On the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the army swore in Wugang Prefecture to march.

For the first time, Zhu Shunming's army appeared in full uniform. Not only were the common people and landlords and bureaucrats in Wugang Prefecture shocked, but even Zhu Shunming's family didn't know that Zhu Shunming had gathered such a huge and powerful force.

………………

From Wugang Prefecture to southern Yunnan, two or three thousand miles, up and down the mountain, all mountain roads, very difficult to walk.

On this expedition, Zhu Shunming was the general of the expedition to the west, and Li Dingguo was the deputy general.

The imperial court did not send a prison army. Probably except for Emperor Chongzhen, everyone else in the court thought that Zhu Shunming was a dead end, and no eunuch was willing to go to death, and the court did not think that Zhu Shunming could make any big waves when he arrived in southern Yunnan.

Thinking about the original rebellion of Lu'an, the imperial court lost hundreds of thousands of troops in Guizhou and Sichuan. Is Zhu Shunming's 20,000 troops stronger than the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court?

Fang Kongzhi also felt sorry for Zhu Shunming for a long time. Such a good martial artist, how could he offend Wen Cifu?

At the same time, Fang Kongzhi was also a little strange, this Zhu Shunming didn't look like a master to be manipulated, why did he go to die willingly?

It's easy to find an excuse to drag on for a year and a half. Didn't the imperial court even issue military salaries, grain and grass? I don't understand.

………………

The long march is the most tempering man.

The army marched thirty miles a day, and the wind and rain never stopped. The spies of the Intelligence Department dispersed and went to southern Yunnan to investigate intelligence; A hundred miles before the scout, all kinds of intelligence were constantly reported; The march and camp are never sloppy, and the camps are like small fortresses; From time to time, officers at all levels went down to the grassroots level to keep abreast of the physical and psychological conditions of the soldiers.

From Wugang Prefecture through Chenzhou Prefecture, enter the territory of Guizhou; Pass through Sizhou Mansion, Zhenyuan Mansion, Duyun Mansion, and enter Guiyang Mansion.

Along the way, the prefectures and counties learned that this army was Changsha Wei, and went to southern Yunnan alone to quell the rebellion, and they all looked at this group of high-morale and well-equipped soldiers with idiot eyes.

I've never seen someone who is so arrogant to death.

Zhu Er's stunned name soon spread in officialdom. Everyone knew that he had offended Wen Tiren, the most powerful second assistant in the court. Wen Cifu said a few words and gently gave tens of thousands of lives, which was terrible.

On June 15, Zhu Shunming led a large army to the city of Guiyang.

Hu Nianyun, governor of Guizhou, Zhu Maoshi, prefect of Guiyang, Shi Han, general of Yunnan and Guizhou, and other civil and military officials rewarded the army of the expedition to the west.

For the soldiers who have the courage to go to their deaths, everyone has great respect. Looking at the disciplined army in front of them, the officials of the army sighed, what a good army, but it is a pity that they will die in the court battle.

"Lord Zhu," Shi Han, the upright governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, admonished, "Maybe you don't know the situation in southern Yunnan yet. Kunming fell, and Mu Wangye fled to Chuxiong. To the east of Chuxiong, all the forces of the natives were strong. After Guiyang, it is the world of the natives. You are outnumbered, so you might as well ...... Garrisoned in Guiyang, waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court? ”

The rebellion in southern Yunnan was huge and had spread to many places in Guizhou, and the defense of Guiyang City was in jeopardy. Shi Han saw that Changshawei's soldiers and horses were well-trained, firstly, he did not want such elite soldiers to fall into the hands of the enemy, and secondly, he could strengthen the city defense of Guiyang, so he spoke lightly and warned Zhu Shunming.

Zhu Shunming smiled: "Thank you, Lord Shi." Military orders are like mountains, how can they be disobeyed? Just be careful. No matter how many natives there are, can't they kill them all? ”

Guiyang officials were stunned. Kill? This Zhu Er was so murderous. Could it be that another Li Chengliang has appeared?

At that time, Li Chengliang relied on 8,000 families to suppress the Northeast Jiannu, and frightened all ethnic groups in the Northeast and did not dare to move. Could it be that Zhu Shunming wants to emulate Li Chengliang?

Shi Han and the others naturally couldn't stop Zhu Shunming's path of wanting to make contributions, so they had to laugh, drink wine, eat vegetables and talk about Fengyue. One by one, Zhu Er was stunned and didn't know how thick the sky was.

………………

After resting in Guiyang for two days, the army continued to advance westward.

Less than a hundred miles out of Guiyang, in a hilly area called Gaofeng Town, the scouts found an ambush of the natives.

"How many ambushes are there? What weapons are there? Can there be cavalry, can there be artillery? Have you ever formed a formation? Have you ever formed a defensive stockade? Zhu Shunming asked.

"Hui Yu, there are about 1,000 natives, gathered on a low slope about ten zhang high, armed with scimitars, blowing arrows, spears and other weapons, no fortifications, no muskets and artillery."

Zhu Shunming was laughed at angrily. The momentum of this native is too strong, and he doesn't know the height of the sky at all.

"Li Dingguo, it's up to you." Zhu Shunming ordered: "Didn't you always say that you didn't fight well? This time it's up to you to let it go. Annihilate all enemies in front of you. Attention, it's all annihilation, don't let one go. ”

"Yes." Li Dingguo, who was young and old, showed a rare smile.

………………

"Daddy, we have few people, and the Han army has a lot of people. Can we fight? Punan worried.

Daddy Pu said disdainfully: "Han people are cowards. Back then, my dad and I chased after a dozen Han people to cut them alone, and we just cut down five or six of them, and let them kneel on the ground and beg for mercy before stopping. ”

Daddy bragged about the triumphant battle of the year.

The horn of "......" sounded.

"Dad, the Han people are coming, and the Han people are attacking...... Dad, no, the Han people attacked......" Punan was a little panicked.

"This Han people are too unruly." Father Pu hurriedly stood up and said angrily: "If you say you will fight, you won't even say hello, the Han people are too rude." ”

Li Dingguo's 1,000th household lined up in a dignified formation, with the shield soldiers in front, the sword soldiers followed closely to his left and right, the spearmen in the back, and the archers in the middle of the formation, slowly but firmly advancing towards the natives.

There are less than 1,000 natives, less than the 1,000th household in front of him. As soon as Li Dingguo attacked, the natives immediately panicked. The Han people actually dared to take the initiative to attack?

"Quick, quick, ...... arrow"

"Throw the spear ......"

"Rolling stones, push the stones. What the? Didn't prepare ......"

"Hold the scimitar well, the Han people are all ...... of the wrong species"

"It's better to retreat......

The natives are in a mess, and none of them can be the backbone of all kinds of ideas and ideas.

A group of rabble, with the momentum of rebellion, dared to intercept an army of tens of thousands of people. The momentum of the southwestern natives can be seen.

When I got closer, I could clearly see the panicked look on the native's face.

"Stop. Prepare, put. The army of the Thousand Households stopped advancing, and the archers fired their arrows diagonally towards the sky, and suddenly the arrows rained down.

As soon as a few rounds of arrow rain passed, the unsuspecting natives suffered heavy casualties, and the smell of blood in the sky blew out for miles in the wind.

At this time, the local people were indeed vigorous. After more than 30% of the casualties, the natives are still not discouraged, and their morale is still high. Out of anger or hatred, the morale of the natives was even higher.

Closer, closer, the Han army approached step by step, closer and closer, and you could see the calm eyes under the armor of the Han people. Pu Nan clenched the scimitar in his hand, thinking about the tragic situation of his father being shot as a hedgehog in front of him, Pu Nan felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling. Kill the Han people in front of you and avenge your father!

"Stop, raise the gun, stab."

The Han Chinese army stopped advancing, and suddenly stabbed a spear nearly a foot long from behind the shield, stabbing Pu Nan in the waist and abdomen.

"Woo......" Pu Nan rushed to the abdomen to cool down, the strength of the whole body quickly dissipated, and he didn't even have the strength to stand, so he had to lean on the slope, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, and his consciousness gradually merged with the heaven and earth, and he could no longer feel that he was a body.

"Eminem, I'm back, Jinhua, I'm back......" Punan felt happy and finally returned to his beloved.

A pale yellow butterfly with spots lingered on Punan's body, and soon danced in the wind and disappeared into the sky.
