I am the king of the dead

chapter 47
Zhu Qiyu did his own duty first and inspected the city gates. Because the autumn harvest has passed, most of the people who cannot run have been placed in the official buildings in the city, so there is no need to worry about the people having no way to close the city gate. escape.

After patrolling the nine gates of the capital, he did not find anything unusual. He asked the soldiers under the city a little, only to know that Yu Qian was also patrolling the city defenses of various gates, and stopped after turning to Deshengmen.

Deshengmen is the way of soldiers. All sergeants can only enter and exit through Deshengmen. Each city gate performs its own duties. Because Deshengmen has two water gates, it is very easy to break through, so it is also heavily populated.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the hanging basket at the head of the city and slowly descended under the city wall, while the accompanying Jinyiwei slid down the ropes one by one.

As King Yu, Zhu Qiyu naturally knew martial arts, but he still couldn't do such a slip of more than ten meters. He shook his head, and then rode towards the civilian house outside Deshengmen.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty has been in operation for nearly 80 years since Xu Da conquered Yuan Dadu and renamed Khan Bali as Beijing. Especially after Zhu Dijingnan succeeded in proclaiming himself emperor, the re-planned and rebuilt capital developed faster and faster.

The city could not accommodate so many people, and some people could not afford the high cost of living in the city, so they had to live outside the city gates.

The largest gathering place is outside Chaoyangmen. Because of the grain route, there are the most people outside Chaoyangmen.

This is called the box in the Ming Dynasty, and outside the box is the wild.

Zhu Qiyu rode a fast horse to the house, turned over and dismounted, and came to the Tenth Regiment Camp outside Deshengmen, a very ordinary house.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wanfu Jinan." Yu Qian was discussing with Shi Heng and Liu An about the strategy to meet the enemy, when he heard Tong's report that His Majesty came down from the city wall, and hurried out to greet him.

"Let's take a look." Zhu Qiyu didn't distrust Yu Qian's command, nor did he disbelieve his loyalty, but simply wanted to come and see.

Staying in the city is really boring and uneasy.

Although he knew the outcome of the war, he was still quite nervous when it came to an end.

He walked between the houses with torches, and it was obvious that the people were evacuating in a hurry when they left, full of messy traces. Some sergeants were packing up the sundries and stacking them in the courtyard.

And Zhu Qiyu noticed that they were repairing some walls more than ten feet high, turning some intersections into T-junctions.

In some high places of the houses, many towers have been built, with sentries on them, and if you look at it from a distance, you can still see the bronze bell hanging.

And all kinds of knife carts and trolleys are parked on the side of the road and can be used at any time.

"The T-shaped street can block the speed and strength of the cavalry's charge, and the chariot can effectively block the rapid charge of the cavalry, and in this kind of roadway, our army can also use bows, arrows, and firearms to carry out high-level positions on the roofs of each house. Attack." Yu Qian said as he walked, Yu Qian did not have a temporary idea for the idea of ​​a decisive battle outside the city.

Obviously, these fortifications cannot be arranged in a short time, especially the renovation of private houses.

"Why not set up antlers and thorns?" Zhu Qiyu asked strangely.

Yu Qian said helplessly: "Our goal is to delay the main force and elites, so that they don't go to other places and loot everywhere, so we need to nail them in the houses outside the city."

"If we have enough horses, we don't need to be so helpless at all. Just one fine cavalry will be enough to make the first move."

"Pity…"

Yu Qian's eyes turned to the northwest. There was the Tumu Fort. The elites of Daming, including the horse army, were all smashed in the Tumu Fort. A strong and powerful horse army could not be cultivated overnight, but a month.

Even Daming was a little pessimistic about whether he could restore the size of the previous horse army.

"Where's Tiqi?" Zhu Qiyu heard Yu Qian's helplessness and immediately made a proposal.

Ti, is a bright yellow cloth. Tiqi usually refers to the emperor's own army. In Daming, Jinyiwei is Tiqi.

Tiqi was rated at 1 members. Apart from the thousands of fine cavalry who died in Tumubao, Daming still had nearly [-] Tiqi.

"I said before that Yu Shangshu doesn't have to be scruples, everything in war is subject to Yu Shangshu's orders." At this time, Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian were the two people, and Zhu Qiyu bluntly explained his determination to win.

He is a concubine emperor himself, but he has fewer scruples. Since he needs a fine cavalry, the fine cavalry he directly commands is the Jin Yiwei!
Yu Qian looked at Zhu Qiyu's pertinence, and did not hide it any more, and said with great certainty: "Your Majesty does not know, if the war is not smooth, Tiqi will protect His Majesty and the harem to the south, bandits, bandits, and defeated soldiers along the way. The fine cavalry is for the royal family to move south."

"I have the determination to die for Daming." Zhu Qiyu said with certainty.

Yu Qian thought about it for a long time before saying, "Just now, His Majesty mentioned that Wang Zhi said in the hall, the monarch, Yuan Ye, the source is clear, and the source is clear, and the source is turbid."

"Why do the ministers in the palace hold their heads and cry? This is a group of dragons without heads. If Your Majesty suffers, then the Ming Dynasty will really be over. Not everyone has the luck of Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou."

Yu Qian's words are simple and straightforward, Zhu Qiyu is a pig, and he cannot die.

Once he dies, the world will be in chaos, there is no room for change, he is the banner of Daming, as long as he is still alive, under this world, he is the emperor.

The sky cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a ruler for a day.

Zhu Qiyu reluctantly accepted this reality, nodded and said, "Yu Shangshu, always said, do it first."

"Whether it's training troops, maintaining military discipline, or fighting the enemy, it's the same."

"I always feel that Yu Shangshu has the chance to win, and this battle will be won by Ming Dynasty!"

"But Yu Shangshu is always ready to send me and Zhu Ming to the south, isn't this a bit..."

Weird, it doesn't taste right.

Yu Qian explained with a smile: "The art of war has a cloud, before you think about victory, you first think about defeat, so you can fight a hundred battles without slack."

Zhu Qiyu immediately understood that even if the worst outcome was taken into account, even if the battle to defend the capital was lost, Daming would not die.

"I understand, Yu Shangshu deserves to be a talent for saving the world."

Yu Qian hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wrong."

Zhu Qiyu looked around at the houses. The expressions of these soldiers were very determined, not a little timid, and even had hatred and anger in their eyes.

Yu Qian mentioned another thing and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked why the sergeants of Daming were not afraid of the battle outside Xing'an City, and Xing'an asked the minister if what he said was correct. He was afraid that he was talking nonsense and blinded His Majesty's judgment."

"Your Majesty, the sergeants are not afraid."

"They don't want their wives to be arbitrarily abused by the Oaras, and they don't want their sons to be slaves to the Oaras for generations."

"They've lived like this for over 500 years."

"They are sergeants of the Ming Dynasty. If they die, their father will go to battle. If their father dies, their younger brother will go to battle."

"If the minister dies in battle, the son of the minister will go to the battlefield. If the son of the minister dies in the battle, the grandson of the minister will go to the battlefield until the last moment."

"Your Majesty, this is the answer of this minister."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the figures of the sergeants who came and went in a hurry. Although they were very immature, they were not timid at all, which formed an extremely sharp contrast with the civil servants in the court.

"I understand." Zhu Qiyu nodded again. When he couldn't understand some questions, Yu Qian was always able to give him the correct answer.
