"Are you sure you want me to put all of these on?"

In front of him were three full sets of armor!

The cotton armor, chain mail, and Ming Guang armor together weigh at least eighty kilograms!

He even doubted whether he could still move with all these things on his body!

Zhang Yan said seriously, "Unless Your Majesty gives up the idea of ​​leading the army in person, none of these can be missing."

After saying that, she pointed to the two revolvers on the table next to her.

"You have to take care of these two yourself, and you can't rely on your personal guards!"

Zhu Youxiao:..........

Including these two guns, the whole set of equipment weighs more than 100 kilograms!

I am the emperor, not a heavy cavalryman!

Seeing that he looked like he had lost all hope in life, Concubine Rong interrupted with a smile.

"Your Majesty is not weak, right?"

"If that's the case, you might as well stay in the palace and enjoy your life."

"What about the three or five batches you mentioned a few days ago? I am not incapable of considering it..."

Zhu Youxiao glared at him: "What a joke! Am I such a superficial person?!"

"Wang Tiqian, take them out. I want to teach Concubine Rong a lesson!"

Wang Tiqian immediately grabbed all the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall and ran out as if escaping.

As the palace door creaked shut, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his dragon claw hand towards Concubine Rong with a wicked smile on his face.

Two hours later.

I shed tears silently, and heard the sound of changing clothes.

Zhu Youxiao said that this kind of thing can only be imagined and cannot be done for real!

Otherwise, you might be killed at any moment!

Zhang Yan squatted beside the bed, gently brushed his face twice with the end of her hair, and said with a playful look on her face.

"Your Majesty, I understand that you will be leading the army in person in three days, so I didn't have to do any hard work for you from beginning to end..."

The next day, Zhu Youxiao didn't go out for the whole day!

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't...

There were red and swollen spots on both legs, as if they had been beaten with shoe soles...

Therefore, he directly left things like offering sacrifices to heaven and the Imperial Ancestral Temple before going to war to Zhu Youjian.

He himself experienced three consecutive days of treatment in the ICU.

Of course, there are some differences from the ICU, for example, there are girls.

And it's an automatic transmission...

April 12, the eighth year of Tianqi.

After being a disabled person for three days, Zhu Youxiao finally stood up again.

The only achievement in these three days was that Zhang Yan and the others finally agreed to change the three-layer armor to two-layer armor.

At this time, outside the Qianqing Palace, there were already flags everywhere.

The military generals were headed by Sun Chengzong, followed by Sun Kangwang, Zhang Weixian, Qin Liangyu and others.

The civil officials, led by Wen Tihen, Zhu Youjian and the six ministers, had also been waiting for a long time.

When Zhu Youxiao appeared in bright yellow and silver armor, everyone cheered in unison.

"Long live your Majesty!"

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

Zhu Youxiao walked slowly to the center of the imperial steps and raised his right fist to the sky.

"The Ming Dynasty has suffered from the Jiannu for a long time!"

"Wild Boar Skin is so delusional that he actually intends to get involved in the Central Plains!"

"Although the leader of the thieves is dead, his descendants are still thieves!"

"They have repeatedly invaded my borders, plundered my people, and destroyed my homeland!"

"I swear in the name of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I must use my slaves' blood to comfort the souls of the people in heaven!"

"I will use your head to restore the former glory of our Ming Dynasty!"

"We must let the world know that anyone who dares to offend our Ming Dynasty will be killed in hell!"

"This battle will not end until victory!"

A group of generals immediately echoed him, also clenched their fists towards the sky and roared loudly.

"No victory, no return!"

"No victory, no return!"

"No victory, no return!"

"set off!"

After shouting three times, Zhu Youxiao jumped on his horse and fired his revolver into the sky.

The northern expedition begins!

Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhang Yan and a group of concubines watched his departing back, their eyes all wet with tears.

They all knew that this was a battle that concerned the fate of the country.

If we win, there will be no worries in the north and the Ming Dynasty will have hope for revival.

If you lose...

No one dared to imagine what the outcome would be!

Zhang Yan wiped away her tears and turned to look at Concubine Rong and others.

"They are all well and healthy. I hope our efforts these past few days have not been in vain."

"You have all been drinking the medicine prescribed by Miss Song for some time."

"If I can see a few pregnant women when Your Majesty returns, it will be a double blessing!"

Outside the hall, Wen Tiren and Zhu Youjian also looked at each other.

"Let's go. With His Majesty away, the government affairs are all up to the two of us. We must make sure nothing goes wrong."

..............

Outside Deshengmen.

The 40,000 troops from the Shenji Camp and the Wujun Camp had gathered here. When Zhu Youxiao and the Jinyiwei passed by, they all lined up to follow.

In addition to the 40,000 troops, there were also 1,000 newly selected Xuanwu Lang and 1,000 medical ladies.

Led by Youtong and Liuyue, they followed closely on both sides of the imperial carriage.

After leaving the capital, the team headed eastward.

When passing Tongzhou, Dingbianwei and Shenwuzhongwei joined in.

When they arrived at Yingzhou, the Xingzhou Houtunwei, Yingzhou Houtunwei, Yingzhou Qiantunwei and Zhenshuowei also joined the army one after another.

When they arrived in Yutian, the three guards from Tianjin rushed over.

When they arrived at Yongping Prefecture, Kaiping Zhongtunwei and Xingzhou Qiantunwei also heard the news and took action.

When they arrived at Shanhaiguan, with the addition of Dongsheng Youwei, Funing Wei, and Shanhaiwei, Zhu Youxiao's 40,000 troops had expanded to 150,000!

It can be said that, except for those important garrisons that are responsible for guarding the border walls, all the troops in the northeast of the entire Ming Dynasty have arrived!

"My ministers welcome you, Your Majesty!"

At the foot of Shanhaiguan, Wang Zhichen, Zu Dashou and others led troops to welcome him. After Zhu Youxiao chatted with them casually for a few words, he began to search the crowd.

Soon, he found the person he was looking for!

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in a white robe following behind Zu Dashou!

"Your name is Wu Sangui?"

Chapter 266 Huang Taiji's First Appearance

At this time, Wu Sangui was far less outstanding than he would be a few years later.

At the age of sixteen, he spent all day studying with Wu Xiang or Zu Dashou, and had not even taken part in the martial arts examination.

So, when his name was called by the emperor, he felt a little frightened and hurried forward to salute.

"I, Wu Sangui, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao looked him up and down, then looked at Zu Dashou and said with a smile.

"This boy seems quite smart. I intend to keep him by my side. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Zu Dashou immediately pulled Wu Sangui down and knelt down together.

"It is this kid's blessing to be favored by His Majesty!"

"Uncle Chang, why don't you thank me now!"

Changbo was Wu Sangui's courtesy name. After getting the hint, although he didn't understand why the emperor fell in love with him, he could only kowtow and express his gratitude.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded, then took out a revolver from his waist and handed it over.

"Take it. From now on, my safety will be in your hands!"

Looking at the shining pistol, Sun Kangwang and You Tong were shocked.

You know, up to now, the number of people in the entire Ming Dynasty who have been personally bestowed with revolvers by the emperor can be counted on one hand!

How could this little kid, who looks like a baby, deserve such an honor?

Wu Sangui didn't know what this revolver represented, and it was the first time he saw it.

"Your Majesty, may I ask what this thing is used for?"

Zhu Youxiao winked at the side and Li Dingguo came out.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to use this thing!"

After the two men left, Zhu Youxiao walked up the stairs to the top of the city wall of Shanhaiguan and looked to the north.

Zu Dashou, Wang Zhichen and others followed behind step by step, not daring to breathe.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked.

"Has the Jiannu made any unusual moves recently?"

Zu Dashou quickly replied: "Your Majesty, there was nothing unusual when I came here from Jinzhou."

Wang Zhichen also nodded and said, "It will take some time for the snow outside the Great Wall to thaw than inside the Great Wall. Now the roads in Shenyang are still blocked by heavy snow. Even if Jian Nu wants to do something, it will probably be inconvenient."

Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked at the two of them, his lips curled up slightly and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

"My army has already reached Shanhaiguan, how could the Jian Nu know nothing about it?"

In fact, Huang Taiji had already received news that the Ming Dynasty was going to take the initiative to attack!

After all, such a big commotion can’t be hidden from anyone!

Zhu Youxiao had no intention of hiding it from anyone!

At this time in the city of Shenyang, Huang Taiji sat on the dragon throne that was carved into four different shapes, looking at everyone in the hall with a serious gaze.

"The Emperor of Ming is now leading his army towards us!"

"Tell me, how are we going to fight this battle?!"
