Chapter 1032
On the fifth day of February, Wei Zhice, a general of the Xuanfu, led thousands of soldiers from the Tengshe Camp, left Chicheng in a mighty way, and marched in the direction of Zhencheng.

Accompanying Teng Snake Camp were Xin Congjian, director of the former Vehicle Frame Bureau of Yunzhou Jiangying Camp, and more than a hundred civil engineering craftsmen under his leadership, as well as a large number of various construction tools and other items.

These craftsmen will go to the town with the army to be responsible for the construction of the school grounds, barracks and other facilities required for the brave army to station, as well as the construction of the martial arts hall after the location is selected, and they will also be responsible for the construction.

After all, there are four battalions with tens of thousands of horses stationed in the town with Zhang Cheng. The barracks and training ground where they live are not small places. Naturally, such a large project must be carefully planned, so they were mobilized from the Yunzhou Craftsman Camp. A large number of civil engineering craftsmen were recruited.

There are also large and small parcels in the Chicheng General's Office, and there are heavy red-lacquered wooden boxes, which are all neatly stacked. Obviously, everything is ready and just waiting to leave.

Uncle Yongning is no longer alone. He has two old wives, his mother and his aunt, his wife Ji Xuanzhu, his second wife Yang Liying, and his concubines Liu Ying, Liu Yan, and Tang Chunru.

Thanks to the system of this era, Zhang Cheng can enjoy the blessings of everyone after gaining a firm foothold. However, after all, he has received decades of education in later generations. Although monogamy is not what he likes, it is also deeply imprinted in into his bones.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng respects and loves his wife Ji Xuanzhu, but without the restraint of what is called the "Marriage Law" in later generations, his animality and conscience have also been greatly released.

"Eating sex is also!"

Since ancient times, how many Liu Xiahuis have been able to sit still in the real history?

Zhang Cheng is neither a sage, but also a real man with a healthy body, and there are many beauties who offer to embrace him, how can he refuse!

In fact, up to now, although there are many women around Zhang Cheng, they all came to him by chance.

For example, when the Liu family sisters first entered North Road, Chicheng guard Wu Youlu gave them to him. Although they came with a special mission, they really fell in love with Zhang Cheng and did not do anything bad. Wu Youlu also suffered retribution. There is no need to be on guard against the two of them.

Ji Xuanzhu is different from other women, she is Zhang Cheng's first real married woman, she is the official wife of Zhang's family who is officially recognized and can be recorded in the family tree.

And Ji Xuanzhu is also from a scholarly family. He has received a good education since he was a child.

The second wife, Yang Liying, is another scene. She is also very beautiful, and she is also heroic, and she values ​​love and righteousness. Of course, these are her advantages.

However, the reason why Zhang Cheng married her as his second wife was not all because of her. The most important factor was the clan power of the Yang family in Northwest Henan.

Zhang Cheng's plan is very big. He focuses on the whole world, not just the town of Xuanfu, so he spreads eyeliner and hidden stakes everywhere he has power.

Henan is also located in the center of the world, and it is also full of thieves. In the next few years, it will be the place where the Ming Dynasty will have the most frequent wars. It can be said that it is a good place for him to make contributions.

However, the Yang family is within a radius of several hundred miles from the north to the south of Mangshan Mountain, but they have a deep network of relationships. This is true in controlling local resources.

United Front, a term that is familiar to most people in later generations, the powerful power it contains is the foundation for seizing the world.

To apply a word at this time, it is-people's hearts.

Correct.

The so-called united front is actually the hearts of the people!
The support of the people can affect the life and death of a dynasty.

Having the hearts of the people is the basis for the continuation of this dynasty.

It is precisely because he knows the importance of united front work that Zhang Cheng is happy to embrace the beauty of the Yang family on Mount Mang.

Finally, there is a new concubine, Tang Chunru, whose status is a bit embarrassing. If you say she is noble, you can’t say how noble, but if you say she is ordinary, she is personally bestowed by the current emperor. beauties.

Although Tang Chunru is only a concubine in Yongning Bo's mansion, he loves her very much from the two old ladies to Ji Xuanzhu, Mrs. Yongning Bo's wife, at least on the surface.

But she is the concubine granted to Zhang Cheng by the current emperor, and she has lived in the deep palace compound for several years. Who knows if she has any secret orders when she is about to leave the palace?

Therefore, rather than saying that everyone in Yongningbo's mansion loved her very much, it would be better to say that everyone was very nervous and defensive towards Tang Chunru and the maids around her.

Although there are so many female relatives in the mansion, the back house is respected by the main wife Ji Xuanzhu, and even if the two old ladies have any matters, they will not handle them privately, and they will all be handed over to his wife Ji Xuanzhu to decide disposal.

After all, Ji Xuanzhu, Mrs. Yongning Bo's wife, was personally selected by the two elders, so it was natural to maintain her supreme authority in Yongning Bo's mansion.

The original quota of the Women's Army was 500 people, but it was never fully staffed from the beginning to the end. After all, the recruitment conditions here are too harsh.

But there is no way around it. The quota of 300 members for the Healthy Women’s Battalion has only recruited more than [-] people so far, and the original [-] members of the Chinese Army Cavalry have only been selected so far. There are only [-] qualified female soldiers.

In this way, the cavalry of the Chinese Army has 300 people, and the left and right have 450 people each, and there is still a shortage of 300 people.

The cavalry team of the Chinese army here is a part of the second wife Yang Liying's confidantes. Didn't you see that the chief and deputy generals are all served by the two maids around her.

Su Zhenxiang and Yang Juanxiu, the chief executive of the left section of the Healthy Women's Camp, were the first batch of refugees rescued by Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng from Jingbei Mafang, and their loyalty to them was naturally much higher than that of others.

Although they obeyed the military order of the chief general Yang Liying in the healthy women camp, they were still only loyal to Yongningbo Zhang Cheng in their bones, followed by the two old ladies and the mistress Ji Xuanzhu.

There is also Jia Honggu, the chief executive of Youying, and Ji Xiuyue, the deputy chief executive. They are originally the natal family of Mrs. Yongningbo Ji Xuanzhu, and they naturally respect their young lady in their hearts.

In this way, three forces have formed in the Women's Army Women's Camp. Although they all obey the military orders of the general Yang Liying on the surface, if the military orders issued by Yang Liying may endanger Zhang Cheng, the two old ladies, and the mistress Ji. At the time of Xuanzhu, they might have a different attitude.

This is also Zhang Cheng's strategy of checks and balances. He is not afraid of Yang Liying's dissatisfaction, but Yang Liying is already his equal wife, although her status is slightly lower than that of the first wife, the mistress of the Zhang family, Ji Xuanzhu.

However, Yang Liying is now in control of Yongningbo's internal guard force as the chief general of the Women's Army. Once she is allowed to completely control this force, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not become a big deal, and even threaten Ji Xuanzhu's position as mistress.

Once this kind of situation occurs, it must be a restless home, and it will not only be a problem of being ridiculed, but it will even destroy the family business that Zhang Cheng has worked so hard to save.

Therefore, in addition to playing checks and balances in the healthy women's camp, they have always been wary of the inner guard camp, and have not fully developed it.

It can even be said that Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng himself is the biggest resistance to the failure of the Inner Guard Battalion to be fully staffed!
The Inner Guard Battalion originally had a quota of 2000 infantry soldiers, but since the establishment of the battalion, it has not been fully recruited until now, because all males of the right age on the North and East Roads have been selected into Zhang Cheng's command if their physical conditions meet the requirements. , as soldiers.

And most of the men with lower qualities in all aspects were selected into the guard battalions of the fortresses. When the inner guard battalions began to recruit soldiers, it was much more difficult.

Therefore, when the inner guard battalion had the largest number of soldiers, there were only more than 700 people. After Zhang Cheng announced that the "Brave Army" had expanded to the six battalions, the more than 700 inner guard battalion soldiers were all merged into the six battalions. middle.

Chief Qian Yang Fu and Deputy Chief Qian Yang Xing were included in the Yongyi Army system by Zhang Cheng, but they were not included in the battalion for the time being, but ordered them to advance to the "Lecture Hall" as the first During this period, students will participate in systematic military theory studies.

However, even if there were only [-] female soldiers in the Healthy Women's Battalion, that was a very large team. Even in the guerrilla camps of some guerrilla generals, there might only be more than a thousand capable soldiers.

Moreover, their armor and weapons, firecrackers, and chariots may not be as numerous and complete as the healthy women's battalion. Leaving aside other things, once these thousand healthy women arrive in the town, they will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the city. Shimin looked sideways.

These healthy women were originally the family members of the officers and soldiers in the Courageous Army, and now many of them set off with their husbands one after another to station in the town.

After this trip, I am afraid that there will be no chance to return to the hometowns of the North and East Roads, so many female soldiers from the Jianwomen Battalion will bring their families to the town together.

However, not all the female soldiers from the Jianwomen Battalion brought their families to towns and cities. Many of them still had elderly people at home, and their children had grown into teenagers. That is, they have entered the workshop and other places to work, and some have even been admitted to the engineering school, so they no longer need to follow them.

But even so, there are still more than a thousand family members of the healthy women battalion who want to go to the town to live with the army. If you add some family members of the soldiers of the Yongyi Army battalions, there are more than tens of thousands of people?

For this reason, Zhang Cheng specially ordered [-] cavalry from the Chinese Army of the Healthy Women's Battalion to accompany them to the town this time, and take on the responsibility of guarding and caring for the female relatives along the way.

The left and right infantry will stay in Chicheng temporarily, and after the demarcation of the garrison areas of the battalions on the other side of the town, and the construction of the barracks and school grounds, they will escort the families of the soldiers and move out together.

Even the [-]nd Battalion of Teng Snake and Baihu, which were stationed in the town in advance, and the Weiyuan Battalion, which was about to escort Yongningbo Zhang Cheng to the town, each left an infantry on the North Road, waiting to escort the battalions to accompany the army. The family members went to the town to settle down.

Yongningbo Zhang Cheng gave full support to the soldiers of the Yongyi Army and their families to resettle in towns and cities. He not only ordered each camp to retain a soldier as a guard, but also reimbursed all board and lodging expenses along the way for the migrating family members. .

The reason why he encouraged the soldiers of the brave army to bring their families to the town was to increase his popularity in the town.

Although Zhang Cheng's family was also a military family in the Xuan Mansion, it has gradually withered in recent generations, and it was passed down to his father's generation with only two brothers, and Zhang Cheng's father died young.

Fortunately, his uncle Zhang Yan took advantage of the shadow of his ancestors, and he also put his life on the line. With the military achievements he made all the way, he forcibly achieved the post of general in the Xuanfu. Foundation.

But because Zhang Yan didn't like to deal with those mediocre and corrupt colleagues, he was very excluded in the circle of town generals and military officers, but after all, Zhang Yan was a general who was promoted by relying on his solid military achievements, and everyone couldn't help him.

However, because of this, Zhang Yan appeared to be alone in the circle of generals in the town, and he only had some contacts with the chief soldier Yang Guozhu and the general Liu Guangwu.

It is precisely because of Zhang Yan's insistence on maintaining integrity and his refusal to join forces with others that the Zhang family has only a few isolated manors around the town, and the scale of them is not large.

That's why Zhang Cheng tried his best to encourage the soldiers of the Yongyi Army's battalions to bring their family members to move with the army to settle around the town. His idea was to strengthen his mass base in the town.

And these courageous soldiers who settled down around the town will become more loyal to Zhang Cheng in order to protect their beautiful homeland in the future, and will unreservedly implement every military order issued by Zhang Cheng.

Because their families were resettled in the town, executing Zhang Cheng's military order was to protect their family members. As the number of families of the brave soldiers who moved to the town increased, it would further form a favorable situation for Zhang Cheng himself.

…………

On the sixth day of February, Yongningbo Zhang Cheng, under the escort of Weiyuan camp soldiers, led thousands of troops to leave Chi Castle and march towards the town.

From the outside of Chi Castle to Yangtian Castle, crowds of people who saw Yongningbo off constantly appeared along the way. They gathered in a group of more than a hundred people, or hundreds of people, and knelt down to see off the marching army along the way.

Occasionally, there will be some aged elders from various castles, representing the soldiers and civilians along the way, to stop Yongning Bo's frame and present baskets and baskets of local specialties.

Naturally, Zhang Cheng would not treat people's enthusiasm indifferently. Whenever he encountered villagers who came out to stop him, he would order his husband to stop immediately and receive those villagers in person.

And once he finds out that there are old women among them, Uncle Yongning will order Zhang Chengfang to invite his wife Ji Xuanzhu to come over and receive all the villagers with her.

For many years since then, people on Xuanzhen North Road have been extolling how close and caring Yongningbo and his wife are to the people!
