At the entrance of the vegetable market, the prison officers of the military department and the criminal department were watching the sundial. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than thirty generals of the Great Tongwei were tied up with five flowers, and behind them stood a row of fierce sword and axe hands.

When the sundial reached three o'clock in the afternoon, the warden said in a loud voice: "The hour has come, and the execution will be carried out!" ”

After speaking, the overseer will throw the arrow on the beheading platform.

"Keep people under the knife!"

Two fast horses rushed to the entrance of the vegetable market.

The supervisor said angrily: "Who dares to disturb the law field! ”

The two of them got down from the fast horse, and when the prison officer saw these two people, he hurriedly walked down the prison beheading platform, knelt down and kowtowed!

The person who came was none other than Chen Di, the governor of the capital, and the other was Tang Shunzhi, the new secretary of the military department!

The supervisor said: "I don't know the governor of the capital, Tang Shangshu is here, and he is far away。。。。。 ”

Chen Di didn't deal with the supervisor, but just asked loudly, "Where is Li Chengliang?" ”

A burly young man in his twenties who was tied up with five flowers said loudly: "Li Chengliang is here!" ”

Chen Di walked to Li Chengliang's side: "You are the Datong Guard cavalry guerrilla Li Chengliang?" ”

Li Chengliang said: "It's exactly below!" ”

Chen Di asked: "The people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs want to cut off your head, do you have any grievances?" ”

Li Chengliang laughed: "Don't be wronged! The Tatar heavy army pressed the border, I was ordered to lead a hundred and ten cavalry to attack and disturb the Tatar grain road, but I didn't expect that the skills were not as good as people, and I was repelled by the Tatars, and I died unjustly! If you want to be executed, please hurry! Don't miss the time of reincarnation! Eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again! At that time, Lao Tzu will still be the soldiers of the Datong Guard and kill all the Tatars! ”

Chen Di praised: "What a man! Come on, untie him! ”

Li Chengliang saw that Chen Di was wearing a military attache uniform, and the supervisor saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, and he knew that Chen Di must have an extraordinary background. Li Chengliang arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask the name of the adult?" ”

Chen Di replied: "Metropolitan Governor, Chen Di! ”

Chen Di led the Flying Tiger Army to break the Japanese and repel the Tatars, and the name had already spread throughout the Ming army, how could Li Chengliang not know?

Li Chengliang exclaimed: "You are the governor of Chen Di and Chen Dadu who broke the Japanese with one enemy in Zhejiang and repelled the Tatar cavalry outside the capital?" ”

Chen Di said: "What, you still don't believe it? ”

Li Chengliang's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he is not afraid of Chen Di: "It is rumored in the army that the governor is the reincarnation of a killing god with a blue face and fangs, three heads and eight hands, but I didn't expect it to be so... Handsome. ”

Chen Di laughed and said, "Let's see, am I a blue-faced fang, am I three heads and eight hands?" ”

Li Chengliang said: "My lord, the last general was defeated in Datong, and I saw the Tatars attacking Datong and poisoning the people of Daming. I am guilty of a great sin, and I only want to die! ”

Chen Di waved his hand: "The responsibility for the defeat of Datongwei is not yours alone." Even if you are punished for crime, you can't talk about your little seven-rank guerrilla! ”

Chen Di turned his head and asked Tang Shunzhi: "How can you arrest a positive seven-rank guerrilla and behead it?" ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "Most of the governors don't know. After Datongwei was breached, only more than 100 people were left to report back to the military headquarters several times. Da Ming Law, the defender of the army lost the land beheaded! Therefore, among these more than 100 people, all military attachés of high rank were convicted of beheading. The soldiers were taken into custody. ”

Chen Di said: "These people are all exempted!" ”

Li Chengliang didn't seem to appreciate it: "Governor Dadu, we people have lost Datongwei, although we are of low grade, we also know that we are guilty!" You only want to die! ”

Chen Di is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally knows Li Chengliang's character Ruqi. Chen Di arched his hand and said, "Brother Ruqi doesn't have to be like this!" A failure is not terrible! The victorious and defeated soldiers are unexpected, and Bao is ashamed and ashamed! There are many talented people in Jiangdong, and their comeback is unknown! I only ask you, are you willing to make meritorious deeds? ”

Li Chengliang said: "If the Metropolitan Governor can really give me a chance to go into battle again to kill the enemy, I, Li Chengliang, will definitely die and have been avenged!" ”

Chen Di said: "The execution ground is not a place to speak! Loosen all the criminals of this group of Datongwei! Brother Ruqi, please go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to talk about it! ”

Chen Di, Li Chengliang, and Tang Shunzhi returned to the Dadu Governor's Mansion.

Chen Di asked Li Chengliang: "If you are given 3,000 men and horses, can you train them into an invincible cavalry within a year?" ”

Li Chengliang shook his head and said, "It's difficult." ”

Chen Di asked, "Why?" ”

Li Chengliang said: "Cavalry cavalry, first learn to ride a horse!" For a soldier who can't ride a horse, it takes a year just to practice riding! Besides, it takes another year to practice slashing right away. The three, but also to practice riding and archery, another year! ”

Chen Di said: "Then what do you mean, it will take more than three years to build a cavalry army of 3,000 people?" ”

Li Chengliang said: "It's not! To tell the truth, Datongwei originally had seven or eight thousand cavalry. However, Li Yunpeng, the chief soldier of our Datong Guard, did not know the way of the army, and even let the cavalry dismount and hold the city! Only a handful of cavalry were sent to attack the Tatar grain routes! The city of Datong was broken, and two or three thousand cavalry brothers escaped from the city! These brothers, in fact, are all elite cavalry! ”

Chen Di said: "Where are these people now? ”

Li Chengliang said: "This group of cavalry brothers knew that the defeat of the army was serious, so they fell into the grass near Datongwei. However, although they fell into the grass, they did not rob the people of the Ming Dynasty, but only the caravans of the Tatars! ”

Chen Di said: "If I appoint you as the commander of the Great Tongwei, can you reassemble these two or three thousand people and return to the Ming army?" ”

Tang Shunzhi persuaded Chen Di: "Metropolitan Governor, the defeated army is not available!" Not to mention that these people have already done bandits! ”

Chen Di waved his hand: "The responsibility for the defeat of the Datong guards lies with the main general, not the soldiers!" ”

Chen Di said to Li Chengliang: "Brother Ruqi, I will send you to Datong to regroup these two or three thousand defeated troops. After the assembly is completed, you will be included in the Flying Tiger Army, and as the first cavalry brigade of the Flying Tiger Army, you will be the commander of the Zhengsanpin Brigade! ”

Although Li Chengliang didn't know what the brigade commander was, he was already grateful when he heard Chen Di say that he wanted to let those two or three thousand defeated brothers join the Flying Tiger Army, a hundred-victorious army!

Li Chengliang said: "Your Excellency is really willing to accept those two or three thousand defeated brothers into the Flying Tiger Army? ”

Chen Di nodded: "I will not only accept them into the Flying Tiger Army, but also buy a large number of excellent war horses from Tatar to equip them!" And equip each of them with firearms! ”

Li Chengliang hugged his fists and said: "Most of the governors don't kill me, it's already a blessing from heaven." This has given our defeated brothers of Datongwei the opportunity to serve the country again, and I, Li Chengliang, will definitely live up to the expectations of adults! ”

Chen Di nodded with satisfaction: "Without further ado!" You immediately go to the military department to handle the official certificate of the command of the Datong Guard! After gathering the two or three thousand people in Datongwei, he immediately rushed back to the capital with them! ”

Li Chengliang said: "Okay! Then I'll quit and go to the military department first! ”

After Li Chengliang left, Tang Shunzhi asked Chen Di: "Metropolitan Governor, why are you so optimistic about this Li Chengliang?" You must know that he is a defeated general! ”

Chen Di said with a smile: "This general of the defeated army will be the first cavalry commander of the Ming Dynasty in the future, do you believe it?" ”
