Coincidentally.

Zhu Youzhen's recruitment order and recruitment order.

It's not just Zheng Sen, Xia Yunyi, Chen Zilong, etc. who responded positively.

and Zhang Huangyan in Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture.

Zhang Huangyan was promoted two years ago, and now he is only 24 years old, and he is the pride of his family.

But now he resolutely chooses to go to Huai'an to join the army.

Zhang Huangyan was afraid that his mother would not agree, so he had to come out quietly late at night and take over the burden from his younger brother:

"Is Mother asleep?"

Before Zhang Huangyan's younger brother could answer, his mother suddenly pushed open the door: "It seems that I really can't keep you!" Your parents are here, not far away, you really can't bear to say goodbye like this, abandon your mother, and go to be a soldier! ”

Zhang Huangyan didn't expect that he was still discovered by his mother, so he had to kneel down:

"Mother forgives, the child is not filial, but the child is full of poetry and books, and now he is an official, His Majesty has an edict, the child does not dare not go, and cannot not go, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety dilemma, please mother fulfillment!"

Zhang He couldn't help but stomp his cane a few times, pointed at Zhang Huangyan and couldn't speak for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, remember to bring letters home from time to time." ”

"Thank you, Mother!"

Zhang Huangyan kowtowed three times to his mother, then got up to take the burden from his brother, held a strong bow, and rode away.

Although he is a scholar, Zhang Huangyan has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is even better at archery, so even if he was called to Huai'an, he also brought a strong bow in his hand.

The man is determined to go out of the country, and he vows not to return it if he is not famous.

Yan Yingyuan, the former pawn of Jiangyin County, pushed the recommendation letter of the county magistrate Lin Zhiji recommending him to be a household clerk:

"Thank you for the kindness of the county, the lower officials have received it, if the son intends to recruit troops today, the lower officials also want to give it a try, and it may be better to kill the Tartars than to punish the strong and eliminate the evil here."

"You can abandon literature and martial arts, in the end, you are at the bottom, although you are just a classic history, but it is better than going to be the top eight of Qiu", Lin Zhiji persuaded.

Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but smile: "What's the difference between being this junior official and Qiu Ba, I'm Ming to the point where I am today, why don't it have anything to do with the hundreds of years of worship and suppression of martial arts in the national dynasty, even if I am Qiu Ba, as long as I can protect my Daming Jiangshan Sheji, it's nothing, farewell!" ”

Yan Yingyuan said and left the Jiangyin County Ya.

At this time, Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun walked over to each other: "Brother Yan, where are you going?" ”

"Go to Huai'an, such as recruiting troops in Huai'an today, calling on the world's talents to gather to save the Ming Dynasty, I Yan Yingyuan is also a hot-blooded son, how can I survive in this Jiangyin County, you are my former friends, but it's a pity that Yan is in a hurry, and I can't drink goodbye to the two and say goodbye!"

Yan Yingyuan didn't have time to step away before he finished speaking.

Chen Mingyu stopped Yan Yingyuan: "Brother Yan, wait, I'll go with you, I also read the notice, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, if today's son is personally recruited, how can I Chen Mingyu be left behind!" ”

"I'm also a hot-blooded man, Brother Yan, I'll go with you too!" Feng Houdun hurriedly shouted.

Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but applaud loudly, and hugged the two of them fiercely: "Early tomorrow morning, let's go together!" ”

……

At this time, the Huai'an Mansion was already full of people.

From the prince to the cabinet of scholars, scholars, scholars, and governors, almost all of them are bigwigs in the Ming military circles.

Except for Zuo Liangyu, who did not sell Zhu Youzhen's face, and He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang who was controlled by Zuo Liangyu, they did not come, and they were basically all here.

This court discussion on military reform can be regarded as the highest-level military conference of the Ming Dynasty.

The prefect of Huai'an could only stand outside the hall to pour tea and water, and he couldn't even enter the outer hall door.

Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, personally guarded the inner hall, and even arranged firearms and crossbowmen on the eaves of the surrounding walls.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has not yet come.

However, the civil and military ministers standing in the hall were not as lively as they imagined when their colleagues met.

It was not only Zhu Youzhen's speech in the morning that made these officials full of enthusiasm, thinking about how to win a thousand miles in the future.

But I don't know whether Zhu Youzhen intentionally or unintentionally, the civil and military system of the Ming army system at this time is very complicated.

Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, all the senior military attaches in the system, and Gao Jie and Liu Fangliang and other generals who belonged to the Ming Dynasty fought each other for a lifetime, and naturally they couldn't pee in a pot at this time.

Ma Shiying is a eunuch, Li Banghua is a member of the Donglin Party, Lu Zhenfei has been unclear recently, fighting for the interests of the Donglin Party for a while, competing for the interests of the eunuch party for a while, and claiming to be the imperial party, in short, the civil officials can't hold each other to greet each other.

Fan Jingwen and Wu Xian were better, and they each told each other what they experienced when they went south.

Zhou Yuji also chatted with Huang Degong about his escort, saying how wise His Majesty was, and for some reason trusted him so much, he was quickly transferred back to Beijing to participate in the extermination of the traitorous party Wei Zaode and others.

"Your Majesty stretches out your feet", Chen Yuanyuan put a basin of hot water in front of Zhu Youzhen, took off his shoes and socks for Zhu Youzhen, hugged them to his chest and massaged them vigorously, and then put them in hot water to soak, and then changed to the other foot.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but slightly touch a soft place on Chen Yuanyuan's chest with his foot, and Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but blush slightly, and snorted: "Your Majesty, please be serious, don't let the ministers wait." ”

"Let them wait a little longer, no matter what party or feud they used to have, now they are all eating in a manger, and they all have to run in and run in with each other."

Saying that, Zhu Youzhen suddenly got up and looked at Chen Yuanyuan: "Do you like me or not!" ”

Chen Yuanyuan's heart was beating non-stop, and she was also distracted when she was heating the water with Zhu Youjian.

"Ouch, hot! Don't add it! ”

Chen Yuanyuan was shouted back to his senses by Zhu Youzhen, and he hurriedly stopped adding water with a red face: "Your Majesty, don't joke casually in the future, the slave and maid can't afford it." ”

"It's also that I'm not free now, if I have time, I'll accept you sooner or later, watching beauties wander around all day long, it's a monk who has attained Taoism, and he has to break his vows!"

Zhu Youzhen picked up the song and was about to flip through it, but saw Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, walk in.

Now Zhu Youzhen basically let Dongchang Wang Chengen be responsible for the domestic intelligence investigation of the Ming Dynasty and the traitorous and rebellious affairs, and let Jinyiwei command the envoy Li Ruolian who is also the Fusi of Beizhen, and carry out the edict prison interrogation for Wang Chengen, and at the same time Li Ruolian is also responsible for Zhu Youzhen's security issues; Wu Mengming led most of the forces of the Jinyi Guard and collected intelligence from the north, especially important information related to the enemy.

Therefore, when Zhu Youzhen saw Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, coming, he also guessed that the battle situation in the north must have changed again, so he hurriedly asked Chen Yuanyuan to step back, and he also sat up.

"Your Majesty, Li Zicheng has gathered his forces and is ready to lead the army south to Huguang, and has the ambition to seize Jiangnan, but his adviser Li Yan has not succeeded in opposing it; Zhang Xianzhong has been called the emperor of Sichuan, the founding of the Great West, the Jiannu Shunzhi Emperor has also arrived in Beijing, and now has issued an edict of the world, and there is a great posture of being the master of the Central Plains Dynasty. ”

Wu Mengming replied.
