Zhou Shixiong took the imperial edict and said to Emperor Chongzhen with a smile, "Emperor, I can't do anything. Why not let General Man and General Zu be my deputy." Zhou Shixiong spoke up and said, "Of course Emperor Chongzhen would not refuse. As for Yuan Chonghuan's feelings, who cares?

Man Gui smiled. Anyway, he was Zhou Shixiong's deputy, and now he was promoted to the position of Wu Jingluo. What's wrong with being unhappy? Zu Dashou looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a gloomy face. Seeing that the other party had no reaction, he had to bow and salute, "See Zhou Jingluo."

Since he has made a martial arts strategy, of course, he has to understand the situation of the battle these days. What Zhou Shixiong wants to know most is why Hou Shilu's soldiers suddenly mutiny. "Sun Commander, how could the Xuanfu soldiers suddenly collapse? The officials have always been very curious."

Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao looked at Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue beside him. Bi Ziyan smiled bitterly, "Mr. Hou said that the soldiers of Xuanfu have never had enough food since they arrived in Beijing, and the soldiers were hungry and committed acts of great rebellion."

"Emperor, aren't there enough food?" How could I fight without food? Zhou Shixiong asked Emperor Chongzhen with a straight face.

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head awkwardly, "There is no shortage of food, but the ministers suggested that I don't know when the capital will be in trouble, so I will save some time in case of emergency."

Zhou Shixiong's face suddenly turned dark, "Your Majesty, soldiers fight with their lives. How can they fight against Jiannu if they can't even eat enough? Who gave this advice to the emperor? I think this person should be Jiannu's spy. If you want to use this method to weaken our army's combat power, your heart will be punished!" Zhou Shixiong waved the spy's big hat, and the faces of the ministers in the hall were immediately dissatisfied.

"Zhou Aiqing's words are a bit too much. This suggestion is not at fault. It is inevitable that the court's governance will focus on the long-term. The people below should also understand the difficulties of the court." Emperor Chongzhen was not a fool, and it was unreasonable to say that it was not worthy of giving the soldiers a full meal. However, this suggestion was a joint suggestion of several ministers and was approved by him. If it was really as Zhou Shixiong said, the proposal was a spy from Jiannu, wouldn't it mean that Emperor Chongzhen was also blinded?

"Your Majesty, I'm collecting so much food and silver for war. Is it easier to stock up if I have money and food to the soldiers? "Is it easier to use after Jiannu captured the capital?" Zhou Shixiong said this so ruthlessly. Emperor Chongzhen stood up suddenly and stared at Zhou Shixiong with his eyes as if he was about to eat him.

"Bold!" Wang Chengen took a step forward and shouted, as if scolding Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Shixiong looked at Wang Chengen and found that he was constantly winking, probably asking him to apologize to Emperor Chongzhen.

"The emperor calms down. Lord Zhou is also worried about national affairs. If he is not right, please forgive me." Zhou Shixiong spoke to all the soldiers. Man Gui and Zu Dashou took a step forward in a tacit understanding and pleaded for Zhou Shixiong. Sun Chengzong also stood up and stole the blame, "Long live, Lord Zhou is young and energetic, and it is normal for him to think that things are not comprehensive enough. Long live, don't take it seriously."

Zhou Shixiong and Emperor Chongzhen were staring at each other. No matter what others thought, he was just trying to save his life. No matter who threatened his life, Zhou Shixiong would not let him go. "Emperor, although Lord Zhou spoke too aggressively, he was reasonable. How can this danger last for the long term?" Mei Zhihuan, the governor of Gansu, stood up to support Zhou Shixiong, and diverted Emperor Chongzhen's attention.

"Mr. Mei's words are not bad. Although Jiannu's army is more than 100,000, and the capital is as solid as a golden soup, there is no need to break the city. Now, as long as the army in the capital is united in fighting the enemy, it will be able to drive away Jiannu and return the capital to peace." Shen Yongmao's perspective is different from others. He saw that the capital was safe. Jiannu attacked the capital only for a gesture. As long as there was food in the capital, he was not afraid of Jiannu's siege.

Zhou Shixiong understood that the ministers had differences on the use of food. Shen Yongmao was seeking stability, and it didn't matter what else they did as long as they were kept in the capital. Emperor Chongzhen also accepted this suggestion. "Emperor, since the army's food and salary are insufficient, then cut off some of the soldiers." Zhou Shixiong felt that fighting with Emperor Chongzhen was useless, so he thought of a solution.

"Master Zhou, now the disarmament will make the morale of the army unstable and cannot be done." Sun Chengzong was the most familiar with the situation and quickly spoke out against it. Those big bosses in the Beijing camp dared to move, and if they did not move, they would be disarmament of their martial arts. Sun Chengzong didn't dare to think about it anymore.

When Zhou Shixiong saw that this was not possible or not, he could only take a step back, "At least, the cost of General Man and General Zu, otherwise he would not be able to fight!" This request was not excessive. Emperor Chongzhen nodded in agreement, and no one else wanted to offend Zhou Shixiong, a new celebrity. Originally, Emperor Chongzhen planned to keep Zhou Shixiong and chat, but unfortunately Zhou Shixiong was so angry that he lost his mood and announced his retirement. Zhou Shixiong ignored the good or bad mood of Emperor Chongzhen, and invited Man Gui and Zu Dashou to leave the city and go to their camp to take a look.

There was nothing good about Mangui. The only thing that interested Zhou Shixiong was Wu Weiying, the former Shenshu Camp, Guan Gongshun Hou. Wu Weiying was in his twenties, with a short, strong and black face. He could tell at a glance that he was a naturalized man. In terms of grade, he was higher than Zhou Shixiong. The Wu family of Gongshun Hou started from the early years of Yongle. At first, he was named Gongshun Bo. Later, he was promoted to Gongshun Hou through the Tumu Fort. In order to commend Gongshun Hou for several generations of loyalty and courage, Emperor Hongxi gave Gongshun Hou hereditary three thousand camps, which is the current Shenshu Camp.

Emperor Chongzhen merged the Shenshu Camp into the cavalry camp, but did not revoke the Shenshu Camp number. As a result, this Gongshun Hou also became the general of the cavalry camp and the highest-ranking general. "The lower-ranking official Zhou Shixiong has met the Wu Hou." Zhou Shixiong and Wu Weiying were about the same age as Wu Weiying, of course, they were not as good as others in terms of qualifications. It is necessary to be polite as soon as they meet.

"Zhou Jingluo has killed his subordinates. We are generally of great importance in terms of rank. In terms of official positions, you are the governor and I am the governor. In terms of errands, you are the manager and I am the manager. I am the governor and I am the governor." Wu Weiying replied with a full ceremony, then calculated with Zhou Shixiong with his fingers, and finally concluded that he was younger than Zhou Shixiong.

"Wuhou, what if we have a fair relationship?" This Meng man's temper is more refreshing than Man Gui, and Zhou Shixiong likes it.

"Since Mr. Zhou said that, I will suffer." It seems that Wu Weiying had inquired about Zhou Shixiong, even calculated his age, and knew that he was a little younger.

"Wuhou, I heard that the three thousand cavalry under your command are amazing in combat power. Can you send a few people to my Super Biao Battalion to be instructors?" The combat power of the Shenshu Battalion has passed the test of Jiannu, and no one in the capital dares to say that it can compare with them. Ning Yuan's army, known as the strongest, did not stand up and say that it is stronger than Shenshu Battalion.

"There is no problem for Zhou Hou to speak. I send a few generals to save Zhou Hou." Wu Weiying patted his chest and promised it. Zhou Shixiong thanked him repeatedly. Zu Dashou, who followed Zhou Shixiong, was uncomfortable all over. The people in the cavalry camp looked at him with a look of his enemies. He was not afraid of what these people would do to him. It was certain that he was upset.

Zhou Shixiong also discovered this situation, "Everyone, the emperor ordered my official to command the army in the capital, but the only ones who can really take action are you and Ningyuan Army. I know there is a dispute between you, but I hope these disputes will be kept until you drive away Jiannu and then count. I hope you will give you face." Zhou Shixiong's reputation has spread throughout the capital, defeating 4,000 Jiannu with three thousand remaining soldiers. The captured more than 3,000 prisoners. Who dares to compete with him with such a record?

If it was a time, it could be explained by luck. Emperor Chongzhen sacrificed twice in a row in the past few days, and the captives and heads were sent by Zhou Shixiong. If it were on the Nine-sided land, some people would suspect that these heads and captives were suspected of fraud. Where can I find people to fake them in the capital? For a time, Zhou Shixiong's martial honor was close to Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others, and some even compared him with the founding fathers.

No matter how Zhou Shixiong wins the battle, the real record is enough. When fighting with such a person, the soldiers have the courage to charge forward because this is an ever-winning general. He can bring victory to the soldiers. Victory means rewards represent interests. If you can bring everyone to make a fortune together, you will certainly be convinced by everyone.

Zhou Shixiong was kind to him. The generals said they didn't dare. Zhou Shixiong didn't care whether it was true or false. He asked someone to go to Ningyuan Army to call out several major generals in the army and hold a meeting together. Wang Chengyin's withdrawal of troops in front of the formation had been put on prison, which was an explanation from Emperor Chongzhen to the Beijing Camp. Wang Chengyin was imprisoned, and Yuan Chonghuan wrote an inspection in the Forbidden City. The only generals of Ningyuan Army who could attend the senior military meeting were Dai Chengen, the Dusi.

While waiting for the people, Wang Zhixin led a monk to find Zhou Shixiong, "Marty, this is Lord Shen Fushen, who is good at making chariot firearms. Long live his life and Lord Shen formed a chariot firearm camp, and now it is under the jurisdiction of the Marquis." Emperor Chongzhen gave Zhou Shixiong gifts, probably because he apologized for what happened yesterday. Zhou Shixiong thought to himself, as if he really felt like a savior.

"Sir Shen, where is your chariot camp station?" Since it was given away, Zhou Shixiong took it away without hesitation and planned to go and take a look after it. Zhou Shixiong had his opinion on the development of firearms. The Ming Dynasty firearms he had seen were not very good, and Guangxi was a humid and rainy subtropical area, which made Zhou Shixiong have no idea of ​​developing firearms. Now he has the opportunity to see the highest level of firearms in the Ming Dynasty, and he is also very interested.

"After Master Zhengli's words, the chariot and firearms battalion of the Xiaguan is still trained in the East School Field and cannot go out of the city to fight for a while." Shen Fu was very honest and did not boast about how powerful his troops were. Not to mention that he was not qualified to say such things in front of Zhou Shixiong, he would not dare to say such things even in the face of Shenshu Camp and Ningyuan Army.

"It doesn't matter, I just go and see." Zhou Shixiong wanted to watch the fun, but of course he didn't care whether his troops could fight. While speaking, Dai Chengen came. Zhou Shixiong winked at Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu stepped forward and announced loudly, "The military officers above the third rank will stay, and others will retreat."

The content of the military discussion is very simple. Should Ningyuan Army and the cavalry barracks join forces? In fact, Zhou Shixiong saw the hostility of the two generals just now, he didn't want to talk about this. But if he didn't join forces, fighting with tens of thousands of Jiannu just based on the strength of more than 4,000 Dubiao Battalions and 3,000 Shenshu Battalions, fighting with tens of thousands of Jiannu was equivalent to dying. He had already placed the seven thousand cavalry in the Jing camp into the garbage dump and didn't want to mention it. However, Zhou Shixiong spent some time thinking about how to successfully join forces.
