Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 189
Wang Zhi casually said:
"Okay! Let's go tomorrow, and you all go down and prepare!"

He turned back to Qin Qing and said:

"Qin Qing, you should also inform Ding Baifeng and the others to set off first and find out the exact time and place when the Tatars entered the customs!"

Qin Qing nodded, walked out of the room, and went all the way to Ding Baifeng's barracks.

On the second day, the entire playground was filled with more than [-] soldiers of the new army. On the general platform, Wang Zhi stood on the edge of the platform, followed by Shen Lian, Pei Lun, and Qin Qing.

Wang Zhi was wearing cavalry armor. For this expedition, Wang Zhi decided to become a cavalry soldier to experience the blood of leading a charge on horseback.

Looking at the soldiers in the playground, Wang Zhiyun said loudly:
"Brothers, it is said that the Tartar cavalry is the best in the world, and there are rumors that it is invincible!"

Pausing for a moment, looking across the rifle battalion and artillery battalion, Wang Zhi said disdainfully:

"I really want to see, is it the horses of the Tartars, or the rifle bullets and shells in your hands?"

Turning his gaze to the cavalry battalion next to him, he pulled out the Chun Jun sword from his waist with a 'choke' and said loudly:

"I, I want to know more, is it the swords of their Tartar cavalry, or the cavalry under Lao Tzu's command is more outstanding in the world!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhi pointed the Chunjun sword at the sky and shouted loudly:

"Kill~~~Kill~~~Kill~~~"

The blood in the hearts of the soldiers off the field was instantly ignited by Wang Zhi, and they all raised their weapons and followed Wang Zhi loudly, shouting:

"Kill~~~~Kill~~~~Kill~~~~"

The people behind Wang Zhi couldn't help shouting too.

On this day, the officials, soldiers, and common people in the capital heard the shouts from the new army barracks. It was also from this day that the reputation of the invincible new Ming army began to spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty and the Tartars.

After the atmosphere in the entire barracks reached a climax, Wang Zhi raised his hand to suppress his voice, held the right hand of Chunjun Sword, waved it in the direction of the barracks gate, and said in his mouth:

"The cavalry battalion is the vanguard, let's go!"

Hearing Wang Zhi's order, Shen Lian jumped off the platform, clasped his fists and saluted:

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, he took the reins from the guards next to the command platform, jumped on the horse, rode the horse to the front of the cavalry camp, and said in a deep voice:

"Respect the king, the governor general, the cavalry battalion is the vanguard, let's go!"

All the cavalry battalion soldiers shouted in unison:

"Yes!"

A group of cavalry rode out of the gate of the barracks, followed by the rifle battalion, the artillery battalion, the cook battalion, and the doctors accompanying the army who were also riding on horseback.

Here is a special account of the four military doctors. They are all 30-year-old strong young doctors who were recruited from various places. After Xu Yizhongli, they came to the military camp.

Wang Zhi took out Zhuo Yifan's support staff and found someone to re-typeset and print Western medicine and surgery books in traditional Chinese characters, and handed them to the doctors.

These doctors, after reading the book, immediately stayed in the barracks willingly and became military doctors of the new army.

If you want to ask why they are willing to stay in the military camp, is it because there are many trauma patients in the military camp in the world? After staying in the military camp for a few years, their surgical skills will not improve by leaps and bounds, and they will become a generation of great doctors in the future. !
Wang Zhi agreed to their request, and assigned ten of them to each of them as apprentices to learn the first aid measures for dealing with trauma on the battlefield.

In this way, Wang Zhi led the new army to rush all the way to Shanhaiguan, an important border pass.

On the road, Ding Baifeng's scouts and secret agents came constantly to report information about the Tartars.

Over the past few days, after sorting out information, Wang Zhi discovered that the Tartars were gathering troops from various banners, preparing to enter the Ming Dynasty along the Shanhaiguan Pass to plunder people, grain, gold and silver.

Counting the time, we will be able to arrive at Shanhaiguan tomorrow!Wang Zhi was thinking about how to deal with the guard at Shanhaiguan, who was Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, who was then the commander in chief.

For these two people, Wang Zhi didn't like it at all.

Although the Wu family father and son are brave and good at fighting, they are greedy, and the soldiers and people under their rule are deeply exploited by them.

Every year, he reached out to ask the imperial court for a large sum of money, but he never took the initiative to intercept the tartars who entered the pass, allowing them to rob and kill people in the pass. With dozens of heads, he reported to the court and asked for a reward.

After reading the history books, Chongzhen knew that it was Wu Sangui who led the Qing army into the customs and occupied the Han people.

I have always been bitter about the Wu family father and son, but I have no legitimate reason to take them down. After all, it is commonplace to drink the blood of soldiers and exploit the people.

Now, it is really a time when the Ming Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles. If they are taken down under such an excuse, it will definitely make the people of the ruling and opposition parties panic.

However, the Ming Dynasty did not have enough reserves of civil and military officials, so they had to stay in Shanhaiguan temporarily, hoping that the master would find a reason to dismiss the Wu family and his son this time.

Wang Zhi knew what Chongzhen was thinking, and he was thinking:

Once the new army defeated the Tartars who had entered the customs, the Wu family father and son would definitely not be able to resist, and they would go out to snatch the military meritorious heads, and then he would have an excuse to deal with them.

After making up his mind, Wang Zhi didn't intend to let the new army stay in the Shanhaiguan military town, and planned to leave the customs to fight the Tartars outside Shanhaiguan. As long as the Wu family and his son saw that there was an advantage to take, the two would definitely come out and shoot Tartar head, when the time comes, hehe~!

After camping for a rest at night, Wang Zhi called the team members, Shen Lian and Pei Lun into the tent, and said straight to the point:

"Shanhaiguan military town, I plan not to enter further, and I don't want to have any contact with Wu Xiang. All the new troops will camp outside the customs after passing the military town, and face the Tartar army directly!"

The two of them, Shen Lian, are veterans. When they heard Wang Zhi's words, they immediately reacted. Shen Lian said hesitantly:
"My lord, don't you want Mr. Wu to take a share of the action?"

Wang Zhi nodded and said without cutting:
"Hmph, the Wu family father and son are just moths crawling on the body of the Ming Dynasty and sucking blood. I have wanted to deal with them for a long time! I have no excuses or opportunities. I don't enter the Garrison Town because I don't want to give them a chance to make friends, so I can deal with them! Okay! Now, go arrange the manpower on duty at night, let's go to rest!"

Everyone led the order to go down separately, Qin Qing said to Wang Zhi:

"Wang Zhi, do you really say that Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing army because of Chen Yuanyuan?"

Hearing Qin Qing's words, Wang Zhi was quite surprised, and said casually:

"Fart, those are all excuses. Throughout the ages, there has never been a man in power who would make such a big sacrifice for a woman!"

Qin Qing hesitated, and then said:

"You mean to say that Wu Sangui had long planned to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?"

Wang Zhi nodded and said:
"Yes! After Li Zicheng and other rebels invaded the capital, Wu Sangui knew that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted! And among the forces at that time, the Manchu Qing was the most promising force to sit on the throne! That's why Wu Sangui surrendered to the Manchu Qing and led the Qing The army entered the pass, captured the imperial city, and took the merit of being a dragon!"

Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Qin Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"That's good, I finally feel relieved!"
