Daming Military Empire

Chapter 44
It was the number one scholar and promotion again and again, Shi Kefa was a little overwhelmed with excitement no matter how resolute his character was, but fortunately Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were still normal, they quickly dragged Shi Kefa to the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you for your kindness."

Zhu Cijiong nodded in satisfaction, and said kindly: "Get up, everyone will be your own from now on, so don't be so cautious."

The three hurriedly got up with gratitude, and Zhu Cijiong signaled Cao Huachun with his eyes to show the gun beside him to everyone, and then explained: "This is a new type of musket, called a flintlock gun, which is ignited by striking a flint. , no matchlock is needed, and the range is two hundred paces. I think all the imperial guards will be equipped with this new type of musket in the future. You can help General Qin to study the tactics of the new gun. I have an example here, which is called three-stage shooting. Look at it Let's see."

After all, Zhu Cijiong signaled Cao Huachun to distribute the three-stage shooting tactics prepared on the desk to everyone. In fact, he drew a schematic diagram on a piece of paper and then explained it.This is the standard tactics given by the system when Zhu Cijiong played in the military world. It probably means to arrange the soldiers in three rows of square formations. Reload, then the rear row, then the front row, and back and forth in turn.

Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing the performance of this flintlock gun. Looking at Zhu Cijiong's description of the three-stage shooting tactics, they all blushed with excitement. With such a sharp gun, as long as the corresponding tactics are developed Isn't the Ming army invincible!
Zhu Cijiong is also very excited. The mass production of flintlock guns has finally begun, and the era of hot weapons is coming.Daming has already taken a step ahead in terms of weapons, and with the five generals in front of him, there is hope for Daming's revival!
One advantage of traveling to ancient times is that you are familiar with the deeds of historical celebrities, so you don't have to worry about misjudging people. Although Lu Xiangsheng and the others are unknown now, they are all famous fighters in the history books of later generations.

Needless to say Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming, although they are only in their twenties now, they have already been on the battlefield for a long time. When Lu Guang suppressed the bandits, they led hundreds of routs against tens of thousands of rebels, and finally got out of the battle. .Later, he followed Qin Liangyu to the king of Jingqin, fought against the Qing army, and then fought against the king. Zhang Xianzhong ran away with his head in his arms. There are countless heroic deeds.

Although Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Shi Kefa are still civil servants, they are all fierce and fierce people behind them.

The first fierce man, Lu Xiangsheng, named Jiandou, was born in Yixing County, Changzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili Province. He was born in the 28th year of Wanli (AD 1600) and was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi (AD 1622).Although he is a literati from the south of the Yangtze River, he is extremely talented and skilled in martial arts. What is even more rare is that he can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and charge forward together.

He is good at commanding, and the soldiers are willing to work hard for him. There are historical records: "In the army, there is no salary for three days, and there is no water for the elephant, so he won the hearts of the soldiers and made great achievements in battle."

He is also good at training soldiers, and the "Tianxiong Army", one of the three elites in the late Ming Dynasty, came from him.He is also good at surprise attacks, and often wins with thousands of soldiers fighting 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of bandits.

How fierce is this fierce man?You can get a little idea from a record in the historical materials:
Every time the elephant rises to the battle, he takes the lead and fights with the bandit. He doesn't care about the blade or the saddle. When he loses his horse, he fights on foot. Chasing the bandit on the cliff. Fight against illness.

The thieves were frightened away, and they warned each other: "Lu Xiangsheng will die when he meets him, and he is inviolable!"

The second fierce man, Sun Chuanting, named Boya, was born in Wuwei, Daizhou Town. He was born in the 21st year of Wanli (AD 1593), and was a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli (AD 1619).A man of talent, a man of strategy.This fierce man is also a generation of illustrious military exploits, and the peasant uprising army was almost destroyed in his hands:
For example, the leader of the peasant army, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, wanted to attack Xi'an from Hanzhong.Sun Chuanting led the Qin army to guard, but Gao Yingxiang was unable to conquer it, so he intended to enter from Ziwu Valley and approach Xi'an.According to Sun Chuanting's prediction, Gao Yingxiang was defeated after four days of fierce fighting in Heishui Valley in Ziwu Valley, and was captured and sent to Beijing to be executed.

Another example is Li Zicheng, the successor leader of the Peasant Army. Sun Chuanting commanded the Fifth Route Army to intercept the first battle in southern Shaanxi. He deployed ambush tactics to repel the troops of Ma Jinzhong and Ma Guangyu who rushed to help the Shaanxi uprising army. , Li Zicheng's army was almost wiped out, and Li Zicheng broke through with only 18 cavalry.

So far, the rebel army in Shaanxi was almost suppressed, and the Ming army was in a good situation. Unfortunately, the Qing army invaded the Great Wall at this time. Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly sent Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting back to Beijing for defense, and Li Zicheng got a respite.

Sun Chuanting's military achievements can be said to be a rare trump card in Chongzhen's hands. Therefore, "History of Ming Dynasty" has a saying that "the death of Chuanting means the death of the Ming Dynasty".

As for the last fierce man, not to mention Shi Kefa, the champion of the new division, who guarded the lonely city alone and died for the country with his own body. He is a well-deserved national hero.

As for those who say that Shi Kefa is incompetent in command and incompetent in command, that is all nonsense.Can an incompetent person be a minister of the Ministry of War and a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts?Are the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the Nanming emperors all idiots?
Every time the Huaxia nation is bullied by foreign races, it is not because of the incompetence of the generals. The main reason is that there are a bunch of shameless people who are greedy for wealth, beauty and knees, and have no bones.

The most shameless thing about this group of people is not that they surrendered to a foreign race and became traitors, but what they did after becoming traitors. The shameless traitors of all dynasties have one thing in common, that is, they all like to reverse black and white, confuse the public, In their mouths:

It is inexplicable to serve the country with loyalty, Yue Fei's death is inexplicable, Lu Xiangsheng's death is inexplicable, Sun Chuanting's death is inexplicable, and Shi Kefa's death is also inexplicable.They just want to make people mistakenly think that those who serve the country loyally will end up badly in the end, and only Meiyan bends her knees and becomes a traitor to enjoy all the glory and wealth!How well Hong Chengchou surrendered, the great official of the frontier, how well Wu Sangui surrendered, King Pingxi!Those shameless people also found him an excuse of 'being angry at the crown and becoming a concubine'. Pooh.

In short, when the country is about to perish, there will be some shameless beasts. These people refresh the lower limit of the word shameless again and again. In their minds, there is no country, no nation, and no lower limit. They are selfish and shameless. .
When I think of those traitors and running dogs, I get angry. Don't talk about it. If you talk too much, something will happen.

Continue above.

In short, Lu Xiangsheng and the other five are fierce men who are not afraid of death. They sacrificed their lives for the country and were extremely generous.

Although these people died in battle in the hands of Chongzhen, they are no longer Chongzhen, but Chongzheng.

What Zhu Cijiong likes is that they serve the country loyally, without complaint or regret. Like Hong Chengchou, Zuo Liangyu, and Wu Sangui, who serve the country and pay conditions, and surrender if there is any trouble, let them go to hell.

Suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, and the biggest shortcoming of Emperor Chongzhen is that he is suspicious. His vision is not bad, and the people he likes are all very talented, but once they make some achievements, he starts to doubt and reject them. , causing these people to die in the end.

Of course Zhu Cijiong will not do this, he has already made up his mind to train these five people with all his strength. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Han has the "Five Tiger Generals" who have been famous for thousands of years. Since then, Ming has also had the "Five Tiger Generals", and these five people will definitely be famous in the world!
