Chapter 88
No sleep for one night.

One night, Zhu Houzhao thought a lot.

I didn't expect that being an emperor would involve both internal and external troubles. Although the Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than 100 years, it is still in a precarious state.

If there is no strong means, I'm afraid I can't even keep the throne. This man's heart is sinister, and sometimes it really catches people off guard.

Datong Mansion!
On the hillside in the distance, the leaders of Oala, Tatar and other tribes all appeared on the battlefield.

Looking at the city in the distance, densely packed Ming soldiers are blocking the attack of the frontline troops.

Compared with the previous defenders, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is astonishing, and in terms of attack and archery, they are orderly, far from comparable to the previous defenders.

Upon seeing this, the leader of Wala said with a gloomy face, "What's going on?"

"How could these reinforcements arrive so quickly?"

When he said these words, the first thing that came to his mind was the Nine Borders Town!

"Yes, it must be the defenders of the important town on the Nine Borders!"

The leader had deep eyes and a cold expression on his face, looking at the defender of the Ming Dynasty from afar.

Among the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Ling Luoshi also gave the final death order.

"Kill all of them, leave no one behind!"

As the subordinates of General Terrible, there are almost no weak generals. They fought bravely one by one, one against ten.

shhhhhh!
A cold light suddenly appeared, and a sense of icy cold passed through the throat of the enemy general.

The cavalry leaders of the foreign clan who were about to retreat fell to the ground one by one.

At the same time, on the battlefield, the sound of brutal killings came out one after another.

Within tens of feet, there was a cold glow, and flying knives slashed across the throats of the enemy soldiers like ghosts, reaping their lives.

The leader of Wala looked at this scene of tragedy and was shocked in his heart. The powerless corpses fell to the ground after a long time after the cold light passed.

Under the training of Ling Luoshi in the early years, this Ming army has become extremely fierce, and now it is fierce and fearless in battle.

Although he had never fought Ling Luoshi head-on before, his reputation had long been known. This is simply not a human being, he is simply a devil in the world.

At this time, a thousand-man cavalry team was wandering around the border of the Ming army, waiting for an opportunity to fight the autumn wind. After slaughtering a village, they hurried back to the grassland while their army was empty.

But even so, these thousand-man troops were discovered by Ling Luoshi, and he sent cavalry to kill many of them.

That night, tens of thousands of corpses from the entire Wala tribe fell to the ground.

"Hey! With an army of more than 20, even a small Datong Mansion can't be defeated, what a loser!"

"Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

"Hurry up and withdraw the troops!"

Among the Oala and Tatar tribes, their leaders gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

The reinforcements that appeared in Datong Mansion immediately broke their original plan, and they seemed to feel that things were not that simple.

They also know how much preparation they have made and how many sleepless nights they have spent for this day.

The leader of Nawara said with a gloomy face: "These Ming troops have already occupied the right time and place, and now our army has missed the best opportunity!"

"However, the fact that there are not many generals in the Ming army does not mean that we will have no chance."

"Our plan is to lengthen this battle line, first massacre the surrounding villages, and bring all these Ming troops into the city, so as to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

After the leader of Wala finished speaking, he looked at each other with the other tribal leaders present, and all the leaders nodded silently to express their agreement.

Seeing that no one had any opinions, he said solemnly to everyone: "So, let's give an order!"

"The frontline troops began to retreat, leaving some scouts to continue to detect the movements of the Ming army."

"This is just their front-line troops, and the person leading the troops is by no means their general."

"Everything went according to plan."

The battle on the front line is in full swing.

In Zijin City, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao is also intensively deploying this protracted battle.

Civil and military officials are discussing this matter.

Zhu Houzhao knew a fact. Emperor Hongzhi said that the war is actually about food and money. Generally, wars should not be launched lightly.

Now, this sentence has been confirmed in Zhu Houzhao's body.

On the dragon chair, Zhu Houzhao said with a dignified expression: "Minister of the Ministry of Households, how much money is there in the treasury that can be transported?"

Liang Chu took a step forward, cupped his hands and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the property of corrupt officials confiscated earlier, and the silver taels donated by ministers, except the navy, firearms, border defense and other daily expenses, are now in the treasury. There are only about 3000 taels left."

"However, a new tax policy is currently being implemented. I believe that the monthly tax collection will not empty the treasury."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "That's very good. The money in my hand is enough to fight a good battle with Wala."

Li Suide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I have sent additional people to manufacture firearms and ammunition. If they have been successfully manufactured, I will send them to the front in batches."

"This new type of iron ship has also begun to take shape. I believe that within a week, the first warship will be launched."

"okay!"

Zhu Houzhao said something loudly, with a smug look on his cheeks.

The efforts of this period of time finally paid off. He originally planned to use troops against Oala when the national treasury was more abundant, but he didn't expect that they would go to war against Daming first. If this is the case, then come!

Now, Ming Dynasty already has an army of one million, and new firearms are also advancing by leaps and bounds. These are Zhu Houzhao's confidence.

However, coastal defense is now a weak area.

If there is no strong coastal defense equipment, it is estimated that the enemy will invade and Daming will be in a passive position.

Zhu Hou took care of Li Suide and said: "Li Qing's family, the new sea front is related to the safety of our Daming coastline, and Ai Qing must not slack off in the slightest!"

"I understand."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and said majesticly: "I have received the news yesterday that the reinforcements rushing to the Datong Mansion have rescued the Datong Mansion."

"At the same time, General Fear has led an army to help, and will arrive at Datong Mansion in the same day. The crisis at the border has been resolved, and I have no worries."

After finishing speaking, all civil and military officials showed excited expressions on their faces.

These civil servants always impeach this and impeach that on weekdays. It can be said that they are a group of scholars supported by the court for nothing.

An army of 30 against 20 in Wala is enough to crush the enemy in terms of numbers alone.

Moreover, the foreign enemy army did not have any firearms at all. All they relied on were sharp corners and superb riding skills. How could they win in front of big firearms?
Even the firearms seized before cannot compare with Daming's new firearms. Under such a situation, Daming is already sure of victory.

This is the confidence of the emperor!

 Immediately on the shelves, the mood is very disturbed.

  Thousands of words can be condensed into one sentence: write a good book.
