Tomorrow is an auspicious day, so it is good to travel.
Today, Zhao Xi stayed in the guard camp. Everything that needed to be explained was explained, and it was time to say goodbye. It was not a big deal, and listening to his family's nagging was both happy and irritating, so he might as well learn from the military general's approach and stay overnight in the military camp.
.
Si Tianjian fixed the date, and even the departure location and direction were determined.
Outside the city, or next to the East Water Gate... At this location, Zhao Xi extremely doubted that it was purely for convenience and he could board the ship directly to go on an expedition.
Obviously, Si Tianjian also knew that the military situation was urgent and did not play any fancy tricks. No matter what excuses he found, it must be beneficial to the expedition, not what he really wanted to do with the sky.
Zhao Xi had the idea of boasting about the streets in Bianliang City, and especially wanted the escort battalion to be fully armed and walk around Bianliang City...
It is taboo to be too ostentatious before going on an expedition, but you can show off your military power after returning in triumph. This concept is a characteristic of the literati of the country, so the escort battalion leaves the city quietly.
Yinshi set off, Si Tianjian said, so when the escort camp left Bianliang City, no one except the night incense pourers noticed this group of strangely dressed soldiers.
Dressed in grass green, with cloth shoes and leggings, a square thing on the back, and a criss-crossed cloth bag attached to the front.
The inner layer of these guys is dark, non-reflective armor...
Then he was carrying a tube as thick as an adult's upper arm, with a wooden support at the bottom and a dark top that felt sharp and thorn-like.
This... It was also the first time that Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo saw the guard battalion fully armed. It was very awkward. The clothes, the equipment, and the iron pipes that were uniformly carried on the right shoulders and tilted back, and
A few were carrying short, thick copper pipes on their backs.
"Settled!...Shuashua..."
"Reporting to Commander Di, the Southern Expedition Guard Battalion should have 2,005 people, but the actual number is 2,005. The gathering is complete, please give instructions..."
Mr. Lu stepped out of the queue, then ran to Di Qing, touched his left chest with his right hand, and shouted at Di Qing as if he was howling... It was really shouting!
Not to mention Di Qing, even Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo were stunned by Lu Gongzuo's actions... Is this still the same Lu Gongzuo?
Yes... no, he was not a military man, but his momentum really made them look at each other with admiration.
Elegance with heroic spirit is the best way to reflect a man's masculinity, and Lu Gongzhu accurately interpreted this at this moment.
"I look forward to a triumphant return on this expedition and hope you will take it seriously!"
Di Qing was stunned, not only at Mr. Lu's howl, but also at the equipment of the guard camp.
Fu Bi took a step forward and finished his farewell speech.
"Board...set off..."
Where to follow? No one knows whether this is considered a connection or not.
There is no way, this guard camp is different from all the military units of the country, so you have to get to know it slowly.
During the war between the two countries, although there were transport envoys who were specially responsible for logistics, the march had always been based on local food, so the troop transport ships did not have much weight.
This was also Zhao Xi's first trip by boat. It felt quite novel. He ignored Di Qing's probing eyes and walked around on the boat, looking left and right without taking any time off.
I don't understand, I really don't understand. Zhao Xi just looked at it like this, without asking or telling, for fear of making a joke about why he doesn't eat minced meat.
This thing, how should I put it, Zhao Xi always thought that the pirate movies he had seen should be the top of ancient ships. Now it seems that the shipbuilding industry of the country at this time is definitely comparable to the era of pirate ships.
While being stared at by Di Qing, Zhao Xi asked Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian to show off again.
From bedding to dry food bags, to leggings and army spurs, Wang Zhongzheng even fired a shot at a flying bird...
The most stupid behavior was that Wang Zhongzheng drew out Di Qing's sword, summoned all his strength, and struck several times on Li Xian's armor... nothing happened.
Regarding this Huo Tong... His Highness said this, Di Qing didn't care. Judging by the time it took for the chamberlain to reload his ammunition, the cavalry had already rushed over and hacked him to death.
He was only interested in the quilt and the compressed biscuit. And the spurs and armor... melee weapons...
"Your Highness..."
"Shuai Di, take your time with some things. One day, the Imperial Guards will be fully equipped."
Facing Di Qing, a pure military general, Zhao Xi didn't mind showing his martial sentiments. However, not to mention the prince, even the emperor could not stand up to the entire court.
Zhao Xi never thought about hiding, but the situation could only allow him to realize his idea in the guard camp. Even if the guard camp beat up the Jingxi Road Forbidden Army, the result would be the same.
Perhaps we really shouldn't have let go on the last day, and we should have killed the entire Jingxi Road Forbidden Army before we could wake up the court.
A group of soldiers in the wilderness can disrupt the entire Guangnan, and two thousand guard battalions can wipe out a group of forbidden troops. Can't these keep the court alert?
There is plenty of time! Yes, there is plenty of time. Dad is indeed not firm, because the abolition of the Qingli New Deal really hurt the hearts of the radicals. In addition, Lao Fan died on the way to transfer, which makes everyone sad...
How about letting me do it? It doesn’t require anything, I just need your help and some shouting, okay?
Why wait?
For the first time, Zhao Xi felt angry and wanted to find a way to vent his anger.
Sigh...forget it! Zhao Xi knew that if the emperor was really left alone, no matter how good the policy was, it would be impossible to implement it.
At the same time, it is difficult for an emperor without foundation and followers to successfully negotiate a policy in the court.
Since the founding of the country, the dynasty has become a custom... sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats!
The scholar-bureaucrats were not slaves, but a group, a force, and a class that restricted each other with the emperor to form the imperial management.
It still needs management, and it is necessary to form die-hard loyalists around you who can influence the court... I think too much.
Di Qing seemed to feel the Crown Prince's depression at this moment, which seemed to be close to the reason for his own caution...
From Bianliang, you enter the Huaihe River along the Cai River, then go all the way down to the Yangtze River, then enter the Xiangjiang River, cross the Lingqu Canal and enter the Dayong River, then you can reach Guizhou.
Water transportation along the way saves the fatigue of traveling and traveling, and also allows the soldiers to recharge their batteries.
The horses from the north and the boats from the south were on the Cai River at the beginning. The water was gentle and the speed was slowed down to take care of possible accidents that might occur when His Royal Highness took the boat for the first time.
Zhao Xi thought it was just this speed. Guangnan Road was smashed, so he was anxious, but for more than three thousand miles... he could only endure the anxiety.
After leaving the Cai River, passing through the short north-south line of the canal, and entering the Huai River, the entire troop transport ship picked up speed.
Only then did Zhao Xi believe that the so-called "thousand miles to Jiangling in one day" was not an exaggeration.
At the crossing into the Huaihe River, except for the forward led by deputy general Yang Wenguang, the rest of the Western Army met with the commander...
For a time, the entire river was almost filled with troop transport ships, galloping at a mighty pace!
