In the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan has always been regarded as a remote place, the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, Yunnan people have a far less impression of the emperor than the Qianguo Gong of Shizhen Yunnan, and there is no deep feeling for the earth-shattering changes that have occurred in the north, it seems that everything is very far away from them, until the Yongli Emperor moved to Kunming, Yunnan did not know that the capital division of the Ming Dynasty has been occupied by the Manchurian Tartars, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also driven to Yunnan by the Manchurians.

Now, the people in Kunming are proud of the presence of the Son of Heaven, and the words that are heard the most in teahouses, restaurants and streets every day are "at the feet of the Son of Heaven". However, after only a few months of bustling in the city, the situation suddenly became tense. Because Sun Kewang drove the former soldiers to invade Yunnan, Kunming City was in a state of semi-martial law, and there were Ming troops at all gates to check the people entering and leaving, lest Sun Kewang's spies enter the city and cause chaos. The city also conducted an inventory of the residents from time to time, and there were even rumors that the Son of Heaven was about to leave Kunming again, because the army of King Sun Kewang of Qin was about to be killed. This rumor made the people in Kunming panic, and it was no longer as lively as when the Son of Heaven came.

On this morning, a strange team came from outside the north city of Kunming. The party carried a dozen wagons and mule carts, and looked like an ordinary caravan. But when you look closer, this team exudes a different smell from the caravan - ordinary caravans usually only have a few dozen people, but this team has hundreds of people, and all of them are strong men, and everyone still wears knives at their waists. The few people led by him exuded a murderous aura all over their bodies, making people dare to look from afar but not close.

Yunnan is now a special period, in order to strengthen the defense capability of Kunming City. Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, specially transferred his elite soldiers and horses to garrison the city gates, and the soldiers under the command of the king of Jin were stationed at the north gate, and the deputy general Liang Mingyuan commanded these soldiers.

Liang Mingyuan was born in the Great Western Army. In the early years, he had been following Zhang Xianzhong to create a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, and after the Great Western Army joined forces with the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty, Liang Mingyuan became an official of the Ming Dynasty. However, the change of identity did not make Liang Ming far from adapting, he participated in the two battles of the King of Jin and the two famous kings, and the victory was not small, and he was promoted to the deputy general with merit, and he was only one step away from being able to sit on one side. This time, if he hadn't been named by King Jin to stay in Kunming. Liang Mingyuan is now only afraid that he has already led his troops to meet Sun Kewang's front army, and he has no choice but to make meritorious service and be promoted to the chief soldier.

When the soldiers guarding the gate noticed a strange team outside the city, Liang Mingyuan was watching his elephants train the war elephants they had obtained from Tusi. When he heard the news, he immediately led people to the city gate.

The strange team did not enter the city immediately, but stopped two miles outside the city, and Liang Ming looked from a distance on the city gate tower, and saw what the leader of the other party was ordering. Then the sturdy men took off the short sweatshirts they were wearing one by one. New clothes were pulled out of the carriage and put on them.

Liang Mingyuan could see clearly that those sturdy men were wearing the clothes of the Ming army, which made him feel a little relieved.

A soldier shouted: "General, they have raised the flag!" ”

Liang Mingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked at it, the other party really put out a banner, with three big Chinese characters written on it - "Taiping Army".

The Taipings? Whose soldiers and horses are this?

Liang Mingyuan was surprised, and after searching in his mind for a long time, there was no information about the Taiping Army.

The Taiping army outside the city knew the rules very well. Knowing that Kunming is now the place where the Son of Heaven is stationed, foreign soldiers cannot enter the city casually. As a rule, you must wait outside the city gate for the soldiers and horses to be brought in, and if you don't follow this rule, that is, the 800-mile expedited military situation is fast, otherwise, no matter which way you are supervising the general army's subordinates, you must honestly accept interrogation under the city gate, otherwise, you will be determined to rebel - can you be a soldier who enters at will?

However, it seems that the Taiping army outside the city did not really understand the rules, they did not send people to contact the city gate guards, but stayed there after raising the flag. This is unreasonable, you don't explain what you want to do in Kunming City, is it just to stay outside the city for a while?

Liang Mingyuan was responsible for defending the city, and he was naturally a little wary of the Taiping army of unknown origin, and seeing that the other party had not sent someone to contact him, he wanted to send someone to interrogate the details and origin of this Taiping army, at this time, the soldiers around him exclaimed again: "Lubu! General, they're beating out the lubu! ”

Lubu?!

Liang Mingyuan was shocked again, and sure enough, the Taiping Army really typed out Lubu with words on it for reporting victory.

After being shocked, Liang Mingyuan was furious, an unheard-of soldier and horse actually learned from His Royal Highness the King of Jin that year, and the famous king played Lubu to report the victory. Damn is so shameless!

Could it be that your Taiping army also cut down two Tartar princes!

It's impossible!

Looking at the world, in addition to our Great Western Army, which Ming army can beat the Manchurian Tartars! If they really beat the Tartars, why should they win over our Great Western Army to die for them!

"Come with me, Lao Tzu wants to see where this Taiping Army is sacred, and dare to show his victory in front of our masters!"

Liang Mingyuan snorted angrily and led people down the city gate building and went out of the city. A group of soldiers also rushed out of the city angrily, they were all elites who participated in the Battle of Guilin and the Battle of Hengyang, where could they stand the victory of outsiders in front of them.

The soldiers do have the capital of anger and the qualifications of pride, and their pride is made by them with their blood. Even if these soldiers suffered two defeats in Guangdong later, they never thought that they could not defeat the Qing soldiers in Guangdong, they thought that they only lost to the disease and the strong city, otherwise why did the Guangdong Qing army dare not go out of the city to pursue a single step when they retreated.

Those who are soldiers have the pride of being soldiers, and now some people are openly showing their victories in front of their own soldiers, and of course these soldiers are not angry. If it's true, it's easy to say, but if it's false, these soldiers can beat the Taiping army down on the spot, so that they know what they can do and what they can't do!

Liang Mingyuan angrily led his subordinates to the Taiping Army's team, while looking at the dozen or so carriages.

Look at the carriage, there is a doorway, you can't look at what is on it, you have to look at the wheel prints. But if the mark is deep, the contents of the car must be heavy. Obviously, the carriage of the Taiping army did not contain much goods, because the wheel marks were not deep.

Liang Mingyuan didn't think much about what was in the carriage, he noticed that the people of the Taiping Army really looked like that, but it only seemed that they could fight, and this alone was not enough to convince Liang Mingyuan that the Taiping Army had the qualifications to show victory. He rode to the front of the Taiping army and shouted: "What kind of soldiers and horses are you, what are you doing in Kunming, and why are you holding Lubu high?" ”

"Back to this general's words, we are on the order of the named Chaozhou General Soldier, and we have come to report the victory to the court and the Son of Heaven!" (To be continued.) )
