Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 780: good son in law

  Chapter 780 What a good son-in-law

  Liu Jian and others turned pale in shock, looked at Emperor Hongzhi, and thought to themselves, could something have happened?

  The three of them didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly bowed down: "I will wait for ten thousand deaths."

   "Damn it's the Tatars." Emperor Hongzhi said with a red face, "Good fight, majestic fight!"

   "Your Majesty, this..."

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at the three of Liu Jian: "Our army attacked and fought against it outside Datong City. Seventy to eighty thousand troops and horses defeated seventy thousand Tatar iron cavalry..."

   "..."

  Liu Jian and the others gasped.

  This... is too scary.

  Since Emperor Wen, has there been an equal number of decisive battles in the wilderness to defeat the Tatars?

  Even Wang Yue, the famous official back then, mostly focused on raiding.

  Liu Jian couldn't help but said: "This... Your Majesty..."

"It's absolutely true, what the above said is very clear. Among them, the most important thing is the mighty thunderbolt of the captain. Because of this thing, and the soldiers' lives, the Tatars are like chickens and dogs. It is vulnerable. Haha... this is God Blessing Daming. After this battle, the north... There is no foreign trouble for the time being. Come, come, to summon the British Duke Zhang Mao, this is a great victory, if the ancestors are in heaven spirit…"

  Speaking of which.

  Xiao Jing, Liu Jian and the others all looked at Emperor Hongzhi in bewilderment.

  Only Ouyang Zhi's face is like an ancient well without waves, as if his eyes are hallucinations.

  Then Xiao Jing said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, British Duke, you are still in Datong."

"I forgot!" Emperor Hongzhi stroked his forehead. Sure enough, human inertia is terrible, so that Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing: "This great victory is enough to inspire the three armies. Order him to go to Taimiao. Zhang Qing's family did not disappoint me. He was as immovable as a mountain before, but once he seized the opportunity to fight, he was able to make a decisive decision. The superiors said that he personally led the army and arrived behind the chariot formation, so that the three armies followed suit. Everyone stepped forward bravely, and this bought enough time for the Feiqiu camp, Zhang Qing’s family has worked hard.”

"Fang Jifan is my good son-in-law." Emperor Hongzhi blushed, "I have this son, even if I have a hundred thousand elite soldiers, I would not change it. It's just a pity..." At this point, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help feeling sorry, really What a pity.

"It's a pity that the Tatar Khan fled in despair. His escape is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Even if this person suffered defeats, he has been defeated and fought repeatedly. He is extremely tenacious. He doesn't know when he will regain his strength Come."

   This is Emperor Hongzhi's only regret.

  This Tatar Khan is harder to deal with than any previous Tatar Khan.

  In the past, the Tatars would be honest for many years after suffering a loss, but this person can always take in the defeated soldiers and come back again.

  This Yanda Khan is like a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of Emperor Hongzhi.

   But Liu Jian and the others seemed to have begun to understand something, great victory, another great victory, the north is temporarily, and they can sit back and relax again.

   This battle lasted only one month, and how much food was saved, and after this battle, the majesty of the court and the spread of Yunei are truly a masterpiece.

  Liu Jian and others said happily: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

   "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

With a smile on his face, Emperor Hongzhi sighed with his hands behind his back: "Immediately announce the decree. There is no good news recently. It is time for the court to share the joy with all the people. I... With capable generals like Zhang Qing's family and Jifan, I can rest easy. .”

  In his eyes, there was mist and water, and there was a touch of emotion.

  He couldn't help but said: "This captain's mighty Thunderbolt..."

  Each time when talking about this thing, Emperor Hongzhi felt convoluted: "Which **** got the name?"

  Liu Jian and others were speechless. Isn’t the truth self-evident?

But Ouyang Zhi's reaction was extremely quick, the old cadre transformed instantly, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, my mentor has researched the Thunderbolt Bullet. I think it's the craftsmen below to please my mentor, so I took this name. It is the craftsmen who sincerely praise the exquisiteness of this ingenious thunderbolt. I think my teacher strongly opposes this. My teacher has always taught students that anyone with a conscience should not boast. My teacher's teachings are unforgettable to this day. The mentor taught the ministers like this, and he also treated himself harshly with this. For example, the elder father of the mentor rescued many people when he was in Tumubao. He seldom mentioned it to others. What the mentor fears most is other people. I owe him family favors, so I feel guilty. My mentor often said that fame is just a matter of death. A gentleman behaves and behaves, and looks up to the world. Take it easy and do what you think is right.”

   After finishing speaking, Ouyang Zhi bowed down without hesitation.

  The expression on his face was serious, as if two words were written on his face: "loyalty!"

  You don't have to believe Fang Jifan's words, but if you don't believe Ouyang Zhi's words, do you still have a conscience?

  Emperor Hongzhi saw Ouyang Zhi like this, so he knew that what Ouyang Zhi said was true.

He said with emotion: "Yes, the people below always do what they like. Although Jifan is occasionally childish, it is expected that he will not be so brazen. I almost watched him grow up. What is he? People, I know it all. Ouyang Qing family, get up quickly, your mentor has made great contributions, and I am too late to be happy, so why would you blame me for this? I just slipped my tongue."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty." Ouyang Zhi got up, and Ouyang's dumb look returned to his face.

  Liu Jian and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. They felt that... they were a little confused.

  Fang Jifan... Who the **** is this?

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Decree, order Zhang Qing's family and Jifan to return to the court immediately, and all soldiers will be rewarded for their merits."

   "The ministers and others...obey the order."

  Liu Jian received the decree, glanced left and right, and then said: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness..."

Emperor Hongzhi's joy had just diminished a little. He sighed: "My son, I know that he...although he is childish, but countless soldiers and civilians have gone deep into the desert to fight against the thieves. My son, is it not possible? Are you going through life and death to protect the country? He is a lucky person with his own destiny, I believe...he will come back safely. Don't worry about waiting."

Although he comforted Liu Jian and others, Emperor Hongzhi felt emotional in his heart. I hope... Houzhao can be safe. This child wanted to kill the Tatars since he was a child. He wanted to be ashamed of the Tumu Fortress. Silly boy.

  But... simply, let him be so willful for a while.

  Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back and didn't say anything more.

  Li Dongyang was anxious. He kept giving Liu Jian winks, but Liu Jian was indifferent. Obviously, Liu Jian seemed unwilling to mention these things at this time.

  Li Dongyang couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I don't know the emperor's grandson..."

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Li Dongyang.

   Thinking about it, this is the wish of countless ministers.

  They don't have any bad intentions, they just...have their own standpoint.

  Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Let's discuss it later."

"yes."

  ...

   On the grassland, there were flames everywhere, and one tribe after another was razed to the ground.

The soldiers brought by    are becoming more and more vigorous. Now there is almost no need to formulate any tactics. They only need to give an order, and everyone knows what they should do.

  After attacking more than a dozen tribes, I don’t know how much food and livestock were burned, and how many Tatars were killed.

  Zhu Houzhao's sword was stained with blood, and the blood dried up over and over again.

  Riding on a horse, he had grown a scruffy beard under his chin, and his skin color was darker, but on the horse, he looked even more heroic.

Captured tens of thousands of sailors, and indeed provided Zhu Houzhao with a lot of clues. This Chilu Buhua knows the habits of the grassland like the palm of his hand. , In this desert, in what season, where the aquatic plants are the most plentiful, and the Tatars live after the aquatic plants, as long as you know where the aquatic plants are the most abundant, you will know where a large number of Tatars have gathered.

   After raiding again and again and running for thousands of miles, Zhu Houzhao has long been accustomed to the climate on the grassland.

  Although life was difficult, Zhu Houzhao felt that it was nothing.

This burning and killing along the way, especially a few days ago, attacked a tribe with tens of thousands of people. This tribe, obviously the headquarters of Yanda Khan, killed many so-called princes and prime ministers. There were as many as 100,000. Zhu Houzhao is still reminiscing about this battle to this day.

The most elite warriors of the Tatars all went to Datong. No matter how many people stayed here, they were only old, weak, sick and disabled. Moreover, the iron cavalry of the Ming army came and went like the wind, and attacked suddenly and orderly. A lot of troops were lost, but the so-called tens of thousands of tribes were still powerless to fight back.

   This is also the first time that the Tatars are so vulnerable.

   "Report!" A scout came on a flying horse...

   "I found a group of people, thousands of people, looking at them, they are very tired, coming from Datong to the north."

   Zhu Houzhao frowned.

  Thousands of people.

  Could it be... After getting some news, did you come here to intercept yourself?

  This is troublesome. If so, then... the opponents must send elites, and the number of opponents will be several times that of your own.

   "They... What kind of banner did they play?"

  "There is no flag. Judging from their formation, it seems... a little loose, as if they are very tired. Many people even lost their horses, so they had to follow on foot... Like... like... a group of defeated soldiers."

  Zhu Houzhao quickly picked up the map and roughly confirmed his location. It is five or six hundred miles away from Datong. Could it be...the defeated army of Datong...This is incredible.

   "The other party, has he ever found your whereabouts?"

   "After looking at it from a distance with a telescope, he retreated immediately. Even if the other party found it, they probably just thought that it was just an ordinary shepherd wandering around, and it was impossible for him to think of his identity."

  …

and also!
