Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

After Prince Xin had his fill, he patted his stomach and walked to Prince Lu’s door.

Prince Lu was lying on the ground motionless. He came up and touched the other person's arm with his shoe.

"Hey, it's time for Prince Lu to play the piano. Hurry up and play."

It would have been fine if he hadn't touched it, but once he touched it, Prince Lu cried out in pain.

Li Dingguo saw that after the King of Qin finished his breakfast, he sat cross-legged in front of the door and closed his eyes to rest.

I have to admire this old man's stable mentality.

But it's no use being so steady. Your tricks have already been discovered by me. Just wait for the consequences to come your way.

He just followed the crowd out of the thatched hut area and headed towards the construction site.

And turned his attention back to Zhu Cunji.

After spending another day working and monitoring, he found that Zhu Cunji did not come into contact with new people and did not have much emotional fluctuations, except for occasionally chatting with a few laborers he often came into contact with.

It seems that the guy he buried yesterday did not attract his attention.

Li Dingguo therefore speculated that the organization of these 8,000 troops was not strict.

At night, two hundred elite soldiers gathered in the dense forest and reported today's results.

The locations of the eight thousand Qin soldiers and eight princes have been figured out!

Li Dingguo was quite satisfied with this.

At this moment, several very regular calls of night owls suddenly came from the north of the dense forest.

"Ma Mengqi, take the brothers and wait here. I'll be back soon."

"As ordered!"

Before Ma Mengqi finished speaking, Li Dingguo had already flown out.

He quickly shuttled through the dense forest, leaping and running more than a hundred meters in the direction of the night owl's cry.

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped down from the tree in front.

Li Dingguo dodged and retreated quickly, holding his short sword across his chest in a defensive posture, and was the first to speak: "The brocade clothes are fluttering."

The other party quickly replied: "The Beijing flag is fluttering!"

Hearing the correct signal, Li Dingguo lifted his defensive state and put away his knife.

"This is the latest secret order from His Majesty." The man in black quickly handed over a small brass tube sealed with wax.

After Li Dingguo skillfully took the things, the man in black leaped backwards without saying anything, and disappeared into the night after a few jumps.

He was used to it and didn't care. He took out a fire starter from his pocket and blew it up. After taking out the secret order and reading it, a smile appeared on his face.

"God is really helping me!"

After saying that, he burned the secret order and quickly returned the same way.

After a while, Ma Mengqi saw his figure reappear, and couldn't help but said happily: "Master is back!"

Li Dingguo didn't waste any words and gave the order directly.

"We will not go back to the disaster resettlement area tonight."

"Go to the hiding place of the soldiers and horses immediately, rest for a night, and go to the resettlement area fully armed tomorrow morning."

Two hundred elite soldiers clasped their fists and responded in unison: "As you command!"

The same scene was happening in Man Gui and Zhang Nianting's teams in other locations.

The next morning.

Six hundred elite cavalrymen came towards the south of Taiyuan City, leaving a cloud of dust behind.

When Zhen Bei saw this scene, his face became solemn. He quickly led his men to meet them, hoping that they were friends and not enemies.

When he got closer and saw Li Dingguo, he couldn't help but feel relieved and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He knows this boy!

When His Majesty arranged for the Jinyiwei to take the test, the opponent he chose was the Shenjiying.

This boy was Lu Xiangsheng's capable subordinate. Zhen Beiwang was impressed by him because he was too young.

Looking at the weapon systems of the other two groups of troops, he could tell they were from the Three Thousand Battalion and the Five Army Battalion.

He immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am the commander of the Northern Pacification Division of the Jinyiwei, Zhen Beiwang, and I am responsible for the safety of the emperor."

"I wonder what important matter the brothers from the Beijing camp have come here for?"

Man Gui directly took out a token.

"I am Man Gui, the commander of the 3,000-man battalion. We have received a secret order from Your Majesty to assist the officials in managing the workers who are digging the canal."

Zhen Beiwang checked the token and returned it, waving his hand and saying, "Come here, send the brothers from the Beijing camp to see Cheng Yu, the deputy director of the Du Shuisi!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The Jinyiwei behind him stepped forward immediately.

"My three lords, please follow me."

As he said this, he led three groups of people to find Cheng Yu.

During this time, Li Dingguo kept staring at Zhen Beiwang fiercely and gritting his teeth.

He remembered clearly that it was this guy who caused chaos in their Shenji Camp and made them lose all face.

If he hadn't been busy, he would really like to find an opportunity to humiliate this guy.

Three groups of troops and six hundred elite cavalry rumbled past, attracting the attention of many people.

In the thatched hut area, King Qin was the first to stand up. He looked outside, his heart tense again.

The princes haven't arrived yet, and His Majesty hasn't appeared yet, so how come so many troops have arrived!

It is true that good things take time and great things are not easy to achieve.

He pretended to take a stroll and came to the side of the Jinyiwei he was familiar with.

"Where did these people come from? They look very powerful!"

"Your Highness, they just arrived. I have been on duty here so I don't know. I will go and find out for you as soon as I get off duty."

"Well, tell me as soon as you find out, and I'll reward you."

"Thank you, Your Highness! Although I don't know exactly where they came from, it seems that there are only about 500 to 600 of them."

"Well, very good, tell me when you have inquired carefully."

After the King of Qin finished speaking, he continued strolling for a while before returning to his house.

I just heard that the number of new soldiers and horses is about five to six hundred, which made him feel a little relieved.

Even with these troops, the number of combat-capable soldiers in Taiyuan City is less than 4,000. What is there to be afraid of?

Chapter 426 You don’t understand

The arrival of 600 elite cavalrymen from the Beijing camp not only attracted the attention of the King of Qin, but also caused tension among the 8,000 hidden rebels.

It was not yet time to start work, and in front of the resettlement area, people were looking at this well-disciplined team with curiosity and amazement.

Zhu Cunji's subordinate who was in charge of communication came forward with worried eyes and whispered:

"Second Master, I don't know what happened. Why did so many elite soldiers suddenly come? Did some of our brothers give themselves away?"

Zhu Cunji said confidently: "It's impossible. If we were already exposed, how could these soldiers walk past us so brazenly?"

"If I were them, I would definitely lurk around them quietly, then suddenly burst out and capture and kill them in one fell swoop."

"What do you mean by treacherous tactics in war, deception is not unfair in war, and speed is the essence of war... You don't understand!"

The subordinate smiled and said, "That's right, I don't know anything about this. Among all the masters, the Second Master is the most knowledgeable about military operations."

Zhu Cunji said excitedly: "Of course not! Look at those Jinyiwei, I don't even take them seriously."

"This group of new soldiers is quite good. They are barely qualified to be my opponent. It's a pity that there are not enough of them."

After he finished speaking, he took a big bite of dried sea fish, chewed it with the porridge, and swallowed it with a gulp. Only then did he say with satisfaction:

"Ah! This dried fish is really rare. I heard that several million kilograms were shipped in a few days ago. If I wait a few more days, all of it will be mine. Hahahaha, I'm going to eat as much as I can!"

......

On the other side, Cheng Yu, the Deputy Director of the Water Conservancy Department, was also having breakfast. When he heard that his superiors had sent people to help him manage the laborers, he immediately dropped his bowl and ran out happily.

I thought that the higher-ups would transfer some yamen runners and clerks from Taiyuan Prefecture and nearby counties to come and help.

But he never expected that the group sent here would be six hundred elite cavalrymen.

The military appearance and discipline of this army are even more regular than those of the regular army!

But when Man Gui announced his family's name, Cheng Yu was stunned.

Good guy!

The commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp is here!

This is a great general!

How could he, a fifth-rank official, dare to give orders to others?

After respectfully and politely explaining the conditions of each construction site to the three people, he let them make their own arrangements.

Previously, because His Majesty wanted the princes to go to work, Cheng Yu specially guarded a construction site.

Now that all the princes were lying down, he went back and forth to inspect the construction sites as usual.

After Li Dingguo and Man Gui separated, they led the team quickly to the resettlement area and stopped.

The sudden approach of the military horses attracted the attention and nervousness of many civilians.

But a young general in the front pointed at everyone with a whip and said loudly:

"There is an urgent canal digging mission that requires the participation of strong civilians. All selected warriors will set out with me immediately. The wages and food for all participants will be doubled!"

When the laborers heard this, they were shocked and shouted that they wanted to join in.

"Sir, choose me! Choose me! I can carry 300 kilograms!"

"Choose me! I can hold a cow with one hand!"

"Sir, don't let him brag, choose me! I can eat a cow!"

The crowd was noisy, saying all sorts of things...

Li Dingguo gave Ma Mengqi a look.

Ma Mengqi understood and immediately led two hundred elite soldiers to dismount and walk into the huge crowd.

A quarter of an hour later, Ma Mengqi and the soldiers had brought out the undercover personnel they had been following.

Including the eight princes, there were a total of 8,007 people.

Those civilians who were not selected could not help but stamp their feet in regret.

After the people gathered, Li Dingguo gave the order and set off.

When the officials of the Du Shui Si saw this scene, they said nothing.

Although Li Dingguo was not a general, in their eyes he was placed on the same level as Man Gui.

He is a great general, it is not their business to decide what he does.

It doesn't matter if there are fewer people on the project under my command, as the number of laborers is increasing every day anyway.

So Li Dingguo took away more than 8,000 people, and no one asked any questions.

In this way, they headed north and gradually disappeared from people's sight.

The team of more than 8,000 people was extremely large and noisy.

As they marched, the eight princes quickly gathered in the center of the team.

There are layers of human walls outside to protect them, and there is also rolling dust to cover them.

Several people were talking as they walked.
