Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 384 Things Get Worse

Jiao Lian also froze in place, looking at the muzzle of the gun that was still emitting black smoke in Mao Wenlong's hand, without saying a word.

Zhu Guozheng felt even more unbelievable, he didn't expect that Mao Wenlong would do something that made people feel refreshed!
Mao Wenlong, who was at the General Military Mansion with a happy face at the beginning and received the Cossack cavalry leader Batroskif, and patiently endured Batroskif's humiliation, now shot the Cossack cavalry representative to death on the spot!
Even Mao Wenlong himself can't believe that things will develop to this point, but if most of the Ming people who have migrated and settled here are to be united and united, this is the only way to do it!
The Cossack cavalry was powerful, but it was just a powerful cavalry. If the common people were chilled, Daming would not be able to gain a foothold here in the future.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong had no choice but to shoot this beast who tried to trample on the dignity of the people of Ming Dynasty!

Batroskif fell directly to the ground, his bloody head hit the ground heavily, his eyes were wide open, maybe before he died, he didn't understand how he, a dignified nobleman of the Rakshasa Kingdom, was so easily raped. kill.

Jiao Lian also walked towards several of Batloskiv's subordinates, drew out his knife without using a gun, and ended the lives of these subordinates as quickly as possible.

The whole process was very fast, but in everyone's eyes, it seemed that in an instant, the whole world changed.

"Throw it into the mass grave, clean up the streets, and command envoys and officials above the command to come to the General Military Mansion immediately!"

After Mao Wenlong finished speaking, he got on his horse first, slammed his whip and went back to his general military mansion.

The common people were very excited and very excited. To see their parents and officials decide for themselves and shoot this evil long-haired ghost directly, for them, it was more exciting and inspiring than watching a play.

But for officials at all levels who are familiar with the current war situation in the general environment, this is not a good thing, but an extremely bad big bad thing!
Even Zhu Guozheng and Jiao Lian, who both hated and hated long-haired ghosts, didn't show any excitement on their faces at this moment.

They all know that the center of gravity of the imperial court is now in the south. Apart from the necessary strategic passes and heavy defenses to prevent the establishment of slaves, almost all the elite mobile forces are concentrated in the south, and even the strategic resources are allocated to the south first. In response to the extermination of Zheng Zhilong, even important military figures like Lu Xiangsheng were transferred from Liaodong to Nanjing.

Therefore, for the officers and soldiers of Temple Street who are at the northernmost point and are close to the Jianshou forces, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to resist the attack of the Cossack cavalry without strong backup support. Even if it is not done well, it will fall into a situation of being attacked by two sides, otherwise it will not be humbled to negotiate with these barbarian Cossack cavalry.

However, Mao Wenlong, as the commander-in-chief, chose to shoot these Cossacks who dared to offend the people of Ming Dynasty when his people of Ming Dynasty were humiliated again. This is undoubtedly an act that made things worse
Originally, because the Ming army and the Cossack cavalry came here for the purpose of expansion, there was a contradiction in territorial contention, but now they directly killed the representatives of the nobles, which undoubtedly exacerbated this contradiction, making the possibility of peace talks no longer possible. In the future, it will be difficult to make the already cruel and brutal Cossack cavalry willing to put down their swords and guns and make peace with themselves.

Rao Mao Wenlong himself knew that his actions violated the will of the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and exacerbated the changes in the situation, and would even lead to the deterioration of the situation.

But Mao Wenlong also believed that what he did was right. He even thought that doing so would really intensify the conflict between his Ming army and the Cossack cavalry, but at least it would allow the Cossack cavalry to restrain themselves when facing their Ming army. Realizing that his side is not afraid of his Cossack cavalry, he is willing to make peace with him, and the peace talks are at least to avoid more unnecessary casualties on both sides.

But Mao Wenlong did not dare to confirm what His Majesty Zhu Youxiao thought. Since the Yuan Chonghuan incident, Mao Wenlong had also become more cautious, especially feeling inexplicably afraid of his superiors and His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, so he was very worried about His Majesty Zhu Youxiao. Will the school punish itself for this.

Mao Wenlong finally found Li Changfeng, the governor, and asked him if he would suspend the report that he rashly shot the Cossack Batroskiv and his subordinates, and directly told Li Changfeng, the governor, to write a letter to himself.

Li Changfeng, the governor, is considered a very considerate person, but he can also be stern and selfless in character, so he is unwilling to delay time and make lies for Mao Wenlong.

Seeing that Li Changfeng refused to agree, Mao Wenlong had no choice but to give up. While the governor Li Changfeng reported the truth, he also made a promise, that is, he promised to fight the Cossack cavalry once as much as possible in the next time, so that he had to personally fight against the Cossack cavalry. Come to us for peace.

……

But in fact, before Li Changfeng and his memorandum arrived, Zhu Youxiao had already learned about the incident and the reason from Jin Yiwei in advance.

After Zhu Youxiao found out, he was not angry because of this, but was very happy: "It's no wonder that it's Mao Wenlong. I have that guy Gu Sanmazi in the south of Ming Dynasty. The future of the north is this Marshal Mao Wenlong."

Although he is sure that Mao Wenlong would rather make the situation more complicated than teach this group of ignorant people a lesson, but Zhu Youxiao also knows that doing so will only exacerbate bilateral conflicts, and even give Jiannu an opportunity to take advantage of. .

Fortunately, at this time, Jiannu, who is still in the farthest field of vision and wants to conquer Daming, has no such long-term plans. For them, who are separated by the Greater Khingan Mountains and the Outer Khingan Mountains, they don't know that there is an extremely beneficial Break the chance of being encircled.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had to immediately instruct Mao Wenlong to fight a beautiful battle against the Cossack cavalry as soon as possible, and it must be won, and thus prompted the Cossack cavalry to ask him for peace.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know whether Mao Wenlong could do this, but as the emperor, Zhu Youxiao had to prepare for the worst, that is, after being provoked by the Cossack cavalry, it was very likely that the entire Ming Dynasty would be lost. In the vast land north of the Outer Xing'an Mountains, Zhu Youxiao had to order the North Sea Fleet to temporarily withdraw half of its troops and return to Liaodong to replenish supplies and then go to Temple Street by sea to give enough to Mao Wenlong and other Ming troops who were standing in this area. logistical support.

Mao Wenlong himself is also preparing for the worst. Before the fact that he shot the Cossack nobleman Batroskiv has not fully spread to the ears of the Cossack cavalry, will he give up all the newly occupied and newly built cities?

Therefore, Mao Wenlong also had to shrink his strength again, and directly announced that he would temporarily abandon the market towns with less than a thousand people, concentrate his limited troops and firepower on the two important towns of Temple Street and Longshanwei, and look for opportunities to give these defiant Cossack cavalry Take the worst lesson.

However, in this way, since the representative of the Massak nobles was killed, the Cossack cavalry was also confused to a certain extent, and this just gave Mao Wenlong a chance to send cavalry to attack the Cossack cavalry.
