Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1026
During the military parade years ago, Li Zicheng watched the majestic troops being reviewed, lined up neatly in a square formation, and arrogantly boasted in front of many people, civil and military officials, and the emperor.For this, as a member of the military, he is naturally extremely envious.

But at this moment, he no longer envied others.He has absolute self-confidence, and he will wait for others to envy him in the future!

His subordinates were also extremely excited. Like Li Zicheng, they folded their fists and knelt down, shouting in unison: "I will die for Your Majesty, and I will never regret it!"

Emperor Chongzhen stared at them, smiled and stretched out his hands, and gestured for support: "Everyone, all soldiers, get flat!"

When Li Zicheng and the others got up and stood there solemnly again, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at the large phalanx on the right, his face became serious, and he asked seriously: "Your seniors are about to graduate and go to the battlefield for my Ming Dynasty. , Defend the family, defend the country, expand the territory! You salute the seniors and bless them!"

Hearing this request, the soldiers on the left and right sides of the phalanx were stunned, but they immediately reacted. Immediately, the freshmen turned to face Li Zicheng and the others. At the same time, they would not be rude to the emperor, and raised their hands in salute with solemn expressions.

Li Zicheng and others saw it, and no one ordered them to do so. They also turned sideways to the side of the freshman formation, and raised their hands in salute in response.

In the square, the cold wind howled, but everyone's heart was warm at this moment.No matter new or old, everyone's blood is boiling and their mood is stirring.At this time, they never imagined that this process of theirs would become a standard ceremony for each class of soldiers to graduate and each class of freshmen to enter the Ming Dynasty Advanced Armed Forces Hall.

The graduates entered the various armies to serve the country, and the freshmen wished the seniors the rest of their lives and made great contributions.

After the ceremony, he bid farewell to the emperor, stepped on the prepared horses, left the gate of the camp, and left in the cold wind.

Emperor Chongzhen watched them disappear at the gate of the camp, and the same agitated emotions in his heart slowly calmed down, but he was still very happy.This Li Zicheng will be very different from his original fate in history.I hope that he can occupy Siberia for Ming Dynasty, and he will leave his name for future generations, and his reputation will be countless times better than his original reputation in history.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group when he was taking a break, and found that there was news from Yunnan that King Dongwu Talong raised his army and marched northward to fight a decisive battle with the imperial army.

"Hehe, judging from the previous signs, King Long thinks that he has instigated the two chieftain armies, so he thinks he can win this decisive battle?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing in his heart, "In that case, then I should also let Wen Tiren Go get ready, and then it's time to announce the overseas feudal affairs of the vassal king!"

Since Zhu Xieyuan's reminder, Min Hongxue has secretly strengthened the monitoring of various chieftains.In addition, some of the factory guards also went to Yunnan, and they also watched in secret.After this two-pronged approach, the news was collected in the chat group, and Min Hongxue analyzed it, and indeed found a problem.

As for King Tang, although he was in the chat group, according to Min Hongxue's suggestion, he was not told about it.After all, King Tang was young and had never experienced major events.I'm afraid that if he loses his composure and reveals something, it's not good to startle the snake.Min Hongxue wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to let King Long take the bait and eliminate Dongwu's main force in one fell swoop, and then he could move his troops south and capture the entire territory of Dongwu.

In the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen clicked on Wen Tiren's icon, told him about it, and asked him to prepare. At the end, he reminded again: "I am paying attention to the battle of Dongwu, and when the decisive battle takes shape, After the victory is ensured, it can be announced to the world, and the auction of the land belonging to the Tang king will be held at the same time."

Ever since Emperor Chongzhen threw away trivial matters, the cabinet, including the Chief Assistant Wen Tiren, has been busy.After all, with such a large territory of Ming Dynasty and so many things happening, it would be a very heavy workload for the cabinet to ask them to give their opinions on how to deal with it.Relatively speaking, the supervisor of etiquette only judges whether the cabinet's opinion on disposition is reasonable, but the workload is much smaller.

Therefore, Wen Tiren didn't know much about Dongwu's progress.At this time, when I heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, I couldn't help being overjoyed. If the matter of the Tang Dynasty's feudalism of Dongwu can be completed, then the land belonging to the Tang Dynasty can be taxed after the auction. This land tax is not much compared to the entire treasury revenue.But if the fields of all the princes in the world can collect taxes in the future, then the income will be high!
Another very big advantage is that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the number of clans has reached an unbearable level.So much so that since the Jiajing Dynasty, they have made things difficult for the new clan, and even refused to recognize it for a long time, so as to avoid the heavier and heavier burden on the clan.If it goes on further, the number of clans does not know how many there will be, and the empire is really unbearable.

But if all the vassal kings are feudal overseas, then the clans of these vassal kings will naturally go overseas.Moreover, their salaries are naturally borne by the vassal princes who have formed their own country.For the Ming Empire, this will put down a very heavy package!This kind of situation is good for Daming and the clan, it is a win-win situation!
Wen Tiren thought of all the benefits of the vassal's feudal overseas, and he couldn't help but be very concerned about the war in Dongwu.After all, as the first example of Tang Dynasty feudalizing Dongwu, whether it succeeds will affect the national policy of subsequent feudal kings feudalizing overseas. Therefore, he was very worried, so he replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, how about waiting for the army to occupy Dongwu?" After the whole territory, how about announcing it?"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen understood his worry, and immediately said to him: "Our army has already grasped the situation in this battle, but he, King Long, knew nothing about it. , is resting. When the battle was about to happen, he suddenly appeared. I believe that King Long was crying. Wen Qing just prepares, and I will give you good news when I come back!"

"The old minister complies with the order!" Wen Tiren saw this message, put more than half of his thoughts in his heart, and followed the order.

One of the protagonists in their conversation, King Togo Talong is leading an army northward at this time.

The route he chose was to go upstream along the Dajinsha River.In this way, his water army can transport grain, grass and supplies, saving a lot of labor, and the consumption on the road is also less.On the surface of the river, the densely packed boats almost blocked the surface of the river.Among them, not only warships, but also other ships.It was King Talong who ordered all the ships that could be collected to transport the army.In addition, there are countless civilians who are used to pull fibers along the way.

On this river, sailboats cover the sky and sun, and on this riverside, there are endless troops marching.Among them, the most common infantry are ordinary infantry, dressed in simple clothes, if people don't know it, they will think that the civilian husband picked up the weapon.Of course, there are also elite infantry, near the central army, there are cloth armor, cotton armor, and iron armor.Some of them carried a round shield on their backs and a waist knife on their waists, they were sword and shield soldiers; others walked empty-handed, their weapons were long shields, and it was impossible for them to march on their own. It is impossible to transport it on the ship. In case of war, there is no time to equip it.Therefore, they used carts to carry their long shields, and some folks helped them drive and push the carts; others carried a walking bow and hung a few pots of arrows, they were archers;

Of all the arms, the most striking are the cavalry and elephants.Especially the elephant army, tall and big, and those cavalry walking in front of and behind them, it is really not enough to look at in comparison.Now it is only in the state of marching, so the elephants are not covered with rattan. When the rattan armor is hung in wartime, the damage of bows and arrows to elephants can be ignored.In the battlefield, the elephant rampages, who can stop it?It can be said that this elephant army is the trump card in the hands of King Talong.

King Talong himself did not ride in a boat, but rode on an elephant.This elephant is all white, and it is a strong adult elephant. There is a special saddle on the back of the elephant, and three people or more can sit on it.This elephant saddle is different from other elephant saddles. It has a cover on it to block the sunlight.

King Long sat there, looking at the army on the riverside, his heart was full of pride.Suddenly, he pointed at the marching army, and asked the important ministers beside him: "There is an idiom in the Ming Dynasty, that can be done by throwing a whip to cut off the flow, can a lonely army do it?"

"That's natural. Your Highness's army is far superior to the Ming army. In this battle, I, Dongwu, will definitely win!"

King Long listened and glanced at him, feeling very comfortable in his heart. He had already reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the two chieftains, but he didn't say anything to anyone.After all, this fact is too important, it is better to keep it secret!Because, the reply from the important officials around him made him feel very good, who holds the hole card!
At this time, several knights galloped forward, they were his trusted generals and his vanguard generals.This made him frown a little. If he didn't sit in front of him, what was the Chinese army doing here?
Dongwu's war horse is far from being able to compare with the horses in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and it is much smaller. He, King Long, had to lower his head, watching his confidant vanguard running in front of him, seeing the sweat on his head, knowing that he came in a hurry, He frowned and asked, "What's the matter, but is there something ahead?"

If there is something going on ahead, the chief general should stay there instead of running to the central army himself.

His vanguard army rolled off their horses and knelt down on one knee to report, but to his embarrassment, King Long didn't stop the elephant, but walked forward.So, he had no choice but to stand up again, hurried over and raised his head to report: "Your Highness, our army's vanguard scouts have discovered that the Ming army does not take in at night, and there have been many fights. Now, the news of our army's attack may be revealed The army knows."

"That's it?" Hearing this, King Long couldn't help but say a little unhappy, "You shouldn't have come to the Chinese Army!"

By not letting the elephant stop just now, he was actually expressing his dissatisfaction.

The vanguard general naturally received this signal, but he still insisted on speaking out what was in his heart, so he heard him play loudly: "Your Highness, the speed of soldiers is precious, our army should attack quickly, and try to attack first before the Ming army gathers." Go to Mengmi! According to the current marching speed, when we reach Mengmi, the Ming army in Mubang, Mengyang and other places, and even the Ming army in other places have already rushed to Mengmi for reinforcements. It is too difficult to defeat Meng Mi!"

The direction of their army was to go to Mengmi, the city closest to Awa that was captured by the Ming army.

King Talong listened to his loud report, his face was anxious, and his brows loosened.Not only the important officials don't know about the fact that there is an internal response, but even his confidants and generals don't know about it.Not only for the sake of secrecy, but also for the purpose of increasing his prestige more effectively once this trump card is used to defeat the Ming army.He, King Long, is just the younger brother of the previous king, and he has been able to get to where he is today because he is good at manipulating people's hearts.

It has to be said that he, King Long, is indeed a cunning person. In Dongwu's words, he is a wise monarch. The word "Thalong King" in Dongwu means "the king who died in the prosperous period of the country".It can be seen that its ability is indeed there.

At this time, after hearing the advice of his general, he smiled slightly, showing a confident attitude, and replied lightly: "You don't need to worry about this, I just want to give the Ming army this opportunity to gather all the troops in Mengmi. Then annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Having said that, he looked down into the eyes of the general below, and said with a bit of majesty: "Do you have no confidence in Guzhice, or do you feel that you don't have the ability and are afraid of the Ming army?"

Hearing this, his vanguard general became agitated, and immediately knelt on one knee to express his loyalty: "How can the last general be afraid of those smart dogs, the last... the last general... fight to the death..."

The elephant still didn't stop, and when he knelt down, he could only see the elephant's buttocks and the flicking of the little tail on the buttocks.So, he stood up and followed quickly. After expressing his loyalty and ability again, he got on his horse and rushed forward.

Since His Highness has such great ambitions, as His Highness's confidant and vanguard general, how can he show weakness? At worst, he will die for His Highness on the battlefield, and he has already repaid his favor.The vanguard general was galloping on horseback, thinking so in his heart, but he immediately came to his senses. Thinking this way, he seemed to be afraid of the Ming army, and it really shouldn't be.Think about your own king, in the past, he was defeated in all the wars in the north and south. Even Xiyi had such sharp firearms, so he was defeated by the king and hanged to death.What's the matter with the Ming army? Even if the army is assembled, what's the matter? If you believe in your king, you will definitely defeat the Ming army this time!

Thinking of this, his confidence grew even more. After arriving at the vanguard army, he passed down an order to resolutely implement the will of King Long, controlled the vanguard army to slowly approach Meng Mi, and gave the Ming army a chance to gather. .

The Ming army kept reporting the news of Dongwu's army to Mengmi day and night. As King Talong expected, the Ming army from all over the country also rushed to Mengmi, and a decisive battle between the main force of Daming and Dongwu gradually took shape.Of course, the so-called main force of the Ming Dynasty is actually just an army in Yunnan, and Dongwu is the real army of the whole country.
