1025 Decisive Battle

At the military parade ceremony a year ago, Li Zicheng looked at the majestic parade troops, lined up in a neat phalanx, and boasted in front of many people, civil and military officials, and the emperor with great dignity. In this regard, as a member of the military, he is naturally extremely envious.

But at this moment, he no longer envied others. He has absolute self-confidence, and he will wait for others to envy him in the future!

His subordinates, who were also extremely excited, followed Li Zicheng, knelt on the ground with fists clenched, and shouted in unison: "Die for Your Majesty, and never regret dying!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them, smiled and stretched out his hands, and gestured weakly: "All the soldiers are flat!" ”

When Li Zicheng and the others all got up and stood there solemnly again, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at the large phalanx on the right, his face became serious, and he asked seriously: "Your predecessors are about to graduate and go on the expedition, go to the frontier for my Ming Dynasty, defend the country, and expand the territory!" Give a military salute to your seniors and bless them! ”

Hearing this request, the soldiers of the phalanx on the left and right sides all bowed, but they immediately reacted, and immediately, the freshmen turned to Li Zicheng and them, and at the same time they would not be rude to the emperor, they raised their hands and saluted, with a solemn expression.

When Li Zicheng and the others saw it, no one gave them an order, and they also turned sideways to face the freshman phalanx, raised their hands and saluted in response.

On the square, the cold wind is howling, but everyone's heart is hot at this time. Regardless of the new and old students, everyone's blood is boiling and the mood is stirring. At this time, they definitely did not expect that this process of theirs would become the standard ceremony for each class of soldiers to graduate and each class of freshmen to enter the Ming Advanced Military Arsenal Hall in the future.

The graduates entered various units to serve the country, and the new students blessed their predecessors with the rest of their lives and made meritorious contributions.

After the ceremony, he bid farewell to the emperor, stepped on the war horse that had been prepared, went out of the camp gate, faced the cold wind, and went away.

Emperor Chongzhen watched them disappear at the gate of the camp, and the same excitement in his heart slowly calmed down, but he was still very happy. This Li Zicheng will be very different from the fate in the original history. I hope that he can occupy Siberia for the Ming Dynasty, and he will also leave a name for future generations, and will have a reputation countless times better than the original history.

When he returned to the palace and Emperor Chongzhen took a break, he entered the chat group and found that there was news from Yunnan that King Dongwu Talong had raised his army and marched north to fight a decisive battle with the imperial army.

"Hehe, judging from the previous signs, then King Talong thinks that he has rebelled against the two Tusi armies, so he thinks he can win this decisive battle?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile in his heart, "In that case, then I should also let Wen Tiren prepare for it, and when I go back, I should announce the affairs of the vassal king's overseas feudalism!" ”

Since Zhu Xieyuan's reminder, Min Hongxue has secretly strengthened the monitoring of various toasts. In addition, part of the factory guards also went to Yunnan and were also watching in secret. After this two-pronged approach, the messages were summarized in the chat group, analyzed by Min Hongxue, and sure enough, problems were found.

As for Tang Wang, although he was in the chat group, according to Min Hongxue's suggestion, he didn't let him know about it. After all, Tang Wang is young and has never experienced major events. I'm afraid that if he can't hold his breath and reveal something, it's not good to startle the snake. Min Hongxue wanted to take this opportunity to let King Long take the bait and solve Dongwu's main force in one fell swoop, and then he could raise troops to the south and capture the entire territory of Dongwu.

In the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen clicked on Wen Tiren's icon, told him about it, and asked him to prepare, and at the end, he reminded again: "I am concerned about the battle of Dongwu, and when the decisive battle has an eyebrow and ensures victory, the world can be announced, and at the same time the auction of the land belonging to the Tang King will be held." ”

Since Emperor Chongzhen threw out the trivial matters, the cabinet, including the first assistant Wen Tiren, has been busy like a dog. After all, with such a large territory as the Ming Dynasty, so many things are happening, and it is a very large workload to summarize it to the cabinet and ask them to give advice on how to deal with it. Relatively speaking, the celebrant only judged whether the cabinet's disposition advice was reasonable, but the workload was much smaller.

Therefore, Wen Tiren does not know much about the progress of Dongwu's side. At this time, when I heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, if the Tang King's feudal Dongwu thing can be completed, then the Tang King's land can be taxed after the auction, and this land endowment is not much compared to the entire treasury income. But if all the fields of the vassal kings in the world can be taxed in the future, then this income will be high!

In addition, there is a very big benefit, that is, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the number of clans has reached an unbearable level. So much so that from the Jiajing Dynasty onwards, the new clan was made difficult, and even not recognized for a long time, in order to avoid the heavier and heavier burden of the clan. If it goes any further, I don't know how many clans there will be, and the empire is really unbearable.

But if all the feudal kings are overseas, then the clans of these feudal kings will naturally have to go overseas. Moreover, their fortune is naturally borne by the vassal kings who have become a country of their own. This will put down a very heavy package for the Ming Empire! This situation is good for both the Ming Dynasty and the clan, and it can be regarded as a win-win situation!

Wen Tiren thought of the benefits of feudal overseas vassals, and he couldn't help but be very concerned about the war on Dongwu's side. After all, as the first case of Tang Wang's feudal Dongwu, whether it can succeed or not will affect the national policy of the subsequent feudal kings overseas, so he was very worried, so he replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, why don't you wait for the army to occupy the entire territory of Dongwu, and then announce it?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he understood his worries, and immediately said to him: "Our army has mastered the situation in this battle, but King Talong knows nothing about it, and thinks that he can cooperate with the outside world. In addition, the White Pole Army has also secretly arrived in Yunnan and is resting. When the war was almost over, he suddenly appeared, believing that he had cried as long as the king had. Wen Qing just needs to prepare, and wait for me to come back and give you good news! “

"The old minister obeys!" Wen Tiren saw this message, put most of his mind in his heart, and followed the order.

One of the main characters in their conversation, King Dongwutaron is leading a large army north.

The route he chose was to go upriver along the Dajinsha River. In this way, his navy can transport grain and grass materials, which saves a lot of labor, and the consumption on the road is smaller. On the surface of the river, the dense ships almost blocked the river. Among them, not only warships, but also other ships. It was the king of Thalon who ordered the collection of all the ships he could to transport the needs of the army. In addition, there are countless people who are used to draw fiber along the way.

On this river, sailing ships cover the sky and the sun, and on this riverside, there are endless marching armies. Among them, the most numerous are ordinary foot soldiers, dressed simply, and if you don't know, you think it's just a man who picked up a weapon. Of course, there are also elite foot soldiers, just near the Chinese army, there are cloth armor, cotton armor, and iron armor. Some of them carried a round shield on their backs and a waist knife at their waists, which were sword and shield soldiers; Others, walking empty-handed, their weapons are long shields, and it is impossible to carry them on the march by themselves, and it is impossible to transport them on ships, and in case of war, they will not have time to equip them. Therefore they carried the long shields in their chariots, and the men helped them to drive the carts and push them; others carried a bow on their backs and hung a few pots of arrows, which were archers;

Of all the troops, the most notable are the cavalry and elephants. Especially the elephant army, tall and big, those cavalry walking in front of and behind them, when compared, it is really not enough to see. Now it is only a marching state, so the elephant does not wear a rattan coat, and when the rattan armor is hung in wartime, the damage of the bow and arrow to the elephant can be negligible. In the middle of the battlefield, the elephant is on a rampage, who can stop it? It can be said that this elephant army is the trump card in the hands of King Talong.

King Talon himself did not ride in a boat, but rode on an elephant. The elephant is white and is an adult elephant with a special saddle on its back that can seat three or more people. This saddle is different from other saddles in that it has a lid to block the sun.

King Ta Long sat there, looking at the army on the riverside, and his heart was also full of pride. Suddenly, he pointed to the marching army with his hand and asked the important ministers beside him: "There is an idiom in the Ming Kingdom, throw the whip and cut off the stream, and the lonely army can also do it, right?" ”

"That's nature, Your Highness's army, far beyond the Ming army, this battle, I will win!"

When King Ta Long heard this, he glanced at him, and felt very comfortable in his heart, and he had reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the two Tusi, but he didn't say anything about it. After all, this fact is too important, and it is better to keep it secret! Because, the reply of the important ministers around him made him feel very good when he held the hole cards!

At this time, several knights galloped in front of him, who were his cronies and generals, and also his vanguard generals. This made him frown a little, it's not good to sit in the front, what are you doing with the Chinese army?

Dongwu's war horse, far from being compared with the horses in the north of the Ming Dynasty, looks much smaller, he Long Wang had to lower his head, looking at his cronies and vanguards will run in front of him, looking at his sweat, knowing that he is in a hurry, he frowned and asked: "What's the matter, but there is something ahead?" ”

If there is something ahead, the main general should stay there instead of running to the Chinese army in person.

He saw his vanguard army saddle and dismount, knelt down on one knee and prepared to make a speech, but to his little embarrassment, King Ta Long did not let the elephant stop, but walked forward. So, he had to stand up again, rushed over and raised his head and said: "Your Highness, the vanguard scouts of our army have discovered that the Ming army is not collecting at night, and there have been many battles. Now, the news of our army's attack is probably known to the Ming army. ”

"That's it?" When King Ta Long heard this, he couldn't help but be a little unhappy and said, "You shouldn't have come to the Chinese army!" ”

Just now, he didn't let the elephant stop, in fact, he was expressing his dissatisfaction.

The vanguard general naturally received this signal, but he still insisted on saying what he thought in his heart, so he heard him play loudly: "Your Highness, the soldiers are fast, our army should attack quickly, and try to capture Meng Mi before the Ming army is assembled!" According to the current marching speed, by the time we reach Mengmi, the Ming army in Mubang, Mengyang and other places, and even the Ming army in other places have already rushed to Mengmi for reinforcements, and at that time, it will be too difficult for our army to defeat Mengmi! ”

The direction of their army was to Mengmi, the closest city to Ava that was captured by the Ming army.

Listening to his loud exhortation, King Ta Long looked anxious, and could not help but loosen his brows. There is an internal response to this matter, not only the important ministers do not know, even his henchmen and generals do not know. Not only for secrecy, but also for the sake of once this trump card is used, so as to win the Ming army, it can increase his prestige more effectively. King Ta Long is only the younger brother of the previous king, and he can get to this point today because he is good at manipulating people's hearts.

I have to say that King Talong is indeed a cunning person, and in other words, Dongwu's side is a wise monarch. The word "King Talong" means "king who died during the prosperity of the country". It can be seen that its ability is indeed there.

At this time, after listening to the advice of his generals, he smiled slightly, revealing a confident demeanor, and replied lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, Gu just wants to give the Ming army this opportunity, let them gather the armies from all over the country in Mengmi, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop!" ”

Speaking of this, he looked down at the eyes of the generals below, revealing a little majesty and said: "Do you have no confidence in Lone Strategy, or do you feel that you don't have this ability, and you are afraid of the Ming army?" ”

As soon as he heard this, his vanguard general was excited, and immediately knelt down on one knee to express his loyalty: "How can the last general be afraid of those bright dogs, the last ...... Weekend...... Death ......"

The elephant still didn't stop, and when he knelt down, he could only see the elephant's buttocks, and the little tail on the buttocks. So he got up, hurried to follow, and after once more expressing his loyalty and ability, he turned on his horse and hurried forward.

Since His Royal Highness has such ambitions, as His Highness's henchman vanguard general, how can he show weakness, it's a big deal, he has repaid the favor of His Highness by dying in battle. The vanguard general thought so in his heart while galloping on horseback, but he immediately came to his senses again, and he thought like this, as if he was afraid of the Ming army, which really shouldn't be. Think about your own king, in the past, he fought in the south and the north, and he never tasted defeat, and even Xiyi had such a sharp firearm, so he was not defeated and hanged by the king. What's wrong with the Ming army, even if you gather a large army, if you have to believe in your own king, you will definitely win the Ming army this time!

Thinking like this, his confidence was even stronger, and after reaching the vanguard army, he passed down the general's order, resolutely implemented the will of King Long, and controlled the vanguard army to slowly approach Meng Mi, giving the Ming army a chance to assemble.

The Ming army did not collect the news of the Dongwu army to Mengmi at night, and as expected by King Talong, the Ming army from all over the country also rushed to Mengmi, and a decisive battle between the main force of the Ming and Dongwu gradually took shape. Of course, the so-called main force of the Ming Dynasty is actually just an army on the Yunnan side, and Dongwu is the real soldier of the whole country.
