I'm really not the carpenter emperor

His appearance, which is completely opposite to the way everyone self-reports his family and wishes to read all the merits of his ancestors and himself, has attracted Zhu Xieyuan's attention.

Now, there are very few generals who speak the truth.

His ancestors were poor peasants, and both his parents died since childhood. This kind of background caused the generals to burst into laughter, but Zhu Xieyuan took a deep look at this general soldier.

With such a background, the current position as the general of the Jizhou Army proves that this Wang Wei really earned his position by himself.

Zhu Xieyuan took a look, and found that Wang Wei's eyes were shining, and he seemed to be radiant, and his steps were steady and powerful.

All of a sudden, I admired him in my heart.

Just as he was about to ask something, Jiang Rang, the general soldier of Yulin, felt upset when he saw Zhu Xieyuan kept looking at Wang Wei, so he interrupted and said:

"Superintendent, this Wang Wei was originally unable to be the commander-in-chief."

"Last year, he built a shrine for Wei Zhongxian in Jizhou, and it is said that he also visited the important military officials in the capital, and that's why he was promoted."

"He's not a good guy, he can do everything."

After Zhu Xieyuan heard this, his impression of Wang Wei was indeed reduced a lot. He was born as a literati, so no matter what, he would not be able to deal with the eunuchs.

But he didn't say anything, and raised his hand to signal to continue.

Jiang Rang and Jiang Bi looked at each other, returned to the queue and continued to sneer, and even more sneered at Wang Wei, mocking him in a low voice as a little eunuch.

After hearing the news, one person came out.

This is a veteran over [-] years old, he tried his best to straighten his body, and said:

"The last general, Xiao Ruxun, gives skin to others."

"He has successively served as the guerrilla general of Ningxia Town and the general of Pingluo. In the spring of the 20th year of Wanli, he made great contributions to the suppression of Liu Dongyang's mutiny and was promoted to the general army of Ningxia."

A thin general came out, clasped his fists and said:

"The last general, Guo Qin, was a student at the beginning, but he abandoned it later. Inheriting Zuyin, he was an official Guyuan guerrilla, and the commander of the Shouxie. In the 47th year of Wanli, he recorded his previous achievements and became the commander of Guyuan."

After Guo Qin finished speaking, another general followed him, bowed his head and said:

"The last general Jiang Shuang, his ancestor Jiang Han, was born as a world-class official. In the 47th year of Wanli, with the shadow of his ancestors, he entered the Gansu General Military Officer and assisted in leading the regiment training."

Zhu Xieyuan suddenly asked:

"You three..."

Jiang Rang, the commander-in-chief of Yulin, replied with a smile: "Brothers... Supervisor, Jiang Bi is the second younger brother of the last general, and Jiang Shuang is the third younger brother of the last general, from the same family."

"It turns out that the Jiang family is really the Shanxi pillar of the imperial court."

Except for the two towns of Liaodong and Shanxi that were not counted this time, the generals of the Jiang family accounted for three of the other seven major towns on the nine borders, and there were even dangerous places like Yulin and Xuanfu.

Zhu Xieyuan laughed at them on the face, but he became vigilant in his heart.

The imperial court had no choice but to guard against this phenomenon. It was necessary to report this situation to the Holy Majesty and deal with the Jiang family in Yulin as soon as possible.

After the commander-in-chief of the Nine Borders reported his family, all the remaining generals came out one by one, but at this time, Zhu Xieyuan obviously didn't have so much energy to listen carefully.

"..."

"The last general, You Shiwei, a Yulin Weiren, in the first year of Tianqi, accumulated meritorious service and went to Jianchang Camp in Yulin Town as a general. In March of the second year of Tianqi, he was transferred to guard Qiangzi Road."

"The last general Hou Shilu, a Yulin Weiren, was born in a world position, and now he has retired to the deputy general of Liangzhou."

"The last general, Li Changling, whose name is Yuchuan, was born in Zhenfanwei.

"The last general, Qu Jiazhen, his father, Qu Shifang, his grandfather, Qu Feng, his great-grandfather, Qu Liang, and his great-grandfather, Qu Jin. He was originally from Hefei, Anhui Province, and was born in a world position. Today, he is a general at Guangchang Road in Datong Town, assisting in guarding the Peach Blossom Fort."

"..."

Not all generals of any rank can go to the supervisor's tent to discuss matters. Except for the commander-in-chief of the seven border towns, the lowest rank is also a general.

After reporting to his family, Zhu Xieyuan had a certain understanding of the 36 main generals in front of him, and let them express their opinions and talk freely about tactics.

The 36 generals present were not low in rank. After they went out, they were at least leading the army. If Zhu Xieyuan hadn't come, ordinary people might really be hard to subdue.

Zhu Xieyuan understood that although he had sufficient combat experience in the Southwest, he had never been to Liaodong and the grasslands, was not familiar with the local terrain and customs, and had never fought against the Jurchens and Mongols.

The 36 generals in front of them are either born in the world and have been influenced by famous generals from their ancestors since they were young, or they are fierce generals who have been promoted through battles.

Among them, there is no shortage of veterans like Xiao Ruxun, the general soldier of Ningxia, who have been stationed at the border all the year round and have rich experience in fighting the Mongols.

For such an important battle, Zhu Xieyuan must make several plans in advance, and have some understanding of the tactics of the Jurchens and Mongols in order to be more handy.

It seems that it is really necessary to learn from them properly.

Chapter 3 will discuss the strategy of the generals

Jiang Rang, the commander-in-chief of Yulin, was the most prestigious among the generals. He stretched out his hand to stop the generals from discussing, stepped forward and said:

"This is the marching route originally drawn up by the Ministry of War for our army, as well as the location of the military posts along the way. Please take a look at it!"

Zhu Xieyuan nodded, then looked at the map behind him.

At this time, there was a strange laugh among the generals.

Jiang Rang turned his head to go over, but found that the one who spoke was Wang Bao, the younger brother of Wang Wei, the chief soldier of Jizhou. The latter was also nervous when he saw the general looking sideways, and he was at a loss to explain and confessed everything.

It turned out that Wang Bao was thinking about the prodigal deeds of Ye Yu's daughters in the camp last night, secretly laughing in his heart, he didn't pay attention for a while, and laughed out.

When the news came out, the solemn atmosphere in the tent disappeared for a while, all the generals knew Wang Bao's temper, they all burst into laughter and whispered in the following.

Jiang Rang was already at odds with Wang Wei, so he sneered at these words:

"Wang Zongzhen, this is the superintendent's tent. Isn't it your responsibility to make my brother behave so recklessly?"

In fact, according to Wang Wei's current status as the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, he is completely worthy of the title of "Marshal Wang", but it is precisely because his brothers were born in the red people that he was looked down upon by Jiang Rang, who was born in the general family.

Wang Wei didn't like face-saving kung fu very much, he didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Rang, and knew that he couldn't beat this group of generals, so he had to apologize for his unworthy brother:

"The supervisor is superior, the last general has no way to teach his younger brother, so he is willing to be punished."

Before Zhu Xieyuan could speak, Jiang Rang snorted coldly, and blew in his ears: "Master, why don't you beat him with thirty army sticks, as a warning to others!"

Hearing this, Zhu Xieyuan put away his original idea of ​​making big things small, and said instead:

"Then follow General Jiang's wishes." Then, he turned his head to look at Wang Wei, the general soldier of Jizhou, who was about to go back, and asked:

"Are there any prostitutes accompanying the army in every battalion these days? Mr. Wang, come and talk to me."

Wang Wei was taken aback for a moment, so he had no choice but to stand still, and said in a straightforward manner:

"Returning to the supervisor, it is so."

"Not only my Jizhou battalion, but also the Yulin battalion, Xuanfu battalion, and Gansu battalion. They were all recruited to the battalion to relieve the boredom of drills and training."

"Um……"

Zhu Xieyuan nodded and signaled Wang Wei to go back. With a stern face, he glanced coldly at Jiang Rang, the general soldier of Yulin, and asked:

"Master Jiang, what's going on?"

"Did the imperial court stipulate that prostitutes can be brought along with the army?"

Jiang Rang was complacent because the new supervisor gave him face in front of everyone, and he was also surprised when he heard this, so he took two steps back and said:

"There is no such rule in the army, but the supervisor also knows that last year the emperor personally conquered and rectified the military towns in Jifu and Jiubian, and replaced the drill code with a new one."

"Jifu Jingjun originally practiced once a month, but now it has been changed to practice every ten days. On the ninth side, it used to practice every half a month, but now it is practicing every three days..."

"Brothers can't stand such frequent drills. Although it's okay for us to be a handsome man, we should take care of our brothers, right?"

"This is also..."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xieyuan did not pursue too much, but said:

"These are extraordinary times, and His Majesty is on a bumpy road to personally preside over the reforms in Nanjing. We should be a little bit tired."

The generals discussed a few words with each other, and they all nodded.

Immediately, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Jiang Rang again and said:

"Marshal Jiang, the governor also knows that it is not easy for the soldiers to fight for the court. The prostitutes will be given five taels of silver and travel expenses each, and they should all be sent back to their original places."

Jiang Rang was a little reluctant, but considering that Zhu Xieyuan was discussing with himself, his expression seemed rather hesitant.

"As for the soldiers in Yulin, Xuanfu, and Gansu towns, each of them will be given another ten taels of silver as a consolation. What do the three generals think?"

Zhu Xieyuan suddenly said this again.

Jiang Rang was taken aback when he heard that, then laughed and said:

"The final general will obey the order of the supervisor!"

He turned his head, looked at the generals who were also somewhat displeased that there were no prostitutes in the camp, and warned coldly: "What are you doing in a daze, didn't you hear the commander's military order?"

Jiang Shuang, the general soldier of Gansu Province, was also comforted by money, and shouted along with him:

"The military order is like a mountain. The supervisor said that there should be no more prostitutes in the camp, and they should be sent back to their original places!"

Among the three Jiang brothers, only Jiang Bi, the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Mansion, seemed thoughtful. Under the watchful eyes of the two brothers, he expressed his position somewhat helplessly:

"Whoever dares to disobey the military order of the supervisor will be against us!"

All three of them spoke, although there were many complaints from the generals present, they still stood up in twos and threes to express their respect, and will repatriate the prostitutes in the camp from tomorrow.

Zhu Xieyuan smiled slightly, expressing his satisfaction.

He picked up a pond newspaper that arrived at the camp the day before yesterday, which was written by the chief official of Shanhaiguan.

What was mentioned in the Tang newspaper was the news that Horqin's five coalition forces had assembled on the banks of the Zhuri River and were ready to invade Fuyuwei at any time.

"Xiong Tingbi's words are not scaremongering. Horqin and Neikalkha's defection to Houjin is the consequence of the imperial court watching Jurchen's reckless actions in Liaodong!"

"But this time, if the imperial court still doesn't send troops, it will be a matter of time before the Fuyu tribe will be defeated. At that time, all the Mongolian tribes will fall to Houjin, and the grassland fire will inevitably go south again and burn on Daming's head !"

"The fire is close, I can no longer stand on the sidelines, I have to fight them to the death!"

After these few words, Zhu Xieyuan can be regarded as completely mobilizing the emotions of the generals, and none of the generals are rookies who participated in the battle for the first time.

They understand that the scale of this battle is so large that it may be the only time they have participated in this life. High risks bring high returns.

Judging from the reward sent back by the imperial court, it is still very generous.

You can't kill Nurhachi, but you can be named uncle by killing Baylor. Hereditary, this is the rise of another general!

Wang Wei's tiger eyes were full of light, this is an opportunity for his descendants to fight for the same background as these generals!

In this battle, he will behead a Jurchen Baylor under his horse, and make meritorious deeds to make him uncle!

Zhu Xieyuan raised his hand, this time the generals did not make any noise before, and soon fell silent, only to hear him continue:

"Everyone, in the previous battle of Yang Hao and Saerhu, and Wang Huazhen's defeat in Guangning, they all went out from four directions, divided into total. We can't make such a mistake a third time."

"This time, the governor's intention is to invest all his troops in the Fuyuwei area. As long as the Fuyu department can last until our army arrives, this battle will be considered half won!"

The words fell, which immediately aroused the quarrel among the generals.

What Ma Yuan thought was to divide his troops into two groups, one with the main force to help Fuyuwei, and the other with the Liao army in Guangning, Songjin and other places to relieve the siege of Shenyang.

What Ma Shilong thought was exactly the opposite, but his idea of ​​acting with Zhu Xieyuan's army was different.

He believed that if the army moved together and was bloated, it would definitely slow down the marching speed greatly, and the Fuyu Department would definitely not be able to wait for the army to arrive.

Since Fuyuwei is to be the main battlefield, don't go to Liaoshen.

He suggested that the whole army of cavalry should be assembled first to help Fuyuwei before the army, and then the army would be divided into two groups to cooperate with his own cavalry and Fuyu's cavalry to severely defeat the invading Mongolian cavalry.

Ma Shilong believes that the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry is far inferior to that of the Jurchen Six Banners back then, and they can completely let go of their hands and feet and hurt them in the first battle.

The two argued quite a bit, but there was no result. The only thing they had in common was that they all felt that the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry was far inferior to that of the Jurchen cavalry, and they did not pay enough attention to it.

Ma Yan was impatient, he choked on a few words, and suddenly stepped out, and repeated the thoughts of the two of them in a few words, and let Zhu Xieyuan make up his mind.

Chapter 3 and Nine: The Military Science of the Ming Dynasty is ahead of the barbarians

Zhu Xieyuan did not make a decision, he just arrived in the camp today, the first thing to do is to get acquainted with the main generals, to know where their respective abilities are, and to feel their tempers.

After raising the account, Zhu Xieyuan felt that he already knew the details of several people.

Wang Wei, the commander-in-chief of Ji Town, was promoted from a small soldier to the commander-in-chief by virtue of his military exploits. He stepped on the bones of the enemy all the way.

Compared with Wang Wei, his younger brother Wang Bao, the general of Jizhou, is not so trustworthy.

According to legend, Wang Bao was bullying the weak and fearing the hard, he loved great achievements, was greedy for money, and was lustful. He often scolded soldiers and embezzled military pay.
