Chapter 906: Coming to Tongzhou
Thirty miles southeast of the capital, outside Tongzhou City.
Tongzhou has been a must-pass place from Liaodong to the capital since ancient times, and it was also the last barrier for the capital's vassal screen. Zhu Youxiao also built Tongzhou into an important capital and auxiliary town.
The Tongzhou soldiers not only participated in the southwest war in the second year of Tianqi, but also followed Zhu Xieyuan to Liaodong to fight against Jiannu and defeated the Eight Banners led by Nurhaci. There was no doubt about their combat effectiveness and loyalty.
In October last year, the imperial court issued a proclamation to fight the enemy and began to transfer the troops from all over the world into the capital. By January this year, with the last troops from Yunnan coming, the assembly was completed.
By the end of February, the world's troops had been staying near Tongzhou, the suburbs of Beijing for more than a month. If it weren't for the Beijing Army and Zhang Weixian, there would have been trouble.
With so many troops, the chaos in the Jifu will not end well, and the impact will be extremely bad and may not be eliminated in the next few years.
So as soon as Zhu Youxiao handled the matter at hand and arranged the affairs in the middle of the capital, he immediately led the Yongwei Camp to Tongzhou.
Thirty miles away, the Yongwei camp army set off after eating in the morning and arrived before noon. It happened to catch up with the troops from all over the country for lunch.
More than 200,000 troops gathered outside Tongzhou City, and the momentum of the camp was extremely huge. From a distance, there were smoke from cooking for several miles.
Inside the camp, people shouted and horses were neighing.
Countless people came in and out, appearing disorderly and noisy. The central tent was the commander of the British Duke Zhang Weixian.
Only generals at the level of generals, generals, and guerrilla generals can have single military tents, and they each have their own status regulations.
These military tents are scattered, and stars are listed around the commander's tent like moonlight.
A Tongzhou guard general who was patrolling the walls of Yingpan Village was still joking with others the moment ago, but in a blink of an eye, he felt the walls under his feet trembling and trembling.
Looking up at the past, at some point, a black army had already appeared in front of him. Looking roughly, the number of people was at least over 10,000.
This army was prohibited from being promoted and retreated like a man. Everyone was wearing red and black armor and carrying a tiger gun made of steel behind him.
Their high-profile flags are the most conspicuous. The one engraved on it is a nine-clawed golden dragon. The leader is the Emperor of Ancestral Ancestral Ancestral, wearing bright yellow armor.
Soon, the general realized that this was the unique military flag of the Emperor's Imperial Guard.
"The Imperial Guard Camp has arrived!"
"Your Majesty has arrived in Tongzhou!"
The president quickly put away the smile on his face, shouted loudly, then rolled and crawled down the village wall, leading more than 30 Tongzhou soldiers on duty to the front of the Yongwei Camp army.
"Long live the general of Tongzhou Guards, Zhao Yong, please see Your Majesty!"
"Have you met Governor Chen!"
Chen Ce narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
At this time, the rest of the soldiers and horses around him were barely reacted, and they ran to both sides, kneeling sincerely, and be admired by the momentum of the brave guard camp in front of them.
British Duke Zhang Weixian received the news and brought a group of generals, generals and guerrilla general Shanshan, and when they met, they were placed on the ground.
"My minister Zhang Weixian, please see Your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty, please come and see you!"
Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, expressing satisfaction, and then he just came to Zhang Weixian, helped his hand, and said lightly:
"Please get up."
After saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked around indifferently at the generals around him and said in the same tone: "You get up and follow me to enter the tent!"
Zhu Youxiao rode his horse to the coach's tent, maybe it's time to call the imperial tent now.
Chen Ce tied up the emperor's car and his mount. This was when he stood outside the tent and said to the generals waiting around:
"The general enters the account, the general is outside, and the guerrilla platoon is behind. Let's enter the account!"
Twenty-eight generals from all over the world looked at each other, walked into the camp with their heads raised and their chests raised. The generals were also in high spirits and stood outside the tent.
As for the guerrilla generals and officers from all over the country, they could only be listed in front of the team and wait for the top to come back and tell them the emperor's decree this time.
When the emperor arrived in Tongzhou, in their opinion, he must make pre-war arrangements and oath-making mobilizations for combat, but it will not be a bad thing.
Under Chen Ce's command, the Yongwei Army also strictly protected the surrounding area of the imperial tent and took over the defense affairs of the entire camp.
Horse sheds, grain warehouses, ordnances, and so on are even more places that the Yongwei Battalion must take over.
Zhu Youxiao walked to the seat and waited quietly for a while. After all the twenty-eight generals from all over the country stood in front of their chairs, he didn't look back and said lightly:
"Sit all."
After the words fell, the twenty-eight generals sat in neatly, with excited eyes revealing their eyes.
Then, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and gently stroked the handle of the wooden seat, and said with his back: "This time I came to Tongzhou to arrange for the pre-war arrangements and personally presided over the oath ceremony."
The generals had expected these words and were not surprised.
They were just secretly looking forward to it, thinking about how to fight at that time so that they could not only minimize the losses of the headquarters but also get the greatest contribution.
But soon, Zhu Youxiao's next words made everyone unable to believe that what they heard was true.
"Of course, there's one more thing."
"I heard that some of you have indulged our headquarters in local areas to be arrogant and illegal, behave in military discipline, and behave in the face of violence."
After saying this, there was already some movement below.
But Zhu Youxiao's voice did not stop, and because he still turned his back to everyone, his expression was elusive, so he could only hear some clues from his tone.
However, Zhu Youxiao General's anger, disappointment and excitement were hidden very well.
"Some of you do not cultivate arms all day long, use the convenience of your position to make personal gain for yourself, use the military forces of the court, use my troops to farm, build houses, become tenants, and servants..."
"The morale of the army is dispersed and the people are complaining about justice. Are they still my soldiers now?"
"Are you still a soldier from the Ming Dynasty, huh?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao slowly turned around, his quiet eyes scanned the twenty-eight generals present like sharp swords, and said expressionlessly:
"Are all these true?"
Everyone looked at each other, all frightened by the sudden sharp eyes of Emperor Tianqi. The tent was also quiet so hard that it made people feel scared.
"I'm asking you!"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly increased his tone and hit the case with his palm.
"Song Li, the general general of the canal transport of Xi'an Prefecture, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao shot his eyes at a general sitting upright on the left, sneering:
"'Even if the emperor comes today, there is no way to deal with me', you said this?"
"Are you amazing?"
"I haven't gone to find you now. You are here by yourself. Tell me, can I do anything to you today?"
Song Li didn't think that even the emperor knew about this. He was sweating coldly for a moment, his whole body trembled, and he didn't even have any thoughts of quibbling.
Only my trusted servant knows these words!
He knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Those nonsense that are just drunk, can't be done really!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me for your sins!"
Zhu Youxiao did not leave him any chance. He sat on the chair and said lightly: "Song Li, you are an important position in the canal transportation, but you have repeatedly known that you have violated the law. You disappointed me."
