Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

The emperor made up his mind to fight,
Can the cabinet stop it now?

Can't stop it at all!

Don't look at Liu Hongxun as Minister of the Ministry of War, but it doesn't mean that he can stop the emperor's will.

Especially now, Zhu Youxiao is implementing the new policy and launching the new party, and officials of the Datong Party occupy important positions. If Zhu Youxiao wants to do something, the cabinet can't stop him at all.

Right now, the imperial court has six ministries and five ministries are under the control of the Datong Party. Is the Ministry of War able to speak well?

So Liu Hongxun, Huang Liji, and Wei Guangwei looked at each other and could only sigh.

The matter of sending troops to the grassland has been settled, and there are also candidates for the main general.

Uncle Dingyuan Cao Wenzhao led one of the Three Thousand Battalions, one of the Five Army Battalions, and one of the Firearms Battalion, a total of [-] people went out for the expedition. The army carried carriages, grain, gunpowder, and guns out of the Great Wall and into the grasslands.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses carried the flag of the Ming Dynasty, under the flag of the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, the flags of each battalion and department lined up row by row, and the brightly dressed Ming soldiers stepped into the grassland with their heads held high and their chests held high.

The grassland herdsmen I met along the way stared blankly at the bright red flag of the Ming army, and after a moment of loss of consciousness, they began to flee in panic!

Ming army, out of the fortress!

how many years?

How many years has it been since Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang made the Northern Expedition in the early Ming Dynasty and Chengzu made five expeditions to Mobei?

The Ming army once again went out on a large scale!

Tens of thousands of Ming troops stepped into the grassland with a clear banner, and Nayan of the Balian Department naturally got the news. When he learned that the Ming army had really come out to help him, Balian Nayan was also very excited, and he immediately took people to meet the Ming army. , led the Ming army to his pasture.

Looking at the tens of thousands of Ming troops wearing iron helmets and armor, carrying muskets, or riding war horses, the banners fluttering in the wind, the tens of thousands of troops are in a strict and orderly formation, Balian Na Yan endured I couldn't help feeling: "This is the elite of the Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty, it is really extraordinary."

"This vanguard army alone has such power, it's amazing."

"Hurry up and tell the sons and daughters to kill the sheep and cattle, and entertain the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty!"

The nobleman of the Balian tribe asked, "Nayan, how many livestock do we need to prepare?"

Baliannayan was thinking: "There are 1 people in the vanguard army, so the main force of Ming Dynasty is at least 5 people?"

The nobles of the Balian Department nodded repeatedly: "There must be at least 6 or [-] people."

Yes, the nobles of Baliannayan and Balianbu regarded the Ming army led by Cao Wenzhao as the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty.

Actually, it's not their fault.

Think about Ming Chengzu's time, which time Chengzu's old man went north with an army of tens of thousands, 10,000+, or hundreds of thousands?
The Ming army at that time was really mighty, with tens of thousands of infantry and tens of thousands of iron cavalry at every turn. Under the salvo of cannons, the iron cavalry went on a rampage, beating the Tatars into embarrassment and being beaten all the way to Beihai.

Although the Ming Dynasty is not as good as it was when Chengzu was, it should be no problem to dispatch an army of [-] to [-].

After all, although there is no war between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia at the moment, there are still small frictions, and both sides are considered old rivals, and there are expectations for how many people will fight.

Tribes like the Balian tribe and the Nadu tribe can mobilize three or four thousand cavalry, tens of thousands of cavalry, and the Ming army must dispatch at least [-] to [-] infantry, supplemented by [-] cavalry to fight.

This is also the regular field routine of the Ming army.

That's why Baliannayan thought that Cao Wenzhao was only leading the vanguard.

Considering that the Ming army was behind, in order to prepare supplies for the Ming army, Baliannayan asked Cao Wenzhao: "Dare to ask the general, when will the main force of the imperial army arrive? Our department can also kill cattle and sheep to do a good job." get ready."

The main force of the army?

Am I not the main force of the army?
So Cao Wenzhao said: "That Yan, what I lead is the main force of the imperial court."

Balian Nayan was stunned: "Ah?!"

"Only ten thousand people?!"

Not to mention Balian's face, the nobles of the Balian tribe are all dumbfounded!
Is Ming Dynasty really going to help them?
Why did you send thousands of people here?

"Oh, why are there only ten thousand people!" Balian Nayan's old face suddenly wrinkled into a ball.

He originally thought that the Ming Dynasty would at least give him tens of thousands of reinforcements, so that he would have the confidence to defeat the Nadu tribe and annex the grassland of the Nadu tribe.

But the Ming Dynasty only sent [-] Ming troops, and most of them were infantry. What's the use of this? !
But now that he has let out all his words, it is impossible to swallow them back.

Men on the prairie are the most trustworthy, one spit and one nail, at this moment, he can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, but he really can't raise any confidence in the [-] Ming army led by Cao Wenzhao .

1 people are too few, too few.

Not to mention Balian Nayan, Nadu Nayan was stunned when he heard that only [-] Ming troops had come.

Originally, there was a dispute between his Nadu department and the Balian department. When the Balian department claimed to join Daming and let the Ming army come to make decisions for the Balian department, Nadu Nayan was still very scared.

After all, the Ming army had just defeated Huang Taiji in Liaodong, and Lin Danhan's army was defeated by Huang Taiji. No matter how you look at it, the Ming army is stronger than Mongolia.

If the Ming army really went out of the fortress, his Nadu department could only consider whether to kneel down and surrender or run away.

Even for several nights, Nadu Nayan dreamed that the Ming army had killed him and chased him around, which made him sleepless for several nights.

And after the Ming army really went out of the fortress, Nadu Nayan was even more frightened, and was ready to let the tribe prepare to pack up the yurts and run away with cattle and sheep.

But who knows, only 1 people came from the Ming army!

1 million people!

Enough for what? !

Although 1 people are a lot, on the vast prairie, 1 people will not be able to set off any spray.

The Nadu Department has a full [-] domes, and can mobilize four to five thousand horses. The Balian Department is not an opponent at all.

Now even with the addition of [-] Ming troops, all his monks are not afraid!
If it was tens of thousands of Ming troops, Nadu Nayan would definitely not have such confidence, but with only [-] Ming troops, he is still very confident.

Therefore, after receiving only [-] Ming troops to support Baliannayan, Nadu Nayan slaughtered sheep and cattle, and held a grand dinner in the tribe.

At the dinner, Nadu Nayan was biting the roasted lamb leg, and said to the surrounding nobles who were tearing up the lamb: "Everyone, the Ming army only sent 1 people out!"

"Hahahahaha! The Ming army only sent 1 people out!"

"Does the emperor of the Ming Dynasty think that 1 people plus the old dog Balian can defeat the Nadu tribe?!"

"Tonight, let's eat and drink a lot. Tomorrow, let the boys ride horses, take bows and arrows and scimitars, and we will go to Balian to fight to the death!"

"We have to catch the old dog Balian and send him to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can know how powerful Nadu is! At that time, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty may open up more passes for us, so that we can Buy more stuff!"

The nobles of the Nadu tribe also laughed when they heard it. A group of people were tearing and biting mutton and drinking kumiss. It was a singing and dancing scene.

Ten thousand Ming troops dare to go out?
joke!

You think you are Huo Qubing!
