In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Unconsciously, Zhu Youlang has come to the second year of this era.

From the end of the twelfth year of Yongli to the beginning of the fourteenth year of Yongli, the situation was very good, and only Zhu Youlang himself knew the sadness and pain he experienced.

War is cruel, and it is not that you can push it all the way with a golden finger, nor is it that all nations will come to court with a shock of the tiger's body.

What happened only in it did not happen to him.

The territory that the Ming Dynasty fought was all bought by the soldiers with their lives.

In this regard, Zhu Youlang was naturally very emotional.

He established the Loyal Shrine to encourage soldiers to serve the country.

From the current point of view, the effect is still very good.

What made Zhu Youlang even more pleased was the growth of Jinyiwei and the Tiger Benjun.

Needless to say, the Tiger Army, which was equipped with the most sophisticated guns and artillery, played no worse role in the battle than Li Dingguo's troops, and it gave Zhu Youlang enough face.

Although Li Dingguo's loyalty is undoubted, it is still important for the Son of Heaven to have an ace army in his hands.

As for Jinyiwei, under Zhu Youlang's deliberate purge, he gradually played a role in obtaining intelligence.

Among them, what Zhu Youlang admires the most is the secret guard.

The Dark Guards are different from the brocade guards on the surface, they do not reveal their identities, but carry out tasks in the dark.

The benefits of this are obvious, and it maximizes the amount of intelligence without startling the snake.

Moreover, Zhu Youlang usually sends secret agents to relatively dangerous places such as the Qing occupation area.

Zhu Youlang is not a conceited person, if he wants to seize the opportunity in the war, he must know himself and his opponent as much as possible.

Wang Henian is one of them.

Ke Chongqing, Dingwuchang, all of which have Wang Henian's figure.

It can be said that Wang Henian can always appear where Zhu Youlang wants him to appear.

Zhu Youlang was naturally very pleased with this.

He also listed Wang Henian as a key training object, and prepared to promote him to the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the future.

Of course, this is a gradual process, and Wang Henian's current ability is not enough to hold such an important position.

Speak of the devil.

Early in the morning of the new year, Wang Henian entered the palace to face the saint.

Zhu Youlang sat in the main hall in a set of red gowns to meet Wang Henian.

Wang Henian went to the palace to push the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar to bow down.

"The minister and the king congratulate Your Majesty for the New Year, and wish Your Majesty a safe and healthy New Year."

Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Happy New Year." ”

"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty wants to attack Changsha, and the minister is willing to recommend himself."

Zhu Youlang did have plans to attack Changsha, but it has not yet been finalized. The specific charter has to be discussed with Li Dingguo before being decided.

However, Wang Henian's willingness to spy on intelligence in advance is naturally excellent.

It's just a pity that just after the New Year, Wang had to set off for the New Year, and he really couldn't be idle for a moment.

"It's just a little hard work."

When Wang Henian saw the Son of Heaven say this, he strengthened his belief and said: "This is what a minister should do, and it is an honor to share the worries of His Majesty." ”

"Well, I'll leave after fifteen. Even if you go to Changsha now, you will be suspicious. After all, few people travel long distances during the New Year. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"When you go to Changsha, you must pay attention to safety. If the situation is not right, come back early, I can't do without you now! ”

Zhu Youlang's words were sincere.

Wang Henian's ability can definitely be ranked in the forefront of the younger generation.

"Your Majesty's will!"

Wang Henian was very excited. His ability to get to where he is today is certainly related to the promotion of the Son of Heaven, but it is also inseparable from his own hard work.

People like him with no background have to work harder than others to get ahead. He will fight if others dare not fight, and he will do what others dare not do.

Only by constantly fighting can we get a chance.

Wang Henian has changed from an unknown businessman to Jane's Jinyi guard in the emperor's heart, and has experienced countless heartaches.

But now it's hard to come to an end.

But Wang Henian did not dare to relax at any time.

Because he knew how hard it was for him to get all this.

If you want to keep this wealth and grandchildren, you must continue to make meritorious contributions.

There must be many people around the Son of Heaven who want to rise to the top.

And the upper position needs to step on people.

Wang Henian doesn't want to be a stepping stone for others to take the throne.

For the Son of Heaven, anyone who is good can use it.

But for Wang Henian, he only has one chance.

Once forgotten by the Son of Heaven, he has made a lot of merit before, and it will be in vain.

"Stay with me for lunch."

Zhu Youlang was in a very good mood and commanded in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Henian forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart and gave up his hand.

...

...

In the bleak New Year, a broken army marched in the mountains with a broken face.

If it weren't for the fact that this army was all cavalry and well-equipped, it would have been easy to mistake them for ordinary bandits and horse bandits.

"Ahh

Ao Bai sneezed, then frowned and slapped his horsewhip fiercely.

What the hell is the weather!

I can't imagine that the winter along the Yangtze River is so cold!

Although it is not as dry and cold as Liaodong, this kind of clammy cold is also very uncomfortable.

Especially if the sweaty and wet clothes stick to the body, it is a really desperate feeling.

The situation is even worse for the wounded. After the blood dries, it sticks to the skin and can't be torn at all, and when it is torn, it is connected to the flesh.

Ao Bai never thought that Kuidong's bone was so difficult to gnaw.

He thought that he could regain face in Kuidong after the attack on Yiling and Xiangyang were frustrated, but who would have thought that this time he would completely lose face.

Whether it is Xingshan, Badong, or Wushan, the combat power of the Ming army is very strong.

Although the Eight Banners Army was good at cavalry archery, it could not play an advantage at all in siege warfare.

Ao Bai tried several times in a row, but he touched the ash of his nose.

His forces had lost more than 10 percent, and his food and grass had bottomed out.

Seeing that there was no point in consuming any longer, Ao Bai had to order to evacuate.

But because it has entered the cold winter, it is not easy for the army to move.

Although the mountains do not freeze, the stream is cold and unbearable.

But if you want to return to Guizhou, the mountain road must be taken.

It's just that it's easy to get into the mountains and hard to get out of the mountains.

After climbing over a mountain and a mountain, Ao Bai would scold a few words at first. But I'm used to walking a lot of mountain roads.

After a long journey, the food and grass were in a hurry, and the Eight Banners Army changed from three meals a day to two meals a day, and then to one meal a day.

If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep one meal a day.

What's even more terrifying is that not only are people starving, but also horses are not enough to eat.

When he went out on the expedition, he was very well-raised, all of them had fat heads and big ears, but now he is skinny.

Some of the horses could not support it and fell, so Ao Bai ordered the horses to be killed to replenish the meat for the soldiers.

It's just that horse meat is not delicious and has a sour taste.

I really don't know how long it will take for this ghost day to end!
