Chapter 269: Prelude to the Dispatch of Troops
Two months passed in a flash, and the day of the army was fast approaching.
Beijing City, Jingying.
I saw Wanli standing on the platform, and the six ministers of the imperial court gathered here, in addition to the nobles and generals who were going to lead the troops.
Located below the Dianjiangtai is a square, and the empty square gathers the excited soldiers of the Beijing camp, who are looking at Wanli on the stage excitedly at the moment.
The previous battles have given them a taste of sweetness, for them, it is a small country with a small number of pirates, it is not a matter of raising their hands to destroy things, this is simply a credit for nothing.
Moreover, they had seen the fierceness of the Changning army, and they didn't need them to take action, and the Japanese Kou had already been wiped out. They should only go on a trip at public expense.
Wanli glanced at the soldiers in the audience, stepped forward, and shouted: "Soldiers, raise the prestige of our country!" ”
The soldiers in the audience clenched their fists and shouted: "Raise the prestige of our country, raise the prestige of our country!" ”
Wanli looked at the excited soldiers, nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Zhang Juzheng on the side, and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you have anything else to say?" ”
Zhang Juzheng bowed his hand to Wanli, and then stepped forward and said slowly: "When you arrive in North Korea, you must obey the general's order and strictly prohibit private action." ”
"It is not allowed to harm the people, it will damage the majesty of our Celestial Empire."
"Always remember that your every move represents the Ming Dynasty."
“.......”
Zhang Juzheng said more than ten things in a row, and when he heard that the soldiers below were sleepy, even a few ministers frowned slightly, not to mention Wanli.
Shen Shixing said in a low voice: "Uncle, uncle... Click to the end, click to the end. ”
Zhang Juzheng listened to the movement, looked at the drowsy people, and his face turned dark. Then he yelled in retaliation: "Go!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone woke up instantly. Wanli was frightened, and then shouted again: "Go!" ”
Suddenly, the army began to slowly walk out of the capital camp. In a short time, the originally crowded square soon became empty and deserted.
"Your Majesty, the cabinet still has some things to deal with, so the old minister will retire first." Zhang Juzheng bowed to Wanli, and then rushed to the cabinet with a few cabinet ministers, ready to deal with today's work.
After seeing Zhang Juzheng leaving, Zhang Yun came up: "Your Majesty, the minister should also retire." ”
Wanli waved his hand and asked suspiciously: "Isn't the Changning Army not on the list of the first batch to enter the DPRK?" ”
Zhang Yun nodded and said, "It's not in the first list, but I have to pull the troops to Qingdao first." When the time comes, you can directly pass through the sailors and land in North Korea. ”
"Let's go, let's go, even you're gone. I was left alone in the capital.
What else does I mean as an emperor? ”
Zhang Yun saw that Wanli was like a resentful woman, and secretly laughed. He forcibly suppressed a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the minister promises to come back as soon as possible." Also, if Zhang Shoufu wants to reach out to your inner library, you might as well lean on him first. ”
This silver has a way for you to earn, don't hurt the harmony of your monarchs and ministers because of a little silver taels. ”
Wanli was worrying about this matter recently, and when he heard that Zhang Yun had a way to solve it, he looked at Zhang Yun with surprise: "Really?!" ”
"How dare the minister lie to you?" Zhang Yun bowed his hand to Wanli, and then said: "The minister has to go back and say goodbye to his wife first, it is inconvenient to serve the emperor here." ”
After that, Zhang Yun pulled away and went straight back to his home.
Zhu Ziyi just gave birth to a daughter for him last month, and Zhang Yun named her Zhang Xuan. When he got home, Zhang Yun couldn't wait to come to Zhu Ziyi's bedroom.
As soon as he arrived outside the bedroom, he heard the laughter of a woman like a silver bell inside, and Zhang Yun pushed the door in. I saw Zhu Ziyi lying on the bed, Xu Miaoxue and Xu Xi sitting on the edge of the bed and gossiping with Zhu Ziyi.
"Husband!"
Seeing Zhang Yun coming in, Xu Xi and Zhu Ziyi hurriedly shouted in surprise. Zhang Yun responded with a smile, and then saluted Xu Miaoxue.
Xu Miaoxue bowed sideways to Zhang Yun, and then left under the pretext of having something.
Immediately, only Zhang Yun and his wife were left in the house. Zhu Ziyi was still about to struggle to get up, but Zhang Yun hurriedly held her down: "You just lie down, I'll take a look at Xuan'er." ”
After that, Zhang Yun picked up Zhang Xuan, who was still asleep. Looking at her closed eyes, fleshy little face, and listening to her even breathing, Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of pity. I couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face.
Xu Xi hurriedly snatched Zhang Xuan and said, "Husband, don't wake up this little ancestor, otherwise it will be me and the girl in purple who will suffer." ”
Zhang Yun smiled and began to change the topic: "By the way, what about Zhu'er and Liang'er?" ”
"Liang'er was taken by her mother-in-law, and Zhu'er was taken care of by my mother."
When Zhang Yun heard this, no wonder Xu Xi was so idle, it turned out that the two children were not around. As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yun ignored Zhu Ziyi's presence and directly confronted Xu Xi.
"Why are you doing, my sister is still here? Don't scare the kids. Xu Xi hurriedly slapped Zhang Yun's dishonest big hand.
Zhang Yun said aggrievedly: "I'm going to Qingdao tomorrow." ”
The second daughter exclaimed, "Why is it so fast? ”
"Alas, the war is tight. I heard that this time the Japanese invaders claimed to be more than 100,000 troops, although there was an element of false reporting, but there were still tens of thousands. ”
Seeing Xu Xi and Zhu Ziyi's worried expressions, Zhang Yun hugged the two of them and said with relief: "But don't worry, it's not the first time I've led the army." ”
Recently, our Changning Army has been replaced with a new type of firearm. The warship is also equipped with brand new artillery, and the little Japanese can be destroyed with a single hand. ”
After the two girls heard this, they calmed down, Zhang Yun shrank on the bed and hugged them quietly, and time seemed to stand still. It wasn't until late in the evening that someone came to call for dinner that they woke them up.
After a hurried dinner, Zhang Yun came to Zhu Ziyi's room to accompany her until late at night, and did not leave until Zhu Ziyi fell asleep and returned to his bedroom.
As soon as I returned to the bedroom, I saw Xu Xi lying on the bed in single clothes, looking at him with silky eyes. Zhang Yun chuckled, and then stepped forward to hug her, and after a while, the spring in the house was infinite.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yun got up early, washed up, and went straight to the garrison of the Changning Army. At this time, they did not know the news of the upcoming reorganization, and their faces were still full of excited smiles.
Zhang Yun glanced at Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu nodded, and then shouted: "Go, target Qingdao." ”
Half an hour later.
"Stampede and ......" more than 10,000 cavalry galloped on the official road from Beijing to Shandong. I saw that the first person was seven feet tall, wearing golden armor, and chasing the wind and fierce horses under his crotch. It was Zhang Yun who came out of Beijing City.
"Hurry up, let's try to get to Qingdao today. Shen Lian was there to prepare delicious food and wine for us. ”
As soon as these words came out, the speed of the team suddenly increased. Zhang Yun chuckled lightly, increased his strength, and slapped the war horse under his crotch.
In the evening of the same day, the group finally rushed to the boundary of Qingdao. Zhang Yun waved his hand to slow down his subordinates, then turned over and dismounted, and asked people to take their war horses to the stables.
Shen Lian had divided the rest area for the Changning Army early, and soon there were special people with the soldiers of the Changning Army to the station.
The night is like water, Qingdao in March, the new green willow branches are swaying in the wind, and the restaurants and pavilions everywhere reflect each other. A gust of wind blew, and the willow trees on the shore floated all over the sky, adding some different scenery to this spring day.
Qingdao Wharf, the largest port to the sea in the Ming Dynasty, is a little deserted, not as lively as before. After the invasion of Korea by the Japanese invaders, Zhang Yun ordered stationary caravans to go to sea, which was naturally more to protect them.
At this moment, the dock was full of warships, and Zhang Yun had to give an order to go to North Korea to participate in this battle.
Twenty minutes along the pier is Zhang Yun's residence. Although it was late at night, his house was already brightly lit, and there were still figures moving in the room, and there were still voices coming from the Tao.
I saw Zhang Yun sitting on a chair, and there was a rough man standing in front of him, and that person was Zhang Long, who was incorporated by Zhang Yun.
Zhang Long arched his hand at Zhang Yunyi: "Master Hou, my sailor has just been established, if I have a hard encounter with the Japanese Kou, I am afraid it will be difficult to please." I advise Master Hou to think twice. ”
"Aren't we armed with new artillery? Isn't that okay? Zhang Yun asked rhetorically.
Zhang Long smiled bitterly: "In the end, the Japanese are island countries, and they go to sea every day. If we meet him head-on, uh....."
Zhang Yun's face turned cold, and he said, "Then you say, it will take a few months to compete with them." ”
"A year, oh no, half a year."
Zhang Yun shook his head again and again: "No, no, it's been too long." I'll give you three months at most, and after three months I have to go. ”
"Master Hou, three months is too hasty."
Zhang Yun glared at him and said coldly: "If I listen to opinions, not suggestions." You've been training for more than a year, and if you can't make it, don't blame me. ”
Zhang Long felt the change in Zhang Yun's aura, so he had to nod helplessly.
Zhang Yun saw him respond and waved his hand to him: "You go out, I'm a little sleepy." ”
"Yes!" Zhang Long bowed his fist at Zhang Yun, and then walked out of Zhang Yun's residence.
As soon as Zhang Long walked out, Zhang Yun lay on the bed and began to think about where the troops should go next
This time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi brought out all the power that he could bring in the country.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi estimated that during the Jiajing period, some small ronins were able to make great waves in the southeast. I also feel that the military strength of the Ming Dynasty is similar to that of the Jiajing period.
As everyone knows, the Ming Dynasty has passed the Longqing switch, coupled with Zhang Juzheng's ten-year reform. Today, the Ming Dynasty is at its peak.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yun felt a little more relieved. Even if this national war is fought for three years, five years, or ten years, Daming has the capital to afford it.
But Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't afford to drag it out, and now Japan is already rotten, and Tokugawa Ieyasu is ready to move.
"Tokugawa Ieyasu?" Zhang Yun thought of this name and suddenly jumped up from the bed. I already have a way to deal with it in my mind.
