Daming: I help my wife be the empress

"Although His Majesty ordered me to look for an opportunity to attack before September [-]th, we can't really wait until September [-]th.

Therefore, after returning to the station, the generals can immediately start to cross the river to attack. " Du Yinxi sat on the commander-in-chief and looked around at the ten generals. At the end, he said in a vibrating voice: "Ren Guangrong, the leader of the party, and Liu Tichun listen to the order!" "

"The last general is here!" The commander-in-chief of the Henan Garrison of the Three Towns clasped his fists and responded loudly.

"The governor ordered you to wait until you return to the garrison, and use Ren Guangrong as the commander of the partial division, with Dang Shousu as the deputy commander of the partial division, and launch an attack on Wushe County, Huaiqing Prefecture within three days."

"The last general takes orders!"

Du Yinxi looked at the commander-in-chief of the Huguang garrison in the three towns, and said: "Zhang Yingyuan, Lu Guangzu, Xu Yuxian listen to the order!"

"The end is here!"

"After you return to the station, with Lu Guangzu as the commander of the partial division and Zhang Yingyuan as the deputy commander of the partial division, you will also attack Huanglinggang on the north bank of the Yellow River in Kaocheng within three days.

After taking this place, he entered Yanzhou Prefecture and went northward along the Heshui River to take Caozhou. "

"The last general takes orders!"

Du Yinxi said again: "You two partial divisions, east and west, are not the main forces of this Northern Expedition, so my supervisor's request to you is to cross the Yellow River and establish a foothold on the north bank.

As for how many places you can recover after taking Wushe and Caozhou, you need to do what you can.

In addition, you should be cautious when marching after crossing the river-if you encounter a heavy Qing army and cannot fight against it, try to hold on and send someone to the governor for help. "

Hearing this, the six chief soldiers of the garrison town had different expressions, but they were all surprised, because Du Yinxi's military order was too lenient to partial divisions.

Just when they were thinking this way, Du Yin said in a stern tone: "But if a town or a battalion collapses in the face of the enemy, or retreats to the south bank of the Yellow River, don't blame the ruthless military law!"

The six chief soldiers including Dang Shousu and Zhang Yingyuan couldn't help but shudder when they heard the words.

It was immediately clear that they had crossed the river and achieved their first military goal, and their subsequent actions would be relatively free.

But if they were defeated when they met the enemy on the north bank, and did not put a certain pressure on the Qing captives; or if they retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River, Du Yinxi would never spare them.

Ren Guangrong, Dang Shousu, and Liu Tichun, three generals from the Shun army, all had blood feuds with the Qing captives.

In the history of later generations, they were able to resist the Qing army for more than ten years after the Qing Dynasty almost unified the whole country.

In this life, they were able to conquer the captives in the Northern Expedition, avenge their revenge, and their will to fight was equally firm.

Ren Guangrong and Dang Shousu are older and haven't shown it much yet.

Liu Tichun, who was only 28 years old, clasped his fists and said proudly: "Don't worry, the supervisor, even if the last general dies in Hebei, he will never return to Henan!"

On the other side, Lu Guangzu, Zhang Yingyuan, and Xu Yuxian, who came from Zuo Liangyu's command, were thinking about what to do if they were really unable to defeat the Qing captives in Hebei (generally referring to the north of the Yellow River).

Although they have all studied in the general officer training camp of Wuchang Military Academy, because of the relatively short study time, the set of "combat thinking" formed by following Zuo Liangyu for many years still seriously affects them.

Even if they fought against the Qing captives in Hubei and Henan, and even won, it is difficult to completely abandon this kind of inertial thinking for a while.

That is, when encountering a strong enemy, subconsciously want to slip away, the farther the better, in order to preserve strength.

But they didn't think about it, they didn't think about how to make Du Yinxi understand this kind of combat thinking, and they heard Liu Tichun's decisive words.

Liu Tichun said so, how could they back down?
Just when they were slandering "this guy is a fool", they saw Ren Guangrong and the leader of the party followed him and said: "The last general is also willing to die in Hebei and never retreat to Henan!"

"Good!" Du Yinxi praised loudly.

Although his military order just now required that the two partial divisions not be allowed to return to Henan, the general's statement in front of him undoubtedly showed his determination to die-the general who took the initiative to express his position was always more effective than the general who was forced to accept the order.

After a praise, Du Yinxi looked at Lu Guangzu and the others.

The meaning is very clear: the three of them have expressed their views, how about you?

The three of Lu Guangzu knew that it would be impossible for them not to express their views at this time.

Since they wanted to make a statement, of course the three of them would not express their true inner thoughts, but each showed a determined expression, and clasped their fists together and said: "The last general is also willing to fight to the death in Hebei, and will never return to Henan!"

"Okay!" Du Yinxi nodded with a smile on his face, "Since all the commanders are determined to die, they will surely make the Qing prisoners frightened, and they will succeed in no time!"

After hearing Du Yinxi's words of encouragement, the three of Lu Guangzu felt better.

When they thought about it carefully at this moment, they knew that leading the battle in Daming was really very different from the past.

Emperor Chongzhen's treatment of military generals in the middle and late stages of his reign was entirely based on how many soldiers and horses you had-there are too many soldiers and horses, and if you make mistakes, you will not be punished.

But if you have no soldiers and horses, even if your soldiers and horses are all sacrificed to achieve the imperial court's combat objectives, the imperial court will punish you, even your family.

There are many examples before us, so it has almost become the instinct of generals in the Chongzhen Dynasty to preserve their soldiers and horses and maintain their strength.

What's more, at that time, not only the servants were completely dependent on the generals, but also the general soldiers' salaries and food were mostly settled by the generals themselves.

It can be said that the soldiers and horses are their own, and there is no reason not to feel distressed.

Now, first of all, the soldiers and horses are not theirs, and even the personal soldiers are appointed from above, which is different from the servants in the past, let alone ordinary soldiers.

All the officers and men only recognize Jinshang, Emperor Zhaowu Zhu Yuxi, and the Ming court under her leadership.

Because the military salaries in front of the soldiers and the honors after death were all given by Aimee Zhu.

Therefore, even if they have served in a certain town for several months, it is still difficult for their personal will to override the imperial court in the army.

Secondly, according to the military law of the new army they learned in the training class, in a war, even if the other armies suffer heavy losses, but you have not lost a single soldier, as long as you do not implement the orders issued by the above Military orders, or failure to complete military orders, will definitely be dealt with by military law.

Conversely speaking, as long as you can complete the military mission, even if you lose more soldiers and horses, the imperial court will not be harsh, and may even give you a reward and promotion.

Therefore, Liu Tichun's combat attitude is indeed worth learning for them-they just can't give up their lives in order to deal with the Qing captives like Liu Tichun did.

···
"In addition to the two sided divisions that attacked Huaiqing Mansion and Caozhou, Yanzhou Prefecture, the elite soldiers from the four towns led by the governor, the soldiers from the four towns led by Li Guoying, and the Jiangbei Front Army are all the main forces.

This time, we want to make the Qing soldiers retreat across the board, or at least put a lot of pressure on them, forcing the Qing soldiers to send more troops to the south. "

Finally, after making a concluding speech, Du Yinxi looked around at the generals again, and said, "This is the time for us to serve the country and make contributions, so you should encourage us!"
