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

He whipped the horse hard and passed Li Dingguo.

"Brother, stay behind. I will go to the front to clear the way for Your Majesty!"

Seventy miles north of Zhengcunba is Huairou.

Dayang Mountain and Yunmeng Sanyu are located in Huairou, and are also the destination of Zhu Youxiao's trip.

At the foot of Niulan Mountain, Yingzhou Zuotunwei.

Commander Qu Haiyang was newly promoted after the Battle of Liaodong. He was eating when he saw his personal guards running towards him in a hurry.

"Sir! Urgent report from the Ministry of War!"

"Read!"

Qu Haiyang took a deep sip of the dumpling soup and said without raising his head.

But the guard came forward with a bitter face and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.

"Sir, yes, it's a telegram..."

"what?"

Qu Haiyang stood up suddenly, without even bothering to look at his overturned bowl.

He snatched the piece of paper from the guard's hand and strode towards the dormitory.

After a while, he carefully took out a copy of Tao Te Ching from under the bed. After opening it, he found that the content inside was pieced together from several books.

But this is not important, what matters is that the password is correct.

According to the instructions given by someone who came from the capital a few days ago, he looked up the characters corresponding to the codes one by one.

Soon, his eyes widened.

What the hell!

Your Majesty actually left the city with less than a hundred people?

Moreover, it is coming towards me?

After putting away the copy of the Tao Te Ching which was disguised as a fake, he ran outside, shouting as he ran.

"Somebody come!"

"Someone come quickly!"

"Follow me to welcome you!"

The guards outside were also shocked when they heard the order. They hurriedly tidied up their clothes and armor and rushed out of the military camp with Qu Haiyang.

The remaining soldiers in the camp were also in chaos.

Welcoming the emperor is a big deal!

Who knows if the emperor will suddenly come to inspect the camp?

In the evening, Zhu Youxiao and his party finally arrived at the foot of Niulan Mountain after Qu Haiyang had been waiting for a long time.

"I, General Qu Haiyang, respectfully welcome the Holy Emperor!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Qu Haiyang and the hundreds of soldiers behind him and couldn't help but frown.

"How did you know I would come here?"

Qu Haiyang knelt on one knee and answered truthfully: "Your Majesty! It was Prince Xin who ordered the Ministry of War to send a telegram to me, saying that you only brought 60 cavalrymen with you to leave the capital, and he was worried about your Majesty's safety!"

"The telegram also said that His Royal Highness Prince Xin will be here soon!"

Zhu Youxiao:........

Got it!

Damn, with the telegraph, I can’t sneak out anymore!

He was not worried about his whereabouts being disclosed. This place was near the capital. Not to mention the soldiers from the surrounding guards, the people led by Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui alone were not within the reach of ordinary thieves.

To be honest, if sixty Chengying swords fire together, even if more than 5,000 people from Yingzhou Zuotunwei attack together, it will probably be in vain!

As for the security of the telegram, there is no need to consider it for the time being.

The military is different from the local area. The garrisons that were able to receive the telegram first have all been repeatedly investigated by the Embroidered Uniform Guard and are considered the most reliable group of people.

For example, Qu Haiyang in front of us was originally a captain of Shanhaiguan. He performed bravely during the conquest of the Jurchens, and was promoted to the commander of the Left Tunwei of Yingzhou.

"Okay, get up!"

Zhu Youxiao dismounted and waved to him.

"Since Prince Xin is coming, I will wait for him in your camp for a while."

"Tell your brothers to do what they are supposed to do. It's not like the enemy is approaching us. Why are you so nervous?"

Chapter 530 Prince Xin is Chasing

Qu Haiyang stood up and dispersed the soldiers under his command.

"Your Majesty, I think you haven't had your meal yet. How about I send someone to prepare it?"

"No need, I will just wait here for Prince Xin."

Although the military camp was close at hand, Zhu Youxiao had no intention of going in.

I think Prince Xin won’t be too slow, so I might as well stand by the roadside and wait for a while.

Since he had nothing to do, Zhu Youxiao asked Qu Haiyang about the current situation of the Zuotunwei in Yingzhou.

In the battle of Liaodong, Sun Chengzong accompanied the emperor on the expedition, and the details of each guard were exposed at once.

The empty salaries and shortfalls cannot be concealed even if we want to.

After the war, during the time when Zhu Youxiao went to Shanxi, Sun Chengzong had already begun to reorganize military affairs.

The current Yingzhou Zuotunwei has 4,000 soldiers, with a shortage of 1,600.

But these four thousand men are all strong and powerful.

The old, weak, sick and disabled who were only there to take up places but not to go to the battlefield have all been cleared out.

Three of the five thousand households of this guard were replaced during the reorganization, and the entire Yingzhou Zuotun Guard had a new look.

The new recruits were mixed with the old soldiers and divided into five thousand households. They had a small exercise every day and a large exercise every three days.

Fuck it, be gentle.

Just run five kilometers around the school field.

You can do whatever you want after sex. With the help of Xuanwu Lang, you can also study and learn to read.

Fuck hard, fuck hard.

In addition to carrying a load for five kilometers, there are also battle formation drills, combat shooting, etc.

After fucking, they all lay on the bed and rolled their eyes like dead dogs.

As they were chatting, they heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves coming from the south.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head and took a look, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.

This brother......

What do you want to do?

When they got closer, they saw Man Gui, who was beside Prince Xin, dismounted and saluted first.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! Long live the Emperor!"

Prince Xin also jumped off his horse and said with concern.

"Brother Emperor, I have finally caught up with you!"

"You are the king of a country, how can you leave the capital with only a few people!"

Zhu Youxiao was speechless and pointed at the dark mass of cavalry behind the two of them and asked.

"So, this is why you pulled out the Three Thousand Battalion?"

"You're here, why are you bringing so many people?"

"You brought five thousand people here at once. Are you planning to wipe out all nine tribes of wild beasts on Dayang Mountain?"

In this era, one can determine how many people are in an army simply by counting the flags.

From thousand households to hundred households, and then to general flags and small flags, the styles of flags are different.

At this moment, among the cavalry in front of them, there were five thousand-household flags and one full-laurel flag!

Five thousand people, definitely not wrong!

Prince Xin coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "Please forgive me, my emperor. I have never led troops before."

"I'm thinking of taking people west after the New Year, so I'll take this opportunity to experience it first."

It sounded easy to him, but five thousand men were not something he could mobilize easily, not even if he was Prince Xin.

For these five thousand people, he first looked for Wen Tiren and Sun Chengzong, and then asked the princess to go to the harem to find Zhang Yan.

Two cabinet members, plus the current empress and the minister of war.

The four of them signed and stamped the transfer order together, and only then were they able to mobilize three thousand battalions.

But even so, Mangui still followed him out of concern.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, he will have too many heads to chop off...

Dayang Mountain is about thirty miles away from here. Now that everyone is here, Zhu Youxiao can't send them back.

I simply took them all with me, said goodbye to Qu Haiyang, and continued on my journey towards the northwest.

When we arrived at the foot of Dayang Mountain, it was already dark.

Man Gui ordered his men to set up the tents, but there were only two, one for each of Zhu Youxiao's brothers.

Then it was time to chop wood, make a fire, and cook.

All of this is no different from marching and fighting a war.

After dinner, five thousand cavalrymen worked in two shifts, responsible for guarding in the first and second half of the night respectively.

As for how to rest...

Just dig a hole in the snow and crawl into it, put some hay underneath, and cover yourself with it.

It was cold for sure, but the Three Thousand Battalion had almost gotten used to it.

As the only pure cavalry unit among the three camps, wilderness survival and long-distance raids are their compulsory courses.

And this operation, in Man Gui's words, can be regarded as an exercise.

The next morning, on Dayang Mountain.

Zhu Youxiao walked among the mountains and forests holding the dragon tongue, with Man Gui and Wu Sangui following behind him.

However, Prince Xin and Li Dingguo took another path.

When hunting, there has to be some prize.

The question given by Zhu Youxiao was to see who could kill a blind bear first.

If they won, Li Dingguo and others would have to carry the load for ten kilometers.

If Li Dingguo won, he would be allowed to go west with Prince Xin after the new year.

"Your Majesty, can I try your gun?"

Along the way, Man Gui stared at Cheng Ying intently, his saliva almost flowing out.

When setting up camp last night, he vaguely heard the soldiers of the Shenji Camp talking about this gun. The exaggerated performance of the gun kept him awake all night.

All night long, a picture kept lingering in his mind!

The three thousand battalions of cavalrymen, each holding a shadow, are invincible on the battlefield!

The trigger was pulled, and the enemy was swept down before they could get within a hundred meters.
