When Ji Jue said this, a series of crisp bells rang behind their group.

Ji Jue and Luo Rucai turned their heads to watch together, only to see that there was a huge caravan slowly coming from the Jingxi Post Road in the direction of Jingshi Fuchengmen.

There were hundreds of caravan men riding horses in front and behind, and their sheepskin jackets made it clear at a glance that this caravan was from the cold Saibei.

Luo Rucai stared at this huge caravan from far to near, and watched with wide eyes as there were more than four hundred tall camels loaded with goods, walking in front of his eyes in an endless stream until the unpleasant smell that permeated the air dissipated, until the camel bell disappeared into the city gate hole in the distance.

When he returned to his senses, he saw another long mule and horse convoy in the distance, heading in the direction of Fuchengmen.

Luo Rucai was stunned to himself, thinking about the last words that Ji Jue had just said to him, when he suddenly heard Meng Xianjie, who Wu Sangui had left behind to lead the team, shouting loudly:

"Hide a little! Hide! Get out of the way and let these coal-carrying convoys enter the city first! ”

When Meng Xianjie was in the northwest, he was also a master who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but when he arrived at the gate of Beijing City, he had to be a little cautious.

Who knows if these ordinary people who carry coal and pull goods are the servants of some powerful family in Beijing?!

Luo Rucai heard Meng Xianjie's scolding, of course he knew that the half-grown man surnamed Meng was not aimed at him, but he was also unhappy in his heart.

But he still had to get off the mule with Ji Jue, lead the mule to the side of the road, and watch dozens of four-wheeled carts pulling coal pass by.

The soot raised by the wind all the way made him and Ji Jue all over their faces.

Luo Rucai looked at the cars walking away, and then looked at Meng Xianjie, who was scolding and scolding the team, and then sighed, looked at Ji Jue beside him and said:

"Why didn't I see what you said? It's this caravan coming and going, this mule and horse cart carrying coal into the city, it's also hot to watch!

"It's fucking weird! This Ming Dynasty was about to kick his legs when he saw it! didn't think about it, I changed to an emperor Lao Tzu to sit in the country, this damn thing, I came back to life again! ”

After Luo Rucai finished speaking, he looked up at the tall and majestic Beijing City in the distance, shook his head in frustration, sighed and said:

"That's it! That's it! After all, it is still Lao Tzu Fubo, and there is no number of lives that sit in the world! Let Lao Tzu stay in this Beijing city, take a good look at his surname Gao and his surname Zhang, and see if they have the fate to sit in the world! ”

As soon as Luo Rucai's words fell, he saw that Wu Sangui had already led a team of men and horses galloping from inside the Fucheng Gate.

Luo Rucai and Ji Jue were separated by a distance, and they all looked at the people and horses led by Wu Sangui.

I saw this team of 100 people, all wearing helmets and armor, fresh clothes and angry horses, looking mighty and extraordinary.

If you look closely, everyone has a musket on their backs, a Qi knife hanging from their waists, and a leather box on one side of their waists.

Luo Rucai and Ji Jue both understood the purpose of the box, and knew that it was the true power of the official army.

Because it contained the projectiles needed by the officers and musketeers and the gunpowder packets specially prepared for the Chongzhen musket.

As soon as they saw this equipment, they immediately knew that the person who came was not a certain town of the Guards, but must be the most elite Jingying in the legend of the Ming Dynasty.

Luo Rucai and the others guessed correctly, the one who followed Wu Sangui was the first part of the Shenji Battalion guarding the inner city of the Beijing Division, that is, Wang Tingzuo, the former army of the Shenji Battalion who led the team to garrison Fuchengmen.

And this Wang Tingzuo is the younger brother of the Imperial Court of Wu Anbo, the commander of the Fourth Town of the Guards, and he is also a graduate of the second phase of the Wutang.

In addition to the relationship between the two of them, Wang Tingzuo can also be regarded as Wu Sangui's junior.

Wu Sangui showed the military aircraft he carried, entered Fuchengmen, and saw Wang Tingzuo, everything was easy to do.

After a quick report and request, Liu Wenbing, the emperor's cousin who was in charge of the defense of the inner and outer cities of the Beijing Division, quickly agreed that the five hundred soldiers of the Fourth Town of the Guards Army would take Luo Rucai and others into the city first and settle in the city of Fuchengmen Urn.

At the same time, while Wang Tingzuo was in charge of contacting the matter, he sent someone to the Jinyi Guard Command Department to report the situation, while Liu Wenbing himself personally went to the Forbidden City to report the matter to his cousin Emperor Chongzhen.

Others may not know that Emperor Chongzhen attaches great importance to this Luo Rucai, but as one of Emperor Chongzhen's most trusted figures, Liu Wenbing knows.

Of course, knowing is knowing, Liu Wenbing actually doesn't understand.

In his opinion, if this Luo Rucai is really a threat to the Ming Dynasty, he can kill him directly, in this way, once it is a hundred, what kind of fame can a dead person make?

If it is said that this is a meritorious man of the Northwest Front, killing him will damage the credibility of the imperial court, but what kind of credibility can be said to a thief leader who has killed countless people?

Besides, now this cousin in front of the emperor has a bad reputation, even if it is bad, how bad can it be?

It's just that these words, Liu Wenbing can only bury them in his heart.

Even if His Majesty the current emperor's biological mother is his aunt, his father Xin Lehou is the emperor's maternal uncle, and he is the emperor's cousin, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense.

Liu Wenbing is very self-aware, knowing that he has no ability, and the reason why he can sit in his current position is all because of his loyalty to the emperor and the blood relationship between him and the emperor.

For the management of the Shenji Battalion, he basically relies on Zhu Guoyan, the veteran of the Shenji Battalion, and for the management of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division of the Beijing Division, now he relies on Yan Yingyuan, who was born as a military attache in front of the imperial army and is deeply trusted by the emperor.

And his biggest strength is that Emperor Chongzhen will do whatever he asks him to do, and he will do what he wants, never asking why.

Anyway, he is assigned to someone else, and he only plays a role in giving orders and supervising the execution.

Regarding Liu Wenbing's routine, now Emperor Chongzhen wanted to change it at first, and often called him to his side to call him to his ear.

Emperor Chongzhen very much hoped that this cousin of his maternal uncle's family could grow up as his right-hand man as soon as possible, just like his brother-in-law Gong Yonggu.

But after a year or two, I can't see any obvious effect of my various points on Liu Wenbing.

In the end, I found that my cousin Liu Wenbing's routine also worked well.

Although his own abilities are limited, he is very good at letting go of those who are capable of relying on them.

After two or three years, it is not obvious, and the various units of the Shenji Battalion stationed in the inner city of the Beijing Division have been sorted out in an orderly manner.

At the same time, relying on the efforts of Yan Yingyuan and others, they also adjusted the long-standing shortcomings of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in the inner and outer cities of the Beijing Division.

Let's say that Luo Rucai and Ji Jue followed Wu Sangui, Wang Tingzuo, Meng Xianjie and others from Fuchengmen into the Beijing Division, and in the afternoon of the same day, the two of them were officially handed over from the hands of the Fourth Town of the Guards Army to the Jinyi Guard Command Envoy.

Then three days later, Emperor Chongzhen personally summoned Luo Rucai in the Wuying Hall in the Forbidden City.

Because Luo Rucai was appointed to the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the commander of the Sizheng Sipin, and the affairs of the Jinyi Guard have always been the emperor's own affairs, and there is no need for the ministers of the Cabinet, the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of War to participate in the handling.

Therefore, this time, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Luo Rucai in the Wuying Palace, except for Gong Yonggu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Wu Sangui, who led the team to escort Luo Rucai to Beijing, only a few people appointed by the emperor participated.

For example, Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch of Dongchang, Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, Chu Xianzhang, the eunuch in charge of the military attache of the imperial chamberlain, and Niu Juming, the only one in the Jingshi court, who wrote in favor of the emperor to leave Luo Rucai as a standby.

Niu Juming, who has been responsible for drawing the graphics of the world and making the sand table model of the emperor's land, is very keenly aware of Emperor Chongzhen's great attention to the northwest, and also very keenly aware of Emperor Chongzhen's many plans for the northwest region.

In his opinion, if the current Ming Dynasty goes all out to exterminate the thieves in the land of the Longxi River, it will not be difficult for it to happen.

The emperor put all his work into one battle and did not take it, but instead drove the thieves westward, the purpose of which was certainly not simple.

The first is to use the hands of the army of thieves to force a large number of Mu Suman, who are now gathered in the Hexi Corridor, to continue to move westward.

The second is to use the hands of the army of thieves to serve as the pioneer of opening up to the west, retake the Western Regions, and restore the western frontier of the Han and Tang dynasties.

And this is also the suggestion that Niu Juming made to Emperor Chongzhen in his own strategy on the first year of Chongzhen's Enke palace test.

It's just that at that time, he didn't expect that the young Emperor Chongzhen would use the current method to achieve this purpose.

Niu Juming didn't know how far Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were to the west, but he himself at least saw Moxi Mongolia west of Hexi.

Therefore, when the news of Luo Rucai's surrender came, Niu Juming saw Luo Rucai's usefulness.

If the imperial court kills Luo Rucai like Hong Chengchou did when he killed Wang Ziyong and others, it will completely lose the opportunity to surrender and use Gao Yingxiang and other thief leaders in the future.

Now that Luo Rucai has fallen into the hands of the imperial court, if you want to kill him, when can't you kill him?

If he waited until the use value of Gao Yingxiang and other bandit leaders was completely squeezed out before killing him, wouldn't his life still bring some benefits to the imperial court?

At the very least, it should be killed only after the imperial army's army has truly pacified the Jin State after the establishment of the captive Houjin, and when the imperial court really has its hands free and goes all out to solve the northwest problem.

At that time, whether to kill him or not is not just a sentence of the emperor?
