I am the king of the dead

He changed his armor, tied his leggings, stomped his feet vigorously, and took his sword. Although he may not be good at fighting, he wants to go together.

"He Zongxian, Jurchens appeared on the corner of the street, and they came to hunt them down." Ye Bushou, who was fully armored, stepped on heavy footsteps.

"Damn!"

"It came just fine."

He Zhang pulled out his sword and said loudly: "Commander Ma, order all the piers and towers, and follow me to fight!"

"Yes!" Ma Shuo put on his visor.

The battle did not last very long, and it was a one-sided victory.

No one was injured except Mandulu.

Because Mandulu has no armor.

Every guard on this mission is equipped with Mingguang Armor, which cannot be pierced by swords. Even He Zhang killed a Jurchen with a sword.

This is Daming's equipment advantage.

Armored men have always been the key to victory or defeat on the battlefield.

Back then, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty, dared 800 people to attack Dou Jiande and [-] people, because of the Xuanjia army he led, everyone wore armor.

Yue Fei dared to ride [-] riders in Zhuxian Town to finish Yan Zongwang's army of [-] soldiers. He brought a big victory and drove Wanyan Zongwang to the north of the Yellow River with his armored Beiwei army.

The reason why Yuan Bin dared to charge into the formation to arrest the three brothers of the Qu family was because the people he led were all men in armor. If it weren't for this, he would definitely not dare.

Wearing armor is an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield.

He Zhang and the rest of the crowd, like krypton gold warriors all over their bodies shining with golden light, won the victory like unparalleled mowing grass.

"According to military regulations, this should be considered a battle." He Zhang asked a little out of breath.

"Yes." Ma Shuo was checking the wear and tear of the equipment, looking helplessly at the excited He Zhang.

"According to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, Jurchens and Xilu are rewarded with fifty silver coins for each head, right." He Zhang pursed his lips and looked at Ma Shuo expectantly.

"Yes." Ma Shuo exhaled, told himself not to be angry, and said in a friendly manner.

He Zhang said incredulously: "According to the Ming Dynasty's rule, if you kill an enemy in battle, you will be beheaded one level, and you will be rewarded with a merit card, right?"

"Yes." Ma Shuo finally realized that the nagging of these scholars was really scary.

I don't know that His Majesty listened to them nagging all day, and his ears didn't get callused?

"I killed one!" He Zhang stood up suddenly, raised his head halfway and said, "I really killed one, and the commanding officer saw it!"

Ma Shuo finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "This is the seventh time you have said it, are you annoying!"

"Isn't it just a brand? As for it? As for it?"

"It's the seventh time, Zongxian He, please forgive me, please!"

"Stop nagging!"

He Zhang said very solemnly: "Quite so!"

Mandulu raised his bandaged hand and said, "I also killed one. According to the Ming system, can I also have a brand?"

Although he didn't know what the specific use of that brand was, seeing how solemn the angel was, he also knew that it was a good thing.

"It depends on what your Majesty wants." Ma Shuo looked at Mandulu with some sympathy. He didn't have armor and was still charging forward. He was the only one who was injured this time.

According to His Majesty's temperament, this Mandulu's top card may not have much hope.

Chapter 562 The Great Emperor's Heart of Benevolence

"Commander Ma, I've always had a question in my mind, and I want to ask you, or you." He Zhang took a jug of good wine and threw it to Ma Shuo, who wanted to talk to Ma Shuo.

Because Mandulu participated in the killing of the Jurchen envoy, all the aftermath was handed over to Mandulu, and Mandulu did a good job.

After He Zhang had nothing to worry about, he wanted to find an answer, the reason why His Majesty preferred it so much.

"You can't drink." Ma Shuo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty won't allow you to drink alcohol if you don't accept the mission at night."

He Zhang was stunned, and pointed to the wine jug on Ma Shuo's waist. It was good wine, and he asked in surprise, "Then you take a wine jug with you, and everyone will bring it at night."

"Farewell wine." Ma Shuo held the corner of his mouth and smiled and said, "If you know that you are going to freeze to death, you can pour this pot of wine down, and you won't feel uncomfortable when you freeze to death."

"From His Majesty."

He Zhang's expression froze instantly, he looked at Ma Shuo dully, he understood everything.

Understand why Ma Shuo has such privileges, he can freely enter and leave the forbidden area of ​​Ming Dynasty, the lecture hall and the imperial study room of Tai'an Palace.

That is in exchange for life.

"This wine was originally made of lead and gunpowder. When it couldn't last, he loaded it and gave himself a gun. It was clean and neat, and it fell into the hands of the Oara people." Ma Shuo patted the wine on his waist. Pot, full of memory look.

Why did Sai Yinbuhua recognize Wang Fu at the beginning, but why did he not accept it at night?

It is because of Ye Buhua's energy, Sai Yin Buhua has never seen it on other people.

Ma Shuo shook his head and said with a smile on his face: "Da Ming clenched his fists completely, and when he was about to punch Wala to death, the Wala ran away, so this task is not so dangerous."

"Your Majesty always checks the military newspapers, especially the ones that are not received at night. He never misses them. Later, His Majesty found out that most of the people who did not receive them at night were actually frozen to death or lost their way. So he prepared an extra serving of wine for us."

"Maybe you think His Majesty is a king of subjugation, but we never think so. Your Majesty loves us. Don't you scholars have something to say?"

"A king regards his ministers as brothers and sisters, and the ministers regard the emperor as his heart."

He Zhang sat beside Ma Shuo, looked at the bright moon in the sky, opened the lid, took a sip and said, "Respect the strong man!"

Looking at He Zhang's appearance, Ma Shuo said with a smile, "Your Majesty treats our soldiers better than His Majesty himself. We are all rough men and don't understand the truth of you scholars."

"You don't know, every time His Majesty pays his salary, he will let the Tiqis visit the barracks, but if they find someone drinking the blood of soldiers, they will investigate thoroughly."

"Can you understand what His Majesty's thorough investigation means?"

He Zhang took a sip of wine and said, "I know that His Majesty is still thinking about the remnants of the Confucian Mansion who are far away in the country of Wa. How long has it been going on, and I have no plans to let them go."

"With His Majesty, Zhang Feng, the servant of the household department who is the third rank, was even taken to the top case."

"Not to mention the case of the abnormal female household that is being investigated now, His Majesty is almost inquiring about it every day, which has made the Ministry of Criminal Affairs very nervous."

"That's right." Ma Shuo said with a smile: "The strict inspection of military pay will allow us to live like ordinary people, and it is His Majesty who gave us."

"Yu Shaobao would also intervene every time. Once, His Majesty and Yu Shaobao had a quarrel."

He Zhang frowned and said, "Your Majesty and Yu Shaobao are still quarreling? I thought that you are a sage and minister, and your Majesty should be concerned about Yu Shaobao being in charge of the leader, and Yu Shaobao should be concerned about the master of high achievements."

"Usually." Ma Shuo was the commander of the emperor's palace guards. Knowing that His Majesty and Yu Shaobao often quarreled, he said with a smile, "The couple still quarrel. Isn't it common for Your Majesty to quarrel with Yu Shaobao?"

"Sometimes His Majesty persuaded Yu Shaobao, sometimes Yu Shaobao persuaded His Majesty, but most of the time, His Majesty persuaded Yu Shaobao."

"Good fight, good fight!" He Zhang nodded and said, "The more Yu Shaobao and His Majesty quarreled, it proved that there was no gap between His Majesty and Yu Shaobao."

"Yu Shaobao knows the world with his uprightness. There are too many, too many things he is not used to. Even though Yu Shaobao is strict with himself and lenient to others all day long, there are too many injustices in the world."

"If Yu Shaobao doesn't quarrel with His Majesty, then Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

He Zhang understands court, if Yu Shaobao and His Majesty are polite all day long, then that is the real danger.

As the head of all officials, Yu Qian sat in that position, the conflict between the imperial power and the minister's power was the first to bear the brunt, and it was unavoidable. If there was no quarrel, it would prove that Yu Qian and His Majesty were at odds with one another.

"What do you want to ask?" Ma Shuo looked at He Zhang with a strange expression.

He Zhang brought the wine this time because he wanted to ask some gossip about Tai'an Palace and the Martial Arts Hall?

Ma Shuo and He Zhang are comrades-in-arms who resist and kill the enemy, and their relationship is completely different from the past.

"Why?" He Zhang stared at Ma Shuo closely, and said something inexplicable.

He Zhang added: "Why do you go through life and death like this? I heard that Yebu accepted 280 people back then, and less than half of them have survived to this day."

"As a result, there was a make-up call the next year, and there were many applicants. Because there were too many applicants, most of them were screened out."

Ma Shuo said quite proudly: "If you don't accept it at night, those who break into the dens of dragons and tigers have no real skills. If you can enter, I will not accept you at night?"

"As for why?"

Ma Shuo said with a little confusion: "Actually, there is no reason. The reasons are all kinds of strange."

"For example, I just wanted revenge. I am from the Xuanfu. When Wala went south, my whole family was killed by the Wala people. I was in the army at that time. It would be better to go to the grassland to kill the enemy if I survived."

"There are those who take revenge, those who make meritorious deeds, some who want to kill people, some who want to make money, some who want to get ahead, and some who gamble. There are all kinds of things, and everyone has their own reasons."

"However, as time went by, those thoughts at the beginning faded away. We didn't know why for a long time. It was His Majesty who told us why."

"Your Majesty said: We are desperate for the lights of thousands of families behind us, because there is also a bright light of my family inside."

"Your Majesty told us why we are desperate."

"In the beginning, most people didn't believe it at night, they just talked about it, but the prairie is cold and there are no people for dozens of miles, so we have to say something to ourselves."

"It's like burning incense and praying to Buddha. After a long time, we believe it ourselves. The key point is that what His Majesty said is right. We are guarding the thousands of lights behind us."

He Zhang suddenly said: "There are good and bad people in this person, and there are traitors even if you don't accept him at night!"

"Your Majesty should not be so partial."

He Zhang's words were somewhat disrespectful, but Ma Shuo didn't care much.

After all, His Majesty doesn't pay much attention to this, as long as He Zhang doesn't scold others in front of His Majesty, and does his errands well, His Majesty will even pretend that he didn't hear.

Ma Shuo's lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Yebushou also had traitors, of course, and the most famous ones were Wang Fu and Wang Yue.

Wang Fu defected to Oala with a grudge, and Wang Yuexin, a Jinshi, also ran away.

Of course Ma Shuo knew what Wang Fu and Wang Yue were doing, but the courtiers didn't know that this matter was confidential and Ma Shuo would not tell it anyway.

Even if, He Zhang is his comrade in arms who resisted and killed the enemy.

"You guys are so strict that you don't shut up at night. You can't even cheat." He Zhang looked at Ma Shuo without saying a word, as if acquiescing to what he said, and could only take a sip of wine.

Ma Shuo is a rough man, and he attaches great importance to Ye Bushou's reputation. He Zhang used Ye Bushou's words of traitors to provoke Ma Shuo, and naturally wanted to prove something.

Unfortunately, even so, Ma Shuo never mentioned anything about Wang Fu.

"Your Majesty is indeed right. You scholars have crooked intestines. There are too many convoluted tricks. You can't believe a word!" Ma Shuo said with a sip of tea and sneered.

Right now He Zhang is more like a soldier, drinking from a big bowl, while Ma Shuo is more like a Confucian scholar, drinking tea from a small cup.

"I really want to know something. After finishing this errand and returning to Beijing, you will know. But by then, you probably won't ask any questions. You already have the answer in your heart." Ma Shuo didn't answer directly. question, but said something ambiguous.

He thought about it seriously and then said: "It's what His Royal Highness Xiang said, it's about me having me but not me, it's very applicable."

Mandulu's own mansion was covered in blood, he deliberately changed the bloody clothes on his body before going to the king's tent in Ning Wang's mansion.

"The matter is settled, and the foster father doesn't have to go to the Jurchens to be humiliated. If the Jurchens want revenge, they will only seek revenge from Daming. The angel has taken the blame." Mandulu was wearing a cloak, and he was still a little cold.

Wu Geqi naturally knew everything, and he said worriedly: "What did you pay? Changshengtian said that there is no food in the sky that will fall into your mouth."

Mandulu thought for a while and said, "My life?"

He immediately shook his head and said, "No, my life is not that precious."

"Father, have you ever wondered why Daming Chen Bing Yanshan did not attack, but sent He Zongxian to Da Ningwei?"

Wu Geqi was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know, is it because of the weather? The emperor is always cautious."

"Brother, have you thought about it?" Mandulu looked at Tuotuobuhua again.

This day and two nights were uneventful, and the voices of shouting, beating and killing were relatively short, and Mandulu took full responsibility for the aftermath outside.

Mandulu's question confused Tuotuobuhua.

Tuotuo didn't think for a moment and said, "Are we more submissive?"

Mandulu looked at Agadorji again, but he did not consult the second brother.

His second brother can't let out any good farts either.

Mandulu sat up straight and said, "Father, brother, have you read the letters of Tuogu and Mark seriously?"

"Actually, the Great Emperor doesn't want a war."

"My meaning is easily misunderstood. The warlike emperor is not afraid of war, he just doesn't want to start a war."

"Because after the war, he had to watch his bravest fighters bleed and die, and his loyal fighter families faced family ruin."

"Your Majesty has seen too much in the 14 years of Zhengtong. Everyone in the capital wears sackcloth and filial piety, and every family is plain."
