The nine-sided border army, in the sequence of the entire Ming army, can be described as the three armies of Yongguan.

The combat power of the Nine Sides is the most ferocious, and they can fight and kill several times the enemy, so that the Great Wall of the Empire will not fall.

The pro-army is the most well-equipped, the most advanced firearms and equipment of the Ming Dynasty, and the toughest armor, so that this central armed force can crush all the roads.

These are recognized as the two strongest military forces in the Empire.

Over the years, the imperial court has invested enough resources in Jiubian to describe a large amount, and before the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, it was even more famous for its power to pour the country.

The impact of every large-scale operation of the border army can directly affect the entire area north of the Yellow River.

Even in these years, the imperial court has never thought of using the military horses of the nine-sided border army.

It's just that it all seems to be about to be broken.

Beiping Division, Guangping Mansion Handan outside the city of Cong Taiyi.

This post is located in Handan, which can be regarded as an important location in the entire Beiping capital. From Congtai Station to the southeast through the Beiping Dusi Daimyo Mansion, you can enter the Dongchang Mansion of Shandong Road. Crossing Handan City to the southwest, you can enter Zhangde Province, the northernmost part of Henan Province.

Congtai Station is a place where the three official roads and post roads converge and control the chokehold.

And today, more than 10,000 cavalrymen with the cold wind in the north went south from outside the Jiubian Pass to Congtai Station without warning.

More than 10,000 cavalry were enough to allow the imperial court to cooperate with the foot soldiers outside the nine sides to organize a huge military operation of the Northern Expedition.

Today, the more than 10,000 cavalry are under the command of the Beiping Commander and the Commander of the Yanwangfu Guard, and under the command of Zhang Zhiyuan, a popular man in the new army in the north, they have stopped outside the Congtai Station.

More than 10,000 cavalry ordered the ban, the team in front of them stopped their horses, and the military horses rolling behind them immediately responded, stopping one by one, and the left and right battalions dispersed the Congtai Post to stand guard on the left and right with the marching method.

In front of Congtai Station, the merchants, pedestrians, and eunuchs who were still bustling with people heard the arrival of the big officers and soldiers, and most of them were emptied in the blink of an eye, and they disappeared without a trace.

When the post man of Congtai Station heard the news, he hurriedly brought people from the post station to greet him.

Yicheng walked out of the post station, looked at the border army and horses parked on the official road outside the post station, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

In recent years, the imperial court has been continuously implementing the post station system, and every year it will add frontiers and disabled soldiers in various post stations and express shops.

Congtai Station is located in the Beiping Division, and it is the location of the three customs clearance controls, even if it was a big post in the past, it has been expanded more and more in recent years, adding many disabled soldiers who have retired from the border army of the Beiping Division, and the number of personnel has increased innumerable.

It is precisely because of this that the Yicheng of Congtai Station has far more understanding of the Nine-sided Border Army than ordinary people.

The black army in front of him was silent, only countless war horses were spitting hot air.

With just a glance, Yi Cheng knew that this must be the elite of the elite in the border army.

If it is placed outside the fortress, it is an elite heavy division that can charge in front of the army, and it is an elite heavy division that determines the army's formation.

And today, these border troops who should have been stationed outside the Saiwai and waiting for the opportunity to go north to clear the remnants of the Yuan thieves suddenly appeared in Congtai Station, and they had to make Yi Cheng think about it.

"Yicheng, it seems that the army is going to rest in our Congtai Station."

The post guard who followed Yi Cheng reminded him in a whisper.

The postman's legs were a little weak, there were some bumps between movements, and the palms hidden under the sleeves twitched twice from time to time for no reason.

This post soldier is also a person who has retired from the border army in the past two years.

Yi Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded uneasily.

He hurriedly trotted forward and hurried in front of the army.

Zhang Zhiyuan, who led more than 10,000 cavalry of the border army, held the reins in his hand, sat on horseback, lowered his eyes slightly, and overlooked the Congtai Post in front of him, as well as the Congtai Post Cheng who was rushing over with people.

From Beiping to lead the troops south, there are also a few days.

But Zhang Zhiyuan still clearly remembers what happened when King Yan got the official document from the grandson.

This year's Beiping Dusi's Northern Expedition was actually decided as early as the end of last year, and all parties in Beiping were preparing for the Northern Expedition after the beginning of spring.

The official letter of the grandson's request for transfer suddenly arrived, which directly disrupted the deployment of the Beiping Metropolitan Division. Led by the internal generals of the Beiping Division, a group of people were unwilling to send troops south.

However, the people on the side of King Yan's Mansion were extremely supportive of King Yan sending troops south to Henan Province. Especially Yao Guangxiao, who got the news and heard the news, was the leader.

At the beginning, the opinions of the two sides collided greatly, and the first compromise and proposal was that the Beiping side mobilized more than 10,000 foot soldiers to go south to Henan, which can be regarded as listening to the official letter of the emperor's grandson, who is now holding the order of the Son of Heaven.

Yao Guangxiao and others reluctantly agree with this.

However, everyone didn't expect that when King Yan finally made a decision, he directly changed more than 10,000 foot soldiers to more than 10,000 horse cavalry.

Moreover, the most elite cavalry of the horse military camp under the Beiping Dusi was sent.

This greatly surprised the expectations of the Beiping Metropolitan Division, and also exceeded Yao Guangxiao's expectations, and even more unexpected Zhang Zhiyuan.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

。 He borrowed the timber hoarded in the Congtai post and cut down the surrounding trees, and made the fence needed for the war horse before sunset.

The tents were also quietly erected at night, and the officers and soldiers who patrolled the night began to patrol the field around Congtai Post after eating their meals early.

Tanma shuttled back and forth between the Chinese army and the left and right military camps, gathering and synchronizing the latest situation of each military camp.

The county order of Handan County came in the evening when he got the news.

With the arrival of the Handan County Order, there are thousands of loads of grain and grass urgently transferred by the county government. I am afraid that because of the shortage of food and grass for the army, this group of murderous border troops will be allowed to do things like looting places.

The so-called soldiers are like a sieve.

Although the Ming Dynasty is not so much now, although the army of the empire's sharp weapons is not something that the local government and the people dare to offend.

Even, the cautious Handan county order, inevitably the army used insufficient grain and grass, when leaving the city, the county Cheng to contact the gentry and large households under the jurisdiction of Handan, ready to donate grain and grass for the army at any time.

"There is Laogui County today, and there will be more disturbances in the future, if there is anything wrong, I hope that Guigui County can inform you in time."

In the field not far from Congtai Station, Zhang Zhiyuan led a group of generals in the army to send the county magistrate of Handan County and his party out of the camp gate. Zhang Zhiyuan was full of apologies and explained sincerely.

The commander of Handan County waved his hand and shook his head: "The generals shed blood for the country outside the Saiwai in the past, and now when they come to Handan County, we will never make the generals hungry again."

The Handan County Order said very politely.

Zhang Zhiyuan clenched his fists and arched his hand: "In this way, there will be Laogui County, and it is late at night, and I will ask someone to escort Guixian back to the city."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhiyuan beckoned the generals and colonels in the army to reorganize the team and escort Handan County Commander back to the city.

The Handan county order was still shirking, but seeing that the army had already reorganized a cavalry team of the horse army, he knew that he could not resign, so he could only say goodbye with enthusiasm and polite thanks.

In the middle of the night, the sound of insects chirping can be heard in the wilderness.

In the wilderness outside the camp, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, it was the military horses that escorted Handan County Commander back to the city and returned to the camp, and no one would notice that when the team came back, there were a few more people than when they went out.

After everyone entered the camp, one of them quickly turned over and dismounted, and quickly ran towards the Chinese army's tent.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiyuan in the big tent has not fallen asleep, but sits alone in front of the table borrowed from Congtai Station, and uses the candle on the side to pick up the lamp to parade the military plane in the army at night.

When he heard the sound of horses' hooves responding to the military horses outside the tent, Zhang Zhiyuan put down the military aircraft documents in his hand and looked up at the door of the tent, which was still empty.

Waiting for Tang Keke's burly body to appear in Zhang Zhiyuan's sight, he still couldn't understand why such a person would be called by this name.

Incognito to Beiping, Tang Keke, who entered Zhang Zhiyuan's command, walked quickly in front of the other party.

Tang Keke, who has been in the army for a long time, was already burly, but at this time, he was even more full of implicit explosive power.

The two arms full of tendons and flesh waved and hugged each other, and arched his hand and bent down, "See the general."

Zhang Zhiyuan waved his hand: "Sit down and talk."

Tang Keke was not polite, nodded and sat in front of Zhang Zhiyuan, reached out and took the teapot and cup on the table, and poured a cup of tea for himself.

After drinking the tea, Tang Keke spoke: "There are great changes in Henan Province, and the situation is also developing in an uncontrollable direction."

Zhang Zhiyuan sighed lightly and did not speak.

In the past few years, Zhang Zhiyuan has gone from a small flag officer of Yulinwei in the Shangzhi Army, all the way to the position of commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Division and the commander of the Prince's Mansion Guard Command Division.

For him, no matter how big the uncontrollable and chaotic Henan Province is, at most it is just a few more heads under his own knife.

For the king's precursor, in order to repay the grandson's kindness back then, it is not impossible to restore the martial arts.

Don Coco gazed

flashed twice, frowned at Zhang Zhiyuan, and said: "Your Majesty's will, His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun is now as powerful as His Majesty, and all internal and external officials, officials, and everything can be taken by His Royal Highness."

When Zhang Zhiyuan heard this, his face finally fluctuated, with an expression of joy and surprise.

He said softly, "Your Majesty is so gracious to Your Highness."

Tang Keke silently rolled his eyes, and said, "Since His Royal Highness entered Kaifeng Mansion, he took advantage of the night to detain the officials of Henan Province, and then went out of the city to clear the gentry of Donghu Zhuang under Kaifeng Mansion.

When His Majesty's will comes, His Royal Highness will appoint the official Henan Province Yousi, implement the reform policy, and check the top and bottom of Henan.

Zhang Zhiyuan's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he said in a deep voice, "How is Your Highness's safety? You...... Do you have enough manpower? Ben will be able to set off tonight and head south to Henan Province to protect the safety of His Highness's daughter."

Tang Keke couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhang Zhiyuan again.

Among the countless benefits and benefits of becoming a Secret Guard, there is one that can retrieve the life history of any person who has been recorded by the Secret Guard.

Tang Keke knew the emperor's grandson's kindness to Zhang Zhiyuan at the beginning, and he also knew how important that favor was at that time.

Zhang Zhiyuan is a person who attaches great importance to kindness, which Tang Keke clearly understands.

He shook his head, "The general doesn't have to worry about the safety of His Highness. Yu Ma now leads more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Henan Provincial Guard, and Tang Bi leads 5,000 and 6 Lin Right Guard soldiers and horses to defend Kaifeng Mansion together. Your Highness also has the Jinyi Guard and my secret guard by his side, so he is safe enough."

Zhang Zhiyuan was still a little worried, his face was tense, and his eyes stared at Tang Keke, who was like a small mountain.

Tang Ke could see this situation, and immediately spoke: "If the people on His Highness's side turn around, the general's trip is not to go to Henan Road. The general is now waiting here for his orders, and once His Highness needs it, he will have news to send it."

Zhang Zhiyuan's brows furrowed more and more: "Your Highness's official document please transfer the Beiping army and horses, at this moment, our army is going south, why does Your Highness not allow us to enter Henan Province?"

Zhang Zhiyuan is still worried about the situation in Henan Province at the moment, and what it will become if it develops further.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth lightly, and looked at Tang Keke who was sitting in front of him with a complicated face.

"Your Highness wants us to lead the army south to Shandong?"

Tang Keke took a sip of tea and shook his head: "Your Highness didn't say it, and I don't know."

Zhang Zhiyuan lightly tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Tang Keke several times, and said in a low voice: "In this way, the only purpose of our army stopping here is to bluff. It is called the north of the southern province of the control of the river, but in fact it is a preparation for the southward march to Shandong."

Tang Keke still shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't gotten any news."

Zhang Zhiyuan snorted twice, and there was a bit of murderous aura between his eyebrows: "Your Highness is carrying out innovations in Henan Province and clearing places, I'm afraid this move will not only cause chaos in Henan. Congtai Station, southeast to Shandong, southwest to Henan.

Our department will not go down to Henan, but in order to control Shandong in the north, and to respond to the situation in Henan Province at any time, and go down to Shandong in the southeast. In order to cooperate with the layout of His Royal Highness in Henan Province, to prevent the chaos of Shandong Province. If Henan and Shandong are in chaos, then the situation on the nine sides of our Ming Dynasty will no longer be unimpeded between the north and the south."

Tang Keke kept shaking his head one after another: "Your Highness has not explained this matter to me."

With a mouthful of muttering, Tang Keke didn't let Zhang Zhiyuan wait and see for several times.

He really didn't know what kind of arrangements His Royal Highness Taisun would have, but as a member of the bureau laid by Taisun, Tang Keke faintly had the same associations and deductions as Zhang Zhiyuan at this moment.

And he also knows more than Zhang Zhiyuan.

For example, he knew that behind Tongguan, there were now three guards of the Qin Palace.

I also know that although the Beijing army, which was still in various parts of Jiangnan last year, received the will to return to Beijing in turn the previous trip, it has been going very slowly recently.

And the Beijing army, which had already rushed back to Beijing in the vanguard, also went out of Beijing again to various places on the grounds that they wanted to take turns to return to their original guard posts.

He also knew that Jin Yiwei had been bright since the beginning of the year

Dark doubles and expands.

More than 10,000 cavalry of the nine-sided horse barracks can certainly ride horses and gallop in the Central Plains and exert invincible deterrence, but with the light and dark arrangement in Henan Road at the moment, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.

Zhang Zhiyuan's face gradually showed an expression of sudden realization at this time.

"This time, the prince asked me to command the cavalry of the 10,000-horse military camp to go south, could it be that he had already seen His Highness's plan?"

"Go southeast to Shandong, and my nine-sided cavalry is enough to pacify everything."

When Zhang Zhiyuan said this, even his eyes began to shine continuously, and he wanted to receive a military order at this moment, lead the army southeast to Shandong, and settle all the small things.

Tang Keke chuckled helplessly: "General, don't worry, wait for the will."
