Wanli 1592

Chapter 497 Regretful Li Chengliang

When Li Chengliang rushed to the palace with a grunt, the three ministers of the cabinet, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the emperor had been waiting for a long time.

Although Li Chengliang is a military general, his status was not high, but Li Chengliang is now seventy, he can be regarded as a veteran general, no matter what, in China you have an "old" word, and those who are younger than you have to give up three points, it doesn't matter Civilian and military generals, the respect for the elderly advocated by Confucianism is not just for fun.

Everyone present except Zhao Zhigao, no one is older than Li Chengliang, so Li Chengliang can barely put on airs and say that he is old and slow to come, so let everyone not blame him. To be honest, no one can blame him, although Zhu Yijun is indeed He was very anxious, but the veteran was seventy, he couldn't say anything to reprimand him no matter what.

"Li Qing is old and can still contribute to the country. I am very moved. Come, give me a seat! I also give a seat to Mr. Zhao Ge."

Zhu Yijun reluctantly showed Zhao Zhigao a seat for Zhao Zhigao's sake, and the rest of them, stand still!Make me unhappy, dare to stand?

Shen Li and Shen Yiguan looked at each other, but they could only shake their heads and smile wryly.

Zhao Zhigao and Li Chengliang thanked each other, and then put half of their buttocks on Jinduner, and did not dare to sit down. This is a basic skill of people in the officialdom. As long as you are still an official, you must remember that when you face the superior If you don't dare to sit on the seat given by the author, then you don't know how to enjoy it.

Anyway, sitting is better than standing.

"Everyone is here, so I won't say anything else. Just now, Mr. Zhao Ge's opinion is that Wang Shiyang, the governor of Xuanda, will take charge of the military affairs of the four towns of Datong, Taiyuan, Yulin, and Xuanfu, and be responsible for this defensive battle. The Baoyanmen Pass and the Peaceful Pass were not lost, and the war was controlled within Datong Town.

On the other hand, with Li Qing as the main general and Chai Guozhu as the deputy general, the Tongjing battalion was stationed at Zijingguan to support Wang Shiyang. He was mainly responsible for securing Zijingguan and supporting the Shanxi war. The main force, what do you think of it? "

How else can I look at it?

These people can only look at those candidates from the perspective of party struggle, and consider the benefits to their own faction after winning a battle, or the harm to their own faction after losing a battle. Others, as for strategy and tactics...

Has Cheng Zhu ever taught?

There are only Shi Xing and Li Chengliang who are good at military affairs. Shi Xing is still the second swordsman who became a monk halfway.
Abandoning Hetao and half of Shanxi's travel capital Si Ke are all good things done by those well-known civil servants. They feel that the less land they occupy, the less military expenditure they need, and it is not important to fight back. It is enough to ensure that the current land is enough It's too late, and he forcibly regards the ancient military strategists as fools.

Li Chengliang is a veteran in this kind of thing, Zhu Yijun was asking the officials on the surface, but in fact he was just asking Li Chengliang.

Although Li Chengliang didn't dare to show a look of horror, he already felt extremely regretful that he had come to participate in this battle without thinking clearly, and his intestines were green.

My lord, do you think I have lived too long and want me to die quickly?
Your Majesty, you may not know, but everyone here, who doesn't know...

Can those useless soldiers in the Beijing camp really work?
It's okay for the oily people to bully ordinary people, and it's okay to do odd jobs and run errands for officers, but they are required to go to the battlefield to die...

Here it is announced that there are dead parents, dead mothers and wives in their family. This side starts to set off, and the other side starts to desert and escape. Li Chengliang has no clairvoyance and ears, so he can't control so much. I don't know if there are [-] in the [-] troops. A soldier to fight.

No, does the Beijing camp still have [-] soldiers available?

Because the frontier army has been dealing with the Mongols for a long time, it still has some combat effectiveness and some organization, but the Beijing camp...

Can Jingying be used?

Li Chengliang deeply understands the necessity of a well-trained army.

The reason why he was able to make great achievements in Liaodong was not the guards or the Beijing camp, but a Li family army trained by himself, that is, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. The one with only about 3000 people is all members of the Li family, and it is Li Chengliang's private army.

This army is well-trained, strong and powerful, and when fighting, it is the most daring and most capable army in the middle and late Ming Dynasty except for Qi Jiguang's troops. It is also the weakest Ming army in the general impression of people today It's quite different, the fighting power of this Ming army can be described as fierce.

Just because they are Li Chengliang's private soldiers, Li Chengliang is not indifferent to this army. They enjoy the delicious food, drink, useful, and fun, and the rest of the Ming court's soldiers and horses can only be raised by stepmothers. , this army enjoying the glory and wealth is also grateful for Li Chengliang's kindness, and always strives to be the first in every battle.

Therefore, there are traces that the Liaodong soldiers looked down on the armies of other places, just like tigers look down on sheep. They think that the armies in other places are sheep, and only they are tigers.

In fact, this was indeed the case. It was not until Xiao Ruxun led troops south to Korea to conquer Japan that the generals and soldiers of the Liaodong Army had a drastic change in their attitude towards other armies, especially the Southern Army and the Ningxia Firearms Battalion.

Only then did they realize that the armies in other places are capable of fighting, and their scalps tingled when they thought of the overwhelming guns and artillery.

But in terms of combat effectiveness, this Liaodong iron cavalry is still one of the most powerful troops in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he is a general's private soldier, he still has the imprint of the Ming Dynasty on his body, and he is fierce and powerful in battle.

After Li Chengliang resigned, Li Rusong took over the Liaodong cavalry, increased investment and training on the basis of Li Chengliang, and trained this family army even more fiercely.

Since the three years of the Korean War, there has not been even a single incident of voluntary invasion in Liaodong. On the contrary, Li Rusong, unable to bear the loneliness, often leads troops out to fight and train troops. Many Mongolian and Jurchen tribes are frightened to stay away from Liaodong. They are not there. lived.

It is precisely because of the existence of this army that Li Chengliang and Li Rusong and his sons can continue the glory of the Li family. It would also be uncomfortable, let alone the Beijing camp that was rotten from the root.

Even if you give him some of Jizhen's troops, he won't say that, but Jingying...

Abandoned military equipment is just four words, but when it really appears in front of your eyes, it is a shocking tragedy.
