There are actually many factions within the Donglin Party.
Although they are both members of the Donglin Party, their political ideas are not consistent with each other.
Most officials just want to find a team and sign up to stay warm.
These officials are mediocre and do nothing, just follow the crowd.
There are also some officials who like to be opportunistic, cheat, and seek fame and gain capital.
It was these officials who made the Donglin Party's reputation as street rats, rotten scholars, and sour scholars in later generations.
In addition, there are some Donglin Party members who really want to benefit the country and the people.
For example, Sun Chengzong, the pillar of the country, was also a member of the Donglin Party.
In the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Keli and Yang Lian, among the ten most honest officials, were also members of the Donglin Party.
Zhou Chaorui, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Yuan Huazhong, and Gu Dazhang in the year of Tianqi were all members of the Donglin Party, and were also known as the "Six Gentlemen of Donglin".
Among them, Zuo Guangdou was also Shi Kefa’s teacher.
There are too many Donglin Party members, and it cannot be explained clearly in one sentence if you want to distinguish who is good and who is bad.
Su Mingzhe also didn't want to end up with the situation of "when the water is clear, there will be no fish".
Therefore, during this personal expedition, Su Mingzhe entrusted state affairs to Sun Chengzong, which was also a test for the Donglin Party members.
As long as the Donglin Party passes the test, Su Mingzhe will let the Donglin Party survive for a while.
Three thousand Han generals protected Su Mingzhe and galloped through Yuguan.
Yuguan, also called Yulinguan, is located four hundred northwest of Beiping.
One person rides two horses, and the horse is whipping forward, and the journey is two hundred in one day.
It took half a month to get from Jinling to Yuguan.
This kind of marching speed can already be called divine speed.
If there are infantry, the time spent will increase at least two or three times.
At that time, it was best to use canals or sea ships to transport troops.
When he arrived at the border, Su Mingzhe first met with dozens of border generals and more than a dozen grassland tribe leaders.
After everyone said the ceremony, he ordered everyone to retreat and ordered the three thousand Han generals to go to the camp to rest for five days.
Su Mingzhe followed the Qi family's army commander to the coach's tent in the city.
He will stay here for the next few days, and all the guards originally arranged by the border guards will be replaced by Qi Jiajun.
During the Wanli period, whenever the imperial court used troops, the Qi family army would be called upon in every battle.
This time is no exception.
When Su Mingzhe arrived at the pass, Ding Yi, the chief general of the local Qi Army, was summoned to the procession.
When Su Mingzhe met Ding Yi, he asked him to lead his troops to replace the original guard.
As soon as this order came out, the faces of all the generals in Yuguan turned dark.
Doesn’t the new emperor value Qi Jiajun too much?
Compared with the ugly faces of other generals in Yuguan, the Qi Jiajun generals were excited.
After more than thirty years of absence, Qi Jiajun finally made it to his prime!
Ding Yi immediately led the generals into the lobby one by one and swore allegiance to Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe's sensitive nose immediately smelled a faint fragrance of powder as everyone entered the tent. He couldn't help but glance at the crowd, then lowered his eyes slightly and smiled at Ding Yi and asked :
"General Ding, I heard before that it was very difficult for the Qi Army to replenish its troops, and I still didn't believe it. Now that I see that there are women as generals in your Qi Army, I believe it!"
Ding Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that Su Mingzhe had such a keen sense of smell. He quickly knelt down on one knee and explained:
"Reporting to your Majesty, this is Ding Baiying, a young girl who has been practicing martial arts with the general since she was a child. She is very talented. When she was fifteen years old, she went out to kill the enemy. Later, the general saw that she was really determined to contribute to the country, so she gave her A chance for her..."
"General Ding is truly a loyal man!"
When Su Mingzhe heard the words 'Ding Baiying', when he looked at the female general, his eyes immediately softened a lot.
Unexpectedly, this world also involves "Xiu Chun Dao".
Although he praised Ding Yi and his daughter, Su Mingzhe still shook his head and said:
"This time the army attacks, I'm afraid we will have to fight thousands of people. It will be extremely hard. Miss Ding should stay in Yuguan to defend the city!"
"The last general has issued a decree to thank you!"
Seeing that the emperor did not continue to dwell on his daughter's sin of joining the army, Ding Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed and stood up.
Ding Baiying didn't expect that she would be kicked out of the army by the emperor. She wanted to stand up and argue for herself. Lu Wenzhao, who was standing in front of her, quickly took the lead, walked out, and reported to the man sitting on the dragon throne. road:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the food and grass for the border troops have been prepared, and the army has been assembled and prepared. It is ready for your Majesty's orders at any time!"
"That's right! Here's the decree: On May 25th, we will gather at three quarters at Mao hour and set off at Chen hour!"
Su Mingzhe has been leading troops in wars for many years, and has long been accustomed to giving orders on the battlefield.
The departure time was set and all the generals retired, except Ding Yi.
Ding Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Qi Jiajun who stayed in Yuguan, had more than 2,000 Qi Jiajun under his command.
"General Ding, this time I go out to fight against the Jurchens. I don't want your Qi army to be the vanguard, but I want you to be the rear army. Can you do it?"
Su Mingzhe explained his plans and battle plan.
"The final general's decree!"
No matter whether Ding Yi is a forward or a defender, they are the Qi family army. When they go to the battlefield, they will only obey orders!
Seeing that Ding Yi had a good attitude, Su Mingzhe nodded with satisfaction:
"I know that you, the Qi Family Army, have paid a lot for the Ming Dynasty over the years. Now that it is the Great Zheng Dynasty, I cannot reward you for no reason. However, this time I go to the outside of the Great Wall, and when the army returns, it should be your Qi Family Army, and I will never do it. There will be nothing missing!"
My dear, there will be more after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue. There will be more exciting things to come!
"I will thank the Lord for your kindness!"
Ding Yi didn't know whether to believe what Emperor Dazheng said before him.
However, for Su Mingzhe to say these words, it can be said that he spoke from his heart.
Afterwards, Su Mingzhe and Ding Yi discussed some military situations outside the Great Wall, and they allowed him to leave after half an hour.
When Ding Yi returned home, he saw his daughter Ding Baiying and several disciples such as Lu Wenzhao, Ding Xiu, and Ding Xian.
"father!"
"master!"
Everyone came forward to greet them. As the eldest disciple, Lu Wenzhao asked with concern:
"Your Majesty left you, didn't you say anything?"
"I didn't say anything, I just asked about the enemy's situation and explained the tactics of this expedition!"
Ding Yi did not hide anything from his disciples. He immediately told his disciples everything Su Mingzhe had told him, and finally said:
"His Majesty knows that our Qi family army is good at infantry warfare, so he specially kept us as the rear army. We cannot betray His Majesty's trust!"
Ding Baiying heard this and quickly said:
"Dad, since the Qi family army is going to stay behind, Your Majesty will definitely not be able to see it, so you might as well let me come too!"
Ding Yi only had an only daughter, Ding Baiying. In order to pass on the Qi family army, he had to accept many apprentices and adopted sons.
However, at present, among the Yuguan Qi family army, only his daughter Ding Baiying has received Ding Yi's true biography.
Therefore, Ding Baiying wanted to go out of the country with her father, so that she could help her father make great achievements.
"Nonsense! Your Majesty knows everything, how could he be deceived by you?"
Ding Yi obviously didn't want to take risks and rejected his daughter's proposal: "Well, there is no need to mention this matter again, everyone will go and prepare! Wen Zhao, Ding Xiu, and Bai Ying's three hundred troops and horses will be given to you to share the command!"
"yes!"
Lu Wenzhao and Ding Xiu naturally did not dare to disobey their master's orders.
Seeing that Ding Baiying could not get permission from her father and that her troops were separated again, Ding Baiying was so angry that she stamped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.
