Chapter 207: Cavalry Battalion

The people on the hillside looked up, and in front of the queue, Li Dongduan, the current commander, was sitting on a horse, 14 wearing full armor, looking heroic.

After the previous group of cavalry withdrew from the battlefield, this group of cavalry slowly entered the battlefield. Li Dong suddenly raised his right hand high, and the whole army solemnly stopped moving, moving in unison.

"Smack-"

The horse stopped and made a neat sound of stomping on the ground.

"Talent, what a talent!" Li Xiuwen sighed with emotion.

Li Dong is very satisfied with this, and in the past few months, in order not to embarrass Li Xiuwen, he has been training hard every day and during the day. Every night, he took a military book to read and study hard.

That military book was hand-copied by Li Xiuwen - "Hundred Battles and Schemes".

Li Dong's right hand did not fall, and after a pause, he swung forward heavily and made an offensive gesture.

"Tap, tap, tapβ€”"

More than three hundred horsemen received the order to charge, and at the same time began to run, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves was heard, but there was no chaotic sound at all.

"Boomβ€”"

Just as they were about to enter the firing range, the three hundred horsemen accelerated at the same time, and the sound of running was like the sound of thunder. Even on the hillside, everyone felt the earth tremble slightly.

There was a hint of surprise on everyone's faces, even Li Xiuwen was no exception. Zhu Yujiao, the little Lori, even opened her little mouth into an "O" shape.

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

The three shots in a row either hit the scarecrow in the head or in the chest.

Li Xiuwen was extremely surprised when he saw this accuracy.

At the bottom of the hill, I saw that the soldiers in the front row finished shooting, and immediately scattered to both sides, leaving a gap between the two horses that could allow a horse to pass through, and then the second row accelerated, ran to the first row, shot, and so on.

Of course, the line of fire was lit by the soldiers in advance when they were just running.

This...... Isn't this a cavalry version of a three-stage strike?

This kid is really good, I didn't expect the cavalry to be able to practice three-stage strikes.

The sound of guns is like rain, and the sound of hooves is like thunder!

At the same time that Li Xiuwen was surprised, Zhu Youzhen, who was behind him, had already stood up excitedly and praised repeatedly: "Good, good, good!" This is the elite division! ”

After being excited, he asked Li Xiuwen on the side: "Who is this person's surname, but he is a hereditary soldier?" ”

Li Xiuwen replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this person's name is Li Dong, and he was originally a steward in the Weichen Mansion. ”

Domestic servants?

Human?

This is clearly a tiger general!

Zhu Youzhen was a little puzzled, the subordinates in your family are too capable, and it is not ambiguous to bring up troops!

But no matter how you say it, these are all good generals in the army, although their backgrounds are poor, as long as they have the ability. Zhu Youzhen is very talented, and immediately ordered: "This person is a good general, and in the future, the Shenji Battalion will have a special cavalry battalion, and this person will be appointed as a general." ”

"Obey the order!"

Li Xiuwen knew that he, the original scholar, would undoubtedly be a famous general in the future.

From today on, the Shenji Battalion has changed from the original five battalions to six battalions.

Although the performance of the Shenji Battalion has been recognized by Zhu Youzhen, it will not be easily transferred out of the capital.

The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp were originally guarding the Beijing division as the last line of defense of this imperial capital. This is the emperor's baby bump, how can it be easily transferred?

After seeing the courage of the Shenji Battalion, Zhu Youzhen's arrogance came up. Originally, Te was still a little hesitant about King Zhou's request to restore the three guards. Under the joy of this meeting, he actually strengthened his confidence and decided to agree to this matter.

What about having him restore the Three Guards Horse?

I have such an elite division, and I'm afraid that he won't be a little vassal king?

After returning to the palace, Zhu Youzhen immediately ordered that King Zhou be allowed to restore the three guards and horses!

This is simply a surprise for Li Xiuwen. Even he himself did not expect that a military exercise would solve such a problem. You know, he had plans to give up for the time being.

Strictly speaking, Li Xiuwen has done a lot of work in this matter, and what is more ingenious is to pick the right time.

The person who is now in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War is Yang Sichang, who has just entered the cabinet.

Yang Sichang arrived in Beijing in March this year and was appointed secretary of the Ministry of War. In May, because he advocated peace, he was looked down upon by the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs. Zhu Youzhen was the only one who trusted him, and in June he was promoted to the rank of secretary of the ministry and a scholar of Dongge University.

The most important thing is that Yang Sichang is still in charge of all affairs of the military department after entering the cabinet, which shows Zhu Youzhen's great love for him.

In officialdom, it is actually not much different from the workplace of later generations. Intrigue and partisanship are inevitable. If someone is too showy, he will attract the eyes of a group of people, and then exclude and suppress him.

Just as Li Xiuwen was in the limelight and was attacked by Manchu officials, Yang Sichang also encountered such a situation. Coupled with the matter of advocating peace, this "Yang Gebu" is not very popular now.

Yang Sichang thinks he is quite talented, and such a person will inevitably be a little conceited. Regarding King Zhou's request for the restoration of Sanwei, he did not express too fierce opposition, let alone agree.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside!

In Yang Sichang's view, the most important thing now is to negotiate peace with the Manchus and quell civil strife. Even if King Zhou restored the three guards, it would not pose much of a threat to the imperial court.

In addition, Xuan Wuwei had an accident, and those imperial historians were impeaching the governor of Henan for dereliction of duty.

To put it bluntly, the target of those people was not the governor of Henan, but him Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang put forward the strategy of "four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net", and Henan is among them. If the governor of Henan has a problem, doesn't it mean that he is not using people properly?

Therefore, Yang Sichang kept a low profile, too lazy to show off for such a trivial matter, and only echoed the opposing faction in the court. After that, he was busy implementing his own strategy to quell the rebellion.

Just when Li Xiuwen was excited, Luo Yangxing sent someone over.

Even if the man didn't say it, Li Xiuwen knew that Luo Yangxing must have guessed something. He never felt that the small actions he made could completely hide from this spy leader.

Li Xiuwen believed in Luo's ability to cultivate sexuality, and knew that the other party must have found some clues, but he was also confident that the other party could not grasp the evidence of his rebellion.

So, how will the other party treat themselves when they know the truth?

In the past, Luo Yangxing often invited himself over, and the relationship between the two was not bad. Today, Li Xiuwen was a little frightened by such a normal invitation.

Wouldn't it be to play a Hongmen banquet, the brocade guard was arranged early, and he would be arrested directly later, right?

Li Xiuwen shook his head, feeling that this was unlikely. If Luo Yangxing wants to catch himself, he doesn't need to be so polite at all, just bring someone to the door, why bother
