Chapter 419
At noon on October 13, 23th year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, outside Xuan'en Gate in the south of Yongning City on Xuanzhen East Road, nearly ten thousand troops lined up here, with various flags flying in the wind.

The moat outside the city was full of soldiers and civilians in Yongning City. They were in awe of the soldiers standing in formation. Although these officers and soldiers were cold-faced and god-like, they had extremely strict military discipline.

In the past few days, although they have gathered outside the city for two days, there is no noise in the camp. Occasionally, when officers and soldiers enter the city together, whether they are shopping or eating out, they will pay the bill truthfully. There is neither credit nor force. Buying and selling happened.

This made the soldiers and civilians in Yongning City have a great impression of these officers and soldiers coming from the north road. What's more, when these officers and troops from the north road arrived, the bandits on the entire east road also stopped.

Ever since Chen Yuzhu, the "Heavenly Overlord" of Dongshan, was hacked into pieces, the rest of the bandits were frightened, and some of them reacted quickly. They took a few confidant old thieves with them, took all the gold, silver and soft things, and fled overnight. east road.

Except for a few indifferent people who still want to wait and see the situation, and Zhang Cheng's subordinates are bored in the mountains to suppress them all, there are also some who take the initiative to go down the mountain and live in peace. How many people are naturally willing to be thieves for the bandits?

As long as there is a way to survive, normal people will not choose to go up the mountain to become a thief, and live the days of being displaced and having blood licking with the head of a knife without knowing it.

At this moment, the eyes of the soldiers and civilians in Yongning were full of respect. They pointed at the soldiers in formation and talked a lot.

"...Let me tell you, old seven, you are not usually very arrogant, why don't you join the army..."

"... Bah... I didn't say... just his bear..."

"...This North Road army is really stronger than our Deputy Commander Zhang's troops..."

"...Don't talk nonsense, kid, you are all soldiers of Deputy Commander Zhang now..."

"……Hahaha……"

…………

Standing on the gate tower of Xuan En Gate, Zhang Cheng was surrounded by military generals such as Wu Zhizhong and Tong Shouxin, as well as civil officials such as Liu Minshen, magistrate of Yongning County.

"Deputy Marshal Zhang, he is really a famous general in the world, he can train such an elite army, the students admire him!"

Liu Minshen, magistrate of Yongning County, stood beside Zhang Cheng, and his words were extremely respectful. He was already full of enthusiasm, but he couldn't help himself, although he wanted to cheer up the court and restore the former glory of Ming Dynasty.

But he is small and weak, full of economics and ambition, but he was born at an untimely time. He had heard about Zhang Chengqin's deeds when he was king, and he had already admired him in his heart. Later, he got the lyrics of "Song of the Army" written by Zhang Cheng Manuscript, I can't put it down so much.

Now, looking at the mighty and majestic army formation under the gate, he was also very excited, and he said again: "Deputy Marshal Zhang, the student has an unfeeling request..."

Zhang Cheng couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "If Mr. Liu has anything to ask, it's okay to talk!"

"The students want to go to Yu Province with Deputy Commander Zhang and praise the paintings before the army. I don't know if Deputy Commander Zhang will agree?"

Liu Minshen's eyes were full of expectation, it can be seen that what he said was true, it was actually what he wanted in his heart.

But Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "How dare you? Master Liu is the leader of a county. How can he join Zhang Cheng's army? What about Yongning County?"

Liu Minshen smiled calmly, and said: "I have a mediocre life, it is better to be vigorous with the deputy commander, Yongning County, nearly half of them are military households, why send me alone, I have the county magistrate to take my place."

Zhang Chengben had a smile on his face, but his face sank when he heard the words. He had contact with many civil servants, but they were all aloof and arrogant. Most of them looked down on warriors like him, or for their own money and power, just like Liu Minshen. Ordinary is rare.

He said solemnly: "If Liu Xianzun is like this, I'm afraid he will be ridiculed by scholars all over the world. When he is a county zun, how can Zhang Cheng get mixed up in the army?"

"'A man should be in danger, how can he let Confucianism miss this life?'

This is not exactly what the deputy commander said, this is also what Min Shen thinks. Although I am the magistrate of Yongning, as far as Yongning is concerned, I am not afraid of being alone. In my opinion, Deputy Commander Zhang is really worth following. If you can fight with the deputy commander in the battlefield, and make a little effort, it is your life's wish. "

Liu Minshen actually used Zhang Cheng's words to answer, which surprised Zhang Cheng, he didn't know how to answer him for a while, he couldn't help but look at the army formation outside the city, and after a while, he said: "Lord Liu has this wish , Zhang Cheng was really surprised, but Mr. Liu is indeed the lord of the county, the parents of Yongning, and the official of the imperial court, this matter really needs to be cautious, how about we discuss it after Zhang Cheng returns this time?"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Liu Minshen, and said: "If Zhang Cheng can use martial arts to secure the country, he will eventually need someone like Mr. Liu to rule the country with literature. The world is so big, and Zhang Cheng's army is the only one to show his ambition."

Hearing this, Liu Minshen was heartbroken, and hurriedly said: "The commander taught you well, the student is so abrupt."

Zhang Cheng smiled, and he said in a deep and deep voice: "Zhang Cheng is an expert in leading the army. Master Liu is good at governing the people. Zhang Cheng will definitely need something from now on. Master Liu must not shirk it."

Liu Minshen's expression eased a little, and he said, "If Vice Commander Zhang needs something, the students will definitely serve. Today, I wish the Vice Commander an early victory and victory."

At this moment, Zhang Chengfang, Zhang Cheng's adoptive son, strode up, clasped his fists and said, "Show my father, commander, the army has assembled, it's already noon, Zhang Chengfang is here to ask for orders to move out."

Zhang Cheng loudly shouted: "Send the order, drum up, and move!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said cautiously to the county magistrate Liu Min: "Lord Liu, take care!"

Liu Minshen nodded, feeling excited, and said, "Deputy Marshal Zhang will make his triumphant return as soon as possible."

…………

The Xuan'en Gate in the south of Yongning City was wide open, and Zhang Cheng was the first to gallop out across the moat, until he came to the front of the army formation, followed by Wu Zhizhong, Liu Minshen, Tong Shouxin and others.

Zhang Cheng clasped his fists and said to them: "Yongning will be handed over to you. Tong Shoubei will be in charge of the city defense, Wu Zhizhong will be the head of the recruiting battalion, and the governance of the people will belong to Liu Zhi County. I hope you can unite sincerely to protect Yongning and the East Road! "

"Please rest assured, deputy commander."

Zhang Cheng ignored them and rode his horse towards the army formation. Zhang Chengfang and Zhang Jintai each led [-] riders and followed behind him, billowing smoke and dust, and soon galloped to the east side of the army formation.

Further to the east is the army and horses of Song Shanquan's army who had just moved to Yongning, and more than a thousand soldiers from the association battalion, lined up to send Zhang Cheng off to the battle, while people gathered on the side of the city wall.

Zhang Cheng reined in his horse and stopped, staring at Zhang Guodong's battalion lined up on the edge, drew out the sword from his waist, raised it high, and shouted: "Da Ming is mighty!"

"Mighty, mighty, mighty!" All the soldiers shouted in unison.

Zhang Cheng urged his war horse to gallop slowly, all the way from east to west, he kept shouting: "Da Ming is mighty!"

Wanjun responded: "Mighty, mighty, mighty!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Victory, victorious, victorious!"
