Needless to say, this army came from the Guanning Army, and the main commander was Wu Sangui, the deputy general of the right battalion of the forward, and led a total of 1,500 cavalry troops to Beijing.

Before, when the ancestor of Guanning heard that the residence of the governor of Jiliao was going to be moved to Shanhaiguan, he was very dissatisfied. He got along well with Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, and even let his nephew and Fang Yizao's son become brothers. As a result, the Governor of Jiliao is coming, isn't this an extra top boss, or the biggest!

For this reason, he discussed with Fang Yizao, and then Fang Yizao went to the imperial court, saying that now there are only three fortified cities and affiliated cities of Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, and he is already here, which should be enough. Jianyu often enters the customs from the side of Jizhen, and it is the best policy to be watched by the governor himself.

As a result, after this piece of music went up, there was no response at all. On the contrary, the new governor of Jiliao confirmed that he invited the governor of Shaanxi to find out the Sun Chuanting who was paid in Shaanxi. This time, Zu Dashou was even more dissatisfied.

Of course, he has heard of this Sun Chuanting. I knew that this man was a stone in a pit, and it was smelly and hard. On the Shaanxi side, he is not even afraid of offending anyone. Now he has to go to Shanhaiguan to manage them, and he has entered one acre and three points of land in Zu Dashou, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Fang Yizao is the same, the governor turned out to be Sun Chuanting, he is also uncomfortable! If it was possible, neither of them would want Sun Chuanting to be the governor of Jiliao.

However, before their crooked thoughts got up, they heard that Sun Chuanting temporarily acted as the general commander of the Beijing camp, and during the martial law period of the Beijing Division, in the process of arresting the criminals who plotted against the crime, it was Sun Chuanting who held the military power of the Beijing camp, which was enough to explain Sun Chuanting's status in the emperor's mind. Even Yuan Chonghuan, who had been very trusted by the emperor before, did not have this experience.

In this regard, Fang Yizao and Zu Dashou had no choice, and they could only discuss how Sun Chuanting would take up the post of governor of Jiliao and how to deal with it after arriving at Shanhaiguan?

You must know that in today's Guanning Army, the ancestral family is the largest force, especially after marrying the Wu family. If you put it in an unkind way, from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, this one-third of an acre of land, the surname Zu is more than the surname Zhu.

However, what made Zu Dashou breathe a sigh of relief was that after Sun Chuanting arrived, he did not immediately implement his policy of clearing the tun to replenish his salary, and he didn't even mention it, and after meeting the generals and officials from all over the country, he was just looking at the official documents related to the authority of the governor of Jiliao.

Although there is no trouble for the time being, Zu Dashou also knows that when Sun Chuanting takes office, he will definitely be prestigious. At the moment, it looks harmless to humans and animals, just because he is still familiar with it. For this reason, Zu Dashou secretly raised the gods and guarded against Sun Chuanting.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the emperor came over with a decree, specifying that Wu Sangui would be transferred to lead the cavalry of the headquarters into the customs.

This incident surprised Zu Dashou and others again. A group of people discussed it urgently at that time, guessing whether it would be related to Sun Chuanting. If they want to confront Sun Chuanting, they had better have enough capital in their hands. Therefore, their original intention was not to let Wu Sangui enter the customs.

For this reason, Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, prepared to write to the imperial court, saying that the threat of Liaodong Jianyu was too great and it was not appropriate to divide troops from the Ningjin line.

When Sun Chuanting inquired about this matter, Fang Yizao even "argued with reason", emphasizing the strength of Jianyu. In case the capture of Jinzhou is besieged again, there will be a shortage of troops to rescue Jinzhou at that time.

On the side of Shanhaiguan, in the past, there was a post of Liaodong Economic Strategy. This strategy is actually similar to that of the governor, but relatively speaking, it is weaker than the governor. Because there is a distinction between high and low ranks.

During the Apocalypse, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, were at odds. As a result, Xiong Tingbi could not fight Wang Huazhen, and under the constraints, the war in Liaodong was defeated.

Although the governor is the nominal superior of the governor, generally speaking, the governor has the capital to fight against the governor, and they are all from the feudal officials of the Ming Dynasty. They all have the power to play directly to the emperor. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the governor would not really call the governor as his subordinate, and if there was a disagreement, he would consider it.

However, there was no conclusion to this matter, and immediately after, Emperor Chongzhen's second will arrived. The thieves in the Central Plains rebelled and urged Wu Sangui to enter the customs immediately.

The tone of this will is harsh, and the urging is very obvious. Sun Chuanting immediately ordered that Wu Sangui must enter the customs immediately, otherwise it would be a disobedience to the order.

And Zu Dashou's side, it was understood that it was not Sun Chuanting who was transferred to the customs to enter the customs, but the reason why the thieves were making trouble again, so they were relieved.

They don't have anything to worry about when it comes to thieves. So, as soon as his mind turned, he turned to Wu Sangui's official position.

In the past, as long as the Guanning Army entered the customs, such as Zu Kuan, Cao Wenzhao and others, they would all be named chief military officers. And Wu Sangui's military position at this time is only equivalent to the deputy chief soldier. If you want to go up one litre, this is a good opportunity.

Therefore, after the Zu and Wu families discussed, they did not think about resisting the decree again, and asked Wu Sangui to immediately lead the 1,500 cavalry of the headquarters into the customs.

At this time, Wu Sangui was already twenty-seven years old. has faded away from the enthusiasm of youth, and under the orders of the Zu and Wu families, it can be regarded as "mature".

His mind is also on promotion. After arriving at the outskirts of Beijing, he was waiting, the emperor should reward himself, at least like Zu Kuan, to a reinforcement commander, right?

However, to his disappointment, the emperor did not let him enter Beijing to meet him, nor did he give him a reward, but only let him camp outside the city and wait.

In this regard, Wu Sangui couldn't help but wonder, and hurriedly sent his family to take off his military uniform, and then went into the city to find his father Wu Xiang to ask about the situation.

Wu Xiang was sent by Sun Chengzong to rescue his brother-in-law Zu Dashou in the Battle of Dalinghe in August of the fourth year of Chongzhen, but he became a fleeing general, so that in the Battle of Dalinghe, the Ming army was defeated, and Zu Dashou surrendered to the Manchus, of course, and later fled back.

In this battle, Sun Chengzong was dismissed from his official position and went home to retire; Wu Xiang, the general who escaped, did not escape and was imprisoned. However, the Wu family was rich, and he was soon released from prison and became an unemployed vagrant, which did not affect his son's official career. Now at this time, I am listening to music and watching dramas in the Jingshi Wu Mansion.

Before it got dark, the family rushed back to the military camp outside the city and told Wu Sangui: "Young master, the master said that the emperor has issued an order to personally recruit those thieves, so he is busy now!" It should be before going on the expedition, the young master will be given the post of reinforcement and suppression commander. ”

In fact, this is also a convention, at least Zu Kuan and Cao Wenzhao have been able to do it.

When Wu Sangui heard this, he was very surprised, and asked a little unconvinced: "What do you say, the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person?" ”

This news, in fact, is not only Wu Sangui, but everyone will be very surprised after hearing it.

Counting forward, except for Emperor Zhengde, who had the experience of driving a personal expedition, there were only those emperors who had experience in conquest when the country was founded. As for Emperor Yingzong, that's a joke.

So, the family replied affirmatively: "The emperor said that this time he would completely solve the thieves and rebels and return peace to the people of the world, so he set up a royal expedition." ”

"Oh!" When Wu Sangui heard this, he couldn't help but admire Emperor Chongzhen a little in his heart.

He is a military general, and of course he is also a courageous person. If before hearing the news, he was more in awe of the emperor's identity, but at this time, when he knew that the emperor was going to drive the emperor, he was a little admired for the emperor himself daring to go to the battlefield, and he began to re-evaluate the emperor in his heart.

Thinking so, he was not in a hurry, and waited outside the city with peace of mind.

In the Jingshi City, when the emperor drove the expedition in person, all preparations were very efficient. The three battalions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, those who can change their clothes, have all changed their clothes. All the soldiers, in addition to an extra set of military uniforms, even the iron armor, nearly one-third of them have it. These iron armors were originally kept in stock, and the Han generals wore them during the Great Dynasty Meeting, which was the face of the imperial court, and no one dared to make up their minds. At this time, in the case of the royal driver's personal expedition, they were all taken out of the warehouse and used where they really wanted to use it.

On the ninth day of the sixth month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the weather was fine, except for the sick death, all the soldiers of the three major battalions under the command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor were assembled in the school field. The emperor was accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, and even the empress accompanied the crown prince.

The soldiers of the three battalions, those veterans have seen such occasions several times.

They always remembered very clearly, the first time was when their King Qin arrived on the outskirts of Jingshi, the emperor unexpectedly went to inspect them, walked among them, and made a promise to them, so that they could really know their emperor for the first time.

The second time, when it was a triumph, the emperor inspected them, relieved them, really took them to heart, and even the wounded soldiers were very concerned, and fulfilled his promise. Such an emperor has never heard of it before. At that time, they felt that they were really lucky to have such an emperor to be loyal in this life.

After that, the emperor would often come to visit them and make them all feel that the emperor was always there for them. They never encountered some of the bad problems they would have encountered when they were in the border army.

In the three major battalions, not only were they well fed and warmly clothed, but their salaries were higher than before, and there was no deduction at all. Therefore, all of them cherish this life very much, train hard, and even if the amount of training is far higher than before, none of them have a trace of complaints.

Because they still remember that the emperor once said that he would take them to conquer Liaodong in person. If they don't work hard, one day, when the emperor really wants to fulfill this promise, he may disappoint the emperor. This is the last thing they want to see!

Now, the emperor wants to personally recruit those thieves, and the veterans of the three battalions are full of confidence. Don't talk about it now, even when they were in the border army in the past, they could chase those thieves and kill them, and they believe that now they, who are more powerful, will definitely not disappoint the emperor's expectations. It will definitely be seen by the emperor that they have lived up to the emperor's expectations.

And the recruits in the three battalions, although they did not have as many impressions of the emperor as the veterans. However, they were refugees who had been plundered to Liaodong and were rescued in the Battle of Tianjin. When the family was ruined, they hated Jianyu to the core, and they couldn't wait to fight with Jianyu immediately, not to mention, now they have to fight the weaker thieves.

They also cherish everything they have now, knowing that this is the reason why the emperor can have everything now. After arriving under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, they also saw that the emperor would come over from time to time to see them train, so they were all in awe and at the same time they were also training seriously, which was not only to let the emperor see their hard work, but also to practice the ability to kill the enemy in order to avenge their hatred in the future.

At the same time, they naturally heard the emperor's bits and pieces from the veterans, and also understood that they could be saved by the veterans, and the emperor played a key role in that battle. Later, the emperor sent Chengyi Bo to settle them as soon as possible, which also made them feel the importance of the emperor.

Therefore, at this time, although they did not have the same experience as the veterans, it did not prevent them from being grateful to the emperor. They all stood there excitedly, watching their emperor get on the stage.

I saw that Emperor Chongzhen was dressed in military uniform, and he looked even more heroic. The soldiers of the three major battalions, after seeing the emperor's outfit, felt a little more close, and their eyes moved with the emperor's figure, with a hint of fanaticism.

Emperor Chongzhen went to the general's platform, glanced at the soldiers below, and felt their love for him, and he was very relieved. Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, now I feel that this kind of army has lived up to its expectations.

He didn't want to talk nonsense, and after standing still for a while, he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed diagonally upward.

The soldiers of the three battalions below looked at the emperor and saw that the sword reflected a dazzling light in the sun. Even the armor worn by the emperor reflected the sun's rays, shining like a god. At that point, there was a majestic figure standing, dazzling.

This is our emperor! Almost all the soldiers couldn't help but say proudly in their hearts.

Emperor Chongzhen shouted loudly: "All the soldiers, follow me to fight against the thieves and give the people of the world a peace, are you willing?" ”

Without prior ventilation, almost all of them shouted in unison: "Yes!" ”

This voice, although brief, gathered the hearts of all the soldiers and soldiers, deafening, echoing over the school grounds, echoing in the hearts of all civil and military officials, the queen and the crown prince.

As long as the eyes are not blind and the ears are not deaf, you can feel the love of these soldiers for the emperor.

The emperor's prestige in the army is something they didn't estimate before!

Looking at this scene, even the prince, who was just ten years old, saw that his eyes were full of little stars. In his eyes, the person in front of the general stage is no longer just the strict father who scared him! Even Empress Zhou saw another side of Emperor Chongzhen for the first time, with love for her man in her eyes.

Emperor Chongzhen on the stage, looking at the soldiers below, shouted with his own emotions: "Wan Sheng! ”

"Wan Sheng!" This time, it was not only the soldiers of the three major battalions who responded to the emperor, but even those generals who came with them. They all had an impulse to go out with the emperor!

After that, the emperor did not say any more superfluous words, and with an order, the three battalions were opened.

The army drove out of the barracks, and on the streets outside, the people of the capital had been waiting for a long time, watching this strong army of the Son of Heaven go out and look at the figure of the heroic emperor, they couldn't help shouting: "Wan Sheng!" ”

And Wu Sangui, who was outside the city, had already been notified, and had already led his cavalry to prepare for departure. Hearing the movement from the Jingshi and listening to the bursts of "Wansheng" shouts, for some reason, the blood that had disappeared seemed to be surging in the body a little again.

Emperor, are you coming?
