Iron blood Suiming

() When it comes to December, the days pass faster. This year's Lingshanwei is very different from previous years. The common people and military households have money in their hands, and those businesses are also opening stores in Lingshanwei. To make money, as soon as it was 23, every household in Lingshanwei, young and old, blocked the market.

What are those young adults doing?Almost all were recruited by Lingshanwei.Those who met the conditions were recruited as combat soldiers, and those who were not eligible were recruited as auxiliary soldiers. Unless they were disabled or seriously ill, Li Jianguo did not let any of them go, and made them all his own soldiers.

In the past three months, the Lingshan guards have reached 15, and the auxiliary soldiers have reached 20.In other words, there are a full 20 soldiers who can provide Li Jianguo with supernatural powers.But to Li Jianguo's disappointment, apart from strengthening all the original abilities by one layer, there is no sign of strengthening the internal organs at all. The only thing that can comfort him is that the arms and other parts can resist forcibly at a distance of about [-] meters. The shot of the flintlock.

But the chest and abdomen are still not good. He can clearly feel that if a musket hits his chest and abdomen within 30 meters, the outer skin may not be broken, but the internal organs will definitely be seriously injured. The main reason is that the kinetic energy is released too quickly and violently. .

Therefore, invincibility is still just a dream, and Li Jianguo put all his energy into the training of combat soldiers and auxiliary soldiers.For the past three months, he has been taking turns to recruit those recruits. In the first month, he has recruited the recruits to death. Many recruits feel that they will definitely die in the hands of Li Jianguo.

But in the second month, everyone found that they survived. Just when they were delighted to find that they didn't have to die, Li Jianguo sent people to spend a lot of money to buy [-] war horses, which made them suffer again.

Li Jianguo is determined to let all soldiers learn to ride horses.Although there are few horses, each person has an hour, and when the time comes, people do not change horses. There are eight hours a day when there are people on horseback.That is to say, there are nearly 5000 people learning to ride horses every day, but each person only has two hours for ten days.

In just these two hours, at least 300 people broke their limbs every day.One day the hapless recruit startled the horse and threw himself to his death.There are also horses, which can only rest for eight hours a day. After one month, there are only three hundred horses left out of five hundred. Fortunately, there are more horses to replenish one after another, but the number is very small. Wei's war horses are always around 400.

All the generals didn't know why Li Kaiguo did this, so what if all the soldiers learned to ride horses?Without war horses, no matter how skilled the riding skills are, they cannot be used as cavalry.Some generals also boldly mentioned it, meaning, my lord, do you think learning how to ride a horse is... .Before he finished speaking, Li Jianguo kicked him away and fined him 50 taels of silver.Immediately there were no more comments.

In December, more and more war horses died from exhaustion, and the people in Lingshanwei were tired of eating dead horse meat. Finally, on the 23rd day, there were only fifty war horses left. At that time, Li Jianguo gave the order to enter a state of combat readiness, ready to go to war at any time.

Although this order came suddenly, it was within everyone's expectations. Everyone knew that Li Jianguo had trained troops for three full months, and this was a sign of war.But no one knew that Li Jianguo was going to fight there.Most people guessed that Li Jianguo was going to conquer the whole province of Shandong, tear himself apart from the imperial court, and formally rebel against Ming Dynasty.

This rumor is very reliable, even Feng Guoyong thinks so with four thousand households and six hundred households.It is worth mentioning that due to the outstanding performance in debt collection in various counties in Shandong, Li Jianguo finally upgraded the first batch of four hundred households to one thousand households, and re-divided the right to lead troops. Each thousand households can lead five thousand soldiers At that time, six new hundred households were brought up, and each led five thousand soldiers.In other words, Li Jianguo's soldiers were divided into ten thousand-man teams.

On the 23rd day, the entire Lingshanwei army worked hard all day and finally got ready for battle. However, until the 27th day, Li Kaiguo's order to start was still not issued.Thousands of households of the thousand-person team gathered together, muttering what the adults think?Why is this order so old?Can't pass this year?

27 To slaughter chickens, no matter what happens in the military camp, the common people are happy to slaughter chickens, pigs, sheep, and all animals that can be turned into meat, except cattle.The entire Lingshanwei is very lively, with the screams of animals and the smell of blood everywhere. The first thing everyone says when they meet is, have you bought meat?

At this time, Li Kaiguo was receiving envoys from North Korea. This time, the envoys from North Korea came here specially a few years ago, and brought gold and tributes presented to the emperor, as well as women who were to be sent to the palace. Please Li Kaiguo to pass them on. , As for whether the emperor wants North Korea, he has to express it.There is another one that Li Jianguo wanted, which is a detailed map of Liaodong, which has marked in detail the actual control areas of the Tartars and the situation of the garrisons in various places.

Not only that, the North Korean envoy also brought the latest news about the Tatars to Li Kaiguo, Huang Taiji wanted to unify Mobei Mongolia, and there was news that the second conquest of the Har tribe would be carried out soon.Huang Taiji was also conspiring to enter the Datong area of ​​Xuanfu again, firstly to shock Mongolia and let them see the strength of the Tartars.The second is to strengthen oneself and weaken the Ming Dynasty.

The King of Korea personally wrote a memorial, reminding Emperor Chongzhen to pay attention to the invasion of the Tartars in the coming year and to prepare early.

Li Jianguo held this memorial and couldn't help sneering. Even if Emperor Chongzhen knew the Tartar's intentions, he might not be able to resist, but it is much better to know the news than not to know.Li Jianguo summoned Wei Chuping and asked him to draw up a memorial. In the name of Jin Yiwei's secret agent, he asked Ma Ying to find a way to send the news to the court.

Sure enough, after Emperor Chongzhen received the memorial, he secretly ordered the generals in Liaodong to investigate the matter, but Liaodong submitted a request for the payment of the outstanding payment over the years, which made Emperor Chongzhen furious and issued a strict order to reprimand him. You want the officers and soldiers to work for you, how is this possible?

On the 29th, every household was steaming steamed buns, but Li Jianguo summoned the generals to issue an order.In the first order, the second to 8000th Lingshanwei teams stayed at Lingshanwei and kept an eye on the movement of the Ming army.The second order is that Wei Chuping and Feng Guoyong jointly manage civil affairs, and everything can only be implemented with the mutual consent of the two.

In the third order, 1000 soldiers from the [-]th team followed Li Jianguo to sea.Li Jianguo didn't say what to do specifically, and the generals didn't dare to ask.

Wei Chuping said: "Sir, what if I need to find you urgently? What should I do?" Li Jianguo smiled lightly and said, "Unless it is an urgent matter, you cannot use this method."
