194 Expedition

(Today's second chapter.) From this chapter, it officially enters the fourth volume, Beacon Shandong. In this volume, Lian Zining led the army to conquer the white robe, which was exciting, hehe, stay tuned.

Well, there was a long time of hesitation between the title of the chapter in this chapter, 'Expedition' or 'Three Daughters'...... For the sake of me so painstakingly naming a name, the collection and recommendation votes will rise quickly...... )

September 22, 50 years of Zhengde, it is suitable to travel.

Outside the Zhengyang Gate, two thousand soldiers were divided into twenty small phalanxes, converging into a huge phalanx, spears like forests, people like dragons, and a stream of blood rose to the sky, straight into the sky.

Looking at these soldiers wearing cotton armor, wearing pointed hats and spears, standing straight, passers-by all looked sideways, and muttered in their hearts where such brave and arrogant military masters came from. Could it be that the elite border troops transferred from the Nine Sides were transferred from the nine sides to see the tense situation above?

When I saw the big flag fluttering in the team, this surprise suddenly became clear.

It turned out to be Wu Yijun, a soldier of Lord Lian Zininglian? No wonder they are so strong and brave as a dragon!

In the huge place of Yanjing City, there has always been no secret to speak of, that is, the secrets in the palace, and the small people of Jingshi are often used to make conversations after tea and dinner, not to mention other people. After patrolling Wu Yijun yesterday, I don't know who leaked the bottom first, and the hula-la-la-shi capital spread, saying that the famous Lord Lian in the capital is really capable, and it took two months to train those standard-bearers in the suburbs of Beijing into a strong army!

The Wu Yi Army is about to go south, and those rebellious bandits who are still bouncing around in Shandong will melt away!

It seems to be as if Wu Yijun was able to clean up the 10,000 cavalry by himself.

This was actually done by Lian Zining on purpose.

In these days, if you want to be famous, the first of the three methods is to blow, the second is to blow, and the third is to blow!

In this era when information dissemination is not developed, the transmission of information relies more on word of mouth between people. Lian Zining secretly hired a lot of idlers to spread the news in places with a large flow of people such as teahouses, restaurants, and opera gardens in the capital.

From Jiajing to Longqing, and then to Wanli, for more than 30 years, in addition to two famous generals, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, the two of them were bright and brilliant for a while, and they were known as Yu Long and Qi Hu.

The two of them are about the same in ability, and their records are about the same, so it can be said that they don't know whether they win or lose, but why is Qi Jiguang's reputation among the people louder than Yu Dayou, I don't know how many times? The people of the world, no one knows Qi Jiguang and Qi Shaobao, but I am afraid that only one tenth of them knows Yu Dayou, which is good!

Why?

Qi Jiguang can be a man, sleek and flexible, judge the situation, and never offend anyone. And Yu Dayou, whose surname is as hard as a stone in a pit, has offended a sea of people, so everyone is willing to praise Qi Jiguang, word of mouth, and Qi Jiguang's reputation will go up as soon as he comes and goes. And Yu Dayou naturally plays the role that was trampled on by everyone......

What Lian Zining has to do now is to build momentum.

First beat out the name of Wu Yijun and blow it up, so that the people in the market and the people in the DPRK and China will know that Wu Yijun is a strong army that can fight. In this case, as long as the situation of the counterinsurgency improves slightly and the battle is won, the first thing that comes to people's minds is, how much of a role did Wu Yijun play? Was this victory fought by Wu Yijun?

If the war is won, the most brilliant thing is naturally the commander, and as for the generals below, there are really not many people who can be known.

Lian Zining doesn't want to be greedy for other people's credit, but he doesn't want his own credit to be coveted by others! It's not that he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but this kind of thing has been staged a few times in history, and it's always good to be prepared. Otherwise, when the time comes, the credit will become that a certain adult commands and schedules well, then there is really no place to cry!

Following the holy decree, there were also 10,000 taels of silver and 500 sets of high-quality three-layer cotton armor, and the 10,000 taels of silver Lian Zi Ning didn't take it to heart, and sent it down casually, as a reward for this expedition. And five hundred sets of three-layer cotton armor surprised him, the quality of Wu Yijun's soldiers is nothing to say, military discipline is good, and the weapons are all good ash poles on the arsenal division of the Ministry of War, but it is just one - no armor!

Armor, the second life of a warrior, is self-evidently important, even more than weapons. A good set of armor gives soldiers a lot of chances to survive on the battlefield.

These five hundred sets of armor can be regarded as solving Lian Zining's urgent need, he transferred the five hundred households wearing armor to the periphery of the team, and from the outside, it looks like all the soldiers of the Wuyi Army are wearing armor, adding a lot of impression points.

According to the Ming practice, before the army sets out, it is necessary to go to the south gate of the capital outside the Zhengyang Gate, and bow to the emperor in the direction of the Forbidden City, which is also the meaning of praying for the triumph of the expedition.

The march of a large army is not a trivial matter, and naturally it should not be neglected.

When Lian Zining led the people to arrive, it was just the middle of the day, and a trace of fish belly white had just appeared on the horizon. At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War were already waiting, and all the ceremonial utensils were ready.

The Ministry of War came to the head of a six-grade department, and the Ministry of Rites was the director of the Ancestral Hall of the Six-Rank Rite Department who was personally there, and the Ministry of Rites was regarded as an accompaniment, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were in charge of the etiquette.

Under their guidance, Lian Zining read a lengthy article, and then did a few more etiquettes, and then led the whole army to face the north five times and bow three times, and the etiquette was over.

Sending off a few officials, Lian Zining stepped on the war horse, took a long breath, he glanced at the towering city gate of Zhengyang Gate, a bleak autumn wind hit, hunting with a big banner on his head, and suddenly gave birth to a strong and fierce heart!

On the other hand, Shi Dazhu stepped forward and said in a low voice, "My lord, it's time to go." ”

Lian Zining nodded, and turned around to take another look here, here, outside the Zhengyang Gate, was the first time he appeared in this brilliant place. The grass that had sprouted when I first came here had gradually turned yellow. His eyes swept over again, and he couldn't move away anymore.

On the side of the road outside Zhengyangmen, where people came and went in the morning, three carriages were parked.

A familiar oil-walled incense car, a bearded man on the wheel of the car is looking at him, smiling strangely; An ordinary carriage, but the coachman is very familiar, it is his own domestic servant Xiao Liuzi, smiling flatteringly; There is also a delicate and delicate carriage, the sedan curtain is slightly opened, there are Yiren, with a veil, holding a suqin, and a pair of cold eyes.

Lian Zining only felt that his head was extremely big.

The curtain of the carriage in his own carriage was lifted, and Yu Susu leaned out half of his body, saw Lian Zining at a glance, beckoned to him, and motioned him over. And almost at the same moment, Xiaoqing also emerged from the oil-walled incense car and waved a handkerchief at him.
