Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 444

When going from Tianjinwei to Beyond the Great Wall, Huwei Camp was full of camping and outing atmosphere, and there were laughter and laughter on the road from time to time.

On the way back, since the Xuan Mansion entered the Shuntian Mansion, the Huwei Camp was indeed a little more relaxed, but there was no laughter. The faces of thousands of soldiers all had a little more calm expression, and these young people became resolute. Mature.

Xuan Mansion and Shuntian Mansion are adjacent, but the weather in Shuntian Mansion is much warmer. The carts full of grain and fodder are crushed on the road. The ruts are much deeper than before, but they haven't sunk into the ground yet.

When Jingshan could be seen, the whole team really relaxed. The capital was in sight, which meant that they were about to reach the heart of Daming. Li Hutou and a few cavalry took a step ahead to contact the eunuch Bingbi in the capital city. Zhang Cheng.

Compared to the calmness of the soldiers, the youngsters in the Huwei Martial Art Museum are much more relaxed. They are relaxed when they go, and they are also relaxed when they come back. of.

**********
"Camp down tonight, and you'll be in the capital before noon tomorrow."

The sun hadn't set yet, and the Huwei camp had already started camping. Even though this was already Da Ming's heartland, they still did it in a strict manner without any sloppy.

The baffle was removed from the cart, wooden walls were hung on the outside of the cart, and the baffles were used to connect each other. However, this time the animals could not be enclosed in the camp. Counting the horses pulling the cart, there were still more horses in the team. The hundreds of good horses brought back to Tianjin Wei could not be put in the camp, so they had to circle a place outside.

The pawns arranged the carts and other things, buried wooden stakes in several key places outside, dug out the pits, and began to set up pots and stoves to prepare for cooking.

The horse team is not so leisurely. Although the cart is full of fodder, the food for thousands of large animals is really not small. The fodder on the cart can only be prepared for emergency. Every day, camping, or searching around, spending money The money is collected from the local government to buy, and then shipped to consume.

Wang Tong and Cai Nan beside him casually talked about their distance, looked at the cavalry soldiers who were yelling away, shook their heads and said with a smile:

"Cai Jianjun, send a few people back to Tianjin Wei tomorrow, let them plan a horse farm in the place near Yongping Mansion in Shuntian Prefecture, let Xiangzhong and folk husbands build the stables first, Tianjin Wei should have fodder and the like There is a lot of garrison, and there is no shortage in Jizhen and Yongping Mansion, so Zhang Shiqiang and the others don’t have to save money.”

Cai Nan stared at the busyness of the soldiers, smiled and nodded in agreement:
"These five hundred good horses must be taken care of. The future military horses of our Huwei camp will be on them. Rest now, my lord. Let's go and see the dinner preparations below."

"The supervising army of the other family is a master, but our supervising army seems to be a big housekeeper. Eunuch Cai is in his twenties, but he is so diligent. It is really rare."

Tan Jiang walked over, looked at Cai Nan's back and said with a smile, Wang Tong also nodded with a smile and said:
"They were sent from the palace elsewhere. Eunuch Cai is from his own family. How can it be the same?"

General Tan didn't come here to say this, he turned his head to look at the busy soldiers in the car camp, and said with emotion:

"After this battle on the prairie, the sons and daughters of Huwei Battalion have truly formed an army. From now on, they will not be afraid of fighting, not afraid of the battlefield. They can be called good soldiers!"

Thousands of soldiers in the car camp should be quite noisy and chaotic, but here is in good order, everything is going on in an orderly manner, the soldiers have no excited and tired expressions on their faces, they just work step by step, the afterglow of the setting sun falls on them, After seeing it, people feel a kind of awe-inspiring solemnity.

Wang Tong looked around there, and felt pride surging in his chest. Such an army was built by himself from scratch, and it was also a victorious army, a mighty army. He was proud in his heart, but humbled himself with a smile in his mouth. said:

"If you can still laugh and talk freely like Li Tao and the others, then you can be considered a good soldier!"

"Master is getting impatient. If that's the case, he can already be called an elite soldier, and he is more than just a good soldier...Master, I have something to say. Do the cavalrymen of the Beijing camp who came to guide you yesterday morning know?"

When passing through Jingshan Mountain, further to the east is the capital, an important place in the capital. With such a troop crossing the border, there are naturally some procedures and rules. The same as when we went there, the capital camp also sent cavalry for guidance, and there are special mobile defense arrangements. Naturally, Wang Tong knew that the car camp was now camped, and the camp of the Beijing cavalry was more than a hundred steps away from the car camp. Cai Nan even arranged for someone to send some wine and meat there.

Seeing Wang Tong nodding, Tan Jiang looked a little embarrassed, but he still whispered:

"Master beheaded more than [-] heads on the grassland this time. If you count the strangulation in the Tartar camp, there are still [-] heads, but the master only kept [-] heads for our Huwei camp, and sold the rest to Xuan. Generals of the government, is this..."

Could it be that there are too few heads left for the Huwei camp, and everyone has not made enough contributions. Is this a complaint?But it has nothing to do with the cavalry from the Beijing camp coming to guide them.

Wang Tong glanced at General Tan who was hesitant to speak in surprise. This veteran in his early forties was always calm and composed, but why he hesitated so much today. General Tan looked at him, but turned his head to the people nearby to signal, Wang Tong looked over, but saw Tan Bing and Tan Jian busy there.

One of these two people was a hidden pile arranged by Jin Yiwei, and the other was arranged by Dongchang. Wang Tong understood what General Tan meant, and General Tan lowered his voice again, and explained:
"My two brothers, although they have other errands, they are honest people. The master has seen it on the grassland, but when he is on an errand, the news will always go to the capital. The cavalry who came to guide the capital yesterday neutralized them The two of them had a conversation, but I haven't seen those few riders today, I'm afraid they went back to Beijing, the palace and court know, after all..."

Wang Tong smiled and waved his hands, and asked in a low voice:

"General Tan, the most important first contribution in this dynasty is to see the heads of the Tartar thieves. After verifying that it is true, there will be corresponding credit, right? Then you estimate that our [-] heads will be reported to us. How far can it rise here?"

"...The head and the dominoes are all matched, and the verification is correct. Master Feng Bo should be a guarantee, and the title of Commander of Jinyiwei should also have the title of Commander-in-Chief. If you want to be a general in the local area, it is not impossible to be the commander-in-chief of a town. ..."

Earl, Jin Yiwei Commander Tongzhi, and General of the Army, these three official titles are already the pinnacle or close to the pinnacle that a warrior can pursue.

"...Master, needless to say, everyone in Huwei Camp will be promoted..."

Although General Tan's personality is quite indifferent, he was a little excited when he said this. After all, the purpose of the generals' fighting was not to honor their ancestors and seal their wives and sons, but Wang Tong looked away and said in a deep voice:
"What kind of person do I look like in the hearts of the big men in the court? You should also know, General Tan. If you can tolerate me, why bother driving me out of the capital? Experience, internal and external, if I really report the credit for beheading, not rewarding or promoting will break the rules, and it will chill the minds of soldiers, but rewards and promotions will have no place for me. Since I don’t want to reward me and promote me, I have to guard against If I have resentment in my heart, and if I am promoted to grab the position, then everyone will blame me, I am afraid that it will be bad luck for a while."

Having said that, General Tan shook his head, then sighed, and Wang Tong continued:
"Sell them to the side generals of the Xuanfu, make good friends with them, and make it easier for future business transactions. Besides, these heads are a troublesome disaster to us. Why don't you exchange some money, a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and it's worth it. .”

After saying a few words, Wang Tong jumped into the cart next to him, General Tan followed, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Don't say these things are now, I'm afraid someone sent a letter to the capital when we were in the Xuanfu. Fenrun, I am afraid that everyone will praise me for knowing the general situation."

"Oh, the master is thoughtful, but he has great merit but can't take it. It's really aggrieved."

General Tan sighed, Wang Tong stretched himself in the car, and said:
"Don't feel wronged. Your Majesty is only eighteen this year, and I am only eighteen. They are still very young. I can afford to wait. Don't rush, don't rush..."

*************
"The subordinate officer is on military duty and cannot enter the city. He has to trouble Eunuch Zhang to go out of the city. He is really terrified. Wang Tong kowtows here to make amends."

Huwei Camp asked Chen Baying to walk for two hours, then stopped again, pulled out the carriage that was converted into a wing room, and used it as a place for entertaining. After stopping, within a moment, a black carriage arrived here.

Letting Zhang Cheng come to see him was really a little against the rules. He helped Zhang Cheng into the van and sat down. The first thing Wang Tong did was to apologize. said in a voice:

"It's all from my own family. When you get up, why so much ceremony, Wang Tong, you have made such a great contribution to the north, and everyone in the palace knows it. The big guys are all wondering, so many soldiers and generals can't do it. How can you do it with thousands of people?"

"Elder-in-law is troublesome. The battle report has already been drawn up. After returning to Tianjin, I will polish it and send it to the capital immediately. I must first hand it over to the Long Live Lord for review."

"Hurry up, Lord Long Live is anxious to see, but it was Chu Zhaoren of the Imperial Horse Supervisor who did such a thing, and our family wants to see how he confesses."

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Tong hesitated, bowed and said:
"Eunuch Zhang, if Eunuch Chu really wants to do something to the subordinates, there is no need to use such a big fanfare. Eunuch Chu has been working as a post for so many years, so he will not be out of control."

Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Tong, the smile on his face gradually widened, he nodded approvingly and said:
"You can see clearly..."
