Daming's development to this point is already rotten at the root. The fate of the front is determined by the rear, and the survival of the million-strong army depends on the meaningless factional games above the court and in the military tent. The civil officials are intrigued, and the generals are also focused on their own mountains. In such a court, if you don't stand in line, you won't have the opportunity to display your talents. And once you take sides, your decisions will inevitably be coerced by factions. In today's strong enemy, it is still so focused on infighting, and it is only a matter of time before the game is finished.

As a time-traveling person who is familiar with the direction of history, Ye Fu is now not thinking about saving this tattered dynasty, but focusing on how to survive this era first. To be alive is to have everything, isn't it?

"Brother Ye, it's amazing!" Jin Yichuan's voice suddenly woke up Ye Fu, who was leaning on the railing and falling into deep thought, and as soon as he turned his head to the side, he saw Jin Yichuan's big smiling face come into view. The two are called superiors and subordinates, in fact, they are very good brothers in private, there are no outsiders at this time, Jin Yichuan hooked Ye Fu's neck with his arm, and said to him with a smile, "If you want me to say, after this battle, you are the most proud!" Thousands of households, Sanyang garrison! It's been promoted two levels in a row! ”

Indeed, after listening to Jin Yichuan's words, Ye Fu couldn't help laughing.

Because of his outstanding performance in this battle, he figured out the enemy's movements, and attracted the rescue of the Eastern Route Army in time, so that the Ming army was saved from a catastrophe, so he made a great contribution. Although his rank is very low, it stands to reason that his name will never reach the heavens. But in order to cover up the defeat, the only bright spots naturally have to be highlighted. Therefore, he was able to be specifically mentioned in the war report.

It is precisely because of this stroke that Ye Fu was promoted two levels in a row.

Whether to be promoted or not is not the focus of Ye Fu's concern. What made him happiest was that he was able to get rid of the identity of being a cannon fodder echelon anytime and anywhere, and gained the right to independently lead troops to garrison.

What do you mean by that? Heroes in troubled times rise from all directions, and if there is a gun, he is the king of grass. It wasn't until this moment that Ye Fu saw a glimmer of his own light in the border blood fog of the last Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he said to Jin Yichuan: "What? You kid! I was promoted, didn't I give you a promotion? Don't worry, the Tartar ambition is not dead, this battle still has to be fought! Since ancient times, men have taken fame immediately. It's time for us to make a good contribution, what a pity not to seize it! ”

From the time when he had just been promoted and learned that he could already get out of the town, Ye Fu gradually began to calmly analyze the pros and cons of his gains and losses at this time.

He knew very well that the Tartar chieftain Nurhachi had not prepared for a day or two to seize Liaodong, let alone the so-called rebellion with just thirteen pairs of armor, and rashly rebelled with a pat on the head. Instead, after years of lying on the salary, he has carefully planned for himself and accumulated sufficient strength. deliberately infiltrated the Liaodong Army. There is only such a hundred boiling water, which stops under the ice, and once it is sprayed out, it will definitely shock everyone.

Therefore, after Li Chengliang and Li Rusong died one after another, Nurhachi rebelled, and in a short period of time, he was able to win a large number of surrendered generals in the formation to capture and firmly occupy most of Liaodong.

Therefore, it is conceivable that as long as Ye Fu continues to stay in the border army, stick to the front line of the fight against Houjin. One of the most important threats he inevitably faced did not come from the Jin army, which claimed to be 'full of more than 10,000 people, and invincible if it exceeded 10,000 people'. Rather, it comes from within.

Not only from the superiors and colleagues who are divided into factions, but also from the subordinates in the army who are about to command.

Compared with the old subordinates who were familiar with him in the night, Ye Fu did not trust these new subordinates who were about to be assigned to him. But if you want to increase your power, how to integrate them, clench them into fists, and use them for your own use, that is the top priority.

Otherwise, when the time comes, if something happens to the city secretly, he will have no place to cry.

"Brother Ye, what are you thinking about if you don't sleep at night?"

Jin Yichuan's voice came, making Ye Fu suddenly wake up from his contemplation.

He turned his head to look over, and through the misty moonlight, he saw Jin Yichuan standing behind him.

Careless!

Ye Fu turned his head back to the front and breathed a sigh of relief. While calming down the panic of being frightened in the middle of the night, he secretly blamed himself in his heart.

This is a frontier where danger can happen at any time! In this kind of place, even if you are asleep, you have to keep your ears and keep an eye on the wind and grass around you. If it wasn't Jin Yichuan standing behind him today, but the Tartar soldiers who touched him, wouldn't he be bad?

As he thought, he turned his head again, but suddenly saw a cold light in the dark night suddenly flashing in his eyes.

"Be careful!"

Ye Fu only had time to shout these two words, so he grabbed the Pu knife that was always at his side, jumped up, and rushed towards Jin Yichuan's side.

Jin Yichuan didn't react yet, he was stunned, and he had been thrown to the ground by Ye Fu.

At the same time, Ye Fu pounced, and crossed the Pu knife in front of him. The moment the two of them fell to the ground, they heard an extremely loud 'dang long' sound, and the sound of iron tools colliding.

didn't have time to take care of Jin Yichuan, who was knocked down by himself and protected with his body, after Ye Fu had just saved Jin Yichuan from a catastrophe, he supported the ground with his hand, flew up, and Pu Dao slashed at the person who attacked him.

The man didn't seem to expect that Ye Fu's reaction would be so fast, and he was frightened at that time. subconsciously raised the knife to block it, but where was the short knife in his hand that was the opponent of Ye Fu's Pu knife that killed the enemy.

With a single blow, the dagger immediately bounced out.

Ye Fu won the momentum with one move, and naturally took advantage of the victory to pursue.

At this time, Jin Yichuan had already reacted.

Jin Yichuan came to find Ye Fu, but he didn't see him go to sleep so late, he was a little worried, and came out to take a look. He didn't have a weapon in his hand, so if he fought with a knife, he would naturally have a disadvantage.

But at this time, the opponent's short knife was out of his hand, and he had no weapons for a while. And there is no echo around, obviously only this one person. Jin Yichuan is also a person who has been in battle for a long time, and he will be merciful to an enemy with bare hands. immediately crossed over Ye Fu and firmly controlled the man in one fell swoop.

Ye Fu saw that Jin Yichuan was restraining people, so he also retracted his sword momentum and stopped attacking.

At this time, the other people who heard the sound of the fight were also already startled. When he ran over, he saw Jin Yichuan holding a guy dressed as an ordinary villager.

Although the Western Route Army was destroyed under Juniper, after Liu Wei took over as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, he must re-recruit troops on the original basis. Therefore, even if Juniper was dismissed and imprisoned, the people of the Western Route Army still could not be dispatched at will. However, because of the timely report of Ye Fu in the battle of Salhu, Liu Wei was able to make great contributions. Therefore, Liu Wei is still very good to Ye Fu.

Originally, he didn't collect hundreds of households at night, and he was transferred to the garrison of Sanyang, and at most he could only bring a few people with him. However, Liu Wei generously assigned a general flag and fifty officers and soldiers who did not collect at night to him and took them away.

In the battle of Salhu, Jin Yichuan also rose with Ye Fushui, and what Ye Fu took away at this time was the general flag under the jurisdiction of Jin Yichuan. In addition, there were also five hunters who Yang Wutian arranged for him to lead the way that day. Yang Wutian led the whole family to move to live elsewhere that night, and Yang Xiao and the other five followed Ye Fu, and Ye Fu also promised to give them the opportunity to make contributions in the future and find a good background.

Except for a few soldiers who were stationed as sentry posts in various places, the rest of the people gathered around one after another when they heard the sound. Naturally, a small flag officer commanded his soldiers to step forward and control the captured assassins for Jin Yichuan.

The assassin was surrounded by so many soldiers that he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. was cut and knelt on the ground with his hands cut back, and begged for mercy at Ye Fu, "Master Jun, Master Jun, you don't remember villains, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, you must not be like me, villain...... The villain has no bad intentions......"

"Nonsense!" Ye Fu snorted, stopped the assassin's words for himself, and looked at the person in front of him with a cold gaze.

Through the moonlight reflected in the snow, Ye Fu saw that this person was dressed as an ordinary villager, and he looked like he was in his early twenties. Whether it is the hairstyle or the appearance, it doesn't look like a tartar at all, but it really looks like a homeless person.
