Daming pirates

In terms of building an army, this is very different from Xiaotian and Sun Yuanhua. Although Sun Yuanhua also insisted on building a well-equipped army, he invited many Portuguese to help him serve as instructors and carry out training for his soldiers.

Drilling, but Sun Yuanhua forgot one thing, that is, military discipline.

In order to win over the hearts and minds of his soldiers and generals, Sun Yuanhua has always been relatively lax in controlling military discipline. He seriously ignored that the most basic thing about a strong army is not the equipment, but military discipline!

From the beginning to the end, Sun Yuanhua only cared about equipment and training, but was very lax about military discipline control. This also planted a time bomb for the rebel rebellion.

In addition, Sun Yuanhua also seriously ignored the training of middle-level officers and high-level officers. He only thought that Kong Youde and his old Dongjiang troops and the Liaodong Han people who had fled from Liaodong were tough by nature and good at fighting and brave, but he ignored their loyalty training, which made these rebels

In the end, all the soldiers responded to the call and became traitors.

But Yu Xiaotian is different from him. Although Yu Xiaotian also advocates arming his soldiers with the most advanced weapons, when it comes to dealing with the most basic military discipline issues, he insists from beginning to end that the discipline of the army should be placed first.

The most important position is that only an army with truly strict military discipline can become a strong army.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian attaches great importance to the training of officers, especially in terms of loyalty. No matter who you are, no matter how capable you are, if your loyalty is not good, then I'm sorry, there is no place for you in Yu Jiajun, and you will be ostracized sooner or later.

go out.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian attaches great importance to the training of mid-level officers. Whenever a group of mid-level officers are promoted, they must be individually trained in depth. Even short training must be carried out. Among daily training, the most important thing is to cultivate loyalty.

, brainwash them and plant the seeds in their hearts that are only loyal to him.

This is also the main reason why Yu Xiaotian's troops have been invincible in all battles over the years. Even if we take away all their cannons and sharp rifles and only give them some of the simplest and most primitive weapons, Yu Xiaotian

Xiaotian also believed that his soldiers and horses were still a great army, and the same enemies were still no match for him in front of his troops.

This is also the source of his confidence. It is not just that he can make various advanced weapons at hand. Talents are crucial. This is the biggest difference between the Yu Jiajun and other armies. It is also why the Yu Jiajun is better than other armies.

The key to fighting.

After Xiong Wencan received Yu Xiaotian's assurance, he felt much better, so he and Yu Xiaotian exchanged cups and drank for a while. However, considering that this was after all, this was in front of the two armies' formation, the two of them just drank lightly and did not drink.

He started drinking and saw Zhu Dadian's face looking tired. After drinking a few drinks, Yu Xiaotian stood up and left, asking Zhu Dadian to take a rest early. Tomorrow, he would be in charge to make arrangements to start the battle with the rebels, so Zhu Dadian

He also happily sent Yu Xiaotian out of his tent.

Looking at Yu Xiaotian's back as he got on his horse and left, Zhu Dadian smacked his lips, shook his head slightly and said to himself: "This Yu Xiaotian is really a general! It's a pity that he can only be used by me for the time being!"

What a pity!"

An aide who followed Zhu Dadian, after hearing Zhu Dadian's words, whispered: "Master Futai! Since you value this person so much, why don't you find a way to keep him?"

Zhu Dadian turned around and took his staff back to the tent, ordered people to remove the food and wine, shook his head and said: "This Yu Xiaotian is not a person that anyone can control. His family business is all in Fujian, and he came to Denglai this time.

Countering the rebellion is already very valuable! But if anyone wants to keep him, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to get help, but the opposite may also lead to catastrophe!

Yu Xiaotian has a rebellious nature and acts unscrupulously. Only Xiong Wencan trusts him so much that he can get his help. It would be impossible for anyone else to make him obey orders like this!

I don’t ask for much blessing, but I hope he can lead troops to help me put down this chaos this time, and I will be satisfied. As for leaving him behind, don’t even think about it! In that case, I’m afraid he will just stay.

A calamity without any help at all!"

After hearing this, the staff immediately understood Zhu Dadian's thoughts. Yu Xiaotian was a pirate and was rumored to have returned from overseas. He must not have much loyalty to the emperor in his heart. The reason why he came here to quell the chaos this time was

It should be for Xiong Wencan's sake. His family fortune is said to be as rich as any other country in Fujian, and overseas Taiwanese members also occupy a piece of land on the island. I'm afraid no one would agree to stay in Shandong, drink from the northwest wind, and serve the country.

Be loyal.

Early the next morning, the officers and soldiers from all walks of life came out of the camp and began to line up outside the camp. The sound of war drums, cannons, and horns rang out. Among the troops, swords and guns were unsheathed, and flags were fluttering. At first glance, it seemed like something strange.

The momentum is majestic and murderous.

According to Zhu Dadian's order on the first day, the army was divided into two groups: Shandong soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers were on the west road, while Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers and Wang Hong's Sichuan soldiers were on the south road, splitting into two groups and heading towards the rebel camp.

Forced towards the camp.

After Kong Youde heard this, he gritted his teeth and immediately ordered the whole army to go to war. Now his idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the main force of the official army to eat the Fujian soldiers and horses has been completely shattered. Now the official army has gathered in Laizhou and made it clear.

If the chariots and horses want to fight him to the death, either he will kill these officers and soldiers again, or the officers and soldiers will defeat them and relieve the siege of Laizhou.

But Kong Youde knew very well the importance of this battle to them. Now the court obviously no longer considered surrendering to him, and began to adopt a tough policy and sent several groups of officers and soldiers to conquer them. If this battle

If he loses, the rebels' sphere of influence will be extremely compressed back to the Dengzhou area. With their current resources, it will be impossible to resist the imperial court for a long time.

Therefore, he must not be defeated. He must win this battle. If the Laizhou City defenders know that the reinforcements have failed again, they may collapse. By taking down Laizhou City, he can continue to develop towards Qingzhou Prefecture and even the entire Shandong Province. Only then can he

Only by forcing the court to resort to appeasement can they have a way out in the future.

After thinking about this, he gritted his teeth and decided to go out in full force this time to fight to the death with this group of officers and soldiers. Even if the Fujian soldiers and horses were difficult to deal with, he really didn't pay much attention to the rest of the officers and soldiers.

inside.

After all, Kong Youde is a veteran who has been in the army for many years and has been wallowing in a pool of blood to survive. He has participated in many battles. When it comes to looking at the enemy's weight, his eyes are quite vicious.

Among the officers and soldiers who came to suppress them, only the Fujian soldiers and horses were the most difficult to deal with. These Fujian soldiers were well-trained and well-equipped. They also had strong military discipline and brave soldiers who were not afraid of death.

It was so powerful that even he felt palpitations when he saw it.

But except for this group of Fujian officers and soldiers, the rest of the officers and soldiers seemed ordinary. Although they were not defeated in one blow this time, they could only barely parry and deal with this group of Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers.

With Shandong Bing, Kong Youde was quite confident.

After hearing the news that Zhu Dadian went to the Laizhou battlefield in person, Kong Youde knew that this battle would not be easy to fight, but it would not be possible if he did not fight. Therefore, he and his generals discussed it before leaving the camp to fight.

Finally, a decision was made, which was to pick the weak persimmons first, wait until the other groups of officers and soldiers were defeated, and then leave the Fujian officers and soldiers who were the most difficult to attack and concentrate their forces to deal with them.

After all, the Fujian officers and soldiers are guest troops. There is no need to fight them to the death here. As long as it lasts for a while, these Fujian officers and soldiers will naturally feel homesick. In addition, Kong Youde is also very clear about the supply capacity of the Ming Dynasty government. Don't look at these things right now.

The officers and soldiers were ordered to come, and they seemed to be in good spirits, but if the delay lasted for a long time, the government would definitely be short of food and pay.

When there was a shortage of money and food, he did not believe that these Fujian officers and soldiers could continue to stay here with great interest and fight with him. With no money and no food to eat, who would continue to work for the imperial court?

Therefore, he decided to concentrate his superior forces and elite troops this time to defeat several other groups of officers and soldiers first, and then finally decide the outcome with the Fujian officers and soldiers.

This battle can be postponed, but the prerequisite is that other officers and soldiers must be defeated first.

So after Kong Youde made up his mind, he immediately ordered the generals to leave the camp, led a large number of rebels, and also began to leave the camp and line up, and opened up a posture on the battlefield to meet the Ming army and soldiers.

After observing the formation of the Ming army, Kong Youde ordered an army under his command to resist the Fujian army. He personally led the main elite to confront the Shandong soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers led by Wu Anbang.

This seems to be normal, because in terms of military strength, the Shandong soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers are the strongest, with nearly 20,000 troops. It seems very normal for Kong Youde's rebels to fight them with the main force.

But after Yu Xiaotian observed the rebels' arrangements with a telescope in the army, a sneer appeared on his lips. He could tell at a glance what Kong Youde was thinking, and he thought that this guy really didn't give anything for nothing. In terms of the general situation,

It was clear that they did not concentrate their forces to deal with him first, but instead used their best troops to find trouble for those Shandong and Zhejiang soldiers first.

Kong Youde's tactics were immediately seen through by him, but he saw through it without saying anything. He was quite satisfied with Kong Youde's decision. These guys were holding back some time ago and were all watching his jokes. Today, let him also see these guys.

As long as he doesn't completely cripple them, he doesn't care about the guy's jokes. He will let these guys suffer and save them from slandering Yu Xiaotian.

As the two armies faced each other, fighting soon broke out on the battlefield. The shouts of killing, the sound of guns, the screams of cavalry horses, and the sound of hoofbeats as groups of cavalry rushed into the battlefield intertwined into a magnificent song.

With the symphony of war, the entire battlefield suddenly boiled, presenting a tragic scene.
