Chapter 198: Sending troops to Zhuozhou

The age of the installation of Wang Gong Factory can be roughly equivalent to the setting of Beijing City. That is, in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420), it was subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, and there was a eunuch in the factory, more than 30 craftsmen, and some temporarily recruited helpers. The daily output of gunpowder is about two tons, and the standing reserve is about 1,000 tons. It is exclusively for the use of the forbidden soldiers in the Beijing camp, and if there is no war, the consumption of gunpowder will be less, and the reserve will be more. It is estimated that there will be two or three thousand tons of stockpiles.

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse, (May 30, 1626 AD) Wang Gongchang had a peculiar disaster, in an instant, the sky was earthquaked, the smoke and clouds covered the sun, the fire soared into the sky, tens of thousands of houses collapsed, tens of thousands of dead and injured people, and even shook the rule of the royal family.

Now the Wanggong factory is rebuilt, the scale is not as large as before, the storage of gunpowder is much less, and the safety measures are much stricter than before. However, there are still 7 or 800 tons of gunpowder stored in the current Wang Gong factory.

Chongzhen didn't think about it, so he nodded and agreed to Yang Tingjian's request:

"I immediately write a warrant, whatever materials Aiqing needs, just take them as you like."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, as long as the gunpowder lead bullet is sufficient, Wechen will have no worries."

Yang Tingjian secretly added another lead bullet to it.

After Yang Tingjian left the palace, he hurriedly returned to the "Dragon Gate Inn", and the holy decree written by Chongzhen to Yang Tingjian must be immediately sent to Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Jin by telegram.

Jin Zhuyu had already established intelligence department strongholds in some major places in Beizhili, and they must have telegraphs, and the telegrams sent to them by Yang Tingjian would definitely be received.

It is said that Lu Xiangsheng has been resting in Baoding Mansion for a few days, and the recital sent by the fast horse to the Beijing Division has not yet been heard, and the result is that Lu Xiangsheng can't go forward with the Tianxiong Army at all, because the front is Shuntianfu. Within the realm of Shuntianfu, if there is no emperor's will, it is impossible to bring troops in casually, although Lu Xiangsheng is anxious, but there is still no way.

Just when Lu Xiangsheng didn't know what to do next, suddenly a brocade-clothed guard came to the outside of the Tianxiong Army's station. A guard reported to Lu Xiangsheng:

"My lord, there are a few brocade guards outside the gate, and they say they are here to announce the decree."

"What? Isn't that the middle door wide open to welcome the Holy Decree? ”

"My lord, they are Jinyi Guards, and they have already checked their number plates, but they don't have a guard of honor for the decree!"

"No, now that the soldiers are in chaos, it's normal for the honor guard to be inconsiderate, so immediately invite Jinyiwei Jinyiwei Fanzi to come in. The officer personally asked. ”

After a while, several brocade guards came to Lu Xiangsheng's big tent, and these brocade guards didn't say anything about the decree, but directly handed a piece of paper to Lu Xiangsheng, and said:

"My lord, this is the holy decree that Lord Yang ordered us to pass on to your lordship, and now that Gyeonggi is about to be surrounded by Jiannu, Lord Yang is afraid that the holy decree will be intercepted by Jiannu on the way. On the flying pigeon to pass the book to the lowly position, please accept it. ”

Lu Xiangsheng took it and took a piece of paper and looked at it. This is ordinary paper! Even the seal on it is the seal of the Jinyi Wei Baihu, this is not a holy decree at all, in Lu Xiangsheng's impression, how can the holy decree be like this, if it is a false holy decree, it is a felony to kill the head. And it may also be a fine work sent by Jiannu.

"Grab ......"

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly roared, and dozens of sword and axe men rushed into the big tent and tied up several Jinyi guards.

"Lu Xiangsheng, what are you doing here? We are the subordinates of Yang Bingru, the new champion, you dare to be so rude. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was tall, he looked at a few Jinyi guards who were held down, and said viciously:

"You are the meticulous work of the slaves. What do you call a holy decree? There is no emperor's jade seal on it, nor is there a cabinet seal, this is simply a piece of waste paper. Look at the Saph, which is written above,

Fengtian carriers, the emperor system said...... This is a false decree, and let the official send troops to Zhuozhou, is it a trick of your Jiannu, you have already laid an ambush on the way to Zhuozhou, just waiting for the official to throw himself into the net? …… and other dog thieves, and do not recruit them from the truth, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin. ”

The Jinyi Wei Baihu led by him hurriedly argued loudly:

"My lord, look at the content above, the format is right."

"It's formatted correctly, but that doesn't mean you're not a slave."

"My lord is looking at the above content, the holy decree has been said very clearly, Jiannu intends to surround the Jingshi from all sides, this Zhuozhou is the southern gate of the Jingshi, there is no room for mistakes, presumably the adults also know the importance of Zhuozhou.

In addition, the adult's night does not collect should also be found out some situations, now Jiannu divided the army into two ways, the right road Jiannu attacked Changping, the left road Jiannu attacked Xianghe, they are now at least three hundred miles away from Zhuozhou, such a long distance, how to set up an ambush for Jiannu! ”

"Oh, your lord's name is Yang Tingjian, what position is he in now?"

If these people build slaves, they definitely don't know Yang Tingjian's two identities, and Lu Xiangsheng can be regarded as verifying whether they are the work of the Jiannu faction.

"Report to your lordship, our Lord Yang has two official positions, one is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and the other is the Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Zhenfu."

"What are you adults talking about?"

"The word Bingru is like that."

"How many wives does Yang Bingru have?"

"Report to my lord, our adults have two equal wives, one is called Jin Jiyu, and the other is called Red Lady."

This gold inlaid jade may be more famous, but Yang Tingjian's other flat wife, the Red Lady, is rarely known.

"Hmm...... Count you as passing the border for the time being, and take them down. ”

"Your Excellency...... My lord, I am really the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty! It's not Jiannu's meticulous work, why do you have to manage us. ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't pay attention to the shouts of these brocade guards, but pondered in the big tent, although this holy decree is not sealed, but according to the content, it is the current extremely correct strategy, and the strategic point of Zhuozhou is too important.

"Order the soldiers to immediately pull out the camp and send troops to Zhuozhou."

Lu Xiangsheng's master hurriedly explained:

"My lord, are you waiting, the army must not act in such a hurry."

"Let's do it! I don't need to say the importance of Zhuozhou, you should also understand that the official has actually planned it in his heart for a long time, if there is no holy decree today, the official will take the troops to Zhuozhou without authorization. ”

Qi Jin's side was similar, after they tortured and verified the Jinyi guards who went to convey the holy decree, they immediately sent troops, but these Jinyi guards were all taken into the army by them without exception, and good wine and food were served.

Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Jin are both people who dare to fight, regardless of whether their army can fight Jiannu in the field, but they dare to show their swords to Jiannu, then they are great heroes, Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Jin died on the battlefield in history, and the Chinese nation has never forgotten the heroic sons and daughters who fought to protect her.
