The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 655 Emergency Military Situation

Soon, heavy cavalry, hussars, and lancers also passed through the field in order.

They can be regarded as the arm that has changed the least recently, except that the lancers were issued with breastplate armor and a self-defense spring wheel gun, and because a large number of Jianlu war horses were captured, the mounts were stronger than before.

After the cavalry, two infantry "phalanxes" followed.As soon as these people appeared in sight, Li Dingguo frowned.

I saw that although the soldiers of the two teams were wearing standard dark green Dragon Guard uniforms, their weapons were in disorder, including muskets, bows, and crossbows.What's worse, apart from the high spirits of the leading officers, the soldiers are all slanted and sloppy. The front team can barely gather together, while the rear team walks crookedly, like a group of people caught in a flood. The ants in the flooded nest even stepped on each other's feet a few times, and the team almost collapsed.

Li Dingguo couldn't help but asked Deng Shan again in a low voice, "My lord, this...is a recruit?"

Deng Shan rolled his eyes at him, "The recruits of the Polu camp dared to be so virtuous, and they had already been driven home a hundred times, let alone the Dragon Guards." He lowered his voice and shook his head. , "These are Korean soldiers. For some reason, His Majesty insisted on taking them into battle... Although the Ming army officer was changed to command, the mud still cannot support the wall."

After all the refereeing teams passed by the viewing platform, they came to the west side of the camp and waited in line.

Yu Xin ran a few steps, and saluted in front of Zhu Linmi: "Your Majesty, the entire battalion has been reorganized."

Zhu Linmei nodded and got off the viewing platform, got on her horse, and walked westward surrounded by the main generals of the field army.After walking a few steps, he turned his head and told Zhang Jiayu: "After the military parade is over, call all the generals of the general staff to discuss matters in the handsome camp."

"Yes!"

When Zhu Linmi came to the west of the barracks, she stopped her horse and began to walk slowly in front of the phalanx formed by Ming soldiers.

Every time he came to a phalanx, he would smile and turn sideways, wave his hand, and say, "Hello, soldiers!"

The officers and soldiers in front of him immediately responded in unison, "Long live my emperor!"

"The soldiers have worked hard!"

"Be loyal to Daming!"

This set of greeting rituals commonly used in military parades seems nothing new in later generations, but it was the first time for the soldiers of the Ming army.Tianzi Yujia walked in front of him, and greeted him so intimately, this is an honor that can be boasted for a lifetime!All the soldiers were engrossed and excited, and their morale soared to the sky.

After the inspection was over, Zhu Lin circled her horse and returned to the front of the queue, solemnly glanced at all the soldiers present, raised her breath vigorously, and said loudly: "Soldiers, we are about to usher in the most important moment for Daming!"

There was no sound in the entire camp, and his lingering sound echoed in the air, drifting into the distance.

He turned back and looked north, and continued: "The Duoduo army is in Yangzhou, and if you go further north, you will be in Beijing! Two years have passed, and we have never been closer to recovering the entire Ming Dynasty than today!"
"We will send our troops to the north, retake Yangzhou, Shandong, and Beijing, and go to Liaodong, let these thieves who trampled on our Daming land, killed our Chinese people, and robbed our people's money and food, pay the blood price for their crimes!
"For this Northern Expedition, I will lead the imperial conquest. Together with all the soldiers, I will use the sword and blunderbuss in my hand to leave fear and trembling to the Tartars, so that they will remember from generation to generation. Those who offend our great Ming will be punished without mercy!"

All the officers and soldiers of the Ming army present put all their energy into their bodies, and roared loudly, "Kill!"

After finishing the pre-war mobilization, Zhu Linmi immediately went to the main tent of the Chinese army.The main officers of the Dragon Guard Army and the Polu Camp were summoned by Zhang Jiayu, and they also quickly gathered towards the Shuai Camp.

Zhu Linmi had just entered the military tent, when she saw two unfamiliar faces among the officers standing in the front row on the left, she turned to Zhang Jiayu and asked, "Who are these two?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, commanders of the Swift Battalion, who just arrived in Jiangning yesterday."

The two hurried forward and stood at attention to salute, "Long live my emperor."

Zhu Linmi took a closer look and saw that the two had changed into brand new black military uniforms with buttons. achievement."

"Yes! I will live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"

After a while, all the dozens of officers had arrived, Zhu Linmi came to the head, waited for all the generals to salute, nodded and said: "This time I urgently invite everyone to come here to discuss matters, because the military situation in Jiangbei has changed."

He looked at the crowd and said in a serious tone: "According to Beizhen's secret report, Dorgon dispatched Qing troops from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Lu, and Beizhili to gather in Yangzhou. At present, Duoduo has more than 15 troops in his hands. , but increased rapidly to [-] or more!"
