A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 298
The guard of honor of Yang Sichang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, came with great momentum. In addition to a series of mighty flag guards of honor to open the way, this powerful official in the late Ming Dynasty, known as "Yang Xiang", was also accompanied by many horses and horses. Personal guards.There are also a large number of civilian and military generals, cronies and aides riding horses to follow behind the bridge.

There were also 2000 people from Xuanda Governor Chen Xinjia's Supervision Battalion accompanying the army as guards. After receiving the letter from Wang Dou and Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia hurriedly set off from Tianjin, traveling day and night, and finally met Yang Sichang and his party who had left Beijing when they were approaching Fangshan.

As for the remaining soldiers and horses in Tianjin, Chen Xinjia ordered them to set off and move to Jinan and Liangxiang.

A few miles away from the Xuanda camp, Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, Wang Dou, the guerrilla general of Xuanfu Town, Hu Dawei, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, led the generals under the command of the Xiexie, and Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, Yizhou Bingbei, and Zijingguan. The generals, Laishui garrison, Zhuozhou garrison and others greeted them together.

Among the crowd, Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, had an extremely ugly face. He rushed from Baoding to Yizhou to congratulate the Xuanda army, but Wang Dou and others gave him a look.In the past, he would have impeached three warriors for disrespect, but now that Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu and others have made extraordinary achievements, no one will care about his anger.

At the same time, Zhang Qiping was worried. This time when the Qing soldiers entered the customs, many cities in his jurisdiction were lost, and he didn't know how the imperial court would deal with him in the future.It coincides with the arrival of Mr. Yang Ge, so we should inquire about it carefully, no matter how much money we spend.

The guard of honor arrived in front of everyone, and surrounded by officials, Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia got off the bridge. This was the first time Wang Dou saw Yang Sichang.

It is undeniable that Yang Sichang's appearance is very good. He is dressed in a red python robe official uniform, a beam crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, a black beard, bright eyes, and a shrewd and majestic expression.Chen Xinjia next to him also had a refined demeanor, and his official appearance and demeanor were outstanding.

Just looking at their looks, both of them are people who can make people feel a strong affection at first sight.

Yang Sichang was noncommittal when he bowed and greeted Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding. He swept his eyes on Yang Guozhu, Wang Dou, and Hu Dawei, and on Wanyu Hu Ben behind them. There, Yang Guozhu's main barracks, Hu Dawei Wei's main barracks, as well as Wang Dou's Shunxiang Army soldiers were all lined up neatly.People and horses seem to cover the ground, and the flags are as black as dark clouds, hunting in the cold wind.

They stood and waited silently, Yang Sichang and others were shocked by the aura of the survivors after a hundred battles.In particular, Wang Dou's Shunxiang Army, no one moved a little in the severe cold weather, and the posture of a strong army was displayed to the fullest. The cold wind swept over their red cotton cloaks and cloaks, turning them into a fiery red color.

Looking at this army, Yang Sichang felt a feeling in his heart, as if they had an inexplicable and unexplainable power.This power is beyond his comprehension.In front of this force, he was as insignificant as an ant, and it seemed as easy as crushing an ant to death if they wanted to crush themselves.

Looking at the army in front of him, Yang Sichang had a complicated expression on his face.Chen Xinjia beside him also felt a strange feeling, is this his Xuanda's army?At the same time, he secretly rejoiced, Xuan Da had this army in his hands, and he would be able to flourish in that day.

The soldiers of the Supervising Biao Battalion behind Chen Xinjia also had complex expressions. Since the division of troops, they followed the new governor. When they heard the news of Duchen Lu's death, they were all saddened.There were also people who were glad that they didn't have to die in battle in Julu, but then the situation reversed, and Xuan Dajun made amazing achievements, and his colleagues in the Japanese army were on the verge of prosperity.

The world is unpredictable, nothing more than this.

"See the old man!"

Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu, and Hu Dawei pushed the Jinshan mountain, turned down the jade pillar, and bowed down to Yang Sichang.

There was a sound of iron armor clanging, and more than ten thousand Xuanda soldiers shouted together: "See elder Ge!"

They all knelt down on one knee and saluted Yang Sichang and others with thunderous voices.

Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia and the others were obviously taken aback. Even Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, changed their expressions drastically. It really was the army of tigers and wolves who won the victory in Zhuozhou. Even the momentum of this visit was earth-shattering.

Yang Sichang woke up quickly, coughed lightly, and stepped forward quickly: "The three generals have made great contributions to the country, so there is no need to perform this great gift, please hurry up."

He personally supported the three of Wang Dou and showed his condolences, without any airs of "Yang Xiang". In terms of grace and demeanor, it really made people speechless.

When he helped Wang Dou up, he sighed even more: "This is General Wang, the brave champion of the three armies, right? He is really a hero, no wonder he can make such great achievements for the country."

Wang Doudao: "It all depends on the power of the Holy God. The two military gatekeepers are facing a bloody battle, and the soldiers of the three armies will use their lives to achieve such a record. The last general dare not take credit for it."

Yang Sichang couldn't help but nodded, he looked at Wang Dou for a while, and said, "I heard that Duchen Lu once gave the name of General Wang?"

Wang Doudao: "That's right, the governor bestowed the name Guoqin on the last general."

Yang Sichang pondered: "Guoqin..."

He took the hands of Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu affectionately, and motioned for Chen Xinjia to grab Wang Dou's hand, and said lovingly: "Guoqin, General Yang, General Hu, it's extremely cold in the middle of winter, don't let the soldiers stay in the wild for long, let them Come back to camp quickly and rest."

Although Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei were resentful towards Yang Sichang because of Lu Xiangsheng's incident, they were very moved and even flattered by his behavior.Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, was even more eager to watch from the sidelines.

On the way to the camp, Yang Sichang asked for warmth, and asked Wang Dou and others what difficulties they had to solve.

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei coughed lightly, and Wang Dou said: "After the Battle of Julu, our army was seriously injured. After the Battle of Zhuozhou, it was even more battles. There was a shortage of food and grass. In addition, we needed supplies urgently to rescue tens of thousands of captives."

Yang Sichang murmured, and said solemnly: "Indeed, Xuanda's generals have contributed to the country, and those common people are also the children of the Ming Dynasty. How can we let them suffer from hunger and cold?"

He ordered Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, to properly resolve the issue of food and grass between Xuan Dajun and the rescued people, and Zhang Qiping promised to do so.

Entering the tent of the Xuanda army, Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia didn't care about the fatigue of the pommel horse, and immediately wanted to check the military merits of the first rank. When they entered a certain place in the camp, they were all stunned. There are many tents, and there are thousands of heads in them.

The officials who came from the capital were all amazed, Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia were also shocked, but the most urgent thing for the two of them was to examine Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Yuetuo's body.

Then they were taken to another tent, where Yuetuo's body was placed. He was still wearing his gold-plated armor. His body was densely covered with gun ends and barrels. He had been stabbed many times before he died.Just looking at the corpse, one can imagine the tragic situation at that time, especially the guns on the corpse were deliberately not pulled out, which added to the shocking feeling of the scene.

Looking at Yue Tuo's body, Yang Sichang's whole body trembled, and all the officials behind him made intensive inhalation and exhalation sounds.Thanks to Yang Sichang, they entered the core of the Xuanda camp for the first time to see these first-level banners, and they were all shocked.

Chen Xinjia stepped forward to caress Yuetuo's armor, then looked at the Zhenghong Banner Dragon Banner beside him, and said in a trembling voice: "It is the Zhenghong Banner Slave Chieftain, there is no doubt it is the Zhenghong Banner Slave Chieftain....

He and Yang Sichang looked at each other, and both saw the ecstasy in each other's eyes.

Then Yang Sichang coughed: "Three generals, I heard that the army captured Yue Tuoqi's son?"

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei's faces flushed with excitement at the amazed gazes of the crowd. Hearing what Yang Sichang said, Yang Guozhu hurriedly said: "In the battle of Zhuozhou, our army did capture Luo Luohong, the eldest son of Yuetuo, and also captured a hundred slaves of Zhenghongqi. There are more than [-] miscellaneous servants in the army, all of whom are under proper custody, and the last general will wait for the leader to go."

After seeing the captives, Zhenghongqi Luo Luohong and other Qing soldiers, Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia and others felt that their whole bodies were light.Soon the accompanying officials of the Ministry of War also inspected the decapitated heads, a total of more than [-] heads.During these Heavenly King Battles, Yang Guozhu and his three distributed thousands of heads to the surrounding generals, but there are still many heads left.

Looking at these heads, Yang Sichang and the others found it inconceivable that none of them killed the good and pretended to be meritorious, and they were all heads of real slaves. The combat power of Xuan Da's army was really unexpected.The accompanying officials were already discussing that the great victory in Zhuozhou may not have happened since the founding of Emperor Taizu Gao.

Yang Sichang calmed down at this time, he glanced at Chen Xinjia, and said to Yang Guozhu and Wang Dou, "The three generals have made amazing achievements, and the details of this battle are still in the accounts."

He, Chen Xinjia, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, and Wang Dou entered the tent, but ordered the rest of the officials to wait outside the tent.

……

Look at Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia who are far away from the tent, but Yang Guozhu and Wang Dou still look at each other in blank dismay.

Hu Dawei sighed: "It's no wonder Master Yang is able to enter the cabinet, and he is highly regarded by the emperor, no wonder."

Wang Dou said indifferently: "With such a shameless face, it's hard not to think about it."

Yang Guozhu coughed lightly: "Guoqin, be careful with your words."

He said: "Forget it, if Mr. Yang Ge and Governor Chen want the merit of making a plan, then give it to them."

He sighed: "In this way, we will be freed from the crimes of the war-lost general, and the governors can also carry the coffin to Beijing, and the scenery will be rewarded."

Hu Dawei said: "Finally, we won't swallow our military leaders. In the future, we will be promoted several ranks, and we will have captured silver in our hands. Our battle in Zhuozhou will not be in vain."

Wang Dou stared at the sky for an unknown amount of time, and said, "You two military sects, let's go to the governor's mourning hall. I think Mr. Yang Ge and the others are ready to cry."

……

Chen Xinjia followed closely beside Yang Sichang, seeing a group of entourage officials far away, he said softly: "Mr. Ge, do you think Yang Guozhu and Wang Dou will cooperate?"

Yang Sichang said indifferently: "It's just a matter of planning and planning. They will give it to them, and they will get more."

He said: "Don't say that they are asking for a lot, it is..."

He sneered: "In the battle of Zhuozhou, where did the people, money, and silver captured by the Dongnu go? They didn't mention it at all, and I know it well."

Chen Xinjia said: "I heard that Dongnu captured a lot of money and silk in Zhuozhou. There may be as much as 10 taels of gold and silver, and countless cattle and sheep..."

He shook his head with regret in his tone.

Yang Sichang remained motionless, and said: "Okay, prepare to give Lu Xiang a crying spirit!"
