Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Chapter 180 The late emperor’s unfinished business

The death of a hundred noble families in Jinyi in Huguang was undoubtedly a provocation by local forces against the Ming court.

The capital has realized that the emperor today is not a weakling who is deeply influenced by Confucianism, but an emperor with Taizong's blood flowing in his body. It is absolutely impossible to sit idly by such a provocation.

Since the group of people who attacked the Imperial Guards were most likely local armed forces, many people immediately wanted the Aegis Camp built by the Emperor himself. The Emperor would probably directly send this ace unit to Huguang to wipe out all the monsters, ghosts, and snakes.

It was only then that many people realized that the SHIELD battalion that had been training frequently had disappeared from the capital for a long time.

Where did Camp SHIELD go?

This matter is a secret of the high-level officials, and the scholars and people in the capital have no way of knowing about it.

The sky is clear, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep can be seen low.

There are a few white clouds floating in the blue-based sky, speckled wildflowers appear on the green-based grassland, and groups of pure white sheep are grazing silently.

Several Aha who were slaves of the lord were talking about the interesting stories of following the lord Lang Buerha to the North Korean border to plunder. When they talked about how many breaths it would take to die by slitting each other's throats, the leader of them, the man with dreadlocks, was beaming and talking. Foam flew everywhere.

They were actually the slaves of the lord. They were usually responsible for tending sheep for the lord, but if they wanted to live a more fulfilling life, they could only go to the border areas of Korea or the Ming Dynasty to plunder.

Only the things obtained through robbery are the property that truly belongs to them, so they enjoy it endlessly.

Affected by things that could not be discussed a few years ago, their lord originally only dared to take them to the North Korean border to plunder, but in the past two years, they have also started to loot Liaodong again.

In particular, they heard that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a wise emperor, and that the governor of Liaodong, Liu Gong, who was now in charge of Liaodong, was a good old man who liked to keep things quiet, so they naturally took more actions against Liaodong.

"Our master said that as long as we wait until September, before we retreat to the north, we will go to Ming Dynasty to rob some women...!" The leader of the men with dreadlocks deliberately lowered his voice.

call out!

A cold arrow flew from the hillside, and the arrow penetrated the trachea of ​​the man with dreadlocks from the side of his neck, and a stream of blood instantly poured out from his neck.

The man with the dreadlocks fell to the ground immediately, but he did not die on the spot. He tightly covered the wound on his neck with one hand and looked towards the hillside in horror.

Just now he was talking vividly about how many breaths he would die if his throat was cut, but now the retribution was on him, and he was struggling to survive with his mouth wide open and gasping for air.

"Ming Army? The Ming Army is here!"

Several Aha turned their heads and looked at the hillside, and they were suddenly shocked.

Since the three guards of Jianzhou were met with the thunderous wrath of Emperor Chenghua, the Ming court sent an army led by Wang Zhi to sweep their territory, and under the banner of "destroy their nests and eliminate their species".

From that time on, the relationship between the three guards of Jianzhou and Ming Ting dropped to a freezing point.

I thought that after surviving the ruthless Emperor Chenghua, and now welcoming the kind new emperor, their relationship would be restored, but I never expected that the Ming army would come again.

call out! call out! call out!

Several cold arrows flew from the hillside, taking Aha away before he could react.

Baa baa...

As stray arrows fell into the flock, the frightened sheep took cover one after another, but they watched the group of outsiders armed with bows and arrows warily.

puff!

A cavalry team came to several corpses. When they saw the man with dreadlocks who had his throat pierced and still wanted to survive, they stabbed him directly.

The man with the dreadlocks tried his best to survive in vain. Although his breath had been cut off, his eyes were open unwillingly, as if he was determined to die.

puff! puff! puff!

Several cavalrymen stabbed the corpses again. They were indifferent when they saw the blood splattering on themselves. They pulled out the Xuefeng knife and kicked the corpses aside.

"Master Deputy Qianhu, why don't you kill a few sheep here to reward the brothers?" A soldier looked at the sheep in front of him and suggested immediately.

"Watch your mouth! After destroying this gang of Jiannu slaves this time, you can eat well and drink spicy food every day when you return to the capital!" Chen Liang immediately cursed and asked the young man on the horse: "Jingwei Martial Arts You are such a talented person, where is the Bingdaokou?"

"Just go south and climb over the forest in front, and that's the mountain pass!" The young man who was holding the map pointed out his hand and seemed very sure.

The accompanying Liaodong veterans observed the terrain and looked around at a loss at first, but quickly agreed with the young man's judgment.

"Brothers, you all heard it! Let's go to the mountain pass ahead!" Chen Liang immediately mounted his horse and gave the order with a murderous look.

This is the first expedition of their SHIELD battalion. It is not only a real-life training for their SHIELD battalion, but also an act of revenge for their Ming Dynasty.

Facing Jiannu, who had been crippled by the Ming army earlier, he was holding back his anger and planned to complete the great unfinished work of the late emperor.

Behind the team are five hundred heavy cavalry, and behind them are thousands of Liaodong cavalry, and their mission this time is to guard the mountain pass in front.

While the people in the capital were still speculating on the movements of the SHIELD Battalion, this unit was not sent to Huguang, but had already been secretly sent to Liaodong.

Facing the ungrateful Jurchen tribe, only constant killing can relieve the hatred in their hearts.

After the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the Jurchen ancestors of Jianzhou moved all the way north and settled in the bitter cold land far north. As the northern Jurchen tribe Wudiha became increasingly powerful, Huihou, the father of Mengge Timur, was well aware of the disparity in strength between the two sides and was forced to move south in the fifth year of Hongwu.

The Jianzhou Jurchens led by Mengge Timur were defeated in the battle with the Udiha people. Seeing that the Jianzhou Jurchens were in danger of extinction, Mengge Timur's younger brothers Fancha and Dong Shan asked the Ming Dynasty to enter Liaodong for refuge.

The eleven-year-old Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty accepted the advice of civil servants, or he was compassionate, so he provided shelter to the Jurchens in Jianzhou, and even opened the Fushun Pass to allow them to trade tribute and trade with the Ming Dynasty, thus gaining a foothold in the Ming Dynasty. Borderlands take root and survive.

It's just that Jiannu is actually a bunch of white-eyed wolves. After being attacked by the Ming Dynasty, they frequently robbed the Ming Dynasty's borders. Especially taking advantage of the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national power after the Tumubao Incident, the leaders of the Jianzhou Guards, Li Manzhu and Dong Shan, raided the Ming Dynasty unscrupulously, looting as many as ninety-seven times in a year and killing thousands of people.

Although the then Minister of War and other civil servant groups strongly opposed the war and still wanted to enjoy the so-called blessings of peace with Dong Shan and his like, Emperor Chenghua resolutely attacked the Jianzhou Jurchens.

A full force of 50,000 troops committed a unilateral massacre, disarming all the weapons of the Jianzhou Jurchens, burning and killing countless villages, and directly went to Foala, the base camp of Jianzhou.

After destroying Wu Mi Mansion, Li Manzhu, his son Li Guna and others were captured and killed.

Fifteen years after reaching adulthood, just as Dong Shan had provoked him to "return and rebel again", Emperor Chenghua went on a second campaign. The eunuch Wang Zhi supervised the army and once again carried out a bloodbath against Jianzhou Jurchens in a big way.

There is just one kind of creature that can never change their appetites and habits.

When Zhu Youtang first came to the throne, he paid close attention to the movements of the Jurchen in Liaodong. Although the traditional civil servant Liu Gong, the governor of Liaodong, deliberately concealed the looting situation here, he knew that the Jurchen in Jianzhou was restless again.

Although the robbery of Jianzhou Jurchens is obviously much lower-key than before, and it is also the behavior of individual leaders, but... anyone who offends our border residents will naturally go to hell.

Just when everyone thought Zhu Youtang would recuperate, he secretly sent the SHIELD battalion to the northeast, but decided to teach this Jianzhou Jurchen a lesson again.

Huluyuan is a plain area shaped like a gourd.

At this time every year, Tuoyimo's tribe would gather in this fertile land given to them by the Ming court to graze their cattle and hunt in this mountain forest.

A group of Aha with pigtails were sharpening their knives on a stone to prepare for slaughtering a sheep. Suddenly they felt the earth shaking clearly, and they couldn't help but look towards the west.

kill!

Wearing heavy armor, Zhang Yong led the SHIELD battalion and shouted, holding a long sword.

kill!

The Aegis battalion behind him was like a tiger coming out of its cage. Facing the Jianzhou Jurchens scattered on the grassland here, Dang even flashed the long knife in his hand and said loudly.

In the big tent, Tuo Yimo was eating mutton cross-legged. When he heard the news that the Ming army had arrived in Huluyuan, he felt unbelievable and said: "How is it possible? How come there is no news at all?"

"Chief, the Ming army has really come from the west entrance. What should we do now?" The middle-aged man who came in to report looked very anxious.

Tuoyimo ate another piece of mutton with a knife, but asked seriously: "How many people are here?"

"I'm afraid there will be thousands of people coming from the front. It's hard to estimate right now, but they are probably going to sweep us away again!" The middle-aged man, who had experienced the fifteen-year war in Chenghua, said in a panic.

Tuoyimo chewed the mutton in his mouth, but shook his head gently and said: "No! The Ming army always sends sentries to conduct reconnaissance. It makes no sense to not send troops to find out our situation before pounce on us, unless... our tribe has someone Internal response!”

"Chief, now is not the time to think about these things, why don't we retreat first!" The middle-aged man suggested as he knew that they could not match the Ming army now.

The corners of Tuoyimo's mouth raised slightly, he wiped his mouth with his clothes and said: "It all shows that the army is powerful, but I don't believe it. I will meet them today!"

puff! puff! puff!

The Shield Battalion was originally the elite of the Beijing camp. After more than half a year of training, it was equipped with the top weapons, and then faced a unilateral massacre against the Jianzhou Jurchens who lacked iron weapons.

kill!

Hou Qian, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, knew that he wanted to avoid being held accountable by the court and did not want to end up like the governor of Liaodong, so he needed to show his final performance this time. At this moment, he also led the Liaodong cavalry to conduct a sweep.

"Retreat, retreat immediately!"

Tuoyimo led his troops to the narrow entrance of Huluyuan. When he saw the Ming army in front of him sweeping away his troops like a god of murder, he immediately changed his mind.

"Our retreat has been blocked by the Ming army!" Just when they were about to escape from the valley entrance to the east, news came.

The gourd was originally in the shape of a rift valley, running east-west, with mountains and forests on both sides.

Tuoyimo is not a reckless person. Although he doesn't understand how the Ming army came here silently, he knows that it is difficult for the Jianzhou Jurchens to compete with the Ming army.

Faced with the situation of a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, out of familiarity with the terrain, we decided to choose the southern trail.

Qianhu Zhao Kai, who was like a think tank in the SHIELD camp, had appeared on the top of the mountain at some point. With a wave of his hand, rockets fell into the dense forest below.

After all, it was an inaccessible place, and a raging fire ignited in the blink of an eye.

"Sama Senhu is really tall, so they have nowhere to escape!"

"This is all based on Wang Gong, who burned mountains and burned many slaves to death!"

"If that's the case, wouldn't it count as military merit?"

"As long as military merit is in our hearts, Your Majesty will serve us well!"

"Qianhu's lesson is that we only need to kill the enemy, and we shouldn't worry about these things!"

Zhao Kai watched the fire he lit getting bigger and bigger, but he wanted to burn some Jiannu who tried to escape into the dense forest, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.

kill!

Zhang Yong is determined to follow Wang Zhi's example and lead the SHIELD Camp to harvest the lives of the slaves here.

puff! puff! puff!

Relying on the advantage of their own armor, the SHIELD battalion pulled out the Snow Maple Sword they carried to harvest the lives of these sinful people after the sword was exhausted.

Only a few years have passed, and these damn Jurchens are ready to take action and want to retaliate against them. Naturally, they want to slaughter all these people.

"Kill!"

After hearing the commotion here, Deputy Qianhu Chen Liang also led the army to fight in from Dongshan Pass and killed all the Jiannu who tried to escape.

But when he and Zhang Yong met, they found that Tuoyimo was not there at all.

Zhao Kai, who was on the top of the mountain, had noticed that a group of cavalry had already escaped from the path before the heat spread to the south.

Tuoyimo did not expect that the Ming army would suddenly attack them, but they had their own advantages after all. Although they could not defeat the Ming army, they could easily escape.

"Are you Tuoyimo?"

"Who are you?"

"Aegis Camp Qianhu Iron Elephant Mountain!"

"There are only five hundred people. Are you overconfident?"

"Five hundred will eat you two hundred, without spending a single soldier, kill!"

Tie Xiangshan saw everything and was guessed by Zhao Kai. Tuoyimo really fled to his own path, even if he led his most elite subordinates to kill him.

The disadvantage of heavy cavalry is very obvious, that is, poor mobility. But it also has a very obvious advantage, that is - invincible in close combat.

kill!

Tie Xiangshan held a big sword and pretended to kill him.

kill!

The three hundred cavalry behind them chose the Xuefeng Dao. Facing unarmored Jiannu, it was more efficient to use the Xuefeng Dao to kill people.

Five hundred people versus two hundred people, the number of people occupies an absolute advantage.

Tuoyimo was originally proud of the bravery of his warriors, but when his waist knife struck the heavy armor, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Bang!

Because the knife was used too hard, when the waist knife was cut off, only one part of the knife in the hand was needed, and the knife that I had always been proud of was broken into two pieces.

Tie Xiangshan didn't want to take another look at this dirty braid, but he swung the long knife in his hand and struck hard on the neck of Tuoyimo, who had a look of astonishment on his face.
