Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 320 IX Beheading Soldiers

It is said that the Ming army did a lot of beheading.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, meritorious deeds were recorded with heads. According to historical records, the Qin army carried heads with their arms and ran like tigers and wolves.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, human heads were of course still a form of military merit, but in order to avoid harming Tianhe on the battlefield, head counting was no longer the only and the first. Especially in the Song Dynasty, there were many ways to record merit, and beheading was only one type of military merit.

In the Ming Dynasty, after Yashan, China retreated in an all-round way, and the method of military merit was also the same. Beheading became the most important and direct method of recording merit. [

Two illustrations are provided.

Li Chengliang from Liaodong and Qi Jiguang from Jizhen.

In terms of tactics, tactics and strategy, Qi Jiguang beat Li Chengliang by several blocks, the gap was huge, and he was not an opponent of the same level.However, Qi Jiguang guarded Jibei for ten years, repaired the city wall, practiced car camps, built hollow enemy towers, and built beacon towers. The achievements of the ten years were to make the enemy have no chance to exploit, except for one or two small-scale battles at the beginning. , Jibei has no more beacons to speak of.

Subduing others without fighting is nothing more than this!

But the Ming Dynasty counted meritorious service by beheading, and the commander-in-chief would have no military merit without beheading.

Li Chengliang of Liaodong's tactics used cavalry raids and beheading tactics to harass people's heart. Li Chengliang was still conferred the title of earl under the general environment that all fell into the hands of civil officials. From Jiajing to Wanli Tianqi and the early Chongzhen period, Li Chengliang was the only general who was conferred with military merit.

This is the beauty of beheading.

Beheading is so important, the Ming army has so many records of killing good men, beheading innocent people, and even killing women as bandits, it is not a problem at all.

But under the city wall in front of them, these beheaded soldiers had happy smiles on their faces, their laughter and laughter shook the sky, and they waved their hands to cut off their heads without any hesitation. The style of joy and cruelty was perfectly integrated. , it really made everyone in the city terrified...

What kind of army can do these things in such a vigorous manner, proudly, and so happily?

"The teacher of the tiger wolf... the teacher of the tiger wolf."

"But I wish I had more teachers like tigers and wolves."

The two good friends also lay on the city wall and watched for a long time. From the beginning of chasing and beheading the Mongolian cavalry, then fighting in formation on both sides, and then cleaning the battlefield and guarding against the remnants of the enemy. The officers and soldiers of the Fushan Camp did these things in an orderly manner. When Li Xin saw Fushan soldiers decapitating slightly injured Han soldiers with braids, he saw that the head and neck were chopped off with lumps of flesh and blood, and then he chopped off the head one after another before stopping. Weaving the heads together, each sword soldier hangs at least five or six, and at most a dozen or so heads on his waist. There must be a lot of beheadings this time.

From the time the warning came, all the intellectuals in Jinan were worried about the city.Yang Sichang and his like seem to be old and high-ranking officials in the temple, but they are often blinded by one leaf, and it is difficult to see the truth. Moreover, these high-ranking officials are stubborn and can't listen and see well, let alone regard other people's opinions as hostility , Such an imperial court will make Jinan, an important town, almost fall.
