"Your Majesty, please tell me that I have nothing to fear even if I go up to the mountain of swords or to the sea of fire!"
"My dear friends, it's just training and martial arts, don't be so nervous!"
Chongzhen couldn't laugh or cry about the attitude of the two people. He knew that the two people just thought it was a war.
"The first is to divide some of the troops to simulate the enemy's attack on the vehicle camp to improve the actual combat capabilities of the vehicle camp. You and Zhang Zhiji will discuss the details!
The second is to take turns to perform martial arts with the Forbidden Army and the Four Guards of Tengxiang. Sun Chuanting, the commander of the Forbidden Army, will discuss this with you! "
After listening to the emperor's arrangement, Zhao Shujiao and He Kegang looked at each other, with a hint of astonishment in their eyes.
Is this really training and martial arts?
They thought that the drills and martial arts performances prescribed by the imperial edict were just to deceive others, but the actual purpose was to mobilize them for war.
Seeing the somewhat astonished expressions of the two of them, Chongzhen naturally knew what they were thinking, but he still said calmly: "Why, is this matter difficult for the two lovers?"
Hearing the emperor's questioning, the two of them suddenly woke up, and they were all excited, and said quickly: "No, no, I will discuss it with Commander Sun and Young Master Zhang immediately after I return! I will live up to your majesty's trust!"
"Okay, if you need anything, just discuss it with Zhang Zhiji, take action immediately, and go!"
"I understand!"
The two of them left Dongnuan Pavilion full of doubts and disappointment.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Chongzhen chuckled.
Does he really need Guan Ning's cavalry escort in this battle? Although there are few cavalry in the Xuanfu, Datong, Tengxiang Four Guards, and the Forbidden Army, is it difficult to gather 10,000 men?
If nothing else works, wouldn't it be enough to bring back the nearly 10,000 cavalrymen being trained by Fang Zhenghua from the six counties of Hexi and use them with various firearms?
Transferring Guan Ning's cavalry escort is just an excuse. The real purpose is to weaken the trump cards of the Liaoxi generals.
Once it has been adjusted back, it will be difficult to adjust it back again.
Two hours later, the neighing of war horses and shouts of killing could be heard from all the camps in the Beijing Camp, Forbidden Army, and Tengxiang Four Guards.
This situation made all the forces staring at Guan Ning's cavalry confused.
A few days later, even the generals far away in Ningyuan were confused after hearing the news. They couldn't figure out what the emperor was going to do.
During the training in the Beijing Camp and the speculations of many forces, time passed by, and it was the end of February.
In Dongnuan Pavilion, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting, and Li Ruolian were all there.
"Everyone, this is my last meeting before my personal expedition. Please tell me about the situation!"
"Your Majesty, the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Forbidden Army are all ready, and the Jingying Car Camp is also ready. The French cannons and general cannons handed over by the Firearms Research Institute have been transported to Xuanfu Town in caravans, and the army is ready to set off at any time! "
"Your Majesty, the Royal Thunder Battalion has reached the prescribed standards in terms of the layout of individual mines and minefields, and is ready to go at any time!"
"Your Majesty, most of the military supplies are now concentrated in Datong Town, which can meet the needs of the army for at least two months. During this process, surrounding supplies will continue to be transported, which can satisfy at least five months."
"Okay, everything is ready now, all we need is the east wind!"
After listening to the reports of the three people, Chongzhen nodded, and then looked at Li Ruolian: "Li Aiqing, starting from March 2nd, the Jinyi Guards will cooperate with the guard stations and post stations along the way to set up roads.
Cut off all passages on the road from Beijing to Xuanfu to prevent the leakage of news about the army's expedition.
Secondly, an order was sent to the British public, asking him to close Shanhaiguan immediately and not to open or close it within ten days! At the same time, keep a close eye on Ning Yuan and Jian Nu, and report any situation immediately! "
"Everyone, this battle will determine whether Ming Dynasty's first five-year plan can be successfully completed, and it will determine the future direction of Ming Dynasty. There is no room for sloppiness."
"I understand!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Just as Sun Chengzong and others had finished responding, a hurried voice came from outside Dongnuan Pavilion. Chongzhen frowned. Wang Chengen immediately left Dongnuan Pavilion. Just a moment later, Wang Chengen hurriedly entered Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, the maid from Kunning Palace has come to report that the queen's lower abdomen is feeling more distended. According to Po Wen and the doctor's diagnosis, she may be in labor!"
"What?"
"Yuan Aiqing, make arrangements!"
Chongzhen stood up suddenly. At this moment, he no longer had the calmness of strategizing before, and headed towards Kunning Palace with a look of anxiety on his face.
Looking at the emperor who came out of Dongnuan Pavilion, Yuan Keli immediately looked at Li Ruolian: "Commander Li, immediately arrange for people to go to Qihuang Garden, Imperial Hospital, and Imperial Pharmacy to invite famous doctors to wait in the palace, and bring all the needed medicinal materials with them. .
The palace is tightened outside and tightly guarded inside, and the Kunning Palace has deployed another thousand guards in royal robes. Anyone who comes within 100 meters of the Kunning Palace without permission will be killed without mercy! "
"Commander Sundu, you immediately go to the Forbidden Army camp to deal with emergencies. In addition, inform Teng Xiang's left guard to immediately move to Long Live Mountain!"
The two people immediately left Dongnuang Pavilion with solemn expressions and hurriedly ran outside.
The emperor has no heirs, and the queen is about to give birth. If it is a boy, he will be the eldest son. If nothing else, he will be the prince, heir apparent, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the foundation of the country.
Especially since the imperial commander is about to go on a personal expedition, there must be no accidents!
"Zhisheng, go to the Ministry of Rites immediately and ask the Ministry to prepare the necessary materials for the sacrificial ceremony!"
"I'll go and wait for His Majesty's dispatch outside Kunning Palace!"
"Okay, let's split up!"
After the two briefly communicated, Sun Chengzong hurriedly walked outside, while Yuan Keli headed towards Kunning Palace.
At this moment, at the entrance of Kunning Palace, Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan stopped Chongzhen who was coming in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law, how is the queen? Why did she go into labor suddenly?"
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The palace doctors and nurses are very experienced and there will be no risk!"
Zhang Yan glanced at the palace maids who were preparing hot water and other things in the palace, and said with relief: "If you are pregnant in ten months, according to the days, it only lasts a few days. It is normal to be a few days earlier and a few days later."
"ah……"
Just as he was talking, a faint scream came from the palace, and Chongzhen's face changed drastically.
Zhang Yan was the same, but she still said quickly: "Your Majesty, please don't come in, you will bring in bad things from outside. I'll go in and watch, don't worry!"
After saying that, he hurried into Kunning Palace, leaving only Chongzhen with an anxious face.
Peace of mind, peace of mind, what kind of medical conditions are there in later generations, there will be disputes about protecting the elderly and the children, let alone these days.
The third wife in the palace had rich experience, but she could not arrange for a uterine delivery when it was difficult to give birth like later generations.
Yuan Keli, who came in a hurry, looked at the anxious emperor and said softly: "Your Majesty, please wait in the side hall, the ministers have already made arrangements!"
Listening to Yuan Keli's voice, Chongzhen calmed down for a moment, thought for a moment, and whispered: "Yuan Aiqing, inform the famous doctors at Taiyuan Hospital, Imperial Pharmacy, and Qihuangyuan,
In case of emergency, there is no need to follow the etiquette and rules in the palace. Human lives are at stake. I forgive them! "
"I will make arrangements now!"
