Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 145 Wanli's death
Staff Zhao went to report to Zhang Zongxian as soon as he returned to the Jiazhou Administration.In his opinion, Young Master Hu agreed too soon.There must be something hidden in it.

"My lord! Governor Hu must have known about the affairs on the grassland, and I think that Governor Hu must have plots against the bank. They are very concerned about the bank's affairs and keep asking how the bank operates. It seems that they are already That's right, and Governor Hu's nephew has always regarded money as his life, and he would never agree to do things without receiving the money, there must be something strange in it."

Zhang Zongxian was not surprised that Governor Hu took a fancy to Taiping's bank.After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see how much money they make.

"Fortunately, Zhao's staff, you know the Yanshou town very well, so you can speak up if you have any ideas."

Staff Zhao knew that it was time for him to perform, so he cleared his throat and said:
"Governor Hu is an insatiable person, but to mobilize troops, he still needs the consent of General Wang. Since the soldiers and horses in Yulin and Yan'an Mansions have changed, the two must have colluded together. Since my lord wants to delay time, It's better to arrange a man and horse to stand outside the wall and pretend to buckle it. Then Governor Hu and Zongbing Wang must mobilize troops and horses to take precautions. man's officer."

This is indeed a good way.It also let Governor Nahu know that I am not easy to mess with.But there is no need to attack the military fort. It is not necessary for Ming people to kill each other.

"There is no need to capture the military fort. Most of the piers outside the side wall are our people. I will arrange for the sneak attacking Tartars to cooperate, so that all the defensive side walls of Yansui Town will be lit with beacons. Wait for the side generals of Yanshou Town When you are exhausted, you can talk to Governor Nahu's nephew and pretend to increase the shares of the woolen workshop for them. Stabilize them first, and they will die until September."

Zhang Zongxian is still not at ease after finishing all these, let his wife and children continue to stay in Shuofang City, speed up the construction of the four major workshops in Shuofang City, and move the winery, glass workshop and printing factory to Shuofang City to the city.

They also secretly transferred back a cavalry regiment to replace the disciples of the transfer academy, and asked the disciples of the academy to also go to Shuofang City to escape.If the Taiping ship's food is also transported to Sufang City, the silver will not be transported, and the other party must have arranged for people to keep an eye on the bank.

With such a meal arrangement, even if he turned against Yansui Town, he would not be afraid.

In mid-June, the section of the side wall from the Yellow River to Huanzhou was full of wars, and military forts from all over the country reported one after another that they were detained by the Tartars.Wang Zongbing is required to deploy reinforcements to support.

Governor Hu and Zongbing Wang didn't dare to be negligent, even though they knew it was the fault of the Taiping, they still couldn't afford to lose any of the fortresses.For decades, Yansui Town has never lost any military fort. If it was lost in their hands, dismissal would be light.

Within two days, Staff Zhao met with Governor Hu's nephew again, and gave Governor Hu and Zongbing Wang a [-]% share each. I hope that Governor Hu and Zongbing Wang will not be hurt because of the happy cooperation in the wool workshop. amiable.

After listening to his nephew's report, Governor Hu thought that Zhang Zongxian was threatening him, and was very angry, so he called Wang Zongbing of Yansui Town to mobilize his own battalion to teach Zhang Zongxian a lesson.

After all, Wang Zongbing is a battle-tested veteran. He first persuaded Governor Hu not to be impulsive, and then analyzed to Governor Hu that he underestimated Zhang Zongxian last time. All transferred to the side wall.

In order to paralyze Zhang Zongxian, when the time comes, he will send a messenger to contact Tumot's Shunyi King, telling him to attack with all his country. In order to keep the land outside the side wall, Zhang Zongxian will definitely deal with it with all his strength.

When the Tartar army fought against Zhang Zongxian's disciples outside the side wall, they sent troops to retake Qingshuiying and Huangpuchuan Fort.Cut off the retreat of Zhang Zongxian's disciples, even if Lu Bu is alive, they will not be able to recover.

In this way, Zhang Zongxian's wings can be easily removed, and Zhang Zongxian without wings is still up to me.At that time, you can concoct Zhang Zongxian as you want.

After hearing this, Governor Hu's anger disappeared, and instead he chatted with Wang Zongbing about how to divide the spoils.As the so-called high-ranking officials crush people to death, Governor Hu bluntly proposed that he wanted the bank and grain store of the Taiping.The rest belong to Mr. Wang.

Wang Zongbing could only scold his mother in his heart, but he still had a lot of property left.If these properties are taken down, if they are used to raise soldiers, they can raise at least [-] troops. If they also take down the banks and grain stores, it is no problem to raise an army of [-].

The more Wang Zongbing thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. The most indispensable thing on the three sides of Shaanxi was soldiers and men. If he could gather [-] soldiers, what would he do with the arrogance of this civil servant?Direct rebellion, let's try to be an emperor too.

After having this idea, Wang Zongbing looked at Governor Hu in the wrong way.Anyway, the two of them did not contact other generals in order to keep secret, and the plan was to use Governor Hu's standard battalion and Wang Zongbing's pro-army.

When Zhang Zongxian is killed, Governor Hu will also be killed.Anyway, Zhang Zongxian took the blame and took over all the properties. With these properties, and his family guarding Yanshou for generations, his disciples and children are all over the nine sides.

If you really raise the flag to rebel, the success rate is still quite high.After Yanshou Wang Zongbing returned to the Zongbing Mansion, he didn't think about eating and drinking every day, and the imagination of that day was always lingering in his heart.As a family of generals who have received the grace of the country, how could they have such rebellious thoughts.

One day Yanshou Wang Zongbing came to the study room, picked up a book and wanted to read it, to calm down his restless heart, picked it up and took a look, only to find that the book he picked up turned out to be "Ming Taizu Veritable Records".

Is this God's will?Then Zhu Yuanzhang was just a commoner, and he became the emperor anyway.Their royal family has guarded the border for generations, and countless people died in battle, but they still have to be made things difficult by those civil officials. Those civil officials who made meritorious deeds were able to command well, and those who lost were the fault of them, the leading generals.The more he thought about it, the more angry Wang Zongbing finally yelled the outrageous words in his heart: Damn it, this emperor can sit in your old Zhu's house, and so can my old Wang's house.

Wang Zongbing, who had been fascinated by the desire for power, immediately started to act. First, he called his wife and two sons together and expressed his thoughts. Wang Zongbing gave them an analysis, and his wife and children also felt successful. The possibility is very high, and Wang Zongbing has repeatedly emphasized that he will only consider raising the flag to rebel after taking down all of Zhang Zongxian's properties, so that they should not act rashly.

Then he summoned the generals in the family and asked them to prepare their own soldiers and wait for his orders at any time, and they must not disclose them to outsiders.

However, although Wang Zongbing repeatedly emphasized that he would not consider raising the flag to rebel until he got Zhang Zongxian's property.But his youngest son secretly made jade seals, dragon robes, etc. in order to compete with his elder brother so that he could become a prince in the future.He is going to dedicate it to his father when he raises the flag to rebel.

After Zhang Zongxian received the investigation department's report on the mobilization of troops in Yansui Town, he felt that after the governor and the chief soldier took advantage of it, they would not make trouble for the time being.He waited for the news from the capital with peace of mind.

However, during this period, Tartar cavalry continued to cross and penetrate the Hetao to test the deployment of the Legislative Army.Although there are tribes who surrendered in the front, but to prevent those tribes who surrendered from rebelling again, and to prevent the Tartars from destroying the upcoming autumn harvest, Liang Chen, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, proposed to move the four-way forward base a hundred miles north, and Build four forward bases, which can not only intercept the incoming Tartar cavalry, but also leave enough warning time for the rear settlements.

After reporting and agreeing, Liang Chen ordered that two cavalry regiments and two infantry regiments be dispatched from each of the four advance bases, and two advance teams were formed each, and they marched fifty miles northward to establish new advance bases.

Each advance base is composed of a cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment. After the advance base is built, the infantry regiment is responsible for defense, and the cavalry regiment is responsible for sweeping the surrounding area and intercepting the Tartar cavalry.

Among them, the advance team sent by the fourth vanguard stationed in Wuhai was blocked by a large group of Tartar cavalry two days after they set off.

At that time, the fifth cavalry brigade and one regiment plus the fifth regiment of the avant-garde infantry regiment formed a mixed formation of nearly 3000 people.While marching, they suddenly received an early warning from the reconnaissance troops ahead, and then learned that a Tatar cavalry of no less than 5000 men was rushing towards them.

The commander of the advance team quickly ordered the entire advance team to enter a defensive formation. The infantry was divided into horizontal formations to guard the four sides. The horses left by the baggage and infantry regiments were concentrated in the center of the formation. The artillery companies were scattered around the baggage. All scattered between infantry regiments and artillery companies.Because the enemy was discovered earlier, the infantry who had turned into a horizontal line still had time to deploy barbed wire.Such a complete defensive formation is arranged.

When the Tartar cavalry arrived, they found that the opponent had already formed a formation.Instead of attacking directly, they ran far away, and ran around the defensive position of the Legislative Army.

Soon Taiji, the Tartar who led the team, discovered that the Legislative Army was not only smaller than him, but also that there were no archers or pikemen in the army, and all the soldiers were holding firecrackers.This made Taiji, the leader of the team, very excited. Without archers or spearmen, how could they resist the cavalry attack?Just relying on those wooden shelves placed in front of the formation?
Looking back at the tribal warriors he brought with him, all of them were full of fighting spirit. He felt that with the troops in his hands, he could completely eat up the Han army. Then he ordered to concentrate his forces and directly attack the northern defense line of the Han army. He wanted to follow the breeze. In one go, he pierced through the defense line of the Han army.

The commander in the center of the formation was also constantly observing the movements of the Tartars. After realizing that the Tartars wanted to attack the northern formation, he quickly ordered all the artillery companies to concentrate the enemy's troops to attack the front of the troops.Let the cavalry units get ready and ready to attack at any time.

Following the strange cry of the leader Tartar Taiji, the Tartar cavalry gathered in the north began to rush towards the defensive line of the Legislative Army with all their strength.

The artillery that had been redeployed was the first to exert force, and the six explosive shells accurately fell into the Tartar cavalry team. However, due to the craftsmanship and the speed of the Tartar cavalry, it did not cause major damage to the Tartar cavalry.After another salvo, the artillery stopped shooting because of the angle.

At this moment, the Tartars had already charged a hundred meters in front of the defensive line, and the front-line commanders kept shouting to the soldiers:

"Stay steady."

"Stay steady."

"Stay steady."

When the Tartar cavalry crossed the small tower built of white stones, it indicated that the Tartars had entered the effective range of the flintlock guns, and at this moment:
"Fire."

Just let the Tartar cavalry who rushed to the front fall down.

"Reload fast, pull out the cleaning rod, don't blow the cleaning rod out too."

The continuous smoke from the flintlock guns directly covered the first line of positions, and the Tartar cavalry who were not killed in Raoxin directly hit the barbed wire fence, which was fixed on the horses.The horse hit the barbed wire and was directly entangled by the barbed wire. Even if the cavalry on the horse did not fall off, they would be stabbed to death with bayonets.

Just when the Tartar cavalry was blocked in the northern front line, the cavalry who were originally scattered behind the infantry lined up in three formations, and quickly rushed out from the junction of the east and west sides with the northern position, and charged at the Tartar cavalry. The two wings of the army outflanked the past, and the infantry on the east and west sides quickly followed the cavalry, and the infantry left in the south quickly filled the line of defense.

The cavalry who reached the two wings of the Tartars kept driving the outer Tartar cavalry to gather in the middle, while the infantry who reached the two wings fired at the Tartar cavalry who were still attacking.From the blocking of the Tartar impact to the completion of the three-sided attack, the whole process did not exceed 2 minutes.

The Tartar cavalry who were under attack from both sides soon suffered heavy casualties and were routed. The Tartars leading the team gathered the last thousand cavalry and rushed to the infantry on both wings, thinking about defeating the infantry on the left and right wings to save the defeat.

Under the order of the front-line commander, the cavalry on the left and right flanks immediately reversed their formation and went up. One-third of the Tartar cavalry was knocked off their horses in one encounter. With sabers, some cavalrymen still held more than one of these, one at a time at such a short distance.

Taiji, who was led by the Tatars, was directly shot to death by firecrackers, and the remaining Tartars scattered before the cavalry of the Legislative Army turned their horses.

The cavalry commander kept in mind the lessons learned during the exercise, and did not pursue the escaped Tartars, but continued to carry out the original combat mission.
At this time, the commander standing on the vehicle-mounted watchtower noticed that the last strength of the Tartar cavalry had been defeated, and immediately ordered the artillery to switch to shotguns and shoot at close range, and ordered the cavalry to start closing their pockets, trying to wipe out the remaining Tartar cavalry.

After receiving the order, the cavalry quickly closed their pockets, and the Tartars in the encirclement surrendered in less than 10 minutes under siege from all sides.

Although there was no report from the reconnaissance troops that there were Tartar cavalry nearby, the commander ordered a quick sweep just in case, and all the prisoners were executed after disarming them.

The advance team of less than 3000 people in this battle killed more than 3000 Tartar cavalry.More than 2000 war horses were captured.Their own losses were less than a hundred people.

Such results cannot be achieved without daily training and exercises.

The formation used is also a common formation used by the frontier army to fight against the Tartars, except that the archers and spearmen are replaced by line infantry.

Coupled with the Legislative Army and its emphasis on officer training, the proportion of non-commissioned officers in a regiment can reach one-third, so that the defensive counterattack can be completed so smoothly.

After this battle, King Shunyi of Guihua City no longer dared to send a lone army deep into Hetao, which also gave King Shunyi a new understanding of the combat power of the Legislative Army, and he was shaken about whether to attack Hetao after autumn.
