Today is the third day of the 10th month of the fourth year of Jiajing. On September 14th, Xu Jin, the governor of Zhili and the general of Pinglu, issued a gathering order to various places. Within ten days, the soldiers of the Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Shunde Prefecture, Guangping Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, and the five prefectures under the jurisdiction of Beizhi arrived in Tianjin one after another, and were all led by the prefects of each prefecture, with a total strength of 50,000.

Immediately afterwards, the troops from Shandong and Henan also arrived one after another, with a total force of 80,000, all led by the provincial governor. The specific operations were commanded by the commander-in-chief of the province.

As of the first day of October, the total force of Xu Jin's command had exceeded 150,000, and the momentum was greatly boosted. As the saying goes, there were many people and bravery, and all the soldiers were ready to move, asking Xu Jin to order immediately to march northward, expel the Tartars, rescue the capital, and save the emperor!

However, Xu Jin knew very well that the so-called 150,000 army was too heavy, because a considerable number of them were temporary yamen runners and militias, and the straightforward professional garrison troops were less than 90,000. Even the local garrison troops had a very worrying combat power. Only the Shandong Army had actually been on the battlefield, while only the Guide Wei, the Henan Army, had followed him to suppress the Shandong mining thieves and rebellion.

The gap between the army that has been on the battlefield and has never been on the battlefield is quite obvious. Regardless of combat power, there is a world of difference in courage alone. If an army without courage goes to the battlefield, it is extremely likely to collapse at one touch. No matter how many people are, it will be useless. Xu Jin has seen the scene of more than a dozen Japanese pirates chasing hundreds of guards and chasing them.

The local guards' army was so vulnerable to the Japanese pirates. If they faced the Tatar cavalry with more powerful combat power, the result could be imagined. It is estimated that they would be defeated once they meet. So for the sake of safety, Xu Jin chose to continue to hold on, and he had to wait for the arrival of the 100,000 Southern Army led by Wang Shouren.

The 100,000 Southern Army led by Wang Shouren is mainly composed of troops from Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Southern Zhili. These local guards participated in the battles along the coast of the Ming Dynasty not long ago. Their combat power and courage are incomparable, and they are also easy to use. After all, they are all old subordinates.

Xu Jin planned to integrate all the teams that had been on the battlefield as the backbone of the battle, and other guards who had not been on the battlefield as auxiliary. As for the militia and yamen runners, they acted as reserves to fight with the wind. In this way, the veterans led the new soldiers and waited for a few tough battles, and their overall courage also came up.

On the third day of the 10th month of the fourth year of Jiajing, Wang Shouren, Secretary of the Ministry of War of Nanjing, finally led a 100,000 southern army to Tianjin, and Xu Jin personally welcomed him out of the city.

Although Xu Jin is now above Wang Shouren, in front of Lao Wang, how dare Xu Jin behaves in his air? This is the only great man in history who has made meritorious, moral and righteous, and has a god-like existence in military use. For example, the thief who has been entrenched in the dense forests of the southern mountainous areas for decades, regardless of the sky or the earth. As a result, when Lao Wang arrived, he was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Xu Jin had a kind of heartfelt respect for Lao Wang. He clasped his fists and said, "Xu Jin has seen the prince!"

Wang Shouren was exhausted and looked pretty good, but his lips were a little bloody. He occasionally coughed and stroked his beard and smiled: "Governor Xu is polite. Those who have increased the rank of general with civil servants, looking at our dynasty, Xu Ziqian is the only one who is the only one who is the one who is the one who has increased the rank of general in our dynasty."

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly. Indeed, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, throughout the dynasties, emperors generally only worshipped military generals as generals. Xu Jin was probably the only one who was named a general by the emperor as a literary man.

After Xu Jin and Wang Shouren met each other, they fell down a group of military generals to greet Xu Jin. Yu Linsheng, Xiong Bai, Wang Duo, Feng Guoqing... familiar faces, and admiration and surprise appeared in their eager and excited eyes. They all hit the ground one knee in one direction and shouted: "I will meet the Grand Marshal!"

Just one year later, he could follow the general to fight the battlefield again. All the generals were full of passion and everyone was ready to do a big fight. For example, Yu Linsheng, Feng Guoqing and others participated in the battle to destroy the Japanese along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Later, they all seized an earl. If they could drive out the Tartars to rescue the capital this time, they might be named a marquis. After all, this is a great achievement to save the emperor and support the country.

Xu Jin looked at the group of arrogant soldiers and generals in front of him, and for a moment he was also passionately rising up to Gan Yunxiao. He waved his hand and chanted loudly: "The green mountains stand up, and the ambition is not to fall into the sky. Only when the sea flows in the vast sea can it show its true nature. I am willing to work with you to drive out the Tartars, support the country, and win thousands of victories!"

"Expel the Tartars and support the country, win thousands of victories! Win thousands of victories! Win thousands of victories!"

The soldiers and generals shouted in unison, and the sound entered the sky, with a high spirit of fighting!

Wang Shouren's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "What a vast sea of ​​people can show their true nature, and they will win... Cough cough cough!"

Wang Shouren was so excited by these two lines of Xu Jin's poem that he actually coughed violently. Xie Sanqian hurriedly stepped forward to support the former and gently stroked the back.

After a while, Lao Wang stopped coughing, and the handkerchief used to cover his mouth suddenly became bloody. Xu Jin and Xie Sanqian both changed their faces and hurriedly asked to send them to the military doctor.

Wang Shouren waved his hand to stop him, and said with a relaxed expression: "This is an old problem and it doesn't hinder the problem. According to numerology, I have at least two years to live."

Xu Jin frowned secretly. He had heard that Wang Shouren had lung disease and had been suppressing it by taking arsenic. Wang Shouren, who was in the history, did not live long, and probably would have been alive in just a few years.

"Master, don't talk nonsense. Your elder is a hundred years old!" Xie Sanqin said with red eyes.

Wang Shouren patted Xie Sangun's broad shoulder and smiled and said, "Life and death are destined to be a master, and you have seen through it. Sangun, you are talented and intelligent, and you have taught you all your life. If you try hard for a few years, you will definitely achieve great things. Well, don't be like this kind of childlike form for a seven-foot man."

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel moved. It seemed that Lao Wang was optimistic about San Gun.

Wang Shouren put the handkerchief in his arms, his eyes fell to Xu Jin again, and said with a smile: "How to wield the army to help the king and save the emperor, I believe Ziqian has made a decision?"

Xu Jin was not humble, and nodded and said, "Prince, please follow me into the city, and then make a long-term plan."

"Good!" Wang Shouren and Xu Jin went to Tianjin City.

Naturally, the city could not accommodate such a huge army, so all the soldiers and horses of the king were stationed outside the city.

"Report, one hundred thousand is urgent!"

Xu Jin and Wang Shouren had just sat in the hall of the Governor's Office, and a messenger flew in and said: "Report to the Governor, the Tartars attacked Guangning Gate in the early morning yesterday. The outer city was broken. Now the Tartars are attacking the inner city, and they are in a hurry."
Chapter completed!
