"This is the battle of the elites!"

Yang Feng stood on the top of the mountain not far away, looking at the fierce battle of Tianjing Pass with a telescope.

The nearly 400 reinforcements that arrived first immediately stabilized the situation on the verge of rout.

It's a regular army.

A soldier in full armor, picking up all kinds of cold weapons in his hands, melee with the siege of the Shenji Battalion on the wall of Tianjing Pass, fighting in the smoke of grenade explosions, although everyone is actually a military household of the guard, but the Shenji Battalion is from the capital, although most of the military households of Ningshanwei are also migrated to the south, and there is not much emotion after nearly thirty years......

When it comes to fighting, nothing else is considered.

The young men who had been defeated also returned, rearranging their rapid-fire guns on the hill, and then continuing to aim their guns outside the city.

Xie Cheng was still urging the attack.

There is no other choice in this situation, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

The topography of Tianjing Pass determines that it is to fight the will.

The artillery of both sides was bombarding each other, the arquebuses were firing at each other, the explosion of guns and grenades, accompanied by the shouts of soldiers echoed in the mountains, and the smoke of black powder filled the air, making the entire patio pass as if it was shrouded in a black fog, and the firelight continued to shine in this fog.

"But you're like this, what will the imperial grandson think in the future?

He treats you as a friend. ”

Zhang Ying stood next to him and said.

She just rushed back from the capital, mainly because Yang Feng has been playing more and more recently, and the little princess is a little uneasy, although she is not very worried that Yang Feng will have an accident, but this is all her relatives, Yang Feng has been out for more than half a year, and she has lost a brother and a nephew......

That's a bit efficient!

In addition, her father does not seem to be in good health lately......

Of course, if you want to say that you won't die, it's normal to be old, after all, you are also looking at seventy.

Especially lately, I've been worrying a lot.

In short, the little princess asked Zhang Ying to hurry over and stare at the point.

Or let Yang Feng restrain himself.

However, as soon as Zhang Ying came, he caught up with Yang Feng and made a big deal, and actually instigated Diao Min and the military households of the guard to unite against the imperial grandson.

"He's definitely not going to treat me as a friend.

He only made him the emperor's grandson because he knew about my appearance, not Zhu Yunwen, so he naturally regarded me as an ally that could be relied upon, and then because he was young and easy to accept new things, he was influenced by the new ideas I brought in his daily interactions and established his ruling ideas.

Attention, is domination.

He is an emperor.

He was born to rule over all the peoples of the world.

Life and death, live in the world, and be an emperor like his grandfather.

And what do I want?

What I want is that the imperial power must be limited, and the people cannot kneel at the feet of the imperial power and be slaves.

It's different!

It can be said that it is not only him, no emperor will like me, he can use me, he can accept the new technology I brought, and even some new ideas that are beneficial to the emperor, but he will not allow me to cultivate a group of Diao people who dare to resist the imperial power. At this point, he is not even as good as his grandfather, who knows that the people are terrible, so he will compromise and then make concessions to the people when necessary, but he has not experienced the people rising for two or three generations.

They naturally thought that the people should bow down at their feet and bow down to their commands.

Don't think that he will cooperate with me to use the people to deal with his uncle, and get rid of a few important ministers who will pose a threat to him, so that he can accept the Diao people.

He's just using them.

It's over when it's over, do you think he will really accept a group of Diao people?

Do you think that if you come to Gong these people and deliberately provoke the intensification of contradictions, you really didn't get his instructions? He is the real mastermind behind the scenes, and it was he who asked Lai Gong and these people to deliberately bring me in, deal with the fight together, ignite the fire under the tense situation, and create an excuse for the imperial court to send troops into Shanxi to finish. If my guess is correct, the armies of Chang Sheng, Sun Ke, and Guo Ying have been waiting at various passes for a long time, and once Xie Cheng successfully opens the Tianjing Pass, they will force their way into Shanxi with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai, and then force the people to hand over their firearms with the threat of victory.

Eventually, rule was restored.

Let me follow, in fact, it is a hint that I don't interfere and give me an excuse to quit, after all, those Diao people beat me to death in front of me, and they didn't give me face.

Then I can quit with dignity. ”

Yang Feng said.

The whole incident was masterminded by Zhu Yunxi.

The imperial grandson also thinks that the Diao people have no use value, and they can unload the mill and kill the donkey, and it is also impossible for him to accept a group of Diao people who can resist the imperial power and force the imperial power to accept the will of the people. Before, it was just to use these Diao people to achieve the goal, but now the goal has been achieved, the king of Jin is dead, and the king of Zhou is taken by him, and in fact there is no longer a threat. He has even found a fief for the king of Zhou, and in Xiningwei in Longyou, he set aside a piece of Huangzhong as a fief for the king of Zhou, and kept two guards, and the court will not give the king of Zhou any more money.

Of course, when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, he still had to send it to him.

In this way, the king of Zhou asked to move to the domain.

Then he took the guards adapted from Xining Wei and a guard selected from the original guards to fend for himself in the Xining area.

Of course, his guard general Yu Lu must still have it.

The vassal king's guards are also from the imperial court, and they were originally made by the imperial court, the palace is the palace, and the guards are guards, so in fact, it is equivalent to throwing the king of Zhou in Xining to make a living by himself, and he is also watched by the generals of the two guards, so he doesn't have to worry about doing things.

Of course, if you don't want to go, you can go.

Ask for the withdrawal of the feudal domain.

Then with the title of vassal king, he went to the capital to build a palace for him as a prince, and gave him the Yulu that should be given every year, and his descendants will not continue to be crowned any county kings and generals in the future, so they will inherit the title of a Zhou king, and receive a share of the Zhou king's Yulu every year.

And the rest fend for themselves.

You can study and take the imperial examination to become an official, and you don't need to lead troops to fight.

In short, after the emperor's grandson succeeded to the throne, all the vassal kings either took the fief to fend for themselves, or entered the capital to inherit a hereditary title as a duke.

So King Zhou took the lead in this.

And Fu Youde died, the Jin clan had no foreign aid to rely on, Feng Sheng died, and the Zhou clan had no foreign aid to rely on. Therefore, the task of Diao Min is completed, there is no need for it, the negotiation is just that the imperial grandson wants to end decently, after all, he can't break his promise, and he has to give Yang Feng a decent ending.

Now it's OK.

It's not that the imperial grandson doesn't want to negotiate with them, Diao Min is too ignorant and killed a right capital imperial history, how can this be negotiated?

】

It's not that Ambassador Yang is unwilling to uphold justice for the people of Shanxi, and Diao Min is too faceless and beats his old friend to death in front of him to come to Duxian, so how can Ambassador Yang administer justice to them? In short, it's all the fault of the people.

Diao Min is too ignorant!

But......

Yang Feng didn't want this.

"What if he can't get here?"

Zhang Ying said.

"If you can't open it, you will continue to increase it until His Majesty the Emperor orders him to stop, a real large-scale war is also something that His Majesty the Emperor wants to avoid, so even if he can't open the Tianjing Pass, the troops from other directions will not enter Shanxi. Because the Shenji Battalion could not open the Tianjing Pass, it meant that the people's resistance was very strong, and even if the imperial court attacked on a large scale, the result was likely to turn into a continuous war.

At least not in the short term.

This is what His Majesty the Emperor wants to avoid, firstly, he does not have much military and financial resources, and there is a large-scale civil war when there are wars in Annam and Guizhou, and he has to ship ships to go to the Americas.

Second, the people of Shanxi do not have many demands, at least he is not unacceptable, he just doesn't want to start this way, he needs to take a little means, but just a little means, this matter is not worth a large-scale war.

So it will only attack at Tianjing Pass.

Then, depending on the degree of resistance of the people, decide whether to accept their demands or not.

Therefore, now it is necessary to let the people resist here, until the emperor and grandson understand that if he does not compromise with the people, then the price he will pay will be great.

That's when the real negotiations are made. ”

Yang Feng said.

"There seems to be someone down there!"

Zhang Ying said suddenly.

She was lying on the laser pointer.

This thing is multi-purpose, laser pointing, ranging, and of course there is also relatively long-distance infrared detection, Yang Feng then pushed her away, lying on it and looking at the mountains and forests below, it was obvious that there were a large number of camouflaged personnel moving forward, and their target was ......

"Xie Cheng is going to be unlucky."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Indeed, Xie Cheng is going to be unlucky.

Because these people with obvious camouflage on their bodies were moving towards Xie Cheng's rear under the cover of the dense forest, they were walking at the bottom of the ditch below Tianjing Pass at this time, and Tianjing Pass was a very steep ridge on both sides, and the height difference was covered by grass and trees in summer, and it was difficult for Xie Cheng to find them. Yang Feng lay on it and watched their figures on the passive infrared detector, and at this time, the battle at Tianjing Pass continued, and another support army arrived behind the defenders, still the military households. They all have iron armor, which can be said to be a great advantage, but the vast majority of young people don't have it, after all, the people originally forbade Tibetan armor, and even if they rushed to make cloth armor, it was not completed so quickly.

Soon an hour passed, and the attacking team also arrived behind Xie Cheng, and they were still cautiously approaching Xie Cheng's Chinese army along the relatively gentle mountain.

At this time, Yang Feng noticed that at the highest point of Tianjing Pass, several flags changed from time to time.

"There's still a command for this."

He said with a smile.

So the Ming army at this time is really elite!

The Shenji Battalion stormed Tianjing Pass, facing the shotgun charge of rapid-fire guns, and the defenders still held on fearlessly in the face of the round-fire platoon guns of countless arquebuses outside and the bombardment of field artillery.

Now even infiltration raids are used.

He watched as the attacking team suddenly accelerated, then threw off the camouflage on his body, quickly rushed out of the dense forest, and one by one held the three-eyed guns, taking advantage of the fact that Xie Cheng's Chinese soldiers on the opposite side were caught off guard, and fired a salvo at the fastest speed. Although the power of this thing is insufficient, the rate of fire is absolutely fast, and hundreds of three-eyed guns complete a salvo in a very short time, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers who have completed the shooting shouted and rushed straight towards Xie Cheng. Xie Cheng's Chinese soldiers immediately met the battle, but because of the terrain restrictions, his Chinese army did not have many people in front of the raid, after all, this was a mountain ridge, although hundreds of personal soldiers were arranged around, but most of them were in the forest.

Attackers are not always visible in the shade of the trees that flourish in summer.

Likewise, the trees and the undulating hills prevented them from supporting with bows and arrows and firearms.

However, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion in front quickly turned around and reinforced.

Dozens of shirtless soldiers with long knives in the raid team were extremely brave, and they frantically slashed and killed the soldiers gathered in front of them, and in a short period of time, they relied on their bravery and fearlessness to cut out the melee team and then rushed towards Xie Cheng.

The latter had already mounted his horse and rushed towards the reinforced soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

The rest of the soldiers converged on the mountain road.

But among those attackers, several arquebuses were erected and immediately fired at Xie Cheng.

Gunshots rang out, and the war horse of Yongping Hou fell in response.

He reacted quickly, and then threw down the grass on the side of the road, and then pulled out his knife, and the attackers of those long knives had already arrived not far away, and the pro-soldiers who were arriving struggled to intercept them, but one of the long knives in his hand was obviously brave, and in a blink of an eye, he slashed over the two pro-soldiers and then came to Xie Cheng. Xie Cheng immediately raised his sword to meet the battle, but the officer of the Shenji Battalion who arrived on horseback behind obviously shouted, and he immediately fell to the ground, and at the same time, the officer raised his flintlock short gun and pulled the trigger, but the long knife hand did not fall, but stopped for a moment and then swung the knife forward. However, this was enough time, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion behind the officer took the opportunity to raise their arquebuses and fired a volley at him from nearly a hundred meters away, and the long knife hand fell in the impact of the bullet.

At this time, the other long knife hands were also destroyed.

Later, their companions realized their defeat, and everyone quickly retreated towards the dense forest, and while retreating, some of the soldiers took out grenades and ignited them under the cover of their companions.

The explosion sounded chaotically.

The pro-soldiers who were originally preparing to pursue hurriedly dodged.

The attacker seemed to appear suddenly, and quickly retreated under the cover of gunsmoke, it can be said that the sneak attack was decisive, the retreat was crisp, and the advance and retreat were like the wind, and this should be just a group of ordinary soldiers in a certain Baihutun.

It can be said that all the Ming troops participating in the war, no matter which side they were, showed strength worthy of their prestige of dominating the world and even smashing the fishing sea.

On the mountain road that quickly ended the battle, Xie Cheng was there to hate and kick the dead body of the long knife hand.

But he also calmed down.

Immediately after that, the order was given to temporarily stop the offensive, after all, the current situation is complicated, and it is nothing to just Diao Min, but the military households also joined, then the problem is serious.

"This looks like a personal vendetta!"

Yang Feng said with interest.

It was obvious that those long knife men were trying to kill Xie Cheng.

"He has been the commander of Shanxi for many years, and he has also been the prime minister of Jin, how can he not save a hundred and ten enemies in the army for decades, if you fan the wind and light the fire, maybe more people will take the opportunity to take revenge, and it is not only the friendship of colleagues who lead the troops to fight, but also a lot of old grudges, since my father returned to the imperial court, there are still many generals in the army who secretly want to kill him!"

Zhang Ying said.
