Chapter 255: Great Change (Part II)

A few shadowy halos suddenly flashed on the dark official road, followed by the sound of horses' hooves from far and near. In a short time, two riders with small glass lanterns galloped by, and their mouths made a sharp whistle. After two horses, there are two horses, and after three or four people, it is a carriage with two horses going hand in hand. Although in the night you can only see that the carriage is extremely high, and the sides are also wide, but the glass lantern hanging on the front of the car shines brightly in this dark night, which is naturally very eye-catching, and if there are bandits, this is simply a natural target.

However, even if there are really bandits, seeing that there are horses in front of them and guards in the back, they will never dare to do it lightly. Therefore, this group of people came all the way out of the city, and it was unimpeded and there was no difficulty. At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves, whistles, and the sound of a horse's whip breaking through the air all came together, bringing a sense of extreme urgency.

There was a black hole outside, but the inside of the carriage was brightly lit. In addition to the main seat, there are also passenger seats on both sides of the huge carriage, as well as a small square table, plus tea and fruit plates, boxes of snacks, etc., all available. And there are tall cabinets behind the British Gong Zhang Mao on the main seat, and there are small drawers on both sides, and at this moment, a standing servant is busy taking out those silver spoons and bamboo sticks and other gadgets from the drawers, and respectfully sending a plate of peeled apples to Xu Xun.

Zhang Mao glanced at Xu Xun and saw that he was absent-minded, so he said, "You are a descendant, don't be anxious!" I've met your father, and he has a hand at riding and shooting, but I heard him say that you have only known him for less than a year, and I haven't learned any of this. It's strange if you really ride a horse at night and don't hit your head and bleed. This journey can be reached in half an hour at most, and besides, you can't pull people back overnight, and even if you toss in the middle of the night, you will have to wait until dawn to enter the city. Besides, I asked that father-in-law to go to the avant-garde place of the government army, and I don't think he will move much faster over there! Even if the whole army is mobilized overnight, it would be good if you could bring people back to Beijing during the day. ”

"It's true that the British public thought it through, but I was in a hurry and didn't expect this."

Xu Xun saw that Zhang Mao was reasonable, so he nodded hurriedly, but his eyes swept the carriage again. He had seen Zhu Houzhao's Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling's car before, and it was still too luxurious, but it was still not enough to say that it was spacious and atmospheric. Sure enough, after this look, he noticed that the brocade mattress and other things that Zhang Mao was sitting on were all half-old and not new, and they looked as if they were many years ago.

"This car was given to me by the Ying Temple back then, the best craftsmen and the best materials, even if it has been repaired over the years, it is still stronger than those new guys now, and it is not much slower than a galloping horse, but my old bones can't help but make them a little slower. People are old and useless, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a new generation replaces the old. When Zhang Mao said this, he looked at Xu Xun with interest and said, "Especially a young man like you, as soon as you come, you will be able to compare many noble children in the capital." ”

"The British public award has passed, and I am just a good moment."

Xu Xun was really in no mood to argue with people at this moment, so he smiled and said humbly, and he couldn't help but open the bamboo curtain by the window and look at it. But he saw the points of light in front of him, but the others saw the surrounding bushes at most, so he had to put down his hand. However, before he could hide his tea, a sentence suddenly came into his ear.

"Xu Xun, the old man leans on the old man and asks you, you are doing this with the holy will, but what name did the emperor give you?"

was said by Zhang Mao, Xu Xun suddenly realized that he was confused by Emperor Hongzhi's repeated words in front of the emperor, and he actually forgot about this stubble. Thinking of this, he stretched his hand into his sleeve, and immediately thought that the edict written by Xiao Jing covered with the jade seal had already been given to the British public Zhang Mao. And it's not like he hasn't seen it before, it only says transfer of troops, but it doesn't write anything to him.

"So, you're young after all, and you're really tender." The British Duke Zhang Mao pulled his beard and smiled slyly, and then said slowly, "This matter is not easy, the avant-garde of the government army is now only 2,000 people, which is far from enough, so the elite 105 from the 12th regiment battalion is enriched, so that you, the commander of the palm print, are in charge of it." ”

"This ......" Xu Xun saw that Zhang Mao was very sure, although he thought that he had only been impeached for privately mixing gunpowder and firearms, but he immediately stood up and said, "Thank you for your help!" ”

"Okay, you admit it! That's right, if you were afraid of squatting in prison before, the emperor would not entrust such a thing to you! But I can tell you, the twelve regiments have many thorns, many lazy people, and more pretentious. Although the emperor is wise, each battalion is less than a thousand, but those hundred households are not so easy to deal with! ”

"Thank you for the British reminder, I understand, and the next deployment must be more careful!"

By the time we arrived at the 12th regiment camp, it was already the middle of the moon. Although the 12th regiment battalion is not in the city, most of the people in charge of each battalion are nobles, and they are very well-informed, and they suddenly found that the British public Zhang Mao brought Xu Xun, who should have been in prison, and there was a transfer of troops, and they all suddenly woke up to the change in the capital, and there was no question for a while. As for the sergeants below who were suddenly woken up from their sleep by being pushed and shoved, and when they got up one by one to get dressed, not to mention the resentment. When they heard that they were transferred back to Beijing, some people couldn't help but make noise.

"I've just been there this last time, is it going to build some Buddhist temples and Taoist temples?"

"That's it, holding this bowl of soldiers' rice, but it's okay to work and work and work, no matter how hard you work, you can't earn a hundred households!"

"Do you still want to be a hundred? If I can give you a small flag, it will be amazing! ”

"Tsk, it's still the avant-garde of the government army, those little dolls are blessed, and they have won the name of the person with the knife not to mention, I heard that the general flag and small flag in it are all selected by them, and if you are lucky, you can even pull out a hundred households!"

A group of people waited for a long time to gather, and then waited on the school field where there were only one or two lanterns, the British Gong Zhang Mao and the Baoguo Gong Zhu Hui, who is now really in charge of the 12th regiment camp, as well as the first few generals and eunuchs in the camp checked that the decree was correct, and also checked the tiger talisman, and everyone's faces showed extraordinary solemnity. After a long time, Zhu Hui, the prince of the country, took a deep breath and said, "Since everything is correct, let's hand over the people immediately." However, if each battalion sends out 500 people, but the thousands of households under its jurisdiction do not follow, if this cannot be forbidden, it will inevitably be more difficult to lead at that time. ”

"What Bao Guogong said is, however, the lower officials have already requisitioned and transferred several hundred general flags of the government army to temporarily suppress a few days due to the emperor's will, and it is expected that there will not be too many problems." Speaking of this, Xu Xun paused, and when he saw Zhu Hui frowning, he owed again and said, "As for the delivery of the military horses, please wait until Gonggong Zhang and the others come." ”

There are only 1,500 people, and Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, said that it is false if he doesn't take it to heart - what these nobles want most is to lead the troops to the battle, and the rest is to guard the palm print in the 12th regiment battalion. Removing 1,500 people at once is equivalent to cutting off a piece of meat on the high-ranking officers up and down, where can you not feel distressed?

So, squinting at Zhang Mao, he couldn't help but scold in his heart The old fox who doesn't care about the life or death of others when he is full of fish, and then smirked: "It's okay, it's okay...... However, since Commander Xu came out by holy order, I don't know what the emperor's condition is? ”

Xu Xun pretended to be at a loss, and he didn't reveal the truth as if he had just confided in front of the British Gongzhang Mao: "I'm just a thing from Gonggong Xiao, and I don't know anything else." ”

Where is Zhu Hui willing to believe, the next step is naturally to test left and right to inquire, and several other generals are also unsure, and they have also joined in. It wasn't until Xu Xun was a little overwhelmed that a life-saving voice finally came from outside: "Gonggong Zhang is here with the avant-garde people of the government army!" ”

With the arrival of Zhang Yong with a large number of men, the 1,500 people who had been waiting on the school field outside for more than half an hour, and were almost too tired to sleep, finally learned of the letter of transfer back to Beijing - they were actually seconded to the front guard of the government army! Although the 12th Regiment Battalion is considered an elite, and the treatment is more than a step and a half higher than that of the ordinary Jingwei, the scenery before the avant-garde of the government army is too widespread, and everyone cheers for a while. In particular, the 100 households that led the team learned that the 1000 households in charge did not follow them, and they all had deep expectations and expectations.

If this is done well, wouldn't it be possible to change thousands of households to do it!

So, not to mention that Xu Xun didn't expect it, even the British Duke Zhang Mao and Baoguo Duke Zhu Hui and others didn't expect that this order not only did not cause much backlash, but the sergeants below actually agreed to the promise, and they were simply cheering when they saw the posture. Even so, it still took the second half of the night to gather and distribute people, and put in the boys who rushed over overnight. It wasn't until after the morning that Xu Xun finally succeeded in pulling the team out.

Even if it was only Yin Zheng at this time, but the sun came out early on a hot day, and the people who trafficked all kinds of melons, fruits, vegetables, vegetables, meat, and rice grains to the capital had already set off while it was still cool. Even if Xu Xun had horses to ride on this road, and the road was smooth, he could not leave his sergeant and return to the city alone, so he could only press for onlookers, and he arrived outside the Anqing Gate when he was almost there.

However, when he entered the city, he encountered something unexpected. Seeing that he was a vast crowd of more than a thousand people, and they didn't know any tiger talismans and arrows, they didn't dare to admit the order, so they immediately set up an iron to prevent them from entering, and at the same time they quickly reported to the top. Fortunately, it didn't take long for this layer to follow, and Sun Bin, who had followed him to the British Mansion before, rushed over. When he successfully brought people into the city, he sighed to Xu Xun.

"It's going to change......"
