Chapter 414: Expedition to the North Army

The Shanxi Governor's Office, including Zhang Wu, all the generals under Wei Zheng gathered together, with a hot face, waiting for Wei Zheng to issue a specific general order to send troops to the capital.·

Wei Zheng, who had a serious face, just walked into the Governor's Office's convention hall, and Zhao Yun, who was straightforward, started shouting.

"Master, you don't know: after your words came from the soldiers, the soldiers were like chicken blood and began to train day and night."

"Now, as soon as the general enters the training ground, they will be surrounded by soldiers, yelling to ask the general for the battle to the general. This time, he will attack the capital, and he will bring our cavalry with him no matter what... Otherwise, after the general returns, he will not be able to explain to the more than 10,000 cavalry soldiers under his command..."

Seeing that Wei Zheng was in front of him, he nodded with a smile on his face and did not speak...

Zhao Yun, who was full of desire, continued, "In addition, there is another idea here..."

"The last general believes that if we want to pay the minimum price in this operation to send troops to the capital, the only way is to be quick and we will go directly outside the capital before the blockade of our government troops can react."

"Looking at our Tiger and Leopard Army and all local garrisons, the cavalry of the last general commander can meet the requirement of speed of troops. Therefore, the last general asks you to fight, and hopes that the vanguard mission of the capital will be handed over to our cavalry..."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Wang Feng, who was sitting next to him, was not very happy.

He said to Zhao Yun with dissatisfaction: "Old Zhao. Why should the vanguard's mission be handed over to you cavalry? Musketeers can also be vanguards... Don't forget that the current Tiger and Leopard Army not only are your cavalry equipped with war horses, but our musketeers and artillery are all equipped with war horses, but we can also marches quickly on the battlefield..."

After saying that, Wang Feng, who was excited, directly asked Wei Zheng for help, unwilling to fall behind.

"Master General, the last general will ask you for battle on behalf of all the musketeers. Lead your soldiers to serve as the vanguard of sending troops to the capital this time..."

Seeing that Zhao Yun was still ready to speak, Wei Zheng quickly waved his hand and replied: "Don't make a noise..."

"I know that the morale of the entire army is very high in the current Tiger and Leopard Army and local garrisons. I am very satisfied with this result. Because at this moment, I just responded to one sentence, that is, morale is available..."

"As for whom I will take with me to the capital this time, I will not answer you this answer. However, before that, I have a question, and I want to take the exam for everyone..."

"I want to know, what is the purpose of our dispatch to the capital this time?"

Wang Feng, who had a calm face, replied without thinking: "Master, the last general believes that there are two purposes for sending troops."

"First. Show the court the strong combat power of our Tiger and Leopard Army."

"In the Battle of Laizhou Bay, although we used facts to show the strength of our army, we did not see it with our own eyes for the civil and military ministers in the court. Their understanding of us was heard and memorial."

"But, in the eyes of the generals, they will only be truly scared after seeing the strength of our Tiger and Leopard Army with their own eyes..."

"As for the second purpose, it is what the commander said in the military camp that through our military power and strong combat effectiveness, we will force the court to compromise with us and lift the imperial seal on our Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces."

Wei Zheng nodded and said with admiration to Wang Feng...

"That's right... If we want to achieve the goal of letting the court compromise with us, the first thing we need is to achieve the first goal. Therefore, these two goals are linked together and indispensable."

"But how can we achieve our first goal in the whole process of sending troops to the capital?"

Seeing the thoughtful people, Wei Zheng did not hesitate and directly explained.

"General Zhao just put forward an idea. Soldiers are very fast and very good. However, what I want to say is that if our purpose of sending troops to the capital this time is to take over the capital, I will definitely agree to this proposal without hesitation."

"But, on the contrary, the purpose of our dispatch of troops to the capital this time is not to take down the capital, but to demonstrate to the court. Showing the strong combat effectiveness of our Tiger and Leopard Army makes the court feel scared."

"Think about it, if our soldiers are very fast, we will have already arrived outside the capital before the imperial government army can really react... At that time, what will we use to demonstrate to the court... Is it our military appearance much better than the imperial champion, or our more sophisticated weapons than the imperial court..."

"In my opinion, these superficial things cannot move the court or Emperor Chongzhen."

"The only thing that can make them excited is how many imperial officials have been eliminated on the way to march into the capital through head-on battle. With the remaining imperial officials in the capital, can the remaining imperial officials in the capital defend the capital under the powerful offensive of our Tiger and Leopard Army..."

"So, this time I sent troops to the capital, I not only did not want the so-called speed of soldiers, but also did the opposite..."

"On the whole way to march into the capital, we must not only slow down, but also eliminate all the imperial army that stands in front of us. Let the people wherever the troops go, see the power of our Tiger and Leopard Army."

"I ordered the entire Tiger and Leopard Army and the local garrison to draw 10,000 cavalry, 5,000 musketeers, 10,000 military farms, 1,000 artillery soldiers, and 10,000 garrisons to form a large army for the Northern Expedition. The commander himself commanded the troops to send troops to the capital."

"The cavalry commander General Zhao, the military farmer commander General Zhou, the garrison commander General Zhang, the commander of the army commander General Zhang, and the commander of the commander, each commander, went to the expedition with me..."

"The musketeers commanded General Wang, staying in Datong... During the period when I sent troops to the capital, you will command all the troops of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, assisting the military advisors, and guarding Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces for me. During this period, if any official army attacks, I will allow you to fight back... If the opportunity is right, you can attack Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces."

"Yes, the Grandmaster..."

Wei Zheng formed the Northern Army and was about to send troops to the capital. Tens of thousands of Tiger and Leopard Army began to gather and approach Datong Mansion... Such a big thing could not be hidden from the ubiquitous eyes and ears of the imperial court.

Therefore, Wei Zheng had just issued a one-day order to form the Northern Army.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, received the news and was shocked by the news.

When Emperor Chongzhen showed the news that Wei Zheng formed the Northern Army to the ministers who were anxious and anxious, dozens of ministers with great power were also shocked.

Of course, after being shocked, these ministers who were full of words immediately recovered their essence and cursed Wei Zheng in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Some say that Wei Zheng will be punished by God...

Some people also say that Wei Zheng is taking self-destruction. As long as Wei Zheng dares to send troops, the people of the entire Ming Dynasty will attack Wei Zheng, a treacherous minister...

In a word, no one of the dozen important officials who were making noises made a feasible suggestion for themselves, all of which were meaningless empty words and empty words...

Seeing this, Chongzhen's worried face was immediately replaced by anger.

After taking a deep breath, he shouted at the ministers who had not stopped at all and continued to make noise.

"Shut up to me... I asked you to find a way, not to curse people..."

"Ten thousand rebels are about to fight to the foot of the capital. You are still in the mood to curse people here. Do you think your curses just now can repel the tens of thousands of troops under Wei Zheng..."

"I see that you are becoming more and more confused now. I really don't know how you occupied such a high-powered position in the Ming Dynasty and became my loyal ministers and the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty..."

Since the money was obtained, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige in the court can be said to be more powerful day by day. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe it as "one word and nine tripods and holding the power of life and death".

Therefore, just as Chongzhen's roar ended, the noisy hall suddenly became silent.

Under the clever eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, everyone lowered their heads and said nothing...

Just as Chongzhen's eyes slowly stopped on the Minister of War, the Minister of War, who had already started to sweat on his forehead, quickly stood up one step ahead.

With more than a dozen eyes fixed on her face, she said with a guilty look on her face...

"Please calm down your anger. The old minister didn't expect that the Tiger and Leopard Army, which does not have any advantage in military strength, would actually send troops to the capital and do such a ruthless thing..."

Hearing this, Chongzhen's expression not only did not ease the slightest sign, but became even more angry. He said to the Minister of War with a murderous look on his face...

"What I want is a solution, not your explanation..."

"A few days ago, I have given you a chance to continue to command the imperial army as the Minister of War and besiege the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi. However, the Tiger and Leopard Army was not eliminated. The capital city, the central location of the Ming Dynasty, was facing the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which was in danger..."

"You said, how did you take it as the Minister of War? What did you do?"

Hearing this, the Minister of War quickly knelt down on the ground and promised loudly to Emperor Chongzhen: "Please rest assured that as long as the old minister is still the Minister of War for one day, he will not watch the Tiger and Leopard Army attack the capital and threaten His Majesty's safety..."

"The old minister must come up with solutions in the shortest time to ensure the safety of the capital..."

Hearing this, the solemn and angry expression on Emperor Chongzhen's face finally showed a trace of relief.

However, at the critical moment of life and death, Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to let the Minister of War so easily go.
