Wanli 1592

Chapter 623 detailed work?

In fact, when Xiao Ruxun saw the place name of Yingzhou, he thought of this very funny record in Wu Zong Shilu.

From a modern point of view, 10 people fight each other for a whole day, even if the weapons are bricks, I am afraid that there will not be only so few casualties. This record itself is full of contradictions and loopholes. , On the one hand, the recorded casualties are so low, how discordant it is.

Some modern historians deduce based on some clues in the history books and later records of related battles that the Mongols were indeed defeated in the battle of Yingzhou. After that, I dare not continue to attack.

The impression that Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao gave to future generations can be summed up in two words, absurd, but the true intentions of the emperor concealed under this absurd skin can also be seen from this contradictory historical record. Get a peek--

Ming Wuzong was the only emperor in the Ming Dynasty who had direct contact with the army and led troops to war since the mass death of military generals Xungui in the Tumu Fortress of Ming Yingzong, and the military power was fully controlled by civil officials headed by Yu Qian.

During the Hongwu Yongle Xuande period, it was normal for the emperor to lead troops to conquest in person. In terms of the military system of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang’s original intention was to require future generations to directly control the military power. After the turning point in history, this power, which is equivalent to an obligation, was blocked by civil officials.

But Zhu Houzhao did it.

How amazing is that?

From the fact that none of his predecessors and subsequent generations of emperors had direct contact with the army, we can see how powerful this guy is, how good he is, and how he annoys the civil officials headed by Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe, the genius chief assistant, was later overthrown by Emperor Jiajing, and what happened in the Ming Dynasty a few years before and after he chose Emperor Jiajing, who had no background and connections, to be in charge of Dazong, can be related to this time.

A horrible saying was born.

Xiao Ruxun didn't dare to say that this was true, but judging from the civil servants he came into contact with, the birth of this statement was not groundless, and he really didn't have a good impression of Yang Tinghe.

Now that he has come to Yingzhou, looking at the devastated land, he remembered that it was also devastated 80 years ago, but what he brought to the Ming army was the joy of victory, but now, all he is left with is endless sorrow.

Everything here is better than Shanyin County. What Xiao Ruxun sees are either ruins or ruins or dead bodies.

Here, Xiao Ruxun also did not meet the northern captives, nor did Nurhachi, who was still advancing to open the way, but Xiao Ruxun had never been so eager to meet the northern captives, and then fought fiercely.

After setting up an altar to worship the dead people here, and burning their bones, Xiao Ruxun continued to lead his troops forward. On the fourth day of March in the 26th year of Wanli, Xiao Ruxun led his troops to Wuli Village. At this time, Nurhachi had already led his troops to Huairen County. , he finally sent back the battle report that Xiao Ruxun wanted to see.

Nurhachi's sentry found about [-] northern captives stationed in Huairen County. In addition, he also discovered that there were a large number of Han people in Huairen, probably captured by the northern captives and used as slaves. The number was about tens of thousands.

Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered Li Rusong to lead the large troops to move forward, and he himself led the guards with [-] cavalry to rush to Nurhachi's camp in the south of Huairen overnight.

If there are Han people captured, things will be different. Rescuing them is the key. Nurhaci's Jurchen cavalry can't charge casually, and they must plan carefully.

At dusk on the fifth day of March, Xiao Ruxun led people to the small uninhabited village where Nurhachi led his troops to station. Nurhachi waited for Xiao Ruxun here. When Xiao Ruxun arrived, he took him to the north to check the situation of Huairen County. After a while, it was confirmed that there were Han captives in the city. This county town was probably already a stronghold of the Northern Prisoners. In this way, if you go further north, you will definitely encounter a large army of Northern Prisoners.

"General Tong, there are Han people in the city right now. We can't attack them blindly. Otherwise, the northern captives will react, and they may threaten the Han people. We must find a way to get the best of both worlds. I must rescue these Han people. of."

Xiao Ruxun gave Nurhachi such an order, and Nurhachi was very depressed about it.

You fight wars as long as you want to save people. I know you, Xiao Ruxun, love the people like a child, but do you want to be so willful? Just kill more than 2000 northern captives, and the remaining ones will be saved naturally. You want to rescue them all...

Nurhachi felt that his brain hurt.

He is good at killing people, but not good at saving people.

"Governor Xiao, this, this general is really not good at planning. If the governor has a way, the general will naturally follow orders."

Xiao Ruxun also knew that it would be difficult for this murderous maniac to save people, but right now he didn't know much about Huairen County, the specific situation inside was unclear, and he didn't have enough time for him to plan calmly. Some troubles.

"Report!! Shiro! We caught a spy while patrolling outside the camp!!"

A personal guard of Xiao Ruxun rushed into the tent and reported his achievements to Xiao Ruxun.

The generals around Xiao Ruxun who were born in the Ningxia headquarters all called Xiao Ruxun Shiro, and if the troops from other places wanted to call him this very close name, they could just become the most accurate sharpshooters and join the personal guards.

Everyone in the Zhennan army felt honored to call Xiao Ruxun "Siro". This is also a means of motivating the soldiers. Facts have proved that this method is still very good.

"Careful work?"

Xiao Ruxun frowned, then looked at Nurhachi.

Nurhachi said angrily: "Impossible! I was very cautious when leading the army and marching, and I kept sending sentry cavalry to scout around, so it is impossible to be found!"

"But, that was really a secret operation! He was sneaking around outside the village. We saw him suspicious, so we caught him. He was Han, and it was strange. He was holding a weapon that only our guards could use. Rifled flintlock."

The guard said firmly.

Xiao Ruxun frowned: "Rifled flintlock? Bring it to me."

The guards promised to go out, and after a while, "I'm not a spy" "I'm not a spy" "You fools" "Let go of me! I'm Juren" "I managed to escape and find you, how could you Said I was a fine work" such a voice.

Xiao Ruxun thought it was very strange, when that "subtle work" was caught in the big tent, Xiao Ruxun took a closer look and felt that something was wrong.

With a fair complexion and a thin body, he doesn't look like a person who lives in this kind of place. How can such a person do meticulous work?
The guard handed over a flintlock. Xiao Ruxun saw that it was really a flintlock made in Burma Town, and it was rifled. There were not a thousand of this kind of gun in the entire Ming Dynasty. Except for his own army, only the emperor gave it to him. Ten strokes, who is this guy, how could he be there?

"Are you a meticulous worker?"

Kneeling on the ground, the man argued loudly: "This general! I'm not a secret agent! My name is Xu Guangqi, and I'm a Juren!"

Xiao Ruxun was taken aback for a moment.
