Duan Fei read out the holy decree in the camp, Qi Chen received the order, accompanied by Wu Le and Ben Wu, the soldiers in the left and right halls of the two official halls gathered on a large playground, Qi Chen began to order troops, he was very familiar with the strength of the twelve battalions under the command of the left and right halls, and directly ordered the officers and soldiers of the three battalions of the Yaowu battalion, the dare to brave battalion, and the Yangwei battalion came out, and picked out the brave and agile ones, gathered enough five thousand people, and formed an array to come to Duan Fei.

It took less than a quarter of an hour from the beginning of the counting of troops to the completion of the twelve battalions, and there were more than 60,000 people in the 12th battalion, from which 5,000 people were drawn, and the queue was neat and disorderly during the period, which showed that these soldiers were well-trained, and Qi Chen, who commanded them, did have some ability.

Qi Chen came to hand over the order after completing the order, Duan Fei took the general's order, and said to the soldiers in front of him: "This official is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Duan Fei, I think everyone has heard of me, today this official was ordered to send 5,000 people to Shanxi on business, this official personally went out, definitely not to take you to enjoy the blessings, everyone must have a preparation in their hearts, if you are worried about danger, quit the queue now, this official will never force everyone to take risks, but once you decide to follow this official, you can't regret it!" ”

Duan Fei paused for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Are there any people who are greedy for life and afraid of death and want to quit?" ”

The five thousand soldiers were stunned, and then suddenly shouted in unison: "No! ”

Some people shouted: "My lord, being a soldier is not afraid of death, and being afraid of death is not a soldier, most of us are transferred from the border gates, what scene have you never seen?" Rest assured, my lord, there are no soldiers in the two official halls! ”

Duan Fei said with satisfaction: "Okay, then the officer wants to see how well your musket array is trained and whether it can withstand the test of actual combat, Qi Chen, you come to command, come to a live-fire exercise." ”

Qi Chen received the order and immediately dismissed the five thousand people and gave them half an hour to prepare.

Half an hour later, the five thousand men returned to the playground in array, with more guns in their hands, two more leather bags with gunpowder and projectiles on their waists, and a bundle of arquebuses on their bodies.

After finishing the formation, Qi Chen began to explain the main points of the play, assuming that the enemy was the Tatar cavalry, and the number was more than five times......

Qi Chen responded with three stacks of waves, in the deafening gunfire, Duan Fei carefully observed the changes in their array, whether the soldiers were skilled enough to change the bullets on the gunpowder, to see if their shooting at distant targets was accurate, and after the five thousand soldiers fired twice, Duan Fei said to Qi Chen with satisfaction: "You can tell them to stop, the training is good, I hope that the battlefield can also maintain such a level, bring them together, and the official will have to say a few words to them." ”

Qi Chen issued an order to regather the five thousand people in front of Duan Fei, Duan Fei raised his voice and said: "Everyone's performance is very good, the official is very satisfied, I hope you can maintain such a level on the battlefield, and now the official announces that you, the five thousand people, together with Qi Chen, will temporarily leave the two official halls, and temporarily call it the Shenshu Battalion, and go to Shanxi with the official tomorrow, you only have half a day to deal with family affairs, whoever is late tomorrow will be dealt with by military law, understand no!" ”

"Understood!" Five thousand replied in unison.

"Disband!" Duan Fei shouted, these five thousand people were disbanded immediately, and among them, the captain and the commander of the hundred, the commander of the thousand, all gathered over, Duan Fei told them to bring enough ammunition and personal outfit on their bodies, and other things, they had their own brocade guards to prepare and arrange.

After Duan Fei left the camp of the Liangguan Hall, he immediately rushed to the Jinyi Guard and Shenji Camp to make some arrangements, to prepare for a big battle, the time of the day was still too hasty.

However, early the next morning, Duan Fei still left the capital with the five thousand Shenshu battalion soldiers and a long baggage convoy and rushed to Shanxi.

After leaving the Beijing Division, the Shenshu battalion quickly whipped up and went to Shanxi, and the baggage behind could go slowly, take over the Taiyuan Guard, and then rush to Datong to quell the mutiny, but it could not be delayed.

After two days and one night of hurrying, Duan Fei took the Shenshu camp to the vicinity of Taiyuan Mansion, there are three guards near Taiyuan, Taiyuan left guard and right guard are stationed in Shouyang County and Qingyuan County, Taiyuan Wei is stationed in the suburbs of Yangqu County, Taiyuan Prefecture, very close to Taiyuan Mansion, almost a wall away (now Yangqu County has been moved to the north of Taiyuan), if Taiyuan Wei suddenly reverses, the unprepared Taiyuan City will be lost within half a day, Taiyuan as an important city of defense against Tatar, The hoarding of a large amount of food and weapons will fall into the hands of the Maitreya Sect, with the tall city walls, the Maitreya army can attack and retreat, and it will be a headache for the Shu army.

Li Fuda was painstakingly prepared and prepared, and he was already preparing to start an incident and cooperate with the northern Tatars to seize the Great Tomorrow, but unfortunately God didn't help him, let him encounter a providence and not let him succeed, and let him be planted in Duan Fei's hands.

On a hill where he could see the Taiyuan Wei station from afar, Duan Fei observed with a telescope for a while, and ordered, "Bring Zhang Yin up." ”

The neatly dressed 'Zhang Yin' slowly walked behind Duan Fei, hugged his fists and said, "Xiaguan Zhang Yin, see Lord Qincha." ”

Duan Fei turned around, glanced at Zhang Yin, and said: "Zhang Yin, although you are just a stand-in, but Li Fuda usually asks you to stay in the barracks for him, so no one should be able to see your true or false, you just need to behave like a normal day, go in and immediately gather the troops to announce that this official will take over Taiyuan Wei by order, remember?" ”

Zhang Yin bowed down and said: "Xiaguan understands, don't worry, Xiaguan has always kept a distance from others, except for Li Fuda and his three sons, no one knows my details, and no one will doubt it." ”

Duan Fei nodded and ordered: "Okay, everyone get on the horse, stay vigilant, the fire folds are ready, but you must not act rashly without the order of the official." ”

Everyone agreed loudly, Duan Fei rode on the jade unicorn, and rushed to the Taiyuan Wei garrison accompanied by Zhang Yin, Qi Chen, Hua Ming, Wang Zuo and other generals.

The Qincha team stopped outside Taiyuan Weizhong, which had already received a report from Kuaima, and the two deputy generals Chai Qianjie and Shen Qingde led the team to meet them.

Duan Fei put on a high-minded and cold demeanor, disdainful of these two Maitreya fellows, turned his head to Zhang Yin and said, "Lord Zhang, explain that they have summoned everyone in Taiyuan Wei, and this official will announce the decree in public." ”

Zhang Yin stepped forward and gave a few words to Chai Qianjie and Shen Qingde, but the two of them didn't dare to slack off, and retreated to Duan Fei, running back to the camp faster than they came out.

Zhang Yin took Duan Fei's Qincha Brigade into the Taiyuan Guard, the sophisticated equipment and mighty formation of the Shenshu Battalion made the soldiers of the Taiyuan Guard envious, only to hear the shouts one after another, all the soldiers of the Taiyuan Guard put down their work, and set up a line in the camp training ground to welcome the arrival of Lord Qincha.

The Ming Dynasty guards were as many as more than 300 at most, and the original soldiers were about 5,600 people per guard, but as time went by, the situation was different in various places, and this consistent situation was long gone, the most typical is the Jinyi Guard, which reached 150,000 people at its most, and after many layoffs for Duan Fei, there were more than 50,000 direct subordinates, although Taiyuan Wei did not have so many, but because its location was very important, it was an important force to guard Taiyuan, so its soldiers were more than twice as large as the original, close to 16,000 people, And it's all solid, unlike other guards, where there are 5,000 people to eat, and in fact, half of them are good.

Most of these sixteen,000 people are now lined up in front of Duan Fei, from the speed of their formation and the spirit after the formation, it can be seen that this is really a well-trained team, although the overall quality of equipment and soldiers is far inferior to the Shenshu battalion brought by Duan Fei, but it is much stronger than the ordinary guards.

Duan Fei didn't have time to think about it, Zhang Yin had already come to the front and said to Duan Fei: "My lord, Taiyuan Wei has been summoned, please come forward and read the holy will!" ”

Duan Fei came to the front of the 16,000 soldiers of Taiyuan Wei, and glanced at it, then calmly unfolded the holy decree and read it: "Feng ...... Day Carrier...... The emperor edicted...... There was a riot in Datong Guard, and I specially ordered the Jinyi Guards to command Duan Fei, and cooperated with Xia Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to lead the Shenshu Battalion and the Taiyuan Sanwei to Datong to appease him, and gave Duan Fei a sword of Shang Fang, holding the sword of Shang Fang, you can act cheaply, and for officials below the second grade and people outside the royal family, you have the right to cut first and then play, Qin this! ”

All the soldiers of the Taiyuan guard knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”

Hearing the Maitreya Sect's 'rebel bandits' shouting Long live, Duan Fei's heart flashed a trace of absurdity, and he shouted: "From now on, this official will take over Taiyuan Wei, where is Zhang Yin!" ”

Zhang Yin stepped forward and bowed down and said, "The lower official is here, what do you command?" ”

Duan Fei said: "This official appointed you as the deputy general of Zhaofu, the commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan Sanwei people, and accompanied the official to Datong to quell the rebellion." ”

Zhang Yin said: "Xiaguan...... Oh no, obedience! My lord, do you want to take away 16,000 soldiers of Taiyuan Wei? ”

Duan Fei said: "Yes, the total strength of the Taiyuan Sanwei is less than 50,000, and then in addition to the empty salary, there are the old, weak, sick and disabled, I am afraid that even 40,000 is not enough, Datong has 60,000 garrisons alone, plus its surrounding guards, there are more than 100,000 troops, and the border army is good at fighting, the emperor asked me to take the Taiyuan Sanwei to pacify, in order not to put too much pressure on the rioting soldiers, but we can't be so weak that we have no power to fight back, these soldiers in front of us are still elite, all take them to Datong." ”

Zhang Yin hesitated: "My lord, but Taiyuan Wei is related to the safety of Taiyuan, if they are all gone, once something happens......

Duan Fei said: "This official will send people to transfer troops from other places, you don't have to care, you just order the soldiers to prepare to leave the camp, and send people to Taiyuan left and right guards, select two elite generals, and gather outside the Taiyuan Wei camp tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Yin said: "Obey orders!" Chai Qianjie, Shen Qingde, come here! ”

Chai Qianjie and Shen Qingde came to Zhang Yin, Zhang Yin gave them a look, and instructed them to go to Taiyuan left and right guards with the order of Lord Qincha to gather soldiers and horses, the two of them were ready to set off after receiving the order, Zhang Yin made an excuse to leave for a while, and when he came back, he whispered to Duan Fei: "My lord, it has been done, they are going to recruit them, not the left and right two guards, but ...... Alas......"
