Borrow the day to change the day

"Exactly." Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about Zhang Fengyi's impoliteness, and nodded.

Then, he told Qin Liangyu to take a good rest for a few days and perform well in the upcoming battle.

Qin Liangyu's family temporarily put aside the shock of Zhong Jinweiju's incident, and after making a generous speech in front of the emperor, they bid farewell to Emperor Chongzhen and returned to the camp outside the city.

On the way, Ma Xianglin couldn't help asking his mother, "Mother, Marquis Zhongxing has been kind to our family, it seems we misunderstood him."

Qin Liangyu didn't turn his head back, but nodded slightly and said: "Send someone to investigate the situation of this Marquis of Zhongxing privately, and then report to me."

Although being promoted by the Marquis of Zhongxing to be highly valued by the emperor and to serve the country, Qin Liangyu still wanted to find out what Zhong Jinwei was like.

Not long after Qin Liangyu returned to the camp, Ma Xianglin broke into her camp when he was discussing matters with his nephew Qin Yiming.

"Mother, the child has found out." Ma Xianglin excitedly reported.

Qin Liangyu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood, and quickly asked, "What about Marquis Zhongxing?"

"Exactly." Ma Xianglin nodded vigorously.

"Come quickly." Qin Liangyu sat up straight and said to his son.

Qin Yiming was also very concerned, looking at his cousin, ready to listen to what he had to say.

Ma Xianglin told his mother one by one what he found out, and talked for a long time.

Among Zhong Jinwei's deeds, what caught Qin Liangyu's attention the most was the fact that Zhong Jinwei persuaded the Guanning Army to rescue Changli, and even beheaded four thousand Tartars.

Ma Xianglin concluded after eloquently speaking: "Mother, I didn't expect Zhongxing Hou to be so innocent and tender, and he could still fight on the battlefield."

Qin Liangyu smiled, but scolded his son, "How can someone describe Zhongxing Hou like this, it's not polite."

Ma Xianglin was scolded by his mother, but he didn't take it seriously, he laughed and said: "My child will remember."

Qin Liangyu looked at his son, then at his nephew, and said, "Don't give up, don't give up, this is the character of Marquis Zhongxing. This person is worthy of our sincere friendship, and you should get closer to him if you have the opportunity .”

Associating with people like Zhongxing Hou, you don't have to worry about being betrayed, and you can get strong support from the court, no matter from which aspect, it is worthwhile.

"Yes, mother, don't abandon, don't give up. The famous saying of Marquis Zhongxing has been spread in the army. Although some people in the army think that Marquis Zhongxing is naive, but one day if they have a choice, many soldiers would like to go to Marquis Zhongxing. Go down." Ma Xianglin agreed.

What Zhong Jinwei said that day in the camp of the Chinese army to save Changli was spread through Hu Hao, and then spread more and more outrageously, and finally passed on Zhong Jinwei as a good man of the ninth generation.But there is one thing that is not wrong, that is Zhong Jinwei's words of "never abandon, nor give up".

"In the army, if you meet the Marquis of Zhongxing, you must respect him. If you ask for something, you will be satisfied." Qin Liangyu recalled that his son had disrespected the Marquis of Zhongxing before, so he ordered.

"Mother, don't worry, my son will never despise Marquis Zhongxing because of his delicate skin and tender flesh. Whoever dares to be courteous among the soldiers in the army will be punished by the army." Ma Xianglin's understanding of Zhong Jinwei has changed, and it is also thanks to his family Lord, so the attitude has changed 180 degrees.

"Don't worry, aunt, my nephew will also explain to my sons and daughters." Qin Yiming knew the importance of Zhongxing Hou to them, and stood up and answered Qin Liangyu seriously. [

"Okay, now that the battle of the capital has been caught up, we must once again show the prestige of our white-armed army. Let the boys rest for a day, and resume training tomorrow. The battle should start in a few days." Qin Liangyu exhorted.

"As ordered." Ma Xianglin and Qin Yiming answered seriously when Qin Liangyu talked about military affairs.

In the next few days, the Yebushou sent by the Ming army came in and out of the camp gate continuously, collecting news from all over the place into Sun Chengzong's hands.Zhong Jinwei was also learning various countermeasures while listening to Sun Chengzong's handling of the military situation.

On this day, after Sun Chengzong analyzed the military situation in his hands, he said to Zhong Jinwei: "The old man sees that the soldiers of the Baigan Army have recovered their physical strength, and the time has come to attack the Jianlu in Guannei."

"Okay, it's time to drive them out long ago. If you stay in Gyeonggi for one more day, you will spend one more day of food and money, and the common people will suffer one more day." Zhong Jinwei also nodded in agreement.

In the current situation, the Ming army is more than 20, while the main force of Jianlu is only [-], and the rest are traitor troops who have just surrendered.From a quantitative point of view, it is a winning situation anyway.

But in terms of quality, Eight Thousand Jianlu is their headquarters and a veteran who is used to fighting.As for the Ming army, the force of a single soldier is no problem, but the cooperation between them and the cooperation between local generals is always a problem.

One of the most commonly used methods of Jianlu to defeat the Ming army is to test the weak side of the Ming army when confronting the Ming army, and then attack it with all its strength. As long as the generals in several other places see that the Ming army is attacked, they will not defend. , not only will not go to support, but will run away first.In the end, the whole army collapsed and was chased and killed by Jianlu, who was much smaller than his own army.

Therefore, the decisive battle between the Ming army and the Jianlu is not based on the number of the two sides, but a comprehensive factor.Sun Chengzong was also a seasoned seeker of the country. After analyzing the enemy's military situation and gaining confidence, he decided to give Jianlu a fatal blow.

It is precisely because of this that the decision to go to war was delayed until now.

After he proposed to attack Jianlu, seeing that Zhong Jinwei had no objection, he said again: "Your safety has been repeatedly explained by the emperor, so my suggestion is that you stay in the rear and follow the main army and move forward slowly. "

Zhong Jinwei was taken aback when he heard it, and it wasn't very appropriate to put himself behind.Emperor Chongzhen was worried about himself, but now that there are so many people, why should he be afraid.

He tried to say to Sun Chengzong: "I am the supervisor of the army, and I hide behind when fighting, isn't it good?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's not about supervising the army. You just need to keep an eye on the army. The old man is fighting in the front. If anyone dares to run back, you can clean them up. That's what you have to do." .” Sun Chengzong still did not want Zhong Jinwei to go to the front to take risks, so he refuted his reasons.

As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard it made sense, he agreed.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei wrote a joint memorial to Emperor Chongzhen, reporting the dispatch of troops.

Emperor Chongzhen had been looking forward to this day for a long time, so he approved it immediately, and issued an imperial decree, stating that those who have made meritorious service in this battle will be rewarded generously.

Towards evening, Sun Chengzong sent an order to beat drums and gather the generals.

Now the military discipline of the Ming army is much better than before. After the three-way drum is completed, all the generals have gathered in the central army tent.

The generals everywhere knew it well, so when Sun Chengzong announced his decision to attack Jianlu, no one was surprised.After all, this day is coming. Looking at how the emperor treats the white pole army, one knows that the army that the emperor values ​​most has arrived, and the fight will not be far away.

Sun Chengzong looked at the generals in the tent and said solemnly: "The land of the capital is ravaged by Jianlu, and our army is huddled under the capital city, not daring to fight with them. It is my grandson who drives Jianlu out of the pass. Shame is also the shame of all the Ming generals. It is already a subject's ability to ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict. If you can't share the emperor's worries, what is the use of a subject?"

Only Sun Chengzong's voice was heard in the tent of the Chinese army, and the generals on both sides were all bowed by Sun Chengzong's words. Even if they were not ashamed in their hearts, they had to show shame. [

Suddenly, a female voice sounded: "Please give me an order, the last general is willing to be the vanguard."

Sun Chengzong saw that Qin Liangyu, the general soldier of Xichuan, came out to fight, and when he was about to speak, Lu Xiangsheng also came out and stood beside Qin Liangyu and said: "It is more suitable for an officer to be a vanguard, and a battle on the battlefield will allow women to charge ahead!"

As soon as Qin Liangyu heard that someone was competing with her for the vanguard, she looked with her eyes, but was surprised to find that the speaker was tall and burly, a head taller than her, but wearing a suit of civil servants.

When the other generals saw someone robbing the vanguard, if they didn't express themselves, it seemed that they were too inactive.Anyway, someone has come forward, and if you really want to choose a pioneer, it is basically selected from the top two.Therefore, they also started to come out and say that they wanted to be pioneers, but none of them said it loudly, fearing that they would really attract Sun Chengzong's attention, they were just expressing their views.

Sun Chengzong naturally understood what the generals who came out from behind were thinking. He had planned for a long time and said: "No need to fight, everyone will fight to the death in this battle. Whoever dares to delay or play tricks, the supervising army will stand by the side." on."
