There are less than 300 miles from Jiading Prefecture to Chengdu Prefecture; while the distance from Zi County to Longquanyi is about 300 miles, and there are still dozens of miles from Longquanyi to Chengdu.
Zhu Gaoxu could easily judge that if Xue Lu had clear goals, he would definitely have arrived in Chengdu earlier than him.
The composition of the two sides is not very different, and it is mainly composed of the vassal king guards and the guards. Although there are slight differences in the army in different places, the training and marching methods are very similar... Xue Lu has river shipping, and Zhu Gaoxu can only rely on vehicles, mules and horses to transport the baggage, which is a disadvantage in marching.
Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu could only let Xue Lu arrive in Chengdu first, otherwise the continuous marching would inevitably drag down the combat effectiveness of the battle formation.
Qu Neng's vanguard of cavalry with eight thousand cavalry, and as a swimming attack force, it is already a huge force, but if you want to attack the big city and the big formation, it is impossible to accomplish.
Most of the war horses served in the Ming army were Mongolian horses, Jianchang horses, Tibetan horses and other breeds, and were small in size. In addition, the Ming Dynasty has vast territory, and the military development has compromised towards long-distance raids. There are very few heavy cavalry equipped, and the impact ability of the cavalry on the front battle formation is slightly weak.
Zhu Gaoxu never asked Qu Neng to win a big battle with cavalry alone.
The main force of the Han Wang Army was more than 60,000. On the eighth day after passing Zi County, he arrived at Longquanyi and occupied this place.At this time, the scout reported that the army of officials had arrived in Huayang, a suburb of the south of Chengdu Prefecture.
Zhu Gaoxu decided to camp the Longquan Post and wait until the next day; in this way, all the troops of the subsequent army could gather in one place through the Longquan Mountains.
At the same time, he sent someone to order Qu Neng to move closer to the central army camp, preferably not to be more than ten miles away.
The enemy and our army are already approaching tentatively, and the distance is so close that a war is about to break out.Zhu Gaoxu began to consciously and try his best to gather all the troops in his hands to form the greatest combat power.
...All soldiers gathered inside and outside Longquanyiyi City, and a neat square formation stood on the open space outside the gate, with hundreds of people all being military officers of hundreds of households and above.
There are about 600 regular households and more than 100 deputy households; 11 guard commanders, as well as dozens of people including Tongzhi, Assistant, and politicians.
There were military generals in the army, including general flags, small flags and other officers, more than 60,000 troops, and thousands of military generals were unable to gather to speak up.Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu only summoned more than a hundred military generals.
Many of the generals standing on the open space at this time had no experience in commanding the battle formation. For example, the nearly 400 households inside were just Zhu Gaoxu's personal soldiers and were directly appointed as officers of the hundred households.
Some commanders were promoted by Thousand Households and Thousand Households, and some Thousand Households had only led the 100-man team to fight before.
Because Zhu Gaoxu organized a large number of surrendered soldiers, the army expanded too quickly and the time was too short. For the loyalty of each unit, he replaced most of the surrendered soldiers and generals.
All the generals learned military law and the rules of marching and combat, but they had no experience.
However, they also have some advantages. These people have risen sharply in their military positions and are very passionate. They urgently need to prove that they are competent for high-ranking officials in actual combat. They have a strong desire to fight and drive the morale of various departments to be very high.
The officers of the Daming Guard were hereditary. If a soldier wanted to become a hundred-house officer in the peace period, it would be a leap of level that several generations could not achieve.
It is even more difficult for middle- and low-level officers to be commanders of thousands of households and even guards.
Only in war can military generals have the opportunity to be promoted!
So countless pairs of bright eyes were staring at Zhu Gaoxu, waiting for him to speak very seriously.
Zhu Gaoxu rode on a brown horse. In order to let the people behind him hear it, he had a loud voice, but his tone was not very turbulent. The country of Tianfu in Sichuan had a fertile land of thousands of miles, and there were still many fertile fields left so far.You all returned to the camp to tell the soldiers that if you win, you will be able to seal fertile land and reward treasures in the hinterland of Sichuan. I will never be stingy.
He then said, "The most important thing for you to lead troops to fight is not warfare or martial arts, but martial ethics!"
Those artillery in the distance are just a big battle, and you can't be scared by the momentum.Otherwise, such a cowardly and timid person would not be worthy of commanding the soldiers under his command or being unable to convince the public, which would only make the soldiers laugh at him!Even when the battle is fierce and the casualties are very high, you should follow the military orders above to maintain the backbone and organization that the Han Wang Army should have.Only those who are determined and brave can be respected and praised by their brothers, and can they gain reputation and status for themselves...
All the generals listened to Zhu Gaoxu's lectures, and many people could recite these words because it was not the first time that Zhu Gaoxu said these things in public.
Zhu Gaoxu also ordered: It is forbidden to insult and beat soldiers for no reason, and to cherish soldiers and treat soldiers fairly.Violators will be severely punished and will not lend!The Han King’s Governor’s Office will receive rewards and military salaries. It is strictly forbidden to kill innocent people indiscriminately or loot the people. Violators will be handed over to the ministers and deal with them in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty!
After saying that, Zhu Gaoxu took his personal soldiers and left first and returned to Yicheng.
A general once suggested that Zhu Gaoxu allow the soldiers to burn and kill the city. The Jingnan Army also did it back then, which could make the soldiers more fierce and brave, and vent the anger and depression caused by the difficulties in marching and fighting.
But Zhu Gaoxu refused sternly.
Sometimes he is thinking about people's hearts. Those who have made a lot of money may not necessarily be to repay more; while those who are determined to rob and make money may not necessarily be willing to sacrifice themselves.
The massacre may not really increase morale.
Moreover, burning, killing, looting and robbing in the Ming Dynasty will cause more non-combat problems.
If you lose the people's hearts and encounter spontaneous civilian resistance, it will become increasingly difficult to rule and occupy the occupied areas.
So Zhu Gaoxu thinks that is not a good idea.
The key issue will still make him lose himself.
If even the commander Zhu Gaoxu was lost, can this war be won?
Zhu Gaoxu was very simple in his mind: it was a dark thing, extremely wrong, and completely contrary to his values.
Launching a war for crimes cannot avoid a large number of casualties. It is for self-interest and may not be very noble.
However, Zhu Gaoxu can find reasons for himself, because if he doesn’t fight, he will die!
And there is no excuse to convince people by ensnaring troops to plunder and kill civilians. It is nothing more than indulging in the ugliness and sins in their hearts.
There are all kinds of sins and deceptions in this world, and Zhu Gaoxu may not be able to feel it.
His heart is often filled with anger and anger, and he even has an anti-social psychology when his previous life is difficult.
It’s not that he has no desire to revenge, but...
People often can only vent their innocent and weak people, and they are powerless to do anything about powerful sins.
Such anger is worthless. Those innocent people are not the culprit at all. Thinking that the real bad guys are still proud and do not care how miserable the innocent people are, in the end, I can only feel the powerlessness and helplessness in my heart more deeply.
The world is a Rashomon.
In the post city, Zhu Gaoxu also saw the imperial manifesto that had not had time to tear it away. His elder brother showed how kind he was in the article; at the same time, Zhu Gaoxu's proclamation issued by the Han Palace was posted everywhere.
My legitimate son of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty and his closest relative of the country.
He fought for his father and fought in the north and south, and was invincible and had great military achievements.
So he feuded the vassal states and protected the imperial regime.
The palace suddenly changed, and the traitor in the East Palace plotted to murder my father and wanted to design a murder in the East Palace.
This is a matter of plotting against the king to kill his father and harming his relatives, and it is full of conscience, and both man and gods are angry.
I will punish God to protect the country.
The gods of heaven and earth will reveal my heart.
In the fifth year of Yongle, Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han of the Ming Dynasty.
Who is the sin?I'm afraid we can only use cannons and cavalry to argue on the battle formation, and there is no other way.
...Zhu Gaoxu came to the postmaster's signing room, and sat there and summoned some generals to talk to the scouts and soldiers.
At this moment, a man in a civilian clothes walked to the door of the signing room.Wang Yu?!
Wang Yu was covered in dust. When he came in, he knelt on the ground with his knees and said: I will be humiliated by the mission. Please punish the prince!
Zhu Gaoxu made a move and said: Get up and talk, don’t worry, what’s going on?
Wang Yu said: Two months ago, we arrived in Annan Kingdom, but we didn’t see Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Xincheng.
Zhu Gaoxu frowned, but didn't say anything, just waiting for Wang Yu to finish speaking.
Wang Yu continued: The last general waited outside Zhang Fu's lobby for two hours, but failed to allow him to meet Zhang Fu.Later, Zhang Fu's subordinates directly captured Qian Changshi. Qian Changshi wanted to break into the wall and died, but was taken away by someone and wanted to send it to the capital to present it to the pseudo-emperor!The last general was released, and in desperation he had to return to Yunnan Prefecture, trying to apologize to the prince.
However, when he returned to Yunnan Prefecture, the prince had already led his army to set off.When the last general met Deacon Li of the Governor's Office, he first reported the affairs of Annan Kingdom, and then decided to come to the prince's army to report to the prince.
So the last time he rode a horse along the post road, but learned halfway that the Guizhou official army had blocked the official road.The general was afraid that his identity would be found, so he had to change to the five-foot road. Fortunately, our people still occupied Dousha Pass and other places. The generals, Fang De, entered Sichuan and rushed here all the way.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a while and said: Since Zhang Fu has made up his mind, Qian Xun has no chance to speak, so he has no choice but to do anything.This is no wonder Qian Changshi, let alone his determination to show his ambitions by death at the critical moment is valuable.Wang Baihu is not guilty, you have fulfilled your duties.
Wang Yu was very moved after hearing this. After all, most of the time it was about the results of the results.He hurriedly kowtowed and thanked.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: There is a shortage of middle and senior military generals in the army now. You can promote a thousand households now, and ask Hou Hai to write a letter of appointment and send a general seal to you, and take it to me to sign and detain it.
Wang Yu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: I will promote Prince Xie!
At present, the military generals in the King of Han army were promoted very rapidly. The three commanders of the Guards had been directly promoted to the commander-in-chief, and Chen Dachui, Zhao Ping and others became the commanders of the guards.
Because there is no choice, there are only so many direct military generals, and the military power must be handed over to these people; after all, both sides have something to say about this kind of civil war, and the army is too easy to surrender and turn against.
...The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu issued a central military order.The army did not go to Chengdu Prefecture, but advanced south along the west of the Longquan Mountains.
Zhu Gaoxu could easily judge that if Xue Lu had clear goals, he would definitely have arrived in Chengdu earlier than him.
The composition of the two sides is not very different, and it is mainly composed of the vassal king guards and the guards. Although there are slight differences in the army in different places, the training and marching methods are very similar...
