Chapter 125 Miracles!This ride is an absolute miracle!
"Little general, pay homage to the emperor!"
Inside the Ming army camp.
Everyone who hadn't seen him for more than half a month came to the old man Zhu Di one after another, bowed down and saluted him.
Looking at the surprise on their faces, Zhu Di couldn't help but smiled and said, "Why, didn't you expect to see me here?"
Everyone who was told by the emperor Zhu Di couldn't help being a little embarrassed.
It was Zhu Gaoxu, the second child, who was the first to ask Zhu Di: "Father, didn't you lead the soldiers back to the Onan River? Why are you here?"
Listening to his son's words, Zhu Di smiled and said, "If we push all the way from the grassland to here, we don't know how many soldiers' lives we will have to pay. If that's the case, it will be smoother to bypass Nuer Gandusi."
Hearing this, the second child Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly flattered and said, "The emperor is wise!"
However, after flattering, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu still asked a question that everyone present was curious about.
"Father, what my son has always wondered about is why did father insist on leading an army here?"
Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di just smiled, then looked at Zhu Zhanji who was behind Zhu Gaoxu, and said, "You have to ask your eldest nephew this question."
As soon as these words came out, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Zhanji behind him together with the people around him.
Especially the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, while looking at Zhu Zhanji, he also complained: "Nephew, you are a bit unreasonable this time, since you know everything, why didn't you tell us that the emperor is here, this time On the way, let us worry for a while."
Zhu Zhanji, who heard this, smiled and said: "Second Uncle, I don't know how many times I have told my nephew this way, as long as we get here, we can feel at ease, but you don't believe it. You don't believe it , then I say it [-] times, and you still don’t believe it.”
Regarding Zhu Zhanji's words, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu also understood that they were indeed too worried, but he still asked: "I won't mention this matter for the time being, but tell me first, why did you bring us here? "
Feeling everyone's attention, Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, and said: "Since my army has already arrived here, it doesn't hurt to tell you about it."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the old man Zhu Di who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said, "Grandpa, why don't we go for a walk?"
For this, the old man Zhu Di naturally would not refuse, in fact, it was not only these people present, but his old man Zhu Di himself was also looking forward to the city that his grandson talked about at this time.
"go!"
The old man didn't talk nonsense.
Under the leadership of Zhu Zhanji, the old man, King Han, King Zhao, British Duke Zhang Fu, general Zhang Mao, and several senior generals in the army all headed out of the camp together.
Of course, this is on the grassland, not in the capital city, even if it is in the capital city, it is necessary to bring some guards to dare to go out.
So before their group set off, they also brought [-] cavalry along with them.
With their guards, it can be said that they walked around the Ming army camp casually.
Accompanied by the crowd all the way gallop.
After running for about a quarter of an hour, the group of them finally arrived at the place where Zhu Zhanji secretly built the city.
Because when I chose that location, I deliberately chose a place blocked by hills on both sides, so I couldn't see anything from a distance.
However, when they approached that place, they were immediately discovered by the five thousand frontier troops that Zhu Zhanji had arranged there.
Fortunately, they were wearing battle armor, and the cavalry behind them were also dressed in the Ming army.
So he didn't launch an attack immediately, but went behind him to find the Fifth Highness Zhu Zhanqian.
Accompanying Zhu Zhanqian to the hill, he looked from a distance.
Looking at the team of cavalry, Zhu Zhanqian did not react yet, but when he saw Zhu Zhanji, second uncle Zhu Gaoxu, third uncle Zhu Gaosui, and the old man Zhu Di before the cavalry, his eyes immediately widened. When he said something to the people around him, he immediately waved and shouted on the hill: "Big Brother!!! Second Uncle and Third Uncle! Grandpa!!"
Accompanied by the shout of the old fifth Zhu Zhanqin.
Zhu Zhanji immediately turned his head and looked over.
When he saw the kid, Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he is clear about the general location of this place, many places on the grassland are very similar.
He got a little lost.
Although it is near here, because there are not many landmarks on the grassland, and the distance at a glance is also very far, even at this place, he can't find the location.
Fortunately, this kid is smart and has good eyesight.
Immediately, Zhu Zhanji rode his horse and rushed towards the fifth child.
Afterwards, the second child Zhu Gaoxu and the third child Zhu Gaosui looked at each other and followed.
And so is the old man.
Just when everyone came to the hill where the fifth Zhu Zhanqian was, and they didn't care about what to say to the fifth Zhu Zhanqian, everyone, including the cavalry behind them, were immediately overwhelmed by the scene in front of them. stunned on the spot
"This"
The British Duke Zhang Fu stared blankly at the scene behind the hill.
He really didn't expect that, just separated by a hill, he saw a completely different scene from this endless prairie.
On the plain behind the hill, there are countless soldiers who are building the city.
All the people are working, some are transporting wood, some are transporting stones, some are smelting iron, some are transporting steel, and some are stirring something.
If it's just these, it's nothing.
After all, they had seen such a scene in the outskirts of the capital before.
All that came from the hand of His Highness the Grandson.
Therefore, people who are more familiar with this grandson will naturally not be too surprised.
And what really shocked them so much that they couldn't speak for a long time was that a city appeared out of thin air before their eyes!
A city 15 feet high and about two thousand feet long!
If they were not standing on this hill, they would not be able to see the whole picture and size of this city at all.
Even standing on this hill, you can only see it vaguely.
All the people present were veterans who had followed the emperor to this northern region many times. When they saw the scene in front of them, the shock in their hearts was almost uncontrollable.
This... When was this city built?
And it's such a large city!
Judging by the appearance and scale of this city, it is almost half the size of Yingtianfu's capital, not much more!
The manpower and material resources needed to build such a large city are simply unimaginable.
But now?
It just appeared out of nowhere in a wild place like Saibei!
miracle!
Absolutely a miracle! ! !
This is far more shocking than when I saw the reservoir canal!
Although many parts of the city in front of them have not been completely completed, they also understand that the entire main body is almost complete.
The rest is to build some towers on the city wall to defend against the enemy.
If we say that the reservoirs and canals that exist in the suburbs of Yingtianfu may have taken a long time to complete.
How to explain all this in front of me?
It's only been two months since they came to Saibei!
And according to what they knew, it was definitely the first time for their grandson, His Royal Highness, to go out with the army.
This is the first time I came to Saibei.
Can.
The more this happened, the more shocked they were.
Could it be that His Highness Taisun spent two months building a city of this size? ? ? ?
All the people present, including the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, the Zhao King Zhu Gaosui, and even the old man Zhu Di who had known for a long time that there would be a city here, were all shocked and speechless at the moment.
Even if the old man Zhu Di knew that there would be a city here, he never thought that the scale of this city would be so big! ! !
Every city in the Ming Dynasty spent countless manpower, material resources, and countless hours to complete the construction.
Even for the imperial palace in Shuntian Prefecture, it took 11 years to prepare the materials alone!
And it took a full three years from the official construction, and it took countless manpower to complete the construction in the near future.
This is still in the Shuntian Mansion where there is no war at all!
The more he knew about this city, the more shocked the old man Zhu Di was!
This kid really spent two months building such a magnificent city!
Although in the process of construction, many detailed problems are definitely not as complicated as those of the imperial palace, but you must know that this is Saibei!Saibei!Saibei! ! ! !
"His Royal Highness Madam Sun"
"Is this city built when you left?"
The British public Zhang Fu's voice was incomplete because of the shock in his heart.
Listening to Zhang Fu's words, everyone who was still in shock turned their heads at this moment.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhu Zhanji smiled, but nodded.
The moment they saw Zhu Zhanji nodding, many people swallowed by the way.
two months.
Such a magnificent city was built in two months.
Although compared with the Shuntian Imperial Palace, which is similar in size, it is rough, but this is Saibei, what else can they ask for? ?
No one knows better than the generals in their army what it means if the Ming army can have a city of this size in Saibei!
It means that in Saibei, a place where the Ming Dynasty has no influence, their army in the city can arrive within a radius of [-] miles, day and night!
It's still walking!
If it is a cavalry, within a hundred miles, it will come in the morning and evening!
The key is in such an environment, the soldiers living in this city can still keep warm in winter, and have the city wall as a defense when the enemy attacks.
If they were able to have a city when they encountered the attack of the prairie coalition forces, let alone the evil wind, let alone the casualties of 8000 people.
With 100,000 soldiers guarding the city, facing the siege of [-] people from various tribes in the grassland, and the opponent has no firearms and cannons, if the casualties exceed [-], the general defending the city can directly commit suicide.
The battle of Hongdu at the end of Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Wenzheng's 600,000 troops faced the deadly attack of Chen Youliang's 89 troops, and they stood firm for [-] days!
This is still the Han army!
If you are facing this group of soldiers on the prairie who don't understand siege warfare at all, you can imagine the result!
Other than starving everyone in the city to death, if you want to destroy the city, don't even think about it!
But now it is Yongle Dynasty!
Only the Ming army besieged the grassland tribes. Facing the Ming army, if they didn't run away, it would be considered a high incense.
Still under siege.
In addition to these direct effects reflected in the military.
With this city, they can station troops here all the year round from the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
The entire route will become the actual control area of the Ming Dynasty!
The completion of this city basically means that the land with a radius of hundreds of miles will become the land of his Ming Dynasty!
Just imagine, do these grassland tribes dare to live within a range of one or two hundred miles around this city?
Scared and scared them to death!
When an army goes out to fight, it doesn't even need to bring luggage.
With seven or eight days' worth of food, ten or twenty thousand cavalry go out, and some small tribes can be wiped out on the spot.
It is the most powerful Tatar tribe on the grassland, and its interior is also composed of many small tribes.
Like these tribes, 20,000 people, one back and forth every five days, can be served directly!
But if it is on weekdays, without this city, if you want to send troops from within the Ming Dynasty to attack, even if the opponent does not resist, it will never be possible within a few months.
What's more, when you run all the way here, people don't know where you are running.
Either that, or there is already a large army waiting for you around.
The so-called blitzkrieg, surprise attack, is almost impossible.
But now.
All this will become a reality.
This is the impact of this city!
Even, they can build another city a hundred miles away.
Just like that, bit by bit, the entire grassland was eaten away.
And they don't need to send much troops.
In the face of the attacks of those grassland small tribes, a city guards 3000 people and resists [-] to [-], easily.
When everyone was looking at the city in front of them in shock, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, was shocked and said to the old man Zhu Di: "Father, you can go back. This battle was fought for you. I promise not to fight!" Something went wrong!"
As soon as Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu's words came out of his mouth, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Immediately afterwards, everyone present praised and admired Zhu Zhanji.
All kinds of nonsense were said.
Why lay a century-old foundation for the Ming Dynasty to recover the northern part of the Great Wall?
Miracle.
Appalling.
What a feat to overwhelm the champion.
Why is this city better than Emperor Wudi I's attack?
However, in the face of these people's words and the old man's admiration, Zhu Zhanji was still calm. He smiled and said to everyone present: "Everyone, you all praised the wrong person."
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he pushed out Zhu Zhanqian, the fifth brother beside him, and said, "This city was not built by me, but by my fifth brother. If you want to boast, he is the one who built it this time." The greatest hero."
Compared with the people present, Zhu Zhanji knew more about the significance of this city in the hinterland of Saibei.
The existence of this city is more than just reflected in the military.
It is not that the past dynasties have not conquered this grassland, but what is the use of conquering this grassland?
As long as the enemy wipes out your vital force on this grassland, the land will change hands instantly.
Even if you send a large army to guard here, it's not like those people from various tribes in the grassland can flee and hide everywhere.
What is needed is to guard the frontier here for the imperial court behind.
If this is the case, there are countless ways to eliminate you.
And in this case, there is no way for this grassland to completely become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
But if you build cities on this grassland, these cities are like needles that fix the sea, firmly nailing this piece of land to your territory.
Then came the people who lived here.
Lay down this territory militarily, and then completely brand this land with your mark through cultural, economic, and population integration.
In this way, this land truly becomes your land.
A land that cannot be changed from generation to generation.
Of course, there are many far-reaching implications.
But obviously these deep-seated things are not something these generals who are used to fighting can think of.
Otherwise, there would be no distinction between civil servants and generals.
And as Zhu Zhanji pushed out the old fifth, Zhu Zhanqian, everyone also expressed their admiration towards the fifth.
The old man is also rare to praise: "Good job!"
When he heard the old man's praise for him, the fifth brother Zhu Zhanqian was so excited.
He likes military affairs, but he regarded his grandfather as an idol since he was a child.
It is a great recognition for him to hear his grandfather's praise now.
The point is, this is the first time his grandfather praised him so much.
However, after the flattering of the crowd was finished, a general who had never seen the reservoir and canal couldn't help but said, "This city is certainly good, but the construction time is so short, is it strong?"
Of course, he was not questioning Zhu Zhanji and others, but from a military point of view, thinking about whether the city could resist the enemy's attack.
Faced with the question raised by this person, Zhu Zhanji said to Zhu Zhanji, the fifth brother beside him, without hesitation: "Old fifth, go, get some gunpowder."
After hearing this, Lao Wu immediately turned around and started to prepare.
But the people present immediately widened their eyes.
It's not too big to play, is it? ?
Come up with gunpowder?
But when the second and third uncles on the side persuaded that there is no need to do this, as long as they can guard against the enemy's cavalry attack, it would be good, but Zhu Zhanji said confidently: "Second and third uncles, don't worry."
soon.
The fifth child came with gunpowder.
Judging from the volume, it is obvious that the portion is still small.
After a soldier ignited the gunpowder and ran away, a huge explosion sounded.
When everyone looked at the city wall that was close to the explosion again, they found that the main body of the city wall was not affected at all except for some cement that fell off the city wall.
After all, this is a city wall several meters wide.
After seeing this scene, everyone also had a general understanding of the strength of the city wall.
After everyone had seen the city, the old man Zhu Di still couldn't help but said: "Stinky boy, I saw this city, but grandpa is a little curious, how did you build this city, and how can you build it in two months?" Can it be built to this extent in such a short period of time?"
Faced with the old man's doubts, Zhu Zhanji glanced at the fifth brother Zhu Zhanji beside him, and then replied to the old man with a smile: "Grandpa, I am actually a little surprised by my grandson. According to my grandson's previous prediction, This city should take at least three months, or even four months to build."
“This time is too long”
When Zhu Zhanji said this, everyone present couldn't help but pouted.
Three or four months, to build such a city, you still say it takes too long?
Want a face?
However, even after seeing everyone's thoughts, Zhu Zhanji continued: "Of course, it's not because it can't be built, but because we still need to prepare a lot of raw materials. We used to rely on the transportation of those Jurchen tribes to build It was built in a short amount of time.”
"The most important thing is the iron ore."
"Where did you get the iron ore in the middle, you have to ask this kid."
With that said, Zhu Zhanji pushed the fifth brother Zhu Zhanqian out again.
Following his elder brother's words, the fifth brother, Zhu Zhanqian, no longer had the excitement and nervousness when he spoke in front of the old man before, and explained calmly: "The elder brother always said that there must be iron mines in this piece of land, but I have been looking for it. No. After my eldest brother left, I have been sending people to look for it everywhere, but luckily, I found it."
"With these iron ores, the construction of this city will be faster."
After hearing Lao Wu's explanation, Zhu Zhanji said again: "Old Wu, since grandpa wants to see it, you can take him there to see how it was built."
"it is good!"
Afterwards, the old fifth Zhu Zhanxi took the old man, second uncle, third uncle and the generals to walk towards the place under construction together, wanting to see what kind of craftsmanship allowed them to build in such a short period of time. Inside, such a magnificent city was built.
As for Zhu Zhanji, he didn't follow.
After I went there, maybe the old man would have to ask questions again, and there were some things that he really couldn't answer.
For example, why does cement solidify so quickly and so on.
Can he explain it clearly?
Since the explanation is not clear, then simply leave it alone.
Let the fifth child talk nonsense with them.
Zhu Zhanji himself stood on the hill and looked around the surrounding environment.
Because the city hadn't been built before, I didn't think much about other things.
But now that the city is nearing completion, he also has leisure time to observe the surrounding terrain.
After just a few cursory glances, Zhu Zhanji discovered that these two hills were originally used to block the city from being discovered by others.
When I look at it now, I find that Gong Wei is on both sides of the city like two soldiers.
In the middle of the two hills, there is a road leading to the west of the outside world.
And further east is a whole piece of the Great Plains.
If a watchtower can be built on top of these two hills, by virtue of the height of the hill itself, it can provide an excellent view for the city and improve the early warning capabilities of many cities.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the terrain here to build some forts on it.
But after thinking about it, I felt wrong.
If many forts are built on these two hills, the combination of these two hills and city defense can certainly be improved.
But the point is that once the enemy knocks down these two hills, don't these forts become the siege keys they prepared for the enemy.
After thinking about it, with today's ancient combat methods, building a fort still does more harm than good.
But if it is placed in later generations, the advantages will naturally outweigh the disadvantages.
While considering the issue of city defense, Zhu Zhanji looked at a large plain to the east of the city, and also found a way out for the future development of the city.
While Zhu Zhanji was standing alone on the hill, looking around, thinking about messy things, on the other side, the old man Zhu Di and his party went to watch the construction process of the city with the old fifth Zhu Zhanqian.
At this moment, he returned to the hill again.
While walking, I also lamented the power of the concrete technology.
After watching all this, the old man Zhu Di also proposed to return to the camp.
"Since the construction of the city here has come to an end, our camp should no longer be stationed in place, it is better to move to the city as soon as possible."
"Firstly, the army can help the people here to complete the final construction as soon as possible, and secondly, it can also ensure the safety of this place. If scouts from the grassland ministries find out, then they can make wedding dresses for others."
Naturally, no one present would object to these words of the old man, especially those generals, who lived in a city, so how could they like to live in that big camp.
Although there are no buildings in the city at this time, even an empty shell is much stronger than the outside.
Only those who have been here and stayed for one night can understand how strong the wind is on the grassland at night.
Only those who have lived here can appreciate the temperature difference between night and day.
And it would be different if they lived in this city, at least they could block a lot of wind for them.
The temperature inside the city is naturally very different from the temperature in the wilderness outside the city.
The most important thing is safety, even if the enemy army has already hit the city, he is not in a hurry to get up slowly.
But living in the wilderness, even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed around, there is no guarantee that they will not be attacked by the enemy at night.
It would be fine to die in battle. If someone hacked to death on the bed, it would be aggrieved. Therefore, when these generals went out with the army, they were very cautious even at night, and they couldn't sleep peacefully.
Seeing that everyone at the scene unanimously agreed with this idea, the old man Zhu Di immediately rode on the horse with everyone and returned to the Ming army camp.
However, the Ming army camp was after all a large army of 500,000 people, and the relocation was not a trivial matter.
Just in case, an army of 10 was first dispatched to station around the city, and then the army slowly moved in batches.
But because when going to the city this time, in addition to the old man Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji and others, there were 2000 cavalry accompanying him.The news about the city naturally spread throughout the entire camp of the Ming army in a short period of time.
And the news spread more and more outrageous.
It even evolved to the end, and some said that his highness, the grandson, conjured a Beijing city out of thin air.
In addition to the rumors that have been circulated before, such as the fact that he fell from the sky when he was married.
For a while, as His Highness the Grandson, he really brought some mythological color in the mouths of these people.
Said he was some kind of Yinglong from the sky who came to the world.
Naturally, Zhu Zhanji would not pay attention to these rumors.
Although he himself would definitely not take it seriously, these rumors and rumors that are beneficial to him may help him in some ways.
After all, this was in ancient times.
As the grandson of the emperor, adding some mythological elements will only benefit him and not harm him as an emperor in the future.
Otherwise, the so-called mythical origins fabricated by the emperors since ancient times would be unreasonable.
So while ignoring it, I didn't clarify or obstruct anything.
But these rumors and rumors that he didn't take seriously, some people believed them to be true.
Even the spies planted by Mahamu in the Ming army spread the matter as a secret report.
At this time, Mahamu, who had just led an army here from afar, rushed to this place.
In the first time, they received a secret report from within the Ming army.
When he saw the rumors of the so-called Yinglong descending into the world, Mahamu naturally didn't believe it.
As for the so-called appearance of a city out of thin air, it was just a joke.
This is the hinterland of their prairie people.
Don't they know if there is a city here?
Even if Mahamu was killed, he would not believe that a city was built in such a short period of time.
He even ordered the person who sent the secret report to go back and reprimand the spy who was inside the Ming army.
Ask him to pass some useful information back.
Mahamu only regarded all this as a means often used by the Han emperor, in order to improve the morale of the army.
And with the army of various tribes in the grassland rushing here, after sending countless scout teams to scout around.
After the news of many scouts and spies came back, they all attributed the reason why the Ming army planned to go here this time to that so-called city that appeared out of thin air.
Many soldiers even said that they saw the city with their own eyes.
For this reason, Mahamu even beheaded several members of the scout team on the spot.
Think they are deliberately spreading rumors.
Did not perform the task of investigation well.
That's why several members of the scouting team were beheaded on the spot to warn others.
How could a city appear out of thin air overnight?
Could it be that the great-grandson of the Ming Dynasty was really a dragon from the sky who descended into the world and used the supernatural powers of calling wind and rain to transform a city out of thin air?
However, what surprised him Mahamu was that the matter about the city did not end after he beheaded several members of the scouting team.
Instead, the rumors intensified.
Even, the members of the scouting team who were sent out to carry out reconnaissance missions later reported that the Ming army owned a city at the risk of being beheaded after checking the information.
For several days in a row, even Mahamu, who hadn't figured out why the Ming army assembled here, was very anxious.
Coupled with the rumors about the city, it also gave him a very headache.
You must know that the ability to summon wind and rain and conjure a city out of thin air is something in mythology.
How could it be true.
But when more and more soldiers from various tribes in the grassland believed the rumors and rumors, they thought that they were going to fight against the mythical figure, and their morale was really shaken for a while.
Many soldiers even began to kneel on the ground, praying for their immortality to come to the world to help them deal with the mythical figures in the Ming army.
For such a thing, Na Mahamu naturally found it very ridiculous.
But the key point is that his subordinates believe it very much.
After all, the chiefs of various tribes on their grassland also use this method of fictional myths to achieve the purpose of ruling.
Now that your ruling class has acknowledged the existence of such myths and legends, don’t the myths spoken by other people and other races really exist?
When this matter intensified in the army, Mahamu never thought that one day he would have a headache because of this kind of thing.
Although he really wanted to send someone to kill a few people who spread rumors in the army again, he also understood that such rumors and rumors cannot be stopped by killing alone. The more you kill, the more such cases will happen. .
What made him feel even more speechless was that a leader of a small tribe among the various tribes in the grassland actually believed such rumors, and even came to him in person to ask if it was true.
This made Mahamu very confused, how did the leader of this small tribe come to power.
For four or five days in a row, Mahamu did not hear any important information about the Ming army from the spies he sent out.
On the contrary, he was devastated by the rumor that the city had been conjured out of thin air.
It even became the most troublesome thing for Mahamu since the Ming army's northern expedition.
Even Zhu Zhanji, who came from his previous life and is well versed in ancient and modern times, would never have imagined that what defeated these grassland tribes was not because of artillery, firecrackers and explosives, or even those methods that surpassed the times, but rumors spread casually among the army.
If he knew about this, he would probably laugh his ass off.
As for the temporary co-owner of the grassland coalition, Mahamu, since he couldn't think of any good way to curb the rumors, he could only go again with the scout team who had seen the city with his own eyes.
He just wanted to expose these people's lies in this naked way.
After hearing Mahamu's request, those members of the scout team who said they saw the city, instead of feeling the slightest bit of fear and fear, seemed very excited.
As if to say, finally someone believes in us.
Mahamu, who is good at knowing people, was really surprised after seeing the expressions on their faces.
But thinking that the Ming army really built a city as big as a palace in a short period of time, he would never believe it.
How long has it been since the Ming army entered Saibei?
That city appeared in the hinterland of his prairie tribe, and it took only a few days for the Ming army to arrive here.
In such a short period of time, unless a city really fell from the sky, he really couldn't think of any means to achieve such a goal.
The trace of hesitation and confusion in my heart disappeared in an instant.
But as they got closer and closer to the place where the Ming army was stationed.
The scout squad spies around him became more and more excited.
After telling him in advance that he would arrive at the location of the city soon, Mahamu also raised his spirits.
At the same time, he used his eyes to signal the grandson beside him to pay attention at all times.
Because this is where the Ming army was stationed.
Once discovered, none of them can escape.
However, when they carefully turned over a hill.
On the endless plain in front of him, a majestic city suddenly appeared!
The size of this city is even comparable to the Shuntian Palace that he saw when he entered the Ming Dynasty and explored the interior of the Ming Dynasty!
"how is this possible!!!"
Mahamu, who was usually very calm and calm no matter what happened, when he saw such a city really appeared on the prairie, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
How could such a large city appear on this prairie out of thin air!
This is like a miracle, how can Mahamu believe it.
But now that the facts were in front of him, there was no room for him not to believe it.
For a moment, then Hamu stood on the spot, staring blankly into the distance, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that Changshengtian really wants to punish your people?!"
Seeing the stunned and shocked face on Mahamu's face, the scouts on the side felt a little complacent in their hearts.
But today's Mahamu can't care about the expressions on the faces of these spies.
Let's not talk about how this city appeared, and whether it is a miracle.
Now that this city is truly in front of him, after the Ming army occupied this city, it can be said that they are sure to win this war.
How should he proceed in the next battle?
When he was facing the Ming army with an army of 50, he already knew that this battle was impossible to win. At most, it was a question of how many people could drag the Ming army down.
Now facing the Ming army with 50 soldiers and horses, it is still the Ming army with a city.
Even the purpose of consuming the Ming army has become extremely difficult.
He is very clear that with the city in his possession, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army will increase by more than ten times!
No one is more familiar with the battles in the city than the Ming army composed of Han Chinese.
They have been fighting this kind of war for thousands of years!
If they had a slight chance of winning in the previous war between the two sides, it was because the place where the battle was fought was in the grassland, in their hometown.
No one knows better than them how to fight in such an environment.
But now, with the appearance of this city, everything has changed!
For a moment, Mahamu felt that his whole body had no strength, and he was limp on the spot.
If it wasn't for the grandson next to him to support him first, the whole person would collapse to the ground.
Thinking about what might happen next, and the result that the entire grassland would fall into the hands of the Ming army, Mahamu really couldn't accept that his hometown was annexed.
"grandfather!"
Following that Mahamu's side also yelled first.
Mahamu, who was in a state of shock and despair, was awakened by his cry.
(End of this chapter)
"Little general, pay homage to the emperor!"
Inside the Ming army camp.
Everyone who hadn't seen him for more than half a month came to the old man Zhu Di one after another, bowed down and saluted him.
Looking at the surprise on their faces, Zhu Di couldn't help but smiled and said, "Why, didn't you expect to see me here?"
Everyone who was told by the emperor Zhu Di couldn't help being a little embarrassed.
It was Zhu Gaoxu, the second child, who was the first to ask Zhu Di: "Father, didn't you lead the soldiers back to the Onan River? Why are you here?"
Listening to his son's words, Zhu Di smiled and said, "If we push all the way from the grassland to here, we don't know how many soldiers' lives we will have to pay. If that's the case, it will be smoother to bypass Nuer Gandusi."
Hearing this, the second child Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly flattered and said, "The emperor is wise!"
However, after flattering, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu still asked a question that everyone present was curious about.
"Father, what my son has always wondered about is why did father insist on leading an army here?"
Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di just smiled, then looked at Zhu Zhanji who was behind Zhu Gaoxu, and said, "You have to ask your eldest nephew this question."
As soon as these words came out, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Zhanji behind him together with the people around him.
Especially the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, while looking at Zhu Zhanji, he also complained: "Nephew, you are a bit unreasonable this time, since you know everything, why didn't you tell us that the emperor is here, this time On the way, let us worry for a while."
Zhu Zhanji, who heard this, smiled and said: "Second Uncle, I don't know how many times I have told my nephew this way, as long as we get here, we can feel at ease, but you don't believe it. You don't believe it , then I say it [-] times, and you still don’t believe it.”
Regarding Zhu Zhanji's words, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu also understood that they were indeed too worried, but he still asked: "I won't mention this matter for the time being, but tell me first, why did you bring us here? "
Feeling everyone's attention, Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, and said: "Since my army has already arrived here, it doesn't hurt to tell you about it."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the old man Zhu Di who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said, "Grandpa, why don't we go for a walk?"
For this, the old man Zhu Di naturally would not refuse, in fact, it was not only these people present, but his old man Zhu Di himself was also looking forward to the city that his grandson talked about at this time.
"go!"
The old man didn't talk nonsense.
Under the leadership of Zhu Zhanji, the old man, King Han, King Zhao, British Duke Zhang Fu, general Zhang Mao, and several senior generals in the army all headed out of the camp together.
Of course, this is on the grassland, not in the capital city, even if it is in the capital city, it is necessary to bring some guards to dare to go out.
So before their group set off, they also brought [-] cavalry along with them.
With their guards, it can be said that they walked around the Ming army camp casually.
Accompanied by the crowd all the way gallop.
After running for about a quarter of an hour, the group of them finally arrived at the place where Zhu Zhanji secretly built the city.
Because when I chose that location, I deliberately chose a place blocked by hills on both sides, so I couldn't see anything from a distance.
However, when they approached that place, they were immediately discovered by the five thousand frontier troops that Zhu Zhanji had arranged there.
Fortunately, they were wearing battle armor, and the cavalry behind them were also dressed in the Ming army.
So he didn't launch an attack immediately, but went behind him to find the Fifth Highness Zhu Zhanqian.
Accompanying Zhu Zhanqian to the hill, he looked from a distance.
Looking at the team of cavalry, Zhu Zhanqian did not react yet, but when he saw Zhu Zhanji, second uncle Zhu Gaoxu, third uncle Zhu Gaosui, and the old man Zhu Di before the cavalry, his eyes immediately widened. When he said something to the people around him, he immediately waved and shouted on the hill: "Big Brother!!! Second Uncle and Third Uncle! Grandpa!!"
Accompanied by the shout of the old fifth Zhu Zhanqin.
Zhu Zhanji immediately turned his head and looked over.
When he saw the kid, Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he is clear about the general location of this place, many places on the grassland are very similar.
He got a little lost.
Although it is near here, because there are not many landmarks on the grassland, and the distance at a glance is also very far, even at this place, he can't find the location.
Fortunately, this kid is smart and has good eyesight.
Immediately, Zhu Zhanji rode his horse and rushed towards the fifth child.
Afterwards, the second child Zhu Gaoxu and the third child Zhu Gaosui looked at each other and followed.
And so is the old man.
Just when everyone came to the hill where the fifth Zhu Zhanqian was, and they didn't care about what to say to the fifth Zhu Zhanqian, everyone, including the cavalry behind them, were immediately overwhelmed by the scene in front of them. stunned on the spot
"This"
The British Duke Zhang Fu stared blankly at the scene behind the hill.
He really didn't expect that, just separated by a hill, he saw a completely different scene from this endless prairie.
On the plain behind the hill, there are countless soldiers who are building the city.
All the people are working, some are transporting wood, some are transporting stones, some are smelting iron, some are transporting steel, and some are stirring something.
If it's just these, it's nothing.
After all, they had seen such a scene in the outskirts of the capital before.
All that came from the hand of His Highness the Grandson.
Therefore, people who are more familiar with this grandson will naturally not be too surprised.
And what really shocked them so much that they couldn't speak for a long time was that a city appeared out of thin air before their eyes!
A city 15 feet high and about two thousand feet long!
If they were not standing on this hill, they would not be able to see the whole picture and size of this city at all.
Even standing on this hill, you can only see it vaguely.
All the people present were veterans who had followed the emperor to this northern region many times. When they saw the scene in front of them, the shock in their hearts was almost uncontrollable.
This... When was this city built?
And it's such a large city!
Judging by the appearance and scale of this city, it is almost half the size of Yingtianfu's capital, not much more!
The manpower and material resources needed to build such a large city are simply unimaginable.
But now?
It just appeared out of nowhere in a wild place like Saibei!
miracle!
Absolutely a miracle! ! !
This is far more shocking than when I saw the reservoir canal!
Although many parts of the city in front of them have not been completely completed, they also understand that the entire main body is almost complete.
The rest is to build some towers on the city wall to defend against the enemy.
If we say that the reservoirs and canals that exist in the suburbs of Yingtianfu may have taken a long time to complete.
How to explain all this in front of me?
It's only been two months since they came to Saibei!
And according to what they knew, it was definitely the first time for their grandson, His Royal Highness, to go out with the army.
This is the first time I came to Saibei.
Can.
The more this happened, the more shocked they were.
Could it be that His Highness Taisun spent two months building a city of this size? ? ? ?
All the people present, including the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, the Zhao King Zhu Gaosui, and even the old man Zhu Di who had known for a long time that there would be a city here, were all shocked and speechless at the moment.
Even if the old man Zhu Di knew that there would be a city here, he never thought that the scale of this city would be so big! ! !
Every city in the Ming Dynasty spent countless manpower, material resources, and countless hours to complete the construction.
Even for the imperial palace in Shuntian Prefecture, it took 11 years to prepare the materials alone!
And it took a full three years from the official construction, and it took countless manpower to complete the construction in the near future.
This is still in the Shuntian Mansion where there is no war at all!
The more he knew about this city, the more shocked the old man Zhu Di was!
This kid really spent two months building such a magnificent city!
Although in the process of construction, many detailed problems are definitely not as complicated as those of the imperial palace, but you must know that this is Saibei!Saibei!Saibei! ! ! !
"His Royal Highness Madam Sun"
"Is this city built when you left?"
The British public Zhang Fu's voice was incomplete because of the shock in his heart.
Listening to Zhang Fu's words, everyone who was still in shock turned their heads at this moment.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhu Zhanji smiled, but nodded.
The moment they saw Zhu Zhanji nodding, many people swallowed by the way.
two months.
Such a magnificent city was built in two months.
Although compared with the Shuntian Imperial Palace, which is similar in size, it is rough, but this is Saibei, what else can they ask for? ?
No one knows better than the generals in their army what it means if the Ming army can have a city of this size in Saibei!
It means that in Saibei, a place where the Ming Dynasty has no influence, their army in the city can arrive within a radius of [-] miles, day and night!
It's still walking!
If it is a cavalry, within a hundred miles, it will come in the morning and evening!
The key is in such an environment, the soldiers living in this city can still keep warm in winter, and have the city wall as a defense when the enemy attacks.
If they were able to have a city when they encountered the attack of the prairie coalition forces, let alone the evil wind, let alone the casualties of 8000 people.
With 100,000 soldiers guarding the city, facing the siege of [-] people from various tribes in the grassland, and the opponent has no firearms and cannons, if the casualties exceed [-], the general defending the city can directly commit suicide.
The battle of Hongdu at the end of Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Wenzheng's 600,000 troops faced the deadly attack of Chen Youliang's 89 troops, and they stood firm for [-] days!
This is still the Han army!
If you are facing this group of soldiers on the prairie who don't understand siege warfare at all, you can imagine the result!
Other than starving everyone in the city to death, if you want to destroy the city, don't even think about it!
But now it is Yongle Dynasty!
Only the Ming army besieged the grassland tribes. Facing the Ming army, if they didn't run away, it would be considered a high incense.
Still under siege.
In addition to these direct effects reflected in the military.
With this city, they can station troops here all the year round from the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
The entire route will become the actual control area of the Ming Dynasty!
The completion of this city basically means that the land with a radius of hundreds of miles will become the land of his Ming Dynasty!
Just imagine, do these grassland tribes dare to live within a range of one or two hundred miles around this city?
Scared and scared them to death!
When an army goes out to fight, it doesn't even need to bring luggage.
With seven or eight days' worth of food, ten or twenty thousand cavalry go out, and some small tribes can be wiped out on the spot.
It is the most powerful Tatar tribe on the grassland, and its interior is also composed of many small tribes.
Like these tribes, 20,000 people, one back and forth every five days, can be served directly!
But if it is on weekdays, without this city, if you want to send troops from within the Ming Dynasty to attack, even if the opponent does not resist, it will never be possible within a few months.
What's more, when you run all the way here, people don't know where you are running.
Either that, or there is already a large army waiting for you around.
The so-called blitzkrieg, surprise attack, is almost impossible.
But now.
All this will become a reality.
This is the impact of this city!
Even, they can build another city a hundred miles away.
Just like that, bit by bit, the entire grassland was eaten away.
And they don't need to send much troops.
In the face of the attacks of those grassland small tribes, a city guards 3000 people and resists [-] to [-], easily.
When everyone was looking at the city in front of them in shock, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, was shocked and said to the old man Zhu Di: "Father, you can go back. This battle was fought for you. I promise not to fight!" Something went wrong!"
As soon as Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu's words came out of his mouth, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Immediately afterwards, everyone present praised and admired Zhu Zhanji.
All kinds of nonsense were said.
Why lay a century-old foundation for the Ming Dynasty to recover the northern part of the Great Wall?
Miracle.
Appalling.
What a feat to overwhelm the champion.
Why is this city better than Emperor Wudi I's attack?
However, in the face of these people's words and the old man's admiration, Zhu Zhanji was still calm. He smiled and said to everyone present: "Everyone, you all praised the wrong person."
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he pushed out Zhu Zhanqian, the fifth brother beside him, and said, "This city was not built by me, but by my fifth brother. If you want to boast, he is the one who built it this time." The greatest hero."
Compared with the people present, Zhu Zhanji knew more about the significance of this city in the hinterland of Saibei.
The existence of this city is more than just reflected in the military.
It is not that the past dynasties have not conquered this grassland, but what is the use of conquering this grassland?
As long as the enemy wipes out your vital force on this grassland, the land will change hands instantly.
Even if you send a large army to guard here, it's not like those people from various tribes in the grassland can flee and hide everywhere.
What is needed is to guard the frontier here for the imperial court behind.
If this is the case, there are countless ways to eliminate you.
And in this case, there is no way for this grassland to completely become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
But if you build cities on this grassland, these cities are like needles that fix the sea, firmly nailing this piece of land to your territory.
Then came the people who lived here.
Lay down this territory militarily, and then completely brand this land with your mark through cultural, economic, and population integration.
In this way, this land truly becomes your land.
A land that cannot be changed from generation to generation.
Of course, there are many far-reaching implications.
But obviously these deep-seated things are not something these generals who are used to fighting can think of.
Otherwise, there would be no distinction between civil servants and generals.
And as Zhu Zhanji pushed out the old fifth, Zhu Zhanqian, everyone also expressed their admiration towards the fifth.
The old man is also rare to praise: "Good job!"
When he heard the old man's praise for him, the fifth brother Zhu Zhanqian was so excited.
He likes military affairs, but he regarded his grandfather as an idol since he was a child.
It is a great recognition for him to hear his grandfather's praise now.
The point is, this is the first time his grandfather praised him so much.
However, after the flattering of the crowd was finished, a general who had never seen the reservoir and canal couldn't help but said, "This city is certainly good, but the construction time is so short, is it strong?"
Of course, he was not questioning Zhu Zhanji and others, but from a military point of view, thinking about whether the city could resist the enemy's attack.
Faced with the question raised by this person, Zhu Zhanji said to Zhu Zhanji, the fifth brother beside him, without hesitation: "Old fifth, go, get some gunpowder."
After hearing this, Lao Wu immediately turned around and started to prepare.
But the people present immediately widened their eyes.
It's not too big to play, is it? ?
Come up with gunpowder?
But when the second and third uncles on the side persuaded that there is no need to do this, as long as they can guard against the enemy's cavalry attack, it would be good, but Zhu Zhanji said confidently: "Second and third uncles, don't worry."
soon.
The fifth child came with gunpowder.
Judging from the volume, it is obvious that the portion is still small.
After a soldier ignited the gunpowder and ran away, a huge explosion sounded.
When everyone looked at the city wall that was close to the explosion again, they found that the main body of the city wall was not affected at all except for some cement that fell off the city wall.
After all, this is a city wall several meters wide.
After seeing this scene, everyone also had a general understanding of the strength of the city wall.
After everyone had seen the city, the old man Zhu Di still couldn't help but said: "Stinky boy, I saw this city, but grandpa is a little curious, how did you build this city, and how can you build it in two months?" Can it be built to this extent in such a short period of time?"
Faced with the old man's doubts, Zhu Zhanji glanced at the fifth brother Zhu Zhanji beside him, and then replied to the old man with a smile: "Grandpa, I am actually a little surprised by my grandson. According to my grandson's previous prediction, This city should take at least three months, or even four months to build."
“This time is too long”
When Zhu Zhanji said this, everyone present couldn't help but pouted.
Three or four months, to build such a city, you still say it takes too long?
Want a face?
However, even after seeing everyone's thoughts, Zhu Zhanji continued: "Of course, it's not because it can't be built, but because we still need to prepare a lot of raw materials. We used to rely on the transportation of those Jurchen tribes to build It was built in a short amount of time.”
"The most important thing is the iron ore."
"Where did you get the iron ore in the middle, you have to ask this kid."
With that said, Zhu Zhanji pushed the fifth brother Zhu Zhanqian out again.
Following his elder brother's words, the fifth brother, Zhu Zhanqian, no longer had the excitement and nervousness when he spoke in front of the old man before, and explained calmly: "The elder brother always said that there must be iron mines in this piece of land, but I have been looking for it. No. After my eldest brother left, I have been sending people to look for it everywhere, but luckily, I found it."
"With these iron ores, the construction of this city will be faster."
After hearing Lao Wu's explanation, Zhu Zhanji said again: "Old Wu, since grandpa wants to see it, you can take him there to see how it was built."
"it is good!"
Afterwards, the old fifth Zhu Zhanxi took the old man, second uncle, third uncle and the generals to walk towards the place under construction together, wanting to see what kind of craftsmanship allowed them to build in such a short period of time. Inside, such a magnificent city was built.
As for Zhu Zhanji, he didn't follow.
After I went there, maybe the old man would have to ask questions again, and there were some things that he really couldn't answer.
For example, why does cement solidify so quickly and so on.
Can he explain it clearly?
Since the explanation is not clear, then simply leave it alone.
Let the fifth child talk nonsense with them.
Zhu Zhanji himself stood on the hill and looked around the surrounding environment.
Because the city hadn't been built before, I didn't think much about other things.
But now that the city is nearing completion, he also has leisure time to observe the surrounding terrain.
After just a few cursory glances, Zhu Zhanji discovered that these two hills were originally used to block the city from being discovered by others.
When I look at it now, I find that Gong Wei is on both sides of the city like two soldiers.
In the middle of the two hills, there is a road leading to the west of the outside world.
And further east is a whole piece of the Great Plains.
If a watchtower can be built on top of these two hills, by virtue of the height of the hill itself, it can provide an excellent view for the city and improve the early warning capabilities of many cities.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the terrain here to build some forts on it.
But after thinking about it, I felt wrong.
If many forts are built on these two hills, the combination of these two hills and city defense can certainly be improved.
But the point is that once the enemy knocks down these two hills, don't these forts become the siege keys they prepared for the enemy.
After thinking about it, with today's ancient combat methods, building a fort still does more harm than good.
But if it is placed in later generations, the advantages will naturally outweigh the disadvantages.
While considering the issue of city defense, Zhu Zhanji looked at a large plain to the east of the city, and also found a way out for the future development of the city.
While Zhu Zhanji was standing alone on the hill, looking around, thinking about messy things, on the other side, the old man Zhu Di and his party went to watch the construction process of the city with the old fifth Zhu Zhanqian.
At this moment, he returned to the hill again.
While walking, I also lamented the power of the concrete technology.
After watching all this, the old man Zhu Di also proposed to return to the camp.
"Since the construction of the city here has come to an end, our camp should no longer be stationed in place, it is better to move to the city as soon as possible."
"Firstly, the army can help the people here to complete the final construction as soon as possible, and secondly, it can also ensure the safety of this place. If scouts from the grassland ministries find out, then they can make wedding dresses for others."
Naturally, no one present would object to these words of the old man, especially those generals, who lived in a city, so how could they like to live in that big camp.
Although there are no buildings in the city at this time, even an empty shell is much stronger than the outside.
Only those who have been here and stayed for one night can understand how strong the wind is on the grassland at night.
Only those who have lived here can appreciate the temperature difference between night and day.
And it would be different if they lived in this city, at least they could block a lot of wind for them.
The temperature inside the city is naturally very different from the temperature in the wilderness outside the city.
The most important thing is safety, even if the enemy army has already hit the city, he is not in a hurry to get up slowly.
But living in the wilderness, even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed around, there is no guarantee that they will not be attacked by the enemy at night.
It would be fine to die in battle. If someone hacked to death on the bed, it would be aggrieved. Therefore, when these generals went out with the army, they were very cautious even at night, and they couldn't sleep peacefully.
Seeing that everyone at the scene unanimously agreed with this idea, the old man Zhu Di immediately rode on the horse with everyone and returned to the Ming army camp.
However, the Ming army camp was after all a large army of 500,000 people, and the relocation was not a trivial matter.
Just in case, an army of 10 was first dispatched to station around the city, and then the army slowly moved in batches.
But because when going to the city this time, in addition to the old man Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji and others, there were 2000 cavalry accompanying him.The news about the city naturally spread throughout the entire camp of the Ming army in a short period of time.
And the news spread more and more outrageous.
It even evolved to the end, and some said that his highness, the grandson, conjured a Beijing city out of thin air.
In addition to the rumors that have been circulated before, such as the fact that he fell from the sky when he was married.
For a while, as His Highness the Grandson, he really brought some mythological color in the mouths of these people.
Said he was some kind of Yinglong from the sky who came to the world.
Naturally, Zhu Zhanji would not pay attention to these rumors.
Although he himself would definitely not take it seriously, these rumors and rumors that are beneficial to him may help him in some ways.
After all, this was in ancient times.
As the grandson of the emperor, adding some mythological elements will only benefit him and not harm him as an emperor in the future.
Otherwise, the so-called mythical origins fabricated by the emperors since ancient times would be unreasonable.
So while ignoring it, I didn't clarify or obstruct anything.
But these rumors and rumors that he didn't take seriously, some people believed them to be true.
Even the spies planted by Mahamu in the Ming army spread the matter as a secret report.
At this time, Mahamu, who had just led an army here from afar, rushed to this place.
In the first time, they received a secret report from within the Ming army.
When he saw the rumors of the so-called Yinglong descending into the world, Mahamu naturally didn't believe it.
As for the so-called appearance of a city out of thin air, it was just a joke.
This is the hinterland of their prairie people.
Don't they know if there is a city here?
Even if Mahamu was killed, he would not believe that a city was built in such a short period of time.
He even ordered the person who sent the secret report to go back and reprimand the spy who was inside the Ming army.
Ask him to pass some useful information back.
Mahamu only regarded all this as a means often used by the Han emperor, in order to improve the morale of the army.
And with the army of various tribes in the grassland rushing here, after sending countless scout teams to scout around.
After the news of many scouts and spies came back, they all attributed the reason why the Ming army planned to go here this time to that so-called city that appeared out of thin air.
Many soldiers even said that they saw the city with their own eyes.
For this reason, Mahamu even beheaded several members of the scout team on the spot.
Think they are deliberately spreading rumors.
Did not perform the task of investigation well.
That's why several members of the scouting team were beheaded on the spot to warn others.
How could a city appear out of thin air overnight?
Could it be that the great-grandson of the Ming Dynasty was really a dragon from the sky who descended into the world and used the supernatural powers of calling wind and rain to transform a city out of thin air?
However, what surprised him Mahamu was that the matter about the city did not end after he beheaded several members of the scouting team.
Instead, the rumors intensified.
Even, the members of the scouting team who were sent out to carry out reconnaissance missions later reported that the Ming army owned a city at the risk of being beheaded after checking the information.
For several days in a row, even Mahamu, who hadn't figured out why the Ming army assembled here, was very anxious.
Coupled with the rumors about the city, it also gave him a very headache.
You must know that the ability to summon wind and rain and conjure a city out of thin air is something in mythology.
How could it be true.
But when more and more soldiers from various tribes in the grassland believed the rumors and rumors, they thought that they were going to fight against the mythical figure, and their morale was really shaken for a while.
Many soldiers even began to kneel on the ground, praying for their immortality to come to the world to help them deal with the mythical figures in the Ming army.
For such a thing, Na Mahamu naturally found it very ridiculous.
But the key point is that his subordinates believe it very much.
After all, the chiefs of various tribes on their grassland also use this method of fictional myths to achieve the purpose of ruling.
Now that your ruling class has acknowledged the existence of such myths and legends, don’t the myths spoken by other people and other races really exist?
When this matter intensified in the army, Mahamu never thought that one day he would have a headache because of this kind of thing.
Although he really wanted to send someone to kill a few people who spread rumors in the army again, he also understood that such rumors and rumors cannot be stopped by killing alone. The more you kill, the more such cases will happen. .
What made him feel even more speechless was that a leader of a small tribe among the various tribes in the grassland actually believed such rumors, and even came to him in person to ask if it was true.
This made Mahamu very confused, how did the leader of this small tribe come to power.
For four or five days in a row, Mahamu did not hear any important information about the Ming army from the spies he sent out.
On the contrary, he was devastated by the rumor that the city had been conjured out of thin air.
It even became the most troublesome thing for Mahamu since the Ming army's northern expedition.
Even Zhu Zhanji, who came from his previous life and is well versed in ancient and modern times, would never have imagined that what defeated these grassland tribes was not because of artillery, firecrackers and explosives, or even those methods that surpassed the times, but rumors spread casually among the army.
If he knew about this, he would probably laugh his ass off.
As for the temporary co-owner of the grassland coalition, Mahamu, since he couldn't think of any good way to curb the rumors, he could only go again with the scout team who had seen the city with his own eyes.
He just wanted to expose these people's lies in this naked way.
After hearing Mahamu's request, those members of the scout team who said they saw the city, instead of feeling the slightest bit of fear and fear, seemed very excited.
As if to say, finally someone believes in us.
Mahamu, who is good at knowing people, was really surprised after seeing the expressions on their faces.
But thinking that the Ming army really built a city as big as a palace in a short period of time, he would never believe it.
How long has it been since the Ming army entered Saibei?
That city appeared in the hinterland of his prairie tribe, and it took only a few days for the Ming army to arrive here.
In such a short period of time, unless a city really fell from the sky, he really couldn't think of any means to achieve such a goal.
The trace of hesitation and confusion in my heart disappeared in an instant.
But as they got closer and closer to the place where the Ming army was stationed.
The scout squad spies around him became more and more excited.
After telling him in advance that he would arrive at the location of the city soon, Mahamu also raised his spirits.
At the same time, he used his eyes to signal the grandson beside him to pay attention at all times.
Because this is where the Ming army was stationed.
Once discovered, none of them can escape.
However, when they carefully turned over a hill.
On the endless plain in front of him, a majestic city suddenly appeared!
The size of this city is even comparable to the Shuntian Palace that he saw when he entered the Ming Dynasty and explored the interior of the Ming Dynasty!
"how is this possible!!!"
Mahamu, who was usually very calm and calm no matter what happened, when he saw such a city really appeared on the prairie, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
How could such a large city appear on this prairie out of thin air!
This is like a miracle, how can Mahamu believe it.
But now that the facts were in front of him, there was no room for him not to believe it.
For a moment, then Hamu stood on the spot, staring blankly into the distance, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that Changshengtian really wants to punish your people?!"
Seeing the stunned and shocked face on Mahamu's face, the scouts on the side felt a little complacent in their hearts.
But today's Mahamu can't care about the expressions on the faces of these spies.
Let's not talk about how this city appeared, and whether it is a miracle.
Now that this city is truly in front of him, after the Ming army occupied this city, it can be said that they are sure to win this war.
How should he proceed in the next battle?
When he was facing the Ming army with an army of 50, he already knew that this battle was impossible to win. At most, it was a question of how many people could drag the Ming army down.
Now facing the Ming army with 50 soldiers and horses, it is still the Ming army with a city.
Even the purpose of consuming the Ming army has become extremely difficult.
He is very clear that with the city in his possession, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army will increase by more than ten times!
No one is more familiar with the battles in the city than the Ming army composed of Han Chinese.
They have been fighting this kind of war for thousands of years!
If they had a slight chance of winning in the previous war between the two sides, it was because the place where the battle was fought was in the grassland, in their hometown.
No one knows better than them how to fight in such an environment.
But now, with the appearance of this city, everything has changed!
For a moment, Mahamu felt that his whole body had no strength, and he was limp on the spot.
If it wasn't for the grandson next to him to support him first, the whole person would collapse to the ground.
Thinking about what might happen next, and the result that the entire grassland would fall into the hands of the Ming army, Mahamu really couldn't accept that his hometown was annexed.
"grandfather!"
Following that Mahamu's side also yelled first.
Mahamu, who was in a state of shock and despair, was awakened by his cry.
