After receiving the holy decree, Sun Yuan began to prepare for the trip. () This time he entered Beijing to offer prisoners, and the Son of Heaven had to personally inspect the troops, so he had to leave a deep impression on Emperor Chongzhen in any case.

What does Chongzhen say, according to Sun Yuan's analysis of the historical data at hand, although he is already a middle-aged man in his thirties this year, his personality is still as extreme as a hairy young man. And he has a noisy personality and does things without brains. In terms of using talents, once you look at the right eye, it is light to be promoted to key positions.

For example, when Yuan Chonghuan saw Emperor Chongzhen, he probably lost his mouth and said, "If you use the policy of the ministers, you can level Liao in five years", but Emperor Chongzhen took it seriously and directly made him the governor of Liaodong.

Dealing with this kind of emperor, Sun Yuan felt that it was not a difficult task. As long as he shows him what the current Ningxiang Army looks like, maybe I, Sun Yuan, can also get a chief military officer or something.

Besides, now after the bloody battle in Chuzhou, the Ningxiang Army is seriously war-weary, like Shaowei, and even has mental problems. It's also time to pull them out on a public trip and recuperate their bodies and minds.

Sure enough, when they heard that they could go to Beijing this time, all the officers and men of the Ningxiang Army let out a cheer. The thought of going to Beijing and being inspected by the Son of Heaven made many people so excited that they lost sleep. （）

After being busy for six or seven days, getting ready to pack, the main force of the Ningxiang Army was all dispatched and went north through the official road.

Zhu Ting also went back to Nanjing, and before leaving Ningxiang, Sun Yuan and her agreed to meet the Zhu family's father and daughter in Huai'an. This time to the north, not only the Ningxiang army, but also the Tianxiong army will also send a force of 5,000 people from the south of Fengyang to Yingxiang. After everyone meets in Huai'an, they can go to Beijing together.

It is said that in ancient times, water transportation was the most convenient way to travel. It's April, and if you take a boat north along the Grand Canal, you can reach it in half a month at most. However, because there are so many people, the cost is huge. Lu Xiangsheng wrote a letter saying that he told the troops to walk on the official road. In this way, it is fast to be able to reach Beijing in two months.

After Sun Yuan heard the news, he only shook his head in annoyance. It took two or three months to get to Beijing, isn't this a toss-up?

Seeing Sun Yuan's dissatisfaction, Boss Guan smiled and said, "Inspector Lu's arrangement is good

。 ”

Sun Yuan was puzzled: "After walking for two or three months, I don't know what we will be tired of, why is it good?" ”

"General, you don't know, the troops march, it costs money and food. Besides, now that there is no war, there is no reimbursement for the cost of entering Beijing, so it is impossible for us and Lord Lu to pay out of our own pockets, right? ”

Hearing Guan Tao say this, Sun Yuan suddenly realized and was speechless for a while.

Indeed, Lu Xiangsheng didn't have much money. The military expenses of the last Chuzhou War were squeezed out from Fan Jingwen. But because it was Fan Jingwen's money, as a result, Fan Shangshu joined him and snatched the command. And because of Fan Jingwen's blind command, it almost caused an unprecedented defeat.

If a large army goes north by ship, it will need to hire a large number of ships. Moreover, the food and drink of these thousands of people along the way is also a huge expense. Today's Lu Xiangsheng is very poor, and he, Sun Yuan, to be honest, doesn't have much military spending.

And if you walk to Beijing, you can eat and drink for free. It turned out that according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the local officials had the responsibility of providing food and shelter for the army during the transfer of the troops with the military talismans.

Because of this, the marching speed of the Ming Dynasty army was notoriously slow, and it was common to walk more than ten miles a day.

Seeing that Sun Yuan was depressed, Guan Tao comforted Sun Yuan again: "Of course, it's okay for the general to be comfortable if he wants to take the boat." However, if our Ningxiang Army takes a boat, what about the troops sent by the Tianxiong Army to escort the high thieves, I am not interested in inviting them on the ship. Besides, the officers and men of our army are only afraid that they are more willing to walk, right? ”

Sun Yuan was puzzled: "This is strange, if you don't sit on a boat, why do you want to walk?" ”

"General, most of our army is now northerners, and you will get dizzy when you take a boat." After the Battle of Chuzhou, the Ningxiang Army was enriched with more than 1,000 Shaanxi and Henan soldiers, all of whom were born extremely tall and the quality of the soldiers was very good, which finally changed the thin and weak appearance of the soldiers of the Ningxiang Army.

Many of the recruits were landlubbers. If they stay on the boat for ten days and a half months, it is estimated that they will have to lie down as soon as they arrive in Beijing.

In contrast, it is still comfortable to walk. 、

Boss Guan: "Besides, everyone said that it was not easy to go to Beijing this time, so naturally it was good to walk and see the scenery." What's the point of staying in the cabin all day long and throwing up in the dark? ”

Sun Yuan laughed: "They regard this review in Beijing as a publicly-funded tour."

。 ”

Boss Guan: "And." ”

Sun Yuan: "Why do you have so many reasons?" Boss, I really didn't know you were so eloquent. ”

"The villain is a businessman, and his life is all based on his three-inch tongue." The boss was a little embarrassed, and said, "Moreover, even if we go to the capital first, there is nowhere to go." The men and horses escorted by the Tianxiong Army to Gao Yingxiang didn't know when they would arrive. No matter how important the sacrifice ceremony is, it is usually arranged in the early autumn and not on a hot day. ”

"Okay, General Ben is approved, let's take the dry road to Beijing." Sun Yuan nodded: "That's it." ”

According to Sun Yuan's plan, it is now the end of March. If the army goes to the capital on foot, it will take three or four months on the road, and when it reaches the land, it should be the middle of August. After another month in the capital, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Lu Xiangsheng's offensive against the thief army should be almost over, and his appointment has also come down.

Zhengke directly led the troops to Xuanfu to take office first, and fought for Lu Xiangsheng. After Lu Xiangsheng annihilated the thief army and came to Xuanda to take up the governorship, the Ningxiang army happened to merge with the Tianxiong army.

This is probably the intention of Lu Xiangsheng to write a fold and recommend Sun Yuan to be a general of the Xuanfu!

Since there is an inheritance of the Tianxiong Army in the future, Sun Yuan always has to be a pioneer for the Tianxiong Army, an interest group, and make some contributions to serve the public.

It seems that he will stay in the north for many years to come.

Looking up at the sky in the north, Sun Yuan suddenly had a smile on the corner of his mouth: The sky is high and the clouds are light, Yan Zhao Fengyan, when you get there, you will know how high and far this sky is and how wide the earth is.

The small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, the fishing songs of the water towns, although quiet and rich, will inevitably reduce the pride in the husband's chest.

The army of thieves, the disease of scabies. Only Jiannu is the henchman of my Ming and my Han family.

Or Lu Xiangsheng said it well: "What kind of ability is it to fight a civil war, if you want to fight, you will go to the north, and if you want to fight, you will beat his wolf Juxu and beat him to plow and sweep the caves."

It's time to go.
