Volume Two, Chapter 93, Two Qi
The angry hair rushes to the crown, and the rain stops when the railings are on the railings.
Looking up, whistling to the sky, with a strong heart.
When Yang Cong received the imperial edict, he could only whistle to the sky. Jiajing actually asked him to arrange everything quickly and return to Beijing to report his life!
He didn't know what Yan Song had talked with Jiajing, but he only knew that Yan Song wrote "A arrogant soldier will be defeated" on his memorial. Then, Jiajing consulted Yan Song for a while, and then the imperial edict to call him back to Beijing was issued.
What does "a arrogant army will be defeated" mean? Can he not know the strength of the Tartars?
The reason why he was able to lead his army to win successive victories was mainly because of his advantages in weapons and equipment. Because the chariots and hot weapons were the nemesis of the cavalry. Once the war started, the Tartars would only be crushed.
This is the manifestation of the replacement of hot weapons and cold weapons as the dominance of the battlefield, and it has nothing to do with whether arrogance or not.
Yan Song actually said that he "a arrogant soldier will be defeated"!
Jiajing actually believed Yan Song’s nonsense!
Are you, as an emperor, can you have some of your own opinions? If you hear Yan Song fooling around the military and national affairs that are related to the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, can you be more stupid?
This time, he was angry again by Jiajing.
His mood was like Yue Fei at the time. He was about to attack Huanglong, but was recalled by the court. The more he was frustrated, the more he felt, the more he felt.
Will the next script be Fengboting?
Will Yan Song be ready to kill him with a "false" unjust killing?
He was not worried about this.
Yan Song, he doesn't have this ability yet.
This guy will just fool Jiajing to achieve his dirty goal.
When it comes to the arrogance of the enemy, he actually used Yan Song, so Yan Song was fooled by his concessions and directly dealt with Xia Yan.
Therefore, when it comes to tricks, he is not afraid of Yan Song.
He was just purely angry, he was angry with Jiajing and Yan Song even more angry with him.
Yan Song, are you seeking death?
Well, I will go back to Beijing and kill you first!
Yang Cong did not make any comments in vain. After receiving the imperial edict, he began to arrange the aftermath.
The troops in each border town were discharged to 10,000, which was a requirement mentioned in both imperial edicts and was also his most troublesome problem.
Because the main force of the Tartars did not suffer much damage, the 10,000 border troops guarded the defense line of more than a thousand miles in each town, which was really too few. If you are not careful, you will be broken through by the Tartars.
He had no good idea about this problem, so he could only leave all 40,000 Southeast Army in Hetao to rest and recuperate to deal with the Tatars' raids, and then try to strengthen the defense capabilities of each border town.
Anyway, the issue of the Southeast Army was not mentioned in the imperial edict. Even if Yan Song mentioned this issue through Jiajing's mouth after returning to Beijing, he would still argue with reason.
No matter how confused Jiajing is, he cannot give up the Northwest Defense Line to the Tartars in vain!
As for how to strengthen the defense of each border town, he can only try his best to make use of the advantages of thermal weapons.
Generally speaking, it is to build more arrow towers at important junctions, try to make use of the range advantage of thermal weapons to deter the enemy and make the enemy discourage.
At this time, the Arrow Tower was actually equivalent to the bunkers of later generations, which means building a tower higher than the ground or city walls, increasing the advantage of range, allowing people to hide inside and shoot outside.
This thing is most suitable for defense, because the number of muskets in the border army is amazing at this moment, and there are also thunderstorms. Even if only ten people are sent to guard an arrow tower, it can form huge lethality, and even hundreds of Tartars can't conquer it.
In other words, as long as hundreds of such arrow towers are built at a gate, even tens of thousands of Tartars cannot be defeated.
As for the turret, it is better to understand it. It is roughly a platform equivalent to a cannon cart. The cannons can be installed on them and can adjust the angle. At this time, the number of artillery in the border army is also quite large, and it can be scattered to various passes, and there can be dozens or hundreds of them.
Moreover, Yang Cong was ordering arsenals to cast a thousand-pound giant cannons to deal with the intensive charges of the Tartars.
Such giant cannons can be terrified by terrorizing more than ten gates at each pass.
You should know that the shells of a thousand-pound giant cannon are not comparable to those of a tiger squat cannon. One cannon is a human-shaped blood trough, which can kill and injure more than ten people at will. If it happens to hit the enemy's dense area, it is not impossible to kill and injure dozens of people.
After the defensive facilities are arranged, the personnel are arranged.
Tang Kekuan was still left in Shaanxi to command the three towns in Shaanxi to garrison the three towns in Shanxi, and Yang Cong handed over to veteran Zhang Da. As for Yu Dayou, Yang Cong asked him to stay in Hetao to train 40,000 Southeast Army and ready to support the six towns in the northwest at any time.
At this moment, the six towns in the northwest have almost formed a whole. Except for the relatively remote Ganzhou Town, the other five border towns have basically been connected by railways. As long as the information is transmitted quickly enough, timely support can still be achieved.
After everything was arranged, he recruited Yu Dayou, Tang Kekuan and Zhang Da to the temporary headquarters and explained it carefully.
Since he was about to leave the northwest, the atmosphere was once quite depressing. Except for him giving some instructions to the map from time to time, the other three generals basically didn't speak much.
They couldn't understand why the court suddenly transferred Yang Cong away. You should know that the battle to deal with the Tartars has just begun. If you don't take advantage of the victory and beat the Tartars down in one fell swoop, and instead recall the head coach back to the capital. Is there any problem?
Jiajing's approach is really incomprehensible, just like Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty insisted on recalling it, which is simply inexplicable.
Yang Cong did not explain the reason in detail to them, because the struggle in the court was too dirty, and speaking it would only make them angry. After he explained the defenses of Shaanxi and Shanxi Bian Towns, he solemnly said to Yu Dayou: "Zhifu, Changsheng and Xueshan are the main defenses, and you are the main attacks. I guess it will be difficult for the Tatars to organize large-scale attacks in the past two years. After all, it takes time for their migration and stability. During this period, you cannot let them live comfortably. You must take the initiative to prevent them from peace."
When Yu Dayou heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Didn't the imperial court mean that he should stop when he is ready? If I attack the Western Talk without authorization, Yan Song may have to make a big fuss again?"
Yang Cong said indifferently: "You can say you are practicing. After all, forty thousand troops gather here, you can't eat and sleep every day. You must have the necessary exercises. However, your way of training is to go to the edge of the Tartars and practice in practice."
practice?
Well, this reason is barely a matter of fact. After all, he just went up to harass the Tartars, not really launched a full-scale attack.
Yu Dayou nodded slowly and said, "Well, I understand, don't worry, as long as I have time, I will practice well, and I will ask the Tartars to taste the taste of being frequently invaded."
Yang Cong nodded slightly and then explained: "Since you are going to invade, you naturally have to grab something. Zhifu, remember, don't let go of any cattle, sheep and horses when you see cattle, sheep and horses, grab all of them back. Anyway, there is a forage grass in Hetao, and no matter how many cattle, sheep and horses are raised, it's okay. As for the herdsmen of the Tartar, try not to hurt them, and keep them for Altan's sweat to get a headache."
His move was really a bit poisonous. He only robbed other people of cattle, sheep, horses, and not people. This is to make the Tartars famine!
