Chapter 62: The Son of Heaven is angry
Since the beginning of the first year of Zhengde, it seems that history has completely changed, and the major events that would have happened in a few years have happened now, and they are getting worse and worse, and they are out of control, as if God intends to target Zhu Houzhao, the north has just been pacified, and the southwest is in chaos again, and bad news has come from the southeast, and the Japanese have come to attack the coast again, robbing houses, burning and looting, and Qi Jingtong's big ship has not had time to go to sea, and the Japanese have come.
After a big battle, both sides were damaged, but fortunately, Qi Jingtong came in handy according to the military book given to him by Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao has a headache, liver pain, stomach pain, everything hurts, the nameless fire in his heart burns so that he has nowhere to vent, God is this kidding, why do others cross over, you can have a smooth sail, although he became an emperor, but history is not like this.
"Send troops to Jiaozhi, send troops to Yungui, send troops to the southeast, you want to fight, I will accompany you to fight, order Wang Shouren to take charge of the military and politics of Guizhou, Yang Yiqing lock to take back to Beijing, order Qi Jingtong to lead the southeast coastal military horses, order Yunnan Mufu soldiers to send Jiaozhi, go all out to kill thieves, boats, and my rich ships, treasure ships, speed up, speed up again, before the summer, I want to see the rich ships, treasure ships go to sea ·····."
Zhu Houzhao's anger, along with the holy decree to the southwest, southeast, Jiaozhi, this time, no one can stop him, no minister to stop him, this time, the three elders, the ministers of the six ministries and nine qing, united front, unified will, support Zhu Houzhao.
The Xu family was enabled again, sitting in the southeast, cooperating with Qi Jingtong, Yunnan Mufu soldiers sent Jiaozhi, the war was about to start, the imperial court sent an additional Shenji battalion, a firearms battalion to help, at any cost, Wang Shouren took charge of the military and political affairs in the southwest, and Zhang Zhong took the Iron Eagle Guard out of Beijing.
Originally, the ministers were not in favor of going to war, after all, people just didn't want to come to pay tribute, and being ambitious didn't mean that they were going to go to war.
"Chengzu personally conquered the desert five times, Zheng Gonggong went to the West seven times, his exploits flaunted the history, and the military appearance shocked the world, in exchange for fifty years of northern banquets, foreign tributes, and the dynasty was like the sky, ruling all countries, what about fifty years later? What about a hundred years from now? One generation is not as good as the next, why is this happening? Because the ancestors worked hard, the descendants did not want to forge ahead, I ask you, etc., in the future, have you ever had the face to meet the previous emperors, have you ever had the face to face the questions of future generations, I don't want to face the ancestors and ancestors in a hundred years, so what about you? ”
Yang Tinghe went out of class with his chest straight, and after tidying up his clothes, he said loudly; "Your Majesty is reasonable, I am brilliant and bright, the country of the center, the blessing of all the people, I have the responsibility of the heavenly kingdom, when I dominate the ups and downs of the world, turn the barbarians into foreigners, and be blessed by the grace of my Ming, but I don't know how to repay, and there is a lot of disrespect, Your Majesty is merciful, I don't want to deal with it, give them the opportunity to admit their mistakes, but the barbarians don't understand the etiquette, they don't know how to repay Your Majesty's grace, they really despise my Ming, minister, please send troops to the border, and then make a decree to apply for it, and edict its lord to come to Beijing to defend himself, if it is from it, Your Majesty can be lightly sent down, in order to see the after-effects, If he does not obey and cannot shirk it, it proves his wolf ambition, and the minister asks for advice, destroys his country, burns his temple, and the minister is willing to ask His Majesty to make a decree. ”
The court was instantly quiet, the needles in the hall could be heard, Yang Tinghe's words were like thunder exploding, and they were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and they couldn't react until now, wasn't Yang Tinghe a Confucian minister? has always been extraordinary, why would Liu Jian's designated successor say such a thing?
When they didn't expect it, next, the six ministries and nine secretaries, the three cabinet scholars, and the military generals almost all stood on His Majesty's side to speak, it seems that it was premeditated, the general trend has come, and the big thing has been done.
Zhu Houzhao had no choice, he didn't want to send troops, but others wanted to force him to send troops, after Jinyiwei's secret fold entered Beijing, Zhu Houzhao asked people to copy a copy one by one, send it to the cabinet, and then pass it to the sixth ministry.
If the official position is not enough, it is natural that it cannot be seen, so the caliber of the main hall is unified, the ideology is highly unified, the front is unified, and it is unanimously decided to severely punish them.
Ministers, since Zhu Houzhao's long-term subtle transformation, they are no longer as sincere and willing to be quiet, and they also want to be the prime minister in black, influence the overall situation of the world, assist the Ming monarch and the holy lord, and also want to leave a name in history, so that the descendants can worship the reputation.
Obviously, Yang Tinghe has already taken a step ahead of them and discovered His Majesty's potential, so can they be willing to be left behind and finally be knocked into the dust?
Zhu Houzhao successfully used people's hearts, his face was serious and silent, but in fact, his heart blossomed.
"Say that you are cheap, and you still don't admit it, you have to say it so ugly, you are willing to stop, cheap, fight, fight, open up the territory, I, take you to open up the territory, hehe..."
Zhu Houzhao's evil laughter echoed in his heart, looking at the vast and picturesque rivers and mountains outside the main hall, full of infinite expectations.
Guiyang is about to fall, Yanghua's offensive is becoming more and more fierce, Guiyang is besieged, and he can't wait for reinforcements, Wang Shouren has no way to enter the city, so he has to attack and harass Yanghua's rebels outside, temporarily restraining the sight of the rebels, and the city is quite stable for the time being.
Zhang Zhong took the Iron Eagle Guard, rushed to help, and finally found the exhausted Wang Shouren's army a month later.
"Father-in-law Zhang, you are finally here, hehe, Shouren is worthy of His Majesty's trust, and he is ashamed of His Majesty." Even a Confucian general like Wang Shouren, who is iron-clad and very generous, showed such a demeanor, which shows how tragic the war was.
The 20,000 wolf soldiers he brought, as well as his own thousands of soldiers, have already lost seven out of ten, and they are still wounded, their eyes are tired and mechanical, and they are lifeless, and Yang Hua has tortured them to the point that they are almost out of human form.
Zhang Zhong looked at him who had an extraordinary bearing in the past and commanded him, and his heart was full of emotion, frowning and ordering his subordinates; "Go and tell the military doctor to prepare medicine to save people."
Then he turned his head and said; "General Wang has worked hard, Your Majesty knows that it is not your fault, and instructed the old slave to tell the general, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the general does not have to care, Your Majesty's holy decree."
As soon as Wang Shouren heard that His Majesty did not blame him, and comforted him, his nose was sore, tears almost came out, and he heard that there was a holy decree, so he knelt down to accept the decree, and was supported by Zhang Zhong, saying; "It's good to stand, you don't have to kneel, this is Your Majesty's grace."
"Ordered Wang Shouren to take charge of all military and political affairs in Guizhou, and the command and dispatch of the battle array can be adapted, and the army does not need to be separately requested, so I admire this."
Wang Shouren was stunned, seeing that Zhang Zhong forgot to receive the order, according to the regulations, even if the prince called only 5,000 soldiers, the call of the army must be requested, Your Majesty, Your Majesty actually trusted him so much, this favor, how can he repay it.
Wang Shouren, who came back to his senses, quickly knelt down and thanked him, His Majesty's grace is grace, but he can't disobey the etiquette, which is a big disrespect.
Zhang Zhong wrote down his reactions one by one, and nodded secretly with satisfaction; "Your Majesty didn't misread anyone, well, yes... Not bad! ”
Five thousand well-equipped Iron Eagle Guards took over Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses, looking at the extravagant and luxuriously equipped Iron Eagle Guards, and then looking at the broken copper and iron they held, Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses were sad for a while, but they quickly recovered, because the people of the Iron Eagle Guards were very good to them, and they were equipped with the same weapons, which were artifacts they had heard of a long time ago, but they had not had the opportunity to see.
Iron Eagle Guard quickly taught them the knowledge and familiarized them, and then took over the barracks, allowing them to eat, drink and rest with confidence.
In the end, Yanghua's rebels still found them again, but Wang Shouren's subordinates were too tired and could no longer fight, and there were many rebels, so they could only mechanically raise the swords and guns in their hands, forgetting to use the artifact against the enemy, so they charged straight and shouted to kill.
But faster than them is the Iron Eagle Guard, already holding a spear, prostrate on the ground, the thunder in his hand is ready, the enemy is about to approach, Wang Shouren recalled something, it seems that this scene has also happened in Datong, the heart that has been hanging for a long time finally put it down, quickly waved the flag in his hand, and ordered all to retreat.
Just listen~!
Boom boom boom ~~~~.
The mountain shook and shook, and the black round iron balls flew up from the hands of the Iron Eagle Guard, and then landed, exploding, smoke and dust everywhere, stumps and broken arms, the rebels howled, people shouted and neighed, and the rebels retreated like a tide.
Wang Shouren's subordinates still have some Guangxi wolf soldiers, their throats rolled, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and rushed to a chill for no reason.
It was so terrifying that even Wang Shouren, who had already seen it a few times, still felt a burst of awe.
The Iron Eagle Guard army quickly got up, charged for a distance, and then crawled on the ground again with the same perfect concerted action, the same scene happened again, and after a few times, this rebel army was completely wiped out, and it was not even time to half-inject incense.
Someone checked the pile of dead people, and there were still alive, so they pulled it out and made up for it, anyway, they couldn't save it, and there was no mercy to treat the enemy, this is war, the difference between the Iron Eagle Guard's treatment of the enemy and treating them made Wang Shouren's subordinates very uncomfortable.
"Lord Wang, you take them to rest first, and I'll leave it to them here."
"Oh, yes, yes." Wang Shouren nodded indifferently.
He still doesn't understand why Iron Eagle Guard can play so cleanly and neatly, but he is so miserable.
It's not just him who thinks so, everyone thinks so, after seeing the Iron Eagle Guard led by Zhang Zhong, even the No. 1 Shenji Battalion in Daming is not adaptable, this kind of battle formation play is too advanced, which makes them very uncomfortable, but in the future, this will be the norm.
The military camp is the most taboo to make loud noises, because that will cause a mass camp roar, once the camp roar occurs, it will be a disaster, so Wang Shouren's army eats quietly, and then does not communicate, wolf soldiers are wolf soldiers, Datong army is Datong army, and the division is very clear.
In the distance, Tie Yingwei had the sound of talking and laughing, which not only attracted the wolf soldiers and the Datong army, but also attracted Wang Shouren's attention, he was very puzzled, with the identity of Zhang Zhong he knew, such a loud noise, wouldn't he be worried about causing any bad consequences.
Wang Shouren walked over, looked at a few Iron Eagle Guards seriously, and said; "There are rules in the army, no noise at night, is this how Grandpa Zhang taught you?"
Several Tie Yingwei saw Lord Wang, and they gave a military salute without humility or arrogance, and Zhu Houzhao made a kind of greeting ceremony between the upper and lower levels of the army, but it has not yet been promoted and promoted, and it may be implemented by the whole army in the future.
"Back to Lord Wang, His Majesty said when he trained us, we don't have to be so restrained, we have to kill the enemy fiercely on the battlefield, and when we rest, we must relax, otherwise it is easy to be nervous, triggering, causing what kind of mass depression syndrome, yes, it is what kind of disease, it is easy to camp Xiao, so in order to put an end to Ying Xiao, we also have psychological counselors, give us lessons, learn knowledge, in addition to training, we have always lived like this."
The big-headed soldier smiled in response, then stepped aside.
Wang Shouren was thoughtful, depressed, mass syndrome, this new word, he really couldn't understand, according to the literal meaning, but he could ignore one or two, he looked at the soldiers he brought, and then looked at the Iron Eagle Guards who had been killing a lot before, and now he seemed to be laughing and entertaining, and he understood a little.
He looked into the distance under the night sky, which was the direction of the capital, and muttered to himself; "Your Majesty, your wisdom is really unfathomable, and Wechen is willing to keep following your footsteps."
Zhang Zhong didn't know when he came behind him, and answered with a smile; "Definitely, you're already in the Emperor's Heart."
When Wang Shouren heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Gonggong Zhang, don't lift me up, Your Majesty doesn't blame me this time, it's already the emperor's grace." ”
Zhang Zhong smiled very casually and said; "Your Majesty intends to emulate Chengzu, most of the people in the court are old and unbearable, you don't have to be arrogant, Your Majesty is eloquent, you will need to use your place in the future, there are many more, work hard." He usually doesn't smile, and for some reason he is very eye-catching to Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren nodded, clenched his fists and bowed to the distance; "Weichen is ashamed, ashamed of his trust, Shouren must do his best, and after death, he will repay His Majesty's grace." turned around and bowed respectfully to Zhang Zhong; "Thank you, father-in-law, for waking up."
Zhang Zhong accepted him and patted him on the shoulder; "Go and rest, tomorrow, I'll hand over the Iron Eagle Guard to you."
Wang Shouren's eyes lit up, don't look at only 5,000 people, this is a fierce soldier who can block 100,000 soldiers, with this elite army, he is confident that he can break Yang Hua's offensive, and Guiyang can relieve the siege.
