Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

In fact, the minds of the chariot soldiers of the Runing Army who were driving a chariot for the first time were also blank.

Facing tens of thousands of bandits, of course, the chariot driver couldn't have any other thoughts, so he could only rush over at such a high speed.After the chariot soldiers ignited a swarm of bees at the beginning, because no bandits dared to approach the chariot for the rest of the time, they stood on the chariot like a statue with axes and guns in their hands, staring blankly. The chariot showed off.

And this time the time to cross the formation of the bandits was also very short, from the beginning to the end, it only took three or four hundred sucks, but in such a short time, thousands of bandits who didn't run away were run over to death by the chariots , Hacked to death.Some of the gangsters who had their legs chopped off and had their legs cut off were still rolling and howling on the ground. The screams were shocking.

But the thrilling ones were those bandits who were lucky enough to escape, and the chariot soldiers couldn't help cheering after seeing such a great result.Seeing that these chariot soldiers were a little distracted, Zug hurriedly shouted: "Move faster! The front row has changed to the back row, let's clean up those bandits again!"

Hearing Zug's order, the chariot soldiers responded with cheers again, and they also accelerated their movements and quickly turned the direction of the chariot.

The chariot was still accelerating, and it was still a swarm of bees being ignited first, and then one cut in two turned into two cuts and three stages.The bandits in the small coalition were no longer interested in fighting. They were completely terrified by the chariots they had never seen before, and they all spread their legs and fled towards the way they came from - Congling Mountain Pass.

But those bandits didn't see it. After charging again, the chariot turned a corner and retreated towards Longan Village.The two sprints have made the horse a little unbearable, and it is impossible to launch a third charge.

The whole battle was going on very fast, and it was still dark when the bandits from the small coalition camp fled far away.And the Shumo Department also cheered loudly when they saw the easy victory.But when they cleaned up the battlefield, the soldiers couldn't cheer anymore.Because the whole scene is so miserable.

What a meat butchery.Flesh and blood were everywhere, and some bandits who couldn't bear the pain even asked the soldiers of the Runing Army to give them a good time.

The soldiers of the Runing Army were also stunned by the power of the chariots. In just one confrontation, more than 600 rebels were killed by the chariots.

In fact, they didn't know that, as the main arm of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the power of chariots was unparalleled at that time.At that time, to describe the strength of a country, adjectives such as the country of a thousand chariots and the land of ten thousand chariots were also used.

In the end, although the chariot was eliminated due to various reasons, as long as it is used in the right place, the eliminated weapons can also exert great power.And the use of chariots by the Runing Army this time is to give full play to the advantages of the chariots.

Moreover, the Runing Army has also improved its tanks.For example, the installation and use of long-range weapons in a swarm, coupled with the fact that the gangsters of the small alliance have no way to counter the tanks, so this unilateral massacre is doomed.

But the nightmare of the small association is not over yet.When those bandits escaped from the Congling Mountain Pass in despair, they only rested in the field for one night, and in the early morning, they were surrounded and killed by He Fei and Zhou Xun, who had driven back after hearing the news.

Moreover, the semi-encirclement formed by the Runing Army is very ingenious.The opening that was left open was blocked by the coalition forces of Li Lu, Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng who followed.A hammer, a piece of iron felt, the outcome of that small joint venture is doomed.

So wait until the cavalry sent by the Runing Army arrives in Ye County.The whole battle of Nanyang is over.A total of more than 4000 levels of bandit leaders have been obtained.More than 1000 bandits were captured and surrendered.

After the good news spread to the court, the spirits of Emperor Chongzhen and the court ministers who were being battered by the Chexiangxia peasant rebel army were lifted.In order to cover up the failure of the encirclement and suppression of the peasant rebel army, and to cheer up the spirit even more, the imperial court made a lot of publicity about it, and this campaign was also called the Nanyang Victory.

And the "famous general" Li Lu became famous all over the world.Although other military attachés of the Ming army have been spreading good news, but the gold content of those good news is not enough.For some, obtaining hundreds of heads is considered a big victory.

But the "famous general" Li Lu is different. He either does not fight, or he has brilliant victories when he fights.The two battles "commanded" by Li Lu wiped out tens of thousands of bandits.

In addition, Li Lu's excerpts were also passed on to the imperial court. In that memorial, Li Lu clearly stated that the peasant rebel army would feign surrender.Although the memorial is late.It became a bit of an afterthought, but it also showed Li Lu's good vision after all.

Therefore, the reward for Li Lu was quite generous, and he was immediately promoted to the third rank, and was directly promoted to the position of Nanyang Chief Soldier.The rest of the military officers are also rewarded.The only thing that hasn't changed is Wu Shigong. In the eyes of the court, the great victory in Nanyang and Wu Shigong in Runing are completely different.

And Li Lu was also a little overjoyed by his good luck.At the celebration banquet arranged by him to the prefect of Nanyang, Li Lu boasted to the prefect of Nanyang after drinking too much: "Just give me three thousand elites, and I will wipe out the rebellious bandits in the universe!"

After this word reached Wu Shigong's ears, he was a little puzzled, because this word seemed too familiar, as if he had heard it before?Wu Shigong only remembered after struggling to remember, if "elite" was replaced with "urban management", wouldn't the words be familiar?In modern times, I don't always hear the phrase "Just give me three thousand urban management, and I will...!".

And this great victory in Nanyang also made it impossible for any officials to mention Li Lu and Zhou Xun's behavior of returning to Henan without warning.

The governor of Henan, Xuan Mo, also paid attention to Li Lu's letter, which he had thrown into the corner long ago. He immediately sent a letter to transfer the two strong troops, Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng, and was ready to prevent the peasant rebel army from re-entering Henan. .

Although Wu Shigong didn't gain anything in the officialdom, and he was still a white man who had committed crimes and meritorious service, he saw the problem in this longan village crisis, so he immediately made amends.

Wu Shigong immediately decided to build a city wall at Congling Mountain Pass, and wanted to completely control the Longyan Town Basin in the hands of the Runing Army.Moreover, the Runing Army will also relocate some ordnance manufacturing and repair workshops to the Longyanzhai Basin, and arrange heavy troops in the basin. In addition, there are fertile fields in the basin, which can provide part of the army food for the Runing Army.

In other words, Wu Shigong plans to build the Longyan Town Basin into a military base for the Runing Army.Military operations can be launched around at any time.

And all the land in the Longyanzhai Basin was requisitioned by the Runing Army.The Runing Army will acquire these lands by means of redemption.Of course, there must be some landlords who refused to sell, so the Runing Army adopted the method of trusteeship to forcibly requisition.

In the current chaos, the local government of Nanyang Prefecture also supports the actions of the Runing Army.After all, with this military base, Nanyang Fucheng can get support from the Runing Army at any time.

As for all the land in the Longyan Town Basin, the Runing Army will hand it over to Jimin Reclamation Firm for management and operation.This made Chang Meng very excited, because the land reclamation firm he was in charge of finally ushered in the first big business.Moreover, the serfs in Tuntian Villa are all ready-made, that is, the small alliance of bandits who surrendered and captured.

Zhou Xun's return this time also brought back a large amount of supplies and food, which happened to be all used for the resettlement of serfs in the Longanzhai Basin and the construction of Congling Village.

The Runing Army raced against time, and built a wooden village around Congling Mountain Pass with trees in just ten days.Because the actions of the peasant rebel army at this time were erratic, their movements had already made the Runing army a little confused.

After Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other ministries escaped from danger in Hanzhong, they turned around and headed west, and separately attacked the area around Xi'an and the areas around Qingyang, Gongchang, and Pingliang in Gansu, and their prestige was greatly enhanced for a while.

However, Emperor Chongzhen finally ordered Chen Qiyu to be dismissed from his post in November of the seventh year of Chongzhen, and sent to prison for garrison; Hong Chengchou was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and Governor of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Huguang, and Henan Military Affairs.

But just after Hong Chengchou took the position he should have taken long ago, he was hit on the head. The garrison in Xining mutinied, the general was killed, the guard was driven away, and the guarding eunuch also fled in a hurry. (To be continued..)
