Chapter 257: Retribution
Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.
The scenery of the grassland is superb, vast and quiet, and the breeze blows through the patches of Qinghai, rippling with high vitality.
It is difficult for you to associate this paradise-like environment with Mongolia, which traveled thousands of miles to destroy hundreds of countries, and the people born in this environment have such an inflated desire to conquer and kill.
For thousands of years, once the southern neighbors became weak, this people born on horseback would pick up the saber with a cruel smile, wave the horsewhip, sing their folk songs excitedly, chant the blessing of eternal heaven, jump over the Great Wall, and go south with iron hooves.
And today, the neighbors in the south have launched a reverse conquest towards the prairie!
A huge army, hundreds of thousands of horses' hooves smashed like hammer handles on the green drum surface, and muffled thunder exploded.
"The flesh is back to life."
No one knows that Zhu Di followed his own marching plan, and when he ran fast for a day and a night, the flesh on the inside of his legs had been ground and painful, but Zhu Di could endure it, so much so that even Zhu Gaoxu, who had been accompanying him, couldn't see it, if it wasn't for the blood dripping from behind Zhu Di's steps when he was camping.
"Daddy?"
Zhu Gaoxu was startled, and subconsciously shouted, but was frightened by Zhu Di's looking back.
This unexpected situation was something Zhu Di never expected, and he even fell into deep self-doubt for a while.
But if you think about it carefully, in addition to fighting in the southwest that year, but at that time, because of the terrain, he was more on foot and rarely rode horses, and then he was pampered in Nanjing, how many years has he not had such a crazy rapid march?
Four hundred miles in a day and night!
The book of soldiers often says that the Marquis is a god, but Xiahou Miaocai rode the tiger and leopard for more than 350 miles day and night, and Zhu Di was born on this basis and rose to 50 miles!
In order to outflank the entire river of tribulation before he had time to come back to his senses in the prairie!
But Zhu Di did everything he could, but he didn't calculate that he would one day feel Liu Ranran's situation, and Liu Ranran's emotion fell into his mouth, which was really unreasonable.
"This is a warning from heaven to Lao Tzu."
In the handsome tent that was temporarily put down, Zhu Di took off his skirt armor, looked at the blurred flesh and blood on the inside of his legs, and sighed.
"Time is short, it turns out that Gu is already old, and after only three or four years of peace, he can't even ride a war horse."
Zhu Gaoxu was busy preparing medicine for Zhu Di this time, and subconsciously replied when he heard this: "Where is my father old, according to me, he can at least gallop for thirty years." ”
"Hahahaha."
Zhu Di took the medicine handed by Zhu Gaoxu, applied it to the root of his thigh, and immediately gasped, and then laughed again.
"Old is old, fortunately, your father and I can trample the grassland before raising birds and teasing grasshoppers, and this life is worth it."
Zhu Di himself doesn't know why he has such a big obsession with conquering the grassland, maybe this is the reason why he stayed in the north to meet the grassland people when he was a child.
At present, the Daming National Defense Army in the northwest, Monan, and Daning directions are all invested in the prairie, of which the Monan road is a full 50,000 elite cavalry, all of whom are in the prime of life in their twenties and thirties, and in the direction of Daning, there are more servant troops of Wuliang Ha Sanwei, plus several Jurchen dogs such as Savage, Haixi, and Beishan, and nearly 50,000 elite cavalry have also been mobilized in the direction of Daningwei.
Zhu Di felt that in the environment of the Mobei Prairie, where the scenery of thousands of miles is in full view, the battlefield where fighting does not rely on command and depends on life, and the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, even if a yellow-mouthed child is allowed to command, the Ming Dynasty should be victorious and undefeated.
What's more, the commander-in-chief of this battle is him, the feared King of Ming Yan of the grasslands who was killed in the past?
"Rest for four hours, continue to run, and be sure to complete the established military order to encircle the river within five days."
It is only more than a thousand miles from the Dongsheng Acropolis to the Troubled River, and it will take three days to run in a straight line, but Zhu Di made up his mind to eat all the herdsmen of the two herdsmen of the Troubled River this time, so he naturally chose to outflank him, he wants to be more bullish than Lan Yu, and directly stew the prairie in one pot!
Daning is a little closer to the Trouble River than Zhu Di's side, and naturally the speed will slow down a lot.
On the eastern battlefield, Zhu Ju, who was the commander of the Daning Guard at the time, was busy cleaning up and sweeping the grassland tribes scattered along the way.
His surname is Zhu, but he is not a clansman.
He was the slave of Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and was given the surname Zhu.
Zhu Quan was deprived of military power by Zhu Yunwen and recalled to Nanjing, and Zhu Ju took over Zhu Quan's class because he had been in Daning for a long time and was familiar with the army, and was responsible for guarding the town in Daning, and had coordinated the three guards of Wuliang Ha and several Jurchens.
Zhu Yunwen issued a strict order at the beginning, the savage Jurchens, Beishan Jurchens, and Haixi Jurchens who were hiding between the white mountains and black waters, and the Haixi Jurchens who lived by the sea must move out and fill in Daning and Monan, otherwise the whole clan will be wiped out.
The fate of the Jianzhou Jurchen is still in sight, where do these three dare to fight back, and they are so frightened that they honestly gather the people to move from Liaodong to Daning and Monan, and distribute them to various guard posts to accept unified command and leadership.
"The scenery of the grassland is really nice."
Zhu Ju stood on a low hill, and behind him were the chiefs of the various tribes.
"In a few days, this land will be the horse farm of His Majesty of my Heavenly Empire."
Several leaders flattered and agreed.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor has been granted the right of king, and he is a herdsman on behalf of the heavens, and the grasslands, seas, and mountains are all the property of His Majesty the Great Emperor."
Zhu Ju turned his head and looked cold: "It is granted by the divine monarch, without His Majesty's edict, even if it is the so-called heavenly god, it is just an evil god and a demon." ”
Arrogant Han people, where does the pride come from in their bones, even disdainful of the gods of heaven and earth?
Several chiefs were reprimanded, and they all lowered their eyebrows, and the trembling Vino should be.
"General."
A pawn ran from the low hill and saluted Zhu Ju.
"The radius of a hundred miles has been emptied, and more than 1,000 Tartars have been captured."
"It's all cut down, and General Ben doesn't have time to escort and take care of them."
As soon as Zhu Yi spoke, the air around him was instantly filled with the smell of blood.
The sergeant was ordered to retreat, and several chiefs also took the initiative to ask for orders: "General, leave the scattered work of this peripheral sweep to the minions and others, and let the athletes of the kingdom rest for a while." ”
Sweeping means cattle and sheep property, it means that you can indulge military discipline, this barracks is full of big men, they are holding back the fire these days.
"Okay, since you take the initiative to ask for help, General Ben will give you this opportunity, but the ugly words are in front, but whoever slips away to report the news will harm our army..."
"Before asking for the neck to be killed, to correct military discipline."
Several people were overjoyed and hurriedly clasped their fists and shouted.
"Then go ahead."
Zhu Ju's eyes drooped slightly, and he opened his mouth with blood: "Since the Chinese army has spread out, there is a radius of fifty miles, and there is not a single inch of grass left." ”
Not a single inch of grass is left!
The cycle of heaven is a feud, and it should be revenged!
