Chapter 354: Respect for one's own troops

At the end of July of the second year of Chongzhen, Daying in Jizhou.

Jizhou city was filled with Ming troops, all the soldiers and horses transferred to Shanhaiguan defense line. Jizhou's wealth naturally gathered in Jizhou. The cabinet, the Ministry of War, did not give money, and let the troops raise their own food and grass, and the government set up the government along the way.

Military supplies made the local officials of all sizes and localities in northern Zhili. The local officials who closed the warehouses did not dare to move, so they could only be assigned to the prefectures. The prefectures could only ask the people for food. Now the front line of Shanhaiguan is close to 300,000 troops.

Yang He is still asking for more troops.

Ji Town is now crowded and crowded.

The reasoned soldiers were willing to wait for the government to give the food, but the unreasonable ones took action to rob it. This was the chaos in Jizhou in the second year of Chongzhen. The Donglin Cabinet and the six ministers were all Qingliu who had no experience in governing the country.

I don’t know how to fight, so I took time out the soldiers from all over the country to gather in Shanhaiguan, without considering the supply capacity of the prefectures along the way, nor how many troops the Shanhaiguan line can actually accommodate. When Macheng entered Jizhou, he even encountered a

The Henan army and a Shanxi army launched an internal strife, killing and injuring more than 100 people for the sake of the garrison.

Two soldiers fought in a place called Yang Village, with more than 100 casualties and more casualties. In the end, Shanxi soldiers took advantage and took care of Yang Village's houses carelessly, becoming a land king in the northwest of Ji Town.

Here, the crowded Shanhaiguan went to Jizhen, and the Ming army's military discipline was corrupted very quickly. First, they asked for food and then directly robbed it. The prefectures and prefectures in the pass were tortured in a very difficult situation. Because the Shanhaiguan defense line could not be squeezed by 300,000 people.

Many Ming army advocated choosing a piece of plump and rich land and stationed for a long time, which actually formed a chaos of warlords in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

The south gate of Jizhou is highly vigilant.

Ma Cheng really couldn't stand it anymore, so he ordered Kaiyuan soldiers to go on the street to maintain military discipline. The murderous Kaiao soldiers were fully armed and went on the street to arrest people. They arrested Ming soldiers who had broken disciplines from brothels, restaurants, and gambling factories.

All the people were cut to the south city gate, and more than 300 heads hung on the south city gate, finally calming the chaotic Jizhou. The biggest official in the bloody head was a guerrilla general from Henan, and the guerrilla generals were cut with one knife

Let’s go to war with the fully armed Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry? The Ming army in various places does not have the courage to even the governor of Henan. Even the general of the Henan Province dare not complain.

At the south gate, 20,000 new troops set out from the Miyun camp and moved to Jizhou.

The Miyun New Army is a force that Macheng firmly grasps. The generals and officials in the army are all from Kaiyuan. With a command, the entire army was launched, treating the official documents of the cabinet and the Ministry of War as garbage.

The new army entered the city, and Ma Cheng gave a more than 10,000 Ming troops squeezed into Jizhou City, swept out all the more than 10,000 Ming troops squeezed into Jizhou City, as if they were sweeping garbage. Those who dared to resist were killed on the spot. The Ming troops in each department dared to be angry.

Dare not to speak, and after being cut off some of his head, he retreated to the outside of the city to harm the village. The new army moved to Jizhou to control the whole city. The elders of Jizhou were grateful and organized a spontaneous fundraising, hoping that Liaodong Bo and Ma's army would be the first to station in Ji.

state.

North of the city, the camp, the slaughter.

Ma Cheng saw Li Kaiyuan wearing military uniform and in the deputy general uniform, laughed and patted Brother Li's thin shoulders hard. Li Kaiyuan sighed and bowed to thank him with tears in his eyes. His father and son could be in the case of a rebellion of the eunuch party.

After the preservation, it was the harvest of Macheng's big fuss in Jiangnan. Fengcheng Marquis Li Chengqi was ordered to think about his mistakes at home, while Li Kaiyuan was demoted to deputy general and went to Shanhaiguan Army to serve.

The idle position of deputy general is big or small. Obviously, Li Kaiyuan has been undermined. Now the new army commander is Zhang Shixian, the new general of Jizhen, and his direct superior is Zhang Fengyi, the new governor of Jiliao. This Governor Zhang is a talented man, and he is from the military preparation yamen. He is very good at composing music. He is a famous opera master in the late Ming Dynasty, including Guanyuan Records and Red Buddha Records. This man is also a highly prolific poet, who has written up to eight volumes of poetry and books. This Governor Zhang's most famous deeds, he gave to four major works. The famous work of Water Margin has been prefaced. However, this talented man and a famous literati are the generals of the governor Ji Liao.

Absurd and funny, it is no longer enough to describe the crazy power-taking of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty. Can a composer who has only served as a military preparation and preparatory work be the governor of Ji Liao? Yes, scholars are omnipotent. Water conservancy expert and Liaodong commander After Yuan Yingtai, the Attorney General, Yang He, the governor of Shanhaiguan, the Ming Dynasty released another composer. Can the composer, Governor Zhang, fight? Naturally, he will not. Feng Chenghou, who knows how to fight, created the new army in the Jingji community. Li Cheng-jin has already thought about it behind closed doors at home.

The new general of Ji Town, Zhang Shixian, is still on the way to take office. This person is a relative of Zhang Fengyi, the governor of Ji Liao, and is also a confidant.

Prepare wine to welcome Li Kaiyuan.

Li Kaiyuan was drunk, and Ma Cheng accompanied him to drink a few glasses of sorghum wine. He sighed at the sun outside. The lame Ming Dynasty is now walking with one foot. The Donglin Party snatched all the shift to seize power. Even the military power was robbed. Now the person who was in charge of Shanhaiguan was a big fool Yang He, and the person who was in charge of Jiliao was a romantic composer Zhang Fengyi. What kind of trouble would the more than 300,000 Ming troops under the command of these two Ming geniuses?

If the new army cannot be transferred to Shanhaiguan, it will be doomed.

The 20,000 new troops were built by Macheng, Li Cheng-qi and the other two, and the city guards were built with the purpose of fighting on the back of the city. They were not field troops. The heavy-match gun battalion was backed by a strong firepower and could fight. Once pulled into the wild, it will be finished. It has heavy equipment and is extremely maneuverable. It requires a lot of ammunition and does not have powerful field artillery to support the battle. It is a piece of fat that makes Huang Taiji salivate. It has extremely maneuverable ability. The poor heavy convex raiders can do what they can do in front of the huge field cavalry of Jianlu, and they can only wait for death on the spot.

The new army must stay in Jizhou. It is not easy to form an army. This is the seed of the Ming Dynasty's strong army.

Li Kaiyuan was unconscious of the situation, but Ma Cheng was particularly clear-headed. It was impossible to rebel. If the young prince who was less than one year old was still alive, Ma Cheng would raise his troops to Beijing without thinking and kill the Donglin Party. He killed him and asked Empress Zhang to rule from behind the curtain and became the regent himself. But when the little prince died, it became impossible to rebel, and it would never work in law.

The Ming Dynasty still paid great attention to ethics. Without the title of righteousness, rebellion would be a dead end.

However, Macheng also has a trump card. Jizhen has 15,000 soldiers and 20,000 new troops were also built by Macheng. If you hold 35,000 soldiers and horses, you can sleep with the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. It was a good time to sleep. Ma Cheng asked himself that he had no confidence to fight against the court, so it was very easy to find a few allies. For example, the new governor of Xuanda Yuan Chonghuan, who was a good player in the camp and a few powerful generals who could climb to Xuanda It is also his ability to be in the position of the governor.

In the great victory in Shanxi, this Lord Yuan was a top three hero. With such outstanding resumes and military merits as the foundation, this Governor Yuan was naturally very confident in speaking. This person is good at engaging in camps and has outstanding military achievements. I want to

It is difficult not to be noticed by the emperor. Yuan Chonghuan has no principles. He was willing to flatter Ma Cheng and Wang Guozhen, but now he has changed his party and has no problem with the Donglin Party.

This Governor Yuan is in Baoding, at the junction of Shanxi and Zhili. He is a powerful soldier. Whether Governor Yuan wants to be a warlord, Ma Cheng is not sure, but he knows the character of this person very well.

Zi Guao cannot tolerate others, so he naturally cannot stand up to the various actions of incompetent people like Yang He. This person still has military talent. He has 50,000 troops stationed in Baoding, which is an extremely critical strategic location. (To be continued)
