After being brought to Yask, Zhou Peigong realized that he had underestimated Zhao Qiang. He did not expect that Wu Ni had tens of thousands of people. [ ] But the surprise stopped there. Most of the time, Zhou Peigong only thought about what to do.
Report the situation of Wu Ni back to the imperial court so that the imperial court can dispatch troops to conquer them as soon as possible.
This land in the far north outside the pass is considered to be as high as the sky and as far away as the emperor. In addition, the officials and soldiers feared the Rakshasa like tigers and wolves, and handed over large areas of land to the Rakshasa people. As a result, they knew the situation in the far north. Now these Wu Ni
It was just such a loophole that was exploited. Although the poor mountains and rivers are not the basis of the king's hegemony, as time goes by, there is no guarantee that these Wu Ni will not cause any trouble. Especially now that the Rakshasa people are constantly encroaching on our Qing land, what if
Wu Ni disregarded the country's foundation and colluded with the Rakshasa red-haired ghosts in order to survive. The disaster was no less than that of Wang Zhi, the great robber of the Ming Dynasty. It was precisely because Wang Zhi knew the southeastern coast that the Japanese pirates were able to invade
The environment of human beings poisons the people. This is a matter of inducing foreigners to harm the country. There have always been countless traitors and traitors. The court must be prepared in advance. Otherwise, once the disaster goes south, the people of Li will be in dire straits. Alas, it’s just now.
I am imprisoned here and there is no way I can escape. How can I report this situation to the emperor?
Zhou Peigong looked at Zhao Qiang who was chatting and laughing with a cadre general with a worried look on his face. His eyes were full of hatred and contempt. He had already explained his determination to Zhao Qiang and expressed his unwillingness to surrender, but the other party did not seem to be willing to surrender.
Angry, he is not in a hurry to kill himself. He just feeds himself with delicious food and drink. This time he even brings himself out. I don’t know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd. But even if you are as humble as Zhou Gong to treat the corporal, don’t even think about me, Zhou Peigong.
I will sacrifice my life for you! The relationship between me and the emperor is beyond what you, a warrior, can imagine. Do you think that the emperor does not need me, but only cares about me? You are all wrong. I, Zhou Peigong, have a place in the emperor's heart!
Zhao Qiang knew to some extent what Zhou Peigong thought. He was also worried about how to deal with this person and killed him. What a pity. If he didn't kill him and refused to submit to him, could he really raise him for nothing?
Furthermore, let Zhou Peigong know the strength of Guan Ningjun, maybe he will change. Zhao Qiang glanced back inadvertently, and saw Zhou Peigong staring at him coldly, and couldn't help but sneered: You'd better be
Be sensible, otherwise I will be like Wu Sangui to Zhu Guozhi, using your head to sacrifice the flag!
"The general is waiting to welcome the commander-in-chief!"
Under the city of Tugursk, Zuo Mingnan, commander of the rearguard division, led Qian Lin, captain of the first regiment, Li Guangcai, captain of the second regiment, and hundreds of households from eight brigades to meet Zhao Qiang.
"No need to be polite!"
Zhao Qiang smiled on his horse and asked Zuo Mingnan and the others to follow them into the city. While walking, he talked with Zuo Mingnan and the others about what they saw and thought along the way. The officers who came with him also chatted with the people of the rearguard division and expressed their farewell feelings.
.
After entering the city, after asking about the construction of Zuo Mingnan's division at the rearguard division headquarters, Zhao Qiang asked Zuo Mingnan to transfer a team over and he would personally perform martial arts with them. The most important thing of this trip was to build the first rearguard division.
How is the combat effectiveness, and this combat effectiveness can be revealed from daily training. Whether it is a mule or a horse, you can tell it by checking it at the school ground, and you can't fake it.
"Commander, wait a moment, the general will go and deliver the order right away!"
Zuo Mingnan had long been looking forward to the commander-in-chief reviewing his troops. He immediately ordered Qian Lin to draw a team from Zhao De's brigade to gather at the school grounds for the commander-in-chief to review them personally.
After drinking half a bowl of tea, the school grounds were ready, and Zhao Qiang led a group of followers to the school grounds under the leadership of Zuo Mingnan.
There is a school platform next to the school field, which is used by officers to train sergeants to give orders. At this time, several chairs have been set up. Zhao Qiang sat down, and senior generals such as Qi Zhuang and He Manchuan also sat down one after another. They looked at the people standing at attention with interest.
The sergeant in the middle of the school field.
The one who was ordered to perform martial arts was a team under Zhao De from Baihu, with a total of 200 soldiers. They were now lined up in four rows on the school grounds, with fifty people in each row. Despite the biting cold wind, everyone just stood tall with their guns drawn, motionless.
"Commander, can you start?"
After getting Zhao Qiang's approval, Zuo Mingnan issued the drill order to Zhao De. After seeing the school flag waving, the general flag in the center of the field immediately shouted: "Ready!"
With a sound of "Wow!", the two hundred soldiers raised their guns together, turned sideways and raised their hands, making an attacking posture. Whether from the front or the side, these two hundred soldiers were in a straight line.
The posture made Zhao Qiang couldn't help but nod his head. All the officers on the campus also showed admiration.
Zuo Mingnan and all the officers of the rearguard division were looking sideways at the commander. Seeing Zhao Qiang nodding with a satisfied look, they were all refreshed because they had been waiting for this moment for a long time!
Since the defeat in Dujigensk, the two partners Zuo Mingnan and Qian Lin have been looking for opportunities to prove themselves and regain the glory and dignity they lost due to the defeat. Therefore, after forming the rearguard division, the two
Therefore, improving the division's combat effectiveness will be a top priority.
In the eyes of Guan Ningjun, even if he didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that the rearguard division was no longer a main force, and Zuo Mingnan and Qian Lin were unwilling to let their division become an important force.
, and to change all this, one must be qualified to participate in the war southward against the Qing Dynasty. Only in this way can the shame be washed away from the battle with the Qing army, and the rearguard division can become famous.
After learning that Zhao Qiang and a group of officers were coming to inspect the rearguard division, Zuo Qian and his wife were excited at that time. They knew that whether they could make the rearguard division the main force again would depend on whether they could get into the eyes of the commander-in-chief. However,
They did not panic or use any crooked ideas because they had great confidence in their subordinates. This confidence came from their usual training of soldiers.
The commander-in-chief will definitely be impressed by my rearguard division! Zuo Mingnan looked at Qian Lin, Li Guangcai and others with confidence and nodded in unison.
After a small triangular flag was waved, the general flag commanding the pike team shouted "kill"! Immediately, the fifty soldiers in the front row rushed forward together. Under the waving of the flag, they lined up and charged with their guns.
Arriving at the scarecrow eighty paces away.
"Take it!"
Without any hesitation or pause, the fifty soldiers stabbed out their spears in unison, and the scarecrow suddenly heard the sound of "Puff, Puff!". Everyone moved to where their target was either the scarecrow's eye, or where the scarecrow's eyes were.
The position of the throat or the heart is not a vital part.
"kill!"
After shouting loudly, the spear was swung out, and all fifty scarecrows were lifted up in the air by the spear!
"good!"
Wu'er Leng didn't know how to fight, but when he saw the performance of these soldiers, he couldn't help but shout "Hello".
Momentum! What I want is this momentum! Zhao Qiang couldn't help but take a step forward, staring at the fifty soldiers who were breathless and heartless with bright eyes, and secretly praised: What a murderous aura! What a group of people.
Man!
After the fifty soldiers completed the drill, the one hundred and fifty soldiers came forward to perform the drill one after another, shouting to the sky, full of anger and murderous intent, they were all elite soldiers.
"Hey, good guy!"
He Manchuan scratched his head. He had always been dissatisfied with others, and he also admired Zuo Mingnan. He secretly thought that Zuo Mingnan could train the rearguard division into such a powerful force in just a few months. If it were only these two hundred people, it would be
Forget it, if the entire rearguard division is like this, then our Guards Division, the Guanning First Division, will be hard to say.
Qi Zhuang is also a man who knows soldiers. Although the two hundred soldiers in front of him are not uniformed and look a bit messy, their energy and killing speed are truly elite soldiers.
The generals were talking about it, and Wu Si smiled and said to Zhao Qiang: "These sergeants shoot their guns so fast and strike so hard. If the Tatars really hit each other, they might not be able to block a blow!" Then he raised a big flag to Zuo Mingnan on one side.
Thumb: "Brother Zuo, I, Wu Si, am really convinced by you. I didn't expect you to secretly train such a strong army for our Guan Ning Army!"
"Haha." Zuo Mingnan just smiled modestly. Behind him, Qian Lin, Li Guangcai and others were already beaming with joy, not hiding their excitement at all.
Zhao Qiang smiled and asked Zuo Mingnan: "Tell me, how did you train your subordinates to be so majestic in such a short period of time?"
Zuo Mingnan hurriedly raised his hands and said: "The rearguard division of the general is only equipped with spears and bows, so they can only practice these two things. For example, the spear, the general only teaches them to practice stabbing every day, a thousand times a day.
After a long time, the momentum has been established, and the power will naturally be obtained. Other than that, the final generals do not train them in anything."
"Well, they are all equipped with long spears. What they need is uniformity and attack speed. It is superfluous to practice other things."
Zhao Qiang nodded and agreed with Zuo Mingnan's way of training soldiers. Being dedicated and ruthless is the way to go. He also said with emotion: "When these sergeants stab the enemy with their spears, either the enemy or we will die. They told me just now during the drill."
Commander, they practice this spear to kill the enemy, not to show off... Mingnan, thank you for your hard work."
The words "Mingnan, you have worked hard" made Zuo Mingnan feel a sore nose. This was the first time he heard him say that someone had worked hard since he met the commander. The meaning was self-evident.
"Since the battle of Dujigensk, the general has been regarded as a life-long humiliation. Fortunately, the commander has not given up and has entrusted the rearguard division to the important task. After taking office, the general has been thinking about how to strengthen our rearguard division every night.
Team, I thought the commander was helping me! I have achieved a small amount of success today, but for the commander’s encouragement, I will be very grateful!"
"Sense of shame and then courage!"
Zhao Qiang stood up and came to Zuo Mingnan, helped him up, held his arms and said: "We are all people who have narrowly escaped death. What we are trying to do now is just to promote the power of the Han people and prevent our compatriots from being destroyed by the Tatars."
It's just a matter of subjugation. Now that our Guan Ning Army has begun to grow in size, we need everyone to work together. Only in this way can our Guan Ning Army continue to grow stronger, and finally march into the pass and restore China! Ming Nan, can you develop this strength for me?
Jun, I really want to thank you so much!" After saying that, he bent down and bowed to Zuo Mingnan. Zuo Mingnan was so panicked that he couldn't stop him or not. His face was red and he was at a loss.
.
"You deserve my bow, don't be so scared." After Zhao Qiang bowed, he pulled Zuo Mingnan over with a smile and said to the generals: "Now, who among you still doubts that the rearguard division will not be allowed to fight on the battlefield?"
"I had this idea before, but now I don't. Brother Zuo, to be honest, I, Old He, really didn't think much of your rearguard division before, but now I do admire you a little." He Manchuan told the truth, a little bit.
Don't hide it either.
Qi Zhuang also smiled and said: "If I guess correctly, the commander-in-chief is going to order your rearguard division to form a formation now."
"Are you going to fight the Tatars?" Zuo Mingnan asked Zhao Qiang excitedly after hearing this.
Zhao Qiang smiled at him and nodded slightly. His nod made all the officers of the rearguard division extremely happy. Going south, we are finally going south!
"Call the commander-in-chief, I want to ask him a few questions." Seeing that the captain's spearman was still standing with his gun in the school field, not affected by this at all, Zhao Qiang's heart moved, and he thought about the commander-in-chief who was leading the troops.
.Qian Lin hurriedly asked Zhao De to call someone.
When the commander-in-chief heard that the commander wanted to see him, he hurriedly took off his clothes and saw that nothing was wrong. Then he respectfully followed the adults of the hundred households to the school platform. As soon as he reached the school platform, he knelt down and said:
"Pan Mei, the last general, has met the commander-in-chief!"
"No gift!"
Zhao Qiang couldn't help laughing when he heard the other party's name: "Pan Mei is a good name. Back then, there was a general named Pan Mei under Song Taizu's account. He actually made a lot of military exploits for Song Taizu's southern and northern campaigns. I don't think I also have one of his subordinates."
Pan Mei, if she could be like Pan Mei, I would be really happy."
Hearing what the commander said, Pan Mei hurriedly said: "The last general will not dare to compare with the sages, he will just do the best for the commander!"
"This commander saw your troops performing martial arts. It's really good. They are regarded as elite troops. Tell me, how did you manage to coordinate these two hundred sergeants and advance and retreat in an orderly manner?"
"Returning to the commander-in-chief, soldiers only need to give strict orders, and to make these soldiers obey orders, rewards and punishments need to be clear. When the general trains them on the first day, he will issue orders in public. If there is any disobedience,
, Thirty rod punishments and three days of confinement. If one person disobeys the order, the whole team will be punished. If the small team disobeys the order, the whole team will be punished. If the team disobeys the order, the whole team will also be punished. With this order, these soldiers will fight against each other, which means they have made mistakes.
The horses will also be reminded to make corrections by people in the same team. If they fail to correct, the general will punish them. After two days of training, they will be what the commander is now. The general has always believed that the art of military training is not as good as the officer.
Instead of keeping a close eye on each other, it is better to let them watch each other, and the effect is quite good. Finally, we have lived up to the expectations of the adults of Wanhu and the adults of Qianhu." Pan Mei said very sincerely, with no trace of pride on her face, which made Zhao Qiang feel proud.
Appreciation also makes the faces of Zuo Mingnan and others shine.
