"Da Ming will win!"

Looking at the retreating Tartars, Zhu Yi held his sword high and let out a roar from the bottom of his heart.

After Zhu Yong was taken away, the burden of the family fell on him, and any mistakes and weaknesses would be infinitely magnified, as a sign of the fall of the Chengguo family.

This time, Zhu Yi finally did not rely on his father's decision, and only relied on his own commander, setting a precedent for the Ming army to defeat the Mongol iron cavalry in a head-to-head duel since Tumubao.

The pressure accumulated in his heart was released with this roar.

"Da Ming will win!"

The Ming cavalry who were still alive also shouted this slogan, and they regained their former courage and pride.

The Ming Iron Cavalry has never been weaker than the Mongolian cavalry, and for 70 years, it has always been the battle flag of the Ming Army that has been fluttering on the grassland of Mobei for thousands of miles!

The defeat of Tumubao was only a blink of an eye in the history of the seventies.

Shen Yichen also shouted the slogan "Da Ming will win", at this moment he felt as if he understood Zhu Yi's standards of behavior, and let go of the previous psychological defense line of vigilance and vigilance.

Zhu Yi truly inherited the concept of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and regarded the rise and fall of the family as the important task of his life. I once took the initiative to help myself, not to plan any big plan, let alone to dig a hole to get rid of "competitors".

The more power he controls, the more he can stand in a high position in the court, then he is destined to make the Chengguo Mansion more brilliant and prosperous, which is the best reward after helping.

One glory and one loss, is Zhu Yi's belief in inheritance.

Similarly, it has become a lifelong shackle that Zhu Yi cannot escape.

Just when Shen Yichen was a little embarrassed and sighed in his heart, he suddenly found that Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo in front of him, leaned forward slightly, and the blood was falling down the blade drop by drop.

The war is over, and the blood still dripping from the blade cannot be the enemy's, so there is only one possibility, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was wounded.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Shen Yichen stepped forward to hold the arm of Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong, only to find that there was a deep knife mark on his right shoulder, and even the tiger head armor stomach of the shoulder guard was cut open.

"It's okay, it's just a little injury."

Zhu Yong waved his hand, he had been injured countless times in his life, if he wasn't older now, he wouldn't have taken this knife wound as a thing at all.

Faced with the appearance of Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong to be strong, Shen Yichen hesitated for a moment, but still said something slowly.

"Grandpa, my mother also hopes that you can go back safely."

No matter what his attitude towards Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, is, Shen Yichen always adheres to a bottom line, that is, he will not impose his own concept on his mother Shen, and the Ming Dynasty is not modern after five hundred years after all.

The spiritual pillar of the Shen family, in addition to his own son, has always had a place for Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.

She must have been worried day and night in the mansion, hoping that both father and son would return home safe and sound.

Hearing Shen Yichen say this, Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"We'll all go back safely."

After that, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, looked at Zhu Yi, who was enjoying the victory cheers.

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, he realized what the greatest wealth of his life was.

The dawn of the morning light not only illuminated the battlefield of the cavalry, but also the main battlefield outside the Xizhi Gate, which was also filled with cheers of victory.

Just when the Mongolian Chinese army led by Ye Xian was about to capture Xizhimen, two Ming reinforcements were ushered in on the battlefield!

One was the elite in the city urgently requisitioned by Yu Qian, and the palace guards sent by Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu. Only by guarding the nine gates of the capital division can we hold the Forbidden City, otherwise it is really time for the Son of Heaven to defend against the enemy, what can I do with a few thousand imperial city guards?

However, relying on the strength of the city and the palace guards alone is far from enough to reverse the situation, after all, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses were invested outside the Xizhi Gate first. What really ushered in the turning point of the war was Wang Ji, the great Ming Jingyuan Bo, who finally led the elite of the Southern Expeditionary Army to Beijing and completed the fatal blow to the Mongolian army from the flank!

At the beginning, the elite of the pro-conquest army led by Zhu Qizhen of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was only the squad army of the Beijing camp and the northern state capital. The entire southern elite of the Ming Dynasty and even the border army of Gansu were all requisitioned and transferred to Luchuan to quell the rebellion, which is the complete military strength of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that compared with the Beijing camp, there are countless second-generation military generals crammed in, which greatly affects the middle-level command and combat effectiveness. The soldiers, horses and officers of the Southern Expeditionary Army under Wang Ji belonged to the real division of the Ming Dynasty.

From the beginning of the first Luchuan Battle in the fourth year of orthodoxy to the current thirteenth year of orthodoxy, four major battles have been fought in nine years, with almost no downtime in between.

The elite soldiers, relying on the tempering of the war, coupled with the two Ming backbone generals of Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji and Ningyang Hou Chen Mao, used an unstoppable offensive to instantly penetrate the flank of the main Mongolian army.

Let the Taishi also see first, what is the true strength of the Ming army!

The defeat was like a mountain, and even if the opportunity to capture Xizhimen was near, the Taishi had to order a retreat first.

At the same time, the scales of victory began to tilt in the direction of the Ming Dynasty.

After collecting the corpses of the wounded and the dead robes, Shen Yichen and the remnants of the Ming cavalry returned to Beijing and walked to Xizhimen.

Compared with the grandeur and glory of the mission, at this moment, Xizhimen can be described as full of devastation, the remnants of the beacon fire and gunpowder smoke are still burning, and everywhere you can see are the corpses of soldiers on both sides, as well as painful moans that fill your ears.

At this moment, the city gate has been opened, and the people are carrying the wounded back to the city for treatment as soon as possible, after all, the Mongolian army has not retreated, and they still have the strength to fight a war, and they cannot be taken lightly.

On one side of the city gate, there are Yu Qian, Wu Qing Bo Shi Heng, the right governor Sun Bo and other main generals guarding the gate. After Li Da, Zhang Qi, Li Zan and others experienced a day and night of fighting, they no longer even had the strength to stand, and they all leaned on the foot of the city wall, silently looking at the robes that had died in battle.

However, among the group of generals at the city gate, there were a few unfamiliar faces, they were the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, and Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao.

And Jiang Gui, the Marquis of Dingxi, who was also called one of the three famous generals of the Orthodox Dynasty, was disturbed by the miasma in Luchuan, and was unwell and could not march quickly to aid the Beijing Division, and was still on the canal.

From the point of view of the title, Wang Ji is just an earl, but at this moment he is standing at the center of everyone, Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, and Yu Qian, who is the commander of all kinds of soldiers and horses, can only rank on his left and right.

After all, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji did not have the blessing of family status, but relied on his real military exploits to create the history of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, and his military exploits convinced everyone. and went to Luchuan several times, Wang Ji was the commander, and Chen Mao and Jiang Gui were deputy generals most of the time.

Shen Yichen is no stranger to Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, when he mentioned the hidden danger of tile thorns in Jingshi, he also supported the proposal to be on guard early.

It's a pity that Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong was in high spirits at that time, and Daming was also at his peak, and he didn't put the tile spur department in his eyes at all, and all kinds of warnings couldn't be given.

Looking at Shen Yichen's figure, appearing in the returning cavalry camp, Zhang Qi, a white fat man leaning on the corner of the city wall, recognized it immediately, and then got up and shouted excitedly: "Big brother is back, he is back from the enemy camp!"

Zhang Qi's shouting voice naturally alarmed Li Da and the others, and then they looked in the direction where the cavalry was coming, and sure enough, they saw Shen Yichen's figure.

At the same time, Shen Yichen saw that these Ying Tianfu brothers were alive and sound, and the hanging heart could finally be put down.

In addition, Zhang Qi's shout also reminded Wang Ji and others who were standing in front of the city gate, but their attention was not on Shen Yichen, but towards Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who was the leader, and said, "I've seen Duke Chengguo!"

Regardless of whether he has a knighthood or not, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, has been in the court for so many years, and the dignity and influence of his identity cannot die out in one day. Not to mention that most of the generals of the Ming Army have followed Zhu Yong in the southern and northern wars, no matter how they are, they have the feelings of an "old boss".

"I'm already cloth, you don't have to be polite."

After Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, dismounted, he returned a salute to the generals at the city gate.

"Grandpa has always been a role model for my generation, how can I treat him lightly."

Wang Ji did not choose to treat the other party as an ordinary person because of Zhu Yong's politeness, but still maintained courtesy and respect.

As long as the relatives of the Ming Dynasty do not involve the imperial power to stand in line, as well as the felony of rebellion and rebellion, it is not impossible to reinstate the title in the future. Even if Zhu Yong can no longer serve as the Duke of Chengguo in his life, judging from Zhu Yi's current performance, it is very likely that he will inherit the title.

Even if he doesn't have a relationship, anyone who has a little officialdom emotional intelligence will not snub Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.

After exchanging a few polite words, Wang Ji discovered the injuries on the other party's body and hurriedly asked the doctor to escort Zhu Yong into the city for treatment. It was only at this time that Shen Yichen had the opportunity to come forward to talk, and bowed and said, "Xiaguan has seen Uncle Jing Yuan."

Facing Shen Yichen's salute, Wang Ji's eyes looking at him were extremely complicated.

On the way to Beijing, Wang Ji had already received a secret letter from Ming Yingzong Zhu Qiyu conveyed by Yang Shan, the deputy envoy of the peace conference, and learned the news of Shen Yichen's "betraying the Lord for glory".

To be honest, when Wang Ji learned the news, he was extremely shocked. After all, in the court, in the face of the emperor's doubts, the contempt of the ministers, and the threat of Wang Zhen, Shen Yichen always adhered to his own concept, thinking that the tile spur was a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty.

Will this kind of person really turn his back on the Lord and seek glory?

But the problem is that the proof of Yang Shan, the deputy envoy of the peace council, the secret letter of the Emperor Zhu Qizhen, and even Shen Yichen supported the new monarch for the first time and obtained the promotion of the official from the dragon's merits. All kinds of examples show that he was the biggest beneficiary after the Tumubao Incident.

You must know that compared with the new monarch Zhu Qiyu, the object of loyalty in Wang Ji's heart has always been Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong.

His grace can allow him to set a precedent for the knighthood of the Ming Dynasty, people can't forget their roots, even if they can't support the restoration of the Emperor Taishang and ascend the throne, at least they can't let him suffer in the hands of the Tartars, and they must find a way to welcome him back!

"I haven't seen him for a few years, and Shen Shilang is now a smash hit."

Wang Ji responded with a surging sentence, but when he heard this sentence in Shen Yichen's ears, he immediately felt a little strange.

According to the relationship between the two parties in the past, the reunion after a long absence does not say anything warm and intimate, at least the words of congratulations will not use a slightly derogatory word such as "smash hit", even if it is used "alone", it will not cause ambiguity.

"The lower officials didn't dare to be the officials, but Uncle Jing Yuan returned to Beijing, like a mainstay, stabilizing the situation in Beijing and the danger."

"Yes, I didn't expect Ben Bo Nan to fight, and the Beijing division has undergone such earth-shaking changes, and many things are wrong."

After that, Wang Ji looked at Li Da and the others who were waiting next to him, and said: "They should be old acquaintances with Shen Shilang, then Benbo will not delay you to catch up with the old days, and you have to enter the palace as soon as possible to resume your life."

"Uncle Jing Yuan is hard."

Feeling the indifference of Wang Ji's attitude, Shen Yichen didn't understand the reason, so he could only take advantage of the situation and retreat.

Seeing that Shen Yichen had ended the conversation with Wang Ji and walked towards him and the others, the white fat man Zhang Qi immediately couldn't wait to greet him and hug him: "Big brother, you are finally back, I am afraid that I will never see you again in this life!"

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Feeling the familiar atmosphere from Zhang Qi's tone, Shen Yichen's tense nerves at the moment were completely relaxed, as if he had returned to the world.

"Really, I'm afraid I'll never see you again!"

When he said this, the white fat man Zhang Qi's eyes were red, and his tone instantly choked.

It wasn't until this moment that Shen Yichen realized that Zhang Qi was not saying anything light and joking to himself, let alone afraid that he would be taken away by the Tartars, but that he was worried that he would not be able to see each other alive in this life.

The cruelty of the battle of Xizhimen was actually far beyond Shen Yichen's expectations.

"Don't worry, your kid has been blessed since he was a child, and he won't die so easily."

Shen Yichen patted Zhang Qi's shoulder gently, in fact, he no longer has that white and chubby appearance now. Or to put it another way, from Zhang Qi's body, there is no longer the shadow of the gentleman who ate, drank and had fun.

"Li Da, how are the casualties of the soldiers?"

Xizhimen is the first gate where Shen Yichen was stationed, and tens of thousands of brothers from the Liaodong Army and the Fujian Navy Division were stationed here, plus the 10,000 old battalion soldiers who were added later, Shen Yichen wanted to know how many of them were still alive.

After all, many of them were brought to Beijing by themselves from Fujian, and they still remember the day they set sail, and the wharf was full of the parents, wives and children of this group of soldiers.

But now that they are dead in a foreign land, they can no longer return to their homeland alive, and Shen Yichen doesn't know how to explain to their parents, wives and children if they set foot in Fujian one day.

The city of Susu, which used to be the capital division, may be staged in various parts of the Ming Dynasty after this battle.

"Three don't save one."

Li Da replied with a solemn expression, according to the current statistics from the Jingshi Minzhuang, less than thirty percent of the soldiers survived, including the lifelong disabled robe.

Hearing this number, Shen Yichen felt that his heart was clogged, and the excitement and joy of defeating the Mongolian cavalry and attacking first after repelling disappeared in an instant.

Shen Yichen understands the truth that war will kill people, just watching the soldiers die in battle for two years after getting along day and night, and even many people Shen Yichen can remember their faces and say their names, this feeling is indescribable.

"Collect the remains of each robe, and find a place to pay tribute and store them after cremation. Waiting for the end of this war, the Daming treasure ship will take them back to their hometown. ”

"I understand."

Li Da nodded, this kind of thing doesn't need to be instructed by Shen Yichen, it is impossible for him to let himself live and die together, and he will not be able to return to his homeland after death.

After explaining to Li Da and others, Shen Yichen came to the front of Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department.

Compared with Yu Qian, who was already dark-skinned like an old farmer before the mission, his eyes are now deep-set, his whole person looks haggard and tired, and the battle armor he wears also has several injuries.

"Da Sima, the Mongol army has been repulsed, and with Jing Yuanbo's Southern Expeditionary Army coming back, it is necessary to make a plan to pursue the enemy army in advance."

Although history has changed, the Jingshi is still holding on for the time being. If the future trend does not change, when the Southern Expeditionary Army arrives in Beijing, Taishi will first realize that the capture of the Ming Imperial Capital has become an impossible thing.

Then what he will do next is to lead the Mongol army that entered the pass to retreat back to the outside of the fortress in an orderly manner, and try to preserve his strength to the greatest extent.

Whether it is out of selfish revenge or out of public desire to weaken the Mongol army, the plan of taking advantage of the situation must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Otherwise, they also led the Mongol army to retreat safely, they were still the biggest gainers of this war, and they had enough strength to attack the Ming nine-sided towns in the future, but on the contrary, the Ming army suffered heavy losses but was unable to counterattack.

As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and the same is true for military adventures, Emperor Daming is not a place where he can come and leave when he wants, Shen Yichen will not let him take the captured spoils of war with the people of Daming first, and return to the grassland safely!

Hearing Shen Yichen say that he was going to pursue the enemy, Yu Qian looked at him with a surprised look, his face full of incredulity.

What are you kidding, if it weren't for Jing Yuanbo's Southern Expeditionary Army arriving at a critical time, I'm afraid that now that the Ming Jingshi has fallen, where will they have the strength to pursue the Tartars, they seem to be defeated and fled?

However, surprised and surprised, Yu Qian still patiently explained: "You don't know anything to the north, in order to rush to the aid of the Beijing Division as soon as possible, Jing Yuanbo only led tens of thousands of people to follow the light car, and this is the critical moment to resolve the crisis, and most of the Southern Expeditionary Army is still on the canal."

"Although the Taishi also failed in the siege this time, it is far from the time to lose his armor and abandon his armor, so he must not rush for quick success."

"No, Da Sima, he can first endure and hibernate with the help of the Ming army, weaken the Tatars and the Wuliang Ha Sanwei to unify the Mongolian tribes, and crisscross the desert for thousands of miles, which shows that he has a very strategic vision, and he will never do it knowing that he can't do it."

"Xia Guan has decided that he will not attack the Jingshi on a large scale first, but has already started a retreat plan, and he can't just let the Tartars return to Mobei so easily!"

Shen Yichen's expression was extremely firm, he knew that after the siege of Jingshi was lifted in history, it actually did not hurt the vitality of the Mongolian army. On the contrary, after rectifying the soldiers and horses, the east went to Jianzhou and Wuliangha, and the west to Chijin Mongolia and Hami, all of which became vassals of Warat, and their power reached their peak!

If you can't take this opportunity to hit the Mongolian army hard, then in the next ten years, the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty will not be at peace!
