The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 399 Assemble
kick kick...

The sound of horseshoes sounded on the long street, breaking the tranquility of Tongchang County.

The cultivation in Tongchang has ended, and most of the people are in the city. They still have a lot of work to do, but it is more stable than outside the city.

Perhaps because they have gone through too many hardships, these surviving people don't like to watch the excitement at all.

Those who don’t have work can honestly rest at home, and those who work can honestly work at home. There are not many people on the street.

The soldiers on horseback finally stopped outside the military camp in Tongchang County, and then entered the Yamen of Qianhusuo all the way.

"There is a military order, please Xu Qianhu accept the order!"

The small official on duty inside received the ordering soldiers, and then sent someone to invite Xu Hong from Qianhu.

Xu Hong was playing swords in the school yard, not far from the Qianhu Office, so he came to the Yamen lobby after a few minutes.

The soldiers were ordered to take out a sealed bamboo tube, handed it to Xu Hong, and said, "Xu Qianhu, the Privy Council order!"

Xu Hong immediately opened it to read it, and after reading it carefully, he said, "Go and call back, and I will make arrangements!"

"Yes!"

After the messenger left, Xu Hong sat on Qianhu's official chair and ordered: "Go and call Hu Baihu!"

"Yes!"

Xu Hong is the official Qianhu, and he has four Baihu Offices under his direct control. This Hu Baihu is the person he values ​​most.

After another ten minutes, a hundred households came to the lobby.

"See you, my lord, for a humble position!"

"Yangping, look at this!" Xu Hong handed out the military order in his hand.

Hu Yangping took it in his hand. He was not very literate, but he could barely understand it.

"The Privy Council asked Tongchang to garrison troops, and dispatched a hundred households to station in Andu. I plan to let you lead the team!"

"But...these people transferred are not subordinates of humble positions!" Hu Yang expressed doubts.

"That's right, the deployed troops come from various households. Do you know why they are deployed in this way?"

After thinking for a while, Hu Yangping replied: "All the ministries that have been transferred, their general banners are all training in Yuanyang!"

After the last food transportation accident, Zhao Yanxun transferred more than [-] people from the general flag and small flags from the whole army for training. Naturally, some people from the Tongchang garrison were also transferred.

Xu Hong went on to say: "Take these people to fight, you know this is a great thing!"

While Hu Yangping was thinking, he only heard Xu Hong continue to say: "Those military officers who participated in the training camp were supposed to be promoted first, but this time they were sent to fight first, this meaning is very clear!"

"After this battle, these people will inevitably be promoted, and you just take this opportunity to go up!"

This level is easy to understand, after hearing what Xu Hong said, Hu Yangping nodded repeatedly.

"After the lord uses troops this time, the actual control area of ​​our palace will have to be expanded, and the expansion of the army is imperative... At that time, there will be vacancies for the position of chief and deputy Qianhu, don't you want to go further?"

Therefore, Xu Hong gave himself the opportunity to be promoted, which made Hu Yangping very grateful.

"Thank you, my lord, for your support!" Hu Yangping said very solemnly.

Xu Hong nodded, and Hu Yangping was still on the right track.

"There are only three days, you go to gather troops now, lead the team and set off tomorrow morning, and make sure to arrive at Andu County before dark!"

"Obey!" Hu Yangping said solemnly.

When the military order was passed to Tongchang, several other counties also received the military order, and each principal and deputy Qianhu sent out their own subordinates.

This time, 600 troops will be stationed from various places to go north. In addition, the Yuanyang garrison and the palace guards will join the battle. Zhao Yanxun wants to defeat Zhu Jinzhang in one fell swoop.

…………

Yuanyang, the two thousand households stationed here, also quickly completed the assembly after the arrival of the military order.

They are nearly full-staffed Qianhusuo, led by Fang Sheng and Wang Cheng respectively, and will also be the main force in this battle.

Their assembly speed is indeed very fast. From the delivery of the military order to the completion of the assembly of the whole army, it took only 10 minutes for the two thousand households, which is proof that the usual training is in place.

Of course, this is also due to the emergency assembly test carried out by Zhao Yanxun. This irregular test system can keep the army in a state of combat readiness at any time.

Outside the south city and the north city, after the two armies were assembled, they marched towards their destinations one after another according to the military order.

Like the garrisons in other places, they also have to go north to Andu, preparing to attack Liaoping.

At the court meeting, Zhao Yanxun said that the north and the south would advance together, and he did not break his promise.

The two hundred households of the Guard Division, led by Liu Enfu and Wang Zong, have already embarked on the journey to the south.

It is indeed much more reasonable to let the guards of the royal palace do such a difficult task of opening up the territory and saving the people.

And this also means that for Zhao Yanxun, Zhu Jinzhang in the north is not a big threat.

The reason why he mobilized a large number of troops for the Northern Expedition was actually more for training and verifying the combat effectiveness of these ordinary troops.

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was returning from Nancheng. He had personally observed the Nancheng army gathering just now, and the speed satisfied him.

And his next schedule is to go to the school grounds of Wangfu, where the training class closing ceremony will be held.

These grassroots officers drawn from the bottom are the backbone of the future army, so Zhao Yanxun spent a lot of effort to train them.

The vast majority of officers are loyal, but there is no guarantee that there will be no bastards like Wang Baokun. The purpose of the training camp is to reduce this situation as much as possible.

Taking the sedan chair, Zhao Yanxun returned to the palace.

At this time, he was wearing regular clothes, so he had to go to Jinshen Hall to change into a python robe, and then go to the school grounds to attend the training closing ceremony.

When he walked into the gate of Jinshen Palace, he saw someone kneeling in front of Jinshen Palace.

Hearing the movement behind him, the man glanced behind him, then immediately turned around and kowtowed: "Chen Gao Zhengan, kowtow to the lord!"

Walking in front of Gao Zhengan with his hands behind his back, Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

"Reporting to the prince, I want to invite you to fight!"

"Call for a fight? You have your own arrangements for how to fight. Why do you need to ask for a fight?"

Because of his previous rashness, Gao Zhengan, who was originally the deputy of the garrison Qianhu, was idled and has been training recruits in the Privy Council for several months.

But he is a restless person, let alone an ordinary person.

For him, this time when the palace was fighting outside the palace, it was a chance for him to stand up, so he appeared outside the Jinshen Hall, and he has been kneeling for half an hour now.

Gathering up his courage, Gao Zhengan went on to say: "My lord, I have made mistakes, but my lord once said that people are not sages and sages can do nothing, please give my lord a chance to make meritorious deeds!"

Before Gao Zhengan, Wang Cheng was kicked out of the position of a thousand households, and he was able to return to his post as a criminal official, which was a great stimulus to Gao Zhengan.

How could he, a direct descendant of the royal family who was born as a guard, be inferior to an "outsider" like Wang Cheng?
There was silence at the scene, and time passed. When Gao Zhengan was already a little desperate, he only heard Zhao Yanxun say: "Give you the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. How capable do you think you are? How many soldiers can you command?"

This question should be answered carefully. Gao Zhengan raised his head after thinking about it for a while and replied: "I am the bodyguard of Baihu, please ask the prince to let me be a Baihu!"

From the position of Deputy Qianhu, he voluntarily demoted to Baihu, which shows Gao Zhengan's determination.

But at this time, Zhao Yanxun walked away directly.

Just when Gao Zhengan was in a daze, he heard Zhao Yanxun, who was walking away, say loudly: "Then I will give you a chance!"

As soon as these words came out, to Gao Zhengan, it was like rain after a long drought.

"Chen... thank you for your grace!" Gao Zhengan turned around and kowtowed three times to Zhao Yanxun who was going away.
