Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Facts have proved that gold shines everywhere. Shi Wanshan suppressed the hatred in his heart, and began to help the bandits expand the Great Influence with their heart. At the same time, he also learned to blend in and learn some of the advantages of these people. Slowly, he learned martial arts together with the bandits. After working hard, he had a good ability. Then he used his knowledge to take the bandits to clear some nearby bandits one after another, level them, and finally It took more than ten years to develop himself to a very powerful level, and he himself has a high reputation in the bandit den.

At this time, Shi Wanshan is no longer suppressing himself. For many years, the seeds of hatred finally broke out. He brought some cronies to kill the leader of the bandit den, that is, he killed his family and folks at the time. Those bad guys, then he took the first class and went down the mountain, took the initiative to plead with the nearby Yamen, and told his own life experience and over the years that he had to do something to avenge him.

The bandit who caused the local government’s headaches was so obsessed that the old nest was taken away. The official Lord at the time received a lot of gold and silver from Shi Wanshan and reported the matter. It was given to the His Imperial Majesty Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen at the time. Under the joy of Long Yan, Shi Wanshan transformed from a bandit into an official body, and then developed step by step in the army. In the end, he just relied on the gold and silver accumulated when he was a bandit to open the way, coupled with the good ability to rise up.

As soon as the Tumubao incident came out, Shi Wanshan keenly seized this opportunity. He not only strongly supported Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu in action, but also used gold and silver to clear the way and finally contacted the Court Eunuch Jin. Ying expressed her admiration. In the end, he became the commander of the Wan All Division, a dignified Second Rank military attache.

Shi Wanshan’s family history is a bit bizarre and complicated, but he is capable of literary and military skills, and is generous in his shots. He quickly gained a foothold, not only has a high position in the military, but also It also enjoys a great reputation among the civil officials. After all, he was born as a scholar, and his father is also a scholar. From a certain point of view, he can be regarded as a scholarly disciple. He has tolerated revenge for many years. This is in line with Confucianism. Such a person is more vulnerable than other military generals. The trust of civil servants.

It is also because of Shi Wanshan’s strong means. During his more than a year as the Wanquandu Division, in the surrounding areas of the Xuanfu where he guards, the appearance of Mongolian cavalry is rarely found. Only one time A’mu Wangulang brought troops to attack, and was easily beaten back by him, which established his reputation.

Only three 15 years old, able to achieve such a glorious achievement, Shi Wanshan is naturally overjoyed in his heart. He usually smiles on his face, and is called amiable by his subordinates. . But in the past few days, the smile on his face was obviously much less, and more was replaced by a kind of worry.

Answer the news that Lucheng was conquered has passed. This means that what he will face next will not be the Tatar cavalry, but the mercenary army that is very troublesome.

Shi Wanshan has naturally heard about mercenaries. It was precisely because of the emergence of this army that the Northern Ming regime was brought to the fore and allowed it to regain its vitality. Although Shi Wanshan not at all participated in the defense of the capital, he still understood the matter clearly from the mouths of many people. Regarding the firearms used by mercenaries and the extremely strong military qualities of the hired army soldiers, He has always been very optimistic and somewhat fearful.

The mercenaries have been tossing around Southern Ming before, and I heard that they have recovered two small countries. Although Shi Wanshan is also concerned about these things, he feels some pressure not at all because of the distance. But now, the mercenary is right in front of him, and it’s not that he can avoid it without thinking.

In the residence of the commanding envoy of Xuanfu City, Shi Wanshan sent two deputies, both commanding Tongzhi Furukawa (from the Second Rank military commander) and the commander Ning Wenfeng (正Third) Rank military commander), the three of them had a drink in a side hall.

Using Shi Wanshan’s means, it didn’t take long for these two deputies to acknowledge allegiance to him. They were obedient to what he said. Therefore, when the three got together, they didn’t care about etiquette. This is why we meet in the side hall instead of in the main hall.

“You all know the situation. Let me tell you what you think.” He stretched out his right hand and tapped the jade stone table lightly. Shi Wanshan’s eyes were on the two of Niguhe and Ning Wenfeng. His face passed.

“What else? Duke of Zhongdan is the emperor’s canonization after all. They laid down the city of Dalu, which is equivalent to helping us lay down the city of Dalu, and sent someone to visit the city to manage the city. Come here.” The conductor Tongzhi Furukawa said in a loud voice, very casually.

“No.” When his words were over, the conductor Ning Wenfeng immediately waved his hand.

the name speaks for itself, Ning Wenfeng is not like an ordinary military commander, but has a literati elegant face, even without knowing his position, few people will compare him with one The famous generals are connected, but in fact his immediate kung fu is very good.

This is also a person who is capable of writing and martial arts. In order to subdue this person for his own use, Shi Wanshan took a lot of effort for his own sake, at least more than when he reported to Furukawa.

Because of the great effort, it is enough to prove that this person’s ability is strong. Now when he heard him say no, Shi Wanshan raised his brows slightly, and an appreciative smile flashed in his eyes, obviously he already knew what the other party meant.

It was Furukawa who asked with a stern look, “No? Why not? Could it be that Duke of Zhongdan still dared to defy the will of the Imperial Court? He is great, and he dares to fight with us Northern Ming. Is it clear to confront?”

A sentence of clear confrontation has proved that Furukawa has seen through the mystery. This is not a fool. I think that too, if you are a dumb person, how can you become a military attaché from Second Rank, and how can Shi Wanshan spend the energy to subdue it?

“hehe.” Facing Furukawa’s doubts, Ning Wenfeng laughed. Knowing the opponent’s temperament, he knew that they weren’t aiming at him, but on the matter, and then continued: “Answer to the location of Geography in Lucheng is very important, just like our Xuanfu, it can be regarded as the entry of Mongolian cavalry. I am one of Northern Ming’s portals. With them, we only need to keep an eye on the movement to stabilize the overall situation. This is the main reason why we haven’t answered Lucheng for so long. Otherwise, there are only ten thousand people defending. It’s just a city. When I think it’s hard to gnaw at the bones?”

Ning Wenfeng has a arrogant face when speaking of this sentence. It can be seen that he is also an arrogant person. I did not respond to Lucheng before, considering the importance of the opponent’s position. Once he got through there, he would face more attacks and harassment from the Mongol cavalry, which was not worth it. Instead of taking down a city that is not at all, it’s better to put it under your eyelids, and it will be more secure.

Ning Wenfeng’s words have been nodded by Shi Wanshan and Furukawa. Obviously, the three people have the same opinions on this matter. Next, Ning Wenfeng continued: “Now it’s alright. The mercenaries take action and take Alu City down. Then give them to them. With them in front, we can sit back and relax and do what we want. Didn’t the commander speak to the Imperial Court before, saying that it’s to form and train a new army? Although the folder was not at all, we didn’t get a response, but we didn’t have much strength, it was just a test. I think it can be increased now. This strength, considering the actual operation.”

Ning Wenfeng’s words can be said to break the current situation at once. What he said and thought are very consistent with Shi Wanshan, which also attracted this The commander laughed heartily for a while, “Yes, the style of writing is very true. If someone guards the gate for us, we can free up our hands and do more things. Well, let’s do more. The memorial, and then greeted some important officials in the Imperial Court. The time for the new army to train should be here.”

In the Xuanfu, they discussed a countermeasure, and they adopted the same In response to ever-changing strategies, watch the situation develop with a smile. I want to use the mercenary army to guard the gate of Dalu City for them, while vigorously developing and strengthening myself. But what they never expected was that in their eyes, they should answer Lu City firmly, and the mercenaries who digested the fruits would brave the heavy snow and come to Xuanfu City.

Of course, there are not a lot of mercenaries here, and there are only a few hundred people who are fully paid. But even among these hundreds of people, there is the Great Ming Duke of Zhongdan, which is no small matter. Shi Wanshan, who was reading in the study, was taken aback when he heard that his subordinates reported that Duke of Zhongdan had come to the city to call the door in person. He quickly put on his armor, called the soldiers, and went out of the house to the gate tower.

As he rushed all the way to the gate tower, Shi Wanshan still looked puzzled. He couldn’t understand it. The Duke of Zhongdan who had taken the city of Dalu did not digest the fruits of victory there. , To strengthen the city defense there, why did he come to Xuanfu, what exactly is he doing?

Shi Wanshan didn’t know that the so-called digestion fruit, in the eyes of others, might be a long process, but in the eyes of Yang Chendong, who had been prepared, it was just a matter of a few words. . He only needs to send all the people in the city who want to leave and the captured Tatar soldiers to Sicheng behind.

The road from Dalu City to Sicheng has been cleaned by Lu Zhuo of the Second Cavalry Regiment and the three new regiments to ensure the transportation of personnel and materials. With this premise, the seven 800 Miles journey can’t be considered. As for the city of Talu, the soldiers in the two battalions can maintain normal operations. You must know that it is winter at this time, not a good time for combat, and no one will answer Lucheng’s idea easily.
