Jiang Bingzhong got the opportunity to lead troops independently for the first time in his life. I was very excited.
He was in the middle of the line, his hand on the hilt of his knife. My palms were sweaty.
There are pioneers ahead. He commanded from the center. Everything went well, the two Mongolian captains really surrendered. They handed over
Before he went to the capital camp, Chongzhen personally summoned him at Wuying Hall. The emperor spoke to him cordially. Count the history of the Chiang family. Jiang Bingzhong was moved to tears, and he swore to heaven that he would die for His Majesty.
The Jiang family is truly grassroots. The first generation of Dingxi Marquis is Jiang Gui, whose life is extremely legendary. After receiving it, the screenwriter would not dare to edit it like this. Sometimes reality is stranger than the script.
At first, his family was poor and hungry. Later, he went to Yanshan Guards to serve as a soldier, and then he had enough to eat. He did not catch up with Taizu to raise troops, nor did he catch up with Chengzu to make meritorious deeds in the early days of Jingnan.
He joined the army in the middle of Chengzu's reign, and achieved some success. Relying on his majesty, strength, good riding and shooting, he accumulated great achievements and became the commander of the Changguo Guard. After all, in the early days of the Jingnan period, King Yan's subordinates suffered heavy casualties. In fact, as long as they could survive, they could more or less become officials. If you have military exploits, you will be promoted very quickly.
During the Yongle Dynasty, he started out as a soldier and became a guard commander and fellow officer. Like Yang Fan, he was in the guard and had no real power. After all, in that era, positions with real power required a background.
In the Xuanzong Dynasty, the opportunity came. Zhu Zhanji conquered Jiaozhi in the south and Mongolia in the north. He accumulated merit and was promoted to command the Qianshi and take charge of the Pengcheng Guards. This time is different. As long as the official position in the Ming Dynasty carries the title of being in charge of something, they are all officials with real power.
In his thirties, he went to Sichuan to suppress the rebellion of various Tibetan tribes. In the long-term wars between Sichuan and Yunnan against Tibet, Kangzang and Songfan, he repeatedly made outstanding achievements and gradually rose in rank. He was promoted to left and right staff generals successively, and then went to the northern Zhili capital to command Tongzhi and guard Miyun. In the seventh year of Xuande's reign, he again attacked Songfan and was promoted to deputy chief soldier and chief soldier. He was given the seal of General Pepingman and guarded the place on behalf of the government.
Jiang Gui was granted the title of Xibo in the third year of Zhengtong (1438). In the seventh year of Zhengtong (1442), he was granted the title of "Marquis of Dingxi" and was hereditary. He died in the 14th year of Zhengtong (1449). He was posthumously granted the title of Duke of Jing and was given the posthumous title of "Wu Yong".
This man was able to fight his way up in peacetime by relying on his true abilities. Because he knew that it was not easy to rise in class, he was very strict with the education and training of his descendants. Among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, his descendants are one of the very few families that does not have a dandy son.
The successive marquises of his family have been awarded the seals of General Pingman, General Pinghu, and General Zhengqiang many times. Like Yang Fan's General Zhengxi, they are all generals of a special level.
The third generation Jiang Wan built the outer city of Beijing.
The fourth generation Jiang Ji took charge of the Jingying camp and cooperated with Yu Qian to reorganize the Jingying camp into the 12th regiment camp.
Other generations have served many times as the admiral of Jingying Rongzheng, that is, the commander-in-chief of Jingying. It is one of the few families that holds real power in the capital.
Obviously, Chongzhen wanted to re-enable the Dingxihou lineage to take charge of the post of admiral of the capital camp after Yang Fan trained the capital camp.
Yang Fan had known for a long time that he was just a worker. Stop dreaming about getting involved in the Beijing camp and just go to sleep.
After handing over the city gate, the nineteen hundred-man team, led by the trial hundred households, quickly dispersed holding the map of the city that they had surveyed and mapped on the watchtower for the past two days. Advance everywhere.
Jiang Bingzhong led 1,500 people from the Jingwei Martial Arts Camp to support the Chinese army. After all, these are officer seeds and cannot really be put into front-line combat.
After the two captains handed over the city gate, they immediately took their troops out of the city to meet Yang Fan.
Soon the Mongols in the city discovered that the Ming army had entered. They didn't see the Ming army climbing in from the city wall, and they immediately understood that someone had opened the south gate. They cursed the two traitors, Aoden and Bridge, and hurriedly sent people to report the news to Lord Yinbili and Lord Ogle.
In the past two days, the Ming army was out of shape and had been fighting intermittently, which also paralyzed them. Unexpectedly, there was a spy on his side, and the Ming army also came for real.
At this time, they all pulled out their bent
Knife, fighting with the Ming army that rushed in.
At this time, every hundred-man team immediately changed their formation. The first row in front is the sword and shield bearers, and the second row is the spearmen. The third row is the steel crossbowmen. Each flag is an independent combat unit.
Three sword and shield bearers formed a triangle formation in front, and four spearmen followed. Assassinate from the shield gap and from both sides of the shield. Xiao Qi commanded in the middle, and two steel crossbowmen behind him were responsible for shooting.
According to the establishment of the Ming army, there were 112 people per 100 households. There are two general flags. There are five small flags under each main banner.
At this time, every five small flags form a pentagonal combination array to attack and advance. Baihu and his subordinates were commanding from behind, followed by the second commander-in-chief.
In this way, under the 19th Route Attack, the streets in the city were basically blocked.
The Mongols were armed only with scimitars and bows and arrows. In addition, some people have maces, maces, bones and other smashing weapons. They all fought as skirmishers. It all depends on personal bravery.
At this time, they looked at these turtle formations, and for a moment they didn't know where to start.
Mongolians like the Ming Shield are familiar with it. After all, there are always conflicts on the border. Such as hand cards, playing cards, swallow tail cards, shield cards, and invincible god cards. I have seen them all and know how to deal with them. But this time the shields of these people were actually made of steel plates.
The Mongols were stunned. Steel is so heavy, how can it be wielded? You must know that shield soldiers do not wear armor. Just because of the weight, once the armor is on, the shield cannot be wielded. Both shields and armor are for protection, so you can only choose one or the other.
But these shields are obviously very light. The Ming army used it effortlessly.
These are stamped out of 1.5 temper hardened steel plate. Formed in one go. It's very thin but enough to defend against the crossbows and cold weapons of this era. It's no problem to block the three-pointed musket from ten meters away, but it's useless if it's a heavy matchlock gun. This thing is not a shield car.
This shield is 60 centimeters wide and 1.3 meters high. It is a semi-arc shield that rises forward. There is also a stand that can be placed on the ground to save energy.
When the Mongolian scimitar strikes, it bounces off the arc surface just like cutting through plate armor. The waistline of the shield has a semicircular indentation of ten centimeters in diameter. When the Mongols were slashing, they would often suddenly thrust out two spears from the middle of three shields.
Each spear thrust was as fast as lightning. It’s dizzying. As long as he is distracted for a moment, he will be stabbed immediately by the spear like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole.
The height and width of this shield completely covered the people behind it. Mongolian archery cannot hit the people behind.
As soon as they entered the battle, they were immediately suppressed by the Ming army. Keep starting to back away.
There are three small flags on the front of the street, blocking the entire cross-section of the street like three-pointed two-edged knives. Screaming and moving forward steadily.
