Chapter 56 Choice
As an army that Emperor Chongzhen valued, and under such circumstances, the birth of the Yongwei Battalion had different meanings.
Zhou Yuji knew better than anyone else what the emperor's attitude was towards the Jianlu who invaded the Ming Dynasty. As the current commander of the Yongwei Battalion, he must shoulder this expectation.
"squeak……"
A harsh sound rang out, causing Zhou Yuji to look subconsciously. The chaotic sound of horse hooves rang in his ears, and heavily armed cavalrymen poured out from Zunhua City.
"It seems that Mr. Sun is out of the city." When Fang Zhenghua saw this, he frowned and said, "I guess he wants to ask why our Yongwei camp appeared in Jizhou."
"Eunuch Fang is right."
Zhou Yuji nodded in response, looked at the old man who was surrounded by a group of royal guards, and said, "Let's go, let's go see Mr. Sun Ge."
"Um."
Fang Zhenghua had no objection, nodded in agreement, and then followed Zhou Yuji and walked in the direction of Sun Chengzong.
Since Emperor Chongzhen gave Zhou Yuji Shang Fangjian, which clarified the internal relations of the Yongwei camp, Fang Zhenghua, who served as the Royal Horse Supervisor to supervise the eunuchs, had to follow Zhou Yuji's arrangements, which was extremely rare in the Ming Dynasty.
"At the end of the week, General Zhou met with good luck and paid homage to Mr. Sun Ge."
"The internal affairs official has been rectified and I have met Sun Gong."
Sun Chengzong listened to what Zhou Yuji and Fang Zhenghua said, got off his horse, Man Gui, Li Ruo and others followed behind Sun Chengzong.
"General Zhou, Eunuch Fang, you led the brave guard camp to Jizhou, are you following the emperor's will?" Sun Chengzong showed some doubts, looked at Zhou Yuji and others, and asked.
"That's right."
Zhou Yuji nodded and responded: "Mr. Sun Ge, I, the entire Yongwei Battalion, are following His Majesty's orders to rush to Shimen Town and look for suitable fighter planes to start a battle with Jianlu's right-wing division."
"..."
Sun Chengzong and Man Gui were slightly shocked. They looked at Zhou Yuji with a resolute expression, but a different emotion arose in their hearts.
As for Sun Chengzong, he thought of what Emperor Chongzhen said before, saying that if you hit with one punch, you will avoid hundreds of punches. This was to show the power of the Ming Dynasty.
"General Zhou, do you know that the main force of the rebels is currently besieging Zunhua City!" Man Gui stepped forward, staring at Zhou Yuji with eyes like a torch, and said.
"Under such a situation, you lead a brave guard battalion of less than ten thousand people and rush to Shimen Town. Even if there are thousands of troops stationed there, what guarantee can you give that you will be able to become a prisoner?"
Zhou Yuji frowned slightly and looked at Man Gui. Did he look down on their Yongwei camp by saying this?
"Mangui, stand down!"
Sun Chengzong, who knew Mangui's temperament, frowned and said: "Eunuch Fang doesn't need to worry about the guerrilla attacks. Manchu soldiers are outspoken and heartfelt people. They are worried about the Yongwei camp and rushed to Shimen Town without understanding the situation."
"You will eventually understand."
After hearing Sun Chengzong's explanation, Zhou Yuji clasped his fists and said, "This time I bravely defend the camp and stay in Jizhou. In addition to replenishing water and supplies, I also want to know some of the situation on the front line.
Our Yongwei battalion rushed to the front line according to the order. Even if the invading Jianlu forces were strong, there would still be no problem in fighting against the Jianlu partial divisions.
If you can't defeat those with more troops, then defeat those with fewer troops!
His Majesty once said that if you add up a little, you can achieve an impressive record!"
From Zhou Yuji and Fang Zhenghua's eyes, Sun Chengzong saw perseverance, which also made him sigh secretly in his heart.
What kind of methods are used today to make the Siwei Camp no longer reusable and adapt it to the Yongwei Camp to have such a change?
The general is the courage of the soldier, and the soldier is the power of the general!
If the Yongwei camp cannot be reused, Zhou Yuji and Fang Zhenghua will never have such perseverance in their eyes.
"good!"
Sun Chengzong sighed with emotion and said loudly: "Li Ruolian, you immediately send someone to fetch the documents compiled by this pavilion, as well as the geographical map.
I will tell Zhou Youqi and the others in detail about the current battle situation on the front line."
"Here!"
Li Ruolian immediately answered with cupped fists, then turned around and called the accompanying imperial guards, and immediately returned to the Imperial Envoy's Office.
"Sorry, Sun Ge is old."
Seeing this, Zhou Yuji hurriedly greeted Sun Chengzong with fists in his hands.
"No trouble!"
Sun Chengzong stepped forward, held Zhou Yuji's arms, and said: "You Yongwei camp are our great army of the Ming Dynasty. What I can do is to help you familiarize yourself with the battle situation on the front line.
The Yongwei Battalion is an army that the emperor has given high hopes for. Even if it rushes to Shimen Town, it must make corresponding arrangements based on the actual situation on the front line."
During the few days he spent working at the Military Aircraft Department, Sun Chengzong truly felt Emperor Chongzhen's determination and attitude towards this battle.
As the imperial envoy to temporarily set up the front, middle and rear guards, Sun Chengzong must ensure that every army sent by the Ming Dynasty to fight can dampen the arrogance of the invading Jianlu without causing heavy casualties!
In fact, this idea was what Emperor Chongzhen expected. Otherwise, he would not have handed over such privileges to Sun Chengzong.
When Zhou Yuji and others led his troops to Jizhou, Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the Forbidden City, was also secretly calculating in his mind whether they had arrived in Jizhou.
"It really wouldn't work without a relay that extends in all directions!"
Emperor Chongzhen, who was standing in front of the geographical map, frowned and said: "The efficiency of transmitting military information from various places on the front line back is really too slow."
Wang Qia and Xu Guangqi, who were standing aside, bowed their heads and said nothing. It was difficult for them to accept this. After all, the emperor had agreed to the abolition of the post station in the first place.
"Wang Qing, Xu Qing, tell me, you two, can the Yongwei camp led by Zhou Yuji withstand the pressure after entering Shimen Town?" Emperor Chongzhen turned around, looked at Wang Qia and the others and said.
"If it can cause a certain degree of damage to the right wing of Jianlu, the main force of Jianlu who is besieging Zunhua at this time will definitely make a corresponding response.
Calculating the time, Yuan Chonghuan should have arrived at Shanhaiguan in advance, and now he should be waiting for reinforcements from Guan Jinning, hoping that Zunhua City can survive until the fifth day of the lunar month, or even the tenth day of the lunar month!"
Emperor Chongzhen knew better than anyone else what the so-called virtues of Guan Jinning's army were. The generals of the Liao faction headed by his ancestors controlled military power everywhere.
The imperial court spent a lot of money to build the Guan Ning cavalry, and it was a servant army completely controlled by the Liao faction military group headed by the ancestor family.
Defeating the invading Jianlu was just the beginning, there were many difficulties waiting for him later.
Xu Guangqi glanced at Wang Qia, stepped forward and raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if the Yongwei Battalion does not advance rashly, I will understand the battle situation on the front line and look for favorable opportunities to win a battle against the Jianlu right wing. I think there is still a lot of hope.
