Chapter 679: Heart Blooming
Chapter 679: Heart Blooming
In order to take over the two battalions of troops under Lin Feng as soon as possible, Zhao Gui rushed to Qiancheng overnight.
He and Jiao Sanqiang stayed in the Qiancheng Command Center, carefully studying how to successfully receive the troops.
The Seventh Battalion of the Imperial Guards under Jiao Sanqiang was composed of the original 20,000 troops, plus more than 10,000 soldiers eliminated from the 11th and 9th Battalions.
A total of more than 30,000 troops.
Zhao Gui promised him that once he took over the 11th and 9th Battalions, he would write to the emperor to promote Jiao Sanqiang's military rank.
The two of them were excitedly arranging the staff.
Zhao Gui brought five hundred close confidants and began to assign positions according to their numbers.
The person leading the troops must be one's own confidant, otherwise, the military orders will not be carried out and the war cannot be fought.
The two of them studied all night, their eyes were red, but they still looked very excited.
Zhao Gui felt that he could achieve success and fame with this battle.
With the soldiers trained by the Zhenxi Army, the battle is half won.
Jiao Sanqiang was thinking about the position of general that was about to be obtained.
He had been working as General Wei for nearly ten years and it was time for him to be promoted.
Although he had already given a generous gift to Grand Tutor Wan, and Grand Tutor Wan had clearly nodded in agreement, who knew when it would be accomplished.
He had high expectations for Zhao Gui.
Zhao Gui is a favorite of the emperor, and this expedition to Jingdong Prefecture is an opportunity.
Jiao Sanqiang has been secretly calculating how much silver he should give to Zhao Gui.
Because of this matter, the family savings have almost been depleted.
The two or three thousand men under his command had not received their salaries for half a year. He had withheld all of them, exchanged them for silver notes, and sent them to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Many officers had complaints, but they were all suppressed by himself.
This time, I must take the opportunity to make some money. Otherwise, without money, how can Zhao Gui work wholeheartedly for me?
The two of them waited in excitement and anxiety until the afternoon.
Finally, a soldier came to report that the 11th and 9th Battalions of the Imperial Guard had reached a place thirty miles away from Qiancheng.
Zhao Gui clenched his fist and waved it in the air.
"Fuck, it's finally here, hahaha..."
"Congratulations, General! Congratulations, General! This battle will surely make you famous throughout the world."
Jiao Sanqiang bowed and congratulated, his face full of joy.
"Come here, prepare the reception procedures and form a line to welcome the team into the city."
As Zhao Gui's order was issued, Qiancheng began to get busy.
Zhao Gui arranged the military handover ceremony to be held in the Qiancheng Military Field, which was spacious and could easily accommodate 100,000 troops.
Zhao Gui asked Jiao Sanqiang to preside over the meeting, while he mounted his horse and went to the city gate tower.
In the wilderness in the distance, a long black dragon gradually appeared, swimming forward in a winding manner.
Zhao Gui nodded, and looked at the team becoming clearer and clearer, secretly praising it in his heart.
Look at the military appearance and equipment, it is indeed a strong army that is good at fighting.
It made me more confident and excited.
Half an hour later, tens of thousands of troops arrived at the city gate.
The leading general rode his horse to the suspension bridge and shouted loudly.
"I'm Ju Chaoyue, the cavalry general of the 11th Battalion of the Imperial Guards, on the orders of Lin Feng, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. I'm here to report."
Zhao Gui heard it clearly on the city wall and was immediately overjoyed.
"Come here, lower the bridge and open the city."
The drawbridge creaked and fell to the ground with a loud bang. Immediately afterwards, the heavy city gate slowly opened.
Ju Chaoyue waved his hand, and the team behind him slowly started, crossed the suspension bridge, and drove into the city.
There were soldiers in the city leading the way, leading the way to the military training ground.
Zhao Gui was on the city wall watching the rows and rows of soldiers marching into the city, and his heart was filled with joy.
He felt that the aura of this army was obviously different from that of the soldiers in Qiancheng.
Heavy and steady, iron-blooded and vigorous, in short, compared with them, the soldiers of the Seventh Battalion are more than one level lower.
As more and more troops entered the city, Zhao Gui could no longer contain his excitement and ran down from the city wall before all the troops entered the city.
He took a group of guards with him and mounted his horse and ran towards the military training ground.
At the end of the team entering the city, Lin Feng, riding a white horse, surrounded by a thousand guards, slowly stepped into the gate of Qiancheng.
According to Lin Feng's arrangement, only 20,000 troops, followed by leading soldiers, entered the military training ground.
As soon as the other 10,000-plus cavalry entered the city gate, they began to split into two directions.
The last two thousand soldiers, under the command of the officers, rushed up the city wall, controlled the defending troops, and took over the city gate area.
The officers and soldiers of the Seventh Battalion stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do in the face of the numerous swords and guns.
In the military ground of Qiancheng School, Jiao Sanqiang ordered the soldiers to build a high platform and prepare for the handover ceremony.
After all, it is an army of tens of thousands, so the necessary sense of ceremony is still necessary.
Jiao Sanqiang also had selfish motives. He wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Lin Feng.
Not only am I not afraid of you, but I have also taken over your army. What can you do?
At this time, he was standing on the side of the platform, talking to Ju Chaoyue.
The two men were very familiar with each other. They had once been comrades in the same trench, fighting together against the rebel attacks. They had a friendship that could be considered as one that had shared life and death.
It’s just that the two had different political views and personalities, and eventually they went to different camps.
"Old Ju, why didn't the deputy commander come this time?"
Ju Chaoyue laughed and said, "The senior official has to arrive last. No one can be the boss as soon as they arrive."
"Hehe, I'm wondering why the deputy commander agreed to hand over the military power of the Royal Guards?"
Ju Chaoyue shook his head: "Let's not guess what our superiors are thinking. Let's just do our own job well."
"I find that you, Old Ju, are becoming more and more sensible."
"There's no other way. The situation forces me."
Jiao Sanqiang leaned forward and said, "Hey, I might get promoted to general this time. What do you think? Come back and hang out with me."
"Let me come back and hang out with you?"
Jiao Sanqiang reached out and patted Ju Chaoyue on the shoulder.
"You've been a general of the cavalry for many years, so you must be promoted to the next level this time."
"I don't have your ability. Let's survive first."
Jiao Sanqiang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Kyoto won't be the end of it."
"Oh? What makes you so sure?"
"We have Lin Feng. The rebels are terrified of him. How dare they come to Kyoto and cause trouble?"
Ju Chaoyue was surprised and said, "Everyone knows that they are relying on Lord Lin to support them, so why are they still treating him like this?"
Jiao Sanqiang sneered: "Are we going to deal with him? He is here to seize our power. If we don't overthrow him, we won't be able to hold this position anymore."
"If you cooperate well, you won't be unable to become an official."
"Tsk, Lin Feng is too strong. Life will be tough under him."
Ju Chaoyue nodded: "That's true. With your personality, you really can't serve as a subordinate to the deputy commander."
Jiao Sanqiang said proudly, "Go back and persuade him not to fight us. He can't win against us. Look, he fought all the way here, but now he has nothing. Whether it's the Emperor or Prince Rui, once the rebels are defeated, who will pay attention to him?"
Ju Chaoyue smiled bitterly: "It's true, Lord Lin has been wronged."
"What about Zhao Gui? If he becomes Lin Feng's enemy, I'm afraid he won't end well for him."
Jiao Sanqiang blinked at Ju Chaoyue mysteriously.
