Chapter 27 Winning the hearts of the people

Immediately afterwards, a large group of cavalry poured out of the camp of the Gongtu Division.

Obviously, the Gongtu Department also thought that it was Emperor Chongzhen and wanted to arrest him back.

Seeing this, Li Yan no longer hesitated, Chongzhen must not let the Mongols capture him.

Because this involves whether it is legal for Dashun to replace Daming, and it involves the inheritance of the legal system.

At that moment, Li Yan shouted loudly while stepping forward: "Second brother, you go to arrest Chongzhen, third brother, you and I will intercept and kill the cavalry of the Gongtu tribe, and you must buy enough time for the second brother!" ”

"Brother, don't worry." Li Mu laughed and said, "It's a trivial matter, it doesn't take much effort!" ”

"Don't be careless!" Li Yan reminded loudly, "Don't hurt Chongzhen's life!" ”

"Brother, don't worry, you won't make a mistake." Li Mu reined in the reins of his horse and faced the dozen cavalry Ming troops.

More than 100 horsemen behind Li Mu also unfolded, wrapping the dozen horsemen in the middle in a fan-shape.

The dozen or so cavalry of the Ming army were also fierce, and they were not afraid in the face of ten times the number of enemy cavalry, and began to draw their bows and release arrows from a distance of a hundred paces, first light arrows and then heavy arrows.

Scattered arrows fell, and thieves continued to fall from their horses.

Li Mu didn't care, they could still afford this casualty.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides entered within twenty paces, and the Ming cavalry switched to the three-eyed gun and the thunderbolt gun.

With the loud sound of the gun, the rogue cavalry suddenly turned on their backs, and the casualties were great, and more than twenty rogue thieves fell from their horses at once.

"Damn!" Li Mou's teeth were about to be crushed.

These are all old people brought out by Henan.

But fortunately, the cavalry of the Ming army is also this one.

The Three-Eyed Gun and Thunderbolt are powerful but troublesome to load.

After releasing a row of guns, the cavalry on both sides collided violently.

Li Mu was facing the "Chongzhen" in the middle of the Ming army wearing mountain armor.

Worried about hurting Chongzhen, Li Mu didn't dare to stab, but swept the silver gun in his hand and easily swept "Chongzhen" off the horse, and the whole process can be said to be uneventful.

But the other more than ten cavalry cavalry of the Ming Army were stabbed into a sieve in an instant.

"Leave a team of people and take Chongzhen well!" The silver spear in Li Mou's hand pointed at Chongzhen on the ground, and said, "The rest will be killed with me and kill the Mongols!" ”

The thieves responded.

……

Under the cover of night, Chongzhen and his party quietly came behind the parapet.

Separated by a parapet wall more than five feet high and a trench less than three steps wide, not far in front of the battlefield, the rogue cavalry and the cavalry of the Gongtu tribe had already started a large-scale melee.

The flames shone brightly, the arrows flew one after another, and the swords and swords were mixed.

There were constantly thieves or cavalry of the Arch Rabbit Division falling off their horses, and the screams of the soldiers on both sides were also intertwined.

Hu Xinshui, Wang Jiayan and other ministers couldn't help but look at Zhu Gaoyuan who was standing in the middle, and said one by one, the saint really used soldiers like a god, just using an old eunuch, a mountain armor and a dozen family members, so that the Gongtu tribe and the thieves fell into a melee, and it was a large-scale melee that never stopped.

Not surprisingly, their monarchs will soon be able to leave this hellish place.

"Hu Aiqing." Zhu Gaoyuan suddenly turned around and asked Hu Xinshui beside him, "Who do you say will win?" ”

"In the end, the winner is naturally Da Ming and Shengshang." Hu Xinshui let out a sigh of relief and said, "After all, the thieves and the Gongtu tribe are just making wedding dresses for Da Ming and Shengshang. ”

Zhu Gaoyuan smiled and said, "I mean, who will win between the thieves and the Arch Rabbit Tribe?" ”

"The Holy One asks this? That's definitely a thief winning. Hu Xinshui said without thinking, "The minister has fought with the thieves, and he is also very familiar with the Arch Rabbit Department, if the two sides start a chase battle on the grassland, the thieves will be defeated, but if it is a hand-to-hand melee like now, the Arch Rabbit Department will inevitably lose." ”

"I think so, too." Zhu Gaoyuan said with a smile.

Turning his head to look at the eastern sky, Zhu Gaoyuan said again: "Hu Aiqing, your thousand Yiding can start preparing, just wait for the melee between the thieves and the Gongtu Department to end, it will be their turn to show their skills." ”

Hu Xinshui turned around and bowed lightly to Hu Guozhu behind him, and Hu Guozhu replied lightly.

Immediately, Hu Guozhule turned his horse's head and returned to Yiding's cavalry ranks, and the Yiding had already retrieved their battle robes, although they were only baked until they were half-dry, but they were no longer wet and cold.

What Hu Guozhu didn't expect was that Zhu Gaoyuan actually followed quietly.

"Holy Lord, you?" I can't see the expression on Hu Guozhu's face clearly in the dark, but it is estimated that it will not look good.

"I'm here to see you." Zhu Gaoyuan waved his hand, crossed Hu Guozhu and went straight to the front row of Mongolian Yiding, not surprisingly, this should be the hundred households of the left battalion, that is, senior officers.

As a traverser, of course Zhu Gaoyuan will not pin all his hopes of subduing this thousand Yiding on Hu Xinshui, but it is far from enough to buy a Hu Xinshui, and the senior officers of this thousand Yiding must also be bought, three hundred years later, there is a warlord surnamed Jiang who has continuously disintegrated the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Hunan Army through this hand, and one of the things that Jiang likes to do most at that time is to pull the senior officers of the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army, the Sichuan Army and the Hunan Army to take a group photo.

It's impossible to take pictures now, but it's okay to pull the Yiding officers under Hu Xinshui to pull home.

"Your name is Wu Jiaotan, aren't you?" Zhu Gaoyuan urged the horse to walk to the first Yiding officer and asked with a smile.

"The saint has a good memory, and the last general is the charcoal." Wu Jiaotan looked a little flattered, don't look at the usual times they Liao Ding and Yi Ding are full of complaints about the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen, but this does not prevent them from recognizing the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen in their hearts.

"Your Great Ming official is very good."

"It's been almost 20 years since the last general moved to Liaoxi."

"It's been almost 20 years since I moved to Liaoxi, have you married a wife and had children?"

"I got married, and I gave birth to four sons, the eldest of whom was twelve years old."

"The eldest son is already twelve years old, he should have entered school at this age, has he passed the children's test?"

Wu Jiaotan's face showed sadness, and he said in a low voice: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, our Yimin who moved to Han land is regarded as the equivalent of a lowly nationality, and cannot enter the school, let alone participate in the imperial examination. ”

"Oh, this is the rule of the ancestors, this is really no way."

The small flame that had just risen in the eyes of the vultures was immediately extinguished again.

However, Zhu Gaoyuan's next sentence immediately rekindled the flame of hope in the woods.

Zhu Gaoyuan said: "The ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty cannot be changed lightly, but you can find a way to bypass it, so let's do it, I will give you the place of origin of the military household, so that your sons can go to school." ”

"Thank you." Wu Jiaotan was overjoyed when he heard this.

Wu Jiangtan immigrated to western Liaoning for nearly 20 years, and his way of thinking has been completely sinicized, thinking that the road of studying and taking the imperial examination is 10,000 times better than eating food as a soldier, so Zhu Gaoyuan's move to give him military status really scratched his itch.

At this moment, Wu Jiaotan was really grateful to Zhu Gaoyuan.

The other Yiding officers in the front row also cast envious glances.

Obviously, the thoughts of these Yiding officers are similar to those of the Wujiaotan.

Zhu Gaoyuan urged the horse to walk up to the second Yiding officer, and asked with a smile, "Do you also speak official language?" ”

"When you return to the saints, you will speak official words at the end." The second Yiding officer straightened his chest and said loudly, "The last general's name is Mengketu, and he has been moving to Liaoxi for nearly twenty years. ”

"Fierce rabbit? Are you from the Arch Rabbit tribe? ”

"Yes, but twenty years ago, the previous generation of the Gongtu tribe turned their backs on Lin Dan Khan and took refuge in Jiannu, so we moved to Liaoxi with the general."

"Have you married and had children?"

"I married two and gave birth to three sons."

"Good son, I also have three sons."

"Holy Lord, can you also reward the last general with a military status?"

"Of course, you deserve it." Zhu Gaoyuan turned his gaze to all the Yiding in the line, and said, "Every soldier who fights for the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a Han, a Yi or a Mongolian, is eligible to obtain a military status. ”

Hearing this, dozens of Yidington in the front row cheered.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Zhu Gaoyuan was so frightened that he hurriedly signaled Yi Ding to silence.

Looking back, I saw that the thieves and the cavalry of the Arch Rabbit Department were still fighting fiercely.

Zhu Gaoyuan continued to urge the horse to move forward and talk to the remaining Yiding officers.

Most of these Yiding officers have been living in western Liaoning for more than ten years, and most of them have learned the official language, and they can basically communicate directly with Zhu Gaoyuan, and only a few officers need to translate Wu Jiaotan.

After pulling a lot of homely things, when he left, Zhu Gaoyuan could clearly feel that the eyes of these Yiding officers looking at him had become different, and it was a joke to say that Natou would worship him only from now on, but there was no doubt that these Yiding officers recognized him more.

It's a good start anyway.

In time, Zhu Gaoyuan believed that this Qianyiding would only recognize him, and at that time, neither Wu Sangui nor Hu Xinshui's father and son would be able to command this Qianyiding.

And he Chongzhen will be able to use this thousand Yiding as the team and follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao to establish three thousand battalions.

Then in the future, the Ming Dynasty will have at least one cavalry unit that dares to fight with Jiannu in the wild, so that the Northern Expedition will not be too passive.
