Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Plans are always inferior to changes. On the second day, according to Su Mu's prediction, Emperor Zhengde would personally lead the army out of the camp early in the morning to fight the little prince.

At that time, he can calmly take Mei Niang and others to leave the camp and go directly to Huai'anwei.

But early in the morning of the second day, it was full of fog.

It's been a while since spring began, the earth's atmosphere has slowed down, and the snow on the ground has melted.As a result of the high evaporation, the air becomes humid and foggy days naturally appear.

This kind of weather is naturally not suitable for large armies to fight. The means of communication in ancient wars are backward, and the command of the coach is completely dependent on the flag and the golden drum.

More than [-] people from both sides gathered in a defensive area with a radius of only a few tens of miles. When encountering such a thick fog, everyone froze and killed into a group, and it was not a mess.

Therefore, although everyone got up early in the morning to prepare, they all stood quietly outside the tent, waiting for the fog to clear and the order to attack.

Su Mu got up like everyone else and walked to the Chinese army camp.

I saw that Emperor Zhengde was already standing outside the palace, and he was wearing a thick iron armor.

The mist filled the air, and dewdrops formed on his body. At first glance, his whole body was shining with crystal light.

Seeing Su Mu, Zhengde turned around: "Aiqing, you are here too."

"Yes, Your Majesty, come and have a look."

"The fog is very heavy, and it is estimated that it will not dissipate until noon."

"Indeed." Seeing that this unprecedented battle was about to begin, Su Mu suddenly felt an unspeakable excitement in his heart.At this moment, he didn't know what to say.

However, after thinking about it, although this battle was half a day later than the expected plan, it didn't affect me to meet up with Xie Ziran.

But there is still a trace of regret in my heart. A national war of this unprecedented scale may only happen once in a lifetime.As far as Su Mu knew, after the Great War in Yingzhou, the little Tatar prince suffered an unprecedented defeat, and his troops were completely lost.For the rest of his life, he was powerless to invade the Ming Dynasty.The name of the little prince has since withdrawn from the stage of history.

Zhengde: "It has been fifty-six years since we came to Tumubao. In that war, our Ming Dynasty lost its troops and lost its territory, and even Emperor Yingzong was captured by the Tatars. This is a great shame for our Ming Dynasty. Since I ascended the throne, I have , All day long, I don’t want to be the emperor of the ancestors, and send the army to the Northern Expedition, to avenge the shame. Now, the two generations of emperors Xianzong and Xiaozong have tried their best, and my Ming Dynasty has finally restored its former national strength. Now, it is time to fight the enemy. "

Probably because he was too excited. At the beginning, Emperor Zhengde's voice was still a little trembling.But after speaking, the voice finally became steady and sonorous, showing great confidence: "I have planned this battle for a long time, and everything is as expected. This battle, I wanted to fight when I was a child, and today I finally waited for it." .I must win!"

"Your Majesty will definitely win." Su Mu nodded affirmatively.

Beside Emperor Zhengde, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yong and others were also in full armor, trembling with excitement.

"Mist, why don't you disperse?" Zhengde sighed softly.

Maybe it's the induction between heaven and man, or it may be other reasons.

As soon as Zhengde's exclamation fell, a gust of wind blew, and the flag, which was still damp and drooping before, suddenly opened with a "hoo".

Then came the other side, the third side, and the hundredth side.

In a blink of an eye, the camp was filled with the sound of hula flags flying.

The milky white mist dissipated immediately, but in front of my eyes was a sea of ​​flying flags, a sea of ​​red.

The figures of the soldiers became clearer. The sun rose high at the beginning of the day, and the golden sun shone down, shining on the iron armor and the dewdrops, and the eyes were full of light that people couldn't look at.

"The wind is blowing!"

"The wind is blowing!"

The shouts of soldiers are all over the world.

Zhengde closed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to caress the violent northern wind, and muttered in his mouth: "The wind is rising! Come out!",

"Boom, boom, boom!" Three cannons rang out.

The gate was wide open, and first a long cavalry team rushed out of the old camp with a thunderous roar, and formed two square formations in the distance, guarding the two wings of the main force of the infantry.

Then, a torrent of armored infantry drove out.

This is the moment of the decisive battle. The so-called decisive battle is a gamble.

Bet on the fate of the country and nation.

If the Ming army was defeated in this battle, the six main towns on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty would be completely wiped out by the Tatars. It can be said that the northern frontier defense has been corrupted since then.The most terrible fact is that the morale of the people will drop to the bottom.From then on, the Ming Dynasty no longer had the energy and strength to use troops against the north.From then on, the northern grassland peoples could go south to plunder at any time, as long as they were happy, and the Ming Dynasty no longer had any force to resist.If it doesn't work, it will be another messy situation.

But if he wins, the little prince's main force will be wiped out.

Since then, there has been no established military force on the northern grasslands.

The northern border troubles will no longer exist, at least for the next 30 years.

With no enemies stalking it, the Ming Dynasty could rest and recuperate calmly, reduce astronomical defense expenditures, and recreate a prosperous China within reach.

In this battle, victory is not allowed to be defeated.

After gritting their teeth and defending for two days, the Ming army took the initiative to attack today.

The planned battlefield is selected fourteen miles ahead. At the same time, Emperor Zhengde and Su Mu have also received the military report last night, and the other five towns have arrived. Join the battle.

It is about nine o'clock in the morning of modern Beijing time, which means that before that, Emperor Zhengde would have to fight alone for four hours.

As one of the nine borders, Datong Town has a large number of troops, and it took nearly an hour for the army to leave.

At the same time, there was a report from a horse scout, and the Tatars in the distance also knew the news of the Ming army's attack at the first time, and they also drove out the troops.

After Zhengde left the camp with his soldiers and horses, and slowly and cautiously advanced towards the distance, Su Mu let out a long breath.

Now, it's time to leave.

This battle is simply a replica of the Yingzhou War in real history.But in this era, the power of the little prince is not as strong as in the real history. In this time and space, this is the third time that the Tatars have invaded.Haven't grabbed enough resources to grow your strength.

Therefore, Emperor Zhengde should have won this battle cleanly as expected.

As the initiator and planner of this military plan, Su Mu's historical mission has been completed.As a modern person, as a scribe, it is not his duty to go into battle and kill the enemy.Even if he went to the battlefield with Emperor Zhengde in front of him, he would not get any merit.

His goal is Huai Anwei in the Xuan Mansion.

Turning around, he was about to go back to his residence, but Su Mu saw Qian Ning's bright eyes.

As the commander of Jinyi's pro-army, Qian Ning was supposed to be by Zhengde's side.It's a pity that he was shot in the right arm by the little prince the day before yesterday, and Zhengde kindly allowed him to stay in the base camp to recuperate.

From the beginning to the end, Qian Ning never took his eyes off Su Mu.

Su Mu suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
