"You're underestimating people again! Although the men I brought out are few, their horse and horse skills are first-class, and each man has a good armor and stomach. It cost me a lot of money. But brother-in-law, you have to save your money.
Use it! I'm not afraid of a war, but I feel bad if my money is wasted!" Li Lu warned.
"I've never seen you so desperate for money rather than life." Wu Shigong laughed and scolded again, "Okay, let's kill the tiger brothers! I will treat your soldiers as my sons. We will also provide military supplies along the way.
Runing's army is coming."
"Isn't this nonsense? Who can you use? A rich man! Brother, I am so poor that I only have my pants!" Li Lu immediately started to climb up the pole.
"Put it down! But when you were in bed with those sisters-in-law, you really didn't even want your pants."
"What you said is so irritating..."
"Don't just act nice when you get an advantage. I'll do the math for you..."
…
After talking about business, Wu Shigong and Li Lu began to race around the world.
In fact, Wu Shigong was very fond of Li Lu's army. Ever since Li Lu thought that he was being hunted by the Holy Spirit to Ningling County, he had been increasing investment in his own army, so his equipment came from Ru
Ning Jun bought it, and the troops were trained by instructors invited from Runing Army. In addition, the 1,500 cavalrymen on this expedition were basically Li Lu's personal soldiers and servants. Therefore, in addition to the overall tactics being worse,
Although he has less combat experience, his actual combat effectiveness is actually not bad.
However, contrary to Li Lu's estimation, Wu Shigong wanted to have a real encounter with the Manchu army during this expedition. Even many senior civil and military officials in the Runing Army did not know this idea.
The reason for changing the previous practice of conserving strength was, of course, to consume the strength of the Qing army.
Wu Shigong knew that his Runing Army would have to face the Qing Army sooner or later. If the Qing Army entered the Pass this time and the Qing Army was encircled and suppressed by the Ming Army, and its strength was greatly reduced, he would severely cut off the Qing Army.
A piece of meat will give you an advantage in the final decisive battle with the Qing army.
The second step is to test the tactics of the Runing Army. So far, the Runing Army has only had some battles between small units with the Qing Army ten years ago. There has not been a large-scale war at the level of the Qing Army. The tactics of the Qing Army
, the commander's command, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, etc., it can be said that Wu Shigong knows nothing about it. Therefore, Wu Shigong is preparing to train his troops during this expedition, hoping to discover some advantages and disadvantages of the Runing Army's tactics and equipment to prepare for the future decisive battle.
.
Finally, there is the same psychological problem. After all, the soldiers of the Runing Army do not live in a vacuum. They also hear the words "Jurchens are invincible!" from time to time. Even Wu Shigong is a little scared of the Qing army's strength. Therefore,
, Wu Shigong wanted to take advantage of this weakness of the Qing army to break the myth of the Qing army's invincibility with some victories, boost the morale of the Runing army, and build up the confidence of the army to "dare to fight."
Of course, Wu Shigong was somewhat patriotic; Wu Shigong was worried about his family in the capital and other reasons. Anyway, Wu Shigong didn't want his visit to the Qing Dynasty to turn into a tourist trip, and wanted to proactively find the Qing army for a war.
As a superior, Wu Shigong must be the one who puts interests first. He will not stick to simply preserving strength. When needed, he will choose to use his elite without hesitation. As long as the goal is achieved, he will be the current 60,000 Runing
Even if the entire army is lost, he will not blink an eye. In one sentence: Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while.
Of course, due to the lack of intelligence and poor communication, Wu Shigong didn't know that his idea of other Ming armies consuming the Qing army was just a sweet dream. If he knew this, maybe he would vomit three liters of blood!
On November 12, the Runing army swore to go out and arrived in Guide two days later. They stayed in Guide for three days, waiting for the 4,000 Yu troops led by Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng, and then arrived in Jining three days later.
.
In Jining, the allied army waited for another three days. When the Runing army did not move, Liu Zeqing's five thousand Lu army would not move. After that, everyone went to Jining Cangyun Ambassador by familiar routes.
When the warehouse ambassador saw everyone, he was first shocked! Why are these grandfathers here again? Then he was overjoyed, finally the grandfathers were here. He immediately opened the doors of each warehouse and allowed everyone to take what they needed.
Now that Ambassador Cang Yun recognized his identity, everyone was happy. With a stroke of their pen, they signed the receipt that Ambassador Cang Yun took out without even looking at it, and evened out Ambassador Cang Yun's corruption accounts in the next few years.
.
Then it went all the way north. The Runing Army was to the west of the canal, and Liu Zeqing, Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng were to the east of the canal. The two armies advanced at the same speed. It is important to point out that the Runing Army has absorbed the lessons of King Qin last time and strictly abided by them.
The rules for fighting in non-own garrison areas. In addition to the dry food bags that each soldier carries with him containing ten days' worth of dry food, the Runing Army also has a centralized reserve of twenty days' worth of food and grass.
The above grain and grass reserves will generally never be used. Daily expenses will be obtained through local collection and other reserves.
However, when the coalition forces entered the vicinity of Jinan, they obtained information about the presence of Qing troops in the north. This made the coalition forces very nervous and immediately sent out a large number of reconnaissance cavalry. After that, the coalition's marching speed slowed down greatly.
Every move was made cautiously. However, until they marched to Dezhou, they did not encounter even a Qing army spy. This greatly inspired the coalition forces, and they immediately increased their marching speed through Cangzhou.
When they were in Cangzhou, the coalition forces split up. Liu Zeqing and others continued to go north, but Wu Shigong received an order from the court: stand by where he was, proactively seek out the enemy and fight, but not approach the capital.
The imperial court was also very wary of Wu Shigong's Runing Army. It was already December 10th.
On the same day, Songjiangfu Pier.
"Mr. Zheng Qian! Since everything has been sent here, it's convenient for you. You said that your Zheng family's boat is in a hurry to go back and is needed! Well, send us across the river. This won't delay you for long!"
Huang Qifai said.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huang. You can think of your own plan! Set sail!" the leader of the Zheng family's fleet ordered.
"You dare! Seize the ship!" Gonzalez on the side couldn't listen anymore. Following his order, the soldiers of the Marine Corps immediately raised their weapons and surrounded General Zheng Qian.
"Hey!" That Zheng Qianzong didn't change his expression. He pushed away the weapon pointed at him and walked to Gonzalez, "I didn't expect there was a Franco here? I want to see grandpa's courage.
"If you have the guts, just fight? Don't say that I haven't given you a chance. Let me ask Mr. Huang again, do you agree to the matter of my family's leader?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.
