Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

From then on, Chu Ze obeyed the emperor's orders and accumulated strength secretly.

He returned to Fengyang, gathered his trusted men, and intensified the training of his troops.

"Iron Shuttle" was distributed to soldiers and artillery was ready to go.

Wherever the army passed, war drums thundered and flags fluttered.

The craftsmen in Fengyang worked day and night to make new weapons.

Cannons and muskets appeared in large numbers.

Chariots shuttled back and forth in the city, transporting a steady stream of military supplies.

The people saw it all and were all moved.

"Prince Chu is going on an expedition! To wipe out the Tartars for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty is wise! As men, we must follow you and die on the battlefield to repay your kindness!"

As soon as the conscription order was issued, applicants flocked to the scene.

The young and strong men bid farewell to their parents, wives and children in tears and rushed to the military camp.

"Go, kid! Take care on your way!"

"I will wait at home and protect this land for you!"

"I swear to stand with the prince and wipe out the northern barbarians! Let us return peace to the land of the Ming Dynasty!"

The military and civilians are united and morale is high.

For a time, the Fengyang Army became so powerful that it seemed to be shaking the world.

The Tatars, far away in the northern border, also sensed the coming storm.

The Chanyu Alibugha sat upright in the big tent.

He stared at the map with a sinister look in his eyes.

"That Chu Ze guy wasted his time and energy trying to set up a trap on the border."

"Humph, do you really think I am a fool?"

"Come here, pass the order down, step up training and develop firearms!"

"I want to see how long this 'Fengyang King' can last!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the tent.

An armored warrior stumbled in, dragging a prisoner who was tied up.

"Reporting to Chanyu, our troops were patrolling the border and captured this Ming army spy alive!"

The prisoner struggled violently, cursing: "Tartar bastards! Let me go! You will never succeed!"

Alibugha sneered and waved his hand to signal to release the prisoners.

"You've come just in time. I'll let you, a spy, bring this news back to your Ming Dynasty!"

He looked at the captive with ill intent and said grimly:

"Go back and tell Chu Ze that the Tatars are full of murderous intent! If he still wants to resist, just wait for corpses to be scattered all over the ground and blood to flow like a river!"

Before he could finish his words, a figure suddenly appeared and struck the man in the throat with a sword!
The prisoner screamed, fell down, and blood gushed out.

"How dare you! How dare you!" The warrior was horrified and drew his sword in a hurry.

Alibugha remained calm and instead laughed in anger.

"Old man, what do you mean?"

"Haha! Since I can no longer be by your side, there's no need for you and I to be polite." The time traveler said grimly.

"Sending this spy back would be like alerting the enemy. It would be better to execute him on the spot to serve as a warning to others."

"Besides, we have to give them a 'surprise'"

When Alibuga heard this, his eyes lit up: "Teacher, what do you think?"

The time traveler laughed loudly and said mysteriously: "Well, let's quietly send someone to infiltrate Chu Ze's team."

After some whispering, Alibuga was also inexplicably excited:
"Great! The teacher is really a master! I will make sure that Chu Ze will die without a burial place!"

A few days later, outside Fengyang City.

As the morning light broke, the army stood in silence.

Leading the group was none other than the heroic Chu Ze.

He stood on his horse, whipped it and looked around.

Behind him were tens of thousands of soldiers, armed to the teeth, ready to go.

"Comrades!" Chu Ze shouted, "We are facing a powerful enemy, and the safety of our country depends on it!"

"How can we stand by and watch as we bear the hatred of our country and our family?"

"We swear to fight the Tartars to the bitter end! We will not withdraw until we win!"

"We swear to be loyal to Prince Chu until death!" The soldiers shouted in unison, shaking the valley.

"Let's go!" Chu Ze gave an order, and thousands of horses galloped, raising dust.

The cavalry marched to the battlefield in a mighty force. A fierce battle was inevitable.

But no one expected that this battle would be so earth-shattering.

When the weapons met, both sides were dumbfounded.

The Tatars never expected that Chu Ze's firearms were so advanced and sharp.

Iron shuttles, human bombs, and three-barreled muskets made an astonishing noise.

Suddenly, smoke rose everywhere and wailing was heard everywhere.

Chu Ze led the troops from the front and was invincible.

He rode a cavalry horse, wore a golden helmet, held a spear, and charged straight into the enemy camp.

In a short while, they killed dozens of enemy generals and forced the enemy to flee in disarray.

"Kill! Long live the Ming Dynasty! Prince Chu is invincible!" The soldiers behind him were all full of vigor and vitality.

However, the crisis is quietly approaching.

Just as Chu Ze rushed into the enemy camp first, a cold arrow suddenly flew from the darkness!
"careful!"

Someone shouted, and a figure suddenly rushed out and caught the sharp arrow with bare hands!
When everyone saw it, they were all stunned.

That was clearly the old man in the Tatar army, that damn "time traveler"!
"You! How dare you assassinate this general!" Chu Ze was furious. He raised his knife and was about to kill the old man.

"Sir, please wait!"

The old man screamed and rolled away.

"I'm trying to save you! This arrow is clearly a sneak attack from someone!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar everywhere.

Everyone looked at each other, finding it incredible.

Chu Ze was so angry that he was shaking all over and almost died on the spot.

However, reason prevailed over anger.

"Are you really here to save me?" he asked in disbelief.

"Do you have any clues about the person who plotted against you?"

"Your Excellency, I just saw a figure fleeing from here quickly."

The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and answered cautiously.

"That man is wearing the uniform of the Ming army, but he doesn't look like one of our soldiers. I'm afraid..."

"Traitor!" Chu Ze gritted his teeth, "How dare the Tatar bastards plant spies in our army!"

He turned around and ordered the soldiers around him: "Come here, thoroughly investigate the army and find this traitor! Kill him without mercy!"

"Yes!" The generals took the order and rushed away.

Chu Ze then turned to the old man and softened his tone:
"I have taken note of what you did today. I will reward you handsomely in the future."

The old man bowed his head hurriedly: "How dare I trouble you, sir?"

"I just have a conscience and can't bear to see the people suffer."

"Oh?" Chu Ze became interested. "You are a high-ranking Tatar advisor. Don't you want to help your master dominate the Central Plains?"

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly:

"Your Excellency may not know that although I am a Tatar, I am also a 'time traveler'."

“I have witnessed the rise and fall of countless dynasties, and I have also gained insight into the progress of modern civilization.”

"Although our Great Tartar is strong now, this is ultimately a chaotic world of warlord separatism. Only by promoting benefits and eliminating disadvantages can we benefit the people and stabilize our country."

The old man raised his head, looked at Chu Ze with compassion in his eyes:

“If you are willing, you should make peace with my Lord.

Let us lay down our weapons and work together to build a prosperous world.

Isn’t it beautiful? "

Chu Ze was stunned when he heard this, then he burst into laughter:

"You old bastard, you dare to persuade me to surrender? Dream on!"

"Our Great Ming is united, the country is rich and the army is strong. How can we allow you to do whatever you want?"

"You'd better surrender and wait for your punishment. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Alas, everyone in the world is drunk but I am the only one sober." The old man sighed, as if he understood everything.

"Sir, I have no intention of offending you. However, I'm afraid this battle is not as simple as you think."

Having said this, the old man suddenly fell silent and looked at Chu Ze with a strange expression.

Chu Ze felt a little scared by his gaze and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter? Do you have any other good ideas?"

The old man was silent for a while, then he slowly said: "Although I am a time traveler, I don't have the ability to change my fate."

"I came here this time to tell you a shocking secret that concerns the safety of the country." (End of this chapter)
