Zhu Qizhen actually wanted to personally lead the troops to fight for a long time.

Since Yan Keng told him about the bloody battles and the great achievements of his ancestors, he has been very yearning for Jin Ge Iron Horse.

It's just a few times before, either because I'm too young, or I'm too far away from Jingshi.

Now it's also first, it's just sent to the door, isn't this a war exploit given to him by God!

He can finally be like his father and ancestors, and make immortal achievements!

Zhu Qizhen issued an order to personally conquer Warat.

Although the ministers in the court also had opposing voices, they were not strong, and seeing that the emperor's willingness to personally levy was resolute, he did not mention it again.

At this time, it was not far from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperors before Zhu Qizhen, except for Zhu Gaochi, had a record of personally leading the troops, and there was no later "Tumubao phobia", so the resistance was not great, and the ministers were not unfamiliar with the emperor's personal conquest.

Although they think that a really good emperor is enough to sit in the capital and command, if you must go, they symbolically oppose two sentences, and it will be up to you.

Later, when Wuzong was in a hurry, the ministers panicked, so they could only blame Yingzong for "Zhuyu in front", which scared everyone, plus a series of complex reasons such as military power, so they opposed it desperately.

When it was orthodox, there was no such thing!

So the war machine of Daming began to be launched.

And Zhu Qizhen, who has been taught by the veteran Yan Keng, although he has not been to the battlefield in person, he is no stranger to the process of war.

Unlike Wang Zhen, who only prepared for a few days and dared to go out with an army of 200,000, he began to gather troops, prepare grain and grass, and levy people after receiving an emergency.

It was not until the end of August that the Ming army finally completed its preparations.

The three battalions of the Gyeonggi land plus the pro-army, a total of 170,000, leaving 40,000 to defend the city, and the remaining 130,000 went out with the army, plus the troops gathered from Zhili and other places, a total of 180,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of people, known as 500,000.

Zhu Qizhen's younger brother, Zhu Qiyu, who was crowned King Jing, was in charge of the country, and Li Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet, was left to assist.

The rest of the ministers in the court, except for a few who were in important positions or were too old to stay, the rest all went out with the emperor.

Because Yan Keng was in charge in the first seven years, and Zhu Qizhen also attached great importance to the army in the next few years, this time the behavior of the three major battalions eating empty salaries, although it was not nothing, but the shortage was very small, and the statistics were not more than 10,000 people, and it was easily filled up, and it did not affect the combat effectiveness much.

Like a small city, they rolled northward, vowing to conquer Warat.

At this time, Yexian had already given up attacking Datong and Xuanfu.

He came to plunder the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, not to give military merits to the Ming army, and if he continued to fight like this, the gains would outweigh the losses.

He also led his army to bypass these two fortified cities and killed them in other directions.

The rest of the cities did not have the strong city defense of Datong Xuanfu, and in front of the 80,000 Wara army, they were like mud, and all of a sudden, several cities were conquered and turned into purgatory on earth.

And Zhu Qizhen led the army to chase after Ye Xian, seeking a decisive battle.

Along the way, they passed through countless towns that had been plundered by the Warats.

Zhu Qizhen rode a snow-white war horse and stopped in a village.

It had just been ravaged by a detachment of the Warat Army, leaving behind countless ruins.

Most of the wooden huts and grass houses have been reduced to ashes, and there are still sparks left on them, which exude an unpleasant smell of burning.

Farm tools were scattered all over the ground, corpses everywhere, and a few copper coins left over from the Varat remained on the ground.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at all this in front of him.

These are all his people!

They paid taxes for the emperor and undertook forced labor for the emperor, so the Ming Dynasty had the obligation to protect the people and let them live and work in peace and contentment without being harassed, whether they were corrupt officials or bandits from other places.

This is what Yan Keng has always taught him, and Zhu Qizhen has always taken this as his standard for handling government affairs.

However, at this moment, everything has been shattered.

According to the reports from the front, the Warat Iron Cavalry has ravaged hundreds of towns and villages in the Ming Dynasty, and even captured several county towns and prefectures.

The Warat soldiers, who had been suppressed for a long time, could not suppress their inner desires at all in front of countless money, food, and women.

There were countless corpses, but the army of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to fight, and let them do whatever they wanted, so that the great rivers and mountains were scorched to earth.

In the newspaper, this is just cold words, but when Zhu Qizhen came here in person, he realized for the first time what it was

The people are plunged into an abyss of misery.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the dozens of corpses lying horizontally around him.

There were young men with immature faces, women in disheveled clothes, and even babies in swaddling clothes.

His eyes were bloodshot red, and a few tears slid down his face.

The playful thoughts before all faded with the purgatory-like scene.

Everything in front of him told him that this was not a place for him to play war games, and Wara was not here to play with them, they were here to slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty and want to subvert the Ming Dynasty!

Now all he has in his mind is to defeat them and kill them to honor the innocent people of the Ming Dynasty!

Grim walked over to a corpse and reached out to touch the flesh.

He pressed the corpse spot on it, and saw that the dark purple corpse spot was a little lighter.

His pupils shrank suddenly.

Corpse spots fade, which means ......

He said softly:

"It has not been more than six hours since the Varat cavalry left."

Zhu Qizhen raised his head when he heard this, his teeth were gritted tightly, and a suppressed voice came from the gap:

"Chen Guogong!"

"I order you to lead five thousand cavalry to chase after you, and you must take these evil captives,"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

His deep voice was full of murderous intent.

Saluted solemnly and replied solemnly:

"Minister, Commander!"

……

This is a small and medium-sized tribe with only more than 3,000 people, and it belongs to a small and medium-sized tribe that took refuge in Yexian.

They are used to being poor outside the gates, and now they have just entered this world of flowers and flowers, and they are completely addicted to it.

It's a pity that all the prosperous places of the big cities are occupied by powerful tribes, so their leaders can only choose to "accumulate a lot".

At this time, the tribal soldiers, who did not know that the catastrophe was coming, were still talking and laughing easily:

"These Ming people are really weak, and there are still people who want to resist, guess what? I cut off his head on the spot, and his mother-in-law cried so much that I was annoyed, and I slaughtered him as well, but I killed him with pleasure. ”

"Hahaha, so they don't have the right to steal such a vast land. If it is used for grazing, I don't know how many cattle and sheep can be raised, and it is really a waste to give it to the Ming people. ”

"Eh, if it's used to raise cattle and sheep, where are we going to get so much gold and silver?"

As soon as this remark came out, it caused another burst of laughter.

"It's a pity that the Taishi is not allowed to accept slaves, otherwise he can spare the lives of those Ming people. With so many slaves, the days to come will be nourishing. ”

"What's the hurry, when you go back to the grassland, you can take the Ming people back!"

They had wanton smiles on their faces, talking and laughing loudly, and they didn't care about the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty at all.

At this moment, behind the soldiers, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.

Following the prestige, I saw a Warat soldier with several arrow feathers stuck in his body and his clothes already stained with blood rushing over.

It's the Sentinel of the Royal Highness!

"Ming Army, Ming Army is coming!"
