Volume 10 Chapter 23 Setting an example on the battlefield

After receiving the report of the 131st Regiment of the Dingliao Army, Zhu Cijiong immediately notified the nearby Ming troops to rush to the 131st Regiment in a closed situation, and at the same time, he personally led 60,000 cavalry to the battlefield, leaving only Shi Kefa as the commander!

Isn't Zhu Cijiong crazy, why did he go to the battlefield in person? In fact, he is not crazy at all, he has long had the idea of going to the battlefield in person, if not for anything else, just to establish an image, the image of an iron-blooded emperor, the emperor is so brave, can the soldiers of the three armies not have to die!

Of course, when he came to the battlefield, he also had to choose the right time, like his first few royal expeditions, facing the Houjin Iron Cavalry, not only did he have super combat effectiveness, but also artillery, although Cao Huachun and Qin Mingyue were both masters, and even real shells could be removed, but if the Jin Army aimed all the artillery at him, it was estimated that even if there were peerless masters on his side, it was estimated that he would not be able to protect him, so he did not come to the battlefield in person the first few times, it was too dangerous to take this risk.

Here I have to talk about Nurhachi, he also came to the battlefield as the lord of a country, and brought out the Houjin Iron Cavalry, which is called a brave man, but he just underestimated the power of artillery, and dared to stand up to the cannonballs, which iron bumps and flesh bumps are so hard, this doesn't need to be said, so he hung up.

Zhu Cijiong naturally wouldn't learn from Nurhachi to test artillery shells with his body, so in the face of Houjin with artillery, he honestly stayed behind and commanded every time, this time it was different, because the rebels didn't have artillery at all, not even muskets, at most there were just some bows and arrows, bows and arrows might be okay against ordinary people, but not good at dealing with masters, not to mention Cao Huachun and Qin Mingyue, he could get rid of it himself, you must know that he has been practicing with Qin Mingyue for a few years, although his talent is not high, his skills are still slowly coming up, Dozens of strong men are not necessarily close to him, so it is natural to dial an arrow or something.

It was not uncommon for the emperor to visit the battlefield in the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di were both fought on the battlefield, but they may not be as majestic as Zhu Cijiong, because the guards around him are too strong, they are ridiculously strong.

Not to mention the hundreds of brocade guards and Dongchang masters on the periphery, Qin Gongming, who opened the road in front, is a fierce general who can't be fiercer, and there are masters like Cao Huachun around him, even Qin Mingyue made an exception to put on a battle robe to guard his side, and he didn't even have a chance to make a move.

Such a group of people rushing into the battlefield was simply a disaster for the rebels, the cavalry of the rebels still had a certain advantage, but as soon as Zhu Cijiong arrived, the situation was completely reversed, in front of Jinyiwei and Dongchang masters, they didn't even have a chance to fight back, "brushing" a burst of swords and swords, and pieces of cavalry were so inexplicably covered with their necks and planted, the scene was simply weird and scary.

This kind of scene did not last long, just as Zhu Cijiong drew his sword and looked around, trying to find a fish to slash and chop, the rebels around him began to shout: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender." β€œ

At first, it was just hundreds or thousands of people shouting like this, but slowly this sound spread like a plague all over the battlefield, and almost all the rebels threw away their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Cijiong embarrassedly inserted the sword back into his waist and shouted: "Qin Gongming, lead the Liao army to clean up the battlefield, tie up all the leaders of the thieves and wait for them to be released, and the rest of the people have surrendered their weapons and concentrated guards." β€œ

Qin Gongming immediately said yes and obeyed, and immediately took the heralds and personal guards to gather people and horses to clean up the battlefield, and Zhu Cijiong said to Cao Huachun on the side: "Gonggong Cao, you go and see if the commander of the 131st Regiment is still alive, if he is alive, bring him to see me." β€œ

Cao Huachun replied and obeyed, and ran to the center of the battlefield on horseback, and soon, he returned, followed by a bloody man on horseback.

This person is naturally Li Mingfu, the commander of the 131 Regiment, his martial arts reputation is not fake, and his kung fu will naturally not be bad, although he is still brave in the face of ten times the enemy cavalry, there are no masters in the righteous army, and he can only use human life to kill him, which took less than half an hour, Zhu Cijiong led the army to rush in, so he has not been consumed to death, but he has been injured in many places and covered in blood.

At this time, when he heard that the emperor was coming, he naturally hurriedly threw everything away and ran over with Cao Huachun. He was not the guard of Jinyi Wei and Dongchang, so when he was still a hundred steps away from Zhu Cijiong's royal car, he turned over and jumped off the horse, ran quickly to the dragon flag, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The last general Li Mingfu will see the emperor." β€œ

Before Li Mingfu's words fell, he turned over and jumped off the horse, stepped forward, held it up, and said cordially: "General Li has worked hard, get up, get up, get up, the injury is not serious, or I will send the imperial doctor to come and bandage you." β€œ

Li Mingfu stood up respectfully and said excitedly: "If you go back to the emperor, the last general will be fine, and there is no need to bother the imperial doctor for this small injury." β€œ

Will you make him a combat hero or a cronie? Zhu Cijiong vaguely remembered that this person seemed to have participated in the palace examination, and he should be a martial artist, but he still had to understand his personality first, he patted Li Mingfu on the shoulder and praised: "Well, it's good, you can resist 100,000 thieves with 5,000 people, genius, genius!" β€œ

This is to see if Li Mingfu is modest or not, if he is a person who is proud of his merits, then there is nothing to cultivate, just reward him directly, fortunately Li Mingfu did not disappoint him, he was not proud when he heard the words, but said modestly: "I don't dare to be the emperor to praise him so much, the last general alone can't stop 100,000 thieves, and it all depends on the lives of his soldiers." β€œ

Zhu Cijiong nodded, pretending to be curious and asked, "Five thousand people face one hundred thousand thieves, if you don't escape, you will almost die, aren't you afraid of death?" β€œ

When Li Mingfu heard this, he showed a resolute expression and said loudly: "Back to the emperor, Weichen is not afraid of death, loyal to the country, although he has no regrets." β€œ

Well, it is a talent, worth cultivating, Zhu Cijiong said with relief: "Okay, what a loyal to the country, although there are no regrets in death, if I remember correctly, you are a martial artist, right?" β€œ

The emperor actually remembered him, Li Mingfu was even more excited, and he said in a trembling voice: "The emperor is not mistaken, the last general is the eighteen second-class martial arts in the seventh year of Chongzheng, and he was given the background of Jinshi by the emperor's grace. β€œ

Sure enough, it was his protΓ©gΓ©, so he had more cultivation prospects, he thought about it for a while, and then said to Cao Huachun on the side: "Cao Huachun, the purpose." β€œ

How can a decree be written on this battlefield? Zhu Cijiong is naturally not untargeted, he saw that Cao Huachun had been ordering people to bring the set of things that were intended to be carried, so he said this. Sure enough, Cao Huachun just waved when he heard this, and immediately a eunuch ran over with a huge sandalwood box on his back, respectfully placed the box in front of him, and skillfully took out the blank holy decree and pen and ink inside, placed it on the surface of the box, and waited for the emperor to speak.

Zhu Cijiong cleared his throat and said loudly: "Li Mingfu, the guerrilla general of the Dingliao Army, is brave in battle, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and has made great contributions to the fight against thieves. β€œ

This exemplary tree was directly promoted from a guerrilla general to a commander, and he was promoted five levels in a row! Zhu Cijiong just let the Ming soldiers understand that as long as they are brave in battle, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, the court will definitely be reused, and the emperor will definitely be promoted!
