Chapter 407: Sunset (1)
"Good brother, I can count on waiting for you to come back."
Outside the city of Allahabad, there is an endless army with a solemn appearance on display, and before this sky-high iron horse Jingo, it is Chen Chunsheng, the temporary commander of the southwest at this time, and Zhu Yunxi, the deputy marshal.
The commander of Yunnan and the royal family and nobles can greet him in person, except for Ma Dajun, there is naturally no two.
"The last general Chen Chunsheng (Zhu Yunxi) has seen Ma Shuai!"
The two hugged their fists, and behind them, dozens of heavy generals from southwest countries all hugged their fists in unison and bowed down.
"The two of them greeted in person."
Turning over and dismounting, Ma Dajun quickly stepped forward to help Zhu Yunxi's arms, and shouted sideways, signaling Chen Chunsheng and the generals behind him to be exempted.
"Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier fall into a dream, and it is really the taste of this line of frontier, which is more worthy of Lao Tzu's nostalgia."
Ma Dajun raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath of intoxication, and praised him sincerely.
He was at ease, but he was dumbfounded by Chen Chunsheng on the side.
"What did you just say?"
"Nostalgia."
Chen Chunsheng's head shook like a rattle: "No, no, the previous sentence." ”
"Lie down at night and listen to the wind and rain, and the iron horse and the glacier fall into a dream."
Chen Chunsheng suddenly gasped and began to look up and down at Ma Dajun: "Brother, if it weren't for your one-eyed one-eyed, I would have thought it was an imposter from somewhere, you have been in Nanjing for two years, and you have begun to be able to drag articles, this is simply incredible." ”
Ma Dajun suddenly smiled proudly, and began to show off his little ink: "That is, you don't know how I have come over in the past two years, Your Majesty said that we military attaches will be assessed, and those who are illiterate will rush back to their hometown to farm, for this reason, I am running to the Qinhuai River and the suburbs of Beijing every day." ”
"Qinhuai River, the suburbs of Beijing?"
Chen Chunsheng blinked in confusion: "What kind of place is that?" ”
Seeing the old friend's expression, Ma Dajun sighed and patted the former's shoulder with his hand.
"Don't mention it, these two places are the places where Nanjing teaches and reads, for me, it's like hell on earth, the teachers here are stricter than the other, I haven't learned a word, that guy, either a whip or a candle, you look at my body, it's all injuries."
Chen Chunsheng suddenly felt distressed, and exclaimed again and again: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is bold to dare to be so rude, a group of sour Confucian talents, and dare to hurt the frontier generals." ”
"More than that."
Ma Dajun smiled and gritted his teeth: "Sometimes they even punish me for letting me take off my clothes. ”
"This, this."
All the beautiful yearning for Nanjing in his heart, at this moment, Chen Chunsheng's heart was all wiped out.
"Manly husbands, how can they be allowed to be humiliated like this, they really deserve to be killed."
Saying that, Chen Chunsheng sensed that something was wrong, Ma Dajun's character could be humiliated like this?
Thinking of this, his eyes met Ma Dajun's one-eyed with suspicion, and before this pair of eyes reached the moment, Ma Dajun laughed.
Chen Chunsheng didn't know that he had been deceived, and he was also angry, and smashed a fist on Ma Dajun's chest.
"Damn, go to a brothel and go to a brothel, what nonsense are you talking about with me, I really thought you were concentrating on finding a teacher to study, and your teachers are all such things."
The two brothers made a few more jokes outside the city, and Ma Dajun got up, straightened out his armor with his helmet, turned over the high-headed horse, and pulled the reins of the horse to inspect the army.
"The Ming army is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
"The Ming army is mighty!"
"Da Ming is mighty!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Ma Dajun grabbed the horse's belly, and entered this important city of India with his head held high, followed by his own soldiers and Zhu Yunxi and others.
The group drove directly to the Marshal's Mansion, and Ma Dajun did not sit down in the first place for the first time, but solemnly took out Zhu Yunwen's edict, the edict of the General Staff Office, and the seal of the tiger talisman that came to the commander-in-chief, and handed it over to the staff officers and secretaries of the army to check that they were correct.
"This time the marshal came on the emperor's order to order the allied forces of all countries to 500,000 and swallow up the entire North Delhi Sultanate in one fell swoop."
Above the main hall of the mansion, dozens of middle-level and above generals sat neatly, and they were all taken aback when they heard this.
Half a million?
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for the number of troops used by the emperor to conquer Annam, there has been no such a huge expedition.
"In the composition of the army of this expedition, I accounted for 200,000 in the Ming Dynasty, and the rest was mobilized by various countries, before the commander came here, His Majesty's edict has arrived in the capitals of the six countries one after another, and it is expected that within a month, the follow-up coalition forces and military food and materials will arrive, and the corresponding armed armor, heavy artillery and ammunition will also arrive in Jiaozhi from the sea, and the fastest speed will be delivered."
"Why is it so big this time?"
Chen Chunsheng had not yet recovered from the shock, and originally thought that he would fight one or two large-scale battles like the previous two times, and after dampening the spirit of the North Delhi Sultanate, he would take advantage of the weakness to plunder a group of labor slaves.
How did it become a war to destroy the country.
"Because there's a war going on in the Northwest right now."
Ma Dajun said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been in command of the expedition to the northwest, and he has been fighting for more than a year, and the fall of the Chagatai Khanate is only in the mlinth, and at present, the attention of the Timurid Khanate is almost all attracted by the Northwest Army, which can be regarded as an opportunity for us, so this battle must be fought fast and ruthless enough!" ”
Again, North Delhi is a descendant of Turkic origin and a loyal believer in the Green Religion, and the roots of the Timurid Khanate are the same family, and since the Sultan Mahmud surrendered to Timur, India is considered a vassal state of Timur, and Kabul, the hub city between the two countries, has a steady stream of grain and materials transported into Timur every year.
Once he knew that the Ming were ready to swallow North Delhi, Timur did not necessarily sit idly by.
This is a military conflict and game between the two great powers.
Chagatai and North Delhi are military conflict zones between the two powers.
Both Chagatai and North Delhi belonged to the vassal states of Timur, and the six southwestern states were vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.
At this point in time, it is well deserved to be an 'intercontinental war' in the Asian region.
"At the moment, is there any movement of the North Delhi Army?"
Chen Chunsheng replied: "Since our army withdrew from Delhi that year, the greatly injured Mahmud can no longer continue to control the governor's forces in various places, and the centralization of power has decreased a lot, and even for more than a year, there has been no military situation of the whole army attacking Allahabad, and the scouts of our army along the fifty miles have not detected a trace of the North Delhi army. ”
"The country is on the verge of extinction, and it is still scattered, and the North Delhi Sultanate is indeed on the verge of extinction."
Ma Dajun smiled disdainfully, and added a little confidence to this expedition in his heart.
"Okay, don't talk about the military aircraft here, my brothers have prepared a reception banquet for you, let's have a few bowls."
Chen Chunsheng greeted, and it didn't take long for the banquet to be neat.
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Chunsheng sighed with emotion: "Thinking back to the scene when we enlisted in the army together and killed Annan, it took more than ten years, but time is really like water." ”
Holding the wine bowl, Ma Dajun also sighed a lot.
"Yes, the eventful years are still vivid, back then, you and I were both young men with weak crowns, and now, people in their thirties."
"Who doesn't say it, a few months ago, my daughter-in-law sent a letter from Kunming to seal the family, saying that her son is only ten years old, but he hasn't seen his father for three or four years."
The corners of Chen Chunsheng's mouth were filled with a hint of happiness: "Ten years old, I guess I have to be so tall." ”
As he spoke, he also gestured with the void a few times, each time getting higher and higher.
There was laughter in the lobby.
"If you continue to draw like this, I'm afraid you will be taller than you, the father."
"Didn't you find a small one here?"
Ma Dajun laughed: "Look at me, a house in Kunming and a house in Nanjing, and they all have children, and when I really have the life to fight for a prince in the future, I will move my home in Kunming back to Nanjing to retire." ”
I thought that Chen Chunsheng would be as ironic as ever in the face of such ridicule, but he didn't expect the former to be directly silent in shame, which made Ma Dajun stunned.
"You won't, you really have a room here."
As he spoke, he also looked around at a large group of people in the hall and laughed: "Chunsheng, who is the most feared in our southwest army, still has such a ability, dare to continue a small room here?" ”
"Back to Ma Shuai, Chen Shuai not only renewed a room, but also a local Tianzhu girl."
"yes, what does it look like?"
Ma Dajun clamored: "Bring it out and let me, the eldest brother, take a look, this Tianzhu girl has cultivated the blessings of several lifetimes, and she can be qualified to be my younger brother and sister." ”
There was laughter and laughter in the hall, and Chen Chunsheng scratched his head more and more embarrassed.
"Last year, during the Little Pot Festival, I met in Allahabad here, the adopted daughter of an ascetic, at that time I was worried that there were Tibetan troops from North Delhi in these pilgrims, so I was reluctant to open the city gate, this little girl was not small, and dared to run to the door in the middle of the night, and wrote me a letter, saying that if our army refused to let believers enter the city to participate in the Little Pot Festival, it would be a way of self-destruction.
To tell the truth, this little girl's insight is quite good, and I was convinced by some insight. ”
"Is it persuasion or 'sleeping' clothes?"
Ma Dajun laughed, but then became interested again.
"Dervishes? Here's what it does. ”
This word was obviously a little unfamiliar to Ma Dajun, so he looked at Chen Chunsheng with interest.
"It is said that they are the most devout group of people in their religion who are the most devout to their so-called 'gods,' and who believe in the belief that by enduring all the sufferings of the world, the world will be less sinful."
Chen Chunsheng pursed his lips with a somewhat strange expression: "But in my opinion, this is a group of beasts with uncivilized brains, who not only harm themselves, but also some people like to salvage floating corpses in the Ganges." ”
"Rescue the floating corpse for burial? They are also a group of good people. ”
"Nope."
Chen Chunsheng slowly spat out: "They will eat the floating corpses!" ”
Eating floating corpses?
The faces of the big guys who were eating changed drastically, and then some of them obviously seemed to be suppressing the tumbling stomach.
You can't think about it, the more you think about it, the more you have a picture.
Self-mutilation, eating corpses.
"What kind of bullshit cult do they believe in, which can brainwash people into this?"
Ma Dajun didn't have a moved look, in the land of India, he single-handedly concocted how many corpses and mountains of blood, and the corpses were millions. Even if there are ghosts and gods in the world, you have to retreat when you see Ma Dajun.
It's just that although I don't feel disgusting and afraid, I still feel deeply bizarre.
As a mountain household in Guizhou, in the poor mountainous area, the local Tusi tribe ghost and god doctrine is also flourishing, but Ma Dajun never cares, especially the so-called jumping gods, exorcism, when I was a child, those goddesses, gods and sticks called for wind and rain, and the tricks of taking things from the air have also seen a lot, and the messy strange preaching has not been less.
And the reason why Ma Dajun didn't believe it was because when he was very young, he personally shot and killed a local famous god!
Under the pretense of heretical teachings, this group of abducted women, amassed money, and persecuted the villagers, and the youthful army of horses followed behind, restraining the fear of the unknown with anger and piercing them through the heart!
Since then, there have been no gods.
"The belief of the people in this land is deep-rooted, and during the festival of small pots and big pots, this Allahabad has become a sacred place for this group of Hindus, even those who are as far away as South India will come on foot and bathe in the Ganges en masse."
"Is it a mixed bath?"
There are always brain circuits that Qingqi has a different discovery, and coaxed: "If you want to strip naked and go down to the river, you will not even be able to find your father when you are pregnant for a few months." ”
There was laughter in the hall again.
"It's a mixed bath, indeed."
Chen Chunsheng smiled bitterly: "As for whether there is any pregnancy because of this, my concubine said that whoever is conceived will be given by God." ”
The god of fart, whose seed doesn't have a P number in his heart?
"The brainwashing of this religion is really too terrible."
Ma Dajun frowned first and then smiled: "But that's okay, with this religion, after we destroy North Delhi in the future, our rule in this land will be relatively stable."
Chunsheng, you will let your concubine, the adoptive father of the ascetic, come tomorrow, maybe he can help us a lot. ”
"Help us?"
Chen Chunsheng blinked his eyes: "How can an old thing who is dying and has a disability help?" ”
Picking up a whole roast chicken casually, Ma Dajun bit his mouth full of oil, and said vaguely: "Didn't you say that this group of ascetics is a very prestigious group of people in their religion?"
Then let me see how capable he is, and let this group of dervishes make a call and agitation for our army, and recruit the brainless people of this broken ground as pioneers. ”
This is going to recruit cannon fodder.
Chen Chunsheng sneered disdainfully.
"But the people in this place are powerless to even be slaves, let them go to war, the army, to put it mildly, my southwest army has a guard, and it is estimated that at least three or five hundred thousand can be scattered in frontal combat."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have combat power."
Ma Dajun looked up, his eyes full of indifference.
"Even if you only consume some arrows from Mahmud, you will die a well-deserved death."
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more serious.
Their commander is still the same horse army!
Even after two years, there is a lot more Wenbai Qi on his body, but the ruthlessness engraved in his bones has never diminished in the slightest.
In his eyes, human life is as cheap as ants.
