Ye Xiang had promised Teng Xiang Siwei to see him off when he left the division, instead of sending the generals according to the usual etiquette. The www.biquge.info ceremony of sending generals is usually held at the noon gate, and the address of this expedition ceremony is chosen in the big church.

Luo Sigong, Zhang Weixian, Wang An, Huang Jiashan and Shuntian Mansion Yin Wang Shunding have not negotiated for the Son of Heaven for the past few days, and finally decided that the Son of Heaven would use His Majesty Dan to drive out of Bei'anmen, and go out of Deshengmen through the Drum Tower and go out of Deshengmen through the Drum Tower.

According to the stars in the north, Xuanwu belongs to Xuanwu, and Xuanwu is the main sword soldier, so he sends troops to fight, and generally goes out of the city from the north gate. The reason why it is named Deshengmen, which means "winning by virtue" and "moral victory", in the event of a war, the troops are sent from Deshengmen, and the division is divided by Andingmen, respectively, to take the meaning of "winning the flag" and "being too safe and stable".

Along the road, there are five cities and horses as the first layer of guards after sprinkling and sweeping the streets, and there are also Jinyi guards to assist, and there are thousands of guards in the East Factory in the dark, so it can be said that it is difficult for a fly to fly in. In fact, these are a bit redundant, because the current etiquette stipulates that ordinary people should avoid the holy car sideways when they encounter it, and they do not gather around to watch the excitement like later generations.

At this time, there are also traffic rules, that is, the cheap avoid the expensive, the less avoid the long, the light and avoid the heavy, and avoid the coming. For example, when an official encounters a public horse, the first and second grades must lead the horse to stand sideways, and the third rank must dismount and wait for it to pass later.

The whole procession is the front guide and the attendants, the attendants, the guard of honor, the emperor jade chariot [lù] (that is, the carriage in which the emperor rides), the courtiers, the front and rear drums, and the guards and guards. Hu is the Jinyi Guard, and the honor guard is the standard-bearer Weilishi, but these wrestlers are under the jurisdiction of the Jinyi Guard.

The ceremonial guard when the Son of Heaven travels is divided into three classes, and the great dynasty, the ceremony, and the sacrificial use of the halogen book; The Chang Dynasty set up His Majesty Dan to drive for Xingxingjingshi; Jiajing South Patrol set up Wu Chen Jia. The significance and function of the book are to ensure the safety of the emperor and his attachés; show the supreme authority of the emperor; regulate the hierarchy of liturgy; Shows devotion to the gods and ancestors of nature.

There are 200 people, there are 30 pairs of 10 kinds of weapons such as single dragon halberd, double dragon halberd, spotted sword, my staff, and ritual knife, a total of 40 single and double dragon fans, a total of 4 Huanghua and Huangqu umbrellas, 5 five-party umbrellas, 4 whips, and 50 bows and arrows. In addition, there are one step chariot and one jade chariot, and 6 horses before and after.

In addition to the brocade guards and honor guards, there were also civil and military officials and public horses above the third rank in Beijing, a total of nearly 2,000 people, and the entire team leader had arrived at the Dajiao field, and the civil and military ministers behind were still outside Bei'anmen.

The jade chariot is pulled by six sturdy white horses, the first four and the second back, because the decoration is named after jade, Ye Xiang sat on the golden chair inside, listening to Zhang Weixian's explanation who followed the jade chariot, "Your Majesty, Li Rubai was slow to send troops before, and then withdrew the army chaotically, plus he is still in-law with the thief brother, every point is enough to kill him." What's more, Liaozuo is in danger now more than ever, and not killing is not enough to determine the hearts of the army, he is now committing suicide, count him smart. ”

Although the jade chariot was not fast, but Zhang Weixian, who was already in his old age, trotted all the way to follow, he was already sweating profusely, kicking and shouting, and his compassion was overflowing, so Wang Chengen, who was following on horseback, gave him the horse and said, "Guogong is the emperor who takes care of his life, and helps the courtiers to bully my youth, if the emperor is here, do you dare?" ”

Zhang Weixian said that he had to see the temple at the beginning, he hid in the harem, and it was difficult for even the cabinet chief assistant to meet him, how could the ministers have the opportunity to advise, and all the excerpts were left.

Zhang Weixian saw that Wang Chengen was far away, and when he looked around, no one would eavesdrop, so he got closer and persuaded, "Your Majesty, isn't it just to send Shenji Battalion and Tengxiang Siwei to Liaodong now?" If you want the world to be calm, the power of Wenchen should not be underestimated, especially the Donglin people, they dominate the public opinion of the world, if Your Majesty insists on going against Wenchen, I am afraid that people's hearts will be unstable. If this person's heart is unstable, how can the world be stable? ”

"Is this still my world? Let Wenchen have the final say. Ye Xiang negative airway.

"Your Majesty, be cautious." Zhang Weixian looked left and right again, "Weichen came here to ask His Majesty to spare Yang Hao, this Yang Hao can't be killed." ”

"Why? Just because he's a Donglin party? Ye Xiang disagreed.

It was Zhang Weixian's turn to be surprised, "Your Majesty knows?" So why ......"

If rationally speaking, although Yang Hao's defeat has the meaning of becoming a king or defeating a king, this result is caused by a variety of reasons, the most important thing is that the treasury was short of silver at that time, including now, and could not withstand the inaction of a large number of officers and soldiers living outside the pass, so the courtiers and Wanli repeatedly urged the war.

So, Yang Hao made a battle plan head-on, that is, the four roads were divided into two ways to encircle, and this plan attracted the doubts of Ma Lin, Juniper, and Liu Wei, but he invited Shang Fang's sword and threatened everyone to enforce it. On February 24, before the Ming army left the division, he sent Ran to Hetuara to inform Nurhachi of this plan, exaggerating the army to 470,000, and changing the time of departure to March 15. This may seem like a suspicious ploy, but it didn't work.

Nurhachi has been in the elite of Liaodong for many years and has his own intelligence sources, and soon he neutralized all kinds of news to get the truth of the matter, and also said a sentence that was widely circulated in later generations, "I will only go all the way by relying on a few roads!" ”

The results have been said before, so I won't repeat them. Yang Hao was taken back to Beijing to be imprisoned after the defeat, this time, why was he not on the cusp, and Wenchen had to target Li Rubai, in addition to the reason why Li Rubai was free, mainly because Yang Hao was a member of the Donglin Party.

Whoever controls public opinion controls thoughts, this is not exaggerated at all in this era, Ye Xiang is going to declare war on Donglin by killing Yang Hao.

"As far as I know, Yang Hao is honest and honest, and he also made great achievements in his early years, but he is not good at using soldiers, and he is such a person who is ruining the Ming Dynasty." Ye Xiang can't blame Wanli for being ignorant, he has a fair and honest reason in the matter of Yang Hao, and he is not afraid of being controlled by others, "His sins are self-serving, underestimating opponents, losing the country, and unforgiving according to the law." ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you replace it with a death row prisoner from the prison of the Criminal Department." Zhang Weixian saw that he couldn't convince the Son of Heaven, and he was unreasonable, so he begged directly.

Ye Xiang shook his head at Zhang Weixian before lowering the curtain, "It's him, leave the right and wrong to future generations to argue." ”

The large teaching field corresponding to the inner teaching field is outside the Desheng Gate, which is mainly the training ground of the Beijing camp. The Beijing battalions were stationed around the Beijing Division, mainly outside the Desheng Gate and Anding Gate. The city is garrisoned by the emperor's 22 guards, such as Jeju Wei in Fuchengmen City, Wei'er Hutong stationed in Yanshan Qianwei, and Wudaoying Hutong in Andingmen is Wu Dewei.

The Beijing camp has undergone repeated changes, and now includes the Shenji Battalion, the Shenshu Battalion (formerly the 3,000 Battalion), and the Five Military Battalions, with a total of 120,000 people, under the command of the Rong Zheng Office. The Rong government hall is the Rong government, and one of the military ministers is the governor of the capital camp Rong Zheng; One of the Wenchen members is the assistant director of Jingying Rongzheng; It has 26 deputy staff officers. The five military battalions practiced the camp formation, the Shenshu battalion practiced patrolling, and the Shenji battalion practiced firearms.

At present, the commander of the Beijing camp is the British public Zhang Weixian, and Xu Honggang, the governor of Liangguang appointed by Zhu Changluo, has not yet arrived, and is represented by Huang Kezhang, the former secretary of the military department and the current secretary of the criminal department.

The five military camps have one general and 10,000 troops; two adjutant generals, each commanding 7,000 troops; There are four generals on the left, right, front and rear, each commanding 6,000 troops; There were four guerrilla generals, each commanding 3,000 troops, for a total of 60,000. The generals of the Shenji Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion are the same, and the general commands 8,000 troops; two adjutant generals, each commanding 6,000 troops; There were six generals, each commanding 3,000 troops, for a total of 72,000 men. This is the establishment set during the Jiajing period, in addition to 140,000 foreign reserves.

There are more than 50,000 people in the teaching field, each in the phalanx, Tengxiang and the four guards are separated from each side of more than 10,000 people, in the middle are the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion holding bird guns, there are 32,000 people, in front of the Shenji Battalion there are 2,000 Yongzhu iron cannons transported from the Rong government, Wang Gong Factory, and armor factory, and 500 Lianzhu iron cannons. These cannons were forged during the temple years to prepare for emergencies. The firearms in the Da Nei Military War Bureau were stopped because of the strong advice of the celebrant supervisor, and in the end, it was decided to leave Guo Qin, the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, in the Beijing Division, and Zhu Guoliang, the chief soldier of the Shenji Battalion, to take the rest of the officers and soldiers to Liaodong.

Before the courtiers arrived, Ye Xiang called Li Shi and Zhu Guoliang to him, and said to Li Shi, who was dressed in military uniform and had a heroic posture, "The Imperial Horse Supervisor first asked Wang Chengen to act as his agent, can last night's admonition and instructions be clear?" ”

Commandment, that is, before the army set out, the emperor sent an edict to the general of the army, warning him to pay attention to the matters to be paid attention to when marching; Conferr, that is, the day before the departure of the army, the emperor summoned the general of the army to give a face-to-face lecture. Ye Xiang taught Li Shi the guerrilla warfare of the Celestial Dynasty Taizu and asked him to use it flexibly.

"The slave remembers that he followed Jianyi Nurhachi's saying, 'Let him come as many ways, I will only go all the way', give full play to the mobility of Tengxiang Siwei, fight guerrilla warfare, attack and harass the rear of Jiannu, do not seek to kill, but seek to hurt the enemy, and the livestock will not be left alive wherever they pass, and the grain and grass will be burned."

"You're careful, but I still have to remind you to take measures according to the time and situation, and don't be dogmatic." After Ye Xiang finished speaking, he asked Wang Chengen to take the handwritten letter and hand it to Li Shi, "This is my own handwriting, the words are ugly, you bring it to Xiong Tingbi and let him burn it immediately after reading it." ”

Li Shi stepped forward to take it, "The slave understands. Then he took three steps back, knelt down and bowed three times, raised his head with tears in his eyes, and said, "Long live Lord, the slaves can no longer serve in front of the emperor, Lord must take care." ”

Ye Xiang knew that he was a pawn in the East Palace before, and he must have had a lot of intersections with the original Zhu Youxiao, and he couldn't take a vacation, but he was still not used to it, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't learn from women dragging mud and water." You go to Shen Yin first, he will also follow you to Liaodong this time, and let him help you spread the word if you have something. ”

Zhu Guoliang was originally the chief soldier of Jizhen, a native of Shandong, and hung the title of the secretary of the military capital of Nanjing. There is no fixed grade for the rank of general soldier, and his rank and treatment are determined according to the fictitious title of the book, which is the second grade.

Zhu Guoliang has a national face, thick eyebrows, big eyes and beard, and has the unique boldness of a Shandong man, he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and said in a rough voice, "Minister Zhu Guoliang see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Ye Xiang stretched out his hand to help, "Aiqing is our Zhu family, let's be flat, how do you feel about me letting you go to Liaodong?" ”

Zhu Guoliang got up and arched his hand and said, "Back to the emperor, the minister was stationed in Shanhaiguan, and he paid a lot of attention to the affairs of Liaodong, hated Jiannu for plundering my grain and grass, killing my people, and often faced thieves in his dreams, but when he woke up, he was in Beijing and was often distressed. Although the ministers know that it is also important to defend the capital, they hope to fight on the battlefield and serve the country with their bodies. This time, the emperor could let the Shenji Battalion go to Liaodong, and the ministers and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion would bravely kill the enemy and charge into battle to repay the king's kindness. ”

Ye Xiang Yaoyao's head, "The Shenji Battalion is different from the Tengxiang Four Guards, most of them are infantry, I let you defend the city with the firearms in your hands, and it is not the time to fight with Jiannu." After going to Liaodong, listen to Xiong Tingbi's dispatch, don't act arbitrarily, understand. ”

Zhu Guoliang had a smiling expression, "The minister understands, Gonggong Li has also mentioned a lot before. As soon as the emperor asked the minister to say his feelings, the minister said it truthfully. ”

Ye Xiang smiled at first, and then scolded with a straight face, "You don't joke, and the army doesn't gossip, if you disobey the military order then, even if you kill countless enemies, I will be punished in the same way." ”

Zhu Guoliang knelt down on one knee again, "The minister doesn't dare, after going to Liaodong, he must obey Xiong Jingluo's dispatch and focus on the overall situation." ”
