"Let's settle this matter first. We will slowly fill in the rules and regulations of the Tuying camp later."
Li Laiheng decided the matter with a wave of his hand. Due to his continuous success in combat affairs recently, he has become more and more powerful and self-reliant. Without waiting for the objections of Gao Yigong and Bai Wang, he turned to Guo Junzhen.
things.
"We were able to win this battle and obtain such a rich capture. It was all thanks to Jun Zhen's ingenious plan. He was the first to get there and risked his own life. He was wounded by the defenders with a three-eyed musket. We should go and visit him together.
Visit Junzhen."
Everyone unanimously agreed on this matter. Guo Junzhen's surprise attack was the key to breaking through Pingfeng Village. Hao Yaoqi heard from Li Laiheng's words that the team leader obviously admired his old friend and felt proud of his
My old friend is about to have a good future and is very happy.
After breaking through Pingfeng Village, half of the day and most of the night have passed, and now it's almost dawn. Guo Junzhen's injury was not particularly serious to begin with. He had been fighting with King Chuang for nearly ten years.
He was a military general and his health was not that bad. When he saw Li Laiheng and a large group of people coming to visit him in person, he quickly stood up to greet him.
Li Laiheng smiled and said: "Jun Zhen, you should be sitting today, and we are standing! It is all thanks to your efforts that all of us can stand in Yu Dazhong's village and speak safely like this."
Guo Junzhen always had his sights set high, but he only admired Li Laiheng's talents and acted very submissively in front of him. He was not self-effacing, and just asked Li Laiheng: "Guan Dui, you promised me before the war that if the stronghold is successfully broken,
, will explain to me in detail Yiling’s considerations when using troops, I wonder if Guan Dui still remembers them?”
"Of course, of course, this is certain. Not only the use of troops in Yiling, we have to explain and summarize it after the war; this time, we have to explain and summarize the experience of using troops in Pingfengzhai. I will give you a suggestion here.
, every time after the war, we should hold a small meeting like now, sum up the experience and lessons learned in the battle, and discuss together what was not good enough in this battle and how to correct it in the future."
Li Laiheng believed that learning war from war was the fastest way to improve military strategy.
In the past, the camp was accustomed to mobile tactics. Although under special circumstances, this kind of mobile combat was correct. However, Li Laiheng also felt that the camp must not be allowed to form a path dependence. It must be broken through the post-war summary meeting.
Path dependence allows everyone to master various combat modes such as field battles, sieges, defenses, maneuvers, guerrillas, and confrontations.
Hao Yaoqi responded quickly: "That's great! I think the troops we used for this surprise attack are still too few."
Guo Junzhen endured the pain and agreed with this. He said: "Fifty people are indeed a little less. Based on this experience, the surprise attack force should be divided into two or even three batches in the future. The first wave
After the vanguard's surprise attack is successful, the second wave of troops can quickly follow up and expand the results, so that they will not be as stretched as Wai Qi and I were."
Li Laiheng nodded. He did not directly affirm or deny, but encouraged everyone to express their opinions and start a discussion.
After talking for a while, Li Shiwei also raised the issue of the musketry team. He felt that the musketry team was now responsible for arranging gunfire and artillery correction.
Fang Yiren didn't want to say anything on this occasion, but after all, he was still the number one firearms authority in the Little Tigers, and everyone was fixating on him. Fang Yiren had no choice but to reply: "Leader Li and I have the same opinion.
There should be a separate artillery team in addition to the cannon team. However, the training of gunners does not happen overnight, and there is no need to rush it in a short period of time."
Li Laiheng knew that Fang Yiren still had various concerns about actually joining the Chuang Army. However, as they experienced together and participated in more and more wars, not only Li Laiheng's view of Fang Yiren was gradually changing, but Li Laiheng also believed that Fang Yiren's view of the Chuang Army
It is also changing.
Maybe after a while, he can really reuse this evil scholar with too many evil thoughts?
With Li Laiheng's deliberate encouragement, everyone discussed enthusiastically for a while, and the discussion didn't stop until dawn. Because Guo Junzhen was still injured, Li Laiheng didn't say much and left a few personal followers to take care of him.
The other generals went to their own units to grasp the situation.
A few days later, Li Hao, Puxiang Zhenren, Shen Jingbang, Zhu You and other forces near Xiong'er Mountain all returned to their home village with different thoughts under Li Laiheng's differentiating efforts.
The site of Pingfeng Village was occupied by the Chuang Army. Li Laiheng asked Gao Yigong to move his Gaojia Village in Xiaogushan directly to Pingfeng Village. According to Fang Yiren's opinion, the name of the village was changed from Pingfeng Village to Desheng Village.
.
"Desheng Village! Hahaha, then if I, Li Laiheng, become the leader of Desheng Village, can I be called Li Desheng?"
During this period, Li Laiheng also took the time to return to Xiaohu Village in Funiu Mountain and gave some innocuous small gifts to Youci and Li Nu. The mountainous areas of Xiong'er Mountain and Funiu Mountain were basically included in Chuang's Village.
within the army's sphere of influence.
By the end of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, at dawn, the area around Desheng Village had already woken up. There were smoke from cooking stoves, the sound of chickens echoed, the horns continued, and the neighing of war horses. Everywhere in the mountainous area that was slightly flat, there were troops training.
, there are often waving flags and the sound of gongs and drums to direct the movement. Sometimes there are also bursts of shouts in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
After daybreak, standing on the high point of the village wall, you can see that troops are stationed in almost every village within a radius of ten miles. Outside the villages, all the leeward and sunny slopes and mountain valleys are dotted with patches of gray-white tents and flags of various colors.
Flying in the faint morning light.
On the top of a hill a few miles east of Desheng Village, many tents were covered by dense woods. A long strip of dawn mist blocked the middle of the large forest, causing the white mist beside the forest to mix with the colors of the military tents.
Together, several red flags fluttering on the treetops contrast with the scaly morning glow. Which is the red flag and which is the morning glow makes it difficult for you to tell sometimes.
In the orange-red and rose-tinted glow, Li Laiheng, together with a group of soldiers including Zhang Pilu, rode out of the stronghold to watch the troops drill. The bright red sun slowly revealed an arc from the hilltop in the east.
Then a semicircle was revealed, making the silver and copper ornaments on the horse's bridle shine brightly.
"Miao Lichen is an honest man, and the structure of Tuying has begun to be built. If we encounter a village like Pingfeng Village in the future, just let the Tuying caves be blasted."
Miao Lichen was the leader of the miners who voluntarily defected to the Little Tigers. He was taciturn, a very rough and unemotional man. After joining the Little Tigers, Li Laiheng put him in charge of the camp. Although he had not experienced war yet,
But at least in terms of training, Miao Lichen did not miss the mark at all and tried his best to follow the rhythm of the old brothers in the camp.
Hao Yaoqi also laughed heartily and said: "Now most of the villages in Xiong'er Mountain and Funiu Mountain are obeying our orders. Our Little Tiger Team alone has nearly a thousand soldiers. I don't think even the old master can do that."
It’s developing so fast.”
When Li Laiheng returned to Xiaohu Village in Funiu Mountain, he also learned about Li Zicheng's current development through Mrs. Gao. He knew that Li Zicheng was active in Baofeng, Lushan, Jiaxian and other places, and the main force of the Breaking Army was estimated to be about 3,000 soldiers.
, and the three troops of Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, and Bai Wang combined, their strength almost reached half of the main force of the Chu army.
He couldn't help but be a little proud of himself and feel a little proud of the good situation in front of him.
King Chuang is a high mountain, and the higher you look up, the higher it gets, but it seems that you are not very far away from climbing the peak!
Li Shiwei also said in admiration: "It's all because of the skill of the team leader. Since we left Shang Yun Dashan, our family has become so rich in just one year."
Except for Gao Yigong, Bai Wang and others were out and about, the other generals all praised Li Laiheng for being so brilliant. Only Guo Junzhen thought highly of himself. Although he admired Li Laiheng, he still emphasized: "You can live in Desheng Village.
You should thank me!"
This sentence made Li Laiheng raise an eyebrow, but he also understood Guo Junzhen's character and knew that he was a dignified character. It's just that other generals of the Little Tiger Team, except Hao Yaoqi and Guo Junzhen, are old friends.
Shao complained in his stomach about this new general who had his eyes set higher than his head.
"In charge of the team, two tigers came with Mr. Niu. It is said that they brought news about the old boss."
"Mr. Niu? Is this Qi Weng?"
Li Laiheng was shocked when he heard the report from the soldiers. When he returned to Xiaohu Village in Funiu Mountain, he heard from Mrs. Gao that Li Zicheng had collected the Henan Jurenniu Venus.
That was Juren. In the system of the Ming Dynasty, the status of Juren was far beyond that of scholars. It could be said that they had already reached the ruling class. In the Ming Dynasty, it was no different than that of the Tang and Song dynasties. A single Juren fame was enough to protect the family business for three generations and become a local leader.
The family is famous.
So when the news of Niu Jinxing joining the Chuang Army came out, it shocked everyone.
Although Zhang Xianzhong also had literati such as Xu Yixian and Pan Duao under him, they were just scholars, and they were very different from Niu Jinxing's reputation as a scholar.
Niu Jinxing's surname is Juming and his nickname is Qidong, so many people in the Chuang army respectfully call him Qiweng.
Since leaving Shang Yun Dashan, Li Laiheng has been working with Gao Yigong and Bai Wang. Not only has he not seen the two tigers Liu Tichun for a long time, but he has also never met Niu Juren, who has a very high social status.
one side.
After he heard the news about Niu Jinxing's arrival, he immediately led his subordinates to greet him.
Niu Jinxing and Liu Tichun, the second tiger, were waiting at the gate of Desheng Village. Niu Jinxing had a good appearance, with a sparse and thick beard. He wore a half-worn sheepskin robe with a round collar and a square scarf.
With a somewhat melancholy look on his face, he was riding a donkey.
He was holding a folding fan in his hand, and what was written on the fan was Fang Xiaoru's "Fan Inscription": A great fire flows with gold, and the heaven and earth are furnaces; you are here, Yi, Zhou Daru. The north wind is cool, and rain and snow are carried on the way; you are here
At that time, Yi and I were all hungry. Hey! "If you use it, you will do it; if you throw it away, you will hide it. But I and you have this husband!"
