I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 488 Arriving in Guangning
February [-]th, Gaizhou Wei.

Cao Bianjiao staggered off the boat, feeling as if he was drunk.

Until the moment he set foot on land, he still felt a little uncomfortable and weightless under his feet.

Although it is February now, the climate is still a bit cold, but the cold wind from the north blew on Cao Bianjiao, making him sober in an instant.After taking a few steps forward, he understood what it felt like to have his feet firmly on the ground.

"Sentinel, the younger one is a soldier of the Gaizhou Guards. Our Bian notification asked me to prepare ginger soup and hot porridge. After the sentry officer arranges your people, you can go with the younger one."

While he was in a trance, a soldier on the dock saw him dressed as a sentry and came over quickly, and started to lead him forward as he spoke.

"Your dock is not as big as you say. With such a landing speed, it will take a long time for me to land with nearly 1 people and firearms and horses."

Cao Bianjiao slammed his feet on the floor a few times to get used to the feeling of being down-to-earth again. At the same time, he couldn't help but complain about the people in Gaizhou Guard.

"Forgive me, sentry officer, this pier was expanded last year, and it might have been slower before. But please rest assured, sir, the military situation is urgent, and we dare not neglect it. Now our guard station has sent civilian men and military households to move it. As long as All loading and unloading can be completed in ten days, and the sentry officer can also use these ten days to take a good rest."

When he heard that he had ten days of rest, Cao Bianjiao's face looked much better.

He used to live in Liaodong with his uncle Cao Wenzhao, but he had never been to Gaizhou.

Now that he had the opportunity, he also looked around and observed the surrounding scene.

I saw small boats docked on the coast, and people kept getting off the boats. Their reactions when they first landed were very similar to his. It seemed that they were all people who had been on the boat for a long time.

I turned around and saw dozens of ships moored on the distant sea. Hundreds of small boats shuttled back and forth between the coast and these large ships, constantly transporting people on board to the dock. It was very lively.

Not only Cao Bianjiao, but also Sun Yingyuan and Zhao Lejiao of Yaowu Army and others, as well as Gaizhou Commander Tongzhi Bian Weipeng, they were already a little worried.

Large-scale transportation of troops and horses has not been carried out in the Ming Dynasty for many years, so problems often arise during this process. Fortunately, although Gaizhou Guards and the Navy have no experience in transporting troops, they have experience in transporting grain. Something big went wrong.

"Bian Tongzhi, there's so much trouble."

Compared with Cao Bianjiao's treatment, Sun Yingyuan and others' treatment was much better. As soon as they got off the ship, they were invited over by Gaizhou commander Tongzhi Bian Weipeng.

"You two generals are very polite. You all came to Liaodong for me. It was a very hard journey. Liaodong is bitterly cold and the sea is very rough. I should be the one thanking you."

Looking at the generals from the capital, even Bian Weipeng, the emperor of Gaizhou Wei, did not dare to neglect them.

Sun Yingyuan deeply agreed with what he said about the bitter cold in Liaodong. He now finally understood why many people were afraid of Liaodong before. Even though it was already February, the weather was still so cold.

"Two generals, the Liaodong Dusi has sent a message before coming here. They said that you are tired of traveling and traveling, and you will definitely not be used to it when you first arrive at Gaizhou Guard. Therefore, you are specially ordered to lead your troops to rest in Gaizhou Guard for fifteen days, and then set off. Head to Liaoyang.

I have also rested and recuperated the camp in Beijing. The two generals will allow the people below you to rest and recuperate before heading to Shenyang. "

As he spoke, Bian Weipeng took out the document from Liaodong Dusi from his sleeve and handed it to Sun Yingyuan and Sun Yingyuan. Sun Yingyuan took the document and read it while asking:

"I wonder where Marquis Taining led his army."

Bian Weipeng had already expected that they would ask about this matter, so he had already inquired about it.

"The navy transports troops very quickly, but Marquis Taining is not so fast. Yesterday I received a report from Tang that it had crossed the Daling River. This should have been the journey five days ago, and it should be almost to Guangning now. "

Sun Yingyuan and others nodded secretly when they heard this. This navy transports troops really fast. Even if they rest for a few days, they should arrive in Liaoyang earlier than Marquis Taining.
-
What Bian Weipeng said was correct. Just a few days after Sun Yingyuan and others landed at Gaizhouwei, Chen Liangbi had already led the three armies of the Beijing camp to Guangning.

Outside Guangning City, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, had been waiting here with officers above the level of Liaozuo Counselor.As one of the emperor's most trusted nobles, Chen Liangbi was also the governor of the capital, and even Wang Huazhen did not dare to neglect him.

The north wind was howling and the cold wind was biting, but in this situation, even if everyone had any complaints, they did not dare to complain. They could only watch Tan Ma retort and report, ten miles, five miles, three miles, one mile.

"Dengdengdeng..."

Finally, bursts of horse hoofbeats suddenly came from a distance. Everyone looked intently and saw a group of cavalry galloping in the distance, carrying a small crimson flag on their backs.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people came from behind. First, the cavalry guard cleared the way, followed by the infantry. For a while, the sky and the sun were blocked, making it difficult to see what was behind them.

"coming."

After seeing the troops from the Beijing camp arriving, Wang Huazhen, who was sitting like paraffin, finally came to his senses, stood up slowly and stood waiting.

"Law..." After a while, behind the guard of honor, a group of cavalry galloped over and stopped in front of everyone, swirling up clouds of dust.

Then a hearty voice sounded from the cavalry team.

"Governor Wang is too worried. You must have been waiting for a long time."

Everyone followed the sound and saw a general with a thin face and bright armor slowly dismounting his horse and smiling at everyone.

"Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, met Marquis Taining. I didn't wait long. It's not hard work. It's hard work all the way to Jingying."

Wang Huazhen was the governor of the second rank, and the governor of Beijing was the second rank, although Wang Huazhen was lower in rank than the Marquis of Taining.However, the status of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty was very high, so Wang Huazhen only had to bow to Chen Liangbi when he saw him.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and introduced the people behind him to Wang Huazhen.

"These two are Gao Bangzuo and Gu Yi who participated in politics in Guangning."

"This is Xu Guoquan, the commander-in-chief of Guangning."

"This is Cui Ruxiu who served as a military commander in Guangning."

······
"General Sun Degong of the Guangning Chinese Army."

Chen Liangbi listened to Wang Huazhen's introduction and nodded one by one. When he heard Wang Huazhen introduce Sun Degong, he looked at him with interest. After Wang Huazhen saw it, he smiled and said:

"Previously, the imperial court issued a document saying that after Taining came to Liaozuo and Liaodong, he would also publicize His Majesty's imperial edict and reward the generals. Therefore, I took advantage of the Chinese New Year opportunity to call most of the generals above the rank of general to Guangning and waited for Taining. Hou read out the holy will."

When Chen Liangbi heard this, he also smiled and said:

"Governor Wang has taken the trouble. Your Majesty told me before coming here that the officers and soldiers of Liaodong Dusi have worked hard to provide food and clothing for the country. Therefore, I have been specially ordered to reward you all to show your Majesty and the court's grace. It is not convenient to announce the decree now because of the dust. Wait. After the capital camp has paused and rested, I will read out the decree again, and I will not let you down."

Hearing Chen Liangbi's words, everyone present was secretly happy and secretly thought that they had not waited in vain. It seemed that the emperor's reward was probably quite a lot.

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. It is our duty to serve the country. As long as Your Majesty can remember us, everything is enough. Now we have to trouble Marquis Taining to read out the decree. We are really grateful."

Upon seeing this, General Sun Degong of the Chinese Army quickly flattered Chen Liangbi. When Chen Liangbi heard this, he laughed, then turned to Wang Huazhen and said:

"Governor Wang, you really have a keen eye for recognizing people. The person below seems to be not only smart and capable, but also good at talking. At first glance, he is a loyal and patriotic person."

Wang Huazhen smiled when he heard the words, and then glanced at Sun Degong, feeling very satisfied. He trusted Sun Degong very much. Not only was he good at running the army, he was also very good at getting things done and had a good temper with him.

Now seeing Sun Degong making Chen Liangbi so happy, he felt quite satisfied with him.

"Marquis Taining is so complimentary. The army is tired from traveling and traveling, so we will rest for the time being. Tomorrow I will prepare a banquet at my house to entertain all the generals in the capital. What do you think of Marquis Taining?"

"As far as the governor is concerned, I have exactly what I want. Tomorrow the generals from Liaozuo will come, so I can read out the decree to show the emperor's great kindness."

After hearing what Wang Huazhen did, Chen Liangbi nodded in agreement.Later, Wang Huazhen asked Sun Degong and others to guide the three armies of the Beijing camp to settle in the military camp outside the city. He himself no longer waited, and immediately led Chen Liangbi and others into the city.

The Liaozuo generals readily agreed. They had long heard that the Beijing camp was well-equipped, mostly equipped with muskets, and also prepared a large number of Krupp cannons, and they had long wanted to take a look.

But after seeing it, I was still very surprised. The Beijing Camp was already different from the past, because it was newly formed, and there were generals trained by Arisato Caochang.No matter the training intensity or food and salary, it is not comparable to the Liaozuo soldiers.

Now seeing General Liao Zuo looking at them with interest, these soldiers were not to be outdone, and they all worked hard, fearing that they would lose the face of the Beijing camp.

After this, the generals of Liaozuo couldn't help but be surprised and even shocked. They saw the infantry holding blunderbuss and carrying long knives at their waists. They were full of energy and marched past them in an orderly manner. After that, they were like a long dragon. After a brief inventory of the artillery vehicles, they found that each army had nearly a hundred Krug artillery vehicles.

They couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This Krupp artillery had shown great power in Liaodong before. Now that the Beijing camp has so much equipment, wouldn't it be extremely easy to conquer the city and plunder the territory in the future?

Some Liaozuo generals were even more excited when they saw this, feeling that with such a strong army as the Jingying camp, the annihilation of the captives might not be easy.

Chinese Army Staff General Sun Degong looked at the long artillery team in front of him. Although his face was expressionless, he was secretly frightened and worried in his heart.

He had only heard before that the Jingying camp was powerful after its restructuring, and that the She'an rebellion in the southwest was quickly put down by it, but without seeing it with his own eyes, he still didn't believe it.

Today I saw it with my own eyes and realized that what I said was true.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think to himself, it seemed that he needed to find someone to discuss it.
