Nima, the devil will have a big sweep!

Jianyu will definitely slowly perceive the changes in the Dongjiang River, and he will definitely attach great importance to such a Dongjiang army that can eat up thousands of people. The counterattack caused by it will not be different from the sweep of the devils in later generations.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen immediately chatted with Wei Mulan privately: "Send a message to Governor Lu, take a shot to change a place, oh, just after a battle, immediately transfer, transfer farther." If necessary, go back to Phi Dao. Jianyu has suffered a loss, and he will definitely not give up! ”

"Okay." Wei Mulan agreed, and immediately said to Lu Xiangsheng beside her: "Your Majesty has a will......

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then looked at the bags of grain carried by the soldiers not far behind him, and was silent for a while.

The situation of the Dongjiang River is actually not good, the loss is on the island, every time the tide is low, you can always pick up something to eat, but you can't stand the crowd. Poor people on Phi Island starved to death every day, and even if he brought a little supplies from Denglai when he came to Dongjiang this time, it would not help.

In the past, when Mao Wenlong was in power, he wanted to ask the court for food and materials, while doing business with Jiangnan merchants, coercing North Korea to give grain, and at the same time going to Jianyu to control the autumn wind.

In this battle, the soldiers must be fed. Lu Xiangsheng mobilized the war rations on Phi Island before he was counted as a soldier. The reason why he only brought 2,000 soldiers was not because he didn't want to bring them, but because of the food problem, he could only bring 2,000 soldiers out.

Now that an ambush has captured a large amount of food, it can be said that this dispatch of troops has made a lot of money. Therefore, his plan was to transport this grain back to Phi Dao, and then find an opportunity to fight him a few more battles and capture some more grain.

"Lord Zhongcheng, how do you reply to Your Majesty?" Wei Mulan saw that Lu Xiangsheng was silent, so she asked.

Lu Xiangsheng listened, looked at her, and was still silent for a while before saying: "You have also seen the predicament of the Dongjiang River. The official means to be careful. The official will remember His Majesty's sixteen-character mantra, and if there is anything wrong, he will immediately withdraw to Phi Dao. ”

Wei Mulan heard this, and knew in her heart that Lu Xiangsheng was also forced. In her opinion, like today's war, it was easy to fight, and there should be no big problem, so she didn't say anything more, and replied to Emperor Chongzhen as Lu Xiangsheng said.

After Emperor Chongzhen read the reply, he was also helpless in his heart. Jingshi also has no food, and needs to transport grain from Jiangnan, so there is no way to relieve Dongjiang. Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Denglai, which was more powerful than when Mao Wenlong was before, and he could mobilize more resources. He is also an expert in warfare, even if Jianyu really acts, the North Korean volunteers will definitely report the news, as long as you are careful, there should be nothing wrong.

Thinking so, he contacted Liu Wangshi again, briefly explained the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and asked him to convey it to Sun Gelao.

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong also sighed. Although Guanning is not short of food like the Dongjiang side, it is necessary for Guanning's side to deal with the Korean war on a large scale, not to mention the question of whether the army can fight, that is, food, ordnance, gunpowder, chariots, etc., are also underprepared.

At the time of the Jingshi's consecration, the construction of the city was not approved. Therefore, there was no more allocation of materials, and it could only be carried out by small-scale battlefield reconnaissance.

This task was naturally assigned to Wu Sangui, who was stationed in Jinzhou. However, he is too young, although there are family elders who can mention it, but the young man has the ambition and can be crowned with a high position, which makes Sun Chengzong not very relieved. Even when the selected soldiers went to Beijing to participate in the selection of the new army, Sun Chengzong was a little worried about whether Wu Sangui would covet the knighthood.

If Wu Sangui is really knighted because of this, at such a young age, with this kind of real merit, it will definitely attract the jealousy of the generals, once the war starts, with Sun Chengzong's experience, he is afraid that someone will stumble on Wu Sangui, and before the time comes, the enemy will be in chaos.

Sun Chengzong thought about it, and remembered that Zu Dashou seemed to be going back to Beijing in the past few days. decided to send someone to wake him up and ask him to remind Wu Sangui. In addition, Wu Sangui also sent the elite to the occupied area to carry out activities at night.

As for the grassland, it seems that it was the reason why Wu Sangui wiped out the two tribes last time, and the other tribes that were enemies of the Ming Dynasty all moved eastward, or several tribes were combined, and it was not so easy to fight, so Sun Chengzong didn't think about sending troops to the grassland.

When he was worrying about these things, in the lobby of Caofu in Guanning, the deputy general Cao Wenzhao did not sit on the main seat, but stood, holding a bowl of wine, glanced at the forty-six soldiers under the hall, and saw that they were also looking at themselves with bowls, so he said with a serious face: "This time you go to the Beijing Division, if you can be selected, I hope you will help you to change a little more for the sake of the past." ”

If he was selected for the new army, it was stated in the imperial court's decree that not only the military registration would be returned to the Beijing camp, but also the immediate family members of the sergeants could also go to the Beijing division with them, and there should be no concealment or restraint. In this way, once a sergeant is selected into the new army, theoretically speaking, it does not matter where he was in the army, whether he is a family member or not, and there is no longer any restriction. It is precisely because of this that Cao Wenzhao did not speak in a commanding tone to these people who were selected from his family to go to Beijing.

"Don't worry, master, young master is our god!" Some people answer first, and others follow. No one has a problem with their head, and they will refuse at this time.

Cao Wenzhao nodded when he heard this, and reminded again: "The ambition of Bianjiao is very high, and he must rely on his own ability to get ahead in the new army." He must know that he will definitely not let Ben entrust you, so don't let Bianjiao know about today's events! ”

"Don't worry, sir, the villain is awake!" This time, everyone responded in unison.

Cao Wenzhao didn't say anything more, but raised the bowl in his hand and said: "In this way, I wish you all a bright future!" Dry! ”

After speaking, he drank it all first, and then lit the bottom of the bowl.

This selection of the new army, for these ordinary soldiers, there is indeed a fact that the fish jumps into the dragon gate. It is said in the will that as long as you can enter the new army, the life of the family will be guaranteed, and you can get rid of the status of a domestic slave and become a pro-army directly under the Son of Heaven. If you work hard and get lucky, you may be able to make meritorious achievements and be promoted to an officer.

They were also very grateful to Cao Wenzhao for letting them go to Beijing to participate in the selection, at least at this time, most of Cao Wenzhao's requests were answered sincerely.

Two days later, Cao Bianjiao, who did not know it, was full of fighting spirit, bid farewell to his uncle, and together with more than 800 people selected from the Guanning army, under the leadership of the governor who returned to Beijing and Zhizu Dashou, they marched to Beijing together.

On the 27th day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, that is, the day before the selection of the new army began by the Beijing division for a month, in the Sanbian Governor's Mansion in Guyuan, Shaanxi, the angel who came from the imperial court read the holy decree and went down to rest.
