After dinner, Queen Zhou and the ministers sat in a circle around the stove in a trembling circle, preparing for a meeting, but no one wanted to speak, feeling cold as soon as they spoke, and no one wanted to leave the stove one step away, and the taste of freezing was really uncomfortable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Everyone felt that their hands and feet were itching for a while, and it was indescribably uncomfortable, Liu Chun checked everyone's hands and feet, but they were just frozen, and it was not a big deal, and now they are warming up and rejuvenating their blood. It's just that Liu Chun wondered for a while when he saw Chengde in Langzhong, what is this kid doing, but after thinking about it, there is no Lang Zhong in such a big team who can't say it, it's disgusting to see Chengde shivering with snot, bird, this kid's health is too bad, it's not as good as the old man, and asked Wang Chengen who was swinging: "Manager Wang, what's the use of you bringing this kid here, look at this bear, what can you do to help the old man." Wang Chengen's teeth were fighting, and when he opened his mouth, he felt cold, pointing at Chengde but he couldn't speak, Chengde touched a handful of snot and said unconvinced: "Liu Liu Liu Taiyi, you can't say that, although the medical skills of the contemptible people are not as good as that of the Liu Taiyi, but the contemptible people are not as good as the knife wounds" "Shut up, straighten your tongue and talk to the old man again!" Hum! Jing Qi Ge'er, urge the ginger soup in the back hall to be ready, if it is good, go to the cold, and let His Majesty and the adults go to the cold, and you can't fall into the root of the disease. "Yes, old man, I'll take a look." Liu Chun ordered Jing Qige again: "Follow the old man around for a while, see if there is any frostbite, and then the old man will teach you a few more tricks." After speaking, he turned his head and left, Chengde's heart was blocked for a while, can you blame me, I'm a southerner, okay, this time it's really frozen.

For a long time, Queen Zhou and others felt that their bodies were hot, and the chill in their hearts was finally half gone, but they were still a little shaking, Queen Zhou looked at Wu Xiang with relief, this time thanks to this general Wu Xiang, who has extraordinary thoughts and experience, in line with the sensitivity to the battlefield, everyone has avoided the danger, simply decisive, brave and strategic, although there is such a disgraceful war history, it is also understandable, and the war with the old fox Emperor Taiji of the Houjin Dynasty, the military general of the Ming Dynasty has not won, except for being captured and can only escape. Suddenly, Empress Zhou remembered a person, that is, the big leader Dural, these ministers were brought according to the list provided by Dural, is it not a mystery here. Empress Zhou looked at the ministers around her, the one who had not been dismissed, demoted, exiled, or even taken to prison by her husband Zhu Youzhen, that Chen Xinjia was also transferred by Wang Chengen and mixed in the eunuch ranks.

Don't judge heroes by success or failure! This sentence jumped out of Queen Zhou's mind, so that Queen Zhou's mood and thinking have a higher understanding, yes, you can't label this person as incompetent for a lifetime just because a person made a mistake. It's easy to lose people's hearts like this, thinking of what her husband Zhu Youzhen did, Queen Zhou is very ashamed, these ministers have a loyal and patriotic heart, and they are much more clever than Zhu Youzhen in terms of wisdom and ability.

Empress Zhou made a decision, the first appointment power exercised from the imperial power, and said to Wu Xiang: "This escape, General Wu has made great contributions, and the palace has decided to appoint you as the general of Zhenguo, hereditary replacement, how about it?" ”

Wu Xiang heard that Queen Zhou had given himself such a cowhide reward, and he knelt on the ground in fright and kowtowed desperately, and shouted in his mouth: "Your Majesty can't, can't, how can the minister be, don't be, the minister is ashamed of the Ming Dynasty, the minister is guilty, he has received the emperor's grace, and he can serve the Ming Dynasty again, and the minister has nothing else to ask for." Empress Zhou looked at the surrounding ministers to ask for their opinions and asked: "What do you think of Aiqing?" Gao Hongtu, the head of the household department, said: "The ministers have no objections, and they are in danger to order this move to be very good." "All the ministers have no opinion on the first appointment of Empress Zhou, and now the big guy's life is saved by Wu Xiang, and we have to let this old boy work for us in the future, and we can't do it without giving some benefits.

Jiang Yueguang, a scholar of Dongge University, said to Wu Xiang earnestly: "Wu Xiang, Your Majesty has entrusted you with the order of the general of the Zhenguo in danger, do you know the weight of it?" "Of course, Wu Xiang knows that since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, only people who have a relationship with the royal family can appoint this Zhenguo general, and the sons of non-royal county kings cannot be appointed, to put it bluntly, the emperor's sons and relatives can have this appointment, and the specifications are quite high. It is impossible for a foreign surname to be appointed as the general of this town, unless this person is lucky enough to save the emperor's life when the emperor is in trouble, so he can reluctantly reward the position of the general of the town.

Wu Xiang's heart was like thousands of grass and mud horses galloping past at this time, and he was excited, I am going to become a king! I'm going to be the general of the town! For a while, my face flushed with excitement and my heart beat faster! , no matter how fucking the pride is, I don't look down on myself! At that time, he knocked his face to the ground three times and shouted: "The minister accepts the order!" Thank you, Your Majesty, Long Live, Long live, Long live! Empress Zhou nodded with satisfaction and said to Wu Xiang: "General Wu, no matter what you do in the future, this palace will not pursue it, there is only one will, that is, to protect the prince Zhou Quan to go to Heilongjiang, and to assist the prince to rebuild the Ming Dynasty in this life, can General Wu do it?" Wu Xiang's blood suddenly boiled and his blood-red eyes swore: "The minister will die to protect the prince!" Ministers die to protect Your Majesty! Ministers died fighting for the Ming Dynasty! "Good! This is what this palace wants! Wang Banban, give an order!. Queen Zhou preached to Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen received the order, and it was finished in a while, and the big seal was read out in front of Wu Xiang, and it was handed over to Chengxiang, Wu Xiang looked at the will excitedly and kowtowed to thank him, Wang Chengen smiled and said to Wu Xiang: "Congratulations to General Wu, congratulations to General Wu." Wu Xiang happily didn't know what to do, took out a long time from his arms, took out an ingot of gold and sent it to Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen touched the gold and smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, this color is good, and said to Wu Xiang: "General Wu, the will can be seen well, and the Sprinkle family will keep it for you after reading it." Wu Xiang immediately handed over the will to Wang Chengen, he had no place to put it on his body, and now he was marching again, and he was going to be punished if he lost it, so he thanked Wang Chengen at that time.

Empress Zhou was very satisfied with her first appointment, she had a desperate general in hand, everything was worry-free, and she had a little more confidence in her heart, and motioned for Wu Xiang to sit down and then hold a meeting, Empress Zhou asked Wu Xiang: "General Wu, how should I go next?" Wu Xiang said: "You can continue to set off tomorrow morning." Shi Kefa said worriedly: "General Wu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to march during the day, the army of Li Thief is frequently active around, and it is inevitable that the soldiers will meet each other in case of encounter." The ministers nodded yes, and now they feel that there are Li Zicheng's armies everywhere, and they are all done by accident.

Wu Xiang said confidently: "It's okay, Yichen deduced that the Li thief did not surround the capital, we will travel for another day tomorrow, and we can leave the scope of the capital, and then there will be no pursuers, and we can swagger away." Xinle Hou Liu Wenbing said dissatisfiedly: "I said General Wu, don't be a child's play, Your Majesty encountered Li Thief a few days ago is in danger, you can take it easy, if something happens, Hou Ye will be the first to cut off your head!" Wu Xiangcai is not a bullshit marquis, and analyzed in detail to Queen Zhou and the ministers: "The Li thief army has not really surrounded the capital now, the Li thief that His Majesty met a few days ago is just a pathfinder vanguard, and it is also God bless me Daming, God bless Your Majesty the prince, and the fortune of the sky, the vanguard of the Li thief temptation was accidentally occupied by the East Factory at the right time and place and annihilated in one fell swoop, which has made the Li thief vanguard who came from the back road frightened, and has desperately rushed back to the camp to resume his life, so there is no Li thief soldiers and horses in the east. Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household, asked worriedly: "General Wu, the old man is still worried, and he has to make sure that nothing goes wrong." Wu Xiang hugged his fists and assured Empress Zhou: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister has ordered the Dongchen spies to expand the search range to three miles, and the spies came to report, three miles away to the west, found traces of a large group of men and horses, is to go to the direction of Datong, is the cavalry chasing me today, and now they have returned to Datong, there is no sign of soldiers and horses within three miles." After listening to Wu Xiang's analysis, everyone felt relieved that a general who knew the military was capricious.

Wu Xiang said regretfully: "If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty's eastward journey this time was a secret word, the old man would definitely be sure to unite the hands of the Flying Eagle Squad and Dongchang to annihilate thousands of cavalry, and maybe he could get hundreds of good war horses, which could speed up our eastward journey." Meng Zhaoxiang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said with a big change in his face: "General Wu can't be reckless, it's thousands of cavalry, it is inevitable that he can be annihilated without leakage, and the consequences of running away are unimaginable, it will expose His Majesty's whereabouts, and the west will attract Li Thief's thousands of troops to encircle and suppress, and the Qing soldiers on the back road will not be idle when they get this news, and they will send troops to chase and kill, if that is the case, we can only return to the capital." Wu Xiang nodded and said: "I can save it, so I can only dodge, Your Majesty can rest assured, and the ministers know the severity." Empress Zhou nodded and said: "This trip is related to the fortune of my Ming Dynasty, I hope that all Aiqing will work together to promote the eastward journey, and all the marching matters are subject to General Wu's arrangement." "Huh!"

Queen Zhou sighed and said, "I don't know how the capital is now, it's a mess." Wang Chengen comforted: "Your Majesty rest assured, the Sprinkle family in the capital has arranged for someone to deal with it, and there will be no chaos in the capital within twenty days, and there will be no leakage of the news of His Majesty's departure from the capital." Jiang Yueguang asked worriedly: "What about twenty days later, I haven't arrived in Heilongjiang yet, and the news that His Majesty is not in the capital will definitely be known to the world, and after that, the risk of my eastward journey will increase, and the road will be more difficult." Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, asked Wu Xiangdao: "General Wu, how long will I wait to arrive in Heilongjiang?" Wu Xiang pondered for a while and said: "According to the current marching speed, more than two and a half months, if you want to increase the marching speed, you must throw away the weight of the march, but you will inevitably arrive in Jinzhou City within a month." Wang Chengen's face darkened and shouted: "You can't throw it away, it's a good thing to sprinkle, to eat and drink, and the most important thing is to wear, and you must know how important the mink clothes are." "Yes, you can't throw away warm mink clothes, I'm running away today, thanks to these three truckloads of mink clothes in hand, it's no problem if you don't freeze to death."

Wu Xiang touched his headache and said to Wang Chengen: "Manager Wang, what the old man said is not that your car is heavy, it is from Dongchang." The eunuch Fang Zhenghua said unhappily: "The weight of the East Factory is also very important, and no car is waste." Wu Xiang pointed at Fang Zhenghua and said: "Manager Fang, look at the carriage of your Dongchang, just one cannon occupies a carriage, and there are five carts of shells, I said that we are going to attack the city or fight, this eastward march should be lightly armed to reach Heilongjiang quickly, what are you doing with so many cannons, who are you going to bomb." Also, what are you doing with so many knives, guns, sticks, bows and arrows, there are so many people for you to kill along the way. Fang Zhenghua rolled his eyes and said, "It's always useful." Wu Xiang said solemnly: "In order to speed up the eastward journey, we must throw away the excess weight, vacate the carriage to load people, and also convert the carriage into a climbing plow, so that the speed of the carriage will be greatly accelerated." Fang Zhenghua was anxious: "You can't throw them all away, at least two cannons should be left, what if you want to attack the city." Wu Xiang waved to keep Fang Zhenghua shut up and ordered: "Tiger squat cannons, leave four cannons, a cart of cannonballs, swords, guns, sticks, bows and arrows all distributed, except for Your Majesty, all the equipment that can be used will be on your body, and the excess will be thrown away." Empress Zhou was deeply impressed by this suggestion and said: "What General Wu said is reasonable, everything is for the purpose of reaching Heilongjiang and joining the Flying Eagle Alliance, and the palace is not so arrogant, you can carry a bow and arrows and straddle a knife." Wang Chengen hurriedly stopped loudly: "Your Majesty can't, you can't work so hard with the drive of ten thousand gold, let the servants do it for you." Empress Zhou waved her hand and said: "Wang Companion, the current situation cannot be arrogant, you must also bring your own share, pass the order, tomorrow, all unnecessary actions will be abandoned, everyone can do their best and equip themselves, everything will be arranged by General Wu." "Huh!"

Empress Zhou asked Wu Xiang: "General Wu, what else is wrong?" Wu Xiang immediately replied: "This is a long way to the east, there are many people, and there will inevitably be less and less food, so from tomorrow onwards, we must save rations, feed each person in rations, and send people to hunt every day, which can be led by the flying eagle, no one can match the flying eagle in terms of hunting, and the prey is dried and stored every day so that it can be eaten, and not a bird can be let go." "Not only Queen Zhou feels that this idea is wonderful, but even the ministers feel that they have thought it through, this Wu Xiang is really not simple, he is really a general, he has thought about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it is easy to implement, I heard that this Wu Xiang is very cowhide in Liaodong, and he has a hand in marching and fighting, and it is really not in vain, listening to his advice is so thoughtful, the safety factor of the eastward journey is quite high.

When Empress Zhou and the ministers were discussing how to march lightly in the Heilongjiang Expeditionary Force, the director of the pot walked in from outside, his face was very bad, and he greeted the queen of Zhou and the ministers. Director Guoba could only say truthfully: "The emperor is awake." ”
