Chapter Seventy-Five: War Without Gunpowder

The weather at the beginning of December was a little colder than usual.

Snow-covered Jinzhou City, outside the eastern city.

Early this morning, the snowflakes were very small, and the bits and pieces of snowflakes couldn't even wet their clothes.

The wind was very strong, and the cold wind howled angrily, blowing the various battle flags in the hands of the soldiers, and the hunting sound.

In the cold and biting "whirring" wind, a soldier dressed in black clothes and black armor walked out of various large farms in the west of Jinzhou City.

Then, the soldiers went straight across Jinzhou City and came to the east city to assemble in formation.

There is no way, the current Jinzhou City has gathered 5 million construction corps, and 500,000 soldiers of the new army.

There are too many people, and the small city of Jinzhou can't accommodate so many people anyway.

Then, in the past month, in the west of Jinzhou City, on both sides of the super official road, the exquisite farms built have become the shelter of the vast majority of people.

And the huge construction corps, got up early in the morning, had breakfast, and one step ahead of the soldiers, they went out of the east gate of Jinzhou City and began the work in full swing.

According to the plan, the five divine beast field legions will set off in a while, with divisions and regiments as units, lined up from south to north.

They were going to use the momentum of horizontal pushing and crushing to completely sweep all the areas within a hundred miles of the Tartars close to them.

This was done to protect the 5 million construction corps from being attacked by the Tartars while they were building roads.

The previous patrol team was attacked by a Tartar cow.

Although they were quickly eliminated, it was not good for them to cause panic among the people.

The Construction Corps will take a step back, and they will first extend the super official road from Jinzhou City to the east, and then divide it into two.

All the way, he was responsible for advancing Daguan Road and Da Farm to the end of the West Liaoning Corridor at the same time, all the way to the edge of the Da Liao River.

All the way, the Daguan Road was extended to the north and connected with the various Great Wall passes in the Western Liaoning Corridor to ensure the absolute control of the imperial court over the various Great Wall passes.

The construction corps of this road is also responsible for the renovation and reinforcement of the various Great Wall passes in the Western Liaoning Corridor, and firmly cut off the Tartars' intention to break through the pass.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, drink this bowl of wine. I await your triumphant return. ”

Zhu Youxiao was not verbose, and said directly to Sun Chuanting and the five army commanders in front of him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to them."

He suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "In the territory of the Tartars, improvisation is a must. ”

"However, you must firmly remember one thing: any military action must be based on the interests of the Ming Empire!"

"Any behavior that harms the interests of the Ming Empire must be severely punished! No toleration! ”

He was doing a great job for these generals.

And the officers and men have already marched in formation, under the command of the division commanders of each corps, with divisions and regiments as units, rushing towards each of the proposed targets!

"Thank you, Your Majesty! We'll be successful! ”……

Sun Chuanting and the others shouted in unison, raised their heads and drank the wine in the big bowl in their hands.

Afterwards, everyone said goodbye to the emperor, and galloped away without looking back.

Zhu Youxiao looked ahead, stood quietly for a while, watched the backs of several generals disappear, turned around, and took Li Dingguo, Hao Shaoqi, and Hong'er back to the city lord's mansion.

"Li Dingguo, you immediately inform the officers and men of the Guards to prepare for the expedition, especially to bring enough flint, salt, ammunition and other necessities for life and battle."

Sitting on the tiger skin chair in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhu Youxiao commanded Li Dingguo and the others.

"I have already decided, in three days, I will take your boy guards and go deep into the hinterland of the Tartars, exterminate the living forces of the Tartars, and let them catch fire in their backyards, and take care of themselves."

"The Liaodong Peninsula will be swept by the five divine beast legions, and we will go east and north, using the method of running with one blow to make the Tartars scorched."

"Of course, the most important thing is to snatch the cattle, horses, money and food of the Tartars, and rescue the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong who are suffering."

The more Zhu Youxiao spoke, the more angry he became, and he took the case, "He is Emperor Taiji, and now he is not only thinking about the beginning of spring next year, but also going westward to conquer the Mongolian tribes. Now they have also sent several Eight Banners soldiers to harass and attack us. ”

"I want to see, how many people are sent to death after his post-gold? How much loss of personnel can be sustained! ”

"Kou can come, I can also go! Etiquette is the way to hospitality. ”

"We are the Ming Empire, but we are civilized people."

"Then Huang Taiji, you still want to conquer the Mongolian tribes? Go for his big spring and autumn dreams! ”

"Huh?" ……

Li Dingguo, Hao Shaoqi, and Hong'er were stunned when they heard it, and then they were ecstatic.

"Yes!" ……

The three of them immediately turned pale, their eyes jumped with infinite joy, and they immediately led the order and left quickly.

Before they left the City Lord's Mansion, they were shouting one after another:

"I knew that our guards, but the Son of Heaven's own army, how could they just watch from the sidelines?"

"Hahaha! This time, I can finally have a good time! ”

"Li Dingguo, do you want to have another killing competition?"

"Compare to compare! Who's afraid of whom! ”……

At this time, the three of them can be regarded as happy, even Li Dingguo, who is young and old, is so excited that he has recovered his youthful temperament.

Speaking of which, the Guards Scouts have never killed a Tartar, and they are very curious about the legendary and extremely ferocious Tartars.

The best way to prove the Guards is to defeat and exterminate the Tartar armies.

The three of them were already impatient, and they shouted out of the city lord's mansion, so they flew to their respective mounts at the gate, and galloped wildly on their horses.

The soldiers patrolling the streets and the people along the way were very curious to get out of the way, stand on the side of the road, and watch these young teenagers dressed as generals gallop towards the Boy Scout camp outside the city.

Everyone is talking:

"It looks like those baby soldiers outside the city are also going to go on the march."

"Yes! Those baby soldiers look very mighty, and our babies are shouting from time to time that they want to join the baby soldiers and fight the tartars! ”

"Even if it's ......, I don't know, Your Majesty the Emperor, when will you recruit troops again? My three children are muttering at home all day. ”

"It's better to be a soldier! You can find a Tartar to take revenge, and you can get a lot of silver! ”

"It's not just silver! I heard that you can also exchange your military achievements for fields! ”

"That's right! Ordinary people, after five years, each person can only get five acres of land, and soldiers do not have such restrictions, and I heard that they can exchange military merits for a maximum of 10,000 acres of land. ”……

As time passed, the discussion of the people in the city not only did not subside, but intensified, and in this cold winter, there was a feeling of being in full swing.

It can be seen from this that Li Yan's Propaganda Department has now taken full action and has begun to wage a long-term war without gunpowder against those rebel ministers and families in the south in an all-round way.
