Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

“This…is the relationship between Duke of Zhongdan and his fourth brother really so good?” Zhu Qizhen asked tentatively, unable to make a decision right away.

“The minister did understand. Yang Yang, the fourth brother of Duke of Zhongdan, is the only one who returned to his ancestral home with Duke of Zhongdan this time. If the relationship is not good, I am afraid that I will not travel with him. Qichen also heard that Yang Yang originally wanted to be with Duke of Zhongdan and was approved, but for some reason he was eventually stayed. It must be for the sake of safety. That’s it, it’s OK. It proves that the relationship between their brothers is really good.”

“Is there such a thing?” Zhu Qizhen sat high, staring at Liu De fiercely during his expressions.

If he said just now whether it was Liu De’s casual suggestion, but now listening to the other party has such an in-depth investigation on this matter, then only fools would think that all this was an accident Believe it. There is only one answer, Liu De had already thought of this.

As soon as he thought of the various problems between Liu De and Yang Chendong before, Zhu Qizhen knew in his heart that this was simply Liu De who wanted to use his own hands to prevent Yang Chendong from growing.

The courtiers often play some battles and crafty plots and machinations. As His Imperial Majesty, many things are naturally well known. But sometimes he will stop or even expose it, but sometimes it will be the same when nothing happened. The decision made by His Imperial Majesty depends on whether the purpose of the battle between the courtiers is beneficial to the imperial power.

Liu De’s careful thinking Zhu Qizhen sees through it, but not at all means it’s broken. Yang Chendong’s growth is also something he doesn’t want to see. Now that Liu De’s attitude and goals are consistent with his own, then why not go with it.

After I figured it out, Zhu Qizhen was nodded, “Liu Minister said it is very true, that is, I sent Embroidered Uniform Guard to Jianing Residence to invite the Yang Yang to the capital. After the matter is completed, I will issue a decree to the Duke of Zhongdan. Vietnam is also one of the vassal countries of my Great Ming. It is one of Taizu’s orders not to conquer the country, that is, they are willing to go to Annan by themselves. Returning to my Great Ming’s embrace, in the heart of forgiveness, courtesy should be accepted.”

Zhu Qizhen finally made up his mind. While Liu De breathed a sigh of relief, he did have new worries. After this is done, once the news spreads, I am afraid that the other party will hate myself to the bone. Unless Yang Chendong is to be suppressed by Great Ming in the future, otherwise, once the momentum arises, it may be time for his bad luck.

As for whether the news will go out, shortly after Liu De walked out of the Imperial Palace, in Zhu Qizhen’s indication, the big companion, the Court Eunuch manager, Cao Jixiang, told the news. Get out. So that Liu De had just returned to Fuhu, and the people below told him the news that had just come from the palace, which made him almost spit out old blood.

His face was very ugly, looking towards the direction of the Imperial Palace, Liu De couldn’t help but scolded in his heart, “His Imperial Majesty, His Imperial Majesty, even if it’s abandon one’s benefactor after achieving one’s goal, there is no You are so fast. It seems that in the future there will be no Yang Chendong, Yang Chendong and no Yang Chendong.”

……

Nanjing city, how to Matters dealing with Vietnam are still being discussed slowly, and related matters are also slowly going on. Before Hanoi City, the capital of Vietnam, there was already a raging war.

Flags are fluttering, drums of war are thundering, army of black pressure is placed under the city, solemn killing aura swept across Heaven and Earth, so that the brave people can’t help feeling a double tremor .

At the moment of dawn, in front of Hanoi City East City Gate, the two armies set up their battles on this vast land.

Commercial gray armor, a dozen or so phalanxes of 20,000 Vietnam troops are standing by.

The square formation, the flags flying high, standing horizontally in the square formation, is even more spectacular and majestic.

On the other side, two thousand eight hundred mercenaries in camouflage uniforms lined up in double rows in a long snake formation. Advanced muskets and steel knives showed up, showing a cold-murderous pattern. qi.

The difference is that mercenaries do not at all put on any flag, which is also what Yang Chendong means. Before confirming his status, he did not intend to let these mercenaries under him play a red flag.

Because there is no flag flying, the nearly three thousand mercenaries from a distance look like a big green snake dormant there, moving and quiet, making people afraid to give birth to anything The underestimate comes.

Only from the comparison of numbers, the imposing manner of the Vietnam Army is more majestic, not to mention that twenty large catapults have long been erected behind the army. This vehicle can throw nearly a hundred catties of boulders in mid-air, and the farthest range can reach more than 500 metres. It can be called the farthest cold weapon at the time.

Behind him is a catapult capable of attacking from a distance, and there is a thousand-person iron shield phalanx at the forefront of the team, which blocks the opponent’s firearms. With enough preparation, Nguyen Genh Wanh, the leader of the army, looked confident.

The horns of battle have been blown, Nguyen Genh Wanh not at all gave orders to attack, but first turned his head and looked up at the Hanoi City building, when he saw Crown Prince Le Thai Tong and the others standing When he looked up and down, he even felt the blood flowing throughout his body. Excited, he pulled out the saber from his waist, pointed forward, and shouted loudly: “Go!”

“Go in!”

The iron shield at the front The phalanx of thousands of people quickly changed the formation, from the original square to a horizontal line, and quickly formed a giant dragon, walking at the forefront of the team.

Ordinary shields are made of wood on the inside and iron on the outside. The cold weapon era can defend bows and arrows but cannot defend against bullets. Pure iron shields can defend against long-range bullets, but the shortcomings are very serious. Even if it is lifted for a short time, it will consume a lot of strength, and it is bound to be very inflexible and difficult to follow the march.

Just knowing these shortcomings and advantages, Nguyen Genh Wanh had to rely on it. He didn’t point to using these iron shields to attack. He only needed it to protect the soldiers under his hands from moving forward. When he reached the range where the attack could begin, he didn’t believe it. The 20,000 army immediately pressed on. How many people can the musket kill?

Under the order of Nguyen Genh Wanh, a thousand iron shields were in front and slowly moved forward. The other nearly 20,000 Vietnam troops all hid behind them, and several square formations were integrated. , Come forward slowly.

“Go in! Go in! Go in!”

Every time the army advances one step, there are earth-shaking shouts, which are quite impressive Kind of shock.

“Mother, it looks like this is a good soldier.” The company commander who had already led the first attack, watched the enemy three miles away start slowly advancing towards him, couldn’t help but snorted.

You are proud to be a Cold Front person. To be one of the company commanders is the pride of pride, and it is difficult for anyone to put him in his eyes. Now the Vietnam army on the opposite side came forward as if entering an uninhabited land. In Tiance’s eyes, this was originally a provocation.

If it is not that the distance is too far, it is 1000 meters away, I am afraid that the Type 95 in his hand has already taught the other person how to behave.

Vietnam army is not constantly advancing, the slogan of “advance” has been declared to the mouth, and gradually reached a peak, like a volcano that can erupt at any time, just waiting to reach a certain point The temperature will come crashing.

In contrast, the Cold Front of the seven battalions stood still and did not move, just like a huge boulder set on the ground, without being affected by the wind and rain outside.

“haha, if you see it, the other party is scared.” Seeing that our camp has moved forward 500 metres, the mercenary still has nothing to do, Nguyen Genh Wanh on the horse laughed heartily , In his opinion, this is the opponent’s incompetence to be motionless.

On the Hanoi City gate tower behind him, Crown Prince Le Thai Tong stared intently at everything in front of him. Although the team has gone farther and farther, it is already difficult to see clearly, but the mercenary did not move. The scene can still be seen clearly.

Seeing that his side is moving forward, but the other party is not moving at all, he can’t help but ask the general on the side: “Generals, look at what the mercenary wants to do “

The closest person standing next to Le Thai Tong is Fan Yuhai, known as the famous Vietnam general. Compared with the laughed expressions of other generals, his expression is a bit more solemn. When Crown Prince asked, he naturally said: “The other party is clearly braking with silence. To tell the truth, This stability is something our army can’t do.”

Fan Yuhai’s voice just fell, and another general, Li Shaozhong, couldn’t help but said: “Why should General Fan raise others? Aspiration, destroy your own power and prestige. It is clear that the mercenaries are frightened by the advancement of our army. Don’t dare to move.”

Li Shaozhong is a member of the Li Surname family, and now Vietnam is exactly the Li Surname power. Da, even with his identity as a general is as the tide rises, the boat floats.

Li Shaozhong’s words were heard in Fan Yuhai’s ears, and he did not at all to tell what. The generals on the battlefield are not like those Civilian Court Officials. They pay attention to what they say to fight against the Confucianists. They value the result more. And before the results appear, it is impossible to know who is right and who is wrong.

Crown Prince Le Thai Tong did not speak either, but stared at everything in front of him with interest. He wanted to see, facing the Vietnamese Soldiers, which had several times more troops than them, this How to deal with the amazing mercenaries called battle strength.

In front of the battlefield, the distance between the two sides is still shortening rapidly. From the earliest land of three miles to the present, it is less than seven hundred meters. Even so, the sound of “Jin” is still high in the air, and the imposing manner of the Vietnam army’s advance is getting more and more prosperous.

“All the grenade is ready, the iron shield of the fart, the company commander will let them know what it means to throw a rock in the foot after a while.” Facing the approaching enemy, Tiance He didn’t show a trace of fear, but instead issued an unquestionable military order to the soldiers below. Then he took down the Type 95 he was hanging on, and then started aiming in a standing position, ready to shoot.
