The Donglin Party supported Yuan Yingtai as if emptying the treasury.
Including the Confederate Army, they had no worries about food and clothing, so they could continue to train.
The white pole soldiers of the Sichuan Army still strengthened the spear phalanx that can be attacked and defended, and specifically followed this formation to strengthen the tacit understanding with the gun, artillery and chariot soldiers.
The gunners of the Zhejiang soldiers specialize in practicing skirmish lines and three-row retreat shooting tactics. There is a lot of knowledge in this. Even the Zhejiang soldiers trained by Qi Jin and Zhang Mingshi need to practice intensively for several months before they can master it proficiently.
As for the line infantry, Zhou Dunji needs to come forward and gather all the artillerymen and gunners of the Sichuan troops, plus the Zhejiang troops, to first train a dense formation.
Of course Wang Hongyu is an expert. Military posture, walking in unison, turning and changing formations are all basic skills in military training.
It doesn’t matter how many battlefields you, a veteran of the Sichuan Army or the Zhejiang Army, have been on, or how good your guns are, if your troops are not walking in line, your posture is unstable, if you make a mistake in steering, many people will die.
The soldiers were a little dissatisfied at first, feeling that this had little to do with the battle, but as they practiced, they found that the formations were becoming more and more orderly, the speed of formation changes was much faster, the movements were neat, and even the volleys of guns and artillery fire were more accurate.
The soldiers even paid more attention to each other and became united.
This is the secret of queues, because this kind of training improves the fastest.
Bows and arrows take 5 years to develop, swords take 3 years, spears take 1 year, guns take 3 months... and queues only take half a month.
After forming a queue, we began to practice the square formation to prevent arrows.
Li Tiezhu and others worked overtime and hired craftsmen from Shenyang and Liaoyang to assist them in creating hundreds of sets of armor strengthening parts. They first strengthened the front helmet, shoulder armor, arm armor, and breastplate.
The phalanx used arrows without arrowheads to defend against arrows. Over time, the soldiers overcame their fear of arrows and specially used strengthened parts to catch arrows, covering each other's left and right, and gradually understood the subtleties of the linear formation.
Everyone is willing to train according to Wang Hongyu's method, not only because of the general's arrangement, but also because he is devoted to the front line, eating, living and training with the soldiers.
Wang Hongyu has become proficient in the common firearms of the Ming army, such as the bird gun, the three-eyed gun, the Fran machine, and the Tiger gun. He also personally leads the team to carry arrows every day.
This time, in addition to his own soldiers and horses, other ordinary soldiers of Sichuan soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers and Baigan soldiers were also spreading stories about his deeds, and everyone began to admire him day by day.
In addition to improvements in formation, shooting and arrow protection, Wang Hongyu also used the knowledge of later generations to do many other combat preparations.
Such as the preservation of gunpowder and reloading techniques.
The longer the black powder is left standing after it is made, the carbon, sulfur, and nitrate will gradually layer up and down. When adding the powder, it should not be too loose or too tight. It is recommended to use paper packages to top the powder.
Some people had gained experience in these aspects before, but there was a lack of standardization and institutionalization. Wang Hongyu first tried standardization among his own thousand troops, and then extended it to Sichuan troops and Zhejiang troops.
For more than a month, the Southern Army was training day and night by the Hun River, Yuan Yingtai was resettling Mongolian refugees, He Shixian and others were training Mongolian soldiers, Zhang Shenwu was recruiting Han refugees in Guangning, and Qin Ling was investigating intelligence from all parties.
of busy.
Zhou Dunji supported Wang Hongyu in his military training while observing the delicate situation.
Everything was as expected by the third brother. Yuan Yingtai placed the Mongolian refugees in the main cities in Liaodong, and the elites among them were mainly organized into Liao Town. As a result, the generals in Liao Town followed Yuan Yingtai's advice.
…
Hetunala and Nurhachi personally inspected each Niulu and urged the soldiers and horses to be well trained.
This time the Xianglan Banner failed in Tieling and Shenyang, and the Chinese New Year became a problem. With a wave of his hand, Nurhachi allocated part of the limited supplies looted from the grassland to the Xianglan Banner so that they could survive this winter.
There was a famine in the eastern part of the grassland, and the Houjin and Kormi tribes snatched away the last supplies. A large number of refugees had fled in all directions.
A group of those who fled to Houjin were collected as wrappers, thus making up for the thousands of wrappers lost by Xianglan Banner.
After such an operation, Amin, who had lost the battle, could no longer hold his head up, and Jierhalang led more people in the Xianglan Banner to fall to the Khan.
Nurhaci's prestige is increasing day by day, and the four major Belegs and the four major ministers are actively preparing to engulf Liaoyang and Shenyang next year.
On this day, he, Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji and others were patrolling the two red flags. They were quite unhappy when they saw that although Daishan's soldiers and horses were many, they were coquettish and greedy for comfort.
Among his sons, one didn't like Daishan very much. If he hadn't been good at fighting and strategic, it would have been impossible for him to control two of the Eight Banners.
If we want to establish Huang Taiji or Mang Gurtai, we must suppress Daishan a little. Therefore, during the period of patrolling the two red flags, Daishan was used to engage in trade.
Suddenly, I saw a tall but scholarly Han man named Bao Yi, who was in his twenties but had very deep eyes. He was being scolded by soldiers with red flags and was pouring swill.
When he saw a group of people patrolling, he not only did not hide away immediately as he was scolded, but stopped for a moment, looking into the distance with a rather indifferent expression.
After the soldiers kicked him and took him away, Jia La Ezhen, who accompanied Nurhaci and his party on the inspection, said: "This Han Bao Yi was captured at Fushun Pass. Some student in Shenyang... just let him do it because he was tall. Hard work and tiring work.”
"Yeah." Nurhaci didn't say anything, but quickly glanced at Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji.
The former was still glaring at the wrapper angrily, but the latter gave a meaningful look in return.
Nurhaci nodded, and Huang Taiji said loudly: "Bring that wrapper here."
"嗻!"
The soldiers with the red flag beat him and kicked him repeatedly, and brought the tall man over. He looked calm, and no matter how he was scolded and beaten, there was no sign of wavering in his brows.
"Bold slave, please kneel down quickly when you see the Great Khan."
With a plop, without any hesitation, he knelt down and knelt down to see Nurhachi.
"Huh! I was quite able to pretend just now, but now I'm so honest when I meet Father Khan. I just want to attract attention!"
Mang Gurtai was impatient and knew that Khan's father valued him, so he hurriedly expressed his thoughts.
"Not pleased, not to have compassion.
Our ancestors taught us this, and our descendants will naturally remember it."
"What?" Mang Gurtai didn't understand what was being said at all.
A glimmer of expectation flashed across Huang Taiji's eyes. He coughed and said, "Uh-huh! You were indifferent just now because you didn't rejoice in things or feel sad about yourself. So now that you're obedient and kneel down obediently, what's the explanation?"
"Be worried about the worries of the world first, and be happy after the happiness of the world. Now that I, Hou Jin, have a big worry, my servant is naturally very worried. Naturally, he immediately paid his respects and devoted himself to solving the problem for Dahan."
What a wagging tail dog... When Mang Gurtai saw this kind of expression, he wanted to go up and kick him.
"What's your name?" Nurhaci suddenly spoke. Now Mang Gurtai did not dare to act recklessly.
"Slave Fan Wencheng is the seventeenth generation grandson of Fan Zhongyan. He is from Shenyang. His grandfather is the Dusi of Shenyang."
oh?
Shenyang and his grandfather status... are very suitable for him to do the next task.
The three bosses laughed inwardly.
As for Fan Zhongyan... Nurhaci probably knew that he was a civil servant of the Song Dynasty, but Mang Gurtai had never heard of it at all. Only Huang Taiji knew it very well.
Huang Taiji helped Fan Wencheng, who was kneeling on the ground, up. Upon closer inspection, he was indeed a talented person.
Fan Wencheng was very tall, almost as tall as Huang Taiji, so he deliberately bent his knees slightly to prevent his slave from becoming the same as his master.
Seeing that he knew how to measure things, Huang Taiji admired in his heart. If this person could survive the mission, it would be worth using him more in the future.
"Sir just said that I am worried about my future finances. I wonder what you mean by this? Is there any way to solve it?" Huang Taiji's tone was quite respectful, with a smile on his face but his eyes were fixed on every detail of Fan Wencheng's face.
Fan Wencheng lowered his head, knowing that he must be carefully scrutinized. However, he accomplished nothing in the twenty-two years of the Ming Dynasty. He suffered a lot as a slave for two years, but all this was just for today!
Only by enduring hardship can one become a master. My life, Fan Wencheng, will be different!
"I thought that the Ming Dynasty was constantly sending strong troops to the Liao Dynasty. Among them, the three northwest sides, the southeastern Fujian and Zhejiang, and the southwest barbarians all had some strength. Although everyone in our Houjin Dynasty was a hero, they ultimately did not have enough manpower. Therefore, we must Promote the opposition between the Liao people and the guest soldiers, and show kindness to the Liao people."
Nurhachi said nothing, but based on these contents, Fan Wencheng was ready to carry out this mission.
Fan Wencheng continued to lower his head and talked confidently:
"The master should make great use of civil servants and businessmen, because they are powerful, and beat those in the northwest and southwest because they are poor and have no background. In the future, he should also unite the powerful and powerful businessmen in the world, so that they can expect the master to create the best era for them. , such a great trend in the world can be expected!"
Good guy...this statement is exactly the same as my own. It is difficult for Huang Taiji to find such a common point of view in the entire Houjin Dynasty.
This person is a bit overqualified when he goes on a spy mission. It would be best if he can survive and come back with meritorious service. In the future, he will need some capable people from various ethnic groups under his command.
Nurhaci was quite shocked in his heart. This man was a slave and a master, and he was extremely humble. On the surface, he was similar to Li Yongfang, but in reality he was completely opposite.
Huang Taiji and Nurhachi thought of getting together.
Li Yongfang is incompetent and relies on flattery to please her.
Fan Wencheng was very despicable and used flattery to do things for Hou Jin.
I want a capable traitor who is capable but also afraid of flattery. He is a good slave~
In the future, the Han people under your command should be obedient and effective according to this set of rules, instead of controlling soldiers and horses to have their own small power.
Combined with the art of controlling people, you can use it on the traitor generals first, and then severely suppress and kill them when they become domineering; on the traitor literati, you should suppress them first, and then give them the pleasure of long-awaited rain, and let them serve me as slaves. clan.
Both father and son were inspired a lot by this, and they immediately took Fan Wencheng away from the red flag.
Huang Taiji personally gave him a new set of clothes, and said in advance: "Father Khan called you here because he wants you to go to Shenyang to do a big thing. Your identity and background are very suitable, but there will be a little danger."
"A slave has a way to win over the Liao people for his master. When encountering danger, he should rely on his own ability to deal with it." Fan Wencheng certainly knew that he could not be appointed for nothing.
"Do you still have any relatives or friends here?"
"I have an older brother."
"Okay, I'll send someone to bring him over. How are the other Han people around you doing? Are they suitable for carrying out the mission together?" When Huang Taiji asked this question, a chill flashed in his eyes.
Fan Wencheng didn't see this look, but he felt awe in his heart, knowing that he was testing himself.
"Back to my master, the Han coaters in Niulu, where I live, appear to be more obedient than the slaves, but in fact they are more likely to run away and resist. Not only can these coats not be used, they should be removed as soon as possible."
Huang Taiji said to the Great Khan's personal guards in the distance: "Send the order to bring this man's brother over, kill all the other Han people in Niulu, and give them some Mongolian refugees and savage Jurchens to make coatings for them."
"嗻!"
Fan Wencheng was indifferent to this, because this was the result he wanted.
