Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Where is Mr. Lin? He has been away for more than ten days, why hasn't he come back?" Liu Guoneng asked, wandering back and forth in the big tent, looking restless.

Jin Xiong's mouth squirmed a few times, but he still didn't speak.Lin Yufei's departure this time was after repeatedly urging Liu Guoneng to send troops without success, and he also took away the dozen or so contacts of the Runing Army brought by Lin Yufei.And when he was leaving, Lin Yufei also said: "You can do it yourself!" Isn't the meaning clear enough?

"Has the person sent to Huanggang come back?" Liu Guoneng asked again.

"The last batch hasn't returned yet." Jin Xiong replied cautiously.

After Jiaoji Town set off from Xinyang, it marched very fast and arrived at Huanggang within three days.But after arriving in Huanggang, they stood still and stared at Liu Guoneng's back like needles.It really made Liu Guoneng feel like he was sitting on pins and needles!

Liu Guoneng had already sent three batches of messengers to Huanggang to contact them, but the Runing army there would not accept any salutes or words, at most they would say: "Got it!" and drove the messengers out.This made Liu Guoneng's heart more and more uncertain, and he felt like he was about to be guillotined.

At this moment, the captain of Liu Guoneng's personal army rushed into the big tent, and he yelled, "I'm back! I'm back! Your Majesty! Eighth Lord! The people who went to Huanggang are back!" The captain of the personal army was Liu Guoneng's confidant, of course he knows what Liu Guoneng is worried about these days, so whenever there is news, he rushes to report to Liu Guoneng.

"Call him in!" Jin Xiong hurriedly ordered.

The courier was about to kneel down and salute when he entered the account. Liu Guoneng waved his hand impatiently and asked, "Don't be so rude, tell me quickly, is there any news from Zongbing Wu?". [

The messenger hesitated for a moment, then replied: "The young one met a General Xue this time. He told the young one that he wanted to send the old lady and the king's family back, and also said...and said..."

"What else are you talking about?" Liu Guoneng shouted sharply.

"Also said let us do whatever we want!"

"Grass!" Liu Guoneng kicked over the big case in the big tent with one kick, "clang clang", the things on the big case were scattered all over the floor.

Liu Guoneng's eyes were already red with anger, and he yelled: "Then what does Butcher Wu want to do? He really wants to do something to us? But we have always listened to him! If Wu Zongbing hadn't been imprisoned by the court... , Alas——!" As he spoke, Liu Guoneng's anger turned into grievance, and he limp on the chair with all his strength, almost crying.

Liu Guoneng knew very well in his heart that if he really asked for his family.Not only is it impossible to succeed, but it is very likely that the family will be sent to the road of Yanwang. Even if Wu Shigong kept his word and really sent the family here, would he dare to ask for it?

Don't say that your army will immediately be stabbed in the back of the Runing Army in Huanggang.Let's just talk about those big and small leaders whose family members are still in the hands of the Runing Army.They may immediately cut off their own heads to claim credit.Isn't this suicidal?

"If I had known this was the case, then I wouldn't have let Mr. Lin go." Jin Xiong muttered beside him.In Jin Xiong's view.It's good to hold hostages like Lin Yufei in your hands.

"No!" Liu Guoneng had calmed down by this time.His psychological quality is indeed top-notch, and he was able to calm down quickly, "Everything can't be done absolutely, it's better to keep some incense."

"Then what should we do?" Jin Xiong asked.

Liu Guoneng regained his energy. He waved his hand to make the idlers retreat, leaned over and whispered to Jin Xiong: "Old Ba! You just have to work hard. Go find General Xue again. Just tell him: I We absolutely dare not disobey the order. It's just that the officials in front of us are powerful, and we have been fighting fiercely for days, so we are at a stalemate here."

"But will they believe it?".Jin Xiong was puzzled.

"Believe it or not! Anyway, we knocked our heads on the ground. You just tell him: If you don't believe it, then we will leave the team. We all go to them. Anyway, life and death are casual, so let them believe it." .”

Liu Guoneng could only play tricks, and he had already figured it out: The reason why the Runing Army went to Huanggang to stand still, instead of directly killing them, was to give himself a chance.Moreover, one's own head is not worth money, but one's own troops are valuable. If he abandons the team and surrenders directly to the Runing Army, then his troops will definitely disperse, which is not in the interests of the Runing Army.

Liu Guoneng wanted to make this kind of gesture, and he stretched out his face to let Butcher Wu beat him. If Butcher Wu didn't want to do everything wrong, he would definitely hold his hands high. [

"Also, after you leave, I will immediately lead the troops to fight against Hanshan's official dog. There is no need to save strength, let's make a gesture for Mr. Wu to see! Don't go empty-handed, bring a hundred horses With horses and a hundred sets of armor, Mr. Wu is a good soldier, and we have to do what he likes! Alas!" After finishing speaking, Liu Guoneng still let out a long sigh.

"But...but we managed to get those horses and armors. If they were given to Mr. Wu, we would have less here." Jin Xiong was a little anxious.

After defeating the Nanjing Jingying this time, Liu Guoneng's Ministry captured a lot, but no matter how many they captured, they did not have as many troops as their own.Besides, during times of war, horses and armor are the most valuable, and sometimes there is no place to buy them if they have money, so Jin Xiong is extremely reluctant.

"We are going to be sold to Mr. Wu, don't you want some horses and armor? Go!" Liu Guoneng was extremely helpless.

"But what did the Eight Great Kings and Cao Cao say?" Jin Xiong asked again.

After the coalition forces of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai came to Anqing, they immediately contacted Liu Guoneng, wanting to join forces and commit crimes together.If possible, it is best to take down a few big cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and then you can make a lot of money.

But Liu Guoneng was unwilling.Although he was somewhat half-hearted towards Wu Shigong, he didn't want to rebel again, so Liu Guoneng declined Zhang and Luo's invitation.So Zhang and Luo decided to settle for the next best thing, and they proposed to exchange excess supplies.

Because of the great victory, Liu Guoneng had no shortage of military supplies, but he stayed in Wei County for too long, sitting and eating, and was detained by the Runing Army for supplies, so there was not enough food.

On the other hand, the Zhang and Luo coalition forces took down several big cities along the way, and there was no shortage of food and other supplies, but there was a shortage of military supplies.So Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai wanted to communicate with each other.

Liu Guoneng thought about it for a while, and then said: "Send them horses and armors, too! You can't cut off the incense. But be careful, arrange some proper people, and don't let it out."

At the beginning of August in the tenth year of Chongzhen, Liu Guoneng once again led his army to take the initiative to attack the Ming army in Hanshan and Hexian.After exchanging a batch of materials, the Zhang and Luo coalition forces crossed the Yangtze River, passed through Tongling and Kenanling, and invaded Wuhu.

In front of Zhang and Luo's coalition forces, Lu Jiude and Liu Yuanbin led more than 1 troops from the Yongwei Battalion to join Liu Liangzuo, with a combined force of 7000 troops. Under the command of Lu Jiude, they stopped Zhang and Luo's coalition forces. East offender.Behind Zhang and Luo's coalition forces, Zuo Liangyu's [-] troops were also chasing after him.The Runing Army in Huanggang, Zhu Dadian's Department in Fengyang, and the Ming Army in Nanjing are all temporarily watching from the sidelines.Thus, the Wuhu melee began.

Huang Degong held the water sac in his hand and drank a burst of cattle. The water sac was filled with spirits, almost as large as a bucket.But Huang Degong drank it all in one gulp, and then smashed the empty water bag to the ground.

"Little calves, learn a little bit, and see how grandpa fights!" After Huang Degong finished speaking, he rushed out first, and nearly a thousand Ming soldiers behind him, either riding horses or galloping, also followed Huang Degong. go up.

After Lu Jiude left with the Yongwei Battalion, Huang Degong left only a thousand frontier soldiers in his early years, plus Huang Degong's personal soldiers, there were only [-] soldiers who had seen blood and were able to fight.And the rest of the [-] Ming troops left behind were all the Nanjing Jingying, which had nothing to show for it.

Therefore, Huang Degong is also very grateful to Liu Guoneng for staying still, which gave him time to practice those rookies.But as soon as he practiced, Huang Degong almost vomited blood, because Huang Degong found depressingly: whether it is personal combat skills or overall tactics, Nanjing Jingying is no worse than the frontier army at all, and even better in some places.

So Huang Degong had nothing to do with these brightly dressed dung balls.This combat skill can be practiced, but that courage cannot be practiced!After thinking for a long time, Huang Degong could only use the level difference to stimulate these soldiers.

Huang Degong selected [-] better soldiers from the Nanjing Jingying, and then mixed them with the frontier army, drilled strictly every day, but also served them with good wine and meat, just to use them Bring the old with the new, and train a core team as soon as possible.

Although the rest of the soldiers are full, they are just a rough meal.Although they also have to practice, the intensity of the practice has dropped a lot.

But it's not that Huang Degong is playing narrow-minded, it's just that the supply of the Ming army did encounter difficulties, and Huang Degong was forced to adopt this method.

When the river was divided into two battlefields, the supply of the Ming army's rear must have a tendency, and the eunuch guarding Nanjing-Lu Jiude always took advantage of it.

And Huang Degong is illiterate, has a bad temper, and looks like Qiu Ba.But he was a rare general in the Ming army with strict military discipline.Therefore, the troops he led did not disturb the people at all, so there was nothing to expropriate on the spot. Therefore, all his supplies were supplied from the rear.

But in any case, because relying on Jiangnan, it is still possible to eat enough, but how good does it have to be?That is also impossible.So Huang Degong can only guarantee those elites.

After Huang Degong drilled those soldiers roughly, the Liu Guoneng Department, which had not moved for a long time, began to act, so Huang Degong immediately led troops to intercept, and the prologue of the Wuhu Melee started from Hanshan and Hexian in Jiangbei. (to be continued...)
