"Youming, where are you now?" Chongzhen was a little tired in the carriage, opened the curtain and asked Liu Hong, who was riding a military horse outside.

"Your Majesty, according to the established route, our army will arrive at Shanhaiguan this evening, and the sentry has already contacted Governor Huang of Shanhaiguan, presumably he is busier than us now!"

Liu Hong gradually took out a pot of soju from the ring, took two sips of the pot and said.

Since discovering the new function of this ring, Liu Hong no longer has to carry a lot of packages when he goes out.

As early as a few days before the expedition, when he learned that his husband was about to leave for him, the two gentle wives began to pack his bags.

There are eight large and small boxes of food, use, and drink, and they have always been careless whether it is important or not, as long as they feel that they can use it, they will take care of themselves.

Liu Hongjian didn't bother with the kindness of the two little girls, that is, how much the family prepared, he loaded it into the car, and then as soon as he left home on the day of the expedition, he stuffed all the belongings into the ring space.

"Your Majesty, would you like to come too? Oh forget it, you're not in good health, Imperial Doctor Qi said, you better drink less. ”

Liu Hong gradually handed over only half of the flask, and then took it back.

Chongzhen was originally puzzled about where this kid came from, but he was also a wine worm himself, so he subconsciously planned to pick it up.

But Liu Hong's words almost choked Chongzhen to death, and his hands were stretched out of the window, but he took them back in a daze.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid also has a ...... here" Huang He, the eunuch who was waiting in the carriage, took out his private collection from his waist.

"I'm not thirsty!" Chongzhen said angrily.

The 50,000 Beijing troops from the capital stretched for several miles, from Lulong to the east through Yongping Mansion, and to the north through Funing until the sun set, and the majestic outline of Shanhaiguan was slowly revealed in the distance.

……

In an abandoned post station five miles outside Shanhaiguan, Governor Huang Degong was dressed in military uniform, and a group of Shanhaiguan generals had been waiting for a long time.

All the generals were full of solemnity and nervousness, which included the excitement from the Ming Dynasty to go on an expedition to Jianyu, but more importantly, this time the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was going to drive the expedition in person!

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, this news was not announced by Huang Degong until yesterday evening.

As Huang Degong expected, when the 50,000 soldiers in Shanhaiguan learned the news, they were really excited and didn't sleep well all night.

As early as when the imperial court decided to conquer the north, the military order of the border army to send 30,000 troops had been transmitted to Huang Degong of Shanhaiguan.

All the important towns on the nine sides were rejoicing as if they were celebrating the New Year, and two months ago, all the soldiers who participated in the battle with Jianyu made a lot of money, and all the soldiers on the nine sides saw it.

They have regained the confidence of the Ming Dynasty, and now they only need to prove it themselves, and by the way, they will earn some silver rewards for the mother-in-law at home like the Xuanfu and Shanhaiguan robes two months ago.

However, the number of soldiers given by the imperial court was only 30,000!

In the towns on the nine sides, there are 150,000 newly trained troops alone, and there are also 116,000 original border troops.

How to divide the quota of 30,000?

On the night when Huang Degong received the military order, he frowned.

Now that the soldiers of the border army have tasted the sweetness of war, they wish that the imperial court would quickly order them to get a piece of the pie.

Silver is the best reward for the soldiers at the border gates, and this reward is even the greatest motivation for them to persevere.

But Huang Degong knows that if he can't arrange it reasonably, the silver may eventually have a whole problem.

Even the illiterate soldiers understand that if they can earn money, why not me?

Huang Degong summoned several subordinates at the level of general soldiers, deputy chief soldiers, and staff generals in the vicinity that night, and after some discussion, the final decision was made.

All the new troops have canceled the quota for this expedition, and these recruits in the province who don't know the height of the sky are all about it!

Among the nine towns, except for the Shanhaiguan where Huang Degong is stationed, there are 6,000 people, and the remaining eight towns each have 3,000 places, and as for the determination of these places, it depends on the ability of the group of general soldiers and generals under his hands.

Now the nine sides are no longer the decadent appearance of before, once these general soldiers can't even handle this little thing well, there are generals who can fight and wait for the top.

It can be said that now Jiubian is no longer worried about internal problems!

And the biggest reason for this is that the court now has silver! If you have money, don't panic!

"Governor Huang, look! It's Your Majesty's Heavenly Army, Your Majesty is here! "Pingyu Bo Wang Yuanba's eyes are not bad, and he should be the first to rush.

The rest of the generals and generals were also excited, because most of these generals were only recently promoted by Huang Degong, not to mention the Son of Heaven, that is, they had never even been to the capital.

Shao Lean, Cao Wentai, the commander of the guards of the 3,000 battalions, should first hit the horse to the side of the post station.

"I am Cao Wentai, the commander of the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the governor of Huang Degong Huang in front?" Cao Wentai dismounted to salute.

"It's here, I don't know where Your Majesty Luan is driving?" Huang Degong had seen Cao Wentai when he was discussing in the Qianqing Palace before, although the official position was high and the power was heavy, but Huang Degong still did not dare to slack off on the close ministers around Chongzhen.

"Now, Your Majesty is in the carriage of the soldiers of the Thousand Households!"

As soon as Cao Wentai spoke, Chang Yu, who was headed by the Thousand Households of Long Live Mountain, arrived at the post station, and with an order, the soldiers of the Thousand Households of Long Live Mountain quickly scattered and seized the critical position.

In the meantime, the imperial guards immediately wrapped up another circle inside, and then the eunuch Huang He dared to open the curtain of the carriage.

Chongzhen leaned out of the carriage with a serious face, and Liu Hongjian also got off the war horse beside the carriage.

"Minister Xuanliao Governor Huang Degong knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Huang Degong lifted his robe and knelt down first.

Behind him, the commander-in-chief and the staff general each reported their names and knelt down to salute.

"You Aiqing quickly flattened, you are the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, although I have inherited the unification for ten or eight years, it is the first time to go to the border of the Ming Dynasty, Zhuqing has worked hard, I have replaced the thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty and the hundred officials of the court, thank you Zhuqing!"

Emperor Chongzhen raised his hands weakly, and motioned for this group of Ming generals to get up as he spoke.

Several generals who had never seen the emperor had red eyes when they saw this, and they thought that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be majestic and high.

But the 'old man' before the meeting not only did not dislike them for being rude, but also expressed comfort and even thanks......

One of the generals sniffled, rubbed his sour eyes, and knelt down gratefully.

"I mean it, why are you still crying? The emperor came from afar and was tired, why didn't Governor Huang hurry up to welcome His Majesty into the city? ”

Liu Hong gradually saw that the monarch and the minister were grinding and chirping, crying and crying for the first time, and he didn't feel a little goosebumps.

Of course, these generals knew An Guogong's name, but instead of being angry, they were a little embarrassed when they heard Liu Hongji's ridicule.

Because most of the reason why they can have this is because of An Guogong, and they know that this An Guogong loves to pull calves the most.

Huang Degong hurriedly got up and motioned for Chongzhen to get into the carriage and enter the city with the army, because he knew that it was difficult to say whether His Majesty was tired or not, most likely because Lord An Guogong himself felt tired.

This post station is still five miles away from the south gate of Shanhaiguan, but Chongzhen refused the proposal to take a carriage, and instead offered to ride a horse into Shanhaiguan.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, horseback riding is a necessary skill, and Chongzhen is certainly not surprised.

Seeing that there was a good horse next to the carriage, Chongzhen walked over, and the eunuch Huang He hurried over to help, Chongzhen turned over and got on the horse, and hit the horse first.

Regarding Chongzhen's hooliganism, Liu Hongjian could only complain in his heart, so he simply snatched Lao Huang's mount......

Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian walked towards Shanhaiguan one after the other, and behind him, Cao Wentai hurriedly got on the horse to catch up, and Huang Degong and other generals were also panicked and hurriedly looked for horses to accompany them.

It is dusk, in the distance west of Shanhaiguan, the mountains are stacked with green, the mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood......

The Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion is also the residence where Huang Degong lives and works.

In the main hall, a table of good wine and food has already been filled, but it is not Huang Degong who is sitting in the right seat.

"Lord Huang, tell Your Majesty about the current situation of Jiubian and Jianyu!" Sitting down, Liu Hong gradually carried a chicken leg and gnawed on the side.

It's true, after seven days of marching, he didn't believe that Chongzhen was not hungry, although he followed Chongzhen, and from time to time on the road he ordered delicious tooth sacrifices in nearby states and counties.

But how can this be delicious with the big meal cooked by the imperial chef in the palace?

But Huang Degong, Wang Yuanba, including Chongzhen, were all just holding the side dishes in front of them, and they were all indifferent to the chickens that needed to be started.

Liu Hongjian doesn't have so many scruples, he just eats, he is already very moral, is it possible that this whole chicken is just not edible?

"Back to Your Majesty, Grandpa Guo, now my Ming Dynasty nine sides are solid, the morale of the generals and soldiers is like a rainbow, from the 270,000 soldiers in the towns on the nine sides, the 30,000 elites selected are all people who dare to fight and dare to die!

As long as His Majesty gives an order, the soldiers of the Nine Sides should be a prisoner for His Majesty! "Huang Degong does have this confidence.

He was at the border, and he was even more aware of the situation outside the pass, and now Abunai Khan of Chahar was already waiting for a message from the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the Ming army went out of the customs to conquer Jian, then Abnai Khan sent troops to conquer the Mongolian tribes together, on the one hand, the two sides were each other's horns, and on the other hand, the Ming army had no worries.

Chongzhen was also very happy after listening to Huang Degong's gift, and he ignored the instructions of the imperial doctors, and took up the wine to toast the Ming generals on the table.

A few big old people holding small wine cups are shaking their hands, and the sky is pitiful, they usually drink directly with the jar......

"Governor Huang, since the army has already joined forces, you must arrange the supply of grain and grass tonight, and tomorrow, this official will lead the army to attack!"

Originally, Chongzhen wanted to let the 50,000 Beijing troops repair for a day, but Liu Hongjian directly refused.

From the capital to Shanhaiguan, the 50,000 Beijing troops walked for seven days, and most of them were due to the burden of Chongzhen.

Still taking a break from yarn? These soldiers are even more eager to go to the battlefield than Chongzhen!

"Rest assured, Grandpa Guo, the humble post will definitely ensure that the supply is foolproof!" As a dignified governor, he did the matter of grain logistics, and Huang Degong immediately made a decision.

"That being the case, Your Majesty should also rest early, and let Your Majesty take a look at my great majesty tomorrow!"
