Outside the customs, Vladivostok.
Although it is outside the customs, the weather has warmed up at this moment, and there is no such feeling of ice and snow. It is also a day outside the customs with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
However, the air in Vladivostok is always filled with the smell of blood. The shouts of killing are always echoing in the ears. The sound of heavy artillery firing is also lingering in the surrounding area. The screams are endless, and the neighing of war horses can also be heard in the surrounding area. .
Looking at the castle under the ruins, Guo Xun's eyes were also profound, and his mood could be said to have reached rock bottom.
This is not to say that Guo Xun lost his army and humiliated the country and was defeated outside the pass.
On the contrary, Guo Xun's campaign outside the Pass went quite smoothly.
Although there were some setbacks and bumps, overall, the army led by Guo Xun still defeated the Eight Banners outside the Pass. Especially after the North Korean army came, they had cannon fodder and logistical transportation, giving Guo Xun greater opportunities. With his own abilities, he fought with Bahai, the general of Ningguta.
After fighting for half a year, Guo Xun had basically captured all the cities except Vladivostok, but no matter what, this Bahai refused to surrender and resisted desperately. This made Guo Xun extremely depressed and even a little uncomfortable.
After all, at the same time, his colleagues were killing everyone in the pass.
Yu Dayou commanded the Battle of Chengde and the Battle of Beijing, and now he has been promoted from no title to Marquis of Fubo, to the rank of Admiral.
Liu Xun captured Baoding, Zhili, and marched into Shandong together with Yu Dayou, and was granted the title of Xin Pingbo.
Qiu Luan also took over the Taiyuan area of Shanxi Province. Although there was no change in his title, Qiu Luan was still the Marquis of Xianning, and if he went further, he would be the Duke of the country!
In the past six months, twenty-nine counts and four marquises have been born in the army.
This made Guo Xun helpless. He felt that if he could not resolve the battle as soon as possible, then he might be overtaken by the latecomers, or even stop moving forward and miss the position of Duke.
After he was a famous general, everyone was making meritorious deeds, and only he and Bahai were wasting their time in this place of ice and snow. How could Guo Xun not be helpless and depressed?
"Your Majesty, the city is broken, the city is broken!"
"Smecta, we finally broke the city Smecta!"
"..."
Suddenly, the cheers in his ears woke up the meditating general Guo Xun. When Guo Xun heard this, he immediately raised his head, only to find that the fortress that had troubled him for half a year had finally fallen.
Seeing this scene, Guo Xun was extremely excited and immediately ordered: "Enter the city and kill!"
After saying that, Guo Xun took out the sword from his waist, moved with the guard camp, and entered Vladivostok.
Vladivostok, this haunting place, represents the territory of Outer Northeast.
During the Second Opium War, it was taken away by Tsarist Russia and disappeared from the territory of China.
Guo Xun didn't know all this, but he only knew that His Majesty seemed to attach great importance to this city. Now that he had conquered the city, he should hurry up and report the battle report to His Majesty.
Guo Xun, who was riding on horseback in Vladivostok, did not hesitate at all, and asked the soldiers who invaded the city: "Soldiers, where is the Qing general, Bahai, who claims to be the regent?!"
This general who fought with him for half a year is naturally a big fish. After all, there are many regents in the Qing Dynasty now, but Bahai, the former Ningguta general and current regent, is very valuable.
"Your Majesty, Bahai, a Tatar from the Qing Dynasty, committed suicide on the day the city was breached. His body is still in the city. How to dispose of it?" The guards around him immediately came over to report, and at the same time asked cautiously.
After hearing this voice, Guo Xun couldn't help but be startled, then sighed, and then said: "He is a strong man, let him be buried outside the city."
Compared to the sycophants, Guo Xun still admires people who commit suicide like this.
If the Ming Dynasty was like this, how could we be admitted by the Eight Banners?
In the same way, if today's Eight Banners are all generals like this, how could they be beaten into the pass by the Ming Dynasty?
Regarding Ba Hai, Guo Xun said that he should find a pit and bury him.
Of course, that's it.
Otherwise, what other actions are needed?
If Bahai's family members were not all in Beijing, Guo Xun would have asked his family members to be buried with them.
"Your Majesty, in this battle we have captured 1,700 Qing Sauron tribe members, 860 red-haired ghosts, and more than 600 Eight Banner soldiers."
Another soldier also spoke at the side and reported to Guo Xun: "Your Majesty, I don't know what to do, but you want to behead the public to scare the troops?"
"Admission to prison."
After breaking the city, Guo Xun was in a good mood and didn't care about anything. He immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty loves using barbarians to mine mines. Now you can imprison these guys and offer them as prisoners to Beijing!"
One of the favorite rituals of the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty was to present prisoners at the Meridian Gate.
Those previous battles were not interesting.
Now this time, they have captured more than 860 red-haired ghosts. This is a great opportunity to offer prisoners!
If it makes His Majesty satisfied and happy, then the credit can be said to be great!
With a smile on his face, Guo Xun took a deep breath, and then said: "Call the troops to march north and accuse the Grand Duchy of Moscow for daring to interfere in the internal affairs of our Ming Dynasty. Order the King of Moscow to go to Beijing to plead guilty, otherwise our Ming Dynasty's army will be punished." , must be conquered and executed!"
Guo Xun's words were so murderous that the surrounding guards were in a daze.
But soon, a soldier asked: "But general, we have conquered the barbarian country without His Majesty's decree, isn't it..."
"It's just the Chen Bing border."
Guo Xun said: "I will write to your majesty to inform you of this matter. I will rush into the Grand Duchy of Moscow, attack two of its cities, and frighten them once or twice. I know from the mouths of those red-haired ghosts that it is not easy for the Grand Duchy of Moscow to live on the Western Front. , just need to make them surrender. If it is a conquest, after the Central Plains is pacified, we can easily conquer the Grand Duchy of Moscow."
After hearing Guo Xun's words, the soldiers around him were immediately enlightened, and immediately raised their hands and said: "The Lord is a master of calculation, I admire you!"
"Quickly convey the battle report to Your Majesty. There is a great victory outside the Pass. I have led the army to pacify the Pass. I want to offer the prisoners to Beijing. I hope Your Majesty will give you permission!"
…
In Beijing, Zhu Houcong was listening to a letter from a burly Mongolian man in front of him. Zhu Houcong couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He slowly opened his mouth and said: "You Mongolians want to submit to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Burni, the great Mongolian man, was very respectful and spoke eloquently to Zhu Houxuan: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, we Mongolia have followed the Ming Dynasty in the Northern Expedition. The three thousand battalions were originally formed by us Mongolia. Now that the Qing Dynasty is unjust, we Mongolia have longed for the Ming Dynasty. After a long time, now that the Ming Dynasty has returned, I am extremely happy, so I came here to submit."
"Um?"
Zhu Houcong put away his credentials, looked at Burni with a half-smile, and said to Burni: "Then why did you come to harass Beijing a few days ago?"
"Your Majesty, you are wronged, you are wronged!"
Burni immediately cried sadly and faced Zhu Houcong with tears in his eyes: "When we heard about the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, the people were excited and immediately led our troops south to prepare to help the Ming Dynasty capture the city of Beijing. Unexpectedly, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and our family You don’t recognize the family!”
"Later we discovered the problem and quickly withdrew our troops, so we didn't cause a tragedy!"
Burni burst into tears: "My Mongolian athletes suffered numerous casualties, all because of the Ming Dynasty! After learning the information later, our army marched westward, attacked Xi'an, and wiped out the captive slaves of the Qing Dynasty for Your Majesty!"
Every word of Burney's statement is true, all facts.
It's just that there's something special about the language that conceals part of the motivation.
This is Burni, an honest Mongolian man.
After hearing what Burni said, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but laugh, and then said: "Okay, I understand."
Zhu Houcong still knows a thing or two about Mongolia today.
After all, during the San Francisco Rebellion, the situation was excellent.
In front of them, Burni and his brother wanted to rescue the old king of Mongolia, so they launched an army to attack Beijing... and then were beaten.
There is no way, Mongolia was too severely weakened by the Manchus. The Mongolian cavalry of the year has disappeared. Now Mongolia is a seriously ill young man. On the surface, his limbs appear to be sound, but in fact he can be knocked down with one punch. It even disappears when the wind blows.
Therefore, Mongolia can actually be conquered.
after all,
There is nothing wrong with what Burni said. The Mongolian cavalry is indeed a franchisee of the Ming Dynasty cavalry. Among the cavalry in the early Ming Dynasty, there were three Mongolians out of ten.
Not only that, there are also a large number of Mongols in Zhu Houcong's army.
"Huang Jin, convey my will."
Zhu Houcong cleared his throat and then said: "Order all battalions of Mongolian soldiers to come out!"
"Burni, I order you to let the Mongolian tribes arrive with their troops. I will send Mongolian soldiers into Mongolia to instill your abilities. I hope you can train diligently and win glory for the Ming Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, Burni couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then he said in astonishment: "Huh? Your Majesty's grace is so great. I, Mongolia, are willing to give wings to the Ming Dynasty! Long live your Majesty, long live the Ming Dynasty!"
Mongolia has already sent it like this, and Ming Dynasty actually wants to support Mongolia?
Okay, okay, I can only say it’s great, great.
Burni's eyes filled with tears. She felt that Daming was so great and had such a good identity!
Seeing Burni so moved, Zhu Houcong didn't know what to say.
What's going on, you've been betrayed by me, and you still have to help me wash the floor, and you're so moved that you're crying?
The Mongolian soldiers in various camps of the Ming Dynasty have now become die-hard fans of the Ming Dynasty. If they go to Mongolia, they will only be extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Why?
Because these Mongolian soldiers traveled here and there with Zhu Houcong, they were already extremely devout to Zhu Houcong, so naturally they would not doubt the Ming Dynasty.
And what will be the final result if they are placed among tens of thousands of people in Mongolia?
These Mongolian soldiers will inevitably become the help of Ming Dynasty and become the Mongolian cavalry of Ming Dynasty.
And Burney was still crying with gratitude...Zhu Houcong didn't know how grateful he was.
But it doesn’t matter.
Since Burni has become such a situation, Zhu Houcong said that it is okay.
Okay, as long as there are enough people.
"Lu Bing, take him down and make arrangements."
Zhu Houcong waved his hand, and the energetic commander Lu Bing of the Jinyiwei beside him immediately accepted the order, stepped back with a smile, and then took Burni with him to prepare to go to the remaining camps in Tianjin and select Mongolian officers to go to Mongolia together.
Burni beamed and felt that Mongolia would become prosperous and strong again.
After all, in his impression, as long as these Mongolian officers enjoy the warmth of home in Mongolia, they will inevitably be used by them.
Hahaha, our Mongolia is going to be rich and powerful again, the Ming Emperor is so easy to deceive!
Burni smiled inwardly.
This time, everyone felt very comfortable and felt like they had won.
This is a happy event.
Burni happily left under the leadership of Lu Bing, while Zhu Houcong shook his head, and then said to the attendants: "Instruct all the armies to report military supplies, but which one needs new equipment? The Green Camp troops are now integrated. How is it, can we have a fight?"
Zhu Gaoxu immediately smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, all ministries have surplus military supplies. The Green Battalion has now gathered more than 100,000 soldiers. Although they are not elites, they can still fight under the supervision of the war! The two commanders and supervisors of the Tianjin Navy are also in place and are preparing to land in the south of the Yangtze River. In response to the local anti-Qing martyrs, after conquering Jiangnan, we will have no worries about food and grass, and we no longer need to transport food from our Jiajing Dynasty!"
"Shan, get ready. When I come back, we will start the war." Zhu Houcong also smiled, "When the time comes, I will need the help of His Highness the King of Han to command for me."
Zhu Gaoxu touched the back of his head and said with a wide smile: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I still have a lot to learn."
"Okay, it's almost time."
Zhu Houcong murmured to himself, and then a familiar electronic sound sounded in his ears.
[The cool-down time of the group meeting is over. New members will be invited to join the group meeting. The group owner can initiate a new round of group meetings. Do you want to initiate a group meeting and invite new group members? 】
Zhu Houcong, who had already calculated the time, nodded immediately and said, "Invite new members!"
This time you can invite group members.
This is the sixth meeting. After this time, Zhu Biao can also join the chat group to chat.
It feels like a long time has passed since the last time a group member joined the group.
It's a pity that Kangxi only got a quarter of the imperial capital, which is a sigh and a sigh.
[Searching for new group members...]
[Search completed, Zhu Houzhao has been invited to join the group chat. 】
"Zhu Houzhao?"
After seeing this name, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but look a little strange.
After all, this person is his cousin.
If his cousin hadn't suddenly fallen into the water and died suddenly, Zhu Houcong would not have been able to take the throne of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao also wanted to investigate the mystery of Zhu Houzhao's drowning when he first came to the throne. However, his first priority at that time was not to rehabilitate Zhu Houzhao. He had too many things to do.
After taking power, the chat group came again. Zhu Houzhao forgot about it for a while, so he couldn't investigate it for a while. He didn't know whether Zhu Houzhao really fell into the water because of his own troubles, or it was just a conspiracy theory. , was killed by civil servants.
But now, history will take a different turn.
Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor who joined the group chat, would never fall into the water and die.
[Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, joined the group chat. 】
After the group system reminded that 'Zhu Houzhao' had joined the group chat, Zhu Houcong nodded with satisfaction and said softly: "Enable the sixth group meeting function."
As Zhu Houcong's voice sounded, a door of light suddenly stood out, carrying Zhu Houcong's consciousness and heading towards the group meeting.
Vision blurred, body warm.
Then, Zhu Houcong chose the beach between the beach and the waterside pavilion.
"The beach is still comfortable, giving Zhu Houzhao a little shock of playing in the water."
Zhu Houcong thought in his heart.
After all, in a group meeting, no matter how much you play with the water, you won’t drown.
The problem that the Ming Emperor is easily soluble in water has been completely overcome!
…
Zhengde Dynasty.
The grassland is endless as far as the eye can see.
The wolfsbane flowers everywhere looked particularly dazzling. The Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao was wearing armor and looking at the surrounding scenes, feeling very good.
There were only a few riders following Zhu Houzhao.
On the vast grassland, Zhu Houzhao dared to explore the enemy's situation here with only a few cavalry.
I don’t know whether I should say that Zhu Houzhao is brave because of his skill, or that he is young and naive.
"Looking at the situation of the forage here, it seems that the Tatar army does have 50,000 troops. The little prince has some skills."
Zhu Houzhao murmured to himself, and at this moment, a mechanical voice suddenly appeared in his ear:
[You have been invited to join the Ming Emperor chat group. 】
Um?
Zhu Houzhao was stunned.
"Are you hallucinating?"
Zhu Houzhao frowned, looked at the knight beside him, his adopted son, and asked immediately: "What did you guys hear just now?"
"Emperor..."
Zhu Houzhao's adopted son Jiang Bin was about to say something, but he quickly reacted and whispered: "General, I didn't hear anything. Maybe the Tatar cavalry was shaken? Do you want to go back?" camp?"
Zhu Houzhao didn't feel anything, but the adopted sons who followed Zhu Houzhao were scared to death.
After all, Emperor Yingzong was captured back then, and they clearly remembered it.
Although the bachelors did not say how Emperor Yingzong was captured, the current situation was extraordinary. A random cavalry force of a hundred people would definitely make them shed their skin without dying.
"It's October, and the surrounding fog is filled with fog. It won't clear up in a few days. Why are you worried?" Zhu Houzhao said casually, "How can the Tatars go to war? I'm not afraid of the general. Jiang Bin, are you afraid? Already?"
Jiang Bin quickly said: "Of course I am not afraid, and I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"You really didn't hear anything just now?"
Zhu Houzhao asked again.
"It's true, General." Jiang Bin warned earnestly.
After all, Zhu Houzhao is not the emperor now, but General Zhu Shou.
Strange.
Zhu Houzhao muttered to himself.
At this moment, another burst of news came to his ears.
[The group owner 'Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong' has held a group meeting. Do you want to participate in this group meeting? 】
This time the voice was very loud. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be shocked, and then he said with a smile: "Zhu Houzhao? This name sounds familiar. Is he the son of Uncle Xing Wang and the cousin of this general? Is he Emperor Jiajing? That's strange. Could it be that something happened and they rebelled? Or are there other reasons?"
"That's all, you guys wait here, I'm going to have a meeting, general, and I'll be back soon."
Zhu Houzhao smiled heartily: "Jiang Bin, don't worry. If I dare to leave the camp, I'm sure the Tatars won't be able to find us. I'm not a fool, so don't worry."
Although he didn't know what this chat group was, Zhu Houzhao was extremely cheerful and confident.
After all, he has been the only crown prince since he was a child, and no one can shake his status. He is the only successor of the Ming Empire. Who dares to say anything?
Therefore, his self-confidence is not Yingzong's self-confidence. Yingzong's self-confidence is called arrogance, but he is really confident.
Jiang Bin and others were shocked and looked around.
Meeting?
What meeting?
Meeting with whom?
Is Your Majesty crazy? !
Just when Jiang Bin and others were looking at each other, not knowing what to do, a white light flashed in front of Zhu Houzhao. Soon, his consciousness left the grassland and gradually headed to a new space.
