Xia Jing and Li Chengmu traveled, and the guards on the left and right before and after the protection were all ironclad knights who were one in a million, well-equipped, solemn, and majestic.

Today, the mother and son are preparing to leave the city and go to the Gyeonggi camp.

Li Chengmu felt a burning gaze fall on him, and looked back along the induction, and found that the girl standing by the window had a gentle temperament and a sweet appearance. But he only glanced at it one more time before withdrawing his gaze.

Xia Jing also noticed the girl, seeing that she was dressed as a person from the south, her skin was white and red, delicate but not rough.

"Little Wu, have you noticed? As long as you travel, there are a lot of girls by the windows on both sides of the street, it seems that you are doing well in the capital! ”

Facing the ridicule of the queen mother, Li Chengmu said without changing his face: "They are here for the identity of your son, do you want such a daughter-in-law?" ”

Xia Jing raised her eyes and glanced at the street windows on both sides of the street, there were really many girls who were shy and astringent and half-covered their faces, "I have no opinion on this, as long as my son likes it, I can do it no matter what, you choose a daughter-in-law to be a person who wants to live with you for a lifetime, if you don't like it and become a resentful couple, then it's not beautiful!" ”

Li Chengmu didn't believe her words or not, but still thanked him: "That son first thank his mother for the fulfillment!" ”

"My son is eighteen, it's time to find a girl to marry, if you like it, remember to tell your mother, and help your mother to propose." Xia Jing glanced at the high-spirited young man next to her, and silently recited Amitabha Buddha in her heart, the young seedlings that had just grown up were urged to marry by her, sin!

"There's no rush for a big marriage!" Li Chengmu refused without hesitation.

Xia Jing glanced at her son, who was still unenlightened, and thought that it would be okay to do this, and then get married in a few years, and be relatively mature.

Thinking of this, she turned her head sideways and asked Ye Fei, who was following her: "Since Xiao Wu returned to the capital, have any of the major families returned to Beijing?" ”

Ye Fei raised his eyebrows: "You guessed right, since His Royal Highness returned to Beijing, some families have arranged for people to enter Beijing, and they have one thing in common, that is, there are young ladies of the right age in the accompanying team to return to Beijing together." ”

Xia Jing sighed when she heard this, "Xiao Wu, these ladies of the family are all running for you, be careful when you go out recently, don't follow other people's ways, if you are relied on, you won't be able to get out." ”

When Li Chengmu heard this, his face darkened, and he said in shame: "Queen Mother, aren't you still looking forward to your son's wellness?" ”

Xia Jing saw that he was forced by himself, and she was overjoyed: "Haha, okay, the queen mother wishes you to find the girl you like as soon as possible!" ”

Out of the city, the group sped up and arrived at the location of the Gyeonggi camp in less than half an hour.

After Zhenghe surrendered, he followed the border army to go deep into the grassland to raid, and later came to the capital with him, and he and the team he led had been in the Gyeonggi camp for half a month.

Xia Jing didn't say how to arrange them, staying in the Gyeonggi camp every day except training is training.

As rebels, they have never had such a strong training program, and it can be said that they have been trained to shed their skin in the past half a month.

But the gains are also huge, and the physical fitness of this rebel army has improved a lot.

When Xia Jing and his party appeared outside the Gyeonggi camp, Chi Zhongjun's eyesight was good, and he immediately found the unique red military robe of Xia Jing's personal guard.

He trotted to Zhenghe and said excitedly: "General, Niangniang is here!" She's finally showing up! ”

Zhenghe asked the brothers to train first, and when he looked up, Xia Jing led the guard battalion to ride in from the gate of the camp.

He said to Chi Zhongjun: "Let's go, let's go and say goodbye to Niangniang!" ”

As soon as Xia Jing entered the Gyeonggi camp, Feng Tu, who came back with Li Chengmu, greeted her.

"The last general has seen Niangniang, and has seen His Highness!"

"Excuse me!" Xia Jing was about to ask him how he was training with the team he was leading, when he saw Zhenghe and Chi Zhongjun coming over.

"The last general has seen Niangniang and His Highness."

Xia Jing got off the horse, threw the reins to the guards next to her, and joked to Zhenghe: "No courtesy, I haven't seen you impatient for half a month." ”

Zhenghe followed her words and replied: "The last general is soft-spoken, I am afraid that there are many nobles and nobles, and the last general and others are forgotten. ”

"Haha. What you say is above board! Xia Jing turned around and walked towards the meeting hall, "Let's go, let's go in and say something." ”

In the conference hall of the big camp, everyone sat down.

Xia Jing glanced at Zhenghe and said to Feng Tu, "How are they training?" ”

Feng Tu replied with a smile: "I have strengthened the training for them, and after half a month, no one has given up, and the performance is remarkable." ”

Xia Jing nodded after hearing this: "The autumn harvest is over, and Beidi, who wants to come to the north, is about to move again, and when you have reorganized your team, you will rush to the border pass to support the border army." So the harder you train now, the more you are responsible, the more responsible you are for your lives. ”

When Zhenghe heard this, he said gratefully: "The last general understands that raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, and the soldiers have no complaints about training!" ”

"That's good."

Saying that, Xia Jing looked at Feng Tu: "Reorganize the soldiers under Zheng and his subordinates, disperse and reorganize them into various battalions, and when the run-in period between them and the soldiers of the team passes, they will be pulled out and stationed at the border pass of the Great Wall in Bingzhou." ”

"The last general obeys!" Feng Tu clenched his fists.

Xia Jing looked at Zhenghe again and said, "The last time you raided the grassland tribe in Youzhou, your performance was good, so you were temporarily promoted from guerrilla to General Feng's deputy general, and Chi Zhongjun was promoted to guerrilla. I hope that you can obey the orders when you arrive at the border pass, cooperate well with the border army to guard the border pass, and don't let the Beidi Tartars break the pass! ”

After two years of recuperation, the people had just lived a few days of peace, and she didn't want to be destroyed by the Beidi Tartars again.

In fact, Xia Jing wants to train a cavalry to take the initiative to attack Beidi, but the current situation in Dayu must be settled first outside the country.

At present, Dayu must concentrate all his forces to pacify the rebels in Xianqingyan and Yan Prefectures, and only when the country is stable can he devote his energy to dealing with foreign enemies.

At the same time, the rebels in the two states of Qingyan have already assembled the rebels of the two states, including 2,000 newly trained musketeers.

However, two thousand musketeers, if it is a flintlock pistol, is not small.

But they are all newly trained, plus they are arquebuses eliminated by the imperial court, although they are powerful, they are not to be feared.

Qingzhou gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses to arrange to defend the border between Jizhou and Youzhou in Qingzhou.

Yanzhou also gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses to defend the border between Jizhou and Yuzhou in Yanzhou.

The 100,000 soldiers and horses rebel puppet court claimed to be 300,000 troops, and they sent troops on a large scale, obviously wanting to carry out a big counterattack before the snow in winter.

The imperial court has always been ready to move against the rebels in Qingyan and Yanzhou, and also wants to pacify the rebels of the puppet court in one fell swoop when the autumn is high and the horse is fat.

At the end of the autumn harvest, the grain of both sides has entered the granary, and the grain and grass do not have to worry, which is an excellent time for the two sides to fight.

The puppet imperial court only fought for this blow, and even Prince Ning, who had been hiding behind the rebels as an invisible man, stood up and rushed to the front of the battle to cheer for the rebels.

The puppet Prince Ning and Qin Lang are inseparable in the military camp, and in front of people, almost Qin Lang is one step behind Prince Ning, in fact, everyone knows that Qin Lang has the final say in all matters in Qingyan and Qingyan Prefectures, and it is his word.

As for the situation on the border between the two states of Qingyan, Qin Lang knows everything about it, and they must win this counteroffensive.

The imperial court understood the dynamics of the rebels on the front line, and Li Jingfu was very self-aware, handed over the command of the front line to Xia Jing, and sent the newly recruited 100,000 soldiers to the front line and handed them over to the commander appointed by Xia Jing to command.

Xia Jing received a letter from Jiankang and said to Li Chengmu: "Is your father the emperor considered to be a shopkeeper?" ”

Li Chengmu scratched his nose and didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only comfort: "My father has always trusted you very much, and he dares to hand over the military power in his hands to you, which shows that he is single-minded and has no second heart for you." ”

When Xia Jing heard this, her teeth were sour, not for anything else, what was single-minded, whoever believes in this kind of thing is a fool.

Although she is not in Jiankang, she is also well aware of Jiankang's situation, although Li Jingfu listens to her in major matters and respects her.

However, he is not less embracing left and right in Jiankang, a lot of age, and he doesn't understand health at all. Recently, I heard that there is already a beautiful woman in his harem.

Adding an heir is also a big deal, she didn't see Li Jingfu tell her about it?

didn't want to talk about Li Jingfu's ups and downs, Xia Jing talked about counterinsurgency.

"In the battle of counterinsurgency, I am ready to hand over the decision-making power of the front line to the Dragon Prison Army, do you have any disagreement on this?"

Long Yutian is seriously his military advisor, and he has no opinion on Xia Jing's arrangement Li Chengmu, after all, Long Yutian's name as Sai Zhuge is not in vain.

He is extremely relieved to have real skills to do things.

"Everything is arranged by the queen mother, and the ability of the Dragon Prison Army is obvious to all, and I have no opinion on this."

Since her son had no opinion, Xia Jing sent a letter to Long Yutian, who was far away in Jizhou.

Along with the letter, there were also 20,000 ordnance and equipment recently built by the Military War Bureau, which were all equipped by Long Yutian with new soldiers.

The counterinsurgency army of the imperial court is well-equipped and well-trained, especially the flintlock battalion and the steel cannon battalion, which should not be underestimated, and the lethality against the rebels is even more amazing.

This large-scale counterinsurgency campaign was an almost predictable victory.

The difference between foresight and reality is probably that the casualties of the two armies are immeasurable, and there are some discrepancies.

An army of 100,000 marched to the border between Yangzhou and Yanzhou.

The people in Jiankang City and nearby heard the news, and they went out of the city to see them off when they had time.

Looking at the back of the army, everyone was very excited, hidden their worries, and prayed for victory in this battle, pacifying the two states as soon as possible, and returning the people to a stable living environment.

"It seems that the emperor's determination to pacify the two states of Qingyan is firm!"

"You say, if you come back from this expedition, it should be that the world is peaceful, right?"

"Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and no one dares to draw conclusions about things that have no results, I just hope that this time it will be successful!"

The people finally settled down, and no one wanted Dayu to experience internal and external troubles again.

"I heard that the generalissimo who commanded the counterinsurgency this time is called Sai Zhuge and is a person who does not lose to Zhuge in strategy, and he should be no problem with him in command!"

"Known as Sai Zhuge he is really better than Kong Ming, and you are too naïve."

"Brother, which side are you? You don't like him? ”

"I don't think it's useless, if he really has the ability, let's wait for the results of the counterinsurgency, if this counterinsurgency is victorious, then you will be convinced if you call him Sai Zhuge in the future!"

"Shhhh Does it matter if you are convinced? Others are still the bosses of the emperor and empress! ”

Don't look at the people fighting, in fact, everyone doesn't have much worry in their hearts, because according to the current situation in the imperial court, it has slowly recovered from erosion.

They believe that in the near future, the Yu Dynasty will prosper.

While both the rebels and the imperial court were preparing for war, no one expected that a fleet was slowly approaching the Qingzhou wharf.

Lingshan Wei, surrounded by mountains in the northwest, swirling the sea in the southeast, Lingdao is in front of the screen, the Great Wall is surrounded by the back, it is an important consolidation of the coastal defense post of the Yu Dynasty, an important military fortification to defend against pirates and foreign yi.

After the rebels occupied Qingzhou, they had been focusing their main efforts on fighting against the imperial soldiers, and did not pay enough attention to the guards along the coast.

For them, the soldiers and horses of the court are their worst enemies.

When the rebel soldiers and horses and the imperial court soldiers and horses confronted each other on the border between Qingyan and Jiyang Youzhou, dozens of large sea ships appeared on the sea under the jurisdiction of Lingshanwei.

At this time, if the Lingshan Guard Station was stationed with soldiers, he would be surprised to see the ships appearing on the sea.

The flag of this fleet is Lee, so many large sea ships appear on the coast, it is obvious that the people who came are not good!

After these ships docked at the docks, they quickly disembarked from the ships.

These soldiers will come down from the ship, and they are all in good spirits, and it can be seen from their mental outlook that these soldiers have long been accustomed to life at sea.

Judging from the flag, familiar people must have seen that this fleet is Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses, which belongs to the Nanyang Naval Corps and is directly under the command of Xia Jing, and is specifically responsible for the military jurisdiction of Nanyang and some surrounding areas.

Leaving some of the soldiers to guard the fleet, the other soldiers set off in full gear, and their mission this time was to stab the Qingzhou rebels in the empty back.

If you miss the point, you will be stabbed again, and you will never stop until you are bleeding or fatal.

In fact, it was an expedition to come to the Lingshan Guard from Nanyang.

"In fact, the expedition consumes extremely food and grass, and it is very difficult to supply later, so I don't know what the situation is on the front line?"

Niu Debao said as he walked with a big knife.

He was originally stationed in Lingnan and was the chief soldier of the Jieyang Guard Station in Lingnan, but this time, at the order of Xia Jing, he cooperated with Li Dingguo to carry out a sneak attack behind the enemy's back, and came over by boat with soldiers and horses.

Li Dingguo asked people to check the situation of the Lingshan Guardhouse, listened to his words, and turned around and said: "Mr. Niu, don't worry, Niang Niang will definitely think about it if she makes such an arrangement." ”

What he didn't say was that except for the team transporting Niu Debao, the other ships were loaded with a lot of grain.

It is enough to ensure their supply, and there are many who have to supply grain and grass to the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

This is also one of their missions this time, to carry out a sneak attack behind the enemy's back.

Second, by the way, it brought the imperial court soldiers and horses to supply grain and grass.

Of course, there was grain and grass on the ship, but Li Dingguo still didn't tell Niu Debao, not that he didn't trust him, but the fewer people knew the hole cards before the war, the safer!

If the enemy knew about it and set fire to his ship, he would not be able to cry!

As soon as they got off the ship, they went to the front to listen to the news before they got off the boat, and the soldiers who disembarked began to reorganize the army.

When the army is completed here, the fastest night will not be recovered.

"General, the front guard post is deserted, except for a few villagers from the fishing village, there is no one else!"

Li Dingguo sneered when he heard this: "It's also sad to say, the three thousand households of the guard house are so deserted, what kind of situation will happen if you say that the Japanese and pirates are here today?" ”
