……

After the Han army took control of the entire border of Macao and Hong Kong, it began to implement the northward strategy proposed by Yue Shaomu.

After resting for two days, Gan Ziba left six transport ships and 1,300 naval officers and men in Nanao Port, and then set off to march north along the coastline of Nanao.

Yue Shaomu's troops did not move for the time being, but strengthened the fortifications to prevent the Jin soldiers from attacking.

However, all this seems to be somewhat redundant.

Because from the fall of Jingao Port to Yue Shaomu's construction of fortifications, it took five days, and the Jin soldiers stationed in the towns and cities around Jingao Port did not come to attack at all.

I thought that Jin Bing would make a big move, but the news sent by the Intelligence Department really made the experienced Han army collectively unable to rectify it.

The Jin soldiers did show signs of coming to help, but after learning that the Han army controlled the border of Macao and Hong Kong, they turned around and returned to the camp to garrison.

There were 3,000 defenders in Lucheng, which was closest to Jingao Hong Kong, but Taishou Hao Pu was reluctant to send troops, and said, "After the Dongyi looted, he would leave, and there was no need to care about such a small illness."

On the fifth day of the sixth month, that is, on the seventh day of controlling the border of Macao and Hong Kong, Yue Shaomu decided not to wait any longer, and after leaving 3,000 soldiers to garrison Quanzong, he immediately raised 10,000 troops to the north.

Hao Pu, who was still optimistic, did not know that Lucheng was the only way to go north to the gods, and Yue Shaomu would definitely uproot it.

On the ninth day of the first month of June, Yue Shaomu soldiers came to the city and ordered Zhu Heng and Xu Sheng to be the vanguard, and Lu Ziming to be the deputy general, leading 4,000 troops to attack Lucheng.

Hao Pu, who was smoking Fushou ointment, heard that the Dongyi army was coming, and in a panic, he immediately ordered people to wear armor and climb the wall to prepare to defend against the enemy.

However, when he saw the solemn military formation outside the city, he suddenly felt an uncontrollable urge to urinate.

"Brothers, open their eyes!"

Zhu Heng gave an order, and hundreds of soldiers immediately stepped out of the artillery battalion, holding an improved version of the Hall rocket developed by the Han army.

The moment the fuse was ignited, the rocket fixed on the shelf immediately rose into the sky, forming a black curtain in mid-air, covering the sky and the sun, and swept away in the direction of Lucheng.

The rocket's head is not high, but the piercing scream it emitted frightened the golden soldiers at the head of the city, and before the rocket fell, the golden soldiers stationed at the post immediately dropped their weapons, turned around and ran.

In an instant, the defense line of Lucheng collapsed in only a quarter of an hour, and Hao Pu, who was the Taishou, had already disappeared and fled for his life in the chaos.

When Zhu Heng, Xu Sheng, and Lu Ziming climbed the city wall and controlled the outer defense line of Lucheng, less than an hour had passed.

The Han army that entered the city immediately launched a pursuit of the Jin soldiers, but the originally expected tragic street fighting did not happen, and the Jin officers and soldiers were already frightened, and the scattered resistance lasted not long before disappearing.

When Yue Shaomu entered the city, a group of Nanao officials led by Hao Pu had been captured by the Han army and waiting to be disposed of.

According to post-war statistics, no casualties were found among the Han officers and soldiers, but the Han army did not kill many Jin soldiers by beheading, only 12 people.

"Thousands of officers and soldiers collapsed without a fight, and the officers and soldiers of South Australia really have only this ability?"

Yue Shaomu didn't show much satisfaction with the results in front of him, but immediately wondered if he had made a mistake in the data.

But in any case, the first battle of the Northern Expedition can be said to be won very easily.

Yue Shaomu didn't embarrass those Lucheng officials, and directly released them all out of the city.

……

When the Han army landed in Nanao and was about to start marching north, Honglin, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River and was "sympathetic to the people", accompanied his mother, the eighty-three-year-old Empress Dowager Xiao, to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the south.

Honglin stood in front of the Zhuxin Lake Pavilion, quietly observing the scenery of green water and blue waves in front of him, and couldn't help but be poetic, and said casually:

"The constant flow of water is here, the Liuhu Lotus Island is in the shape of a curtain, and the smoke and waves are all picturesque, and the intention is leisurely in the apricot underworld."

"Good poetry!"

As soon as Honglin finished reading, Li Shen, who accompanied him, took the lead in cheering.

"Long live the poem, the poem is in line with the wonders in front of you, so that the slave is like an empowerment, silent in it, it is really a good sentence for the ages!"

Under the backdrop of Li Shen's atmosphere, the accompanying officials also patted their ass.

Honglin's vanity was satisfied again, and he was in a particularly good mood.

But the superficial work still has to be done: "You don't have to wait to pick up good things to say to me, this is just me doing it casually, how can there be any eternal sentences so exaggerated?" ”

Li Shen hurriedly said: "Long live Lord is too modest, every word of the slave is true, there is no half of a lie, Long Live Lord is such a golden sentence casually,

The minions are brave, please give the ink treasure to the master, let the minions go home and hang them in the main hall, so as to increase the confidence of the minions. ”

When the officials present heard this, they immediately gave Li Shen a thumbs up in their hearts.

Not to mention that Li Shen can be on the left side, and he is deeply valued by the long-lived master, this sycophant kung fu, he will not be able to catch up in his life.

Honglin was also interested when he heard this: "Anyway, today's poetry is flourishing, and I also move my muscles and bones, and order someone to take pen and ink." ”

Soon, the four treasures of the imperial study room were placed in the pavilion.

Li Shen was quick with his eyes and hands, and immediately took the initiative to polish Honglin's ink.

With a wave of his hand, Honglin quickly wrote down the poem he had just read and presented it to Li Shen.

Li Shen held the rice paper in his hand, and knelt down in flattery to thank him: "Slave thank you Lord Longen!" ”

"Get up, be happy today, and walk with me again."

Honglin walked along the Zhuxin Hall again, and the officials who followed behind each bowed their waists, trying to cater to the preferences of this master, and enjoyed the colorful scenery around the Zhuxin Pavilion.

When I returned to the palace, it was already the time to hold the lamp.

The elderly Queen Mother had long since rested, and Honglin seemed to be unsatisfied, and climbed the wall of the palace again, looking at Sioux City under the curfew at night.

"This is a time of peace and prosperity......"

At this moment, Honglin felt very satisfied, he had been in power for so many years, and finally realized the prosperity of Dajin, and achieved the national peace and security that several generations of emperors dreamed of.

Li Shen, who accompanied him, said in a timely manner: "Long live the country and the people, and my Dajin country can have today, which is the return of the long live master's hard work." ”

When Honglin heard this, he suddenly said: "Li Shen, you said that I have been in the country for so many years, is it really worthy of the society?" ”

Li Shen: "Long live Lord, what are you talking about?" Long live you, you are the first male lord throughout the ages, and you are a model for all the people in the world, and only slaves can do things for Long Live Lord, which is really a blessing from the ancestors for several generations. ”

Honglin nodded, and said: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I don't talk about Wenzhi, but in terms of martial arts, I dare not compare with the sages, but I also have some credit.

I am old, Shaohua is fleeting, not as energetic as before, I want to look back at my twilight years to see if I have meritorious service in this life,

So, I want you to help me write a record of my life and martial arts, what do you think? ”

Li Shen hurriedly said: "What the Lord has done in his life, I'm afraid that ten thousand books can't record it, and the slave really doesn't know how to write." ”

Honglin said with a smile: "How can I have so many merits, why don't you do this, you will be in power since I have been in power, select ten things to write, and I will think of the names for you, just call it Ten Complete Martial Arts." ”

Li Shen: "Thank you for your kindness, and when you return to Beijing, you will immediately start compiling the Ten Complete Martial Arts Records." ”

"Well, let's dine with me."

"Slave thank you, long live the ......"
