Chapter 1 The famous general Jingbian controls Yidi

Section 8 Orders for Northward Transfer

Huang Jiashan hurried to the palace gate, only to see that Fang Congzhe's carriage and horse had stopped aside, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of impatience in his heart, and said secretly: "Oh no, if Fang Congzhe is allowed to face the saint first, with his character, he will definitely advise His Majesty to reject Xiong Tingbi's request!" Now Liaodong is an extraordinary time, and there is an urgent need for elites who can fight well! ”

Huang Jiashan thought about it, and under the guidance of the little eunuch, he trotted all the way to the palace of Emperor Wanli. As soon as he arrived at the door, Huang Jiashan saw Fang Congzhe standing alone at the door, and he hadn't even gone in yet!

"Thank goodness! Finally got me to catch up. It's just that Fang Ge Lao hasn't gone in yet? Could it be that His Majesty's illness has recurred? Huang Jiashan couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.

At this time, Fang Congzhe also saw Huang Jiashan who came from the dust, his expression was extremely entangled, he was stunned for a while, and said: "Lord Huang came so quickly, but unfortunately now I can only wait here with the old man." ”

"Elder Fang Ge is not slow, he is even faster than me, the secretary of the military department." Huang Jiashan also replied neither softly nor hard.

Fang Congzhe didn't seem to have any interest in bickering, but said lightly: "Lord Huang is here and wait with the old man, the imperial doctor is inside at this time." ”

When Huang Jiashan heard this, his heart suddenly cooled in half, and a sense of sorrow instantly spread.

After a long time, the two imperial doctors walked out with solemn expressions, and were immediately stopped by Fang Congzhe and Huang Jiashan.

"Please stay, how is Your Majesty's current situation, can you still meet me and wait?" Fang Congzhe asked in a low voice.

The two imperial doctors glanced at each other, and they both sighed softly, and then one of them said: "Elder Fang Ge and Huang Shangshu had better not delay for too long, Your Majesty needs to recuperate and rest now, and you can't bother too much." ”

Another imperial physician also said: "If there is anything bad, the two adults had better be cautious, Your Majesty must not experience big ups and downs again." ”

After speaking, the two imperial doctors left with a sigh in one step.

Fang Congzhe and Huang Jiashan were worried when they heard the words of the imperial doctor, and the two hesitated for a while, but they still decided to go in to face the saint, after all, this Liaodong matter was not approved by Emperor Wanli, who would dare to make the decision privately?

After a while, the eunuch with the palm print came out and brought the two in, and whispered: "The two adults should be cautious in their words and deeds, if there is anything to wait for, it is best not to say it yet, everything is important for Your Majesty's well-being." ”

Fang Congzhe and Huang Jiashan nodded, but their faces were even more melancholy, and when they arrived next to the dragon bed, they saw Emperor Wanli lying quietly on the bed, looking much older than a few days ago, his face was extremely white and there was no blood, and the sweat on his forehead was flowing down, and the palace maid on the side was carefully wiping it.

Seeing this, Fang Congzhe and Huang Jiashan were already very clear in their hearts, and I am afraid that there is not much time left for Emperor Wanli!

"Your Majesty." Fang Congzhe leaned forward and called out quietly.

Emperor Wanli opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw Fang Congzhe and Huang Jiashan standing aside, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and asked very weakly: "Is there something going on in Liaodong again?" ”

Fang Congzhe nodded, then glanced at Huang Jiashan, Huang Jiashan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi came to report that Jiannu has held an alliance with the Mongolian Horqin Department and the Khalkha Department, and has set up officials in these two departments for nominal jurisdiction. ”

"Jiannu, what a good opponent. It's a pity that my time is running out, I really want to fight against Jiannu a few more times, it's a pity! Emperor Wanli muttered, his words full of helplessness and sadness.

Fang Congzhe and Huang Jiashan couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw this, but they didn't dare to speak out, and they were trying their best to endure it.

Emperor Wanli whispered: "Does the military department have any regulations?" ”

Huang Jiashan sorted out his emotions a little and said: "Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi Shangjuan requested that Liu Yunwei's Hanwei battalion be transferred back to Liaodong to assist in defense, and at the same time asked the imperial court to send a letter to Lin Dan Khan, asking him to strictly restrain the Mongolian ministries. The minister thought that Xiong Tingbi's recital was reasonable and could be implemented as it was approved. ”

Fang Congzhe said on the side: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that going to Shulin Dan Khan can be corrected, but it is absolutely impossible to requisition the Hanwei camp and return to Liaodong." ”

Emperor Wanli turned his head to look at the two of them, and when he heard the camp number of the Hanwei camp, there was a trace of inexplicable brilliance in his eyes, and he asked, "Why?" ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Your Majesty, since the Battle of Sarhu, the Hanwei Battalion has not only not received any rest and replenishment, but has experienced another counterinsurgency war in Shandong, how much of its combat strength is left?" Before the Hanwei battalion regained its combat strength, the soldiers were sent to the front line in Liaodong, and once a major war broke out, this elite army might be completely buried in Liaodong. ”

Huang Jiashan opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say anything, after all, he had agreed to transfer Hanwei Camp to Sichuan before, and now that it has only been a few months, how can he regret it? It's just that, what about Liaodong? How can I recover Xiong Tingbi?

Just when Huang Jiashan was thinking about it, Emperor Wanli whispered: "Just follow the advice of the elder of the pavilion, just give Lin Dan Khan a letter of state and promote the prestige of the country, and the actual effect is probably not much, after all, Lin Dan Khan suffered a loss at the hands of the slave chief a while ago; However, the Hanwei battalion will not be recruited for the time being, although the defense of Liaodong needs to be strengthened urgently, but how effective can the thousands of remnants of the Hanwei battalion be even if they go to Liaodong? I think it's better to be led by the Ministry of War, and then train a few strong armies, and let Huang Shangshu do the specific things, it's best to follow the example of the Qi family's army and train some strong armies that can fight well! If you need any money, you will first withdraw 200,000 taels from my internal funds for military training. ”

Fang Congzhe and Huang Jiashan were a little stunned when they heard this, and then the two of them reacted: "Emperor Wanli is preparing for the aftermath, and at this time, he is training the new army, obviously preparing the belongings of Gongwei Sheji for the future new emperor!" ”

"Minister, obey!"

After the two walked out of the dormitory together, Fang Congzhe asked, "Huang Shangshu, this errand is not easy to do, what does Qi Jiajun look like?" Although the combat power is strong and unparalleled in the world, what a heroic Qi Shaobao was back then, it took a lot of effort and tempering in successive battles to train thousands of Qi family troops; Now Your Majesty wants to train the new army, then I am afraid that it will not work without tens of thousands of people. I don't know who Huang Shangshu is going to let do this, and how many new troops he plans to train? Five thousand? Or ten thousand? ”

Huang Jiashan smiled when he heard this, and said: "This doesn't bother Lao Fangge, the lower officials already have the best candidate in their hearts!" ”

Fang Congzhe was secretly taken aback when he heard this, and asked tentatively, "I don't know who the power is?" ”

"Xu Guangqi!"

A few days later, on the north bank of the Yellow River, the ferry port of Huangqikou.

The soldiers of the Hanwei battalion were crossing the river by boat in an orderly manner, and Liu Yunwei was saying goodbye to Sun Yuanhua in the pavilion in the ferry.

Liu Yunwei reluctantly took Sun Yuanhua's hand and said, "Mr. Sun, I don't know when we can meet today, and my brothers and I are reluctant to leave." If it weren't for Mr. Sun's great help in this Shandong matter, how could I, the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion, solve the Wenxiang Sect and the Shanxian Gu family so smoothly? ”

Sun Yuanhua said with a smile: "Mr. Liu Qian has won the award, Mr. Sun has to thank Mr. Liu Qian and the soldiers, it was Mr. Liu Qian who led the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion to ask for the people's lives, and Sun just made some small efforts." ”

Liu Yunwei, Lu Ying and others were reluctant, and talked to Sun Yuanhua for a while, but when they saw that the hour was not early, Sun Yuanhua said: "Mr. Liu Qian, everyone, the hour is not early, let's say goodbye, we will definitely be able to meet again when he is fate." ”

Liu Yunwei said: "It's okay, then Mr. Sun takes care all the way." When Mr. Sun goes north to see Mr. Xu, he will definitely say hello to Mr. Xu on my behalf. ”

"Haha, definitely, definitely."

Looking at Sun Yuanhua's distant back, Liu Yunwei's heart felt a little sad, and said to Lu Ying and the others: "It would be great if Mr. Sun was willing to stay in the camp." ”

Lu Ying persuaded: "Big brother, everyone has their own ambitions and can't ask for it, maybe Mr. Sun can make greater contributions to the dynasty by Mr. Xu's side." ”

"Maybe."

At this time, Wen Poyu said: "Big brother, the soldiers have already crossed the river, and we should also set off." ”

Liu Yunwei nodded and boarded the ferry with Lu Ying, Wen Poyu and others. Two moments later, the ferry arrived on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Liu Yunwei looked at the soldiers who were waiting to go in the whole team, and the depressed mood of parting with Sun Yuanhua was slightly dissipated, so he asked Wen Poyu next to him: "Poyu, don't you send it out at night?" ”

Wen Poyu said: "It has been dispatched, but now there are too many displaced people in Henan, and the speed of news coming back may be relatively slow." ”

As soon as Liu Yunwei heard about the displaced people in Henan, his mood suddenly fell again, sighed, and said: "Alas, there are so many displaced people in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and if the small riots from all over the country converge together, it will shake the country's capital!" ”

Wen Poyu's expression was also dark, and he said: "I hope that the imperial court can have a way to control the situation, now that Liaodong has become like this, if there is any worse in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, then the imperial court will fall into a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy." ”

At this time, Liu Yunwei looked at the gray-yellow sky, and couldn't help but roar, as if he was going to roar out all the depression in his heart, and the roar of a tiger went straight to the sky, as if the gray-yellow clouds in the sky were shattered. After that, Liu Yunwei exhaled a breath of turbid breath and said, "Let's go!" Let's go! ”
