The Shanxi Governor's Palace, including Zhang Wu, all the generals under Wei Zheng's command gathered together, with a hot face, waiting for Wei Zheng to issue a specific general order to send troops to the capital.

Wei Zheng, who had a stern face, had just walked into the council hall of the Governor's Mansion, and Zhao Yun, who had a straightforward personality, took the lead and shouted.

"Dashuai, don't you know: After your words came among the soldiers, the soldiers began to train day and night as if they had been beaten with chicken blood."

"Now, as soon as the last general walks into the training ground, he will be surrounded by soldiers, shouting that the last general will ask you to fight, and this time to attack the capital, we must bring our cavalry no matter what...... Otherwise, after the last general returns, he will not be able to explain to the more than 10,000 cavalry soldiers under his command......"

Seeing that Wei Zheng in front of him just nodded with a smile on his face and did not speak......

With a face full of eagerness, Zhao Yun continued: "In addition, the last general has another idea here......

The last general believes that in this operation to send troops to the capital, the minimum price will be paid. The only way is to be swift and fast, and before the officers and troops blocking us can react, they will directly attack the outside of the capital. ”

"And looking at our Tiger and Leopard Army and all the local garrisons, the cavalry under the command of the last general can meet the requirement of high military speed. Therefore, the last general asks you to fight, and I hope that the commander will hand over the vanguard task of sending troops to the capital to our cavalry......"

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Wang Feng, who was sitting beside him, was not very happy.

He said unconvinced to Zhao Yun: "Old Zhao, why should the task of the vanguard be handed over to your cavalry, and the musketeers can also be the vanguard...... Don't forget. Now the Haw Par Army, not only your cavalry is equipped with war horses. We musketeers, artillerymen. All equipped with war horses, we can also march quickly on the battlefield......"

After speaking, Wang Feng, who was excited, directly asked Wei Zheng to be unwilling to lag behind.

"Commander, on behalf of all the musketeers, the last general will ask you to fight, lead the soldiers under his command, and serve as the vanguard of this expedition to the capital......"

Seeing that Zhao Yun was still about to speak, Wei Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and replied, "Don't make any noise......

"The commander knows that the morale of the whole army is very high in the current Haw Par Army and the local garrisons. For this result. Ben Shuai was very satisfied. Because, at this juncture, there is just one sentence, that is, morale can be used ......"

"As for the dispatch of troops to the capital this time, who will Ben Shuai take with him. This answer, Ben Shuai will not answer you first. However, before that, Ben Shuai has a question, and he wants to test everyone in the school......"

"Ben Shuai wants to know. What is the purpose of our expedition to the capital? ”

Wang Feng, who had a calm face, replied without thinking about it: "Great marshal, the last general thinks that there are two purposes for sending troops. ”

"First. Show the court the strong combat effectiveness of our tiger and leopard army. ”

"In the battle of Laizhou Bay, although we used facts to show the strength of our army. However, for the civil and military ministers of the imperial court. They didn't see it with their own eyes. Their understanding of us is hearsay and reciprocal. ”

"But. In the eyes of the last general, only after seeing the strength of our Tiger and Leopard Army with his own eyes. They're going to get really scared......"

"As for the second purpose, that is, what the marshal said in the military camp, through our military prestige and strong combat effectiveness, force the imperial court to compromise with us, and lift the imperial court's blockade of our Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces."

Wei Zheng nodded and affirmed Wang Feng with an appreciative face......

"That's a good point...... In order to achieve the goal of getting the court to compromise with us, the first thing we need to do is to achieve the first goal. Therefore, these two purposes can be said to be interlinked and indispensable. ”

"But how can we achieve the first goal in the whole process of sending troops to the capital?"

Seeing the contemplative crowd, Wei Zheng did not hesitate and explained directly.

"General Zhao just came up with an idea, the soldiers are very fast, very good. However, what Ben Shuai wants to say is that if the purpose of our troops to the capital this time is to take the capital, Ben Shuai will definitely agree to this mention without hesitation. ”

"However, on the contrary, the purpose of our dispatch to the capital this time is not to take the capital, but to demonstrate to the imperial court. It shows the strong combat effectiveness of our tiger and leopard army, which makes the imperial court feel afraid. “

"Let's think about it, if we are fast, before the officials and soldiers of the imperial court can really react, they will already be outside the capital...... When the time comes, what will we take to demonstrate to the imperial court...... Are we a much better military appearance than the Imperial Court Champions, or are we more sophisticated weapons than the Imperial Court......"

"In Ben Shuai's opinion, these superficial things are impossible to move the imperial court and Emperor Chongzhen."

"And the only thing that can make them excited is how many court officials and soldiers we eliminated on the way to the capital. With the remaining imperial court officers and troops in the capital, can they hold the capital under the powerful offensive of our tiger and leopard army......"

"Therefore, this time to send troops to the capital, this commander not only does not want the so-called noble soldiers, but also does the opposite......"

"On the entire march to the capital, we must not only be slow, but also properly eliminate the imperial court officers and soldiers who are standing in our way. Let the people everywhere the soldiers go see the strength of our Tiger and Leopard Army. “

"This commander ordered that 10,000 cavalry, 5,000 musketeers, 10,000 tuntian soldiers, 1,000 artillery soldiers, and 10,000 garrisons be drawn from the whole army of the tiger and leopard army and the local garrison to form a northern army, which will be commanded by the commander himself and sent troops to the capital."

"General Zhao, the commander of the cavalry, General Zhou, the commander of the Tuntian soldiers, and General Zhang, the commander of the garrison, and the commanders of their respective generals and soldiers, followed the commander to the ......"

"General Wang, the commander of the musketeers, stayed in Datong...... During the period when Ben Shuai sent troops to the capital, all the armies in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces were commanded by you, assisting the military division, and guarding the two provinces for Ben Shuai. During this period, if the officers and soldiers come to attack, the commander allows you to counterattack...... If the opportunity is right, you can hit the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi. ”

"Yes, handsome......"

Wei Zheng formed the Northern Army and was about to send troops to the capital, and tens of thousands of tiger and leopard troops began to assemble and move closer to Datong Mansion...... With such a big matter, I feel that it is impossible to hide the ubiquitous eyes and ears of the imperial court.

Therefore, the general order of Wei Zheng to form the Northern Army has just been issued for a day.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, received the news and was frightened by the news.

When Emperor Chongzhen showed the news of Wei Zheng's formation of the Northern Expedition Army to his ministers who were in a hurry. Dozens of powerful ministers, large and small, were also taken aback.

Of course, after the shock, these ministers who were full of mouths immediately recovered their essence, and in front of Emperor Chongzhen, they scolded Wei Zheng for not being right.

It is said that Wei Zheng is a great rebel and will be punished by heaven......

Some people also say that Wei Zheng is bringing about his own destruction, as long as Wei Zheng dares to send troops, the people of the entire Ming Dynasty will attack Wei Zheng, a traitorous minister......

In a word, none of the more than a dozen important ministers who were noisy and noisy proposed a feasible proposal for themselves, all of which were empty words and nonsense that had no meaning......

Seeing this, Chongzhen's face full of worry was immediately replaced by anger.

After taking a deep breath, he scolded loudly at the ministers in front of him who still did not stop at all and continued to make noise.

"Shut up...... I'm here for you to figure it out, not for you to curse......"

"Tens of thousands of rebels are about to hit the foot of the capital, and you are still in the mood to curse here. Do you think that your scolding just now can repel the tens of thousands of troops under Wei Zheng......"

"I see that you are getting more and more confused now, I really don't know, how did you occupy such a high and powerful position in the Ming Dynasty and become my loyal minister, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty......"

Since he had the silver, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige in the court can be said to be better and better day by day. It is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it with the words 'one word and one hand holding the power of life and death'.

Therefore, as soon as Chongzhen's roar ended, the noisy hall instantly became silent.

Under the back and forth glance of Emperor Chongzhen's clever eyes, everyone lowered their heads and said nothing......

Just when Chongzhen's gaze slowly stopped on the military department Shangshu, the military department Shangshu, who had already begun to break out in cold sweat on his forehead, hurriedly stepped forward one step ahead.

Under the simultaneous gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, he said with a weak face......

"Please calm your anger, the old minister didn't expect that the Tiger and Leopard Army, which does not have any advantage in troops, would take the initiative to send troops, and even directly send troops to the capital, doing such a big rebellious thing......"

Hearing this, the expression on Chongzhen's face not only did not mean the slightest relief, but became more angry. Facing the military department, he said with a murderous face......

"I want a solution, not your explanation......"

"A few days ago, I have already given you a chance to continue to command the imperial court and besiege the two provinces of Shanxi as the secretary of the military department. However, as a result, the Haw Par Army was not wiped out, and the capital, where the center of the Ming Dynasty was located, had to face the attack of the rebel army of the Haw Par Army, which was in danger..."

"You say, how did you deserve to be the secretary of the military department, and what did you do?"

Hearing this, the military department Shangshu quickly knelt on the ground and promised Emperor Chongzhen loudly: "Please rest assured, as long as the old minister is still the military department Shangshu for a day, he will not watch the tiger and leopard army attack the capital and threaten the safety of His Majesty......"

"Lao Chen must come up with a solution in the shortest possible time to ensure the safety of the capital..."

Hearing this, the solemn and angry expression on Emperor Chongzhen's face finally showed a hint of ease.

However, at the moment of life and death, Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to let go of the military department so easily.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen, who is becoming more and more shrewd, will not be fooled by a few words from the Ministry of War so easily. (To be continued......)
