Chapter 198: The Deterrent Power of Birds of Prey (For all book friends who voted for the monthly ticket)
"Well, everyone's movements are still quite fast."
Looking at the soldiers of the Royal Guards Firearms Brigade who had just been brought by himself yesterday evening, Changding Fort was now in good order, and there was no more chaos, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.
This Changding Fort, its scale and importance, are not as good as the Changning Fort on the edge of the Great Wall in the southwest.
Changning Fort is close to the Great Wall, and the Liao River flows through it, which is an extremely important military location.
At the beginning of yesterday afternoon, when the army set out from Anshan Post and swept to the northwest, it arrived at Nachangning Fort first.
Because this Changning Fort and Changding Fort are the only two military fort strongholds in the west of Liaoyang City and the Great Wall, the Tartars have not a lot of troops here, and the two military forts have three Niu Lu's soldiers and thousands of clothed minions to guard.
But this kind of strength is vulnerable to the Royal Guards Firearms Brigade.
In just one afternoon, both Changning Fort and Changding Fort were fought by the soldiers, and did not cause any trouble to the soldiers of the firearms brigade.
Also, even the defense line of the military fort as important as Anshan Station, the Tartars have no resistance, let alone these two small military forts.
Although these two military forts are not large, they are the targets that must be captured before launching a major battle against Liaoyang City.
After all, to the west of Liaoyang City, there are only these two Tartar strongholds, and beyond the Great Wall, it is the huge Liaohetao area.
However, now the territory of Duoyan Sanwei outside the Great Wall, with a wave of Dolgon's "three-light policy" swept away, and later the two Dolgon brothers led their clansmen to leave, and Cao Bianjiao led the Xuanwu Army and a garrison army to the north to fully occupy it.
Moreover, that Cao Bianjiao is not a guy who keeps to himself.
After occupying the territory of the original Duoyan Sanwei, he left the garrison corps that went north with the Xuanwu Legion, responsible for guarding the millions of people of the Royal Construction Brigade here, and carried out the construction of two basic national policies.
Then, he led the army to the northeast of the prairie and began a sweep, until he occupied the grassland within a radius of hundreds of miles in the Liaohetao area in one fell swoop, and then temporarily stopped his military operations.
Now, the entire northeastern border of the Ming Dynasty has expanded to an area about the size of two Shuntianfu, which can be regarded as a huge natural horse farm, which can solve the problem of stocking most of the existing cattle, sheep and horses.
Now after a series of actions to bleed the Tartars and grab territory, the Ming Empire now has a lot of cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, which are millions, of course, you have to find a huge natural pasture to graze.
"Your Majesty?
At this time, a person walked out of a nearby house, and as soon as he went out, he saw Zhu Youxiao and exclaimed in surprise.
"Slave and maid, see Your Majesty!"
This guy is the little nobleman, he hurriedly trotted over and said goodbye.
He said that he was an extremely shrewd and cunning fellow, and he was the best at seeing the seams.
Therefore, after more than half a year, the Ming Royal Military Intelligence Bureau was on the right track, and he, who had already controlled the overall situation, rushed to the emperor's side from the capital yesterday and obeyed the call.
He deeply knows that no matter how big his current official is, he is not as good as staying by the emperor's side.
And the current emperor's personal expedition is an excellent excuse for him to come and stay by His Majesty the Emperor's side justifiably.
"Your Majesty, last night, the slave maid received important information from several fighting chickens one after another, and I have to report it to you."
He can deal with the general information himself, but these pieces of information are very important, so he had to get up early and report to the emperor.
Because the stalls are now spreading out more and more, and there are more and more legions, plus the formation of the two fleets of the Imperial Navy, there are too few battle chickens used to carry out the flying chicken passing, and it is not possible to equip one battle chicken for one legion.
Therefore, since Zhu Youxiao returned to the capital from Xuanfu Town, he ordered to collect twenty-three more pheasants, and it took more than ten days to raise them and meet the requirements of strengthening.
During this time, his daily enhancement opportunities were basically used to strengthen the fighting chicken.
In another half a month or so, there will be a lot of fighting chicken series worthy of the name, from F1 to F35.
In that case, there are thirty-five battle chickens, which are used to carry out the flying chicken transmission of various legions, as well as the equipment of various key departments of the Ming Empire, which is enough.
And now in a chaotic situation, in order to speed up the efficiency of the latest intelligence collection and transmission, the few combat chickens that have just been strengthened are first distributed to the Royal CIA and the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Therefore, now Xiao Guizi, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, can have a few combat chickens to use, which greatly enhances the efficiency of intelligence transmission.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw that the emperor was already wandering leisurely at the gate of the main castle early in the morning, so he immediately came to meet him.
"Oh?"
Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised, "Okay, then let's go in and talk about it." ”
He knew that with the ability of the little nobleman, it was impossible not to know the severity and would not bother him rashly.
He turned and walked into the main fort, heading towards the back garden.
The main fort of this Changding Fort is not big, and the building is not high, which makes people feel a little depressed, so it is better to go to the back garden to sit.
The little noble son naturally didn't dare to overstep, quietly took a step behind, and followed Zhu Youxiao to the back garden with low eyebrows.
In the pavilion, Zhu Youxiao looked at the little nobleman who was standing slightly bowed and restrained, and was a little funny: "You guy, I just left the capital not long ago, and you are so afraid of me?" ”
He knew this kid's temperament very well: the degree of loyalty was sufficient, but it was too slippery, and he had to beat him from time to time.
But he didn't know that as soon as this little noble son entered the back garden, he saw the two big golden eagles playing not far away, and he suddenly felt a little cold.
As the head of the military intelligence of the entire Ming Empire, he understands the horror of these two golden eagles.
Not to mention anything else, just yesterday evening, when the army attacked this Changding Fort in one fell swoop, when the situation was controlled, His Majesty the Emperor entered the gate of Changding Fort.
Suddenly, two golden rays of light fell from the sky and rushed straight into a mansion near the left side of the main street in the city, tearing apart several Tartars hiding in the cellar in an instant!
The scene at that time was what Xiao Guizi saw with his own eyes, and it was extremely terrifying.
Even the house where those Tartars are hiding, just look at the current little nobles.
Because as soon as that kind of opening is opened, it is estimated that all the ministers of civil and military affairs will feel that they have no sense of security, and they will shrink back from doing things, and they will not dare to let go, and most of them will be frightened.
That kind of extremely unfavorable consequence is something that Zhu Youxiao must try his best to put an end to.
At that time, at least for the time being, I guess I'm really alone.
In the minds of the ministers, they will inevitably fall into the image of a real tyrant, which is extremely detrimental to their own rule over this huge empire.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao has always tried his best to restrain these mutated beasts of prey and birds of prey, just let them be responsible for the transmission of messages, and use them as a hole card to protect himself and the royal family.
"Little Guizi, you relax a little, Dajin is very well-behaved."
He looked at the little Guizi with a smile, "As long as they are not bad people, they won't be mad at all, just get used to it." ”
"Sit down."
Then, he asked Xiao Guizi to sit on the stone bench opposite, "If there is any news, you can tell me about it." ”。
He also wanted to know that now that the situation was good, it stands to reason that there would be no more unexpected changes.
What news will make Xiao Guizi, who is striding in the direction of "old yin", will report it solemnly.
