On the issue of going to Beijing to report on work, Deng Haonan thought about it for a long time.

With Deng Haonan's feelings. He knew that once he saw Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian, with the minds of the two of them, he would definitely be able to guess that Deng Haonan must be Li Xiaoqi. Of course, as long as Deng Haonan doesn't admit it, they can't do anything about him

The issue of identity is no longer important, what Haonan is worried about is Zhu Youxiao's fanfare edict Deng Haonan to enter Beijing and give a big reward, which must be especially ulterior purposes.

What is the purpose? Na Haonan knew very well in his heart that Zhu Youxiao deliberately caused Deng Haonan to be wooed to take Deng Haonan as his person, which would give Wei Zhongxian an illusion and make Wei Zhongxian jealous of Deng Haonan. Once the matter is complicated, even if Na Haonan doesn't want to provoke Wei Zhongxian, then Wei Zhongxian will take the initiative to provoke Na Haonan.

If that Haonan and Wei Zhongxian are dead. Then Zhu Youxiao's purpose has been achieved.

It has been almost a year since he went to Beijing to report on his work. Deng Haonan knew that he couldn't take it off, so he convened his generals to discuss countermeasures.

As a result, the big guy knew that Na Haonan had to go to Beijing to report on his work anyway, so the original plan to enter King Qin in Beijing was put back on the agenda. The reason is very simple, the strength of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion has skyrocketed recently, so the big guy is full of confidence. In their eyes. Even if Wei Zhongxian controlled the 200,000 forbidden army, he was no match for the Liaodong army.

Huang Zupei said: "The imperial court has not yet reappointed the trilateral governor, so the marquis is still the nominal trilateral governor, and it is understandable to lead troops in the past."

Na Haonan nodded, he had to lead troops into Beijing. Because he couldn't be sure that Wei Zhongxian's pervert would suddenly attack him, he had to guard against others.

Lin Feng asked, "How many troops is appropriate?" If there are too many, I think the imperial court will impeach the Metropolitan Governor for plotting against him."

Na Haonan said: "There is no need for much, the matter of King Qin can only be used until the end, and it is best not to use soldiers!" After all, once you start in the capital, the impact is not good! Beijing has 200,000 forbidden troops, and it will be enough to deter them."

Wang Zhaoyang then said: "200,000 forbidden troops, 80,000 Mabu troops, stationed near the Fengtai camp in the south of the suburbs of Beijing and the Shenwu Zhongwei in the east, the defense of the capital is the Shenji battalion, the strength is 60,000, all using firearms. The remaining 60,000 or so forbidden troops were distributed in various guards in Shuntianfu Yingzhou, mainly guarding the inner side of the Great Wall

Lin Feng said: "It seems that the 200,000 forbidden troops are just scary, but in fact, the distribution is relatively scattered, and only 140,000 people can rush to the aid of the capital

Huang Zupei said with a smile: "If you include empty salaries and shortages, there are only 70,000 people in the 140,000 people at most. Maybe less!

Na Haonan nodded and turned to Liu Hu. The latter then said: "I think 30,000 horses are enough!" 10,000 black-armored elite cavalry, 10,000 marine divisions, and 10,000 cavalry artillery, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended. In the name of westward expansion to suppress bandits, Hou Ye stationed a large army outside the city. Hou Ye only needs to take the guard reinforcement battalion into Beijing

Lin Feng said: "Once there is an emergency, Hou Ye's guard battalion can rely on the Hou Mansion to hold on, and it only needs to hold on for a few hours, and the army outside the city can break the city and rescue."

"That's when you have to use it as a last resort!" Deng Haonan said: "Fighting with Wei Zhongxian always outweighs the loss, it is best to maintain a balance with him, and let the emperor solve the headache himself!" ”

Huang Zupei smiled. He has understood Deng Haonan's bottom line. As long as Wei Zhongxian didn't take the initiative to provoke Na Haonan, Na Haonan would not tear his face with him. So he smiled: "Balance is the best, every emperor likes to play balance." However, the saint did not play well today, and did not grasp the balance between Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party to lead the eunuch party to sit big today. If Hou Ye can replace the Donglin Party. If you form a delicate balance with Wei Zhongxian from the beginning, then this dead button will be untied. ”

Na Haonan nodded at Huang Zupei with great appreciation, and said with a smile: "That's the best!" We don't have to offend the emperor, and we don't have to turn against Wei Zhongxian, after the debriefing, we will slip away and let them die on their own."

To harm others, you must benefit yourself, otherwise you will be a fool. Na Haonan is convinced of this and never does anything to break the cost.

Since Na Haonan knew that Zhu Youxiao still had a few months to live, he didn't want to help Zhu Youxiao, a young dying person, at this time and not get any benefits. At the same time, die with Wei Zhongxian, knock. The loss is oneself, not counted. But Deng Haonan's subordinates didn't know that Zhu Youxiao was about to hang up, so they talked about this matter with relish. That Hao Nan can't tell them the truth directly, it will be too sensational and will scare them.

The matter was finalized, and Na Haonan set off on an auspicious day.

Before leaving, Deng Haonan wrote to the imperial court, informing the imperial court that he was going to Beijing to report on his work, and at the same time led 30,000 Liaodong troops to serve as the governor of the three sides to suppress bandits and pacify them.

※※

As soon as the official document arrived in Beijing, it immediately caused an uproar in the imperial court. The ministers went to Zhu Youxiao one after another, asking to deny Na Haonan's request.

However, Zhu Youxiao was happy. He knew that Na Haonan was finally willing to help. This was originally a plan he had devoured. Naturally, he can't change his mind at a critical moment.

So Zhu Youxiao scolded the ministers who wrote the book, accusing them of having to fight with war horses and not living up to five war horses to eat grass, alluding to their corpses and vegetarian meals.

Then, Zhu Youxiao issued a holy decree allowing Deng Haonan to lead troops across the border, and praised Deng Haonan for serving the country and the people and being a loyal minister. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to inform the world of what Deng Haonan had done. and praised Deng Haonan again and again for his loyalty to the country.

In this way, Di Haonan's image as a loyal minister and important minister of the country spread throughout the country.

And after receiving the praise notice from Han, the officials of the Second Elimination Governor's Mansion asked Di Haonan to take a bath in the second place, and only Deng Haonan understood the key in his heart.

"Damn Zhu Youxiao!"

Deng Haonan scolded secretly in his heart, he knew what Zhu Youxiao was doing this for. The image of Deng Haonan as a loyal minister and important minister of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly to put a high hat on Deng Haonan. A hat that is admired by tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. This is to make Deng Haonan be praised highly, if Deng Haonan is not loyal to do things for the emperor and the country, then he will immediately lose the support of the people.

The higher you hold it, the worse it will be if you fall. The more Di Haonan is said to be a loyal minister, then Bei undoubtedly pushed Deng Haonan to the opposite side of the traitor Wei Zhongxian, and there is no choice where to go.

Di Haonan smiled bitterly in his heart, Ya's Zhu Youxiao is so black and so damaged, this trick can be thought of, history is really wronged by this girl's talent!

In the attic of the Hou Mansion, Deng Haonan looked at the sunset in a daze.

Yingying's footsteps sounded, and Wanshu took Broken Haonan's cloak and put it on him. "Isn't it good for my husband to be a loyal minister in the eyes of the world?" Wan Shu laughed softly: "The subordinates and ordinary people inside and outside the house are very happy!

Deng Haonan turned around, held her little hand in his hand, and said with a smile: "Of course!" ”

Wanshu smiled and threw herself into Deng Haonan's arms.

Deng Haonan smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that the people already have too high expectations for themselves. This is a good thing and a bad thing, and the good thing is naturally higher prestige. The disadvantage is that the deeper the people's hatred for Wei Zhongxian, the higher their expectations for Deng Haonan, once Di Haonan cannot satisfy the people, it will have a negative effect.

"What is this for?"

Seeing that Wanshu took out the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, Na Haonan was a little puzzled.

Wan Shu smiled: "After you enter Beijing, this jade pendant is placed next to you, maybe it can help you." After all, it is a token of the emperor! ”

Said the same Deng Haonan thought to himself that the jade belt and imperial cushion given by the emperor are very useful outside, if this jade pendant is in hand

Deng Haonan smiled in his heart, this thing was worn by the emperor, and if he put it in his hands, no one dared to care about it even if he was swaggering.

So, Deng Haonan accepted it.

"Good lady, let's let my father-in-law have a kiss!"

"Nasty, broad daylight.

"Tomorrow Xianggong will enter Beijing, and today Xianggong will attack the city and conquer the city, and fight with the lady for three hundred rounds!"

Wanshu was about to resist, but she was stopped by Na Haonan and hugged her.

Jiao snorted, but he wanted to refuse and welcome, which made Na Haonan's head rise up, and he walked towards the bedroom with Wanshu in his arms.

※※

The next day, the sergeants made food on the third watch, and they were ready for the fifth watch, but Deng Haonan only got up after three o'clock in the morning. Freshened up and dressed neatly, under Wanshu's reluctant eyes, Na Haonan boarded the warship.

At the wharf of Lushun Military Port, under the blue sky, I saw groups of fully armed army soldiers on the wharf, under the orderly command of officers at all levels, boarding the troop carriers one after another.

Not far from the troop carrier was a busy logistics unit, which was transporting a large number of military and combat materials onto the transport ship.

As the departure whistles of the ships came out, the trumpets on the shore sounded.

"Stand upright!

The ceremonial officers on the shore shouted, Lin Feng and the other left-behind generals stood upright, and the soldiers nearby raised their guns one after another, holding their heads high and looking at the warships in the harbor.

"Salute!"

All the officers and men left behind saluted the expeditionary force on the warship.

At the same time, Deng Haonan on the warship and other officers and soldiers who entered Beijing immediately returned the salute.

The two sides watched each other like this, until all the ships slowly sailed out of the port of Arthur, and there were no words, and a simple but powerful military salute to the soldiers was enough to express their trust and respect for each other.

At first, everyone was puzzled by the military salute, and thought it was purely a formality. As time passed, the generals began to slowly feel the taste, although the soldiers had to salute their superiors first, but when they saw that the superior officers had to return the salute, that feeling broke the conventional customs of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, soldiers knelt and kowtowed to officers, and officials reprimanded soldiers in addition to beating and scolding, but now there is a military salute, which makes soldiers feel that they are valued and that officers and soldiers are equal.

This kind of effect is what Deng Haonan wants, he needs to fully unite the officers and soldiers, and only the whole can give full play to the greatest combat effectiveness.

Undoubtedly, the current situation is proceeding according to Deng Haonan's conception and plan, and the effect is gradually becoming prominent.

Under the blue sea and blue sky, nearly 100 warships and warships of all sizes galloped on the sea. The sea breeze blows the sails, the flags are unfurled, and the warships break the waves.

On 18 May, Deng Haonan and his entourage docked at Tianjinwei. Since the troop carriers are all large sea vessels, they cannot go through the North Canal. Therefore, Zhan Zengyong led 10,000 black-armored elite cavalry of Long Wuwei and 10,000 cavalry artillery with Li Han to land at Tianjinwei, while the Marine Division accompanied Deng Haonan and entered Beijing along the North Canal in a frigate.

Since Tianjin Wei had already received orders from the imperial court, the landing of Deng Haonan's army was not blocked. However, along the way, the guards were on alert.

Deng Haonan's army marched by land and water, and the officials and ordinary people along the way gained knowledge. On the land, the black armor rode a tall horse, the armor was black and shiny, and the red tassels were trembling, which was majestic in the eyes of the common people. In the eyes of the Ming army along the way, it was domineering, and it was faintly a little more murderous. There was also the cavalry artillery in the back, which was made up of British heavy guns and turned into two murderers. Hanging wilting waterproof cannon suit, but it is full of Dan-shaped pressure shark "Six

In the North Canal, frigates swim upstream, and their tall masts and sails are even more eye-catching. It is not strange for those who know the inside story, but the common people who don't know still think that the foreign ship has entered Beijing!

In order to show off their strength, the officers and men of the Second Squadron of the Pacific Fleet stood ashore on both sides of the battleship and on the periphery of the bridge, their white figures, straddling their hands outside, and holding their heads high. Under the brim of the black hat, a pair of spiritual eyes received the attention of the onlookers along the way.

A series of actions are all showing people the difference of the Liaodong Army, whether in terms of strength or spiritual outlook, they all press the image of the traditional Ming Army in the hearts of the people.

Waterfowl and fish and birds that fly with the ship. The crisp shouts of the children on the shore as they ran soon became their backs.

※※

Di Haonan went to Beijing to report on his work, and the family was happy. Many sorrows.

The first to bear the brunt is Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian has been suffering from Zhu Youxiao's illness since the collapse of the dragon. I began to feel the smell of danger obviously. The last Wang Zhichen incident had already sounded the alarm for Wei Zhongxian. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian was most afraid of Deng Haonan's entry into Beijing, so he summoned his five tigers, five biaos, and a group of dogs and grandchildren to discuss countermeasures.

Jin Yiwei commanded Tian Erma as the intelligence leader, Wei Zhongxian's ears and eyes, Deng Haonan led the army along the North Canal water and land, and the Jinyi Wei along the way rushed up.

"Nine thousand years old!" Tian Erma said worriedly: "According to the report, there are about 10,000 horsemen in the black armor. There was also a heavy team of about 10,000 people in the back. However, the insertion weights are covered, and some people think that it is not insertion weights but artillery! In addition, there are thirty Western warships, and it is unknown how many people are on board! It is estimated that there will be 10,000 or 20,000 people! ”

Wei Zhongxian's brows tightened, and the Beizhen Fu Si Prison Jinyi Guard on the side commanded Jin Shi Xu Xianchun after thinking for a moment and said, "Deng Haonan's crow weight should be on the boat." Then the onshore camel should not be inserted."

Urging Ying Yuan sneered and said, "Isn't it just tens of thousands?" There are 80,000 horses and infantry troops outside the Shuntian Mansion, and there are even more Shenyi machine battalions in the capital, which can't set off the wind and waves."

"Yes!" Sun Yunhe Fu shouted: "That Haonan is a foreign official, rising in recklessness, worrying that the court is unfavorable and he is also reasonable, if it were me, I would not be at ease to enter Beijing alone!" ”

Tian Erma retorted: "Although there are not many tens of thousands of horses, these soldiers are well-equipped, especially the black-armored elite horseman. But he defeated his godson and made a big show."

A godson. Suddenly the others shook unconsciously. Nurhachi's fear of Daming over the years has always been deep. One mentions the particles. There is nothing to be afraid of.

As long as everything is compared, the problem is discovered, and tens of thousands of godsons can fight hundreds of thousands of Ming troops defeated. Then the tens of thousands of Liaodong troops naturally cannot be taken lightly.

"So what to do?" Qi Yingyuan and Sun Yunhe immediately put away their contemptuous attitudes, but they were more worried than Tian Erdi and the others.

"Alright". Wei Zhongxian was lying on the Taishi chair, his big eyelids raised, and he looked like everyone was in a circle. In the end, it fell to Wei Guangwei, a university scholar.

"What do you think?"

Wei Guangwei hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Qi Yu is nine thousand years old, and the factory minister thinks that Na Haonan's move is a show of force, which shows that he is afraid of the imperial court. Then in turn, it can be seen that Na Haonan is worried that the court will be unfavorable to him. Therefore, it is just to bring troops to guard

Wei Zhongxian didn't nod or shake his head, things were very complicated, he never expected Deng Haonan to string them up so quickly. has exceeded his imagination. "I'm afraid he will have a good intention!"

Wei Guangwei didn't know what was going on in the palace, but he also understood what Wei Zhongxian was referring to, so he said, "It shouldn't be!" Why don't you send someone to test him! ”

Wei Zhongxian thought about it, then nodded. said: "It's good to find out!" But prepare for the worst."

Tian Erma said: "Nine thousand years old, rest assured, the big camp outside the city is already assembled, and the defenders in the city are also ready, as soon as Hao Nan comes, we only need to monitor their army."

Wei Guangwei said: "That Haonan is the Marquis of Wanhu, and he is the Governor of the Left Governor of the Five Armies, and now the Governor of the Five Armies is vacant, so he is the nominal commander of the forbidden army, and he is allowed to bring up to 10,000 guards into the city!" ”

Wei Zhongxian's face turned blue. Suddenly, I understood the mystery. So he said, "Why are we confused? At the beginning, the saint gave Na Haonan the official title of the Governor of the Five Armies, but our family didn't think about it so much, but I didn't expect the emperor to lay out this chess game a long time ago! ”

Tian Erma said: "Who would have thought of this? At the beginning, he was given the title of Governor of the Five Armies, but it was because Deng Haonan was at most a feudal overseas, and even if he had troops and respected himself, he could not transfer the army to the capital. But that's no longer the case. Although this Governor of the Five Armies is a nominal title and does not have the real power of the forbidden army, the forbidden army cannot prevent his nominal boss from entering the city! ”

Urging Ying Yuan said: "It's easy to do! Test him first, if he wants to go against the nine thousand years old, then we have a preparation first! If there are more than 2,000 people, it will be a bad intention, and we will resolutely prevent him from entering the city

Wei Zhongxian thought about it, there was really no better way now. However, Wei Zhongxian still sent Wei Guangwei to test Na Haonan's tone first, and at the same time, Wei Zhongxian prepared a false holy decree to notify all officers of the forbidden army. Na Haonan's Governor of the Five Armies was cut down. C
