.Ran Ming immediately roared: "Wang Sheng."

Wang Sheng immediately went out and clasped his fists and said: "The end is here! "

Ran Ming said: "I remember you are in the first session of the Jiaodong Lecture Hall!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the final general is the first phase of the Jiaodong Lecture Hall."

"Jiaodong Martial Arts Lecture Hall [-], now I'm a captain of the first battalion, a bit inferior!" Ran Ming said: "Even if you are most passionate about politics, then take off your military uniform and become a civil servant!"

Hearing this, Wang Sheng said with a sad face, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!"

"I know I'm wrong, no way, how could you be wrong. I can just hear you yelling the happiest!" Ran Ming said: "Since you like to worry about civil servants, then go to Jingkou to be a dantuling .”

"Dantu order." All the soldiers took a deep breath when they heard this. According to the military rank of a school lieutenant, this is equivalent to a division-level cadre in later generations, and the corresponding administrative level should also be a department level.If it is a level tune, Wang Sheng is at least a lower county prefect, and if he is promoted, he should be an upper county prefect or Bie Jia.But it is just a county magistrate, even Dantu is also a county magistrate.It was dropped by two levels at once, which is a typical example of killing chickens to scare monkeys.

Ran Ming turned to the generals and said: "It's the same with you, whoever doesn't want to do it, I will transfer you to the local area immediately, and Wei will not treat any meritorious soldier badly."

All the generals looked at each other face to face, who wants to be a civil servant? At this time, especially during the war, it is still easy for military generals to make meritorious service. If one battle is successful, it is not difficult to be promoted to one or two ranks.But for civil servants, there is an evaluation every year, and even if they pass the overall evaluation for five years, they will not be promoted by half a grade.If you're lucky, it will take more than ten years to go up.

Everyone didn't dare to answer Ran Ming's words, and Ran Ming said again: "If you are not in your position, you are not looking for a job. Some people just sit on their buttocks. The imperial court's policies are for the court's princes to worry about. Your duty is to fight. In terms of military affairs, we should try our best to defeat the enemy instead of engaging in messy things."

They were also terrified when they saw that Ran Ming was really serious, especially as a student of Ran Ming's first class of martial arts lectures, there was no room for maneuver.

"Everyone, this battle is related to our luck in the Great Wei, and it is also related to your future. You must show the prestige of the Wei army's iron and steel army and let the world see your abilities!" Ran Ming glanced across the faces of the generals. They all showed excited expressions, and straightened their chests to meet his gaze. Ran Ming nodded, and suddenly raised his voice: "I hope that you will move forward bravely, achieve wealth and honor together, and build immortal achievements together."

This is tantamount to the mobilization of war. Under Ran Ming's order, the Southern Conscript Army no longer retains its strength and begins to prepare for a night attack.

All the night attack generals of the Wei army are the main elites in each battalion, veterans who have survived a hundred battles, all members of the soldier committee take the lead, and deputy lieutenants at all levels act as team leaders.

More than [-] battalions selected [-] night raid troops.The first consideration of these night raiders is not how brave they are, but at least not to have night blindness.In ancient times, general armies would not carry out night battles. Apart from poor discipline and training, the most fundamental reason was that the soldiers were all from poor peasants, malnourished, and night blind.

"Take off all the armor." Ran Ming has a lot of experience. In this kind of weather, wearing heavy armor will not only increase the burden on the soldiers at night, but also lead to lightning strikes.You must know that in thunderstorm weather, if you run outside with iron bumps, the chance of being struck by lightning is very high, and Ran Ming does not want to take risks.

The biggest aspect of armor defense is the crossbow. In this kind of weather, whether it is a crossbow or a bow, they can't shoot far at all. On the contrary, it is better not to wear armor, and to move quickly and have a higher chance of survival.

There is no wind, only pouring rain. Even Xiao Lezi, who is a southerner, does not see this kind of rainstorm very often. Now, there is already three inches of water on the flat ground. If the rainstorm continues, there may be flooding danger.

But at this time Xiao Lezi's mood was not as gloomy as the sky, but a little excited.Pointing to the rain curtain in the sky, Xiao Lezi said: "Your Majesty, I was a little worried earlier, worried that the Wei army would not immediately return to aid after learning of the shocking changes in Yecheng, but would turn around and storm Wuxi, driving all of our Jin army into Taihu Lake. If this is the case, our previous arrangements will be eclipsed. However, at this moment, the weather is beautiful and the sky is raining."

"God's rain, God's rain!" Sima Dan said extremely depressed: "My palace has been flooded. The queen and the prince traveled on my jade boat, but they got stuck in the quagmire again, and something happened. What evil did you do, even Jie and Zhou have never been punished like this by the heavens, yet my palace was flooded, what an anecdote through the ages!"

Xiao Lezi was speechless.Wuxi is one of the cities with the largest population that resettled the Han people who migrated from the north. With the migration of a large number of Han people to the south, Wuxi harnessed lakes and built polders, built a large number of water conservancy facilities, and improved agricultural farming technology.Commercial trade began to take shape, which made the whole Wuxi very expensive. The whole Wuxi city couldn't afford a decent building to serve as Sima Dan's palace.In the end, the monks from Lingguang Temple (not Lingyin Temple), the largest temple in Wuxi, moved away and arranged for Sima Dan to move in.However, Lingguang Temple's terrain is extremely low, and a large number of blue bricks were used to pave the ground in the temple. As a result, the rainwater could not seep into the ground, and there was no way to drain it, so Sima Dan was flooded.

Of course, Sima Dan's entanglement was not about being flooded, but about the divine right of the king.The establishment of the Eastern Jin court did not actually pass on the national jade seal, but belonged to the Baiban court.Because the jade seal was snatched by Liu Cong when he was in Luoyang, Shi Le destroyed the former Zhao, and the later Zhao possessed the Chuanguo Yuxi, which ended up in Ran Min's hands.In history, Ran Zhi took out the jade seal in order to ask for support from the Eastern Jin court. Xie Shang lied to Yuxi, and Xie Shang sent Zhenwu General Hu Bin and three hundred Jingqi to Jiankang overnight.Therefore, Xie Shang was entrusted to Shizhong, former general, Shangshu Pushe (Prime Minister).But in this time and space, Sima Dan has not passed on the jade seal of the country, so he is the so-called white board emperor in the history books.

The emperor is sent by heaven to rule the country, so the emperor should be blessed by the gods. He should never be flooded, and he will not be attacked by earthquakes, landslides and other natural disasters.Just like Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty, although he successfully entered Beijing, most people still don't believe that Li Zicheng is the real son, because Li Zicheng was shot blind in one eye when he attacked Kaifeng.And the founders of the past dynasties, no matter what kind of difficulties they encounter, they will turn bad luck into good fortune, and disaster will turn into good luck.For example, the later Taizu escaped several times without hurting a single hair.The fundamental reason why the Jin court had the confidence to resist the Wei State was that Ran Min also lost his arm in Luoyang, which was why people thought he was not the real son of heaven.

Xiao Lezi said: "Your Majesty, the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on it. In fact, the rain came too timely. Wei's victory lies in the strength of the army, the strength of the crossbow, and the help of gunpowder. But after this heavy rain, Wei The country’s gunpowder must no longer be usable, and of course Wei’s powerful crossbows will also be soaked in the rain. Without gunpowder and crossbows, the Wei army is like a tiger without its minions, so why worry about it?”

Huishan Camp was the last strength of the Jin State at this time. Sima Dan stationed more than 1 Huben troops and a total of more than 6 Wusheng troops recruited by He Qian in the Huishan Camp.In fact, the Huishan Camp was to empty the residents of Huishan Ancient Town into a huge military camp.Of course, the Jin army stationed in Huishan has [-] to [-] horses, which is too crowded for a small town that is only less than four miles long from north to south and less than two miles wide from east to west.Huishan, which is less than [-] meters above sea level, also has a large number of soldiers and horses stationed there.

At this time, the sentinels of the Jin army guarding the Huishan camp were hiding in the grass shed in small groups to hide from the rain.But in such a heavy rain, the thatched shed obviously couldn't stop the heavy rain, and the clothes of these sentinels were already soaked.Unable to keep out the cold, the soldiers of the Jin army grilled their wet clothes around the fire in the grass shed.

"It's raining so hard!"

"Yeah, I've lived for more than 30 years, and I haven't seen such a heavy rain." One said: "It's a pity, this rain will destroy many crops. The fields are not harvested, and the soldiers are in panic. Chaos, God knows how many people will die this year. When will such a day end!"

"The weather is so abnormal, there must be evildoers."

"Will something happen?"

"What can happen, don't talk nonsense, if the general hears about it, you will have to buckle the hat of bewitching people, beat the board, it will be light, and the head will be chopped off!"

"By the way, it's time to go on inspection!"

"What the fuck!" A veteran lazily said, "No ghost is too lazy to go out in this kind of horrible weather."

A soldier took out a gourd of wine, and said: "Without wine, it's impossible to live this day. Come and have a sip first, brother, I have saved up two months of money to buy a gourd. Immortal drunk. In this weather, Take a sip and feel comfortable all over."

Just as Shi Chang took a sip of the wine gourd, he passed it to other soldiers.Just when Yishi soldiers sipped their drinks, they didn't know that the god of death had come.

Shi Chang took a sip of wine, the smell of alcohol rose, and his face turned rosy. He looked at the night sky and said, "I don't know how long this rain will last. Even in the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, I have never seen such a heavy rain." It looks like the rain won't stop for two or three days. But that's fine, in this weather, there is no way to fight."

What said here, ten or ten soldiers were silent.This sudden war caused too many of them to lose their lives.Ten sentinels of the Jin Army surrounded the fire, full of worries.They didn't know when they would die, and the difference in strength made them a little helpless.The standard of living in Jin State is still quite poor, and ordinary people can barely make ends meet.

However, Wei entered the first year of Kaiyuan, and ordinary people have already escaped the poverty line.As the business tax accounts for more than half of Wei's fiscal revenue, plus the income from ocean trade, Wei's land tax only accounts for [-]% of its fiscal revenue. Since then, the life of Wei's people has been much better up.Although it is not every day white flour steamed buns, big fish and big meat.It’s not a year without meat, especially the rapid development of Wei’s breeding industry, which allows the people of Wei to buy cheap meat, milk, goat’s milk, and horse’s milk. With the consumption of high-protein foods, this makes the people of Wei’s physique There has been a great improvement.Although the main ethnic groups of Wei State and Jin State are both Han nationality, there is a huge disparity in physique between the two due to different nutrition.

Soldiers of the State of Wei could wear armor weighing more than 40 kilograms, hold weapons and dry food, and carry a load of more than [-] to [-] kilograms. They could rush for hundreds of miles on foot, and they could go directly into battle without resting.This kind of physique makes Ran Ming feel very incredible.On the other hand, the Jin army couldn't even do half of the Wei army.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. In the rain, more than 3000 night attack troops of the Wei Army walked with difficulty.They don't see things in the dark night, and they don't know the direction. If it weren't for the looming lightning, they might not be able to move an inch.Marching in this kind of rainy weather will consume a lot of physical strength of the soldiers. The rain will take away a lot of heat from the soldiers and make the soldiers very tired.The camp of the Jin army was nearly thirty miles away from the camp of the Wei army. Some soldiers walked faster and threw away their bamboo hats in order to reduce the burden. In fact, the bamboo hats are basically useless in this kind of heavy rain.

Before and after each army, there are people who look like officers.No one was on horseback, but the officers went forward and back to encourage them to go forward.In fact, the officers can walk farther than the soldiers, and the figures of the officers are also wobbly, but they are no worse than the soldiers carrying the weight.Many officers also took over the soldiers' weapons.There were some mules and horses on both sides of the team. These animals were already shaking their hooves and couldn't hold on anymore.Every time a mule and horse fell down, the soldiers passing by would push the animal and its load down the canyon without hesitation.

How can these people withstand a march that can't even be supported by livestock?Is this still the army of the Han Chinese?

A faint voice of agitation floated from the opposite side: "Brothers, in this rainy day, the Jin army never expected that we would attack overnight. Now the emperor of Jin, Sima Dan, is in Wuxi City. As long as we successfully break through the Hui and Xi Shanjin army camp can rush into Wuxi and capture Sima Dan alive. As long as Sima Dan is captured, the state of Jin will surrender without a fight. Our decades of war and chaos are over, and the world is united and sharing peace. Jin The people of the country are also our compatriots, and if we don’t want our compatriots to be persecuted again, we must work hard to move forward! What we do today can leave eternal peace to future generations.”

Since the decisive battle was about to start, Ran Min cut off the general temporarily. (Just calling out the troops) Breaking the rule of changing generals in the past, Ran Ming did just that.The mutiny in the army imagined by the generals did not occur. On the contrary, the morale of the army increased.This incident shocked the other generals very much. Even Ran Ming's direct descendants and students were punished for talking too much. If it was them, would there be an exception?They didn't even dare to think about the situation of being forced to go up. The members of the soldier committee in the army were staring at them. Whenever there was any change, the military discipline picket team would come to the door.

Liu Peng and Liu Yunfei were very excited. He was just a Sima on the march. There were more than 100 or nearly 200 people of his level in the Southern Army alone. If it was a school lieutenant, there were only more than 20 people. This is the gap.But luck happened to befall him.Wang Sheng was transferred away by Ran Ming, and he was fortunate enough to become a captain.Don't look at the difference between Sima in the army and the school lieutenant, but this is equivalent to the difference between the school officer and the junior in later generations. I don't know how many people have been blocked by the difference of one level, and I don't know how many people have been dismissed. Stuck on this level.

At this time, Liu Peng and Liu Yunfei were only Colonel Quan, that is, a temporary captain. If he passed the assessment, he would be a full-time captain and be regarded as a division and brigade officer in later generations.

Finally came to the front of the Jin army's Huishan camp, a mere [-] miles away, which exhausted the Wei army's night attack army. Because they couldn't see the road situation clearly, many people fell with black noses and swollen faces, and more than half of the soldiers fell from the mud. Fuck off.

With the simplicity and hard work of the children of Chinese peasants, and the long-term training that has formed a reflexive obedience to disciplinary orders, coupled with the encouragement and leadership of the officers, the soldiers finally walked thirty miles in the rainstorm. On sunny days, the road conditions are good, and the [-]-mile journey is only half an hour for them.But in the heavy rain, they walked for more than two hours.

If there is an officer who gives orders to them on horseback, they will not be able to persist.If there is an officer who advances empty-handed instead of sharing the weapons and gunpowder on his back, they will not be able to persist.If there is an officer who does not eat the same food as them and wade in the muddy water, they will not be able to persist.

Liu Peng, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stood up, and the soldiers around him thought that Liu Peng could not walk anymore, so they hurriedly supported him.But Liu Peng shook off his hand and ran towards the small mound by the side of the road, not knowing how he still had all the energy left.

"Jin Army Huishan Camp, outposts!" Liu Peng said: "Reconnaissance team, clear the obstacles!"

Ran Ming appeared as a soldier of later generations, and he is very familiar with and likes scouts.Therefore, at the beginning of his formation of the army, he attached great importance to the scouts. Among the various arms, the scouts were given the best treatment, the hardest training, and of course the fastest meritorious deeds.Although the torrential rain covered up too much noise, so that Liu Peng's voice could not be heard within 20 meters, there was still a voice of order to pass Liu Peng's order to the reconnaissance team.

Mo Yue, hundreds of scouts in black, held daggers and crawled forward, slowly touching the checkpoints of the Jin army.

In the hut of the Jin army checkpoint, a veteran suddenly said: "It seems that there is something wrong, there seems to be someone outside."

Shi Chang said: "What nonsense, who will come here at this time?"

In fact, the veteran was right. Under the light of a flash of lightning, he saw a faint figure in the rain outside.But when the second bolt of lightning illuminated the original place, he found that there was no one there at all.Of course scouts don't stay in the same place for long.The veteran thought he was dazzled, and he didn't dare to make a sound when he was reprimanded by the chief.

"What the hell, there seems to be someone outside!" At this moment, another soldier pointed at the rain curtain in the night sky tremblingly and said, "What the hell, there are really people outside, I saw it!"

Shi Chang is also a veteran of many battles, and has an unknown sense of danger.He felt his back was cold and his scalp was numb, which was a bad and dangerous sign, and he said in a long way: "Han Liuzi, you, you, you and you, five of you, come out with me to see Look!"
