Space-time SWAT

Chapter 50 Danger

The emperor sat on the Hu bed that the chief eunuch insisted on carrying, listened intently to their reports, and after pondering for a moment, asked: "It's raining so hard, isn't it suitable for walking? Since the Lightning River is flooded, can a bridge be built? How? If there is a detour, where should we go to avoid the flood? Isn’t it still necessary to cross the river in the end?”

"Yes." The British prince said solemnly, "The ministers and others are worried about the safety of the emperor, and they all think it is not appropriate to stay here. No matter what, we must find a way to reach Chengde."

The emperor's health has not been very good in the past few years, especially this year, otherwise he would not be eager to register the emperor's grandson, leaving too many hidden dangers.Yesterday he rode a horse and galloped all day, he couldn't eat well, he couldn't sleep well, and he was thinking a lot, which made him look a lot haggard, as if he was getting older and more decadent.However, he is the lord of the world, and the imperial demeanor is engraved in his bones. In such a simple environment, he is still calm and unhurried in the face of complicated situations.

"Emperor Taizong left the ancestral motto, 'The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.'" He looked at the loyal old dukes, generals, and courtiers in front of him, and smiled slightly. The imperial conquest, fought fiercely with the northern barbarian iron cavalry, and won a brilliant victory. The world has been at peace for a long time after I Yuji, and I have never had the opportunity to visit the battlefield in person. It is a pity. Yesterday, a large number of beasts flooded in. I was unable to fight, so I led them south Withdraw. Now it's just a few thieves peeping at the holy driver. What do I have to fear? If you can't cross the river, then camp here and wait for the rabbit to see what the bandits and thieves are up to. You can take the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop. Annihilation will restore the peace of the people."

Those civil servants still wanted to persuade the emperor to put the country and the country first and return to Beijing quickly, but the old princes and old generals were so excited that they got up quickly and bowed together, "Observe the order."

They are all veteran princes and families of military generals. Their ancestors have followed the emperors who fought in the bloody battlefields and made great achievements. Only then have their descendants inherited the hereditary titles and honors that have lasted to this day.The portraits of those ancestors are still hanging in Lingyan Pavilion to protect them, and they have lived up to the reputation of their ancestors. They have fought bloody battlefields, fought to the death, and fought countless times. They will never take these bandits and bandits seriously .Before, they were worried about the emperor's safety and did not dare to fight lightly, but since the emperor also wanted to use his tricks and take the opportunity to wipe out these bandits, they would not back down.After all, thieves are not as dangerous as the barbarian army. This is the time for the children and grandchildren to make contributions, and they can also increase a good impression in front of the emperor. It will be of great benefit to the future of the children and grandchildren.

The ministers dispersed in the rain.Soon, the children and grandchildren of those heroes and noble families who were over 14 years old all went into battle and were organized into different teams.The leaders of these teams have relationships with them, and they will focus on taking care of their children when necessary.They just want the young people in the family to make some contributions, and they don't want them to die.

The commanders of the three major battalions of the capital and the Shangzhi Jingwei gathered for a meeting, assigned by the British Duke, and made a good division of labor.The three major battalions are mainly responsible for defense, re-arming around the camp, and sending scout teams out to scout the enemy's surroundings.Shangzhi Jingwei sent people to cut wood and move stones to build the camp wall.

The heavy rain has been falling, and the emperor is a little worried, "With such heavy rain, I wonder if it will cause floods? There is too much rain this autumn, so the autumn harvest will not be affected?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." The household assistant Zuo Shilang who was driving with him hurriedly comforted him, "This year, the weather in the south is good and the harvest is very good. Although there are locust plagues, floods, droughts and other disasters in the north, they are all local areas. Even if the local taxes are reduced or exempted, It doesn't affect the overall situation. Besides, the range of wind and rain is not too large. Although it is raining here, the sun is shining brightly in many other places, which has no effect on the autumn harvest."

"That's good." The emperor nodded.He understands all these principles, but it has become Mingjun's instinct to worry about the world when he sees the wind and rain. "This place is vast and sparsely populated. Even if there is heavy rain, the disaster will not be too great, and the lives of the people should not be hindered."

"That's right." The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War smiled and said, "Those bandits and bandits are the most harmful to the people in this kind of place. The emperor came here to wipe out those bandits, which really benefits the people."

After the emperor heard this, Long Yan was very happy, and he no longer worried. After letting the ministers retire, he called the emperor's grandson to guide him in handling government affairs and reviewing memorials.

If it is a son, the emperor will never do this, so as not to increase their ambitions until they reach the point of no return.However, in front of him is the young crown prince, who has just returned to the royal family, has no power and influence in the court, and the supreme glory is tied to the emperor, so he doesn't have so much fear. Instead, he hopes that his grandson can grow up as soon as possible and take on the responsibility. Jiangshan Sheji.

Now that they have decided to set up camp, the grandparents and grandchildren moved to the exquisite and comfortable imperial tent, where one can teach and the other can learn.

It was raining outside, the wind was howling in the mountains, and occasionally the rumble of landslides could be heard, but no one in the camp panicked, and everyone was doing their own things in an orderly manner.

The veterans of the vassal king who had no errands were resting in their tents. Although they were worried in their hearts, they were calm on the surface.With the emperor here, the security measures here must be the strictest. Besides, they can't be the masters, so they might as well behave better in front of the emperor.

In this weather, firearms were useless, so all the muskets were put away. The soldiers of the three major battalions and the Jingwei held weapons, bows and crossbows, and were always on the alert.

The traces of horse bandits and bandits became more and more obvious, and they were getting closer and closer to the camp. It was obvious that the visitors were not good.It stands to reason that bandits would avoid encountering a large number of officers and soldiers, and the current trend of taking the initiative to attack is very strange.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover." The British prince sat on the main seat in the tent, his expression was calm and composed, "Those bandits, no matter how powerful they look, are actually just a mob. There are tens of thousands of soldiers here. Are you afraid of mere thieves if you are a majestic teacher? Although the three battalions of the capital and the Shangzhi Jingwei have been training their troops, they have no chance of actual combat. They are ultimately inferior to the soldiers of a hundred battles. This is a good opportunity for them to fight the enemy , Accumulate experience, or be able to make a victory in World War II, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Several veteran princes laughed and nodded in agreement.The fighting power of Shangzhi Jingwei made them look down on them, and their children and grandchildren were all incorporated into the three major battalions of the capital. They planned to practice their skills with those horse bandits and bandits. Opportunities abound.

In the heavy rain, some soldiers who went out to cut wood and quarry were attacked by bandits, and casualties gradually occurred.Those enemies were well-equipped and used the terrain as a cover to appear suddenly, sweeping with heavy weapons, or shooting arrows from a distance. The officers and soldiers of the Northern Jin Dynasty were caught off guard.After receiving the news, the commanders of each battalion and guard immediately dispatched elite teams to search for traces of the enemy bandits and wait for an opportunity to annihilate them.

Sporadic encounters took place in the mountains, valleys, and forests from time to time, and both the enemy and the enemy suffered casualties.

The horse bandits are fierce, and the bandits are cruel. They are all desperadoes.Killing the king should kill the nine clans, but most of them have no relatives, so they have no fear.With heavy rewards, there must be brave men. The mastermind behind the scenes who hired them to attack and kill not only gave a lot of money, but also promised a bright future, which made them all red-eyed. forward.The officers and soldiers who had hardly been on the battlefield were completely crushed by their aura. Only the soldiers of the three major battalions of the capital and the Jinyiwei could resist and fight back.

Facing such a battle situation, the old princes were so shocked that they could not speak for a moment.Their descendants followed the three major battalions of the capital, but they fought bravely, were not injured, and even beheaded for meritorious service.However, compared with the three major battalions of the Beijing Normal University, the Shangzhi 26th Guards are simply vulnerable, even the Jinyi Guards are dwarfed by comparison. Although there are some soldiers with strong combat effectiveness, they are a minority after all.

The emperor was furious, "This is the Jingwei who protects me? Could it be that they are all waste of corpses and vegetarian food? A bunch of wine bags and rice bags!"

The British Duke quickly comforted him, "Your Majesty, although Shangzhi Jingwei's combat effectiveness is not strong, but its guarding ability is acceptable. According to Chen's humble opinion, the Jingwei can be withdrawn and guard the camp with all its strength. Bandits."

The emperor also knew that now is not the time to pursue responsibility, so he nodded, "Sure."

The British Duke immediately issued an order to recall all the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Guards. The Jinyi Guards guarded the core area, and the other guards defended the outskirts of the camp. Aid, don't love to fight.

With this arrangement, the situation has improved.Under the rectification and training of the chief officer, the three major battalions of the capital have strict discipline and strong combat power. They have achieved results as soon as they are dispatched, killing many bandits, but their own casualties are very small.

In the evening, the soldiers who went out to hunt the bandits returned to the camp one after another, and they all got something.The emperor was very satisfied when he heard the battle report, "General Su, General Jiang, and General Shi all lived up to my expectations. I am very relieved to have them guarding the capital." If you stay, you must return to the capital as soon as possible.

The British Duke felt a little worried, "The gangsters are fleeing and changing frequently, and I always feel that they seem to have plans."

The emperor was confident, "There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals in the three major battalions. Ai Qing doesn't have to worry too much."

The British Duke nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty is wise."

Seeing him withdraw, the emperor turned his head and asked the emperor's grandson beside him, "Zhong'er, what do you think of today's battle?"

Nan Gongji thought for a moment, then calmly replied: "Sun'er thinks that these bandits were used as spearmen to lead the battle."

"Well, it's a good idea." The emperor smiled, "Then tell me, who will be behind the scenes?"

Nan Gongji pondered for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "The feudal lord whose land is in the north and who has the closest relationship with the emperor's grandfather is Emperor Kang's uncle. The purpose can pay any price and use all kinds of means. Suner thinks that he is most likely to have the heart of disobedience, and he has been working for this for many years, and now he suddenly launched a trouble, regardless of the consequences, and wants to complete his work in one battle." After finishing speaking, he felt uneasy looked at the grandfather in front of him.

The emperor laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy, "Okay, okay, you are indeed my good grandson."
