Chapter 1: It is difficult to leap thousands of miles into Shudao

Section 8 Out of Sichuan to the north

At this time, there was already a sea of people outside the north gate of Chengdu, and the city gate was near the front

The crowd of onlookers, the people in the city heard that the spirit of General Liu Ting had returned to his hometown.

All of them spontaneously rushed to see each other off; Many people witnessed Liu's mother's righteous deeds, and even more

It's a heartfelt admiration. Just when the people praised the loyalty of the Liu family and Liu's mother

At the time of Gao Yi, 3,000 people who were ready to accompany Liu Yunwei to the north marched out of the city.

I saw that these three thousand sons were all wearing brand-new mandarin duck battle jackets, holding spears and carrying them on their waists

War knives, and each of them led a war horse, all of them were in high spirits and high morale

Rise!

When Liu Yunwei saw these three thousand soldiers, he was extremely happy in his heart, and he saw that this was one

An elite team, as long as a little rectification can be across the battlefield!

Mother Liu looked at this army of 3,000 composed of sons and soldiers of the Sichuan army,

He nodded contentedly. At this time, the Chengdu prefect also rushed to hear the news, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was also enthusiastic, and after shouting at the crowd for a while, he and Liu Yunwei helped Liu's mother to the city tower. Now that the army is about to go north, it should be said that Liu's mother should say a few words to her sons to boost the morale of the soldiers.

When Liu's mother climbed the city tower, Long Xiang Iron Cavalry and 3,000 Sichuan Zhong'er

Lang was already waiting under the city, and nearly 5,000 soldiers were silent at the moment.

The murderous aura was awe-inspiring, and the surrounding people all raised their voices when they saw that the army was so prosperous

Cheering, cheering, and cheering for the soldiers.

Liu's mother also saw tears in her eyes, and calmed down her excitement a little

Later, he said loudly: "Soldiers, sons, you are all sons of Sichuan, sons of the Han family, and hot-blooded men!" Now the dynasty is difficult, and there are Tartars raging outside! Liaodong was originally the homeland of the Han family, but it was ravaged by Jiannu and occupied by the Tatars, which is the shame of all the sons of the Han family! My son in Sichuan has always been loyal to the country, Mongolia back then

When the Tatars went south, the whole of Sichuan was turned into scorched earth, all the sons of Sichuan were resolutely killed by Hu, and the first battle of Diaoyu City was fought for decades, and the men of the Han family never took a step back! Now that slaves are rampant, it is the moment for our sons and daughters in Sichuan to show their might, as a child of the Han family, my Sichuan people would rather wear linen and filial piety at home, but also expel the Tartars and defend China! ”

"Northern Expedition! Northern expedition! Expel the Tartars! Regain Liaodong! Nearly 5,000 soldiers shouted in unison

shouted, and the people at the scene also raised their arms and shouted, and the Chengdu prefect was even more excited when he saw this

Couldn't help but say: "This is the morale of the people, this is the morale of the people!" Yes

With such a people and such soldiers, why worry about building slaves and not being destroyed! ”

Everyone talked for a while, and Liu Mu saw that it was not too early, so she said to Liu Yun

Wei said: "My son, it's not early, now you will take your sons and daughters to the north."

Let's go. My mother and the people of Chengdu, the women and children of Sichuan, are waiting for you here

Returning triumphantly, waiting for my Han family's sons and daughters to break the slaves and restore Liaodong! ”

Liu Yunwei nodded heavily when he heard this, and then took a step back to face Liu Muzhong

He knocked his head three times, and then strode down the tower without looking back. treat

When Liu Yunwei came to the front of the army, he immediately felt a burst of masculinity,

I feel that my whole body is filled with the strength to move forward.

Liu Yunwei turned over on his horse, raised the spear in his hand high, and shouted loudly: "General."

Gentlemen, follow me! Don't destroy Jiannu, swear not to return to Sichuan! ”

"If you don't destroy Jiannu, you vow not to return to Sichuan!"

"If you don't destroy Jiannu, you vow not to return to Sichuan!"

Nearly 5,000 soldiers roared in unison, followed by Liu Yunwei's leadership

Turned over and mounted his horse and galloped towards the north. Iron hooves burst, torrents rolling, around

Seeing this, the people were all enthusiastic, and they all shouted loudly: "The military master kills Hu."

Yes! ”

"Soldiers, all victories!"

"Daming Wansheng!"

Looking at the iron cavalry army marching out in formation, Liu Mu couldn't help but leave a heat of pride

Tear. At that moment, many women in the crowd began to chant loudly,

These women are the wives and children of the three thousand soldiers who went out on the expedition, and the mothers

It is to sing war songs, and use the singing voice of the Han family to send her husband and son north to kill Hu!

"If you want to defend the land and reopen the territory, the blood is still hot, and the ambition is everywhere,

I wipe the tasseled spear for you, and wear a military uniform for you,

Jun Dao Mo smiled and drunk on the battlefield, looking at Kyushu and the smoke,

I sang a war song to send you to and sang it;

Listen, there was Rong Di last night,

Knock on my Yanmen Pass, climb my ten-zhang city wall,

Look, there is a beacon fire in Kyushu,

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, beacon fires are burning for the first time;

I, singing to send you off,

Although the bow in his hand is cold, the blood is still hot,

And, pour this cup for you,

May you return from this trip and step on a triumphant journey;

I heard that the snowflakes bloomed outside the plug, blowing overnight, and it was difficult to walk,

I weave a piece of bright moonlight, willing to be Jun Sinan,

Wen Jun jumped on the horse and lifted the gun, chased Rong Di and wine,

I will bury the wine shallowly, wait for you, and get drunk for a total of 10,000 times! ”

First, the families of the soldiers were singing loudly, followed by thousands of people around them

They all sang in unison, and Liu Yunwei and nearly 5,000 soldiers gradually went north in the singing, and slowly disappeared in the eyes of the people.

After Liu Yunwei led the army to leave, Liu's mother, with the help of the Chengdu prefect, welcomed the coffins of Liu Ting's father and son and Xu Wanxin back to the city. After that, the Chengdu prefect and Liu's mother held a grand funeral in Liu's mansion, and almost all the people in Chengdu rushed to pay tribute to the heroes of the Han family, and even the people near Chengdu rushed to hear the news. Within a few days, the rewards awarded by the imperial court to Liu Ting's father and son and Xu Wanxin were also delivered: Liu Ting was posthumously awarded by the imperial court as Zuo Zhuguo (Wu Xun), and was awarded the title of Doctor Ronglu (scattered rank); Liu Zhao was posthumously awarded the title of Protector by the imperial court and was named the general of the hussars; Xu Wanxin was posthumously awarded the title of Mrs. Zheng Erpin, and she was full of grief for a while.

After that, Liu's mother's righteous act was also reported to the imperial court by the Chengdu prefect, and after the seriously ill Wanli Emperor heard about it, he called Liu's mother a "strange woman" and ordered the imperial court to award Liu's mother a good order to be the wife. That's all for later.

In the middle of December of the forty-seventh year of Wanli (the fourth year of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate), Yiyang

Seeing that it has come to the time for the whole army of the Hanwei Battalion to go north to Tongzhou, this day is a big day

Early on, Lu Ying and Yuan Mingxuan summoned Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, Wen Poyu, Gao Hongguang, Huang Fuming, and Wang Dangdang, announced that the army would immediately go north to Tongzhou, and beat Liu Yunwei's general flag out and set off with great fanfare. The 180,000 thieves and 100,000 exiles had also been roughly reorganized in the previous month, and at this time, they were also mobilized by the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion and went north to Tongzhou with the army.

Just as the soldiers were about to leave the camp, a man who did not collect the night suddenly ran into the camp on a dusty horse, and shouted all the way: "The general is back!" The general is back! The Dragon Rider is back! ”

The whole camp suddenly burst into thunderous cheers, and the soldiers of the whole army shouted Liu Yunwei's name loudly, and gradually the cheers turned into neat shouts, and tens of thousands of soldiers were shouting "Wansheng" in unison!

Lu Ying and the others were also very happy, and rushed to the gate of the camp to greet them. As soon as everyone arrived at the gate of the camp, they saw Liu Yunwei's prancing horse and horizontal gun stopped at the gate of the camp, and nearly 5,000 iron horsemen behind him were lined up neatly, like a group of fierce tigers waiting to attack.

After everyone saw it, Liu Yunwei first had a good greeting with Yuan Mingxuan, and after learning that Yuan Mingxuan had found dozens of firearms craftsmen from Haojing O, Liu Yunwei was very happy. After that, Liu Yunwei told everyone about Liu's mother's righteous deeds, and everyone was amazed, and Lu Ying, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, and Wu Xing left tears on the spot.

After everyone sighed for a while, Liu Yunwei asked Lu Ying, "Are the soldiers ready?" ”

Lu Ying said with a smile: "The soldiers are ready to go, and the army can set off at any time." However, the soldiers of the eldest brother and the Longxiang Iron Cavalry have been tired all the way, do they rest for a day first, and then the army will set off for the north tomorrow? ”

"No, there's no time to wait!" Liu Yunwei said categorically: "I have already received the holy decree of the imperial court on the way back, and our time is already very tight. The army will set off immediately, and the army will rush to the new army camp in Tongzhou before the end of the year, and we will rush to Tongzhou for the New Year! ”

With Liu Yunwei's order, more than 30,000 soldiers of the Hanwei battalion, 180,000 prisoners, and 100,000 displaced people, totaling more than 300,000 people, formed a huge migration team, which marched all the way north from Yiyang. Before the pull, Lu Ying had spent almost a month accumulating 100,000 stone of grain and grass, and at this time, he also collected nearly 1,000 carts to load the grain and go north with the army.

As for the march route of the Hanwei battalion north to Tongzhou, Lu Ying and Yuan Mingxuan also formulated it in advance and reported it to the Ministry of War for approval. Subsequently, the military department issued an order to the cities along the way as soon as possible, requiring all localities to ensure the supply of grain and grass needed by the Hanwei battalion when it went north, and the court would severely punish anyone who shirked or did not provide enough food.

Fifteen days later, at the end of December of the 47th year of Wanli (the fourth year of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate), Liu Yunwei led all the men and horses of the Hanwei battalion to the outside of Tongzhou City, and set up nine large camps on the left bank of the Grand Canal, and 8,000 headquarters battalions surrounded Liu Yunwei's Chinese army camp in the middle.

The soldiers were still busy with the things of camping, and Liu Yunwei led Yuan Mingxuan and Lu Ying to greet Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, and Li Linbin, the waiter, at the gate of the Chinese army camp. After everyone greeted each other a little, Liu Yunwei welcomed the two into the Chinese army's tent.

As soon as everyone entered the big tent, Huang Jiashan said loudly: "Tongzhou garrison Liu Yunwei takes the order!" ”
