"These ones can have 800 hearts and eyes, and there is not a single fuel-efficient lamp."

The third child, Zhu Gaosui, shook his head, thinking about his own people, and sighed helplessly.

Living in such a family is really brain-draining.

All day long, either you cheat me, or I cheat you.

Early the next morning.

With the news that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, decided to take action and sent troops to attack Shanhaiguan, the entire Ming Dynasty and even the entire eastern region of Asia were greatly shaken.

The explosions of the artillery of the Shenji Battalion sounded, and those forces and countries that were either working in the Ming army or waiting around the Ming army began to spread the news to the hands of their own sons as quickly as possible.

And the decision of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, seems to be very hasty, and no one knows about it now.

Even the generals in the barracks didn't know anything about it.

Among them is also the king of Zhao, Zhu Gaosui.

But with the sound of artillery in the early morning, the generals in the barracks woke up from their tents in an instant.

One by one, they looked around in a panic.

At the same time, he hurriedly asked the soldiers outside the camp tent: "What's the matter, what's wrong?" How can there be the sound of artillery?"

In the hearts of the generals within the entire Ming army, the artillery positions under the command of the Shenji Battalion are the top priority of the Ming army.

It is the foundation of the entire battle formation of the Ming army.

No matter in any battle, the entire Ming army's 500,000 troops were revolved around the artillery positions of the Shenji Battalion.

So in their hearts, artillery positions have an extraordinary significance.

Now, when I hear the explosion of the artillery, how can I not panic.

However, no matter how the generals asked, the soldiers around them also didn't know anything.

Something that these generals don't know, let alone their soldiers.

For a while, without understanding the situation at all, these generals went to the tent of the Chinese army commander where Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, was located, wanting to ask what was going on, and there was such a big movement, even the explosion of artillery rang out.

You must know that now is the time to be stationed after the war, and it is within the territory of their Ming Dynasty, and it is by no means a trivial matter if there is a problem here.

And at this moment in the tent of the Chinese military camp.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, had already taken the first step to come to the handsome tent, and as soon as he walked into the tent, he immediately asked Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han in the tent: "Second child! Now that you know everything, how dare you do it! I really don't want to live! ”

At this time, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was really anxious.

No matter what kind of rebellious posture the second child put on before, he didn't make any substantive moves.

But now.

After knowing the news that the old man was still alive, he even dared to do it!

Listening to what he said yesterday, I thought that he was acting with the old man, so he pretended to be such a rebellious posture.

But now that the cannon has sounded, this is a real rebellion!

When the old man learned the news, he designated to come back and clean him up!

However, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han in the tent, sat on the chair, and after looking at the third child Zhu Gaosui who was full of anxiety in front of him, he just sneered and said: "Since it is a drill, if you don't perform it seriously, will others believe it?" ”

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, who was still anxious just now, was stunned after hearing the words of the second Zhu Gaoxu.

In an instant, I understood the meaning of this second child.

My heart gradually calmed down.

As soon as I woke up, I heard the sound of cannons, and I thought that the second child had eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and he really dared to rebel.

Now when I hear him say this, I understand.

This second brother is selling the old man.

But think about it, if this second man doesn't do anything, when the old man comes back, he will definitely be disappointed in him.

After all, this second child really wanted to rebel in the first place.

It's just that I found out later.

But now, the reason why he did this was completely to make up for his previous actions.

When the time comes, when the old man comes back, he can also excuse himself and say that he is secretly helping the old man act.

Then it all makes sense.

Thinking of this, the third Zhu Gaosui slowly sat on the chair next to him, and said to the second child: "Then you don't know how to say it, scare me, I thought your second child was really crazy." ”

But no matter what the third child said, the second child Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of disdain.

Obviously, he is still angry about the fact that the third child secretly hid himself.

Even after the night, it didn't pass.

Just when Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, was still about to persuade the second child, the generals in the army also rushed here.

Looking at the anxious expressions on their faces one by one, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, in the tent, understood what they were here for.

"Lord Han!"

"The explosion of artillery suddenly sounded in the army just now, but there is an enemy attack?"

"yes, I heard that just now!"

"It can't be that the artillery ammunition of the Shenji Battalion was not saved and accidentally ignited, right?"

“.......”

As the generals in that scene had different opinions, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han who was sitting on the main seat, did not say anything, but waited quietly.

It wasn't until the many generals in that scene finished speaking one by one and the scene quieted down that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, slowly got up and said, "The explosion just now is not a mistake in the preservation of artillery ammunition in the Shenji Battalion, nor is it an enemy attack. ”

"They were under the orders of the king, and they carried out an artillery bombardment of Shanhaiguan."

As soon as the words of Han King Zhu Gaoxu came out, all the generals in the entire military camp instantly fell silent.

One by one, they stared at Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han who was sitting on the main seat, and showed an incredible look.

"King Han, you can't make such a joke! This shelling of Shanhaiguan is tantamount to a rebellion! ”

"Yes....."

After looking at the expressions and expressions of the generals below, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, raised his hand unhurriedly, interrupted everyone's words, and then said: "Don't hide it from you, this king has decided last night to lead the army to attack Shanhaiguan, assault all the way, and go straight to the capital of Shuntianfu, Fengtianjing is difficult!" ”

"Qing Jun's side, punish traitors!"

As Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, the generals in the entire field fell silent again.

They really didn't expect that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, would say these words so bluntly.

If the shelling of Shanhaiguan just now was only possible for a rebellion, now the words of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, have confirmed this statement.

King Han is not likely to rebel, but he is really going to rebel!

Moreover, he has already taken action for this and bombarded Shanhaiguan!

Faced with the King of Han so nakedly exposing his rebellious intentions, some of these generals immediately asked: "The King of Han said that this attack on Shanhaiguan was for the sake of Fengtianjing, and for the sake of the Qing monarch and the traitorous ministers. When will the imperial court need the king of Han to lead a large army to appease?"

Listening to the words of the general in front of him, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing at the head of everyone, did not have the slightest surprise.

He had expected this scene to happen.

Immediately, he said: "This time the incident happened suddenly, everything in the capital was conveyed through the mouth of the capital, whether you believe it or not, it will be clear if you go to the capital with this king." ”

Although the words of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, did not have the slightest credibility, but in the face of the other party's completely shameless behavior, what could these generals say.

Is it true that the person who conveys the message verbally should come and confront him face to face?

But since the King of Han dared to say this, he was naturally fully prepared.

Just find someone to coerce and lure, you can do all this.

Therefore, whether to call or not, and whether to confront each other face-to-face, in fact, has no effect at all.

But it's helpless that he, these people are all subordinates, and they can't disobey the orders of the commander. Even if the other party's words are difficult to convince the public, they have also said it, let them see it in the capital.

Although they all understood that when the army entered the capital, everything would be settled, whether it was consistent with what the king of Nahan said had no effect.

But now I can't say anything.

When a few of these generals in the army who were loyal to the court wanted to speak, they were all stopped by the people around them.

They all understand that if the king of Han dares to say it here today, he must have prepared everything.

Going against him at this time can only be tragic and have no impact on the overall situation.

On the contrary, some of the descendants of the King of Han showed surprise on their faces when they heard that the King of Han had finally made up his mind to rebel.

Looking at the various looks on the faces of everyone in this battle, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, left enough time for the spies and scouts in the army, and said: "Today is just a small test, and ten days later, the army will officially begin to attack the city!" ”

"Alright, let's all go down and prepare."

Hearing the words of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, these generals present left from this military tent with complicated thoughts.

Looking at the backs of them leaving one by one, the face of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han in the tent, finally showed a smile.

But when he found that the third child in the tent, Zhu Gaosui, was still there, his face suddenly changed again, and he said, "You should get out of here." ”

Listening to his second brother's words, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui wanted to say something, but chose to shut up again.

He shook his head helplessly.

This second child is really holding a grudge.

When the news in this military camp left these generals, it instantly spread to the entire military camp.

If the previous bombardment is still false, then what the Han King Zhu Gaoxu announced to all the generals in the army will definitely not be false.

This conclusive information also began to circulate in all directions.

In less than five days, news about the movements of the 500,000-strong army outside the pass spread to all places.

Even those foreign powers have received this news.

For a while, everyone began to prepare in full swing in secret.

I want to take advantage of this opportunity to really make a big deal on the body of the Ming Dynasty.

And outside of here, in the capital of Shuntianfu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji, as the apparent ruler of the entire Ming Dynasty, naturally learned the news through various ways.

Including the farm yard in the Shanhaiguan, the old men Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi also received the news.

For such a situation, the old man Zhu Di and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi naturally would not have any surprises, because they were waiting for this time.

And Zhu Zhanji, who was in the capital, also began to prepare and deal with it intensively.

Everything he had done before had shown favor to his second uncle and third uncle to the greatest extent, since the second uncle and third uncle insisted on refusing to appreciate it, then he could only be forced to fight the second uncle and third uncle head-on.

At this time, in addition to the 100,000 Shandong reserve soldiers mobilized before, another 50,000 troops were urgently requisitioned from all over the country.

In other words, there are more than 150,000 troops guarding the Shanhaiguan Pass today.

Although there is still a big gap with the 500,000 troops in the hands of the second and third uncles outside the pass, relying on the defense of Shanhaiguan, it is really difficult to say whether the victory or defeat will be said.

As long as he can resist the attack of the second and third uncles in a short time, then just the consumption can also consume his 500,000 troops outside the pass until the supplies are completely exhausted.

Of course, for other places, Zhu Zhanji was not idle.

Although the entire internal forces of the Ming Dynasty were almost requisitioned and transferred in this situation, even if there were still places where troops were stationed, they were all confidential places of the Ming Dynasty, and they could not be lost and could not be withdrawn.

But he urgently requisitioned a cavalry army of 5,000 men.

It is stationed in the territory of Shuntianfu and responds to all parties at any time.

Although the cavalry of 5,000 men was not a large number, it may not have played much role in this situation.

However, this cavalry team is different from other cavalry teams in that this is the first light cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty to be fully equipped with arquebuses!

Through training, it has become familiar with changing ammunition, shooting and galloping on horseback at the same time.

Unlike the Ming Army's Shenji Battalion, which held a stick and had a tubular burning stick made of iron in front of it, this was a real, aiming and range-based gun.

Although it is not so accurate, it is naturally countless times stronger than these most primitive firearms.

If it is in the case of a large corps operation, this arquebus may not be as powerful as those fireworks, one by one, but it is more convenient.

Especially after being equipped with cavalry, with the innate mobility of cavalry, no one dares to underestimate the power of such an army.

As long as you use the troops properly and are not dragged by the trap, in the case of medium and close range, you can shoot directly from a distance, and even after dismounting, you can also act as a team of gunners.

It can be said that there are basically no drawbacks and can be applied in any combat scenario.

In general, Zhu Zhanji, who knew that the entire Ming Dynasty was about to enter the storm, naturally did not leave any room and was making full preparations.

Ten days passed quickly.

Just when everyone was waiting for the news to come back from outside Shanhaiguan, the first battle report to be sent back to the imperial court was not from outside Shanhaiguan, but from Yuqian, Saibei.

The current leader of the Warat tribe, Gulos Tohuan, the son of Mahamu, and the father of Yexian, the historical leader of the Warat tribe who conquered the entire Eastern Mongolia before Yexian, led the Warat tribe to regain the land that had been defeated by the Ming army.

Extreme Soul Chaos

Although they can't do anything about them, they can cut them off in the middle.

The defenders stationed in the various cities were forced out of the city to fight.

Although 50,000 troops were left in these cities in Mobei at the beginning, after these troops were distributed in various cities, the number of people in each city was not too large, and there were only a few thousand people in each city.

Although the defense of the city is sufficient, wanting to go out of the city to fight those Mongol cavalry armies is tantamount to a fool's dream.

And the second news that reached the court was that the Jurchens of Nuer Gandusi had rebelled!

They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to completely get rid of the Ming Dynasty's rule over them.

The third is from Annan, which is now Cochin.

Li Li proclaimed himself the king of Pingding, and Lanshan Township raised troops against the Ming, and there were rebels such as Pan Bang, Zheng Zheng, and Li Yu in response.

The fourth one came from Shandong and Nanzhili, and after the deployment of reserve Japanese troops, the coastal areas of Shandong and Nanzhili did not have much defense power against those Japanese who secretly landed.
