"The auspicious time has come, let's go."

"The commander has an order, and the auspicious time has arrived. The whole army sets off!"

"The commander has an order, the auspicious time has arrived, and the whole army sets off..."

On the first day of the August 1st, outside the south gate of Haicheng, countless flags fluttered in the wind, five or six thousand war horses standing in a row, and sometimes sniffing. More than 15,000 model soldiers were like sharp javelins, forming a red tide as regular as steel.

With Xu Changqing's order, the huge red tide gradually turned into a fierce red dragon.

The flying high "Haicheng Hou", the big flag of the character "Xu", and several flags of the sun, moon, and waves.

Xu Changqing was wearing silver armor and a golden helmet, riding on his red mane, facing the already slightly cool morning breeze in early autumn, and was also a little moved for a while.

A new era has set sail.

In fact, according to the strength of Haicheng and the Model Army at this time, the journey to Nanjing will undoubtedly be much smoother, save costs and time will be faster.

But this is the world. Many things are not just about these things, they seem to be very important.

This trip requires land, and you have to take land!

We must let the world feel the momentum of the Emperor Ming, the momentum of his Xu Changqing, and the momentum of the model military men!

Unlike the other time and space where the Southern Ming army was defeated like a mountain and destroyed, and went to Nanjing like a devastating defeat.

At this time, because of Xu Changqing's existence, Nan Ming, no, more precisely, it should be called Da Ming!

Because Xu Changqing and the Model Army are still in Haicheng, Kaifeng has not lost either, and the Ming Dynasty still controls many areas in the north and has a huge influence.

However, such as Nanjing, Jiangnan, Huguang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, they are still under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Even though the world has lost its total rule for nearly five months.

However, although the men were all very imposing, Empress Zhou and Zhu Cilang were also full of expectations, at the forefront of the team, Emperor Chongzhen's huge black coffin and the white linen on the bodies of the powerful porters carrying the coffins around him, had a somewhat sad atmosphere.

But at the same time, this is Xu Changqing's military achievements!

It was precisely because Xu Changqing and his men sacrificed their lives that they were able to snatch Emperor Chongzhen's body from the refugees, and did not let the bones of the late emperor fall into the hands of the thief.

"Master General, Liu Zeqing and Liu Junmen have been waiting ten miles away for a long time..."

The team had just left Haicheng five or six miles away, and Wang Xi, who had now been promoted to the first deputy commander of the personal military camp, came over to report quickly.

"Um."

Xu Changqing nodded in an orderly manner, "As planned as planned."

"yes!"

Wang Xi held his fists respectfully and quickly pulled out his horse and left.

Although the team was huge at this time, the trip was just a variety of carriages, with 4,000 carriages, and countless mules and horses. The marching speed of the model army men was unquestionable. Even during the holidays, a group of model army men had to carry a 50-mile cross-country every ten days. If it could not be completed effectively, it would not be a joke. Thirty or fifty military sticks were just commonplace.

Soon, Xu Changqing saw Liu Zeqing's greeting team not far away. There were almost three or four thousand people, and there were not a few horses.

"Your Majesty, you are so late for the humble position, Liu Zeqing is here, he is too late for the time being..."

The coffin of Emperor Chongzhen had just appeared in sight, and Liu Zeqing and others had already knelt down, only more sincere than their dead father, and kowtowed desperately.

When the team actually came to them, Liu Zeqing and others were already full of tears.

"Mr. Marquis, it's all because of the uselessness of low positions, it's all because of the uselessness of low positions..."

As soon as he saw Xu Changqing's ceremonial guard coming, Liu Zeqing kept sticking his butt up to the sky, and suddenly he became clever and hurriedly crawled to Xu Changqing's side and kowtowed desperately.

"Liu Junmen, how can you blame you for this? Poor Emperor..."

Xu Changqing said a few words and couldn't continue. He shook his head and tears continued to fall.

Just like the joke in later generations: "Don't think that the actors are in the entertainment industry, and the real actors are all..."

The people on both sides cried and finished the show. Liu Zeqing hurriedly said respectfully: "Mr. Marquis, I brought 50,000 taels of silver and 3,000 elite cavalry this time. In addition, I also stored some food and grass in Cao County. As long as the Bo Ye gave the order, I will die without hesitation!"

Or Liu Zeqing is smart, this guy is definitely unambiguous when he is time to take the team.

Xu Changqing nodded in a regular manner and wiped his tears, "Liu Junmen came from afar to welcome him, and his loyalty can be seen in the sky. I admire him very much! Let's go and see the Queen and the Prince first."

Liu Zeqing couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly followed Xu Changqing.

Soon after, with Xu Changqing's recommendation, Liu Zeqing hurriedly came again, knelt down in front of the carriage of Queen Zhou and Zhu Cilang, and burst into tears.

Empress Zhou and Zhu Cixuan were prepared at this time and were busy comforting each other carefully, and looked harmonious with the monarch and his subjects.

However, a hint of indifferent sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth not far away.

What other creatures in this world can be more hypocritical than humans?

But in the game, even Xu Changqing must abide by the rules of the game!

It is early autumn, and the weather is neither hot nor hot, which is very suitable for travel. Except for the sun at noon, everyone should take a break and avoid it. The efficiency is still very good at other times.

Based on this efficiency, Haicheng can be reached in just over twenty days from Nanjing.

After comforting Liu Zeqing, Xu Changqing had three thousand elite cavalrymen, which made it easier to inspect and deploy. He ignored other social events and focused on his thoughts.

At this time, because the overall situation was preserved, although the Ming Dynasty's military system was corrupt, the big framework of the roots was still there.

Along the north, Xu Changqing, Huang Shu, including Wang Tingchen and Liu Zhaoji of Denglai, not to mention it, there are still many powerful people starting from the southeast.

The first one to bear the brunt are Zuo Liangyu and his son who are entrenched in Xiangyang.

The Zuo family father and son have always claimed to have "200,000 troops". During the war in Zhuxian Town, Xu Changqing had already felt the moisture. However, Zuo Liangyu is still very capable. In the past few years, Xu Changqing has no idea about his foundation. He is probably not as good as the water blowing number on the books, and it is definitely not much different.

Furthermore, Liu Zeqing, who has been entrenched in Cao County and has been operating in Shandong for many years.

This guy is not only very intelligent, but also came out of the Liaodong system back then. Just looking at him, such a wise cavalryman, it is not a loss to be named a uncle.

In addition, there are Liu Liangzuo, the Guangchang Bo from Luzhou and Huang Degong, the Jingnan Bo from Huaiyang area, who are all cruel people!

Including Wang Pu, who was still in Datong at this time, Gao Jie, Li Guozhong and others who fled to Ningxia, were still under the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

Including Fengyang, Nanjing and other defensive forces in various places, even if it is not included in the Zheng family, it is not difficult for the Ming Dynasty to gather a million troops on paper at this time.

Among these forces, Liu Zeqing has taken practical actions to surrender to Xu Changqing's disciples.

Not to mention Wang Pu, he just couldn't get through for a while.

In addition, Wang Tingchen, Liu Zhaoji and Xu Changqing also had a life-long friendship.

Even Zuo Liangyu has a nominal in-law relationship with Xu Changqing, and Zuo Liangyu is also one of Xu Changqing's "Old Mount Tai".

When Xu Changqing went to Nanjing, the only things that Xu Changqing needed to be most careful were Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong, and the local forces in Fengyang and Nanjing.

Today's itinerary was very smooth. In the evening, Lijin County, which had been vacant for several months.

Xu Changqing did not continue to rush and rested as planned.

In the evening, while drinking with Xu Changqing, Liu Zeqing also revealed a lot of news to Xu Changqing that he had control.

For example, some accurate information from Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, and Huang Degong.

It is similar to Xu Changqing's estimate. Zuo Liangyu recruited tens of thousands of troops in the past few months. Even if he could not reach the 200,000 army, it would probably be the same.

However, Zuo Liangyu was still very clear at this time and did not dare to go against Xu Changqing directly. His main energy is to guard against Dashun Country.

Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong are both players who can produce three thousand elite riders.

Don’t think that there are very few three thousand elite riders.

This is definitely much higher than raising tens of thousands of infantry soldiers.

At least they have to own tens of thousands of war horses!

How can the combat power, coverage and effectiveness of cavalrymen be comparable to infantry?

Moreover, Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong both have some naval forces!

After listening to Liu Zeqing's explanation, Xu Changqing thought for a long time and said, "Old Liu, can you speak with Huang Degong?"

Liu Zeqing was waiting for this moment, smiled and patted his chest and said, "Mr. Marquis, I'm going to tell you that when I was in Liaodong, Bei Zhi had some friendship with Huang Degong. This guy seemed to be in the south for many years, but in fact he was from Kaiyuan. Don't worry, I will go to him tomorrow morning!"

Xu Changqing smiled and nodded: "Old Liu, I will report your loyalty to the Empress and the Crown Prince, truthfully!"

After seeing off the excited Liu Zeqing, Xu Changqing came to Queen Zhou's tent and smiled and said, "How about you, can you still adapt?"

Queen Zhou was in good condition. She was very happy to see Xu Changqing coming over, but she was only happy for a while and then lowered her head aggrievedly: "When I was in Haicheng, I hoped to go to Nanjing quickly and protect the prince to ascend the throne. But, I really wanted to leave, but I couldn't say anything in my heart..."

As he said that, Empress Zhou looked at Xu Changqing's eyes faintly.

How could Xu Changqing not understand her deep meaning? But he could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "Don't think too much. When everything stabilizes, I will go to Nanjing to see you if I have time."

Queen Zhou spat, then bit her red lips tightly, and said softly, "Just, can't you really stay in Nanjing..."

Although I knew that the test of Queen Zhou's words accounted for a lot of proportion, Xu Changqing was also feeling a little moved by the scene and shook his head and said, "How can the barbarians settle down before they were destroyed? I have already been sorry for the previous emperor once, and I can't be sorry for him again for the second time."

"Pooh."

"The dog can't spit out ivory."

Queen Zhou couldn't help but spat coquettishly: "If he knew, he would understand my choice. By the way, Changqing, Concubine Yuan, did you really not take her? How should I explain this when I go to Nanjing? Also, Yu'er is in a bad mood these days, so you should spend more time with her."

Xu Changqing sighed: "Don't worry, I will handle these things well. Can we still suffocate our urine to death? The key now is that you must keep it steady!"

As he said that, Xu Changqing smiled and hugged her slender waist: "The fate of all of us is under your control now."

Empress Zhou cheered up when she heard this, with her beautiful eyes firmly in her eyes. How could she have the love of her children? "Changqing, don't worry, I won't let you down!"

But after saying that, she suddenly softened her softly again and said in Xu Changqing's ear: "You go and comfort me first, and I'll come to find you later..."
