The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 48
Liu Zhilun was even more happy to see that there was a well-equipped cavalry with a general flag and full of fighting spirit.

Not afraid of ignorance of goods, but afraid of comparing goods, Huang Han's cavalry servants are all burly men, and their quality has surpassed the few servants under Liu Zhilun's generals.

Huang Han made a condition and said: "I want to gather all the cavalry under Sir's command to form a single battalion, and I will lead 56 cavalrymen Ding to be the commander of the cavalry battalion. I don't know if Sir can make it happen?"

According to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, under normal circumstances, the battalion should consist of cavalry, three infantry and seven infantry, but Liu Zhilun's ten thousand cavalry would not even add up to one thousand cavalry.

Four or five hundred of these cavalry were servants who belonged to dozens of military officers, and the characteristics of servants were also ridiculous in the Ming army.

The military officer took his servants to the expedition, and the court had to give them their true colors and discounts with a higher standard than the battalion soldiers. These servants only recognized the patriarch and not the court, which belonged to the nature of private soldiers acquiesced by the court.

The system of the Ming Dynasty led to the fact that the generals did not know the soldiers, the servants were the generals' reliance, and the battalion soldiers were the people of the court. If any general took office alone, it would be a joke.

The cavalry of Liu Zhilun's troops minus the servants of the military officers, only [-] cavalry were insufficient.

Liu Zhilun rolled his eyes and thought for a moment. He thought that it would be harmless to put all these few cavalry under Huang Han's command, and it would be considered decisive. He smiled and agreed:
"It's absolutely possible, but I have less than five hundred cavalry under my command. General Huang must take care of these troops."

Huang Sheng knew that Liu Zhilun was like a beggar, and didn't expect him to have many cavalry, so he agreed, "That's natural. Every soldier's life must be respected, and a lowly position will be like walking on thin ice."

After negotiating the conditions, Liu Zhilun took Huang Han's hand, and the two returned to the camp hand in hand to show their kindness.

Seeing that he was so polite, Huang Han began to tremble, he said:
"I know that my lord is going to lead the army to attack Zunhua. I think that soldiers are expensive and fast. My lord can gather all the young and strong soldiers and carry only three days of dry food to attack Zunhua. I will lead the cavalry to charge first. Our army can do it with lightning speed." Take the city in one fell swoop."

Liu Zhilun pondered for a long time and said: "General Huang's troops are more aggressive. The Dongnu and Tartars are used to attacking cavalry. All the strong cavalry and infantry of our army will participate in the sneak attack. In case Zunhua City cannot be taken in a short time, Isn't our army hard to care about?"

"My lord, as far as I know, there are only 800 soldiers in Zunhua's armored slaves. Our army has thousands of people going up, and it's another surprise attack. The possibility of success is not low!"

Liu Zhilun shook his head like a rattle, he said: "No, no, General Huang just arrived, I don't know how difficult it is to lead those soldiers, if we rashly divide the troops, the result is really unpredictable.

What's more, only when you clench your fists and fight out will you have strength. I think that during the Saarhu War, if the Ming army did not divide their troops, even if they could not win a big victory over the wild boar skin, they would not be defeated. "

No way, what they said made sense, Huang Han lacked a reason to persuade Liu Zhilun and had to give up.

But Huang Han did not give up his confidence in Liu Zhilun's capture of Zunhua. He proposed again:

"I suggest that the whole army get up early tomorrow and hurry to Zunhua City in three days. The garrison of Zunhua City is really only [-]. As long as our army takes Zunhua before the slave-building reinforcements arrive, we will not only get With a lot of food and salaries, there will be a strong city with sufficient food and grass."

Why didn't Liu Zhilun want to march to Zunhua in a hurry, but unfortunately he organized a rush march under the condition of low morale, and he really didn't know how many people could reach the field in the end!
In history, he really belonged to the tragic figure who wanted to kill the enemy but was unable to return to the sky.

Liu Zhilun sighed and said: "Oh, I am also familiar with military books, why don't you know that soldiers are precious and fast, but what is the situation now, if you are negligent, some soldiers will run away, so what if people's hearts are not stable?"

Huang Han said confidently: "Haha, it's not difficult to win people's hearts. I have a way to make the soldiers take the initiative to advance courageously."

"I don't know why General Huang taught me."

"Move with emotion, understand with reason, lure with profit, threaten with threat, haha, a carrot and a stick are enough!"

"Move with emotion, understand with reason, etc. I am familiar with it, but I don't know what is carrot and stick?"

Damn, the words of modern people slipped out, Huang Han laughed and said: "There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Your Excellency publicly promised that as long as the soldiers who captured Zunhua City arrived in time, they would be rewarded with 30 taels of silver. Those who have military merits The silver reward is doubled and the official promotion is also given.”

What kind of bullshit strategy is this, to treat everyone else as fools?Liu Zhilun was extremely disappointed, he was discouraged and said: "Looking at plum blossoms may not be useful to quench thirst! Now these soldiers are hob meat, and if they don't see rabbits, they won't scatter eagles."

"How could this be wishing for plum blossoms to quench thirst? Mr. Liu wants to fulfill his words like a mountain."

Liu Zhilun exclaimed: "Then it's even more impossible. The imperial court has a hard time spending it. How could it be possible to hand over 10 taels of snowflake silver to this official?"

"Of course we don't need the money from the court. We led the troops to attack Zunhua to grab money, food and territory. Why not give some of the captured money to the soldiers?"

Liu Zhilun's gloomy eyes began to shine, and he asked in doubt: "How many 10 taels of silver are there in Zunhua City? How did General Huang know?"

"More than that, I saw with my own eyes Jiannu and Tatars escorting thousands of ordinary people to drive ox carts and horse carts full of goods to Zunhua, and those ordinary people also carried a lot of property on their shoulders.

The humble officials had ambushed Jiannu before, and a lot of gold and silver could always be found in the bags they carried. This shows how many good things there should be in Zunhua, a place where Jiannu temporarily stores looting materials. "

"It turned out that General Huang saw it with his own eyes, which is also reasonable. Dong Nu has been wreaking havoc on the capital for dozens of days. These beasts should have robbed a lot of property."

Liu Zhilun has a strong sense of national honor and a lofty ambition to take the world as his own responsibility. Hearing Huang Han's narration, thinking of how many Han people's families will be ruined by those barbarians' accumulation of property, he has a very bad face.

He also said: "Since the Tumu Fort Incident, the capital of the Ming Dynasty has not been affected by war for more than a hundred years, and there are so many wealthy families.

Dongnu and Tartars looted no less than 20 households from our Daming Good Household, and the gold and silver they robbed may be worth more than several million taels. If they captured Zunhua, they might give it to the soldiers. reward. "

Seeing that Liu Zhilun seemed to be determined to break the boat, Huang Han raised his fire and said, "The key to victory is speed. We must encourage all the Ming troops to attack Zunhua with all the vigor that they are not afraid of running to death. All the heavy things They must be discarded, even the Hongyi Cannon cannot be carried."
