First Acquaintance Chapter 2: The Beginning of the War
Zhu Qizhen walked around the house twice, and there were strange and familiar furnishings everywhere, and he couldn't help but be amazed: "It is worthy of being the emperor, Tumubao is a temporary place to stay, and the things used are still so exquisite." ”
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that someone was coming, and Zhu Qizhen put down the incense burner in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the British Duke is already waiting for the decree outside the palace." "The prince is just rectifying military affairs, and he will come back later." I saw that Wu Liang and Liu An had come back to reply to the order.
Zhu Qizhen personally greeted the door and held Zhang Fu's somewhat cold dry hands: "Uncle! Come in, it's windy outside! ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it was not only Wu Liang and Liu An who were stunned. Even Zhang Fu, who had gone through vicissitudes, was shocked in place, and he forgot to meet the emperor for a while. Stunned, he was pulled by Zhu Qizhen to sit down at will, like two homely croppers.
As soon as his buttocks touched the stool, Zhang Fu woke up suddenly, fell to his knees with a pop, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's really tormenting the old minister, the old minister, the old minister, I can't stand it!" ”
Zhu Qizhen saw that Zhang Fu was usually abused, this contrast was too great, and the old man was a little flattered. Hurriedly reached out to hold Zhang Fu's arm, and said again: "Uncle, is there a problem with my title?" ”
When Zhang Fu heard this, he really didn't know what the emperor meant. I wanted to kneel down again, but fortunately, Zhu Qizhen supported him, so he didn't kneel.
Trembling and sitting down on the edge of the stool, he said in fear: "The emperor's title is really unbearable, you read Taizong's in-laws, and the minister is an elder." But you are a king, I am a minister, and I have tormented the old minister. ”
Zhu Qizhen stared at Zhang Fu's frightened face and did not be polite again. Straight to the point, he said, "Does the master think we can win?" ”
Zhang Fu was confused, the decision to move the camp was supported by you, will this ask if this is a reversal?
After pondering for a moment, he said, "The minister thinks that it is not a good policy to stick to it. Only by breaking through can there be a glimmer of life, the emperor is shengming! ”
Zhu Qizhen nodded, just when Wang Zhen came back, he saw Zhu Qizhen's ruddy complexion, although he didn't understand why the emperor was so close to Zhang Fu, but he was still happy.
He walked through the door with small steps and fell to his knees with a thud.
"The emperor is saintly, God bless the Ming, God bless the emperor and the dragon is healthy. With the blessing of your dragon energy, this time you will be able to annihilate Warat in one fell swoop! ”
Looking at his legs, this person who opened the era of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen's eyes were burning.
Then he smiled: "What is this doing, sir, hurry up." Stretched out his hand to help Wang Zhen up, and then asked the two to sit down, Zhang Fu and Wang Zhen glanced at each other without a trace.
"Everyone is here, get on with business." Regardless of the eyebrows of the two, Zhu Qizhen said.
The two leaned forward unconsciously.
"When I was unwell, I heard Xining say 'Harrier Ridge is a good place' in a trance, and I didn't think much about it at first. Now that his thoughts are smooth, he is becoming more and more puzzled, shouldn't Zhu Yong fight with Ye first in Jiming Mountain? Why was he ambushed at Harrier Ridge? Can you also predict the prophet first? ”
Wang Zhen's heart shook, this is a great treason!
Immediately knelt on the ground: "The minister is guilty of capital crime!" That Xining is open-mouthed on weekdays, if he really does this traitorous thief, the minister has no shame to face the emperor, please die together! ”
"What is this doing, sir! This is just a memory of my trance, and the facts are still inconclusive, maybe I am mistaken. Sir, but I'm a big pillar stone, don't say anything that won't die.
Wu Liang! You take Jinyiwei to find out if there is such a thing, remember, you must not wronged a good person! Zhu Qizhen smiled and picked up Wang Zhen.
Wu Liang promised to leave quickly.
"Taishi, what are our chances of winning now?" Zhu Qizhen seemed to ask meaningfully.
Zhang Fu glanced at Wu Liang, who was walking away, and replied: "Your Majesty, the wood has been completed, and there is no ...... in the right time and place."
"Hey! I am the only one who is at fault. Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't grasp many opportunities along the way, it was I who brought you into this abyss!" ”
When Wang Zhen heard this, his heart calmed down a lot, and he looked at Zhang Fu with a sneer.
"It's all incompetent." Kneeling down in panic, Zhang Fu couldn't help but regret it in his heart, but he didn't expect that Zhu Qizhen helped himself up helplessly, and the prince who looked at it looked surprised.
Zhu Qizhen asked questions one after another about his long-standing doubts.
"I remember that we are not without drinking water, and we distribute it to the soldiers, can we hold on and wait for help?"
"Your Majesty, more than 200,000 horses, the rest of these are just a drop in the bucket, what the prince said is right, at present, only by counting will there be a glimmer of life!"
"The two armies fight each other, and the mourner wins. I am the vanguard, and in the decisive battle with Warat, will there be a chance of winning by three points? ”
Zhang Fu struggled for a long time before slowly spit out a sentence: "Your Majesty, forgive the old minister, now there is no cavalry in the army. As long as we leave the civil engineering, we will definitely take advantage of our advantages and focus on the weak points of our army, I am afraid that it will ......"
The two of them quickly asked and answered, Zhu Qizhen's question was already clear, and he was a little desperate in his heart, this was the beginning......
"Zhang Fu! In such a situation, you shake the morale of the army! Should be engaged in military law! Wang Zhen knelt down and participated in Zhang Fu's book.
Zhang Fu's heart trembled, wouldn't it? Did the emperor do it on purpose?
"Sir, please, the master is also for my safety." Wang Zhen snorted, but did not pester Zhang Fu anymore.
Zhu Qizhen sighed, he still thought it was simple!
But I saw Zhang Fu suddenly kneel down: "Your Majesty, you can only break the kettle for today's plan, and the old minister is willing to give it a try!" It's just that...... The old minister has a request, and I hope that the emperor will grant it! ”
"Zhang Fu!" Wang Zhen shouted angrily.
"Taishi, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Zhu Qizhen's heart was relieved, it turned out that he wanted to put forward conditions.
"The minister asks the emperor for the right of holy judgment!" Zhang Fu said calmly, his eyes drifting to Wang Zhen.
"Zhang Fu! Are you going to rebel? ”
Wang Zhen was looked at by Zhang Fu, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, so he could only kneel down and beg Zhu Qizhen.
"Your Majesty, you must not agree! Zhang Fu's wolf ambition, this is to rebel! Please let the minister take down this traitor! ”
"Sir! Taishi saved my Ming Dynasty, how can it be said that it is a rebellion! Zhu Qizhen asked coldly.
I'm not afraid that he wants it, I'm afraid that he won't want it, so I don't care about the stunned Wang Zhen anymore, and I agreed.
"Zhang Fu! I give you the sword of the Son of Heaven, from now on, everyone including me will be under your control, and those who do not obey will be killed! ”
Zhu Qizhen reached out and took off the saber and handed it to Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu's eyes were already full of tears, and after taking the sword of the Son of Heaven, he knocked heavily on the ground.
"With the emperor's trust, the ministers will die to repay the king's kindness!" It's full of crying.
Wang Zhen looked anxious in his eyes: "Your Majesty! ”
"Why is the gentleman still kneeling? Get up! From now on, Mr. will be sent by the Taishi, and if there is an order involving internal officials, Mr. must cooperate well. ”
Zhu Qizhen ignored Wang Zhen, who was pleading, and bowed deeply to Zhang Fu: "Everything depends on the Taishi!" ”
Zhang Fu kowtowed and returned the salute, Wang Zhen wanted to speak again, but was taken away directly by Zhang Fu, and Zhu Qizhen in the room was as quiet as water.
Half an hour later, bursts of military drums came out from the Ming army camp, and the army followed the sound of the drums and went straight to Juyong Pass. Wu Jin, the son of Gongshun Bo Wu Kezhong, had a bloody face and a murderous aura, and led the 3,000 battalions to open the way, followed by the Chinese army.
Fifteen miles south of the camp of the Ming army, the Yanghe River and the Sanggan River merge into the Yongding River, and the water flows into Shuntianfu in Beijing.
The large camp of Warat was stationed at the confluence of the two rivers, occupying the only source of water within a radius of dozens of miles. August is the time when the water and grass are abundant, and the shepherd horses can be seen everywhere in the shallows of the river, waiting for the call of their masters.
In the Warat camp, a burly middle-aged man Dama Jindao sat on the main seat, and several Mongolian men sat on both sides, all with fragrant food in front of them, and several dancers danced in the field.
"Report! Tell the Taishi that the Ming army has left the camp. "A Mongolian scout was in the account.
also stopped dancing in the tent first, and waved off the idlers and so on.
"What is the formation of the Ming army and in what direction is it marching?" Also ask first.
"Taishi, as you expected, the morale of the Ming army is low, the army is not in order, and it is coming towards us."
also sat down on the throne first, ate a bite of mutton, and his deep voice was like an announcer: "Is there any news from our friend?" ”
Boyan Timur, who was the first on the right, replied: "Taishi, the news sent half an hour ago said: The Ming army organized the relocation of the camp to water, and there were different opinions from top to bottom. The Emperor was so frightened by us that he was delirious, and everywhere he was terrified. As soon as our army arrives, it can be easily defeated. ”
"Haha......" also threw the dagger in his hand on the table first, and there was a buzzing sound.
"Warriors of Warat, come with me to hunt our prey! Stick our flag on the corpse of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and let our Immortal Heaven shine on the Central Plains again! ”
A moment later there was a muffled cry in the camp, and the army of Warat poured out, all of them riding on their horses with their arrows and swords in their heads.
At this time, the Ming army, totaling 200,000 people, had all left Tumubao. Daxu Hunting (the most important military flag), where the Chinese military is located, the Son of Heaven's honor guard is majestic, stretching for dozens of zhang, and there is silence in the imperial chariot.
The British Gong Zhang Fu wore light armor and was guarded by all the generals. From time to time, heralds ran to their sides, and their underliners were soaked with sweat.
There were traces of horses around the Ming army, and after a while, the ground under their feet began to tremble, and 30,000 cavalry led by Arazhiyuan had stopped in front.
He also held a telescope in his hand and followed far away on the flank of the Ming army, which was a distance sufficient for the cavalry to exert its might. The Warat cavalry continued to harass the Ming army, turning around and running after a few rounds of bows and arrows, constantly stirring the patience of the Ming army.
also sat on his BMW first, but his face did not have the disdain just now, and his eyes were resolute and sharp. This is also a habit that has been developed first: do not underestimate any opponent with the ability to counterattack, even if he is cut off his hands and feet, he must be on guard against the possibility of being bitten.
Suddenly, a loud horn sounded, and the Warat cavalry instantly activated: Accelerate! Hasten! Hasten! In the blink of an eye, it reached the peak of cavalry speed.
The scene is as described in the history books: Taiying traveled south to the water, and within three or four miles, Kou re-encircled it, and attacked it from all sides.
The difference is that Zhang Fu is now the actual controller of the army.
"Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang ......"
Several earth-shattering thunderbolts sounded the horn of the attack of the artillery array of the Shenji Battalion, and a solid iron bullet was fired from the general's cannon, and the hot projectile flew out of the barrel with the wind noise. With a range of 50 feet, it can smash all enemy troops that enter it into minced meat.
