Daming heir

Chapter 355 True Human Cannon Fodder

Chu rhyme and Han style, South show and North Xiong.

As early as thousands of years ago during Emperor Yao's period, Xuzhou had already built a city, which was Pengcheng, the country of Da Peng.

When Xia Yu controlled the water, he determined the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, and Xuzhou was one of Kyushu.

Since the beginning of human footprint activities in Xuzhou, it has become a battleground for military strategists in ancient times.

In the Ming Dynasty, Xuzhou set up a government to control Zhili, Shandong, and Henan where the water and land are connected. It borders Yanzhou in the north, Huai'an in the east, Guide in the west, and Fengyang in the south.

If something happens here, the north-south transportation of the empire will be interrupted, and the ancestral land of the central capital will be in danger.

When the sun has already slanted to the west on this day, the blue sky is gradually dyed red by the setting sun, and the ground is orange-yellow.In Xuzhou city, officials at the prefectural and county levels and the commanders and generals of the guards have already carried the flag and carried the pick-up support out of the city, and rushed to the river section outside the city where ships can dock.

In order to meet the coming Emperor Taisun fleet in a hurry, Peng Jingxiu, the county magistrate of Tongshan County, who rarely rode on horseback, frowned and looked at the vast road ahead: "His Highness Taisun brought a thousand royal guards and the navy officers and soldiers of the fleet. Escorting [-] dan of grain and grass, should we bring more people over there?"

What Peng Jingxiu was talking about was worried, and he looked like he was loyal to the country.

Wearing a military uniform and wearing a lancet, Dai Chi, the commander of the guard station who rode in front of him on a horse, turned his head and squinted at the county magistrate: "It is the order of the imperial court that I, Xuzhou guards, and horses will go out of the city to relieve the disaster. People. Even the Beijing army who left Beijing last year to help the snow on both sides of the Yangtze River had tens of thousands diverted to Kaifeng Mansion. Under such circumstances, where did Dai County ask me to get people here?"

It is an extremely large convoy connected end to end, tightly covered with tarpaulins, the wheels are deeply crushed into the road surface, and a large number of officers and soldiers are closely guarding the left and right.

He raised his head, and saw that His Highness the Emperor Taisun had already put down the long tube at some point, and turned to look at him.

Xu Zufa's hands trembled, and his whole body trembled.

"Let's just watch and see what these people will do."

Dai Chi was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Xu Zufa who was protected behind him.

However, the voice of the emperor's grandson entered Xu Zufa's ears at this time.

From the treasure ships, cargo ships on the river, and even the right bed crossbows shot crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm. The arrows were like a shovel, shoveling the thieves in the gaps between the shells into two pieces like cutting melons.

The scene in the camera jumped from the fleet and the artillery to the thieves on the other side.

Xu Zufa smiled: "Since the grandson comes to the six mansions in person this time, not only the idiots in Lankao County will be in trouble, but Kaifeng Mansion will also be in trouble."

At this time, as the river was blocked.

Xu Zufa held the binoculars in his hand, but drops of sweat were already seeping out of his palms.

"Your surname is Xu, so it's interesting to know Xuzhou."

On the river between the head and tail of the fleet, sparks suddenly appeared one by one. Through the telescope, the three of them seemed to be able to hear roars.

At this time, Xu Zufa, the prefect of Xuzhou, who was behind, had already driven his horse to Dai Chi's side, and looked at the soldiers and horses in front who claimed to be Jinyiwei.

I am the magistrate of Xuzhou, but if I don't even know what happened in Xuzhou, then neither of me can escape the charge of negligence.

"But people from Xuzhou Mansion?"

Keeping pace with Dai Chi, Xu Zufa, the magistrate of Xuzhou Prefecture, who was not inferior in equestrian skills to Dai Chi, looked back at Peng Jingxiu, turned his head and said to Dai Chi: "The hundred and ten three-squad guards in the prefecture and county, plus the commander's personal soldiers, can't make it together. 300 people, when Taisun's fleet arrives, these people will trouble the commander to control them together, and make sure that the fleet does not make mistakes when it docks to transport grain."

Seeing the prefect speak, Dai Chi nodded.

Something big is bound to happen.

Then there were clusters of bright red blood mist and countless pieces of meat and broken limbs, which exploded in mid-air.

Suddenly, he discovered that from the slope on this side of the river, a frame of artillery was pushed to the embankment.

In the gaps between these gunfires.

A shell can almost take away the lives of three or five thieves, and those who are far away will be overturned by the air waves of the shells. Before these people land, they will be hit by the shells that exploded next to them , and then turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Those small boats covered the entire river, rushing towards the fleet.

This thing is very abnormal.

Or maybe clear it up and return to Beijing to be an official in the Ministry?

Mali, an elite soldier equipped with firecrackers, announced his family name.

At the southern foot of Data Mountain, Xu Zufa, Dai Chi, and Peng Jingxiu had already seen the emperor's grandson standing on a high place, holding a copper pipe in his hand, overlooking the canal, surrounded by many royal guards.

Between the two, a situation of chasing and fleeing began.

Dai Chi was already shouting, calling his own soldiers to gather in front of the team.

But now that the river is blocked and there are no warships in the formation, even if these thieves can't grab food and grass, what if they set the fleet on fire?

Almost instantly, before Xu Zufa could react, a huge group of bright lights erupted on the entire canal.

An officer and soldier directly flattened the muzzle of the gun, facing the thieves rushing from the opposite bank.

Xu Zufa became tense in an instant, and his heart became suspended in the air.

Xu Zufa's eyes moved slightly.

"Who are you waiting for? This place is under the rule of Xuzhou Mansion. Foreign soldiers entering the country must have a transfer document from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion."

It is impossible for the warship to rush back to rescue!
Although when the chaos just happened, Xu Zufa saw that the stones that were removed from the cargo ship were stones.

Xu Zufa was already full of doubts.

Nan Tianpeng still had moisture on his body, and bowed to salute from a distance: "Go back to Your Highness, everything is ready, brothers are already heading towards the fleet."

He couldn't help turning the binoculars to the treasure ship parked on the river, wondering if the commanding general on the ship didn't even understand this?
Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour, the warships at the head and tail of the fleet had sailed a long distance.

The Data Mountain was still six or seven miles away from the canal, and at this moment the grandson had already landed, and quietly ran to the foot of the Data Mountain.

But Dai Chi is the commander of Xuzhou Wei, and he is higher than him in terms of rank and official position.

……

It turned out to be Jin Yiwei!

Wait until he bets his attention on the telescope again.

Who would have thought that Taisun entered the Xuzhou mansion, and before they rushed over to greet him, Taisun had already brought people off the boat.

Xu Zufa, Dai Chi, and Peng Jingxiu imitated the appearance of the grandson of the emperor, and put the telescope in front of their eyes.

Xu Zufa has been in Xuzhou for some years, and he has managed well from top to bottom.

He looked at the soldiers and horses who were not wearing the flying fish uniforms under the night sky, and couldn't help but feel a little more curious in his heart.

Xu Zufa suddenly looked sideways at the huge fleet on the river in the distance.

The warships at the head and tail of the fleet began to raise their sails and move.

But the next moment, the scene of the fleet moored on the canal attracted the three of them.

These thieves are dead!
When Xu Zufa saw this, he didn't know where it was, what happened before and after.

They are all dressed as fishermen from Xuzhou Prefecture.

Xu Zufa finally saw clearly what those things that were removed from the boat were.

Just when he was about to urge everyone to speed up and rush to the river bank to meet His Royal Highness Taisun.

When the team that suddenly burst out from the slanting stab appeared in front of him, Xu Zufa only had a pause in his heart before reacting.

Now there are soldiers and horses of the Huai'an Mansion who should not have appeared in Xuzhou's borders.

"Prefect Xu, His Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Zufa felt that he might have read it wrong, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at Dai Chi beside him.

I don't know when, when those thieves were about to turn around and flee, there were groups of officers and soldiers on the rivers on both sides in the distance, and a famous fisherman with a harpoon and a hatchet in his hand. Side-by-side surrounded those thieves and cut off the opponent's retreat.

And on the decks of the cargo ships docked on the shore, the rain cloths were lifted one by one, and artillery pieces were displayed on the side opposite the river.

These are the artillery equipped on the warships of the Daming Navy.

Peng Jingxiu froze for a moment, and opened his mouth.

This time Kaifeng Mansion is going to be unlucky, as long as Xuzhou Mansion does well, in the eyes of the grandson, it will be a real achievement of a capable minister.

"Jin Yiwei, the Shangzhi Qin army, was ordered to come to pick up the officials from the Xuzhou government's Yousi."

"If it wasn't for the idiots in Lankao County, why would it be here?"

The telescope couldn't help shaking.

Moreover, at this moment, the carriages at the foot of Data Mountain were obviously loaded with the [-] dan of grain and grass.

Seeing the thieves turned into cannon fodder one by one, showing signs of turning around and fleeing, Xu Zufa couldn't help but let out a low cry.

This must be to divert the warship away, and then another ambush attacked the fleet!
Xu Zufa didn't understand the art of war, but he still understood the actions of those river boats that rushed to the fleet first and now started to flee again.

Xu Zufa was very careful. Seeing that the emperor's grandson didn't intend to look back at him and the others, he turned his head cautiously and looked towards the foot of the mountain to the east.

Afterwards, an invisible wave of air spread out in the telescope, and after that, there was a series of huge roars, which spread all the way from the river to the side of Data Mountain.

Afterwards, the crossbowmen and archers on the ship gathered and shot their bows and arrows, and fell into the group of thieves on the other side.

The next moment, a picture that Xu Zufa will never forget in his life appeared.

Because of the flood of the Yellow River this time, the upstream burst, and the flood was unstoppable. These rivers outside Xuzhou City also rose and festered countlessly. There was almost a vast ocean between Dadong Mountain and Luliang Mountain. Difficult to move forward.

Xu Zufa quickly picked up the binoculars and looked across the canal.

Perhaps, a big mansion like Kaifeng can take it for himself.

Right now, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty can be expected, and no rebels have appeared in the Central Plains.

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "Prefect Xu might as well look at it for a while longer."

The warships at the head and stern of the fleet had already made a loud roar, and huge flames burst out on the warships, and one after another fireballs were shot from the warships at the river boats rushing from the river.

This is an elite.

Almost one-sided suppression, without any dragging.

"Your Highness, they want to escape!"

On the bank of the canal in the direction of Datongshan, no less than two thousand people suddenly appeared from nowhere, and began to rush towards the fleet with long ladders, pontoons, etc.

"It is the order of His Royal Highness." One of Jin Yiwei drove his horse forward a little bit, and his eyes fell on Xu Zufa: "This must be Xu Zhifu, His Highness personally called the name, and Xu Zhifu must go there .”

Looking up at the other party, Xu Zufa showed a smile on his face: "I'll go now, I'll go right away. Please, everyone, please lead the way."

The treasure ship is the ship of the emperor's grandson, which is equivalent to the dignity outside the court.

Cannonballs flew across the river, plunged into the crowd on the other side, and exploded in the air, bursting out into countless small fragments.

"Your Majesty, Peng Jingxiu, magistrate of Tongshan County, Xuzhou Prefecture, see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."

It's bags of stones!
This is a trap!
In an instant, Xu Zufa had a complete understanding of what happened now.

Suddenly, a sound brought Xu Zufa back to reality.

Zhu Yunxi nodded and stopped talking. Under Xu Zufa's gaze, he picked up the binoculars again and put it in front of his eyes, looking into the distance as the sun set completely, and the fleet of countless lights was lit up.

After a while, there was chaos on the river bank.

However, the army and horses of the imperial court have always been strictly controlled, and no one would dare to step out of the guard post of a prefecture without the transfer order document from the governor's mansion and the Ministry of War.

There seems to be no response.

I saw the continuous roar of the artillery.

Xu Zufa nodded.

Suddenly, a team came out from the slanting stab, all of them were riding horses, wearing cloth armor, long knives on their waists, long guns on their backs, and long spears wrapped around their horses.

Then, on the north bank of the river, in the direction of Datong Mountain, two groups of people rushed to the river with their carts full of things.

With the start of the warships, the small boats rushing towards the fleet also began to turn their bows and flee in the direction they came from, as if they were extremely unwilling to be crushed and sunk at the bottom of the river by those huge warships.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi gestured to Yu Tian beside him.

The people from Jinyiwei reminded him again, and Xu Zufa just realized it.

But Xu Zufa still cautiously said: "I don't know where Your Highness is now?"

Seeing this, Xu Zufa was convinced that this was a trap that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun had set up long ago, waiting for the arrival of these thieves to loot the fleet so that they could be wiped out in one fell swoop.

"Whose order did you follow?"

Xu Zufa swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stared at everything that happened in the telescope with wide eyes.

He put down the binoculars and looked back at the fishermen standing not far from everyone.

"Minister, Xu Zufa, the prefect of Xuzhou Prefecture, see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."

Beside the river in front, tall masts began to be erected, as well as the canvas being lowered.

Xu Zufa moved the binoculars a little forward, and carefully looked at the emperor's grandson beside him.

I saw that in the middle of the fleet, those ships carrying grain and grass were unloading from the ships to the shore under the illumination of countless lights.

Speaking of this, Xu Zufa couldn't help thinking about it.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and looked at the prefect Xuzhou official: "I don't need to be polite, I just called you here, just because I don't want you to go to the wrong place and be scared. Here, with the lonely Have a good show."

Dai Chi glanced sideways, then nodded cautiously.

Xu Zufa suddenly felt bad.

These people can only be soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

There are thieves in Xuzhou Prefecture, intending to rob grain.

"The last general, Dai Chi, Commander of the Xuzhou Guard, pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."

Xu Zu was shocked and hurried to do the ceremony again.

Xu Zufa couldn't help frowning.

Xu Zufa couldn't help feeling refreshed.

Xu Zufa and the three were puzzled. If the things that the fleet is unloading now are grain and grass, then what is loaded on the carriage under the Data Mountain?
Don't wait for the three to find out.

In a blink of an eye, the river was full of blockages.

Dai Chi himself even grabbed the handle of the knife, pulled it out silently, and dragged it diagonally behind him, his eyes showing vigilance.

Subsequently, these carriages carrying heavy loads were thrown into the river.

There is a dense network of rivers here, and there are rivers at the foot of Dadong Mountain that directly link with Weishan Lake in the northwest, and there is an auxiliary river that connects the upstream and downstream of the canal in an arched shape.

Among them, Xu Zufa even saw soldiers and horses from Huai'an Mansion, who were from Suqian County and Pizhou County!

Zhu Yunxi looked at Nan Tianpeng who brought people over, with a smile on his face: "All ready?"

My Xuzhou Mansion is also one of the prefectures and counties affected by the disaster, but my Xuzhou Mansion immediately mobilized all the subjects under the rule to rescue the disaster as soon as the upstream flood came.When the imperial court's decree came, even the officers and soldiers of the guard station were dispatched to ask for money and food, and the government government never delayed.

While talking, Jin Yiwei already took out a token from his pocket.

Data Mountain is actually not big, it is only one mile from east to west, and less than a hundred feet wide from north to south.

Xu Zufa didn't dare to think about it.

Dai Chi didn't think these people who could be so well equipped would be rioters or other things like green forests and grass.

The teams from both sides gradually approached, and a question suddenly came from the heavily armed elite team.

It's just that these shells didn't seem to be accurate at all today, and they could only set off huge waves of spray and mist on the river.

Is that also food?

"His Highness is currently at the foot of the Great Pagoda Mountain."

Xu Zufa thought in his heart that it was his official career, and unknowingly, the person he greeted had already walked to the northeast of Xuzhou City, near the canal between Luliang Mountain and Dadong Mountain.

Afterwards, Dai Chi led the two soldiers forward carefully.

For a while, Xu Zufa became flustered.

With the last ray of light in the sky, Xu Zufa could see clearly that it was indeed Jin Yiwei's token.

Dai Chi's eyelids shrank suddenly.

At this time, a group of people hurried over from the foot of the mountain.

Finally, a horn sounded on the treasure ship.

The cylinder was suddenly magnified and pulled into the canal in front of them. The three of them were startled and trembled violently.

Xu Zufa was completely bewildered, and had no idea what fun to watch in the end.

Yu Tian took a telescope from the side and sent it to Xu Zufa, and someone else sent a telescope to Dai Chi and Peng Jingxiu.

Zhu Yunxi also put down his binoculars at this time, a trap set by a pre-knowledged purpose of robbing food, there is really no wave to watch.

He looked indifferently at Xu Zufa, who was still stunned, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that the [-]-mile-long man in Xuzhou's mansion is nothing more than that."

Xu Zufa immediately trembled.

With a plop, Dai Chi and Peng Jingxiu were brought to kneel on the ground.

"Your Highness, please punish me severely for the death penalty."
