Chapter 220: Bait

Today's Jinyiwei has been valued by the Son of Heaven, the scale of personnel has increased several times, and the welfare benefits are much better than those of previous dynasties.

Although the secret spies of Jinyi Wei dare not say that they are all over the world, in Jingshi, Lei Yin really dares to pat his chest and guarantee that any trace of abnormality in Jingshi is known to Lao Tzu.

Jingshi is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, integrating political power, economy and culture, the east and east are dazzling, prosperous and lively, there are many bigwigs, officials go everywhere, the second generation is as many as dogs, the streets are full of readers, just throw a brick can hit one, the same, Jinyi Wei secret spies are also all over the city and outside the city, coupled with the Son of Heaven's special care for the Donglin Party, the Donglin Party's movements are naturally under the strict monitoring of the Jinyi Guard.

In fact, the Donglin Party borrowed so many private soldiers from the landlords, old rich gentry, and Haoqiang inside and outside the city, even if they were scattered and gathered on a remote path, the movement was still not small, and a little attention could be found all kinds of abnormalities, not to mention that there were a large number of brocade-clothed secret spies staring at the whole process.

As soon as Lei Zhenjiang received the report from his subordinates, he entered the palace as soon as he reported to the Son of Heaven, and Zhu Jian, Song Xiance and other advisory groups were able to guess the purpose of the Donglin Party according to the analysis of the situation in their hands.

Soon, a series of secret orders were issued from the imperial study, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Red Gang, etc. were quietly prepared, the first battalion of the Royal Guards Regiment went out of the city under the banner of military exercises, and went to meet the independent battalion of the Royal Guards under the command of Gao Jie, encircled and annihilated the rebels, the second battalion took over the city defense, and the third battalion entered the palace to assist the palace soldiers in guarding the palace in case of accidents.

Everyone is secretly making small movements under the table, but some people with a keen sense of smell still smell a trace of unusual smell from it, or smear oil on the soles of their feet and hide for a while, or honestly shrink at home, be low-key, and look at the situation before making another plan.

After the rain stopped, Gao Jie was about to order the whole army to set off from the camp, and several horsemen galloped over, led by the identity of the Jinyi Guard, and presented the secret letter of the Son of Heaven.

Gao Jie read the letter, both excited and annoyed, patted his thigh and scolded the thief Lao Tiankeng, you don't rain early or late, but at this critical juncture, what he is most worried about now is that the gunpowder will not sound when it is damp, this is a few days ago, the 10,000 rabble did not pay attention to it at all, he dared to take the initiative to lead the army to attack, but now, he can only honestly shrink here as bait.

After complaining, Gao Jie issued a series of orders, cutting down trees to build camps, digging trenches, rejecting horses, building fortifications, and stationing here for a long time, and at the same time sent several groups of scouts to reconnoitre, and sent a team of men and horses to nearby villages and towns to buy grain, meat and other daily necessities, and also reserved enough water for the whole army and horses to drink for three days.

"Here, here, and here, it's all demolished, and it can't be built too neatly." Gao Jie personally supervised the construction and inspected the soldiers to build the camp fence and other fortifications, this order made all the soldiers a little confused, the usual strict requirements of the general soldier turned out to be abnormal, the camp fence was built too well but unqualified, and the random construction of the pass passed, what is going on?

"Stupid, of course you're tempting the enemy...... Uh......" The grassroots officer who led the team scolded and trained his soldiers, he was a veteran of the battlefield, with experience and instinct, the chief soldier ordered this, it must have confused the enemy, but before he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, enemy, where is the enemy here?

This is already under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Division, it is three or four days away from the Beijing Division, the Beijing Division is heavily guarded, and there are strong cities around the pass to guard, if there are thieves running in, it will cause the government and the opposition to shake, but the thieves have already been defeated, and they have escaped without a trace, how can there be any enemy? What the hell is going on?

Several grassroots officers felt something abnormal, and ran to Shangguan to ask, and Shangguan asked again, and asked layer by layer, Gao Jie had to summon the middle and senior officers to explain, and everyone understood what was going on, and they all grinned, looking very happy and excited.

They were promoted from a new recruit to the current rank, it only took more than a year, and they did not have any background, and they were promoted by the accumulation of military merits, which further stimulated their determination and fighting spirit to go up.

"Boys, dig fortifications for Lao Tzu, and you're about to fight." As soon as the junior officers returned, they immediately announced the good news.

In the Ming Army, in addition to having a family background and a way, or hereditary, ordinary people want to be promoted, only by relying on the accumulation of military merits, and the source of military merit is only to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"What? Fight? "Among those soldiers who have not yet been on the battlefield, there are some people who are so frightened that their faces are so pale that there is no trace of blood, and they do not want to die when they fight.

"You eggless cowards, usually don't envy Lao Tzu for being able to shout at you, you get more monthly salary than you, can you eat meat and drink wine? Now the opportunity has come and you are scared like this? The officer scolded and reprimanded his soldiers, saying that the soldiers of the iron battalion and the flowing water, the soldiers are bearing, and the bears will be in a nest, what kind of generals bring out what kind of soldiers, in the army, simple and rude is sometimes the main principle, the management of soldiers is better, it is easier to arouse the morale of the army, the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

"It's all for Lao Tzu, you just need to obey orders, obey commands, and do what you usually train, survive this battle, you will be happy, I wish there were battles every day like Lao Tzu, hurry up and go to work."

The camp fence and other fortifications are still being built, and according to Gao Jie's requirements, the outermost camp fence is only sparsely inserted with some branches, and it is still crooked, which really makes people suspect that it is a dilapidated military camp left over from hundreds of years ago.

The same is true of the second layer of fortifications, which are not called real fortifications until the third and fourth layers, which are strong and sturdy, and the fourth and last layer, if they are broken by the enemy, the result will naturally be the total annihilation.

Gao Jie rode a high-headed horse back and forth in the camp, the expression on his face was quite complicated, both excited and a little lost, this was his first battle after returning to the Ming Dynasty, of course, he was excited and excited, and he wanted to perform well, so as to live up to the trust and reuse of the Son of Heaven in himself, but the order given to him by the Son of Heaven turned out to be to stand by and wait for help, attract the enemy, and not to fight too hard, scare the enemy away, and have to hold on until the Royal Guards arrived, and he could only attack after the rear bread, which made him feel a little lost.

The Holy Order did not dare to disobey, and if he wanted to continue to mix and glorify his ancestors, the only choice was to hold on to the thick dragon legs of the Son of Heaven and be honest as a bait.
