Wanli 1592

Chapter 674
Before Yuan Huang's main force arrived, the Warrior Wolf Battalion and the Wild Lion Battalion did not dare to attack with all their strength. After all, they were facing more than [-] young and strong men of the Meng tribe.

Luo Rong and Jiang Yue were not arrogant enough to dare to use 5000 people to attack more than [-] soldiers, even if they were a group of mobs in the eyes of Zhennan Army.

Luo Rong and Jiang Yue were both Xiao Ruxun's veteran soldiers in Ningxia. Following Xiao Ruxun, they experienced wind and sand in the northwest, received sunshine and fought against the northern captives. They made great contributions in the Korean War and were gradually promoted.

After arriving in Myanmar, they made further contributions. After the reorganization of the Zhennan Army in the 24th year of Wanli, the two of them stood out and became the chief generals of the cavalry.

They usually learn something from Xiao Ruxun's side. They know Xiao Ruxun's military habits and commanding habits, and know that although Xiao Ruxun despises his enemies, he never despises them.

To put it simply, Xiao Ruxun once explained to them that we are the best, and all those who try to resist and hostile to us are barbarians and idiots, and there is no need to have any sympathy for these people, just hate them to death.

But there is one thing, that is, we cannot underestimate their combat effectiveness. How many losses have we suffered from barbarians and idiots since ancient times?
Therefore, the generals of the Zhennan Army inherited Xiao Ruxun's idea under Xiao Ruxun's many meetings that were almost brainwashing education and propaganda.

Even if one bites one barbarian, even if these guys are despised to the bottom of their feet, they will not ignore the basic combat power they possess. After all, everyone only has one life. There is no second life, is there?

On this point, the generals of the Zhennan Army all adhere to Qi Jiguang's concept, that is, the strategic goal must be achieved, but not in a stupid and reckless way, but at the lowest cost, without the need to sacrifice their lives. Don't die in vain.

The reason why Xiao Ruxun vigorously promotes the literacy plan for soldiers is also to let the generals themselves develop the awareness of cherishing life and not giving away the lives of themselves and soldiers in vain. In this era when the literacy rate of the people is less than [-]%, literacy It is a very precious thing.

As a result, the generals naturally began to cherish those soldiers under their command who could write, read, have a little bit of cultural literacy, and have strong combat effectiveness. They would not casually treat the lives of soldiers as if they were pigs and dogs. Confederate battle losses fell sharply.

Luo Rong and Jiang Yue are both staunch supporters of Xiao Ruxun's consistent philosophy. They are loyal and will naturally abide by Xiao Ruxun's fundamental principle of not making unnecessary sacrifices. They will never fight when they should not fight. But now that Yuan Huang is here, Bring the main force, so what else?
Beat him up!

Before the Meng Allied Forces could organize their troops, when they were still in a mess, as vanguard troops, Zhanlang Camp and Qinglong Camp of the Zhennan Army, led by Zhao Hu, the leader of the Yuancong faction, broke out of Pingxi City, all the way. Tread north on blood.

On April 26th of the 1th year of Wanli, Zhao Hu smashed more than [-] troops of the Meng tribe hastily gathered ten miles north of Pingxi City, beheaded more than a thousand, and killed most of them. , but they are not complete.

Either it was missing an arm, or it was missing an ear, or it was missing a nose or a lip. Zhao Hu deliberately ordered them to be sent back to spread panic and strengthen their psychological offensive.

In his view, this kind of loose alliance without a backbone and opponents with extremely low civilization level, as long as they strengthen their fear of the Ming army, they are actually vulnerable despite their large numbers.

Having been by Xiao Ruxun's side for a long time, Zhao Hu has also learned a lot of Xiao Ruxun's usual battlefield routines. Under Xiao Ruxun's careful cultivation, the growth of the three main generals of the Yuan Cong faction is obvious.

In the earliest days, Zhao Hu could only charge and kill, and he was the number one general of the Yuan Cong faction, but now, Yuan Huang commented that Zhao Hu is a real "enemy of ten thousand people", that is, a general who can command an army of 1 people to gallop across the battlefield.

Zhao Hu was victorious in the first battle, and the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted. The vanguard army steadily advanced northward, and the follow-up troops set off one after another.

He still has to fulfill the special entrustment given to him by Xiao Ruxun.

The target is Bishop Alexander and Matteo Ricci who are recuperating physically and mentally in Pingxi City.

Yuan Huang, as Xiao Ruxun's closest and most trusted elder, absolutely knew Xiao Ruxun's true inner thoughts. He knew that Xiao Ruxun had no intention of allowing these Europeans to preach in the land of Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Ruxun once discussed with Yuan Huang the thoughts of these missionary guys, and showed extreme alertness and dislike for their real purpose. The reason why they are kept is that they need to communicate with the Europeans and need a better image of civilization Fool the Europeans so that they can take all their good things for their own use.

Second, it is to create an excuse for war with the Mon people.

As for Matteo Ricci, Yuan Huang knew very well that Xiao Ruxun didn't take him seriously at all. If it wasn't because he was proficient in Chinese and had a good memory, and was able to silently write many western classics to help Xiao Ruxun establish a scientific system, Xiao Ruxun would not have taken him seriously at all. He will not allow this guy to stay in his Zhennanhou Mansion.

Even so, Xiao Ruxun also set many restrictions on Matteo Ricci, basically not giving him the opportunity to meet outsiders, and not giving him the time and space to preach. The only one who has been in contact with him for a long time, Chen Longzheng, is an out-and-out romantic Stick, almost turned Matteo Ricci in reverse.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Ruxun is trying to squeeze their use value, and one day this use value is gone, Xiao Ruxun will turn his face and deny people in due course.

Yuan Huang understands this very well, so right now they still have a lot of surplus value that can be exploited, and they can't treat them as nothing, so Yuan Huang sent them care like relatives on behalf of Xiao Ruxun.

"Mr. Alexander, Mr. Leigh, it's really unexpected that such a thing will happen!"

Yuan Huang looked at Bishop Alexander and Matteo Ricci, who were full of joy for the rest of their lives, with a look of compassion and grief, then waved and asked the soldiers to bring them the gifts he had prepared.

Bishop Alexander immediately took Yuan Huang's hand.

"Mr. Yuan, I... I really didn't expect that there would be such barbaric races and people in this world. They killed not only their own compatriots, but also our priests. We have [-] priests I was brutally killed, I beg you to uphold justice for us, must uphold justice for us!"
