The knights around are all in armor and riding gear. There are spears on the horses, long knives across the waist, three-stone hard bows in their hands, and five pots of arrows hanging on the other side.
This outfit made Xu Hongji take a breath. The armor and cavalry outfit were armored cavalry. Since the rise of firearms in the Ming Dynasty, heavy cavalry have never been seen again. The last heavy cavalry was from the Great Yuan Dynasty. After the Mongol cavalry, Zhuxia no longer had a chance to survive with armored cavalry, which is not to say that this thing is not applicable.
In fact, everyone knows that this thing is a good thing. When they faced the Mongolian cavalry, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were the leaders of the Yaoshen pioneers and fought against the opponent desperately.
As for why the Ming Dynasty didn't use it, it's very simple. After Mongolia lost the Central Plains, there were no craftsmen. They couldn't afford to build such equipment, so they used light cavalry. Zhu Yuanzhang's opponents couldn't afford this thing, so everyone They all gave up the slow armored cavalry and installed iron cavalry and switched to light cavalry.
But in fact, in the military manual left by Xu Da to his descendants, the iron cavalry is still very important. As soon as this thing goes into battle and launches an attack, everyone will lose the courage to face him, but the iron cavalry is still there. There are too many things to pay attention to when using it, and it is not something that ordinary people can play well. Besides, this thing is too expensive, and Zhu Yuanzhang was too stingy. It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to afford it.
But now an iron cavalry appeared in front of them. This scene had a huge impact on those of them who knew how to fight.
"Facial curtain, chicken neck, chest, horse body armor, back, parasitism, yes, yes, yes, this is the iron cavalry, the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty."
Xu Hongji and Xu Wenjue didn't know whether they should be excited or afraid. This iron cavalry belonged to the Ming Dynasty. Logically speaking, as nobles of the Wu family who had been replaced for generations, they should be happy, but they also knew in their hearts that this army was coming. , which means that Ming Dynasty is going to attack them.
They knew everything about what the wealthy merchants and wealthy families in Jiangnan were doing. Whether it was the assassination of the king or the bloodbath of the two major temples, they all knew about it. Not only did they know about it, they also participated in it for their own benefit. , and did a lot of things in it, such as Zhengde who fell into the water in Qingjiangpu, Huai'an.
They were all involved in these things. Now that they saw such a cavalry that had fought in such a bloody way, the two generations of Wei Guogong were frightened.
Now they can only pray that their family's inheritance will not be cut off.
Then Ping An saw that Geng Bingwen and the Beijing army had arrived at the gate of the palace, so he had people ring the Jingyang Bell for the third time.
"Hahaha, I came just in time. I will tell my generals that all three rounds of drums will be completed. All civil and military officials will be killed if they are not available!"
Geng Bingwen rode in on a tall horse. Along the way, they had eliminated Chongzhen's hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops into 60,000 forbidden troops. Moreover, these people had also undergone heavy training, and now they were used to fight in the wild. The army was no longer what it was when the country was founded, which made him very happy.
"At the end of Changxing, the Jingyang bell will be struck."
Ping An said with a cold face.
"Ping Bao'er, who are you lying to? You are obviously beating the drum of gathering generals in the army. Do you think I don't know?"
Geng Bingwen smiled and hammered Ping An's shoulder armor.
He likes the bad things that peace makes him do.
Looking at the civil and military officials who were already standing in the palace, Geng Bingwen suppressed his smile. He seemed to be killing directly now, but it didn't work. Zhu Biao told him before he came that he must have a past crime before he could kill. It was up to him to think of the crime. This journey was also very annoying to him. Unexpectedly, Ping Baoer solved a difficult problem for him.
In the military camp, anyone who fails to complete the three drums will die. This is military law, and he happened to use it here.
"Close the door and call the intruder, die!"
Geng Bingwen took off his helmet and gave orders to the soldiers around him.
Then he looked at the civil and military officials who were all chattering in low voices, stroked his beard, and smiled, with an unusually ferocious smile.
As for the civil and military nobles below who heard the conversation between the two, their eyes were darkened at this time, and huge waves were set off in their hearts. During the Ming Dynasty, only Geng Bingwen had this position as the Marquis of Changxing, and no one else had it, and Geng Bingwen He was forced to death by Zhu Di in the second year of Yongle, and his heirs were extinct after the Marquis of Changxing.
Let's talk about Ping Bao'er. This surname and this word are nothing, but together with Geng Bingwen, there is only one person, and that is the adopted son of Taizu who beat Zhu Di to death in the Battle of Jingnan. , Jining Guard Command Qian is safe.
The appearance of these two names made them all dizzy.
"It seems that many people have thought of it. Yes, I am the Marquis of Changxing Geng Bingwen, and the person beside me is Ping An Pingbao'er."
There was an uproar as soon as this was said. This answer really frightened them.
"How do you prove it!"
Xu Hongji asked as he shook his legs. He was not afraid but was sweating all over. The inner side of his thighs were worn out again. He was in severe pain. He felt pain when he moved and sweated when he was in pain. Then the sweat soaked the wound. It hurt even more, so he was shaking all over!
"Our family can prove it."
Cao Huachun came over at this time and told the news that Zhu Yuanzhang and the others had returned to the Ming Dynasty from heaven. This thing was something that the Zhu Ming royal family came up with in order to make the people accept this reality. Otherwise, Chongzhen was afraid that the people would Can not accept.
However, Chongzhen somewhat underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's status in the hearts of the people. In the end, it was not the people but the civil and military nobles who could not accept Zhu Yuanzhang.
When the Zhu Ming royal family saw several princes who had questions beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang until they vomited blood, they stopped asking questions. They all knew the big jade stick.
These words did not scare the civil and military nobles in the south. They all began to suspect that this was Guo Jing's old story, and then they started to make noises. Not only did they start making noises, but even their previous fears were forgotten. They all They began to scold Cao Huachun righteously. As for Geng Bingwen and Ping An, they didn't mention a word. Who would let them have soldiers?
At this time, An Jianqing came over from the palace gate.
"Master Hou, Lou Dongerzhang, who has returned to society, and his people are making noise at the gate of the palace, asking us to hand over the murderer who killed innocent people indiscriminately."
"Are we killing innocent people?"
Geng Bingwen looked at Ping An and said.
"No, it's just that someone blocked the way and I acted according to the law."
These words made all the civil and military nobles below stop talking. They remembered what they had just seen and began to be afraid again.
"Since we are doing it in accordance with the law, it will be fine. Tell those students to leave quickly, otherwise they will be punished as trespassing into the palace."
