Now that he has arrived outside the border, he is considered to have arrived on the battlefield, so Zhu Jinghong did not bring Keqing here.

One is that she is weak and can't endure this hardship, and the other is to prevent people from gossiping, after all, fighting a war with a woman makes people blush.

Therefore, Zhu Jinghong, who has not seen meat for more than ten days, meets a beautiful woman like Nuo Min, which will naturally give birth to a sense of intimacy.

Zhu Jinghong lived east of the governor's office, surrounded by the camp tents of the guards.

Today's Governor's Office is actually a tent, and there are cavalrymen stationed in Beijing to the west of the Governor's Office, firmly guarding the safety of this place.

With the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty, there are now only 70,000 cavalry, including 4 guards and 20,000 cavalry, and nearly 50,000 cavalry in three battalions of the Beijing camp.

Although the number is small, its equipment is absolutely excellent, and it is two concepts with the tribal cavalry on the grassland, and its combat effectiveness is not ordinarily strong.

With these 5,000 cavalry on the side, even if tens of thousands of cavalry from Dzungaria attack, the Governor's Office can rest easy.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong was sitting in the military tent, holding a delicate dagger in his hand.

Around him, the last thing is these rare things, there are too many things to send him along the way, even if he refuses most of them, there will still be treasures.

Drawing the dagger, he suddenly felt a chill, and he fell in love with it at a glance.

"This thing is of fine iron, and it is set with precious stones, and its scabbard is ......."

Zhu Jinghong introduced while fiddling, in front of him, Nuo Min was already hot-eyed, no girl could refuse such a delicate thing, even if it was a cold knife.

After saying a few words, seeing that Nuo Min didn't have the heart to listen at all, Zhu Jinghong smiled and gave her the things.

Without hesitation, Nuo Min directly pulled out all the daggers, and only after waving them twice did she look at them carefully.

The more she looked at this thing, the more she liked it, and finally she took off the dagger from her waist, and then tied it up with Zhu Jinghong.

"How?" Nuo Min looked up and asked Zhu Jinghong.

Zhu Jinghong praised: "Sassy and heroic, women don't let their eyebrows be shaved!" ”

Hearing this, Nuo Min's heart became more and more happy, and then he came to Zhu Jinghong to thank him: "Thank you for the reward of the Thirteenth Master!" ”

Stretching out his hand to help Nuo Min up, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "This is not for you!" ”

"I'm willing to buy as much as I want!"

"I don't want money!"

"So what?"

"Of course I want you to be mine...... Translator now! ”

Hearing this, Nuo Min clasped his hands into fists and bowed: "The little woman will definitely live up to the trust of the Thirteenth Master!" ”

Looking at the woman's toned figure in front of him, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "It's so good!" ”

"The girl came all the way, I'm afraid she hasn't eaten yet, right?"

"Not yet!"

This was exactly what Zhu Jinghong wanted, so he heard him say: "That's right, let's have dinner together later, I have all the wine and food here!" ”

"Thank you, Thirteenth Master!"

It's already afternoon, and you'll have to wait until the evening to eat, if you have some more wine......

Zhu Jinghong firmly believes that he is a serious person, but at this moment, things are developing so smoothly, which makes him a little surprised and surprised.

However, before he was happy for a while, a guard outside came to tell him that the generals of the North Four Guards had come to pay a visit.

After more than 70 days of continuous marching, the North Fourth Guard arrived at Yumen Pass on 25 June, not much earlier than Zhu Jinghong and his party.

They also came to participate in the military meeting, and since it was the governor's summer vacation today, they had to come to see Zhu Jinghong first.

"Let them in!" Zhu Jinghong said calmly.

Then he looked at Nuo Min and said with a smile: "Girl, go out for a walk, there will be outsiders coming in a while!" ”

If Baochai is here, he will definitely ask in his heart when he hears this, who is the so-called "insider".

Nuo Min retreated as he was told, and after a while, the generals of the North Fourth Guard appeared outside the military tent.

"Meet the Thirteenth Master!"

The commanders of the guards and pro-army are one level higher than those of the Beijing battalion, and they are all more imposing.

It's just that the so-called grade is nothing in front of Zhu Jinghong, so I just heard him say slowly: "Get up!" ”

The four commanders got up according to their words, and then looked at Zhu Jinghong, who had been absent for two months.

Motioning for everyone to sit down, Zhu Jinghong immediately asked, "How is it...... Can the climate and soil outside the customs be adapted? ”

They have just come to the northwest, and it is normal for them to be uncomfortable, so Zhu Jinghong will ask.

"Thirteenth Master, how can you be uncomfortable with your iron body!"

"Now the ministers have only one thought, that is, to sweep away Dzungaria as soon as possible, and then go back to Beijing for the New Year!"

If nothing else, at least these words show that several commanders are full of confidence, and more appropriately, they are eager to try.

They have very full confidence in the combat effectiveness of the new army under their command.

And once they win, it will add a lot of luster to their resumes, and the hope of promotion in the future will be greater.

"When you go back to Beijing for the New Year, you really dare to think that if you can hit Ili before the year, you should burn high incense!"

The capital of the Dzungar Khanate is in Ili, and there is a distance of more than 3,000 miles from Yumen Pass to Ili.

"It's almost the same to go back to Beijing next year, and I can't get it right...... It is not impossible to stalemate until the next year! ”

Ning Huanxiang received an edict to defeat Dzungaria within the year, but in fact, the emperor himself knew that this was unrealistic, and he just used it to spur his subordinates.

Zhu Jinghong also had a clear understanding of this, so he clearly reminded everyone present.

Immediately, someone accused: "The thirteenth master has taught me a lesson, and the ministers are just laughing and talking!" ”

This is also to be familiar with the mix, and the speech will be so relaxed and casual.

"All the ordnance and ammunition have been delivered?" Zhu Jinghong asked again.

"It's all delivered!" Jiang Qingsheng, the commander of the Yulin Left Guard, replied.

"It's up to me to hear how the bathrooms are arranged!" Zhu Jinghong asked calmly.

Jiang Qingsheng then replied: "Returning to the Thirteenth Master, in addition to their own armor, guns and shields, each guard officer and soldier has 4,000 guns of type 1 or 2 and nearly 150,000 rounds of ammunition......

Although he received 6,000 muskets, only 3,000 soldiers actually used them, and the rest were either artillerymen or spear and shield soldiers who protected against cavalry onslaught.

As for the remaining thousand guns, they were mainly used to replace battle damage.

150,000 rounds of ammunition were divided equally among each shooter, and each person received fifty rounds.

It doesn't sound like much, but it's actually enough to fight two or three tough battles, not to mention the steady stream of ammunition arriving at Yumen Pass.

"Hmm!" Zhu Jinghong responded and motioned for Jiang Qingsheng to continue.

"There are 100 Weiwei Yuan cannons and more than 3,000 shells!"

A hundred guns, each of which can be divided into thirty rounds, is also a very wealthy situation.

Like bullets, shells are also being transported to Yumen Pass in a steady stream, and they are directly fetched when the front line runs out.

Next, Zhu Jinghong asked about other situations, and especially told Jiang Qingsheng and others about the storage of ammunition.

They are all professionals, and their interests are related to this victory, so how can they not pay attention to the details.

After saying these things, these people changed the topic, mainly asking Zhu Jinghong's opinion on the battle situation.

After all, Zhu Jinghong commanded the war against the Japanese, and also led the training of the North Fourth Guard, so he was recognized by the generals on this very professional issue.

However, Zhu Jinghong did not express his opinion, although he already had an idea in his heart.

The day after tomorrow, he planned to listen to Ning Huanxiang's thoughts first, and then decide whether to express his attitude.

After pulling with the generals of the North Four Guards, Zhu Jinghong also asked them to stay for dinner.

It is also very important for him to have a good relationship with these people, and Nomin has to step aside in comparison.

So after settling several generals, Zhu Jinghong found Nuo Min and entered another camp with her to talk.

It's really just a narrative, Zhu Jinghong is not a person who is in a hurry, after all, he is not really short of women now.

Who knew that before they could talk for long, someone outside told them that Su He was coming.

Knowing that her father had found her, Zhu Jinghong knew that Nuo Min should leave, so he wanted to send her out.

"Thirteenth Master, didn't you keep me as a translator? Why are you driving me away now? Nomin was particularly reluctant.

The more I miss it, the stronger the affection.

Now that he sees his sweetheart, how can Nomin be willing to leave.

Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Your father is going to leave in the next two days, don't you stay with her?" ”

"So I can come back anytime?" Realizing that he had made a mistake, Nuo Min asked with great joy.

"But no one drove you away!"

"Thank you, Thirteenth Master!"

After saying this, Nuo Min pounced directly in front of Zhu Jinghong, and then reached out to hug him.

I'm ...... Taken advantage of by this girl?

"No thanks!" Zhu Jinghong patted Nuo Min.

At this time, Nuo Min also realized that she was too close to Zhu Jinghong at the moment, so she hurriedly took two steps back.

After saluting him again, Nomin turned and left the tent.

"This girl...... It's really fun! Zhu Jinghong read in a low voice, only feeling that the next days were more interesting.

Let's say that Nuo Min left the military tent and saw his father and brother outside, and at this moment Su and the two were stopped outside by the guards.

Seeing his daughter come out safely, Su He was first happy and then his face was cold, and his expression was full of indignation.

Even though there are no inhibitions within the clan, Nomin has followed other men, and it is normal for Su He to feel angry as a father.

As a man, he understands what is going on with men too well, and his daughter as pure as Gesang flowers will not be remembered.

"Father!"

"You still know that I am your father, and I have been running out alone for so long, and I never thought that my father and brother would be worried?"

Su He spoke Mongolian, so the guards present couldn't understand it, but they could feel his anger.

"This is the residence of His Royal Highness King Xiang, not a place for you to make noise, leave quickly!" The general flag on duty shouted loudly.

He didn't care what kind of tribal leader Su He was, anyway, he only thought about Zhu Jinghong's safety, as long as it was an unstable factor, he had to eliminate it.

"Father, let's go back and talk about something if we have something to say!" Nuo Min looked embarrassed, she didn't want Zhu Jinghong to see this scene.

Su He wanted to scold a few more words, but he was finally afraid of Zhu Jinghong's majesty, so he could only be pulled away by Nuo Min.

But if he knew, his baby daughter was afraid that he would be embarrassed here, but he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would beat people on the spot.

…………

The time quickly came two days later, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and the commanders and generals of the various ministries all appeared at the governor's office to prepare for the discussion.

The scene was really lively, with all kinds of bells and whistles, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty looked much more "regular" in comparison.

The army of the Northwest War was composed of the guards and pro-army, the Beijing camp, the capital division, the Xingdu division, the Mongolian tribes, the Jurchen warring divisions, and the Tibetan Tusi, and the on-site personnel were complex and numerous, so the deliberations were carried out in the open field.

At this time, everyone was already seated, waiting for Ning Huanxiang's arrival.

There are two chairs set up on you, and everyone here knows who it is.

Zhu Jinghong said on the surface that he was not suitable to attend, but Ning Huanxiang would not understand his intentions, so he personally came to Zhu Jinghong's tent to invite him.

After some false politeness, Zhu Jinghong finally agreed to appear, and was chatting with Ning Huanxiang on the road at this time.

When they came to the outside of the venue, the two regained their manners, and after some humility, they walked side by side to the venue.

Everyone at the scene stood up to greet him, even people who didn't know Zhu Jinghong could judge his identity by his age.

When the two of them were seated, the people who had been explained in advance of the etiquette saluted and worshiped the two of them.

"The ministers meet His Royal Highness King Xiang!"

"Meet the Governor!"

Zhu Jinghong didn't say a word, just waited for Ning Huanxiang to greet him, and he was still very well-behaved at the moment.

At this time, Ning Huanxiang was no longer polite, only to see him pick up the momentum of the governor and glance behind everyone before he opened his mouth to get up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation in the northwest is changing, and the Holy Lord is particularly concerned, and then he specially ordered the general to go to the northwest, especially to gather you and others to work together to sweep away the Junggar and other traitors......"

"All Gentlemen Are ......"

Ning Huanxiang talked endlessly, these are things that everyone knows, and everyone is waiting for him to work.

He first talked about the importance of the situation in the northwest, and then Ning Huanxiang analyzed the situation in front of him, and then he asked about the deployment of various armies.

When the generals took turns to speak, Zhu Jinghong's eyes swept to the side, but it was Sun Shaozu who was sketching with a pen.

Yesterday he put forward the idea of marking the distribution of troops, and Sun Shaozu immediately took over this errand, so he has been very busy from the beginning to the present.

Looking at his operational staff officer, Zhu Jinghong felt that in addition to being unkind enough, almost all of the others were advantages.

After everyone finished speaking one after another, Ning Huanxiang looked at Wang Ziteng, who was close to him on the left, and asked, "The king's envoy ...... In the current situation, how should our army respond, and what do you think? ”

Wang Ziteng served as the commander of the Anxi Xingdu Division, controlling the main force of the Xingdu Division, as well as the troops drawn by the Tusi of the various ministries, and was responsible for commanding the entire northern battlefield.

With the same status as him, there is also Yang Longshan, the commander of the Qinghai Xingdu Division, and this official is the former military governor of the palace.

Although the actual position is almost the same, Yang Longshan's qualifications are obviously deeper, just because he is still a first-class viscount, and Wang Ziteng still has no title.

does not have a title, and can mix with the position of the governor, and now he has become a popular candidate for the governor and the governor, which also shows that Wang Ziteng is indeed capable.

also blamed him for his bad luck, he was not in the capital ten years ago, otherwise if he was also a hero of Donghuamen, his official rank would never be lower than Ning Huanxiang now.

There are no ifs in the world, and now the situation is that both Wang Ziteng and Yang Longshan have to listen to Ning Huanxiang, the governor, to control themselves.

Therefore, when Ning Huanxiang asked Wang Ziteng to express his opinion, the latter could only analyze it seriously.

On such a public occasion, Wang Ziteng's speech was mainly prudent, mainly expressing his views from the battlefield on the northern front.

Wang Ziteng's idea is to take it step by step, although he has analyzed a lot, but the central meaning can be summed up in one sentence.

It is necessary to quell the rebellion of Zasak and other khanates, and then jointly send troops to Dzungaria from the north and south.

It sounds good, but the problem is that Dzungar is not stupid and has been sending troops to support domestic rebel forces such as Zasak.

If you fully support the northern battlefield, not to mention whether you can quickly assess the situation, but the battle line can be expected to be stretched longer, and the consumption of the imperial court will also increase sharply.

"Yang Duzhi, what do you say?" Ning Huanxiang looked at Yang Longshan on the other side.

Although Yang Longshan was in charge of the southern army, although it was in confrontation with the Dzungar army, it was much easier than the pressure on the northern front, after all, they did not have a specific strategic task.

"Your Excellency, you are humble...... The root cause of the chaos in the northwest is in Dzungaria, and we still have to focus on defeating the Dzungars! ”

"Things are already very clear, as long as the Dzungars are defeated, those stinky fish and rotten shrimp in Zazak will be a matter of rumors!"

[PS: Easter eggs at the end of the chapter, there is a map of the current distribution of troops in the northwest, you can take a look! ] 】
