Cao Huachun was very unhappy in his heart, who dared to report this matter to the emperor without going through himself?

Fortunately, he got the exact news before he was summoned by the Son of Heaven, otherwise he would have made a joke today, and he, the factory governor, would have left a bad image of a corpse in front of the emperor.

Cao Huachun said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the slave maid who sent Tiqi to Yichun Courtyard at this time couldn't catch Huang Guerrilla at all, because he was not ......ridiculous in the Peony Pavilion of Yichun Courtyard from beginning to end."

Chongzhen was furious and said: "How can this be reasonable, he still knows how to hide, and sent Jinyiwei and Dongchang to me to search for him, I don't believe it, where can he hide?" ”

Cao Huachun saw that he was only halfway through his words, so that the grumpy Shengtianzi misunderstood, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Huang Guerrilla is wronged, Your Majesty is angry, the old slave has thoroughly investigated Huang Guerrilla's abnormal behavior, and found that there is a reason for the incident, Huang Guerrilla did not return to prostitution at all, but was thousands of miles away. ”

Chongzhen was stunned and asked, "Thousands of miles away?" Where did he go? Cao Banban, where does this start? ”

"In fact, Huang Guerrilla quietly rushed to Da'ankou seven or eight days ago, where should the men and horses of the 'Red Banner Army' gather and wait for his arrival."

The emperor couldn't help but get anxious, and he asked, "Huang Han went to Da'ankou?" What does he want to do? Isn't he going to go out to find the Tartar? ”

Daming has such a tiger general, at this time Cao Huachun felt honored, and he said in a firm tone:

"Exactly, Huang Guerrilla personally told Fang Zhenghua, the commander of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and Li Ruolian, the Jinyi Guard, that the Tartars followed Jiannu into the pass, and I don't know how many good homes I broke in the Ming Dynasty, and how much gold and silver, population, and livestock were robbed and returned to the north.

If I let the Ming Dynasty do not retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, these bandits with foxes and fake tigers will intensify in the future, and Huang Guerrilla will go here to kill the Tartars within two or three hundred miles northeast of Da'ankou. ”

"Shhh The young man gasped, and suddenly felt the blood in his chest surge, and felt that his nose was a little pantothenic. Robbed the Ming and returned it, killed the people of the Ming Dynasty, the "Red Flag Army" will kill the entire tribe of the Tartars, retaliate, and the Ming should retaliate fiercely.

It's so relieving, it's too sour! The young emperor couldn't wait to shout a few times for Huang Han's decision, but he couldn't help it, he was the son of today, and he had to look like a young man.

Chongzhen's voice was a little out of tune because he was too excited in his heart, and he asked calmly: "Cao Banban, what do you think Huang Guerrilla has a chance of winning?" ”

"This, the old slave can't say well, after all, there are too few people in the 'Red Banner Army', and Huang's guerrilla operation is a military adventure."

"Alas! The ministers mistakenly obeyed, I didn't know that the 'Red Banner Army' was too small, and I had long intended to give more soldiers, but, alas! I regret not being at the beginning! ”

"Your Majesty, it's useless to be anxious at this time, do you give an order to Lord Liu, the governor of Shuntian, and order him to send men and horses to meet Huang's guerrilla."

"That's exactly how it should be, Wang Banban quickly drafted the ......"

The situation was urgent, and the emperor didn't have time to argue with the cabinet, so he directly issued a decree to the governor of Shuntian, asking Liu Zhilun to do everything possible to alleviate the losses of the "Red Banner Army" and act cheaply.

It was Lou Yun who got the errand task of Jinyiwei to try a hundred households, and he rushed to Zunhua again with a general flag Jinyiwei who was familiar with the road.

Since following the "Red Flag Army" to ambush Jiannu once, Lou Yun has come to run, and has been promoted to three levels in a year, listening to Shangguan Li Ruolian explain the benefits and disadvantages, knowing that time is pressing, he took his subordinates to change horses all the way and galloped away.

In the case that the post station on the way can change horses, although Lou Yun and his party can't run 600 miles at an expedited speed, they can run 300 miles a day.

Huang Han repeatedly made astonishing moves, and the emperor found him intriguing, and instructed Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen to return in time as long as they got news related to Huang's guerrilla, no matter how big or small, and Yichun Yuan should also send Dongchang Fanzi to investigate, so as to find Jiannu's fine work.

On the fourth day of November in the third year of Chongzhen, it was the anniversary of Huang Han's mixed Ming Dynasty, he was full of emotion when he passed through Zunhua, a person carrying a horse leg, pinning half a Qi knife in his waist, wearing a dirty cotton armor in the snow Huang Han is now here again.

Today, the troops he assembled in Daankou are strong and strong, and there are 1,360 knights, half of whom have experienced the ambush of Yongpingnan with fewer victories.

There are 300 qualified infantry birds, 240 gunmen, more than 200 infantry archers, 4 spearmen, and 200 spearmen, sword and shield bearers.

There are also four general banners of young cadet soldiers, and more than 50 medical soldiers led by medical officers Liu Dashou and Guo Xiao have a general banner, and 1,000 people have volunteered to follow the "Red Banner Army" to participate in the grassland surprise attack and have combat skills.

The number of people assembled by the "Red Banner Army" was as high as 3,400, and in addition to the 400 bird-gunners whose shooting scores needed to be improved, there was a general banner of foot archers, pikemen, and sword and shield bearers, and Huang Yong, Yang Jian, and Huang Chunsheng led by Huang Yong, Yang Jian, and Huang Chunsheng to garrison the "Tiger's Den" city, and almost all the striking forces that the "Red Banner Army" could maneuver with.

Because even more than 200 young soldiers over the age of 14 were brought out, and most of the 1200-odd years of study, training, and public service in Beijing were 12 or 3 years old.

Although the number of the "Red Banner Army" assembled in Daankou is not large, and the number of serious soldiers is even smaller, but the equipment is the king of this era.

All the knights of the "Red Banner Army" are equipped with a combination of all-steel cuirass and above, as are most of the old soldiers, and the armor of the remaining 800 cavalry is only stronger than that of Jiannu.

The sword and shield men and pikemen were also equipped with iron armor, the infantry archers and the bird gunners were all equipped with iron armor and all the officers above the rank of commander, and all those who went to battle had two sets of cotton armor equipment, including military labor.

The weather is cold and dripping into ice, and the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army", including laborers, have two thick cotton armors to wear on their bodies, which are carefully sewn by women in the system, and the quality is better than that of Jiannu's standard cotton armor, which is not only strong and has protective power, but also quite warm.

The "Red Banner Army" attack team also has a small piece of equipment such as gloves, and from now on, a piece of skin and flesh will never be glued off because of the meat hand suddenly holding an extremely low temperature iron tool.

These 1,000 entourages were indeed voluntarily followed, and they fought for this many times, and finally developed into groups kneeling and begging in front of the temporary headquarters of the "Red Banner Army."

At the time of Huang Han's departure, the military was jointly decided by a leadership team composed of seven people, including Han Zi, Song Pengfei, Yang Danian, Yang Guoen, Yuan Siming, Wang Zhanpeng, and Zhang Yang.

The beautiful name is called: the group of seven.

They are the authority to make decisions on large and small affairs in the absence of the chief general Huang Han, and the seven people make decisions together, and when there are different opinions, they show their hands to vote, and the minority obeys the majority.

During this time, the seven-member regiment led the "Red Flag Army" to continue training, and people and horses appeared at the pass of the Great Wall of Jizhen from time to time.
