Wang Qiben didn't have any expectations for the Jingying troops of the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning, one of the disputes between Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong was to call the Beijing camp to supplement the Liaodong troops, but Xiong Tingbi thought that the Beijing camp was overwhelmed and cost money, and strongly objected.

After all, during the Zhengde Dynasty, Wu Zong from the Beijing camp of the outer four in the Mongolian battlefield is also a lot of meritorious service, compared to the long time no military affairs of the hometown of the selection of the battalion, at that time the combat power of the outer four is greatly enhanced, and later after the Jiajing, and the outer four, the old system of Yongle was restored, with the three battalions as the mainstay, when it was, the Beijing camp was mainly subordinate to the internal supervisor, the lack of good pay and generals, and did not prevent its decay, to the Wanli period, although Zhang Juzheng was a little cheered up, but in the long run, the Beijing camp is still more and more decayed, Shangguan is greedy for ink, The subordinate officials of the battalion were brutal and unkind, and the low-level officials, in addition to being attached to the superiors, were deserted from the army, became soldiers and bandits, or degraded untouchables, and could only endanger the lower level of the people.

Nowadays, most of the Beijing camps of the Apocalypse Dynasty are even more crippled among the crippled, incompetent among the incompetent.

Three months ago, when the war in Liaodong was scorching, in order to strengthen the defense of the Gyeonggi area, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had ordered the military department yamen to select more than 10,000 elite soldiers from the Beijing camp, and they were trained by the military department yamen and the five military governors' offices, and the celebrant and internal supervisor were the governors.

At first, there was a look, but later Wang Qi came out of nowhere and smashed the Houjin attempt to occupy the Liao River in one fell swoop, and the Gyeonggi regimental training slowly stopped.

Now, Wang Qi is standing in the Xishan school field, looking at the more than 5,000 soldiers not far away, silent.

"Lang Guogong, this is already the most elite unit of the entire three major battalions," Sun Chengzong accompanied Wang Qi to the school field, and said helplessly: "This is still a joint order of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, otherwise, there will be no five thousand people."

"Empty salary?" Wang Qi turned his head to look at the gray-bearded Sun Chengzong.

"Partly, not all," Sun Cheng shook his head, and finally added: "Even in the Hongwu period, the military status is too cheap, and Yongle is even more so, after more than two hundred and fifty years, it can make up for the shortage of soldiers owed by the guard system, so that the imperial court falters and moves forward."

"Of course, the elite division of Liaodong under the command of the Duke of Langguo should not be among what the old man said," Sun Chengzong was old and refined, looked at Wang Qimo and said: "However, Liaodong is flooded with private soldiers, and the imperial court has also heard of it.

Wang Qi smiled when he heard this: "Thank you Lord Sun for reminding me." ”

"Let's go to Dianjiangtai," Sun Chengzong made a gesture of invitation, Wang Qi nodded, and walked side by side.

After a short time, under the stage, three commanders and envoys who looked like military attaches bowed to Wang Qi:

"The last general will meet your lordship!"

"Three adults, please get up," Wang Qi nodded, here are the three commanders who are going to Jizhou Mansion with him, and they are also the military attachés with the highest rank below the rank of the three battalions.

And behind the three military attachés, there was also a eunuch holding a dust-whisk: "Our family Li Ruoyu, meet Lang Guogong, meet Lord Sun!" ”

Li Ruoyu, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, one of Wei Zhongxian's special pens, and the author of the widely circulated "Zhi Zhong Zhi" in later generations, the most controversial place for this person is whether he is traitorous or loyal, and there is no conclusion in the end, whether he was deceived by Wei Zhongxian and wronged, or in order to survive, he wrote the Zhi Zhong Zhi to take refuge in Donglin? It is most debated by later generations of readers

However, Wang Qi can't think about these things now, and he is not interested.

Looking at this dog-legged eunuch of Wei Zhongxian, who is also the supervisor of the three major battalions, Wang Qi smiled and said, "Gonggong Li, you are also here to supervise the army today?" ”

"Where is the Duke of Langguo, in the entire Ming Dynasty, who is qualified to be the overseer of the Duke of Langguo? Wouldn't that be incompatible with the heavenly martial arts? Our family was ordered by the Celebrant Supervisor Wei Gonggong to come to say a word for the adult, "Li Ruoyu looked red and smiled, obviously in the Celebrant Supervisor, he was majestic.

Hearing that the celebrant brought a message to Wang Qi, the three commanders and Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the military department, all retreated to the side with interest, beware of the suspicion of melon fields and plums.

And Wang Qi squinted his eyes and looked at Li Ruoyu silently, and the master of ceremonies came to pass the word, that is what the emperor meant. At this time, Zhu Youxiao's mind began to come alive again?

The sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, full of calculations, after Taizu and Chengzu, are all uncertain!

"Only after Dingjinggi can the Quartet be towned, if Jinggi is fixed, then the world is safe, please Langguo Gong must plow the court and sweep the caves, and make every effort to quell the disaster of the chaotic people, so as to set the hearts of the army," Li Ruoyu said, it was not an oracle, at most it was the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse relayed by Wei Zhongxian, and then sent someone to tell Wang Qi.

But what does that mean?

Gyeonggi is settled and Sifang is safe?

"After retiring from the dynasty yesterday, the Holy Lord has secretly ordered Liaodong to pass through Xiong Tingbi, and recently started preparations to recover Shenyang." Li Ruoyu took two steps forward and approached Wang Qi: "What does Gonggong Wei mean, if Xiong Tingbi's strength is not enough, please prepare for Langguo as soon as possible!" ”

Wang Qi's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Go back and tell your admiral, if you have something to say, let him talk to me himself!" ”

Gestures?

A house slave, is he qualified enough?

Whether or not to go to Liaodong is his own business, a eunuch party, and he also deserves to send someone to pass on his message?

Wang Qi didn't say anything, and ignored Li Ruoyu, who stayed where he was and didn't react, and turned around and walked directly to Dianjiangtai.

At this time, Sun Chengzong and others had already put their soldiers in order, and they could set off at any time when Wang Qi ordered the generals.

"Cut off three animals, sacrifice to the martial saint, and raise the handsome flag!" The ceremonial officer stood on the stage and gave orders to the officials on the school grounds.

Throughout the school field, more than 5,000 soldiers stood silently, waiting for the legendary Langguo Gong to give them an order.

"Ben General only received the order yesterday, let me select the elite of the Beijing camp and rush to Jizhou to quell the civil unrest." Wang Qi took two steps, looked at the soldiers in the audience, and said loudly: "I said to Lord Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of War at that time, I have always led Liaodong soldiers, the armor is neat, the soldiers are sharp, and the golden eight banners are like chopping melons and vegetables!" As for Jingying? Tsk tsk."

Wang Qi's face was filled with a touch of regret: "I have never been able to get on the stage!" ”

The more than 5,000 people in the audience were carefully selected by Sun Chengzong and the three major commanders, some of them were angry, and some of them were grateful for their family and country.

And Sun Chengzong and the three major commanders all glanced at each other, and there was some worry in their eyes about what Lang Guogong was doing? It's not a good sign to stimulate these soldiers!

In the audience, Li Ruoyu, who had not yet left, also sneered, this Wang Qi was arrogant, and before he left the camp in Xishan, he made the generals alienate and suspicious of each other.

After all, excluding those who eat empty salaries, there are nearly 80,000 people in the entire Beijing camp, and the 5,000 people carefully selected from the 80,000 people are also considered elite.

"But just now, Lord Sun of the Ministry of War told me that these five thousand people, the old man assures you that the elite of the elite is no worse than your Liaodong Iron Cavalry!" Wang Qi smiled, ignored the buzz in the audience, and continued: "I said, believe his words, it is better to see his deeds, whether he is elite or not, go to Jizhou Mansion, and you will know if you have a try!" ”

"It is a great shame for our soldiers to empty the edge of the old spring forest! When life and death are on the battlefield, drink the blood of the enemy," Wang Qi pressed the long knife in his hand and shouted: "Are you willing?" ”

"Yan Xiwu is willing!"

"Pang Yongzhuang is willing to follow the adult!"

"Tian Jin'an is willing to serve the adult!"

The answers were few, but with firmness and confidence.

On the high platform, Wang Shouxin has already taken people with him, and the names of these people are recorded - Haojie has always been in the army, and Xu is empty in the old spring.

Among these people, there may be generals who can lead one side in the future.

"Whoever goes out with a certain expedition and returns victoriously, he will be promoted to the first class, and each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver," Wang Qi continued to open the price code: "Is there anyone else willing?" ”

"We do!" Nearly half of the soldiers began to speak, and a large number of soldiers began to wave the soldiers in their hands: "Serve your lord!" ”

"The chaos is just a piece of cake, if you are really elite, in the near future, the battle of the Houjin Annihilation of the Kingdom, you can also go! Kill Jiannu, cut down the Eight Banners, and crush Hetuala! Leave a name in the history of the country, and be knighted! Wang Qi waved his hand, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and pointed obliquely at the sky: "Qingshan buries the bones of loyalty, and the horse leather shroud is returned!" ”

"Die for the Adults!"

"We are willing to follow your lordship!"

Sun Chengzong on the side was already dumbfounded, not because he felt sorry for Wang Qi and threw out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but because he was shocked by the way he integrated people's hearts in a short period of time.

Together with Li Ruoyu not far away, he opened his mouth and silently expressed his surprise: This Wang Qi will play with people's hearts.

The military men have always been the most upright and the most susceptible to incitement.

In three or two sentences, this Wang Qi has figured out the generals of the three major battalions, and it also makes people's hearts turn to each other, like arms and fingers.

"In a quarter of an hour, the army will depart!" On the stage, Wang Qi turned around and said to the three commanders: "Strive to arrive in Sanhe County tonight, which is not far from Jizhou Mansion, whether it is a rescue or a siege, depending on the situation!" ”

"There is only one point, without my order, not a single soldier is allowed to leave Jizhou Mansion!" Wang Qi stared at the three of them, his tone was solemn, with a majestic and murderous aura.

"The last general will obey!" The three commanders all bowed down to receive the order.

————

When the Jingying army was ready to go, Jizhou Mansion, hundreds of miles away, was already full of murderous sounds, crying all over the field.

The tall city wall of Jizhou Mansion has been broken by tens of thousands of refugees from the inside, and the more than 1,000 people in the Jingying brought by Han Yi are simply unable to resist the internal and external attacks of tens of thousands of refugees, including the command of the head of the White Lotus Sect and the sacrifice of the sect members.

White Lotus Teachings: Burn one's body with fire, and Maitreya will come into the world.

Isn't it beautiful to die and be reborn as the future Buddha?

Therefore, when the defenders slashed into the abdomen of the White Lotus Sect with their blades in hand, they were greeted not with wails and pain, but with trembling and joy brought by the imminent ascension to heaven.

This kind of extremely strange scene made the generals led by Tong Shiqing, the commander of the Beijing camp, frightened.

Who would dare to fight for their lives against these madmen?

Let's run!

With the fall of the outer city of Jizhou Mansion, a large number of defenders began to flee, and in just one day, Jizhou Mansion fell.

The people in the city didn't expect the city to be broken, and almost no one was ready to flee, so nearly 10,000 innocent people were trapped in the city.

And Han Yi, who originally came to the rescue, didn't have time to run away, but was arrested by the rebels, and together with Xu Guangqi, he was escorted by the rebels and imprisoned in a dark dungeon.

"Zixian," the official robe on his body had been pulled off, and Han Yi, who was wearing a white shirt, was sitting on the dark and damp wall of the dungeon, with some dry straw mats under his buttocks, and his face was loveless: "This battle is not my crime, but the lack of soldiers in my hands, otherwise I will definitely let Xiao Xiaoxiao behead and let the thief die."

The chaotic people broke the city, Han Yi was already ruined, and after this battle, even if he was alive, he would not have the face to stay in the capital.

"The imperial court should have received the news, the Jingying troops should have set off," Xu Guangqi sat opposite Han Yi, his eyes closed, as if thinking about something.

When Han Yi, who was originally loveless, heard this, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes opened suddenly, and he looked at Xu Guangqi: "Zixian, who do you say the imperial court will send to rescue Jizhou Mansion?" ”

"There are only a few soldiers in the DPRK, and you can count them with one slap," Xu Guangqi looked at Han Yi with half-open eyes: "If you choose the most credible one, it must be the Duke of Langguo." ”

"Han would rather die than be saved by that Wang Qi!" Han Yi sat up straight, his face had darkened: "It's a matter of civility, how can you be compared to a martial artist!" ”

"Wang Qi's twenty-year-old grandfather Guo is the leading general of the dynasty, you wait for Donglin not to cooperate with him, to resist the eunuch party, Kuang Fu Sheji, but to make it difficult for him everywhere, why bother?" Xu Guangqi shook his head, he really couldn't figure it out.

"Martial artists are in power!" Han Yi's eyes must have been fixed when he heard this: "From Horqin's drafting of the holy decree, it can be concluded that Wang Qi's son is too ambitious, and he is known as a peerless general, if it is not checked and balanced, there is no one in the world to govern it, and this situation is even more terrible than the eunuch party!" ”

As if he was afraid that Xu Guangqi wouldn't understand, Han Yi added: "After all, the eunuch party is attached to the imperial power, and in essence it is just a problem of scabies, and Wang Qi is a big trouble!" ”

"Liaodong is undecided, and the emperor wants to use him. From this point of view, if you want to bring down Wang Qi, within three years, it is impossible! Xu Guangqi shook his head: "But after three years, he will be a relative of the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor will also start to consider reducing his authority, why should you Donglin be in a hurry?" ”

"According to your words, what is the use of speaking to officials? What is the use of us literati? Han Yi said in a low voice to Xu Guangqi: "The Son of Heaven is just a middle-aged person, if it is not the bloodline of the Heavenly Family, how can he be the master?" We must wait for help, and Wang Qi is a stumbling block on the road! ”

Xu Guangqi didn't answer for a long time, Han Yizhi's astonishing remarks made him have no way to answer, in case he was splashed with blood, it would be bad.

After all, there was a sentence back then: the ten-year-old prince, how to rule the world. After just seven days, he was forced out of the wilderness.

Now Han Yi said: The Son of Heaven is just a middle-aged person, if it is not the blood of the Heavenly Family, how can he be the master?

When these words spread, there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the court.

At the end, Xu Guangqi looked at Han Yi on the wall, and it seemed that he had pretended to be asleep, so he could only say silently: I hope that the people of Jizhou Mansion can escape the disaster this time.

In the dark, Han Yi could only sigh in return.
