Seeing Xiao Xuan pondering again, several cronies and teenagers around him also seemed to guess that this was the current saint who realized the seriousness of the problem and was thinking about the issue of sending troops. The contact over the past few days has also let Xiao Xuan's cronies know that the current Son of Heaven is not a high-minded and unapproachable person, so some people also helped to come up with an idea: "Shengshang, the area east of Pinggu Yingzhou is close to the border pass, and it is close to the mountainous area, is it not when you go to sweep some people in the capital?" ”

"Oh, it's natural... Xiao Xuan's mind was actually not used in this regard, but he was thinking about whether it was right for him to try not to touch the interests of some people these days? Today's Ming Dynasty is not suitable for major operations or showdowns when the external troubles are more serious and the combat effectiveness of the Guards has yet to be consolidated. But if you don't show any color at all, it means that there is no risk in provoking yourself, and of course this wind must not last.

"In this way, when you go north, it is enough to inform the battalions of the Guards to draw a squadron to form a temporary brigade to supplement it, and it is indeed safer for the three battalions to have two or three thousand men instead of one or two thousand... At this moment, Xiao Xuan's tone suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "Actually, Fang Caizhen is not thinking about the use of soldiers, but thinking about how to deal with those people's affairs, what kind of capital punishment can be used to make those people touch, and what kind of scope to put the attack surface." Now I also understand: this time, some people have offended the head of the guards, so I am not welcome. No matter who is involved, what status of the participants are involved, I will let them suffer the price that makes some people in the world frightened, as long as there is a confession and a clue, I will never forgive it again, and even the last time the account of the five military camps Since some people did not give face, it must be calculated... ”

Xiao Xuan also seemed to have adjusted his previous thinking at this time: What happened to the showdown? Even if it gets to the worst, what's wrong with the rebellion of the Son of Heaven? Today's Jianzhou does not have 60 Hongyi cannons, a large number of plundered Han people, and the rebuilt Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners servant army. Even the Liaodong armies did not really lose their courage as they did after the Battle of Songjin. Even if there is a big showdown, can there really be a situation like that of 644 and 647? In a sense, if you want to completely change the old look of the whole world, you have to wash it to be healthier, right? It is necessary for the emperor to show such a posture: if some people really don't give face, he doesn't mind fighting with Wang Er or Liu Liu and Liu Qi's soldiers, and they will fight again. And Xiao Xuan believes that as long as the "rebellion is justified", this will definitely make the peasant uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty in history very different from the past from the beginning.

Seeing the embarrassment and disappearance of one or two ordinary officers and soldiers of the Guards actually made the current Son of Heaven make such a determination, and many teenagers around him were also somewhat moved.

"This time, it is very likely to be a conspiracy, and the Guards are going to face a tough battle again, not inferior to the battle of the Imperial Horse Supervisor back then, are you afraid!"

"We are not afraid! The Guards will win! The young man beside Xiao Xuan said with confidence.

Of course, Xiao Xuan didn't just want the people around him to be like this, but wanted the entire team to be fully prepared for battle, so he quickly ordered: "Except for the people left behind, gather the whole battalion!" I want every teenager to understand what this battle means! ”

When the team in the capital was about to assemble, Xiao Xuan, after careful consideration, still ordered Tian Xiuying, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and others to follow him to the camp. Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen and others stayed in the camp. Because if something really happened this time, he would eventually face the situation of the Son of Heaven falling into the grass, and Xiao Xuan was unwilling to face some of the lessons of Li Zicheng among the people around him back then. And although Tian Xiuying's martial arts are not very outstanding, she is definitely a big help for herself in the conflict of the "worse than bad" nature that is not too large. Zhou Yufeng and Concubine Yuan and others, Xiao Xuan was still somewhat suspicious in his heart, and letting those concubines who didn't know martial arts come with him was of course a damage to his combat effectiveness.

After Wang Chengen learned what happened, he still opposed Xiao Xuan blindly leading the army to advance, but in order to prevent any baskets from coming out of the city, he did not come in person, and Zhou Yuji also solemnly persuaded: "Saint, this time the enemy situation is unknown, and the minister is worried that some thieves will collude with foreign captives, if that is the case, the situation will be quite dangerous." It's better to mobilize the newly established Brave Guard Battalion or whatever... ”

At this time, Xiao Xuan roughly recalled an extremely secret field contract before leaving Beijing, a secret military push carried out by some teenagers around him, although he also felt that this action was a little dangerous, but he was not without hole cards and killer features: "Don't worry!" If the enemy is too strong to be contained, I will do my best to break through... ”

Subsequently, after Xiao Xuan personally led the increase of 2,500 men and horses, he also began to advance to the foot of the mountain not far from Zhongtunwei in Yingzhou.

Shortly thereafter, in the mountains around Pinggu, not far from the border pass, more than 2,000 elite horse bandits from Shandong to Beizhili and then to the outside of the pass completed the assembly for the first time. When people realized at this moment that this action was not to rob the official salary, but to assassinate the saint, many people began to retreat.

"What are you kidding? How can this kind of business be done! ”

"Yes, it's not just a rebellion, it's a very serious rebellion, and it's almost impossible to be recruited...

At this moment, a man in a fur hat stepped forward and took off his fur hat. Nearly 100 cronies around him also took off their fur hats, which made many people in the vicinity feel shocked.

"You are..."

"We are the cronies personally sent by His Majesty the Great Jin Emperor, in fact, you should have thought of this a long time ago. Let's ask this Ming now, how will anyone get together a hundred elites who can shoot one stone and two fights, like a strong bow like a martial artist? It's hard to say that Wang Zaijin is there, right? Now, you are already riding a tiger. Of course, there is another way for you to do it, and that is to quickly take us down and atone for our sins. How? There are 2,000 of you, and we only have more than 100 people, do you have confidence in the showdown now? Would you like to give it a try? Hehe, I'm not talking big: among the banners and armor, we, the vest guards, are also no less than the white swing teeth in the infantry camp, not to mention you rabble. It is a dignified array of cars and cannons in formation, and an ordinary car battalion in Liaodong may not be able to take our hundred people, and we don't ride horses. ”
