When Qi Jiguang's Zhejiang troops arrived in Northern Xinjiang, they stood motionless in the rain for several hours. The appearance and discipline of the troops shocked the Northern Army. However, the discipline of Li Zhi's troops today is probably not weaker than that of Commander Qi's Qi Army. Such an army
The shock caused by the horse was no less than that of Qi Jiguang's Zhejiang troops.
The well-made muskets on the shoulders of the soldiers of the Huben Division, the rows of heavy and light cannons pulled by military horses, and the full-body armor tied to the baggage carts made Hong Chengchou shake his head and sigh. He hadn't seen Li Zhi for more than two years.
The troops and horses have become more powerful. It is a great blessing for our country that our Ming Dynasty has such a strong army.
The generals behind Hong Chengchou at this time included Wang Pu, the general of Datong, Yang Guozhu, the general of Xuanfu, and Wu Sangui, the general of Ningyuan. Wu Sangui, in particular, had never seen Li Zhi's troops. At this time, he saw that Xing Guobo's army was equipped with such
Excellent, jaw-dropping and admirable.
Li Zhi's cannons, muskets and armor, as well as the horses used as riding tools by the infantry, any of them can be used to equip a certain army, which can immediately turn the army into a strong iron-blooded army. And these things
They are actually armed with one army at the same time. How gorgeous is this army?
Only soldiers like Uncle Xing Guo could destroy the bandits from the south and conquer the Tartars from the north, and achieve great military exploits.
Finally, Li Zhi's Chinese army flag appeared in front, and Hong Chengchou led three general soldiers under his command to rush forward.
Seeing Li Zhi on the horse, Hong Chengchou raised his hands and said, "Uncle Xing Guo came all the way north. It was a hard journey!"
Li Zhi turned over and dismounted, raised his hands and said: "How dare you say it's hard to serve the country? But Li Zhi came late and asked the governor to wait."
Hong Chengchou took Li Zhi's hand and said, "I heard that Uncle Xing Guo was busy publishing newspapers in Shandong this month. How are you doing now?"
"Has been successfully released!"
Hong Chengchou was a good man. His honor and disgrace now depended on the outcome of the Jinzhou War. Therefore, he did not reject Li Zhi's newspaper like other civil servants, but instead showed sympathy with Li Zhi. Hearing Li Zhi's words, he laughed.
He laughed and said, "That's good. When Uncle Xing Guo kills and drives back the Eastern slaves in western Liaoning, everything will be worry-free."
Seeing that Hong Chengchou was so good at talking, Li Zhi also burst out laughing, and the scene was very harmonious for a while.
Yang Guozhu came up and said loudly: "I haven't seen Uncle Xing Guo for many years, and the army and horses are even more prosperous than before!"
Li Zhi saw Yang Guozhu, who had fought with Lu Xiangsheng with him, and nodded and said: "General Zhenshuo is still strong, but Lu Duchen is no longer here."
Yang Guozhu cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Uncle Xing Guo for speaking uprightly in front of the emperor, Lu Duchen was favored by the imperial court, and we were even exempted from the crime of losing our master by the emperor."
The two sighed for a while, and Datong General Wang Pu stood up and laughed loudly and said: "The scene of killing slaves with Uncle Xing Guo in Gyeonggi three years ago is still vivid in my mind. Today we support Jinzhou, if we can kill again
Some Tatars avenged Lu Duchen again."
Wang Pu was very good at talking, and he immediately changed the topic of Li Zhi and Yang Guozhu to the current battle situation.
Li Zhi nodded, raised his hands and said to Hong Chengchou: "Supervisor, since the army has gathered, we will go into the Chinese army's tent to discuss how to retreat from the enemy!"
Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "What Uncle Xing Guo said is absolutely true, so we will go to the Central Army to discuss the war."
Everyone got on their horses, and Li Zhi and Hong Chengchou walked side by side towards Hong Chengchou's camp.
Passing by various military camps along the way, the messengers of each army rushed into the camps and shouted loudly, spreading the news that Xing Guobo's troops had arrived in Ningyuan. When the soldiers in each camp heard the news, their morale was high
Great vibration.
The Tatar army went south to challenge the Ming army this time in preparation for a decisive battle with the Ming army. Where has the Ming army ever fought a decisive battle with the Tatars in these years? Every time they saw the Tatars, they ran away and did not dare to fight at all. The Ming army soldiers responded to this
I am very worried about the outcome of the battle.
But now that Uncle Xingguo has arrived, the situation is different.
The story of Li Zhi's defeat of the Qing army at Fanjiazhuang and Qingshankou has been spread all over the country with the interpretation of storytellers and opera troupes. Who in the world does not know Xing Guobo? Soldiers in every town have regarded Li Zhi as a Ming Dynasty soldier.
The mainstay. At this time, when they learned that Xing Guobo's army had arrived, the soldiers' anxiety about the outcome of this decisive battle calmed down a lot.
The Ming soldiers whose tents were near the edge of the camp crowded towards the camp one after another, wanting to see what Uncle Xing Guo's troops were doing. When they saw the large number of muskets and cannons equipped in Li Zhi's army, they couldn't help but let out a chorus of admiration.
Li Zhi asked Xue Sanku to lead the troops and horses to set up camp, while he led three regiment leaders into the Chinese army's tent and discussed the plan to kill the slaves with other generals.
Entering the big tent, Li Zhi saw two large chairs placed side by side in the middle of the tent, with a bear skin covering each of the two chairs. Hong Chengchou entered the tent, pointed to one of the chairs and said: "
Uncle Xing Guo, please take a seat."
Now that Li Zhi is an earl and ranks among the nobles, he is no longer an ordinary general-in-chief. Hong Chengchou asked Li Zhi to sit side by side with him. This was to put Li Zhi on the same level as him. While other generals only
Able to stand on both sides of the tent.
Hong Chengchou was a seasoned man. He was a veteran in the military for a long time, and his way of thinking about problems was very different from that of ordinary civil servants. He knew that Li Zhi was not only an earl, but also had powerful soldiers and a different status. When he came up, he gave Li Zhi no
The same treatment puts Li Zhi on an equal footing with him, and he is treated with full courtesy.
If he treated Li Zhi courteously like this, Li Zhi would be polite to him and respect his right to command. If he asked Li Zhi to stand like other generals, how could Li Zhi obey Hong Chengchou's orders if he was dissatisfied?
Li Zhi thought for a while and realized what Hong Chengchou meant, so he was not polite. He laughed and sat on the big bearskin chair on the right. Zheng Kaicheng and other group leaders stood behind Li Zhi.
Hong Chengchou also sat down, waved his hand, and a large map was lifted out by four guards and spread on the ground in front of two big chairs. What was drawn on the map was the geography of mountains and rivers from the north, south, east and west of the Ningjin Defense Line, and cities and fortresses.
.
Hong Chengchou waved his hand, pointed at a general, and said: "Wu Sangui, you are the local guard, and you know the mountains and geography here best. Please tell me about the current situation!"
When Li Zhi heard the name Wu Sangui, he was shocked and secretly thought that this was the great traitor in history. He looked up and saw a young general in his thirties coming out. The general was wearing white lacquer scale armor.
, wearing a red cloak on his back and a phoenix-winged helmet on his head, he was full of energy. He had a tall nose and sparkling eyes.
Wu Sangui walked up to the map, raised his hands and said, "The general will receive his order."
