The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 67 Yutailing was defeated!

Dongguanting camp.

The soldiers are conducting drills in an orderly manner.

Because Tang Hao took the lead in establishing his authority, Xu Jin, the associate minister, and Wei Bin, the eunuch overseeing the gun, were both honest and honest. All the corruption and ugliness in the regiment camp were wiped away.

Although the current Dongguanting New Army only has a flower display, even this flower display has surpassed most of the Ming Dynasty's garrison troops.

Because in the new Dongguanting army, the words of Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, were the rules, and the problem of military service in the capital camp was completely eliminated. At least no one dared to send these 50,000 soldiers under Tang Hao's nose. Build his house!

If there really was such a person, Tang Hao wouldn't mind stabbing him to death with a halberd!

The main training matters of the new army are handled by Tang Mu and Guo Xun. After two serious generals, they are not too familiar with the training in the army.

As for Tang Hao, the new army admiral, he is only responsible for one thing, and that is disciplinary issues!

The rules are strictly enforced and the laws are strict!

No one dares to disobey an order!

Any iron army from ancient times to the present has strict discipline and military orders!

As soon as Xu Jin walked into the handsome tent and saw Tang Hao's face as gloomy as water, his heart suddenly jumped.

Throughout the dynasties, private possession of armor was strictly prohibited.

"Today, less than 40% of the 50,000 soldiers are armored, and most of them are subordinate generals. The remaining sergeants who are lucky enough to have armor only wear thin armor. This cannot continue!"

"General, is this...useful?"

"I only give you one day!" Tang Hao shouted coldly: "Whether it's Li Dongyang behind you or Liu Jian behind the Korean language!"

Therefore, the armor coverage rate represents the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in a sense.

You must know that this new army is the final fighting strength of the Beijing army!

The history books describe it as "unprecedented since the war disaster (referring to the Tumu Fort incident) in the past year".

"Marquis Zhongshan, what does this mean?"

Yutailing is located in Zhangjiakou. It was an ancient strategic fortress and a must-have for military strategists. In order to control this military pass, the Ming army built a military fort named Xinhekou Fort to station troops and equipped it with advanced firearms for defense.

Tang Hao looked at Xu Jin with a smile.

Tang Hao cursed mercilessly. If it weren't for Xu Jin's fault, he would really want to beat this guy up.

However, the final result was that the Ming army suffered seven or eight thousand casualties, and all military supplies were lost. Generals Zhang Xiong and Mu Rong also died on the battlefield, ending with a tragic defeat for the Ming army.

"Now it seems that Mr. Xu's choice is very disappointing!"

"I will tell Da Sima these words unchanged. As for the money, food and soldiers, please wait patiently, Marquis Zhongshan!"

Armor coverage rate is a very important indicator for ancient soldiers.

Tang Hao touched his chin and fell into deep thought, then ordered someone to escort Xu Jin, the associate minister and civil servant.

To give you the simplest example, the biggest difference between having armor and not having armor is that if someone cuts you, it will only leave some sparks on the armor, but if you cut someone with a knife, you will see blood with the sword and flesh with the sword!

When Tang Mu and An Guo heard this, a glint flashed in their eyes.

"What do you mean?" Tang Hao smiled, "Where is Qianliang Bingjia?"

Hearing these threatening words, Xu Jin could only bow his hands and leave.

"Don't worry, His Majesty has money now, let him turn it into salt and cash it quickly!"

"Xu Shilang, when the Tatars march to Datong in the Xuanfu next time and want to directly tear through the Xuanda defense line and approach the capital, what should your military department do?"

"The Minister of Household Affairs, Han Wen, is Lord Yuanfu's confidant. There is nothing I can do about it!"

Wei Bin was dumbfounded when he heard this. How could he have such ability?

Although this secret is the same as saying it or not!

Korean!

"Are you, the ministers of the Ministry of War, going to charge into the battle with their swords in person, or are you asking His Majesty the Emperor to immediately go south to escape from trouble?"

But on this day, Tang Mu, the chief steward of the military camp, found Tang Hao with a slightly ugly expression.

In the fifth year of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Xiaozong had just arrived in heaven, and the little Tatar prince led his army to invade the Ming Dynasty border from Xinhekou in the north of Wanquan.

"Within one day, if I don't see the money, food, soldiers and armor, I will personally come to ask for it. Don't blame me for being ruthless at that time!"

"Wei Dajue, go back and urge your majesty to send money, food and soldiers over quickly. The new army will not be able to uncover the pot!"

Commander-in-Chief Zhang Jun, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Bai Yu, Guerrilla General Zhang Xiong, and Staff General Li Ji stationed at Xinhekou Fort and Xinkai Fort respectively blocked the enemy forces. Datong Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang Zhen and Guerrilla General Mu Rong hurriedly led heavy troops. reinforce.

In order to show sincerity, Xu Jin had to tell a secret.

Tang Hao smiled and cursed angrily: "What? Your Ministry of War also doesn't want to see this new army?"

After hearing these words, Xu Jin was stunned, and then took a deep look at Tang Hao.

"I remember that I told you before to let you think about it!"

That's right, they were escorted over!

An Guo and Chang Kuohai took action together and forcibly brought the Minister of War here.

After learning about this, Wei Bin dared to enter the palace.

The old chief assistant Liu Jian!

"You are a minister of the Ministry of War after all, so you can't stand up?"

"It's useless!" Tang Hao replied with a cold face, "But we must let these civil servants and gentry see our attitude!"

It seems that the civil servants and gentry have finally taken action. They still cannot tolerate it. The little emperor is in charge of a 50,000-strong iron army with considerable combat power!

"Marquis Zhongshan, I understand."

Tang Mu looked at Tang Hao worriedly, the implication behind his words was obvious.

"If they really dare not to hand over the money, food and soldiers, I will really dare to cause a scene and take the opportunity to clean up these self-righteous dogs!"

"A bunch of ignorant people really think that if the Tatars come once, they won't come again a second time?"

Tang Hao wanted to embed discipline into the blood and soul of every soldier under his command!

Otherwise, no matter how hard they train, these 50,000 new troops will all be just a mob!

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the officers and soldiers of the new army became more and more familiar with each other, and became more and more accustomed to obeying and executing the general's orders.

"Marquis Zhongshan, no one can get money, food, and armor without Lord Yuanfu's order!"

The battle of Yutailing was actually a military trial in which the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars each invested tens of thousands of troops. The little prince of the Tatars just wanted to see how much combat power the Ming Dynasty still had after its border preparations were depleted!

In order to maintain the Xuanda defense line and prevent the Tatar cavalry from moving further south, the Ming Dynasty paid a heavy price of 8,000 casualties. However, countless people, livestock, and materials were robbed. In the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty could be said to have withstood another A disastrous failure!

To put it bluntly, this tragic defeat at Yutailing has completely torn away the fig leaf of the poverty and weakness of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows that this so-called Celestial Kingdom is no longer good!

"General, we don't have much money and food, and the soldiers and armor are still not in place."

Tang Hao, on the other hand, ordered the eunuch Wei Bin, who was still smiling.

"Have you forgotten the lesson of Yutailing's defeat so quickly?"

When the battle of Yutailing was mentioned, Xu Jin also looked ugly.

After he left, Tang Mu looked at Tang Hao.

Why?

Because of a set of armor, an ordinary farmer can transform into a god of war.

"Since the little Tatar prince dared to go south once and tested the reality of the Ming Dynasty's border troops, he will definitely do it again!"

Nowadays, the 50,000 new troops cannot even wear 40% of the armor. It is indeed too ridiculous.

Xu Jin was startled when he heard this, and then sighed.

Tang Hao, on the other hand, dragged his chin and fell into deep thought.

The old chief assistant Liu Jian!
