At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 30 Soldiers to Badaling

The Ming army marched eastward in mighty force, and when they were on their way to the business site, Chen Ying hurriedly ordered people to drag the artillery out.

But Zhu Qizhen stopped him and said: "The Oirats may catch up at any time. To be on the safe side, we must move forward lightly!"

"what?"

Chen Ying was dumbfounded. Could it be that the twelve general cannons were just thrown away?
Isn't this a prodigal?
"Your Majesty, these cannons..."

"No more!"

Zhu Qizhen is straightforward, it seems that these cannons are just like those picked up by the roadside, and they don't feel bad at all.

Chen Ying was very conflicted, this thing was a treasure in his eyes, more important than his own life.

"It's better for the emperor to lead the army one step ahead and leave a team of one hundred people for the minister to transport the cannon. If the Oirats catch up, the minister will abandon it..."

"No need!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand to stop it, and said: "If the cannon is gone, it can be remade. If the people are gone, then everything is gone. I don't want the Qing family and the soldiers to take this risk!"

"But……"

"There is no need for the Qing family to say too much, just convey my will, abandon all baggage, and head towards Juyongguan at full speed!"

Chen Ying was very puzzled why the emperor valued these Qiu Bas more than cannons.

In this era, human life is the least valuable.

For ordinary people, a human life is far less valuable than a cow.

The same is true for marching and fighting. Forging a general cannon requires a thousand catties of pig iron, and its strategic value is even more immeasurable. How can the lives of a few Qiu Ba be paid for?
What's more, now it is not simply discarded, but handed over to the Wala people.

After much deliberation, I was still unwilling to do so, God knows what the consequences would be if the twelve great generals put the cannons in Ye Xian's hands!
"Your Majesty, if you insist on abandoning the luggage, why not send someone to destroy these cannons!"

Although it hurts so much, it's the only way to go now.

"Forget it!" Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "Take it as a gift from me to Yexian!"

Chen Ying was speechless immediately, can this thing be given away casually?

Cannon, Your Majesty, this is all silver!

Seeing Chen Ying's troubled face, Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plans."

Chen Ying felt helpless, but did not continue to persist.

"My minister... according to the order!"

The order was conveyed step by step, and the army continued to move forward. Chen Ying looked back at the twelve general cannons in the camp, and his heart was bleeding.

As everyone knows, Zhu Qizhen doesn't like these things at all, and the reason why he didn't let Chen Ying destroy them is because he has other plans in mind.

After returning to the capital, the first thing to do is to improve the weapons and equipment. It is time for such old-fashioned artillery to withdraw from the stage of history.

Choosing to leave it to Yexian is not a helpless move.

First of all, you have no ammo and this thing is just a piece of scrap metal and poses no threat.

If you also get the artillery first, you will definitely find it a treasure, and you will invest a lot of manpower and material resources in it in the later stage. Mongolia is short of pig iron. If you want to mass-produce artillery shells, it will inevitably occupy the resources of armor and weapons. Wait for you to take them out with confidence. Artillery, I will let you see what Gatling with blue flames is!
The Ming army traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Badaling after two days.

Looking at the towering city wall, Zhu Qizhen felt relieved.

"Minister Zhang Fu welcomes the emperor! Long live my emperor!"

"Chen Kuangye welcomes the emperor! Long live my emperor!"

"Chen Luotong welcomes the emperor! Long live my emperor!"

Zhang Fu withdrew three days ago, because Zhu Qizhen insisted on staying on the battlefield, and he was needed to take charge of the overall situation here.

Kuang Ye arrived earlier. He originally returned to Beijing with the wounded soldiers. After arriving at Juyongguan, he was always worried about the safety of the emperor.

Seeing the emperor standing in front of him unharmed now, he was overjoyed and burst into tears with excitement.

"Your Majesty, you... lost weight!"

Seeing Kuang Ye's snot and tears, Zhu Qizhen couldn't accept it, this old thing, I'm not dead, why are you crying?
"Several Qing's family are interested, let's all get up and answer!"

Kuang Ye and the others got up, hugged Zhu Qizhen and entered Guancheng.

Badaling is the gateway of the Yanshan Mountains. From here to the west is Yimapingchuan, and to the east it enters the 36-mile Guangou, which is like a deep well leading directly to Juyongguan.

After Taizong Emperor Zhu Di moved the capital, in order to strengthen the defense of the capital, he built two lines of defense in the north, namely the inner Great Wall and the outer Great Wall.

The outer Great Wall goes northwest through Chicheng, Zhangjiakou, and Huai'an into Shanxi, and then passes through Tianzhen and Datong to Baiyangling in Pianguan County.The Inner Great Wall passes through Yi County, Laiyuan, and Fuping to the southwest and enters the territory of Shanxi, passes through Lingqiu and Fanzhi to Baiyangling, and connects with the Outer Great Wall here.

There are six famous passes on the inner Great Wall line, the Juyong Pass, Zijing Pass, and Daoma Pass on the east side are called the Inner Three Passes, and the Pian Pass, Ningwu Pass, and Yanmen Pass on the west side are called the Outer Three Passes.

Among these passes, Juyongguan is the most important gate of the capital, and Badaling is an important outpost of Juyongguan. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the danger of Juyongguan lies not in the pass but in Badaling".

Zhu Qizhen entered Guancheng, stood on the city wall and looked down. There are two peaks sandwiched here, and the mountain is majestic.

At this moment, he couldn't help feeling in his heart, starting from the civil fort, blitzing the Guishui River, blocking Boyan, and getting out of the dead end step by step.

As for Wala, first, write down this hatred first, just wait, I will come back to find you!
That night, Zhu Qizhen finally had a good night's sleep.

These days, in addition to fighting wars, they also have to guard against being attacked at night, so that no one can sleep.

The siege of the Tumu Fortress has been lifted, and the teacher will return to Beijing tomorrow. The real emperor's life is finally coming.

In his sleep, he seemed to see that beautiful girl at the front desk again, who was recommending the emperor supreme package in the store to him.

"Boss, do you still order NO.18 technician tonight?"

"okay!"

"Your Majesty, wake up, the Oirats are coming!"

"Yes, press your feet first..."

Fan Zhong was stunned again, thinking what happened to the emperor recently, and pressed his foot again?
He was ruthless, touched the soles of Zhu Qizhen's feet, and pressed down hard.

"Hey, what's the matter with you..."

Zhu Qizhen sat up straight away, and then saw the pretty face of No. 18 technician, which turned into a bearded Fan Zhong.

"Your Majesty, the Oirat army has seized the pass!"

"what?"

"The Oirats are chasing after them, and they have camped five miles away from Badaling Pass!"

Zhu Qizhen was furious, I pressed my foot... no, I can't sleep well, is it over?
It was about five watch at this time, and before dawn, the cold wind was howling, refreshing the bones.

Wearing a cloak, Zhu Qizhen boarded the city wall, looking around, the camp in the distance was brightly lit, and there were about tens of thousands of people.

Looking at the situation, they are also preparing for a strong attack!
