Unexpectedly, Mrs. Dingyuanbo understood the righteousness so well. Wang Daan's eyes were a little red. Now, Jizhou is in chaos, and Dingyuanbo's territory is the first to bear the brunt.
At this time, it was really hard to say what he wanted to do to transfer her private soldiers away. However, it was difficult for the Holy Order to be fulfilled, so he had to bite the bullet and come here.
After receiving the imperial edict, Xiao Niangpi directly summoned Huang Hao, the director of the transportation department. As soon as Huang Hao got up, he was urgently called to the festival hall by the messenger, and he was wondering what happened.
As soon as he entered the festival hall, he saw his wife in a formal dress, standing in the middle with the second wife, and beside them there was a eunuch and some people from the royal guards.
Although Xinghe Tuanlian withdrew from Jinyiwei's organization, they all lost the military household registration of Jinyiwei.
Their official positions and seals are still there. It's just that people have been transferred out of the organization. This is also the brilliance of Chongzhen, he will not completely trust anyone.
In the future, if Luo Yangxing refuses to obey and has bad thoughts, he will use Yang Fan's people to check and balance him. He can get these people back at any time.
This is also an encouragement to Luo to cultivate his nature. If he doesn’t work hard, he will still have a spare tire waiting for him.
"Huang Hao has met Madam. I have met the envoy and all your lords." Huang Hao's rank in Jinyiwei is not high, he is just the general bannerman.
However, the time they spent in the palace gave them some insights. Looking at the clothes, they knew that this person was the eunuch in charge of rituals.
The youngest of the Jinyiwei people are the general banner, the rest are trial hundred households, and there are several deputy thousand households.
He is very familiar with Jin Yiwei's clothing and grade.
"Huang Hao, I have called you here because I have a mission for you." Xiao Niangpi said seriously: "Ji Town is in turmoil and the rebel forces are strong. The current situation is urgent. Your Majesty has issued an edict to mobilize the Xinghe Regiment to train in Beijing to assist in the defense. I have considered you
When I stayed in the Wei Palace, I served as the general banner, responsible for the security of Qianqing Palace, and became familiar with His Majesty. This time I am going to let you be the leader and lead the troops to King Qin of Beijing. Is there any problem." Huang Hao immediately stood at attention and said loudly: "No problem
"Yang Fan has always emphasized that it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders.
Regardless of whether the order is right or wrong, as long as there is no problem with the program, it must be executed unconditionally. If the order is wrong or there are other problems, the relevant personnel will be held responsible afterwards.
Therefore, he accepted the order very simply. During this period, Lvdan was originally leading the regiment training. However, Lvdan was not familiar with the palace and had little contact with His Majesty, so he was not as suitable as Huang Hao, who was the chief guard of the Qianqing Palace.
"Okay, the work of the Transportation Department will be temporarily presided over by the deputy director. You immediately go to the school field to gather with the military talisman to mobilize the Xinghe regiment. I will have someone prepare the tiger talisman for you and hand it to Huang Hao. Huang Hao stood at attention and saluted.
, quickly walked out of the festival hall without any delay. Half an hour later, on the Xincheng campus, 3,600 cavalry were ready to go. Wang Daan and the Jinyi guards were all shocked by the efficiency of this troop's assembly. In two quarters of an hour,
They were all stunned. Soldiers in this era could not prepare for a day or two to prepare for war. It is considered good for Ming Dynasty to be able to leave within the same day.
Unless they were soldiers going on an expedition, it was only possible to assemble the three-way drums in the military camp. In half an hour, not only the soldiers and horses were fully loaded, but also the auxiliary troops of a regiment were assembled. The four-wheeled carriages and supplies were also assembled.
It's all ready. In order to protect the new city from the rebels, the cavalry teaching regiment and the Xinghe regiment are stationed in the new city, and the supplies are prepared in advance. Just pull them out from the warehouse. At this time, Xiao Niangpi and others are facing the sand table in the festival hall.
, studying the marching route.
"Now, the route from Chaobai River has been blocked. There are more than 20,000 rebels there, and there are many stragglers looting the countryside. Jizhou has fallen, and water transportation has stopped, making it impossible to get through." Huang Hao said.
Xiao Niangpi touched her chin and said thoughtfully: "Let's take the overland route from the south. You are all cavalry and are fast. It doesn't matter if you take a detour. We can go in an arc from the south and bypass the Tongzhou battlefield." Donkey pointed at the sand table.
Said: "Madam, if you go south, you can only go to Miao County. At present, I heard that Wang Jiayin led 2,000 people to block the block there. I heard that there were 8,000 rebels in the Xianghe area. I don't know if there was a fight. Maybe.
Crash into them." There are now large-scale rioters in the east of the capital, almost blocking all traffic.
Neither the waterway nor the land route was accessible. When Wang Daan and others came, they came at night. There were only a few dozen people with a small target. They came through the wilderness and did not dare to take the official road, and they were in danger several times.
With such a large movement of the army, it was difficult not to run into the rebels. For a moment, everyone hesitated. Huang Hao said: "Madam, the rebels in the Xianghe area are divided into several large groups. If we encounter them, we can just fight them.
Even if 8,000 people gather together, they are no match for us." Seeing Huang Hao's confidence, Xiao Niangpi agreed.
After all, she didn't know much about the combat effectiveness of the army. The people who really understood it had to be the people in the army.
"Okay then, let's leave from Miao County." Xiao Niangpi nodded.
"Eunuch Wang, I should have led the team myself, but now I am really incapable of riding a horse or carrying a gun. I really have failed the divine grace. Let General Huang lead the team." Wang Daan said quickly: "
It's already a great help that Madam can prepare all the troops, horses, food and grass so quickly. Madam can rest at home and recuperate, General Huang is enough." Wang Da'an was very anxious and didn't know what was going on in Tongzhou.
He immediately set off with his brigade. He led the cavalry first. The baggage regiment was composed of militia infantry recruited temporarily, driving the carriage behind.
Not far after setting off, Wang Daan discovered that their horses were weak and could not keep up with the group. Huang Hao quickly replaced them with Arabian horses.
Wang Daan and the Jinyiwei people happily rode on the tall horses of Xinghe Tuanlian. They had long been envious of these good horses. These horses were more than a foot taller than their horses at the shoulders.
Their limbs are more slender. When running, they can support their horses for one and a half steps. Moreover, they are all in a formation of one person and three horses.
One horse is for riding, one is empty, and the other is loaded with weapons, equipment, baggage, etc. It is 150 miles from Xincheng to Miao County, and more than fifty miles from Miao County to Yongding Gate.
After the army set off, it quickly switched to a trot and began to march at a faster pace. Because these Arabian horses had long legs, the trot could almost catch up with the Mongolian horses.
We set off at around 7 a.m. and arrived outside the city of Miao County at around 4 p.m. The journey went smoothly without encountering any large groups of rebels.
Some small groups of rebels fled away from such a large cavalry group. Huang Hao was eager to rush to the capital and ignored them.
Watching them leave in a hurry carrying the looted property, Tuan Lian rushed to the outside of Miao County and immediately stood on the high slope to observe the situation ahead.
This is the front line of the confrontation with Xianghe. Huang Hao saw that densely packed rebels were attacking the county seat of Miao County.
It seems that the rebels from Xianghe have already attacked. Originally, intelligence showed that there were more than 8,000 of them, but now it seems that they are obviously more than 10,000.
It seems that other rebels have joined them. They took over Xianghe County and got a sweet deal, and now they are heading towards Miao County.
