A series of explosions followed one after another, and smoke and dust rose from the air, almost obscuring the figures of the attacking soldiers.

Big Belle stood on a mound and looked ahead, blushing on his face. From time to time, he waved his horsewhip and whipped the land like a vent.

This is the sixth time in two days that it has encountered a blockade, trenches, barricades, musket fire, bomb bombardment, the tricks seem to have not changed, but it has caused Dai Shan and others a headache.

Mountains and forests, official roads, the Ming army fortified step by step, constantly killing and injuring Jiannu. Then he kept retreating, not giving Jiannu a chance to outflank and intercept him.

Of course, it's not that there is no chance left unavailable. A cavalry led by Sakhalian was violently ambushed on the circuitous route and nearly lost his life.

Only then did Dai Shan judge that the number of Ming troops in front of him was quite large, almost the same as the troops he led. According to his observations, at least three different establishment flags were seen.

Moreover, the change in the tactics of the Ming army made Dai Shan and others very uncomfortable.

In particular, the enhanced power of the Lu Mi Gun, whether it is the range or the armor-piercing ability, is not comparable to the bird gun, three-eyed, and fast gun that Jiannu encountered before.

Even though they were wearing heavy armor and blocked lead bullets from a long distance, many Jiannu suffered blunt injuries. or fractures, or internal organs are damaged, and the combat power is greatly reduced.

If you are shot at a close range, even if you are heavily armoured, you will not be able to withstand a burst of bullets.

And Jiannu's archery skills lost their original sharpness before the preset fortifications of the Ming army. A musket that is not weaker than the range of a bow and arrow can compete with it.

Of course, the resistance was a bit big, but the Ming army did not hold on to it, and the time to hold the position was no more than half a day. Several banner units seemed to be fighting in turns, alternating retreats.

"Father." The eldest son, Yue Tuo, rode his horse, jumped off the horse, ran straight to Dai Shan, bowed and saluted: "Now that we are close to the Yalu River, it is better to storm the two flags and defeat the enemy, so that they have nowhere to escape." ”

Dai Shan shook his head vigorously and said: "The strength of the enemy in front of you is only half, or even less, even if you storm the enemy, there will be another enemy behind you to defend and block." ”

Stretching out his hand and pointing to the battlefield in front of him, Dai Shan said in a tone of lesson: "Take a good look, the enemy's weapons and fighting style have changed. If we charge intensively, how many casualties will our army have? ”

Yue Tuo looked at the battlefield in front of him, and said helplessly: "Then we are so tepid and slow to attack and advance slowly?" ”

Dai Shan snorted, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "I have sent two thousand-man teams, divided into two armies, the north and the south, through the mountains and forests, and obliquely behind the enemy. ”

Yue Tuo's eyes lit up, and he bowed down and said, "Father is wise, this is really a clever plan. The enemy's muskets are fierce, but if they fight hand-to-hand, they will inevitably be defeated. ”

Dai Shan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "Whether it can succeed depends on the reaction of the enemy in front of you, if you really think that you can resist the attack of our army, you will not be in such a hurry to retreat as you were two days ago." ”

Yue Tuo nodded yes, and finally understood his father's arrangement, which was to paralyze the enemy, try to stick to them, and wait for the surrounding troops to be in place.

But will things turn out the way Daishan father and son hope?

Mao Wenlong fought two flags with three alliances, how did he formulate his entire battle plan?

…………………… Divider.....................

The family was slandered for six years, and believed that the past history was not true.

Cao Huachun, the father-in-law who carried the blame, only had such feelings before he died, but the young emperor Zhu Youxiao still knew another sentence, that is, "History is a little girl who can be dressed up".

If you don't believe me, then I'll tell you two stories, that is, the story of the wife of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

There was once a concubine named Concubine Zhang Yu, because she offended Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, she was secluded in another palace, that is, between the palaces, and her diet was denied.

A few days later, poor Concubine Zhang Yu was so hungry and thirsty that she crawled under the eaves to drink the rain to quench her thirst, but she was even weaker because of the unclean rain, and fourteen days later, she was starved to death.

There was also a concubine named Concubine Li Cheng, who was very shrewd and righteous, learned the lesson of Concubine Zhang Yu being starved to death, and hid a lot of food between the cracks in the palace wall in advance.

Unexpectedly, taking precautions really saved her life. Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka felt that she was disobedient, and they also locked her up in the same way as dealing with Concubine Zhang Yu.

After more than ten days of hard work, when Emperor Tianqi remembered Concubine Li Cheng and summoned her, the Hakka clan sent someone to open the palace gate and found that Concubine Li Cheng was safe and sound, thinking that she was blessed by the gods, so he did not harm her again.

How did you feel when you first heard this story? Poor Concubine Zhang Yu's tragic death, admiring Concubine Li Cheng's cleverness?

But if you look closely, you will find that this story is a bit mysterious, so mysterious that you won't believe it.

Zhu Youxiao looked thoughtfully at the new shovel officer, Li Chengcheng, who would become his daughter-in-law in history and survived by stealing food like a hamster.

What kind of food are you hiding, is it instant noodles with preservatives, or vacuum-packed small bread and ham sausages? Where are you hiding, in the cracks of the palace wall, can you stuff it in? Between the eaves, how did you climb up?

And this is what is contained in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", which makes Zhu Youxiao very angry. It is said that "it is wise to read history, learn from the past and know the future", but does this "History of the Ming Dynasty" really have that effect, or is it full of mistakes and nonsense?

If it is inferred from this, the bad deeds of Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family in the history books may not be true. And the fact that they harmed the concubines of Xizong may not be true.

Despite this feeling, Zhu Youxiao did not have the idea of taking back the Hakka family or conniving at Wei Zhongxian.

The inner palace has been cleaned up quite well, the release that should be released, and the disposal that should be disposed of. There are fewer people in the palace, and there are fewer hidden dangers.

There are fathers-in-law such as Cao Huachun, Wei Zhongxian, and Lu Jiude, and eunuchs such as Wang Tiqian, Fang Zhenghua, and Li Fengxiang inside.

Just like the Donglin Party, while deposing and degrading the party, it also reused Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, Li Banghua and others. At present, it seems that the results are quite good, and the expected goals have been achieved in clearing the tun and recharging salaries and rectifying the Beijing camp.

But—

Zhu Youxiao withdrew his gaze, picked up the secret music handed by Dongchang, and flipped through it.

The reuse of the eyes and ears of the factory guard is the main means for Zhu Youxiao to grasp the direction of the government and the opposition and guard against the rebound of the civilian clique.

But after a hundred secrets, in the end, someone was still doing something, and Zhang Guoji, the national abbot. If it weren't for Queen Zhang Yan's report, Zhu Youxiao would have really been kept in the dark.

Although it is not clear who is behind it, Zhu Youxiao is basically sure that he does not support himself.

Publishing a newspaper like "Daming Forum" is to oppose itself in public opinion?

Zhu Youxiao counted with his fingers, and there were probably so many people who were dissatisfied with him, the officials of the Donglin Party and the three parties who were deposed and degraded, the powerful landlords who returned the land in the Qingtun Dump Payment, and the wealthy gentry who were damaged during the implementation of the "grain".

As for those guys who were robbed of their homes and sent to prison, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded, it is unlikely that they will turn over again, and they don't have that kind of energy.

There are also sectarians, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't think they have such guts.

The scope has narrowed, and Zhu Youxiao is also happy. It's ridiculous that these guys still want to wrestle with themselves!

As soon as he raised his head, Zhu Youxiao met Li Chengcheng's secretly bet gaze.

Li Chengcheng hurriedly avoided it, pretending to touch Xiaobai's head.

Zhu Youxiao smiled, and was about to tease this future little "hamster", when he saw Wang Tiqian entering the hall with a secret box, he retracted his thoughts.

The secret performance was not presented by a high-ranking official, but the secret Jinyi guard sent by Zhu Youxiao to Shanxi to find out the information.

Eight emperors and merchants, Zhu Youxiao can't forget such a famous traitor in the late Ming Dynasty.

But he had also seen the map, and in terms of the current situation outside the border, it was unlikely that he would want to smuggle materials to Jiannu.

Because Jiannu is still confined to Liaodong, Xuanda is outside the border of Mongolia, and it is a pro-Ming Mongolian department, and the difficulty of transporting large cars and small vehicles to Liaodong is not ordinary.

But although it is not possible now, it does not mean that in the future, let alone that those traitors do not communicate with Jiannu and deliver information.

Therefore, although Zhu Youxiao did not draw conclusions easily, nor did he rush to start, he secretly sent Jinyi Wei to closely monitor the eight families.

Now, the Jinyi Guard of the secret sect has finally sent a report on the situation.

Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sneer after watching the secret performance.

The strategic contraction of western Liaoning, and the tight blockade of the sea, made Jiannu have nowhere to find information. Even if a Han spy infiltrates the pass, it will not be able to return easily.

Therefore, Jiannu sent the dependent Mongols as spies, entered from outside the border, and contacted the Fan family.

It should be so, Zhu Youxiao made a judgment, but he didn't want to do it immediately.

He wants to play a big game of chess, use his foresight, and make Jiannu fall apart, or at least fall into chaos.

Relative to this, for the young emperor, who was no longer too short of money, it became less important to copy the homes of a few traitors and traitors and cut off some heads.

Sooner or later, it's me, and you're a cake seller?

Zhu Youxiao wrote a reply, sealed it in a box and handed it to Wang Tiqian, ordering him to send someone out immediately.

Li Chengcheng peeked at the emperor again, and until now, she couldn't understand why the emperor suddenly changed his mind and no longer handed over the business to her.

Is it just because of this white and chubby cat?

Li Chengcheng looked down at Xiaobai, and the doubts in his heart were difficult to solve.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Chengcheng didn't feel bad, and even had a little joy. Think about Zhang Yuer's experience, didn't she start by waiting for the cat, jumped on the branch and became a phoenix.

She can do it, but I can't? In terms of appearance, she is more beautiful than her; In terms of talent and learning, Li Chengcheng thinks that he is far surpassing. is both talented and good-looking, can you still please the emperor?

"Chengcheng." Zhu Youxiao got up from the imperial chair, stretched out his arms, and commanded very casually: "Pick up Xiaobai and accompany me out for a walk." ”

"The slave obeys." Li Chengcheng respectfully agreed, picked up the fat cat, followed the emperor, and walked out of the main hall.
