Daming wolf ride

Updated: 2012-10-05

Zu Dashou promised Shi Dayong a general. Of course Shi Dayong knew what kind of official this general was.In fact, the ranks of generals at the end of the Ming Dynasty were extremely chaotic, with border guards and guards mixed together, and official names were numerous and varied. If one was not familiar with military affairs, most of them would not be able to tell them apart.

The so-called frontier soldiers refer to the army of the nine border towns, and the guards are the guards (thousand households, hundred households) stationed in the two capitals and eighteen provinces.

Since the founding of the country by Taizu Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty established the military household system of the guards, even the important towns on the nine borders.The military attaches in the guards are generally composed of Du Commander, Du Commander Tongzhi, Du Commander Qianshi, Experience Division, Dushi, Zhenfu Division, Thousand Households, Hundred Households, General Banner, etc.

However, since Jiajing, the guards were abandoned, and seven or eight out of ten military households could not use them.Therefore, the imperial court reorganized a new army and organized it under the new army system, such as Qi's army in Zhejiang and Li Chengliang in Liaodong were all products of the new army system. [

The military attachés of the new army are organized into admirals, chief soldiers, deputy generals (deputy chief soldiers), generals, guerrillas, capital divisions, garrison officers, chief generals, and chief generals.There are slight differences in different places, such as Xuanda, Guyuan and other towns have officers such as team management, defense, and integrity.Among them, the highest military admiral only has an editorial staff in the Beijing camp, but none of the towns on the nine sides.

During the reign of Chongzhen, the army of Ming Dynasty was composed of frontier soldiers, guards and Beijing battalion.To put it bluntly, the soldiers here were recruited with money and dared to sacrifice their lives; while the guards were military households for generations, half-farmers who did not take money, and had no combat effectiveness; The ground, waiting for leisure is not moving.In other words, the Beijing Camp is actually only on the air, but it is actually not good at the inside.

Therefore, whether it is fighting against the Mongols or building slaves in Manchuria, frontier soldiers are the main ones.Among the three families, the soldiers here are the most effective.

In this time and space without Shi Dayong, there were refugees everywhere, and the guards in various places in Ming Dynasty were vulnerable. As a last resort, Chongzhen urgently dispatched frontier soldiers to suppress them, but the peasant army fled away.There are often scenes where more than a thousand cavalry smash tens of thousands of peasant troops. This is actually the difference between a professional soldier and a half-way monk.But when it comes to those Manchurian soldiers who are half-savages, the iron cavalry is unbearable. It is really puzzling that ten thousand people are often chased away by thousands of others.

What happened to Ming's army?

The equipment is better than others, the food is more than others, the money is also spent a lot, and the military strength is dozens of times that of others. There are all kinds of fortified cities and cannons, but the battles are useless.

Is barbarism really conquered by the law of civilization?

Shi Dayong often thought about this question when he first arrived, and he was very puzzled, but after this bloody battle, he finally believed that there was only one reason for the failure of the Ming army——bloody!

How can an army that lacks blood can defeat those barbarians.

The best way to defeat savagery is to be more savage than they are!

This is not a retrogression of history, not going against the flow of history, but a change that brings order out of chaos and painstaking experience!

Only when barbarism is eliminated, civilization will truly come!

…………

Participating generals are second only to chief soldiers and deputy generals in the frontier military system. They are divided into various places and are senior generals who can stand alone.

Shi Dayong's current Songshan garrison is the fifth rank, and if he wants to be promoted to a general, he has to go through three hurdles: the fourth rank, the fourth rank, and the third rank.Now Zu Dashou has saved his rank as a general with a single sentence, and he has been promoted to three ranks in a row.

Of course, this favor did not fall from the world out of thin air. If it weren't for the heads of the more than 100 Mongolian Tartars and the more than 80 Man Tartars, no matter how much Zu Dashou favored Shi Dayong, it would be impossible for him to break the rules and connect him all at once. Promote him to three levels.Even if he is willing, the Ministry of War will not!

Merit is always the main factor in determining promotion.

The big masters of the Ministry of War can't rub the sand in their eyes, so he doesn't care who you are recommending, without real military exploits, there is no way to get promoted!

What's more, this is purely an exchange of benefits. Shi Dayong doesn't think how he should accept Zu Dashou's affection, and he is grateful to the striker.Instead, the resentment never abated. [

In fact, if it was the original owner of the body, Shi Dayong would probably only rejoice in getting promoted and making a fortune now, and he would not think about those soldiers who died in battle.But Zhou Chu is a descendant, he has never been on a battlefield, and has seen dead people. This battle is the first battle he has come to this time and space, and it is also the time he has seen the most dead people in his life.He couldn't help but be shocked by it, couldn't help crying for it.

Human hearts are made of flesh, and gamblers are human beings, and they all know the pain of life and death.

Put heart to heart, try to exchange each other's identities with those dead souls, and you will feel pain, real heartache.

In this world, who doesn’t have parents, wives and children, who doesn’t want to be filial, and who doesn’t want to watch their children grow up with their own eyes?

Given the choice, no one wants to die.

…………

The search for the corpses has generally been completed. There are about [-] corpses that cannot be identified, and the rest of the dead soldiers have been properly settled.

The lime allocated by Zu Dashou has already been used, and every carriage is covered with thick lime.Some Liaodong army followers in the city were deeply moved when they heard that the Songshan garrison was going to transport the bodies of these fallen soldiers back to their homeland.They offered suggestions one after another, saying that some medicinal materials should be put in to completely ensure that the corpse does not rot.After several doctors were introduced to Shi Dayong, Shi Dayong listened to their opinions one by one, and asked He Kegang, Zu Dashou's deputy, to ask for some medicinal materials.He Kegang agreed without hesitation, and asked someone to carry it immediately.

For this, Shi Dayong thanked him repeatedly. After sending He Kegang away, he suddenly felt a little strange. He felt that the name of Deputy General He was so familiar. He must have heard it somewhere.But for a while, he couldn't remember where he heard He Kegang's name, just in time Huang An and Shao Wu came to report, saying that the brothers' corpses had been disposed of, and they should leave immediately, so they let the matter go.

It's Shen time (from [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. in later generations), if you set off now, you will definitely not be able to make it to Jinzhou after dark, and you probably have to rest at Jiming Station.

There were quite a few wounded soldiers, even though He Kegang sent some doctors over, they still couldn't take care of them.Several reporters reported to the general manager that some brothers might not survive tonight if they did not get medical treatment quickly.

It seems that we must rush to Jinzhou immediately, otherwise dozens of lives will be added.

Shi Dayong gritted his teeth and ordered to clean up and set off immediately.

After the order to prepare for departure was issued, the surviving soldiers acted as coachmen under the leadership of General Ba, or as coachmen in the front, or as assistants in the back.

After everything was ready, Shi Dayong, surrounded by his subordinates, walked to the front cart, took the whip from the soldier who acted as the driver without a word, and threw it into the air.

There was a "beep", crisp and loud.

"Brothers, we're home!"

"Brothers, we're home!"

"Brothers, we're home!"

A sound of shouting, a sound of crying.

The wheels rolled slowly, leaving marks on the bloody ground.

The carriage full of corpses rolled slowly towards the south, towards their hometown. [

The paper money all over the sky is scattered by the wind.

Woohoo, that's the cry of the dead.

…………

"My lord, let's go too."

After the convoy set off, Shi Dayong didn't leave, but stayed where he was on his horse, watching his subordinates heading south.

Guo Yi didn't know why the lord guard didn't leave, so he came over with Li Ji, the only surviving soldier among the fifty soldiers.

Not far from them, there were piles of dead bodies, which belonged to Jiannu.Their heads have been choked off with lime.After the Songshan army left, the peasants would bury the bodies of these slaves to prevent the outbreak of the plague.

Hearing Guo Yi's voice, Shi Dayong nodded and said to him: "No busy, just wait."

"What are you waiting for?" Guo Yi was puzzled, following Shi Dayong's gaze, it was Dalinghe City.

Just as Shi Dayong wanted to say that he was waiting for the "old, weak and disabled soldiers" that Zu Dashou promised to allocate to him, he saw a group of cavalry in bright armor galloping out of the gate of the city.Filed out, running towards him mightily.

"Here, here we come."

Shi Dayong smiled, Zu Dashou is not deceiving, what he gave was definitely not old and weak soldiers, but five hundred Liaodong cavalry.

Five hundred Liaodong iron cavalry rushed to Shi Dayong's eyes like a whirlwind, and the formation was completed in an instant.Looking at its formation, it is no worse than Jiang Wanli's cavalry battalion.After all, they are of the same lineage, no matter whether it is the Liaodong cavalry under the command of Zu Dashou or the command of Man Gui back then, there is not much difference, the same tiger and tiger are full of power.

It's a pity that behind the bright armor, there is a lack of a brave heart.

At the front of the team, two members Qianzong rode out and stopped at a distance of three zhang from Shi Dayong. The two held hands together on the horse, gave a military salute, and praised:

"The last generals Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong have a meeting with Mr. Shi!"

Shi Dayong raised his hand and said: "You two don't need to be too polite!" He looked at the cavalry behind the two of them, and the more he looked, the happier he was.

Xia Desheng reined in his mount, and the mount slowly ran forward for a few steps, and said in a loud voice: "The two last generals and the [-] cavalry under their command are now obeying the order of the ancestor commander, and will be assigned to Songshan's garrison tent from today, please review it! "

"Great kindness from Zushuai, Shi will never forget it!"

Shi Dayong said sincerely, no matter what Zu Dashou's generosity is for, he always accepts this love.As for whether Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong can be used by him, that is a matter in the future. Now, he is eager to inspect his cavalry.

The horse's belly was clamped between his legs, and the mount immediately rushed forward, leaped to the front of the team and galloped past, Shi Dayong reined in the saddle, his sharp eyes slowly swept across the faces of the five hundred cavalrymen, and he only said One sentence:

"From now on, you are all soldiers of my Shi Dayong. I can't guarantee you anything else, but I can guarantee one thing - if you die, I will also return your corpses to your hometowns and send them to you. In the hands of relatives!"
