Chapter 223: It's too extravagant

In more than two days, 9,000 soldiers and baggage were boarded on the Denglai Navy warship and the merchant ships pulled by the half-leased and half-strong, and Yang Fan, the Denglai reinforcement, drove directly to Tianjin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The generals boarded the largest large Fu boats, after all, the Dafu ships were large and stable, relatively comfortable, and relatively safe to enter the sea.

As the general's ship, they were the last to leave the port, and they were also the last to be shocked.

At this time, the sea off Dengzhou was already covered with 300 Denglai Navy Division's warships, but in the northern seas, some huge sail shadows were standing, and the black-gray giant ships showed that Denglai Sailors' warships were so short.

The flag hanging above is not the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Keda looked at it with a telescope, this is a kind of red-green flag that has never been seen,

"Lord Zhang, this is a merchant ship of the people of Macau, and it was invited by Zhao Haiming and Lord Zhao to come to Tianjin to help." Wang Yan on the side said that this was all a pre-negotiated statement by Zhao Lie's father and son.

"Oh," Zhang Ke raised his eyebrows, he was a general of the Southern Army who had been transferred to Denglai from Nanjing, Songjiang and other places, and of course he knew about the Francois in Macau and the Dutch people harassing eastern Guangdong in Fujian, "How did this Lord Zhao Haiming and Lord Zhao become familiar with the Francois in Macau, and there were so many huge ships coming to help." ā€

"My lord doesn't know that Zhao Haiming's second son, Zhao Lie, married the daughter of a nobleman Francis, and his family is quite famous in Macau, so the two shopping malls are very lively." Wang Yan said with a smile.

Well, it's this Zhao Lie again, no wonder, I always feel that Zhao Lie's soldiers and armor are very different from the Ming army, and it seems that it was imported from Franco.

Zhang Keda nodded, without words, for the help of Franco. Of course he welcomes it. But. It is impossible for him to have anything to do with Franco, you must know that the thousand-year-old Huayi defense is fatal, and as a person in the officialdom who has anything to do with it, it is self-inflicted on his future.

He also sighed for Zhao Lie, a young general, good at governing the army, how short-sighted and intermarried with Yiren. The future is bleak, in his opinion, Zhao Lie has no hope of being promoted to a substantive position such as the chief soldier in the future, and it would be good to have a general to send him.

The fleet headed northwest, and as it was winter, the northwest wind was strong, so the fleet had to constantly adjust the angle of the sails, borrowing the power of the wind, and moving at a turtle speed of two knots.

On November 28, Tianjin's Weihai Bay was filled with hundreds of boats, and the docks were busy. The soldiers who spoke Shandong dialect kept coming down from the sea boats, and the generals were busy gathering their soldiers, baggage, and horses.

The thin soldiers of the Tianjin Navy Division on the dock were lazily watching the scene. This is the first team to enter the guard from Tianjin, and there are a large number of people, and they all have a herd mentality, and they also hope that the more reinforcements come, the better, so that Tianjin will be more stable.

They had been frightened for a long time, and if Jiannu really attacked Tianjin, the sailors who were a few miles outside the Acropolis would have to take refuge in the sea for a while.

Zhang Keda can only take care of his soldiers now, the first to get off the ship is the Denglai soldiers, there are many soldiers and horses, it took more than half a day to unload, and then the guards from all over the country disembarked, until the morning of the second day, all the guards disembarked.

At this time, Zhang Keda had already led the soldiers to the Acropolis, and at the moment he knew nothing about the Gyeonggi War, so he couldn't be blind and blind to enter the guard, so it was inevitable to go to Tianjin Wei to inquire about the latest movements of Jiannu.

The guards who disembarked were camped near the pier, most of them were on the boat for the first time, and the wind and waves of a few days made them dizzy and unsteady on their feet, and they just wanted to rest for a few days.

Zhang Keda is feasting with the commander of Tianjin Wei Yuan Ming, although Zhang Keda is the general soldier of Denglai, the second grade, Tianjin Wei is also the world's David, the commander is from the second grade, and has a good relationship with the Gyeonggi nobles and gentry all the year round, Zhang Keda of course does not dare to take it.

Yuan Mingjing had his own support behind him, and he did not bend his face, and the two also talked happily in the banquet, and the other generals on both sides of the army who accompanied each other became another table.

"Alas, this time Jiannu is known as 100,000 into the Kou, and now it seems that there are 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers," Yuan Mingjing told Zhang Ke about the battle report of the Beijing Division, "Yuan Manzi led more than 10,000 cavalry from the mountains and seas to defend it, and planned to resist Jiannu in Jizhou, but Jiannu bypassed Jizhou, and drove directly to Tongzhou from Shunyi to Sanhe, Xianghe and other places, and drove directly to Tongzhou. ā€

Yuan Mingjing said here, pouting, "This is the governor of Yuan in Pingliao for five years, who was attacked by Jiannu to break through the Great Wall of Jizhen, and was played by Jiannu again. ā€

There are not a few military generals who secretly sympathize with Mao Wenlong, the Ming Dynasty is already noble and cheap, this time Wenchen is good at killing second-grade military generals, you must know that the chief military officer is almost the peak of Wuchen, so he was killed by Wenchen like a chicken and a dog, how not to let the Ming martial arts give birth to a rabbit and a fox with a sad heart. Of course, it was great to see Yuan Chenghuan so embarrassed.

"What Lord Yuan said is extremely true, my military minister is also fighting for the country, and Mao Wenlong's end is too miserable." is also a military general, Zhang Keda echoed a few words.

Yuan Ming raised his glass to pay tribute to Zhang Keda, and drank a cup with him.

"Lord Yuan, in this way, Jiannu is attacking the capital." Zhang Keda asked.

"Exactly, I heard that the day before yesterday Jiannu could not attack the city, and the enemy chief Taiji led the main force to be stationed in Jingnanhaizi, watching the Beijing division, and now Shanxi, Datong, Xuanfu, and Baoding have entered the guard army under the command of the general army in various places to rush to the aid of the Beijing division. The enemy chieftain Daishan led part of the Jiannu army and horses to the east. This is the latest report that would have been received yesterday. Yuan Ming said respectfully.

Zhang Keda hesitated when he heard the news, well, there are two roads from Tianjin Wei to Beijing, one is to the northeast and west to Beijing, and the other is from Tianjin Wei to the west through Gu'an, Zhuozhou, and Liangxiang to enter Beijing.

Now enter Beijing from the east, it is possible to meet Daishan, detour into Beijing from the southwest, now the Huang Taiji army is stationed in the south of the city, and many soldiers and horses have entered the king of Beijing, as an important town of the Denglai army is far away, late to the excusable, but to Tianjin Wei is afraid of the enemy, do not dare to enter Beijing Gongwei Jun's father, then the court will investigate afterwards, he himself will not be able to protect his head, and his family will not be spared.

"Lord Yuan is familiar with the origin of this place, can you tell him how to enter the king of Jingqin." Zhang Keda had no choice but to ask Yuan Mingjing, the head snake, to see what good ideas he could have.

Of course, Yuan Mingjing knew about Zhang Keda's entanglement, "Lord Zhang is a fan of the authorities." The army of the king of Qin from all over the Ming Dynasty arrived. Jiannu has been attacking Beijing for a long time. If you are the slave chieftain Hongtai, how should you deal with it? ā€

Zhang Keda got up and raised his glass, "Lord Yuan is really insightful, this town respects Lord Yuan with a cup." Zhang Keda secretly scolded himself for being stupid, Jiannu saw that the reinforcements were coming, and after looting, it was naturally the best policy to return from the original road in Jizhen in the northeast.

"Master Zhang is worried about the king, and his mind is so anxious that his mind is burned. With the ability of Master Zhang, it is not difficult to think of countermeasures. Yuan Mingjing said with a smile.

There was a knock on the door, and a guard came in to report, "Lord Liu asks to see you." ā€

The guerrilla Liu Jiming was left at the wharf by Zhang Keda, and he was worried that the soldiers of the various guards would not obey the orders and cause chaos, and he also urged the commanders to land and set up camp as soon as possible.

"My lord, this on the dock... Well... Liu Jiming entered the room, hesitated, and his eyes were aimed at Yuan Mingjing.

"Master Yuan is not an outsider, he has something to say." Of course, Zhang Keda understood what he meant. However, at this time, you can't sweep Yuan Mingjing's face, it's just a scandal such as which subordinate doesn't listen to orders or acts procrastinating. They are all military generals who have never encountered them, and there is nothing that cannot be heard of.

"My lord, I'm afraid the number of soldiers belonging to Zhao Lie of the Thousand Households of Jinghaiwei Zuo Thousand Households may not match." Liu Jiming reported.

"Well, he dared to deceive this town, he brought a few hundred soldiers." Zhang Ke was furious, he gave a military order directly, Zhao Lie dared to disobey Yin and Yang, he really didn't want to die, he was not the commander of Sanpin, but a small Qianhu.

"Uh, ahem, this... , my lord, it's not a few hundred, Zhao Lie's subordinates seem to be thousands. Liu Jiming said embarrassedly.

"Well, what, thousands of people," Zhang Keda's eyes widened in disbelief, "Liu Jiming won't be you drunk again." "This Liu Jiming has always obeyed Zhang Keda, but he likes the things in the cup, and it is possible to drink too much to dazzle.

"My lord, my subordinates have been wronged, Zhao Lie's department is landing at the dock, and my lord can tell at a glance." Liu Jiming shouted injustice.

Zhang Ke hesitated slightly,

"Lord Yuan, I'm riddled with trivial matters, I have to go, I'm sorry." Zhang Ke hugged his fists.

"The adult is responsible for the king of diligence, how dare Yuan delay the important affairs of the adult, the adult please." Yuan Mingjing arched his hand.

Zhang Keda, Liu Jiming and a group of guards went out of the city and went straight to the dock.

There were two squares neatly arranged in the open space outside the dock, but the soldiers did not fight, they all sat in place, beside them was a heavy package and weapons, no one walked around, no one talked to each other, it was quiet.

Zhang Keda took a closer look at these two strange military formations, and raised his eyes to look at Liu Jiming,

"My lord, these two formations are the first soldiers to land on the shore." Liu Ji said clearly.

Zhang Keda continued to move forward, only to see Zhao Lie surrounded by a hundred guards watching the unloading of a huge Xiyi sea ship.

Zhang Keda looked forward, damn, what kind of horse is this, I saw dozens of war horses just landed, all tall, with exposed muscles and bones, more than half a foot higher than the usual mounts, most of them are gray, brown, and brown fur.

At this time, Zhao Lie and the others had already discovered that Zhang Keda and others were approaching, after all, Zhang Keda and his personal guards were also numerous.

"Meet Lord Chief." Zhao Lie led the crowd to bow down.

"Zhao Lie, this town heard that you commanded more than a thousand soldiers, is it true?" Zhang Ke asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, it's true, but my subordinates are also doing it according to orders." Zhao Lie presented a letter.

Zhang Keda took a look, it turned out to be a military order from the capital division, ordering Zhao Lie to lead no less than 1,000 soldiers out of the battle, and the soldiers must be complete, otherwise the military law will be engaged.

Zhang Keda immediately knew that this was the hand and foot of Yang Tongzhi, who was not on good terms with Zhao Lie, and he was disdainful of it, but he couldn't show it in front of his subordinates.

"How many soldiers have you brought with you?" Zhang Keda asked.

"Lord Bing, my subordinates command 3,000 infantry troops, and 1,000 cavalry troops." Zhao Lie reported loudly.

"How much?" Zhang Keda's voice was a little broken, he was really shocked. The number of troops sent by a thousand households is equivalent to the number of soldiers sent out in the entire Denglai Town, and this matter cannot be accepted by any general soldier, Zhang Keda suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"My lord, there are 1,000 soldiers from 1,000 households, 2,000 from my father's family, 1,000 auxiliary soldiers to take care of the baggage, and 200 personal guards, a total of more than 4,000 people." Zhao Lie carefully re-reported.

Zhang Keda was sure that he had heard correctly, he looked at the cavalry team that was landing with a complicated mood, and could only sigh, damn, this old Zhao has hidden deep enough, it seems that he has not made less money over the years, who can know that he is a naval general but has a family of 2,000, if it weren't for the town to let his son-in-law go out, this old Zhao would definitely hide it, and now that it is displayed, it is too extravagant.
