Dong Youyin was so hot that the big man was dripping, and the beads of sweat slipped down from his forehead and neck one by one.

Picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, he immediately drank a sip of wine to cool his mouth, and looked around, although everyone was not provoked, but no one was shirtless like last year.

There is no other reason, naturally there is a red lady, and the old men here are still embarrassed to be naked in front of women.

"X fuck, it's so hot that I feel like I've crawled out of the sea!"

Scolded, Dong Youyin really couldn't help it, the first to tear off his underwear and show out his black hair, this is the comfortable haha screaming.

Unexpectedly, the red lady was holding a piece of mutton, and was looking at him in a daze at the moment.

If it is an ordinary woman, I am afraid that she will scream immediately, but the red lady is not an ordinary woman, she just has a cold face, and she eats and drinks correctly.

"Hahaha."

Seeing the red lady like this, Dong Youyin scratched her head embarrassedly, and everyone was relieved and kept laughing.

"It's much more interesting here than Henan, every New Year, all kinds of banquets are stuffy, all kinds of rules and etiquette, and it's more tiring than usual."

The red lady talks a lot today, but when she speaks, she often looks at Wang Zheng's empty seat, always showing a thoughtful look.

"What the red girl said is exact, and I don't get tired of such red tape." Li Yan smiled, picked up a piece of mutton and ate it gently.

He looked at the red lady with a smile, and asked why she always looked at Wang Zheng's seat, and didn't say anything, and didn't say much.

......

During this time, everyone is comfortable and relaxed, visiting relatives and friends, but for Wang Zheng, time is too precious, and the seventeenth year of Chongzhen is the darkest time in history, and there are only six years left.

The current Wendeng battalion has more than 1,500 registered soldiers, all of whom are infantry.

Although Jiaodong does not produce good horses, Wang Zheng has considered his own financial resources, and he can already introduce a batch from other places, and cavalry is indispensable, so he should prepare early.

The first batch of cavalry Wang Zheng planned to be the same as the first batch of bird gunners, first set up a full sentry to train into veterans, and then use the old to lead the new, which is a cavalry of more than 190 people.

It's not where the news came from, many people know that Wang Shen is going to buy a horse, and the shopkeeper Hao of Jining Yongchang sent someone not long after, who is the manager of Yongchang, and he saw Wang Zheng at Jining City Wharf that day.

This steward's greeting is to the point, saying that there is a shopkeeper of the cattle and horse trading house in the city, and the shopkeeper of Hao is an old acquaintance, and he can get a good border town horse for Wang Zheng.

Such a horse is indeed very simple for a big business like Yongchang, and there is no need for the shopkeeper Hao to deceive Wang Zheng for this bit of silver, saying that it is a border town horse, and most of them are border town war horses.

As for the source of the war horse, Wang Zheng didn't care, and he wasn't stupid enough to ask, this is a trade secret, how can people tell you the source of the goods.

Whether it was an official horse or a private one, or even one smuggled from the Mongolian Jurchen Tartars, Wang Zheng actually didn't care, as long as it was enough to ask for it, it would not be too bad to go into battle.

Looking at the mouth, looking at the heart, Wang Zheng didn't say anything, after paying the deposit, it was the second deal with Yongchang.

After sending away the steward of the Yongchang, Wang Zheng handed over the follow-up negotiations to Fan Ruohai, and after personally formulating the rules and treatment for recruiting horsemen, he also handed them over to Huang Yang to handle.

In addition to the eight outposts of the Wendeng battalion, Wang Zheng also had six brigades of the Yanding Brigade of the descendants of various places, and there were several thousand people in the local Yanding Brigade.

Wang Zheng is still a general stationed in Ninghai, according to the rules, the number of regular soldiers is not enough, but counting the salt ding, the number is doubled.

If it is really investigated, at least a crime of not abiding by the rules of the ancestors will not be able to escape, Wang Zheng, a military general who has no background and only relies on his military exploits, can kill him on this charge alone.

So Wang Zheng is often worried, at that time, I am afraid that I will go to the dark on a road, and I don't want to tear my face with the court too early, and now the strength is too small, and everything needs to be careful and obedient.

Wang Zheng's worries are on the one hand, and on the other hand, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

In January of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the official army of the thief was transferred away, and the thief resurged, and the king Li Zicheng waved his army to attack Xichuan, which was quite a bit of a sense of cooperating with the Qing army to attack from the north to the south.

Zuo Liangyu, the general soldier of the Ping Thief, held an army of more than 100,000 but did not move, sitting back and watching the city fall, and the army and people were empty.

Wang Zhong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, was ordered to aid Henan, and as soon as the Shanxi boundary was reached, he immediately set up camp, saying that he could not advance, and more than 1,000 Qing soldiers went south to 20 miles away, and tens of thousands of Shanxi soldiers immediately returned in chaos.

Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, asked to arrest the wrecked marshals and order the army.

Emperor Chongzhen issued an order, Zhao Wang Zhong and the late general soldier Zhang Quanchang entered Beijing to face the saint, to Beijing, Jinyi Wei ordered the two to be beheaded to show the public.

After the cabinet discussed, Zuo Liangyu took credit for Liu'an, still led the general of the thief, and atonement for his crimes.

The time has come to February, and the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the credit for reporting is not fixed now.

Ninghai Prefecture City now also has its own weather, half a year, the outer city has expanded a circle, the number of naturalized soldiers and civilians has increased several times, some programs that only Jining and other big cities have here, and recently it is also a rare day without curfew, every household puts up lanterns to welcome the New Year.

Regardless of the big cities and small towns, they are sleepless all night, colorful lights compete brightly, and there are countless temple fairs.

The red lady didn't just have something wrong this day, she came to Wang Zheng excitedly, saying that she wanted him to lead her to see the lantern festival.

There is nothing important now, the matter of Juntian's exemption has been steadily implemented, and several local gentry in Ninghai have not spoken, and the rest will not be able to stir up any storms, and they are very stable.

Wang Zheng smiled, and was about to get up to agree, but a person ran in from outside, panting.

The pro-soldiers and patrols outside the house did not stop them, that must be someone they knew well, and sure enough, it was the Qianzong Qi Zhengyu who went to Beijing to report his merits to come back, and the team he brought with him had already gone home to prepare for the New Year.

After Qi Zhengyu ran into the courtyard, he first took a few breaths, and then half-knelt on the ground and clasped his fists in salute, and said hurriedly:

"General, when I went to Beijing, there was a person who dragged me to bring back an urgent letter to the general, saying that it must not stop for a moment, and it should not be handed over to the general without delay, so that the general can reply immediately after reading it!"

Isn't it a good thing to repay the merits, originally Wang Zheng wanted to carefully ask Qi Zhengyu what had happened in the past few months in Beijing, but seeing that he was in a hurry, he had to dismiss his subordinates first, opened the letter and looked at it carefully.

In fact, Wang Zheng was also very curious, he didn't have any acquaintances in Beijing, and he hadn't even been there, who would rush to send a letter to himself in such a hurry for the New Year?
