Unexpectedly, Mrs. Dingyuan Bo understood the righteousness so well. Wang Daan's eyes were a little red. Now, Jizhou is surrounded by chaos, and Dingyuanbo's territory is the first to be affected.
At this time, it was really hard to say anything about coming to transfer her private soldiers away. However, the sacred mandate was difficult, so he had to do it forcefully.
After receiving the imperial edict, Xiao Niangpi directly summoned Huang Hao, Director of Transportation. As soon as Huang Hao got up, he was urgently called to the festival hall by the orderly soldiers. He was wondering what happened.
As soon as he entered the festival hall, he saw his wife in a formal dress, standing in the middle with the second wife, with a eunuch and some people from the royal guards beside her.
Although Xinghe Tuanlian withdrew from Jinyiwei's organization. However, they all had the military household registration of Jinyiwei.
Their official positions and seals are all there. It's just that people have been transferred out of the organization. This is also the brilliance of Chongzhen. He will not completely trust anyone.
In the future, if Luo Yangxing refuses to obey and has bad thoughts, he will use Yang Fan's people to check and balance him. You can get these people back at any time.
This is also an encouragement to Luo to cultivate his nature. If he doesn’t work hard, he will still have a spare tire waiting for him.
"Huang Hao has met Madam. I have met the envoy and all the gentlemen." Huang Hao's rank in Jinyiwei is not high, he is just the general banner.
But the time in the palace gave them insights. Just by looking at the clothes, you can tell that this person is the eunuch in charge of rituals.
The youngest of the Jinyiwei people are the general banner, the rest are trial hundred households, and there are several deputy thousand households.
He is very familiar with Jin Yiwei's clothing and grade.
"Huang Hao, I asked you to come here because I have a mission for you." Xiao Niangpi said seriously: "Ji Town is in turmoil and the rebel forces are strong. The current situation is urgent. Your Majesty has issued an edict to mobilize the Xinghe Regiment to train in Beijing to assist in the defense. I have considered you When I stayed in the Wei Palace, I served as the general banner and was responsible for the security of the Qianqing Palace. I am familiar with His Majesty. This time I am going to let you be the leader and lead the troops to King Qin of Beijing. Is there any problem?" Huang Hao immediately stood at attention and said loudly: "No problem "Yang Fan has always emphasized that it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders.
Regardless of whether the command is right or wrong, as long as there is no problem with the program, it must be executed unconditionally. If the order is wrong or there are other problems, the relevant personnel will be held responsible afterwards.
Therefore, he took the order very simply. During this period, group training was originally led by Donkey Dan. However, Lu Dan was not familiar with the palace and had little contact with His Majesty, so he was not as suitable as Huang Hao, who had served as the general guard of the Qianqing Palace.
"Okay, the work of the Transportation Department will be temporarily presided over by the deputy director. You immediately take the military talisman to mobilize the Xinghe regiment and come to the school ground to gather. I will have someone prepare the tiger talisman for you and hand it to Huang Hao. Huang Hao stood at attention and saluted. , quickly walked out of the festival hall without any delay. Half an hour later, on the Xincheng campus, 3,600 cavalry were ready to go. Wang Daan and the Jinyi guards were all shocked by the efficiency of this troop's assembly. In two quarters of an hour, They were all shocked. Soldiers in this era could not prepare for a day or two to prepare for war. It is considered good for Ming Dynasty to be able to leave within the same day. Unless they are soldiers going on an expedition, it is only possible to assemble the three-way drums in the military camp. In half an hour, not only the soldiers and horses were fully loaded, but also the auxiliary troops of a regiment were assembled. The four-wheeled carriages and supplies were also assembled. It's all ready. In order to protect the new city from the rebels, the cavalry teaching regiment and the Xinghe regiment are stationed in the new city, and the supplies are prepared in advance. Just pull them out from the warehouse. At this time, Xiao Niangpi and others are facing the sand table in the festival hall , studying the marching route.
"Now, the route from Chaobai River has been blocked. There are more than 20,000 rebels there, and there are many stragglers looting the countryside. Jizhou has fallen, and water transportation has stopped, making it impossible to get through." Huang Hao said.
Xiao Niangpi touched her chin and said thoughtfully: "Let's take the overland route from the south. You are all cavalry and are fast. It doesn't matter if you take a detour. We can go in an arc from the south. Bypass the Tongzhou battlefield." Donkey Dan pointed at the sand table. Said: "Madam, if you go south, you can only go to Miao County. I heard that Wang Jiayin led 2,000 people to block the block there, and I heard that there were 8,000 rebels in the Xianghe area. I don't know if there was a fight. Maybe. Crash into them." Now the large-scale rioters in the east of the capital have almost blocked all traffic.
Neither waterways nor land routes are accessible. When Wang Daan and others came, they came at night. There were only a few dozen people with a small target. They came through the wilderness and did not dare to take the official road. They were in danger several times.
It would be difficult for the army to move on such a large scale without running into the rebels. For a moment, everyone hesitated. Huang Hao said: "Madam, the rebels in the Xianghe area are divided into several large groups. When we encounter them, we can just fight. Even if 8,000 people gather together, they are no match for us." Seeing Huang Hao so confident , Xiao Niangpi agreed.
After all, she didn't know much about the combat effectiveness of the troops. Those who really understand have to be people in the military.
"Okay then, let's leave from Miao County." Xiao Niangpi nodded.
"Eunuch Wang, I should have led the team myself, but now I am really incapable of riding a horse or carrying a gun. I really have failed the divine grace. Let General Huang lead the team." Wang Daan said quickly: " It's already a great help that Madam can prepare all the troops, horses, food and grass so quickly. Madam can rest at home and recuperate, General Huang is enough." Wang Da'an was anxious and didn't know what was going on in Tongzhou.
He immediately set off with his team. He went first with his cavalry. The baggage regiments were all temporarily recruited militia infantry, driving carriages behind them.
Not far after setting off, Wang Daan discovered that their horses were weak and could not keep up with the group. Huang Hao quickly replaced them with Arabian horses.
Wang Daan and the Jinyiwei people happily rode on the tall horses of Xinghe Tuanlian. They had long been envious of these good horses. These horses were more than a foot taller than their horses at the shoulders.
The limbs are more slender. When running, they beat their horses one and a half steps at a time. Moreover, they are all composed of one person and three horses.
One horse is for riding, one is empty, and the other is carrying weapons, equipment, baggage, etc. It is 150 miles from Xincheng to Miao County, and more than 50 miles from Miao County to Yongding Gate.
After the army set off, it quickly switched to fast pace and began to accelerate its march. Because of their long legs, these Arabian horses can quickly catch up with the Mongolian horses.
We set off at around 7 a.m. and arrived outside Miao County at around 4 p.m. The journey went smoothly without encountering any large groups of rebels.
Some small groups of rebels fled away from such a large cavalry group. Huang Hao was eager to rush to the capital and ignored them.
Watch them carrying away the looted property in a hurry. Tuan Lian rushed to the outside of Miao County and immediately stood on the high slope to observe the situation ahead.
This is the front line of the confrontation with Xianghe. Huang Hao saw that densely packed rebels were attacking the county seat of Miao County in front.
It seems that the rebels from Xianghe have already attacked. Originally, intelligence showed that there were more than 8,000 of them, but now it appears that there are clearly more than 10,000.
It appears that other rebels have joined them. They robbed Xianghe County and got a sweet deal, and now they are rushing to Miao County.
