Chapter 14 The Variables of the Thief Army

The bustle on the wharf of Tianjin did not last long, the idlers who heard the news on the second day, saw the scenery compared to the first day, it was much inferior, especially the ships transporting troops on the seaside had left Tianjin Port after replenishing food and fresh water, and the port seemed to be much different from what it usually does.

It is a pity that early in the morning, the prefect and the ya'men and livestock sent by the people's livestock have to get up much earlier than these idlers, and by the time they arrived here, those red-haired ghost soldiers and red-clothed cannons have already gone clean, less than ten miles away from the port, there is a thousand households, and these soldiers have already gone to the camp over there to set up camp.

It's one thing to be lively on the dock, it's another thing to go outside the barracks to see the excitement, whether you can see the excitement or not, it doesn't matter if you provoke those Qiu Ba, eat a few whips and a few 'sticks', it's not fun. The idlers turned around stupidly, took care of some business of the shops on the dock, and reluctantly went home.

They guessed well, if they really didn't know what to do, and chased them outside the barracks to see the excitement, I was afraid that they would really suffer. Those foreign soldiers in the training camp were not some kind men and believed in 'women', but now there is a depressed 'female' commander, this matter is really not good.

"Come on, come on, aren't they just ignorant ordinary people, so angry?" Brad comforted Angel, but there was a slight amusement in his heart.

"In the general's territory, I don't see such a situation, I feel, I feel like they are just treating me as a joke, these people are so hateful!" Angel said indignantly: "I can't wait to leave this hellish place immediately, this feeling is simply suffocating!" ”

"Hehe, we brought here to serve His Majesty the Emperor on behalf of the generals, leaving here, it's not for us to call the shots, we are now in the land of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, and we have to wait until the Emperor's will arrives!"

"How long will it take for the Emperor's will to arrive?" Angel's eyes were a little yearning: "I have long heard that the city where their emperor is located is the greatest city in the East, I can't wait to take a look, well, if only the people there weren't so annoying!" ”

"Soon, this is very close to the emperor's capital, according to their territory, I asked the cloth lord, he said that the fast is six or seven days, slow is half a month, there must be the emperor's will to come down, as soon as we go ashore, they sent out the emperor's report!" Brad looked at the arrangement on the table with some anger, this was originally the central place of the Thousand Households, but at this moment they occupied the magpie's nest, and the original owner instead made room for them and moved to the periphery of their barracks.

"So long!" The burning look in Angel's eyes dimmed a little, "It's been a sad half a month, if only Gavin was here!" ”

"Angel 100 households!" Brad put down a token in his hand and said in a positive voice: "I need to remind you that now we are on a combat mission, and the General sent us, not to visit the great city of this empire, but to assist their Emperor His Majesty in the battle, you have to be mentally prepared, believe in your brother who is far away in Pyongyang, earn meritorious deeds as soon as possible, and your brother and you will be free one day earlier... and wealth! ”

"You don't have to tell me this over and over again, I know what I'm supposed to do!" Angel's face turned cold, glared at Brad, twisted her little waist, and walked out angrily! But Brad's eyes followed her graceful back all the way to the 'door'.

"What a spicy 'girl' child!" He shook his head, remembering Pyongyang's own 'daughter', and in a few years, his little Joyna would not be like this, and he shivered.

"What's going on with this horse?" Chongzhen's face was a little 'gloomy', in front of him, it was Ma Quanyou who sent the concert from Tianjin, and the concert arrived in the cabinet first, and several elders of the cabinet did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately sent it to the palace.

Since Wen Tiren fell, this cabinet is not as good as day by day, the grand occasion of the Zhengde Apocalypse has long ceased to exist, and the former courtiers have worked hard to rack their brains to be able to enter the cabinet and get a glimpse of the position of the cabinet scholar, a very popular minister. But today's cabinet, I dare not say that the courtiers and brothers are afraid of it, at least, it is definitely not as eager as before.

The speed at which the saint changed cabinet scholars was too fast, and once he was out of the cabinet, the end would definitely be worse than being ruined. In the past few years, the cabinet scholars who have retired with their whole bodies can even count a slap.

Therefore, in the current situation where this Tartar is still wandering around outside Beijing, and Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Inspector are leading the Mahjun to resist the enemy's fierce battle, where do they still have the courage to delay such a major military situation.

"There is not enough food and grass, and the soldiers are weak?" Chongzhen threw the fold in his hand on the dragon case, and snorted fiercely: "It's all such an excuse, can't they find a fresh reason?" It is clear that this Yu Feng does not have the slightest loyalty, 'Mao' Wenlong, where is he better than 'Mao' Wenlong! ”

"The emperor is angry!" The first gray-haired minister said: "This Yu Feng is willing to offer a hundred 'gates' of general artillery for the imperial court, and send soldiers to the court, although the number of soldiers is less, but it can also be seen that this Yu Feng is still my Ming courtier, the emperor's courtier, or, Yu Feng is really a little difficult!" ”

"Difficulties, he has difficulties, I don't have difficulties, when I am a three-year-old child, is it so easy to coax?" He said coldly: "That Yu Feng is now sitting big in North Korea, the Li family of North Korea, all the puppets, and the soldiers and horses under his command are only a lot more than that of Liu Zeqing in Shandong, and now that the monarch is in trouble, he will use these two thousand remnants and a few 'gates' I don't know if there is a useful cannon to send me?" ”

"This is the secret performance of the Jinyi Guard, look at it!" He threw a piece of music in front of them, "While marrying the princess of the Tartars, and at the same time responding to the story of me, he is a good wallgrass!" ”

"Your Majesty, these generals have always been lawless, and this kind of unsubdued heart is indeed punished, but the soldiers and horses of this residual wind can fight hard with the Tartar slaves without falling behind, I am afraid that this soldiers and horses can still be used, since he and the Tartar slaves are a little unclear, his soldiers and horses naturally cannot be allocated to Lu Dushi, but if they are used to deal with those thieves, I am afraid it will be ......."

"Hmm!" Chongzhen closed his eyes, carefully considered the whole possible 'sex', this Yu Feng is obviously a thorn, such a military leader, especially the military leader who has nothing to pinch his sore spots, is indeed a little troublesome, not to mention, now that he has actually occupied North Korea, this manpower, money is not bad, the court wants to envelop him, let him serve the court with all his heart, I am afraid that it will take some blood.

However, it is a truth that you can't use it to fight with the Tartars, this person's soldiers and horses have too many variables, but if he lets his soldiers and horses deal with the thieves, it is not bad, his little soldiers and horses, to the Ming Dynasty, he can't help it, if it is a change, turn around and kill him, if he really has the heart to serve the court, give him some sweetness.

Well, however, this number is still too small, the thieves are often tens of thousands, what can these thousands of soldiers and horses do, Cao Wenzhao is not a brave general, and the soldiers and horses under his command are one to block hundreds, aren't they all folded in the hands of thieves? If it is used to suppress thieves, this soldier and horse, there are not more than 10,000 people, don't even think about it. However, any more, it is not appropriate.

"Pass my will, Ma Quanyou will stay in Tianjin, supervise and deal with General Pingyuan Yu Feng's 'communication' matters, as for General Pingyuan's general artillery dedicated to the imperial court, Tianjin Bingbeidao sent people to the military department, and the military department will place it, and the soldiers and horses belonging to General Pingyuan will be temporarily stationed in Tianjin, and they must not disturb the 'chaos' place!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, the Ministry of War will send personnel to Tianjin to assist the 'servant' Lang Ma Quanyou and urge General Pingyuan to send troops!"

.....．

Poor Angel, of course, didn't know that her dream of visiting the center of the Ming Empire was shattered by the supreme ruler of the empire just a few days after he arrived in the Ming Empire, and if nothing else, it was impossible for her to go to Beijing, the center of the empire, for sightseeing. The most likely is that she followed the training camp or the follow-up army sent by Yu Feng to the west along Beizhili, passed by Beijing, and reached the north of the empire to meet a war that did not belong to her.

Burun immediately felt that there was a military camp outside the city after Ma Quanyou received the order, and in the past few years in Tianjin, his news has not been closed.

He was so enthusiastic, and he was enthusiastic in order to sell favors to his own family "General Bu", he remembered that he said that these soldiers and horses of theirs were here for these generals' cannons, and in the holy decree, it was clear that as long as the generals and cannons did not want people, this was notified in advance, at this time, it may be a big crowd, of course, this favor will sooner or later reach the ears of General Pingyuan, and then it will be implemented.

If nothing else, after receiving the holy decree, the soldiers and horses of Tianjin must take some precautions against the soldiers and horses of General Pingyuan, who are too well equipped, in fact, this kind of prevention began as soon as they went ashore, and at the moment the periphery of their station is the soldiers and horses of two thousand households, stationed in the shape of horns, obviously just in case.

Then, as soon as this holy decree arrives, in order to ensure that the holy decree can be implemented, maybe there will be more of these people and horses, and there will definitely be more soldiers and horses in the military preparation road, although this Pingyuan general has only more than 2,000 people, but they have artillery and armor, and they have to guard against it. Of course, although the best way is to cut off their supplies, starve them for a few days, and then take out the holy decree again, and naturally obediently obey.

The question is: will they be so honest at the mercy of the manoeuvres?
