A Ming army came from outside Xifengkou, but they didn't come here to visit them, and the two guards of Xifengkou, Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu, were also quite surprised.

But when they figured out each other's identities, they were also a little scared.

It turned out that Sun Yuanhua, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, personally arrived with a part of the new army.

Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu hurriedly brought a batch of supplies, and also brought almost all the civil and military officials to the outside of Sun Yuanhua's military camp.

As a result, Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu looked up, but saw that on the barracks of the new army, in addition to the unique battle flag of the Ming army, there was also another battle flag, which read the Fourth Division of the Ming Guards Artillery.

The two of them, Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu, glanced at each other, and they were also a little stunned.

Didn't you say that the new army was fighting under the banner of Jinyiwei?

How did it become a Guards again?

Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu had never heard of the Ming Dynasty saying that there were any guards.

In fact, just before Sun Yuanhua's army set out, Zhu Youxiao gave them a battle flag, which said that the Fourth Artillery Division of the Ming Guards Army had completely stripped the new army from the Jinyi Guard.

At the same time, the remaining 23,000 infantry, Zhu Youxiao also changed them into three divisions.

Zhu Youxiao divided the 20,000 men into two parts.

Directly named part of it as the First Division of the Guards Army, and the other part as the Second Division of the Guards Army, Qin Liangyu's 3,000 troops were directly named the Third Division of the Guards Army.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao directly ordered Lu Xiang to be promoted to the commander of the First Division of the Guards Army, and let Sun Chuanting be the deputy commander of the First Division of the Guards Army.

Then, Zhu Youxiao ordered Xu Xianchun to be the commander of the Second Division of the Guards Army, and Qin Zuoming to be the deputy commander of the Second Division of the Guards Army.

He then made Qin Liangyu the commander of the Third Division of the Guards Army, and made Qin Zuoming the deputy commander of the Third Division of the Guards Army.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also has a battalion of 3,000 warriors and 4,000 Absolute Sound Guards, two powerful armies.

On the side of the 4th Artillery Division of the Guards Army, the situation is more special.

There is only one division commander, Sun Yuanhua, and even a deputy division commander has not yet been decided.

However, the Fourth Artillery Division of the Guards Army has only transported more than 80 artillery pieces here, and more than a dozen are still on the way, or are being manufactured.

But even after the manufacture was completed, the Fourth Artillery Division of the Guards Army only had more than 90 artillery pieces.

Although more artillery will be produced in the future, it will also be enriched into the Fourth Guards Artillery Corps, and a real artillery division will be formed.

But in the way they are now, it is really a bit too much to say that it is an artillery division.

Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu came to the Fourth Artillery Division of the Guards Army, and the news had been collected by the artillery division scouts and reported to Sun Yuanhua.

After a while, Sun Yuanhua also led the artillery division under his command, Wenwu, and came out to greet Ma Quanrong, Zhou Chenghu and others.

"This is Sun Shilang of the Ministry of Works, right?"

"We also just heard that you have led the army to Xifengkou, it is really an honor for me to wait, we have raised a batch of supplies, and specially came to visit Sun Shilang, so as to comfort the brothers of the new army."

Sun Yuanhua arched his hand and said: "The two of you took time out of their busy schedules to come here and offer us condolences, and we are also very grateful. ”

"Why don't you sit down in the barracks and talk?"

When Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu heard Sun Yuanhua's words, they were also overjoyed.

In any case, this Sun Yuanhua is not only a civil official with a high status, but also an upstart of His Majesty, and he is able to speak in front of His Majesty.

If they hook up with Sun Yuanhua...... Yes......... No! … It's a little bit related, and then the benefits are also huge.

The two sides returned to the barracks, and the guests sat down, and Sun Yuanhua was also unceremonious, and sat directly in the main seat.

Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, but they found that the wine glass was filled with water.

Sun Yuanhua also saw the surprise of Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu, and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty has reconfirmed the military regulations of the new army, and alcohol is not allowed in the barracks, and I don't want to violate Your Majesty's taboo." ”

When Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu heard this, they were also a little embarrassed, and put down the water cup in their hands.

What is so good about this water, it is better to wait until it is closed, and the two of them will have a few more drinks.

Ma Quanrong came out and bowed his hand to Sun Yuanhua and said, "Sun Shilang, since you came here with artillery, and you still have so many cannons, why don't you station them in our city?" ”

"If the new troops are stationed inside our wall, we will have enough barracks for you to rest."

"It's too hard to be stationed in the wilderness after all."

Although Sun Yuanhua lived outside the city, it was Zhu Youxiao who gave him the order, but he couldn't say that.

Sun Yuanhua just said: "We have carried a lot of supplies, artillery and personnel, if we are suddenly stationed in the wall, it will definitely affect you, and it will inevitably affect your life." ”

"If it only affects your life, this official can still be cheeky, but it affects the defense of your Xifengkou, then it's really terrible."

The other people present were basically not stupid, they obviously saw that Sun Yuanhua said this, but in fact, he was full of shirk, and I am afraid that there was not even a word of truth in it.

But when people say so, they can't do anything about it.

It's just that Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu glanced at each other, and their eyes revealed some different meanings.

Zhou Chenghu arched his hand again and asked Sun Yuanhua: "Sun Shilang, I heard that Your Majesty sent you here, and there will be a considerable number of troops coming later, and Your Majesty will also drive the expedition in person at that time, I don't know if these words are true or false, let us prepare in advance, don't wait until Your Majesty comes, we will make some jokes in a hurry." ”

This is no secret, and there is no need for Sun Yuanhua to hide anymore.

He just said with some emotion: "Although the two generals are not in the imperial court, they are really familiar with the affairs of the imperial court. ”

Sun Yuanhua said a few words, but Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu were also panicked.

When they looked at Sun Yuanhua again, they felt that the other party was quite extraordinary.

They used to think that the ministers of the eunuch party were a bunch of insatiable guys, and they didn't have much ability.

But now that they see Sun Yuanhua's appearance, they feel that this rumor may not be true.

They also heard that this Sun Yuanhua was personally promoted by His Majesty, which was even more rare.

It's just that Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu glanced at each other, and they both stood up, seriously bowed their hands to Sun Yuanhua, and said: "Sun Shilang, this Xifeng can't come out, the risk is too great, and Jiannu is not easy to provoke." ”
