For Wang Huazhen, a civil servant with the same surname who was relatively enthusiastic and had no obvious contempt for military commanders, Wang Hongyu also tried his best to show respect and cooperate with him.
Because I have seriously considered whether to do anything under Wang Huazhen.
Whether it is training troops in the Liaohe River or going to the Dongjiang River to open up enemy lines, Wang Huazhen is likely to support it. Even if it is to go to the Jinzhou separatist regime in southern Liaoning and build a pincer attack along the sea, Wang Huazhen, who is eager to perform meritorious services, is likely to agree.
But this is just a solicitation.
The Donglin Party cares about power.
Wang Huazhen must have a firm grip on power.
Not to mention Wang Hongyu, even his superior, Xiong Tingbi, who had high prestige and was very good at fighting, could not even think of interfering with the military power in Wang Huazhen's hands. He was able to forcefully turn Xiong Tingbi into an imaginary manager with thousands of soldiers in his hands.
Because the Donglin Party came for the power of the imperial court and the military power of Liaodong.
If you have power in your hands, will you give it to others?
How could Wang Hongyu choose the plan of working under Wang Huazhen?
If it were half a year ago, I would really choose this way.
But now, your destiny is in your own hands.
Relying on the imperial court's taxation and appropriation, relying on the support of individual officials, relying on the deployment of troops and horses from nine sides thousands of miles away to aid the Liao...
It is difficult to win. Even if we win, we will leave behind a relatively strong old-style army. At most, it will give the Ming Dynasty some life, but it will only help China to seize the opportunities of the times.
It is even more impossible to intervene in the Thirty Years War in the West, and it is impossible for China to take the lead in building the world's economic, political, military and scientific pattern...
The Hunhe Army has been established. This team, which inherits the soul of Hunhe, must be used in more critical places!
During this month, the soldiers and horses of the Hunhe Army, under the leadership of Wang Hongyu, initially established a system in which officers and soldiers are equal, have equal daily discussions, and soldiers have the right to speak.
The atmosphere is usually lively and the power is close, but in key operations, as a soldier, you must strictly abide by orders and act in a planned manner according to the command.
Although it is still a little uncomfortable to execute, every member cherishes and protects this opportunity.
The power of the Hunhe Army lies in the hands of every member.
This does not mean that everything is in the hands of each member anytime, anywhere, but that most of the time in daily life is in the hands of each member. A small amount of time, such as when fighting or performing certain things, must follow the command as before.
Strictly enforce it.
These elite veterans have now understood that their current rights are hard-won and they need to use all their strength to safeguard them.
If they lose the Hunhe Army, they will end up as a private army under a general at best, or become "veteran consumables" in the hands of the court. The worst thing is that they will be "maliciously asking for pay" like the Qi Family Army.
Everyone is so supportive, but the principle is the same.
If you have power in your hands, will you give it to others?
Wang Hongyu calculated the time and estimated that it had been several days since the real battle situation reached the capital.
It's time to start the first action after Liaohe's adaptation.
"Hunhe Army, prepare to set off."
"yes!"
After a trip to Liaodong, things are different now~
The reason Wang Hongyu gave Guangning was that he wanted to carry Zhou Dunji's coffin home.
When Wang Huazhen heard this, her pupils shrank in fear.
It is a serious crime for soldiers and horses to act without orders, and to change the organization of soldiers and horses without permission is also a serious or minor crime.
It's best for him to try to stop it and try not to make things worse.
But suddenly I remembered that Uncle Wang Hongyu was a high-ranking eunuch. Did he have this purpose when he led troops into the pass this time?
Wang Huazhen said goodbye to the troops and asked politely: "Which direction are you going? As a civil servant, I can contact them in advance so that various places can prepare military rations."
He is not yet the governor, but he has actual control from Guangning to Ningyuan, so the provision of food and grass for the soldiers and horses is indeed subject to his orders. This reason is very reasonable.
Wang Hongyu also politely replied: "The last general and other soldiers who aided the Liao Dynasty were injured a lot, and the strength of the troops was quite insufficient. In this battle between Sichuan and Zhejiang, the native soldiers were frightened by the fighting. We went to Shanhaiguan to train with General Qin Liangyu, and we returned Can add some troops and horses.
Here in Guangning, there are You Shigong, You Shilu, Jiang Bi and other generals who won the bloody battle, as well as 5,000 wounded soldiers. They are all under the care of Mr. Wang. They are getting better day by day. Except for those who are seriously injured and are returning home, the rest will not be long. It will still be an important combat force in the end.”
The meaning of this is that Wang Huazhen can rest assured that they are only going to Shanhaiguan to train with Qin Liangyu and others to replenish the lost combat power. Besides, there are 5,000 chieftain soldiers in Sichuan, Zhejiang and Zhejiang who are still under Wang Huazhen, so there is no need to worry too much.
"Okay... we will pass through Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places on the way to replenish food and grass. Although I am only the right counselor, I will try my best to let General Wang replenish his combat strength, so that you and I can retake Liaochen and eliminate Nurhaci together."
The two of them were polite, but actually they were a little wary of each other.
Wang Huazhen knew that this Wang Hongyu had not received the order, and the matter of going to Shanhaiguan this time was big or small.
Judging from the current situation, it is of course a major issue that needs to be minimized.
Wang Hongyu must respect Ye Xianggao's disciple, Wang Huazhen, who is about to be promoted to governor. He cannot give him a reason just because he is not yet a governor, as that would easily make him too many enemies.
This time we headed south to Yunyang, first we planned to go to Shanhaiguan, and we would make a sudden move later.
As for the wounded soldiers and horses staying here, it is actually a matter of course.
Although after the bloody battle of the Hun River, the troops and horses of Sichuan, Zhejiang, Shizhu, Youyang, You Shilu, and Jiang Bi all obeyed his command, after arriving west of the Liao River, most of the troops still had to return to their normal structure.
The imperial court would not allow those generals, deputy generals, and staff generals to serve as Wang Hongyu's subordinates.
Even if they themselves do admire and appreciate Wang Hongyu, they are not really willing to be his subordinates at the moment.
There are also wounded soldiers. Of course, many of the wounded soldiers from Sichuan and Zhejiang will return to their hometowns, but there are also those who have recovered and will stay here to continue fighting.
Only the soldiers and horses adapted from Liaohe were soldiers who understood that they had to perform specialized tasks, and only these 3,000 soldiers and horses were brought back to the pass.
Wang Hongyu is not worried, because the goal that everyone understands after the adaptation is to revitalize military ethics and develop stronger troops. Even if someone leaves the team and escapes, the most is to let others know that Wang Hongyu's military training is special and that officers and soldiers are dispatched equally. , I can’t see what his big plan is.
Since Wang Huazhen acquiesced, the Hunhe Army bid farewell to their comrades for the time being and set off south.
Wang Hongyu left Lao Tan, Ertou and others behind, and the intelligence station in Guangning continued to operate. It could also do business as a cover operation, deal with some northern goods, and earn some money.
This time the Jiannu were beaten very badly by him. It is unlikely that he would launch the Guangning War a year later and easily defeat Wang Huazhen with the cooperation of the traitors, as happened in history.
At least Jiannu doesn't have this strength now.
This means buying time.
Wang Hongyu’s first stop was Shanhaiguan.
3,000 Hunhe troops, with a total of two targets and two posts, officially marched towards Shanhaiguan.
