Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 801 The three kings of Han Dynasty attacked at night and made great achievements. The emperor's uncle returned to the west with a smile.

Once the collapse begins, it is difficult to stop. Thousands of surviving Mongolian troops headed south, turning like the wind.

I don’t care if I come here. I can’t control it anyway, and I can’t stop it.

There are still 10,000 Mongolian troops lying in ambush in a mountain col not far from the battlefield. They are waiting for the Ming army to chase and kill the defeated army. Then their ambush troops will come out from the thorn slope, and a mantis will catch the cicada and the oriole will appear. back.

Unexpectedly, this Ming army was somewhat different from the previous Ming army. As soon as the enemy retreated, the soldiers immediately began to clean up the battlefield.

As for pursuit, it is absolutely impossible to pursue.

Bo Lai urged the Ming army from a distance for a long time, but the Ming army did not move at all. With no choice, he could only rein in the defeated troops and return to the camp.

The attack on the camp failed, the attempt to lure the enemy failed, and Borai was greatly disappointed. In one morning, more than 4,000 cavalry were lost.

Next, both sides rest.

After the Mongolian army returned to the camp, people were also panicked. The Ming army was so cunning and guarded against both attacking camps and ambush, it was really difficult to deal with them.

The key player is the heavy infantry phalanx.

Throughout the ages, no cavalry can defeat heavy infantry if they are well prepared in advance.

The Mongolian army was tired and tired, so they sent hundreds of horses as sentinels to closely monitor the movements of the Ming army around Tangwang Mountain. The remaining people all rested.

At night, three thousand people quietly came over among the mountains southeast of the Mongolian camp.

The leaders were Zhu Zikuan, the king of Chushan, Zhu Ziyan, the king of Yongxing, and Zhu Zixu, the king of Bochuan.

These three brothers are all the sons of the late King Jian of Zhou Dynasty and the great-grandsons of Taizu. They were included in the Han Dynasty and were granted the title of Yongxing, Chushan and Bochuan in Goryeo Province.

The three brothers took their respective Qianhu Guards and carried dry food over the mountains and ridges, looking for opportunities to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.

If they were asked to attack the Mongolian cavalry head-on, they would definitely not do it. But there is no problem in finding a few lone people to tidy up the place.

After watching the Ming army's heroic killing of enemies from a distance during the day, the King of Chushan became very excited and said to his two brothers:

"Sixth brother, eighth brother, let's attack the camp tonight. The enemy has been exhausted physically and mentally after fighting for a long time. Let's rush in and behead a thousand people while they are sleeping soundly.

Then we three brothers showed their faces and reported to the court, asking the emperor to reward us with ten taels of silver for each head. "

Upon hearing this, King Yongxing and King Bochuan's eyes lit up.

For so many years, the imperial court has treated the feudal princes like pigs. Not allowed to control the army, not allowed to interfere in politics, not even allowed to give up the city.

The princes and princes of the Zhou Dynasty could only study medicine, study herbal medicine, and maintain health as a profession to make ends meet.

As for displaying ambitions and talents, there is no need to think about it and there is no way.

Finally, in the Jingtai Dynasty, God's grace was so great that the restrictions were relaxed. It was such a blessing.

Therefore, the three brothers are all vying to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Now that the opportunity arises, they can take advantage of the chaos to attack the enemy camp.

Just as he said, the king of Chushan ordered thousands of households under his command to attack the camp late at night, burn its felt tents, and behead its heads.

For each level of beheading, five taels of silver will be rewarded.

On the battlefield, the three kings did not forget to do business. For each level of beheading, you will need ten taels of silver from the emperor.

After receiving the silver reward, five taels were awarded to the soldiers, and the five taels were put into their own pockets.

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that it would come so quickly through his own way and his body.

In the early hours of the morning, there was a loud noise in the camp, and Bo Lai's sweet dream was interrupted, and he suddenly sat up from the bed.

Two soldiers rushed in in a panic: "Commander, it's not good, the Ming army is attacking the camp."

"How many enemies are there?"

"I don't know. The shouts of killing are shaking the sky. The enemies have extremely sophisticated firearms and crossbows. There are about ten thousand people."

Bolai panicked when he heard this: "I sent hundreds of sentinels to keep an eye on the Ming army's camp. Where did they come from to ambush?"

The soldier shook his head. This question was difficult to answer. The Ming army suddenly entered the camp as if magic soldiers descended from the sky. Borai was helpless when he heard this. After fighting for most of the day, both sides were very tired. Why couldn't the Ming army take a good rest?

It was already too late to think about this, so Bolai hurriedly put on his armor and went out to meet the enemy.

The three princes were also very courageous. They fought in from the south and came out from the north, killing the Mongolian camp and passing through it.

After beheading hundreds of people and disrupting the Mongolian camp, the three of them led their soldiers and headed north straight to the Ming camp.

In the second half of the night, Gu Zhong was sleeping soundly when he heard the noise outside the camp and immediately jumped up from the bed.

Gu Zhong's first reaction was that the Mongolian army had come to rob the camp. But this is a bit weird. During the day, the Mongolian army was beaten until they were running around, but they were still in the mood to rob the camp at night?

The Ming army was different from the Mongolian army. The Ming army took turns guarding in three shifts at night. At any time, 30% of the soldiers are armed and ready to enter the battlefield at any time.

It really doesn't make much sense for the Mongolian army to rob the camp.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the soldiers came to report that it was three county princes who led the guards to sneak attack on the Mongolian camp.

Gu Zhong hurriedly came out to pay his respects, welcomed the prince in and entertained him warmly.

At dawn the next day, when the head count was carried out, there were as many as 821 people. Gu Zhong, who was overjoyed, immediately expressed his joy and went straight to Tianting.

……

On that day, Zhu Qiyu got up early and read the battle reports.

Qianxue immediately sent a piece of bad news: "Husband, your uncle has passed away."

"Died? Prince Lecheng?"

"Yes, I passed away on the 17th as soon as I couldn't sleep. The news came last night."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and sighed: "Then my uncle has no chance to be optimistic about his success. I didn't have time to see Agabarji become famous all over the world. It should be a pity for him to leave."

Qianxue smiled and said: "His son sent a suicide note that he wrote in advance. The content is to remind you to be kind to the former emperor, the former prince, and the people of the world.

I also hope that after you finish the battle in Mongolia, you can put your weapons into storage, release your horses to Nanshan, and rest and recuperate with the people. "

"If you die, you will die. There are so many words. I have been kind enough to my brother and nephew. If it were anyone else, I would have killed both father and son."

"Yes, yes, ruthlessness is the most imperial family."

"You see how straightforward Li Shimin was when he killed his brothers and nephews, but nothing happened in the end and he was still a great hero.

I am so cautious and considerate of my decency. "

Qianxue replied: "Yan Li received news from Nanjing that your brother has been ill recently, either with back pain or a splitting headache.

Even if we don't attack him, it will only happen in the next two years. "

Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised when he heard this: "He is only in his early thirties, how could his body collapse so quickly?"

"Think about it, in the past ten years, he has either been homeless or frightened. Most people can't bear such a torment.

Moreover, Yan Li made his own decision and allowed him to bring several Japanese women with him. Sometimes when I feel depressed, it is inevitable that I have to resolve it several times. "

　I plan to finish it by writing another 200,000 words. I was very confident when I first started, thinking about writing three million words.

　　But the further you go, the harder it becomes to write, and the goal keeps falling again and again. After writing 1.5 million words, it is very difficult to write every 100,000 words.

　　I really can’t take it anymore. Besides, I’ve finished most of what I wanted to write, and there’s nothing left to write later. It can be considered a beginning and an end.

　　The rhythm starts to break down around 1.2 million words, which is pretty good for a newcomer’s first book.

　　I originally wanted to write about Chongzhen in my next book, but I was exhausted from searching for information. The characters and events in the late Ming Dynasty were too complicated.

　　For the time being, I plan to write an article about the farming struggle for hegemony seventeen years after Chongzhen.
