Chapter 450: The Ming Royal Caravan

Immediately, I saw that Yu Lin Wei came forward and dragged the wailing Xiao Dezi out, Xiao Dezi was deeply favored by Zhu Houzhao, so that he acted quite perversely, and naturally offended a group of people.

It's just that everyone has nothing to do with Xiao Dezi, but this doesn't mean that Xiao Dezi has no enemies.

At present, Xiao Dezi's actions fell into Chu Yi's eyes, but they touched Chu Yi's bottom line.

Chu Yi spent a lot of effort to introduce Zhu Houzhao into the formality, and he had a bit of a Ming Jun, but Xiao Dezi actually showed signs of becoming a generation of eunuchs.

Not to mention whether Xiao Dezi will be able to become a power eunuch in the future, but it is not a good thing for Zhu Houzhao to favor an arrogant servant like Xiao Dezi.

It is said that it is difficult to learn well, and it is very easy to learn badly, in order to influence Zhu Houzhao, so that Zhu Houzhao can be on the right track, and there is a faint possibility of becoming a Ming Jun, and a little virtuous son actually appeared on the way.

For some of Xiao Dezi's deeds, Chu Yi obviously couldn't have not understood, but he was afraid of Zhu Houzhao's face, Chu Yi didn't move Xiao Dezi.

But he never thought that Xiao Dezi would be so unrestrictive, and he suddenly hit Chu Yi's muzzle, after all, how Xiao Dezi behaves on weekdays, Chu Yi didn't encounter it, and now in front of Chu Yi and others, Xiao Dezi is still so arrogant, if Chu Yi doesn't react, it will be a strange thing.

Seeing that Xiao Dezi was dragged down, Yang Yiqing, who left Beijing with Zhu Houzhao, and several other nobles showed a little smile on their faces.

Xungui has risen, but everyone has not forgotten the situation of being suppressed by civil officials before, and now the reason why Xungui has a seat above the court is precisely because of the strong support of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao.

If Zhu Houzhao, the emperor who is expected to make the rise of the Xungui group, become a faint monarch, Yang Yiqing can guarantee that those civil officials will never let go of the opportunity to suppress the Xungui group.

In front of the camp gate, several soldiers who were stunned by this scene looked at Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao one by one in disbelief.

Although they had guessed that the identities of Chu Yi and the others were good, they never dreamed that the people who were stopped by them outside the barracks were the current son and the martial king Chu Yi and others.

Chu Yi stepped forward and showed a token, nodded slightly at the pale soldiers and said, "This is a token, you can check it!" ”

I saw that the Wu Commander took the token from Chu Yi's hand with trembling hands, and after checking it tremblingly, he knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and the others with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know Taishan with my eyes, but I don't know that Your Majesty is coming, it is really a crime that deserves death, and a crime that deserves death......

Those soldiers were already frightened, and at this moment, they saw their own army commander kneeling on the ground, almost instinctively kneeling on the ground and bowing to Zhu Houzhao and the others.

Zhu Houzhao turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to help the captain up, and said to several soldiers at the same time: "Soldiers, please get up quickly, you are loyal to your duties, what is the crime?" ”

Those soldiers trembled and knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up at all, after all, in their opinion, what they had done before was to stop the Holy Driver, and they were afraid that they would lose their heads.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao asked them to get up, but no one dared to believe it, so naturally they knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

Chu Yi stepped forward and looked at a few people and said in a deep voice: "You have no jokes, Your Majesty said that you are not guilty, you are innocent, and you are loyal to your duties, not only are you not guilty, but you are meritorious." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded when he heard this: "What the eldest companion said is very true, several soldiers have meritorious service, and they have been promoted to three levels as an officer, and they have been passed on to the whole army as a commendation. ”

Those soldiers felt that all this was like a dream, first they consciously angered the Son of Heaven, there was only one way to die, and their hearts sank into the valley, but in a blink of an eye, Chu Yi and the Son of Heaven actually told them that they were not guilty, and even Zhu Houzhao wanted to reward them, naturally it was like in a dream.

"Your Majesty......"

Yang Yiqing, as the secretary of the military department, is nominally the official of these soldiers, glanced at these soldiers and said: "Your Majesty, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you get up and apologize to Your Majesty!" ”

At this time, a few soldiers who were like in a dream were able to relax slightly, their eyes swept over Chu Yi and the others, and they secretly glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and found that Zhu Houzhao had a little smile on his face, not the angry face they imagined, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness King Xie Wu!"

The movement at the gate of the camp was not small, and at this moment, I saw Sun Qiu, who was ordered to sit in the barracks, hurrying over with a few generals, and saw Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao at the gate from a distance.

When they saw Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao and others, Sun Qiu and several other generals couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts.

Chu Yi gave them the task of training the soldiers, if something went wrong when Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao came to check, they would be the unlucky ones.

Chu Yi couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, don't look at Sun Qiu and the others, they could be regarded as Chu Yi's descendants, but once something went wrong, Chu Yi wouldn't talk to him about anything, and he would definitely deal with it as it should be.

"The last general will wait to see Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wu, I am late to welcome you, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me."

Zhu Houzhao flicked his hand slightly and motioned for Sun Qiu and a few people to get up, and then said to Sun Qiu: "These soldiers can stick to their positions and fulfill their duties, I am very happy, I have already promised a few people to be promoted to the third level, but Nan Anbo should not forget!" ”

Sun Qiu's heart couldn't help but fall when he heard this, he was afraid that these guards guarding the camp gate would do something against military discipline.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression and reaction now, it is obvious that things are not as bad as he imagined.

"The last general thanked His Majesty on their behalf!"

While speaking, Sun Qiu and the others turned slightly sideways towards Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi and the others: "Your Majesty, the chief manager, please enter the camp!" ”

Entering the barracks, a solemn aura suddenly came to the face, one after another barracks lined up, and along the way, you could see a group of non-commissioned soldiers patrolling the barracks, which can be described as orderly.

Just looking at these, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but nod his head, as an emperor who is interested in expanding the territory and aiming at Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di, Zhu Houzhao naturally can't have any understanding of military strategy.

As for what the Ming army looked like, in fact, Zhu Houzhao also knew it in his heart, otherwise, Zhu Houzhao would not have ordered the rectification of the Beijing camp not long after he ascended the throne, and transferred the elite of the border town to form the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion.

It is precisely because of the understanding of the current situation of the Ming army that Zhu Houzhao feels even more that it is not easy to have such an orderly atmosphere in this recruit camp.

The recruits themselves need time to train and restrain themselves, and if they don't have some ability, not to mention anything else, I'm afraid that the most basic order of these 100,000 recruits alone can't be maintained, let alone any training.

Yang Yiqing and the others looked at the surrounding scene, with a little surprise in their eyes, obviously deeply surprised that Sun Qiu and other generals were able to manage a new barracks in such an orderly manner.

Yang Yiqing couldn't help but admire: "No wonder the chief manager recommended Nan Anbo to His Majesty to preside over the training of the new army, but the old man didn't know that Nan Anbo had such an ability to train the army!" ”

When Sun Qiu heard this, he couldn't help but salute Yang Yiqing with a humble face: "Lord Shangshu has praised it falsely, His Majesty and the chief manager of the last general are trustworthy, and they should do their best, lest they disappoint Your Majesty and the chief manager." Compared with Lord Shangshu's strategy, the last general is far inferior to ......."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laugh when he heard the conversation between Yang Yiqing and Sun Qiu on the side, and looked at Sun Qiu with great appreciation while laughing: "What the Duke of Jin said is not bad, I didn't expect Nan Anbo to have such a ability to train soldiers, when it comes to knowing people, I am far inferior to my big companion!" ”

Under Sun Qiu's guidance and introduction, Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi and others spent half a day walking through the entire barracks and had a detailed understanding of the situation of the new army.

A barracks appeared in everyone's sight, it was Sun Qiu's big tent in the new military camp, this barracks was not much different except that it was larger than the barracks of those soldiers.

Entering the barracks, everyone sat down, Zhu Houzhao looked at Sun Qiu and other generals with an expectant look and said: "Nan Anbo, I see that these soldiers already have a bit of a military appearance, I don't know how long it will take to become an army?" ”

It was originally estimated that it would take at least a year to practice from the recruits to the army that could be pulled out to fight a war, but this time he personally entered the barracks, Zhu Houzhao was a little expectant, after all, the performance of these newly recruited soldiers in the new barracks far exceeded Zhu Houzhao's expectations.

Sun Qiu was slightly stunned, looked at Zhu Houzhao with an expectant look, and hesitated slightly: "Back to Your Majesty, military affairs should not be neglected, the minister can guarantee that he can become an army in eight months at most, if the time is short, the minister does not dare to make the slightest guarantee." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction and said: "It can be shortened from one year to eight months, but Nan Anbo is very capable, and I am very relieved!" ”

To be honest, even Chu Yi never thought that Sun Qiu would have such a ability to train troops, you must know that many excellent generals can command troops and charge into battle, but they may not be able to train troops.

Chu Yi had only found that the team led by Sun Qiu was more orderly than the team led by other generals, and he was the tallest among the so-called dwarves, but he never thought that he would really find a treasure.

There is never a shortage of brave generals in the army who can charge into battle, hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as they are willing, they can find a lot of brave people, but generals like Sun Qiu who have the ability to train troops are extremely rare.

I only heard Zhu Houzhao turn sideways to Chu Yi and said: "Big Companion, Nan Anbo has such a great talent, I am going to hand over the second batch of recruits to Nan Anbo for training, I don't know what the big companion wants?" ”

Chu Yi smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Sun Qiu and said, "Nan Anbo, thank Your Majesty soon!" ”

Sun Qiu reacted, and hurriedly got up and bowed down in front of Zhu Houzhao, and said with a little excitement on his face: "The last general will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

Zhu Houzhao handed over the right to train the 200,000 new army to Sun Qiu, which is definitely a great trust to Sun Qiu, you must know that these new troops were trained in the hands of Sun Qiu, although I dare not say that Sun Qiu's brand was laid on the 200,000 new army, but it also set off Sun Qiu's good performance to a certain extent, with such qualifications, he Sun Qiu will inevitably rise to the top, and such a big right to train troops, if it is not really won the emperor's heart, how can it be completely handed over to one person.

On the official road, Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao and others were slowly returning to Beijing, the two monarchs and ministers were walking side by side, and Zhu Houzhao was talking to Chu Yi in a low voice.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and several Yulin Guard guards drove forward almost instinctively to protect Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao and others behind them.

Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi looked up at the comer, and saw a team of people rushing over, but the flying fish suit of the comer was quite eye-catching.

I saw everyone turn over and dismount, and they all bowed down to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Minister Qian Ning to see Your Majesty!" I've seen the Grand Steward! ”

The person who came was none other than Qian Ning, the commander in charge of the Jinyi Guard.

Zhu Hou looked at Qian Ning, raised his eyebrows and said with a little doubt: "Qian Ning, why did you rush here, could it be that there is something important to find me?" ”

Qian Ning took a deep breath and said behind him: "Lin De, why don't you come and meet Your Majesty, and tell you what you have seen and heard, Your Majesty and the Chief Administrator in its original form!" ”

Seeing that among the several brocade-clothed guards who fell to the ground, a brocade-clothed guard, who was obviously dusty, stepped forward on his knees and respectfully said to Zhu Houzhao: "Chen Linde, Tian is a Jinyi guard's secret agent, and he was ordered to accompany the caravan of the general Lu Kang to Dongying with the royal prison outside the prison......"

It turned out that this Linde turned out to be a member of Lu Kangna's royal caravan, and Lu Kang was careless for a while, causing almost all of Yiying people to be killed by the Japanese invaders.

However, the small boat that Linde and several people were on was lucky to escape, floating on the sea for nearly ten days, eating up the food on the ship, drinking all the water, and almost dying on the sea, during which several people who escaped even fought for the last food and clear water broke out infighting, Linde forcibly killed several companions with his good skills, and finally returned to Daming.

Lin De didn't dare to believe in the local Jinyi guard, and with a lot of hard work, he robbed a rich merchant who was rich and unkind in the locality, bought horses with the gold and silver he stolen, and rushed to Beijing in a few days from the southeast coastal land with more than a dozen fast horses.

Listening to Linde's account of their fleet being hunted down by the Wokos at sea, everyone was stunned.

Everyone knows that with the permission of Chu Yi, the royal eunuch has formed a caravan directly belonging to the Ming royal family, and this caravan is secretly called the Ming royal caravan by the civil and military officials.

Counting the time, it has been almost two or three months since the Ming royal caravan went to sea, if it weren't for the news that Linde brought the caravan to be besieged by the Japanese invaders, such as Yang Yiqing and others would have almost forgotten about this unique caravan.
