After Chen Zilong left, Zhu Cihong looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Look, asking a farmer to delay for so long is a major military event, it is better to have a few sweet potatoes, this time, it is a joke for you." ”

"How dare you!"

Zheng Yuanxun solemnly shook his body and said: "The minister thinks that what His Royal Highness and Chen Zilong talked about is the real military affairs. ”

"Minister's will."

"The same intentions."

Zheng Yuanxun's words can be regarded as a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, and everyone follows each other, but Zhu Cihong's words are blocked on the spot.

Fortunately, this crown prince really has no arbitrary plan in his heart, his approach is to speak freely, make up his mind, and if he doesn't do it well, he will naturally be punished.

When he speaks, he speaks directly.

When the civil officials spoke, Wang Yuan also arrived at Wei Yue, and said with a smile: "Wei Da, look at what they said is so lively, we can't interject, it's really boring." ”

"Sullen what?" Wei Yue's expression was solemn, and he smiled at this brave general and said, "As a general, except for military affairs, you can ignore everything else." It is better to turn a blind eye to what is in front of you and hear it as if you have not heard it. ”

"Yes, yes, I know!"

Wang Yuan was pushed back with a word, shook his huge head at the moment, stuck out his tongue, and stood honestly behind Wei Yue without making a sound.

Although he was pushed back, he was not convinced, and muttered in his heart: "No matter what, why did the surnamed Chen nod secretly when he talked about the importance of food?" ”

"Alright, no more delays." All the ministers were respectful, and Zhu Cihong was also happy in his heart, but he had a faint idea in his heart, vague, and he couldn't grasp it even if he tried his best...... Waiting for Fangyu, you slipped away again? Ming'er will punish you again to give lectures to the soldiers of the new army. ”

In the midst of the laughter of the crowd, the natural retreat that had not been ordered to accompany them, Hou Fangyu also retreated with a bitter face, but watching more than a thousand cavalry troops get on the horse in turn, first the direct guards surrounded Zhu Cihong and moved forward, and then Wei Yue and others led the army, the more than 1,000 horse teams were in order, not chaotic at all, and they also nodded secretly at the moment.

His father used to be the secretary of the military department, and he was in the foreign superintendent, and in the army, Hou Fangyu also stayed. It is the famous Zuo Liangyu, because it is the Hou family who has given great grace, so he invited Fang Yu to go to his army several times to praise and paint military affairs, although he did not stay for a long time, but he was much stronger than the scholar who talked about the army on paper.

Wei Yue and the others have indeed put all their efforts into training, these cavalry, almost all of them are soldiers of the new army, although they are all selected during the selection of seedlings who have ridden horses and know a little about horsemanship, but in a short period of time, they can do it so far, it can be seen how much effort has been put into it!

Of course, it is needless to say whether you can kill the enemy in battle. If you don't have more than half a year, you don't have to think about it.

Most of the cavalry were armed with torches, and on summer nights, the light of the moon was also excellent, and the sky was full of stars, even if it was a night march, it did not have much effect.

The whole cavalry first trotted longitudinally, and then gradually pulled out of formation and began to gallop.

Under the steady and fast rhythm, the cavalry of more than 1,000 people made a huge sound, the rumbling hooves rolled like thunder, Huai'an southward, there are still many farmers who take advantage of the moonlight night to harvest wheat, hear such movements, and then see a large area of torch light, at this time also looked up in amazement, although the sweat on the forehead does not stop, but also do not care to wipe it, just look at the cavalry of this brigade in a daze.

"What's going on again?"

"The prince is in our Huai'an, are there still thieves and soldiers who are in the realm?"

"Tens of thousands of troops are practicing, how can it be!"

"This is to the south, could it be that something happened in Nanjing?"

"Alas, let's collect our wheat, I hope the emperor blesses, the crown prince can stay in our Huai'an, tell us to pay the grain, and finish this year's taxes with peace of mind, even if I am asked to go to the Yuewang Temple tomorrow to kowtow and burn incense, kowtow a hundred heads!"

"King Yue doesn't care about this, Emperor Zhenwu is afraid that he will not be able to leave, and he will ensure that His Royal Highness the Prince will win a hundred battles and become auspicious in trouble!"

"That's it, God open your eyes, don't make any trouble."

Among the peasants, they don't know any big truths, the only thing they know is that the crown prince is there, and their future will be guaranteed, if they are not, it is difficult to say!

Of course, Zhu Cihong, who was at the front of the team, couldn't hear such a prayer, the sky was like a bright moon, and the armor soldiers around him were like clouds, in addition to the direct guards, most of these cavalry around him were newly trained in the past month, and physical fitness and queue training accounted for a large part, and then every day was to practice getting on and off the horse, trotting in circles, and forming a real ability to fight right away, it was really early.

Even so, these soldiers controlled the horses by their side, and gradually formed a formation of sharp soldiers, front teams, Chinese troops, and two wings, and the official road was straight and wide, even if there was no enemy situation in this area of Jiangbei, under the command of Wei Yue and other generals, the entire cavalry team maintained a fairly strict formation in the moonlit night.

As soon as it encounters an enemy situation, it can quickly deploy and attack head-on with sharp momentum.

Such an urgent assembly, a long-distance mission, is more beneficial to the growth of these cavalry than ten days of training in the battalion, and if it is done seriously, after the tempering of blood and fire, I am afraid it will be even more useful.

However, Zhu Cihong, who was galloping on horseback in the formation, the original heat in his heart had slowly decreased.

When he first heard about Yangzhou, he remembered the riots in Suzhou and Kunming during the Wanli period. At that time, at the instigation of officials and gentry, the rogue mob in the city gathered tens of thousands and killed the mine supervisor and tax supervisor.

Can the citizens make trouble, can they slaughter a city?

Besides, the local officials, the garrison, and the gentry are all one, so even if they want to kill, who will they send to kill?

This incident left a deep impression on Zhu Cihong, and when he first heard about it, his murderous intent came from these memories. And now after Chen Zilong's interruption, the original anger and murderous intent gradually disappeared, and on horseback, although the bumps kept coming, his thinking was also extremely flexible.

The original vague ideas are now gradually becoming clearer.

On horseback, he smiled slightly, but when he raised his eyes, the moon was white and the wind was light, and the starry sky was twinkling.

............ "Be careful, Dai Niu, you are stepping on my feet." ”

"What's the noise? Lao Tzu is not a heart. ”

Chen Mingxia's apartment is in the very center of Yangzhou City, and it is also very close to Slender West Lake. In the early morning, a group of five people climbed first from the low wall in the alley, and then climbed all the way to the ridge of the eaves of the main hall.

In the early morning, the sun is not too hot, the morning breeze is slow, and the person who blows is very refreshing, among the five people, Qin Shouhua is naturally the mainstay, seeing that everyone is noisy, his eyes are only glanced, and a few very fierce and very strong smuggler salt dealers immediately stopped their mouths, although their expressions are still giggling and not in shape, but they are much more honest.

To be able to do this is already Qin Shouhua's prestige is high enough, these people, there are Huai'an people, there are Xuzhou people, and there is also a Shandong Linqing person, all of them are fierce and abnormal, very fierce.

When they were captured, if it weren't for Qin Shouhua's suppression, I am afraid that they would have to risk the crime of killing officials and rebelling in Fucheng, and they would have resisted.

"Brother Qin, how long do we have to stay?"

Crowded with boredom, the Huai'an salt seller called Dai Niu couldn't help but ask: "Can't you watch here all the time?" ”

"The one surnamed Chen has a guard, and he looks very powerful, so there is no need for us to take action." Qin Shouhua glared at the surnamed Dai and said in a low voice: "Look at the style, it's best to be safe and sound!" ”

As he spoke, Chen Mingxia happened to come out of the main hall, and when he got up early in the morning, his face was very ugly, as if he had not slept well all night, and at this time he was walking in the courtyard with his back hand, and he also looked preoccupied.

When he saved people yesterday, he was still high-spirited and very proud, and now he looks like this again, Qin Shouhua and the others were also very surprised when they saw it.

Chen Mingxia's thoughts, of course, a group of smugglers will not know, even if he himself, he doesn't know what he is thinking at this time.

Only then did he realize how much resistance there was to doing things!

"Come on, prepare the horses, I want to go back to Huai'an."

After a delay in the courtyard for a while, the sky was bright, and Chen Mingxia also made up his mind, here in Yangzhou, ignore it for the time being, go to Huai'an first, report the actual situation, and let the prince decide what to do next.

But at this moment, there was a sudden whistling sound outside, first faint, then like a landslide and tsunami, and then nearer, it seemed that even the roof tiles were shaken, making a trembling sound.

"Howling Fusion Changes!"

In an instant, Chen Mingxia's face turned pale. As a young official from the Jiangnan family, the events of the Wanli period must have a large proportion in his childhood and juvenile memories, and as soon as he heard the movement outside, he immediately knew that there was something wrong with the things in front of him.

The people in the whole yard also immediately walked away, and many people climbed to the courtyard wall and looked out at the wall.

The old servant of the Chen family saw the opportunity the most, and when he saw the crowd outside, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "The salt dog who said the dog is making trouble, there must be someone behind it, now is not the time to reason, so many people, it doesn't make sense to be reasonable." When the chaos is terrible, it has to kill people. Sentry Liu, where is Sentry Liu? Hurry up, protect our master and go quickly! ”

His words were very clear, the sentry called Liu Junfeng in the courtyard was an old man in the direct guard, and he was sent to protect Chen Mingxia, and when he went to a high place, he first spat with a "bah", and then his face was pale: "People are prepared, and the water around them is impassable, where to go?" As soon as we go out, the chaos will immediately become even worse, and the top priority is to notify the garrison as soon as possible...... However, those bastards are all from Huaiyang Town, and they have something to do with the salt merchants, so they may not be reliable! ”
