Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 832
The little tigers were playing happily, and they didn't look like they were about to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy to the death.

Not on the battlefield, although Zhu Cihong is a prince, he will not interfere with their freedom.

He just smiled and watched the brothers fight, and didn't stop until Li Yan dismounted in front of them and saluted.

"Li Yan, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Seeing Li Yan salute, Zhu Cihong also jumped off his horse to help him:
"Master Li, hurry up and save yourself!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Then Huang Dahu, Huang Xiaohu, Zhang Fugui and other Xiaohus stepped forward to salute Li Yan:

"See Your Excellency the Governor!"

Li Yan had known for a long time that several young masters would go out with the crown prince:

"Several little generals are exempt!"

"Thank you, Governor!"

Although the little tigers are young masters, Li Yan is also the master and the number two person in this expedition, so they dare not be rude.

Li Yan himself is talented, and he is the number one counselor under Li Zicheng's command. He is now guarding the west gate for Daming.

He was also very happy to see that several princes had started to serve the country.

He knew that after the baptism of war, and the Prince's Army, they might all be the future figures of Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, please enter the city!"

The cavalry in the city cleared the way, and the army entered Suzhou City immediately.

The city had already prepared a banquet, just waiting for Zhu Cihong's arrival.

After arriving at the temporary commander-in-chief's mansion, Li Yan cupped his hands and said:
"His Royal Highness and the generals have worked hard all the way. Your Highness and the generals have prepared a banquet, please come to the banquet!"

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly:
"Okay, thank you Master Li!"

The generals had a banquet at the temporary commander's mansion, and the [-] troops who followed Zhu Cihong were also feasting in the barracks, and all the soldiers could only drink a small amount of alcohol.

…………

After the banquet, the soldiers began to rest immediately, and they will go out to fight tomorrow morning.

Everyone else rested, but Li Yan and Zhu Cihong began to study the battle plan for the next day.

Zhu Cihong first took out the military map given to him by his father.

This map clearly draws the terrain outside the pass, and even has hints about the deployment of the opponent's military force.

System production, of course, is beyond Li Yan's imagination.

When Li Yan saw this military map, he was overjoyed:
"Your Highness, this... this map is amazing, let me draw some pictures like this..."

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly:
"Master Li is not in a hurry, the emperor gave us a lot, almost every general and scout has a copy."

Li Yan spread out the map:

"Great, this map will save my Ming army a lot of trouble, the Holy One is really a god!"

Seeing Li Yan's shocked expression after seeing the map, Zhu Cihong chuckled:
"General, let's study tomorrow's battle plan! Look at the Seven Guards of Guanxi outside Jiayuguan, which were originally an important pass for our Ming to defend against the enemy, but now they are all controlled by the Yarkand Khanate, and instead they have become their defense against our Ming army. Important pass, our Ming army must take them as quickly as possible."

Li Yan nodded, his eyes scanned the map carefully and said:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, with this map, we can take down the Seven Guards of Kansai within three days. Look here..."

Li Yan admired Zhu Youjian very much, and he didn't have any doubts about the military map he gave the prince, so he directly explained the method of attacking the Seven Guards of Kansai.

Of course, Zhu Cihong would not doubt his father's ability, and nodded frequently to Li Yan's plan.

In the end, they quickly formulated a battle plan for the next day.

Li Yan led the Pingkou army to divide into five groups, detoured and suddenly attacked the last five guards.

Zhu Youjian led the new army, and the troops were divided into two groups to raid the two guards outside Jiayuguan.

They postponed the date of sending troops by one day. On this day, they will send out multiple scouts to try to quietly destroy all the scouts of the Yarkand Khanate.

In this way, they will temporarily lose their source of information, and the time does not need to be too long, just one day later.

Under the command of Hassan, the governor of Kashgar, the army of the Yarkand Khanate had already been deployed outside Jiayuguan.

But the Ming army never moved, because Jiayuguan blocked all their news outside the pass.

Originally, the news that the army attacked the Yarkand Khanate was the fake news he released in order to survive.

They have not heard any information about the Ming army leaving the customs, and they have gradually relaxed their vigilance.

A few days ago, there were Tanma strolling outside the pass, but in recent days they have been too lazy to stroll around.

After the Yarkand Khanate occupied the Seven Guards of Kansai, the Ming Dynasty did not respond at all, and it has been so for so many years.

Although Hassan asked to be more vigilant, the people below him didn't take it seriously at all. He didn't believe that the Ming army would go so far to attack them.

In the early morning of the same day, the city gate of Jiayuguan was quietly opened, and more than 200 Ming army scouts wearing the clothes of the herdsmen of the Yarkand Khanate quietly left the city.

They wore the clothes of the herdsmen of the Yarkand Khanate on the outside, but they also wore bulletproof vests on the inside, and they also had pistols hidden on their bodies, and detachable rifled guns hidden in the saddle. Of course, walkie-talkies were also standard.

These Ming troops are all elite scouts of the Ming Dynasty. Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts, but they have also participated in intelligence work in many wars.

The purpose of their group of five quietly leaving the customs was to inquire about intelligence and kill the spy horses of the Yarkand Khanate.

The firearms they carried were for self-defense, and they could use firearms to kill the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate when they were besieged and unable to escape.

The next day, Zhu Cihong stood around the tower of Jiayuguan and waited and watched. He was greatly amazed by the scene in front of him.

The Hexi Corridor is an important part of the famous Silk Road. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this long and narrow area has been integrated into China with the Longshou Mountain, Heli Mountain, and Mazong Mountain in the north, the Qilian Mountain in the south, and the vast area in the west. The arms of the national family.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Sheng, the general who conquered the captives, made a triumphant return to the west and set up a pass city in Jiayuguan to defend the fruits of victory and better counter the threats from the ethnic minorities in the northwest.

In most people's minds, the Ming Dynasty only knew defense.In fact, the Ming Empire put a lot of effort into strengthening the defense of the border.

As early as the period of Zhu Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Empire set up a series of military defense systems along the Great Wall and military fortresses.

And the Great Wall was rebuilt with great fanfare. This time, the Great Wall was rebuilt with a huge momentum, unprecedented.

The Great Wall built by various countries during the Warring States period, such as the Great Wall of Zhao, the Great Wall of Qi, and the Great Wall of Yan, and then the Great Wall of Qin built by Qin Shihuang, and even the Great Wall of Han later.

In front of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, these Great Walls are just a child’s play. At best, they are just building courtyard walls and setting up fences.

The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty has set many records in the construction of the Great Wall in the past dynasties of China, whether it is length or height; whether it is firm or beautiful, the Great Wall of all dynasties is incomparable to it.

The majestic and beautiful brick-covered city walls we see today are all masterpieces of the Ming Dynasty.

The defense system of the Great Wall is a military fortification built by the Ming Dynasty to defend the nomadic minorities in the north. It starts from the Yalu River in the east and ends at Jiayuguan in the west, with a total length of more than 3000 miles.

You must not explain that the Great Wall is only [-] miles long. In fact, the Ming Great Wall has many inner Great Walls besides the [-] miles. .

Zhu Cihong didn't know before that the Great Wall was repaired from the return of the capital to the distant Western Regions, how could he not be amazed!
After dark, all the scouts sent out returned safely. They only met a dozen or so scouts from the Yarkand Khanate, and they all quietly killed them.

Upon receiving the situation, Zhu Cihong immediately ordered the whole army to start eating and drinking enough to prepare to go out to kill the enemy.
