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

Chapter 438 Gu Xi
Liugui Country, Beishanwei.

This place is located in the extreme north, covered with ice and snow all the year round, but there is a towering volcano, occasionally bursting out of the ground fire, so the climate is sometimes icy cold, sometimes warm like spring, just like a world of ice and fire.

On the vast ice field, a group of cavalry roared past.

The commander Li Shenghe took the lead, returned to the city wall, and went straight to the main tent of the Chinese army.

"My lord Commander, luckily the soldiers did not disgrace their orders and repelled the main force of the Yasha Kingdom. This battle is a great victory!"

The large tent of the Chinese army is tightly wrapped in fur and felt, but it is too far away from the volcano. Although it is to the south, the temperature is colder.

Song Guxi wore a sable fur, sat lazily on a chair, and said, "How is the battle going?"

"A total of [-] enemies were killed, and more than a thousand prisoners were taken. Do you think those prisoners..."

Li Shenghe stretched out his hand and gestured on his neck, with a fierce look in his eyes.

It's not that he is bloodthirsty, but that after Song Guxi came to Liugui Country, he used ruthless methods and decisive killings, and gained a firm foothold in a short period of time.

Whether it is the local natives, or the Tatars and Jurchens who have fled here, as long as they stand on the opposite side of Ming Dynasty, there is only one dead end.

"Um……"

Song Guxi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Forget it, stay here, it's just to accumulate some virtue for my unborn child."

As she spoke, she reached out and touched her swollen belly, with a happy smile on her face.

"Humble job understands that it just so happens that building a city requires labor, so it would be a pity to kill it!"

Song Guxi nodded, and said, "I've been getting more and more inconvenient recently, so if there's anything you need to discuss, just discuss it."

"Your Excellency, I want to rest, I will make arrangements for the humble job!"

Li Shenghe clasped his fists in salute, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

A hundred households stepped forward and asked, "Master Tongzhi, what's the matter?"

This person's name is Chen Tao, and he has been with Li Shenghe since before going to sea, so he is an old acquaintance.

Li Shenghe said: "The commanding officer ordered that those captives be sent to the north to repair the city wall!"

Chen Tao was dissatisfied and said, "Stay alive again?"

Li Shenghe turned his head and asked, "What did you say?"

"I... mean to say that the commander has become so indecisive recently for some reason, and it was not like this in the past!"

Chen Tao lowered his voice on purpose, as if he was worried about being heard by someone in the big tent.

"Oh?"

Li Shenghe smiled and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"I'm joking with the adults, but the little ones don't dare to have opinions, that's, that's..."

"Just how?"

Chen Tao smiled meaningfully and said, "My lord, do you know what the brothers below say?"

Seeing this person's secretive appearance, Li Shenghe said dissatisfiedly: "Don't be a motherfucker, speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go of your fart!"

Chen Tao smiled coyly, and said: "Our commander was born as a rebel from Bailian, and she is also a woman. When she first landed on the island, she relied on her ruthlessness to calm people down, but now she has become so indecisive. , where is the prestige?"

Li Shenghe frowned and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Only then did Chen Tao say: "My lord, you are the commander appointed by the imperial court. If you want to replace him, the brothers will definitely support you..."

Snapped!
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped across the face.

"I think you don't want to live anymore!"

Li Shenghe was furious, pointed at Chen Tao's nose and cursed: "You idiot don't want to live, I haven't lived enough!"

"I, humble..."

Chen Tao was slapped unexpectedly, a little at a loss.

Li Shenghe grabbed his neck and said angrily: "You are so annoying, do you know that she is a woman in the fourth emperor!"

"Ah, this..."

Chen Tao was even more at a loss, his face turned green with fright.

Li Shenghe felt puzzled and kicked him flying.

"The baby in her stomach is of the four dragon species. If it is a four-boy baby, it will be the prince of Ming Dynasty with four foreheads. If you want to die, don't pull your forehead!"

After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and walked away.

Chen Tao stood up clutching his stomach, glanced at the big tent, and couldn't help but burst into cold sweat.

"Sir, wait for me!"

Li Shenghe took the lead and came to Daying in the north, where a new city was being erected.

At the beginning, there were more than 5000 White Lotus Sects who came here from the mainland of Ming Dynasty, and more than [-] people from the imperial court, a total of [-] people.

These people say a lot less, and more is not too much.

It is enough to expand the territory in Liugui Country.

Because the land here is sparsely populated, there are only a few uncivilized barbarian tribes, and there are a small group of Mongols and Jurchens who fled.

Five thousand well-equipped Ming troops could sweep almost everything.

However, it is far from enough to cultivate fields to grow food and develop infrastructure.

Because of this, after Song Guxi landed on the island, he killed decisively at the beginning, leaving no survivors, and then gradually became more restrained, captured the enemy army, planted land and built the city.

Now, in addition to the original 5000 people in the Ming army's position, there are more than 5000 prisoners.

With sufficient labor force, the project can be started.

At a suitable distance from the crater, an open land was chosen, and the construction of Daming's first city in Liugui Kingdom began.

Li Shenghe escorted more than 1000 newly captured captives here, digging mountains to fetch stones, burning lime, smelting steel, and paving roads, he was very busy.

"My lord, something has been discovered over there!"

Li Shenghe asked, "What's wrong?"

"Among the natives, there was a Mongol who was caught by us!"

"Mongol?"

Li Shenghe's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand: "Go, take me to see!"

In a small, simple tent in the middle of the camp, there was a naked man tied to a pillar with streaky flowers, his body was bloody from beatings.

"grown ups!"

The two soldiers in the tent saw Li Shenghe and hurriedly saluted.

"Ok!"

Li Shenghe nodded and asked, "What's the situation with this person?"

One of the pawns said: "My lord, this guy is a Mongol. He is mixed among the natives. There must be a conspiracy!"

Li Shenghe came to look at the man and asked, "How did you find out?"

"The little one accidentally discovered that this guy could understand Chinese, so he became suspicious, arrested him, took off his trousers, and saw it at the bottom of his thigh!"

Speaking of which, there are no horses in Liugui Country and Yasha Country. You only need to see if there are traces of riding a horse on the thighs, and you can easily tell the difference.

Li Shenghe asked again: "Have you recruited?"

"My lord, this guy is still a tough guy, and he didn't say a word after he was caught."

Li Shenghe said blankly: "Cut off his fingers one by one."

"Yes!"

Facing the cold light of the dagger, the man finally couldn't help shouting: "If you dare to cut my finger, I will bite my tongue and kill myself!"

Li Shenghe smiled, as if he had heard something funny, and said, "Do you dare?"

"me……"

This man's Chinese was a bit blunt, coupled with his timidity, he was even more at a loss.

"If you dare not, I can help you!"

Li Shenghe beckoned, and the pawn behind him stepped forward.

"Cut his tongue off!"

"Don't, don't..."

The man was finally frightened, and shouted: "If I cut off my tongue, I will be even more unable to speak."

"Is it important that you can talk?"

"I...I know something, don't cut my tongue..."

"Say!"

"I have conditions..."

Li Shenghe said angrily: "You're so skinny, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?"

"I have... information..."

"If you have anything to say, hurry up, you won't have a chance if it's too late, I have a lot of things to do, I don't have time to play with you!"

"Okay, I said!"

The man seemed to understand his situation, so he no longer hesitated.

"I'm under Tutuo Buhua's tent, Zuo Prime Minister Ajitai..."

"Prime Minister Zuo?"

Li Shenghe curled his lips, showing suspicion.

"I'm really Prime Minister Zuo, if you don't believe me, you can ask me, I know a lot..."

"Fuck your mother's Prime Minister Zuo, I only care about information."

Li Shenghe waved his hands impatiently, and then said: "If the information you provided is valuable, maybe you can save your life. If it's just delaying time, it's all fucking nonsense. I will chop you up one by one and throw it in Back up the mountain to feed the wolves!"

"I am Ajitai, the left prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and I am sent to the Yasha Kingdom by order of Tuotuo Buhua sweating profusely!"

Yasha country is located in the north of Liugui country. The two countries are bounded by the giant volcano in the center of the peninsula. Although there are some battles on weekdays, this place is sparsely populated and there are no people everywhere. It is difficult to have fierce conflicts. Therefore , the two countries have lived in peace for hundreds of years.

Since the Ming army landed in Liugui Country, it quickly changed the pattern of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Many wandering tribes, those who obey Daming are regarded as allies, hello, hello, hello everyone.

Those who don't follow will be killed directly.

If you don't want to be good, then go to hell!
After the Ming army occupied the country of Liugui, the Yasha country in the north began to move around.

At the very beginning, everyone didn't take it seriously, they just thought that Yecha Kingdom saw the turmoil in Liugui Kingdom and wanted to take advantage of the situation to loot and get a share of the pie.

However, things gradually became a little strange.

These barbarian tribes are actually gathering large armies, and it seems that they are not satisfied with simply occupying a piece of land.

Song Guxi immediately decided to take the initiative to attack, so he sent Li Shenghe to lead the main force northward to fight the Yecha Kingdom head-on.

How could these barbarian tribes be the opponents of the Ming army? As soon as the two sides came into contact, they were already defeated.

I thought it was just a simple turf war, but I didn't expect that there was something else hidden behind this war.

Ajitai knew that he couldn't escape today, so he said: "The Great Khan sent me to the Yaksha country because your Ming army has already threatened the safety of the Yaksha country. If they don't send troops, they will be swallowed by you sooner or later!"

Li Shenghe scolded immediately: "You Mapi, there is no grievance between Lao Tzu and Yecha Kingdom, besides, even if there is, what does it have to do with you group of bereaved dogs?"

"We...we just can't stand it..."

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Li Shenghe said angrily: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, come and cut off his tongue!"

Ajitai was horrified, and hurriedly said: "Don't, don't... I said it!"

Li Shenghe suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "I'm not that patient, this is the last chance, hurry up!"

"I...we are sweating profusely in...in..."

"where?"

"It's just to the north of Yasha Country..."

Li Shenghe suddenly understood that Tuotuobuhua was hiding in the north of Yasha country!

Now, Daming has occupied the country of Liugui, if he takes over the country of Yasha again, his hiding place will be in danger.

Suddenly, his expression shook.

This is Tuotuobuhua, a big fish!

Now the supreme officer, Song Guxi, is inconvenient, and he directs all actions by himself. If Tuotuo can be caught, it won't be too much to be named a marquis, right?
Of those people who followed the emperor's personal expedition, which one didn't become famous?
How can such a good thing be missed!

Thinking of this, Li Shenghe smiled and asked, "You just said that you are Prime Minister Zuo?"

Ajitai was at a loss, just nodded and said: "Yes, if it's fake..."

"Do you know where Tuotuobuhua is hiding?"

"Know……"

"it is good!"

Li Shenghe slapped Ajitai on the shoulder suddenly, scaring him very much.

"How many people are there?"

"This, this..."

"Ok?"

Li Shenghe's face changed as soon as he said it, and immediately became murderous.

"About 30..."

"How many?"

"20... No, it seems to be [-]..."

"You Mapi, how much is it?"

With a mournful face, Ajitai said: "Ten thousand..."

Li Shenghe said with a smile: "There are so many people following the lost dog, you all have problems with your brains, right?"

At this time, Ajitai's expression was extremely depressed, and it seemed that he, Prime Minister Zuo, was no longer good.

"Tell me again, how many of these 1 people are capable of fighting?"

"Everyone can go to the battlefield!"

"Fart, tell the truth!"

Ajitai's lips twitched, and he said aggrievedly, "About five thousand."

Li Shenghe thought to himself, the extreme north is extremely cold and supplies are extremely scarce, tens of thousands of people is the limit that can be tolerated, and there can be no more.

If this number is true, even adult men can go to the battlefield, excluding the old and weak, women and children, at most [-] to [-]%, that is to say, no more than [-] to [-] can fight.

It can be seen that the five thousand in Ajitai's mouth was still blown out.

Now the main force of the Ming army is 5000, well-equipped, and there are tens of thousands of captives who can be used as civilian men to transport supplies, which is superior in any case.

The only problem is that he is not familiar with the terrain of Yasha country, and the place where Tuotuobuhua is located is still further north of Yasha country.

It is covered with ice and snow all the year round, and the weather is freezing. If you attack rashly, the consequences will be hard to say.

Thinking of this, Li Shenghe gave orders to keep this person under strict supervision, and then returned to the city on horseback.

After listening to his report, Song Guxi finally had a playful smile in his eyes.

"Whether it's the country of wandering ghosts or the country of Yasha, they are nothing more than uncivilized barbarians. It's boring to win against them. It's not easy to take off..."

A thought arose in her mind, since she landed in Liugui Kingdom, she went to the imperial court to report the results of the battle.

Naturally, Zhu Qizhen did not hesitate to offer rewards, and ordered to form the Beishan Guard, and appointed Song Guxi as the first commander.

However, in the final analysis, they are wearing the body of guilt after all.

If you can catch Tuotuobuhua, you will turn over completely!
