"Last year, Sun Chuanting captured and killed Gao Yingxiang, and this year he surrendered the fifth battalion of Gezuo, so that only Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are left in the Ming Dynasty. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Chengen said happily.

Chongzhen said excitedly and loudly: "Big companion, quickly go and invite Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to come here, and I have something to talk to him about." ”

Yang Sichang is dealing with military affairs in the military department: allocating food and salary, dispatching troops, counting war losses, and being very busy, seeing Wang Chengen come to invite, although Yang Sichang was puzzled, but he did not dare to delay, and hurriedly followed to the Forbidden City, and walked all the way to the Qianqing Palace.

"Aiqing has worked hard, Wang Daban, quickly bring the fragrant tea of the union to quench Yang Aiqing's thirst." Chongzhen said politely with a smile.

"Don't dare! Can't! Yang Sichang hurriedly excused himself.

Chongzhen laughed and said: "Yang Aiqing, you recommended a good talent for the imperial court, what is a cup of tea." I'm going to reward you heavily. ”

"Could it be that the saint is talking about Xiong Wencan?" Yang Sichang guessed

"Exactly. Xiong Wencan is really a talent, in less than half a year, he surrendered the entire army of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, and the whole army surrendered......" Chongzhen repeated with a smile.

"Oh? Is this true? Yang Sichang asked in surprise.

He was a man who knew the soldiers, and knew that it was much more difficult for the entire army to surrender than to wipe them out completely, especially the veteran rogue teams like the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution.

Chongzhen handed Xiong Wencan's report to Yang Sichang, and said with a smile: "This is Xiong Wencan's performance, take a look." ”

Bowing down, he respectfully took the report and took it, Yang Sichang looked at it carefully and slowly, and read it three times in a row

Only then did he return the report to Chongzhen, and said with a happy face: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Xiong Wencan has such a great victory, this is Your Majesty's Hongde." ”

Waving his hand, Chongzhen said: "Aiqing, don't give me a high hat, this battle is fought by you outside, and it has nothing to do with me, especially Zhao Guohua of the loyal team, Xiong Wencan praised him a lot in the fold, saying that he is both wise and brave and talented, and last year's victory in Zhuozhou is also related to him, it seems that Lian wants to get a closer look at this person." ”

"Zhao Guohua? Loyalty? Yang Sichang chanted a few times, suddenly remembered, and said: "The minister remembered, this Zhao Guohua was recommended to the minister by Liu Neng, the servant of the ministry, if you want to know the details of this person, you can pass on Liu Neng." ”

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Big companion, quickly go to the messenger's department to enter the palace." ”

After two pillars of incense, Liu Neng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, came to the Qianqing Palace at a panting trot, and saw that Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was also here, so he didn't care about greetings, and hurriedly gasped and knelt down and kowtowed: "Minister, Liu Neng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, knock to see Your Majesty, long live long live long live." ”

"Get up, Liu Aiqing." Chongzhen said with a smile.

Seeing Liu Neng standing up, Chongzhen said again: "Wang Daban, give me a seat." Wang Chengen brought an embroidery, and Liu Neng only dared to put half of his ass on it.

Glancing at him, Chongzhen asked, "Liu Aiqing, how did you know about the Ji'an Volunteer Team and Zhao Guohua?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Neng became nervous in his heart, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that Your Majesty knows about Zhao Guohua's rebellion, as his recommender, if Your Majesty knows that Zhao Guohua was recommended by me, I don't know what the consequences will be?" Thinking of this, he looked at Yang Sichang and saw him smiling, and then peeked at Chongzhen, and saw that he didn't look angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said boldly: "Your Majesty, this Zhao Guohua was recommended by his brother to the minister, he said that Zhao Guohua's volunteer team has outstanding combat strength, and the nearby bandit mountain is frightened, and the minister thinks that such a team should not be buried, so he boldly recommended it to Yang Shangshu." ”

"Oh, I see! In the last battle to defend Zhuozhou, he also made great contributions, this Zhao Guohua is so good at fighting, what did his parents do? Is it famous? Chongzhen continued to ask with great interest.

At this time, Liu Neng put down the heart he was carrying.

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this Zhao Guohua is not my Ming clan, he is the descendant of the Chinese remnants who were transferred overseas during the pre-Qin period......

"The descendants of the Chinese remnants who were transferred overseas during the pre-Qin period?" Chong said in surprise.

With his head down, he walked back and forth a few times, and he said loudly: "Big companion, quickly pass on the command of Jinyi Wei to make Tian Ergeng come to see ...... Lian."

Early the next morning, more than 20 brocade-clothed guards escorted a eunuch and rushed towards Wuchang Mansion

In order to be able to rush to Hangu Pass as soon as possible to meet Li Zicheng, the march was very fast, and he rushed to the vicinity of Hangu Pass in a few days, and not long after camping, he saw a team of more than 5,000 people playing the banner appeared, Tuo Yangkun was overjoyed, and sent someone over to ask, saying that it was Tian Jianxiu's team, Tuo Yangkun said to Huang Chao: "It seems that Brother Li sent Brother Tian to contact us, go, we went to see Brother Tian." With that, he strode over, and Huang Chao followed.

walked to the front of this team of intruders, but still didn't see Tian Jianxiu come out to greet him, Tuoyangkun said loudly and unhappily: "Brother Jianxiu, my old Tuo is here, why don't you come out to say hello, do you have an opinion on my surrender to Sun Chuanting?" ”

"That's a good point!" As he spoke, Sun Chuanting's deputy Luo Shangwen rode out on a horse and walked out with a big knife

Seeing Luo Shangwen, Tuo Yangkun was taken aback, and immediately understood that the army in front of him was fake, so he turned around and ran, shouting as he ran: "It's a plan, everyone run." ”

Luo Shangwen caught up with his horse, stabbed two times in succession, killed Tuoyangkun and Huang Chao, and said: "This place has been surrounded by officials and soldiers, and those who want to survive should quickly kneel and surrender." ”

As he spoke, he took out a small red flag from behind him and waved it, and countless figures immediately appeared on the two hills.

Seeing this, Tuoyangkun's subordinates had no choice but to surrender on their knees.

After solving the Tuoyangkun rebellion, Sun Chuanting united with Hong Chengchou and deployed troops to press Li Zicheng step by step.

According to Zhao Guohua's instructions, Zhang Shun, Niu Huan and Lu Qing returned to Ji'an Mansion to first meet with Meng Liangchen, the prefect of Ji'an, and Chen Sheng, the prefect of Ji'an, and told the truth about the "rebellion" of the loyal and brave team.

"There's no way, this is a military secret, it has to be like this, otherwise it won't be sudden, this strategy is a secret discussion between the captain and Governor Xiong, and I only learned the inside story when the net was about to be closed." Lu Qing smiled with his hand.

Zhao Guohua Zhizhi captured the old Hui Hui and other five people, and was subdued to the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, he made such a great achievement, it will inevitably arouse the attention of the saint and the important ministers of the court to the loyal team, the loyal team performed so well, naturally there is also the cultivation of Ji'an soldiers, with which maybe he can also be a step higher.

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng, the soldier of the guard, said with a smile: "Captain Zhao did the right thing, military operations must be kept strictly secret, once the secret is leaked, it will be a heavy loss." ”

After talking to Meng Liangchen and Chen Sheng about the battle ahead, Lu Qing, Zhang Shun and Niu Huan resigned from the prefect's yamen

Back in Yongxin, the three of them met with Song Zhong, the magistrate of Yongxin County, Niu Decao, the master, and Wang Tiehan, the head catcher of the county, and told Zhao Guohua about it

Hearing this, the three of them were amazed one after another.

Master Niu said with a heartfelt heart: "I just said that this matter is not so simple, it turns out that this is the case. ”

"Fortunately, there is no bad move towards the chemical workshop, otherwise it will be troublesome, this Zhao Guohua has made such a great contribution, and it is not far from Feihuang Tengda, I have to hold this thigh well." The headcatcher Wang Tiehan thought to himself.

After a while of arguing in the county office, the three of them said goodbye.

Out of the county office, Lu Qing wanted to go back to Jinggangshan, and Zhang Shun and Niu Huan wanted to go back to Mingfeng Village, so everyone broke up.

In Macheng County, this afternoon, Zhao Guohua and Lao Huihui and other five people were watching the newly reorganized drill of the Zhongyong Corps, and the veteran team members were "resting, standing upright, turning left, and turning right...... A series of commands are being conducted under the command of a queue training. According to his training plan, he ran a 10-kilometer run in the morning, and after he came back from the run, he started to stand in a military posture after eating early, and in the afternoon he was training in a queue.

At first, Ge Liyan was still strange and watched with relish, but after watching it for a few days, he felt a little bored, so he asked: "Brother Zhao, your training method is so boring, standing all day long, turning, turning left, right, what's the use of this, can you defeat the enemy with these, I think it is better to let them practice assassination." ”

"Yes, Brother Zhao, where did you learn the training method? Does this work? Liu Xiyao, the king of the ruling world, also said suspiciously.

Turning his head to look at Lao Huihui and the others, Zhao Guohua said: "My loyal team is trained like this, if Brother Yilong doesn't believe in the effect of this method, you can select a thousand people from the 20,000 recruits to train according to your method, and after a month, the two sides will try to compare, and everyone will talk after seeing the effect, how about it?" ”

"Good! This is a very good method. Lao Huihui was the first to agree.

So Gary went to pick out the soldiers, and he picked out a thousand young and strong soldiers, and went to another place for training.

Half a month later, Zhang Shun Niu Huan and Lu Qing came back with a silver ticket of one million taels of silver raised, and brought back a few technicians from the chemical workshop.

"Staff Officer Lu, this method is good." Zhao Guohua praised with a smile.
