Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 374 A bloody battle to the end, a happy birthday banquet

The spring breeze at the end of February awakened the silent grassland, and colorful wildflowers bloomed on the grassland. The Zhao flag and the flag of the Aegis Camp were moving in the wind at the top of the city.

Wearing armor, Zhao Chengqing led his troops to the city gate. He sat on horseback and looked down at Bagas who was tied in front of him and said: "Bagas, since you have been granted the command of the Ming Guard, you will serve me." Subjects of the Ming Dynasty. However, you have no emperor. Not only did you ignore the emperor's orders, but you also openly rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. You should be punished for your crime!"

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! It's just that you didn't rush into the battle this time. I'm afraid you've been plotting against Haixi for a long time, right?" Bagas stared at his military advisor Fan Cha with hatred, but then re-guessed.

Although this war was caused by his greed, judging from Ming's various actions, this war was not a hasty war at all, but a long-planned conspiracy.

In particular, the two friendly countries of Emu and Huifa decided to temporarily help them after seeing Beiyuan going back on its word and breaking with the Ming Dynasty.

But who would have thought that the departure of the Beiyuan army would not affect the war situation at all. The Ming army had already completed the deployment of the Western Front.When their three major tribes joined forces, the Ming army intervened on the battlefield with lightning speed, and there were enough troops to severely damage the three major tribes' alliance.

If the above are all Ming Ting's foresight on the battlefield, then the betrayal of Fan Cha, his most trusted military advisor, proves that Ming Dynasty has already completed the layout of his Alchuka tribe.

Ming Ting seemed to have expected everything from the beginning. Not only did he want to get rid of his Alchuka tribe, but he also made arrangements to eliminate the Emu tribe and the Huifa tribe at the same time.

Zhao Chengqing knew that the person in the Forbidden City was really well-planned, but it was naturally impossible for him to tell the truth: "Those who have attained the Dao will get more help, and those who have lost the Dao will have little help! You are in the end you are now, and it is your own fault as a white-eyed wolf. The Ming Dynasty's crusade against Xiao Xiao Haixi is effortless!"

"Stop talking nonsense, what are you planning to do here? Maybe I can make a deal with you!" Bagas knew that the other party would not admit it, so he got straight to the point and prepared to make a deal.

Zhao Chengqing knew that the other party relied on the troops to the west of Alchuka, so he looked very disdainful and said: "I'm afraid you have overestimated yourself! His Majesty has already issued an imperial decree. Anyone who refuses to submit to the Ming Dynasty will be killed without mercy!"

When he said the last three words, there was a strong murderous intention.

Unlike the court dominated by scholar-bureaucrats, the current emperor did not make too many compromises, nor did he have any intention of persuading the Alchukha army to surrender, but still wanted to conquer through force.

Perhaps the current emperor is indeed a tyrant. He never intends to convince others with virtue, but chooses the most brutal force to conquer the entire Alchuka tribe.

"You...you are so cruel and unrighteous!" Bagas realized that Ming Ting really didn't seem to want to recruit him, and he looked completely confused.

Zhao Chengqing found that the barbarian in front of him was very ridiculous, and said with a smile: "Anyone who offends my strong wisdom will be punished no matter how far away! You are a prisoner now, so you should think about your own funeral, or ask me for help now. A pleasure for you!"

"You...you really want to kill Ben Khan?" Bagas had already planned to give in to Daming, but the other party had no intention of recruiting him, so he asked in shock.

Tie Xiangshan had been observing Bagas's emotional changes, but he couldn't help but said: "Do you think you can avoid death?" After a pause, he turned to Zhao Chengqing and suggested: "Master Marquis, this war all started because of this person. , I despise my position and think that I will be escorted to the capital and executed by the emperor’s order! One is to let the people of the capital personally watch this evil man commit suicide, and the other is to publicly kill the traitor to enhance the prestige of our Ming Dynasty!”

"This method is very good! Come here, put him in prison immediately and take him back to the capital soon to ask for your Majesty's order to deal with it!" Zhao Chengqing immediately accepted the suggestion and ordered his own soldiers.

Bagas fell to the ground, his last illusions shattered instantly.

They really do not intend to recruit the troops from the west by themselves, but choose to completely conquer the Alchuka tribe through force. Now that they have lost their use value, it is naturally impossible for them to survive.

Next, the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Alchuka tribe started as scheduled.

The main force of the Alchukha tribe learned that Banla City had fallen. Although they had some internal differences, they finally chose to return to Banla City.

The Aegis Battalion is not only the strongest heavy armored cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, but also has the most advanced firecrackers. Together with the elite troops led by Zhao Chengqing, this encounter presents a one-sided massacre.

boom! boom! boom!
After a round of firecrackers disrupted the enemy formation, Tie Xiangshan held a broadsword and led the soldiers of the Aegis Battalion to kill the chaotic Jurchens, once again demonstrating the terrifying combat power of the heavy cavalry.

puff!puff!puff!
The elite troops under Zhao Chengqing had been accumulating a bad temper. Now facing the chaotic Jurchens, they formed a battle formation and cooperated with the most advanced Tu Qinggong to harvest the lives of these Jurchens.

War has nothing to do with right or wrong, but only the sacred mission of revitalizing China.

The Ming Dynasty took the initiative to initiate this war, not only to safeguard the emperor's sanctity, but also to demonstrate the power of the Chinese army.

kill!

Although the Jurchens are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and equipment, they are indeed a very brave and militant nation. Even if they know they are defeated, they will kill until the last person left.

dead!
Tie Xiang Mountain has long been accustomed to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Even though he admired the tenacity of these Jurchens, he knew that killing them in war would be a sign of respect, so he immediately fought hard to kill the last Jurchen.

puff!
The last blood splashed up and fell into the grass of this prairie, and the war came to an end.

Nearly 9000 people from the Alchuka tribe returned to help, but now a full [-] people have died tragically here. This war can be described as tragic.It's just that the armor of the SHIELD Battalion was too defensive. Although many personnel were injured, there were not many casualties.

On the same day, the leader of the Huifa Tribe, Batu, was overtaken by the Shanhaiguan guards who were red-eyed at the killing. However, Batu still wanted to escape, but was shot to death by Wang Ba Dongman's bow who came over.

The Ming Dynasty did not surrender without a fight, but used the most brutal force to clean up the mess.

From the encirclement battle in the Changshen Rift Valley, to the encounter outside Banla City, to the sneak attack on the Huifa Khan tent and the pursuit battle by the Liaodong Army led by Wang Zhendong, the east side of Haixi was dyed red with blood.

But all this is not over, but has just begun.

After Zhao Chengqing occupied Banla City, he did not lead his troops to leave, but stayed here.

Not only Huifawei, but also the three eastern ones in Haixi were wiped out by the Ming court. Now Alchuka County, Emu County and Huifa County will be added here and brought under the jurisdiction of Jianzhou.

So far, the rebellion of the Three Hercynians has provided the Ming Dynasty with an opportunity, and now the Ming Dynasty's plan to annex the Three Hercys and the Northeast Granary has taken a step further.

The Northeast region has abundant water resources. Although there are many virgin forests and mountains, it also has fertile grasslands and even coveted black soil.

It can be seen from the historical development that the Yangtze River and the Yellow River have nurtured the culture of the Central Plains, the Pearl River has given birth to new economic prosperity areas in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the northeastern land with Heilongjiang has unlimited potential.

As long as the Ming Dynasty promotes development, although a lot of manpower and material resources will indeed be invested in the early stage, if the Northeast Granary can be built, it will not only solve the food problem in the capital, but also solve the water transportation problem.

In this era, what consumes the most finances is not disasters, but transportation capacity.

To transport 400 million stones of grain to the capital every year, the cost often exceeds [-]%.Even if you choose sea transportation, collecting grain from various provinces to the seaside is a very time-consuming and expensive project.

Just like this, as long as the Ming Dynasty successfully develops the land in Jianzhou and Haixi Sanwei, it will be able to obtain countless lands, and it will no longer be a delusion to build Ming's northeastern grain to meet the food needs of the capital.

In Beijing, the sky is not stained with dust.

The world's largest city is still prosperous, with crowds of people at the city gate. There are various shops on both sides of the blue brick streets, and the shops inside have a dazzling array of products.Although the Ming Dynasty has continued to engage in foreign wars since Hongzhi came to the throne, it has always insisted on developing the textile industry, which has resulted in Beijing's economy not declining but becoming more prosperous.

It's just that the changes here have always been ignored by the powerful class, and they even hate this prosperous era.In the world they expected, the Ming Dynasty and the barbarians shared the blessing of peace, and they made high profits through loan sharking and enjoyed the life of a superior person.

Under this prosperity, there are actually dark waves surging.

In fact, just last night, a figure emerged from the ground again, jumped into the Taiye Pool under the cover of night, and swam towards the brightly lit palace on the other side.

Wangfu Street, Prince Consort's Mansion.

The place was decorated with lanterns and colors, making it look very festive, and many guests came with heavy gifts.

The situation this time is rather special. The person who needs congratulations is not Wang Zeng himself, but Wang Zeng's mother Zhang, who is celebrating her [-]th birthday.

The original venue was supposed to be Uncle Jingyuan's Mansion, but Zhang's relationship with his grandson Wang Xian was not harmonious, so he finally chose the Prince Consort's Mansion of his youngest son Wang Zeng.

"Master Taichang Shaoqing Zhai Ying presents a pair of jade Ruyi!"

"Master Zhang Qian, the Minister of Taipu Temple, presented you with a picture of Shoushan Mountain!"

"Lord Zhangge, the minister of Guanglu Temple, gave me a pair of white Ganoderma lucidum!"

……

Although the venue was changed to the Prince Consort's Mansion, the excitement did not diminish, and the guests who came were quite important. Even Qiu Jun, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, made a public appearance today.

Not only that, in addition to the group of Qi Xun who were closely related to Wang Zeng, the British Duke and other hereditary military honors from the founding of the country were also present.

Princess Jiashan was a lover of both the house and the bird, and she always felt that she was not worthy of Wang Zeng. This time she used all her connections to invite several of her princesses and sisters, and even the concubines of the current dynasty.

"Even if the British father-in-law is celebrating his birthday, this is all he can do, right?" Bingke Qin Ji couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw such a scene.

But a thoughtful person keenly discovered that there was an empty seat at the head table, and even Wang Zeng was only in the second seat.

Who?
While some people were still guessing who it was, the most mysterious guest finally appeared, but it was a young man who was only 15 years old.

"Xiaguan Taipu Temple Minister Zhang Qian pays homage to the prince!" Taipu Temple Minister Zhang Qian seemed to have already known that Xing Wang Zhu Youqi would appear, and immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

Not to be outdone, officials such as Zhangge, the minister of Guanglu Temple, also came to see King Xing Zhu Youqi to pay tribute, trying to leave a good impression on him.

"The yin is prosperous and the yang is declining, and the main force is rising on the side?"

This matter is a secret to ordinary people, but the powerful people in the capital have many eyes and ears, and they have already known the content of Dongfang Wudao's Fuji.Although I don't understand the specific meaning of "yin is prosperous and yang is declining", "the main body dies and the yang rises on the side" is very obvious.

Since Zhu Youtang ascended the throne, even though he passed the national draft, he has never had an heir.But the main death must refer to the great lineage, which indicates that the tyrant Hongzhi will have no heirs and his life will be short.

As for "Xingxing", this naturally assumes that after Zhu Youtang passed away, he must have a sideline to inherit the big guns, and the answer to this word "Xing" is almost ready to be revealed.

Xingwang Zhu Youqian was the second son of Xianzong and the eldest brother of Zhu Youtang.According to the rules of succession of the Ming Dynasty royal family, once Zhu Youtang passes away, Zhu Youqi will definitely inherit the throne.

There is an undercurrent surging in the capital today, and there is always a shortage of political speculators in the court.

Whether it was after the Tumubao Incident or the subsequent Seizing the Gate Incident, a group of speculative politicians emerged, and they gained fame through this.

Now that Zhu Youtang has no descendants, the Eastern gods reveal secrets again.

Officials who were not reused in the Hongzhi Dynasty naturally wanted to win. After all, Zhu Youtang did not look at family background and qualifications, but judged officials based on their abilities, making it impossible for them to be reused.

On the other hand, if they bet on King Xing early now, once King Xing inherits the throne in the future, they will be able to make great contributions to the throne by virtue of this status, and they will be able to make waves in the new dynasty.

Just like this, when they learned that Xing Wang Zhu Youqi would come to attend this birthday banquet, they all brought heavy gifts to congratulate him, trying to leave a good impression on the future emperor of Ming Dynasty.

"My lords, the little king is polite!" Zhu Youqian, a fair-skinned young man with delicate features, said politely.

Although it had only been more than a year since he moved out of the Forbidden City, he had already begun his studies during the reign of Emperor Xianzong.Over the years, he has been taught by Qingliu officials, and he has gained an air of elegance.

Thanks to the crazy indoctrination of Qingliu officials, Zhu Youqi was not only an anti-war activist, but also recognized the Confucian doctrine of the emperor's rule.

By the standards of Qingliu, Zhu Youqi can be regarded as a wise king, and a wise king who can bring rejuvenation to the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing King Xing arrive, Mrs. Zhang smiled from ear to ear because she believed deeply in the art of supporting the ji. At the same time, she made arrangements and said: "Don't be so indifferent. Go over there and accompany the ladies, especially Xing." The king’s natal family!”

This……

Several of the Zhao Ming ladies present couldn't help but look at each other in shock. That family member was not even the Zhao Ming Madam, but they didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to make this arrangement.

"Yes!" Princess Jiashan has a kind-hearted nature and seems to be submissive.

Mrs. Zhang watched Mr. Jiashan go forward obediently, as if everything was taken for granted. She didn't feel that her arrangement was excessive at all, and rolled her eyes silently.

She was actually opposed to the marriage at that time, and did not want her second son, who had been smart since childhood, to marry the current princess, but she could not resist that it was her husband's arrangement and it was Xianzong's will.

But now she is the mother-in-law after all, but she wants to kill this "ugly daughter-in-law".

The banquet started as scheduled, and due to the presence of King Xing, the atmosphere quickly reached a climax. The high-ranking officials and dignitaries who came took the opportunity to toast to King Xing Zhu Youqi.

Zhu Youqian was still a little restrained at first, but after a few glasses of water and wine, he gradually became fascinated by this banquet with stars holding the moon, and he was even more looking forward to the throne in his heart.

At this time, a young official wearing a third-grade official uniform broke into the place with a group of wolf-like policemen. The official stood upright and faced the group of senior officials and dignitaries, and even looked down upon them. king. (End of chapter)
