Gathering his mind, Chang Yu walked quickly towards the grass fence, he was worried that Wu Zhong's fool would really be cut by Zhu Cihong, such a good knife, wouldn't it be a pity if it was broken.

Before he reached the Caolanchang Hutong, Zhu Cihong hurriedly walked over, his face was cloudy, followed by a group of guards and eunuchs, and Wu Zhong followed from a distance with his head down.

Seeing Chang Yu from afar, Zhu Cihong trotted over, and the clouds on his face swept away: "I was looking for you, the matter is already in order"

Chang Yu was overjoyed: "Shenji Battalion? ”

Zhu Cihong nodded vigorously, Chang Yu clapped his hands together, and the two walked side by side towards the Yamen of the Inner East Factory.

The national crisis is at the head, the society is the most important, the cabinet boss Li Banghua is overwhelmed, and finally nodded, and allowed to allocate one of the three major battalions, although Chang Yu went north to the border to resist the enemy, which is naturally indispensable is the trust of the little eunuch, after all, Chang Yu has the brilliant exploits of the Battle of Taiyuan.

However, although the cabinet agreed to transfer the Shenji Battalion to Chang Yu to give orders, it was still not very comfortable to appoint another Shenji Battalion commander to be served by Gongshun Hou.

According to the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, there were already two admirals and ministers, as the name suggests, the ministers were appointed by the eunuchs in the palace, and at this time, a Gongshun Marquis was parachuted, and it was obvious that the cabinet was worried that Chang Yu would cover the sky with one hand and do whatever he wanted, so he sent someone to contain it.

Chang Yu pondered for a moment, the last Gongshun Marquis of the Ming Dynasty should be Wu Weiying, who also served as the governor of Jingying in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, but his younger brother Wu Weihua was more famous

Because Wu Weihua is a well-known traitor, and later after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, he attacked the Marquis of Gongshun, but the wicked have their own heavenly rule, and finally exiled to Ningguta for their crimes.

The two stayed in the East Factory for a while, and there was a secret letter from Chongzhen sent by the eunuch, Chang Yu actually hurriedly went to the military department to get the talisman, and wanted to talk to Shi Kefa for a few words, but found that he was not in the yamen, so he went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, because Jingying was under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

After some tossing, it was almost noon, and someone informed Wu Weiying to ask to see him.

In the yamen of the inner east factory, Wu Weiying and Chang Yu were drinking tea and discussing matters, and the eunuchs outside went in and out to report various matters.

The palace camp has 300 men and horses and is eating.

Hundreds of families who had been resting in Tengxiangwei's Yamen for several days had already left the city and were waiting outside Andingmen.

Pang Yuandao, one of the four King Kongs under Fang Ba's men, had escorted hundreds of carts of grain and grass on the road.

General Tang's troops and horses had been marched overnight last night, and they should be in Jizhen and the overseer......

"Master Hou, what is the actual strength of the Shenji Battalion this time? The Governor asks about the real amount." Chang Yu looked solemn during the conversation.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Beijing camp paid silver, and Chongzhen ordered the eunuch Wang Chengen and the then governor Wu Weiying to verify the number of soldiers, and verified nearly 150,000 (one said more than 120,000)

It stands to reason that the internal officials and the foreign officials check together, and the water should not be large, but this number has been criticized by later generations, and they all feel that even if the emperor's henchman Wang Chengen personally checks it, it is impossible for the old king to identify them one by one, and the matter of making up people to fill the vacancies and cheating cannot be eliminated at all.

It is reported that some time ago, when Wang Jiayan was promoted to the governor of Beijing, he was greatly opposed by the courtiers.

In the end, because Wang Jiayan was Li Banghua's person and Chongzhen was hard-hearted, the position of the governor of Beijing finally sat down, and the number of soldiers was also checked, and the result was very scary.

However, Chang Yu still heard some news, but in fact, there were less than 70,000 old, weak, sick and disabled!

Wu Weiying smiled bitterly: "I am dissatisfied with the overseer and said that Ben Hou has just taken over the Shenji Battalion, and it is too late to actually verify it, but the Shenji Battalion specializes in firearms, and the personnel vacancy is not very large, but the firearms have many flaws, are in disrepair, cannot be maintained, and so on, and there is a lot of damage."

"But you can always do it with one shot."

"This is okay."

"Even so, Master Hou don't waste time gossiping with the governor here, quickly return to the camp to verify all items, from the personnel quota, musket allocation, gun powder spare, artillery, chariot overhaul to the fastest speed and then go out of Beijing, the governor will give you a maximum of seven days, from the time the governor arrives in Ningyuan, you will be punished for delaying the fighter plane if you do not arrive in seven days."

Wu Weiying, the "commander", had heard that this son was strict in governing the army, and he said nothing when he was in Taiyuan, but he didn't think that he had not left Beijing yet, and he was still chatting with Wen Yan just now, and in a blink of an eye, he was resolute, and he didn't dare to call himself Ben Hou anymore.

In the Ming Dynasty, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, on the sixth day of the third month, Chang Yu, the governor of Dongchang, was ordered to go north to supervise the army.

The Forbidden City's Bei'anmen (Di'anmen) was wide open, and three hundred eunuch soldiers were fresh and angry horses came out, and a strong man in front of the horse team held the flag, with three big characters written on it: Gongzi Battalion.

Today in history, the thief army broke through the Xuanfu and approached the capital.

Now the little eunuch was ordered to go north to snipe the Qing army south.

Three hundred iron horses out of the palace, the momentum is amazing, the people outside the city mistakenly thought it was the pro-guard, but when they saw the black clothes and black armor all over the body, they didn't seem to be the pro-guards, and suddenly saw the big banner and exclaimed, the original small factory governor's men and horses!

Outside Bei'an Gate, Chang Yu glanced back at the young man waving his hand at the city gate, and nodded slightly, this was the only person he sent out of the palace.

It seems that he is unwilling, and he can't go more than ten steps and then look back, the city gate is still the figure of the young man, his heart is sour, and he is just about to sigh, and suddenly he glimpses a few figures on the top of the Long Live Mountain looking around, and he can't see much from Taiyuan.

I just think it's you, Chang Yu had a smile on his face.

Iron Pillar, Daqian, Huling.

"Humble duty! Li Tiezhu, Fan Jiaqian, and Hu Ling replied loudly.

"Hurry to the town, get to Jizhen before nightfall!"

Jizhen is more than 200 miles away from Beijing, but the Gongzi battalion is all cavalry, and even the baggage is a carriage, and the average travel is 20 miles an hour, which is not a difficult task.

The Gongzi camp did not go out of the city from Desheng Gate according to the custom, but went out of the city directly from Anding Gate in the northeast.

Outside the stable gate, there are many people waiting.

In addition to watching the excitement, there are also a bunch of familiar faces.

Cheng Ming of Teng Xiangwei, Duan Wuhu, Tang Potian of the Fu Junwei, Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Chunxiang, the second-in-command of the East Factory......

"Lord Overseer, why don't you take me out of Beijing" Teng Xiangwei and a group of military attaches led by Cheng Ming rushed over.

Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "You are going to go south to suppress the bandits in the near future, haven't you received the news?" ”

"I have heard it" Cheng Ming lowered his head and sighed: "It seems to be true"

"Serving the country, what is the difference between the southern and northern wars" Chang Yu patted him on the shoulder: "I remember what the governor once said, what is the duty of a soldier!" ”

"Defend the family"! Cheng Ming and others spoke in unison!

Enough! Chang Yu nodded slightly!

"But why can't you go to war with the Overseer, is it possible that no one really looks down on the military guards of our mansion?" Tang Potian stood up.

"Who will protect the emperor when they are gone?"

Chang Yu rolled his eyes, Tang Potian wanted to speak again, but Chang Yu raised his hand to stop: "He has another important use in the future, just wait!" ”

Tang Potian was overjoyed.

Wu Mengming walked to Chang Yu's side, and the two gently held each other's hands, everything was self-evident.

"Big brother"! Chunxiang couldn't help it, even if everyone was on the side, he was in tears, and he wanted to say something but he was emotional and couldn't say anything.

"When I was here, those ghosts and ghosts were all hiding in the dark and instructing some little ghosts to make trouble, and after leaving Beijing, they had to come out to make trouble, you just have to be ruthless, catch one and get it to death!"

Everyone was cold when they heard this, and Chunxiang nodded vigorously.

The north wind rose, the sky and the earth changed, Chang Yu turned over his horse and whipped north.

The dust rose, fascinating everyone's eyes, and the hundred cavalry marched away.

The palace battalion was followed by more than 200 people, which was originally composed of Jiang Jiu's family and Chang Yu's family.
