For more than half a month, Chang Yu, Zhou Yuji and others led the cavalry south to pursue the enemy and fight with the Qing army in Qingzhou. Outside the Tianjin Guard City, the Gongzi Camp conducted a large-scale military training, and gradually trained the rookies of the Jingying Camp and the Guards.
Transform into an eagle that is about to spread its wings and fly high.
This process failed but aroused cruelty, almost every day without interruption. Although the soldiers were exhausted, they were also very content. Being a little tired was better than going to the battlefield to fight and accidentally losing one's life. Moreover, the food here was quite good.
Okay, if you have enough rice and soup, you can sometimes eat some meat.
Can I still eat meat?
That's right, even the soldiers and horses fighting on the front line have just had enough food and clothing, while the infantrymen training in Tianjin Guard can still drink broth and eat meat!
And all of this is thanks to Tianjin Guard Commander Xiang Minxin.
Tens of thousands of troops poured into the city at once, and Xiang Minxin complained endlessly. There was not so much food and grass supply in the city, so Chang Yu said, don't worry, I won't ask you to ask for it. We will provide our own food and grass, but the journey is a bit far. Do you want to give me some money?
Come on.
The idea is to ask Xiang Minxin to raise food in Tianjin Wei.
Xiang Minxin, who had a guilty conscience and wanted to perform well because of his empty salary, was indeed very effective. He launched a food fundraising activity in the city. Relying on his years of operation in Tianjin Wei, many bigwigs bought in and donated money and food, and even got several
Ten pigs were immediately sent over to feed the soldiers and replenish their physical strength.
It’s a blessing to have enough to eat these days. It’s incredible to be able to eat meat!
Xiang Minxin's move was highly praised by the soldiers.
Although it was midsummer, the night breeze on the Haihe River was very cool. Soldiers often enjoyed the coolness on the shore and those who were familiar with water would also play in the water. There was a very large tent not far from the shore, which was called the Devil's Den by the soldiers.
There is no devil in the Devil's Den, but the place where the commander of Gongziying, Niu Yong and Zhang Jie sleep and work. At this time, they are sitting around and paddling on the ground.
There was a noise outside the tent, and everyone looked up and saw Xiang Minxin coming. They quickly stood up to greet him. After all, Xiang Minxin was the commander of the city guard and had a higher military rank than them.
But Xiang Minxin is very humble and keeps his attitude very low, because he knows that the backstage backgrounds of several people here are very large. Needless to say, the commanders of Gongziying, the two big bosses behind Zhang Jie and Niu Yong have
A few can afford it.
"You are all so anxious to summon me, but what important thing happened?" Xiang Minxin cupped his hands and found a seat to sit down. Fan Jiaqian glanced at Niu Yong and others and then said to Xiang Minxin: "I received the call from the factory in the early morning this morning.
Warlord's Order".
"What military order?" Xiang Minxin was startled and then his face changed and he blurted out. But he suddenly realized that no wonder he didn't train as hard as before today. He just did some regular training and then dismissed early. It turned out to be a military order.
He came, but he kept it secret from himself, but why did he suddenly tell himself? Could it be... Xiang Min was worried about gain and loss, maybe he was going to the front line.
"The Tatars were defeated by the factory governor at the foot of Qingzhou City. Now they are proposing peace talks. Soon they will have to pass through Tianjin Wei to go north and out of the customs." Fan Jiaqian's words made Xiang Minxin look stunned, and then he was overjoyed: "The Tatars are defeated, ah, great, so great
alright!"
I couldn't help but feel relieved in my heart, since the Tatars wanted peace talks, there was no need to fight.
"Then what are the conditions proposed by the Tatars? In addition to releasing Azige, they won't ask for a lot of money, right?" In Xiang Minxin's view, even if the Tatars were defeated, the conditions for the peace talks were that the Ming Dynasty would pay for it, otherwise it would never be easy
The one who left just changed the way: I would grab it myself and have a good time before leaving, or you would take the initiative to give it to me and leave immediately.
Hum, Li Tiezhu sneered: "The conditions for the peace talks are that the Tatars release all Ming army prisoners and civilians, keep all the looted property, and get out with their tails between their legs, otherwise the factory governor will keep them in the Ming Dynasty at all costs."
Eat it one bite at a time!”
Ah! Xiang Minxin was immediately dumbfounded to see such an abnormal operation, and quickly said: "The dog Tatars finally encountered a hard problem this time, the factory supervisor is so powerful! We have been bullied by the Tatars for more than ten years, and we are finally proud and proud.
It’s been a while.”
Hey hey hey, Niu Yong smiled sinisterly: "The Tatars invaded our land and attacked the cities and plundered the territory. They left no chickens or dogs behind. Many people suffered, many families were destroyed and their families were killed. Now they can't get any favors, pat their butts and act like nothing is wrong."
We leave as soon as we say it, I dare to ask Mr. Xiang, how can we be so proud and proud!"
"Yes, we can't let the dog Tatars go away like this." Xiang Minxin is a mature person. He knows what these people are thinking by observing their words, so he just goes with what they say.
"The Factory Superintendent has made a decision on this matter and is making arrangements, and our Tianjin Guards are also involved, so I asked Lord Xiang to come over and give advice." Zhang Jie cupped his hand, and Xiang Minxin said quickly: "It is obligatory to kill the Tatars. If you use Xiang's
Even though the local government has said that it will never push back or obstruct the government.”
OK! Fan Jiaqian waved his fist heavily: "We hope Mr. Xiang will act in Tianjin Wei!"
"Acting?" Xiang Minxin was confused: "What kind of drama?"
"Let's put on a play for the Tatars, and it won't just be performed by Mr. Xiang himself, but also the people of Tianjin Wei. In short, the more people, the better, the more the better." Niu Yong chuckled,
Xiang Minxin became even more confused: "Can you guys explain it more clearly?"
At the same time, the rain in Qingzhou Prefecture was still falling, not slowing down.
Chang Yu's tent by the Beiyang River is still there, but there are a lot fewer soldiers and horses around him. There are only a few hundred in total, and there are not even a few baggage trucks.
The rain didn't stop during the day. Chang Yu didn't leave either. He was either sleeping in a tent or fishing by the river. However, the rest of the army had already broken camp and left. Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji led the army to follow the Qing army. Li Yan was lying in a comfortable bed.
They also left in carriages, and finally even the baggage camp was set off.
In the originally huge military camp, there were only dozens of soldiers left, including hundreds of soldiers from Black Tiger Camp and Black Wolf Camp.
In a tent not far from Chang Yu's handsome tent, Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu were holding wine bottles and sipping peanuts, looking at the little eunuch fishing by the river with drunken eyes.
"Lao Jiu, do you think the young governor has something on his mind?" Jia Waixiong wiped his mouth: "I always feel something is wrong."
"What's wrong? The things in the little governor's head are different from those of you and me. There's no wine or women. They're all military and state affairs. The little governor is a person who does big things, so he naturally has a lot on his mind.
". Lao Jiu burped and suddenly laughed and said: "If there is something wrong, it is that we brothers are allowed to drink now."
Hehe, Jia Waixiong also laughed: "Yes, he also said that if you don't drink on this rainy day, there will be no atmosphere." The little governor doesn't like to drink himself, but he likes to watch others drink!
"No, no, no, you're wrong." Lao Jiu shook his hand: "The factory supervisor doesn't like to watch other people drink, but he likes to watch us two drinking..." Quack quack, the two of them laughed like ducks!
Chang Yu, who was in a daze while fishing, was disturbed by the quacking of ducks. He frowned, picked up a stone from the river and threw it at the tent over there, and then the duck made no sound.
"Drinking can't stop you two from talking," Chang Yu snorted, raised his hand and picked up a crucian carp: "Master Fang, come here..." He suddenly shut up and then shook his head and smiled bitterly, Li Muchian also said with a smile
Tong and Li Yan left together.
Most of the troops have left, why is he still here?
Could it be that he is reluctant to leave Qingzhou City?
Of course not, he just wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no war to calm down.
During these days, chasing the enemy for more than ten thousand miles and fighting for more than ten times put his mind and body under high tension and could not relax for a moment. But now he needed to relax, reflect on his recent actions, and put all the experiences of the past half month into perspective.
Go through it again, which decision was too hasty and which plan was not thorough enough.
In addition, we need to carefully consider whether additional conditions can be added to the peace talks with the Qing army this time and the feasibility of the dark plan.
Right now, he needs silence so much.
As for the front, there is no need to worry too much. The Qing army has agreed and is fulfilling the terms of the peace talks. Will there be any leakage in the near future? Even if it does, with Li Yan, Li Muxing, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and others standing in the way, it can be smoothed out with a slap.
