The mortars ammunition benchmark of the Ming army was ten shells.

This time, the army went deep into the mountains and forests, and rushed from Dayong County to the outside of Yongshun Peng's Tusi City, bringing only one benchmark ammunition.

But when the artillery had just used up half of the base ammunition, the Yongshun Peng's Tusi City, which had a history of unknown how many years old it had stood in the middle of this high mountain, collapsed with a roar.

The officers and soldiers of the infantry battalion began to encircle Peng's Tusi City from the northeast and southwest.

The fire gun opens the way, and the strong crossbow assists.

In the end, the officers and soldiers armed with knives and guns could only catch some leaks.

As the people from the infantry battalion were dispatched, the people from the artillery battalion suddenly became bored.

Even though the accuracy of the Ming army's firearms has made a qualitative leap compared with previous years, it is so late at night and in an unfamiliar terrain environment, no one can guarantee that the shells will not fall at the feet of their comrades-in-arms when they cross the mountains and forests.

Puding Marquis Chen Huan, who was following Zhu Yunxi, was also a little bored.

The way of war has changed a lot.

The war that the Ming Dynasty is waging now is completely different from the founding battle he experienced thirty years ago.

At that time, even if he led his troops south and fought with these toasts, it was the bright knives of both sides, and the white knives came in and the red knives came out.

Right now.

I haven't even seen the people of the Yongshun Peng family until now, the other side of the mountain forest is already full of fire, and the ashes under the starry sky seem to be the stars falling.

Even the people who walked the barracks had already gone out.

There wasn't much movement ahead.

The war went smoothly and was a mess.

"When Marquis Puding returns to Beijing this time, it's time to go to the martial arts hall to stay for a while."

Zhu Yunxi lost the mind to observe the battle, and looked sideways at Chen Huan, who was bored beside him.

Chen Huan immediately bowed his head: "The old minister is just a little old, probably really old." ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "This is where to go, when the Ministry of Industry and the general supervisor develop a larger-caliber mortar, there is no need for the brothers in the military camp to come out at a low ebb."

As long as a few cannons go down, the Tusi City of the Peng family on the opposite side can be reduced to ruins, and the brothers in our army only need to wait until dawn and go over to clean up the battlefield. ”

Chen Huan's face was a little surprised.

Just looking at the people in the artillery barracks who have begun to clear their positions, he feels that what Taisun just said may really come true one day in the future.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Huan's face finally showed a slight smile, and he said softly: "This is a blessing for the country, the soldiers have fewer casualties, and it is also the pursuit of the generals." ”

Zhu Yunxi snorted and ordered: "Annoyed Chen Hou take someone to Peng Family Tusi City, after dealing with the affairs here, you have to arrive at Yongshun County before dawn, and the imperial court will take over Yongshun County." ”

If Yongshun is taken, Baojing Prefecture in the south will not be a problem, and the Tusi power in Huguang Province that can be called the emperor of Tuzhou will be completely eliminated.

And the Tusi of Huguang Road were taken down and changed to return to the stream, which means that the entire southwest Tusi force was torn apart.

Next, it's just a matter of advancing in turn.

Chen Huan immediately received the order.

Now, even if you just let yourself take someone to clean up the battlefield, it's better than letting him stay here with nothing to do.

looked at Chen Huan and led people away.

Zhu Yunxi also led a team of men and horses from the northeast side of Peng's Tusi City to approach the past.

He didn't walk into the range of Peng's Tusi City, but just stood outside Tusi City, which could look directly at the Tusi City that had turned into a sea of fire.

In the firelight, the houses with the characteristics of the southwestern natives fell one by one, swallowed by the unscrupulous sea of fire.

The narrow city wall built by the Peng family according to the mountain has also been torn apart by the previous artillery fire.

Before the fire.

A dark shadow walked out of the city.

It was the shadow of many people walking in front of the fire.

Behind them, the sky was filled with shimmering ashes, and the wood made a loud muffled sound as it burned through. As the building collapsed, there was a constant roar.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing were already covered with black ash at the moment, and their bodies were covered with ashes.

When the two of them came out of the city with their officers and soldiers, they could not find a single one clean.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing were also far away, and they saw Zhu Yunxi standing outside the city waiting for them.

Zhu Shangbing raised his head, and his nostrils were also full of black ash.

He opened his mouth and bared his teeth, the darkness between his teeth was clear and distinct.

"This mortar is a good thing, you can get me to the artillery barracks when you go back."

Zhu Shangbing came to Zhu Yunxi, and shouted that he was going to the artillery camp to be happy.

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes on the side: "If it weren't for the rise of your previous killing, would we be so embarrassed?" ”

Zhu Yunxi was silent, sitting and watching the two bickering.

Zhu Shangbing snorted, tilted his head and pouted: "If it weren't for my sharp killing of the enemy and my bravery, wouldn't I have to let that little cub of the Peng family run away?" ”

He said that when he was in Peng's Tusi City before, he chased Peng Yuan, Peng Zhong and his son to chop.

He wanted to kill the father and son of the Peng family, and the dead soldiers of the Peng family who had been raised for many years naturally did not allow it, and they desperately guarded them.

This also caused their retreat time to be extended, and in the end, they all ended up disgraced.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Shangbing: "If you let them go, they won't be able to escape." ”

Zhu Shangbing glanced at the soldiers and horses who were following Zhu Yunxi, closed his mouth, but glared at Zhu Gaochi silently.

Zhu Yunxi only laughed at this time, stepped forward and patted the shoulders of the two: "You two have worked hard this time, and you can rest in the future." ”

Fighting Yongshun Peng is a matter of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

It is to let the Tusi in the southwest see that the 100,000 mountains in the southwest that they relied on in the past are no longer their shelter.

The court wanted to beat them, and they didn't even know where the people from the court were beating them.

Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice: "According to what you said, let some people from the Peng family escape down the mountain from the west. Thinking that they didn't dare to go to Yongshun County, the biggest possibility was to go to Baojing Prefecture in the south.

Baojingzhou is also the person of the Peng family, although the relationship is far away, but after all, it is a surname.

When the people here have passed, they will surely know what the battle is going on tonight. The effect you want, you can probably achieve it. ”

Zhu Yunxi patted Zhu Gaochi's back again, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.

He said softly: "Let's go down the mountain first, although there is enough rain at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that this fire will not light this mountain forest tonight." ”

The crowd began to walk down the mountain.

Zhu Shangbing suddenly flashed and came to Zhu Yunxi's side.

Under Zhu Yunxi's puzzled gaze, he first glanced at Zhu Gaochi, who was walking in front, and then said in a suppressed voice: "You don't know, Brother Chi tonight is very different from normal days. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yunxi showed a curious look.

Zhu Shangbing's eyes flickered and said: "He was sitting with Peng Tianbao at the time, and he was still preparing to drink in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, Brother Chi didn't know where to get a dagger, and stabbed it into Peng Tianbao's neck. ”

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment.

The news brought by Xiao Han was beyond his expectations.

With his eyes blinking, Zhu Yunxi asked in a low voice, "So it was Brother Chi'er who did it first tonight?" ”

Zhu Shangbing nodded, but shook his head again: "It's not that we did it first, at that time, the people of the Peng family hiding in the shadows had already rushed to us." Then Brother Chi stabbed Peng Tianbao with such a knife. ”

Zhu Yunxi's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked up at Zhu Gaochi, who was still walking in front.

Zhu Shangbing continued to whisper in Zhu Yunxi's ear: "I think ah, he was just led crooked by you." In the future, you should say less in front of him, and when you return to Beijing after this time, you will let him stay in Beijing for a long time.

Anyway, in addition to the war, the court now has a basket of things, you can pick a few heavy things to put on his shoulders, lest he think about something that he doesn't have. ”

Zhu Yunxi still didn't speak.

Xiao Han's message to him surprised him.

Zhu Gaochi, who has been known for his benevolence and righteousness all his life, dared to kill the enemy chief with his own hands.

This can be regarded as the biggest gossip news of the Ming Dynasty this year.

I have to ask the newspaper bureau to open a separate column for Chubby.

The title is "Shock! Daming Yan Shizi, why do you stab people passionately late at night? 》

Zhu Shangbing looked at Zhu Yunxi for a long time and stopped talking, and immediately crossed his arm and bumped into the other party: "Did you hear what I said?" ”

"I heard it, I'll ask the book and newspaper bureau to open a column when I turn around, so that I can publicize the deeds of Brother Chi'er facing the enemy chief and personally slashing the other party."

"You!" Zhu Shangbing's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and then he took a sip of obscurity.

Reckless!

It's all reckless!

In order to avoid becoming a reckless man, Zhu Shangbing made a wise choice, and left the army with a team of men and horses, and ran to the front position, which was called opening the way for the army.

……

"The war in the southwest will probably not be too fierce. After all, the imperial court has been strong in the past two years, and everyone in the world can see it.

In the opinion of my sons, it is imperative for my family to abolish the southwest Tusi system. But how to do it is still a trade-off. ”

The Chinese army camp outside the city of Dayong.

Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, explaining to the old man who was lying on the bed.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted slightly, as if he was thinking about the situation in the southwest, and only after a long time did he whisper: "You talk about it, I'll listen." ”

Zhu Zhen nodded and continued: "In the end, these people below just want to make some benefits. If they really gave up their lives and tried their best to rebel against the court, not everyone was willing.

This time, Brother Xi took people to Yongshun, and Erchen and Brother Xi had the same idea, to eliminate the Peng family in Yongshun to deter other toasts in the southwest.

When the Yongshun Peng family is resolved, the imperial court can make another will, migrate these Tusi in the southwest, go to other places as officials, or directly summon them into the capital, and put them in any yamen to do a leisure errand. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was probably sleepy, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "It's okay, and less killing can be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue." It's just how to settle the southwest toast, but we still have to be cautious...... The lack of officials in the court is a radish and a pit...... It can't be as redundant and innumerable as the former Song Dynasty. ”

Zhu Zhen's eyes showed deep thought, and after a while, he spoke again.

"The four provinces of Yingzhou can be resettled, and there are already all kinds of waste waiting to be rebuilt now, and sending the southwest Tusi over can also make them useful, and it will not let them stay in the Central Plains, so as not to cause any trouble in the future."

Zhu Zhen's train of thought gradually unfolded, and his voice became more and more calm: "If this arrangement is feasible, such as the New World, and even the next imperial court passing through the Western Regions, it can be the same and let these toasts bring people over."

Whether it is the New World or the Western Regions, these toasts are rootless duckweed, and they can only rely on the imperial court completely.

And if they want to achieve something, they can only be loyal to the court and rely on the power of the court to work hard. ”

A long time ago, Zhu Yunxi said that none of the Ming clan in the Hongwu Dynasty was a wreck.

In the camp tent, Zhu Zhen said that his eyebrows were flying.

He didn't want to use this to make the old man take a fancy to his talents, and then transfer himself to heaven.

He did this entirely because the court, inside and outside the clan, really no one wanted to see this group of Tusi in the southwest, relying on the historical origin and the dangerous terrain of the southwest all day long, doing the things of the emperor of the soil.

It's just gradual.

Zhu Zhen noticed that something was wrong.

The old man hadn't squeaked for a long time.

He raised his head with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes and looked at the old man who was lying on his side on the bed.

"Daddy?"

Zhu Zhen called in a low voice, but there was no movement.

At this moment, Zhu Zhen panicked violently in his heart.

"Daddy!"

"Are you asleep?"

Zhu Zhen raised his voice, but still didn't see the old man respond.

By this time, Zhu Zhen was already trembling slightly, and his breathing was completely disrupted.

Nervously, he slowly raised his trembling arm and put his hand under the old man's nose.

"And gas! And gas! ”

Sensing that the old man was fine, Zhu Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but still put the back of his hand on the old man's forehead with some unease.

Whew.

Zhu Zhen stood up.

The old man is heating up!

In an instant, Zhu Zhen was already shocked into a cold sweat.

He immediately turned around and looked out of the tent: "Someone! Come on! Call the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital to come over! ”

"Hurry up and spread the message to Yongshun direction, call the grandson and the two princes to come back, and the army in front will be handed over to Chen Huan, Marquis of Puding!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhen immediately turned around, tensed all over, and slowly lay the sleepy old man on the bed.

Outside.

With the loud shout of Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, it was completely chaotic.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no movement outside the camp, I was afraid that the soldiers in the camp would think that it was the natives from the mountains who had come over.

A famous general rushed from all over the place to the outside of the Chinese army's big tent.

The accompanying imperial doctors rushed into the big tent one after another with medicine boxes.

There were also officers and soldiers on war horses, who rushed out of the camp desperately from the camp and set off in the direction of Yongshun.
