Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 152

Xu Yingwei stood in the queue, looking at Chongzhen with adoring eyes.

Yes, Xu Yingwei's impression of Chongzhen can only be described as worship, even a kind of fanatical worship. In his opinion, Chongzhen is simply an unprecedented sage.

Since ancient times, which emperor can share joys and sorrows with soldiers like Chongzhen?

In the past few months, Chongzhen brought His Royal Highness King Ding, and from the beginning to the end, they ate and lived with their sons of Qin Wang. The sons of Qin Wang ate water and rice, and the emperor also ate water and rice.

Scholars marched with bare feet, and the emperor marched with bare feet.

The scholars recited the new book of merit at night, and the emperor and his son also recited the new book of merit, even more diligently.

According to Yi Ding, during the Xuzhou battlefield, the emperor even went to the battlefield with them. If such an emperor cannot be called a holy king, who else deserves to be called a holy king?

Let alone such an emperor, he has never heard of it.

I saw Chongzhen walking back and forth in front of the phalanx of scholars, and was about to give a lecture when a postman on horseback suddenly rushed over.

Wu Batan, who was guarding Chongzhen's side, immediately went forward with a dozen riders and exchanged a few words. Wu Batan led the postmen to Chongzhen and handed over the pond newspaper.

After reading the Tang newspaper, Chongzhen's face immediately became serious.

At that time, the straight-line distance between Xu Yingwei and Chongzhen was less than ten steps.

So it can be clearly seen that Chongzhen's face suddenly became serious.

Xu Yingwei immediately paused in his heart, something has happened, and it seems that the matter is not small!
What happened next quickly verified Xu Yingwei's guess. Chongzhen first confessed to Zheng Sen, then sent someone to call Hu Guozhu, and then he and Hu Guozhu took Yi Ding away, and left directly.

Immediately, Zheng Sen called together 63 scholar chiefs and held a short meeting.

After the meeting was adjourned, each scholar leader immediately brought back the Qin Wang scholars from their respective groups.

Zheng Sen also took Wu Yingji, Mao Xiang, Xu Yingwei and the others back to the camp of his group.

"I have everything, hurry up and pack your bags!" Zheng Sen gave the order as soon as he returned to the camp, "Gather after a stick of incense!"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Sen immediately took out a letter incense from the leather bag and lit it, then stuck it on the ground, and then went back to pack his luggage, mainly felt cloth, blankets, and dry food bags.

Then there is the tent shared by ten people, which needs to be tidied up together.

After the tent is put away, a special donkey is responsible for carrying it.

Taking the opportunity of tying up the tent, Xu Yingwei asked Zheng Sen in a low voice: "Brother Damu, what happened?"

Maoxiang, Wu Yingji and other scholars beside him also pricked up their ears, they were also very curious about what happened?Why did the Holy Majesty leave immediately with eight hundred barbarians?
Zheng Sen didn't hide anything, and said: "A group of bandits rushed into Anqing Mansion from Huguang and are besieging Taihu County! Taihu County Magistrate reported to Nanjing Fatang for help. After receiving the report, the Holy One took Yi Ding to rush for reinforcements. But there are a lot of rebels, it is said that there are at least [-] people, so our Shizi Battalion must hurry up to support!"

"More than [-] rebel soldiers!" Mao Xiang, Wu Yingji and other scholars suddenly looked terrified.

But Xu Yingwei said anxiously: "Then we have to hurry up, the Holy One is only around [-] barbarians, if we are surrounded by bandits, we will be in big trouble!"

The time for a stick of incense is coming soon.

All one hundred and two scholars completed the assembly.

Ten tents, iron pans and other utensils were also tied to the donkey's back.

"Go!" Zheng Sen waved his hand, and Prince Qin began to march towards Taihu County.

Most of the mountain roads from Qianshan County to Taihu County are rugged and difficult to walk. However, after more than a month and nearly two months of hard training, the Qin Wang scholars have already adapted, so they marched very fast.

Even now that he is wearing cotton armor and holding a Lumi blunderbuss or a spear in his hand, he has more than a dozen catties more weight than in the previous empty-handed training, but his marching speed has not decreased at all, or even faster.

The reason is very simple, scholars are worried that Chongzhen is in danger.

……

It is about one hundred miles from Qianshan County to Taihu County.

Chongzhen marched all the way with [-] Yiding in a hurry, and arrived in Taihu County in an hour and a half.

At this time, Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan had already surrounded Taihu County with [-] people.

In order to make this play as realistic as possible, Chongzhen did not tell the truth to the officials and gentry in Anqing Mansion, so the magistrate of Taihu County really thought that it was a thief who violated the border, so he quickly mobilized Xiangyong to guard the four gates, and then told Feng Governor-General Yang's Office and Nanjing sent out urgent requests for help at the same time, but the urgent delivery to Nanjing was stopped by Chongzhen.

Chongzhen and Babai Yiding did not appear directly outside Taihu County.

About ten miles away from Taihu County, Chongzhen stopped, and then sent Wang Chengen to summon Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan to the imperial front.

"Chen Zuo Menggeng kowtows to the Holy Majesty!"

"Chen Jin Shenghuan kowtows to the Holy Majesty!"

Although they were wearing armor, Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan still insisted on paying respects.

It can be seen that the ancient generals' "it is inconvenient to kneel down while wearing armor" is an excuse and a show.

Chongzhen was supposed to sit on the rock by the side of the road, received the worship of the two solidly, and then said: "Let's get flat."

"Thank you, my lord." Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan bowed to their feet again, and then stood in front of Chongzhen one after the other, not daring to breathe.

Although Zuo Liangyu already has the heart of disobedience to support soldiers and stand on his own, just like in history, Chongzhen in this time and space is still alive, and has a series of "knowledge soldiers", "enlightenment of Meishan" and "begging for captives" etc. The aura added to his body, so Zuo Liangyu was extremely terrified, not to mention Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan.

Jin Shenghuan panicked because of the precedents of Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo.

Both Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo were born as thieves, and they both did a lot of evil.

Like them, Jin Shenghuan was born as a thief, and he also did a lot of evil.

Therefore, Jin Shenghuan was really afraid that Chongzhen would kill him if he disagreed with him.

Jin Shenghuan really didn't want to take this trip, but Zuo Liangyu insisted that he come.

Chongzhen looked at Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan quietly for a quarter of an hour, and when Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan were about to collapse, Chongzhen finally spoke again.

"You two have worked hard." Chongzhen said lightly.

"But you have to work harder to accompany me in acting."

Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Please show me, Your Majesty."

Chongzhen said: "The sub-battalion of scholars will arrive soon. You will bring [-] troops under your command to fight against it. Bows and arrows are not allowed, but firecrackers are allowed, as are waist knives, spears and other weapons."

"Ah?" Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan said bitterly, "Are you really fighting?"

"Yes, it's a real fight!" Chongzhen said solemnly, "The two armies first set up their formations and fight in a dignified manner. If they approach the scholar camp, they are allowed to kill!"

The first battle for recruits is very important.

It's like poking the window paper, as long as you poke it, it will grow.

But before it is revealed, a recruit will always be a recruit.

In the first battle of the Scholars Camp, Chongzhen did not want to fight Jiannu.

Because the price of the first battle against Jiannu was too great.

Therefore, it is ideal for the "thief soldiers" pretending to be Zuo Liangyu's army.

But the scholar battalion couldn't see the flaws, so the restriction must be lifted for Zuo Liangyu's army, otherwise, Zuo Liangyu's restrained performance on the battlefield could easily be spotted by the scholars on the opposite side.

Zuo Menggeng still had concerns, and said: "But the opposite side is full of scholars."

Chongzhen said solemnly: "They are scholars and soldiers. You only treat them as soldiers. What's more, even though you have [-] people, there are only more than [-] scholars, but you may not be able to get close to the scholars. before the battalion."

These words angered Zuo Menggeng and Jin Shenghuan, who do you look down on?How can our [-] army lose to the more than [-] scholars in the scholar camp?play?
At that moment Jin Shenghuan said: "Your Majesty, do you promise that you will not punish the crime?"

"I promise not to punish you." Chongzhen said in a deep voice, "As long as you have the ability, you can kill Shiziying, but if you suffer from Shiziying, don't complain to me!"

"I promise not to complain." Jin Shenghuan also lost his temper.

At the same time, my heart became ruthless, and I had to give Shiziying something to try.

After returning to the army, Zuo Menggeng was still a little worried, and asked Jin Shenghuan, "Brother Huchen, are you really killing me?"

"True killer!" Jin Shenghuan said with a stern face, "Young master, do you still dare to resist the edict? This is an imperial edict."

"That's right." Zuo Menggeng's expression turned cold, and he said with a snort, "Since the Holy Majesty told us not to leave any room, then let's do as he wished and show these scholars some color."

……

Three hours later, the Shiziying finally arrived outside Taihu City.

It took only three hours for the Shizi camp to cover the mountain road of more than one hundred miles, which is already extremely fast.

However, as soon as they arrived at the battlefield, Shiziying received an extremely disturbing news. Yi Ding failed to rescue the siege, and only a hundred remnants of soldiers guarded Shengshang and entered the county seat, and the county seat was about to lose its hold.

"Lord Wu, why are you making such a fuss?" Zheng Sen asked.

"Don't mention it, we left too hastily and were ambushed by bandit soldiers."

Wu Batan sighed, and said with a dark face: "Fortunately, the Holy One is fine. As long as your scholar camp can defeat the bandits before dark today, it will not be a big problem, but if you can't defeat the bandits before dark, then it will be troublesome." It’s going to be big, the bandit soldiers will definitely launch a strong attack on the county seat tonight, and Taihu County will probably not be able to defend it at that time.”

"Lord Wu, don't worry, our scholar battalion will launch an attack on the bandits!"

Zheng Sen responded, and then shouted sharply: "Trumpeter, rally!"

The swan sound of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Soon, one after another, the small square formations were arranged in formation, and then extended left and right relying on the mountain.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than [-] Qin Wang Shizi once again formed a long snake formation with a width of nearly [-] paces.

After setting up the formation, Zheng Chenggong drew forward with the waist knife in his hand, and the sound of marching drums sounded, and sixty-four small square formations formed by more than [-] King Qin's sons began to march forward at the same time.

At this moment, the bandit soldiers on the opposite side saw the formation formed by Prince Qin's scholar.

Immediately, the thieves also set up a wider and thicker horizontal formation facing each other.
