After Li Laiheng decided to deal with the remaining troops of the Qin army, Fang Yiren immediately started to make arrangements. He also communicated with the military affairs department headed by Gu Junen. After sending troops to escort Mrs.
The remaining thousands of soldiers were reorganized into an independent battalion of the new army, named "Zhongzhen Battalion", and Li Yuanyin was appointed as the captain.
The military ranks of Chu Chuang are the same as those of the Central Plains Chuang Army, but the military organization is slightly different from that of the Central Plains Chuang Army directly under Li Zicheng. The battalion is the highest-level organization of Chu Chuang, and nominally all the troops under Li Laiheng's command, plus those left behind in Huguang
There are no less than nearly 100,000 people in Shandong and other places, and they are all considered to be in the front camp.
This kind of organization is mainly because Li Laiheng is still a member of the Chuang Army and needs to follow the general framework of Li Zicheng's five-battalion military system. However, from a strategic perspective, Chu Chuang's current army organization has gradually become incompatible with its huge army.
The size of the army has increased.
When he was in Huguang before, Li Laiheng formulated the Chu Chuang army organization. The specific level was below the battalion, which was directly a standard first-level tactical corps unit of about 3,000 people.
The current total strength of the former battalion in Zhili and Shandong in the north alone is already tens of thousands. In the Xinjian troops in the Huguang area, the number is even greater. For example, "Biao" only has 3,000 troops.
The tactical corps units on the left and right are too small in size and are very inconvenient to command. It is necessary to set up a larger combat unit above the "standard" level.
Li Laiheng himself is now only General Quan of the front camp, so some issues regarding army establishment cannot be set up in the north as straightforwardly as he did in Huguang.
However, he also considered the future situation and felt that if there were changes in Chu Chuang's war, it would be necessary to establish more "battalion" level corps units under Chu Chuang's organizational system.
As now, temporarily assigning Hao Yaoqi, Ma Bao and others as the enemy's front line commanders to command several targets in a unified manner. This method is not only cumbersome, but also makes the generals not aware of the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals. It is difficult to adapt to
A high-intensity war with the Qing army.
"Loyalty Camp..."
Fang Yiren thought about the name Li Laiheng arranged for the remaining troops of the Qin army, and felt something in his heart: "These people can repent now, serve God wholeheartedly, repent and surrender, and in the future they can be called loyal after killing captives and doing meritorious service.
"
Li Laiheng suddenly lost his mind and was thinking about something else. After he and Fang Yiren dealt with the difficult matter of Mrs.
Determining the life and death of everyone in the world is countless times more serious than the trivial matters related to Mrs. Xing.
"When Sun Baigu used troops in Henan, he massacred several cities, and his crime should have been unpardoned. But now that the Donglu invaders have entered the pass and occupied Yanjing, the situation in the world has changed drastically. Sun Chuanting is dead, and there is no point in scolding him! He
He is a foolish minister of the Ming court and a fool in front of Chongzhen, but the Ming army still has tens of thousands of border soldiers, and His Highness is an extraordinary leader and will definitely understand the importance of winning the morale of the Ming army."
Fang Yiren also agreed with this idea: "The Eastern captives have raised hundreds of thousands of troops, and the military situation on the road is extremely tense now. The news from the red team only indicates that the Qing army is adding troops day by day. It seems that a big war is in sight...
…The Yi and Di people have grown so powerful that it has never happened before in ancient times… Baideng in the Han Dynasty and Weishui in the Tang Dynasty did not have the hardships and dangers of today’s situation.”
Huang Taiji has entered Beijing. From outside the Liaodong border wall to the north and south sides of Shanhaiguan, the Qing army is intensively carrying out its final mobilization.
Of course Huang Taiji knew that using Wu Sangui to kill Sun Chuanting was just the beginning. He also knew that it was nothing important for him to control Beijing and even put Emperor Chongzhen under house arrest.
Not with the bright horn, but with the wandering thieves horning the world.
If Li Zicheng's main force cannot be completely defeated in a decisive battle, everything Huang Taiji has obtained through deception will soon be lost.
The Qing army only left a small number of old and weak men outside the pass, and all the remaining able-bodied soldiers had gone south. Not only the Manchu soldiers, but also the Sanshun Wang and Yishun Gong, who originally submitted to Huang Taiji, were also known as the Gongshun Wangs.
Kong Youde, King Zhishun Shang Kexi, King Huaishun Geng Zhongming, and Xushun Duke Shen Zhixiang, all the Han troops, including the troops and mules and horses that the outer Mongolian vassal could recruit, also entered the pass.
The land of Yan and Dai, which was still under the control of the "Ming court", was already filled with fishy smells and barbarians were roaming everywhere. Even the Mongolian Yiding cavalry who originally belonged to the Ming army's border troops, except for Wu Sangui and a few other emperors,
In addition to the generals who were highly valued by Taiji, Huang Taiji managed to transfer most of the others to the Eight Banners of Mongolia.
Huang Taiji is trying his best to mobilize and enrich his troops. The city of Beijing has just been controlled by the Qing army, and people's hearts are still uncertain. However, many houses have been demolished or forcibly occupied by Qing soldiers.
For the sake of military needs, Huang Taiji had to resort to any means.
Jueyu Qingqi urged the war clouds, and the dark clouds between Yan and Zhao were shrouded. Li Zicheng was also deploying troops from Shaanxi and Henan. However, there is no doubt that due to the victory of the Battle of Dangshan and the Battle of Baigou River, the Chu army attached great importance to the Qing army, and
Not as high as Huang Taiji valued Li Zicheng.
Although the Chuang army also suffered defeats at Datong and Yanmen, the defeat of Datong was due to the betrayal of traitors, and the defeat of Yanmen was due to Tian Jianxiu, who was not good at military strategy, who used 30,000 troops to defeat Sun Chuanting and Dorgon's 70,000 troops, and
It cannot be explained how powerful the Qing army was.
Although Li Zicheng felt that Chongzhen was no longer his main enemy, he had not fully realized how powerful his new enemy was.
This led to the fact that although the Chuang army was trying its best to mobilize and dispatch more troops to Shanxi and Beizhili, the urgency was not as high as that of the Qing army.
Li Laiheng felt the most urgent. Although he hurriedly wanted to recruit reinforcements from his base camp in Huguang, the distance from Huguang to Beizhili was too long, and it was too urgent to move troops in a hurry.
In desperation, he had no choice but to try his best to persuade Liu Fangliang, who had personally experienced the bitter battle of Baigou River, and asked Master Liu to persuade King Chuang with him and explain how powerful the Qing army was.
It’s just to what extent Li Zicheng can increase the sense of urgency...
This is difficult to grasp!
Huang Taiji is not Mao Dun or Jieli Khan. He is not a wild and untamed eagle on the grassland, but a cunning fox in the black water of the Northeastern White Mountains.
Foxes are more difficult to deal with than eagles and wild wolves, and Li Laiheng knows this best.
"When will Guojun Town arrive? Wang Chen, Yi Gong, Lao Bai, when will they arrive? Although Chu Chuang did not capture Jiujiang Prefecture, the Ming Army in the south of the Yangtze River can at least protect themselves. I don't believe they dare to do so at this time
Go up the river to attack Wuchang. Yuezhou is also in our hands. Hunan has been tortured by Zhang Xianzhong, and the Ming army has no spare power. Huguang does not need to leave too many garrison troops now, Guojunzhen, Baiwang, Gaoyi
Gong, Chen Xin... just wait for the Chu soldiers to go north!"
Li Laiheng set his sights on the far south, across the Central Plains and the Han River, in Xiangyang, Suizhou, and Wuchang. The Suizhou system he created has been promoted throughout the three towns of Huguang.
Camps, militia, judicial inspectors...
Chen Xin, Bai Wang, and Gao Yigong are all talented people.
Guo Junzhen is the most overall-oriented general under Li Laiheng. Although Hao Yaoqi has grown up very quickly, he is a fighting general after all. He still focuses on rushing and fighting in battles, and lacks the calculating side of Guo Junzhen.
.
Ma Bao was an extraordinary general, but he always thought too much about himself. Zhang Pizhu was still too young. As for Li Shiwei, he was more or less inferior in military talent.
Li Laiheng is now waiting for Guo Junzhen to come to the north. He has already sent orders to Wuchang. Now that the decisive battle in North China is about to determine the fate of the world, it is definitely not a good time to preserve strength.
After Chu Chuang has been operating for several years, it is time to show the results of the business system!
"Your Majesty!"
"So straight? What happened?"
Gu Junen hurriedly walked into the commander's mansion. He held a piece of letter paper in his hand and gasped: "King Chuang wants to send you to Taiyuan!"
(End of the fourth volume. As expected, the next volume will be the final volume. After Dashun was established, the decisive battle with the Qing army was imminent. The Dashun army gained a strategic advantage in the hands of Li Laiheng, and this book can probably be completed.
