Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Imperial Brother Is the One Who Took It to the Pit

The north wind is Xiao Xiao, and it is the land of Hebei that is in the autumn harvest, Qi Jin looked at the departing Jinyi guard and the eunuch who passed the decree, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

At this time, a general in his forties stepped forward and said:

"Dad, I'm waiting in front of the Fifth Highness and Long Live in front of you, as long as you guard Liaoyang, I'm afraid you can shine on the lintel!"

Hearing this, Qi Jin turned to look at this person, and saw two other children of his own at the same time.

Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, Qi Yuanbi......

Of these three people, the eldest and the person who spoke just now is Qi Yuangong, he is forty and five this year, and he is the child that Qi Jin conceived with his wife before he went north to follow Qi Jiguang to guard Jiliao, and he is also the eldest son.

The second eldest Qi Yuanfu, who is 38 years old Chinese New Year's Eve, is the second son born to his wife after Qi Jin and his uncle Qi Jiguang were squeezed out by Korean officials and returned to their hometowns.

The third eldest Qi Yuanbi, who is only 30 years old this year, is the third son born to Qi Jin before the second anti-Japanese aid dynasty.

Qi Jin has been fighting horses all his life, either fighting or on the way to war, from joining the army at the age of 15 to the present, and in his life at the age of 68, he has stayed at home for no more than 25 years, and the remaining 43 years are on the way to defend his family and the country.

Unexpectedly, at the end, half of the people were cut into the ground, but they learned that the imperial court had experienced such a tragic battle as the defeat of Salhu.

Without waiting for Mingshenzong Wanli to speak, he took the initiative to go to the book, went out of the mountain at the age of sixty-seven, scattered his family wealth to recruit troops and horses, and prepared to go north to fight against Jin.

It's just that I don't want him to train for half a year, and finally trained a traditional Zhejiang soldier of the Qi family's army, but ushered in the drama of changing the three emperors in a year.

He just wants to win a battle for the court in the last moment of his life, and fight for the people of the Ming Dynasty for a few years of peace.

But now, like his uncle Qi Jiguang, he is still involved in the political struggle between the DPRK and China.

He held the five-colored decree with the gold scroll in his hand, and he didn't know whether to be happy or not.

But when he saw the eager eyes of his three sons, as well as the four thousand cheering Yiwu Zhejiang soldiers, he was relieved.

In any case, even if the Zhejiang soldiers experienced the drama of being betrayed and framed by the northerners again, the Fifth Highness, who had never met before, gave them sufficient military salaries.

"What's more, Your Highness and Banzai treat me like this, and the eldest husband will be a horse leather shroud to serve his family and country!"

Qi Jin made a grand wish in his heart, and then immediately said with a face:

"What's it called?! In "The New Book of Ji Xiao", what should my Qi family's army do when it marches? The three of you have read the war book for so many years, have you read it in vain?! ”

"Yes! The last general is called the order of his subordinates! Seeing that his father was angry, Qi Yuangong hurriedly dragged his two younger brothers and began to take their troops and organize the 4,000-strong Zhejiang soldiers.

The march is not to speak, not to talk to each other, and not to go to the toilet alone.

It can be said that the military regulations of Zhejiang soldiers are not much better than those of later generations.

It is precisely the iron-like military regulations that made this team, which had been trained for less than half a year, stand still in the face of 60,000 Houjin troops on the banks of the Hunhe River and attack Jianyu.

They no longer celebrated, but returned to a deathly silence a moment later.

The army continued northward, but slightly modified its route, changing its original target to Tongzhou to Changping, northwest of the capital.

Their move, on behalf of Zhu Youzhen, changed the result of the disagreement between the Zhejiang soldiers and the white pole soldiers.

Therefore, when Zhu Youzhen learned that the Zhejiang soldiers had rushed to Changping two days later, he deliberately breathed a sigh of relief:

"Whew...... That's good, wait for the white pole soldiers to arrive in a few days, and I will sit in Zhuang and have a meal with the generals of the two armies, thinking that the relationship between the two teams will not be as bad as in history. ”

He was extremely happy in his heart, and the so-called grievances between the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers were actually because of the lack of supplies in the Ming Dynasty.

In history, there is no detailed record of why the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers did not agree, but it is mentioned that when the two armies were resting in Tongzhou, they made a fuss because of some trivial things.

The two sides fought fiercely in Tongzhou, and even used artillery to fire at each other, damaging a number of houses and killing and wounding a large number of civilians.

Neither the history of the Ming Dynasty nor the records of the Ming Dynasty recorded the reasons for the two sides' actions, but when they think of the place where they were stationed, Tongzhou, was a big granary in the north, and Liaodi was short of grain.

Perhaps the two sides began to fight because of the unpleasantness of the purchase of materials.

These two first-class elite troops in the East Asian battlefield at the end of the Ming Dynasty had a gap because of this incident, and they were finally sold by the Liaodong generals in the Hunhe River, which is a pity.

In Zhu Youzhen's view, as long as the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers advance in harmony, even if their total number is only 7,000 people, but in terms of the Houjin army that is still rising in the hands of Nurhachi, even if the 60,000 and eight banners are exhausted, they will not be able to stay.

Therefore, what he has to do is to prepare in advance for the white pole soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers to aid Liao, and the materials for a long-term garrison in Liaodi.

Thinking so, he glanced at a list of military items on his desk.

On this, it is recorded that the military department has a reserve of various military supplies in the capital, Tongzhou, Tianjin Wei and other places.

For the current military department, the Zhejiang soldiers and the white pole soldiers are the main forces to aid Liao, and it is impossible to treat them badly.

But what Zhu Youzhen is worried about is that the king of Hades is not annoyed, and the little ghost is difficult.

The Zhejiang soldiers and the white pole soldiers in the imperial court gave a very bad impression to those officials.

One is the soldier of the Tusi barbarian, and the other is the army of Qi Jiguang's nephew under Zhang Juzheng, who is not to be seen.

There is no way, in order for these two troops to help Daming defend the Liaodong Peninsula, Zhu Youzhen can only prepare by himself.

So, he opened the material book of the military department, and after just a few easy glances, he probably thought of what he needed.

This is another perk that he has crossed over, and his memory can be almost temporary.

Even in the past few days, I can remember everything.

Therefore, after reading the material booklet, he said to Wang Chengen:

"Cheng'en, remember, ask the military department to prepare 21,000 winter clothes, 7,000 cloth armor, 7,000 arm armor, 7,000 hat-shaped helmets, 21,000 layers of shoes, and 70,000 catties of iron."

"Sixty cannons of General Shenwei, 200 tiger squat cannons, 2,000 bird guns, 30,000 catties of gunpowder, 30,000 catties of lead, and 2,000 stone shells."

"In addition, the Taifu Temple is ready to pull 2,000 horses, 300,000 straw bundles, and 50,000 catties of beans."

"Taicang transfers grain 126,000 stones."

"These things, you pass them to the Qianqing Palace, and tell the imperial brother that they are for the Zhejiang soldiers and the white pole soldiers to aid Liao."

"After the celebrant approved the red, you followed the cabinet and the six sections, and when you saw that they approved the slip, you asked the people of the imperial horse supervisor to pull things and pull them all for me to Changping Mausoleum District."

"So much?" Wang Chengen remembered quickly, but Zhu Youzhen needed too many things.

"Don't worry, these things add up, at most only 200,000 taels, it's really not good, so I bought it with the silver." Zhu Youzhen doesn't feel sorry for the silver.

It should be said that he felt sorry for giving the silver to the wine bags and rice bags on the nine sides of the current nine, but he didn't feel sorry for giving the silver to the white pole soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers who could fight.

Give them hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and they can keep the safety of the three million Han people in Liaodong for several years, but they can't even make a bubble for the Jiubian Military Gate.

Time was pressing, Zhu Youzhen explained, and urged Wang Chengen to go to the errand, and Wang Chengen also rushed towards the Qianqing Palace with the things he had memorized.

If you are faster, you may be able to go back to the palace to eat before the sun goes down......
