Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 740 There is Only One Commander in the Army
Everyone is talking about it, and the army is still going out of the fortress.

During the day, all the ceremonies and etiquette were done in a noisy manner, and the army passed the tiger's gate, and it was already dark, so they had to set up camp on the spot.

It took less than three hours to leave, and the luggage that had just been packed had to be erected according to the regulations. If ordinary people were to do this, they would really feel irritated.

The Huwei army felt very used to it. It was the same in the exercises and training, and they gradually got used to it after the few actual battles. The guards surrounded Wang Tong and went to a high place on the side, looking at the busy army in the afterglow of the setting sun. .

"The governor's face was all black, and he hid in the camp over there in Ji Town early. It's useless!"

Li Hutou said something disgusting immediately, and spit on the ground, Wang Tong shook his head and said with a smile:

"The rules of our Ming Dynasty, civil servants in chief, military generals lead troops, supervise the army, in Datong, he, Mei Wenjin, has the highest rank among civil officials, of course he has to follow, but the days of peace have passed for a long time, and he is at the gate of the New Year again. , of course he doesn't want to come out and suffer, but there is a difference between the top and the bottom, so don't be rude, so as not to cause trouble!"

The people around agreed, and Tan Bing, who was beside Wang Tong, looked at Ji Zhen and said in a deep voice:
"My lord, when I was with my lord, I went to Ji Town many times to observe soldiers. Now this army is probably the most elite!"

Li Hu looked in Tan Bing's direction, nodded and said:
"I didn't expect that the soldiers and horses in Ji Town would use chariots as a formation. The soldiers are the same as our Huwei army, and they all follow the rules!"

Tan Jiang and the others all laughed, and Wang Tong also said with a smile:

"The car battalion of our Tiger Mighty Army has borrowed a lot from Mr. Qi's method of using vans, and you still say that you can do it. Isn't this reverse of cause and effect!!"

Everyone laughed out loud, Li Hutou coughed a few times, but couldn't hold back the embarrassment after all, he said "I'll go down and see them set up camp", and ran down on horseback, and everyone didn't stop him.

Wang Tong didn't look at the Huwei army, but stared at the camp of Jizhen. The camp of Jizhen was in the north, and the camp of Huwei army was in the south. Looking at the regulations, it was actually the soldiers and horses of Jizhen who guarded the Huwei army. Immediately pondered for a while, and said:
"General Tan, the next time we set up camp, the Huwei army and Jizhen will have each other's horns. Don't be like this today. Although they have [-] people, our firepower is not inferior to Jizhen. Camping like this will make Jizhen even more powerful. The general has a careless mind!"

General Tan agreed, and Wang Tong looked at Jizhen and continued:

"Why did we use Ji Town's soldiers and horses this time? Just now Tan Bing said it well. They have been training for many years and have reached the strongest level. If they don't use them, they will go downhill next time.

After saying this, the atmosphere was a bit dull, Wang Tong shook the reins, ran towards the camp, and said while running:

"The cavalry in Datong Town, let them be stationed together with the cavalry in Ji Town, break up the mix, strictly enforce the military law, and kill those who don't obey!!"

***********
It was getting dark and the grassland was extremely cold, but because of the topography of the grassland in the north of Datong, that is, the foothills between Guihua City and Datong Border Town, there was not much wind.

In Wang Tong's handsome tent, there is a charcoal fire burning in a three-foot-caliber large copper basin. The charcoal fire is bright red, and it is only when it is completely burned outside that it is moved in. Such a big handsome tent, this charcoal basin is extremely warm. .

The generals of the Huwei Army all had dinner and were discussing in low voices in the military tent, while Yang Jin also led the six battalion commander Qian and the cavalry commander Qian Zong into.

The military system of Jizhen is slightly different from that of other places in Ming Dynasty. It has a team of 3000 people, a commander of [-] people, a battalion of [-] people, and a commander of [-] people. On the side of the Huwei Army, there are battalion officers and battalion deputy. So the group here is almost at the same level as the Qian boss over there.

Then again, although there are 3000 people in charge of Jizhen Town and 600 people in charge of Huwei Legion, there is a difference between Border Town and the Forbidden Army, not to mention that Li Hutou, Tan Bing and others were appointed officials by Emperor Wanli himself. , this status is far higher than that.

Wang Tong noticed that when the generals in Ji Town walked into the camp, most of them frowned when they saw the charcoal basin. Wang Tong could probably imagine the reason, maybe they felt that Wang Tong was a bit extravagant.

During the march, the loads of men and horses are limited, and the things they carry must be related to the battle. The charcoal basin, the solid wood desk, the felt underneath, and even the teapots and cups on the table, I feel that this is not a battle. It's like going on a trip, at least you use copper, iron or wooden cups to drink water in battle, but here it's made of fine porcelain, it's ridiculous.

Qi Wu dispatched troops in the past, and Qi Jiguang had already made arrangements. The soldiers and horses in Jizhen also knew the purpose of this line of work, and they were all prepared for a big battle. It's awkward, young high-ranking official, I don't know what you think of fighting.

"Everyone, please sit down!"

Wang Tong smiled and stretched out his hand to beg, and the dozens of generals in Ji Town all sat down after saluting, what they thought was different, but Wang Tong belonged to the faction and blocked the Tartar army outside Gubeikou , and caused great damage to the Tartar army, everyone in Ji Town knows that it is very simple to distinguish between warriors, and whoever has more brilliant results in battle is enough for Wang Tong to lower their stance.

"Now that the army is leaving the fortress, it is about to leave the land of the Ming Dynasty. Our army is divided into three divisions. One is the Imperial Army Huwei Army, the other is the soldiers and horses of Jizhen, and the other is the cavalry of Datong. Each has orders and commanders. If there are military orders, they will be conveyed differently. , It will inevitably delay the military aircraft, and even cause a catastrophe. Since I have been ordered by the emperor to be the governor of Datong, to oversee the matter of suppressing bandits and resisting the captives, all armies should follow my appointment to lead. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections?"

After everyone sat down, Wang Tong said these words solemnly. This is a matter of course, but in all the marches and battles of the Ming Dynasty, there were soldiers and horses everywhere who could not compete with each other. There is no way to fully implement the order, or even a bad example that cannot be implemented. Naturally, the result is that the army is defeated and there is no good end.

Although Wang Tong has the status of imperial envoy and the official position of governor, he is young and inexperienced, and those generals who have fought for many years may not be convinced.

Every time a large army went to battle, the civil servants who commanded the army often kept the matter vague, ignored the conflicts and contradictions below, and even tried to mediate in the middle and subdue in private, but Wang Tong didn't handle it like this, and brought it up directly.

Li Hutou and Tan Bing all got up and bowed down, and said:
"The military order is like a mountain, I dare not ignore it, but follow the commander's order."

Leading the various armies outside, Wang Tong has the status of governor and imperial envoy, and he is indeed worthy of the title of commander. However, Yang Jin, the deputy general of Ji Town who guards the West Road, turned his head and exchanged glances with the generals, and looked at him again. Looking at Qi Wu who was bowing beside Wang Tong, he also bowed down and said:
"But according to the command of the commander-in-chief!"

The [-] cavalry in Datong Town were led by a guerrilla named Ma Yong, who used to be a soldier of the Ma family, and now he still called Ma Dong the young master and Ma Fang the master.

He bowed down earlier than Li Hutou and the others. Before Ma Yong came, he had listened to Ma Dong's orders, and what Ma Dong said was true:
"I'm no better than my second brother. I'm afraid I don't have a big future in the future. I'm afraid it's the same for you and me. But now I have an opportunity. Mr. Wang is not unusual. As long as we can follow Mr. Wang, we will not worry about it in the future." You can use these personal guards, Mr. Wang, as you want, don’t feel bad, don’t be afraid of death, as long as Mr. Wang treats us as his own family, everything will be easy to talk about in the future!!"

The two sons of Ma Fang, Marshal of the Xuan Mansion, Ma Lin Su said he has the talent of a general, and he is currently serving as the deputy commander in Liao Town. Only then did he take advantage of the opportunity to climb up. Both of them were the deputy commanders of the border town, but the gold content was quite different.

There are two thousand soldiers in the Ma family, and Ma Fang distributes them to his two sons. The people below all think that following Ma Lin to Liao Town is prosperous, and following Ma Dong to Datong is unlucky. When Ma Dong said such words, Ma Yong was naturally I know it well.

The generals in the tent all paid homage to each other, Wang Tong and Cai Nan who was sitting next to him looked at each other and nodded, Wang Tong said with a smile again:

"Now we can still see the side wall. When we set up camp tomorrow, we will be alone outside the fortress. The enemy's land is full of dangers. We can only return triumphantly if we are united as one."

While talking, let everyone sit down again, and introduced the generals of Ji Town, Huwei Army and Datong Town to each other, Wang Tong said:
"I am the chief general, and Yang Jin is the deputy general. The troops in Jizhen are ordered by me, and Yang Jin conveys them. The Huwei Army and the cavalry teams are under the direct control of this official. Bronze medals and banners will be issued to all places later, and they will be implemented immediately. !"

It was just now that Wang Tong's position as the commander-in-chief was clarified. This arrangement is also reasonable. Everyone bowed to their orders. Zhang Lei, the general manager of the Ji Town Horse Team, was a short and strong man in his 40s, with a calm expression. He was also the leader of the horse team, Ma Sanbiao. Sitting just across from him, Zhang Lei couldn't bear it.

Because although Ma Sanbiao is a grown man, and he was discussing with the army, he looked listless and even yawned twice. Thinking about his impressions when he came in, this Huwei army was too frivolous. Such a person, such a general, can fight any tough battles, thanks to Marshal Qi still pinning his hopes on them.

"On the grassland, there are as many scouts and sentries as there are on the grasslands. I'm afraid it's even more so on the side of Shahukou. From tonight, everything will be compared to the war. The battalions will arrange sentries for the night. Don't ignore them. The scouts approached and killed all they could."

This is a well-regulated arrangement. When everyone quit and Yang Jin stayed behind, Wang Tong was silent for a while, and said:
"Vice General Yang, the army's logistics will be left to you for protection!"

　At the beginning of the month, insist on asking for a monthly ticket, thank you "ipooo, Hao Shisheng" book friend for your reward, thank you everyone
