And to test people's hearts when the situation is most uncertain is to give these people their last chance.

Huang Zongyi and Fang Jinnan took the imperial decree and left directly, especially Huang Zongyi had already confirmed in his heart that this was the beginning of Zhu Youjian's preparation for a big move in the court.

After great chaos, there will be great order, which is the style of a wise king.Huang Zongyi decided to seriously help Zhu Youjian complete the feat of the adjustment of the court. This trip to Jiangbei has made him recognize some shortcomings in the court.

In the meeting room, Zhu Youjian's meeting is still going on.

"Zuo Aiqing, please take a trip to the capital after the war, what do you think?"

"I am very confident, and I promise to return a property ten times more than what it was three years ago." Zuo Maodi's face was full of excitement. When he was asked to go to the capital as a negotiator, all the courtiers agreed, but he was the only one who opposed it.

It's different now, Zhu Youjian feels that this historical glory should be given to him, so that Zuo Maodi will no longer be as miserable as in history.The victory on the negotiating table was achieved on the battlefield, and after Zhu Youjian didn't believe it, Jin could still be awesome.

"How is the situation in Dingyuan?" Zhu Youjian looked at Li Yan and asked.

The entire Dingyuan battle was in charge of Li Nian's Black Banner Army and Li Yan's Luzhong Army.This is Zhu Youjian's intentional favoritism, giving up the biggest and easiest piece of fat to Brother Li Yan.

"Our gendarmerie has already entered the city, and Li Chengdong has been tied up. But there are too many people, and it may take three days just to maintain military discipline and disarm."

"You take all the cavalry, the Black Banner Army, and the Luzhong Army to form the Northern Expedition Army, and take all the carriages and luggage to chase the Jin soldiers north. You must drive them across the Yellow River. In addition, send people to block the gap in the Yellow River. I can't Forget that we still have many heroes who are still suffering."

"I suggest that Li Guo and Gao Yigong in Hubei can join forces to capture Nanyang in one fell swoop and recover the entire territory north of the Yellow River." Li Yan stood up, looked at Zhu Youjian gratefully and said.

Giving the most captives and the credit for regaining most of the lost land in Henan to the Li Yan brothers is in itself an affirmation and reward for their independent defense of Shandong for more than two years.From this point of view, it is impossible for Zhu Youjian to let Li Dingguo get all the military exploits alone.

This is not a military card at all, this is a completely political card.

"Quasi-playing. But first bring back my heroes."

As soon as Zhu Youjian's words fell, everyone sat up straight at once.Everyone knows who the emperor is talking about. Since the beginning of the war, that army has stood firm for more than 100 days and nights.

Since the breach of Huangkou, Xuzhou has become an isolated island in the flood, and it is hard for anyone to imagine what kind of situation it is.

Zhu Youjian feels that although history has changed, Yan Yingyuan's achievements are surprisingly similar to history.The significance of the Jiangyin incident is not how many Jin soldiers they defeated, but that there is a flag of the Ming army that has been standing firm in the shadow of failure.

And in this time and space, it is still standing in a flood, so the flag of Ming Dynasty stands firmly.

Everyone is looking forward to what kind of glory the emperor will give to the Xuzhou defenders. This is also Zhu Youjian's political card, and it is also an opportunity for the emperor to reward his followers for political propaganda.

Chapter 4 Eleven: The Last Face

Tushan, south of Huaiyuan, is a small hill on the south bank of the confluence of Guohe and Huaihe Rivers. According to legend, it was the place where Dayu met princes and there is a Dayu Temple on the top of the mountain.

It has been three days since Duoduo retreated here with the last [-] full and eight banners. There is no food and grass, and he can't advance or retreat. The mountain has already been surrounded by tens of thousands of Ming troops.

The Jin soldiers who could surrender gradually became the prisoners of the Ming army, and the remaining people were the Eight Banners soldiers who could not surrender at all.

Li Dingguo did not launch a large-scale attack at all, he just surrounded the Jin soldiers, and then watched the Jin soldiers surrender to the Ming army in large numbers all the time.

This is how the encirclement slowly shrinks, and then shrinks around the hill.

"Did you catch Kong Youde?" Zhu Youjian was more curious. It's normal for Duoduo to die for Hou Jin, but Kong Youde is too lazy to catch him until now.

"No. I wonder if he will stay on the mountain like Duoduo?" Li Dingguo couldn't understand why Zhu Youjian kept asking him about Kong Youde.

Of course he didn't know how famous the two famous kings in history were. Nikan had already died in his hands, and Zhu Youjian didn't want to take his credit at all.

Zhu Youjian still hoped that Kong Youde would die in the hands of Li Dingguo.

"No, there are Eight Banners soldiers on the mountain now, and Kong Youde is not the same kind of people as them. You go to the prisoner camp and look for it, and leave it here to me."

In fact, Li Dingguo might kill Dodo with his own hands, which is what a soldier desires most.It's enjoyable to think about, the final duel of the two coaches, in a man's way.

However, the nominal commander of the Ming army is the emperor, and he dare not compete with Zhu Youjian for this reputation.The emperor allowed him to take command of this rare battle in ancient and modern times, which has already given him enough face.

After dismissing Li Dingguo, of course Zhu Youjian still has to solve Duoduo himself.For the last of these people, Zhu Youjian is not shameless enough to continue starving them to death.As a winner, if you don't have this courage, you are just a hypocrite.

As the Tartar general who was stained with the most Han blood in history, Zhu Youjian still planned to kill Duduo himself.

"Guard camp, get off your horse." Ji Biao roared, and a thousand of Zhu Youjian's personal guards dismounted and lined up.

Don't think that Zhu Youjian would foolishly want to fight Hauge one-on-one, that is the birthday star who hanged himself because he thought he had lived too long.Zhu Youjian intends to leave dignity to the other party, but he does not express that he wants to give these people a chance. At least the one-on-one fight is unfair to his subordinates. The battle is over, and there is no need for them to die in vain.

"Send someone to tell Duo Duo that we will send out the same number of people, use the weapons of our Ming soldiers to kill them, and ask them if they will do it, if they dare?" Zhu Youjian glanced at the mountain contemptuously.

Soon, Dodo replied.Duoduo is very confident. He feels that 1000 people are against 1000 people, and the Eight Banners will surely win. Even if the Ming army has a bomb that can explode, it will not cause too much loss to the Jin soldiers.

"Kill them!" Zhu Youjian took a new musket from Ji Biao's hand, with a slight smile on his face.These were the first flintlock guns with rifled wires and Minie bullets.

Zhu Youjian did not intend to equip this kind of purely experimental equipment on a large scale at all, but as a theoretical understanding of rifling, it is an indispensable process in the history of firearms development.Therefore, a batch will still be manufactured on a small scale, and 1000 of the 300 people hold this kind of musket in their hands.

Those who can be selected into Zhu Youjian's personal guard camp are not only kung fu masters, but at least they are the backbone of combat.And those who can stay and accompany Doduo to die must be the elite Tartars, and the two sides are evenly matched.But after adding weapons, the devil knows what the result will be.

The Ming army marched in a three-stage formation in a serious manner, while the Jin soldiers quickly established a defense. They were very skilled in using the terrain, and they looked like veterans who had been fighting all year round.

However, when the Ming army entered a certain distance, the formation changed rapidly, and the so-called line-up shooting formation quickly turned into a three-three offensive team with small teams covering the front line respectively.

The Jin Bing couldn't get used to it all of a sudden, because they had never seen such an attacking method. The Ming Army seemed slow, but the advancing speed was always steady.First send a team to advance quickly under the cover of firepower, and quickly establish defenses after arriving at the predetermined location, followed by another team immediately.

The Ming army all trotted forward with cats on their waists. If the Jin soldiers thought that these Ming soldiers were easy to bully, then they would quickly become the targets of other Ming troops, especially the new-style flintlock guns of the Ming army. Far and accurate.

Although the rifled flintlock is slow to reload, it is really deadly.

Ordinary flintlock guns, rifled miniguns, big lifting rods, grenades, etc., the firepower is mutual protection.Although in Zhu Youjian's view, the tactics of these subordinates were still immature and full of flaws, they still stunned Jin Bing when he made his appearance.

They are especially not adapted to this kind of teamwork offensive tactics.

The mandarin duck formation is also a combat tactic with small groups of stragglers, but the mandarin duck formation is to defend during the attack, that is, to prevent one's own side from being attacked by the enemy's individual soldiers during the attack.

However, the Tazi soldiers on the opposite side obviously knew the Ming army's mandarin duck formation very well, so Zhu Youjian's current small squad attack is different from the mandarin duck formation. self exposure.

Zhu Youjian sat leisurely at the foot of the mountain and drank tea. The attack on the mountain had been going on for an hour, and the gunfire had been advancing steadily.The Ming army also had casualties, and after a while, the wounded were brought down, and Zhu Youjian would go over to have a look.

Unless Zhu Youjian invents ak now, casualties will be unavoidable.Or encounter a single-minded enemy commander like Zeng Gelinqin.

When the charge sounded on the mountain, Zhu Youjian put on his armor again and was carried up the mountain by a war horse.

Dodo was in great pain. He could only watch helplessly as the soldiers around him died quickly one after another.The Ming army directly beat the Jin soldiers to the point where they could not fight back.

In the end, when there were about a dozen golden soldiers left around Duoduo, the attack of the Ming army stopped, and it was almost over at this time.

"Are you Chongzhen?" Duoduo saw the man who was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"No, I'm Zhu Youjian."

"What's the difference?"

"There's a difference you never know."
