Chapter 272 Longevity Festival, Dongjiang Town is launched(1/2)
Man Gui and his two generals, Hu Hu, stood together as fierce as a tiger. Looking at the training of the flying cavalry in the Beijing Camp, their faces showed regret.
Although they are all Ming army, the equipment of each unit is still somewhat different, which is very normal.
Just talk about armor, the style is changing, and it is not produced and manufactured by the same batch, and the speed of replacement is different. The deployment of the Ministry of War is also considered, so it is normal to have different differences.
The flying cavalry in Jingying has changed into half-body armor, which is pressed with a hydraulic press, and can only protect the chest and abdomen. This greatly reduces the weight of the armor, improves the maneuverability of the cavalry, and reduces the requirements for war horses.
The meaning of this armor to express is very obvious, and it is similar to the sabreless sabre used by the cavalry.
"Half-body armor is enough." Hu Dawei touched his beard with a tent under his jaw and said, "Transfer it to us, is it coming soon?"
Man Gui nodded and said, "From the time of writing from the Ministry of War, it should have been loaded from Tianjin and transported to Jinzhou Port."
"Then-" Meng Ruhu made a calculation with his fingers and said, "Is it almost half a month?"
Man Gui nodded and said helplessly: "There is no short gun."
Hu Dawei blinked his eyes and waved his hand boldly, "Without a short gun, we can defeat Jianlu with a sabre."
The victory over the Jiannu Jingqin of Amin's troops made the naturalized flying cavalry famous.
Although the Lancers made great contributions in actual combat, as the first unit to defeat the Jiannu cavalry, Man Gui and others had more practical experience and more confidence.
"Are the five Khalkha alliances ready?" Man Gui no longer focused on equipment issues, but instead estimated the time to start the operation. "I think it will be time to start in one month at most."
"No problem." Hu Dawei said: "The court has increased its share of the Ma market again. Those guys are not working hard? Besides, this time they are all trying to get some benefits!"
Feng Ruhu threw off the whip and said with a smile: "Zarut's army is the most active. Nuke sent someone to ask several times, and is eager to get the appointed official position from the court!"
There were some fighting and laurels in the Mongolian tribes, especially under the pressure of Lin Dankhan, the five Neikhalka tribes and even other Mongolian tribes that surrendered to the emperor were all the targets that the emperor wanted to subdue.
Despite this, the emperor still had to maintain a limit, or implement it strategically and plannedly, instead of forcing himself to make a large-scale battle with Lin Danhan.
Use the Ming army as little as possible and make as much use of naturalized Mongolian soldiers as possible. Rules will be made for the division of grasslands. These are not the emperor's first creations, and history is the best textbook.
Not informing Inner Khalkha of the information that Lin Dankhan wanted to attack was one of the emperor's strategies. In the emperor's view, the Mongolian tribes would not take the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty unless they were forced into a dead end.
The generals were watching and discussing, and several Ming troops rushed from afar. When they looked at their outfits, they knew that they were messengers.
Now, the commander-in-chief of western Liaoning is General Zhou Yuji, and the deputy commander is Zu Dashou. The two of them are in charge of attack and defense, and there is no conflict.
The messenger ran to the front, got off the horse and went up to the mountain. After the salute was finished, he submitted a letter.
Zhou Yuji looked at the envelope. It was sent by Xiong Tingbi. He was of average level and opened the envelope and expanded it to read it.
The smile became more and more intense on his face. Zhou Yuji smiled at the messenger and said, "Please return to Master Jingli, and I will immediately inform the entire army of this good news."
The messenger bowed and turned around and went down the earth mountain, galloping away.
Zhou Yuji turned to the generals, laughed at first, then bowed to the direction of the capital, and said loudly: "The Birthday Festival is coming, long live to transfer silver coins for the Liaodong soldiers to celebrate."
After a little quiet, the generals smiled happily and bowed to thank him, "Long live the emperor's grace, long live, long live, long live!"
……………………. Dividing lines……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Others will receive gifts on their birthdays, but I have to pay a lot of money to work hard, called "Tongqing".
The emperor ended the court meeting, accepted the congratulations of all officials, and received a lot of congratulations. However, they were all festive items, but they were not as expensive as they were.
This is also done by oneself, no wonder others. To combat corruption, unscrupulous businessmen, powerful people, and vassals, who dares to show off their wealth? After receiving some gifts, they also have to reward all officials according to their level, which seems to be a compensation?
Just pay it, as long as you don’t pay the world.
The eyes are filled with lanterns and decorations in the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids are not covered with purple and can wear their favorite clothes. The most common one is the new style of Fangsheng gourd created by the palace maids. They are colorful and pleasing to the eye.
Among them, Baoli is composed of eight treasure lychees and fish with the character *; the composition of Hongfu Qitian is one red bat on both sides, with two words filled in the characters "Qiantian"; the four seas are filled in the characters "Qiantian" by two bees flying with lamps and fill in the characters "Markan".
Auspicious words have meanings. The emperor believes it or not, and he feels happy when he sees it.
"The Emperor." Wang Tiqian bowed beside him and smiled flatteringly and said with a funny look: "There are also lights and decorations in the capital, singing and dancing everywhere to peace. Whether it is the officials or the common people, they are all celebrating the Emperor's birthday!"
The emperor said, "I have issued an order not to be allowed to do a great job, and I will follow the severity of everything. I believe Shuntian Mansion dare not violate the order, right?"
Wang Tiqian hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this is not handled by the government, it is all spontaneous by the people."
"Spontaneous!" The emperor smiled, nodded, and moved forward lightly again.
No matter how officials congratulate or what people are spontaneous, it is not as good as my family gathering with me. How do you show your family’s birthday? Why should you care about how you perform outside?
In the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Yu and two young masters were summoned to arrive on time. When the palace servants reported, Zhang Yuer hurried out of the palace to greet him.
"The beloved concubine is not a gift." The emperor stepped forward and reached out to help him up, turned around and hugged his daughter from the palace maid, walked into the hall with a smile.
Zhang Yuer flattened her mouth and followed closely behind. Although she was her own flesh and blood, she was still a little jealous.
The two little girls were so cute that they could jump out one by one.
The emperor personally taught, "Dad" and "Dad" shouted crisply. Perhaps it was because it was fun and made a cheerful giggle.
Zhu Youxiao was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. He kissed him on his left, pressed his face on his right, went straight into the warm pavilion, sat on his bed, sat a baby on one thigh, touched and looked around, and was so rare that he was doting.
"Hurry to celebrate my father's birthday." Concubine Yu clapped her hands, attracted the attention of the two little girls, and coaxed her with a smile.
The two little girls probably didn't understand and giggled at their mother.
"Dear birthday, give it to Guoguo." Concubine Yu was a little helpless and had to use her trick.
A little princess' eyes widened and blinked, and her two fat hands hugged each other in her chest, waving up and down towards the emperor.
Hahahaha, the emperor laughed happily, reached out to hold the fat little hand, and said, "Good daughter, it's so awesome!"
Another young man followed suit, and he also raised his fat hands and smiled with a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, they are all good daughters." The emperor touched the little girl's face and praised her repeatedly.
Concubine Yu laughed happily, but she even scolded her mouth: "These two girls can't learn how to kowtow."
"They are still young!" The emperor didn't care and put the two girls on the bed, laughing and teasing.
This should be the happiest time for the emperor. He is with his children and his own women. All the troubles outside are thrown away.
Two white, chubby little girls played with stuffed toys on the bed and giggled from time to time.
At the emperor's gesture, Concubine Yu also sat down, letting the emperor hug her waist, and looking at the pair of daughters happily and satisfied.
"I still look so similar." The emperor looked around and smiled, "But I can still tell."
"The emperor is so amazing." Concubine Yu complimented: "If the light is a little dim, I will sometimes make mistakes!"
One was still fed after eating, and the other was so hungry that he screamed. The emperor glanced at Zhang Yu'er, and such a scene appeared in his mind for some reason, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Yuer didn't understand why, and smiled at each other. Looking at her beautiful face, the emperor approached her and kissed her warm red lips.
The sweetness of the two people was interrupted by the fat man's hands. A little boy climbed over, raised his face, and said words of unknown meaning from his mouth, reaching out to touch the two faces that were posted together.
After parting, Zhang Yuer smiled shyly and apologized at the emperor, turned her head and pointed at her daughter's little forehead, and said angrily: "You are so entangled."
The emperor took the silk handkerchief in drowning, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's good to be big. When you have a title, I will give them Zhaoren Palace and Hongde Palace."
Zhang Yu'er was stunned for a moment, then thanked her.
The Qianqing Palace has auxiliary halls in the east and west, Zhaoren Hall in the east and Hongde Hall in the west. You can tell from the location that you must be favored by the emperor and cannot live so close.
There was a tragic incident in Zhaoren Palace in history. When Li Zicheng captured Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen killed his six-year-old daughter, Princess Zhaoren, in Zhaoren Palace. Princess Changping was also cut off and survived by chance.
The miserable end of the dynasty and the mood at that time were really hard to imagine and understand.
The emperor and his wife and daughter continued their family happiness, without any concern that they would fall into that place.
Now that the Pingliae slaves are about to be launched, the court's finances are becoming more and more abundant. These two items alone make him feel that he can be lazy and lazy.
The empress, Duan Chun and Wang Liang were also summoned to the Qianqing Palace to celebrate the emperor's birthday. However, the emperor was still a little biased, and the time was arranged differently, so he could spend more time with Zhang Yuer and his daughter.
Next year, I will have more children and more when I am in a good mood!
Empress Zhang Yan and two other concubines arrived one after another, and three were pregnant. The emperor saw it and was full of pride and pride.
It is all the result of my hard work. I am fierce and powerful, and I will never be defeated in a hundred battles. I am better than the little carpenters in history.
Be low-key, be low-key!
When Duan Chunfei saw that her belly was a little bit like that, she kept thrusting forward, as if she was competing with the other two.
When he came into contact with Concubine Duan Chun's gaze, the emperor couldn't help but shake his head slightly and winked. Concubine Zhang Yu had two children, and the queen and Concubine Wang Liang's belly was bigger than you, so don't show off.

"I wish my emperor a long life and a healthy holy body!"
The incense table was filled with smoke. Under the incense table, the generals fell to their knees and worshiped the crowd.
The Wannian Festival has arrived, and all officials in the capital who are of high rank can go to the hall to congratulate. Civil and military officials from all over the country also set up incense tables and pay a great gift to the capital to congratulate.
After Mao Wenlong gave the gift, he slowly stood up. The generals below also stood up and bowed and stood solemnly.
Although people have been sent to the emperor to send ginseng and deer antlers, Captain Mao still has to do something meaningful, which is to take the lead in launching a long-prepared combat plan and fire the first shot to Ping Liao.
Scanning the generals, Mao Wenlong showed some appreciation, nodded, turned around and walked into the conference hall. The generals were rank and then entered.
The conference hall is very simple, with large tables and benches, and only the large sand tables on the table are amazing. The mountains, rivers, town terrain and other markings are clearly marked, and the military configuration of our enemies and us is also very well established.
Mao Wenlong couldn't help but squeeze into the sand table to watch, and couldn't help laughing and said loudly: "Look clearly, this is the royal system. It has just been delivered. I have found a lot of people and have almost made some changes. Today is the first time I have arranged military affairs according to this."
Royal Imperial System? Could it be that the emperor was not doing his job properly and started a carpenter again?
To be continued...
