ps: The clerical error in the previous chapter was written as Tong Yangxing, sorry, it has been modified.

Wu Mengming checked all the guards in the palace and found no slackness, so he walked out. As the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, who is in charge of the palace internal guard, he naturally does not need to be in the inner palace for twelve hours a day.

When he was about to leave the palace, a figure suddenly blocked the way.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know what's going on?" Wu Mengming sighed.

"Uncle Wu, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Princess Kunxing looked a little haggard, and her big eyes lost their former brilliance.

"What's the matter, you can say it, but let me state first, don't even think about leaving the palace." Wu Mengming said helplessly.

"I didn't want to leave the palace, I just wanted Uncle Wu to help me send a letter out." Princess Kunxing took out a letter and looked at Wu Mengming with anticipation.

"Is it a letter to that Chen Yue?" Wu Mengming did not answer the letter, but looked at Princess Kunxing with a solemn expression, this matter is too big, Kunxing, a princess who has not been out of the cabinet, communicates with a man in private, and the royal face is lost, and his Wu Mengming's head is difficult to protect.

"Uncle Wu, just help me, I know you have a way." Princess Kunxing had tears rolling in her eyes, and she was about to cry.

Thinking about the fact that Chongzhen had ordered Empress Zhou to choose a horse for Kunxing, it was said that a candidate for a horse had been preliminarily selected, Wu Mengming couldn't help but sigh and stretched out his hand to take the envelope. As the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, he can naturally send a letter out unknowingly.

This is the last time, and I will never care about Kunxing in the future! Wu Mengming secretly swore in his heart.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu, I know that you love me the most." Princess Kunxing smiled, jumped and ran away with the corner of her skirt.

......

Looking at the letter in his hand, Chen Yue's brows wrinkled from time to time, this is the Jinyi Wei sent from the Beijing Division overnight, in addition to the holy decree given to him by Chongzhen, it also includes the recently published Di Bao, which records the recent events in the imperial court, when he turned to one of them, Chen Yue couldn't help but be stunned, this one turned out to be a private letter from Princess Kunxing to him, and somehow it was sent over in the Di Bao.

Princess Kunxing told him one thing in the letter, that is, Empress Zhou had already selected a horse for her, and she had preliminarily selected a candidate, the son of an official from the Nine Grades of Taifu Temple named Zhou Xian.

From the officials of Jiupin, they are not much different from small families, and they are not in violation of the ancestral system, but why is Chongzhen so eager to marry his daughter, is it because he found out about himself and Princess Kunxing?

Princess Kunxing asked him to fulfill his vow in the letter, and Chen Yue remembered that he had made a bet not long ago that she would not marry within a year. In history, Princess Kunxing did not marry until the death of the Ming Dynasty, could it be said that all this will change because of herself?

Thinking of the cute and pitiful girl in the palace, Chen Yue couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Lord Binggen, what's going on?" Seeing Chen Yue's face change, the iron lion sitting at the bottom couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yue shook his head, didn't say much, but picked up the pen and wrote a letter, sealed it, painted it with fire paint, and handed it to the Jinyi Wei who sent the letter.

"Brother has worked hard, please give this letter to Brother Wu Liang of Xuanwumen Street." Chen Yue smiled, and a silver ticket was quietly stuffed over.

"You're welcome!" Jin Yiwei hugged his fists and turned to leave.

"A little thing happened at home," Chen Yue said to Tie Shi with a smile, "Brother Tie, let's continue." Now that your body has recovered, let's go to the township soldiers to help Brother Zhengping for the time being, and now that four or five thousand township soldiers have been recruited, he can't be busy alone. ”

"Lord Bingxian, why don't you let me go to the Xishan Army to lead the troops, but let me go to the useless township soldiers, isn't it because you can't look down on my old iron's ability?" The Iron Lion frowned and asked.

"If others don't know the prestige of your iron lion, how can I not know it, but the township soldiers are not useless, and many people will be selected into the Xishan Army in the future." Chen Yue said with a smile.

"After the township soldiers are trained, will I join the Xishan Army?" The Iron Lion asked with wide eyes.

"Of course, I'll keep the position of the right sentry for you!" Chen Yue is colorful. The Iron Lion was able to gather hundreds of heroes in just a few months, which shows that its ability to lead the army is more than enough to be a leader.

Chen Yue had already decided to expand the Xishan Army into one battalion and two outposts, with Yang Zhengping and Tie Shishi serving as commanders respectively, and three general flags were set up under each outpost, adding up to more than 1,500 people. Now the number of the Xishan army is only more than 240, and this time it has expanded by as much as six times, and the extra people are naturally selected from the elite of the township soldiers.

The 1,500 elite Xishan Army, supplemented by 3 to 5,000 township soldiers, this is the army that Chen Yue intends to form in the near future. It's not that he doesn't want to form more, it's because the weight of weapons and armor can't keep up at all, and the weapons and armor he captured after defeating the Mantars, together with the weapons he got from the warehouse of the Beijing Division last time, add up to only 1,500 people, and as for the village soldiers, they can only use crude spears or bamboo spears as weapons.

Although he occupied the entire mining area, confiscated all the coal mine owners, and seized a large amount of silver and money, in order to calm down the trouble he had caused, Chen Yue had already given half of the silver taels to Chongzhen, and the rest was not too much to raise the army, after all, such a seizure was just like this.

"Although Brother Tie also gathered hundreds of brothers not long ago, Yu also has a lot of experience in leading the troops. However, our Xishan Army is different from other armies, and Brother Tie also needs to be familiar with the military system of our army. As for your more than 40 brothers in the past, they were all put in my personal guard for a few days of training, what do you think, Brother Tie? Chen Yue asked.

The iron lion frowned, subconsciously thinking that Chen Yue was going to isolate himself and his brother, and then thinking about his performance in the face of Mantar, he couldn't help but feel a little astringent. He brought more than 500 brothers, but was almost wiped out by 50 Manchu Tartar cavalry, while Chen Yue only had more than 200 people, but he defeated more than 100 Manchu Tartar cavalry, the gap between the two can be described as huge!

"Everything is arranged by Lord Bingxian, those rabbit cubs should also train them well, they don't know how thick the sky is in the province!" The iron lion said with a big grin, secretly determined in his heart that he must also practice hard and learn this Chen Yue's ability to lead troops to fight. The Xishan Army was able to defeat the elite Manchu cavalry, and I am afraid that the most elite old battalion soldiers under the command of King Chuang were also quite inferior to them.

Seeing that the iron lion agreed to his arrangement, Chen Yue breathed a sigh of relief, he was most afraid that the iron lion would be unruly and unruly, after all, talents are rare, and there are not too many talents under his command who can lead the troops!
