MTL - Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty-Chapter 88 10 feet of confidence
Sleepless nights.
One night, Zhu Hou thought about it a lot.
I never thought that being an emperor would have both internal and external troubles. Although the Ming Dynasty has been around for more than a hundred years, it is still in a state of crumbling.
If there is no powerful means, I am afraid that even the throne will not be preserved. This person's heart is sinister, and sometimes it can really catch people off guard.
Datong Prefecture!
On the hillside in the distance, the leaders of the tribes such as Oara and Tatar all appeared on the battlefield.
Looking at the city in the distance, the densely packed Daming soldiers are blocking the attack of the frontline troops.
Compared with the previous defending officers, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers was amazing, and they were in an orderly manner in attacking and shooting arrows, far from being comparable to the previous defenders.
Seeing this, the leader of Oara said with a gloomy face, "What the **** is going on here?"
"How could these reinforcements arrive so quickly?"
When he said these words, the first thing that came to his mind was the Nine Sides Town!
"Yes, it must be the defender of the important town on the nine sides!"
The leader's eyes were deep, his face was cold, and he looked at this Ming Dynasty defender from afar.
Among the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Ling Luoshi also gave the last death order.
"Kill them all for me, leave none of them!"
As the subordinates of the terrifying general, there were almost no weak generals, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy one by one.
shhhhhh!
The cold light suddenly appeared, and a cold feeling swept across the throat of the enemy general.
The foreign leaders of the cavalry, who were about to retreat, fell to the ground one by one.
At the same time, on this battlefield, the sound of slaughter came out.
Within a few dozen feet, the cold light rushed across the sky, and the flying knife slid through the throat of the enemy like a ghost, reaping their lives.
The leader of Oara looked at this tragic scene and was greatly shocked. One after another, the weak corpses fell to the ground after a long time.
This Ming army team, under the training of Ling Luoshi in the early years, has become extremely fierce, and now they are fighting without fear of death.
Although he had never fought against Ling Luoshi head-on before, his reputation was long gone. He was simply not a human being, he was simply a human devil.
At this time, a cavalry team of a thousand people was wandering in the borderlands of the Daming Army, ready to wait for an opportunity to fight the autumn wind and slaughter a village, and then hurriedly returned to the grasslands while their army was empty.
But even so, these thousand troops were discovered by Ling Luoshi, and they sent cavalry to kill many people.
That night, tens of thousands of corpses fell to the ground from the entire Oara tribe.
"Hey! An army of more than 200,000 people can't even break through a small Datong Mansion. It's really useless!"
"Ming Jin withdraws troops!"
"Quickly withdraw the troops!"
Oara, among the Tatar tribes, their leaders all gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
The reinforcements that appeared in Datong Mansion suddenly broke their original plan, and they seemed to feel that things were not that simple.
They also know how much they have prepared for this day and how many sleepless nights they have spent.
The leader of Nawara said with a gloomy expression: "These Ming troops have already occupied the time and place, and now our army has missed the best opportunity!"
"However, the fact that there are not many soldiers in the Ming army does not mean that we have no chance."
"Our plan is to lengthen this front, first wantonly slaughter the surrounding villages, and introduce all these Ming troops into the city, thereby annihilating them in one fell swoop."
After the leader of Oara finished speaking, the other tribal leaders who were present looked at each other, and the leaders nodded silently, indicating their agreement.
Seeing that everyone had no opinion, he said to everyone in a solemn voice: "So, let's order!"
"The front-line troops began to retreat, leaving some scouts to continue to probe the movement of the army."
"This is just their front-line troops, and the person leading the troops is by no means their general."
"Everything went according to plan."
The frontline war is in full swing.
In Zijin City, the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao is also deploying this protracted battle in full swing.
Civil and military officials are discussing this matter.
Zhu Houzhao knew the fact that Emperor Hongzhi said that this war is actually about food and money. Generally, wars should not be launched lightly.
Now, this sentence has been confirmed in Zhu Houzhao's body.
On the dragon chair, Zhu Houzhao said with a dignified expression: "The Minister of the Household, how much grain is there in the treasury that can be transported?"
Liang Chu stepped forward and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, the properties of corrupt officials and officials who were confiscated before, as well as the silver taels donated by the ministers, removed the daily expenses such as the navy, firearms, and frontier defense, and are now in the treasury. There are only about three thousand taels left."
"However, a new tax policy is currently being implemented. I believe that the monthly tax collection will not empty the treasury."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "That's very good. The money in my hand is enough to fight a beautiful battle with Oara."
Minister of Industry Li Suide also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has already sent more people to manufacture firearms and ammunition. If they have been successfully manufactured, the minister will send them to the front line in batches."
"This new type of iron ship has also begun to take shape. I believe that in less than a week, the first warship will come out~www.novelbuddy.com~ Well, good!"
Zhu Houzhao said aloud, with a proud look on his cheeks.
This period of hard work finally paid off. He originally planned to use troops against Oara when the treasury was more abundant, but he did not expect that they would start a war against Daming first. In that case, come on!
Today, Daming has an army of one million, and new firearms are also advancing by leaps and bounds. These are all the confidence of Zhu Houzhao.
However, Haiphong is now a weak area.
If there is no strong coastal defense equipment, it is estimated that the enemy will invade and Daming will be in a passive position.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Suide and said, "Li Qing's family, the new maritime front is related to the safety of our Daming coastline. Ai Qing must not be slack!"
"I understand."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and said solemnly: "I received a quick report yesterday, and the reinforcements who rushed to Datong Mansion have rescued Datong Mansion."
"At the same time, the terrifying general has led the army to help, and we can reach Datong House on the same day. The border crisis has been resolved, and I have no worries."
After speaking, the civil and military officials showed excited expressions on their faces.
These civil servants, on weekdays, always impeach this and that. It can be said that they are a group of scholars who are paid for by the imperial court.
An army of 300,000 against 200,000 in Oara was enough to crush the enemy in numbers alone.
Moreover, the foreign enemies did not have any firearms at all. They all relied on sharp curves and superb riding skills. How could they win in front of big firearms?
Even the firearms that had been seized before could not be compared with Daming's new firearms. Under such a situation, Daming already had a good grasp of victory.
This is the strength of the emperor!
