I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 350
Under Chengtian's sect, Li Tian received news that Zhang Yiliang had been rescued, and ran to the gate of the city to greet him regardless of the wind and snow.

Before Zhang Yiliang saw Li Tian, ​​he was still twisting and yelling,
"Liu Gang, you thief, I won't be fooled by you again, you can't fool me."

Suddenly, he felt the person who was pulling him let go of his hand. Just when he was a little at a loss, he heard people around him shouting, "Meet Your Majesty!"

He slowly took off the hood covering his head in a daze, and a person in front of him was standing there smiling at him.

When seeing this person, Zhang Yiliang's legs suddenly softened, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop, wanting to confide in endless grievances and bitterness in his heart.

But when it came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say, and finally just a few words popped out of his mouth,

"Your Majesty...the minister...the minister is guilty!"

After speaking, he covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.

Li Tian personally stepped forward to help him up, and comforted him,

"Zhang Shangshu was kidnapped by thieves. I don't know why. I can understand it. You should go and have a good rest. If you have anything to say, it will not be too late tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, let someone help him rush all the way to the imperial hospital, and let the imperial doctors diagnose and treat him.

Then he lowered his head and saw that there was no trace of Liu Baohe among the people who came back, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked,

"Headmaster Liu, why didn't he come back with you?"

The leader of the second group, with red eyes, said in a low voice,
"Don't dare to hide your Majesty, it's our lord, let us take the first step to send Master Zhang back safely, and your lord will lead the others to stay behind to stop the enemy. The villain can't predict what the current situation will be."

Li Tian asked him about the specific situation at that time.

When he learned that Liu Bao and them had only one more person than the other party, his scalp went numb and he almost roared angrily.

"Liu Baohe, Liu Baohe, do you really know what firepower superiority is? Sometimes even if you have one more gun or one more shooting position, the solution may be different.

You are actually dividing your troops at this time, aren't you looking for death for yourself! "

But now is not the time to blame Liu Baohe, Li Tian hastily ordered.

"It is my oral order that Habayashi Zuowei immediately mobilize 200 people to follow them to support Liu Baohe and others, without delay!"

After finishing speaking, he was still not at ease, and said to Jiang Bao, whose injuries were mostly healed by his side,
"Jiang Bao, Liu Gang and others are cunning and deceitful. I am afraid that the Habayashi Guards will not be able to surround and kill them. You can also bring a few people to follow. Except for Liu Gang, everyone else will be killed on the spot..."

Jiang Bao's complexion sank, and he quickly said,

"Obey, this old servant is leaving now!"

The Habayashi Guards are actually the imperial guards, but they are different from the garrison troops guarding the capital like the Longxiang Four Guards. The imperial guards are directly under the jurisdiction of Ouchi.

After the rise of Jinyiwei, the security of the imperial city was basically jointly managed by the Imperial Army and Jinyiwei.

But some time ago, after Li Tiancai canceled the reduction of the number of Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei basically withdrew from the duty of guarding the palace.

There are about 2000 people in the Habayashi Guard, divided into two shifts, who take turns stationing and patrolling the palace.

Habayashi guards are different from Ouchi guards.

The former is a professional soldier, an elite composition selected from the hundreds of thousands of imperial guards in the capital.

But Ouchi guards are generally composed of the royal family and noble children.

In the early Ming Dynasty, whether it was Habayashi Guard or Ouchi Guard, they still had some combat effectiveness.

But in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, almost all of these guys became embroidered pillows.

The Habayashi Guards are equipped with the most gorgeous and expensive armor and weapons of the Ming Dynasty, but most of the time, they are only used as the emperor's reliance, similar to the original Jin Yiwei's duties.

There are very few situations where you are confronted with danger.

It's not that the emperors of all dynasties liked to play with these fancy things.

It is inevitable that Yubayashiwei and Jinyiwei will become guards of honor.

What they are guarding is the core of the entire empire, the most important place in the world.

Unless the enemy has reached the gate in this kind of place, they have no chance to go to the battlefield at all.

And in a whole dynasty, except for the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that they can count on one finger how many times they have been beaten to the door.

There has never been a fighting chance, and Habayashi has become an embroidered pillow, and the appearance is actually an inevitable trend.

But the Habayashi guard at this time was not what he looked like in the late Ming Dynasty.

Whether it is the Longxiang Four Guards or the Left and Right Forbidden Army, they have basically followed Zhu Di on expeditions, and they basically have some combat effectiveness.

Following Li Tian's order, more than two hundred cavalry rode vigorously and rushed towards the battlefield dozens of miles away.

Li Tian looked at the leaving team, but did not go back, but waited under the Chengtian gate against the wind and snow.

Wang Fu anxiously kept pacing beside him.

After persuading Li Tian several times, Li Tian was unwilling to leave.

"Your Majesty, you should hurry back to the palace. If the heavy snow falls and you are frostbitten, the Empress will blame this old slave!"

Li Tian was unmoved.

In fact, in Li Tian's opinion, neither Zhang Yiliang nor Liu Gang is as important as Liu Baohe.

They are all replaceable characters, and there are many people in the court who are more capable or even better than them.

But Liu Baohe is the only one.

Talents who are born with a high tacit understanding of muskets and are proficient in how to make muskets are hard to find even with lanterns.

He regretted it a little now, and entrusted him with such a dangerous task of encircling and suppressing Liu Gang and others.

But it was too late to regret it. According to the calculation of time, they should have confronted Liu Gang and others head-on.

As for the result, even Li Tian, ​​who had always had absolute confidence in himself, did not dare to give any judgment at this time.

He even began to pray that those gods and Buddhas in the sky would bless Liu Baohe and others to return safely.

Seeing that Li Tian seemed to be determined not to wait until he was born, he didn't plan to go back.

Wang Fu had no choice but to order someone to get two small stoves to keep Li Tian warm.

These two small stoves are the finished products of the briquette machine and the matching stove designed by Li Tianrang Tiangong Institute some time ago.

The two small stoves are more than 20 centimeters high and about ten centimeters in diameter, with ears on each side for easy grabbing, and a cover with ventilation holes on them.

Below is a grate-like thing that filters soot and breathes.

The top and bottom are transparent, so that the flame in the stove burns more vigorously.

Looking up at the university in the sky, and looking down at the small stove emitting orange flames, Li Tian couldn't help sighing,

"Did the first winter after coming to Daming come quietly like this!"
