Yu Dayou, Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang, Hu Zongxian, and Hai Rui slowly walked out of the cell.
Yu Dayou looked up at the sky, and he closed his eyes when the sun pierced. He covered the sun with his hand, and when he opened his eyes again, Chen Di and Lu Bing appeared in front of him.
Chen Di arched his hand and said: "Teacher, eldest brother, second brother, Brother Ruzhen, Brother Gangfeng!" Chen Di has caused the five of you to suffer! β
All five of them returned the salute.
Yu Dayou was a rough man, and he asked Lu Bing angrily: "There is no reason for Jinyi Wei to arrest us in, there must be a reason to let us out, right?" β
"It's nature!" Lu Bing said and took out the holy decree.
The crowd fell to their knees and received the order.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said! Feng Dadu Governor Chen Di is the general of the conquest! Command the Flying Tigers, the Franz Rebels, and the Guards to face the Tartars! The Metropolitan Governor Tongzhi Yu Dayou is the former general of the Eastern Expedition! Tang Shunzhi, the governor of the capital, is the general of Zhendong! Qi Jiguang, the judge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, is the general of Fenwei Zuo! Hu Zongxian, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, is the internal history of the army, and Hai Rui, the secretary of the Taichang Temple, is the internal history of the army! The above five people, assisting Chen Di to face the Tatars! Lu Bing proclaimed.
What kind of smart person is Tang Shunzhi? As soon as he heard the decree, he heard the clue: "What? Zhao Kun was defeated? β
Chen Di nodded: "Not only did he lose, but he lost very badly!" The Shenji Battalion, the 3,000 Battalion, and the 5th Army Battalion were all wiped out! The Naoli Guard Army was completely annihilated! In three or five days, the Tatar army will be slaughtered to the capital! β
Yu Dayou exclaimed: "The three major battalions were all wiped out? Isn't our old brother of the Flying Tiger Armyγγγγγγ β
Chen Di said: "Our old brothers of the Flying Tiger Army did not go out with the three major battalions! β
Lu Bing heard about this for the first time, and he interjected: "What? The Flying Tiger Army did not follow Zhao Kun on the expedition? β
At this time, Chen Di was no longer afraid that Emperor Jiajing would know about this: "That's right! It was I who brought these more than 1,000 people from Zhao Kun's hands to stay in the barracks of the three major battalions! This is my back hand for the Tatars! Why, Commander Lu wants to say that I am rebelling again? And you want to put me under house arrest in the Horse Mansion? β
Lu Bing arched his hand and said: "The lower officials don't dare!" β
At this time, a Ming army team lined up in a neat queue and walked towards the gate of the Imperial Prison! This team is all equipped with firearms, the military appearance is well-groomed, and the leading soldier is carrying a flying tiger flag. It was the invincible Flying Tiger Army!
Chen Di said to everyone: "I asked the brothers of the Flying Tiger Army to come and take you out of prison, look, they are coming!" β
The Flying Tiger Army sang the Flying Tiger Army song as they marched:
"Daming, restore my rivers and mountains.
Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce!
There is the Ming Dynasty in the east, such as the rising sun.
A hundred years of national hatred, the sea is difficult to peace.
The world is in turmoil, how can we get Corning?
There are flying tigers, who will compete! β
Yu Dayou patted Chen Di on the shoulder: "Hey! With our Flying Tiger Divine Army in hand, why can't we drive the Tatars back to the steppe? β
Tang Shunzhi asked: "Has the ammunition of the Flying Tiger Army been replenished?" β
Chen Di said: "All have been replenished!" Our Flying Tigers are now full of ammunition! β
The Flying Tigers finished lining up in front of the Imperial Prison Gate. All the soldiers brushed their right hands and put their palms on the tiger power and straddled it.
This is the gun salute that Chen Di set for the Flying Tiger Army.
Chen Di said in a loud voice: "Brothers! The Tatars broke through the Datongwei and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Our three major battalions in the capital are gone! Our Zhili Guards are gone! The Tatar iron cavalry is heading straight for the capital! Their strength is dozens of times that of ours, brothers, fear it! β
The more than 1,000 soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army did not shout "afraid" or "not afraid", they just shouted in unison: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! β
Yu Dayou said: "Hey, this is what our invincible Flying Tiger Army should look like!" β
Tang Shunzhi said: "Now that the Flying Tiger Army has been assembled, the next step is to determine the battle strategy." Is it to defend the capital or to take the initiative? β
Chen Di said: "It's not busy, there is still a team that has not come to join the Flying Tiger Army!" β
Qi Jiguang said: "But the Franz Rebels? β
Chen Di nodded: "That's right!" They were detained in a military prison by the Tianjin Guard, and I have already sent three hundred guards to Tianjin to escort them to Beijing! β
Tang Shunzhi said: "The Francos have been detained by our Ming Dynasty once, will they fight side by side with the Ming army again?" β
Chen Di said: "I don't know, I'll talk about it when they arrive in the capital in Madeira." β
Yu Dayou asked: "There are still 5,000 men and horses in the Tianjin Weisuo Army, will they also be transferred to the capital?" β
Chen Di replied: "No! Brother Yu, you remember your brother's words: If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like comrades! β
Tang Shunzhi nodded: "The Metropolitan Governor is right!" The Tianjin Guards were weak and weak, and the military aircraft were scattered. If they enter Beijing, it will be good not to disturb the people, and they cannot be expected to fight the Tatar cavalry at all! Coming to the capital is just empty of grain and grass! β
Yu Dayou arched his hand and said: "Third brother, eldest brother, I have been taught again!" β
The next day, 300 Guards escorted 2,000 Francos back to the capital.
The 1,000 households of the guards who took the lead handed over an order to Chen Di: "Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, all the 2,000 Franc people have arrived!" In addition, dozens of big cars behind were loaded with firearms seized by Tianjin Wei! β
Yu Hejun, the former commander-in-chief of Tianjin Wei, was Zhao Kun's deputy commander. It stands to reason that he should have given the seized firearms to the three battalions before he set out for the expedition. But this selfish General Yu made a selfish mistake and left his firearms in Tianjin Wei. With such a large number of firearms in hand, whether it is to make a profit, or to equip Tianjin Wei to enhance his strength, in his opinion, it is better than handing it over to the imperial court!
Yu Hejun's selfishness helped Chen Di a lot!
Chen Di personally opened the shackles for Madeira.
Madeira said: "Your Excellency the Governor, you Ming Kingdom is really too discredited!" They even detained us, seized our firearms, and took away our commissions! β
Yingyu was working as an interpreter for the two of them.
"What? Your commissions were also taken away? Chen Di turned his head to Lu Bing and said, "Check where the money of the Franco Rebel Army has gone!" I guess it was privately divided by the people of Tianjin Wei! Whoever took it, you let them spit it out for me! β
Lu Bingdao: "Okay, I'll send the Tiqi of the Fusi of Nanzhen to investigate!" β
Chen Di said to Madeira: "General Madeira, please believe that it is not my intention to detain you. β
Madeira was quite reasonable: "Your Excellency the Marquis is a generous man!" I'm sure that's not what you meant! β
Chen Di said: "Don't worry! Your commission will not be less than yours! Now I want to hire this army of yours again! β
Madeira shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, we just want our commission back, back in the country!" β
Chen Di said: "Now there is a barbarian cavalry of 40,000 people approaching the capital!" We have only a little more than a thousand troops left at our disposal! If you don't help, our capital will definitely be breached! β
Madeira said: "Barbarian cavalry of 40,000 men? Then we won't play for you! You know, we came across the ocean to the East to make money! If your life is gone, how will you spend the money you earn? β
