Chapter 110: He dares, let's see if our family doesn't tear his mouth apart
On June 25, the twelfth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, at the middle of the chen hour, in front of the Dushikou Fort City Mansion.
"Eunuch Li, this is the newly built carriage under the command of the last general. They are all made of fine wood. Both sides and back are thickened. I brought these two carriages today. How about you give me a test drive?"
Zhang Cheng politely introduced the sedan cars he brought to Li Guofu. These were the two cars newly equipped by the Guard Bureau Ding. He wanted to continue to pretend that his injury was not healed, but he could not ride a horse.
"That's fine. We see that this car is quite spacious inside, so we'll ride in the same car with Admiral Zhang, so we can ask more about the new army's drills." Li Guofu didn't shirk when he arrived, but he didn't want to ride in the car alone.
.
Zhang Cheng couldn't refuse, so he had to order: "Follow another empty car. Be careful and escort Eunuch Li to Beixiaochang."
The two young eunuchs who were accompanying him came over and helped Li Guofu get into the carriage. Zhang Cheng waited for Li Guofu to finish the job and then said softly: "Father, although all the bandits on the North Road have been wiped out, there are still some fish that may have slipped through the net."
Make waves,
Although the twenty warriors brought by Eunuch Guan are all strong and strong, they are still afraid that they are not familiar with the situation on our north road. For the sake of Eunuch Li's safety, we still need to strengthen the security force.
Each carriage under Zhang Cheng's command is equipped with a guard of twelve people. They are all loyal and elite men who came to Beijing to serve the king. Together with the newly built sedan just now, they are sent under the command of the father-in-law for Li.
My father-in-law encouraged me.”
Li Guofu sat across from Zhang Cheng. Seeing that what he said was sincere, he also knew that this was indeed the truth about the North Road. Even a brave general like Zhang Cheng who had experienced many battles on the battlefield was almost intercepted and killed, so he really had to pay attention to safety issues.
At this time, he followed Zhang Cheng's words and said: "Admiral Zhang is interested. Our family is only half a person. There is no danger. It's just that if we can't take care of His Majesty, we will not be able to do the things entrusted by His Majesty."
I did it well, but it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable."
"My father-in-law is loyal and righteous, which is rare in the world. Zhang Cheng will do his best to recruit brave men and train the army, manage the North Road well, and devote himself to sharing your majesty's worries."
After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to open the small window on the side panel, raised the curtain and said to the outside: "Li Dayanzhu, from today on, your team will be by Eunuch Li's side, and you will only obey the orders of Eunuch Li in everything."
"Here!"
Li Dayan, who was outside the car, stood on his horse and agreed loudly and simply.
Since Zhang Cheng established the new establishment of infantry camps, cavalry camps, and vehicle camps, he has successively formulated some military regulations and military orders. Now when receiving orders in the army, they say "here" instead of "yes".
Zhang Cheng lowered the curtains but did not close the window panels again. When he turned around, he heard Li Guofu ask: "This man's eyes are not big at all. Why does Admiral Zhang call them big eyes?"
"Ha ha……"
Zhang Cheng smiled and said to Li Guofu: "This man was originally the officer of the Rear Sentinel A and B Team of the Cavalry Thousand Headquarters of the Xuanfu Zhenbiao Right Wing Battalion. Because his name is Li Damu, the brothers in the army usually jokingly call him Li Dam."
Eyeballs.
Now, he is already the officer of the first team of my escort division Ding Bureau. From now on, I will ask him to stay by my father-in-law’s side, and he will definitely protect my father-in-law."
Dozens of armored soldiers on horseback escorted the three carriages as they advanced slowly. They exited the Changning Gate on the west side of Dushikou Fort, turned north, and headed for the North Campus.
"So that Eunuch Li will know that Zhang Cheng has recruited more than 2,000 new brave men on the North Road. Together with the more than 1,000 people he has recruited in the town, as well as the former general's troops, there are now more than 4,000
Everyone is training intensively."
Zhang Cheng was chatting with Li Guofu all the way in the carriage. He kept introducing the situation at Dushikou to Li Guofu, but Li Guofu interrupted Zhang Cheng: "Let me tell you, Admiral Zhang, the emperor did not issue an edict for you to participate in
The admiral will supervise all the troops on the North Road.
In this case, we should not limit ourselves to the Shangbei Road, or even to the North Road. Before our family left Beijing, the director Wang Gonggong also specially told us that since the North Road has a shortage of soldiers, we will recruit soldiers tomorrow.
The big flag was sent to various castles along the east road."
Speaking of this, Li Guofu seemed to be energetic. His high-pitched voice was slightly raised and he continued: "We didn't come to the North Road to set up a roadblock for you Zhang Cheng. We were ordered by the emperor to help you practice your new skills."
military.
Therefore, there is no need to delay the training of the new army. If you do a good job here, our family can return to the capital to report to the emperor. If the army is delayed for a long time, how can our family have the face to meet the emperor?
ah!"
Zhang Cheng was lying on his side on the soft top in the car, pretending to be sick. At this time, he struggled to get up, but was stopped by Li Guofu, saying: "The wound from your arrow has not healed for a long time, and it is not good for recruiting soldiers. What can you say?"
Just lie down and talk."
Zhang Cheng did not struggle to get up, but lay on his side and replied: "The last general is a warrior. He only knows how to serve the Holy Lord. Please be kind to Eunuch Li.
Zhang Cheng has now integrated the garrison forces at Dushikou and Chicheng Castle, and first incorporated them into the new army to train together to make up for the shortage of new army personnel. After the new army is completed, military households from various places will be recruited to supplement the two garrison forces.
number.
Starting tomorrow, the general will send people to various forts on the East Road to put up banners for recruiting troops, but I am afraid that Mr. Zhang, the deputy commander in chief in Yongning, will have some objections."
Zhang Cheng's voice became softer as he spoke, but Li Guofu across from him could hear it clearly. He was leaning on the pillow, but at this moment he almost jumped up and cursed loudly in a high-pitched voice: "Humph, he dares,
Let’s see if we don’t tear his mouth apart!”
…………
The large campus three miles north of Dushikou Fort was originally used by the Kaiping Guards' garrison. Since Zhang Cheng's last military parade here, this large campus was occupied.
The martial arts hall in the south of the fort was converted by Zhang Cheng into a cavalry battalion garrison, while the large campus in the north of the fort was used as a garrison and training ground for his infantry battalions.
There are not many troops stationed in Kaiping Guard. Except for the servants of Jin Xinpeng, Yan Qingrong and others, almost all the rest are just a bunch of people who have no fighting power at all.
After the previous military parade, Zhang Cheng ordered Jin Xinpeng, Wu Zhizhong and others to remove these people from the garrison roster in the name of rechecking the military.
As for the servants of each general, Zhang Cheng also gave two choices. One was to stay, but they would no longer enjoy the original benefits, but they would be guaranteed half pay, and if they performed well, they could be promoted and appointed.
Secondly, giving the victim one tael of silver and leaving him to fend for himself would not be in vain for the contribution they made to guarding the North Road and the Monolith as servants of the generals.
Now there are two infantry troops from the Qian headquarters in the North Campus. The A and B troops of the Dushi Infantry Battalion are stationed here. The camp general is Chen Zheng, the Qian commander of the A troops is Cui Shijie, and the Qian commander of the B troops is Jin Yong.
The carriage has entered less than a mile south of the North Campus Ground. From here, you can see a row of horse-proof stakes erected in front of the school ground, especially two rows of horse-proof stakes erected in front of the camp gate.
