Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 154 No matter what, I want to take action!

Zhu Tuo groaned and put a dagger against his throat: "I'll give you three numbers. If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"

"hateful."

Zhu Tuo's eyes narrowed.

"Dear Prince Su, I don't know this man, but he is a Han. He went to the Mongolian camp and begged General Guilichi to send troops to kill you. General Guilichi thought about this matter and thought There are gains and losses in this matter, so I agreed.”

Seeing that Doleba didn't seem to be lying, Zhu Tuoyin nodded solemnly.

Cheng Shoude couldn't hide his excitement and couldn't help but admired: "Your Majesty, this battle is really a complete victory. Not only did we defeat the few with fewer troops, but we also killed thousands of Mongolian witches and captured more than [-]. If this happened, If you report it to the imperial court, you will definitely be heavily rewarded."

"You think I care about those rewards?"

Zhu Tuo shouted coldly and asked again: "What's the loss?"

Cheng Shoude's face was serious, he sighed, and said: "We also lost a lot of people, more than 130 Jinyiwei, more than 40 people were injured, and I also lost more than 80 people."

After Zhu Tuo heard Cheng Shoude's report, his expression also became serious: "These are the heroes of my Ming Dynasty, these sacrificed soldiers should be buried properly, remember their names, and when I return to the capital, I will definitely take good care of their relatives. As for the wounded, they must be treated."

Cheng Shoude immediately said: "Yes."

Zhu Tuo sighed: "This battle was fierce, we won, but we also lost a lot of people.
Cheng Shoude also nodded in agreement, and said: "That's right. Fortunately, there is a prince in command who dares to charge into the enemy's ranks. With a prince like this, the soldiers are like taking stimulants. It is howling and screaming, moving forward inexorably."

Zhu Tuo waved his hand and said, "Get ready and continue on your way tomorrow."

Hearing this, Cheng Shoude's face flashed with doubts, but he still said: "My lord, the generals in Dingbian County are very wary of you now. If you go alone, there will be a great risk. I suggest that you go back immediately." At the court, mobilize a group of elites to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop!"

Zhu Tuo Leng scolded: "What are you afraid of? I am a prince, and I still hold the sword given by the emperor in my hand. What can they do to me?"

Cheng Shoude quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is for your sake.
"It's okay, I'll come!"

Zhu Tuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Just a few ants.

Zhu Tuo knew that at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was proud of garrisoning troops.

It means building cities one after another and military towns one after another.

The disadvantages of the family raising soldiers reduced the burden on the government for the Ming Dynasty, and also reduced the taxes of the people.

However, there are huge problems with this system.

The garrison system allows the army and towns to perform their own duties, and the army cannot be mobilized in war.

Even if they can mobilize the army, their strength is too weak.

Even in the late Ming Dynasty, there were many corrupt officials in the military towns. The soldiers originally wanted to farm, but the land was annexed on a large scale, making it difficult for lower-level soldiers to even eat, let alone to withstand more and more training.

There is no other way but to escape.

The military town station falsely reported its own number to ensure its own safety. This resulted in that in the later stages, the soldiers were very weak, and even the court was unable to mobilize local soldiers.

This is a huge problem that has almost destroyed the entire country.

Take the late Ming Dynasty as an example. A small "breakthrough" can cause an uproar in the Ming Dynasty.

A Manchu, leading an army of tens of thousands, marched north from Shanhaiguan and razed the entire China to the ground.In a "foolish" way, the strongest race was dragged into the darkness of eternal destruction.

Although such a thing has not happened yet, Zhu Tuo still doesn't want to see it.

It is inevitable to strengthen the people.

What's more, he overturned his father's rule. Isn't this a natural thing?
Cheng Shoude's face darkened and he said: "Your Majesty, you must be careful. They have troops in their hands, so they may not care about your status."

"I understand!"

Dingbian County is located on the border of Shanxi and Mongolia. It was a fortress for the Ming Dynasty to defend Mongolia. Its strategic position is extremely critical.

Li Su of Jin had to personally take charge every time the Mongols came to attack Dingbian County.

Of course, the last general was the general of Jin and the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border.

The military towns of the Ming Dynasty have become extremely docile because of the presence of blue jade, and the Mongolian monsters will not easily invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Dingbian County is a county, it faces the threat of the Mongols due to its dangerous terrain. Coupled with Tai's base camp, the city walls are extremely strong.

The city wall is four feet high and reinforced with loess. There are more than ten sentry towers on it. On the outside are two huge urns and a ten-foot-long trench to resist the invasion of the Mongols.

The strong wind roared, blowing away the dust all over the sky, and the majestic city wall was like a guardian guarding the border.

Zhu Tuo and his party, in the early morning of the third day after Zhu Tuo was attacked, the peace of Dingbian County was destroyed.

It is no longer a secret that Cheng Shoude went to Yulin to meet Wang Zhutuo. Zhu Tuo and his party had been waiting in Dingbian County for a long time.

However, when Zhu Tuo arrived with his troops, the generals in Dingbian County were a little nervous.

"Open the door. I am Prince Damingsu, Commander Cheng Shoude. Open the city quickly!"

As soon as Cheng Shoude arrived outside Dingbian County, he immediately revealed his identity, and then shouted questions to the soldier stationed at the top of the city.

Cheng Shoude's identity was confirmed, and the guards immediately reported to Li Su. After receiving the news, Li Su seemed a little nervous, even a little scared, and completely lost his usual demeanor.

He never expected that Zhu Tuo could survive being attacked by a Mongolian witch.

How could this be?
What about the ferocity of the Mongolian witches?Why can't you kill a little King Su?

"Don't worry, my lord. King Su has only a hundred soldiers and horses. Even if he enters the city, there will be no big waves." Li Su's confidant Dong Chang has a handsome face, a tall figure, and a hale and hearty spirit. confidence.

Although Li Su was the chief lieutenant of Jin, Dong Chang took care of all his affairs.Therefore, in private, there were rumors that Dong Chang was a real military and political figure in Jin.

Li Su grabbed his shoulder and said nervously: "Do you think he would know that we attacked him?"

"What if I find it?"

Dong Chang didn't care, and said coldly: "If he is obedient, we will let him be our lucky star. If he insists on making trouble, we will help him and let him be as invisible as Jin Wang Zhu Tong." disappeared without a trace."

"Killing two princes in one breath is truly a grave sin."

"Don't worry, as long as our army is strong enough, Ming Dynasty will not be able to do anything to us. What's more, the Mongols are also doing business with us."

"But……"

"Stop talking, sir. If you want to see King Su, you must be calm. Even if King Su is true, you must be obedient when you arrive in Dingbian County."

"understood."

Li Su quickly called all the generals from Dingbian County over, and together they went out of the city gate to see Zhu Tuo.

Zhu Tuo sat on a tall horse with a hint of pride on his face. He glanced at the generals in front and nodded slightly: "Everyone, please sit down. I have been ordered by my father to come to Jin to investigate the death of my third brother. , you should all already know."
