Chapter 519 Carriage

The sea breeze blew. Read М

The voices of the Ningjin Army soldiers were swept up to the sky with the wind.

It lasted for a quarter of an hour before the cheers gradually stopped.

But the shocked expressions on the soldiers' faces did not show any news.

Since the Beidi occupied Ningjin Dusi, the land of Ningjin Dusi no longer belonged to them.

The fertile land they once cultivated was directly allocated to the Beidi people.

And that was the land cultivated by their ancestors.

"It seems that you are eager to get your own land back. In this case, from now on, stop complaining and train with all your strength. If you fight the battle in vain, don't talk about the land, and don't take your lives." Zhao Xu reminded him again after saying everything he should say.

Then he let the soldiers disperse and train in their own training grounds.

As soon as the soldiers of Ningjin Army left, Yang Zhen said with emotion, "Your Highness, you came just in time. They didn't believe me when I told them, but they no longer doubted me when you said it yourself."

Zhao Xu nodded, "This king has also considered this."

Then, he looked at the Ningjin Dusi opposite, "General Yang, I know that the blame for the battle ten years ago was not yours, but even so, I'm afraid you can't get over it, so this time I hope you can get what you want back."

Hearing this, Yang Zhen suddenly knelt down.

Although the King of Yan asked Bai Shang to be responsible for training the Ningjin Army.

But he gave him the command of the Ningjin Army.

After the training is completed, he will officially take over the Ningjin Army.

Originally, he was dead in his mind and thought that he would never be able to lead the army to avenge the previous shame in his life.

But the King of Yan put a hope in front of him again.

"Your Highness's kindness, I will never forget it."

"Get up, it doesn't matter whether you forget this kindness or not. What I want is a Ningjin army as fierce as a tiger or a wolf. Just don't let me down." Zhao Xu helped Yang Zhen up.

Yang Zhen nodded heavily.

After saying this, Zhao Xu went to inspect the artillery positions on the island with Bai Shang and Yang Zhen.

These artillery positions are all cast in concrete.

Each artillery position corresponds to a cannon.

There are a total of 120 artillery positions around the island.

Especially on the side facing the Ningjin Dusi, there are a total of 60 artillery positions.

Now, 70% of the artillery positions have been completed, and the remaining 30% is estimated to be completed in half a month.

After all, the craftsmen he dispatched were all from the government office, which was basically a professional construction team.

Back to the general's mansion on the island.

Zhao Xu thought of something and said to Yang Zhen, "Bai Shang is about to harass Goryeo with Zhou Yi. Can you handle the training of Ningjin Army?"

"Your Highness, I think it's no problem. I have taught General Yang everything I can." Bai Shang said.

Except for returning to Yanzhou to mobilize troops and prepare to deal with Goryeo after receiving orders.

The rest of the time he basically stayed on the island.

Since Yang Zhen used to be his superior, he did not hide his shortcomings.

After seeing firearms again, Yang Zhen was also in a state of eagerness to understand.

He humbly asked Bai Shang for advice all day long.

Now he basically understands the use of firearms and some tactics.

Moreover, he has experience in leading troops and has commanded an army of more than 100,000.

After mastering it, he can accept it quickly.

"Your Highness, you can test me." Yang Zhen was afraid that the King of Yan would not believe it.

"No need. Trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them. This is the principle that I understand. In this case, the training of the Ningjin Army will be handed over to you. This period of time is just right for the generals and soldiers to get used to each other so that they can fight in the future." Zhao Xu smiled.

If Yang Zhen can take on the responsibility, it would be the best.

Because in his imagination, the Ningjin Army is not just these 30,000 people.

He hopes that Yang Zhen will fight more and more soldiers in the war with Beidi.

Keep rescuing the Dasong people of the Ningjin Dusi and incorporating them into the Ningjin Army.

At the same time, it is best to fight to support the war and not consume too many resources of Yanzhou.

In simple terms, it is like Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

He gives them a basic base, and the rest depends on them to make their own way.

Stay on the island for one day.

Zhao Xu returned to Yanzhou on a warship on the afternoon of the second day.

Chrysanthemum Island is too small. It only takes two hours to walk from south to north. There is really nothing to see.

Return to Yancheng from Leting.

Zhao Xu just returned to the palace when Xu Ke arrived.

"Your Highness, I just got the news that Ma Han has kidnapped Princess Changle and is now heading to Yancheng." Xu Ke said.

Zhao Xu was surprised, "So smooth?"

Xu Ke smiled, "There was no movement in Yanzhou, so they were a lot more careless, and this time Ma Han did not set out from Qinzhou, but took a detour from Jinzhou, went out of Tongguan, ambushed at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, and caught them by surprise."

"Oh?" Zhao Xu was slightly surprised, "Ma Yuan and Mo Kuan just let Ma Han openly destroy the marriage?"

"Your Highness, Ma Yuan and Mo Kuan have always been the pro-war faction in the court, and they hate the marriage, so it is understandable that they cooperate with Ma Han."

Zhao Xu nodded, of course he knew this.

But what he cared about was the different meanings revealed from it.

Ma Yuan and Mo Kuan, like Yang Feng and Mo Di, were loyal ministers to Zhao Heng.

Now, they actually did this behind Zhao Heng's back, which shows that their minds must have changed during this period.

The most likely cause of this change was the death of Mo Di and the exile of Yang Feng.

These two events are chilling.

"I didn't expect that saving Princess Changle would bring me such a reward." Zhao Xu said secretly.

In this way, he doesn't have to worry about the coal problem anymore.

If they can help Ma Han, they are naturally helping him.

After saying this, Xu Ke went back.

Zhao Xu didn't go back to the bedroom, but sat on a chair in the meeting hall to think.

The main reason why he saved Princess Changle was because when he first crossed over, Tianxiang Tower exposed the Zhang family's conspiracy.

He had no other thoughts about Princess Changle herself.

After all, the marriage contract was a rather nonsense thing for him who came from the present.

He wouldn't care as much as people in this era.

So, he was happy to know that Princess Changle was saved by Ma Han.

But for Princess Changle's coming to Yancheng, he only felt that it was like protecting Yang Feng.

Nothing else.

After all, in his memory, the Ninth Prince only met Princess Changle once.

Moreover, like Xu E, before he figured out the purpose of the existence of Tianxiang Tower.

He had to always be a little vigilant.

But Princess Changle promised to help him with Tianxiang Tower.

He was expecting her to provide him with some important information.

Thinking of this, he turned and left.

These were actually just minor episodes for him.

In his opinion, the most important thing was Yanzhou itself.

In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks were nothing but illusions.

…

At this moment, on the grassland.

Temuta was leading a team of cavalry eastward.

At the end of the team, there was a strange carriage.

This carriage was wrapped in canvas on all sides.

There was a 20-meter-long rope connecting the carriage and the horses.

A Beidi soldier urged the horses pulling the carriage forward with fear on his face.

At this moment, a team of cavalry came from afar.

When they arrived in front of Temuta, they said something.

"Damn it!" Temuta was furious.

The cavalry was talking about the kidnapping of Princess Changle.

"King Yan, do you really think that we, the Northern Di, are negotiating peace because we are afraid of Dasong? Humph, you must be very proud now, but you won't be proud for too long." Temuta glanced at the carriage, a cold look flashing in his eyes.
