Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Li Zicheng left more than 200 old, weak, sick and disabled people wandering around the military camp. He also made hundreds of scarecrows, put on clothes and red scarves, and lined up behind the camp fence with wooden guns. With the heavy rain and mist, it was difficult to see from a distance. Go, just like a real person, successfully deceived the army's scouts.

The reconnaissance platoon sent by Xu Yu and the platoon leader were all equipped with monocular binoculars. After sneaking closer, they raised the monocular binoculars and immediately discovered the problem.

When the reconnaissance platoon entered the camp, the more than 200 old, weak, sick and disabled rebels inside did not resist. Instead, they put down their weapons and silently surrendered with their heads in their hands.

When they were selected to stay, they were filled with despair, but they had to carry out the order, but they resisted the order to fight to the end and chose to surrender.

Sun Chuanting was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and greeted Li Zicheng's eighteen generations of ancestors. If he could seize the opportunity to pursue, he might be able to keep Li Zicheng's rear troops behind. Unfortunately, he was deceived by Li Zicheng's plan to gather troops.

He could only send out a large number of scouts to search for the whereabouts of the rebels. The army stayed overnight to see what would happen tomorrow.

Sun Chuanting was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. When he got dressed, he realized that the heavy rain turned into falling snow. The world was covered with ice and snow overnight, and everything he saw was white.

Although the cold wind was biting and made him shiver, he still grinned.

Li Zicheng was defeated and lost all his belongings. Even though he burned, looted and looted all the way during the retreat, and grabbed a lot of supplies, he could not last long. There was even less supplies to protect him from the cold. There was a sudden heavy snowfall, the sky was freezing, and the north wind was howling. , how many more than 30,000 horses can be left?

Sun Chuanting ordered people to burn firewood to stay warm until dawn, and then sent people to Xiangyang City to ask for quilts, winter clothes, charcoal, and dry firewood. He first let the soldiers keep out the cold. At the same time, he sent people back to Zhuxian Town to collect the food stored in Zhuxian Town. All cold-proof materials such as quilts and cotton-padded clothes were shipped as soon as possible.

It's impossible to fight in this icy and snowy world, not to mention the rebels who are short of food and clothing, and even the officers and soldiers with sufficient supplies can't bear it. The war hasn't even started yet, and the logistics and transportation problems alone will make you collapse first. , Therefore, winter also means a truce. Let’s get through this cold winter first.

Li Zicheng's remnant army hid in an unknown ravine, while Sun Chuanting's more than 300,000 elite troops were temporarily stationed in Xiangyang City to spend the winter in peace.

The most unlucky thing was Chang Buzhou. He excitedly led a thousand soldiers from the Royal Guards Battalion to go on an expedition. In order to catch up with Sun Chuanting's large army, he traveled day and night. As a result, it snowed heavily as soon as he arrived at Zhuxian Town.

In this icy and snowy environment, he could not go anywhere. He could only stay in Zhuxian Town and help Sun Chuanting protect this important material transfer station. Of course, Chang Buzhou and his men were the first troops to put on warm winter clothes.

The winter clothing and bedding of the army are divided into two types: the old army and the new army. In order to avoid being corrupted by some unscrupulous officials, all the supplies of the new army are managed by specialized quartermasters. No matter the type, quantity, handover, etc., they are strictly registered. It is supervised by additional Military Justice Department officials to avoid corruption as much as possible.

However, no matter how strict your management is, even if there is supervision by the Military Justice Department, if you really want to do something, you can still do some manipulation in terms of losses. This is unavoidable.

Of course, if you are discovered and the amount of corruption reaches the prescribed amount, the penalties will be very severe. In addition to recovering the money and confiscating the illegal gains, it will be a slap in the face and the whole thing will be over.

The battle could not be fought, and everyone took a break to fight the cold. During this period, the hardest work was for the logistics auxiliary troops responsible for transporting various military supplies and the second-line troops responsible for escort. They braved the flying goose feathers and heavy snow and endured the biting cold. The wind was blowing, and they were marching hard on the slippery snow. They could not rest well until all kinds of military supplies were delivered to their destinations.

More than ten days later, various military supplies were delivered to Sun Chuanting, who were counted and distributed to the soldiers. Another part of the military supplies was sent to the Red Lady's station.

Although the Red Lady did not want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and still carried the banner of the rebel army, she and her subordinates had to admit that the treatment of the officers and soldiers was really incomparable.

I don’t know who is chewing the tongue. Why is the emperor so kind to a female bandit leader?

There is no free lunch in the world. The emperor must have fallen in love with the red lady. Look at the beauty and figure of the red lady. Who would a normal man not want to indulge in evil?

Not to mention, many of Red Lady’s capable subordinates also seemed to agree with this rumor, otherwise there would be no way to explain it clearly. This made Red Lady angry and distressed, but also helpless. She couldn’t kill everyone. Bar?

"The head of the family, Shen Nichang from the Jinyiwei Hundreds wants to see you."
