Chapter 152: Datong General Army

After signaling his subordinates to carry down the fairly lucrative gifts, Luo Yangxing, who was full of smiles, asked bluntly: "Zhou Qianhu, your Lord Wei sent you over, shouldn't it be just to give me a gift as a commander of the Jinyi Guard..."

Zhou Chenguang was stunned for a moment, quickly got up from his seat and said, "My lord, my humble position has indeed brought some requests from our Lord Wei, and I hope that the commander will be able to help my Tiger and Leopard Army tide over this crisis and difficulties. ”

Luo Yangxing asked with interest: "Eh....the Tiger and Leopard Army is not even afraid of the Tartars, what are the crises and difficulties that cannot be overcome....I want to listen to it today and see what difficulties and crises you Lord Wei have?" ”

"Yes, Commander..."

Under Luo's gaze, Zhou Chenguang replied as calmly as possible: "My Tiger and Leopard Army is definitely not afraid of Tartars on the battlefield, but thousands of soldiers need tens of thousands of taels of silver and tens of thousands of catties of grain every month. However, since the withdrawal of the Tartars, the entire Zunhua has been almost completely scraped by the Tartars. ”

"Our Tiger and Leopard Army not only can't levy a tael of silver in Zunhua, but also have to take out a large amount of military pay and food to help the old and weak women and children left behind by the Tartars. In addition, the general army of Zunhua did not give my Haw Par Army military salaries, food and grass, and with the family money that my Haw Par Army snatched from the Tatars, I would be starved to death sooner or later..."

"We, Lord Wei, asked me to ask the Commander, I wonder if the Commander still remembers the request he made to me in the first place......

"After the Tartars withdrew from the customs, our Haw Par Army exchanged the Tartar fifteen Belle Duoduo for a place in the Guannai to give me the use of the Haw Par Army to raise troops. In addition, with my current official position as Lord Haw Par Junwei. Served as the prefect of the Kannai Prefecture. It is not only in line with the legal system of the imperial court. It's also a demote..."

A hint of sudden realization appeared directly on Luo Yangxing's puzzled face, and he said to Zhou Chenguang with an atmospheric face: "Hehe, I, Luo Yangxing, am the commander of Jinyiwei, since I said this, I will definitely do it..."

"Now, there is an opportunity for the Haw Par Army to enter the customs, I don't know if the Haw Par Army dares to seize this opportunity."

Zhou Chenguang replied without thinking: "Lord Commander, of course we dare." When we were surrounded by tens of thousands of Tatars, we were never afraid, let alone now... I don't know what this opportunity is...."

Luo Yangxing nodded, agreeing with what Wei Zheng said, "I'm not afraid to sue you....The Shaanxi rebels took advantage of the time when the official army was gathering at the border to fight against the Tartars, and took the opportunity to attack Shanxi." At present, tens of thousands of displaced people who have been coerced by this rebel army are rapidly advancing towards the Datong area. The opportunity I am talking about is to send the Haw Par Army into the customs and garrison Datong. Hold back the rebel attack and hold the Datong Mansion at the east gate of Beijing..."

The next morning. After listening to a series of arrangements from the Ministry of War, Chongzhen did not answer immediately, but asked anxiously: "I want to know, with so many soldiers and horses, how long will it take for the Ministry of War to be mobilized in place..."

"Your Majesty, according to the calculations of the Ministry of War, it will take at least a month for all the soldiers and horses to be reinforced... After all, our Ming official army has not yet formed a large-scale cavalry, and it is impossible to quickly reinforce Datong through the guò cavalry..."The military department Shangshu replied with a look of embarrassment.

At this time, a voice that the civil official group least wanted to hear sounded in the court.

The commander of the Jinyi guard made Luo Yangxing stand up calmly, and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that an army can reinforce Datong within half a month, block the rebel offensive, and hold the east gate of the Beijing Division..."

"Uh... There really is such an army......." Chongzhen, who was still solemn just now, immediately showed a glimmer of hope.

Facing Luo Yangxing, he asked expectantly: "Luo Aiqing, I really have such an army..."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Luo replied in a firm tone.

"I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers the Haw Par Army who have repeatedly made military exploits in Zunhua..."

"Of course I remember...."Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up and said to Luo Yangxing.

"This tiger and leopard army has made many achievements, not only defeated the Tartars, but also captured the Tartars fifteen Beledodor. I seem to remember that the commander of this tiger and leopard army is called Wei Zheng, not only the Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, but also the deputy chief soldier of Zunhua..."

Luo Yangxing replied loudly: "Your Majesty is wise... The Haw Par Army not only made great achievements in Zunhua, but also captured a large number of war horses in the hands of the Tartars. According to the report, all the thousands of soldiers of the Haw Par Army have been equipped with war horses. As long as the imperial court issues the order to transfer troops, the Tiger and Par Army can attack Datong within half a month and block the rebels. ”

Seeing that Chongzhen's face had already shown a look of interest, Luo Yangxing continued: "In addition, the fifteenth Belle Duoduo of the Tartars captured by the Tiger and Par Army is still in the hands of the Tiger and Par Army. As long as the Haw Par Army enters the customs, the Tartar Fifteen Beylers can be escorted into Beijing and handed over to the imperial court for disposal...."

"Your Majesty, as long as the fifteenth Belle Duoduo of the Tartars falls into the hands of the imperial court, the imperial court can use Duoduo to negotiate with Houjin, obtain the war horses urgently needed by the imperial court, and form a cavalry force that can compete with the Tartars..."

"Therefore, the minister implores His Majesty to immediately issue an order to send the Tiger and Leopard Army into the customs and reinforce Datong..."

On the official road leading from Beijing to Zunhua, the Qincha holding the holy decree was rushing to Zunhua under the leadership of Zhou Chenguang.

All the way into Zunhua, after entering the mushroom valley. Wei Zheng had already taken Zhou Shuyuan and waited at the gate of the General's Mansion, ready to receive the order.

"Fengtian carrier, emperor...... Crowned Zunhua deputy general guard as the general army of Datong, commanding all the troops of Datong, blocking the rebels of Shaanxi....... the tiger and leopard army from the day of receiving the holy decree, immediately set off to enter the customs, must feel Datong within half a month, take over all the houses in Datong, violators of the order will be beheaded...... Chin this..."

After getting the results you wanted, but unexpectedly. The worry on Wei Zheng's face was immediately replaced by a smile, and after receiving the holy decree, he said excitedly to Qin Cha in front of him.

"The ministers and guards receive the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

"Lord Qincha, the emperor's order is here, I immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare, and strive to set off the morning after tomorrow, and within ten days, I was ordered to rush to Zunhua to block the Shaanxi rebels..."

"Please start the emperor after Lord Qincha returns to Beijing, the fifteenth Belle Duoduo of the Tartars will enter the customs with us, please send heavy troops to the official road to receive the Duoduo, and escort the fifteenth Beile Duoduo of the Tartars back to Beijing..."

The minister nodded, and after receiving the 1,000 taels of silver sent by Wei Zheng, he responded with a smile: "Please rest assured, Lord Wei, I will definitely convey your original words to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty knows your loyalty........."
