Chapter 670 Every time you slaughter more dogs, it is common to repay the country with a hundred deaths
When he said that, Xie Hong was moved, in fact, there is a summary later, that is, the Zhengde Dynasty is the most suitable era for traversers. I am not suspicious, I am not greedy for power, I don't like to play with power, I am always interested in new things, and I am really happy to work for such an emperor.
If it was a few decades later, he would have met the mean and ungrateful Jiajing, and with the connivance of that person, or simply ignoring it, the political struggle in the Jiajing Dynasty was extremely fierce. It wasn't until Yan Song became dominant that this could be regarded as a little more stable, but under the torrent, there were still turbulent waves.
In that era, let alone the industrial revolution, it would be good for Xie Hong to save his life. He didn't dare to think about it, otherwise, the first person to stab him from behind must be Jiajing himself, don't look at him and can't control it, but he is still very disciplined in dealing with his own people.
Of course, he wouldn't say this kind of thing to Wang Shouren, and he could only say half of his feelings, but combined with what he saw and heard, his words caused a lot of waves in Wang Shouren's heart.
He has never seen the level of Zhengde's use of soldiers, and it is difficult to say, but to be able to train such an elite soldier in just one year, and to be able to win the full support of the soldiers, this charm and training level alone are already quite remarkable.
Moreover, what the emperor said is not unreasonable, let the Tartars take captivity, and retreat after being satisfied, even if you cover it with more fig leaf, you can't cover the stench inside. A country that can't even protect its people and land is embarrassed to call itself the Celestial Empire?
It's just that, looking at Zhengde, who was busy in a mess, Wang Shouren wanted to speak and stopped.
"Hou Cheng, the logistics will be handed over to you, a few days ago, some big carts were sent from Liaodong, and they were all brought with them, so I asked Ma Yongcheng for food, and asked him to prepare it for me quickly; Weapons and equipment go to the Ordnance Department and find Mr. Dong; Map the roster to find General Wen, he has traveled a lot, let him make the sand table as soon as possible. ”
"Whoa."
"You can prepare within three days, is there any problem?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, mark and swear to complete the task." Hou Cheng replied loudly. Speaking of urgency, he is also very anxious, as the first batch of guards, he is also a disciple of Xuanfu, although there is no definite news, but he knows that his father is probably already very lucky, because his father's archery skills are very good, and he must be one of the elite.
For him, the battle of killing captives is both a national hatred and a family hatred!
"Dingyuan, the routine training in the past two days can't be stopped, but the amount can be halved, and you don't have to supervise too much." After announcing the target of the enemy, Zhengde began to give orders, and the order was concise and to the point, in order to set off as soon as possible and directly attack the Tartars of Xuanfu.
"Well, I see." The big black man replied innocently, he has always played the role of a bodyguard and guard, when Zhengde is not available, he is also responsible for training, he is honest, but not stupid, and he is even more straightforward in carrying out orders, without any discount, he is a good candidate for training.
"The rest of the people," after explaining to the two lieutenant generals, Zhengde raised his voice again: "If your home is in the capital, you can go home and have a look, and say goodbye; If you don't have time to go home, let someone bring a letter; If there is anyone who is greedy for life and afraid of death, you can leave as soon as possible, and I will not be held accountable......"
"For the wings of the king, he will not give up in a hundred battles, the Son of Heaven will guard, and he will regard death as home!"
"Very good, that's all for today, disband." Zhengde nodded with satisfaction.
"Kill!" After a murderous shout, the guards retreated.
It can be counted as a gap, Wang Shouren rushed forward and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it will take some time for the guards to go to war, and Weichen is willing to lead a light cavalry as the vanguard, open the way for the army, and spy on the Tartars." ”
"It's too dangerous, Mr. Wang should stay in the capital and help me take care of the house, it's also very important here." Zhengde frowned and rejected Wang Shouren's proposal.
"Uh......" Wang Shouren froze slightly, looking at Zhengde's proud appearance, he thought that the other party didn't take into account the problem of the back road at all, who knew that Zhengde came up with such a sentence at this time, so that he couldn't deal with it for a while.
"There is no war in the capital, it is enough to have the history of Tang Yu, not to mention that after the champion Hou hears the news, he will presumably return at the same time, with the addition of Qian Commander's cavalry, the capital should be fine, or the war on the front line is more important. Since he was a child, he has been reading military books and war strategies, and he has some strategies for himself, and he is just serving His Majesty on the front line. ”
Wang Shouren also said these words hard, understanding the art of war and actual combat are two different things, facing the enemy in Xuanfu, the enemy is outnumbered, and the mobility can only be stunned, as if there is no room for strategy, and he himself is not sure how much role he plays.
But if he doesn't go, he can't rest assured, in case he ...... As soon as he thought of the unthinkable eventuality, the cold sweat on his back was also trickling down, and seeing that he couldn't stop it, he said that he would snatch this task of hitting the front station.
"Even if I agree, there are no more soldiers now."
Zhengde spread his hands and said that he was very helpless, "The Guards do not have cavalry, but the army always has cavalry to act as scouts and cover when traveling, so I also have to take the cavalry of the 3,000 battalions." Ti rode out of Beijing, and the guards and the 3,000 battalions were gone, so there had to be some people left to guard the capital, right? Therefore, the forbidden army cannot move. ”
"Then ...... from Thistle"
"How slow is it to transfer troops from Jizhen, when they arrive, I have already passed the Juyong Pass, it's too late, otherwise it's okay, Mr. Wang will wait in the capital first, and wait for the soldiers and horses of Jizhen and Qian Ning's cavalry to come back, and you can follow up again, just to help me transport supplies, so it's okay, right?" Alas, it's not that I said you, Mr. Wang, you are such an adult, so don't be too surnamed. ”
"...... minister" saw that the Ming commander who scolded Fang Xuan was gone, Zhengde changed back to that hippie smiling face, and Wang Shouren also wanted to cry without tears. He originally wanted to analyze the stakes, but found that the other party was like a mirror in his heart, and he didn't need to say it at all, it was a clear mess, who was the surname, and he wouldn't die in a few days...... "In short, Mr. Wang, you can rest assured." Patting Wang Shouren on the shoulder, Zhengde said triumphantly: "Do you know, last time in Tianjin, the eldest brother said that I am the first general of the Ming Dynasty, since I am the first general, it is naturally invincible, so you don't need to worry about anything, I will return triumphantly soon." ”
Nima, Xie Hong, you can't shoot like this, you call it killing! Wang Shouren had already scolded in his heart, and his impression of Xie Hong immediately turned sharply, and the quasi-saints were all scolded, which shows how angry he was.
But how did he know that this was just a truth that Xie Hong had felt after losing the war game?
…… Boss Bao went to Yingkou, and the proprietress was pregnant again, so the Fushou Building on the West Street of the Imperial City was closed for a while. Although the neighbors all know that the proprietress gave birth to a big fat boy before, by the beginning of September, it was only a little more than a month, and the proprietress naturally couldn't get out of bed, and the reopening of the restaurant was naturally far away, which made the regular customers deeply regretful.
Boss Bao brought a message to Yingkou to describe the grand occasion there, followed by the latest milk powder, so the proprietress was also in a good mood, and she didn't care too much about the sharp decline in the restaurant's income caused by the delay in business. Compared with the dairy factory in Liaodong, what is this small business of the restaurant?
It's just that on this day, she suddenly felt a little frightened, and she didn't know if it was because of the fast horses that whistled by before, or the bells that rang in the Forbidden City. The proprietress didn't know what it meant, but she always felt a little unlucky, and she was even a little worried that the two sons in the barracks were coming, not why, just the simple concern of motherhood.
"Mother!" I don't know if it's the mother and son are connected, and when they are worried, the door was gently pushed open, and then, with a chorion, the two sons walked in with a smile on their faces.
"Dehui, Deli, why did you come back? It's not a rotation today, right? The proprietress sat up in surprise, and without waiting for her sons to answer, she scolded with a smile: "The confinement has already been completed, and my mother is not afraid of the wind, who are you putting on like this?" ”
The son of the merchant family naturally does not have an elegant name, and after joining the army, the Bao brothers also intended to change it to a decent one, but before they had time to discuss it with their father, their father went to Liaodong, so they could only make do with it.
The eldest Dehui touched the back of his head and said with a simple smile: "Even if you are not afraid of your mother's wind, don't you have to wake up your brother?" ”
"Yes, mother, my father is in Liaodong, my brother and I are not by your side, your body still needs to be careful, and my brother is also ......" The second child's voice was a little low, and he didn't have the heartiness of the past, and he seemed to be chattering.
"Deli, you ...... this"
The proprietress quickly noticed the abnormality, the expression of the second son seemed so reluctant, although the eldest son smiled no different from usual, but his expression also looked a little gloomy. Somehow, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and before she had time to think about it, she blurted out: "Isn't it going to go on an expedition?" ”
"Mother, how do you know?"
"No......"
The reactions of the two sons were completely different, but at the same time they verified the guess in Aunt Bao's heart, and her voice trembled a little: "Where are you going?" Is there a rebellion somewhere? Or is it the same as Ti Qi, to suppress bandits and eliminate bullies? Or go ......" The two words are on the lips, but they seem extremely heavy, compared to the first two situations, the latter is too dangerous.
"It's going to plug it up." The eldest did not respond to the hinting eyes of his younger brother, this kind of thing can be concealed for a day, it can't be concealed for a month, the emperor is about to conquer, and the news will soon spread all over the capital, rather than listening to the rumors told by others, it is better to let the mother get tangible news from herself.
"Xuanfu's border army was defeated...... The emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, we are the guards of the Son of Heaven, of course, we must protect the holy car and kill the Tartars! ”
The news was shocking, far beyond the worst that Aunt Bao could imagine, with a group of young sergeants going to face the Tartars who had just defeated the same number of border troops, no matter how you look at it, this behavior is like going to die. With such a comparison of strength, even if he wins, I am afraid it can only be a miserable victory, and only God can know whether his son can survive or not.
Endless exhaustion came up all of a sudden, as if going back in time, back to more than a month ago, the weakest period after giving birth, if it wasn't for the second son to grab and hold on, Aunt Bao almost fell directly. For the horror of war, the people have a deeper understanding than the scholars and doctors in the court.
"Mother, it's not as dangerous as the eldest brother said, we are the guards of the Son of Heaven, besides, the Xuanfu is not without soldiers, and the Tartars are not far from Datong, it is estimated that the reinforcements from Datong will also come at that time, and the strength of the three sides will be stronger than the Tartars. Tartars have always bullied the soft and afraid of the hard, maybe they will run away when they are afraid, haha. ”
Bao Deli glared at the eldest brother with disgust, and tried his best to comfort his mother, saying that he would definitely say it, but he had to take a detour, what was the matter with saying it directly? Do you want to scare your mother to death?
"Well, well, Deli is right, Deli is right." The boss of the Bao family also realized the problem, this kind of thing still has to be handed over to the second child, and his tongue is too stupid.
However, the emperor also said that as long as the soldiers can hold the knife, if it is the turn of the soldiers to carry out the persuasion work, then the army is almost finished.
In fact, Aunt Bao didn't hear the words of the two sons, to be precise, she should have heard it with her ears, but she didn't react to her mind, after hearing the bad news, her spirit began to be in a trance, and countless memory fragments flickered in her mind, so that she couldn't spare a trace of energy to pay attention to the things around her.
From pulling the children to grow up with hard work, to their own efforts to survive in the capital, opening a shop was blackmailed by the officials, and setting up a stall was driven away by the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, although it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Bao family never felt any heavenly grace, and it was called a hardship.
Finally, my own man has a little brain, and he saves his own money, so he saves some silver, and sees that his sons have become people, so he has some hope.
You know, the past two years have been getting better and better, especially this year...... By the way, how did you get better? That's right, the biggest change was in that frightening late night more than two years ago! Thinking of this, her originally sloppy gaze suddenly condensed, and she also had strength in her waist and legs.
"Boss, second son."
She suddenly broke free from her son's support, and said: "Don't worry about me, go to Saishang, you must work hard to kill the enemy and defend the emperor!" The people of Xuanfu are also the same people as us, it was they who sent their children to help the emperor, so that there is today's capital, only then do we have our good sons, and now it is time for our people in the capital to repay. ”
"Mother?" This change was a bit sudden, and the Bao brothers were stunned.
"Your father is not here, if he is here, he will definitely say so, since he has joined the army and become the emperor's guard, then he must try his best to kill the enemy and defend the Son of Heaven, this is the right reason, even if his life is not there, he must protect the emperor, do you know?" Speaking of the back, Aunt Bao was a little violent.
"Got it, mother!" was already encouraged by Zhengde's enthusiasm, and at this time, listening to his mother's words, the Bao brothers were even more excited, and both of them clenched their fists tightly, as if they were holding a spear with a knife handle, and they were fighting with Hu Lu.
It's good to have a mother who understands righteousness.
