I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1077 Necessary Evil
"Damn it, really damn it!"

Li Tian was really angry about this.

He has a way to solve other things, but now this matter makes him a little at a loss.

It's not that the new army can't beat the cavalry, they have guns and cannons, and they actually have a chance of winning against the same number of cavalry.

But cavalry is different from ordinary infantry. Their mobility is too high. With the current rate of fire of matchlock guns and flat guns, it is impossible to stop cavalry charging at full speed.

Even if the new army can defeat the cavalry in the end, how much will they have left in the end.

Even if more than half can be left, it will be a blood loss, and it will not be enough to deal with the rebels who are at least tens of thousands.

The reason why Li Tian dared to come here with only two thousand recruits was because he had the confidence to completely defeat his opponents, with little or no reduction in personnel.

But the appearance of the cavalry greatly reduced his confidence.

Although Wang Fu didn't know what Li Tian was thinking at this time, he knew that Li Tian's face was so ugly that he must have encountered difficulties.

he whispered,

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, everything is just guesswork now, maybe, it's all just rumors."

Why doesn't Li Tian hope that this is fake news, it's completely fake news.

But even if there is a one-tenth possibility that it is true, Li Tian will not take risks. After all, this trip to Nanjing is not only related to whether Daming can embark on a rapid development path in the future.

It even affected the ultimate ownership of Daming's country.

No matter how careful you are about matters related to your own wealth and life, you can't be too careful.

From the current point of view, it is too late to deploy troops from other places to support.

At present, the only thing they can use and have combat effectiveness is the new army.

"Is it really necessary to fight the cavalry to the death?
No, there must be other ways!

As long as we can stop the arrival of the cavalry and prevent them from getting involved, maybe there is a chance for this matter. "

Thinking of this, Li Tian suddenly turned around and asked Mr. Zheng,

"Tell me about who this Kang Danian is and why he got involved in this matter.

Who is your Wanmatang who is in contact with him, and how many horses are sent over in detail..."

Zheng Laosan was also a little puzzled by the series of questions.

When he was in Wanmatang, he was at least the helmsman, with one or two hundred people under his command.

But at this time, he has been reduced to the deputy of the second master of the Zhu family, reduced to the point where he can only do some thug work.

Apart from the news that he heard by chance, he actually didn't know much.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty, I really don't know who this Kang Danian is, I just heard about it by chance, and this person once served as the county magistrate near Datong for a period of time.

It is estimated that at that time, there was contact with our Wanmatang...

As for who contacted him and how many military horses were transported there, this villain really doesn't know! "

From the looks of it now, Zheng Laosan is nothing more than a small boss, and the information he has in his stomach is really limited.

However, this news alone is enough for Li Tian.

Judging from the news at hand.

This Kang Danian should have risen step by step from the bottom officials.

Even if counted in 20 years, this person went from a county magistrate to a prefect, let alone more than ten years.

In other words, he has worked in the position of Fu Yin for at least seven or eight years.

From the point of view of time, it coincides with the time when Ma Dazhong started to take power and began to harm Nanjing.

Maybe, his governor was arranged by Ma Dazhong.

If this can be confirmed and it proves that he and Ma Dazhong are related, then this matter will be easier to handle.

Whether it is to send someone there immediately to dismiss him for investigation, or ask Yang Suwen and others to behead him, it can somewhat delay the threat posed by those cavalry to Nanjing.

Thinking of this, Li Tian already had a plan in mind.

He turned to Wang Fu and said,

"Immediately send a letter from Feige, telling Yang Suwen to put down what he is doing and come here quickly, I have another task for him!"

After speaking, I wanted to turn around and leave to make more detailed plans.

Wang Fu stopped him,

"Your Majesty, what should he do!"

Li Tian turned his head and glanced at Zheng Laosan, who had a very strong desire to survive, then smiled lightly,
"He's still useful, so let's stay here for the time being. Let him be a guide for Yang Suwen and them, and let him perform crimes and meritorious deeds. If he doesn't do well..."

There is no need for Li Tian to say the next words, everyone can understand what it means.

Zheng Laosan passed the test of narrowly surviving this time, and his life was finally saved for the time being.

Regardless of the fact that his hands and feet were still tightly bound at this time, he desperately bowed his head to thank Li Tian, ​​and said all the words of praise he could think of, all without hesitation.

After Li Tian left, Wang Fu gave him a cold look,
"Okay, your head is only temporarily placed in your head, whether you can keep it or not depends on your future performance.

But our family has something to remind you.

His Majesty said he was a benevolent Majesty, but he was right. A loyal person, even if he has no talent, as long as His Majesty is happy, he will have a chance to be rewarded.

But if it is a half-hearted fool, we don't need to say what will happen to me! "

The door closed again, and the room became pitch black again.

Zheng Laosan showed a very struggling look on his face in the dark, which was no less exciting than that of a smart person.

In another room, Li Tian did not go to rest, but reopened the detailed map of Nanzhili, and began to re-examine this operation.

When Wang Fu came back, Li Tian didn't turn his head back, and said to Wang Fu indifferently,

"Send someone to spy on that Zheng Laosan. I always feel that he seems to have something to say. This person looks honest on the surface, but in fact he is very slippery!"

Hearing this, Wang Fu raised his eyebrows,
"This bastard is so daring that he refuses to tell the truth in front of you!

There is no need to send people to watch, the old slave will go to interrogate him now, and within one night, he will surely let him confide in everything he knows. "

Li Tian gently waved his hand and said,
"No need, no one is selfish.

People like him are just one of many opportunistic people.

Do you really think he doesn't know what such a large group of people are doing near Nanjing this time?

If he hadn't fallen into our hands today, he might be a very active member of the rebel army tomorrow. "
