Chapter Fifty-Eight: Children Love Grows, Heroes Are Short of Breath

Tongzhou.

"The Old Bear is Too Bad"

Yang Xin stood on the bank of the Ma Canal, gloating at the elites who were passing through the pontoon bridge.

The elite who ran away from their armor.

After leaving the capital, Xiong Tingbi immediately ordered to advance at full speed, and the whole army must rush to Jizhou before dark, although this order was strongly protested by Jiang Yingzhao, the deputy general who led the Beijing camp, but he said that it did not count after all. As a result, these elite people in Beijing have just left their homeland to face an important test in life, and they must run 180 miles in one day......

And then it was like this.

"He just doesn't want to take these people!"

Chen Yujie said very directly: "The current Beijing camp can't fight at all, and it is not only useless to take these people to Liaodong, but they also have to spend money and food to feed, so why take them with you, wouldn't it be better to save the money and food of these 3,000 people to feed those who can fight?" But he didn't dare to openly drive him back, there were people behind these officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp, maybe whose relatives were high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, if Fang Congzhe was still a Jinyi guard! And these people followed to Liaodong to make a fortune, in the capital is nothing more than that bit of military salary, go to Liaodong not only to have food, but also to take the opportunity to loot, just make some merit and get promoted. It can be said that they are full of joy and want to be promoted and make a fortune, if he dares to go back for no reason, then these people will inevitably go back to their relatives and friends to say bad things about him, since this is the case, they have to find a better excuse, and if they can't find it, they have to find a way to make one. ”

Chen Yujie said.

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the canal, where a small boat slowly approached.

He gestured to Yang Xin with his gaze.

Yang Xin, who was watching those elite elites in Beijing cross the river, turned his head and saw Fang Tinglan wearing an emerald green cloak, standing at the bow of the boat with an umbrella and looking at him silently.

Then the boat came to shore.

Yang Xin hurriedly dismounted and walked over.

The two stared at each other amid the green grass and wildflowers on the shore......

"I'm here to do business in Tongzhou, and I just happened to come by to give you a ride!"

Fang Tinglan said with a slightly red face.

Yang Xin smiled.

Her face turned even redder.

"For you!"

Yang Xin took out a Rubik's cube from his arms and handed it to her.

"What is this?"

Fang Tinglan said suspiciously.

Yang Xin quickly shuffled the colors of this ivory Rubik's cube, and then recovered in a blink of an eye, and sent it back to her, Fang Tinglan took it with a hint of surprise, but then raised his head and looked at Yang Xin's eyes with tears slightly, but he bit his lip and tried to control it.

"You, take care!"

She said in a hoarse voice.

Yang Xin raised his hand to give her a hug, but in the end he patted her on the shoulder, then turned his head and left, got on the horse and went straight to the road ahead, Chen Yujie hugged Fang Tinglan to say goodbye, urging the horse to chase Yang Xin away.

Fang Tinglan was in tears, holding the Rubik's Cube and holding an umbrella, standing silently in the drizzle......

"Children are long, heroes are short of breath, I have to say that you are too ruthless, why don't you also say a few nice words to coax her, you don't add up to a few words in total, are you worthy of people risking the rain and being gossiped about, and running dozens of miles to see you off?"

Chen Yujie glanced back at her, and then sighed with emotion.

"Say what?"

Yang Xin said: "Come back and marry her? ”

"That's not necessarily impossible, in the end, her father is just a student, you see that I am also a student, and the next generation of the Fang family is not decent, Fang Shihong was from the Shangbao Bureau before, but now he has also lost his position. Fang Congzhe's age will not last long, and as soon as he retires, the Fang family will no longer be in the current position, on the contrary, you are still very promising. Especially if you have a good relationship with the emperor's eldest grandson, in the future, the emperor's eldest grandson will ascend the throne, and you will not be less rich and noble, and it is not impossible for the Fang family to take a slight risk and use Fang Tinglan to win you over first. She is obviously already emotionally attracted to you, if you can make meritorious service this time, your majesty will be happy to reward you with an official and a half-position when you come back, and you will no longer be a commoner at that time. ”

Chen Yujie said.

"What about Huang Ying?"

Yang Xin said.

"It's okay to be small, our Ming wife can indeed only marry one, but this concubine is casual, Fang Tinglan really can't be a concubine, but Huang Ying can be a commoner's daughter with a business nationality. You see, I have one wife and two concubines, but they are all in my hometown, and I should find another one! ”

Chen Yujie said.

"I, Yang Xin, am a righteous man and a gentleman, how can I be in the same column as the ghosts like you!"

Yang Xinyi said rhetorically.

Chen Yujie instantly changed to a look of contempt, and at this moment, Cao Wenzhao came to meet him, he followed Xiong Tingbi, and when he came back, he must have passed on the order.

"Brother Yang, Chen Gongzi, after a slight order, there is no need to arrive in Jizhou before dark, but all armies must rush to Shanhaiguan within six days, and violators will be dealt with by military law!"

He said.

After speaking, he rushed straight past and ran to the rear team of the Beijing camp.

With his rush over, the elites of the Beijing camp who knew the bad news wailed, and some even cursed directly angrily, you must know that from the capital to Shanhaiguan, the distance is close to seven hundred miles, and in six days, it is obvious that this kind of thing is more than one hundred miles a day.

Yang Xin and Chen Yujie looked at them gloatingly.

Then these two unscrupulous guys quickly rushed forward to catch up with Huang Zhen and the others.

They don't care, six days is enough, they all have a second-in-law.

In fact, his six-man volunteer army brought a total of twenty horses, and at this time, one horse was only a dozen taels, and twenty horses were only more than three hundred taels. Huang Zhen and those guys can ride horses, Hejian was originally the main horse place in the imperial court, and it is very common for people to ride horses, otherwise even nine thousand years old can ride horses with bows. Chen Yujie's physique is almost there, but this guy himself brings four horses, and it is not unsustainable for him to show his head for a hundred miles every day.

The gang gloated and began to run towards Shanhaiguan.

As for those elite ...... in Beijing

They herded sheep before they crossed the Three Rivers, these guys who had never fought before, and it was rare to even have decent training on weekdays, how could they still have the demeanor of their ancestors who went straight to the sea of fishing? In fact, the Beijing camp at the end of the Ming Dynasty is not said to be comparable to the Eight Banners athletes at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the real level is also limited, only one can still pick up a weapon, and the other can only pick up a smoking gun.

Let them rush to Shanhaiguan in six days?

Li Zicheng is still eight days away!

Yang Xin and his gang were not interested in caring about these guys, and they still rushed to Shanhaiguan on the evening of the sixth day while taking care of Chen Yujie.

"It's going to be played, it's real!"

Yang Xin looked at the city gate with interest, Cao Wenzhao was setting the table with the soldiers, it was obvious that Xiong Tingbi wanted to play really, and he was sitting on a Taishi chair on the city wall at this time. And to his left sat an old man drinking tea, both of them were in the same official uniform, obviously this is Wang Wang's grandfather, Wang Keshou, the governor of Jiliao. Xiong Tingbi's right is a red-robed military attachΓ©, and on the chest complement is a leopard, that is, the military attache of the third grade, which should be the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

"Chai Guozhu, the governor of the matter, after Jun Song left, he guarded the Shanhaiguan on his behalf, and he succeeded him after Juniper died in the war, but the new general soldier has been appointed, and the former Gansu general soldier Li Huaixin is the new Shanhaiguan general soldier."

Chen Yujie said.

"This doesn't look too young!"

Yang Xin looked at Chai Guozhu on the head of the city and said.

"The generals in the border towns are all old men, Chai Guozhu should be in his early fifties this year, Li Huaixin is almost in his fifties, and the dead Liu Wei is in his sixties. There were no major wars in the imperial court after Pingbanzhou, at most there were some sporadic battles with the Mongols, and all those who could fight now are old. To say that our majesty is also old, he likes to use these old people he is familiar with, but these old people are no longer the time to fight bravely. And they can't get up even if they press the younger generation, and no matter how capable they are, they can only be a charge, this time it's up to us to be a bear.

But he may not be able to hold them down.

Yang Hao really has no ability, but his qualifications are enough, he is a Jinshi for eight years in Wanli, forty years of ups and downs in the Huan Sea, and he has already reached Xiong Tingbi's current grade when he was in peace! What's more, he has a close relationship with the Li family, no matter what Liaodong does, he can't get around the Li family, he can make the Li family obedient.

But Xiong Tingbi was only a seven-rank imperial history before, and it is difficult to say whether he can suppress these people! ”

Chen Yujie said.

"Then he shouldn't drive away this group of soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, it doesn't matter if they can fight or not, the important thing is that they can scare people."

Yang Xin said.

"But this must persuade Xiong Tingbi first!"

Chen Yujie looked at Xiong Tingbi on the city tower and said.

Xiong Tingbi sat there, his face sinking like water.

This guy can be regarded as burly, wearing a red official robe and a gauze hat, like an arrow battlement on the city wall in the red of the setting sun, motionless and staring at the official road outside the city. There was not a single soldier to be seen on the empty official road, and none of the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Beijing battalion could rush from the capital to Shanhaiguan in six days.

All the soldiers of the Beijing camp did not pass the test.

Six days and six hundred miles is not an impossible task, Li Zicheng's eight days were a group march, not only cavalry, but also infantry and baggage, even the cavalry in the vanguard had to control the speed, and they couldn't lie down all tired when they went to the place, otherwise they would collapse by a surprise attack by Wu Sangui. And these Beijing battalions are just a continuous march of pure light cavalry, taking the Guanma Avenue comparable to the highway of this era, and there are perfect logistical supplies along the way, such roads and supplies cannot run 120 miles a day, which can be said to be waste.

There is no problem with horses.

Mongolian horses carrying a light cavalry are a normal number of people who walk sixty kilometers a day.

The reason why you can't do it is nothing more than a human problem, bumpy ten hours a day on horseback, and for six days in a row, the endurance requirements for people are very high, but as a professional cavalry, it is a bit embarrassing to not be able to do it, but this is also the 3,000 battalions that fought with Yongle in the south and the north, and Chen Yujie can support it at an amateur level
