Between the wing room and the main hall, there were more than a dozen heavily armed armored soldiers standing solemnly.

Under the iron scarf is a shiny iron neck, and the armor leaves of the iron armor are radiating cold light, and above the belt, there is a hanging waist knife, and each person still holds a spear or a fire gun in his hand, and some people hold a sword card in their hand.

A dozen or so people are actually well-equipped, with both long and short soldiers and long-range weapons, as long as they give an order, they can immediately form a mandarin duck squad suitable for street fighting, even if dozens or even hundreds of enemies suddenly pour in, this team of guards is not without the power of a battle.

While the military intelligence officer was sighing and observing, Min Yuanzhong had already walked out of the main hall quickly, stood under the eaves of the corridor and beckoned to the military intelligence officer.

Shen Lei didn't dare to slack off, and at the same time, there was no lack of excitement in his heart.

In any case, Min Yuanqi is an extremely famous figure in Yunti Pass and even in the prefectures and counties around Dahewei and Huai'an, and everyone is respected and prestige is extremely high here in Yunti Pass.

Although Shen Lei is an outsider, in the system, ordinary people have praised and admired Min Yuanqi a lot.

Even if there is no prestige layer, the person you are about to see in front of you can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, thousands of soldiers and horses in the palm of your hand and control a large number of nearby villages and towns, a large number of military households and ordinary people are dependent on Min Yuanqi, this place is equivalent to Min Yuanqi's own territory after adding the title of a battalion of garrisons, and he is also a governor and guerrilla general, a high-ranking official of the third grade, Shen Lei was a thief in the market before, and was often taken to the county by the government to show the public, and he couldn't even see what the county order looked like. Who would have thought that one day he would meet a big man of such an identity, excitement is inevitable.

"Don't be too idle." When Min Yuanzhong led this person into the door, he reminded: "After the ceremony, you will present the wax pills, and then you will answer whatever the adults ask." ”

"Yes, villains don't dare to make mistakes."

Shen Lei answered, and after entering the door, he felt that someone was still lighting a candle.

There is almost no redundancy in the hall, only a huge wooden figure hangs in the center, and then two rows of dozen or so circle chairs, and even the calligraphy, painting, tribute tables, etc., which are customary in ordinary halls, have been removed.

In the other room, there are cabinets, desks, and so on.

There is a bed on the east side, and someone is getting dressed and coming out, thinking that it is Min Yuanqi.

When Min Yuanqi came out in his clothes, Shen Lei quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Someone from the Military Intelligence Department?" Min Yuanqi said casually: "It's important to get down to business, don't be polite, don't kneel, remember next time, otherwise you won't have a chance to come to me again." ”

Although the military situation was urgent, he got up in the middle of the night, Min Yuanqi still joked with the person in the Military Intelligence Department in front of him.

At this time, most of the tension in Shen Lei's heart disappeared, and after getting up with a smile, he remembered Liang Shifa's previous order, just salute the army, and he broke the rules.

At the moment, he just hurriedly took out the wax pill in his arms, then broke the wax seal, and then presented it to Min Yuanqi respectfully.

When Shen Lei was doing this, Min Yuanqi had completely woken up, looked at Min Yuanzhong in front of him, Min Yuanqi smiled and said, "Yuanzhong, have you guessed what happened?" ”

"It's probably related to Liu Zeqing." Min Yuanqi said in a deep voice: "Gao Jie is blocked in Xuzhou, Liu Liangzuo is farther away, Huai'an is Liu Zeqing's confined, who can step past him to find the trouble of our Yunti Pass?" If there is any change in the imperial court, it is impossible to send troops and horses to come, it will not be an emergency military situation, and there will be no news at all on the other side of Huaiyang Road. ”

"Yuan Zhong, you can be regarded as experienced." Min Yuanqi praised it, and then took the letter that Shen Lei took out.

"Summoning Min Yuanjin, Min Yuanzhi, Yang Zaijin, Gao Cuncheng, Shen Liang and other military attachés above 100 to come over for discussion." Min Yuanqi swept the letter and immediately said, "Hurry, don't delay." ”

Although Min Yuanqi said it casually, and the tone of his words did not seem to be very anxious, but after Min Yuanzhong heard this, his body was shocked, and after hugging his fists, he hurriedly left.

Min Yuanqi began to ask Shen Lei about the details he saw along the way.

The situation of the miscellaneous troops, the weapons, the situation when the army walks.

Generals, armor rate, miscellaneous soldiers' morale, and the situation of Neiding.

the number of horses, and the distance between the departments, etc.

Shen Lei was sweating profusely when he was asked, the weather was originally a little hot, and Min Yuanqi's question was very detailed, Shen Lei originally felt that he had observed carefully enough, but after answering for about a quarter of an hour, he felt that he was a pig.

There are so many details that need to be paid attention to, I just looked at the surface of the floating skin, and as a military intelligence officer, I am really ashamed.

"You don't need to be nervous, either." Min Yuanqi said: "Liang Shifa's letter is also detailed enough, plus your words, in general, I almost know it, you are doing a very good job, now you can go down to rest, someone will take care of it, if necessary, you have to travel overnight to bring my reply to Liang Shifa." ”

"Yes, don't worry, my lord, I will get the errand done."

This time, Shen Lei didn't kneel down again, just gave a military salute, and then turned around and retreated.

Although the etiquette was not as solemn as when he knelt down, Shen Lei's inner feeling was that he had more respect for Lord Min.

This lord is indeed the same as the rumored one, and he is a lord worthy of his life.

When Shen Lei went out, Min Qiande, who was wearing a robe, arrived first, originally he was only in charge of foreign affairs and ignored military affairs, but in the past few days, he lived in the lower part of Min Yuanzhi near the Baihu Official Hall, and the father and son were awakened together, originally just summoned Min Yuanzhi, but Min Qiande wanted to come in to attend the meeting, which was not a violation, and of course Min Yuanzhong would not stop him.

Then Min Yuanzhi followed in, unlike Min Qiande who was wearing a jacket robe, although he was suddenly called up in the middle of the night, Min Yuanzhi's military robe was still neatly dressed and meticulous.

The gray round-necked quiver fit the body well, the tall and slightly thin figure was quite straight set off by the robe, and the belt hung with knives, flints, gourds and other personal items, and the waist knife hung on the other side.

With black boots on his feet and a black head on his head, the whole person is in good spirits, with a heroic posture and a tall posture, and he is ready to set off at any time.

Min Yuanqi also nodded with great satisfaction, this clan brother, it was a waste of time to study before, and he was born to be a good soldier.

From him, Min Yuanqi can also see the heroic posture of the ancestors of the Min family, it seems that there is always some truth in the inheritance of the bloodline, the ancestors of the Min family can get the position of commander of the guard in the million army under the command of Taizu, and there are also a number of serial positions, and its origin is not without reason.

Min Yuanzhi's expression was still relaxed, not as dignified as Min Qiande, and after saluting, he sat down on Min Yuanqi's next chair.

Then Yang Zhijin, Gao Cuncheng, Min Yuanjin and others came one after another.

Everyone sat down in turn, followed by Shen Liang, Min Zhenyuan, Li Junsun, Wang Wumai, Xie Xiang, Guo Shangyi, Xu Wenhuan and other military attachés arrived one after another, and some of them sat down, and some stood directly behind the chairs.

Soon, nearly forty people gathered together, all of them were the same as Min Yuanzhi, neatly dressed and calm.

Only in the depths of their eyes can these military attachés have a faint melancholy, but if it is not for the careful scrutiny of people who are extremely familiar with each other, such a little melancholy will not be visible.

Outsiders can only see that these people are neatly dressed and calm, and the strong sense of self-confidence after gathering together is even stronger.

Even the decoration of the robe is exactly the same, which will give people quite a strong psychological hint, this group of people is united and united, giving people a feeling of considerable strength and confidence, and there is also an unparalleled aura, which is reassuring and convincing.

This is the benefit of military manners training and dress code.

Take the current situation as an example, everyone's manners and clothing are strictly regulated in ordinary times, and no one is allowed to discount the implementation, and after a long time, it has become a subtle psychological suggestion.

Even when they were on vacation, they dressed according to the rules of the camp and paid attention to their appearance.

After a long time, the feeling that the soldiers of Yunti Pass are extremely elite and that they are the army of kings with military discipline will appear.

The degree of acceptance of recruitment by the surrounding people and military households is relatively high, mainly because the image of this army is originally excellent, if it is an army like the Shandong guest soldiers, I am afraid that everyone will avoid it, who is willing to send their children to such a military army.

Min Yuanqi looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Okay, except for Han Sen who led a hundred generals to suppress the pirates on Qinshan Island, the rest of the military attaches above the hundred generals are all here. ”

"I've seen adults."

Everyone who was sitting stood up and saluted Min Yuanqi together.

"Get the latest military intelligence sent by Liang Shi." Min Yuanqi didn't make false words, nor did he talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Liu Zeqing is not surprised, he is still going to attack us." ”

Everyone was silent, and most of them showed anger on their faces.

Today's events are not unexpected, but they are still coming earlier than imagined.

Moreover, Liu Zeqing also directly and brazenly sent troops, many military attachés had participated in the meeting at that time, and most of them felt that Liu Zeqing would send someone to negotiate and order Min Yuanqi to hand over most of the proceeds of Yanchi, and give the rest to Yunti Pass.

Although the Yuntiguan side still won't accept it, everyone's feeling is that it should be like this.

Only Min Yuanqi and Min Yuanzhi, plus Han Sen and others insisted that Liu Zeqing would directly send troops, and now it seems that most people still underestimate Liu's arrogance and cruelty.

Directly sent more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to bulldoze Yunti Pass and rob the salt pond, who dares to say that Liu is not?

After the establishment, Liu Zeqing's style of acting is like this, according to the degree of Min Yuanqi's understanding of him, his behavior is such a style, the details may be different, and the general direction is absolutely not wrong.

However, this person in more than ten years of career as a general, especially in Huai'an for more than a year to loot too much people's wealth, too much family wealth led to later after the surrender, was planted by the Qing court a conspiracy to rebel under the pretext, Shunzhi six years before the Ming Dynasty was named the third class baron will be arrested by the Qing court, in order to rebel against the crime, and his brother, son, nephew and several confidants and generals, were sent to the entrance of the Jingshi vegetable market, Liu Zeqing was executed by Ling Chi, and later the reason given by the Qing court was that the two ends of the first rat were repeatedly surrendered and rebelled.

It can be seen that such a sinister and undisciplined villain will not end well in the end.

Most of the generals of the Ming army who surrendered did not end well, and the Qing court used these eagles and dogs to win over them, and even directly crowned the king when Sun Kewang first surrendered, although he was the king of the people and the king.

After they have no use value, they are resolutely abandoned, and they do not care about eating ugly.

It is this shameless approach that is the cornerstone of the success of this foreign barbarian regime.

Just like Li Zicheng captured Prince Chongzhen and King Yongding, he first took them with him, and then said that he would not embarrass the children.

The Qing court directly beheaded these three, and the captured Emperor Hongguang, King Lu, and Emperor Yongli were all killed, and none of them were left.

None of the former Ming vassal kings who fell into the hands of the Qing court survived.

When Zheng Chenggong was wooed, he built a mansion in Beijing for Zheng Zhilong and gave him a high position.

Zheng Chenggong did not surrender, immediately turned his face, and shamelessly beheaded Zheng Zhilong and raided his home.

When he first entered Beijing, a Han official asked to shave his hair and was severely reprimanded.

For the heart of the Han officials, it means that the hair ornaments and clothes are at the convenience of the Han officials.

After Duoduo conquered Nanjing and Hangzhou, he immediately turned his face and ordered all Han people to shave their hair and make it easy to obey, and those who did not follow the military law were beheaded.

There was no room for negotiation, and it was determined with a large number of heads.

This style of doing things is similar to people like Liu Zeqing.
