Chapter 251
Fortresses are often breached from the inside.
Unlike Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Liu Zeqing, and more than 90% of the Ming Dynasty at this time, the army built with war soldiers as the skeleton, Xu Changqing's model army, although it has not yet truly divided the fields, it is a real garrison!
Because more than 90% of the families of these soldiers are under Xu Changqing's control.
The biggest difference between the soldiers and the stationed soldiers is that the soldiers are "joining the soldiers and raising wages" and earning this life-long money. Their family is not necessarily controlled by the general.
This means that if someone offers a higher price or encounters huge difficulties, many things are not controlled by the main general.
Having said that.
In fact, the core military system of the Ming Dynasty at this time was still the military system!
Because the core theme of this war skeleton requires the servants of the generals to maintain, lead, comfort and suppress!
And these servants are basically the main generals stationed troops.
At this time, the real main combat troops of the Ming Dynasty were stationed. Apart from Xu Changqing, there were probably only the Wu family and Zu family in western Liaoning.
This is also why Zu Dashou and his son and brothers could last for so long in Jinzhou? When the Qing army entered the pass, Wu Sangui could play the core role of establishing the tripod.
Everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, a community of interests, so they will naturally work together.
At this time, because he controlled the families of the model army soldiers, and Xu Changqing's huge reputation and influence, the model army's structure is relatively complete and close to the modern army. Xu Changqing is still relatively at ease with the internal forces.
But human nature is the most complex thing in the world.
If you are not afraid of ten thousand in this kind of thing, just be afraid of if you are in such a situation. Xu Changqing will naturally increase his control in this regard.
As long as the internal situation can be stabilized, with the scale of Xu Changqing's food and military posture reserve at this time, Xu Changqing is completely worthy of the refugee army that does not have heavy firearms such as red cannons outside!
...
In the morning, Xu Changqing visited various stations in the position one by one, went deep into the grassroots soldiers, chatted with them, solved their difficulties, and stood up to feel the state of the army.
After lunch, Xu Changqing also began to focus on Hu Zhenwu and his group outside to check.
They were all very tired at this time, and most of them were huddling in the trenches to make up for their sleep. There were only a few people on duty, and a few were still trying to chat with the model soldiers near them.
Everything looks very normal.
This also made Xu Changqing relax a little. As long as these people don’t act evil, Xu Changqing will definitely not target them and let these people get out sooner.
Of course, the vigilance that should be needed is certainly indispensable.
At this point, Xu Changqing was not at ease with any part of the Ming army.
The afternoon time was calm.
At this time, the refugee army had completely occupied the initiative in the Zhuxian Town area. Many hungry cannon fodders were fed in groups, searching for the battlefield over and over again, trying to make some money, and sometimes fighting was happening, which was no different from ants passing through the border.
Xu Changqing's mentality has completely calmed down.
Although the Model Army was alone at this time, it was well-off at the right time, place and people, and was backed by Shahe. It was really irreversible until the end was really irreversible, and Xu Changqing would never give up easily.
In the evening, Xu Changqing was having dinner with Chuxue and Zuo Mengmei, and Hu Zhenwu's group of people finally threw out the tricks!
Zhao Zengjin came here to report to Xu Changqing in person: "Master, those people don't want to leave tonight, they want to leave tomorrow morning. I guess they must have a problem!"
Xu Changqing also frowned and thought for a while and said, "What reason did they use?"
Zhao Zengjin sneered: "They think it will rain tonight, and it is dangerous to leave at night. The general, should you be humble and take action first, and you will have all these miscellaneous things!"
Because of Xu Changqing's reminder, Zhao Zengjin took preconceived ideas and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that these people were disliked.
Xu Changqing thought for a while and shook his head, "After all, they are my Ming army, so you can't rashly increase gold. Thank you for your hard work tonight, watch it for me! If they want to do it, they must choose the second midnight or dawn! Let the children take the turn to rest and make sure they are energy. I will also stare tonight!"
"yes!"
...
Zhao Zengjin left, Xu Changqing summoned Xu Xiu again, and Zhang Dagong generals held a short meeting to warn the defeated soldiers.
This also made Xu Xiu and others instantly feel energetic and fighting spirit.
Soon, the entire model army position began to be frequently mobilized secretly, like a huge monster, beginning to enter orbit.
At the beginning of the Hai hour, at about nine o'clock in the evening, a few lightning flashed across the sky, and then a rumbling thunder arrived and it started to rain.
The rain is not small, and Hu Zhenwu's defeated soldiers began to make trouble again and asked for a shelter from the rain.
Zhao Zengjin definitely refused to give it to him, and there was a quarrel between the two sides.
Xu Changqing was watching from Chuxue and Zuo Mengmei at this time. After thinking for a while, he asked Zhao Zengjin to provide them with some pine branches and let them build the shed by themselves.
This also brought Xu Changqing's vigilance to the peak!
I don't know when the rain will stop.
Even if the rain stops, many of the Model Army's firearms will be affected in this humid weather. In other words, once these people make trouble tonight, the soldiers of the Model Army are likely to have to fight with them!
But they are not hungry cannon fodders of the refugee army, but are all elite!
After thinking for a while, Xu Changqing asked someone to call Zhang Dagong and Li Zhu again and whispered in a low voice.
Both of them were a little confused, but they quickly reacted and quickly went to work.
Xu Changqing also took Chuxue and Zuo Mengmei back to the high viewing platform on the top of the mountain, and looked down at the foot of the mountain surrounded by the flames.
After Hu Zhenwu and his friends got the pine branches, they soon began to build shacks in the trench. Because of the barrier of the earthen wall, although Xu Changqing did not see it in detail at this time, he vaguely saw that many of their pine branches had crossed the earthen wall.
Obviously, they built the shed very high!
In this way, if they build any auxiliary facilities under the shed, the model military men on the earthen wall will not be able to see it.
However, even if they set up a shed and there were no drainage channels in the trench, they would inevitably soak in the water tonight, and they would still be cursing.
But what these people did not notice was that Zhang Dagong and Li Zhu and others also began to build sheds in the model army positions behind the earth wall.
In this kind of noise mixed with thunder, time quietly came to midnight.
Chuxue and Zuo Mengmei are girls after all and are already tired, but Xu Changqing doesn't leave, and they don't want to leave, they want to accompany Xu Changqing in their way.
Especially Zuo Mengmei, the eyes that looked at Xu Changqing were filled with difficult to describe.
At this time, she finally understood why Xu Changqing was so old that she had reached this terrifying position.
He almost always takes care of many affairs in the camp, but he is never arrogant and has always left a lot of room for his subordinates.
Moreover, Xu Changqing had almost no airs and could even call out the names of many ordinary soldiers.
Zuo Mengmei grew up with Zuo Liangyu since she was a child. She is not an ordinary girl who has seen the world. She naturally understands how different Xu Changqing's method is from her father Zuo Liangyu.
It is no exaggeration to say that this army is completely in the hands of this man!
At this time, even if they were few, they were alone.
But if the refugee army wants to get a bargain from Xu Changqing and the Model Jun, it may not be easy!
Seeing that there were already many places on the two girls wet by the rain, Xu Changqing touched their pretty faces separately, and found that they were all a little cold. He smiled and said, "Sister, Mengmei, you guys go back and rest first. I'll see someone to go to the river to catch some fish, let's get some fresh fish."
Chuxue has been in a prosperous situation these days and is not in good condition. In addition, her hostility towards Zuo Mengmei has also dissipated a lot.
After all, Zuo Mengmei is also a poor person. She seems noble, but she is completely incomparable to her.
Xu Changqing's attitude towards her also made her understand a lot. Many times, Xu Changqing often has no choice but to do so.
He smiled and said, "Changqing, you should go to bed early too. I'll make it for you if you want to eat tomorrow."
"casual."
Xu Changqing smiled and pinched Chuxue's face, and then kissed her red lips hard in front of Zuo Mengmei: "Get a good rest and put your heart in your stomach."
Chuxue's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly carried an umbrella and left first.
However, Zuo Mengmei did not leave, but bit her red lips hard and looked at Xu Changqing pitifully. Although she had not said anything, she had already expressed her actions that she would be with Xu Changqing tonight.
Xu Changqing smiled, but didn't say anything, and tacitly agreed to Zuo Mengmei.
Xu Changqing's big tent was not far from the high platform. When he saw Chuxue returning to the camp by the fire, Xu Changqing then withdrew his gaze.
Immediately, I turned around and put out several fires on the platform, leaving only a soil brazier in the corner, and said to Zuo Mengmei with a smile: "Go there and roast the fire. If you are frozen here, it will be a big trouble. Go and get some ginger soup tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Zuo Mengmei's pretty face turned red, and she didn't refute anymore. She went to the brazier to cook the fire. Then she looked at Xu Changqing's tall back, not knowing what she was thinking about.
At this time, the noise at the foot of the mountain had stopped, and the camp was very calm. Hu Zhenwu and his group were not stupid and would not keep consuming their energy.
And Xu Changqing can basically make a complete judgment that these people must be making trouble!
Because even if they cleaned the rainwater in the trench at this time, the wetness was still inevitable.
The trench is not like the model army positions, with all kinds of drainage facilities.
And they have basically slept for a day, and they can still fall asleep in this environment, or keep quiet, which is obviously abnormal!
Things in the world are impermanent and there will be demons!
Xu Changqing had to admire the mind of the person who came up with this method of raid for a moment, which was a bit too poisonous!
Even before the situation was clear, Xu Changqing did not dare to commit suicide and in the Ming army uniform, so that he could make a peaceful layout!
However, even if it is confirmed, Xu Changqing does not plan to deal with them now!
No surprises.
Even if there are traitors from the Ming army, these people will definitely be the main force of the old camp of the refugee army, and they will definitely have a backup plan behind them!
This is also a severe test for the model military men!
If we can withstand the vicious plans of the elite old battalion soldiers, the combat power and experience of the model military officers and soldiers will definitely be improved.
Xu Changqing has basically handled the subsequent layout. Even if the outposts really cannot stop the sharpness of the refugee army, he can quickly retreat into the more solid central camp to continue defending.
Xu Changqing also needs to take this opportunity to let Li Zicheng and others understand what it means to have greater hope and greater disappointment!
Next to it, after a while, Zuo Mengmei's face had improved a lot. Suddenly, she laughed and thought of something, "Master, I'll prepare for a late-night snack."
After saying that, he was like a lively deer, and soon ran off the platform.
Xu Changqing looked at her graceful back, smiled slightly, and then focused her attention in the darkness in front of the camp.
Chapter completed!
