"Report to the Chief of Staff, according to the telegram sent back to the scouts at Xifengkou, this officer army does not belong to either the Xuanda Governorate or the garrison troops. Judging from the banners, there are all kinds of things, messy, but the order is forbidden, which can be called the elite of the Ming army, and the cavalry accounts for nearly half. Gu Xiuquan, director of the Military Investigation Bureau, reported to Li Zixiong.

The scope of investigation of the Military Investigation Bureau has now extended to the Great Wall, south of Shandong, Shanxi, and Baoding. The purpose is to give early warning, and the object of defense is actually the Ming army. The focus of this is on the Ming army of Xuanda and Shanhaiguan and Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting south of Baoding.

Political Minister Huang Bodao: "According to Lord Xie Baoqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the mobilization of 20,000 troops into Beijing must be nodded by the emperor and then issued by the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War has not issued such an order. ”

Now the military chief who stays in the starting point city is Li Zixiong, Huang Bo is the political chief, and the liaison with Xie Baoqing, Chen Xinjia and others in the imperial court is now in charge of him, Gu Xiuquan temporarily plays the role of staff officer, and the three of them form a temporary headquarters.

Li Zixiong frowned and said, "This is strange, did this army fall from the sky?" With the addition of this official army, the Ming army of the Beijing division reached 80,000 people, and there must be an article in it. ”

After the 60,000 Ming Army awarded troops arrived in Tongzhou, they were immediately under the monitoring of the Tiance Army.

At present, the strength of the starting city in Shuntianfu is only the sixth regiment of the Tiance Army, the military police and other guard units totaling more than 2,600 people, and the two regiments of the security army with 3,000 people.

The 3,000 people of the original Baoding Army were all redressed and incorporated into the public security army. After the survival of the fittest, the vacancy will be replenished in the future.

The current task of the Public Security Force and the Baoding Army is to defend the Shijingshan Industrial Zone, and the 2nd Regiment, the Gendarmerie and the Headquarters Guard Battalion are used to guard the mobile defense forces in the starting city and all parts of Suncheonfu.

Huang Bo said categorically: "There must be a problem, I suggest that the Sixth Regiment send a battalion out of Changping to make contact with this officer and army in the direction of Juyong Pass." ”

Li Zixiong said in a deep voice: "This is not enough, in case of accidents, I suggest that I immediately send a report to the commander to explain the situation, and ask for instructions to transfer the third regiment of Li Zixuan in Tianjin back to the starting point of defense." ”

Huang Bo nodded and said, "I agree with the chief of staff. ”

Gu Xiuquan also said: "I also agree!" ”

The secrecy measures of this era were quite backward, and the sense of secrecy could not be compared with that of later generations; under the condition that the Tiance Army had advanced reconnaissance equipment and communication tools, it was difficult for the actions of the 20,000 Qing troops to escape the eyes of the investigators.

Wang Yue's telegram was quickly fed back, and he thought that there must be something wrong with this Ming army, so he ordered Li Zixuan's 3rd Regiment and the 2nd Battalion of the Marine Corps to immediately set off to return to the starting point city, and the defense of Tianjin was temporarily handed over to the navy.

After Li Zixuan returned to the defense, he immediately led the whole regiment of the third regiment to dispatch and the two regiments of the Baoding Army to go out of Changping to intercept this Ming army and completely figure out where they came from.

The two telegrams were sent to the starting point city and Tianjin at the same time, and one hour after receiving the telegram, Li Zixuan and the second battalion of the Marine Corps quickly set off for the starting point city.

The 3rd Regiment and the Marine Corps have a total strength of more than 2,000 men, with 52 armored vehicles and 40 fuel tankers, and the rest of the troops are all traveling by bus.

After receiving Wang Yue's telegram, Chief of Staff Li Zixiong immediately issued a number of orders, and there were frequent signs of movement of the Tiance Army and the Public Security Army. The third regiment returned to the starting point of defense, and a large number of motor vehicles were dispatched, and the momentum was huge, and it was difficult for the imperial court to think about it.

Since the conflict between the Tiance Army and the imperial court, the Tiance army has been listed as a potential threat, so the imperial court has sent a large number of brocade guards to monitor every move of the Tiance army. The Jingshi and the starting point city are close at hand, and there is no need for high-tech means, and it is not difficult to detect the movements of the Tiance army.

"What do you say? The Tiance Army is moving in a big way? Chongzhen stared at Luo Yangxing, who had come to report the situation to him, in horror.

Since the Qing army entered the customs, Chongzhen can be said to have no thoughts, this is dancing on the wire rope, if he is not careful, he may be left stinking for 10,000 years, and he will have no face to face his ancestors when he dies. He was afraid that the situation would change now, so any wind and grass would make his heart tremble, not to mention the movement of the Tiance Army.

Luo Yangxing didn't understand why the emperor had such an expression, judging from all indications, the Tiance army should not be unfavorable to the Jingshi, because Wang Yue was far away, and the scale of the transfer was not like that.

However, he didn't dare to ask more, but continued: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Sixth Regiment of the Tiance Army and the Baoding General Soldier Dong Yongwen Department have signs of moving towards Changping, and the Tianjin General Li Zixuan led the Third Regiment of the Tiance Army and more than 2,000 other Tiance Army to rush to the starting point city at the same time, and these people are all riding the big iron car of the starting point city, and they are moving very quickly. ”

"Changping?" A cold sweat broke out on Chongzhen's forehead, of course he was familiar with the map of the Jingshi region, he didn't need to look at it to know that Changping was the only way for Juyong Pass to lead to the starting point city, so the Tiance army would definitely run into the Qing army that had already entered the pass near Changping.

What to do? Notify the Qing army? No, once you show your feet, you will fall into injustice. What are the consequences of not informing them?

Chongzhen wandered around the hall, unable to think of a clue, and finally he suddenly stood up and instructed the eunuch who accompanied him: "Chuan Wen Pavilion Elder immediately enter the palace to see me." Then he said to Luo Yangxing: "Luo Aiqing go down first, and continue to observe every move of the Tiance Army." ”

"Wechen retires!" Luo Yangdao said.

This trouble was caused by Wen Tiren, so Chongzhen still had to find Wen Tiren to be responsible.

Wen Tiren is also on pins and needles these days, so as soon as he gets Chongzhen's call, he immediately enters the palace to see him.

"Chen Wen Tiren has seen the emperor!" Wen Tiren said.

Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "The Tiance army should have discovered something, the Tiance army is moving in a big way, there are signs of moving towards Changping, and the Tiance army in Tianjin is rushing back." ”

Wen Tiren was also surprised, which showed that the Tiance Army had discovered the movements of the Qing army.

His anxious eyes rolled, and he thought for a long time before he said: "The minister thinks that even if the Tiance army discovers them, it is a big deal for them to have a big battle between the two sides, which will be beneficial to the imperial court." ”

"Humph!" Chongzhen snorted heavily and said, "Dongyu has only sent 20,000 troops, what role does Elder Wen Ge think this person can play?" ”

Saying that, Chongzhen glared at Wen Tiren with a fierce look in his eyes and said, "If any of them are captured and I am shaken out, I will kill you first!" ”

Wen Tiren was glared at by Chongzhen, and said with a stirring spirit: "The minister has never involved the emperor, please rest assured." ”
