The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

After figuring out all the key points, Chen Wang then sent someone to pass the news that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were preparing to invade Xing'an to Yang Sichang.

After Yang Sichang received the news, he crossed the Han River and headed northward in the early morning of the next day, arriving at the Xiangbei Camp.

October [-]st, the third quarter of the lunar month.

The rapid drum gathering of troops sounded from all over the Xiangbei camp, and Yang Sichang, as the prime minister of the six provinces, paraded at the school ground.

Also accompanying him were Lieutenant Governor Liu Yuanbin and Huguang Governor Fang Kongzhen.

At this time, the Xiangbei camp gathered in various towns, with more than [-] soldiers.

Standing on the high platform, you can see the crimson sea waves rising and falling one after another, as powerful as waves.

Yang Sichang took the stage and issued a high order, vowing to the three armies and applying for military law three times.

As early as the beginning of the year, Yang Sichang wrote a memorial requesting for additional training rates, and received Chongzhen's permission.

The additional training salary has been collected in June.

The purpose of Yang Sichang's request for additional training salary was not to take advantage of the opportunity.

At that time, the reason why Yang Sichang went to Shu was to make it smoother for the governor to go south.

Now the effects of these additional training rates are showing.

The morale of the soldiers on the school field was high precisely because Yang Sichang did not come empty-handed, but came with three months' pay for [-] soldiers and horses.

More than [-] taels of silver were distributed, and nearly three months' salary was obtained. The morale of the soldiers was naturally high, and everyone's face was beaming with joy.

The plan for the invasion was also finalized at the military meeting after the oath of war.

Yang Sichang had already made plans in his mind. Even before going south, he had already mobilized soldiers and horses from Shaanxi, Sichuan, Huguang, and Henan to gather around Yunxiang.

The soldiers and horses of the four provinces were commanded by the governors of the four provinces, and they were stationed in all directions, and the nets were set up to wait.

The remaining soldiers and horses of the town were divided into two parts.

The first part was personally led by Yang Sichang, with the two towns of Zuo Liangyu and Zu Dabi as the main force, supplemented by other troops and horses, and attacked from Xiangyang from east to west.

The second part was led by Chen Wang, who, together with Cao Bianjiao and Li Guoqi, passed through Xunxian County, Baihe, and took the north road to Hanzhong Prefecture to defend Hanzhong and wait for opportunities to advance from west to east.

The deployment of the southern war situation did not change much from the original history.

It turned out that Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, led He Renlong and Li Guoqi to guard Hanzhong. At Chen Wang's suggestion, it was Chen Wang who led the troops to guard Hanzhong.

Zheng Chongjian led He Renlong and Li Guoqi to station in the north of Yunyang to prevent the rogue bandits from escaping northward into Henan.

The defense and deployment positions of the remaining governors and camps and towns have not changed much.

As in history, Yang Sichang issued an order to Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, and ordered [-] Sichuan soldiers to enter Hanzhong Mansion.

This part of the Sichuan soldiers who were dispatched to Hanzhong Mansion were naturally within Chen Wang's control.

Chen Wang ordered his troops to get ready early in the morning, so after receiving Yang Sichang's military order and resigning to Yang Sichang, he ordered to break camp and march westward.

On the official road in the north of Xiangyang Dayingying, Yang Sichang led a group of civil and military personnel to personally conduct a farewell ceremony for Chen Wang.

Yang Sichang wore a pointed iron helmet, a python robe and a bright armor, and a bright belt. He stood beside the official road holding the sword on his waist. A group of civil and military officials stood on both sides of Yang Sichang.

Hundreds of armored soldiers from the Beijing camp were all wearing robes and belts and standing upright with swords in hand.

The capital camp of the Ming Dynasty had been corrupted for a long time. Soon after Chongzhen ascended the throne, he naturally became aware of the corruption of the capital camp and wanted to change the situation.

Therefore, Chongzhen repeatedly reorganized the Beijing camp. He not only trained new soldiers, but also selected generals and sent the Beijing camp out of the capital to conquer rogue bandits and help defend the nine borders, in order to equip the Beijing camp with combat effectiveness.

But Jingying was in complete rot from the roots down, and no matter how much rectification it was, it would never be able to return to the early Ming Dynasty.

After several rectifications and a large amount of money spent, only a few soldiers capable of going into battle were trained, that is, the Yongwei camp.

Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong, who are now under the control of Lu Jiude in Henan, lead the Yongwei Battalion under the Jingying system. They are also generals recently promoted by Chongzhen.

Under the leadership of Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong, the Yongwei camp was not defeated in the battle with Hou Jin, and then went south to defeat the rogue bandits. It can be said that it is worthy of the title of Yongwei, and its record in subsequent battles has been equally impressive.

The guards who accompanied Yang Sichang south were all elites selected by Chongzhen from the Yongwei camp, and they were naturally of extraordinary appearance.

Yang Sichang looked majestic in military uniform even though he had never been on the battlefield.

The news of Yang Sichang's farewell party was quite loud, and someone specially reminded him, so Chen Wang naturally knew about it.

Chen Wang led the troops out of the camp on horseback. When they were twenty steps away, he dismounted first and then walked all the way to Yang Sichang.

"The last general, thanks to the trust of the cabinet minister and the seal of General Pingtai, has condescended to come here today to pay farewell to the last general."

Chen Wang made an excited look on his face, bowed and saluted in an impassioned manner.

"When we go to Hanzhong, we will intercept the rogue bandit Xiaoxiao and go outside Fuzhou. We will sacrifice you two thieves, Zhixian and you, under the tent of the cabinet!"

Yang Sichang took a step forward, stretched out his hands to help Chen Wang, and said warmly.

"General Chen serves the country with his heart, and Hanzhong will have no worries."

Yang Sichang looked at Chen Wang and couldn't help but feel good feelings in his heart.

Chen Wang speaks in a gentle manner and has an extraordinary conversation. He is not a vulgar martial artist who cannot read or write, but is both civil and military.

The reason why they are powerful in fighting is not only due to their own bravery, but also due to their good training of troops.

The method of training soldiers seems to be a method found after reading two military books written by Qi Shaobao.

Yang Sichang sighed softly and said sincerely.

"Shortly after King Qin finished his work, he sent the towns south to suppress the campaign without taking a long rest. He traveled thousands of miles and was exhausted all the way. All the sages are aware of the hardships involved."

"However, the bandits will not stop and the world will never be quiet. This is the only way we can do it. I hope General Chen will forgive me."

"The Ministry of Cabinet's words are serious."

Chen Wang clasped his hands into fists and sighed.

"When slaves and bandits invade the border, we, the generals, all have the duty to serve the king. Putting down the rebellion is also the duty that we, the military ministers, should fulfill."

Yang Sichang raised his hand and stroked his beard. Looking at Chen Wang with a determined expression, he couldn't help but feel even more pleased.

This time, King Qin had many camps and towns in the north, but only the Qin army had the most outstanding military exploits.

Among the Qin army, the one who fought the most bravely and won the most achievements was undoubtedly Hanzhong Town.

King Qin has always been loyal to state affairs and has no regrets.

The soldiers under his command have gone through many battles and suffered more than half of their casualties, but they have no intention of preserving their strength like Liao Zhen did.

On the Tongbao of the great victory of Qingshan Pass, the battle of Gongshutai is the one that takes up most of the text.

In the Battle of Gongshutai, Chen Wang's servants suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Such generals are not loyal ministers, so what kind of generals are loyal ministers?

"The Holy Master came to the platform and learned that General Chen had joined the army when he was young and fought for the country. As a result, he has not yet been married. Therefore, he specifically asked me to choose a good match for General Chen when I go south to supervise the division."

Yang Sichang held Chen Wang's hand with both hands and said with a smile.

"The Holy One has entrusted this matter to me, so I naturally have to do my best, but I don't know what kind of woman General Chen likes, so I haven't taken any action yet."

Chen Wang's eyes moved slightly, and then quickly fell silent.

Two months ago, Zu Dabi told him something.

According to news coming from Liaodong, the imperial court seemed to want to take his family members to the capital.

But of course it didn't succeed in the end. It was Zu Dashou who found an excuse to let the matter go for the time being.

Now Yang Sichang is talking about his marriage again, probably more to control him in the future.

Although his parents' families are all in Liaodong, Liaodong has been out of control for a long time and is actually about to form a separatist regime.Chongzhen has always been extremely concerned about Liaodong's problems and wanted to change the situation in Liaodong.

"It's really inappropriate for the emperor and the ministers to worry about the general over trivial matters such as children."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Wang calmed down his mood and answered sincerely.

"My father died in the battle when I was a young general. It was my mother who raised my younger brother and me."

"When it comes to marriage, I only hope that the woman can be filial to her parents and handle housework. I don't want anything else."

This was naturally not what Chen Wang really thought in his heart, but since Yang Sichang had said this, this answer was undoubtedly the best.

Chen Wang is now 29 years old and will be [-] next year.

Not getting married at this age is considered extremely late in this era.

In the Hanzhong Army, many soldiers are already married.

After being stationed in Hanzhong Mansion for a long time, Chen Wang had never been short of military pay. Naturally, most of the soldiers were rich.

Hanzhong Prefecture was hit by another disaster at that time, and refugees were everywhere. During the period when the garrison was being built and stationed, many soldiers took the time to get married.

Hu Zhili and Hu Zhiyi were also married. They were already married when they were in Liaodong. Their wives were in Liaodong at the beginning, but later they found time to take over.

When Hu Zhiyi brought a group of children of the Chen and Hu families into Hanzhong, he also brought some of the women and children of the Chen and Hu families over and placed them in the two guardhouses built earlier.

"General Mo's mother is now nearly fifty. She worked too hard to raise our two brothers, and she has been in poor health."

"Since July of the third year of Chongzhen, the last general left Liaodong. I haven't seen him for nearly ten years, and I don't know..."

Chen Wang lowered his head. At the end of the sentence, he was indeed choked up.

That was the emotion hidden in the deepest part of his body. He received all the memories of the original owner and naturally remembered things from his childhood clearly.

He has not returned home for ten years, and has never seen his mother who raised him alone.

In ten years, many things have changed.

The original history, if Chen Wang had not come, if it had not changed.

The two brothers of the original owner, as well as a group of descendants of the Chen and Hu clans, would most likely die in the battle with Cao Wenzhao outside Qiutou Town.

Their family members far away in Liaodong may not even receive a pension in the end.

For the rest of my life, I will never be able to return to my homeland of Guangning...

"General Chen..."

Yang Sichang held Chen Wang's hand, and he could feel that Chen Wang was truly sincere, without any pretense.

It's a pity that Chen Wang is now the commander-in-chief of a town, and he has been awarded the title of General Pingthief. He controls the towns and has great authority.

No matter what, it was impossible to bring his mother to Hanzhong Mansion.

"General Chen is fighting for the country, and the court will not treat him lightly. Please rest assured."

Yang Sichang sighed softly. Originally, he wanted to find a noble family and arrange a marriage for Chen Wang.

But at the moment, Yang Sichang was somewhat moved by Chen Wang.

He is loyal to the country and filial, knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to please, and is handsome and tall.

Although he was a military attaché and lost a lot of points in this category, Chen Wang is still young and brave now.

If the rogues in the south and the slaves in the north could be exterminated, it would be possible to make the prince a marquis.

By then, with such merits and noble status, Chen Wang could be considered a high-ranking member.

Yang Sichang was already planning to look for some of his old friends to see if there were any women of marriageable age, and to choose a good match for Chen Wang who was well-educated, sensible, and good-looking.

Chen Wang was good at fighting and took advantage of this relationship to win over him.

If Chen Wang can destroy Kou Pingnu in the future, he will naturally rise to the top and be promoted to first assistant!

Looking at Chen Wang again, Yang Sichang's eyes were even more filled with appreciation.

Yang Sichang did not continue on the topic of marriage, but changed the topic.

"The defense of Hanzhong is of great importance. It took three years of efforts to trap the bandits in Yunxiang. If the bandits return to Shaanxi again, all efforts will be in vain. Such a price must not be borne."

Yang Sichang patted Chen Wang gently and told him.

"Your troops have suffered a lot of losses. When you go to Hanzhong this time, you only need to defend Hanzhong and don't let the bandits escape and enter."

"The rogue bandits are now trapped in the land of Yunxiang. Soldiers from the four provinces have gathered here, and they can't cause much trouble."

Since Yang Sichang spoke like this, Chen Wang naturally borrowed the donkey from Poxia and assured him immediately.

"The general will obey the military orders of the Cabinet and he will definitely defend Hanzhong and not ruin the plans of the Cabinet."

Chen Wang obeyed the order without hesitation, which made Yang Sichang feel more favorable in his heart.

Yang Sichang smiled broadly and waved slightly to the side, and soon someone came up with two glasses of wine on a tray.

Yang Sichang raised one of the glasses of wine, and then handed the other glass to Chen Wang, speaking energetically.

"The wine is simple, so please don't be dissatisfied. When the bandits are pacified, I will personally host a banquet for General Chen and drink all the best wine in the world as a congratulation."

Chen Wang took the wine from Yang Sichang with both hands.

"The gift given by the Cabinet is already worth thousands of gold."

After Chen Wang finished speaking the last sentence, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then said in a deep voice.

"The last general will not let down the great trust of the cabinet department."

Chen Wang finished his drink, mounted his horse again, and finally said goodbye to Yang Sichang.

The official road winds all the way to the west, with flags like fire on every side, and countless soldiers march forward with their heads held high.

Chen Wang rode his horse all the way, and with every step he took, he felt that the constraints on his body were getting lighter.

After walking a hundred steps, I felt as light as a swallow and no longer restrained.

The autumn wind was biting, and Chen Wang looked back behind him.

On the official road behind him, Yang Sichang was still standing on it, still watching him.

"Congratulations on all the fine wines from the world..."

If it were such a favor, any other person would probably be filled with tears and be filled with gratitude.

But unfortunately, he is Chen Wang.

Although the wine is good, the country is even more beautiful.

Chen Wang did not want to give up this great country to anyone.

He will never allow the events of Shenzhou Luchen and Qiu Xu to happen again.

Chen Wang did not stop his horse. He turned his head, looked forward, and walked unswervingly forward.

……

Singing loudly in sorrow, Liang's father's chants are like gold and jade.

In the tenth year Gou Jian was defeated by Wu Ji, and in the seventh day Bao Xu wept for Chu's heart.

Autumn sends the new king to mourn and destroy the country, and hungry tigers roam the empty forest during the day.

I have an oath in my heart that is deeper than the sea, are you willing to make China sink to the ground?
The Hanzhong chapter has begun! ! !
