Chapter 384: Where Does the Princess Live?
Fortunately, this emotion did not last long, and it was basically gone for more than 100 miles out of Beijing.
Because almost all of the people who are traveling with her are the original team members of her daily life, and Cheng Minzhi is not the one who will be sad and sad at all.
As the sons of generals, they feel very common about going out to fight or something, not to mention that this time they are not sending troops out of forced resistance.
So add a heartless Xing Xiaowei, and a Qi Zizhan who is thinking about how to cook it no matter what beasts you see on the side of the road, you want to feel hurt all the way to the border? Give up before it's too late!
Qi Mi didn't want to be immersed in the parting mood.
This time, a total of four battalions of the Beijing division went out, and secondly, troops and horses would be mobilized from the Houjun Governor's Mansion to converge in the northwest.
She, Cheng Minzhi and the other five people were temporarily incorporated into Xu Kun's team to facilitate the march, and when she entered the ranks, she took a look at the chariots and horses that accompanied the army behind.
I saw several carriages with big Xu characters in the column, and the wives of several fierce generals who were transferred back from the northwest, including Mrs. Xu, were also given priority to follow the army because they were familiar with the terrain and climate.
This time, there were also red tassel cuiqiao and lily of the valley that came out with her, the red tassel cuiqiao was asked by Shen and Concubine Ye to bring, and the lily of the valley was brought by Qi Ruyan.
Originally, she wanted to dress lightly, but thinking that since she was Yantang's wife at the same time, then Mrs. Xu and they could all come over, she was naturally okay, not to mention that Hongying and Cuiqiao were also okay.
Why the imperial court would allow wives and dependents to accompany the army is actually similar to the fact that foreign officials bring wives and concubines.
In addition, the generals are more at risk to the enemy's lives, and if they don't return for a few years, they will sacrifice something in the end, which is basically equivalent to the imperial court depriving them of the right to have children.
Therefore, Yan Tang was born in the border pass, and no one will ever suspect anything, because it is too common in Dayin.
Of course, this is also a situation-by-situation, if it is necessary to march and fight in a hurry, in addition to the danger, it is also a drag, of course, this kind of can't be brought, but if it is stationed somewhere, this is completely okay.
Mrs. Xu and the others will only stay in Qingshui Camp.
The destination to the northwest is Shimizu Camp.
Qingshuiying is an important border city set up by the imperial court and outside the Saiwai, and has always been an important military town, the establishment of the Qingshuiying Pass, once prospered the trade between the two places inside and outside the Guan, and also attracted many merchants to grow grain in the fields in exchange for the transaction vouchers issued by the imperial court.
This raid by Wu Ra was the main capital of the northwest defense line to kill the tiger's mouth, which was still hundreds of miles away from the Qingshui camp, but the Qingshui camp was the real stronghold.
In order to ensure the quality of the battle, the road did not use a rapid march to consume physical strength, but because there were only four battalions of soldiers and horses, and all of them were cavalry, the speed was not slow, and after seven days, they arrived at Datong to rest, and at the same time waited for the battalions and guards scattered in various places of the military governor's office to come and meet.
When there were still fifty miles away from Datong, Yan Tang received a military report that Wu Ra had launched a surprise attack!
This time they raided about 5,000 cavalry, fortunately the commander made Tang Yi react in time, led the troops to fight overnight, and at the same time ordered the left and right battalions to defend in situ, so far there has been no major loss, but the people at the border pass have suffered some damage, and the number of casualties is still being counted.
When the march arrived at Datong Mansion, Yantang and they immediately went to the camp office to discuss matters, although Qi Yiyi was also an "officer", but everyone below the rank of general took the first camp as the master.
The soldiers all camped in tents to rest, and the generals had a place to live, Xu Kun came over to her after negotiating the tent area with other battalion generals and asked: "Dare to ask the princess whether she is in the same camp with the marshal or is it arranged separately?" ”
Qi Yiyi smiled and said: "Although I am a family member of the army, I have also hung up a military position, and General Xu does not have to be so outside." As for the accommodation, if the prince has nothing to say, then of course it should be arranged as it should be. ”
Xu Kun glanced at her, didn't say anything, and left.
In the end, she lived in the same room with Xing Xiaowei, Hongying and Lily of the Valley were in the same courtyard, and Cheng Minzhi and the three of them were in the same room.
Anyway, I only stayed for two days, and after the soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathered, I had to go to the Qingshui camp again.
After putting down the luggage, you need to go to the post to stand by, and Qi Mimi's post is set up in one of the small houses in a row outside the tent.
As a matter of course, whenever there is a rumor in the account, she needs to immediately write it in, or orally convey the military order to the small flag below, and then send it to the target general under the small flag.
There are not many things, the task is not heavy, and it is basically not practical for her to sit in person, with Cheng Minzhi and the three of them and Xing Xiaowei here, just take turns to be on duty.
She is still confident that she can do this errand.
It's not heavy, it's safe, because you don't have to go to the battlefield with you, of course Qi Yiyi won't think that the emperor doesn't reuse her, and she has to steal fun if she picks up this cheap.
Of course, she also knew that he arranged this errand so that she could have time and energy to do the things he had explained, so after sitting down in the house, she immediately called Huang Jun over.
Huang Jun is really a living dictionary of the Northland, and it is really not so convenient without him.
Although everything that should be taught to her has been taught, but what can be taught is only what can be used and imagined.
After Huang Jun came, she said, "After you finish stationing in the Qingshui camp, you can take the time to walk around with me when the time comes." ”
Because the five military camps only have the right to command troops but not the right to transfer troops, and the military department only has the right to transfer troops but not the right to command troops, so in addition to the commanders, there are also officials of the military department, as well as civil officials such as the interpreter of the Siyi Pavilion.
"There are a few things, you can tell them." Huang Jun replied quite simply.
Although there are risks in fighting, following the expedition is equivalent to having qualifications, which is much better than sitting in the yamen for several years to stabilize the yamen.
What's more, he knows more or less Yantang's ability, and there are so many veterans following, Huang Jun doesn't know how much to cherish and pay more attention to this opportunity, if it weren't for his lack of identity, otherwise he would want to join as a "six evils".
After Huang Jun left, Qi Yiyi got up again to look for Yantang, and passed by a small courtyard halfway, but saw Xiao Heng pointing something inside.
The courtyards of the border defense are all made of rammed earth, and the conditions cannot be compared with those of the Central Plains.
Xiao Heng was directing Peng Yin to sweep the floor and clean the windows, and they were a little speechless when they stood in the courtyard with their waists crossed and their sleeves folded.
Although he grew up in the temple, he never had a shortage of eunuchs and guards around him, and the food was all of the highest quality.
Even if he went to the street with his brothers to sell mountain goods, it was not a hardship, but now he was going to be driven to live in this earthen house, and he really didn't have a good face.
Qi Mi imagined Su Ri's suave appearance, and secretly felt funny. said: "The prince can't stand this suffering, why do you want to run over?" ”
Xiao Heng turned his head to look at her, and for the first time he didn't control his depression: "You think I want to come?" ”
