Since Shunyi is in the northeast of Beijing, this suburban welcoming ceremony is naturally held in Nancheng.

Originally, under Emperor Chongzhen, the first minister was Wen Tiren, but since Zhou Yanru was the "master" of tension, Wen Tiren had to be humble and let Zhou Yanru preside over it.

Zhou Yanru and a group of officials were stretching their necks on the pre-built platform at the south gate to stare at the Tuanshan army, but the people who went a little farther out of the city saw the Tuanshan army first.

However, the first thing that caught my eye was a team of ragged and listless, thin and old horses, incomplete weapons, and even the flags raised were shabby and gray, and there was no trace of "Lord Zhang", who had been verbally admired by everyone for a long time......

"What's going on? Long live Yeba, who has looked at the master of King Qin for so long, looks like a group of beggars! ”

Not only the people, but even the officials who came to the "suburbs" wondered in their hearts, and Zhou Yanru, who presided over the meeting, was even more unbearable on his face.

What kind of routine does this tension play? I've been an official for so long, don't you even know how to write a superficial article? Long live the Lord is counting on him to relieve the siege of Shunyi, why did he bring a group of beggars? Why don't you let the sergeants who are going to show up eat two full meals and change to a decent outfit!

Just when everyone was looking at each other, the tension in the carriage was talking to Gao Yuanliang lightly.

Gao Yuanliang sat up straight, obviously feeling uneasy about being able to ride in the same car with Zhang Li. Lord Zhang has changed too much in the past year or so, not to mention the life and death power of the Tuanshan Army, and now it seems that the national fortunes of the entire Ming Dynasty are tied to him.

With Gao Yuanliang's insight. The army of the Ming Dynasty is not enough to fight, and now Jiannu cannot destroy the Ming Dynasty. It is also because the territory of the Ming Dynasty is too wide, and it will not find a way to eat it in one bite for a while.

Gao Yuanliang wanted to get it. Of course, Zhang Li could think of it, so he was in a hurry. Because, soon Huang Taiji will find a solution to the problem.

The Jurchens killed only 100,000 soldiers in battle, and they ran out of several cities to defend them, so how could they change the dynasty?

This is the only magic weapon that Huang Taiji promoted "using Han to control Han" -- just like Wang Jingwei and the Imperial Association Army in later generations, if the aggressor wants to swallow the big with the small, he must rely on the traitors.

Not to mention the Hereafter. It was the Korean War with Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Japan in Wanli Year, which was actually due to the division of troops by the Japanese army. The Japanese army that attacked Korea was 200,000, which seemed like a lot, and the war was won at the beginning. However, the farther north they farthered, and when they reached the vicinity of Pyongyang, the Japanese army was already short of mobile forces.

At that time, Li Chengliang's son Li Rusong led tens of thousands of Ming troops, and he could beat the Japanese army all over the ground to find teeth, which was really taking advantage of the advantage of local troops.

The key to this is that the Ming army that aided Korea did not need to divide troops to defend the city, and the defense of the city was naturally completed by the Korean native army.

So. Now there is not much time left for the national football team - uh, no, there is not much time left for the Tuanshan Army, which must be transfused through the state apparatus of the Ming Dynasty. Rather than a slow expansion of territory one city and one pool.

After all, the base chosen by Li Li is Liaodong, where every inch of land needs to be obtained!

Zhang Zhang smiled and looked at Gao Yuanliang. said lightly: "Crying children have milk to eat, this truth." Ancient and modern explanations are generally the same. ”

Gao Yuanliang nodded and said, "My lord." Our first 3,000 soldiers have all gone through some arrangement, is the purpose to ask the court for money and food? ”

Zhang Li bowed slightly, and a ray of essence flashed in his eyes: "The imperial court wants to let the Tuanshan army run to Shunyi to die with an order, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhang said coldly: "If the princes of Gon don't have some blood, I can only take the Tuan Shan Army to raise money for them!" ”

Gao Yuanliang was taken aback, Lord Zhang is going to tear his face with those corrupt officials in the court? This, although it is relieving, I'm afraid it's not easy to clean up......

Zhang Li took in the doubts on Gao Yuanliang's face, and probably knew what he was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Yuanliang, these people in the court can't be treated one by one, they must pay attention to some strategies." ”

Soon Zhang Li's face turned cold, and he continued: "Lu Xiangsheng is just because he doesn't know how to be flexible, so he was eaten and wiped clean......"

"The last general has been taught-" Gao Yuanliang replied in a low voice, with admiration in his eyes.

The convoy finally approached the gate of the southern city of Jingshi, and Zhou Yanru had already guessed the intention of tension, so he was not as surprised as others, but put on a sincere and humble face, and looked like a "corporal Lixian". When Zhang Li's convoy appeared in his sight, he immediately gestured to his entourage to give orders. Immediately afterwards, a string of firecrackers crackled and firecrackled, and military music such as horns, gongs and drums began to resound in the sky......

Zhang Li's cart stopped a few feet away from the city gate, and in order to show respect, Zhang Zhang got out of the car and walked. So, amid the noise of firecrackers and military music, the people watched a majestic but smiling figure walk out of the car!

"Heroism as expected!" The onlookers suddenly let out a burst of admiration!

"It's time, everyone will return to the city, and only the people from the court will be left here to greet Lord Zhang!" Suddenly, a group of brocade-clothed guards shouted at the top of their voices, and soon repeated it again with their leather whips.

The people wanted to watch it for a while, but unfortunately it was already past the time - the Jingshi is now under martial law, and the people are not allowed to go out to the streets in the future.

Soon the common people walked towards the city in groups, and Zhang Zhang also came to Zhou Yanru's side. Zhou Yanru greeted Zhang Zhang cordially: "Lord Zhang rushed to Beijing in the dust, this heart of public loyalty to the country makes this official admire!" The children can be taught, and the children can be taught! Long live the Lord for many days, looking left and right, today I can finally be relieved! ”

Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, and after a few thoughtful courtesies, he said a few perfunctory words on the table.

Although Zhou Yanru didn't smile, he didn't dare not tell Zhang Zhang the actual situation:

"Long live the Lord was going to greet him in person, but the dragon body was not safe, and after all the adults persuaded him hard, he changed it to early tomorrow morning, and personally summoned him in Zuo'anmen...... Tonight, the right to set up a banquet in this pavilion to wash the dust for Lord Zhang! ”

Zhou Yanru is well versed in the way of being an official, and now he is not trusted, calling Zhang Li "Lord Zhang", which shows his loyalty to the country. If you call Zhang Zhang a student now, wouldn't it be suspected of forming a party?

Zhou Yanru then took the trouble to tell Zhang Lichen the other predetermined details, and a large open space outside the city had been prepared for the Tuanshan army to camp and rest......

Zhang Li frowned, and said lightly: "Won't the emperor let my army enter the city?" (To be continued.) )
