Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 227 Wang Shouren's surprise attack on Fengzhou Beach

After listening to Wang Shouren's words, Zhu Houzhao thought about it. The two charge guards plus the scout guards did not cause much damage in this battle. There are still more than 2 people.However, Zhu Houzhao still felt that it was a bit rare. This was the first large-scale long-distance raid, and its importance to Daming was self-evident. Naturally, it was necessary for power to prepare for victory.

"How about this!" Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, took a bite of a piece of meat, and then said: "You take the Black Dragon Guard with you."

The Black Dragon Guard is Zhu Houzhao's personal guard. Although there are only 3000 people, they are all selected from the best. Whether it is the quality of individual soldiers or equipment, they are definitely the best in the Black Dragon Army.Bring these 3000 people, at least they can be used to fight when encountering a difficult situation. For this battle, Zhu Houzhao sent the Black Dragon Guard to Wang Shouren with a smile.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Shouren was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "Your Highness, the Black Dragon Guards are His Highness's personal guards, and they are there to protect His Highness, how can I let the minister take them away?"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, interrupted what Wang Shouren was about to say, and said, "This battle is very important. We must try our best to win. If you can't win, then you have to bring these Black Dragon Army back alive. You know, this I have spent so much effort for the Black Dragon Army in the past few years, the battle may not be won, but the Black Dragon Army must not lose, understand?"

"I understand!" Wang Shouren nodded heavily: "I will definitely disappoint His Highness, His Highness can rest assured."

Seeing what Wang Shouren wanted to say, Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately, and patted Wang Shouren on the shoulder: "Bo'an, don't worry! The safety of the palace is guaranteed. Now Ordos has been wiped out by us, and there is no large-scale attack in the entire Hetao. Under such circumstances, who can hurt Bengong? Don't worry!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Shouren agreed, his eyes were unusually firm, obviously this time he was going to do something big.

Zhu Houzhao did not continue this topic, he felt that he was setting a flag by continuing to talk, and this kind of thing cannot be done.

"I will be stationed here and wait for you. If the battle ahead is unfavorable, you can send someone back to pass the news, and I will send someone to meet you." Zhu Houzhao decisively changed the topic, pondered for a moment, and Zhu Houzhao added another sentence : "In this battle, don't have the benevolence of a woman, surprise Fengzhou Beach, if there is no way to take prisoners, then don't take prisoners."

In fact, Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a long time before saying this sentence. As a later generation, Zhu Houzhao knows that this kind of killing is meaningless and cruel.

But that's what war is all about. I can't use the methods of later generations to do what I'm doing now. The most beneficial way for Daming is to kill, or even a massacre.Annihilation, these are two words, but they are bloody two words.Zhu Houzhao didn't want to, but there was no other way, only by thoroughly suppressing the fire, Daming's western front would be completely subdued and stable.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand!" Wang Shouren also nodded heavily, of course he knew what His Highness meant.

The so-called don't take prisoners, naturally it is impossible to release them, so they can only be killed. The Han Chinese fought many surprise raids on the grasslands, and naturally there were many massacres.Han people are sometimes treated as two-legged sheep, and Wang Shouren naturally knows this.He studied military books and history books, so he naturally knew what he should do. He, Wang Shouren, is not a corrupt Confucian, and he has no benevolence for women.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhu Houzhao patted Wang Shouren's shoulder, and said in a dejected mood: "Go and gather people, and then send the order. Since it is a surprise attack, don't be slow. Let's go tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness!" Wang Shouren agreed, stood up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao, then turned and walked towards the distance.

That night, Zhu Houzhao sat on the grassland for a long time. He was thinking about many things. If Ming and Mongolia could live in peace, or if Mongolia surrendered to Ming, how much territory would it have?The Mongols are good at fighting, and the Ming Dynasty is rich in materials. With the support of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, the pace of expansion is absolutely unstoppable.

Whether it is going north or marching into Central Asia, Ming's cavalry will travel across the entire Eurasian plate, and there is no need for a navy. The cavalry on the road will go directly to Europe.

It just happened to let those people in Europe taste the whip of God. Of course, Zhu Houzhao also knew that this was impossible.

Mongolia has become stronger, they will not target outside, but will still point to Daming, what they want is the prosperous land of Daming, what they want to restore their former glory, and what they want is to continue to enslave Daming, so Zhu Houzhao knows what is in his heart. Thinking about it, he also knew that such a policy would not work, it was too idealistic.

Only when we fight until we are honest, until we are subdued, and when no one dares to oppose Daming on the grassland, and the cavalry of Daming move freely, and the entire Mongolian grassland becomes Daming's horse grazing land, can we start our own governance again.

Even though it was a process of internal friction, there was nothing Zhu Houzhao could do. This is human nature, so Zhu Houzhao chose to issue such an order.If there is no other way, then don’t take prisoners. Zhu Houzhao knows very well that if his order goes on, the Ming army will kill more people under the knife, and the most efficient way is to kill in an organized and disciplined manner.

The moon was in the sky, and Liu Jin, who was serving Zhu Houzhao, came to Zhu Houzhao's side: "Your Highness, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

Glancing at Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao nodded. These days, Liu Jin has been working with the logistics side, and has been infected with the wind and cold. These days are better, so he is here to serve by his side.Zhu Houzhao stood up with a smile and said: "Your body has just recovered, don't worry about me at night, my body is much stronger than yours."

Zhu Houzhao dared to say this, but Liu Jin didn't dare to really do that, so he said with a smile: "Your Highness is wise and martial, and his martial arts are superb. Naturally, this body is the best. A hundred slaves are not as good as His Highness. It is a good thing to be able to serve His Highness." The blessing of the servant, if you want to come and follow His Highness, the body of the servant will get better and better."

The eunuch's flattering skill is really high, whether it's the eyes, the demeanor, or the smile, they are all very sincere, and they are always telling the truth when they look at them, not like flattering at all.

"Okay, let's rest!" Zhu Houzhao walked into the tent and said to Liu Jin with a smile: "You should also rest early, there will be more things tomorrow."

Liu Jin agreed, and waited until Zhu Houzhao fell asleep before he withdrew to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and Zhu Houzhao still got up early the next morning. Before dawn, Zhu Houzhao sent Wang Shouren away and watched him lead the army to Fengzhou Beach.
