―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

"Tell your lord, the cavalry of the fourth, sixth, and seventh guards and the foot soldiers of the tenth guard are ready to set off at any time."

"Tell your lord, all vehicles, horses, ships, ammunition, guns, and artillery are ready and ready to use."

"Tell my lord, the training of recruits has been very effective, especially those soldiers on the ground in Hulin, their combat power has risen extremely fast, and they are not far from the regular Wu Yi soldiers, and they can be transferred at any time."

In the flower hall of the General's Mansion, Xiong Tingbi, Wang Dachun, and Xie Deqing reported in turn.

Lian Zining nodded, everything was ready, and he could set off when Nurhachi returned.

"Count the days, it's time to come back now." Lian Zining subconsciously looked at the door, and saw Shi Dazhu's majestic figure turning in from the door, his face was faintly excited, and he hugged his fists and said, "My lord, Nurhachi is back and is resting in the living room." ”

"Good!" Lian Zining got up: "Just let him go to the conference room, go, let's go too." ”

In the conference room of the General's Mansion, the senior generals of more than 1,000 households of Wu Yijun are already here, and the stars are shining brightly.

They each sat upright in their former seats, and as far as the eye could see, the entire conference room was almost full, except for the top few empty seats.

The officers gathered together and whispered and talked quietly, buzzing and noisy, and in the past, when there was a meeting, they would also talk to each other, but today the voice is extraordinarily loud. It seems to be extraordinarily excited.

"Did you hear that? It's time to do it!" A thousand households whispered.

"Hands-on? To whom? A colleague next to him asked.

"Isn't that nonsense? Who could there be? The thousand households pouted disdainfully. Pointing to the north: "Of course it's over there, I've heard about it, let's have a meeting today, just to announce it, go out!"

"Pull your balls!" Another Qianhu said disdainfully: "How can you fight it?" We're surrounded by those dogs and Tartars outside the city, but I've heard that this time there's going to be a war! Let's have a big one! Kill those dog tartars out there!"

"Yes, what Lao Zhang said is reasonable. I've heard about it too. One next to him chimed in: "We are all from Shandong, do you know?" Seeing that the corn is about to ripen, I won't drive these dog tartars out again. The millions of acres of corn outside are cheaper for them. When I think about it, my heart hurts. ”

The conference room was buzzing and noisy, and everyone had different opinions. In a place like the National Dynasty, no matter how secret a plan is. Some clues can't be concealed -- what are you doing if you have to prepare food and grass, and the troops are waiting for you? If these veteran officers can't guess anything, it's really in vain.

However, although they all guessed that there was going to be a big move above, some of them were very different, and some of them were wrong.

And those officers who really knew were silent and rarely spoke.

Li Tie sat in his seat, looking at his nose and nose, and was silent.

Since he served as the counselor of MI6, he has certainly risen to the sky and his power has risen greatly. However, due to the peculiarities of their work, it is impossible for the leaders of such spy units, who are similar to Jinyiwei, to maintain good relations with the top of other departments - no one likes people who stare at them every day. Therefore, he is a little alienated from the old brothers in the past, and he is also consciously becoming separated from them, so as not to be suspicious of Lian Zining.

As a result, there are very few people around him.

Xia Zikai and Li Tie's expressions were just a little red, if you look closely, you will find that his fingers are even trembling, and his lips are moving slightly. Say something.

As he spoke, Nurhachi and Shi Dazhu strode into the conference room together, Nurhachi came to his place and sat down, while Shi Dazhu walked to the highest main seat and stood still.

…,

The buzz in the conference room was much quieter when Nurhachi and the two entered.

The eyes of all the generals fell on Nurhachi.

There was an exhaustion on his face that could not be concealed, and his face was full of wind and frost. Even a small cracked bloody mouth appeared on his face, and his expression. But it was exciting. Everyone is well-informed, and naturally they all know that his Lian Zining's love will disappear for a long time, and they are all guessing where he has gone.

And now that Nurhachi has returned, they have all realized that the time has come for the answer to be revealed.

When Lian Zining came in surrounded by Xie Deqing and others, the conference room instantly quieted down, and everyone stood up in unison, holding their heads high, their bodies as straight as javelins, and shouted in unison: "I've seen adults!"

"Hmm!"

Lian Zining hummed and walked to the main seat, but instead of letting everyone sit down as usual, but, pursing his mouth, he slowly glanced at everyone's faces.

Feeling the boss's scrutinizing gaze, everyone's bodies were straighter, and their faces were full of perseverance, Lian Zining looked at it slowly and nodded with satisfaction.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Everyone, remember this day, I am the sixth day of the eighth month of the fifty-second year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, I must remember this day, and when you are old in the future, you can proudly say to your children and grandchildren, just today, I, General Songhuajiang and Wu Yibo Lian Zining, will take you to the north and counterattack the Jurchen!" ended the humiliation of my Ming Dynasty in the north for 30 years! From this day on, we, the Wu Yi Army, will also show our fangs to the Jurchens who have bullied us for so long!"

Lian Zining pursed his lips, knocked on the table heavily, and said word by word: "Remember this day!"

Lian Zining is a master of incendiary people's hearts, he detonated the emotions of the generals with one sentence, and this remark also completely explained the doubts in everyone's hearts.

It turns out that the uncle is really going to make a big move, counterattacking the Jurchen?

Oh, my God!

Just thinking about it already makes everyone feel excited. The blood is boiling. Some of the generals with violent temperaments were already short of breath, their eyes were red, and they were staring at Lian Zining eagerly, hoping that they would be lucky enough to be on the list when the uncle announced the list of the Northern Expedition.

Since the rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, the three surnamed Jurchen have not stopped sucking blood on the Ming Dynasty, constantly invading, treating the Han people as dogs, wantonly humiliating, killing and enslaving. Since the formation of the Wu Yi Army, there have been two major battles with the Jurchens, especially the battle of Xishenwei last year, with extremely heavy casualties. Many of you here have died in battle!

Whether it is a national feud or a family feud, they all have reasons to take revenge on the Jurchens.

As for whether this decision is reasonable and whether it will be very difficult, no one thinks about this issue.

Decisions made by adults. Can it be wrong? Are you kidding?

As long as we follow the uncle, can we still win the battle?

"The military heart is available!" Lian Zining smiled faintly: "Very good, I'm very pleased, at least you didn't disappoint me, you are all good soldiers brought out by me Lian Zining, good brothers!"

"It has been two years since the creation of the Chenzi Institute, then to the Jingnan Battalion Army, and then to the continuous development and growth of the Wuyi Army! Two years. We have fought in white robes, conquered Fusang, and fought with female real faces! Our Wuyi army can fight deadly, the court knows, the armies know, the officials know, the subjects and people of the world also know, we know it ourselves, I have heard it, and many people in the army have already shouted out. Our Wu Yi Army is the strongest army in the world! I am glad that our brothers can have such a heart! But!"

Lian Zining's words changed: "But I want to tell you, these things." You have to forget it all, forget it all! Because this time. The opponents we are facing are even stronger, the soldiers who want to go with me, what you have to face are the Jurchens, yes, all the elite of the Haixi Jurchens are here, but behind the Haixi Jurchens, between the white mountains and black waters, there are more powerful and more elite Jianzhou Jurchens! These are the guards of those Tartar khans! And the soldiers who want to stay behind to defend the city, you have to face hundreds of thousands of Jurchen and Mongol allied troops, and the responsibility is heavy, and you must also shoulder it!"

…,

The enthusiastic emotions of the crowd not only did not cool down because of these words, but became even hotter, and their hearts were hot and hot, and their hearts were high.

"Announce the order below!" Lian Zining said in a deep voice: "This time, this official personally led the troops to the battle, and followed the army, the fourth guard, the sixth guard, and the seventh guard!" And, the Tenth Guard!"

"What? Tenth Guard? There was a commotion below.

Everyone can understand the first three guards, after all, they are all cavalry, and they are a strong army that can be counted, and their combat effectiveness is very high, so it is perfect to go out with the army. But this tenth guard? What kind of thing is Nima? A miscellaneous brand composed of a group of Jurchen old and weak women and children is also worthy of accompanying the army? Phew!

Many people are dissatisfied in their hearts, and some are scheming, but they have thoughts in their hearts.

They all remembered the composition of the tenth guard, the structure is huge, the number is large, and the combat effectiveness is poor, this northern expedition is not as good as defending the battle, it is impossible to say that there must be some hard battles to fight in siege, and it is naturally not cost-effective to fight these hard battles with many dead people, but it is really suitable to use these Jurchens to fight.

"All the baggage that individual soldiers need to carry has been distributed to your respective troops. In addition, Wang Dachun led the logistics battalion with the army, and Shi Dazhu led the pro-military battalion with the army, but the artillery was left by thousands of households. Except for some necessary artillery, I'll leave you with the rest! All the troops were ready to return and assemble at the east gate an hour later. ”

"Yes, sir!" The four guards who were named and Qianhu stood up and answered in a loud voice. Their eyes frequently swept over the guards who remained behind, and they were a little arrogant.

"Set up Wu Yijun to stay in the position, which is on the commanders, and Xiong Tingbi is responsible for it, during my absence, all decisions depend on Xiong Tingbi! Did you hear it all? ”

"Hear me clearly!" The generals said in unison.

Xiong Tingbi glanced at Lian Zining deeply, and without words, he had already explained something.

"All of them!" Lian Zining shouted.

"Yes!" The crowd drank in unison.

"Wu Yijun!" Lian Zining slowly spit out two words: "Wan Sheng!"

"Wu Yijun, Wan Sheng!" The generals shouted in unison and almost lifted the roof.

After the meeting, everyone was busy, and the people who stayed behind naturally arranged the defense, went to the city wall to inspect the garrison, and tried not to make a mistake. Those who want to go out on the expedition will return to the barracks, lead their soldiers, and assemble at the east gate on time with the war horses, food, grass, guns, bullets, etc. that have already been sent down by the logistics department.

In the back house of the General's Mansion, the kitchen had already prepared a meal, and after Lian Zining came back from the front garden, he had eaten, and then he was served by Amber to get dressed.

"That's it!" Amber put on his boots for Lian Zining, got up and straightened his pocket again, clapped his hands, took a few steps back, and said with a smile: "The master is so good-looking!"

Nona, who was on the side, also nodded his head again and again, and expressed his approval.

Lian Zining in the bronze mirror, dressed in rotten silver plate armor, heroic and upright, standing like a javelin, elegant and handsome with indescribable toughness, but worthy of these two words.

Lian Zining turned around and shook Amber's hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm going." ”

Amber nodded vigorously, with a smile on her face: "The concubine is here waiting for the master's triumphant return!"

"Alright, let's go!" Lian Zining really had nothing to say about this girl who was empathetic and had been with her for so long, she just shook her hand vigorously and stared at her deeply for a while. There is no need to say anything between husband and wife, everything is clear to heart.

"Ye Na, take good care of the master, eat and use carefully, and take care of it." Amber was a little uneasy, and told Nona.

Ye Na smiled sweetly: "Madam, don't worry!"

Lian Zining suddenly felt a little sour on the tip of his nose, he didn't speak anymore, waved his hand, turned around and strode out.

Nona also hurriedly followed, and when he was about to go out, he didn't forget to turn back and smile at Amber.

…,

Amber walked to the door in three steps and two steps, looking at Lian Zining's back as he strode away, holding on to the door frame, and finally couldn't help it, tears poured down.

In the southeast corner of Zhenyuan Mansion, there is a special existence here.

This is a continuous residential area, with a vast area, and the layout is similar to that of an ordinary military barracks, and it is also a large courtyard encircled, with rows of regular houses in it, but it is three or four times larger than the other military barracks. Although it is large, it is large and inadequate, it is very dilapidated inside, and the quality of the house is obviously a little poor, and it is also thin, unlike all the facilities in other barracks, and it seems that there is nothing else in it except the house and the canteen and bathhouse.

Moreover, on the wall of the courtyard, there are many soldiers with bows and arrows, patrolling back and forth, vigilantly staring at every move in the courtyard, with a wary face.

It's not like a barracks, it's like a big prison.

In fact, this is indeed a military camp, but the inhabitants inside are a little special - they are the residence of the tenth guard of the Wuyi Army, those Jurchens.

And at this moment, the place was full of people, shouting and scolding, mixed with cries, and there were more than enough figures everywhere.

The 10th Guard garrison commands the embassy, in the main hall.

In the center of the main hall, on top of an offering table, there is a spiritual table, and nothing else.

On the futon in front of the spiritual seat, Xia Zikai knelt on it, his lips moved, and he said something slightly.

"My lord, Wu Yibo is about to lead the army to the battle, just recently, the target is the three surnamed Jurchen! With Wu Yijun to clean them up, those Jurchens who killed a thousand knives this time are going to be unlucky! If my husband is fortunate this time, he can also go on the expedition with the adults, okay! Weifu joined the Wu Yi Army, waiting for this day! You watch, wait, this time, for the husband, to use the blood of the Jurchens, in exchange for more Jurchen blood, madam, I will definitely avenge you, you have a spirit in the sky, and you must bless the husband. By the way, my cousin's whereabouts, I have already been investigated, and when I come back from the expedition, I will take her and take good care of her. You can rest assured......"

There was a sound of broken footsteps behind him, and a personal soldier walked to the door and whispered, "My lord, the troops have been assembled." Just waiting for departure. ”

"Madam, see me avenge you!"

Xia Zikai said firmly, Huo Ran got up, and strode out with his helmet in his arms.
