Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 461 Yang Sichang's Worries
"Old He, how many troops did you bring out this time? Someone heard that Hong Duqian and Zhan Zhan Shang were seriously injured. This Jian Nu is really fierce, much more powerful than the gangsters like Gao Chuang. I don't know. What's the end of this trip? Our soldiers are not as strong as the Liaoxi frontier army, and even they can't defeat Jiannu. What can we do if we go?"

Looking at the generals and soldiers who were busy setting up camp outside the tent, Shanxi General Soldier Wang Pu said with a worried face.

After receiving the order from the Ministry of War, Wang Pu, who was closer to the capital, led 5000 troops to the suburbs of Beijing first, and then moved into the camp of the Beijing Camp under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of War.

Wang Pu, a rich man in his family, is nominally a general with heavy soldiers in his hands. In fact, he doesn't know soldiers. The current position of the general soldier is also obtained by spending a lot of money. It can be said that it is a standard wine bag.

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian's strategic deployment was appropriate after crossing over, and did not let a large number of thieves break into Shanxi's borders. Otherwise, with Wang Pu's ability, Shanxi would soon become a place where thieves ravaged.

After Wang Pu led his troops to set up camp, he had to spend a lot of money to go to Beijing to get through the inherent relationship and inquire about various news about wars outside the customs, so as to make correct choices and choices in the future. The news of Hong Chengchou's serious injury was that he passed various Inquired through a variety of channels.

After other generals from all walks of life led their troops to the Beijing camp one after another, Wang Pu personally brought gifts and visited each door one by one, hoping to have a strong support in the battle in the future. In the end, he decided on the rough and straightforward Shanxi Township. The commander-in-chief congratulates Renlong.

After putting down their posture and deliberately making friends with each other, accompanied by a heavy gift of 1000 taels of silver, the two people who were not familiar with each other quickly became warm.

"I heard about Hong Du's serious injury. He is always cautious in using troops, but this time he was a bit reckless! Jiannu is really hard on his hands, but our soldiers are not vegetarians either!
Don't forget, there is a Sun Dushi in front leading Qin Jun to support him. Qin Jun is very tough, and with the help of white soldiers, our tens of thousands of people can press it up, enough for Jiannu to drink a pot!Don’t be afraid, old Wang, you can just lead the team and follow behind the forehead, but I can tell you that once you join the battle with Jiannu, you can’t be the first to leave the battle, or don’t blame the big knife in my hand for not recognizing people ! "

He Renlong came this time with a selected 4000 troops. Apart from the lack of cavalry, these soldiers are also old soldiers who have fought old battles. Now most of the armor and weapons have been replaced with new ones, and the food and payment are also monthly. In fact, the morale of the army is very high, so he is not as worried about going out to fight as Wang Pu.

But Wang Pu's reputation of cowardice and cowardice is well known by many people, so He Renlong first encouraged him, and then threatened him by the way. Anyway, the name of Madman He is there. Under the cover of this nickname, he can Do a lot of shit.

"Hey, you old He is looking down on me, brother! Somehow, he is the head of a party, and my father is also an official to the left. It is not for nothing when it comes to Wentao and Wulu! Laohe, don't worry, once you go out and go to battle , so I asked Shangguan to lead a team to fight for you, this battle is not asking for meritorious service, but just asking for no faults!"

Wang Pu patted his chest and said solemnly.

"Old Wang, our two brothers are not outsiders anymore, I can warn you, that Sun Baigu and Sun Du are not Hong Du's kind of people who save face, I heard that this person is cruel and merciless towards generals. Once there is a violation of military discipline, don't look at us as generals of the imperial court, this old grandson will be ruthless if he says so, we should obey orders obediently, don't accidentally lose the guy who eats!"

In view of the favor of 1000 taels of silver, He Renlong finally reminded Wang Pu earnestly.

"Thank you brother for telling me, I will keep this kindness in my heart, and there will be rewards in the future!"

Of course Wang Pu could sense that these were He Renlong's words from the bottom of his heart, so he cupped his fists in gratitude to express his gratitude.

In Zhaoren Hall, Zhu Youjian was listening to Yang Sichang's latest report on the situation of various soldiers and horses.

"Invitation to the Holy Majesty, as of yesterday's Shenshi, all the troops except Liu Zeqing from Shandong Province have arrived and stationed in the Beijing camp.

Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Changping, was the first to arrive among the troops from all walks of life due to his relatively close station, followed by Yang Guozhu of the Xuanfu and Datong Hu Dawei. Arrived in five days.

Huang Degong has sent a fast horse to report the news, and his troops have reached the south of Tongzhou, and they will reach the suburbs of Beijing tomorrow.

At present, only Liu Zeqing's troops have not arrived, and the minister has sent a fast horse to urge him to come to Beijing within a certain time limit, otherwise he will be dealt with according to the law! "

After Yang Sichang bowed his hands and saluted, he gave a brief report on the latest information.

"Liu Zeqing lives in Dezhou, which is less than a thousand miles away from the capital. He Renlong lives in Shanxi Town, and Huang Degong lives in Shan County, which are thousands of miles away from the capital. On the contrary, the two tribes arrived in Beijing before the Liu tribe. Why? "

Zhu Youjian frowned, and asked with a look of hesitation.

Zhu Youjian didn't have any feelings about the earliest arrival of Xuanda, Changping, and Shanxi troops. These border towns are not far from the capital, and it would not take long according to the normal marching intensity. He Renlong led his troops to arrive five days earlier, which surprised Zhu Youjian.

The famous running generals in history have become so obedient and obedient. This contrast is indeed not small, but it also reflects from the side that the military discipline of the Ming army everywhere has greatly improved. This good change It is mainly due to the military supervision system stationed by the Ministry of War and Jinyiwei.

It was under the supervision of these supervising troops that the food and salaries allocated by the imperial court could be distributed to every soldier in real amount every month. Yang obeys and Yin violates.

But this time Liu Zeqing's delay in moving made Zhu Youjian feel a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Liu Zeqing sent people to report today. When his troops left Dezhou and arrived in Zhanhua, it rained suddenly. The official roads along the way were muddy and difficult to walk. In addition, several roads and bridges were washed away by floods, so it was delayed for several days. Itinerary. I think that Liu Zeqing will not dare to cover up this matter with lies, so it is also excusable. I have been responsible for Liu Zeqing's march day and night, so I don't think he will dare to miss his schedule!"

Because Liu Zeqing's reputation in history was not very good, Zhu Youjian preconceivedly attributed his delay to the crime of disobeying orders. After Yang Sichang's explanation, Zhu Youjian realized that there was indeed a reason for the incident.

Thinking about it, even a veteran like He Renlong didn't dare to fail, let alone Liu Zeqing, who had never fought any battles and was not very strong.

"Since the Ministry of War has already investigated this, I will not ask about it anymore. After all the ministries have arrived at the Beijing camp, the Ministry of War will send personnel to check the soldiers and horses of each ministry according to the roster, and those who lack armor will be replenished. Weak, wounded and sick soldiers are all to stay in the camp, and are not allowed to leave the customs with the army. After inspections of all the soldiers and horses, they will leave the pass and go northward, and after Songjin, they will be under the unified control of Sun Qing!"

Zhu Youjian made a decision after thinking about it for a while.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I have to say something. Sun Baigu has nearly [-] soldiers and horses under his command before, and this time tens of thousands of soldiers are under his command. In this way, almost all the soldiers of our Ming Dynasty who can fight All of them are under the control of one person, which can be said to be a taboo of emperors throughout history!
In the past, there was still Hong Hengjiu and his division of power, but now Hong can no longer take care of things, and Sun's monopoly of military power may not be a blessing for the community!The minister's proposal is entirely out of loyalty, and I hope my emperor will think about it carefully! "

Yang Sichang hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his inner worries with his hands saluted.
