Chapter 602: Powerless



Three earth-shattering shouts, the army triumphed, like steel and iron, sealing the wolf, the blood of the Han family boiled in an instant and was resurrected.

Emperor Chongzhen stood on the Chengtian Gate from beginning to end, looking at this incomparable military might, even if it was the Ninety-Five, he didn't feel the color change.

The Ningxiang army was still clamouring below, the neat footsteps lapping the ground, the stagnant water rising, and the five thousand men and horses looked like they were 100,000 troops, walking calmly and unstoppably.

Everyone looked at it at the same time when they passed by the Chengtian Gate, and this oncoming fierce aura made the heavens and the earth solemn.

A heroic and exhaustive atmosphere came to his face, making Chongzhen feel as if someone had grabbed his throat with his hand

。 The heat in his chest was holding in it, and it was blazing.

As an emperor, he was born in the palace since he was a child, and until now, he has never been out of the palace.

In addition, his body is not good, and sometimes, he looks a little gloomy.

But in his body, there is the blood of Taizu and Chengzu, and the heroism of the ancestor Jin Ge Iron Horse. It is precisely because of this tradition that in the Ming Dynasty, there was no harmony between the Han Dynasty, no alliance with the Tang Dynasty, no Song Dynasty's New Year's coins, and no gifts from brothers and enemies. The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.

It's just that today's Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, even if he intends to cheer up, but the times are eroding day by day, which makes him have a deep sense of powerlessness.

Now, the majestic military formation of the Ningxiang Army has resurrected the blood and courage of the ancestors in his bones in an instant, and he is deeply shocked.

There were tears flashing in his eyes: This is my army, this is my army, this is what my Ming army looks like!

The wind blew, and the soaked robe stuck to his body, and his body trembled violently, but not because of the cold.

I don't know when, the itching on my body miraculously disappeared, and there was an indescribable comfort.

On the tower of the city, the cabinet, the six ministries and the nobles of the clan in Beijing were hiding from the rain in the building, and they were alarmed by the neat footsteps of the Ningxiang army, and they all ran out to see.

In an instant, like Emperor Chongzhen, everyone was shocked by this incomparable military might. ()

These officials had a high status, coupled with the unique habit of not taking the emperor in the eyes of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what the occasion, they dared to whisper below. The person who can mix with today's high position, who is not an old fritter in officialdom, what kind of formation has not been seen.

But today, an indescribable feeling struck, and everyone subconsciously became serious.

Many people were even shocked.

Of course, among this group of court officials, only Liu Yuliang's face remained as usual. After staying in the Ningxiang Army for nearly half a year, Sun Yuan's soldiers practiced daily exercises He didn't know how many times he had seen it, and he was already aesthetically fatigued, and he felt that the army should be like this.

Only such an army can be regarded as worthy of the annual salary allocated by the imperial court

。 As for the other border armies, is that called an army?

In this battle of Jinan, he entered the city alone and solved the crisis in Shandong, and Liu Yuliang was very proud. The best thing is that he also got the title of Earl Wuding, which is unique among the civil officials of the imperial court.

But it is precisely because his own merits are too great, and he has been rewarded by the imperial court, after returning to the capital, there may not be no one in the yamen of the various ministries who suffer from pink eye and say some cold words. Especially in the past few days, Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou deliberately suppressed the Ningxiang Army because of the funeral of Lu Xiangsheng. What to say, the reason why Ning Xiangjun and him Liu Yuliang have made such a great contribution is not because of good luck. At the beginning, Gao Qiqian and Liuzhen fought with Jiannu first, and Jiannu suffered a lot of losses, and the army was tired, so he Lao Liu chose a cheap.

As a result, his reputation as Liu Yuliang's soldier is not only not louder, but he is also nicknamed the lucky old Liu. It was about Yang Sichang who also felt that he Liu Yuliang was a threat to his military power, and he began to silently squeeze him out of the cabinet. There can only be one person in the cabinet who is in charge of the military department, and there is no room for two tigers on one mountain.

Lao Liu used to be a good man, although he was a cabinet assistant, but his subordinates had no power, so he could only endure it.

Today, Ning Xiangjun's performance was too good, seeing the stunned appearance of everyone, Lao Liu's face was disdainful, and he snorted in his nose: They are all a group of ignorant and deaf people, and the corpses are vegetarian, but they are useless to the country. Now I know what the army led by the old man looks like, train such an army, see who dares to say that the old man is the lucky old Liu, and see who is still muttering below, saying that the old man's exploits are inexplicably cheap?

In the crowd, Hong Chengchou pursed his lips tightly, he was also from the two rankings of Jinshi, and he thought very highly of himself. During this period, he was as ambitious as all the officials in the world who studied and entered the world, thinking about how to serve the country and the king, take on the things that happened before him, and leave a name for the ages.

This time he led the Qin army into the defense of Gyeonggi, he didn't think about leaving, and the imperial court also intended to let him serve as the governor of Jiliao because the performance of the Guan Ning army on the battlefield was really unbearable. After all, his performance in the northwest battlefield in recent years has been too prominent, and he is a rare talent in the imperial court who knows soldiers and is good at fighting.

Being able to preside over the use of troops against Liaodong is something that Hong Chengchou has longed for a long time. First of all, the imperial court paid so much money every year, which was enough to feed its own troops. Qin Jun has followed him up and down for many years, and this time he can finally give him a good future.

Moreover, Jiliao is close to Gyeonggi and close to Jun's side, which is very beneficial to his real ambitions.

To put it mildly, at least you can be familiar with it before the emperor drives, unlike in Shaanxi, no matter what credit you make, no one will see it.

However, in this battle of Baoqiushui, the Qin army fought really humiliatingly, but there were many more variables in making himself the governor of Jiliao

For this reason, he reached a tacit agreement with Yang Sichang, allowing the Qin army to be at the forefront of the review and deliberations, showing the military might of the Qin army to the Son of Heaven. As for the Ningxiang Army, it has to be suppressed no matter what.

But a rainstorm ruined everything. The dignified border army of six towns, the dignified Qin army, but it collapsed in this darkness, still in front of the emperor, this face was so lost that Hong Chengchou wished that there was a gap in the ground to get into.

But in such a chaotic situation, how can the Ningxiang Army reorganize the troops, this ...... This Ningxiang Army is really strong...... The legendary Qi family army is probably nothing more than that, right?

Hong Chengchou was still very confident in his training methods before, and felt that although the Ningxiang Army was strong, it was not as strong as the Qin Army. Everyone is the army of the Ming Dynasty, and he also knows Lu Xiangsheng, and in terms of military ability, he is also in the same league as himself.

Now when he saw the performance of the Ningxiang Army at the military parade, Hong Chengchou was deeply shocked. Perhaps, he still can't understand the characteristics of the modern army shown by the Ningxiang Army, or maybe he can't realize what this new army that comes across time and space means to this era. But as an experienced commander, he immediately knew how strong this army was.

The fact that the Ningxiang Army was able to stand in the rainstorm without chaos, and that it was able to get out of this neat queue and be neat and uniform like one person, can no longer be described in words.

Qi Jiguang said in "Ji Xiaoxinshu" that when a soldier goes to the battlefield, he can stand in a steady line, hold a weapon, have sweaty palms, and saliva in his mouth, even if he is a strong soldier. It can be seen that in the feudal era, the requirements for the so-called strong army were very low. As long as there is basic discipline and can do what is ordered, it is considered a first-class elite.

Therefore, it is not surprising that this dark rainstorm caused confusion in the army.

But with the Ningxiang Army as a comparison, whether it is the Qin Army or the Six Towns Army, the unbearable is particularly prominent. Moreover, since this strong contrast is in front of the Son of Heaven, it is inevitable that he will appear incompetent.

Hong Chengchou could imagine what the emperor was thinking at the moment, his heart was cold, and he said in his heart: "If you can't say that you will be the governor of Jiliao, there will be many variables. Jiliao is the focus of my northern border defense, directly defending the Beijing division. Today, the Qin army is so unbearable, I am afraid that His Majesty will be greatly disappointed, and it is inevitable that people with intentions will be given an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

The eastern defense line of the Ming Empire ate an astronomical amount of military salaries every year, and the Liao salary has become a huge burden on the state finances

。 Therefore, in a sense, the governor of Jiliao is a first-class fertilizer, but in terms of oil and water, it even surpasses Cao Yun and salt Yun. Unlike Cao Yun and Salt Yun, the army is a monster that eats money, and there are no account books to check.

He Hong Chengchou has studied all his life, and all he thinks about after he comes out is self-cultivation, Qi family, and governing the country and leveling the world.

But to level the world, you need money. You can't do anything without money and power.

Therefore, this time Hong Chengchou took the post of governor of Jiliao, and the Qin army was very excited. Being able to stay in a golden place like Shuntianfu and Liaoxi is much stronger than the bitter cold northwest.

"If this doesn't work out, but pity the tens of thousands of soldiers who have followed me for many years!"

Hong Chengchou felt sad for a while, and felt unusually powerless.

He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Yang Sichang, who was standing beside the emperor, now, above the court, if anyone can figure out the sacred heart the most and win the trust of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that only Yang Ge is old.

Hong Chengchou's appointment as the governor of Jiliao was recommended by Yang Sichang, and if this bad situation can be reversed, I am afraid that it can only depend on whether Yang Sichang can exert influence on the emperor.

He set his gaze on Yang Sichang's face, trying to see a hint in his expression.

It's a pity that Yang Sichang still looks calm and calm, as if he is watching a lively scene that has nothing to do with him. This made Hong Chengchou feel anxious in his heart, and then looked at the villain appearance of Liu Yuliang, another cabinet member, who was triumphant, his eyebrows fluttering, and he suddenly sighed in his heart: "Oops, terrible, I forgot about this person." Perhaps, what Sun Yuan did today was arranged by this person! ”

After Liu Yuliang made great contributions in Jinan, his reputation in the government and the opposition became even louder. Up to now, in the mouth of the public, Liu Ge Lao has become the only second-rank member in the cabinet besides Yang Sichang.

Moreover, compared with Yang Sichang, this person has more practical combat qualifications, could it be that Liu Yuliang also covets Liaoxi?

The old superintendent of the cabinet cabinet is not without precedent, and Sun Chengzong, who was martyred in Shandong last year, was not the superintendent of Liaoxi as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet?

At the thought of suddenly drilling such a big man as his competitor, Hong Chengchou's head was as big as a fight, and his face changed.
