As far as the eye can see, the sky and the earth are white, the frost covers the wilderness and plains, and the dead wood and grass are all dead and silent.

In the snow, the armored Jurchen cavalry was like a black tide, ferociously waving their weapons and charging at the Ming army!

"Shoot the arrows!"

With the order of the general of the Ming army, the arrows covered the sky like a dense rain, like a flock of crows falling into the wasteland, and patches of Jurchen cavalry fell!

"Don't stop, kill!"

The Jurchen chief gritted his teeth and roared, watching the warriors of his tribe turn on their backs like weeds under the rain of arrows, and their hearts were dripping blood.

The number of young and strong people determines the status of the tribe in the Jurchen ethnic group, if the young and strong are killed and injured heavily, the tribe is very easy to fall into the crisis of lack of green and yellow, and it will not be able to raise it back for more than ten years. And the other tribes are staring at them, as long as any tribe declines, they will mercilessly tear this tribe to pieces, and swallow it alive!

Women and children will be reduced to slavery, worthless old people will be killed to save rations, and men will be oppressed as precious labor. Even if you repel the Ming army, you will be enslaved by other Jurchen tribes!

This is the reality of despair to the point of suffocation!

However, the Ming army still ruthlessly crushed this Jurchen tribe, and their eyes were cold, as if they had killed an inconspicuous ant with their fingers.

Poor Jurchens?

Damn, when the Ming army withdrew, these damn Jurchen rangers burned and plundered the border of the Ming Dynasty, arrogant, how desperate should the people of the Ming Dynasty be at that time?

The generals of the Ming army looked coldly at the one-sided battlefield in front of them like a strong wind sweeping the lawn, and after the rain of arrows, it was the iron cavalry charge of the Ming army, and the elite who came out of the 3,000 battalions fought against these Jurchens like adults ravaging children, and the horses of the system were ruthlessly crushed the Jurchens.

The cavalry of the Ming army struck heavily on the armor of the Jurchens with blunt weapons, and the armor did not look much worn, but the Jurchens in armor fell from their horses and vomited blood and fell to the ground, and their internal organs became a mess of meat.

The fierce cold wind blew across the white grassland, and the blood donation was sprinkled on the white frost, and the steaming white vapor came out, which soon cooled and solidified, and became blood-red crystals, poured on the white bones and broken weapons.

It's a massacre!

The difference between the strength of the army in the era of cold weapons is vividly displayed, and in this era, the Ming army is the only protagonist!

……

The general of the Ming army walked into the Shuai camp and knelt down on one knee to the young man sitting in the main seat of the Shuai camp: "Lord Wang, our army has wiped out a total of 538 enemy troops, captured 2,822 tribal people, captured horses, animal skins, etc., and is counting the remaining gains!" ”

"yes, got it."

Zhu Gaoxian sat behind the desk, holding a wolf pen to write a battle report, and said: "The herald orders that all lieutenants and soldiers in the army must not destroy the houses of the Jurchen tribe. Let the captured Jurchens gather wood and help the soldiers build their camps. ”

"No!" The Ming generals got up and left after saluting.

Zhu Gaoxian looked at the battle report, and his heart was uneasy.

In just half a month, he has exterminated more than 100 Jurchen tribes, large and small, and purged the Jurchen tribe in the eastern part of Jianzhou. However, he did not signal his subordinates to slaughter unscrupulously, and after defeating the Jurchen tribe's army, he turned to the Jurchen people.

Zhu Gaoxian's purpose is very clear, he is not here to kill, but to rule the Jurchens.

The premise of rule is repression by force.

Zhu Gaoxian never thought of reforming the Jurchens in the past, he came with a complete assimilation system, assimilating the nomadic civilization into an agricultural civilization, and erasing the original civilization of the Jurchens and replacing it with the civilization of the Ming Dynasty.

The best way to destroy a civilization is never to slaughter, you can burn down their cities, slave their houses, but you can never conquer a people.

The Mongols spent a hundred years oppressing the Han Chinese, in exchange for an even more fierce resistance from the Han Chinese.

Cultural invasion is the right way to destroy a civilization.

"At present, it seems that we have forced the Jianzhou Jurchens to the west of Jianzhou, and we only need to suppress the remaining Jianzhou Jurchens by force, and we can implement the planned assimilation policy in Jianzhou." Zhu Gaoxian touched his chin.

Zhang Fu said: "Lord Wang, we have nearly 50,000 Jurchens captive, I am afraid that we have to settle these captives before we can continue to use troops against the western part of Jianzhou." ”

"That's a problem......"

Zhu Gaoxian suddenly looked at Zhu Yong, who was dozing off on the side, "Chengguo Gong, settle the prisoners, and I'll hand it over to you." ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Yong was a little sleepy, and when he heard someone calling his name, he fell into a stunned state: "What is it?" ”

"Aha, Chengguo Gong is really a general under the command of this king, since you agreed, this king is relieved." Zhu Gaoxian said with relief.

Zhu Yong looked confused, thinking to himself, what the did I promise, you gave me an errand?

The corners of Zhu Gaoxian's mouth rose, this Zhu Yong is a good paddler and fishing, he came to the barracks to do nothing serious, how can he repair it, this must not be exploited and squeezed?

My boss is working overtime, and you still want to be lazy?

Think beautifully!

Zhu Yong: "......"

……

When Zhu Gaoxian ravaged the Jurchens in Jianzhou, Zhu Di in the capital was not idle.

He dismissed the twelve important ministers of the princelings in a row, and directly beat the princelings stupidly, thinking that the prince had violated the rules of heaven and was directly cut by the emperor with a knife?

The Qiwang Party led by Lu Chaoyang and Yang Rong was extremely honest and did not take the opportunity to fall into the grave against the princelings.

It has only been half a year since the King of Han was forced to become a vassal, and no one can forget how the King of Han fell.

What's more, now that the backbone King Qi is not in the capital, Lu Chaoyang and the others have become more and more honest and dare not act rashly. Anyway, now that the emperor has deposed the princelings, it is a joyful event for them that deserves to be celebrated by the whole country, and they are happy just to look at it, so why bother to intervene in it.

The members of the princelings hurriedly wanted to go to the East Palace to ask the boss what was going on, why did the emperor suddenly do something to us, but the East Palace was banned, the prince and grandson were grounded, and they couldn't see anyone at all.

There is already a strange atmosphere in the court: the prince wants to finish the calf!

In Jiming Temple, Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister, looked at Zhu Di in a yellow robe in front of him, and asked with some doubts: "Are you going to give the prince another chance?" ”

dismissed the twelve important ministers of the princeling party in a row, and acted vigorously and resolutely, even Yao Guangxiao felt that this method was too fierce, and it was completely a precursor to the abolition of the prince, and he was ruthless.

The prince has been sitting in this position for ten years, and he will be abolished?

Zhu Di glanced at the old monk and said, "What, you want to intercede for the prince?" ”

"What kind of love did I ask him for, that is your son, the prince you set up, what does it have to do with me?" Yao Guangxiao smiled: "But I have some doubts, what excuse are you going to find to abolish the prince?" ”

The abolished prince must be charged with a good crime.

This crime cannot be too serious, otherwise it will disgrace the royal family, and Zhu Di's face will not pass.

This crime can't be too light, otherwise it won't be able to convince the public, where can it be so simple to change the prince.

"This is what you should think, is it possible that you, the old monk, plan to let me do it all alone?" Zhu Di said calmly.

Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly: "I can't stand your toss like this old bone, how can I get involved in the matter of the abolished prince, and you still want me to make my late festival not guaranteed?" ”

Zhu Di said in surprise: "Old monk, can you say something about people, do you still have a late festival to protect, it is recorded in the history books of later generations that the biggest thief in Yongle Dynasty, one is me, and the other is you!" ”

Yao Guangxiao's face did not change: "If you can guarantee a little bit, you can't let me carry all the infamy." ”

"You monk, the little abacus in your heart is crackling, and you can hear it clearly from five miles away." Zhu Di laughed.

"What kind of calculation I make, no matter who sits in that position in the future, it has nothing to do with me." Yao Guangxiao's eyes looked indifferently into the distance, "My body can't live for a few years, as short as a year or two, or as long as four or five years, I'm afraid I'm going to drive Hexi." ”

When Zhu Di heard his old friend's words, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said, "Old monk, what are you talking nonsense about. As the saying goes, good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years, if you, a wicked person, can't live a hundred or two, God won't be able to look past it. ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled: "The cycle of life and death, this heavenly way, I live to the age of eighty, and I am impatient to live, it would be rude to live any longer." ”

This old monk is really a man of God, and his family has practiced medicine for generations, but he was ordained a monk at the age of fourteen, and he has collected Confucianism and Taoism. Born in the wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the prosperity of the Han people came, he fooled Zhu Di to rebel.

Yao Guangxiao rebelled, not seeking to follow the dragon's merits, just to prove that he had dragon slaying skills.

Zhu Di didn't want to dwell more on the topic of life and death, he knew in his heart that he didn't have many years left.

"I always want to finish all the work of future generations by myself, eat and clothe on the battlefield, and work diligently in the court, but after so many years, I feel that I have done nothing."

Zhu Di sighed and said: "How many years will it take to move the capital, how many years will it take to fight Mobei, this is not something I can do alone, now I understand that I can't rob all the work of future generations, and at my age, the most important thing is to find a suitable heir, and I can't always occupy power and not share it to future generations." ”

Yao Guangxiao raised his eyebrows and said, "You are so optimistic about King Qi?" ”

Zhu Di abolished the King of Zhao, the King of Han, and the crown prince, his purpose may not have been clear enough before, but when things developed to this point, Yao Guangxiao naturally understood.

Everything is paving the way for King Qi!

Today's King Qi is still the only person who is qualified and has the strength to inherit the throne.

Compared with Zhu Gaochi, who was treated as a thief when he was the prince, Zhu Di gave privileges to King Qi without hesitation, this is all born to a father and a mother, why is the difference so big?

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao and suddenly laughed.

The old monk was a little confused: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhu Di's eyebrows couldn't help but rise: "I laughed at you, an old monk, and there were times when I was blind, I thought you were omniscient and omnipotent, and there was no one in this world who Yao Guangxiao couldn't see through." ”

Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly: "What do you mean by this?" Is there any misunderstanding I have about King Qi? ”

"Misunderstanding? Sort of, let's just see. The smile in Zhu Di's eyes gradually changed to indifference, "I have a hunch that this time King Qi will do a great thing in Jianzhou, I want to see what surprises this King Qi can bring to me." ”

……

Jianzhou, which has been silent for a long time, suddenly has a terrifying name - "butcher"

King Qi, the butcher of the Ming Dynasty!

This butcher, King Qi, led the Ming army from the east of Jianzhou to the west of Jianzhou, and everywhere he passed, all the Jurchen tribes fled in panic, and then were chased by the Ming army, defeated, and finally captured the remnants of the clansmen!

In the old camp of Jianzhou Wei, Shi Jianu listened to the report of his clansmen, and his face turned pale.

"As long as this group of Ming troops encounters our Jurchen tribe, it doesn't matter whether it is in the guard established by the Ming Dynasty or not, they will directly launch an attack, defeat the tribe's army, and then capture the remaining clansmen, which is simply unreasonable!"

"Now in Jianzhou, only our Jianzhou Guard, and the Jianzhou Left Guard of Meng's brother Timur can still breathe, but I heard that King Qi's army is already attacking in our direction." Li Manzhu's face sank like water.

Saganu couldn't help but say angrily: "We have served the Ming Dynasty for so many years, is this King Qi a madman, why would he send troops to us?" Didn't he know that the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty was the Mongols, why did he come to attack our Jurchens? ”

Li Manzhu said: "Father, the problem at the moment is how to deal with the madman King Qi, if he is the enemy of his army, we are afraid that we will ......."

"I'm afraid of what, he's crazy?" "My sister is married to the emperor of their Ming Dynasty, and he still has to send troops to his own family?" ”

No one answered this question, but everyone knew it, including Saganu.

King Qi is rampant, and there are no restrictions at all!

And the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that he has long forgotten the name of the Jurchen woman "The Third Empress of the Emperor", the woman the Ming Emperor cares about has never been Empress Xu.

Damn it! Damn King Qi!

"Father, make a decision early, whether to fight or peace...... Li Manzhu said helplessly, "At the moment, let's either ask for peace, as long as we lead the people to surrender, King Qi should not embarrass us." ”

As soon as Li Manzhu finished speaking, he heard the frightened shouts of the clansmen outside.

"Ming Army! The Ming army is coming! ”

"It's the banner of King Qi, King Qi has come over with the Ming army!"

When Saganu heard this, he was angry and flustered: "What! ”

"How can it be so fast, how long has it been! That King Qi is really crazy! ”

Before Saganu could figure it out, he heard the sound of whistling arrows, the birch bark house was washed down by the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and a large number of the Jianzhou Wei generals in the room fell down, and the rest of the people were panicked and looking for cover.

……

"Find out the generals of Jianzhou Wei, but if there are any Jurchens, no one will be left, and they will be killed!"

On the hillside, Zhu Gaoxian looked down at the Jurchen tribe not far away, his face cold.

The Ming army took advantage of the mountain situation to charge towards the Jurchen camp, like a raging beast, tearing apart the Jurchen defense line!
