Chapter 739 There is only one commander in the army

Everyone was talking about it, and the army still walked out of the frontier.

During the day, all the rituals and etiquettes were done in a noisy manner. After the army passed the tiger's mouth, it was already dark, so it was necessary to camp on the spot.

It will take less than three hours to leave, and the supplies that have just been packed must be laid out according to the regulations. If the common people do this, they will really feel irritated.

Hu Weijun felt very used to it, and the training was like this. After those actual combat, they gradually got used to it. The personal guards surrounded Wang Tong to the high place on the side, watching the army busy in the afterglow of the sunset.

"The governor's face was dark, and he hid in the camp in Ji Town early, something useless!"

Li Hutou said in disgust on the horse and spitted on the ground. Wang Tong shook his head and said with a smile:

"The rules of our Ming Dynasty are that the general civil officials lead the troops, the generals lead the troops, and the military supervise the military. In the same place, Mei Wenjin is the highest official official among civil officials. Of course, he has to follow him. But after being too busy and at the end of the year, he certainly does not want to come out and suffer, but there is a difference between the top and the bottom. Don't be rude to avoid trouble!"

The people around agreed, and Tan Bing, who was beside Wang Tong, looked at Jizhen and said in a deep voice:

"Sir, when I followed the old man, I went to Ji Town to observe the soldiers many times. Now this army is afraid that it will reach the most elite level!"

Li Hutou looked in the direction of Tan Bing, nodded and said:

"I didn't expect that the soldiers and horses in Jizhen would also use chariots as the formation. The soldiers and soldiers, like the men of our Huwei Army, made the rules!"

General Tan and others laughed, and Wang Tong also said with a smile:

"Our Huwei Army's car camp has learned from many methods of Lord Qi's side vans. You also said that it would do it, isn't this a reversal of cause and effect?!"

Everyone laughed out loud, Li Hutou coughed a few times, and after all, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He said, "I'll go down and see them camp." He rode his horse and ran away, and everyone didn't stop him.

Wang Tong did not look at the Hu Wei army, but instead stared at the Yingpan of Ji Town. The Yingpan of Ji Town is in the north and the Hu Wei army is in the south. Looking at this regulation, it is actually the soldiers and horses of Ji Town who are protecting the Hu Wei army. Wang Tong pondered for a moment and said:

"General Tan, next time you set up camp, Huwei Army and Ji Town will support each other. Don't do this today. Although they have 20,000, our firepower is not inferior to Ji Town. Cracking like this will make Ji Town generals have a careless mind!"

General Tan agreed, Wang Tong looked at Jizhen and continued:

"Why do you have to use the troops from Jizhen this time? Tan Bing just said it well. They have been practicing for many years and have reached the strongest level. If you don't need it, you will go downhill next.

After saying this, the atmosphere was a little dull. Wang Tong shook the reins and ran towards Yingpan, saying as he ran:

"The horse team in Datong Town, let them station with the horse team in Ji Town, break up the mixed group, strictly enforce military laws, and kill those who are disobedient!!"

…………

It was dark and the grassland was extremely cold, but the grassland in the north of Datong was not very windy due to the terrain, that is, the foothills between Guihua City and Datong border towns, and there was not much wind.

In Wang Tong's commander's tent, charcoal fire grew in a large copper basin with a diameter of three feet. The charcoal fire was red. Only when it was burned outside were moved in. The huge commander's tent was extremely warm. The generals of the Huwei Army had eaten supper and were talking quietly in the military tent. Yang Jin also led the Qianshang and the Qianshang of the Horse Team from six battalions.

The Jizhen military system is slightly different from other parts of the Ming Dynasty. He has a team of hundreds of people, a team of thousands of people, and a battalion of three thousand people, and a battalion of one thousand people. The Huwei Army is a battalion of the battalion of the battalion, so the regiment general here is about the same level as the regiment general there.

Having said that, although Jizhen Qiang General Manager was in charge of 3,000 and Huwei Legion General Manager was in charge of 1,600, there was a difference between the border town and the imperial guards, not to mention Li Hutou, Tan Bing and others were all personally authorized by Emperor Wanli to be appointed to officials, and this status was far higher.

Wang Tong noticed that when the generals from Ji Town walked into the camp, most of the people frowned when they saw the charcoal basin. The general reason Wang Tong could also think of it, and perhaps he felt that Wang Tong was a little extravagant.

During the march, the weight of the people and horses was limited, and the things they carried must be related to battle. This charcoal pot, that solid wood book case, there are felts laid below, and even teapots and cups placed on the table. It feels like walking out of the battle, and at least you will use copper and iron or wooden cups to drink water. However, there are fine porcelains on this side, which is really ridiculous.

Qi Wu went to dispatch troops, Qi Jiguang had already made arrangements. Jizhen's soldiers knew the purpose of this vocation and were ready for a hard battle. However, seeing Wang Tong so leisurely, he felt awkward. Young senior officials, I don't know what you think of fighting as yourself.

"Please sit down everyone!"

Wang Tong smiled and reached out to ask for help. After the dozen generals of Ji Town saluted, they all sat down. What they thought was the same, but Wang Tong was a man who was a man who intercepted the Tatar army outside the Gubeikou and killed the Tatar army greatly. Everyone in Ji Town knew that it was very simple to distinguish between warriors, and who had a more brilliant result. This was enough to make them look down.

"Now that the army is leaving the border, it is about to stay away from the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Our army is divided into three places, one is the imperial guards, the other is the military force, the other is the military horse, and the other is the cavalry of Datong. Each has its own orders and commanders. If there are military orders and different communications, it will inevitably lead to a potential military opportunity and even cause a major disaster. Since I was ordered by the emperor to govern Datong and supervise the suppression of bandits and pacification, each army should listen to the commanders assigned by me. Do you have any objections?"

After everyone sat down, Wang Tong said this solemnly. This was a matter of course. However, in the Ming Dynasty's previous marches, there were soldiers and horses everywhere who were incompatible with each other, each with a mountain, and military orders were issued, but they could not be fully implemented, or even unable to be implemented. As a result, they were naturally defeated and disbanded, and there was no good ending.

Although Wang Tong had the status of an imperial envoy and the position of governor, he was young and experienced, but those military generals who had been fighting for many years were not convinced.

During the past large army battles, civil officials who led the army often vaguely explained the matter, and had no idea about the conflicts and contradictions below, and even had to mediate in the center and surrender privately. However, Wang Tong did not handle it this way and raised it straightforwardly.

Li Hutou, Tan Bing and his whole family stood up and bowed, and said:

"Military orders are like mountains, and we dare not ignore them easily, but we follow the command of the commander."

With the command of all the armies, Wang Tong has the identity of the governor and the imperial envoy, and he can indeed deserve the title of the commander. Yang Jin, the deputy general who guarded the West Road in Jizhen, turned around and exchanged glances with the Qianmen. He looked at Qi Wu bent beside Wang Tong, and he bowed and said:

"But with the command of the Grand Marshal!"

The 1,900 cavalrymen in Datong Town were led by a guerrilla commander named Ma Yong. This man was originally a soldier of the Ma family, and now he is also called Ma Dong as the Young Master and Ma Fang as the Master.

He was earlier than Li Hutou and the others who bowed down. Before Ma Yong came, he listened to Ma Dong's instructions. Ma Dong said it was true:

"I am not as good as my second brother. I'm afraid there will be no great future in the future. I'm afraid that you and me are the same. But now there is a chance. Lord Wang is not ordinary. As long as you can follow Lord Wang, we will not have to worry about the future. Use these personal guards, Lord Wang, as long as you use them, you can use them as you want. Don't feel sorry for them, don't be afraid of death. As long as Lord Wang treats us as your own family, everything will be easy to say in the future!!"

Ma Fang, the two sons of the Xuanfu general, Ma Linsu, said that he was a talented general. He is currently serving as the deputy general in Liao Town. Ma Dong was originally just a general. Datong was extremely turbulent because of the turmoil in the case of Yongsheng Botong's enemy, so he took a loophole and climbed up. Both of them were deputy generals of the border town, but the value of this was very different.

Ma Fang gave two thousand personal soldiers to his family. Ma Fang gave them two sons. The people below all thought that following Ma Lin to Liao Town Weida and following Ma Dong to Datong was unlucky. Ma Yong naturally knew that Ma Dong said such words.

The generals in the tent were all convinced. Wang Tong and Cai Nan, who was sitting next to him, looked at each other, nodded, and Wang Tong smiled again and said:

"Now we can still see the side walls. When we camp tomorrow, even if we are alone outside the border, the enemy's land is full of dangers. Only when we are united can we return in triumph."

While speaking, everyone sat down again, and introduced the generals of Jizhen, Huwei Army and Datong Town to each other. Wang Tong said:

"I am the chief general, Yang Jin is the deputy general, and Jizhen infantry team. The official ordered that Yang Jin conveyed that the Huwei Army and the various military and horse teams were directly under the jurisdiction of the officer. There will be bronze plaques and flags for various places later, and they will be implemented immediately!"

Just now, Wang Tong's position as the leader was clear, and this arrangement was reasonable. Everyone bowed to the order. Zhang Jia, the Qiang General of the Jizhen Horse Team, was a short and strong man around forty years old. He had a calm expression. Ma Sanbiao, who was also the commander of the Horse Team, was sitting opposite him. Zhang Lei couldn't stand it.

Because although Ma Sanbiao was a grown man and was in the military affairs office, he looked listless and even yawned twice. Thinking about the impression when he came in, the Huwei Army and his team were too frivolous. Such a person and such a military general could fight hard battles. Fortunately, General Qi still placed his hope on them.

"There are so many detectives on the grassland, and it is probably even more so on the side of the killing tiger's mouth. Tonight, everything will be compared with the war. Each battalion arranges sentry soldiers at night and does not neglect them. The horse team also line up after shifts. Lou Jian will scatter it. If an enemy detective is approaching, you can kill them."

These are all regular arrangements. When everyone withdraws, Yang Jin stays. Wang Tong is silent for a while and says:
Chapter completed!
