In fact, Zhu Ping'an set off from Shandong a month and a half ago. ↗ ↗ ↗ Originally ↗, Zhu Ping'an planned to take a safe sea route, but in a hurry he received the news that the army was speeding up its march, and Li Zicheng only took more than a month to fight from Shanxi to Jinggi in Zhili, and its speed was greatly beyond the expectations of Shandong, and there was no way to send elite cavalry to take the land route.

Li Zicheng and Liu Fangliang two armies, one east and one south, attacked the Beijing Division, Zhu Ping'an sent troops from Leling, Shandong, drove directly to Cangzhou, and when he arrived in Xiongxian, he met Liu Fangliang's vanguard. However, what Liu Fangliang commanded was not the soldiers and horses who broke into the old camp of the army, but the local officials and troops from all over the country gathered together, and the combat power was unusual, raiding and looting places all the way, and encountering Zhu Ping'an's soldiers and horses was naturally a thousand miles away.

This time into Beijing, Zhu Ping'an only brought 5,000 cavalry, although the number was not large, but it included eighty percent of the elite of the Shandong cavalry. The Shandong cavalry has been heavy on quality over weight over quantity, so the number is not large, and most importantly, it is trapped by the scarcity of the number of war horses. When he was in Shaanxi, he took some from Luo Rucai, but the quality was uneven, and the breeding and training of war horses was a long-term plan.

Yue Jinfeng, Qiu Ze, Tong Wenhuan and other generals were stationed in various places, and this time, Zhu Ping'an led Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Dingbian, Yang Tinglin, Shen Ke, Wang Jinfa and other generals into Beijing, and Cao Wuxian was also on his side. The formation of the 5,000 cavalry army is a cavalry brigade, with Cao Bianjiao as the supervisor, Zhang Dingbian as his deputy, and the rest of the regimental and battalion-level officers are all the first and second phase trainees of the martial arts hall, and this system also strengthened Zhu Ping'an's control over the army. The Fengyang veteran group, which was originally quite powerful in the army, has been divided and disintegrated under Zhu Ping'an's deliberate suppression. Zhu Ping'an said first, no matter who it is, the important thing is that he wants to serve in the new army. It is necessary to pass the guò literacy class and the lecture martial arts course, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.

Although the number of Zhu Ping'an's soldiers and horses was small, when they entered the city, they still caused a shock to the people of Beijing. Zhu Ping'an's headquarters entered the outer city from Guangning Gate, and the originally crowded fleeing crowd on the street instantly restored order, and the noisy life instantly quieted down. In any case, a Qinwang army finally arrived in Beijing. This allowed the people's panicked mood to gradually calm down.

Zhu Ping'an's cavalry was different from the infantry army in the new army, and was not equipped with solid plate armor, and Zhu Ping'an's original plan was to set up two types of troops, cuirassiers and light cavalry, to adapt to different battlefields and opponents. However, in the process of actual training and formation, this opinion was gradually denied, and Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Dingbian, and Cao Bianjiao, who had recently joined, all disagreed with it.

Cuirassier cavalry is actually a kind of heavy cavalry, and its armor and equipment cost a lot of fine iron and materials, and the workmanship is also a lot more cumbersome. It's just that the cost is too high. Moreover, the weight of armor and equipment should be at least sixty pounds or more, which greatly reduced the mobility and sustained combat ability of the cavalry. As a result, this class was decisively eliminated.

In the current Shandong cavalry, ordinary soldiers are mainly Byzantine helmets popular in Mengyuan and simple versions of Tieluo ring armor, as long as they are for protection against cold weapons, especially the bows and arrows of the Manchu Qing Dynasty; The middle and low-ranking officers were mainly equipped with round-eaves helmets and mountain armor common in the Ming army, and the weapons were mainly cavalry spears, sabers, bows and crossbows, and a double-shot Shuanglong sailor handgun. And Dengzhou's self-made 10,000 enemies. That is, grenades, because it is not easy to carry. Therefore, it was kept by the baggage battalion and distributed in wartime.

The black-armored cavalry of the brigade slowly entered the Beijing Division, and the swarthy and textured armor, the cold expressions and eyes of the soldiers, and the uniform formation all made the people feel a great shock.

Count it up. This is the third time Zhu Ping'an has come to Jingshi, compared with the previous two times, Jingshi is indeed much more depressed, and the streets and alleys show a panic and fear that cannot be concealed.

Zhu Ping'an doesn't have much feeling, and today's Jingshi dynasty is precarious. The Ming Dynasty will go to its last moment, and this time the significance of entering Beijing is more to win a righteous name for himself. Another significance is that this time the crown prince Zhu Cihong and a cadre of the royal family will be safely taken out of Beijing and sent to Shandong. Prince Zhu Cihong's hostility towards himself, Zhu Ping'an is clear, his position in his heart can be imagined, now, he is just a false snake, once he is allowed to stand firm, I am afraid that the first one who will be unlucky is himself,

This made Lu Zhenfei and the civil and military forces under his command extremely worried. After so many years of painstaking operation in Shandong, once Zhu Ping'an falls, these civil and military generals who follow him will be implicated without exception. Therefore, before leaving, Zhao Guangchen, Yue Jinfeng, Qiu Ze and others, including Lu Zhenfei and Lu Xiangsheng, all reminded Zhu Ping'an openly or secretly and expressed their worries.

Their attitude made Zhu Ping'an very satisfied, but Zhu Ping'an also had his own plans, from the moment he arrived in Shandong, he had already set out a big game of chess, and the only people who knew the secrets were Yin Shigang and Cao Wuxian. With this entry into Beijing, the whole plan is also being carried out in an orderly manner, which involves a lot of people, and there are also many variables, what kind of result will be produced, Zhu Ping'an's heart is not completely sure.

Of course, there is one of the most important things on this trip, that is, to take Wang Chengen back to Shandong, because there are too many questions about himself in him.

And Cao Bianjiao, who was beside Zhu Ping'an, also fell into contemplation at this time. Re-entering the Beijing Division, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but have a feeling of vicissitudes of life, fighting for the country for more than ten years, and two generations of people fought bloodily for the Ming Dynasty, but in the end they were ruthlessly abandoned, which made Cao Bianjiao feel heartache, but also began to doubt the faith he had always adhered to in his heart. He also knew very well that from the moment he promised Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Ping'an to stay in the Shandong army to serve, he was no longer an orthodox Ming general.

After staying for more than half a year, the situation in Shandong has also been understood a lot, Cao Bianjiao has made it clear that Shandong is now under the control of Zhu Ping'an, from civil officials to military attaches at all levels, and has been closed and replaced with people with strong Zhu Ping'an imprints, King Lu and other relatives are just a signboard, because of the threat of interests and force, they also have to rely on Zhu Ping'an, and now it is not too much to say that Zhu Ping'an is a feudal town. He joined the sequence of the Shandong Army, which was the end of the battle with the king. From this point of view, he felt that he should have seen it much more thoroughly than the royal courtiers.

The army slowly marched on the streets of Jingshi, and what made Zhu Ping'an feel a little embarrassed was that there was no one to stop or even be on duty at the city gate, and he could only arrange for his subordinates to control the Guangning Gate, and now he had entered the inner city, but there was still no relevant official to inquire and arrange.

In other words, his 5,000-strong army entered the center of this empire without any hindrance, and did not encounter any obstruction or inquiry during the period.

"Dashuai!" It was obviously full of people, but there was a sudden shout on the dead and silent street, and when he turned his head to look, Zhu Ping'an realized that it was Ah Da.

The guards circled a field to separate the idlers, Ah Da led the two carriages to squeeze out the crowd, and gave Zhu Ping'an and Cao Wuxian and other people to greet them, and then returned to Zhu Ping'an, and the carriage was Sun Chuanting's family, who was about to go out of the city to Nanjing for temporary refuge.

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help frowning, but he stepped forward to meet Mrs. Sun in politeness, and as for Sun Ruoxuan, who had slightly complicated eyes and even some expectations next to him, he didn't even look at it.

Mrs. Sun's illness was completely caused by Yousi, which made Zhu Ping'an feel a little unbearable, and after thinking about it, he still whispered to Mrs. Sun: "Madame, don't worry too much, Zhu has just received a good news here, Governor Sun, in fact, he was not martyred." ”

One sentence immediately ignited the hope in the hearts of Mrs. Sun, Sun Shirui and Sun Ruoxuan. Mrs. Sun looked at Zhu Ping'an in disbelief, "The handsome man is not to make the old woman feel relieved, this is ......!" ”

Zhu Ping'an shook his head, "The news can be confirmed to be true, but Governor Sun was seriously injured in the Battle of Tongguan, so he has been recuperating in the Bears Ears Mountain. Zhu got the news and has sent someone to contact, I believe that in the near future, Governor Sun will lead people south, and when the time comes, he can reunite with his wife's family! ”

"But, but ......!" Mrs. Sun was in ecstasy, but after thinking about it, she was a little worried, "The court and the emperor have not issued an edict to my lord for a long time, if I get the news of my lord, will I issue a decree and punish him?" ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled bitterly, "Please rest assured, Madame, the court has no time and energy to deal with Governor Sun at the moment, has the court issued an order to cut off Governor Sun's official position, so in the future, he will still be the Ming Dynasty's military secretary and the governor of the three provinces!" ”

Only then did Mrs. Sun put her mind at ease, and Zhu Ping'an told Ah Da to leave the lurking personnel, end the industry of the Beijing division as much as possible, send Mrs. Sun to Nanjing, and then return to Shandong to standby.

Sun Ruoxuan looked at Zhu Ping'an expectantly, although Ah Da's words just now made her heart wrinkle, but her subconscious still hoped that Zhu Ping'an could express something to herself. Family history, Da Ming has come to an end, his father will never be punished by Emperor Chongzhen in the future, and his vision is not wrong, Zhu Ping'an in front of him will become a major role in the future era, he is fully in line with his conditions for not marrying a hero in the world.

But Zhu Ping'an just glanced at her coldly, didn't even say a word, but turned around and brushed his sleeves away, shattering the only hope left in Sun Ruoxuan's heart. (To be continued......) R640
