Chapter 719 This is the Invincible Iron Cavalry that Master Zhao mentioned
"stand up!"
Jiang Qingzhi called Zhu Shitai up and said, "Tell me."
Zhu Shitai described the battle in detail, including his own psychological activities.
"When I was in the most panic, my hands and feet were weak and I could barely hold the spear. Fortunately, two old soldiers helped me..."
"Yeah!" Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "Everyone comes here this way."
"Then I thought of what my second uncle said: the more you fear death, the faster you die! So I forgot to be afraid..."
Jiang Qingzhi listened quietly and said with satisfaction: "If your parents knew what you look like now, they would definitely be delighted."
"My father will be happy, but my mother will probably fight him to the death." Zhu Shitai smiled bitterly.
"Why?"
"I'd like my dad to take me back, but he definitely won't agree."
Jiang Qingzhi smiled and ordered, "Remember, when dealing with the brothers in the army, don't use your dandy ways."
"Then how should we deal with it?" Zhu Shitai's trust in his second uncle was almost deeply rooted at this moment, even greater than that in his parents.
"vulgar!"
Zhu Shitai returned to his own small flag.
This was not the Beijing Guards. A small banner unit was only given one room, with nothing else in it except two rows of bunk beds.
It's so simple that it's speechless.
Wang Kaoshan was the loudest. "To be honest, before this battle, I was worried that Xiaoqi's legs would become weak and he might even poop and pee. Who would have thought that...
At first, I stared at Xiaoqi and saw that he was really flustered and stiff. I thought that this man probably wouldn't live long, so I would save him and then scold him to vent my anger. I didn't expect it! This man... Damn, he killed people without blinking an eye, he is really amazing. "
Everyone was talking about the battle excitedly, and when they saw Zhu Shitai coming in, they all stood up.
"Little Flag!"
Wang Kaoshan cupped his hands and said, "To be honest, in the past, the villain looked down on Xiaoqi."
Zhu Shitai didn't say anything, he knew that he still had the air of a young master in the past, so it was normal for him to be looked down upon by these fierce men.
"Today I know I was wrong." Wang Kaoshan scratched his head. "When we return to the capital, I will treat you to a drink. But we can't afford to go to such a nice place, so don't despise me!"
Zhu Shitai cursed: "As long as there is wine and meat, even if it is dog intestines, pig heart and lungs, and strong liquor mixed with water... as long as you can eat enough and get drunk, then it is good meat and good wine!"
"Xiaoqi is so refreshing!"
"Get out!" Zhu Shitai kicked Wang Kaoshan lightly, and Wang Kaoshan pretended to stagger backward.
The old soldier Tian Fang saw this and whispered, "This kick completely resolved all the previous grudges."
Zhang De nodded, "It turns out that he is the person entrusted by Lord Bo himself. It is worth it for the two of us to protect him."
……
Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua returned to their base.
As soon as he entered the study, Zhao Wenhua said dissatisfiedly: "Jiang Qingzhi used his adoptive father to attack me today. He is really not a good son!"
Yan Song sat down, and an attendant brought him some tea. He took a sip and said slowly, "Do you think I am too tolerant?"
"I dare not." Zhao Wenhua subconsciously touched his cheek, the pain from the last slap seemed to still be there.
Yan Song brought the teacup to his lips, but did not drink it. He just sniffed the tea fragrance, "First, the strength of the Beijing Guards' reconstruction has been demonstrated through this battle. Your Majesty will be moved!"
"Qin Yuan and An Jing did a good job in this battle!" Zhao Wenhua nodded. "Their subordinates made a great splash in this battle and slapped many people in the face."
There is a saying in the outside world that although the Beijing Guards seem to have been rebuilt, the only ones fighting may still be the Huben Zuowei that Jiang Qingzhi has led for a long time, and the others are just for show.
"This time, the Fujun Vanguard and Jinwu Right Guard made a great success, which shows the benefits of reconstruction." Yan Song narrowed his eyes, "Jiang Qingzhi took advantage of the situation to try his hand in Datong and captured a few generals. This is a test."
"He is testing the border troops' attitude towards reconstruction!" Zhao Wenhua understood. "Your Majesty will be delighted to know this. No wonder my foster father agrees."
"You are not stupid!" Yan Song secretly mocked his adopted son, "Secondly, why do you think Huang Mao was so kind to you from the beginning? He even drank with you for several days."
"This person wants to seek refuge with his adoptive father." Zhao Wenhua said with a smile.
"I just said you were not stupid, but in a flash you became so stupid that I couldn't even look at you." Yan Song sighed. He put down the teacup in a low voice, but Zhao Wenhua subconsciously stood up straight.
Don’t smoke!
"As soon as Huang Mao arrived in Datong and took office as the governor, he treated Zhang Da very badly and used some tricks on him, both openly and covertly." Yan Song said calmly, "Jiang Qingzhi is vindictive. When he came to Datong, Huang Mao panicked. Do you understand?"
Zhao Wenhua suddenly realized, "Huang Mao was worried that he would be dealt with by Jiang Qingzhi, so he hurriedly approached his adoptive father, hoping to use his adoptive father as a shield." He was furious, "What a Huang Mao!"
"Why do you think a provincial governor would easily want to change his allegiance?" Yan Song looked at his adopted son's face, and Zhao Wenhua quickly smiled and said, "Yes. I am stupid. Father, do you want to throw Huang Mao out?"
But when Zhao Wenhua thought of the good things Huang Mao gave him, he felt reluctant to part with this boy who gave away money.
"Why throw it out?" Yan Song shook his head. "Do you think that my forbearance today and even my support for Jiang Qingzhi were in vain?"
"Politics is all about exchange!" Yan Song said, "If others give us benefits, we have to exchange them for promotions or solving problems for them."
Zhao Wenhua nodded, feeling that his corruption, bribery, and selling of official positions were indeed right.
"How are the things Huang Mao sent?"
Yan Song's voice was very low, but Zhao Wenhua was shocked and knelt down, "Foster father, I was wrong."
"You forget yourself when others give you some benefits. If Huang Mao has a big problem, a big problem that I can't solve, do you know the consequences of this?" Yan Song said coldly: "If Huang Mao offends Zhang Da too much, Jiang Qingzhi will definitely not give up revenge. So, how do you think I should deal with it? Throw Huang Mao out, I will lose all my face. But if I protect this person, I will turn against Jiang Qingzhi.
Before the war, I, as the Prime Minister, turned against the general for a fool. Without mentioning how close your Majesty is to us, what do you think your Majesty would think when he heard the news?"
Zhao Wenhua lowered his head and said, "I feel...father..."
"Your Majesty will think that I am not considering the overall situation!"
Yan Song took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, but he couldn't suppress it. He waved at Zhao Wenhua and said, "Come here."
Zhao Wenhua came over on his knees, raised his head, and said with a bitter face, "Godfather, I have to go out and meet people later."
Yan Song raised his hand and said, "You don't care about your dignity anymore, and you are afraid to see people?"
Snapped!
……
An endless stream of cavalry marched forward in a mighty force, and along the way there were constant scouts or messengers heading towards the center of the army.
The people around Altan had to either handle the matter on their own or report it to him. Even if they were in a hurry, they had no time to rest.
"Great Khan, we are less than two hundred miles away from Datong."
Tuotuo rode over and said, "There are more scouts from the Ming army these past two days."
"Is there any news about Zhehetai and Shalei?" Aldan asked.
Tuotuo shook his head, "Not really."
"No news is good news!" Jinen laughed.
This made Altan stroke his beard and smile, "If the two armies can successfully enter the Ming capital area, Jiang Qingzhi will be in a dilemma. In this way, this battle will be easy."
Zhao Quan said: "The Khan is able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away. This is admirable."
Ji Neng glanced at Zhao Quan and sneered at this stray dog who relied on flattery to gain power. "What does Master Zhao think our army will do next?"
Zhao Quan sighed, "With the Khan here, how dare I show off my military prowess?"
He is indeed a shameless person!
Tuotuo smiled and said, "By the way, I met a few Ming people earlier. They said they were from the capital and were the messengers of some saint."
There was a gloomy look in Zhao Quan's eyes. "Where are those people?"
"Right in the back."
In the afternoon, the army set up camp and Zhao Quan was talking to a middle-aged man in the corner.
"The Saint said that if Altan wins, nine out of ten houses in the north will be empty. Although we are committed to overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, we cannot help the tyrant..."
Zhao Quan asked coldly: "Where is the Saint now?"
The man shook his head, "I don't know."
"Tell her that if she dies for the great cause of the Holy Religion, she will naturally go to the Pure Land after death. This is a blessing."
The man smiled bitterly, "The Saint said... if the leader doesn't agree, we will go our separate ways from now on."
Zhao Quan laughed and said contemptuously: "I recognize the so-called saint. I don't recognize her, but she is just a woman. Go back and tell her that she can either wait obediently for the army to attack her and cooperate with me in the uprising. Or I will find a new saint!"
"How can a saint just take over casually?" the man was furious.
Zhao Quan pulled out a section of his long sword and said grimly, "Does she think she is qualified to teach me? Get lost!"
The man took a step back and sneered, "The Saint is the messenger of Paradise. Master Zhao is so contemptuous of the Saint. Aren't you afraid of the punishment of the gods?"
Zhao Quan laughed, "The Khan is leading an army of 100,000 to the south. Even gods will bow down before that. Datong is trembling now. It won't be long before the capital will also tremble under the Khan's cavalry. Then the clouds will be swept away and Zhu Ming will vanish. And I will restore the light of the Holy Religion!"
"Master Zhao, please take care of yourself." The man slowly stepped back.
"Tell that woman to express her stance as soon as possible so as not to lose her position as the Saint. It will be too late to surrender after the army captures the capital! Hahahaha!"
Zhao Quan burst into laughter.
At this time, dozens of riders rushed into the camp. Zhao Quan recognized one of them as a general of Zhehetai, so he hurried over.
The saint's messenger felt a slight movement in his heart, and followed him.
"Sweat!"
Altan, who was discussing something with his men, turned around when he heard the voice. A guard came over quickly and said, "Khan, there is urgent military information."
"But is there any news?" Altan said with a smile, "Even if we succeed all the way, I will be five points more confident in this battle!"
There were two groups of messengers coming.
They all knelt down.
A fierce look flashed in Altan's eyes, and a messenger said, "Great Khan, Zhehatai Nayan ordered me to report... that he... deserves to be put to death."
Altan looked at the other messenger.
"Great Khan, our army... was repelled by the Ming army."
He failed on both fronts... Zhao Quan stopped in disbelief.
The voice of the Holy Maiden Messenger came from behind.
"Is this the invincible cavalry that Master Zhao mentioned?"
