How fanatical are the Nine-side War Generals?

Taking Li Chengliang, the general officer of Liaodong, as an example, led his nephew and his subordinates to advance thousands of miles northeast from Liaoyang. This guy spent ten years building the Kuandian Six Forts in Liaodong, and actually occupied 800 miles of land for the Ming Dynasty. This time, he went east to build forts and built six more forts for the imperial court. The war report recently passed back to the capital was that he was repairing the old place of Tashanwei.

General Ningyuan General Zuren was not idle either. He took his son, Deputy General Liaodong, Zu Chengxun, swept across the enemy troops who first surrendered and rebelled, restraining the surrendered troops, which shocked the hearts of all the local troops who wanted to cause chaos.

Tulun City Lord Nikan Wailan has met many border generals and warriors in Liaodong over the years, and intercepted a leader named Atai, the right guard of Jianzhou, who wanted to rebel and took this opportunity to lead the way for the guerrilla general who was eager to make meritorious contributions in Zhenwubao.

This guerrilla name is Tong Yangzheng, who was born in the Liaodong general. His father, Tong Deng, was appointed as the general officer. He practiced literature and martial arts. He was a martial arts Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli.

This Wubao guerrilla was his first official position. He was particularly impatient this time. He left the large army during the march and rushed into the right guard of Jianzhou with only twenty-six brothers. Without a single arrow, the people in the city ran away and surrendered. As soon as he ran to the city's leader Atai, he was killed by his subordinates and offered his head.

Until the imperial court sent him a telegram of promotion and reward for silver, Tong Yangzheng was still in a dream. He might never understand why his twenty-seven people were captured and surrendered more than 1,400 people.

I sent these battle reports to you. What happened happened and I learned everything along the nine sides of the wire for a day. Who can still hold back?

The soldiers and generals in Liaodong Town saw Qi Jiguang leading troops to show their power outside the border, and they could no longer sit still. They all used their ability to fight with their lives. Zu Chengxun had a garrison named Shi Ru, who led 300 cavalry as vanguards to attack the enemy's infantry formation. The three-eyed guns fired and then rushed into the formation.

The troops walked past the formation, and the mounts stumbled and left him, the officer, in the enemy formation. No one knew how this person survived in the enemy formation. Anyway, in the end, the enemy troops lacking decent armor and weapons were disbanded. The master was slumped on the ground and still wielding his sword, wielding his left and right, and shouting for killing himself.

I fought a battle, two of my ribs were broken, my spine was displaced, and I was carried back to the city for the doctor to massage. I don’t know if I could stand up again in this life.

But these things are invisible to others. They can only see the great wind and there is no need to ask who the enemy is, and it is impossible to lose.

If others don't say it, Yang Siwei, the general officer of Jizhen, and Zhang Jue, deputy general of Jizhou Middle Road, were the first to jointly report to ask for a battle. The emperor was not surprised that they asked for a battle. Originally, they should have fought at home, but the court was worried that Qi Jiguang would not be able to defend the defense after he went out of the frontier, and was also afraid that Yang Siwei would be defeated by someone who would come out of the bald man and destroy their morale, so they did not let them go.

It’s not that I underestimated Yang Siwei. The main force of Jizhen who replaced Qi Jiguang’s war is really not good at fighting, but it’s okay to restrict the guards to train troops. In addition, the biggest characteristic is honesty.

I am so honest that I won't run away even if I can't beat it.

In this era, this characteristic basically belongs to the second echelon of the Ming generals. The first echelon is the firefighting captains of the Ming Dynasty. No matter where they fight, they are all their people. They are undoubtedly good generals who can fight steadily against the wind. After all, they are the previous generation. In the previous generation of military generals, they are considered to be a burning incense as long as they run away honestly. More often, they dare not fight or escape. Finally, they bribe the enemy and let Altan rob others of the guard.

That really makes me want nothing.

So even though Yang Siwei's ability is a bit lacking and the court knows this deficiency, no matter whether it is Zhang Juzheng, the emperor, or even the Ministry of War and the Military Preparation, no one has ever said that Yang Siwei is not wrong.

Even when he heard that someone from Mongolia was going to advance, or when Chang Juzheng led his troops to knock on the gate two years ago, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Baoyi thought that Yang Siwei, who was guarding Changping, could not do anything to Chang Ba. What should he do?

Then he transferred Dong Yiyuan, who could fight, to the deputy general of the Chang Town, and Yang Siwei was transferred to the Baoding general, and he would be transferred back after the battle.

Because of his loyalty, he followed the court to transfer his post without complaints and was promoted to a higher level of martial arts honor when he returned.

The more miserable one is Dong Yiyuan. He should have become a general officer in this outspoken place, but he became a deputy general. The blind Changba ran to Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang's defense zone and was captured alive by the two of them. He failed to make any contributions.

Perhaps the biggest advantage is that the war in Shanhaiguan ended and Emperor Wanli approved Dong Yiyuan for two months off, which happened to be close to Xuanfu, so he asked him to go home and rest for two months.

Before the holiday was over, the court began to increase troops to the Xuanda defense line. The emperor placed all the elite soldiers of the Wanli Army under his command.

It was all tears when it was said, but Dong Yiyuan felt comfortable now and brought Wanli army to Guihua City.

But there are many people who are uncomfortable.

Li Chengen, deputy general of Xuanfu Town, took over the defense of Wanli Army after going out of the frontier. When he saw that Yang Siwei, who took over the defense in Jizhou, was about to go to fight, he was not behind, and shouted in a hurry to go to fight.

Guo Hu of Datong Town is also an amazing veteran. Although his light has always been hidden by Ma Fang, he started his business by cleaning up the plundered Tatar cavalry and rebelling Shanxi chieftains. He once advanced to the single army in Laoying Fort, protecting the besieged lonely city, and seizing the enemy's food, grass, cattle and horses and also earning more than a thousand head-level achievements. He was promoted to the left governor and was granted the title of Guanglu Dafu. The emperor granted the title of the descendants of the five generations of hereditary commander.

This old man also wanted to intervene in this grand event, but Emperor Wanli didn't know how to refuse.

Wei Shi, the general general of Shaanxi Town, took a unique approach and knew that the young emperor was very fond of merit. He asked the guerrillas of Guide, located in Tubo, to contact the Uszang chieftain in his guerrilla defense zone to write a long letter to the emperor, asking the knights of Uszang who were riding yaks to come out of the mountain and advance into Hetao. He did nothing himself, so he sent the court a strategic plan to recover Hetao, with clear goals - and then to build a few desert mine pools for the empire from the northwest desert to present to His Majesty.

Compared with the general of Ningxia Town, Niu Bingzhong, who was sealed by the General of the Western Expedition, was much more honest. He didn't send official documents and wrote a private message to the emperor. He was embarrassed: Hetao, the old minister also wanted to go.

This is very important. Niu Bingzhong has been in charge of Ningxia for ten years. He is the only general officer in the Jiubu border town who has never fought in a battle after taking office. Because others heard that he was the one who guarded Ningxia, he did not come to Ningxia. The last time he fought the war was the deputy general of Gushan in Yansui Town. He fought several small battles, with five or six hundred first-level merits, which is not eye-catching in the endless battle reports of the empire.

If you really want to say that it is special, it may be that more than 100 of these five or six hundred primaries were won by him alone.

I read these battle reports all day long. Can Master Wanli not have a big head? He was so angry that he just wanted to lift the table, but the boat was too heavy and could not lift it.

"They all want to send troops, and they all want to send troops, but the morale of the army is available. They do expand their territory, but this is all money. How can I have so much money to make such man-made people like them!"

Wanli was so angry that he purred like an angry cat.

"And this, who is Zhang Chen? I don't even mention my official position, but I also say that I am a criminal minister and want to atone for my sins. What did he do?"

Wanli said that, throwing out a letter from Wang An from the Ministry of War. Wang Anchu was puzzled for a while after receiving the letter, and it took a while before he suddenly realized: "Ah, General Zhang, I remembered it."

"He sang an empty city plan when he was guarding the Xuanfu kitchen fort. In Jiajing, Altan invaded others and sent money, and finally he fought to the castle where he was guarding, which was surrounded by water. He was too young to fight, so he asked the soldiers to drink water and drink in the fort, cheering and singing. More than ten thousand Mengqi outside the city did not know the depth, and dared not attack. He died at night and went to the rear to continue fighting. After the war, he was promoted to the guerrilla general for his merits."

"It's right because of merit."

Wanli thought about it, if others escaped, or bribes, Zhang Chen could continue to fight after he escaped, and he would be able to make a contribution to the brute force.

"Later in the fifth year of Wanli, he became the general officer of Ningxia. In the same year, King Shunyi wanted to support troops to take Helan Mountain. General Zhang refused to let him speak. King Shunyi was not nice. General Zhang was angry and dug the Han and Tang 2 canals, and led his army to station in Chishui to set up a formation... In the next three years, no one dared to make a loud noise in Gong City, Gansu."

Wanli listened to the urge to applaud and said, "Then what crime did he commit?"

"The clerk was impeached and removed from his tedious manner because he was irritated by him."
