Chapter 58 Jingshi, I'm Back

The combat effectiveness of the [-] Battalion has long been different from what it used to be. Facing a mere [-] Mongolian cavalry, they don't take it seriously at all.

First, find a place suitable for an ambush to hide, and wait for the opponent to approach, and a charge will resolve the battle.

Li Zhen dragged a Mongolian man's braids to Zhu Qizhen, kicked him to the ground, and cursed: "The dog still dared to resist, if the emperor didn't say to keep alive, I would chop you up on the spot!"

The man was sitting on the ground, but he was not willing to show weakness, and kept yelling and cursing in Mongolian.

Zhu Qizhen asked: "Hey, can you speak Chinese?"

The other party ignored it at all, and continued to yell and curse, with a look of resentment on his face.

At this time, Feng Yi who was standing beside him seemed to see the dawn, and hurriedly said, "I report to the emperor, the grassroots understand some Mongolian and can help the emperor translate!"

"Who asked you to translate!" Zhu Qizhen frowned, "Go away!"

"Yes Yes!"

Feng Yi hurriedly stepped aside trembling, not daring to vent his breath.

Zhu Qizhen turned to Li Zhen again, dissatisfied: "Why did you catch him back?"

Li Zhen scratched her head and said doubtfully, "Didn't the emperor say that he wanted to keep a living..."

"What's the use of this life you caught? Can you understand what this man said?"

Li Zhen shook her head and said, "I don't understand!"

"That's it!" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Pull it down and cut it!"

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

A miracle happened, the Mongolian suddenly could speak Chinese.

"Whatever you want to ask, just ask me, don't kill me!"

"Bad bone!" Zhu Qizhen gave a piss and asked, "Is your name Chahantai?"

"Yes, the full name is Tuhuan Chahantai!"

"From the Tatars?"

"Yes, from the Tatar Ministry!"

"You said you didn't herd sheep well on the grassland, why did you come to Daming from thousands of miles away?"

"This……"

Seeing Chahantai's hesitant expression, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand directly and said, "Cut it off!"

"I said, I said!" Chahantai swallowed, and continued, "Yes... I made an appointment with Cao Jixiang and his son to enter the imperial city and help him win the big position."

These words are basically the same as what Feng Yi said just now, the matter is already very clear.

"How did you get in touch?"

"letter!"

Chahantai took out a stack of letters from his body, Fan Zhong was worried about fraud, so he stepped forward to take it, and handed it to Zhu Qizhen.

"These are all correspondence between us. What I'm telling is the truth, and there is no concealment."

Zhu Qizhen glanced roughly, then put it aside, and said with a serious face: "I ask you the last question. How did you cross the Great Wall with these people?"

Chahantai wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face was very troubled.

Zhu Qizhen didn't have any patience at all, he waved his hand and said, "Chop it up, chop it up!"

"Don't, don't cut it!" Chahantai didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and said truthfully, "Huangya Pass has our internal support."

"Okay, okay!"

Instead of being angry, Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "My soldiers are all fine!"

The more Li Zhen listened to the side, the more angry she became, at this moment she couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I will lead the troops to Huangya Pass tomorrow!"

"No need!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "There's no need to rush over such trivial matters. You go to Beijing overnight with my will and tell them that I'm back!"

"Yes!"

Fan Zhong looked at Feng Yi who was curled up like a quail, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do with this guy?"

Zhu Qizhen said expressionlessly: "Conspirator, according to the law of Ming Dynasty, what should we do?"

"Punish the Nine Clans!"

Feng Yi hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The grass people know their mistakes, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Fan Zhong stepped forward and kicked him away, cursing: "You dog, why didn't you think of asking the emperor for mercy when you plotted to rebel?"

"Be gentle!" Zhu Qizhen said, "Don't kill him, it will still be useful to return to Beijing tomorrow!"

Fan Zhong said bitterly: "I'm just not angry in my heart, such a bastard dares to rebel!"

"What are you trying to do with this little fish and shrimp? Save yourself some effort and fight the tiger tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Fan Zhong picked up his copper hammer and said excitedly, "I want to smash the heads of these traitors to pieces one by one in front of all the officials!"

In the early morning, before the sun rose, the [-] Battalion was ready to go.

Faintly, there was a sound of horseshoes ahead. Fan Zhong stepped forward to check, only to see dozens of fast horses galloping towards him.

He saw Li Zhen at a glance. Behind Li Zhen, he was also an acquaintance, Jin Yiwei Yuan Bin.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Xiangcheng is back!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Send the order and get ready to go!"

Li Zhen, Yuan Bin and others got off their horses and arrived in a hurry.

"The humble minister Yuan Bin kowtows to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen came to Yuan Bin and reached out to help him up.

"Yuan Qing's family, why are you crying?"

"Chen...Chen...worry about the emperor..."

Yuan Bin burst into tears with excitement and spoke incoherently.

"Didn't I come back? Alright, wipe away your tears and let the soldiers see what it looks like?"

"Yes Yes……"

Yuan Bin was really worried that as a guard in Jinyi, he failed to protect the emperor well, and he always felt that he was negligent in his duty. These days, he was sleepy and sleepy. Today, he finally hoped that the emperor would come back, how could he not be excited.

Li Zhen stepped forward and said: "The minister has sent the emperor's order to return to Beijing, and His Royal Highness Prince Yi led all the officials to welcome him outside the Anding Gate!"

"Okay!" Zhu Qizhen nodded, and immediately ordered, "Pass my order and return to Beijing!"

Two thousand soldiers escorted Zhu Qizhen to the south. When the army was still ten miles away from the capital, scouts from the Imperial Army began to appear in front of them, constantly sending news of the army back to the capital. The capital was already deserted by thousands of people.

In the capital, all the civil and military officials, down to the Li people, are all waiting for the triumphant return of the Ming emperor.

Although the army turned defeat into victory in the later stage of this expedition, after all, they lost 10,000+ people in the early stage, and at most it was a tie with Wala.

But it was different when the emperor returned to Beijing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a lone army can retreat into the desert without any damage.

The outside of the Anding Gate is very wide, and it is very cold on weekdays, but now, with King Zhu Qiyu as the leader, the civil and military officials are divided into two groups, and there are as many as a hundred people on both sides according to the size of the official position.

Hu Wei, Minister of Rites, is 75 years old. Zhu Qiyu specially asked someone to prepare a cushion for him, but the old man insisted on not using it.

The Ministry of Rites has been preparing for a long time to welcome Shengjia this time.

The sound of horseshoes in front was getting closer and closer, and the [-] Battalion was already approaching the capital, but they did not divert them back to the station as before, but continued to march towards Yongdingmen with neat steps.

Hu Wei frowned suddenly and said, "What's the situation? Why are they all here?"

According to the etiquette system, when the army returned from the expedition, except for the imperial guards escorting them, all other troops had to return to their respective camps.

Zhang Fu was beside him, and said: "The emperor's arrangement must have deep meaning, I will just wait patiently."

Hu Yan shook his head and said nothing.

In his heart, as long as the emperor can return safely, these details are not important anymore.

Finally, a fast horse rushed towards him, and the person on the horse was Li Zhen, Boss of Xiangcheng.

"The emperor has a decree, His Royal Highness King Yi stepped forward to welcome you!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

After Zhu Qiyu kowtowed, he stood up and walked forward.

Li Zhen said again: "The next name is called, go to meet the driver!"

The officials couldn't help but look at each other, we have been kneeling here for a long time, you hurry up, everyone shouted long live three times, and then happily entered the city and it's over, why do you need to call the roll?

Li Zhen looked around for a week, and continued to shout: "Cao Jixiang, the supervisor of ceremonies, Ma Shun, the commander of Jinyiwei, Shi Heng, the left officer of Datong, Shi Biao, the commander of Datong, Xu Yi, the minister of the Imperial Academy, Cao Qin, the commander of Jinyiwei! "

Everyone didn't know why, and thought that these people were going to make a fortune, and everyone's eyes were full of envy and hatred.

Those who were named were all terrified, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily.

Cao Jixiang looked at Ma Shun, Ma Shun looked at Shi Heng, Shi Heng looked at Xu Chen, and no one dared to move.

Seeing this, Li Zhen urged: "Everyone, please hurry up to meet him!"

"I... I obey the order!"

In desperation, these people had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward, praying silently in their hearts, hoping that nothing happened.

Li Zhen took a look at them, and couldn't help but sneer secretly, even you bastards, dare to rebel?

Let it be a comfortable life, but if you insist on finding your own death, it seems that blood will flow into rivers again today!

 I can't take care of myself after being sprayed recently, and I am almost mentally weak as a writer, please lightly spray. . .
