"Is that true?"

Ma Shiqi was overjoyed when he heard this.

Wu Youxing was also overjoyed, and he was about to gather the medical school students together.

"Students, let me tell you a great news, my great soldiers, under the leadership of Xu Zhiji, defeated Jiannu on the south bank of the Hunhe River not long ago, and beheaded more than 20,000 prisoners!"

"My God, Liaodong actually won such a big battle?"

"And it's still a field battle, and after this battle, the offensive and defensive forces will really change the situation."

The students were all excited when they heard this, and the people cheered when they heard it.

At this time, Xu Yingwei's name has really spread throughout Nanchang Mansion, and everyone knows it.

"This battle also has the credit of my Daming Medical College students." Ma Shiqi keenly found the entry point of lobbying, "If it weren't for the medical battalion sent by Daming Medical College to provide the most complete medical care, so that the casualties of the Liaodong New Army were minimized, the Liaodong New Army might not have been able to achieve such a great victory." ”

Hearing this, the students' perception of Ma Shiqi suddenly changed greatly.

Ma Shiqi smiled again and said that Wu Youxing said: "Dean Wu, you see, can you send a group of students to our Nanchang Mansion for the sake of the victory of the Hunhe River?" Ten, we only need ten. ”

"I can't help it." Wu Youxing said helplessly.

"Well, the third-graders should graduate at the end of next year."

"When the time comes, I will find a way to set aside twenty students for your Nanchang Mansion."

Ma Shiqi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately waved at Wu Youxing.

……

Xu Yingwei has become a household name in the Ming Dynasty, and is even known as the God of War in the Ming Dynasty.

However, Xu Yingwei, who was far away in Gaizhouwei, didn't know it, and still lived a boring and monotonous life every day, taking the soldiers to inspect the city defense during the day, and talking with the soldiers at night.

The food is also the same as that of the soldiers, and it is impossible to eat a small stove.

By late October, ten days after the Battle of the Hunhe River, a brigade of Jiannu cavalry appeared outside the city of Gaizhou.

In fact, as early as five days ago, the Horqin Mongols had already appeared in the wilderness outside Gaizhou City, and fought to the death with the scout cavalry of the Ming army.

The result was naturally one-sided.

The cavalry bow of the Mongol cavalry was not at all an opponent of the Type 20 rifles of the Ming scouts.

However, as the number of Mongol cavalry did not collect at night, the control of the periphery of the battlefield inevitably fell into the hands of the Mongols, and the Ming army was forced to fully retreat to the city of Gaizhou.

To this day, the cavalry of the Horqin Mongols finally reached Gaizhou.

However, Xu Yingwei did not panic at all, because more than half of the more than 9,000 wounded new troops have returned from injury, plus an infantry brigade that stayed in Gaizhou before, and now there are more than 22,000 Ming troops in Gaizhouwei, as well as 5,000 Korean troops.

There is no need to worry about military supplies, the reserves are enough for a year.

Moreover, before leaving, the saint also said that reinforcements would be sent soon.

It's just that what really gave Xu Yingwei confidence was the previous victory in the Hunhe River.

The Ming army could defeat Jiannu in a dignified large-scale field battle, so what else could they fear? Even if the Jiannu army came again, it would be nothing more than a few hundred more Hongyi cannons.

However, Jiannu had Hongyi cannons, and the Ming army also had 4-inch cannons.

What's more, there are also a large number of platforms on the periphery of Gaizhou City.

Even if Jiannu came to the nest, Xu Yingwei was fearless.

Xu Yingwei's only worry is that Chongzhen must not have an accident.

Because Chongzhen is going to take eight hundred Yiding directly across Hainan this time.

It was not that they were worried about being intercepted by the Mongol cavalry halfway, and the Mongol cavalry was not worried.

Xu Yingwei was worried that there were holes in the ice in the North Sea, and he was afraid that Chongzhen would fall into the sea, so he proposed that Chongzhen return to Nanjing half a month later.

……

Also worried about Chongzhen falling into the sea are Wang Jiayan, the governor of Shandong, and Hu Xinshui, the governor of Shandong.

In the middle of winter, the North Sea ice is thick enough for people to pass, but few people dare to walk it.

After receiving the report from Xu Yingwei, Wang Jiayan and Hu Xinshui hurriedly took 300 families and stepped on the ice to greet them, which had already reached the sea near Dangji Island.

Although the horse's hooves were wrapped in non-slip cotton cloth, Wang Jiayan, Hu Xinshui and the accompanying family members were still cautious, one was afraid of slipping, and the other was worried about falling into the ice hole.

In late September, the North Sea began to enter extremely cold weather.

By mid-October, the ice in the North Sea was extremely thick, and it was almost no problem for people to get around.

However, there are no absolutes, and there are often large and small ice holes on the vast ice surface, and if you accidentally fall into them, it will be very troublesome, and if there is only one person, you will basically die.

After hurrying away, Hu Xinshui chatted with Wang Jiayan about Xu Yingwei.

is also a victory, Hu Guozhu won the battle in Guting Town, but was kicked to the cold bench by Chongzhen, and Xu Yingwei won the battle in Hunhe, but Chongzhen hyped it up and paid more attention to him.

Comparing the two, it is impossible to say that Hu Xinshui has no grievances.

"Wang Butang, what do you say the saint thinks? Why can't Xia Guan understand it? ”

"What's incomprehensible about this, the Holy Lord is in a hurry to return to Nanjing to preside over the overall situation."

"What the lower official said is not this, what the lower official is saying is why the Holy Lord spares no effort to build momentum for Xu Yingwei?"

"Oh, you mean this, what's so hard to understand." Wang Jiayan asked Hu Xinshui rhetorically, "Has Hu Junmen heard the story of the champion Hou?" ”

"Of course I've heard the story of Champion Hou, Huo Qu's illness."

"Knowing the story of the champion Hou, Hu Junmen should understand the good intentions of the saint's move."

However, Hu Xinshui still didn't understand, so he could only salivate and ask: "The lower officials don't understand very much, and I ask the ministry to solve my doubts." ”

In the end, it was a Mongolian, and he had never read a serious book before he moved to Liaoxi, at best, he could only know a few words, and he could barely draw his own name.

Wang Jiayan patiently explained: "Doesn't Hu Junmen feel that the current situation is somewhat similar to the situation before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched a large-scale northern expedition against the Xiongnu? The treasury is very abundant, and the armament is not weak, but most of the people in the whole country and even the people are cowardly, and there is a lack of generals among the generals. ”

Hu Xinshui frowned and said: "The saint himself is not quite knowledgeable, so why bother to pretend to others." ”

"It's different." Wang Jiayan waved his hand and said, "The saint is handsome, there is still a difference between the handsome and the general, sitting in the rear to strategize, winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away is the handsome, leading the three armies to charge into battle is the general, the saint knows that the soldiers can be handsome, but he is the respect of the Ninety-Five, and he is the safety of the Ming Dynasty, so he cannot be a general." ”

"Understood." Hu Xinshui suddenly realized, "Xu Yingwei is the fierce general used by the saint to support the scene." ”

"That's right." Wang Jiayan smiled and said, "Champion Hou Huo Qubing is a banner erected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for the weak Han army, Huo Qubing led the Han army to sweep thousands of miles, and after sealing the wolf Juxu, the Han army swept away the weak style before Wenjing, became brave and good at fighting, and the people of the Han Dynasty also became martial. ”

"It is advisable to hang your head between the barbarian mansions on the street to show thousands of miles."

"Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away! What kind of arrogance is that? ”

"And Xu Yingwei is another banner erected by the Holy Lord for my Daming."

"Shengshang hopes that Xu Yingwei can become another champion Hou, and I hope that the Ming army can also become as brave and good at fighting as the Han army under the inspiration of Xu Yingwei.

"I see." Now Hu Xinshui finally figured it out.

But after figuring it out, the resentment in my heart became even stronger.

Originally, this banner was supposed to be his son, and the saint was unfair.

While he was talking, a scout came back to report that a large group of cavalry had been found in front of him.

Wang Jiayan and Hu Xinshui hurriedly took out the monoculars from the leather bag on their waists.

With the great development of the glass products industry, monocular two-section or even three-section telescopes have been equipped with a large number of Ming troops, and generals above the deputy general have been equipped with telescopes.

Through the telescope, you can see more clearly.

"Judging from the armor, it should be eight hundred Yiding."

"It must be the saint who has arrived, Hu Junmen, let's hurry up."

After Wang Jiayan finished speaking, he urged the horse forward, and Hu Xinshui hurriedly followed.

The ice looked very close, but in fact, the distance was not close, and it was not fast to walk, so it took nearly half an hour for the two armies to finally meet together.

It's really Chongzhen and his entourage and the Liaodong Army that accompanied them to protect.

After seeing the Shandong army, Chongzhen asked the Liaodong army to return to Gaizhou Wei to restore his life.

"Wang Qing and Hu Qing, didn't I ask you not to come to meet you, why are you still here?" Chongzhen pretended to complain a few words, but Wang Jiayan and Hu Xinshui could hear Chongzhen's closeness.

Hu Xinshui was in a trance again, and said in his heart that the saint was still thinking of the old love.

Hu Xinshui was thinking about it, and Chongzhen came over again and said: "Hu Qing, there is something I have to explain to you, Guozhu, this kid is still too young and lacks experience, and after the victory in Guting Town, people are a little drifting, so I transferred him from the cavalry battalion and asked him to go to Guozijian as an equestrian teacher for two years to sharpen his temperament." ”

"There are clouds in the memory of etiquette, jade is not cut into a tool, and people do not know righteousness if they don't learn."

"Guozhu, this kid has the ability, but his temperament is a little jumpy."

After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "I believe that if he trains in Guozijian for a few years, he will become calm, and then let him lead the cavalry corps of the Ming Dynasty to gallop across the desert." ”

"Holy Lord, the minister is afraid." Hu Xinshui is really flattered now.

Is the Holy One explaining this to him? How can he be foolish?

In the past three years, the saint's personality has changed greatly, and he has begun to like to talk about rules in doing things, but the majesty is more than ten years earlier, how deep is the Donglin Party rooted in Jiangnan? As a result, he was uprooted by the Holy One.

"Hu Qing doesn't have to be afraid." Chongzhen said with a slight smile.

"In the future, I will have to rely on your father and son to conquer the desert in the north."

In Chongzhen's long-term planning, the Hu family father and son are really indispensable.

In any case, the father and son of the Hu family are the descendants of the Golden Family.

With the banner of the Golden Family, it is much easier to conquer the desert.

It is impossible to make the mistake of Grandpa Cheng again.
