The Most Powerful Man in the World
Page 212
In the military camp, when Wang Shouren placed boxes and boxes of gold and silver in front of the soldiers, those soldiers who were blinded by gold and silver could not help but widen their eyes, staring at the boxes and boxes. Gold and silver.
At this moment, Wang Yangming stood on top of a box, pointed at the tens of thousands of silver lines under his feet and shouted: "Soldiers, King Ning rebels, and it is the disaster for the party. As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, we should serve the emperor and do our best to quell the rebels. Today This official promises again that all the soldiers who go on expedition with this official will get [-] taels of silver to settle their families, and if they kill one rebel, they will receive [-] taels of silver. The soldiers are willing to believe in Wang!”
Look at Wang Shouren, and then look at the pile of gold and silver that dazzled people's eyes, tens of thousands of taels of silver are really shocking.
I was stunned for a while, but after I reacted, I heard a group of soldiers cheering loudly.
When soldiers eat food, since they choose to be soldiers, they naturally have the consciousness of dying in battle. In the past, even military pay was deducted, so naturally they had no interest in fighting for their lives.
But this time was different. Wang Yangming made a promise with Bai Huahua's money directly, and many people couldn't help but feel hot.
Killing one enemy is a reward of fifty taels of silver. If you can kill more than a dozen people, wouldn't it be dozens or hundreds of taels of silver?
Thinking of this, many arrogant and brave soldiers couldn't help but become short of breath.
At the same time, Wang Yangming said: "All those whose names were named, all stepped forward to get the money!"
Thousands of soldiers lined up in ten columns, and then Wang Yangming personally supervised it. Soon the two thousand soldiers who were chosen by him to go out of the city to face the rebels each got [-] taels of silver.
On the other side are more than a thousand soldiers who stayed in the city, looking at those soldiers who got silver with envious eyes.
But when Wang Yangming saw this, he smiled slightly and said, "The soldiers left behind, each with two taels of silver!"
After reacting, those soldiers couldn't help but cheer loudly: "Sir Wan Victory, Master Wan Victory!"
After setting up everything in the barracks, Wang Yangming got on his horse and said solemnly, "All the officers and men will go out of the city with their officials to fight against the officials!"
The momentum of the [-] men and horses was not small at all, and they streamed past the long street like a torrent, causing many people in the city to be amazed.
The news of King Ning's rebellion had already spread in the city. As the saying goes, he would rather be a dog of peace than be a rioter. Even the common people knew that once a war broke out, it was the people at the bottom who would suffer forever.
For King Ning who rebelled, both Jiangnan gentry and powerful people all praised him, but the people at the bottom had no good feelings for King Ning, and regarded him as a chaotic thief.
After all, Daming's rule for more than a hundred years has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if King Ning is a vassal king, in the eyes of the people at the bottom, if King Ning rebels, he is a rebel.
"I hope the imperial court soldiers can quell the rebellion of King Ning, and let me wait for peace!"
"Master Wang is famous all over Jiangnan, and he will definitely be able to quell the rebellion!"
Chen Tai and others watched Wang Shouren lead the army out of the city. As the thick city gate slowly closed, Chen Tai and others went up to the city tower and watched Wang Shouren lead the army to disappear from a distance.
King Ning's rebels, Zhou Boling, rushed all the way, but along the way, they did not forget to send troops to loot grain and property.
Zhou Boling was born from a bandit, even if he took refuge with King Ning and was named General Zhaowu by King Ning, it would not change the bandit spirit in his bones.
In addition, King Ning did not restrain his generals' actions of looting grain, which made his generals even more arrogant and bold.
It can be said that where King Ning's rebels passed, apart from the homes of the tyrannical gentry and the powerful, the homes of ordinary people were not lightly harmed.
If you are lucky, your property will be robbed. If you are unlucky, if you resist a little bit, you will be beaten, and even if you lose your life, you will have nowhere to complain.
All the way through, it can be said that there is a lot of grievances, and people's grievances are boiling.
There are tens of thousands of people, boundless and boundless. Among the smoke and dust in the sky, tens of thousands of troops slowly rushed towards Ji'an County.
The Zhaowu general Zhou Boling, who was firmly in the army, was on a huge carriage. This carriage was given to him by a nobleman. After getting this carriage, Zhou Boling rarely got off the carriage.
This carriage was really too comfortable, half the size of a house, and it was extremely ornately decorated. The most important thing was that he took several beauties that his men robbed by his side, and he accompanies these beauties in the carriage every day. children play.
A fast horse came, and it was the scout horse sent by the rebels.
"General, there is a small river blocking the road ahead!"
In the carriage, Zhou Boling was raising his head from the arms of a beautiful woman, and said with a bit of impatience: "Isn't it just a small river, is it possible that there are not many bridges, just cross the river!"
The horseman hesitated: "But General, according to our investigation, the only two bridges within a radius of several miles have been destroyed."
Zhou Boling couldn't help but said angrily: "Then build a bridge for me, a small river that I have never even heard of, can it still stop the general's footsteps and pass on the general's military orders, in the evening, be sure to arrive under the Ji'an county seat. , At night, this general will stay overnight in Ji'an County!"
Zhou Boling's generals were quickly communicated, and the vanguard army quickly mobilized troops to build the destroyed Xiao Xiao.
As Zhou Boling said, it's just a small river, and the water depth is only as deep as one person's depth.
Soon the rebels slowly began to cross the river.
About a mile away, Wang Yangming put down his bow and arrow, and saw three rebel guards fall off their horses and die.
Wang Wu couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sir, God shoot!"
Wang Yangming looked at the group of men and horses who were crouching in the grass behind him. Not far in front of him was a dark crowd of rebels who were busy crossing the river.
[The third one is sent, ask for a monthly ticket, give a reward, oh oh oh! 】
Chapter 17 Chapter 1 One general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies [[-] more]
It has to be said that Zhou Boling had no initial vigilance after these few days of smooth sailing, and even the sentries were just sent out casually.In his opinion, the imperial troops and horses are simply vulnerable. After so long, he has not even encountered a major battle, and his tense nerves have already relaxed.
An armored general frowned as he looked at the chaos in front of the people who were busy building bridges and preparing to cross the river.
Miao Qi's background is not bad, and his ancestors even had a general, but later the family fell into the middle, and the family was in decline, that is, to be a squire in the townships.
However, Miao Qi himself was quite self-motivated, he practiced the family tradition and read a few military books. However, as the only son of the family, the old man of the Miao family was naturally reluctant to let his only son enter the army.
This time, when King Ning raised an army, many local squires chose to support King Ning whether they were forced or fooled.
The Miao family also stood on the side of King Ning, and Miao Qi also chose to join the army at this time. The old man of the Miao family couldn't stop him, so he had to spend a lot of effort and gave Zhou Boling thousands of taels of silver, so that Miao Qi was in the army. In the army, he got the post of a colonel, and he commanded hundreds of people.
At this moment, Miao Qi came running on the carriage. Hearing the extravagant sound from the carriage, Miao Qi couldn't help frowning and said, "General, the last general, Miao Qi, asks to see you!"
In the carriage, Zhou Boling, who was disturbed by the good things, could not help frowning, and said with a bit of displeasure: "Miao Qi, is there something wrong?"
Miao Qi took a deep breath and said: "General, the last general is worried that when crossing the river at this time, will Wang Shouren, Chen Tai and others suddenly come out and give us a half-crossing attack, the art of war is clear..."
As for Miao Qi, Zhou Boling didn't like it very much. Miao Qi's background was not bad, while Zhou Boling was from a bandit. If he hadn't joined King Ning early, he wouldn't have the status he has today.
The most important thing is that Miao Qi has pointed out that there is a problem with his army more than once in the past few days, and even persuaded himself to restrain his subordinates.This made Zhou Boling very unhappy.
He made a name for himself on the road back then, didn't he relied on condoning the plundering of his subordinates to win over people's hearts to secure the top spot?
From Zhou Boling's point of view, there was no difference at all when he led his brothers to fight when he was in the mountains.
As long as he can feed these subordinates, then it will naturally be beneficial.
The smooth sailing these days has also made Zhou Boling more and more convinced of his own ideas. As for Miao Qi's admonition to him several times, he would always mention the art of war, which naturally made Zhou Boling's head big, but also very much to Miao Qi. disgust.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Miao family was a local squire and had friendships with many lords who had taken refuge with King Ning, he would have long thought of a way to kill Miao Qi.
Is he the general of this army, or is this Miao Qi, a school captain in the district, even wants to explain some truth to General Zhaowu, who was personally named by his dignified prince.
Zhou Boling snorted coldly: "What is it, I only know that I have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under my command, can Wang Shouren and Chen Tai's men pull out [-] troops? You don't want to tell me. , I can't beat the mere [-] people with [-] people."
Miao Qi couldn't help but said: "But the general should know that in the history books, there are many people who win more with less. If Wang Shouren and the others really make a move, our army will definitely be defeated by then, as the saying goes. When the army is defeated like a mountain, once the army is defeated and the morale of the army is broken, even if there is an army of [-] people, it may be chased and killed by thousands of people..."
"enough!"
He only heard Zhou Boling roar, and then saw Zhou Boling lift the curtain of the carriage, revealing a figure in only a middle coat, staring at Miao Qi with big eyes and shouting: "Miao Qi, you are actually messing with our army. , could it be that the general did not dare to kill you?"
Miao Qi's expression changed, he gritted his teeth, and insisted: "General, the last general's words come from the bottom of my heart..."
"Come here, let this general take down this man who disturbed the military's heart, and hit [-] major boards. If he commits another crime, he will be beheaded and displayed to the public!"
Immediately, the personal soldiers who were on the side of the carriage immediately stepped forward to capture Miao Qi, dragged him aside, and then began to torture with the cane in the eyes of many people in astonishment!
At this moment, Zhou Boling had no interest in being disturbed by Miao Qi, and with a bit of hesitation, he got out of the carriage and looked into the distance. At this moment, the small bridge had been built, and he could cross the river at any time.
The vanguard general came quickly, jumped down and said to Zhou Boling: "General Qi, the bridge has been erected, and you can cross the river at any time!"
Glancing at Miao Qi indifferently, Zhou Boling waved his hand and said, "Let's pass the general's order, and cross the river immediately!"
While speaking, Zhou Boling said to Miao Qi: "Miao Qi, this general will let you take a look, whether it is your technique of warfare or this general's way of commanding the army that is powerful!"
After receiving the order, Zhou Boling's troops began to slowly cross the river.
It is not a matter of time and a half for an army of tens of thousands to cross the river. Although there are not many horses, and the first to cross the river are some infantry, but looking at the speed, I am afraid that at most two or three thousand people can cross the river in one hour.
Zhou Boling just watched hundreds of people cross the river and then returned to the carriage. Judging by him, it might have to wait until evening when everyone crossed the river. He only sent orders to urge his generals to cross the river quickly. In Ji'an County.
Back in the carriage, Zhou Boling had no interest in taking care of the rest.
At this moment, in a field of grass about a mile away, after Wang Shouren shot and killed several sentries, Wang Shouren was worried that the shooting of several sentries would alarm the rebels.
After all, if the sentry does not return for a long time, as long as the commander is a little bit vigilant, he will definitely realize that there are ambushes around.
This is what Wang Shouren is worried about. Don't look at him full of confidence when he leaves the city, but after all, Wang Shouren is the first time to command the army, and he actually has no confidence in his heart.
After all, the gap between the strengths of the two sides is too great. The rebels are at least [-] people, but his available soldiers are only [-].
But the only good thing is that the soldiers and horses under Wang Shouren are all born in the military, even if they are not elite, they are still in the military. .
The men under Zhou Boling were even more complicated. There were many bandits, gangsters, and even some young men who joined them for various reasons. Seen as a mob.
Wang Wu was lying on the side, looking at the rebels slowly crossing the river in the distance and couldn't help swallowing: "Sir, these people have already started to cross the river, when are we going to attack!"
Wang Yangming just glanced at it, and then said lightly: "No hurry, there are only thousands of people crossing the river now, and when there are more people crossing the river, I will wait to kill the generals and go out, keep the world fixed in the battle, and destroy Zhou Boling. People and horses."
Wang Wu's eyes flickered with excitement and said: "This week, Boying is really a general under King Ning, and he doesn't even have the slightest alertness. They deserve to be ambushed by adults."
Wang Shouren smiled slightly, shook his head slowly and said, "It's not that he is not alert, but that arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated. Zhou Boling must have been much more cautious when he first started his army than now, but it's a pity that the speed of expansion is too fast. After a few days, he had gotten carried away, he didn't take the imperial troops and horses in his eyes at all!"
The speed of the rebels crossing the river was a little faster under the urging of the generals, big and small. Almost an hour later, there were as many as four or five thousand people crossing the river, accounting for about half of the army.
By this time, Wang Yangming had already led his men to lie down in the grass for about three hours.
Even if they were lying there, they were not tired, but they didn't dare to make any big moves, and these soldiers were still very suffocated.
Seeing a smile on the corner of Wang Yangming's mouth, he nodded at Wang Wu, and soon several horses were pulled out of the pit.
At the same time, the two thousand soldiers who received the order also excitedly clenched the swords in their hands and stood up.
Wang Shouren got on his horse, like Wang Wu and several hundred households mounted one after another, and then several flags were erected, and then Wang Yangming drew his sword and shouted in a deep voice: "All officers and men, follow this official to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and kill the traitor Zhou Boling. , the official is promoted to the third level, and the reward is a thousand taels of silver!"
Then the two thousand soldiers shouted in unison, followed closely behind Wang Yangming, and rushed towards the rebels who were slow and unprepared in the distance.
The movement here was so big, it naturally alerted the rebels.
The distance is only a few hundred meters. If you run fast, it actually only takes a few minutes. The rebels suddenly saw the smoke billowing in the distance, and the screams of killing went straight to them. The thought is that they were ambushed.
The rebels, which were already in a mess, suddenly became even more chaotic, and even stampeded due to the panic.
If it is said that the army is extremely strict, he may be able to stabilize the morale of the army. Even if it is not able to stabilize most of the people, at least some of the troops can still be stabilized. In this way, there is still some possibility to solve the crisis.
However, the first reaction of Zhou Boling's rabble when they encountered an ambush was to run around like headless flies, trying to escape.
After all, the black and dark imperial soldiers and horses that rolled up the sky were still very impactful to these rebels.
Not to mention those young men who just dropped their hoes, those mountain bandits who were innately terrified of officers and soldiers also had the first thought when they saw the officers and soldiers, that they should run away.
[The first one is sent, ask for a monthly pass, and give a reward for support. 】
