I have never seen a soldier of the guard who can be so uniform and move in unison, as if a person is beating a drum, which is shocking.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yan felt relieved. At least on the surface, these wolf cavalry guards were very powerful, and they had a little more confidence in Li Mu's going out to conquer the Jurchens.

Seeing Li Mu riding a royal horse to the front of the wolf cavalry guards, Zhang Yan ordered: "Eunuch Wei, declare the decree."

"Here."

Wei Zhongxian walked to the jade platform according to the imperial decree, and shouted at Li Mu: "Commander of Jin Yiwei Li Mu accepts the decree."

"Sir, accept the order."

Li Mu got off his horse and knelt on the ground on one knee, and the three thousand wolf riders behind him also got off his horse and knelt on one knee to receive the order.

Similarly, on the jade platform, except for Zhang Yan, everyone else had to follow the etiquette and listen to the order.

After a while, Wei Zhongxian unfolded the imperial decree in his hand and recited solemnly.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: There is a family named Jurchens in the land of Liaodong...Since it was attached to it, it has always been favored by the emperor..., but now the Jurchens don't want to repay their kindness, and they repeatedly commit crimes. The border gate of the Ming Dynasty..., very angry..., being an official of the Ming Dynasty, but vainly caring about the grace of heaven..., being a family that will never be recruited,....Specially order Jinyiwei to go out to punish the traitors, and to uphold the country's prestige. …”

"Chin this."

The content of the entire imperial decree is mostly in classical Chinese, but Li Mu understands the general meaning. The previous content is about a race called the Jurchens in Liaodong. When they did not belong to the Ming Dynasty, their life was hard. It was almost on the verge of extermination. , and then belonged to Daming, all this changed. Daming not only gave the Jurchen a place to live, but also gave it to officials. The frontiers of the Ming Dynasty are really unbearable, so today the queen mother and the emperor will send Jin Yiwei to go out to deal with these betrayed Jurchens.

After the imperial edict was finished, Wei Zhongxian yelled again: "Commander Li Mu of Jin Yiwei stepped forward to receive the edict."

"Minister, receive the decree." After speaking, Li Mu got up and walked towards the jade platform, respectfully accepting the imperial decree from Wei Zhongxian's hand.

Seeing Li Mu who had received the imperial decree, Zhang Yan was a little worried, and once again, as in the Renshou Palace, she asked softly: "Li Aiqing, the Ai family is waiting for your triumphant return."

"Queen Mother, I obey! I will return in triumph." Li Mu glanced at Zhang Yan, who was a little excited, and then at Princess Zhou who had just got up. The cavalry went.

The civil and military officials who got up also congratulated at this time: "Congratulations to Mr. Li for leading the Jinyiwei banner to victory."

Back in front of the royal horse, Li Mu turned on the horse, drew out the imperial knife from his waist and shouted: "For the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to conquer the rebellion of the Jurchen, once the country's prestige is upright, ten thousand victories!"

At the same time, the wolf cavalry guards who had just got on their horses followed Li Mu and pulled out the sabers from their waists, shouting in unison: "Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The voice pierced into the sky and echoed over Fengtianmen.

The reason why Li Mu did this was not to boost morale. The wolf cavalry composed of biochemical humans did not need to boost morale in this way. He was showing the military power of the wolf cavalry to the civil and military officials on the jade platform, and also told Zhang Yan For the two beauties, Princess Zhou and Princess Zhou, their husbands will surely come back with victory.

After congratulating him, Li Mu waved his hand to signal the wolf cavalry guards to pull out their battalion, leave Fengtianmen, and head towards Shanhaiguan. There were two large flags in front of the team.

One stroke was written to Jinyiwei Wolf Cavalry, and the other stroke was written to Li Zi.

As Li Mu led the Wolf Riders to leave the capital, the history of the Ming plane officially began to change, and the fate of the Jurchens will also undergo unpredictable changes.

Chapter 264 The Old Shanhaiguan

Shanhaiguan, one of the northeast passes of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, is regarded as the starting point of the east end of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and is known as "the first pass in the world".

It echoes with Jiayuguan thousands of miles away and is famous all over the world.

The circumference of Shanhaiguan City is about 4 kilometers. It is connected with the Great Wall, with the city as the gate. The city is 14 meters high and 7 meters thick. There are four main gates and various defensive buildings.

Passing Shanhaiguan is outside the customs, and Liaodong is also the northeast boundary of later generations. The so-called breaking through the Guandong, Shanhaiguan is the starting point. As long as you pass the pass, you will start your journey.

Inside the pass is the endless and vast land of the Central Plains. This is the last guarantee of the Liaodong border in the Ming Dynasty. As long as you pass through the Shanhai Pass, the entire fertile land of the Central Plains will be in front of you, and you can drive straight to the capital of the Ming Dynasty within a day.

Therefore, Shanhaiguan has the reputation of "the throat of the border county and the guarantee of the capital" in the Ming Dynasty.

The importance of Shanhaiguan to Ming Dynasty is related to the survival of Jiangshan.

Shanhaiguan in September is already cold and windy, and the cold wind that blows from time to time pours into Boling, making people shrink their necks and look up at the sky.

The usually bustling gates of the gates are unusually deserted today, there are no caravans at the gates, horse teams are waiting in line to exit the gates, and there are few people on the streets, presenting a withered scene.

It's no wonder this is the case.

The officials who can be named in the entire Liaodong territory, who did not know what was going on today, under the leadership of Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong economic strategist, arrived at the Shanhaiguan in an orderly manner, and put on a welcoming look.

For the sake of safety, the surrounding streets were lined with Liaodong frontier troops, all staring at each other. At a glance, you can see that they are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield and have been stained with blood, which invisibly gives people a great pressure.

Under this kind of situation, whoever has a brain problem will rush to walk on the street, no matter how rich those merchants are, they dare not venture out of the customs now. It's really not worth the candle.

In the case of raiding eight Shanxi merchants a year ago, Shanhaiguan was also considered an important arrest location. The scene at that time still vividly recalls these merchants in Liaodong.

Some firms still rely on the investigation of the cases of the eight Shanxi merchants, and Jinyiwei ransacked the homes of the eight Shanxi merchants, resulting in a large number of vacancies in Liaodong merchants, so that other firms have the opportunity to grow.

Up to now, the caravans of Daming companies who have gone to Liaodong have to bear in mind one thing, that is, the military supplies that are strictly prohibited from being exported by the imperial court cannot be taken privately.

Little did they know that after the investigation of the eight Shanxi merchant cases, the number of Jinyiwei in Liaodong did not decrease at all, but showed signs of increasing.

It can be seen that the imperial court attached great importance to the private possession of prohibited materials by the caravans leaving the customs. These companies did not want to cause the close relatives of the Central Plains to be exterminated for the sake of high profits for a while.

That's a mind-boggling business, you can't do it.

For the merchants of Ming Dynasty, the best thing is to do business in the long run.

.....

Maybe it's been a long time, these military generals guarding the border of Liaodong, a little impatient, glanced at Sun Chengzong who was standing in the first place, and began to chat in a low voice.

"What do you think the imperial court is thinking? The queen mother is really serious, why did you send the bullshit Jinyi Weiti to Liaodong? It's okay for them to bully the people of Ming Dynasty, and fight with the Jurchens? Isn't it just bragging? Adding chaos to our Liaodong frontier defense, isn't this a problem for our Master Jinglue. mianhuatang.la " After finishing speaking, the general stretched out his fingers, pinched his nostrils where the hairs were exposed, and looked at the intersection ahead where there was still no one.

Another military commander glanced at Sun Chengzong in front of him, and then said to this unabashed colleague: "Shut up your stinking mouth, do you want to cause trouble for our Lord Jinglue? Don't you know that Jinyiwei has many spies in Liaodong?" ?”

"Just those Jinyiwei? They rush into the barracks to take people? They have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's courage, and just took the opportunity to get the batch of food brought by the Jinyiwei to relieve all our soldiers in Liaodong."

...

Sun Chengzong stood in front of the curtain to close the curtain, and heard all the whispered discussions behind him. He had no choice but to listen to the voice if he didn't want to.

If he is really like a literati, with a soft voice, he is really not a general.

However, he also wondered why the imperial court sent Jinyi Weiti to defend the Liaodong border. It was out of concern for him that they sent such a team of Jinyi Weiti to restrain him. ?

Maybe something happened in the court?He didn't know it.

Since he was in charge of Liaodong Economic Strategy, several major changes have taken place in the Ming court, and he can get less and less news from the court.

It is very difficult for him, who is a protégé and former official all over the world, to know some news about the imperial court's decision in advance, so he can only passively sit on the frontier of Liaodong and obey orders.

The good thing is that several major changes in the imperial court have comforted him, a loyal minister who has the Ming Dynasty in his heart, as if he has seen signs of the revival of the Ming Dynasty.
