Less than half of the people present were from Jingying or had a very close relationship with Jingying, and it was clear that Jingying was completely worthless.

Although there are still 100,000 officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp in name, they are completely just imaginary numbers, and the real number may be less than 10,000, and there are only four or five hundred people who practice in the battalion every day, and only one or two thousand people really have a little combat effectiveness.

In this case, it is not an incomprehensible fact that the Beijing camp collapsed before fighting, but the only force that can really come in handy in the capital is the Beijing camp, and since the Beijing camp collapsed without a fight, the Beijing division could not defend it at all.

It's just that everyone has a deep affection for Jingying, and they all sighed a lot when they heard that the two-hundred-year-old Jingying was finally such an ending, and Shi Chaoli said there: "Little uncle, that's just Beijing Jingying, Nandu and Nanjing Jingying have a sincere Bo's Xinjiangkou Camp Water Army, as long as Niangniang arrives in Nandu, she can rebuild Jingying." ”

Liu Yongxi knows very well that whether it is Beijing Jingying or Nanjing Jingying, it is actually all the way, even if it is the new Jiangkou battalion of Admiral Liu Kongzhao, the naval army is also not strong, if you want to have the power of self-protection in troubled times, you must strike iron and you need to be hard, you have to seize every opportunity to enhance your strength.

Tong Yi immediately asked another question that everyone was concerned about: "Little uncle, since the thieves have entered the Jingshi City, should we set off to the south now, if it drags on for too long, I am afraid that the thieves will not catch up." ”

He is now a frightened bird, and he wants to go south as soon as possible when he thinks of staying in the territory of Beizhili.

Liu Yongxi replied: "It is precisely because the thieves have arrived in the capital that our safety is guaranteed, is our small Japanese fleet still important?" Even if the thieves enter the capital, they will have to toss it well, and it is impossible to send troops to chase after them as soon as they enter the capital, so let the soldiers rest assured and set off tomorrow! ”

Everyone felt that Liu Yongxi had some truth in what he said, and he was finally relieved, and Zhang Guoji, the Taikang Marquis, said: "Then do it according to the meaning of Xiao Chengyibo!" ”

When I set off the next day, I got some rumors about the capital, but the fleet had returned to its peak condition after two days of rest, and I heard that the thief Li Zicheng had attacked the city of Beijing, so he naturally couldn't wait to set off immediately.

It's a pity that Liu Yongxi's plan to recruit troops on a large scale also came to an end, although he gave enough settling-in allowance and allowed to advance military salaries, Fuding only recruited more than 30 recruits in total.

And Liu Yongxi's expectation was that he hoped to replenish at least a hundred recruits, but Fu Ding was his own family, so he couldn't blame Fu Ding: "Brother Ding, I thought about this abruptly, we can always raise enough soldiers all the way south!" ”

After all, although the people of Cangzhou are brave, they have experienced relatively few military affairs, and few people are willing to leave their homeland to fight for wealth with real knives and guns, and Fu Ding has some ideas: "Little uncle, are you preparing to expand the army on a large scale this time, I heard that many people have heard the rumors!" ”

Everyone heard that Liu Yongxi had set a list of rewards and promotions, but due to the rush of the capital to the south, the matter of rewards and promotions was temporarily shelved, but many people already knew that they were on the promotion list, and as long as they didn't make mistakes during this time, they would definitely have a chance to be promoted.

Liu Yongxi replied very clearly: "Now is the real troubled times, as long as there are conditions, we must expand the army on a large scale, otherwise we will not be able to protect ourselves at all, let the brothers rest assured, I, Liu Yongxi, will not treat the meritorious men badly!" ”

After getting Liu Yongxi's reply, a group of meritorious ministers behaved very positively, after all, a fame and wealth are close at hand, but although Liu Yongxi has set a specific list of rewards and promotions, there are variables after all, and if he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know how many years he will have to wait.

Liu Yongxi let the Cangzhou recruits go south by boat, but let the old brothers take turns to go south with the horse team by land, in the past, some people must have jumped out to resist this kind of thing, but now the old brothers are rushing to go south with Liu Yongxi, so that Liu Yongxi can see his performance all the time.

The fleet of Sincerity Bofu soon entered the territory of Shandong, and the Cangzhou recruits who were about to be stuffy on the ship finally had a chance to get off the ship and relax, but Shi Chaoli saw the doorway: "Niangniang, since these Cangzhou recruits have arrived in Shandong, they can only follow us south, Xiao Chengyi Bo is really calculating!" ”

After the battle of Cangzhou, Empress Zhang continued to live in seclusion, maintaining a situation close to seclusion, but because everyone rarely saw Empress Zhang, they would feel that she was like a person in the sky, and they all agreed that she was the first person in this fleet, and the next time I saw Empress Zhang, I am afraid that it will be a decisive scene of beating drums and supervising the battle.

It's just that although Empress Zhang rarely shows up, she knows the situation of the entire fleet well: "Shi Fengyu said that if these Cangzhou recruits were not allowed to board the ship at that time, I am afraid that they would have run away now?" ”

Shi Chaoli can be said to know these little tricks well: "That's obvious, people leave their hometowns, who wants to leave their homeland for no reason, but since they have already taken the little uncle's settlement silver and military salary, and they are native to their hometown, we can't find anyone at all when we drill on the side of the road, but it's different when we get on the boat!" ”

When Shi Chaoli said this, Empress Zhang already understood: "It seems that our little Chengbo is not only a good soldier, but also very old-fashioned!" Jinran, what do you think? ”

Jinran, the pretty little palace maid sitting on the side, also felt that Liu Yongxi was an extremely rare talent: "Then it depends on when the mother is going to go to the altar to pay respects?" As the so-called suspicious person does not need to be employed, no suspicion is not suspicious! ”

Shi Chaoli was furious in his heart when he heard the little palace maid say this, he felt that this was a major national event related to the survival of the society, and he didn't dare to talk too much as a minister, and a little palace maid actually dared to go to Queen Zhang and say that she was not ashamed to regard national affairs as a child's matter, and stole all his limelight.

But Shi Chaoli also knew that this little palace maid was a popular person in front of Empress Zhang, so he could only hold back his anger and wait for Empress Zhang to be furious.

It's just that Empress Zhang was not angry but happy about Jinran's answer: "What Jinran said does have some truth...... But Xiao Chengyi Bo still owes a little sincerity, what is it to let me eat pickled horse meat every day, although it is different from the past, but Xiao Chengyi Bo must not only think things clearly, but also know how to be a person! ”

Speaking of this, Queen Zhang couldn't help laughing: "When Xiao Chengyi not only doesn't send pickled horse meat, but also comes to me every day to ask me to summon me, I will go to the altar to worship the general." ”

Speaking of this, Empress Zhang suddenly became happy, she was thinking about the scene of summoning Liu Yongxi every day.

The fleet continued south, only after passing Texas it was a different story.

Along the way, the city is full of mounds and ruins, full of thorns, and white bones like mountains.
