In the Daming Palace, the Wenhua Palace, the Wuying Palace, the Taihe Palace, and the Imperial Study are all hung with a huge number, and this number will be reduced by one every day, which is the countdown to the expedition.

Bai Minghe returned to the capital, and the official uniform on his body was not his small civil official uniform from Liupin, but the Dongchang Governor's uniform with a python.

Wuying Palace, Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu sits at the top position,

"Hooray, all the food and grass are ready." Jin Lian, the head of the household, was the first to come out to speak, and there is a saying since ancient times, the army has not moved the grain and grass first.

All the departments have reported one by one, and all preparations have been prepared.

After Yu Qian's report, he took out a notebook: "Long live, the generals of each army have been decided, only the commander and the vanguard are left." ”

"The minister recommended Luo Tong as a pioneer." Bai Minghe said at this time. He had watched the various armies maneuver, and Luo Tong's men had the worst firearms, but they had the best riding skills, which were very suitable for surprise attacks, and the work of running away if they could not be beaten. In particular, Bai Minghe has heard the rumors of Luo Tong, this person is not the kind of desperate general.

Luo Tong, a pioneer recommended by Bai Minghe, is now in his sixties. is both civil and military, but this big mouth makes him unable to reach the extreme of a military general. There is no possibility of being handsome.

This person is not big-eyed, Yu Qian once recommended him to go to Gansu to work, but he thought that he didn't want to go there.

After Yu Qian and Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty quickly made an exchange with their eyes, Zhu Qiyu made a decision on the spot: "This is decided, wait in front of the Luotong Palace." ”

Yu Qian and Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty did not ask for detailed reasons, a pioneer candidate, and Bai Minghe and Luo Tong have no personal relationship, in the past, Bai Minghe recommended candidates have no selfishness, this time I also believe that there will be no selfishness, only 5,000 people are in the vanguard, Luo Tong can still be competent.

The candidate for the pioneer has been decided. Before the eunuch had gone out to speak, there was a commotion outside the door.

A eunuch entered the hall: "Long live, General Zhu Qian, who has been recuperating at home for nearly a year, carried the coffin outside the Wuying Palace." ”

"This General Zhu?" The white crane really didn't know it, and he hadn't even heard of it.

Sitting here are the Ming Emperor, the thirteen ministers of the cabinet, and the white crane. This is a major matter to discuss the country, and people like Xing'an are internal officials. powerful, but it is not suitable to appear at this time, and civil officials will not be willing to let eunuchs participate in state affairs, at least on the surface.

Hearing Bai Minghe's question, Yu Qian gave Bai Minghe a brief introduction.

This General Zhu Qian was not the main force when he was in the Tumubao Change, but he participated in this war, even if he was not in the main war, but in the continuous battles that followed. His men suffered heavy casualties. Then he directly participated in the defense of Beijing, and he made meritorious contributions.

He has been in the army for many years and has been injured countless times.

Because of these injuries, his physical condition is very poor, and it can be said that his current physical condition is no longer enough to lead the army to fight. So he was given a preferential treatment, and after being promoted by two levels, he was allowed to go home to recuperate. But Zhu Qian did not leave the capital, and has been living in the house in the capital.

Introducing this, Yu Qian said again: "Since we planned to use troops against the tile spurs, he often asked people to carry them to the military headquarters, but he didn't ask anything. I didn't say anything, I stayed in the military department for half a day and then went back. "Say it. Yu Qian sighed: "I understand his heart." ”

Without going into details, this General Zhu must have a lot in his heart.

Bai Minghe said at this time: "He went to the battlefield, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back." ”

"He didn't plan to come back!" Yu Qian also said.

The entire hall was completely silent, and the most difficult thing to fight in this era was not to face the enemy army, but to face the unknowable environment, as well as those weather changes that people could not imagine at all. And the most terrible thing is getting sick. With Zhu Qian's current physical state, this time he will die for life, even if he stays in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Let him go!" Chen Xun opened his mouth and said: "If the best friends around the old man are all left on the battlefield, I am afraid that the old man will not live alone. If you live to live something, let's do it! ”

"Where's the location?" Wang Wen asked.

"Staff officer of the Chinese army!" Yu Qian thought that if he was placed as a staff officer of the Chinese army, Zhu Qian had the greatest possibility of coming back alive.

Bai Minghe asked: "How can the medical officer talk about the current state of General Zhu Qian?" ”

"The medical officer's statement is. He should have died. Yu Qian said bluntly, according to the medical officer's medical case, such a physical state had been instructed to his family to prepare for the aftermath a year ago, but now he is still alive.

Bai Minghe stood up and faced Emperor Ming Shili: "Long live, the minister thinks that General Zhu has left a breath for himself right now, and people also live by this breath." Since he is a hero who has contributed to the Ming Dynasty, he should naturally have some preferential treatment, and the minister asked Long Live to allow General Zhu Qian to be the left vanguard, and let Fan Liang give him his deputy. ”

"Feasible!" Chen Xun was the first to support Bai Minghe, and the rest of them sighed slightly.

Needless to say, this is not so much to let Zhu Qian go to the battlefield, but to choose a place for Zhu Qian to die.

Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty did not speak, but it does not mean that he was not moved in his heart.

Bai Minghe also slowly found that the Ming Dynasty he saw was different from the TV performances in many later generations, and the TV initially described the Ming Dynasty as a terrible dynasty of corruption, eunuch poison, civil officials black, and military generals drinking the blood of soldiers. can only say that these people in front of them, as well as those civil and military officials outside the palace, at least more than seventy percent of them are ready to sacrifice their lives to Daming at any time.

Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty took a pen and wrote a few words on paper.

"White Crane, run an errand for me." Here is the youngest white crane, and it is not appropriate for the eunuch to take out the things written on this piece of paper, only the white crane is the most suitable.

Outside the door, there is the large square in the outer courtyard of the palace, and there will be no crowding if there are thousands of people standing here.

The door opened, attracting countless eyes.

Bai Minghe walked out of the door, holding the piece of paper in the palm of his hand with one hand, and walked down the steps step by step. Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Bai Minghe's hand, and they were also looking at the expression on Bai Minghe's face.

Bai Minghe didn't know Zhu Qian, but he saw the coffin. Slowly walked up to the coffin, put the piece of paper on the coffin with both hands, and took a deep breath. The words that I had thought of in the hall were under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, but I didn't know what to say again.

Putting down the paper, Bai Minghe turned around and slowly walked towards the Wuying Palace.

No one moved, no one spoke, and no one walked towards the coffin until Bai Minghe entered the Martial Spirit Hall and the gate was closed by the forbidden army.

The door of the Wuying Hall was closed, and inside the door, Bai Minghe heard a shout: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

"As a soldier, it's a pride to die on the battlefield. I think that countless famous generals in China for thousands of years have left immortal feats and thousands of years of good reputation. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have been famous like a cloud. It is a pity that the national strength is not good, first lost Annam, and then the Miao people made chaos and the southwest was unstable. The northern grasslands are eyeing each other and regard my Ming Dynasty as meat on a plate. The various departments of Liaodong are ambitious, and my Ming Liaodong capital exists in name only. Chen Xun said to himself.

After saying this, Chen Xun stood up.

"Daming will rewrite the glory from today, and there will be a place on this monument for Zhu Qian's name. It will also write your name on Yu Qian, and of course, ......"

Chen Xun stopped, he looked at the white crane and bowed.

Bai Minghe hurriedly stepped aside and saluted back: "Gong Chen, you have killed the juniors." ”

"This time, the coach nominated the white crane." Chen Xun's sentence just now was not shocking, Da Ming can march north now, and the grain and grass are sufficient, and the military salary is innumerable. Moreover, there are mountains of silver in the capital, and the problem of military spending does not exist at all. These are the merits of the white cranes, especially the victory over Wajima, which made the surrender of the Lee family Goryeo even more humble.

Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty reproduces its glory, then there will be the name of the white crane on the monument.

But the boss!

Known as a million army, the elite of the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, and ninety percent of the Beijing army went to war. The defense force of the capital of the Ming Dynasty can be lost, and the current strength of the Beijing army is no longer the soldiers of the guard, but recruited from the whole country of the Ming Dynasty, which is also the beginning of the recruitment of troops in the Ming Dynasty.

This is the most elite force, and the white crane has just turned twenty.

The ministers looked at the reactions of others, especially Yu Qian and Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it seemed that these two had some agreement with Chen Xun's mention. But if you think about it, it is not impossible for Bai Minghe to be the coach, at least the nominal coach.

All the important ministers were thinking, but no one spoke. At this time, if anyone stands up to support it again, or Bai Minghe responds directly, then the position of the coach of the Northern Expedition may be Bai Minghe's.

Bai Minghe didn't speak, he lowered his head and thought.

The content of Bai Minghe's thinking is to fight a war based on firearms, and use the power of weapons to suppress the tile thorns. To create a precedent for the new war mode of the Ming Dynasty, when ordinary commanders were selected according to their armaments, Bai Minghe thought that they were still stuck in strong armor and sharp knives.

Hu Hu leaned sideways closer to Gao Gu and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?" ”

"It's hard to say, the white crane is also a masterpiece. But too young, not about seniority, but in case of too much adversity, can the white crane hold on? Besides, if you have to choose one of the two, can Bai Minghe be ruthless when he gives up a certain team? You must know that the boss is not a general! ”

Gao Gu's words Hu Hu agreed, in fact, he also considered that Bai Minghe was too young.

It's not just a lack of experience, it's more a maturity of mind.

Wang Wen persuaded Yang Ning on the other side, and the reason for Wang Wen's persuasion was that the strategic thinking of the use of firearms was definitely ahead of everyone, and this time the reuse of firearms to fight against the white crane must have some cleverness. Moreover, this great cause of the Northern Expedition was single-handedly promoted by Bai Minghe, so this coach is feasible, and he only needs to choose an old person to assist.

Yang Ning nodded, he couldn't help but say that Wang Wen's words were reasonable.

At this time, Bai Minghe raised his head: "Long live, the minister has something to say." (To be continued......)
