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, gradually training the rookies of the Beijing Camp and the Guards. Transform into an eagle that is about to spread its wings and fly high.
This process is not successful but it arouses cruelty, almost every day without interruption. Although the soldiers are exhausted, they are also very content. Being tired is better than going to the battlefield to fight and accidentally lose your life. Moreover, the food here is 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, but the infantry training in Tianjin Guard can still drink broth and eat meat!
And all this is thanks to Tianjin Guard commander Xiang Minxin.
Tens of thousands of troops surged 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 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 were no devils in the Devil's Den, but the place where the commander of Gongziying, Niu Yong and Zhang Jie slept and worked. At this time, they were 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 salute. 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 background of several people here is too big. 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 suddenly changed and he blurted out. But he suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder he didn't train as hard as usual today. He just did some regular training and then dismissed early to rest. It turned out that the military order had come, but he had been hiding it from himself, but why did he suddenly tell himself? , is it possible... Xiang Min is worried about gains and losses, maybe he is 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. They will have to pass through Tianjin Wei on their way north in the near future." Fan Jiaqian's words made Xiang Minxin look stunned, and then he was overjoyed: "The Tatars have been defeated, ah, great, great alright!"
I couldn't help but feel relieved in my heart. Since the Tatars wanted peace talks, they didn't need to fight.
"Then what are the conditions proposed by the Tatars? In addition to releasing Azig, they won't ask for a lot of money, right?" In Xiang Minxin's view, even if the Tatars lose, the conditions for the peace talks are that the Ming Dynasty pays the bill, otherwise it will never be easy The one who left just changed the way: I would finish grabbing and enjoy myself and then leave, 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 the prisoners of the Ming army and the people, and keep all the looted property, and then 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." ”.
Hey hey hey, Niu Yong smiled sinisterly: "The Tatars invaded our land, attacked the cities and plundered the land, and left no chickens or dogs behind. Many people suffered, and many families were destroyed. Now they can't get any relief, pat their butts and act like nothing is wrong." We left as soon as we said so, 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 old-fashioned. 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 among them, so I asked Lord Xiang to come over and give me some advice." Zhang Jie cupped his hands, 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."
good! Fan Jiaqian shook his fist heavily: "We hope Mr. Xiang will act in Tianjin Wei!"
"Acting?" Xiang Minxin was confused: "What kind of drama are you acting?"
"Perform a play for the Tatars, and not only Lord Xiang will perform it himself, but also the people of Tianjin Wei. In short, the more people, the better, the more the better." Niu Yong chuckled,
Xiang Minxin was 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 was still there by the Beiyang River, but there were a lot fewer soldiers and horses around him. There were only a few hundred in total, and there were not even a few baggage trucks.
The rain didn't stop during the day. Chang Yu didn't move 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. The carriages also left, and finally even the baggage camp 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 and said, "Something feels wrong."
"What's wrong? The things in the little governor's head are different from those of you and me. There's no wine and no women. They're all military and national 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: "Yeah, he also said that if you don't drink on this rainy day, there will be no atmosphere." Co-author 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. 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 small smile Tong and Li Yan left together.
All 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 calm down while there was no war.
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.
He needs silence so much now.
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.
