After Jia Ke got up in the morning, the chef from the camp brought him breakfast. Jia Ke's breakfast was different from others. In addition to a bowl of porridge and a piece of cake, there were also several side dishes. In the entire camp,
It is the richest.
After Jia Ke finished breakfast, he ordered his soldiers to beat drums and gather together. This morning, he would discuss with various military governors the route of the advance and their positions in the team to prevent order from being disrupted along the way.
The first person who came to the Chinese army's tent was Taiyuan Jiedushi Wang Zuo, and then all the generals came to the Chinese army's tent quickly.
Lei Ying slowly entered the tent shortly after the generals arrived.
As soon as Lei Ying entered the tent, all the generals came forward to salute him. Lei Ying kept smiling at them.
While they were chatting here, someone suddenly shouted from outside: "The commander is here."
When the generals in the tent heard the shouting, they immediately abandoned Lei Ying and quickly returned to their squads to stand with solemn eyes. Lei Ying quickly came to the front and stood up.
As soon as they stood up, Jia Ke came in from outside the tent. Then he went directly to the big seat in the center.
As soon as Jia Ke sat down, all the generals below him knelt down on one knee and saluted Jia Ke. Even Lei Ying reluctantly handed over to Jia Ke.
"No need to be polite, just get up."
After hearing Jia Ke's instructions, the generals dared to stand up and stand on both sides again.
Seeing them standing, Jia Ke cleared his throat and said, "You may have heard about the matter. The Tatars have assembled hundreds of thousands of troops in the north of Gubeikou to invade us. That's why the emperor gathered a few people, thinking
Keep the enemy outside the country's borders and appoint your own commander to lead the armies."
Jia Ke said this and looked down, and finally his eyes fell on Lei Ying, "And we arranged for Mr. Lei, Minister of the Ministry of War, to be our supervisor. This is a great favor to us."
Lei Ying had already heard the sarcasm in Jia Ke's mouth, but his face was expressionless and he was not worried about this matter at all.
Jia Ke did not irritate Lei Ying too much, and then said: "Today our army will set off to the north. Taiyuan Jiedushi Wang Zuo will lead 60,000 horses to serve as the central army."
"Baoding Jiedushi Chun Yuhua is the vanguard. Qingzhou Jiedushi Huang Ling is on the right, Laizhou Jiedushi Guo Min is on the left. Henan Commander Lu Bin leads the troops to the rear. Shandong Commander Lin Feng leads his headquarters to follow the Chinese army to support at any time."
After Jia Ke finished his instructions, he looked down and said, "Generals, if you have any wrongdoings, please bring it up now. We can also discuss it. Once we get out of the big tent, whoever dares to disobey the military order will be killed without mercy."
All the military envoys and the commander-in-chief knelt down and raised their hands to Jia Ke, saying, "I will obey the command of the commander-in-chief."
"In that case, you all should return to the camp and prepare immediately. When the Chinese army's trumpet sounds, you will set off immediately. There must be no mistakes."
After listening to Jia Ke's instructions, the generals left the Chinese army's tent to reorganize their troops and prepare to set off at any time.
After Jia Ke saw everyone leaving, he said to Lei Ying: "Master Lei, please go back and get ready. We will set off soon."
Lei Ying cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Marshal, for your concern. Lei will go back and prepare now." After saying that, he cupped his hands to Jia Ke again and left the tent.
After these people left, Liu Yu entered the tent. He came to Jia Ke and said quietly: "Sir, all the soldiers have been sorted out. Do you want to set off now?"
Jia Ke nodded and said, "You go and wait outside. Once Wang Zuo's army is reorganized, we will set off immediately."
Liu Yu listened to the order and immediately left the tent. Waiting outside, waiting for Wang Zuo's report at any time.
Within half an hour, Wang Zuo sent someone to inform him that the army was ready and waiting for the commander's order.
Jia Ke just walked out of the tent, and Liu Yu had already taken Jia Ke's fire dragon colt. Jia Ke got on his horse, and then told Liu Yu: "Sound the horn immediately and order the troops to set off in order. There is no chaos.
Line up."
After listening to Jia Ke's instructions, Liu Yu immediately conveyed the order to Wang Zuo. Soon a bugle sounded in the clouds to the left, and then the bugle kept spreading to all directions.
Then the troops marched one after another, hundreds of thousands of people heading north.
The expedition of hundreds of thousands of soldiers was different from others. The first vanguard of the expedition, Baoding Jiedu envoy Chun Yuhua, took nearly half an hour to get out of camp and head north, followed by two groups of Jiedu envoys on both wings. They had just left the camp.
, the Chinese army also began to take action. When Taiyuan Jiedushi's army was completely out of the camp, he was followed by Shandong General Soldier Lin Feng, and finally Henan General Soldier Lu Bin served as the rear guard of the army.
It took nearly an hour or two for the army to start all operations. They had to maintain formation along the way, sent out scouting horses in all directions, and the troops in front and behind had to respond to each other, so the army did not move long in a day.
The army marched forward forty miles a day, and did not reach Miyun until the next day.
By this time, the Miyun garrison had already received the news and was now waiting for Jia Ke with civil and military personnel outside Miyun City.
Since Miyun held on during the last Tatar attack, Miyun's then-registrar was transferred to the south to serve as the prefect due to his merit. The current garrison was later appointed by Jia Ke, one of his generals, Hou Sheng.
.
Since Hou Sheng knew that Jia Ke was the commander-in-chief and was about to set off from Beijing, he sent scouts to keep an eye on Jia Ke's army.
He knew the day before that Jia Ke would definitely come to Miyun today, so he brought the civil and military personnel in Miyun City to greet him.
When Jia Ke heard the report from the soldiers, saying that Miyun was guarding the roadside to greet him, he quickly rushed forward with his own soldiers.
Directly in front of the team, there were dozens of people waiting there. The leader, Jia Ke, knew him as one of his generals and was later appointed as Miyun garrison.
As soon as Hou Sheng saw Jia Ke, he immediately knelt down and saluted, "General Miyun Guards Hou Sheng is going to pay tribute to the commander-in-chief."
Jia Ke sat on the horse and looked at him and said: "Get up. How about it? It's not bad in Miyun during this period, right? It didn't embarrass our Xuanfu Town, did it?"
Hou Sheng stood up and said sheepishly: "The general is doing well in Miyun. He has already reorganized Miyun's army. Now, even if he is brought out to fight against the Tatars, he is somewhat confident."
"It's good if you have this confidence. This time I will lead my troops north to your place. Miyun is my retreat. You have to guard it for me." Jia Ke said this with a double entendre.
Hou Sheng had already received Jia Ke's order, so he naturally knew what he meant. "Don't worry, Commander, but with my breath, nothing will happen to Miyun."
Lei Ying also rushed over from behind and happened to hear these words. He was a little angry in his heart. Jia Ke had now gathered all the soldiers and horses near the capital under his command. Even important passes like Miyun
He is also Jia Ke's subordinate. If things go on like this, the world will not all belong to Jia Ke. No wonder the emperor cannot tolerate him.
Hou Sheng seemed not to have seen Lei Ying, and continued to say to Jia Ke: "The commander is tired from the journey, so why not go to Miyun City to rest for a night, and then set off again tomorrow, so that the general can entertain the commander."
"Let's forget it. The military situation is urgent now and there is no need to delay. It won't be too late for you to treat me to a drink later when you have time." Jia Ke did not agree. After all, if hundreds of thousands of troops were delayed for one day, they would consume a lot of food and grass.
Seeing that Jia Ke didn't agree, Hou Sheng had no choice but to send some pigs, sheep, beef and other items to the army for practice.
While waiting for a while, Jia Ke got off his horse and sat on the roadside to rest. Hou Sheng quietly came to Jia Ke's side, ostensibly to show his courtesy to Jia Ke.
In fact, when Hou Sheng came to Jia Ke's side, he whispered: "Commander, I have not received any urgent reports from Gubeikou during this period. I don't know where the Tatar invasion from the south started."
Jia Ke glanced at him and said calmly: "I already know the reason for this. You have to guard Miyun City during this period. If anyone comes to ask you to hand over military power, you don't have to obey the order."
Hou Sheng was not a fool. After hearing these words, he understood. He raised his hands and whispered to Jia Ke: "Don't worry, Commander, as long as I am still alive, Miyun City will never change hands."
Jia Ke nodded silently and said nothing more. At this time, the soldiers came to report that the baggage sent by Miyun to reward the army had been sorted out.
After Jia Ke heard this, he stood up and ordered the army to move forward.
When Hou Sheng saw that Jia Ke was about to leave, he had to take all the civil and military personnel in Miyun City to stand aside and salute Jia Ke to see him off.
Hou Sheng waited until Jia Ke's army had disappeared before leading his men back to Miyun.
As soon as Hou Sheng returned to Miyun, he immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Fan Kang in the capital. Let Fan Kang know that Jia Ke had passed Miyun and would probably take action in a while, so that he could make preparations in advance.
At the same time, Hou Sheng ordered his soldiers to be more vigilant and sent his men to monitor the civil and military officials in the city, fearing that they would contact others and carry out some conspiracy secretly.
After Fan Kang received the information from Miyun, he knew what had happened, probably within the next day or two.
So he ordered his infantry commander's yamen soldiers to block Ningrong Street. No one was allowed in or out. If purchases were needed, the infantry commander's yamen soldiers would do the shopping for them.
Then thousands of soldiers and horses came to Ningrong Street, surrounded all three mansions on Ningrong Street, and cut off internal and external traffic.
His action scared the people in Ningrong's second house. They thought something had happened, and many of them had even begun to prepare for the funeral. These people all knew that Jia Ke had been so domineering in recent years, and even the emperor had to let him go.
point.
And they, the members of the Jia family, also benefited from Jia Ke. No one in the capital dared to provoke him. It would be a lie to say that he had not done anything that violated the king's law. Now that he saw the army surrounding the mansion, he thought
Something is going to happen, how can I not be anxious?
So when everyone saw this scene, they all thought that the emperor wanted to settle accounts with the queen. As members of Jia Ke's clan, they probably wouldn't be able to escape the emperor's investigation.
At this time, the Rongxi Hall of Rongguo Mansion was also full of people. Jia Zheng and Jia She were sitting in the center of the Rongxi Hall, with Jia Zhen sitting next to them. Below were various close relatives of the Jia Mansion. These people were discussing what they had just said.
The infantry commanded the Yamen to blockade the three prefectures.
