At the beginning of April of the second year of Jingtai, Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, led his troops to Tongzhou City.

At this time, the crowd outside Tongzhou City was crowded, and all the officials of Tongzhou City, who had already received the news, gathered outside the south gate to wait, and the people near the left gathered tens of thousands of people to watch near the official road, vying to see the demeanor of the strong army in Shandong Town.

Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also waited here with a group of officials of the Ministry of War, and some officials from the court also came, but most of them were military attaches in the court, and there were almost no civilian officials.

Everyone didn't wait long, and then they saw a puff of smoke and dust in the south, and then they saw countless flags waving, accompanied by bursts of iron hooves, and two thousand ironclad iron cavalry soldiers came in formation, and they saw everyone's hearts swaying.

Immediately after, Yu Qian and the others vaguely heard a majestic battle song coming, and couldn't help but be amazed.

"Ahead, our blood is strong, fresh, and the tiger and wolf;"

"Ahead, our steps are sonorous, and in the wind and rain, our generation puffs up his chest!"

"Ahead, our blood is hot, and we will be loyal and righteous on our shoulders!"

"Ahead, the iron flow is rolling forward, riding the wind and waves, shaking in all directions, unstoppable!"

"We light the dawn of peace, we guard the well-being of the people, we are full of pride, galloping across the field!"

"Look at the land of Kyushu, the glory of the Ming Dynasty is blooming;"

"Look at our soldiers, hold the steel gun tightly with both hands!"

"The ironclad thousand armies are mighty and majestic, the tragic songs of our generation are stirring and the fighting spirit is high, and the Ming battle flag is always fluttering, shocking the Quartet, and the prestige is far and wide!"

Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and everyone present were a little distracted, and the two thousand iron horsemen of Shandong Town sang loudly, and a murderous aura suddenly rushed towards them, so that everyone had a feeling of generosity and sadness in their hearts, and many of the generals who came to greet them were slightly red, obviously moved by this war song.

Yu Qian also sighed slightly, and said secretly: "This is the style of my Daming Iron Cavalry, and General Liu really has the style of an ancient general!" ”

When he got closer, Liu Juntao raised his hand to signal the army to stop, and the two thousand iron horsemen suddenly stopped in place, and the two thousand knights and two thousand war horses stopped in place almost at the same time, neatly and uniformly, without any chaos, so that the surrounding officials and people were stunned.

Yu Qian also gasped, and said secretly: "This kind of elite soldier, even the reorganized three thousand battalion elite cavalry can't be compared!" Liu Zongbing is really a general! ”

Liu Juntao turned over and dismounted, and took Liu Zi'an and Tang Yu to meet Yu Qian.

Yu Qian laughed and said, "Mr. Liu went all the way north, and he worked hard!" ”

"Doing things for the imperial court, this is what a humble duty should do!"

After speaking, Yu Qian exchanged greetings with Liu Juntao again, and then said: "It's not too early, General Liu will lead his troops to camp in the south of the city to rest for a while, and wait for the specific orders of the military department." ”

Liu Juntao couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Yu Qian to make such an arrangement, he led his troops all the way to the north, and the imperial court didn't let the soldiers enter the city to rest!

"Bingxian, the soldiers have worked hard all the way, isn't it ......?"

Liu Juntao asked tentatively, only to see Yu Qian pause, and said in a deep voice: "General Liu is not strange, this is also a matter of no choice, it is better to stay in the south of the city for a few days and wait for the order of the military department!" ”

Hearing this, where would Liu Juntao not understand? It must be those civilian forces in the DPRK and China who are obstructing it and want to give themselves a disadvantage!

Liu Juntao's face instantly turned cold, and he clenched his fists and said, "Humble and orderly!" ”

Yu Qian sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head and said, "That's it!" General Liu will set up camp first, and the military department will send supplies over as soon as possible. ”

Subsequently, Liu Juntao ordered the soldiers and horses to camp in Wuli, south of Tongzhou City, and prepared to wait for further orders from the military department.

And Yu Qian also took a group of subordinate officers into the camp to inspect, only to see that the two thousand iron cavalry were distributed in an orderly manner, and the camp was also in order, which made Yu Qian and others praise it.

That night, Yu Qian and other subordinate officers of the army had dinner in the camp, during which Liu Juntao also inquired about the dynamics of the DPRK.

Yu Qian's expression darkened, and he said: "General Liu doesn't know anything, now that the Chinese official forces of the DPRK have begun to move, the generals installed in the various departments of the Gyeonggi garrison have begun to make noise, preparing to secretly resist this reorganization. At the same time, many ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee also secretly stumbled, and the money and grain mobilized by the military department and the household department for this reorganization were also delayed in arriving. So ......"

Liu Juntao nodded when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Bingxian doesn't have to worry, he has his own way to let those little ones come back!" ”

"What is Mr. Liu going to do?"

Liu Juntao could see that Yu Qian was worried about what he was doing, so he said: "Bingxian can rest assured, those who are lowly and proportionate will not mess around." But when necessary, the lowly position will still be tougher! ”

Yu Qian sighed, which can be regarded as recognition.

Early the next morning, Yu Qian rested in the camp for the night, and then left the camp with all the subordinate officers of the military department and returned to the capital.

Liu Juntao ordered 2,000 iron horsemen to guard the camp and not to enter and leave at will, and those who violated the order were severely punished.

Before getting familiar with the situation in the capital, Liu Juntao was still ready to stand still for the time being, so as not to be passive.

But he didn't expect that in the afternoon, Liu Juntao was discussing affairs with Liu Zi'an and Tang Yu in the big tent of the Chinese army, and received a report from the soldiers: "Qiqi Town, two imperial historians came from outside the camp, saying that they wanted to test our army camp!" ”

When Liu Juntao heard this, he sneered and said to Liu Zi'an and Tang Yu: "It seems that those civil officials in the court are ready to make a move!" ”

Liu Zi'an said: "How is the town going to respond? ”

Tang Yu also said: "It's better not to come forward first, let me and Minister Liu go to meet these two imperial histories for a while!" ”

Liu Juntao said: "No need! ”

Then, Liu Juntao said to the soldiers who came to report: "Stop those two imperial historians and don't put them in the camp!" ”

Liu Zi'an frowned slightly and asked, "Zongzhen, is this appropriate?" Will it let the civil officials of the DPRK and China seize the handle? ”

"Humph! Those two imperial histories have neither the documents of the Ministry of War, nor the will of His Majesty, what qualifications do the two small imperial histories have to test the officers and soldiers of our army! It's just hubris! If the town didn't take it down, it had already given those civil officials face, so do it! ”

"Order!"

Outside the gate of the big camp.

When the two heard that Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, refused to enter the camp for inspection, they were immediately furious, and began to quote scriptures outside the camp, counting Liu Juntao's not, and even one of the imperial historians began to shout, cursing Liu Juntao for being vulgar and arrogant.

The soldiers guarding the gate were all furious, and if they hadn't led the soldiers to stop them, those soldiers would have hacked the two to death with swords.

The general immediately sent his subordinates to report to Liu Juntao.

After getting the news, Liu Juntao sneered and said to Liu Zi'an and Tang Yu: "These two imperial histories are simply looking for death!" ”

Liu Zi'an and Tang Yu wanted to dissuade them, for fear that Liu Juntao would be angry and really cut down the two imperial historians.

"Herald! The two imperial historians outside the camp made a big fuss in the military camp for no reason, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, they immediately took it down, and gave me twenty rods to set an example! ”

Liu Zi'an and Tang Yu were taken aback when they heard this, those two imperial histories are both powerless civil officials, if these twenty boards are smashed, it is estimated that these two imperial histories will be crippled if they don't die!

So Liu Zi'an hurriedly said: "General Town! Don't act rashly in this matter, maybe those civil officials in the court are waiting for this handle to be sent to the door! ”

Tang Yu also kept admonishing.

Liu Juntao said: "It's okay! This time this town is to tell those civil officials in the court that this town is not muddy, and if anyone wants to fight with this town, then they must be ready to tear their faces and fight! ”

Then, Liu Juntao snorted coldly and continued: "Although this town is only the chief military officer of Shandong Town, it is not something that two district imperial histories can act wantonly and recklessly!" Today, this town is to let these Korean Chinese officials increase their memory and make them sober! ”

Liu Zi'an and Tang Yu were stunned when they heard this, and then they felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of their heads.

After a while, the two imperial historians not only did not wait for Liu Juntao to come to "ask for guilt", but waited for a team of "fierce and vicious" soldiers, rushed over and directly pressed the two to the ground, picked up the board and started fighting.

A few days later, this matter spread all over the government and the opposition, and the two imperial historians also returned home and were bedridden, and the ministers of the court and the central government suddenly quarreled!
