At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 84
On the outskirts of the capital, the [-] Battalion is stationed.

All the soldiers gathered in the school grounds, standing neatly in the wind.

The [-] Battalion consisted of all cavalry, initially [-] Mongolian cavalry borrowed from Duoyan Sanwei, and later gradually expanded into the Central Army, Left Ye Army, Right Ye Army, Left Sentinel Army, and Right Sentinel Army.In the era of cold weapons, the cavalry has a huge advantage. Therefore, although the Fifth Army Battalion is the main force of the Beijing Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion is the real elite.

In this Northern Expedition, the 500 battalion was completely destroyed, and the new [-] battalion was formed temporarily on the battlefield. When they returned from Mobei, there were still [-] people left.

Because the Huailai defenders killed good men and made false contributions, Ha Ming led 500 people to garrison temporarily for a period of time. He just returned to the capital recently, and Li Zhen also selected [-] soldiers who were good at riding from various guards, and made up [-] soldiers. number.

What Zhu Qizhen meant was that the [-] Battalion would not be expanded for the time being, because in future battles, hot weapons would gradually appear and cavalry would gradually lose their advantage, and the mode of large-scale cavalry combat would never return.

From then on, the cavalry will become a special warfare force, and the number of soldiers is more expensive than the quality, leaving 3000 people is enough.

Li Zhen stepped forward and raised her voice: "The [-] Battalion is training, please review the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at the familiar and weather-beaten faces, and asked: "After returning to Beijing, how is the training effect?"

"Back to the emperor, the soldiers trained very hard every day, but no one complained."

"That's good!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and continued: "Training is different from actual combat. It's better to go out and fight at home after ten years of training. Therefore, I decided that the [-] Battalion will conduct a field training, how about it?"

Li Zhen was very excited, and said: "Of course, your majesty, how do you practice?"

"Orders to go on, everyone only takes dry food and sabers, set off immediately, and arrive at Mizhi County, Yulin Prefecture within five days!"

"Five days?"

Li Zhen scratched her head, wondering: "Your Majesty, it is nearly two thousand miles from the capital to Yulin Mansion, and the mountain road is difficult, five days... almost impossible..."

"If it can be done easily, what else is there to practice?"

"The minister is worried, worried... not sure..."

Zhu Qizhen said solemnly, "I'm here to ask you, how confident were we when our army broke through the civil fortress?"

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "This...not sure..."

"When you follow me deep into the desert, how sure are you?"

Li Zhen suddenly fell into deep thought, not knowing what to say.

"Five days!" Zhu Qizhen looked at him quietly and said, "This is an order and must be done."

Li Zhen didn't hesitate any longer, she cupped her fists and said, "I obey the order!"

Zhu Qizhen turned his head, pointed at Beilin and said, "After arriving at Yulin Mansion, all actions of the Three Thousand Battalion are at his command, do you understand?"

"what?"

Li Zhen was stunned again, who is this kid, he looks so weak, why should I listen to him?

"Belin!"

"The students are here!"

Zhu Qizhen said meaningfully: "These people went deep into the desert with me, lived and died together, they are the most elite troops of Ming Dynasty, now, I hand them over to you."

The expression on Belin's face was complicated, a little surprised and a little shocked.

"From today onwards, the Qing family will be appointed as Qintian Supervisor Lingtai Lang, and will go to Yan'an Mansion to read the imperial decree."

"Students will obey the will and will fulfill their mission!"

Belin looked excited and couldn't help trembling when she spoke.

If the decree is read out, if it is an imperial decree from the cabinet, it is usually read out by Hanlin officials, officials from the Ministry of Rites, and officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology. This is the imperial envoy representing the imperial court and the emperor.But if it is the emperor's own private will, the eunuch will read it out. This is called Zhongzhi, and there is a difference between the two.

This time the imperial decree did not go through the cabinet, but was issued by the emperor.

The reason why he didn't send eunuchs, but asked himself to read the imperial decree, is obviously that the emperor is using this to give himself an identity, otherwise, let alone a small seventh-rank Lingtai Lang, even if he is the supervisor of Qin Tianjian What kind of thing are you on other people's land?
Li Zhen couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you let an outsider intervene in the training of the troops..."

Zhu Qizhen raised his hand and interrupted him.

"Listen well, after arriving at Yulin Mansion, if he tells you to kill, you kill, and if he tells you to set fire, you set fire to it. Even if he asks you to pull out the prefect of Yulin and behead him on the spot, you have to do it, understand? ?”

"understand!"

"Repeat it for me!"

Li Zhen said loudly: "Even if the prefect of Yulin is pulled out and beheaded on the spot, he will never frown!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Let's go!"

In the howling north wind, three thousand soldiers headed westward under the leadership of Li Zhen, and the horseshoes rolled up waves of yellow sand, blowing on the face with the wind, like needle pricks.

Watching the Three Thousand Battalion gradually go away, Fan Zhong asked: "Your Majesty, the so-called Northwest Earthquake is just a scholar's guess. If the imperial court is so mobilizing, if nothing happens in the end, won't it be seen as a joke?"

"I'd rather have nothing happen!"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "If the common people are safe and sound, so what if I was seen as a joke?"

…………

Five days later, Yulin Mansion.

It was already winter at this time, and a light snow had just fallen. As far as the eye could see, there was a vast expanse of whiteness on the Loess Plateau.

Belin felt that her whole body was about to fall apart. How could his weak body bear it after five days of fast walking day and night.

Three thousand cavalry suddenly appeared in Mizhi County, and Li Yan, the magistrate of the county, immediately felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. After investigating the situation, he learned that it was the imperial army, and hurried out of the city with the county magistrate, soldiers and others to meet them.

Belin's face was purple from the cold, and she couldn't help shivering, but she saw that the soldiers behind her seemed to be all right.

Li Zhen looked at the sky and said, "It's only been five days, luckily I didn't disgrace my life!"

It was just a short sentence, but Belin understood the hardships better than anyone else. On this journey, regardless of the rain or snow, whether it was mountain road or flat ground, he had to march at least [-] miles a day.

As expected of a team brought out by the emperor himself, it is really impressive.

County magistrate Li Yan led his people forward, saluted Li Zhen, and said, "My next official, Li Yan, magistrate of Mizhi county, welcomes the imperial envoy."

Li Zhen curled her lips, pointed to Beilin who was beside her and said, "This is the imperial envoy, Qin Tianjian Lingtai Lang Beilin."

"what……"

Li Yan looked puzzled, the imperial court has always sent officials from the Hanlin or the Ministry of Rites, or the eunuchs around the emperor, why would they send a Lingtai Lang from the Qin Tianjian?

However, no matter what his status is, he is now an imperial envoy, representing the emperor, and he cannot be neglected.

"The lower officials have already prepared some water and wine in the county government office to cleanse the imperial envoys from the wind and dust, and I would like to invite you all to show respect."

Belin has been counting the days, how can she be in the mood to eat, she shook her head and said: "Do business first."

Li Yan was very puzzled. According to common sense, after a long journey, people are tired and horses are exhausted. After finally arriving at the place, he must rest and have a meal first. But this one is so unreasonable, it seems difficult to serve...

"Are all the officials from Mizhi County here?"

"My lord Huiqin envoy, there are a total of eleven officials, big and small, all of them are here."

"That's good!" Belin tried her best to control her frozen body, nodded and said, "Come here and get the order!"
