Chapter 249: Seeking Wealth and Danger

Lou Yun was surprised: "Huh? Even my father-in-law knows about us and General Huang drinking in Yichun Courtyard? ”

Cheng Quan's leisurely and fascinated look, he said: "Of course, our family is actually very envious of Father-in-law Fang, originally he was of the same grade as our family."

But since he befriended General Huang, he has come and gone, and now he is the chief eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, not only is the grade three levels higher than our family, but the errand of the actual teaching is even more hot. ”

"That's true, before I met General Huang, I was just a captain of the Jinyi Guard who liked to drink and fight, and because of a whim, I followed General Huang to fight a slave formation and cut a level, and the sesame seeds blossomed."

"So our family also has to form a good relationship with General Huang, and don't forget our family the next time you get together."

"It must be, father-in-law, let's make it clear that we will leave the north gate of Zunhua early tomorrow morning and go straight to Daankou."

"No problem, although our family doesn't have a family martial arts, we can still ride a horse for a few days."

Liu Zhilun, who was in Daankou, was very strange to see the angel, and after receiving the decree, he found that it was actually Zhongzhi, and he felt even more wrong, it seemed that the procedure was wrong.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were relatively bullish, they only believed that the cabinet had drafted the holy decree that had been approved by the celebrant and the celebrant to use the seal, and the civil officials had a tacit understanding to resist the decree.

The decree is the will issued by the emperor directly or by the celebrant and the celebrant without a vote by the cabinet, and this kind of will represents the embodiment of the imperial power but not the power of the ministers.

It stands to reason that Liu Zhilun, a civil official of the third grade, should refuse the Zhongzhi if he does not want to go to the opposite side of the civil official group.

But Liu Zhilun is an alternative, he is incompatible with too many scholars, and after receiving the order, he did not dwell on why there was no cabinet vote, and happily stated that he was actually sitting in Daankou to ensure that the "Red Flag Army" had no worries about retreating.

Cheng Quan learned that there was no need for the Son of Heaven to issue an order to the governor of Shuntian to let him cooperate with the "Red Banner Army" operation, and that he was actually one of the planners of the grassland surprise attack, and his task was to hold Daankou until the return of the people who left the customs.

He hurried day and night for fear of making a mistake, and at this time, he found that Liu Zhilun would do his best to help the "Red Flag Army" if he didn't come to pass the message.

Cheng Quan knew that the emperor and his fancy to the "Red Flag Army" out of the customs to kill the enemy, and urgently needed to understand how sure of success, he completed the task of passing the decree, and also learned a lot of inside information about the "Red Flag Army" out of the customs. At this time, of course, we must quickly return to the Forbidden City to report these new news to the Son of Heaven.

Liu Zhilun also has a chic and more than 1,000-word recital, which is to describe the composition of the "Red Banner Army" out of the customs, point out the loyalty and courage of Huang Han, and explicitly ask the Son of Heaven to treat loyal ministers and good generals.

He did not retain the eunuch who proposed to return to Beijing immediately, Liu Zhilun now has silver in his hand, and gave the angel two hundred taels of silver for his hard-earned money.

Lou Yun overlooked the snow-capped mountains in the distance at Da'ankou Pass, and suddenly he was in high spirits, and he decided not to leave, and wanted to venture out of the customs to get in touch with the "Red Banner Army".

He knew that if he could get more accurate news about the "Red Banner Army", it would definitely be a great achievement, and if he was lucky enough to get the opportunity to participate in the war, it would be the icing on the cake.

He thinks that he is skilled in arching horses, and since he went into battle at the beginning of the year, he has become more aware of the importance of combat effectiveness, and he has been practicing diligently during this time, and it should not be too difficult to go to the battlefield to cut a few Tartar heads.

At that time, he, a brocade guard, will be the focus of discussion on the streets of Beijing, and his promotion and fortune will be a matter of course.

Lou Yun made up his mind, and came to the governor's line to ask Chengquan to bring a message to his boss Li Ruolian, he said:

"Cheng's father-in-law, I decided to stay in Da'ankou and wait for the opportunity to go out of the customs to find the 'Red Flag Army', so I won't send you back to Beijing in person. Please ask your father-in-law to return to Beijing and say a few good words for his humble position in front of Lord Li. ”

Cheng Quan happily agreed: "Haha, Lou Baihu is good, if our family has a family heirloom martial arts like Fang's father-in-law, we will choose to stay, but unfortunately our family can't use knives and guns, and can't shoot arrows, so it won't cause you trouble." ”

Seeing that the direct leader Lou Yun did not follow him back to Beijing and wanted to stay in Da'ankou to fight for credit, the five Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi officials were not happy.

They also expressed their high-profile attitude that they were willing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and voluntarily stay in Da'ankou to kill the enemy, hoping that the adults would allow it.

This time the scene was completely different from that in Jiulitai Village, it seemed that Jinyiwei's blood was much hotter.

There were eight or nine people under Lou Yun's command who used to drink, eat meat, and sing with Huang Han before making a fortune in the spring, but they didn't have enough courage and didn't choose to stay and kill the enemy together.

As a result, the remaining Jinyi Wei are all prosperous, and now everyone has been promoted to the third level, and these people's intestines are repentant, and today is like yesterday, these school captains took the lead in patting their chests and expressing their willingness to follow Lord Lou from birth to death without frowning.

The power of example is infinite, Li Ruolian, Lou Yun and other five Jinyi guards took the initiative to join the "Red Flag Army" who attacked and killed Jiannu, not only got the honor of beating horses on Chang'an Street, but also promoted and made a fortune one after another, and all Jinyi guards were envious.

In addition to the Jinyiwei who had been to Jiulitai Village and refused to go back, the other Jinyiwei also refused to let go of the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, they all chose to stay and participate in the war without exception, and in the end, no one was willing to escort the eunuch Chengquan and the four little eunuchs back to Beijing.

Lou Yun really has no way, he can't let Chengquan return to Beijing with four eunuchs, if there is a mistake on the way, it will be a big crime.

After consulting with the five small flag officials, he decided to send a small flag man to escort the angels back to Beijing, and in order to demonstrate the principle of fairness, he adopted the most effective and acceptable means - drawing lots.

When the lot began to be drawn, all the brocade guards came to watch, representing the fifty-five brothers to draw lots, of course, five small flag officers, and finally a small flag officer with bad luck with ten dejected subordinates reluctantly went up to the official road to the south.

Lou Yun was bold, and he also knew that wealth and wealth were in danger, so he asked Liu Zhilun for an order the next day, asking to take forty-four Jinyiwei brothers out of the customs to find the "Red Flag Army", Liu Zhilun had not received news from Huang Han for seven or eight days, and he was already impatient.

In this year, Liu Zhilun, who has money, food and power, has not been idle, he now has a hundred ironclad soldiers in his hands, and the 700 cavalry and 1,500 infantry of the Fubiao battalion are all selected strong men.

Liu Zhilun was willing to spend the capital, and ate three meals a day for the Fubiao camp, and the distribution of uniforms and weapons, including salaries, was not lower than the standard of the Guanning Army.

He was quite strict in administering the army, and clearly informed the more than 2,000 people in the Fubiao battalion that they were well fed, clothed, and had silver and food to support their families, and that whoever dared to go through the motions and pretend to be during training would not only be expelled from the Fubiao battalion with 50 sticks, but also recover the part that was higher than the salary of ordinary battalion soldiers.

Most of the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Fubiao battalion are veterans selected from the heads of various battalions, and after a year of intensive training, their combat effectiveness and mental outlook are now much stronger than those of other Ming army battalions.
