Chapter 147 Expedition [FPX proves the importance of unity]

Zuo Menggeng received the order from Hou Xun on the seventh day of November.

On the same day, Santun camp fell, and the general Zhu Guoyan committed suicide after being defeated.

At the court meeting on this day, Chongzhen lost his temper again, and his anger expanded.

"What are you Jinyiwei doing for food? Why didn't your spies repay the tens of thousands of troops mobilized from the East? What's the use of raising you trash?"

Chongzhen scolded Luo Yangxing like a dog.

But what can be done to improve performance?
I had no choice but to endure it silently, praying silently in my heart, hoping that Chongzhen would forget him as soon as possible.

But in officialdom, the sharp weapon for killing always comes from behind.

Just as Luo Yang was suffering, Wu Mengming, who was standing behind him, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, doesn't the imperial court know about the Eastern captives' invasion?"

This question annoyed Chongzhen, and he reprimanded him head-on and face-to-face.

"Bastard! If the imperial court had known about it long ago, how could they be passive today?"

Wu Mengming was not afraid, but looked puzzled.

"I remember that at the beginning of October, Han Chuan, a subordinate of Qianhu, once submitted a military report to me, predicting that the Tartars might bypass Liaodong and break through Jimen. I feel that this is a big matter, and I dare not neglect it. , and ordered Han Chuan to submit the military research and judgment to Dudu Luo."

A cool breeze passed through the hall, and everyone could smell blood.

Luo Yangxing was cold all over, and couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Wu Mengming.

At this moment, he finally remembered what happened a month ago.

That one-armed Qianhu, that report that he sneered at and threw into the trash.

Wu Mengming...

Are you fucking me?
Wu Mengming put on an appearance of being loyal to the country, as if he was just telling the truth, and had no idea what his words meant.

Chongzhen was silent, with a half-smile on his face.

After a long while, he said: "call that thousand households to the hall."

Everyone knows that this is going to be a confrontation on the spot.

Luo Yangxing's whole body went limp, and he fell to his knees, completely giving up.

Not long after, a one-armed but tall figure walked up the hall alone.

"Chen Jinyiwei Qianhu Han Chuan, bow to His Majesty, long live long live long live!"

Chongzhen's eyes were attracted by Han Chuan's one arm.

"Why is it like this?"

Han Chuan shuddered, his expression unbearable.

"In the first year, Wei Chen was ordered to pretend to detain Wei Yan and went south. He was ambushed by Feng Lun, the remnant of the eunuch party, at the Chaoguan Wharf in Linqing. During the bloody battle, he injured his arm."

Chongzhen nodded upon hearing this.

"It's a loyal one."

In the eyes of the emperor, the tragedy of Yu Hanchuan's narrow escape was just a passing cloud.

Chongzhen quickly asked.

"Wu Mengming said that at the beginning of October, you reported a study and judgment on the movement of the Eastern captives. Let me ask you, how did you make the study and judgment? What is the basis?"

Han Chuan had been waiting for a long time, so he didn't dare to neglect immediately, and told the whole process eloquently.

Including how the report was handed over to Luo Yangxing in the end.

"Everything that Wei Chen has done has been archived in Jinyiwei, and it is all recorded."

This last sentence completely sentenced Luo Yangxing to death.

Because Jin Yiwei's files are there, it's clear once you check it.Everyone knew that neither Wu Mengming nor Han Chuan dared to lie about this matter.

So that is to say, Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, even knew about such a big event and did not report it.

Ever since Houjin broke through, Chongzhen felt his face was slapped in pain.It seemed that everyone in the world was laughing at him, mocking him for not being a wise king at all.

Chongzhen couldn't accept this reality at all, and what he wanted to do most was to throw the pot away.

It's not that I'm incompetent, it's the fault of the servants below.

Now, things are clear and clear, and Luo Yangxing's guilt cannot be escaped.

Under Chongzhen's extreme anger, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Come on, drag this bastard down, Ling Chi, ransack the house!"

Chongzhen became ruthless and sentenced Luo Yangxing to the cruelest punishment!
Luo Yangxing also felt that he was doomed, but he did not expect that Chongzhen would be so ruthless.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

The once majestic commander of Jin Yiwei, now only the miserable cry for help resounded through the hall, and finally died with the wind.

After successfully getting rid of the pot, Chongzhen seemed to be less angry.

In his eyes, Wu Mengming has become a capable minister again.

"From now on, you must take good care of Jin Yiwei's errands, and don't let me down. Luo Yangxing is a lesson from the past, so don't be careless!"

Is this the boss of Jinyiwei?
Wu Mengming was elated, and quickly agreed, with an appearance of utter loyalty, his acting skills turned out to be good.

Chongzhen looked at Han Chuan again.

"You are not bad, better than many officials. Although one arm is missing, Jinyiwei doesn't care about it. Order Qianhu Han Chuan to be promoted to a co-prefect, and assist Wu Mengming to act as Jinyiwei."

Han Chuan was even more excited.

In the past, he was only a hundred households, and he was a little transparent in Jinyiwei.Anyone can be murdered anytime, anywhere.

Unexpectedly, in just two years, he became the No. [-] figure in Jin Yiwei.

Who brought all this to him?
While Han Chuan thanked Shengen, he was thinking of another person.

Zuo Menggeng, who was far away in Linqing, had no idea that an idea of ​​temporarily helping Han Chuan to rise to power actually killed Luo Yangxing.

But this is also good, to avoid Luo Yangxing's sin of surrendering Li Zicheng first and then Manqing in the future.

Why were the Manchus able to sweep away the clouds and invincible after entering the customs?
In addition to a strong military force, the information provided by Luo Yangxing, the former commander of Jinyiwei, should not be underestimated.

..........................................

Zuo Menggeng immediately ordered to stop the training of the whole army after receiving the news of Hou Jin's invasion of the bandits.

All the ministries returned to the army, and the ordnance was fully equipped, and they were awe-inspiring.

Everyone knew that there was going to be a war.

On the seventh day of November, after receiving the transfer order, Zuo Menggeng immediately ordered the whole army to gather in the school grounds.

More than [-] people were in the dark, the atmosphere was dignified.

On the outskirts, the families of the soldiers also came. Although they were very quiet, everyone knew that after the army left this time, it was unknown how many people would be missing when they returned.

Zuo Menggeng accompanied Qu Shixu and Zhang Jimeng to the podium to receive the military order token.

Then, he took a step forward and stood in front of the whole army.

Below is the army he has painstakingly built for nearly a year.Now it has achieved initial results, and the scale is gratifying.

The horizontal and vertical queues are so pleasing to the eye, and the heroic posture standing like a pine reflects the results of hard training.

It is so reassuring to bring such an army to the battlefield.

"Everyone knows that today, we are about to set off. Go to the north, to the foot of the capital, and fight against the Tartars who are ravaging our homeland. The Tartars are fierce. They occupy Liaodong, destroy my homeland, kidnap my relatives, and kill my father and brother. Now, they are not satisfied with Liaodong, and come to spy on the capital again. Then in the future, will they also come to Shandong to burn, kill and loot? As men, as soldiers, should we stand by and watch our homes, our Relatives, our wives and children, howling under the iron hooves of the Tartars?"

Huang Zongxi raised his arms and shouted.

"Fight the enemy bravely and defend the homeland!"

More than [-] soldiers followed immediately, and the sound shook the sky.

"Fight the enemy bravely and defend the homeland!"

Qu Shixu and Zhang Jimeng looked at each other, feeling the military prestige for the first time.

In their minds, the young man who was treated like a junior was slightly different.

Zuo Menggeng's speech continued.

"I never deny that the Tartars are very powerful, otherwise they wouldn't have fought and retreated steadily. But I believe even more that we are more invincible with the belief in defending our homeland and relatives. This time, we will not be defeated. I know how many of you will never come back. Even including me, I may die on the battlefield. But since we have become soldiers, do we need to worry about these? If we are all greedy for life and afraid of death, our relatives will How desperate! Tell me, will you fight to the death for your loved ones?"

The scene was silent for a while, and the three thousand soldiers let out the loudest roar.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The morale of the army is available, which makes Zuo Menggeng extremely satisfied.

"set off!"

The deployment had already been made, and upon receiving the order, all brigades immediately filed out of the barracks.Watched by his relatives, he resolutely embarked on the road of the Northern Expedition.

Qu Shixu and Zhang Jimeng were shocked to see the common people see off their loved ones silently, but no one cried to stop them, and no one showed their reluctance.

"When the people are willing to send their children to die, I think that such an army is invincible in the world!"

Zhang Jimeng only felt that he was full of pride and had nowhere to vent.

"That kid made it very clear that they went to die to let more people live. That's how they live to die. Mingfu, I think, our choice seems to be right."

Qu Shixu stroked his beard and sighed softly.

"Loyalty and bravery are not for the king, and battles are not for fame. Sacrifice is only for the people, and generosity is only for the world. It turns out that an army... can do the same!"

　What is the most important thing about a team?
　　strength?experience?logistics?

　　neither.

　　The performance of FPX yesterday told us that unity is the foundation of a team's victory.

　　Some people, some things, once happened, can never go back.

　　After the helmet incident, the management's inability to act decisively is the biggest root cause of today's failure.

　　If people's hearts are scattered, the team will definitely not be able to condense into a whole.
