Wanli Xinming

Chapter 47
The elite soldiers gathered by Yang Bing were the personal soldiers of the generals at all levels in the Beijing battalion.In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, except for a few generals such as Qi Jiguang to train troops, most generals marched and fought relying on personal guards and servants, the so-called "housemen".

The birth of Jiading was due to the construction system of the Ming army.In the early Ming Dynasty, Taizu and Chengzu divided the elites into the imperial guards and the small guards of the vassal kings.In the layout of the local guards, in the early Ming Dynasty, only [-] to [-] percent of the troops were full-time field troops, and the rest were mainly farming fish belly.This idea of ​​building an army influenced most of the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the treatment of the Ming army is very low. If they want to improve their lives, the frontier army must rely on first-class merit and loot.Therefore, when capable generals regularly attack and actively attack the barbarians on the border, in order to speed up the battle, they can only choose elite troops and carry out tasks lightly and simply.As a result, Jiadingbing was born in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Longwan period, Li Chengliang became the most typical example of the military system.He not only took the family to attack, but also deliberately let the barbarians enter the country to loot, and when the latter returned with a full load, Li Chengliang dispatched elite cavalry to ambush in light clothes, and he had both the head and the property.This method of warfare affected most of the generals in the Longwan period.

Jia Dingbing is only loyal to the main general who gave him a generous reward, and has no loyalty to the state society.Therefore, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, traitors emerged in an endless stream, and their fighting power was also very impressive, killing their compatriots and incurring blood debts.It can be said that after Chongzhen died for his country, the Central Plains, especially the Jiangnan region, were completely destroyed, and the so-called Han army, the so-called Han army, was the main force of Thai Banyu Jiading.

Closer to home, although the soldiers of the frontier army are known as elites, they are just average when they are marching in line.The servants of Yang Bing and others waited even more. In addition to eating well and training more, they did not even have one-tenth of that of the servants of the frontier army at this time.

Later, these people were trained for a month, and they became more energetic, but the orderliness of the queue was comparable to that of Ji town soldiers.

Everyone on the viewing platform saw that the horses from the Beijing Camp came in eight columns from east to west. Some of the horses went forward and some came back. Although they were not crooked, they looked very obsessive-compulsive.Although it has a big appearance as a whole, compared with the Jizhen cavalry, it feels like a militia armed parade.

Most of the civil servants on the viewing platform have never brought soldiers. If they hadn’t had the previous drills of the elite soldiers in Jizhen, they would have considered such a queue to be passable. It was difficult to catch the eye, let alone swallow, and shook their heads one by one.

When he got under the viewing platform, Yang Bing would not dare to play Qi Jiguang's evolution. He just passed by honestly.

With the sound of a big drum, when the army drew their swords and pointed diagonally, some were fast, some were slow, some raised their swords high, and some held them low, so it was impossible to see.When the team was about to pass, some soldiers put their hands on the hilts of their waists and pulled them out, but they didn't even draw out their knives because they were nervous.

The three long live shouts were quite loud, but uneven, and one idiot waited until everyone's voices were finished before he let out a roar, and there was a burst of laughter on the viewing platform.Immediately after seeing Zhang Juzheng standing next to the emperor in the front row, he glanced back, and all the ministers realized that this was a slap in the face of the emperor, and stood up tremblingly.

At this time, Yang Bing was in the middle of the infantry army when he saw the embarrassing appearance of the cavalry in front of him, his eyes were a little blurry, and his vision was blurred.At this time, the arrow is on the string, and he can only force his spiritual command.Because I practiced it many times after the year, the Golden Drum Banner of the Chinese Army did not go wrong.

It may be that Yang Bing and others are busy training soldiers, and ancestor worship is not very effective during the Spring Festival.The ancestors of each family have chosen the reason, and they have to give them some eye drops.When the front of the infantry marched past the viewing platform with the drum beat, something went wrong.

When a soldier in the middle of the front row of the former army was drawing a knife diagonally, his palms sweated because he was nervous, so he didn't hold the knife and fell to the ground with a bang.He wanted to bend over to pick it up, and then remembered the stern warning from the general that no disorderly movements were allowed, how could the queue allow him to hesitate, and in the end he walked over empty-handed.

The soldiers on his left and right and behind saw the knife fall to the ground, and they were designated not to step on it. Naturally, a bubble formed around the knife in the middle of the team.When the emperor and others watched on the stage, it was extremely dazzling.

There was an empty bubble. The army followed the sound of the golden drum and walked a few steps. Finally, a relatively rash soldier did not see it. He kicked the hilt of the knife, and the knife flew up diagonally and stabbed him to the right. A soldier in front of him had a large hole in his ankle, and the blood flowed non-stop.The wounded soldier was of good quality, gritted his teeth and said nothing, but inevitably limped.

But in this way, the air bubbles updated their positions, and there were actually two irregular places in the team, which gradually joined together.The soldiers in the back just stared at the soldiers in front and walked, so after dozens of steps, the tail of the front army split into two, and the more they walked, the more open they were.

The troops in the front of the Central Army were a little confused when they saw this situation. They didn't know if this was a formation exercise or if something went wrong. , like the trident.

At this time, the viewing platform was like an ice cave, the emperor did not speak with a cold face, and Zhang Juzheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.When all the ministers saw such a big basket coming out of the parade, they didn't know what the emperor would do with it, so they all bowed their heads and said nothing.Some people who were worried about the country and the people trembled with anger, while Yang Bing and other generals in the Beijing battalion turned black in front of them.

Lieutenant General Jiao Ze was in the front of the Central Army. Although he didn't understand what was going on behind the Front Army, he knew that something was wrong with the Central Army because he had never practiced this three-pronged infantry formation since he was a child.He was originally in command of the flag, and he put the flag in the hands of the personal soldiers beside him, and ran out of the queue to form a team in front of the central army.

When he shouted to pass the central army, he finally saw the knife on the ground.Quickly ran a few steps, bent over to pick it up, and didn't have a place to hang it, and didn't dare to throw it away.Holding the knife, he ran back again, shouting and rushing the trident to join forces.

It doesn't matter as soon as he carries the knife, the "elite soldiers" of this family are all straight-hearted - otherwise, they will not be able to become elites.Knowing that he stabbed the big basket, he thought Deputy General Jiao was going to kill someone to vent his anger, so he avoided him at a distance.Since then, with Vice President Jiao within six feet of the center of the circle, not a single soldier dared to approach, so he squeezed the team towards the viewing platform.

At this time, Yang Bing of the Central Army had already seen the ins and outs right away, the bells and drums beside his ears rang together, the scene in front of him turned black and white, and his heart jumped in his chest to his throat.He wanted to kill himself with a knife, and he wanted to hack Jiao Ze and all these soldiers to death.

When Yang Bing walked to the bottom of the viewing platform, the emperor finally said on the platform: "Enough is enough, the whole army stops!"

When the decree came down, a horn sounded from the viewing platform, and the big Han generals shouted in unison: "The whole army stops!"

The Jingying cavalry team had already approached the Jizhen soldiers at this time, and when they heard the words, they didn't know what to do, and a group of people shouted the horse's neigh.The drummer Jin next to Yang Bing heard the big Han general shouting, and without waiting for Yang Bing's order, he banged Jin, and the whole army slowly stopped.

The Great Han general also delivered a decree: "All the troops return to the headquarters, and the commander of the Beijing battalion and above will meet you at the viewing platform!"

At this time, the 3000 people in the Beijing camp who were receiving the parade knew that something had gone wrong in the parade, and they were all panicked. After listening to the order, some soldiers ran to the camp without looking at the generals, feeling that they could only feel safe by relying on large troops. like.

Some of them stayed beside their generals. From the stage, the circles looked like plum blossoms, but compared with the plum blossoms and mandarin ducks in Jizhen, it was the greatest black humor since the founding of Taizu.

The emperor was on the stage, and the sharp childish voice burst out in his throat, with a penetrating indifference: "Zhu Qing, can you sleep comfortably in such a Beijing camp?"
