Chapter 295

Shi Heng, who should have been in the Chinese army, became a forward general and repeatedly ordered the infantry to keep up, which suffered more than 30000 other ordinary soldiers. Without a good horse, how can two legs be four legged opponents? In this way, the distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther. Not only that, even the infantry team is also very long, so that some soldiers have almost arrived in Langfang, and some soldiers have just come out of the Tianjin guard.

Such a long dragon army has too many weaknesses. As many as Kaohsiung, it can quickly find several huge loopholes.

Having a loophole is tantamount to giving an opportunity. Kaohsiung is not polite. Commander Gao, who has integrated the army, fell from the sky with cold front and auxiliary soldiers, and knocked on the head of the Ming army like a drinking stick

At the gate of the capital, Yiming, the Minister of the Ministry of war, and Chen Guan, the eunuch with the palm print of the Royal Horse supervisor, supervised the eunuch Ru Zhu and others to stand on the gate, looking eagerly into the distance.

Finally, the smoke and dust flew up, and the cavalry in the distance was faintly visible.

"Come, come." Yiming saw the cavalry with the Daming flag appear. His face was loose and his whole body was soft. After a night of anxious waiting, Shi Heng finally came back. In this way, he can finally take off the burden in his heart. Next, even if there is a crisis, there is a tall man who can bear it.

It was indeed 3000 cavalry led by governor Shiheng. Because they rushed to the front, they were not disturbed all the way, and were able to appear safely and smoothly at the gate of the capital. His arrival was also warmly received by people led by Yiming.

"Where is the emperor? What's the situation in the capital?" Shi Heng, who jumped off the horse, asked Yiming and others eagerly.

"Governor Shi, the emperor is waiting for you in the palace. Just follow me quickly." Yiming naturally can understand Shi Heng's eagerness, so he said clearly.

Zhonghe Hall of the imperial palace.

One of the three main halls of the Forbidden City is also the smallest of the three main halls of the outer court, located behind the Taihe hall. The Zhonghe hall was also the place where the emperor took a break and practiced etiquette before the grand ceremony in the Taihe hall.

This is also the emperor's private place. It's enough to show his importance to meet Shi Heng here.

As soon as he entered the Zhonghe hall, Shi Heng fell on his knees and shouted respectfully, "long live my emperor."

"Aiqing is flat." Zhu Qiyu's face is full of harmony. Shi Heng's loyalty can be seen by the fact that he was rushed back by Tianjin Wei so soon. With such a loyal minister and good general, as an emperor, he is enough to comfort himself.

"Thank you, Emperor." Shi Heng got up and looked up at Zhu Qiyu. His eyes were full of care and remorse.

It seemed that he saw the meaning in Shi Heng's eyes. Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "it doesn't matter. I'm fine, the capital is fine, and the ministers are fine. When Aiqing comes back, everything will be better, ha ha ha."

Hearty and complacent laughter resounded through the whole Zhonghe hall, but with this burst of laughter, a burst of eager footsteps came out.

Looking for prestige, it is Chen Guan, the eunuch in the palm of the Royal Horse warden. As one of the heads of eunuchs in charge of military affairs, Chen Guan seldom has good news when he appears.

When Chen Guan appeared, the smile on Zhu Qiyu's face gradually converged, and his bad hunch was getting better and better. "Emperor, urgent report ahead..."

......

Yangjiazhuang.

In neizhuang's study, Hu mang sent a newly received information to Yang Chendong. After opening it, dongshuai's laughter rang out, "yes, yes, Kaohsiung captured more than 15000 strong and brave soldiers of the Ming army in this war. Together, governor Shi Heng has given us half of the prisoners. He is really the commander-in-chief of transportation!"

Hu mang doesn't understand what is the commander in chief of transportation, but he knows one thing. That is, the front won another battle. At the moment, he said happily, "yes. With so many young soldiers this time, it must be possible to expand Leng Feng's team."

"It's good to expand. But we must pay attention to the quality of the soldiers. In this way, we will send a notice to the red embedded City, so that the instructors there can pay attention. We must first improve the loyalty of the soldiers, and the assessment of Leng Feng can't have the slightest carelessness. We'd rather be short than excessive!"

The use of the word "prefer lack to abuse" shows that Yang Chendong has set high standards and strict requirements for Leng Feng.

Leng Feng has always been the most elite in Yang Chendong's heart. He wants to fight and conquer the world with the help of this army. Even so, we must not have too many soldiers. Otherwise, it will be difficult to support them with large financial resources. This requires them to be less and better, so that they can leverage the greatest interests with the least power.

In fact, Leng Feng has never let Yang Chendong down since his establishment. Just like this landing battle disguised as the Japanese army, Kaohsiung clearly wrote in the report that cold front had no casualties, only more than 20 auxiliary soldiers were killed and more than 300 auxiliary soldiers were injured.

With less than 400 casualties, he captured more than 25000 Ming soldiers and took away more than 20000 people near Tianjin Weigang port. Naturally, Shi Heng took credit with one heart. Zhu Qiyu's random command is one of the factors, but Lengfeng's own strength also accounts for a very important part. It is precisely because of their leadership and their focus that we can win at once.

This is the meaning of elite.

On the contrary, if the cold front is mixed with sand and cannot become the elite among the elite, can you really point to their achievements? Therefore, the word "prefer lack to abuse" is very suitable here.

Hu Mang, who has always regarded the words of the sixth young master as truth, immediately promised and went out to spread the news. After Yang Chendong was left alone in the study, he slowly sat down on the chair, and then his eyes fell on the map on the wall, where Japan is located. Through his eyes, he seemed to have slowly penetrated the past, and he had seen the exciting scene of the bright five-star red flag inserted there soon.

......

In the palace, Chen Guan fell to his knees and told about the heavy losses caused by the attack when the army returned to Beijing.

Shi Heng, who was still excited and waiting to hear the emperor's praise, fell to his knees with a plop, and then said with a tremor in his voice, "I'm guilty, I'm guilty."

It is indeed a crime to lead more than 30000 soldiers and discount nearly half on the way. Other emperors, I'm afraid, can directly send an edict to prison.

Zhu Qiyu was naturally very angry. But what is more clear in his heart is that Shi Heng can't move now. If there is no senior general available, if this person commits a crime, I'm afraid he will face a situation that will not be available once a crisis occurs.

"Hey, that's all. Governor Shi is eager to help." Zhu Qiyu was very dissatisfied, and then spit out this sentence.

Instead of talking about Aiqing, he said that governor Shi had seen Zhu Qiyu's dissatisfaction. How could Shi Heng not hear clearly? Knowing that he had made a big mistake, he knocked his head to the ground again and said, "emperor, my minister asks for atonement with merit. I will find the main force of the Japanese army, fight against it and rescue the captured soldiers to show our great spirit."

"Well, that's it. I allow you to commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds. I hope you can bring me good news this time. Go," said Zhu Qiyu, who was somewhat discouraged and disappointed. But in fact, my heart is very depressed. Why do events always follow one after another after I became the emperor? And nothing is going well. This time the new army suffered such heavy losses. I'm afraid it will take some time to recover?

What if I didn't choose Shi Heng as the general, but Yang Chendong as the commander? Will there be a different ending?

Just thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu shook his head and rejected it. Yang Chendong's mind is hard to grind. In this way, ministers who can't be fully trusted can't give too much power anyway. Otherwise, they will have trouble sleeping and eating. Seriously, that's what they suffer.

Shi Heng left the palace and looked for the whereabouts of the main force of the Japanese army together with Yiming, the Minister of the Ministry of war, Chen Guan, the imperial horse supervisor and the eunuch. Without waiting for them to inquire about anything, the Tianjin Health Office came the news that a large number of Japanese troops suddenly entered the Tianjin port and left there by boat. The rough number should be between 30000 and 40000.

"Where did so many Japanese troops come from?" Yiming Shangshu was shocked when he heard the news. He would not have thought that those people were actually captured officers and soldiers.

Shi Heng was shocked. He flashed on his face for a moment. Then he said excitedly, "well, there are so many enemies left. This time, there should be not many Japanese troops left in Daming. The governor suggested that people should check their whereabouts immediately. Once they were found, they would be encircled and suppressed by the army. In any case, they can't have any trouble."

"I agree." minister Yiming of the Ministry of war, eunuch Chen Guan nodded in agreement.

After the three had a unified opinion, the spies in the army, the spies of the Ministry of war and the experts of East Hall and royal guards all quietly left the city and began to look for the trace of the Japanese army everywhere. But at this moment, Kaohsiung has already left by ship with the main force and prisoners from Tianjin port.

Nie Tong has disappeared from the ship. He was left behind, along with the cold front elites of two companies. At the request of the sixth young master, they continued to engage in wind and rain in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In a word, they must not let Shi Heng stop them, let alone give them enough time and opportunities to train the new army. And only when external threats exist all the time, not many people will pay attention to themselves. If the critical moment, Nie tong can also take two hundred cold fronts into the capital to ensure the safety of the young master.
