Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

At the top of the new city, the muzzles of the guns were all pointed at the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

Just wait for the signal to arrive and bombard the Nanjing Imperial Palace!

War clouds are gathering...

Especially Xiaolingwei.

Purple Mountain was not afraid of being discovered by people because of the trees, so it was already brightly lit at this time.

Hundreds of powerful Hongyi cannons and General Bi cannons have long been pushed to the fighting position.

Countless big men in dark green camouflage military uniforms were running forward and back.

Meichun was wearing a general's armor, and on the armed belt around his waist, the six-barreled Rongguang No. [-] looked like a short-handled hammer.

The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is very close to the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

Especially the hilltop at the southwest corner of Xiaoling Tomb is less than 1.5 kilometers away from the imperial palace.

Not to mention Zhu Youjian's improved cannon, it can hit even medium and large Folang machines!

Even if it weren't for the impressive hit rate when raising the gun...

As long as there are enough guns on the top of the mountain, there will be no living person in the Nanjing Imperial Palace!

"call!"

Mei Chun breathed out a sigh of relief and rubbed her palms.

Turning around to look at the northern sky, there was still no signal to take action.

Mei Chun suppressed her excitement and secretly promised:

"His Majesty!

The young minister Meichun swears here that she will make the Donglu Tatars look good! "

The blood of the Zhu family flows through Meichun's body.

Mei Yin, the ancestor of the Mei family, the founding hero of the country, and the son of Mei Sizu, Marquis of Runan, married Princess Ningguo, the eldest daughter of Lord Hongwu.

Although he was already the consort of Taizu, the founder of the country, more than 200 years ago, Mei Chun was extremely proud of his Hongwu bloodline.

Lord Hongwu expelled the Tartars and restored China. This credit is second only to the "Six Kings Bi Shihai Yi" and the first emperor who established the unification of China.

No one can achieve justice in the world more than the Ming Dynasty.

Guarding the tomb of Master Hongwu, Mei Chun was very happy even though it was hard.

Therefore, even though the Xiaoling Guard was in dilapidated condition, he, the commander of the first guard, was not as good as a landowner.

Meichun still sticks to his post and guards the tomb of Taizu Hongwu.

During the New Year, His Majesty expressed his gratitude to the Mei family for guarding the Hongwu ancestral mausoleum for generations, so he was given the title of Viscount.

Title - Loyalty.

Meichun was in the Yongsheng imperial court, and there were only a few people with independent titles and names.

Why do you say that?

Just like the champion.

First there was the title "Champion", and then there was the Champion County. (The jurisdiction is in the northwest of Dengzhou and the southeast of Nanyang today.)

That is, "Champion County", named after the champion Hou Huo Qubing!

In the same way, there is also the "Loyal Marquis" granted by Zhu Youjian to Mrs. Qin Liangyu, who also has the title first, and then the fiefdom is named after the title.

In fact, most of the feudal titles in history were named after the location of the fiefdom.

There are very few people who get their place names by being knighted.

Every place like this in China represents a hero who surpasses his contemporaries.

Meichun was extremely grateful to have gained the loyal viscount.

Although the Viscount only has one fiefdom in one township, you must know that he, Mei Chun, has not made any achievements!

Your Majesty is so kind to you, how can Mei Chun not be grateful?

Zhu Youjian gave him the name "loyalty" not out of curiosity, but because he really recognized this person.

Meichun deserves the name of loyalty!

In history, he was the only one who rebelled against Nanjing when he led an army of 23 to kneel down and surrender when faced with the conquest of Donglin, Fushe, and Xungui. From the court to the people, everyone surrendered!

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the original six thousand Xiaoling Guards had only 288 soldiers left.

Even if you include the old, young, women and children, there are only about a thousand people.

As for the military weapons, they are antiques from the Zhu Di period!

Meichun took the remaining 288 soldiers of the Xiaoling Guard, as well as some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and resolutely rushed towards the Qing army.

It's a pity that they were weak and outnumbered and could not drive away the Qing army.

Mei Chun, who retreated to Xiaoling Guard, had only 18 men left.

But he still fought to the death with the hundreds of Qing troops who were chasing him.

The Qing court saw that Meichun had only 18 people left, so he sent 50 Qing troops to fight.

However, Mei Chun, who occupied the advantageous location, led the eighteen warriors of Xiaoling Guard and killed them all.

The Qing soldiers were furious and swarmed in.

Meichun retreated to the mountain peak, occupying the favorable terrain, and kept maneuvering.

Finally, 350 Qing dogs were killed.

The battle was fought to the last soldier, and Mei Chun died for his country, leaving only an unknown hero in the Xiaoling Guard.

Of the 350 Qing troops, there were only three left.

The last warrior of the Xiaoling Guard used a hook and sickle to break open the belly of a Qing dog, but he was chopped down to the ground by two Qing dogs.

He endured the pain and beheaded the injured Qingguo, but he was stabbed in the heart...

Xiaoling Guard - from Meichun onwards, the entire army died for the country!

Tragic! ! !

How could Zhu Youjian not name such a person "loyal"?

Not to mention a viscount, even a duke or a prince is not enough to appease him!

It's a pity that "no knighthood can be achieved without military merit."

In order to prevent future generations from being indiscriminately bestowed and rewarded titles, Zhu Youjian could only bestow one viscount.

The viscount is not Zhu Youjian's gratitude - "loyalty" is the way to repay Meichun Xiaoling Guards!

……

Dulong Fuwan Everest, located at the southern foot of Purple Mountain where Xiaoling Mausoleum is located, is really close to the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

The straight-line distance is only three miles...

If the wind gets stronger, standing on the top of the mountain and peeing, there will be raindrops in the palace.

The geographical location is so good that even Handu Commercial City, which Founder Hua spent so much effort to build, has to be defeated.

In order to strengthen the Xiaoling Guards in Meichun's hands, Fang Zhenghua allocated funds several times.

At this time, the Xiaoling Guards had already replaced their guns with guns!

Do not!

If you really want to compare, it's like replacing a shotgun with a Star Destroyer!

When the ancestors of the Mei family served as the commander of the Xiaoling Guard, they only had 5600 people in the first guard, plus the 500 people assigned by Zhu Di.

That is 6100 people.

Among them, these 500 people are the "special forces" specially selected by Zhu Di!

——"Only those who can ride a horse, whip a whip, and gallop at high speed; ride a horse across a ditch and cross a wall; and shoot an arrow from a horse, and only two out of three arrows are qualified."

These elite soldiers undergo adjustments and assessments every five years.

According to historical records, Zhu Di stipulated strict assessment rewards and punishment methods:

"Those who are not qualified can have their sons take over; if there is no son to take over, they should serve and return to their hometown to retire."

Just like the last elimination system, those who are not qualified can ask their sons to continue to help guard the tomb.

If there are no sons to serve as soldiers, they will have to return to their hometowns with their salaries to take care of themselves in old age.

This is the defense power of Xiaoling.

It can be said that as long as the Xiaoling Guards who were guarding the Hongwu Mausoleum were pulled out, most countries in the world could be wiped out!

The Xiaoling Guards at that time could not but be praised as "tough!"

however……

After all, more than 200 years have passed by.

In Meichun's hands, there were only 288 soldiers left in the whole guard who could carry guns...

With Fang Zhenghua's support, the Xiaoling Guard under Meichun's command not only returned to full strength, but even expanded to two full guards!
