Chapter 10: Emergency Military Intelligence
The atmosphere in the camp of the Flying Bear Regiment was a little strange, and in Zhu Cihong's glance, Qian Zhi, who had no subordinate relationship with the military division of the Privy Secretariat, couldn't help but lead the soldiers under his command to line up, and he was actually a little nervous.
"Good housekeeping." Zhu Cihong commented.
When Qian Zhi heard this, he inexplicably felt relaxation and joy rising in an instant.
"It's just the way a soldier should be...... In fact......" Before Qian Zhi could pretend to be humble, at this time, another soldier returned to the camp, and in addition, he brought a large number of panting generals.
It was Xi Bin who came back, and he took Ning Wei's certificate to the privy secretary of the Flying Bear Regiment. Soon, Xia Chen, the chief military advisor of the Privy Secret, ran over with the entire army.
Of course, Qian Zhi knew the chief military advisor Xia Chen. This Xia Chen is not an upstart parachuted from the Privy Council, but a veteran who followed Xu Yanqi to kill in front of him early in the morning, and was a brave man in the Beijing camp in the past, because he was still in the prime of life, he was recommended to enter the army school for further study, and he heard Zhu Cihong's lectures with his own ears, and later returned to the Privy Council to participate in the previous wars after the Flying Bear Battalion entered the dynasty, and then became the chief military advisor of the Privy Secretariat.
Because of this, Qian Zhi was surprised to meet the chief military advisor of the Privy Secretariat here.
Soon, Qian Zhi's surprised expression was overshadowed by another heavyweight surprise.
Because, Xu Yanqi also came. The chief general of the Flying Bear Regiment, Lang General Xu Yanqi came in person.
Xu Yanqi looked very impatient, and rushed into the camp with Xia Chen, and was relieved to see Zhu Cihong.
Soon, something that shocked and excited Qian Zhi even more happened.
Their beloved fierce general, Xu Yanqi, the Lang general who led the Flying Bear Battalion to win one big victory after another, saw that person and immediately bowed down. "The last general, meet my emperor! Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”
Xia Chen, the chief military advisor who was known as the wisest man in the regiment, followed: "Long live my emperor......"
There was a sudden sensation in the camp, and everyone scrambled to be the first, almost habitually saying: "Long live my emperor......
After Qian Zhi, Xi Bin and the others finished saluting, they all only felt like they were dreaming.
……
"Alright, alright." Zhu Cihong hurriedly went over and helped a few people up: "It's not good to have so many etiquette, and you have to learn the style of a civilian official in the army?" In the future, remember the order for me, go to war in the army, and everything should be given priority by military salute. I am not only the president of the Ming army, but also the commander of the Royal Guards. You will be addressed directly by the etiquette of the Legion Commander. Remember, between robes, military salute comes first! Okay, rush, something? ”
Of course, Zhu Cihong had a premonition that there was something urgent. He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that there are military secrets to be reviewed and processed all the time. Zhu Cihong thought that he could spare time now, so he secretly ran out to play for a while.
It's just that looking at the current scene, it is obviously expected to be different. Looking at Xia Chen and Xu Yanqi's eager expressions, they obviously knew that there was something important to deal with.
It's just that Zhu Cihong would never have thought that urgent military affairs would come so urgently and intensively.
Xu Yanqi beckoned Xia Chen to say.
Xia Chen immediately said: "It is indeed an urgent military situation, and the Privy Secretariat is already urgently arranging the deduction." This is specific information that needs to be reported to the Holy One immediately......"
As he spoke, Xia Chen took out a big red secret letter that had been sealed with lacquer. This is the sign of the highest level of secrecy.
Zhu Cihong calmed his face, waved his hand, and said, "Treat the soldiers, prepare a pair of pen and ink for me, and don't have to go anywhere else." Right here, I want to see. ”
There were already seats in the camp, although they were all simple tools for marching, but Zhu Cihong didn't care about this.
Soon, the little flags of this recruit camp were rewarded by them: to go to the baggage camp to open a small stove. And this camp became Zhu Cihong's temporary camp.
Zhu Cihong didn't like red tape, and asked Xu Yanqi, Xia Chen and others a few words about the current situation in the army, and everyone dispersed, in addition to adding the secret post of the Flying Bear Regiment, only Zhu Cihong and Ning Wei who were sitting on the soldier's bunk next to him were left in this camp.
And Zhu Cihong slowly opened one secret letter after another. This is a collection of military intelligence from all over the Privy Council.
"The acting king and the king of Zhou have secretly met in the palace of the Datong dynasty, and the acting king has agreed to the conditions of the reform of the sect domain, paying 100,000 taels of military silver and 30,000 stones of grain to reward the defenders......"
"There is an abnormality in the Western Tumut Department of Southern Mongolia, and the situation is unknown."
"The puppet Shun army divided its troops into two routes, and the northern route was Ren Jirong's partial division to the north, and the target was Datong Xuanfu and other border towns."
"Shanxi General Zhou Yuji led his troops to settle in Ningwuguan ......"
"The main force of the puppet Shun army was commanded by generals such as Li Zicheng, Li Yan, and Liu Zongmin, and went east out of Taiyuan, and the troops went to Jingcheng Pass."
"Supervisor Li Jiantai is stationed in Zhending ......"
……
One piece of information was revealed in Zhu Cihong's mind, perhaps because there was too much information, Zhu Cihong felt a little tired. Coupled with the hard work of arranging military affairs for several days, there was a feeling of discomfort in his throat, Zhu Cihong suddenly coughed lightly, and in the dim light of this small camp, Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a little dizzy: "In the past two days, military affairs and government affairs have been piled together, I am afraid that I am a little unwell......
Ning Wei became nervous: "Holy Lord, the last general will go and call the military doctor." ”
"Hmm." Zhu Cihong was not reckless, rubbing his temples to refresh himself, and at the same time lightly writing and drawing on the white paper.
"The matter of the reform of the clan domain, if the acting king's side is done, the border town should be fine in a short time. Xuanfu Datong is a border town with old qualifications, and if sufficient military resources are given to strengthen the control of civilian officials over the army, it will not be difficult for the soldiers to restore their confidence in persisting in combat. Now that I have conquered in person, as long as Ningwu Pass is not broken by Ren Jirong in a short period of time, then this road will be unhindered. Moreover, if I remember correctly, it was Li Zicheng who fought the battle of Ningwuguan before. And now......" Zhu Cihong's fingers moved on the map, and finally landed on the location of Jingcheng Pass.
"It has been replaced by Ren Jirong, which shows that the main force of the Shun army is the east road, not the north road. The pressure on the north road is actually not great, it's just that the pressure on the north road is small, and the pressure on the east road is greater. ”
On the east road, the most stressful is Jingcheng Pass.
This is one of the main roads from Shanxi to the Central Plains, and now, the hatred value of the Shun army has been attracted here. In the east of Jingcheng Pass, that is, on the Zhending Mansion, there is a big boss, the Ming Cabinet University Scholar, Inspector Li Jiantai. He led thousands of officers and troops to prepare to attack Shanxi, whether it was a nominal threat or a real threat, Li Zicheng would send troops to clean up Li Jiantai.
Of course, compared with the main force in the history of the Northern Expedition out of Ningwu Pass, Li Zicheng's change to Jingcheng Pass should be more because of Zhu Cihong.
It won't be long before Zhu Cihong will be able to leave Baoding.
His goal is the same as Li Zicheng.
"I just don't know...... When the time comes, will this battle be fought in Jingcheng Pass, or in Zhending Baoding Mansion......" Zhu Cihong squinted his eyes and thought carefully. Maybe I thought about it too deeply, and I didn't even notice the sound of footsteps outside.
Zhu Cihong's handsome tent was heavily guarded, and when Zhu Cihong began to think about the military aircraft, he didn't dare to have anyone disturb him. Therefore, even if Zhu Cihong heard it, he would not interrupt his thoughts, but would just think that maybe it was the military doctor brought by Ning Wei.
"Ahem...... Zhu Cihong coughed lightly again: "Also, although the pressure on the south side of the North Road Town is fine, the more northern Mo Nan Mongolian West Tumut Department is also a problem. Now that Southern Mongolia is the world of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this Tartar who was crippled by me will not give up. It is necessary to let the Jinyi guard keep an eye on it a little, and even, to do a good job of dividing the troops to the north. ”
"And now...... I'm going to play against Li Zicheng. So, first of all, decide where the battlefield is. At least, don't let him show up where we don't like. Ahem...... Zhu Cihong coughed lightly again, rubbed his head, and planned to rest for a while.
At this time, the footsteps outside became heavier and heavier.
A crisp girl said weakly, almost whispering close to Kong Luoling's ear: "Sister Luoling, it's here in the Bingchou Battalion, which is the recruit camp." It's that camp. But if you really want to go, there are so few people here......"
"Who wanted to come over at the beginning? Okay, you really want stage fright, I'll go by myself. Strangely, though, it's remarkably quiet. Kong Luoling stepped inside.
In the past, the military doctor came to make rounds, which one was not rushed?
Instead, Kong Luoling explained to himself, and said in his heart: "Maybe I didn't know that I was going to come to the doctor......
Thinking like this, he inexplicably felt his heart beat faster. As if he had a premonition that something was different, he lifted the tent, thought about it, and hung it up again.
Stepping inside, Kong Luoling suddenly saw a man in the room rubbing his head and coughing lightly.
Seeing this, Kong Luoling quickly entered the state: "I am a military doctor who came from the patrol, and you are sick." ”
"Hmm." Zhu Cihong was still writing on his desk, and he answered, but there was no reply. Xu is body is really a little uncomfortable this time, and his voice is also a little hoarse, becoming strange and difficult to hear. In this way, he is even more reluctant to open his mouth.
Kong Luoling was slightly stunned, and the beautiful female doctor, who was used to being treated like a fairy by the soldiers in the army, was actually given a cold reception. She suddenly became angry with the man in front of her, and then began to look at the man in front of her carefully.
The man was hunched at his desk, rubbing his temples, half of his face obscured. The face is vaguely familiar, and it is not a familiar handsome or an acquaintance. This handsome face looks very young, the eyebrows and eyes are a little immature, but the facial features are particularly angular, and the combination of handsome softness and the tough temperament of a soldier makes people have a special charm. What's even more rare is that such a man has not seen ordinary soldiers see her as the kind of admired star-eyed, indifferent, rational, and extremely calm expression.
It was this calmness that made Kong Luoling deeply imprinted this scene in his heart.
"Ahem...... It's almost thought about. Ning Wei, note. Ahem......" Zhu Cihong suddenly coughed violently, and his head was dizzy, making him suddenly lie on the desk, looking extremely weak.
Just when Zhu Cihong struggled to get up, a pair of cold and white soft cheeks fell on Zhu Cihong's forehead, making Zhu Cihong, who was holding half of his face, stunned.
"Fever, body heat. Is it pain in the left rib? A hot air came to his face, revealing a slight fragrance, and the official words with clear and standard words sounded, and the volume came with a concerned greeting, straight into his heart. Kong Luoling directly consulted.
Zhu Cihong listened in a daze, and had some doubts in his heart, but under this inexplicable fragrance and concern, he still subconsciously recalled it, and found that his left rib was still a little painful. He sighed, knowing that he was really sick. However, when he thought of so many important military aircraft just now, he couldn't take care of it, shook his head and said: "It's a little painful, a little thing, it's okay." Where did Ning Wei go? Forget it, it's definitely not there. In that case, write down the order. ”
"The Western Tumut Department of Southern Mongolia can strengthen exploration and find out abnormal movements."
"Li Jiantai is in Zhending, and Li Zicheng will be killed soon. Let him go out of the city and help Jingcheng Pass. ”
"And the second regiment...... Ahem...... Zhu Cihong coughed violently again, lying on the desk, unable to slow down for a long time.
……
Kong Luoling looked at the scene in front of him helplessly and said, "Since you are sick, you must treat it well." Good little soldier, thinking about what military aircraft are big things. Though...... I don't understand a word. ”
Regarding the nonsense of the young man in front of him, Kong Luoling didn't pay attention to it, and said in his heart: Since this little soldier Ying'er looks down on is thinking about military aircraft when he talks nonsense, at least he is a motivated and meritorious person. That sentence of command looks a little powerful, it should be a talented learner.
Thinking like this, Kong Luoling became nervous, reached over and grabbed Zhu Cihong's hand, gently checked the pulse, and recalled what he had learned at the beginning, "Heat is a disease, there is external and internal. The outside can be moved, there is a fixed place inside, does not follow the order of the scriptures, is given to the combination, similar to the temperature, fundamentally heterogeneous, the transmission of the meridian heat, the volcanic qi becomes warm, the doctor does not know, think that it is one, so killing, can not be extremely poor. ”
She instantly thought of the discussion in Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases". The body is hot, the left flank is painful, the pulse is counting, and most importantly, the serious is the wild babbling. Obviously, this is a hot evil multiplying the liver.
"The heat and evil take advantage of the liver, and you have to find the recipe for the bile soup of Coptis skullcap and Banxia pig." Kong Luoling shouted loudly: "Ying'er, go and find two taels of Coptis chinensis, three taels of skullcap, one liter of Banxia, and one piece of pig guts (take juice)." For the right four flavors, take six liters of water, boil the three flavors first, take three liters, remove the trickle, absorb the bile and combine, and make each other get along. Take it for this soldier! ”
"Hello ......" Deng Ying'er outside responded loudly and went quickly.
Zhu Cihong listened to the woman's clean treatment, and he didn't have the strength to argue, since the doctor of the military hospital prescribed a prescription, then it was better to eat.
It's just that the doctor really treats himself, so he can't call others in vain, and he is a little reluctant to go, Zhu Cihong shook his head helplessly, straightened up, and planned to find someone to pass the order himself. It's indeed a little inconvenient not to be in the handsome tent.
It's just that Zhu Cihong's onset of illness came urgently, and his heart was still strong, but his body didn't cooperate, so he just stood up and suddenly made his feet weak and he was about to fall to the ground.
Immediately afterward, a shy and flattering exclamation sounded: "Oops......" (To be continued. )
