Chapter 204

Although the dispute over imperial power that lasted for several years ended temporarily when the prince won Dan's eastern expedition and withdrew from Yanjing, with the help of Ning's children, the prince still controlled the most elite Huben army of the Empire, and still had the power to control the counties in the East and North.

Ning Zhize, Ning Chengzhi and other core figures of the Ning family retained the title of knighthood due to the defeat of Huang Moyuan, but removed their previous generals and temporarily stayed in front of the crown prince's victory pill account to listen to Hou's call and see the effect, and there was no actual punishment.

The prince's son and grandson yinglei were punished by the emperor for the defeat of Huang Moyuan. They devoted themselves to practicing for three years and thought about mistakes, and were not allowed to leave Yanjing.

After this, Yao Qitai and Yao Xuan, who were detained by Wen Boyuan on unwarranted charges in Tongbei mansion, were also acquitted; At this time, no one will investigate Wen Boyuan and fan Chun for detaining the generals without authorization.

After the release of Yao Qitai and Yao Xuan, they didn't go out with the crown prince Ying Dan, but were granted the status of scattered cavalry and regular attendants. Their salary was too high. Sun Ying was tired to practice in the school palace.

Except Yao Qitai, Yao Xuan and their sons, Yao's other sons did not explicitly take refuge in the 19th king or prince, but recruited generals in Leihe, the land of clan fiefdom, and formed reinforcements all the way into Heyang County to participate in the war against the black Yan army; It is only nominally to accept the moderation of Prince Yingdan.

Like Chen Hai, Zhao Wutai, Tu Chongjin, Tu Chongzheng, Tu Ziji and fan Chengdu were all granted the rank of Suwei general; Fan Chun canonized the Marquis of the pavilion and thousands of families in the Food City, which was located in Leiyang Valley, Tongbei Prefecture; The children of the fan, Tu and Zhao families trusted by Wang Yingshu in the 19th century began to be incorporated into the Xiyuan army in large numbers and occupy important general positions.

In addition to the defense at the foot of the capital, the Xiyuan army was also responsible for going north to Wushengguan and fighting against Jiyang County. In just one or two months, elite children and private soldiers from various nationalities were selected and expanded. The number of soldiers has been increased to 250000, and Qintong camp, Xiyuan camp, wusheng camp and Nanqi camp have been officially established.

The Xiyuan army still returned to the old road of reusing the children of the eight nationalities in Jingjun as generals and rejecting guest generals, but the 19th Wang Yingshu still made some important changes. The most important thing is to no longer measure and select generals based on the level of cultivation.

Fan Chun, Zhao Wutai, Tu Chongjin, Tu Chongzheng, Zhao Rong, Tu Ziji and others, although they have no accomplishments in daodan territory, they still occupy the core general position in the Xiyuan army, while those strong in daodan territory who have newly joined the Xiyuan army of Zhu clans are incorporated into the army as military supervisors or military personnel.

By this time, the Xiyuan army had nothing to do with Chen Hai; Since the main forces of the Xiyuan army have been transferred out of qintongguan, Tongbei warehouse has become dispensable and no longer important.

At the end of October, Chen Hai wrote to Wen Boyuan, hoping to resign from the post of secretary Cheng of Dacang in Tongbei and return to the school palace to devote himself to practice.

Wen Boyuan didn't immediately accept it, but sent a letter to Chen hai to Yanjing city to meet him.

According to Dong Pan's recommendation, the Hexi side arranged Li Xianghai to enter qintongshan and serve as the supervisor of shichengling Taoist academy, while Pei Jinhua and sun Buhui, who were obsessed with practice, stayed in shichengling Taoist Academy.

In late October, Dong pan, Wu Xiong, Dong Ning and others had returned to Meiwu castle.

The second imperial decree issued from Yanran palace to spread the imperial edict to the world is to invite 28 royal families other than the eight families in Jingjun to send troops to reinforce the capital and eliminate the bandits.

The Hexi side plans to send 20000 reinforcements. Although it is not known who will serve as the main division of the reinforcements, Dong pan and Wu Xiong have to go back to Meiwu fort and make preparations for the Hexi reinforcements in advance.

Chen Hai left Zhou Jingyuan, Ding Shuang, Ge Tong and Shen Kun in juquanling. He took Su Ling, Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang, took two black feather giant vultures, and flew directly across the mountains to Yanjing city.

The Jueling mountain at the eastern foot of Qintong mountain is also more than ten thousand feet high. When the fierce cold evil spirit wind blows over, there is a kind of bone cutting pain that the spirits will be blown out -- at this time, Chen Hai doesn't care that he will consume a lot of Zhenyuan. He works with Su Ling, Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang to destroy the spiritual armor and body protection magic weapon to resist the cold evil spirit wind from people and the spiritual birds under his feet.

In this way, even if they want to rest in the mountains for a day, it is much faster than taking a horse around qintongguan from Nanzhang mansion.

After entering Gyeonggi, Chen Hai went to Meiwu castle first to meet Dong pan.

After the foundry moved from Taohua stronghold to Juquan ridge, the Taohua stronghold was transferred to Meiwu castle; In this way, when the reinforcements from Hexi arrive, there will be a place to stay outside Yanjing city. There is no need to make other arrangements from the Taiwei mansion.

Ran Hu, Zhou Jun, cen Yunfei and others, as guest generals, were quickly marginalized in the Xiyuan army. At this time, they all resigned their generals one after another and returned to Meiwu castle with a fairly expensive reward until the reinforcements from Hexi came.

Seeing Chen Hai coming, everyone was very happy. At night, they pulled Chen Hai, Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang down for a drink.

Although they all received a lot of rewards, ran Hu and Cen Yunfei complained about the marginalization of their position in the Xiyuan army in the later stage.

At night, taking advantage of the wine, ran Hu advised Chen Haidao on the wine table: "you should resolutely resign your position. Marquis Dong leads reinforcements from Hexi to come here. With your talent, we will have an important task. At that time, we will all come to your account and listen to your orders -- it's a pleasure to be able to let go of every war."

In addition to Chen Hai and Dong Ning, ran Hu and Du Yong were the two most outstanding children of heaven in Hexi who were selected by the last school palace. He looked rude and looked as big and thick as Chen Hai. In the past two years, he was earlier than Chen Hai and Dong Ning in the army, successfully opened up the ancestral knowledge of the sea and stepped into the Ming knowledge.

Ran Hu admired Chen Hai's ability to run the army and use the army. He didn't feel that he had stepped into the state of Mingqiao. He should be superior. He was still willing to be a general in front of Chen Hai's account.

The Xiyuan army was established less than two years ago and experienced limited wars, but the two most enjoyable wars were commanded by Chen Hai.

Although Chen Hai handed in the military training record in his later period, and the Xiyuan army combined the military training record with the code of conduct issued by the Taiwei house to train troops and horses, ran Hu didn't think that others could learn the essence of Chen Hai's military management, which was somewhat out of shape.

To say who can learn the essence of Chen Haizhi's army, Le Yi, a traitor of the red eyebrow sect who has been lurking in Hexi for more than ten years, may be one. Ran Hu feels that he has not learned enough with Zhou Jun and Cen Yunfei.

"Dong Hou?" there were nearly 20 Dong marquees. Chen Hai didn't understand which general of the Dong family ran Hu said.

"My father will lead reinforcements from Hexi to suppress the rebels," Dong Ning explained.

"Oh..." Chen Hai answered, and he realized that it was the Qin Mu Hou Dong Gang who personally led Hexi troops to reinforce Gyeonggi.

Of course, Dong pan didn't need to write a letter to tell Chen Hai about these things. At this time, he explained to them who were the generals of the Hexi reinforcements this time.

In addition to Duke mu of Qin and Duke Dong, Du Junfeng, the manager of the racecourse who was transferred by the prince from Yanjing, will also come back. This is not aimed at Chen Hai. After all, when Hexi reinforcements reinforce Gyeonggi, it is still necessary to appoint generals who are familiar with Gyeonggi as much as possible. In addition to Dong pan, there is really no more suitable candidate among many generals in Hexi than Du Junfeng.

"The ninth master specially used the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion as the deputy general this time..." Dong Pan said happily to Chen Hai.

"Ah, uncle, he's also coming to Yanjing again this time." Chen Hai was very happy to think of seeing his uncle again two years later.

Chen Hai was worried that Wen Boyuan would clamp him down. His Uncle Chen lie could come personally. I believe Wen Boyuan would not force him too quickly.

However, although Chen Hai had no direct contact with Dong Shou, the Marquis of Qin Mu, he had no good impression.

Hexi set up Yulong camp with Qin muhou as the commander -- in the war of annexing Yulong County in Hexi, Chen Hai led Kou slaves to raid Chishan city and made great achievements, but the achievements were reported to the camp, but there was no additional merit reward.

In particular, on the third day Chen Hai led Kou's slaves to seize Chishan City, Qin Mu Hou Dong Shoudu personally led his troops and horses into Chishan city to summon the surrendered clan representatives, but did not summon Chen Hai. They said a few encouraging words -- Chen Hai didn't know that this was because of his marriage contract with Dong Ning, which had long been abolished, but he was extremely dissatisfied with Qi Hanjiang and Ge, Just not qualified to show it.

Therefore, this time, Chen Hai was only happy to meet his Uncle Chen lie again. He had no feelings for Dong Ning's father and Qin Mu Hou Dong Shou. He drank happily with Dong pan and Wu Xiong, and did not mention that he was willing to be a general in front of Dong Shou's account.

Hexi reinforcements are already on the way, but Chen Haigang knows the news and calculates the schedule. He can cross qintongguan and enter the foot of Beijing in three or five days.

Chen Hai thought it would be more appropriate to meet his Uncle Chen lie first and then see Wen Boyuan. Anyway, he didn't make an appointment with Wen Boyuan. If he really wanted to meet, he had to hand over famous posts. At this time, he simply didn't enter the capital of Yan. For the time being, he took Su Ling, Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang to live in Meiwu castle.

Five days later, 20000 horsemen in the west of the River entered the foot of Beijing from qintongguan and settled down in Meiwu fort; Then he accepted the unified coordination of Taiwei mansion, and then went down the Chu River from Meiwu fort to Heyang County to participate in the war against the refugee army.

Meiwu castle was only a post house at first. Even if more than a thousand people settled in it were crowded, but after two years of expansion, especially after merging the peach blossom dock in the north, many temporary barracks were built between Meiwu castle and peach blossom dock. At this time, it was barely enough to settle 20000 horsemen.

Although the most elite combat force in Hexi is the Dao yamen soldiers directly under the general's office, there are only more than 40000 Dao yamen soldiers. They also have to guard against the foreign lands of Jinzhou qiangrong and Northern demon barbarians. They can't be lighter than Hexi. 20000 cavalry soldiers are mainly elite drawn from Yulong camp, as well as the elite episodes of Zhaoyang tinghou house and Du family.

In addition to Chen lie as the deputy commander of the reinforcements, Su Yuan, sun Gan, Chen Zhang and other generals and 500 squires were also included in the reinforcements.
