Except for those on guard duty, all captains are fully armed.
The all-maroon horses scraped the ground with their front hooves, and from time to time spewed out a stream of hot air that turned white from their noses.
The 13th Army Colonel riding on a horse, with a standard sword on his waist, a soap coat, and black fast boots, looked particularly energetic.
Xiao Chen walked up and down in front of the team with his hands behind his back.
The black horse next to him, with a little white hair on each front hoof, stood obediently.
Today, he is going to Yanqing Guard to arrest Huang Anliang and bring him to justice.
Considering that Huang Anliang was the commander of the Yanqing Guard and might temporarily resist, Xiao Chen specifically applied to the factory official to send additional manpower to coordinate the arrest.
Now, the agreed departure time is coming soon, and we haven't seen the troops from other stations coming yet, so we can't help but feel a little anxious.
A thunderous sound of horse hooves filled the eardrums.
In the blink of an eye, the spacious street outside the station was already occupied by the captain of the Dongchang School who was speeding towards him.
The two middle-aged men at the front got off their horses and hurriedly walked into the yard.
"Brother Xiao, the 7th and 9th battles of Dongchang are here to assist you and arrest the criminals."
The two of them raised their hands and said:
"Okay, we arrived on time. Get on your horse and set off."
Xiao Chen shouted urgently, jumped up on the spot, and landed firmly on the back of the black horse beside him.
He grabbed the reins with both hands and shook them violently.
The black horse channeled the spirit, jumped more than ten feet high with its front hooves, let out a long neigh, and took the lead to rush out of the station compound.
On the official road, a soap-colored team of more than 300 people was galloping toward the northwest like sharp arrows against the howling north wind.
Yanqing Guard Station, with several thousand households, stood in the camp of the commander-in-chief.
Wearing a close-fitting armor gives people a sense of bravery and combat skills.
Huang Anliang at the top was walking back and forth with his hands on his back.
Ever since his son-in-law Duan Shixiong was arrested, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
To this day, my right eyelid keeps beating and cannot stop.
"Everyone, something might be going on."
Turning around, Huang Anliang glanced at the thousands of households below and slowly expressed his premonition.
"If something happens, it's a big deal. You're going to die anyway, so it's better to die a more heroic death."
"What a fool. My arms can't hold my thighs. As long as one of us survives, we still have a chance to make a comeback." Huang Anliang had a trace of determination on his face.
Usually, as long as he doesn't go out, he always dresses in civilian clothes.
His smiling face always gives people a sense of security as the uncle next door.
But today, he put on the battlefield armor worn by the commander of the guard station. Although he looked older, he still had the same heroic spirit as before.
He had no idea of ​​resistance, he just vaguely felt that if he didn't wear this armor again, there would be no chance of wearing it.
A sergeant guarding the gate hurriedly ran into the camp: "Commander, it's bad. The people from the East Factory and the guards at the gate are fighting."
"What? Attacking the barracks guards?" A Qianhu said with a "swish" and pulled out the knife on his waist.
"Put down the knife." Huang Anliang shouted loudly, "Go out and see what's going on. Remember, you are absolutely not allowed to do anything."
The Qianhu still wanted to refute, but looking at Huang Anliang's serious face, he put the knife into the scabbard.
Huang An sighed deeply in his heart, what he was worried about had finally come.
Although he had the ability to resist and arrest the Dongchang captain who came to arrest him, he was unable to withstand the anger of the then emperor Ming Chengzu.
If they resist, the imperial court will destroy not only the 5,800 Yanqing Guard soldiers, but also the nine tribes of these soldiers.
This Dongchang had just been established. Many remote defense areas only knew about Jinyiwei, but they didn't know about Dongchang.
However, Huang Anliang understands.
Will the institution and power established by the emperor himself be small?
At the gate, a row of guards armed with spears stared closely at the team of more than 300 Dongchang captains in front of them.
"You don't know Dongchang? Is it because the emperor's edict didn't reach Yanqing Guard, or do you deliberately don't know?" Facing the opponent's sharp spear, Xiao Chen rode forward slowly.
The entire Dongchang school captain team followed closely behind.
"We don't know what Dongchang is. If you continue to move forward, don't blame us for taking action directly?" a guard shouted loudly.
Despite this, the hands holding the spear were trembling slightly.
"I count to three, if you still don't get out of the way, take them all." Xiao Chen was still advancing slowly.
"one"
"two"
"Wait a minute." A loud voice came from behind the row of guards.
The guards quickly put away their spears and shouted in unison: "Yang Qianhu!"
"You guys should step back, this place has nothing to do with you." Yang Qianhu said after taking a look at the row of guards.
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the row of guards obediently stepped aside and made way for the road leading to the commander's camp.
"Who is coming?" Xiao Chen tightened the reins in his hands and stopped his progress.
"Thousands of Yanqing guardsmen, Yang Feitong. Who are you?"
Xiao Chen turned his body slightly and showed the Dongchang Plum Blossom Order on his waist.
"I don't know what this is." Yang Qianhu frowned and said.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen disappeared from the horse.
"Pa", a loud slap hit Yang Qianhu's face hard.
The row of guards holding spears next to them were shocked. They were all shocked by the scene in front of them.
They were shocked, who was this person and dared to slap Yang Qianhu.
They were even more shocked that this person was so fast. The moment he took action, he didn't even catch his shadow.
Feeling the burning pain on his face, Yang Qianhu finally realized that this man actually slapped him on the ear at the gate of Yanqing Wei.
With a "wow" sound, he pulled out the knife from his waist and said: "Crash into the military camp and slap thousands of households. I will take you down to uphold the law of the country."
Seeing that the opponent actually drew his sword, the swords of the three hundred Dongchang captains were unsheathed at the same time.
"A Qianhu, I don't know what Dongchang is, and I don't know the Dongchang Plum Blossom Order. Where are you from Qianhu?" Xiao Chen snorted coldly, waved his left hand, and the scabbard was like a slap, and then
He slapped the opponent hard on the face.
Staggering, Yang Qianhu was knocked to the ground. The saber in his hand, which had been stained with the blood of countless people, was thrown under the hooves of the Dongchang captain's horse.
"Take it." Xiao Chen said coldly.
The two captains dismounted, twisted Yang Qianhu's hands behind his back, and tied them up.
"Commander, save me..." While twisting and struggling, Yang Qianhu looked towards the direction of the commander's camp and shouted loudly.
Huang Anliang inside the camp had already seen the situation outside.
While secretly cursing his recklessness, he was like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth, not knowing what to do.
Hearing the urgent calls over there, he cursed "Idiot", but he could only bite the bullet and walked out.
When he saw Xiao Chen, he seemed to have just discovered it. His face was filled with a smile and he raised his hands: "Sir, you have come a long way and it's been a tiring journey. It's cold outside. Please go into the tent and rest for a while before busying with business."
"Master Commander, you are very arrogant. You don't know what Dongchang is, and you don't know the Plum Blossom Order of Dongchang. Even if the emperor comes in person, your subordinates will ask: Which country are you the emperor of?" Xiao Chen
His face was calm, a bit scary.
With a "crash", Huang Anliang, wearing the commander's armor, quickly fell to the ground.
"I, the Yanqing Guard, am the Yanqing Guard of the Ming Dynasty. How dare I be so disrespectful to the Emperor?"
Both his forehead and back were wet with cold sweat.
Although the person in front of me looks young, his thoughts are so meticulous that it makes people feel scary.
Even if he had no fault at all, the crime of being disrespectful to the emperor alone would not be an exaggeration to implicate the nine clans.
"Humph, did the Emperor's edict regarding Dongchang leave out your Yanqing Guards and not deliver it?"
Huang Anliang pressed his chest tightly to the ground and pressed his forehead to the ground: "No, no. The emperor's edict was delivered to the Yanqing Guards on time. It's just that the military affairs are busy, and most of the soldiers are on duty outside, and they haven't understood the meaning of the edict yet.
"
Xiao Chen pointed at the Qianhu who had been tied up by Wu Hua Da, and then pointed at the row of guards holding spears next to him.
"Don't they have time?"
"I know I made a mistake, but I didn't convey it in time."
"Then take out the edict and read it to them."
"Yes, yes. I'm going to get the edict right now." Huang Anliang hunched over and slowly returned to the accounting room, never daring to raise his head.
Seeing the commander bowing back and retreating, several Qianhu hurriedly gathered around him: "Sir, do we want to fight?"
They also heard about the situation outside.
From this point of view, the opponent's goal may be to capture all the core figures of Yanqing Guard.
"You can't fight. You can keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood. You guys, sneak out of the back door and leave Yanqing Guard as far away as possible."
"Sir, what should you do? Otherwise, before they come in, you can escape with us."
Huang Anliang shook his head gently: "I am their main target and I can't get away. You guys, please leave quickly."
Then, he walked to the desk, picked up a yellow scroll, and slowly walked towards the door.
"Sir, here is the edict." Huang Anliang dragged the edict with both hands and raised it high.
"read."
"Yes." Huang Anliang bowed and replied.
With trembling hands, he opened the scroll.
"From now on, the Dongjishi Factory is established. From the emperor's relatives to the common people, everyone who sees the Dongchang will treat it as if I were here in person. Unless they don't pay homage, the Dongchang shall prevail!"
These few words sounded like the sky was falling to the ears of those thousands of people who were bound by the Five Flowers.
When this edict arrived at Yanqing Guards, the commander simply told everyone that the imperial court had established an organization called the Dong Jishi Factory and that they should not be provoked.
Just these words "don't mess with anyone" made everyone think that Dongchang was nothing special.
Now, I heard from the edict that anyone who sees Dongchang is treated as if I were here in person.
Don't mess with this easily. You can never mess with it.
Thinking about the fact that he had just drawn a sword at him, Qianhu tilted his head in fear and fainted.
Xiao Chen slowly turned around and looked at the row of guards holding spears: "Did you hear that?"
"I heard that." The soldiers in the row were already frightened out of their wits. They held their spears in their hands and fell to their knees in unison.
"Do you know what is the crime of rushing against the emperor?"
"I know, I know, it is a capital crime and the nine tribes will be exterminated."
"Come here, execute them on the spot." Xiao Chen shouted.
The ten Dongchang captains pulled out the swords from their waists with a "crash" sound and walked out of the team.
"Sir, we are just guards, responsible for guarding the door. We really don't know anything about the East Factory."
When he heard that he was about to be executed on the spot, a younger guard lay on the ground and cried.
"You are responsible for guarding the gate, do you mean to be here all the time? Didn't you hear the commander delivering the emperor's edict?"
"No, never."
"Okay. Those who don't know are not guilty." Xiao Chen waved his hand towards the ten captains who were about to take action.
Then he showed a bright smile and put his hand on Huang Anliang's shoulder.
"Master Commander, can we go into your room and have a chat?"
