The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 743 Are the hoarding troops so elite?
There are many civil and military personnel of the Ming Dynasty on the top of the city, and Xie Zhiliang, the general soldier of Taiyuan, is also there.

Seeing this scene, he was also quite speechless.

Not long ago, when he brought more than 5000 soldiers to Datong to vote for Ding Yi, Ding Yi also used this excuse to release swords and arrows first, and then enter the city in turn.

Then it was all collected.

Now he doesn't even have a servant.

You must know that Xie Zhiliang's Taiyuan General Soldier and Wang Chengyin's Xuanda General Soldier have tens of thousands of soldiers. The 4000 soldiers brought out by Xie Zhiliang and the [-] soldiers brought out by Wang Chengyin are barely elite.

This is equivalent to Ding Yi getting another nine thousand elites.

He is also an old routine. After he came in, he first controlled Wang Chengyin, then dismissed his servants, reorganized into various ministries, and started training recruits the next day.

Those who can't bear the suffering will be reduced to hoarding soldiers, and those who don't obey the discipline will be executed.

Killed more than 200 people in seven days, including dozens of servants.

The rest of the people soon became honest after receiving their salaries.

Ding Yi also found that Wang Chengyin didn't bring any silver, because the last time he and Wang Chengyin raided Fan's house, Wang Chengyin shared hundreds of thousands of silver. After asking, he found out that Wang Chengyin buried the silver in the ground and planned to go back to get it after the battle.

Of course, this money will belong to Ding Yi in the future.

At this time, Ding Yi's soldiers and horses in Datong had reached 5000.

More than 2 people in Ding Yi stood still in Datong, stepped up training, hoarded grain fields, and waited and watched the changes.

On March [-], Ding Yi called a meeting of the generals.

At the same time, four hundred cavalry, each with two horses, left Datong Town in four routes.

They have a hundred cavalry each way, and they all bring two horses. The main reason is that the soldiers are in a panic now, and it is safe to have more people.

"Don't love to fight when you encounter bandit soldiers, leave as soon as possible." Ding Yi said.

Everyone agreed that their war horses were the best in Daming at that time, as long as they wanted to run, unless the enemy ambushed and intercepted them, it would be impossible to catch up with them.

"Two hundred riders went to Jizhen, Tianjin, summoned Xu Fuzuo to Shen Shikui to gather in Tianjin, the two armies merged into one, under the command of Shen Shikui, after Li Zicheng broke through the capital, wait and see what happens, I will lead the troops there as soon as possible, if I Before it arrived, Li Zicheng sent troops to attack, first send the surrender form, and stabilize Li Zicheng."

"If you can't be deceived, then retreat to Cangzhou first and guard the front line of Cangzhou."

"promise."

"Two hundred riders headed to Shandong, summoned Zhang Qidong's department, Wang Weizhong's department, Yang Duan's department, Fang Duotai's department, Chen Hongguo's department, and Zhu Sheng's department."

"Stationed in Dezhou, led by Wang Weizhong."

Ding Yi is not in a hurry to destroy Li Zicheng, one is to wait for him to break the capital, and the other is to wait for him to get 7000 million silver in the capital before Ding Yi starts.

In order to defeat Li Zicheng in one fell swoop, Ding Yi will mobilize 1 troops from Xu Fuzuo, 8000 from Shen Shikui, 2 from various ministries in Shandong, and 5000 from Ding Yi himself, for a total of [-] troops.

Later, troops will be transferred from Lushun. At this time, the task of conquering all directions and sweeping the world has officially started.

But how to fight, Ding Yi still has to wait and see how it changes later.

If the development is the same as in the original history, it would be better if Li Zicheng and the Manchus fought first.

But Ding Yi reckoned that the Manchu Qing might not be able to enter the customs this time, because of his influence, Wu Sangui might think carefully about surrendering.

The order he gave to his subordinates was that if Li Zicheng oppressed him, he would surrender first.

Four hundred cavalry quickly rushed out of Datong, heading towards Shandong and Tianjin.

As soon as this group of cavalry left, Deng Guangtie came from Daizhou with a hundred fine cavalry, and also brought Chuang Wang's letter and warrant, begging to see Ding Yi.

Ding Yi quickly opened the city gate and personally led a large number of generals to greet him at the gate.

"Greetings to King Chuang's Special Envoy and Great General Deng." Ding Yi smiled all over his face and bowed cautiously.

All the generals of Ding Yi kowtowed and bowed down.

Deng Guangtie was riding on the horse, looking at Ding Yi kneeling on the ground from a high position, his heart was full of pride, and he couldn't help laughing: "Mr. I haven't seen you."

He jumped off the horse and pretended to help Ding Yi up, with a rather smug expression on his face.

Back then when he was defeated by Wang Weiguo and was captured by Ding Yi, he once knelt in front of Ding Yi just like Wang Weiguo, trembling.

Now, time has passed, and now Ding Yi has to kneel in front of him, respectfully.

The most proud thing in life is this.

Brother Wang is right, Chuang Wang's momentum has been established, and no one can stop it.

Deng Guangtie brought the order to Chuangwang, asking Ding Yi to send troops immediately to persuade Wang Chengyin to surrender, and if he did not surrender, he would attack him.

Unexpectedly, Ding Yidao said, I had already surrendered Wang Chengyin, and when the rebels arrived, I would raise a banner to welcome them.

Deng Guangtie was overjoyed. He deliberately raised his account at the moment and wanted to order all the troops. Ding Yi readily agreed.

Deng Guangtie promoted the 100 people he brought with him to the rank of Chief Qian and transferred them to various ministries, but Ding Yi had no objection.

At this point, Deng Guangtie knew that Ding Yi had really surrendered, so he immediately revised the book and sent him back to Taiyuan.

It wasn't until his messenger arrived in Taiyuan that Li Zicheng didn't wait for his messenger to report, believing that Ding Yi would surrender, he had already led his troops across Shanxi and entered Beizhili.

Li Yan, who was stationed in Taiyuan, was not polite, and immediately ordered Ding Yi to move to Yulin and attack the Ming army in Yulin.

Because the news of Yuan Zongdi's defeat in Yulin came at this time, Li Yan thought that Yuan Zongdi was defeated by Jiang Rang, so he asked Ding Yi to send his army to fight Yulin.

The messenger ran back to Datong again, sending letters back and forth. After Ding Yi received the letter, he immediately decided to raise troops and march westward to attack Yulin.

At this time, the courier is running around, and it has been delayed until April.
-
As early as March 22, Xu Fuzuo of Jizhen received a messenger from Ding Yi. Without saying a word, he assembled the entire army, including 3000 soldiers, [-] soldiers and their families, and more than [-] People, set off at the same time, go to Tianjin.

The reason for removing the hoarding soldiers is because Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses are behind him.

Wu Sangui and Tang Tong were summoned to enter the Wei capital at the same time, Tang Tong both received the order, and when they arrived in the capital they were made uncles, and Wu Sangui walked slowly to the vicinity of Qinhuangdao.

In the original history, he walked slowly on purpose, of course he also walked slowly this time, and it is useless to try to walk fast.

Because this time Xu Fuzuo's soldiers and horses were in Jizhen, just in front of him.

Wu Sangui was thinking, your Xu's soldiers don't move, why should I move?Naturally, I walked for a long time, but I didn't reach the capital.

Xu Fuzuo now withdrew all the soldiers and hoarders, and finally gave way to the passage.

But Wu Sangui still walked very slowly. When Li Zicheng's troops came to the capital city in early April, Wu Sangui had just arrived in Funing.

Funing is the place where Xu Fuzuo's battalions are stationed, and soldiers have stockpiled tens of thousands of acres of fields here. At this time in April, the wheat fields are green and growing well.

After Wu Sangui entered Ji Town, he had seen such wheat fields more than once. He was shocked, he didn't expect Xu Fuzuo's soldiers and horses to stock up fields in Ji Town so well.

But Xu Fuzou's entire army retreated to Tianjin. He didn't know what Xu Fuzou meant. Seeing Xu Fuzou left with all his troops, he thought Xu had also gone to the Wei capital.

After arriving in Funing, Wu Sangui decided to suspend his journey, sent people to chase Xu Fuzuo, and invited him to Beijing together.

His courier caught up with Xu's soldiers and horses in Liangcheng, and the courier was also taken aback. He saw that there were endless people and horses in front of him, and there were all kinds of carts, which were full of countless grains and various resources. Qing soldiers entered the pass, as if they had robbed something.

It was Fu Wenyuan, a guerrilla from the Biaoyou Camp in Wu Sangui Town, who came to deliver the letter.

Fu Wenyuan was riding on a horse, standing on a high ground, watching the continuous stream of carts passing by, and countless hoarded soldiers dragging their families with their mouths, with an incredulous expression on his face.

Many of Xu Fuzuo's hoarded soldiers had family members. Now they were pushing carts, or leading carriages, full of supplies to Tianjin. Everyone seemed to be very happy, chatting and laughing from time to time, without any tension or tension. The color of fear.

Because Xu Fuzuo said before that the whole army moved to Tianjin, and this year's summer grain was not taxed, so although they planted wheat, they might not be able to receive it, but they didn't have to pay tax.

Xu also said that if he called back in the future, he would not charge the tax for Xia Liang.

As for Qiuliang, Xu promised that he would definitely come back.

So everyone is very relieved. These years, with Xu Fuzuo and Master Ding, Ji Town has enough food and clothing. Every year, Lushun's big ship brings in various supplies. Everyone is very satisfied with their current life.

It's just that the bandit army is approaching, so it's okay for everyone to avoid it first.

"Have you noticed that they all seem very happy?" Fu Wenyuan said to the riders around him.

Everyone nodded solemnly.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, there were so many happy things, soldiers and natural disasters everywhere, even when their soldiers and horses from Shanhaiguan came out, there were complaints all the way, and all the ministries were reluctant.

"Why are there so many soldiers in Ji Town?" Fu Tiande, the general manager, asked strangely.

They caught up with Xu Fuzuo's rear team, and for several miles forward, they were all hoarded soldiers. Looking along the way, there were at least [-] to [-] troops.

The key is that everyone has a good complexion and a lot of stamina. The elderly, women and children only account for less than one-third.

"I don't look like a battalion soldier, but a hoarder." Someone said.

"No way." The generals couldn't believe it.

"These people don't have weapons, they seem to be hoarding soldiers."

"It's all on the cart, take a look." Some people have sharp eyes, and they can see that there are knives, spears, and even shields on the carts they push.

Xu Fuzuo's hoard of soldiers is also equipped according to Lushun standard. Starting from the second year, he trains for one or two months every year, and then he will be equipped with knives and spears.

"Just ask." Fu Wenyuan rode downhill to the side of the team.

In the long line, Xu's people looked at them strangely, because they were obviously not Xu's soldiers, but everyone was not afraid of them and ignored them.

Fu Wenyuan saw a strong and strong man, still wearing cotton armor, but the cotton armor was a bit worn out, as if he had picked it up from the battlefield.

"Are you soldiers and horses of Mr. Xu? Which battalion are you from?"

The burly man froze for a moment, then grinned: "I would like to be a soldier of General Xu, but I'm just a hoarder."

"..." Fu Wenyuan gasped and looked around: "Are you all hoarding soldiers?"

"It's all." The big man pointed with his finger: "The battalion is in front."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, because they came all the way just now, the hoarding soldiers were orderly and in good spirits, they looked similar to their Guan Ning army.

The key is that everyone seems to be eating well and in good health.

Some hoarders and Ming soldiers were yellow, hungry, and skinny, which could be seen at a glance.

"Damn it, Xu Fuzou is crazy, this is our good seed." Fu Tiande shouted.

In their eyes, all the strong men in these hoards can be Guan Ning cavalry. If they choose soldiers, they can be selected by all.

Such a person is not a soldier, so what kind of soldiers does Xu Fuzuo have?

"Go ahead and take a look." Fu Wenyuan immediately decided to go forward and chase after Xu Fuzuo's soldiers.

But before they were able to speed up their horses, there was a sudden sound of rumbling horseshoes in front of them.

A wave of about [-] cavalry came galloping.

Everyone stopped quickly, only to see the hundreds of cavalry, with bright armor and bright armor, their horses were tall and fierce, and they were approaching quickly like the wind.

Looking at it later, all of them are wearing brand new iron armor. The iron armor is different from other Ming troops. The whole body is black and gold, and it glows with a dazzling black light in the sun.

A black cloud of metal suppressed them, bringing a depressing atmosphere to their faces.

He Taiping on the opposite side of the "call" slowly slowed down and came to Fu Wenyuan.

"Who is coming?"

It took Fu Wenyuan and others a while to come back to the province. It was really that the opponent's armor and horses were too oppressive, and they were compared with Guan Ning's cavalry.

Fu Wenyuan and others are all veterans of Guanning's iron cavalry, who have been riding and fighting for many years.

But now looking at the opponent's war horses, each of them is better than Guan Ning's, and the armor on his body is also more and more sophisticated than theirs. Looking at the opponent's spirit, he can be called the elite of the elite. Sharp, with a ferocious air on his body.

"Brother is Fu Yuanwen from the Guan Ning Army. On the orders of our Mr. Wu, please see Mr. Xu." Fu Wenyuan's tone was very polite.

Before coming, their Guan Ning army never looked down on the Ming army in every town in the world, and now they saw He Taiping, they were deeply shocked.

Of course, at this time in their hearts, they still thought that this wave of elites was Xu Fuzuo's confidants.

"General Xu is not free." He Taiping said directly: "If you have anything to say to me, I am He Taiping, the general of Ji Town."

"So it's General He Can." Fu Wenyuan quickly clasped his fists together and jumped off the horse.

The other party was wearing a uniform armor, and he couldn't tell the official position, so he would know that he was a general, so of course he quickly got off his horse.

He Taiping was still on the horse, condescending, and his expression was not very good.

Wu Sangui was Ding Yi's next target to recruit and attack, so of course he would not be polite.

Fu Wenyuan explained his intention and wanted to invite Xu Fuzuo to join the Wei Jingshi.

He Taiping laughed loudly: "We, General Xu, did not receive an order from the imperial court to join the Imperial Guard. The imperial court asked us to go to Shandong. I don't know why."

He was also talking nonsense, Xu Fuzuo had received more than a dozen urgent reports from the court, but he just didn't move.

Fu Wenyuan was dumbfounded, apparently in disbelief.

He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "The bandit soldiers have already entered Shanxi, and they are afraid of going to Zhili in the north. Why does General Xu go to Shandong?"

"Walk around from Shandong to the rear of the northern Zhili bandits and beat them hard." He Taiping said nonsense.

But it seems to make sense.

Fu Wenyuan had no choice but to ask again if he could ask Mr. Xu to see him.

He Taiping said, then you go to chase after him, Xu Zongbing should have arrived in Tianjin.

Fu Wenyuan thought about it, gritted his teeth, and decided to look ahead.

He bid farewell to He Taiping, got on his horse, drove, and with a few generals, galloped forward.

He Taiping laughed out loud, ignored them, and walked away.

　Some brothers think that it is shameless to surrender the poison and fight for the world. Li Shimin also called his son to foreigners, Liu Bang called him a minister in front of Xiang Yu, and Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of other rebels to beat the Mongols, so he hid behind them and stabbed their ass. Returning to obedience, Ding Yi, the main character, does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.For the sake of peace in the world as soon as possible, it is normal to sacrifice some people. The later the peace is, the longer the war will be, and the more casualties will be.
