Chapter 324 Expedition 2
Chapter 324: Going to the Battle 2
At the invitation of Jiang Lang, the third prince and his family went to Jiang Lang's mansion for dinner in the evening. After all, they were about to go to war, which was a bit sad. So when they were talking, they tried to avoid those sad topics and found some happy topics to talk about, so the dinner was also very happy.
After the dinner, the third prince called Jiang Lang alone and said to the study room. The two discussed the matter of going to war. Naturally, they talked about the three issues that Jiang Lang originally thought about. Of course, the third prince also came up with some ideas. Of course, the best way is to force suppress it. After all, it is already a very time now, and there is no time to slowly get started. The time is very tight now, and there is no extra time to do these things. As for someone to study with the emperor, it doesn't matter. Anyway, after the battle, there is no need to be the three armed forces.
The commander, when Emperor Jingtai was unable to sleep or eat, as for the concerns in his heart, Jiang Lang also told the third prince some. Obviously, the third prince also understood this. After all, everyone knows the emperor's temperament. He is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one. So he also suggests not to give any rewards after he comes back and be honest as his own Dongchang Factory Supervisor. Otherwise, it would be like Han Xin. When Liu Bang really had nothing to give him, he was killed. Although it was not Liu Bang who started, he did not blame Empress Lu for this matter at all.
At the same time, the third prince also said another thing, that is, Zhu Yuqi's mourning period is about to end. Of course, he only pointed out the matter. As for how to deal with it, Jiang Lang has to come back from the war.
After seeing off the third prince, it was already deep in the night. When he returned to the room, Zi Ling still did not sleep. Since Jianglang was about to go to war the next day, Zi Ling was also enthusiastic that night and had been entangled with Jianglang for a long time before she fell asleep.
The next day, just as the sky was dawn, Jiang Lang got up and with Zi Ling's help, he put on a set of armor that was more gorgeous than the one given by Yingzong before. After saying goodbye to Zi Ling and others, he set off to the military camp outside the city.
The snow was not very heavy last night, but for the cold north, it was enough to spread the entire land into a silvery white area. Because it was early, there were no pedestrians on the road, Jiang Lang and others left a series of footprints after passing by.
Now when we go to the war, we must choose auspicious times in order to win the lottery. The best auspicious times are noon. One of the reasons why Jianglang went so early is to gather all the generals together, announce new military disciplines, and then let them convey these military disciplines to the soldiers below. At the same time, we must also find out which troops are new soldiers, those are the original veterans, and those are the old and the new.
The capital was particularly quiet in the early morning. Last night's light snow turned the entire capital into white, and the horse's hooves stepped on the snow and made a creaking sound.
When we approached the city gate, a series of horse hoof prints appeared on the road that was supposed to be without traces. It seemed that there were still many people, and the direction led to the city gate.
"Someone left the city so early?"
Jiang Lang couldn't help but mutter in his heart, in terms of horse hoof prints, there are still quite a lot of controls in the capital. There are rules for when the city will be opened and when it will be managed. It really makes people have some doubts when someone leaves the city so early.
But after thinking about it, Jiang Lang couldn't help laughing. He was now the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, and his thoughts occasionally stopped when he was a soldier. He had to doubt these things. Moreover, the most in the capital was dignitaries. Sometimes he left the city early, and the soldiers guarding the city had to give some face, which was not surprising.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Lang and others had already approached the city gate. Sun Yuanbiao next to him suddenly said: "Sir, Lord Yu is at the city gate, probably waiting for you!"
Jiang Lang, who was thinking, was shocked and raised his head to look forward. As Sun Yuanbiao said, Yu Qian and the other adults were waiting at the city gate. Only then did he realize that the footprints just now were the footprints left by Yu Qian and others' mounts.
He quickly got off the horse, Jiang Lang handed the reins to Sun Yuanbiao behind him, and then immediately walked towards Yu Qian, and after walking to him, he bowed: "Mr. Yu!"
Yu Qian replied with a bow, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite early."
Jiang Lang smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Yu is still the same. Besides, today is the day to go to war. I have to meet those adults first. At the same time, I plan to release the new military discipline."
Yu Qian couldn't hide his surprise. It was his own expectation that Jiang Lang met those generals, but he did not expect that the release of new military disciplines. Moreover, the release of military disciplines was a matter of the Ministry of War. Now, although Jiang Lang is the commander, the matter is actually under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. When talking about this military discipline, Yu Qian suddenly remembered and said, "Is the military discipline you mentioned in the first step of the method you wrote to me?"
Jiang Lang nodded, feeling a little helpless. In fact, he thought of this problem at the beginning, but it was obvious that Yu Qian did not pay attention to it. He only valued his own training methods, but ignored the previous military discipline after he improved it. But thinking about it, Jiang Lang could understand Yu Qian. Like the rest of the people, he was eager to need a powerful army to guard the land of the Ming Dynasty, so he focused all his energy on how to train a powerful army, and instead ignored the first military discipline.
After nodding slightly, Jiang Lang said: "Yes, it is precisely those. Although the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty was strict, it was not complete and had many flaws. I discovered it at the beginning. I originally hoped that Lord Yu could implement the new military discipline, but Lord Yu didn't seem to care!"
Yu Qian sighed softly, then shook his head slightly, and said, "Actually, I have thought about it a long time ago, and I have also thought about it. However, in the current situation, it is really not appropriate to implement the new military discipline. It takes a long time to implement the military discipline. The training at that time was very difficult and it is really not appropriate to implement it!"
Jiang Lang was stunned and thought a little, as if Yu Qian had said something reasonable. After thinking about it, he said: "The time should be ripe now, and it is more effective to implement new military disciplines in war than usual."
This time, Yu Qian did not object, but nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day. Fortunately, I came today. Otherwise, if you issue this order, I would probably have many people to object."
"you mean?"
Jiang Lang couldn't help but turn his head and look at Yu Qian, only to see a faint smile on his face.
Yu Qian nodded and said, "I originally said that I would send you to the military camp in person, but it seems that there is no time left. I will go back now and ask the emperor for an order immediately so that the military disciplines you have written can be implemented smoothly. And I also believe that after this battle, our Ming army will definitely be an invincible army!"
A look of yearning appeared on Yu Qian's face, as if he had seen the scene of the Ming army being invincible in the world.
"Thanks!"
Jiang Lang sincerely thanked him, but there was a hint of burden in his heart. In history, Yu Qian's achievements made future generations sigh. To be honest, without Yu Qian, the Ming Dynasty had already destroyed the country when Ye first attacked the capital. For this Zhu Dynasty, Yu Qian was definitely loyal, but in the end he was framed and killed.
Yu Qian didn't know what Jiang Lang was thinking. Hearing that Jiang Lang was so polite, he smiled and said, "Why have you become so polite? You must know that you are helping the Ming Dynasty to conquer the country, and the military discipline you compiled is indeed good, much better than before. Now it is the best time to implement the new military discipline. If you don't do this at this time, what should you stay? I think we will act separately first. I will go to the emperor for an order, and you can go to the military camp first!"
After saying that, he gently patted Jiang Lang on the shoulder and said, "Many of these soldiers are new soldiers, and many of them have never been on the battlefield at all. If possible, try to bring more of them back as much as possible on the premise of victory. It is not easy for ordinary people to have children, and the elderly in their families are still waiting for them to go back to take care of their elderly and see them off.
Yu Qian now seems to be not a noble adult, but an ordinary person’s request for a general who is about to set out on an expedition.
Jiang Lang couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to keep our Ming soldiers back alive. After all, like them, I am also a person with father, mother, wife and son!"
Speaking of his parents, Jiang Lang sighed slightly in his heart. He was born in an orphanage. He didn't know what his parents looked like. Later, he went to the army. The army was his home, and the superior was his parents. Now in the Ming Dynasty, these three princes were his father. As for his wife, Jiang Lang couldn't help but look like Zi Ling and the little guy, as well as Zhu Yuqi and Zi Yu.
After Yu Qian nodded, he went back to ask for an imperial edict, while Jiang Lang and others left the city gate.
The sky was a little gloomy, and the snow that had already stopped was now starting to fall again.
"Sir, it's snowing again!"
Sun Yuanbiao's voice came over.
"yes!"
