Chapter 12: The Tough Guy Emperor

Two days later, Hu Xinshui led a thousand Yiding out of the Great Wall from Xifengkou.

Hu Guozhu, who was only seventeen years old, urged Ma to come to Hu Xinshui and asked, "Abba, I heard that the Jingshi has fallen, and Emperor Chongzhen has also run away, are the rumors true?" ”

Hu Xinshui said softly: "It's true." ”

"Huh?" Hu Guozhu said, "Isn't that Da Ming dead?" ”

Hu Xinshui said: "Even if it hasn't perished, it is estimated that it will not last for a few days." ”

Hu Guozhu said: "Then what should we do?" Not only have we fought with thieves, but we also have a deep blood feud with Jiannu, isn't there no place for us to live in the world? ”

Hu Xinshui said: "You don't need to worry about this, because someone is more anxious than us." ”

Hu Guozhu said: "Abba, do you mean Ping Xibo? What the hell does Pinxiber think? ”

Hu Xinshui shook his head and said: "Abba doesn't know what Ping Xibo thinks, but Abba knows that the sky will only hit the tall man first, so we just need to follow Ping Xibo, if the thief can even let Ping Xibo go, then you and my father and son will be fine, if the thief doesn't let go of Ping Xibo, it's not too late for us to see the opportunity to act." ”

Hu Guozhu said: "Then what are we going to do when we enter Yanshan this time?" ”

"Catch Chongzhen." Hu Xinshui said.

"Huh? Catch Chongzhen? Scratch? Hu Guozhu was stunned when he heard this.

"Isn't Chongzhen the emperor? Ping Xibo asked us to arrest the emperor? He wants to rebel? ”

"He shouldn't dare to rebel, at least not now." Hu Xinshui said abruptly, "If I guess correctly, Wu Sangui should want to learn from Cao Cao and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." ”

Hu Xinshui doesn't read much, but the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is about to fall into ruins.

He knew the allusion that Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

He said: "Or maybe I just want to dedicate Chongzhen to the thief and change it to a big official." ”

"My son understood." Hu Guozhu said, "These Han people have a lot of hearts. ”

"It's not about you, my father and son." Hu Xinshui shook his head and said, "We just have to do our own errands and arrest Chongzhen back for Wu Sangui." ”

……

Let's go back to Zhu Gaoyuan.

After leading more than 1,000 men and horses to cross the Great Wall from the stone beams, Zhu Gaoyuan did not stay too long in the border area, but continued to go north to the territory of Chahar Mongolia.

As a time-traveler and a lover of Ming history,

Zhu Gaoyuan knows very well what the current situation is in Chahar Mongolia.

The co-ruler of Chahar Mongolia, a descendant of Genghis Khan's golden family, and the successor of Lin Dan Khan, had surrendered to Houjin eight years ago, but Huang Taiji had not had time to compile flags for the various tribes of Chahar Mongolia before his death, so now the Chahar Mongolian tribes are in fact in the era of tribal autonomy.

The tribe that occupies the forest and grassland area at the northern foot of Yanshan is called the Gongtu Department.

The Gongtu tribe was weaker among the dozens of tribes of the Chahar Mongols, numbering about 5,000 string controllers, and scattered over a narrow area of several hundred kilometers.

Therefore, compared to staying at the border, it is safer to go deep into the territory of the Gongtu Department.

However, Zhu Gaoyuan didn't plan to have any friction with the Gongtu tribe.

Because he came to take refuge, not to Chahar to fight in the grassy valley.

However, the world is so paradoxical that it does not depend on the will of man.

In the evening of that day, not long after the Ming army set up camp in a valley, Sun Xiangxian came to Zhu Gaoyuan happily, followed by two little eunuchs guarding the tomb.

The two little eunuchs also carried a struggling Mongolian woman.

"Hooray." Sun Xiangxian said with a flattering face, "The old slave just took a few sons to the nearby forest to pick up mushrooms, and found a few tents. ”

"And then?"

Zhu Gaoyuan's face darkened.

He had foreseen trouble coming to his door.

Then I saw a woman. Sun Xiangxian said with a smile, "The old slave found that this woman was quite handsome, so he wanted to bring her back to serve the Long Live Lord, but he never thought that other barbarians would dare to resist, so the old slave had to let his sons kill them all, and then bring this Northern Barbarian woman back." ”

Zhu Gaoyuan's face was already black to the bottom of the pot.

Sun Xiangxian asked the two little eunuchs to put the woman in front of Zhu Gaoyuan.

Sun Xiangxian said flatteringly: "Long live Lord, look at this woman, she looks quite delicate, right?" It is bitterly cold in the mountains, and it is not suitable for the Lord to have no woman waiting for him. ”

"Qingxiu?" Zhu Gaoyuan looked at the Mongolian woman in front of him in a daze.

Thick eyebrows and big eyes, unkempt hair, and the Mongolian robe on his body was stained with oil.

That's it, when he opened his mouth and roared, he showed a mouth full of big yellow teeth!

Sun Xiangxian, Sun Xiangxian, are you afraid that there is some misunderstanding of the word Qingxiu?

However, Zhu Gaoyuan was more concerned about another thing, and said with a dark face: "Did someone run away?" ”

"Uh......" Sun Xiangxian's expression was suffocated, and his eyes began to flicker, as if he was weighing it in his heart.

Zhu Gaoyuan's face turned completely cold, and he shouted: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will destroy your Sun Clan's Nine Clans!" ”

"Long live your life!" Sun Xiangxian was so frightened that he knelt down with a pop, kowtowed like pounding garlic and said, "The old slave is incompetent, let a little cub run away, long live the life!" ”

"Damn it!" Zhu Gaoyuan stood up.

Seeing Zhu Gaoyuan get up, Gong Yonggu, Wang Jiayan and other noble officials nearby gathered one after another.

"Zhuqing, something happened!" Zhu Gaoyuan kicked Sun Xiangxian hard, and said, "This dog slave provoked the Arch Rabbit Department, and the cavalry of the Arch Rabbit Department should soon come to the door to take revenge!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Wenbing lost his voice and said, "How is this good?" ”

Zhu Gaoyuan glared at Liu Wenbing, a small Mongolian tribe scared you like this?

Liu Wenbing realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly shrunk his neck and hid behind Gong Yonggu.

"But you don't have to worry too much." Zhu Gao said from afar, "It is impossible for the Gongtu Department to gather too many people in a hurry, and they don't know how many people we have come. ”

Wang Jiayan nodded and said: "Not surprisingly, most of the Gongtu Department will think that we are border troops who have crossed the Great Wall to rob, and in this case, there will be at most a hundred or ten horsemen who come to take revenge." ”

A hundred or so Mongolian cavalry is indeed not a lot.

But looking at the rabble around him, Zhu Gaoyuan still didn't dare to take it lightly.

The lion fights the rabbit and still has to do his best, not to mention that this time he has to face the Mongolian cavalry who lives on horseback?

Zhu Gaoyuan immediately said: "Gather all the baggage, build a parapet wall in the valley, and arrange all the firearms behind the parapet wall, divide them into three teams, and wait for the cavalry of the Gongtu Department to charge, and then step forward and shoot again and again!" The cavalry, without firearms, lay in ambush in the left and right forests, and outflanked and intercepted the cavalry of the Gongtu Division after falling into confusion. ”

After a pause, Zhu Gaoyuan said in an accentuated tone: "Don't miss a person!" ”

At this time, he can't be merciful, otherwise it will be a big trouble to summon the main force of the Arch Rabbit Department, and Zhu Gaoyuan doesn't want to survive in the gap between the thieves and the cavalry of the Arch Rabbit Department.

In just one and a half hours, the Ming army built a parapet wall in the valley.

The parapet was about five feet high and consisted of bread bales, stones, wood, and pack horses tied to their limbs.

The parapet wall had just been built, and there was a faint sound of horses' hooves on the grassland outside the valley mouth.

The scouts who were cruising outside the valley also galloped back.

"Holy Lord, the enemy is riding to, there are about two hundred horses!"

It's a little bit more than expected, but it's still within the scope of bearing.

Zhu Gaoyuan was about to climb out of the parapet as soon as he jumped over, but was stopped by Wang Jiayan and Jin Xuan.

Wang Jiayan was about to cry urgently: "Holy Lord, the son of a daughter can't sit in the hall, with the dignity of the son of heaven and can't be in danger, just hand over the matter of charging into battle to the ministers." ”

Jin Xuan also said: "Holy Lord, please leave this battle to the command of the minister." ”

"Get out of the way." Zhu Gaoyuan struggled to break free from the two of them and climbed out of the parapet, "I am the Son of Heaven, with the protection of God and the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, it will be easy, and it will be fine!" ”

Ancestors protect or something, of course this is.

Zhu Gaoyuan just thinks that this is the best time to build an image.

For a long time, Chongzhen gave the ministers the impression that Wen Tao was insufficient and had no military strategy, and his diligence was affirmed by almost all ministers, and he was barely a diligent king.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoyuan wants to create the image of a heroic emperor with Wen Taowu strategy.

In particular, the military strategy can be said to be very important for the future Northern Expedition.

As a traverser, Zhu Gaoyuan knows very well that it is the general trend for Daming to surrender to Jiangnan.

Then after the surrender of Jiangnan, a similar situation in the Southern Song Dynasty will inevitably occur, that is, the group of scholars and officials in Jiangnan will prevent the Northern Expedition out of their own interests.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoyuan must reshape Chongzhen's image and create a heroic image of Wen Taowu.

Only by becoming a tough guy emperor like Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu can it be possible to make a decision and vigorously promote the Northern Expedition, otherwise he will never want to fight back to Beijing.

"Holy Lord, swords and guns have no eyes, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!"

Wang Jiayan, Wu Linzheng and other ministers still wanted to dissuade them, but they were interrupted by Zhu Gaoyuan with a wave of his hand.

"Shut up, no in case!" Zhu Gaoyuan shouted, "I am the Son of Heaven, there will be no problem, if there is really an unforeseen disaster, it is also the will of heaven, and it is not human to disobey!" ”

Wang Jiayan and others were dumbfounded.

Providence is like this, and it is not human power to disobey it?

Listen, is this talking about human language? You faint man!

Zhu Gaoyuan no longer paid attention to Wang Jiayan and the others, and shouted: "Ready!" ”

More than 300 musketeers lined up behind the parapet and lit the arquebuses.

Most of these musketeers were eunuchs of the Pure Army and soldiers of the Beijing battalion who guarded each gate.

Regardless of whether it is a pure army or a Beijing battalion soldier, repeating and shooting is a tactic that is often practiced.

The historical method of repeating the shooting first appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the crossbow was used at that time.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Ying, the Duke of Qianguo, introduced a more repeated firing method to firearms during the conquest of Yunnan, and achieved great results.

Therefore, the three-stage strike method was not pioneered by Gustav.
