“…… In this attack on Yulin South Road, he originally wanted to take the lead in breaking through the Jingbian Acropolis and arresting Zhang Dacheng, the garrison officer of the Jingbian Guard, but he didn't expect that Lin Pingru, the general of Yulin South Road, and Huo Cheng, the garrison officer of Jian'anbao, happened to gather in Zhang Dacheng's garrison mansion that day to talk secretly, so he took the opportunity to serve them in a pot......"

Five days later, in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion of Huamachi Camp, He Zhang was reporting to Zhao Junchen the details of the new army's attack on Yulin South Road.

The civil and military officials of Huamachi Camp were lined up on both sides, all listening carefully to He Zhang's report.

As for Zhao Junchen, he sat quietly on the main seat, thinking thoughtfully about something.

Under the gaze of everyone, He Zhang continued to report: "Yulin South Road violated the military order this time, that is, these people were the leaders, and after arresting them, the entire Yulin South Road was already leaderless, so it only took more than two days to completely control Yulin South Road...... However, although the lowly post completed the task, after all, it exceeded the deadline and delayed a lot of time, and I ask Lord Qincha to punish him! ”

After finishing speaking, He Zhang lowered his head slightly, waiting for Zhao Junchen's decision.

Although He Zhang completed the task cleanly this time, it took more than nine days before and after, far exceeding the seven-day deadline set by Zhao Junchen at the beginning.

Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "The Huamachi camp is not far from the Yulin Military Town, and the journey time of the new army is indeed a little longer...... But considering that the formation time of the new army is still short, such a situation is inevitable, so I will not punish you, but this is the only time, and there is no precedent! …… In addition, the officers and men of the New Army have made great meritorious contributions this time, and their salaries have been doubled this month, and it is hoped that they will be able to make persistent efforts and bravely kill the enemy in future wars. ”

Now that the war is approaching, Zhao Junchen will naturally not easily punish his generals for such a trivial matter, not to mention that the deadline set by Zhao Junchen at the beginning is indeed a bit tight, to a large extent, it is just to put pressure on the new army of soldiers and speed up the run-in of the march of the soldiers, but it is not forced.

Hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, He Zhang's face showed gratitude, and he saluted: "Thank you, Lord Qincha, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be even higher after receiving the reward!" He assures him that the new army will never disappoint him again. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and asked, "What is the current situation of Yulin South Road?" After Lin Pingru and the others were arrested, there was no military attache in the place, and the situation could be chaotic and out of control? ”

He Zhang shook his head and replied, "The situation on Yulin South Road is still stable, and there is no chaos!" After arresting Lin Pingru and others, he quickly informed Wang Yan, the chief soldier of Yulin Town, and asked him to arrange officials to take over the power of Lin Pingru and others...... In addition, this time, he also incorporated most of the private soldiers on Yulin South Road, and also confiscated most of the war horses, armor, and firearms on Yulin South Road, so even if Lin Pingru and his party escaped, they would definitely not be able to make any waves...... It's just that the defense of Yulin South Road has also weakened a lot, and if it is attacked by the Mongol army, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it for too long. ”

After speaking, He Zhang took out an account from his arms and handed it to Zhao Junchen through Niu Fude.

Zhao Junchen opened the account and found that this account was all kinds of resources collected by He Zhang from Yulin South Road, with a total of more than 1,100 private soldiers, more than 500 war horses, more than 300 horses, more than 500 pairs of armor, and more than 700 muskets of various types.

Zhao Junchen couldn't help laughing and said, "After confiscating so many war horses, muskets, and armor, you have completely emptied the entire Yulin South Road...... But that's okay, the equipment of the new army is still a little insufficient, although I have the intention to make up for it, but the military depot of the Huamachi camp has been exhausted, and there is nothing to be done...... Well, these war horses, muskets, armor, and private soldiers on the South Yulin Road will all be added to the new army. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, He Zhang was overjoyed again, and once again assured Zhao Junchen that after the new army received these materials, he would definitely fight bravely and make meritorious deeds.

Zhao Junchen nodded, and said: "As for the defense of Yulin South Road, don't worry, if the Mongols want to attack Yulin South Road, they must first pass through Yulin North Road and Yulin Middle Road...... What's more, I have received information that the Mongolian right-wing coalition army that threatens Yulin has now divided more than 20,000 troops and moved westward, wanting to attack the Longnan region of Gansu together with the Dzungar Khanate, so Longnan in Gansu is the main direction of attack of the Mongols, and the vicinity of Yulin Military Town is just a feint attack by the Mongols, and it will not bear too much pressure. ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen mentioned the dynamics of the Mongols, He Zhang's face showed a serious look and asked: "My lord, I have been working on the South Yulin Road during this time, but I don't know about the dynamics of the border war, I only know that the Mongols have concentrated their forces to attack Longnan, Gansu, but I don't know how the war in Longnan is going?" Can you be on guard? Do you need to lead troops to support? ”

When asking, He Zhang's face showed an eager look, obviously because he was eager to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy to make meritorious contributions.

Regarding He Zhang's statement, a trace of satisfaction and appreciation flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes.

The military attachés and generals of the Shaanxi-Gansu border army are mostly afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and they are fierce and inward-looking, and Zhao Junchen's transfer of troops during this period can be said to have consumed countless scheming means, and everyone is perfunctory and procrastinating, even if it is Zhao Junchen's confidant and the commander of the forbidden army, Guan Wuyuan, is also the same, in this case, He Zhang's initiative to ask for war is really commendable.

While thinking about it, Zhao Junchen felt a little helpless in his heart, but he quickly gathered his thoughts and explained to He Zhang: "According to the intelligence, the Dzungar Khanate and its servant army totaled more than 40,000 people, and now they have invaded the territory of Gansu and rushed straight to Longnan, but the military towns in Gansu have been prepared in advance, and the guards of all prefectures and counties are heavily guarded, and the walls are clear, but they have not caused too much loss, and the Mongolian army has not attacked the cities outside Longnan, but only left some cavalry along the way as a containment, and by the way, the back road is guaranteed......

In addition, the Mongolian right-wing coalition army also sent more than 20,000 people to Longnan, all of whom were the elite of the Mongolian right-wing ...... Therefore, this time, the Mongols invested a total of more than 60,000 troops in the Longnan area, which is the absolute main force of the Mongols, if we can thwart their Longnan offensive, it will inevitably make the Mongols break their muscles and bones, and it will take many years to recover! ”

He Zhang's face became more and more serious, and he asked again: "How is the defense force in the Longnan region?" Will it be able to hold off the Mongols? When will the new army of soldiers come to support? ”

Zhao Junchen obviously had a plan, and replied: "I have arranged for Guan Wuyuan to lead 30,000 elite forbidden troops to Longnan to garrison, although the forbidden army is not strong, but they can still do it while stationed in the city, I also prepared a large number of defensive equipment for Longnan in advance, built a lot of fortifications, although the Mongols are menacing, but they want to break through Longnan is not so simple...... As for the new army, there is no need to dispatch for the time being, it is easy to scare the Mongols away, and when the Mongols begin to run out of strength, it will be the time for you to fight them decisively! The soldiers of the new army of soldiers are still staying in the Huamachi camp to rest, they have been running around for many days, if they are forced to go to the battlefield, I am afraid that the effect will not be good! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, He Zhang's expression was a little unwilling, but he also knew that Zhao Junchen's statement was reasonable, so he still bowed down and obeyed the order.

But at this time, a young general suddenly stepped forward behind He Zhang, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Qincha, most of the things about the attack on Yulin South Road are the responsibility of the new army, and the soldiers under the lowly and lowly positions are just fighting, and they are not tired, and they can go into battle to kill the enemy at any time!" I also ask Lord Qincha to allow the lowly post to lead the troops to Longnan, Gansu Province to support, and the lowly post will definitely make contributions to the retreat of the enemy by Lord Qincha! ”

This young general is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, his expression is full of excitement, and his attitude towards Zhao Junchen seems to be respectful, but there is a hint of vigilance and alienation.

This young general is naturally Qi Bin!

After attacking the South Yulin Road with the new army, Qi Bin returned to the Huamachi camp with He Zhang, and when He Zhang reported to Zhao Junchen, Qi Bin stood behind He Zhang.

Zhao Junchen also saw Qi Bin, but he was angry at Qi Bin's repeated violations of military orders, but he ignored him all the time, just pretending not to see it.

At this time, after seeing Qi Bin's statement, everyone present was shocked, they thought that Qi Bin would deliberately keep a low profile, but they didn't expect Qi Bin to take the initiative to stand up.

Seeing Qi Bin's plea, a trace of coldness flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes.

Qi Bin's request for life seemed to be impatient to go into battle to kill the enemy, but he did not take the opportunity to stay away from Zhao Junchen's control.

While the coldness flickered in his eyes, Zhao Junchen's expression was a little softer, as if he regarded Qi Bin as a confidant.

Zhao Junchen said: "Qi Bin's new army and the new army are the most elite troops of the Shaanxi-Gansu border army, and the tasks are the same...... General Qi rest assured, the matter of going into battle to kill the enemy will not leave you, and when the new army of soldiers rushes to the battlefield, your new army of Qi Bin will also act together...... This time, I asked Qi Bin's New Army and the New Army to attack Yulin South Road together, also to strengthen the tacit understanding between the two armies and prepare for future wars. ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, Qi Bin hesitated, but finally retreated silently behind He Zhang, and didn't say anything more.

At the same time, several shrewd officials in the lobby were shocked.

Zhao Junchen's words seem to be just ordinary, but in fact they contain evil intentions!

In front of everyone, Zhao Junchen actually called Qi Bin's new army "Qi Bin's new army"!

Prior to this, because of Zhao Junchen's subtlety, everyone called this army "Qi Bin New Army", but it was only a private name, but now it is a public occasion, and the civil and military officials of Huamachi Camp are all listed, and Zhao Junchen is still called "Qi Bin New Army", which is a big problem!

Since ancient times, whether it is the "Yue Family Army", "Yang Family General", or even the "Qi Family Army" formed by Qi Shaobao, the ancestor of Qi Bin, they are all titled by the name of the leading general, and it is deeply branded with the mark of the leading general, such an army will naturally be suppressed by the imperial court, no matter how meritorious and prestigious these armies are, the final outcome is mostly not a good end!

Now, Zhao Junchen calls Qi Bin's new army "Qi Bin's new army", doesn't this army compare with the previous Yuejia army, Yang family's army, and Qi's army? Once such a title reaches the ears of Emperor Deqing, what will Emperor Deqing think?

Qi Bin is just good at leading troops, he is not proficient in politics, and he is not aware of Zhao Junchen's evil intentions, so he acquiesced to the title of "Qi Bin's New Army" and jumped directly into Zhao Junchen's trap!

Zheng Jiadong, a scholar in Shaanxi, couldn't bear Qi Bin to fall into the trap like this, and after hesitating for a while, he planned to open his mouth to relieve Qi Bin!

However, at this moment, suddenly a staff member of the Governor's Palace stumbled into the lobby, his expression full of panic, as if the sky had fallen.

After running into the lobby, this staff member didn't care about etiquette at all, knelt directly in front of Zhao Junchen, and said in a panic: "Lord Qincha! Big, big things are not good! ”

Seeing the performance of this staff member, everyone was shocked!

What was it that could make him so out of shape?

Could it be that the war in Longnan has undergone an unexpected change?
