Chapter 699: Triumph in the Expedition

With the chorus of the ministers, the golden chariot stopped in the center of the official road, and the warriors of the army quickly put a small low ladder under the chariot, and Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing golden bright light armor, slowly stepped down the ladder and stood in the center of the official road.

The ministers knelt down again to congratulate Qi He.

Zhu Houzhao's appearance is much more stable than ten years, and now he is twenty-eight years old, and he also has a half-inch-long clear beard under his chin, and his face, which was still immature at the time, is now a little more weathered.

In the past ten years, Zhu Houzhao has not made much progress, he is still a mediocre and playful character, it seems that he has already set a lofty goal for himself, to live to old age, play until old age, and rest until death. However, in the past ten years, Zhu Houzhao has also worked on several major events, all of which are related to the war.

In May of the eighth year of Zhengde, dozens of Tusi in Sichuan gathered to rebel because of taxes, and the pacification of the Xuan Comfort Division was ineffective, because Sichuan was mountainous, the mountain roads were rugged and difficult to travel, the Sichuan Metropolitan Division sent troops to the four guards to conquer in vain, the greater the momentum of the anti-army, Zhu Hou was furious after hearing the report, regardless of the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, 30,000 elite soldiers in the Beijing battalion, and then urgently recruited 4,000 wolf soldiers in Guangxi to drive the expedition, the court used a large number of new firearms, carried out an uninterrupted assault on the mountains, and it took four months to finally quell the rebellion and return to Beijing in triumph.

In the following years, Zhu Houzhao successively went on several personal expeditions, including domestic rebellions, invasions of border Tatars and Warats, etc., what is surprising is that I don't know whether Zhu Houzhao was born a general or luck, several personal expeditions were actually a big victory, which really surprised the people of the world, no one thought that this faint monarch who lived deep in the country would have such a ability, think about it carefully. Seem...... It's not too thorough, and there is finally a little merit.

In the winter of last year, due to the advent of the white disaster on the grassland, the cattle and sheep of the Mongolian tribes starved to death and died of countless diseases, and the little prince of Tatar, Boyan Meng, could gather dozens of large and small tribes in the grassland, a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and launched an attack on Xuanfu, Datong and Liaoyang, the border towns of Daming, and Zhu Houzhao ordered the soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion to go out of Beijing to fight the enemy in Datong.

This time, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military did not agree.

The first few times you conquered Sichuan Tusi and rebelled against the displaced people. This and that are all within the scope of tolerance. After all, the enemy's combat power is not strong, and under the crushing of the army, even a fool can win the battle, but Mongolia has been the life-and-death enemy of the Han family for hundreds of years. And objectively speaking. The Han army often lost more than won against the Mongolian cavalry. A battle of 10,000 people can kill dozens of Mongols, it is a great achievement, such a powerful enemy, you only know how to have fun and frolic, the Ming Emperor still dares to conquer in person, do you want to repeat the change of Tumubao?

Countless ministers desperately opposed it. Kneeling in front of the palace gate and kowtowing to be covered with blood, but this time Zhu Houzhao was iron-hearted, and at the same time played a trick with the ministers The art of war is real, on the surface, he pretended to promise to take back his fate, and the relieved ministers did not have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and Zhu Houzhao quietly left Beijing with dozens of horses that night, and went straight to Juyong Pass, and drove directly to Datong Mansion after deceiving Juyong with a warrant and holy decree.

On the eve of the Mongol army's invasion of the border, Zhu Houzhao came to Datong Mansion, and without saying a word, he snatched the military power of Wang Xun, the chief military officer of Datong, and personally mobilized the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu and Datong in the center.

The Mongolian army finally came to attack, the soldiers pointed directly at Datong, Zhu Houzhao is indeed a general, decisively sent Wang Xun to lead a partial division to lure the Mongolian soldiers to Yingzhou, and mobilized Datong, Dingbian, Yanqing, Pingyu four border troops totaling more than 100,000 troops, set up an ambush outside Yingzhou City, and the Mongols got into the ambush circle preset by Zhu Houzhao.

This is a very tragic battle, the corpses outside the city of Yingzhou are like mountains, the blood flows like a river, both sides have paid great casualties, after the battle to clean up the results, the Mongolian army in Yingzhou City dropped a total of more than 20,000 corpses, in Zhu Houzhao calmly and calmly dispatched troops, the menacing Mongolian army was killed in half, Boyan Mengke's strength was greatly reduced, and even shook the status of the golden family in the minds of the Mongolian tribal leaders.

…………

On the side of the official road of the Beijing Division, Qin Kan, the Duke of Ningguo, took the lead in welcoming Zhu Houzhao, and very unceremoniously set the tone of "triumphant return" for Zhu Houzhao, blocking the mouths of countless resentful ministers.

This time, Qin Kan did not accompany Qin Kan on the expedition, and he really couldn't participate.

Nine years ago, Du Yan gave birth to Qin Kan the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion, named Qin Kang, from the "Chu Ci, Nine Songs" of "Jun Xin Xin Xi Lekang", now the eldest son is nine years old, born very healthy and lively, jumping up and down, catching dogs and chickens, good at fire attack, good at flooding, not afraid of skin fighting, and infinite strength, it is simply a combination of seven living gourd brothers, which makes the grandfather and the two ladies of the country very sad.

A little bastard demon king in the Guogong Mansion has already made a lot of anger, who knows that Du Yan's belly is stimulated by something, and she is actually pregnant again at the age of thirty, which is good, Qin Kan, who was originally going to accompany the expedition, made up his mind to stay in Beijing to accompany the elderly mothers to give birth, and by the way, help Zhu Houzhao calm the monstrous anger of the ministers in Beijing.

After Zhu Houzhao got out of the chariot, he was the first to walk to Qin Kan, helped him up, and then ordered the ministers to be flattened.

"Qin Kan, I personally killed 20,000 Tartars this time, and I beat Boyan so hard that he could flee from the wind, right? "Zhu Houzhao's face was full of pride...... like a young man who boasted about his heroic deeds to his friends, I have to say that Zhu Houzhao has not grown much over the years, except for fighting, and he has not been virtuous before.

"Your Majesty, the minister's wife gave birth to a son to the minister, right?" Qin Kan showed no weakness.

Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly froze, Qin Kan's words were a bit heart-wrenching, for some reason, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Liangnu have been married for ten years, but they have not even given birth to a boy and half a girl, Zhu Houzhao has no queen, and the doctors of the Tai Hospital have suffered a lot of pressure in recent years, not only the resentment of Zhu Houzhao and Liu Liangnu, but also the impeachment of the ministers is overwhelming, after all, the emperor's dragon heirs are a major matter related to the country's social affairs, the emperor has no queen, no brother and no brother, a genuine lonely person, and the Manchu Dynasty is really insecure.

The son became the biggest regret in Zhu Houzhao's heart, and when he heard that Qin Kan had won Lin'er again, Zhu Houzhao blurted out without thinking: "Why did you give birth to a son again......"

When he said this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he changed his expression, and hummed without smiling: "The iron tree blooms, the old mussel grows pearls, it is gratifying to congratulate......"

Qin Kan rolled his eyes, and quickly turned his head away, arguing with Zhu Houzhao in front of the ministers was inevitably frivolous, and he would inevitably be involved in a few more books, which was not cost-effective.

After Zhu Houzhao said a few words to Qin Kan, he turned his attention away and greeted the ministers one by one, with a very gentle and amiable attitude, after being the emperor for fourteen years, the monarchs and ministers all understood what kind of urine each other was, so Zhu Houzhao also learned to see people and talk about people, and talk nonsense when they see ghosts.

PS: It's the final book, but it's not so fast to finish, and it will be a month or two later. The plot has been going according to the outline, no more and no less, more than 2 million words, although it is not much, but it still exceeds my personal single word record, the span of ten years is because of the arrangement of the plot, after all, Zhengde once had sixteen years in the official history, and the middle span of ten years is to bring some boring plots over.

I won't be anticlimactic, otherwise I'm sorry for everyone and myself, brothers and relax. (To be continued......)
