I am the king of the dead

"Our march has not been delayed much, but the impetuosity in the army is getting stronger and stronger, and something will happen."

Yu Qian's words still carry a lot of weight in the army. The only purpose of this tactic is to repeatedly harass and harass the Ming army's morale, and then look for opportunities to take advantage of.

"So the beating is for nothing?" Shi Biao said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Since he wants an opportunity, let's give him an opportunity." Shi Heng said with narrowed eyes.

Shi Heng is extremely professional in the matter of fighting. If the Wala people continue to harass him like this, the morale of the Ming army will be shattered by this harassment one day. It's anticlimactic, and those scholar-bureaucrats in the court may not know how to laugh at them.

Since he wants to take advantage of the opportunity, then give him the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhu Yi frowned and said: "Commander, there are only [-] people in the Wala people, and there are only three or five people in each attack. On this vast grassland, three or five cavalry pawns, like stones into the sea, will not be collected at night. Even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can't catch them."

"I have a different opinion."

It is even more difficult to catch the [-]-strong team of the Ara Zhiyuan, which is the only military force of the Ara Zhiyuan. Is your own [-]-strong team coming up?

Definitely not.

"Oh? Tell me." Shi Heng somewhat agreed with Zhu Yi's statement.

Shi Heng didn't have any displeasure with Zhu Yi's different views, and he didn't have any grudges because Zhu Yi expressed different views in front of all the generals.

Even Yue Fei and Yue Shaobao, who used soldiers like a god, had to elevate accounts to discuss matters every time they fought, and listened to the generals' suggestions before making a decision. Shi Heng didn't think he was better at fighting than Yue Fei, who was rarely defeated.

Only then did Zhu Yi speak: "Ara Zhiyuan seems to be trying to use a method with minimal loss to make our Ming army stop and return to the court, and this small-scale harassment should not be just to see if there is any opportunity to take advantage of it. If the bait is not big enough, Arazhiyuan will not take the bait."

If the bait is too large, it will make the whole Ming army panic, and finally make a fuss.

The bait is too small, and Ara Zhiyuan has only a little courage, how could he take the initiative to attack?

Yu Qian thought for a moment and said: "Then catch him with grain and grass, 20 shi."

"Food and grass?" Zhu Yi turned pale in shock. This food and grass matter is of great importance. Zhu Yi has read how many military books, and almost every case of battle with less victory is not in the context of the two words "grain, grass and water source". It's really big enough, but if it messes up, the Ming army will be in charge immediately, and there is no room for loss for a moment.

20 shi, if this is eaten by the Oirats, the Northern Expedition will be stopped.

"I know what Commander Zhu is worried about." Yu Qian said with a complicated expression: "20 shi is just less than a quarter of what His Majesty prepared for the army, and I'm talking less than a quarter of what the Eastern Route Army paid. .”

According to the budget, for this Northern Expedition, 30 shi was enough for the Eastern Route Army. His Majesty prepared 90 shi abruptly, 70 shi for the Central Route Army, and 50 shi for the West Route Army.

According to His Majesty, there is more than enough.

The generals in the Chinese army's tent only knew that they were carrying a lot of food and grass this time, but they never expected it to be so much.

"This..." Zhu Yi widened her eyes and said in a daze, "Your Majesty has given too much."

Wealthy and generous emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Yu Qian said with a smile: "Your Majesty's meaning is very clear. The generals and sergeants of the Ming Army can make mistakes on the front line, but the Ming Army will use its tyrannical national power to crush Wala like a straw. People, show me the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."

If the money and food are not used for armaments, can it be used to help the army?

In order to raise military supplies, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could even take out his kidneys for four thousand bottles of Baibao Pills to be squeezed by Ran Siniang at will.

It can be seen that the Northern Expedition is full.

The corner of Shi Heng's mouth twitched and he said: "Wars in the past dynasties have never used grain and grass as bait. We have fought in a way that has never been seen before."

The morale of the Ming army seemed to be getting more and more harassed, and it was becoming more and more fatigued. With a little contact, the Ming army attacked around like crazy, but on the vast grassland, this kind of attack seemed more like anger from embarrassment, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Under the tireless harassment of the Ara Zhiyuan, the formation of the Ming army finally became a little loose. The marching speed of the transport troops that transported food and grass became slow, and the distance between the army and the Chinese army was more than twenty miles away. The distance is still increasing.

After repeated probing, Ara Zhiyuan finally confirmed that it was not a trick to lure the enemy. How could 20 stones of grain and grass be used as bait?

Marquis Shi Heng of Wuqing was wrong!

"Fight! Such a god-given opportunity, how can we not fight!" Ara Zhiyuan rubbed his hands, and said to many Taijis with great excitement.

A Taiji immediately stood up, and said quite frantically: "What heavenly soldiers and generals! But in just two months of harassment, this has made such a big mistake! The Ming army, that's all!"

Sai Yinbuhua said quite calmly: "Everyone, when Agadorji was at Qingfengdian, he laughed at Qianqian's ignorance and Shi Heng's lack of wisdom. With this smile, the whole army was wiped out. Later, at Yexian Dashi's place. It was useless, and finally went back to find my brother in a mess."

"Everyone, stop laughing."

Sai Yinbuhua is very good at throwing cold water, he is reminding these Taiwanese to see clearly who their opponent is.

Others won't say much, if you look down on Yu Qian, it's a bit too much.

Sai Yin's purpose of not spending these words is entirely to dispel the idea of ​​many Taijis attacking, or to delay some time, so delay it. In Sai Yin's eyes, the Ming army may really have a big problem .

The grain and grass of 20 shi were so clearly separated from the Chinese army by more than 20 miles. With such a big mistake, as much time as possible can be bought for the Ming army to adjust.

Soldiers who, deception also.

Benefits lure them, disorderly take them, be prepared for reality, avoid them when strong, scratch them with anger, be humble and arrogant, work hard for loss, separate from relatives, attack those who are unprepared, and catch them by surprise.

It can only be said that Shi Heng's acting is too similar, and even Sai Yin is not sure about the Ming army.

Ara Zhiyuan said quite dissatisfied: "Saiyin doesn't spend, so don't raise other people's ambitions here, destroy your own prestige, so what if it's a trick to lure the enemy? Could it be possible that the Ming army can still grow in this twenty-mile journey?" Do you rush to help like wings?"

"We just need to rush over and set a fire. Even if it burns half of it, the Ming army will have to flee back in embarrassment. I don't want to destroy the Ming army, just force them back."

"I'm not greedy."

"Forget me talking too much." Sai Yin didn't want to talk too much because of his status. The Ming army could only ask for more blessings. This battalion of the Fourth Military Regiment, which marched the fastest, might really have to eat such a note on the grassland. Bored.

On April 26, the moon is like a hook and the stars are shining brightly.

Two [-]-strong teams appeared behind the Daming's logistics army. With the sound of horns and bursts of whistles, the Oirats began to step on the grass and rushed towards the Daming's logistics army like a torrent.

At the same time as the Oirats were attacking, the sound of gongs and drums was heard from the Daming barracks, and the flames shot up into the sky.

Build a strong camp and fight a slow battle. The camp of the supply troops is very solid. This horse trap first tripped the Oirat cavalrymen who were charging ahead. It was this short-term relaxation that gave Daming time to prepare. , the artillery of the Ming Army began to roar.

This roar continued to resound throughout the grassland.

Shi Biao, who was in charge of the rear of the palace, spat out the grass stalks in his mouth vigorously, and looked at the Oirat cavalry outside the camp like a tide, his eyes were fierce. If Shi Heng hadn't repeatedly told him to entrap the enemy's main force, Shi Biao would have He had already opened the gate of the camp and rushed out to get rid of the bird spirit of the past two months.

Finally, the traces of the Oirats were caught.

Shi Biao commanded the battle. Once the Wala people charged too close, the sound of the artillery would suddenly become much denser. If the Wala's momentum retreated a little, the sound of the artillery would be a little sparse.

Every charge of the fighting Oirats seemed to be able to break through the line of defense with just a little more force, but no matter how hard they tried, it seemed that they could not tear the defense of the Ming army.

The artillery and firecrackers of the Ming Army harvested the lives of the Wala people wave after wave.

Ara Zhiyuan's hand holding the rein was trembling, this bone was much harder to chew than he imagined, but seeing the precarious defense line, he was reluctant to part with this piece of fat.

As long as they are defeated, the Ming army will undoubtedly retreat!

Then his prestige in the grasslands of Arazhiyuan will be like the sky, and it is not impossible to become a big rock like Yexian, or simply become a khan.

Arazhiyuan grasped the reins vigorously, and gave the order to charge again and again, but the fragile line of defense, which was like paper, stood still under the charge of countless Wala people.

"It's a matter of peace! It's not good, the reinforcements from the central army of the Ming Army have arrived!" A scout scrambled to the bottom of the wolf's head and said in horror.

"How could it be so fast!" Ara Zhiyuan looked at the sky, the battle took only an hour, how could the reinforcements from the central army of the Ming Army arrive so quickly, this is twenty miles away!

"It's Daming's cavalry, and it's the blunderbuss cavalry!" The scout was terrified to the extreme, God knows how powerful those blunderbuss cavalry are.

"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!" As soon as Ara Zhiyuan heard that it was the firecracker cavalry, how could he not know that he had been tricked into luring the enemy, and immediately ordered to retreat, but it was too late.

Everyone saw the bright fireworks rising, and then sharp whistles sounded from all directions. This was the sentry arrow of the Ming Army, which represented the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming Army.

Ara Zhiyuan reined in his horse's head vigorously, led thirty or fifty elite soldiers to spot a spot and rushed over.

Ara Zhiyuan ran away without organizing any effective retreat, and just slipped away with his elite soldiers, blending into the vast night.

The gate of the camp that could not be attacked for a long time was opened, and countless cavalry rushed out of the camp to join forces with the reinforcements inside and outside.

The battle lasted until the dawn of the next day, and finally came to an end. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty tidied up the battlefield in an orderly manner, and gave the Oirats who hadn't completely expired their swords, sending them off for the last time.

Cleaning the battlefield has always been like this, regardless of whether it is life or death, you have to make up for it to ensure that the enemy is dead, otherwise violent killings will occur, and the sergeant who cleans the battlefield will suffer a big loss if he is unprepared.

Standing on the battlefield covered in blood, Shi Biao laughed extraordinarily wildly, extraordinarily recklessly, and finally used the enemy's head to vent out the bird's breath he felt in the grassland.

On the other hand, Zhu Yi was holding Douhou in his arms, directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, with a smile on his lips.

Winning a battle is something to be happy about.

The reinforcements led by Zhu Yi last night were the Lancers led by Zhu Yi. The cavalry with firearms such as three-eyed blunderbuss, swarm bees, bird blunderbuss, and hand blunderbuss were far more lethal than grassland cavalry with bows and arrows. Humans are better at riding.

The victories were fruitful.

"Hey ha ha ha ha!" Shi Biao laughed loudly and patted Zhu Yi's arm and said loudly, "Hey, the grain and grass are not damaged at all, but these Wala people left a lot of corpses! Ha ha ha!!"

"Ara Zhiyuan probably didn't expect that General Shi was guarding it. If he knew, he would never dare to come." Zhu Yi said with a smile.

It has to be said that Shi Biao's patience was excellent this time, and he waited until the whistle sounded before opening the gate of the camp.

"That's it!" Shi Biao put his hands on his hips, flaunting his might.

Yu Qian and Shi Heng rushed to the battlefield early in the morning. Yu Qian looked at the corpses of the Oirats on the ground, and said with a smile on his face: "Let's write the victory report, and make His Majesty happy."

Chapter 874 The Ming Army Should Win!

When Zhu Qiyu received the victory report, it was just before the morning court. This victory was so exciting that Zhu Qiyu's face was also full of red.

A few days ago, when the striker had been tricked by the enemy and caused hundreds of people to get sick, the North Korea and China opposed the Northern Expedition again, and it was very loud. This victory came in a timely manner, and it could just be used to silence some opponents.

Standing on the platform of Daming Fengtian Hall, Zhu Qiyu looked up at the plaque on it. The four characters on it were "Jingtian Fazu". Human beings are based on their ancestors, so the ancestors from which they are born match the heaven and the earth, and the heavens are matched with the ancestors.

He looked at the card in a daze, and thought of the secret reserve of the Qing Dynasty.

It was the emperor who wrote the name of the prince and put it in the box, and finally completed the succession of the throne. This secret system of establishing a prince was passed on by some people as miraculous.

But in fact, only the founder Yongzheng used the secret reserve of the Qing Dynasty, and only used it once. After that, this secret reserve system no longer exists.

Qianlong had been the emperor for 60 years. In order not to exceed the 60 years of his grandfather, he abdicated the throne to Jiaqing while he was alive. Not only did he not secretly establish a crown prince, he even directly let the crown prince succeed him.

All his life, Qianlong wanted to be "righteous" and "righteous". He wanted to establish a heir again and again, but unfortunately God didn't give him this opportunity. One after another, the heirs Qianlong liked didn't last past the age of 25, and they finally got cheaper. Jiaqing, who is neither likable nor annoying.

When Jiaqing died in the Summer Resort, this secret reserve made a mess. The secret box written by Jiaqing was not placed on the upright card after Jiaqing died of a sudden illness. After that, the officials searched everywhere, but they couldn't find it.

The Empress Dowager had no choice but to decree that Mianning, the eldest son of the emperor, should inherit the throne.

Of course, I found it later, on a bodyguard, the officials opened it, and it was written in the box that Mianning, the eldest son of Lihuang, was the crown prince!At that time, the eldest son of the emperor, Mianning, had already ascended the throne, and it was either Mianning or Mianning.

Jiaqing's eldest son died of a sudden illness before he even had a name. Mianning, the second prince, was considered a proper eldest son of the emperor, and Mianning's mother was also Jiaqing's first wife, Fujin, and also the eldest son.

The eldest son of the Qing Dynasty, who had been thinking about it for nearly 80 years, finally succeeded to the throne, and finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, that is, the later Emperor Daoguang.

Emperor Daoguang started Lin Zexu's ban on smoking, and the British pirates who shouted for free trade started two Opium Wars in order to open the gate of the Qing Dynasty.

The secret reserve system that is boasted to the sky is just a case where Yongzheng personally participated in the cruel political strife of Jiulong's seizure of the throne, and found that the seizure of the throne had a bad impact on the loss of national power, so he tried to find a solution to the succession of the throne, and finally failed. .

If the establishment of a secret reserve was really so effective, Qianlong would not have been obsessed with the upright and justifiable eldest son for the rest of his life.

In fact, the establishment of a heir and an elder in the Ming Dynasty probably lasted through the early, middle and late stages of the Qing Dynasty, and the secret establishment of a reserve was only implemented once, and it disappeared like other new policies of Yongzheng.

The disappearance of the Yongzheng New Deal, in fact, is largely related to the fact that he has been the emperor for 13 years. The time is too short, and there are many policies that have not yet formed inertia. Nature drifted with the tide and disappeared into the long river of history.

Zhu Qiyu is 32 years old now. If there are no accidents, he will continue to govern stably, and some of his new policies will be left behind for future generations.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." Xing'an carefully reminded His Majesty that it was time to take a seat. If His Majesty didn't sit down, the courtiers were all waiting outside Fengtian Hall and couldn't come in. After the whip was sounded, the six Ming Dukes were all at the door. waiting.

"Yeah." Zhu Qiyu turned around and sat down.

All the ministers filed in, shouting long live three times, and the court meeting of the Fengtian Palace in the Ming Dynasty began again.

"Good news." Xing'an flicked his whisk and shouted loudly without raising his voice: "On April 11, the 26th year of Jingtai, the Ming army was at the foot of Qiaoba Mountain, designed to lure the enemy, defeated Wala, killed and wounded 340 people, Captured 430 people, Uncle Dingyuan Shi Biao and Duke Cheng Zhu Yi bravely captured the enemy's flag, showing off the prestige of our country!"

As soon as the victory report came out, Jiang Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately came out and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to Daming, and congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"My congratulations to Daming! Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The officials immediately bowed their heads to congratulate Daming's victory under the leadership of Jiang Yuan. Whether they were against the Northern Expedition or in favor of the Northern Expedition, it was natural to congratulate them when they won a great victory.

Jiang Yuan was really relieved, he was not on the front line, but he was more eager for this big victory than the sergeants on the front line.

He asked himself that he was not as capable as Yu Shaobao. If something happened, His Majesty might promise to personally conscript him. According to the usual practice, if something happened, he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, would have to take the lead. He asked himself that he couldn't do it. After the great victory in the First World War, even if the army marched unfavorably, there would be no tragedy of annihilation of the entire army, so the pressure on Jiang Yuan would not have to be so great.

"I have already issued the reward according to the order, and I will continue to award the reward when the army triumphs." Zhu Qiyu gestured to all the lovers to be flat, and he said with a smile: "I know that a few days ago, the Ming army suffered a dull loss, and some courtiers were worried. Daming is once again in the midst of civil disasters, worrying every day and every night, this victory can be regarded as a reassurance for all my lovers."

"It's the same for me."

Zhu Qiyu never felt that those who opposed the Northern Expedition were treacherous ministers. After all, the earth and wood fortresses were changing. At the beginning, Zhu Qiyu wanted to use troops against Jining and Hetao. This was a battle in the four directions of the Ming Dynasty. Hu Wei went to the lecture hall to gather talents Pavilion, with half of the courtiers facing the sky.

Those who oppose the use of troops are not necessarily against him, Zhu Qiyu, against the imperial court, against the Ming Dynasty, and those who support the use of troops, and those who don't see it must be unyielding.

Zhu Qiyu himself was also worried about the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, and even when Shi Biao suffered a dull loss, he had a feeling that he should just let it go and bring the army back, and the idea of ​​treating it as an armed parade was fleeting.

Fortunately, the Daming Army is still the invincible and invincible Daming Army.

Before the civil engineering fiasco, the Ming Army had always been synonymous with invincibility.

Now, the Daming Army has returned to normal, showing the same strong combat power as before.
