"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says:. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ。。。。。 The person who announced the decree above was frustrated, reciting the decree with rich emotion, and Hong Chengchou kneeling below was full of mixed feelings, he was a little unexpected, although he knew that Emperor Chongzhen valued himself, but he didn't expect it to be so important.

"Weichen Hong Chengchou leads the order! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! Hong Chengchou bowed respectfully.

"Congratulations to Governor Hong!" The father-in-law who announced the decree said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! This is a blessing for the courtiers! Hong Chengchou said with a smile, and then said: "Father-in-law has worked hard!" Come! Sit down and take a break inside, the conditions in the northwest are a little worse, the hospitality is not good, please forgive me! ”

"What did Governor Hong say!" The father-in-law who announced the decree said with a smile, "Since Governor Hong is so entertaining, it is better to be respectful than to obey the order!" Thank you! After saying that, he smiled and walked inside.

"Congratulations to Hyung-koo!" Yang He said with a smile on the side.

Hong Chengchou replied with a smile and said, "For Your Majesty's love, Weichen is very afraid!" This is not an easy task! ”

Yang He stroked his beard with a smile and said with a smile: "Indeed! One inside, one outside, it's not easy to tidy! But the old man thought it wouldn't be difficult for Heng Jiu! ”

"Borrowing the scriptures and saying good words!" Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

After everyone congratulated each other, Hong Chengchou went to receive the food and salary sent by the imperial court, as well as the artillery and various gunpowder to support the war.

Under the sun, fifteen artillery pieces were neatly arranged, and the chills were shivering, and behind the guns were boxes of neatly packed wooden boxes, which contained artillery shells, grenades, explosives, and so on.

"It seems that this is half a year's savings of the Ministry of Industry!" Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

"Governor Hong! With these guys! No matter how many enemies come, I believe they can be blown to pieces! Li Zicheng's eyes lit up.

"This time there are no more enemies than Tartars! There are also enemies that we are not familiar with, so don't be careless! Hong Chengchou said solemnly, and then Hong Chengchou walked to the side of the artillery and looked at it: "This batch of artillery seems to be different from the last time I saw it." ”

"Report to the Governor! Of course not! This time, the gun has been improved again! The range and firepower have been increased by at least 30%! The gunners who came with him said with a smile, this time along with the artillery, there are also the academies of the Army Academy, which have been carefully trained by the Portuguese and the experienced gunners of the Ming Dynasty, and are now sent by Chongzhen to participate in actual combat.

Hong Chengchou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay!" Very good! Then he smiled and looked at these slightly immature faces and said, "Don't be scared when you young people go to the battlefield!" ”

"Don't underestimate us, Governor! Besides, with Governor Hong here, we won't be afraid of any more enemies! One of the gunners laughed.

"Haha! Good! Hong Chengchou laughed.

"Report to the Governor! They're all assembled! Gao Yigong said at this time.

"As soon as I heard about the salary, it came very quickly!" The corners of Hong Chengchou's mouth twitched, and then he said: "Liu Fangliang, Hao Yongzhong, you two pull these artillery pieces over, and let Zicheng lead the soldiers outside and surround them!" ”

"Hyung-koo! Is this in a hurry? In case it gets out of control。。。。。。 Yang He said with some concern on the side.

"There's no time! Besides, where will those general soldiers easily and obediently give in? If the imperial court wants to reform, it must have an iron-blooded hand! If the enemy comes and we can't unite, what's the use of them? Yang Jingluo, are you right? Even if they resist, with these guys, I am confident that they will not see the evening sunset! Hong Chengchou sneered, and then said, "Okay! Yang Jingluo, I'm going to go now, as for other things, please leave it to you, the enemy is now, and there is work! ”

Yang He nodded, and then Hong Chengchou left with a smile, watching Hong Chengchou leave, Yang He breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a little chill in his back.

"Father! Person...... Yang Sichang was about to say something, but Yang He interrupted: "Okay! Do your best! Walk! ”

On the square, the drums of war were beating, and the soldiers of the Ming army from the four towns stood in formation, waiting for the arrival of Hong Chengchou, the drums were finished, in the spotlight, Hong Chengchou climbed the high platform, looking at the teams below, Hong Chengchou couldn't help frowning, only to see that the formation of the soldiers below was not neat, many soldiers stood crookedly, twisted and twisted, not a soldier at all, and the age of the soldiers was uneven, old, few, young, and so on, "I really have to streamline!" How can such an army fight? Hong Chengchou sighed.

"Now! At the moment of the great enemy, the governor doesn't talk much nonsense, so you should know what you are doing when you are summoned today, right? Hong Chengchou said.

"Know! Payout! The commanders of the towns below shouted excitedly.

After Hong Chengchou listened, the corners of his mouth twitched: "It's to pay food!" But it's going to be sent again after the whole thing! ”

"Governor! What's this over? What are you going to do? One of the chief soldiers wondered.

"You must know about the military reform of the imperial court, right?" Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

Those general soldiers were stunned after hearing this, of course they knew, but they didn't expect it to be carried out at this stall where the war was about to be fought, but they wanted to make a good profit before the reform, so they shouted one after another: "We don't know!" ”

"Don't know?" Hong Chengchou smiled, and then said, "Li Guo! You read the policy of the imperial court again! Be louder! Let all the brethren hear! ”

"Yes! Governor! Li Guo roared loudly, and then took a text and began to read it aloud, the voice resounded through the loudspeaker, and as Li Guo read, the soldiers below began to stir a little, "I didn't expect the court to take care of us so much!" Many of the soldiers began to mutter.

"Shut up!" Immediately, someone whispered cold drinks at them.

Finally, after a while, Li Guo finished reading and said to Hong Chengchou: "Report to the governor!" Mission accomplished! ”

"Good!" Hong Chengchou nodded, and then said, "Now do you all understand?" ”

"That Governor Hong! If something suddenly happens in the next place, can you take someone away first? I'm so sorry! "One of the commanders hugged his fists.

"Oh? Something temporary? Then you take someone away! Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

"Thank you, Governor!" The governor smiled, then waved, "Go!" ”

The soldiers reluctantly followed the general soldier away, but after a few steps, the general soldier saw the row of artillery facing him at the door and the soldiers who were waiting for him, and the cold murderous aura couldn't help but make him tremble, "Butcher Hong really deserves his reputation!" The soldier gritted his teeth.
