Chapter 173: The Eve of Change

Ding Chengli's subordinates had only detected more than a dozen carts escorted by 2,000 Ming troops, so he concentrated his men and horses to deal with this team. But he didn't expect that there was another rear team three miles away, so he didn't take precautions at all.

A group of puppet soldiers killed Huang Mingjun's men scattered and fled, and they were proud, without warning that thousands of soldiers and horses behind them had been killed hundreds of steps away, and then they suddenly realized.

Liu Ruolan was in a hurry to save the driver, and he couldn't take care of any formation and tactics, so he plunged into the enemy formation.

The recruits he brought had just been trained for more than a month, and they only knew how to follow Shuai Qi, so they also rushed up.

When the gunners in the back row of Ding Chengli's department saw the Ming army coming up, they approached hand-to-hand combat, and immediately rushed forward, and the sword and axe hands in the front row, which were originally in a neat formation, were rushed so indiscriminately, and they also became chaotic.

If calculated in terms of combat effectiveness, Ding Chengli's soldiers are also second-rate local defense troops, which are two points worse than the main force of Huang Mingjun's Ming army, so they can gain an advantage in the battle situation completely by surprise ambushes.

At this time, the formation was disrupted from the flank and rear, and the original form of the traditional Ming army was immediately revealed.

Although Su Guansheng's new army is all new soldiers, it is impossible to fight with real knives and guns at all, but at this time, the enemy army has been defeated, and it is always possible to chase after him with a knife. For a time, he drove the puppet captives out of the country, and killed many enemies from behind, but it also seemed unstoppable.

On the other side, when Jiang Zhengxibu was crumbling, he also suddenly saw that the enemy army began to stir from behind, and only a moment later he was defeated without a fight and began to flee.

Jiang Zhengxi's subordinates saw that Liu Ruolan was not far away, and he took the lead with dozens of henchmen to attack the enemy's waist, and he also hurriedly summoned his subordinates and cooperated with Liu Ruolin to chase and kill the defeated army.

Liu Ruolan rushed around the enemy formation, worried about the safety of the saint, and circled the horse to kill back near the queen's car, helping Huang Mingjun to clean up the remnants of the enemy around him, and divided three or four hundred people with swords and spears facing outward, and surrounded the "royal sword" in the middle.

Empress Zeng saw that the car was gradually calming down, so she looked out of the car window and saw that there were flags with the word "Su" all around. Another middle-aged military general with a face urged the horse to come, and said in a loud voice two feet outside the car: "The lowly escort is late, and the saint is frightened." ”

"The saint is fine, there is General Lao." Emperor Zeng sat in the car and asked, "The general is under the command of a scholar of Su University?" ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Queen, the humble position is the thousand presidents of the Su Pavilion Department, Liu Ruolan."

Empress Zeng nodded slightly, and then asked, "Where is Scholar Su now?" ”

"Su ......" Liu Ruolan was a little embarrassed, so he had to go back, "Su Gebu should chase the enemy there." ”

It wasn't until nearly two hours later that Huang Mingjun had led people to clear all the "captive troops" that were assassinated, and although Ding Chengli was not captured, he captured his deputy general Wang Xuan.

After interrogation, it was learned that Ding Chengli had not even made contact with Jianyu, so he led his troops to shave and surrendered ahead of schedule. This ambush is just to shoot some food and materials and get some "military merits" by the way, and it is convenient to ask for rewards after the Manchurians come.

It's just that Ding Chengli didn't know that his clever act of "showing loyalty" almost killed the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and had an extremely huge impact on the court pattern of the Ming Dynasty later.

Later, Huang Mingjun sent another person to send thousands of prisoners to Daejeon, and Wang Xuan beheaded Xiao Xiao on the spot according to Huang Daozhou's wishes, and ordered all localities to arrest Ding Chengli and other escaped thieves.

Besides, Su Guansheng only returned cautiously with 200 "reinforcements" from Datian City at this time, and did not hear the sound of fighting, and sent people to carefully investigate to confirm that the captives had been defeated, so he hurried to join the brigade.

Far away from the queen's car, he saw Liu Ruolan coming up, Su Guansheng hurriedly asked him about the battle, and when he learned that it was his new army that attacked the enemy from behind and saved the queen and the prince from being tired, he unexpectedly made a miraculous feat, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Su Guansheng immediately galloped to the front of Empress Zeng's car, first asked the queen and the crown prince if they were okay as usual, and then added fuel and vinegar to tell the queen about the battle situation that Liu Ruolan had told him just now.

It's just that under his description, the whole battle became his strategy, first watching the enemy's battle, seeing the enemy's weaknesses, and how to carefully order Liu Ruolan, so that he could lead the army to attack the enemy's flaws, and be able to break the formation.

He himself led people to respond everywhere, thwarted several attempts by the enemy to counterattack, and finally when the enemy army was defeated, he was worried that the troops were not enough, so he personally went to Daejeon to transfer 800 reinforcements. Now that the thief army has been destroyed and there are reinforcements, Her Royal Highness the Queen can rest assured.

"The Su Pavilion Department has made great contributions this time, and it is really a pillar of the society." Queen Zeng praised it greatly, compared to Guan Zhong and Le Yi.

On the side, Huang Mingjun and the others were fighting with the enemy at that time, and they didn't know what happened to Su Guansheng, although it didn't feel right to hear what he said, but they couldn't refute it.

As for Liu Ruolan, adhering to the consistent bad habits of the Ming Dynasty, the majority of the soldiers' military achievements are attributed to their bosses, so instead of demolishing Su Guansheng, he also helped him say a lot of things.

When the queen's car returned to the road, Su Guansheng also became a celebrity in front of Queen Zeng, and he had to be recruited seven or eight times a day to discuss matters, which was tied with Zodiac Zhou.

A few days later, the brigade arrived in Vinh Phuc County and entered the city for repairs. This place is less than 300 miles away from the capital.

Su Guansheng saw that the prince was about to return to the palace soon, so he couldn't wait to go to see the queen and said that he had been brewing for a long time about the "big event" these days.

"Oh? What is about the rise and fall of the society? Empress Zeng was a little surprised, "Please also ask the Su Pavilion Department to speak up." ”

Su Guansheng cleared his throat and said: "The heavenly position cannot be temporarily vacant, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return to Tianxing Mansion this time, that is, he will inherit the throne and become the emperor." ”

When Empress Zeng heard this, she leaned forward slightly, and the matter of the crown prince's succession to the throne was what she was most concerned about at the moment, and immediately said: "What Su Gebu said is extremely true. ”

Su Guansheng continued: "Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and after succeeding to the throne, Her Royal Highness the Queen will temporarily take charge. ”

Empress Zeng nodded in her heart, but she knew that he must have something to do, "Su Gebu, please continue." ”

"Her Royal Highness the Queen lives in the deep palace, and there may be inconvenience in foreign affairs, so the elected person will take care of the affairs for you." Su Guansheng paused slightly, didn't see any reaction from Queen Zeng, and said, "The minister asks Her Royal Highness the Queen to set up a minister to take care of your life, and announce it to the world in advance, and when the crown prince ascends the throne, you can help Her Royal Highness the Queen deal with the government everywhere, and the society should be as stable as Mount Tai." ”

Empress Zeng frowned slightly, but she didn't reply to him immediately, but said: "The Su Pavilion Department has thought it through, and it is true that the ministers should be arranged in advance." ”

Su Guansheng brought the great achievement of "saving the driver" this time, and he was determined to win the post of minister of life.

His palms were already oozing with sweat, and he took half a step forward at the moment, and arched his hand: "I don't know, is there a suitable candidate for Her Royal Highness the Queen?" ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard Empress Zeng say: "Minister Gu Ming, it is only appropriate for a pillar of the country like the Su Pavilion Department to serve as the pillar." ”
