Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

On the grassland under the stars, people and horses were wailing.

The Mongols ran in from the tents one after another. They responded quickly to the sudden attack of the Ming army, but they all raised their swords and mounted their horses to prepare for the battle.

call out! call out! call out!

Facing the sudden attack of the Ming army, the first group of Mongolian cavalry to rush out of the tent had already bent their bows and arrows, and fired hard at the Ming army rushing towards them from the east.

puff! puff! puff!

The front line of the Ming Cavalry faced the sudden rain of arrows, and the people in the front line suddenly fell on their backs.

kill!

kill!

Kill!

As the eunuch in charge of Fenyong Camp, Zhao Hu set an example. When he arrived at the Mongolian camp, he raised his Xuefeng sword and slashed at the Mongolian cavalry.

At this moment, there was only killing in his eyes, and only killing could vent the hatred of the nation.

puff! puff! puff!

In terms of individual combat capabilities, the Mingqi were actually a bit inferior, but they were better because they paid more attention to integrity and were well-equipped this time. They immediately harvested the lives of these Mongolians with their Xuefeng swords.

As the knife fell from his hand, streams of blood spattered.

puff!

The Mongolian cavalry was about to bend their bows and shoot again, when they felt a flash of sword flash in front of their eyes, their heads disappeared, and their headless bodies fell directly from the horse's back.

puff!

The Mongolian cavalry was about to draw his sword and strike furiously, when he felt a cold light flash before his eyes, an arrow appeared between his eyebrows, and his body fell from the horse's back silently.

puff!

The Mongolian cavalry was about to wave their swords to meet the enemy when they felt a barrage of swords coming in front of them. They suffered several wounds on their bodies and fell off their horses while vomiting blood.

Although the Mongolian cavalry was very brave, they ignored the Ming army cavalry to the east, which had entered the camp. At this moment, they were like tigers descending the mountain one after another.

As if in just a few breaths, the Mongolian cavalry blocking the rear fell one after another. They were unable to withstand the Ming army's chariot.

"how so?"

Zhiyuan Tongha came with his own soldiers. When he saw that his invincible Mongolian cavalry died tragically under the sword of the Ming army, he suddenly felt unbelievable.

More and more Mongolian cavalry arrived, but in the face of the invading Ming army, they rushed into battle, causing complete chaos in the east of the camp.

puff! puff! puff!

Ming cavalry faced the stubborn Mongolian cavalry and had to pay a price, especially since these Mongolians had experienced killings since childhood, and brothers always fell from their horses during encirclement and suppression.

The battle between the two sides quickly intensified, with men and women constantly falling, and the screams here even reached the Great Wall where it was raining.

"These are just a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, follow me and kill them all!" Zhiyuan Tongha faced the chaos in front of him and immediately raised his scimitar and said.

He despised the Ming army from the bottom of his heart. He had participated in the sacking of Datong a few years ago. At that time, the Datong army was so killed that they did not dare to come out.

Facing this group of Ming troops who appeared out of nowhere, although they didn't understand why they were so well-equipped, especially the strange knives in their hands, they also despised this Ming army with unknown origins.

Even if he only has 1,500 men on his side, even if the other side comes with 15,000 men, with the bravery of the Mongols, they will definitely be able to kill the entire Ming army.

When we meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins!

Zhiyuan Tongha didn't have any tactical arrangements, nor did he think any tactical arrangements were needed. He immediately led his troops towards the middle of the Ming army.

call out!

An arrow flew from not far away, passing through the layers of chaotic soldiers like a long eye.

puff!

Zhiyuan Tongha had just beheaded an Mingqi under his horse when a sharp arrow flew from the rebel army. He felt a sudden pain in his throat and stared ahead in disbelief.

His eyes were wide open, looking in disbelief, but he couldn't understand that he would die here, and he would die in such an inexplicable way.

Through the layers of people, the person holding the bow turned out to be a young eunuch wearing a bullfight uniform.

Among the Thirteen Leopards of the Ming Dynasty, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, but Zhao Hu is good at shooting and possesses a stunning treasured bow given by the emperor. He is already known as the best archer in the capital.

When Zhao Hu saw Zhiyuan Tongha being shot dead by him, his heart dropped slightly. He immediately raised the bow in his hand and shouted: "The Mongolian leader is dead, kill them all!"

"Kill!" Seeing the leading Mongolian being killed by their commander, the soldiers of Fenyong Camp suddenly became more morale and shouted in unison.

As morale increased, the soldiers of the Ming army became fearless and fearless of death, killing the enemy with all their might.

The Mongols originally thought that the other side was easy to bully, but slowly they discovered that the old fighting style was no longer effective, and the number of people on their side became smaller and smaller.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The remaining few hundred Mongolian cavalry saw that their defeat was certain, especially that their Zhiyuan Tongha had been shot dead by the Ming army, and they suddenly had no intention of fighting anymore.

As the only fighting force of the Mongolian army retreated, the skirmishers in the Mongolian camp were no longer a concern. These soldiers died one after another under the swords of the Ming army.

puff!

The last Mongolian cavalryman was beheaded, and the camp returned to peace.

Zhao Hu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he looked at the Mongolian corpses on the ground.

This time, he and Zhang Hu led the elites of the Beijing camp to fight in the fortress. This was not only a personal experience for him, but also a test for the entire elite of the Beijing camp.

But judging from the current results, they have indeed proven themselves, and their combat capabilities are not weaker than those of the highly paid SHIELD battalion.

Ma Feng, deputy general of the Xuan Mansion, led five thousand elite troops to accompany him. Seeing today's results, he swallowed secretly, with a flash of greed in his eyes.

Zhao Hu seemed to have seen through their little thoughts, and immediately expressed his position: "Our Beijing army does not take military merit, but now you can count how many enemies you have killed and report it to the court. The court will reward you!"

"I humbly obey my command!" Ma Feng's eyes brightened slightly, and he said with genuine joy.

Dawn arrived as expected, and the huge military camp was filled with corpses.

The injured Ming army was bandaging their wounds, and the accompanying Xuanfu personnel had already begun counting the heads here. This was a long-lost victory for them.

Facing the Mongolian cavalry who always come and go without a trace, such a record this time is worthy of special mention.

Call!

The sound of horse hoofbeats came from the south. The Datong Deputy General Soldier headed by him came to the camp and tightened his horse, causing the horse he was riding to raise its front hooves high.

All he could see were corpses of Mongolians with missing ears, which caused a look of horror on his face.

"You Datong Army are really sleeping peacefully. You didn't want to come over to take a look at such a big movement!" Ma Feng, the deputy general of the Xuan Mansion, naturally recognized Chen Jian and said as he walked out of the camp.

Chen Jian knew the number of people in this Mongolian camp, so he just asked in confusion: "You didn't inform us in advance, and you didn't let us get information. How on earth did you know that these Mongolians were stationed here?"

"This matter naturally depends on the night report and the pond newspaper we built this year. Don't underestimate our Ming Dynasty's current intelligence!" Ma Feng seemed to have guessed that Chen Jian would ask this question and said very proudly.

The Ming army has always been far stronger than the Mongolian cavalry, but it is very difficult to encircle and suppress the Mongolian cavalry in this grassland, so it is crucial to locate their camp.

But now that the Ming Dynasty has established the Tangbao system, Ye Bushou has played a huge role, allowing them to quickly gather general information and then grasp the movements of the Mongols.

Zhao Hu relied on the Zaotang newspaper system. Although he was still in the Xuanfu, he already knew the military situation of Datong, so he decided to go out with the elites of the Xuanfu to attack the Mongolian camp.

After learning about the response from the Datong Army and cleaning the battlefield, they returned to the border town of Datong with the trophies captured from the Mongolian camp.

It's just that the war here is over, but all the killings are about to begin.

Datong Fucheng, inside the governor's office.

Zuo Yu was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Jingtai. Although he started as a remote county magistrate, he has now climbed up to the position of governor of Datong step by step. It can be said that he has a glorious ancestor.

Now, not only did he have a wife, but he also married three wives and four concubines, and even saved a rich family fortune for his family. He can be said to be a winner in life.

Like many officials, Zuo Yu was accustomed to living a luxurious life. In addition to having a beautiful concubine to accompany him in bed, he also had several maids to serve him every day.

"Why didn't I receive any news at all?"

"This time it's the Xuanfu who came from outside the Great Wall!"

"Even so, Xuanfu still has to say hello to me. Which song does Li Yue want to sing?"

…

After Zuo Yu learned of the good news outside the Great Wall, he was furious.

Last night he had just agreed to a secret deal between Shanxi businessmen and the Mongols, but now the Mongols were actually wiped out, which undoubtedly cut off his financial path.

Facing such a ungrateful Li Yue, he wanted to trample this idiot to death.

"Governor Zuo, which law of heaven have I violated to make you so angry?" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the door.

Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Li Yue, the governor of Xuanfu, actually appeared here.

Zuo Yu didn't care to think about why Li Yue appeared here. When he saw the rightful owner, he angrily accused him: "Governor Li, you are so greedy for merit and rash, aren't you afraid of being shot?"

The great thing about officialdom is that the real motives are often hidden deeply, and the reasons revealed are so high-sounding. After all, this attack can indeed be attributed to greed for credit.

Although you can't express the reason for your anger, don't let it prevent you from finding reasons to vent your anger, or even find reasons to trample the other person to death.

"Governor Zuo, I can't afford this hat of yours!" Li Yue, who is also a veteran in the officialdom, responded with a smile.

Zuo Yu realized that he had grasped the opponent's pigtails, and threatened with a smile: "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I will impeach you and have to kill you." The future is doomed!"

Destroying someone's future is like killing one's parents, causing Li Yue's face to darken immediately.

"Governor Zuo, Mr. Li obviously killed the invading Datong Mongolian cavalry for the imperial court this time. Why does it sound like he violated the law of heaven in your mouth?" The fat young man following Li Yue saw everything and immediately became angry. He said calmly.

Huh?

Only then did Zuo Yu notice that there was an official wearing a third-grade official uniform standing behind Li Yue. Although he was only a young man, it was already impressive to be able to wear this third-grade official uniform in the local area.

It's just that there is still a long way to go from being a third-grade Shanxi chief envoy to participating in politics to a local governor, and he may never even reach his own schedule.

Zuo Yu felt unhappy with this somewhat proud junior, and said sarcastically: "I am talking to Governor Li here, how can you speak here?"

"Your Majesty often says that some local officials are more interested in pomp than practical work. When I saw you today, Your Majesty is really far-sighted. Even though you are the governor, you are not able to make plans!" Faced with Zuo Yu's rudeness, the young fat man said with emotion. .

Zuo Yu's brows immediately furrowed, and he snorted coldly: "You, a small Shanxi politician, are talking nonsense here. Can you, Your Majesty, see you?"

"Governor Zuo, let me introduce you to you!" Li Yue saw that Zuo Yu had obviously misunderstood, so he pointed at the young fat man and introduced: "This is Mr. Chen Kun, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who has just been personally awarded by His Majesty. , serve as Governor of Xuanda!"

ah?

Zuo Yu didn't expect that the imperial court would send an immediate superior, and his eyes widened in shock.

Since he had been paying close attention to the situation in the court, he knew that the new emperor had added governors of Huguang and Shandong, but he did not expect that he would add governors of Xuanda in Datong and Xuanfu.

If the person in front of him is not the newly appointed Chief Secretary of Shanxi Province, but the newly appointed Governor of Xuanda, what he just said is really a slap in the face.

"Master Zuo, there's no need to be too polite. It would be better if you didn't give this gift!" Chen Kun saw Zuo Yu about to salute and immediately stopped him.

Zuo Yu put away the flattering smile on his face and asked in confusion: "I wonder what the governor meant by this?"

"I originally came here to take up the post, but Tang Bing discovered that there were unscrupulous businessmen in contact with the Mongols, so I decided to investigate, but unexpectedly, I found you!" The corners of Chen Kun's mouth raised slightly, explaining the reason for the matter. road.

Since we have realized that the rank of Minister of the Sixth Division to the Secretariat of the Sixth Division requires the experience of the local governor, so after learning that His Majesty intended to add the Governor of Xuanda, he recommended himself for this position.

I originally wanted to make some political achievements, but I didn't expect that before I arrived in Datong, Datong was so sleepy that I gave him a pillow and dared to have an affair with the Mongols.

Of course, the reason why I pay attention to the smuggling problem of Shanxi businessmen is actually due to His Majesty's instructions before leaving, which told me to crack down on the smuggling Shanxi businessmen.

This "you" makes people's scalp numb.

After all, Zuo Yu was a veteran in the officialdom. He quickly calmed down and said: "Governor Chen, don't you dare to spit on people here. I have a sworn blood feud with the Tatars, so how can I commit illicit liaison with the Mongols?" It must be a traitor who framed this governor!"

"It rained heavily last night. In order to catch a big fish, most of my clothes were soaked! The man was caught when he came out of your governor's office, and both of them have confessed. If you have any grievances, come to the capital again." Shout! Come here, capture Governor Zuo and escort him to the capital for trial!" Chen Kun looked at the Datong Governor like a clown and said with a wave of his hand.
