The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, you are young, and your suspicion is not small. *,23x, the generals of Liaoxi are all officials of the Ming Dynasty no matter what they say, you are the four members of the imperial court, no matter how bold they are, they dare not touch you. ”

Zhu Youcheng smiled bitterly in his heart, and said secretly, he didn't dare to move, the generals of Liaoxi have become de facto warlords in history, and there are many people who move. In the first year of Chongzhen, the Liao general secretly ordered the soldiers to mutiny, and strangled Bi Zisu, the governor of Liaodong from the second, and hung it on the beam of the house, creating the illusion of suicide. In the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan beheaded Mao Long, the governor of the five armies and the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, to clear the obstacles for Huang to enter the customs, and led the soldiers to trap in Beijing, looting a large number of young and strong, and insulting countless women.

Seeing that Zhu Youcheng was silent, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, so I'll follow you and bring 5,000 people immediately." But I have to go early and come back early, I can wait for you for the New Year. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back a year ago, and the movement of a large army is no better than a surprise attack by a small army, there are more things to prepare, and the march is slow. Next year's spring will be the time for Weichen to return. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was reluctant, and Zhu Youcheng said with a smile: "As the saying goes, wealth is in danger, and the emperor should not stop me from being rich." Ah Jian continues to make meritorious contributions in Jiangnan, and I, as his elder brother, can't fall behind, otherwise I will be laughed to death by him. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had no choice but to have a large banquet in the palace, which was considered to be an early New Year. It's just that it's only October 12 of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and there is still a month and a half before the New Year, and this year is a little early.

Because it was money and wine, the atmosphere of the banquet was a little dull, but Princess Huaining was the happiest, because his godfather Zhu Youcheng gave her a big red envelope, which contained two gold coins.

Princess Huaining salivated again. Reach out to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and ask for a red envelope. Hearing the auspicious words of "Congratulations to Cai, bring the red envelope" in the mouth of the good daughter, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but laugh, but where would the emperor bring cash with him? He touched his body for a long time, and finally took off a jade pendant, wrapped it in red paper and handed it to his daughter.

Took a turn. The little princess's pocket was full of red envelopes, and even Wei Zhongxian, the head of the prison who was known for his stinginess, also wrapped a red envelope for her, but there were fewer things inside, only two copper plates.

Although rescuing soldiers is like fighting fires, there are a lot of things to prepare for the expedition, and he has to settle the affairs of the Daming Executive Yuan and the Daming Military Yuan first, after all, he is the director of the two academies, up and down, and he has to find him if there is a problem. Finish the affairs of the two houses. It was already two days later, and he hurried to the West Town Fusi.

There were originally 11,000 households in Xizhen Fusi, excluding the 1,000 households in medical care, there were still 10,000 households left, of which 15,000 households had followed King Xin to Jiangnan to suppress bandits, and the other 10,000 households had gone to their respective defense areas to suppress bandits, and Xizhen Fusi only left 5,000 households, which were 1,000 households led by Wu Huping, Chen Guoqi, Jiang Ting, Feng Dingbang, and Xu Ning.

Zhu Youcheng gave an order. The people of the five thousand households gathered together, and Liu Jingting, who stayed behind, made a mobilization speech. Stop. Liu Jingting's eloquence is really good, in just a quarter of an hour, first talk about the atrocities of Jiannu, then talk about the suffering of the surname, and then talk about the significance of this expedition, which made the soldiers sometimes burst into tears. From time to time, he raised his arms and shouted, and his morale suddenly skyrocketed. It's a pity that Liu Jingting wants to stay in Xizhen Fusi to train deputy households and train banner soldiers, and he can't follow the army, otherwise Zhu Youcheng really wants to take him along.

The artillerymen also participated in the meeting, but the devilish training that began in the past two days had already caused no less than twenty gunners to withdraw from the Jinyi Guard. Hearing that an expedition to Liaodong was about to take place, more than a dozen gunners became deserters, and only 62 gunners remained in Jinyiwei. After repeatedly confirming that these 62 people really wanted to participate in the war, Zhu Youcheng was ready to bring them with him. Anyway, now there are 2o tiger squat cannons in the West Town Fusi, and then I will borrow 11 from the military department.

Compared with the lack of experience in the last expedition, Zhu Youcheng was very well prepared this time, first he did not bring too much grain and grass, but only brought a share for five days, because after returning to Beijing, he learned after a deep discussion with Li Chunye that the grain and grass that the troops went out to fight were not provided by themselves, but were allocated by the local governments passing through. Like when they were fighting, they brought their own grain and grass, and it was the first time in the Ming Dynasty. In order to travel lightly, grain and grass are saved. Zhu Youcheng thought, even if he arrived at Juehua Island, he was not afraid, there were 80,000 stones of grain there, and he couldn't eat it all if he changed the way to eat. Secondly, as for winter clothes, he did not need to prepare them temporarily, because every year he gave down jackets to the soldiers, and there were two for the soldiers, and one for the less. Zhu Youcheng repeatedly emphasized that down jackets are military supplies, and it is strictly forbidden to transfer, buy and sell, and often inspect, so there is no problem with winter clothes. As for the futon, it's even simpler, just roll up the one in the camp and wrap it up. Because it was a cavalry expedition, in order to save horsepower, Zhu Youcheng did not let the soldiers carry it, but put it in the carriage. As for other things, of course, they are also very complete, the so-called good at home for a thousand days, it is difficult to go out for a day, and now you are fully prepared, and you can fight smoothly when you fight outside.

It is worth mentioning that because of the rush of time, Li Datie did not complete the task of 4,000 grenades, and only made more than 2,700. Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but sigh that wars always burst out suddenly when they were not prepared. However, there is only that. The individual configuration of the grenadiers consisted of a waist knife, a two-meter long arque, and twenty grenades attached to a special belt. As for everything else, it is not worthy. There's no way, one grenade is one catty, twenty grenades are twenty catties, plus waist knives and fire ropes, people can stand it, and horses can't stand it. You must know that the muscles of Hercules are very heavy, and with the armor and equipment, the weight is not ordinarily heavy.

The last time I went to Cangzhou, there were only 2,000 people, and ten carriages were used, and this expedition to Liaodong, the number of carriages increased to ten, and Zhu Youcheng himself was a little funny, and he didn't go to war, what did he do with so many things.

Dengzhou Mansion is about 1,400 miles away from Beijing City, and it takes about 18 days to reach Dengzhou based on the calculation that the team travels 8o miles a day, and Dengzhou is more than 5oo miles away from Juehua Island, and it takes about five or six days by boat. I don't know how many Fu ships (large warships of the Ming Dynasty) are in Dengzhou, a Fu boat can transport 2oo cavalry at a time, Jin Yiwei went out to fight 5ooo people, plus ten carriages, if there are 3o Fu ships, probably the army can be put on Juehua Island at one time. Other words. Arrived at Juehua Island on the 8th day of November in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and there were still two full months before the Battle of Ningyuan, and even the shadow of Nuer Haqi could not be seen.

However, it's funny to be funny, it's better to be prepared than not to prepare, what if you delay a little longer?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse made a strong trip for Zhu Youcheng. A troop dispatch ceremony was also held, so Zhu Youcheng couldn't go directly from the Xizhen Mansion Division, so he had to pull people to Beijing first, and then go out from Deshengmen.

The city of Beijing has once again become a sensation, this time it is an expedition to Liaodong and a slave to fight, and the surnames are looking forward to the time to raise their eyebrows. Daming was pressed and fought by Jiannu for more than ten years, and he was finally able to counterattack. They didn't know that Zhu Youcheng was going to help Juehua Island withdraw his troops, if they knew. Then you have to secretly curse Zhu Youcheng for being greedy for life and afraid of death.

Zhu Youcheng looked at the old surnames on both sides of the street who raised their hands to say goodbye, and his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks. He was very ashamed, if there were another two years, Jinyiwei would train into an army, and he would immediately go to fight Jiannu. But now these 5,000 men and horses are not well trained, and he can't lead the soldiers to death. Therefore, when the king of faith was gone, his chest was held high. Full of confidence, and when Zhu Youcheng left. Dejected, full of shame.

Before the team reached the Desheng Gate, it suddenly stopped, and a cardhead soldier Pegasus came to report, saying that there was a woman in front of him who stopped the team.

Zhu Youcheng was already in a bad mood, and now he was even more angry. "Won't you drive her away?" ”

The head soldier of the card said hesitantly: "It's big, don't dare to mark it." ”

Zhu Youcheng was about to speak, when he saw the team in front of him split on both sides, and a woman walked slowly and said, "It's Mrs. Ben who is here." Don't you even see your mother? ”

This woman is wearing the crown of Mrs. Zhengsi, who is Zhu Youcheng's mother, Wei Honglian.

Zhu Youcheng rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said, "Cheng'er doesn't dare." ”

Wei Honglian had tears in her eyes and said, "Cheng'er, what's wrong with you, you don't say hello to your mother when you go on such a big event?" ”

Zhu Youcheng was a little flustered in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer.

Wei Honglian saw that he didn't speak, so she continued: "Are you afraid that your mother won't let you go to Liaodong because she doesn't know what is going on?" You go to fight the poor and vicious Jiannu, how can my mother stop you? I'm here to bring you a bowl of Zhuangxing wine. ”

She made a gesture of her hand, and a strong man holding the wine jar stepped forward behind her. She took the jar, took off the lid of the jar, and put it on the hand of the strong man, and it turned out that the lid was a large magnetic bowl. She picked up the jar and poured a full bowl of "coo dong coo dong".

Zhu Youcheng was a little embarrassed, he never drank alcohol, because alcohol would affect intelligence, and he also wanted to keep his smart mind for Daming.

Wei Honglian whispered: "Don't show your cowardice, it's honey water." ”

Zhu Youcheng is happy in his heart, or his mother understands himself best. So he pretended to be bold, took the big bowl from Wei Honglian's hand, drank the "wine" in one go, and then smashed the big bowl in the middle of the street with a "snap".

Zhu Youcheng turned over and got on the horse, he didn't notice that when Wei Honglian turned his back, two lines of tears flowed silently.

Wei Honglian retreated to the side of the street, and the team marched again. In the middle of the cavalry were ten carriages, the first few carriages were loaded with grain and grass, the following carriages were loaded with bedding, tents and other miscellaneous items, then there were coaches with 16o medical personnel, then the next carriages were loaded with grenades, shells, gunpowder, shells, tiger squatting guns, and the last carriage with 62 gunners. When a carriage passed Wei Honglian, a heroic female general jumped out of the carriage, who was Qingqing, a doctor of thousands of households.

Ke Qingqing helped Wei Honglian and said softly: "Aunt Wei, don't worry, I will take care of Lord Zhu." ”

As he spoke, Ke Qingqing shook Wei Honglian's hand vigorously, then hurried to catch up with the carriage, grabbed the handrail, and gently and skillfully turned over into the carriage. Seeing Ke Qingqing's neat movements, the surname next to him couldn't help but praise "good" in unison. (To be continued!)
