On June 11, Su Tiancheng received the emperor's holy decree.

Generally speaking, sending troops to the expedition is an edict issued by the Ministry of War, and all the armies of the Ming Dynasty are under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and few emperors have directly issued orders, but this time, the order to ask the Jiangning battalion to send troops is actually a holy decree.

The Jiangning battalion has long been prepared, after many years of fighting and years of training, all the soldiers have long been accustomed to the order of emergency assembly, and as long as the order is issued, they can make all the preparations within one day.

This time, Qu Qingze made up his mind, and when the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Shaanzhou were dispatched to Luoyang, Qu Qingze also followed the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion and went directly to Luoyang County, a distance of more than 300 miles, but in one day, the army rushed to the Jiangning battalion in Luoyang County.

Su Tiancheng did not ask Qu Qingze to leave, and acquiesced to Qu Qingze's actions with the army.

The affairs of the Henan Mansion and the government, Zhang Pu is already handy, there is no need to worry too much, Su Tiancheng also has a hunch, after the Jiangning battalion army attacks this time, it is very likely that he will leave Henan Mansion, or go to the capital, or go to Shaanxi, the Ming Dynasty can not always face the situation of fighting on both sides, and must use the fastest speed to exterminate the Liukou, and then go all out to deal with the Houjin Tartars, otherwise, he will always face the situation of fighting on both sides, and it is very likely to drag down the imperial court.

The development of history has long proved this point.

Xu Eryi, the right attendant of the military department, on behalf of the imperial court, came to announce the decree, and must have suffered a lot along the way, and the holy decree came down on June 8, but in three days, Xu Eryi came to Luoyang.

Shower and change clothes. After receiving the holy decree, Su Tiancheng suggested that Xu Eryi should rest in Luoyang for two days, adjust well, lead the Jiangning battalion army by himself, and set off immediately.

After Xu Eryi arrived at the barracks. Finding that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were ready to go, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and there were already people in the court who said that the Jiangning battalion might become Su Tiancheng's private soldiers, and it was necessary to strengthen discipline to avoid problems in the future, Xu Eryi mercilessly refuted this kind of view, in private. He was also a little worried, in case the imperial court was in danger and the Jiang Ning battalion did not obey the dispatch, wouldn't something big happen.

Everything he saw dispelled Xu Eryi's worries.

Long before leaving, Yang Sichang said with certainty that the imperial court coped with the crisis of Houjin's entry into the customs, and the ultimate hope was in Jiangning Ying. In other words, only the Jiangning battalion rushed to the capital. All problems can be solved. Moreover, Yang Sichang told Xu Eryi that the Jiangning camp must be ready, and when the holy decree arrives, it can set off.

The situation in the capital is critical, and Xu Eryi will certainly not rest in Luoyang.

Seeing Xu Eryi's insistence, Su Tiancheng didn't say anything. An order was given to all the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion to gather in the playground, and soon, all the officers in the house were gone. Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou were left behind.

"Lord Xu, the lower officials are about to give an order to the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, please ask Lord Xu to say a few words on behalf of the imperial court."

"Okay, no problem."

"Lord Hong, please read the decree."

Hong Chengchou nodded, the 30,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, including the 3,000 soldiers brought by He Renlong, a total of 33,000 soldiers, were all gathered in the playground, this is the first time.

On the playground, all the soldiers stood neatly, including the war horses, very quietly.

But in this quietness, there is a momentum, a momentum that soars into the sky, like a bow and arrow ready to fire, once it is launched, it will inevitably explode with earth-shattering impact.

Su Tiancheng, Hong Chengchou and Xu Eryi slowly walked onto the wooden platform.

Hong Chengchou and Xu Eryi both felt shocked, both of them saw such a formation for the first time, more than 33,000 people, silent, what kind of training is needed.

In particular, Hong Chengchou, who has led the troops for a long time, knows that there are 33,000 people, and it is by no means as simple as he says, such an army is terrifying, not to mention that there are 3,000 sergeants led by He Renlong, who have only been in the Jiangning camp for a few days, and have been affected, and they have also abided by the military regulations of the Jiangning camp.

"Please read the holy decree to the Hong Jian Army."

Su Tiancheng shouted loudly, and in an instant, 33,000 soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

"Greetings to the ...... of the Divine Decree"

Hong Chengchou felt his blood boiling, and couldn't help but speak loudly and read out the holy decree.

Xu Eryi looked at all this, his body trembled slightly, he fully believed that after the more than 30,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers arrived in Beijing, the Houjin Tartars would suffer a major blow, and in the face of such an invincible army, the days of Houjin Tartars' arrogance were about to pass.

After the decree was read, all the soldiers stood up, and the voice came very crisply, as if it was a person's action.

"Please Lord Qincha, Lord Xu, the right attendant of the military department, to give a lecture."

"Standing ......"

The sound of one after another sounded, it was very short, and all the soldiers quickly stood upright, this is the rule of the Jiangning camp, and when listening to the lecture, they must stand upright.

Su Tiancheng asked Xu Eryi to step forward to give a lecture, Xu Eryi's lips trembled, and for a long time, he used all his strength to shout a few words.

"The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, the emperor has high hopes for you, it is better to see than to hear, I have seen your demeanor today, I believe that after you arrive in Beijing, you will completely defeat the arrogant Houjin Tartars, I don't say much, I wish you a victorious start and a triumphant return......

It's Su Tiancheng's turn to speak, this is also the rule, Su Tiancheng is the last to speak every time, sometimes he says a few more words, sometimes he doesn't say anything, and asks the soldiers to set off directly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Tiancheng.

"Brothers, the holy decree is coming, we are about to set off, rush to the capital, to exterminate the Tartars, the Jiangning battalion has fought countless battles, each time it is a brilliant victory, the contribution of the brothers, cast the prestige of the Jiangning battalion, the achievement of the military soul of the Jiangning battalion, I want to thank the brothers."

"Houjin Emperor Taiji sent his younger brother Azig, led 100,000 Tartar elites, entered the customs from Xifengkou, and was wreaking havoc in my Ming Dynasty, the brothers knew that the Tartars were inhumane, burning, killing, raping, and doing all kinds of evil, as Ming soldiers, can we watch all this happen, no, we are soldiers, defend the country, and resist the invasion of foreign enemies, this is our natural duty."

"Azig is known as the first brave general of Houjin, I am very happy to hear such rumors, Jiangning Camp needs to prove itself, we are the strongest, let the strongest warrior of Houjin Tartar tremble in front of Jiangning Battalion."

"But I also want to remind my brothers that we despise the Houjin Tartars strategically, but tactically, we must attach great importance to the opponent, we must not despise the opponent, we must not be negligent, we must admit that under the current circumstances, the Houjin Tartars are the strongest opponent of the Jiangning battalion, and we will meet the most severe test."

"The last few words are emphasized, do not abandon and do not give up, this is the military regulations of the Jiangning battalion, more importantly, the cooperation between brothers is related to life and death, when the Jiangning battalion was just established, I said, all the brothers in the Jiangning battalion, breathe each other, itch and itch, go to the fire together, go to the soup together, raise a glass to make merit if you win, and kill to save each other if you lose, if you can't do this, you are not worthy of staying in the Jiangning camp."

"The sword is ruthless, the battle and the fight, there will always be sacrifices, many brothers in the Jiangning camp have done big things, they have started a family, or that sentence, no filial piety has three no queens, all family members who have not conceived children, or have not yet started a family, will be used as a reserve, can not be on the front line, to go to the front line to fight, you will work hard at home in the future."

At this point, there was a burst of laughter from the playground, and it was very quiet.

"Brothers, let's go and kill the enemy, go and destroy the Tartars......"

"Exterminate the Tartars and protect the Ming ......"

A deafening shout rang out, reaching into the sky.

The families near the barracks, as well as the people, have been waiting outside the barracks for a long time, and the people of Luoyang City also know that the Jiangning battalion is about to go on the march.

The Jiangning battalion was stationed in Henan Mansion, and the autumn did not commit any crimes, and he had already formed a deep relationship with the surrounding people.

The army marched out of the barracks.

Dense crowds of civilians stood outside the barracks.

Watching the sergeant silently walk out, the voices around him rang out.

"The Jiangning battalion is mighty, and it will be a great victory......"

"Brothers, kill the enemy as much as you want, come back early......"

"Jiangning Camp is invincible in the world......"

The slogans came and went, Xu Eryi watched all this silently, and there were too many things that he couldn't think of.

He had even seen that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion fought fiercely on the battlefield and the Tartars they killed were defeated.

Zhang Pu led the officials of Henan Prefecture and was already waiting on the side of the official road.

Behind him, there is a row of wine jars, which are candied wine.

Su Tiancheng picked up the wine bowl and spoke to Zhang Pu.

"Lord Zhang, the Jiangning battalion rushed to the capital to exterminate the Tartars, all the affairs of the government and the military camp, please leave it to you and your colleagues, at least one month or two months, at most half a year, the Jiangning battalion will definitely come back."

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will definitely do their best, and the lower officials wish the Jiangning camp an early victory."

After the army walked out of the five miles, the surroundings gradually quieted down.

Soon, Wang Dazhi came to Su Tiancheng's side.

"My lord, look at the hillside on the other side."

Su Tiancheng looked up and saw a girl in red standing on the opposite hillside.

Seeing this familiar figure, Su Tiancheng waved his hand, it was Gu Hengbo.

Knowing that Su Tiancheng was going to lead the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to rush to the capital to exterminate the Tartars, Gu Hengbo cried at home for a whole night, but she also knew that this time it was a direct decree from the emperor, Su Tiancheng had to go to the capital, and it was impossible for her to stop her, but when Su Tiancheng set off, her heart was also empty, and she couldn't help it, she came to the hillside in advance, in order to see her husband and send her husband on the expedition.

"My lord, would you like to go over and take a look?"

"Nonsense, the army has been launched, how can you have a long relationship with children."

After waving his hand, Su Tiancheng raised his horsewhip, and the horse let out a long roar and quickened its pace, leaving behind strings of dust. (To be continued......)
