Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 163 Rewards
But having said that, you can't sacrifice face at the expense of your life!
As the saying goes, "If you keep green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood." Faced with such a situation, although once I escape, I am afraid that the camp will be lost. Once the camp is lost, and the big flag falls, these ten The tens of thousands of Ming troops may have collapsed.

But in the face of life and death, how can you care about these things? You can lose the battle, but you can't lose your life!
Therefore, although Zhu Tianqi appeared calm and composed, secretly he had already started buying off-road motorcycles at the Krypton Life Store. If the village gate was breached by Jiannu, he planned to run away directly through the back door.

Although he could directly use some big weapons to eliminate this group of enemy troops, but now there are few enemy troops, but they are mixed with a large number of Ming troops. Zhu Tianqi can't let so many Ming troops be buried with them. ?
Fortunately, those who came to attack the stronghold were not the main force of the enemy army, but only more than [-] soldiers and horses. With the restraint of the Ming army and the desperate resistance of the imperial guards, they still failed to break through the stronghold gate.

Hearing that Jiannu had withdrawn his troops, Zhu Tianqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he closed the interface for purchasing off-road motorcycles in the Krypton Life Store, and was about to get up and go out to reward the three armies.

But just as he was about to stand up, he realized that his legs were still a little weak and he was about to fall. Upon seeing this, Wang Yuanbao hurried over to help him.

Zhu Tianqi naturally couldn't show his timidity, and said with a look of disdain on his face: "My legs are a little numb from sitting down. This Jiannu hasn't even been able to break through the outer wall of the camp, so that's all!"

As he spoke, Zhu Tianqi walked towards the door of the Chinese army's tent. Before walking out of the tent, he pushed away Wang Yuanbao's hand that supported him, straightened his clothes, then walked out slowly and stood there. In front of the tent, he looked down at the imperial guards below.

When the royal guards in the camp noticed that the emperor had come out, they quickly stood up and saluted the emperor in unison.

Zhu Tianqi looked at the Imperial Forest Army under the high platform, with a satisfied smile on his face, and he said loudly: "Soldiers, you have performed very bravely in the battle just now. I am very relieved. Wait until our army wins." On the day of court, each of you will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The imperial guards thanked him in unison.

Zhu Tianqi then said: "All the soldiers have worked hard in the battle with Jiannu just now, so I have specially prepared food and wine for the soldiers as a reward!"

After saying this, Zhu Tianqi also ordered Wang Yuanbao: "Wang Yuanbao, go and bring me a set of tables and chairs. I want to drink and have fun with all the soldiers today!"

After hearing the emperor's words, the royal guards below were naturally very excited. The emperor not only rewarded them with food and wine, but also ate and drank with them. What an honor it was.

But everyone also has a question, that is, what kind of food and wine will the emperor reward everyone? After all, this camp is just a temporary station, and it is not intended to be used for a long time. Naturally, it does not carry much military rations, let alone wine and meat. I'm afraid. Even if they brought some wine and meat, they were only for the emperor to enjoy. How could there be enough food and drink for these 1 people?
But although these imperial guards had such doubts, they did not take the matter too seriously, because the emperor rewarded them with food and wine. What was important was not what they ate or drank, but the significance of the matter. Even if the emperor was drinking alone, Everyone is eating steamed buns and drinking cold water down there, which is more enjoyable than drinking and eating meat on weekdays!
Furthermore, since they arrived here in the early morning, they have still not had enough food and rice. They have just experienced a life-and-death battle, and they are so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs. The emperor does not mention repayment, but mentions it. When it comes to eating, everyone's stomachs growl.

So the one who was really in trouble was Wang Yuanbao. He was the most anxious person. The emperor wanted to reward him with food and wine, but he knew that apart from some wine and meat prepared for the emperor, there was only ordinary dry food left in the camp. If there is rice, is it possible that he really wants everyone to eat dry food and drink cold water?
But Wang Yuanbao didn't dare to remind Zhu Tianqi in front of so many soldiers. On the other hand, Zhu Tianqi didn't seem to notice anything wrong with his arrangement. Instead, he urged Wang Yuanbao: "Go quickly." Bring the wine and food to my tent!"

Wang Yuanbao didn't dare to hesitate, so he had to bite the bullet and walked back to the Chinese army's tent. But as soon as he entered, he was stunned by the sight in front of him. He saw that the Chinese army's tent was filled with various kinds of things. There are all kinds of cardboard boxes, and I don’t know how these cardboard boxes appeared out of thin air in the account.

Wang Yuanbao even doubted whether he was dreaming. He twisted his thigh hard, and the pain made him cry. Only then did he believe that the scene in front of him was real, and he didn't think about it anymore. He immediately walked out of the tent and called a dozen Jin Yiwei to come in to help move things.

These are all bought by Zhu Tianqi from the Krypton Store just now, including instant noodles, ham, various cans, peanuts, beer, liquor, self-heating pots, etc. In modern times, although they are all instant foods, no matter what Whether it is nutrition or taste is not on the table, but for the people of Ming Dynasty, these things are simply delicious!

The Jin Yiwei who were handed over by Wang Yuanbao were also stunned by the sight before them. They had always been guarding the inside and outside of the Chinese military tent, but they had never seen anyone move these things into the Chinese military tent, and there were so many of them. How could the box be hidden from their eyes?
But Wang Yuanbao didn't dare to ask more questions, so they naturally didn't dare to say anything. They had to move forward one by one to move things, and then moved them under the high platform, opened the boxes, and let the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army distribute them by themselves.

But the soldiers had never seen these things before. Apart from cans, they knew they could eat them by opening them, and they knew they could drink wine by opening them. They didn't know how to play with instant noodles and self-heating pots.

Zhu Tianqi started the on-site teaching on the high platform, "This small hot pot, you have to pour everything in first, then put this small cloth bag underneath, add cold water, cover the lid and wait for half a quarter of an hour, it will cook on its own It’s ripe!”

Zhu Tianqi's operation stunned the soldiers below. It was like a magic trick. How come the cold water he added turned into boiling water in such a short time?
Zhu Tianqi opened another bowl of instant noodles and said, "You have to pour hot water into this noodle and soak it for half a quarter of an hour before you can eat it!"

Naturally, the soldiers below couldn't be as proficient as him, so there were many who couldn't boil the self-heating pot after tossing for a long time, and there were also some who gnawed directly with dough biscuits.

And those who are very talented and succeed in the operation in the first time can't help but excitedly teach their experience to the comrades around them!
In addition to the food, the wine Zhu Tianqi bought for them was also unacceptable for a while. Needless to say, the beer would definitely taste weird when you drink it for the first time. As for liquor, how could the wine in the Ming Dynasty be so high? The degree was high, so as soon as everyone drank a big bowl, they were so spicy that their eyes filled with tears, and they shouted: "Good wine! Good wine!"

At the beginning, the camp was full of canned ham, peanuts and other things that were ready to eat out of the bag. After the tens of thousands of bowls of instant noodles and self-heating pots were prepared, the aroma was simply delicious!

Zhang Boyu and his gunners outside the camp were almost crying with greed. They had never smelled such a fragrance. They all swallowed their saliva while secretly guessing what good food was being eaten in the camp!

This is understandable. Things like instant noodles have such magic power. Even modern people who eat instant noodles to the point of vomiting still can't hold back when they smell the aroma of instant noodles in a hungry state!
It was only then that Zhu Tianqi saw more than a thousand cavalry gunners outside the camp, and then he gave the order: "Hey, why did I forget the soldiers outside? The soldiers outside also saved us, open it quickly. Village gate, call the soldiers in!" Hearing the emperor asking them to come in, Zhang Boyu wondered if he heard it wrong. After all, although it was true that they came to rescue him and had merit, what were their identities and who were the people in the camp? No matter what their status is, they are all members of the Royal Forest Army. Can they be the same?

However, it was a great joy to be summoned by the emperor. Zhang Boyu thought that he was lucky. He immediately dismounted, led his soldiers into the camp, and kowtowed to the emperor: "I humble Zhang Boyu to join the emperor. Your Majesty." Long live!"

Zhu Tianqi looked at Zhang Boyu and the thousand soldiers behind him with admiration, smiled and nodded and praised: "Zhang Boyu, I know you. Sun Yuanhua mentioned you to me. You and these soldiers under you are all good." !”

"Your Majesty is so complimentary, I am so scared for my humble position!" Although Zhang Boyu spoke humbly, he was filled with ecstasy in his heart. It seemed that his loyalty to Lord Sun was not in vain. Lord Sun was also thinking of him. Now that he can be appreciated by the Emperor, it is natural. The future is boundless!

Zhu Tianqi laughed, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can find a place to sit by yourselves, eat and drink as much as you like, you have enough wine and food!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Boyu thanked him immediately, and then he and the soldiers found an empty place and sat on the ground. Then the Jin Yiwei brought them more than a dozen boxes of food and wine.

Although the Royal Forest Army has a high status and has always looked down on ordinary troops, Zhang Boyu's group had just been appreciated by the emperor after all, and they did not dare to look down upon them, so they all took the initiative to mingle with them.

There were cheers and laughter in Zhu Tianqi's camp, but there were sighs and sighs in Huang Taiji's camp.

After Daishan withdrew his troops with Hauge, he joined Huang Taiji. Then Huang Taiji led his army to defeat the armies of You Shiwei and Hou Shilu, turned westward, captured a village, and stationed the army here.

The army had been fighting for a whole day, and their physical strength had reached its limit. However, the village was too poor to find anything at all, and most of the people in the village had fled long ago when they heard that there was a war going on nearby. Huang Taiji and his Eight Banners Army could only take out dry food to eat hard.

To say that Huang Taiji's only gain this day is that they disabled You Shiwei and Hou Shilu's troops, and the [-] Ming army died and injured no less than [-].

After their defeat, You Shiwei and Hou Shilu did not dare to return to Yutian and Fengrun. At the same time, in order to prevent Jiannu from attacking the emperor's camp again, they withdrew their army to the side of Zhu Tianqi's camp and stationed themselves on the spot, while the two of them personally Go to Zhu Tianqi's camp to apologize!

Although in today's battle, You Shiwei and Hou Shilu's performance was a little hip, but Zhu Tianqi did not blame them. After all, Zhu Tianqi also knew that this matter could not be entirely blamed on them. The slave's Eight Banners Army is much weaker, so it's normal that it can't be defeated!

Therefore, Zhu Tianqi did not blame them, he just said to let them go back for the time being and wait until tomorrow to make up for their mistakes!

Although You Shiwei and Hou Shilu were relieved by the emperor's forgiveness, they were tortured after being hungry for a day and surrounded by the aroma of instant noodles.

After leaving Zhu Tianqi's camp, You Shiwei and Hou Shilu couldn't help but swallow their saliva. However, they had lost the battle and did not dare to ask for more to satisfy their appetites. They had better go back and eat dry food obediently!
Mangui and Zu Dashou actually did not chase Huang Taiji's large army. When they were halfway through the pursuit, they heard the news that the emperor's camp was besieged by Jiannu, so they had already turned south. The rescuers came to relieve the siege, but by the time they felt it, Jiannu had already withdrawn his troops.

Now Mangui and Zu Dashou stationed their troops at Sun Yuanhua's artillery battalion to defend the emperor's camp from the front.

It was precisely because of this that Huang Taiji and his Eight Banners Army were able to escape.

At this time, Huang Taiji was holding an oil lamp in one hand and looking at the map. His current location was about fifty or sixty miles due south of Zunhua City. After today's day of fighting, he had broken out of the Ming army's siege. Well, if we continue to advance westward, we can go straight to Jizhou, then Sanhe, Tongzhou, and then we can go straight to the capital of the Ming Dynasty!
But after experiencing continuous sieges and ambushes by the Ming army in the past two days, Huang Taiji had to consider whether he would encounter more Ming troops if he went west!
Daishan has been in a mood since he came back. In his opinion, if Huang Taiji didn't let Hauge urge him to withdraw his troops, or if Hauge could help him, he might have captured the Ming Emperor alive by now. The big thing has been done, so why hide in such a place and eat dry food?
Huang Taiji didn't believe what Daishan said, because he didn't think that the Ming Emperor was willing to personally drive and conquer, let alone come so close to the front line, so he thought that either there was someone else in the camp, or he was The bait deliberately set by the Ming army.

I don’t believe it, but I don’t believe it at all. Didn’t the Tumu Fort incident actually happen?The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was young and energetic, so he might do stupid things like that of Tumubao, and risk his own life by engaging in personal conquests.

Therefore, when Huang Taiji hesitated to continue to advance westward and capture Jizhou, he still called Hauge in first and asked: "Hauge, when you went to find Daishan, did you look at the Qingming military camp? Case?"

Hauge immediately nodded and replied: "Back to Ama, the child can clearly see that the defenders in the camp are all imperial guards, and behind the handsome tent in the camp are the dragon flags of the Ming Emperor and the Emperor's Festival Yue!"

Huang Taiji frowned slightly, staring at Hauge and asked: "From what you mean, do you also think that the handsome tent in that camp is really the Emperor of Ming?"
