"Gentlemen, the Tatars have already invaded the Great Wall!"
All the military officers in front of the tent stood upright, with their helmets on their heads, motionless. All they could hear was their heavy breathing... They were all breathing, and they sounded angry! Everyone looked excited, and the muscles on their faces twitched.
Zhu Youjian was also in full military uniform and wore a heavy long body armor. Although he and Emperor Tianqi are brothers, their physiques are different. Emperor Tianqi looked like a bean sprout, and he knew he was not in good health just by looking at him. And Zhu Youjian is still very strong, especially since he was reborn, he pays great attention to exercise, eats a lot, carries a stone lock and draws a hard bow every day, and even swims in Taiye Pool when the weather is hot... He can swim very well. Got it! This was a good habit he developed over decades in his previous life. How else would he live to be 90?
After nearly ten months of training, Zhu Youjian's physique has grown stronger, and when he puts on a suit of armor, he looks like a military general. There were two strong young men standing next to him, one was Wu Sangui, and the other was Hei Yunlong's godson named Hei Wentao. Wu Sangui and Hei Wentao are both sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys. Like Zhu Youjian, they are tall and strong, but their martial arts skills are slightly worse than Zhu Youjian's.
What? Is Wu Sangui's martial arts inferior to Zhu Youjian?
Of course not! Zhu Youjian has decades of skills in his previous life... After resuming training these days, he has basically reached his peak state, and he can be called the best in the world in martial arts!
If there were no restrictions on weapons, if Batulu, the number one man in Manchuria, met Zhu Youjian now, he would be killed with one shot!
In addition to the two young guards Wu Sangui and Hei Wentao, there were dozens of young knights wearing golden armor standing behind Zhu Youjian. They were all young warriors recruited from the families of generals at all levels in the front army. They were either the biological sons or godsons of those generals, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts. After Zhu Youjian contracted out the salt tax to Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, he gathered these young warriors and asked them to stay with him twelve hours a day. Even if he was having sex with Queen Zhou, Concubine Tian, Concubine Yuan and others, he would still have a group of young warriors guarding him outside the Qianqing Palace.
This group of people has no connections in the city of Beijing. Their families have pointed out that the army in front of the account is rich and powerful, and they are the most reliable at the moment.
Moreover, their martial arts are very strong, and they can all go into battle to kill the Tatars!
And Zhu Youjian took them with him, not only as soldiers, but also as students... He was not only the best in the world in martial arts, but also the best in the world in military skills!
Therefore, he does not need to follow the example of Nizi and open a martial arts hall and ask foreigners to teach him, he can teach it himself.
Of course, we still have to hire foreign generals and soldiers from Macau, we can’t just build a car behind closed doors! Zhu Youjian was only a military strategist on paper and had never actually commanded a Western-style army, so he still had to ask foreign generals and soldiers to serve as a reference.
But now Sun Yuanhua has not invited the foreign generals and soldiers. He just sent a memorial from Macau, saying that he had met with the Portuguese soldiers in Macau. The other party is also willing to send people, but it will take some time to recruit them all. In addition, Zhu Youjian had not personally operated artillery, but had only read about it in books, so foreigners still needed to teach artillery.
In addition, Sun Yuanhua also approached the manager of the Bujialao Cannon Foundry in Macau, and followed Zhu Youjian's instructions to make a request to purchase a 3-pound bronze regiment cannon. Now 20 guns have been ordered, and the Bugalao Cannon Foundry is stepping up production.
In short, it will take some time to arrive.
Fortunately, Zhu Youjian was not in a hurry. The previous change happened in October of the second year of Chongzhen, and there was still more than a year left!
It’s time for these foreign soldiers, generals, and artillery pieces to arrive. There are 20 3-pound regimental cannon and 10,000 cavalry, plus hundreds of foreign generals and soldiers who cover and operate the regimental cannon. No matter what, Huang Taiji can be blasted out...
When he thought that the great cause of reviving the Ming Dynasty would soon be realized in his own hands, Zhu Youjian couldn't restrain his excitement. He looked at the rows of generals standing in front of him and looked at a fluttering military flag. Looking further away, nearly 10,000 soldiers were neatly dressed and arranged in a strict formation. They all had their chests and bellies raised, and their morale was high, just waiting to kill the Tatars.
Looking at these tiger warriors who he spent a lot of money to recruit and train, Zhu Youjian's eyes became moist.
"The Tatars are here, coming to rob our land, our money, and our women! You are all my knights now. Each of you has been assigned hundreds of acres of farmland. None of you have a family. We have all divided our wives, and there are many houses and farms around the capital... Now the Tatars are coming to rob us, what do you think we should do?"
What Zhu Youjian talks about is very simple truth, without any national righteousness or Confucius and Mencius. That's the truth...the Tatars are here, coming to rob you of your land, money and women! Now you are all proletarian fighters with women, houses, land, and money. What should you do?
His words were repeated in unison by the young man standing behind him, and everyone in the Nanhaizi camp heard them.
Everyone is angry!
"Let's fight! Let's fight with the Tatars!"
The first one to roar was Li Zicheng!
He was almost furious!
The Tatars are so bad that they actually want to rob his wife, land and house... That is the daughter of the Lao Zhu family who was rewarded to him by the Long Live Lord! She is only 16 years old, fair and tender, with noble temperament. She is a woman from the royal family of Zhou in Kaifeng. Li Zicheng was just a commoner from Mizhi in northern Shaanxi. To be able to woo a woman of this caliber was truly a blessing that he had cultivated for eight lifetimes!
The Tatars are actually coming to rob us! Li Zicheng wished he could eat the Tatars alive!
"Yes! Well, the Tatars fought hard!"
Li Jin was also angry. He also got a daughter from the old Zhu family, a girl from the Prince of Qin's family. She was fair and plump, and she looked blessed.
How could Li Jin, a great man, let the Tatars snatch his fat wife away? Such a hateful Tartar must be chopped into pieces!
"We are fighting with the Tatars!"
"We are fighting with the Tatars!"
"Kill, kill, kill..."
Then more knights in front of the tent became angry. Tens of thousands of people roared, trying to fight the Tatars who invaded the Han tribe.
This is not an ordinary Ming army, but the emperor's servants, all armored knights. Although there are no good horses, A still has them, and he has also practiced the ability of group charge. You can use regiments and battalions as groups to launch a wheel charge.
Don't underestimate this style of fighting. It may not be able to attack the rear Jin army's formation, but there is no problem in attacking the armed herdsmen on the grassland.
The armed herdsmen who invaded the Han tribe were no longer the Mongolian warriors who followed Genghis Khan and defeated them in all directions. This group of people could only play horseback shooting and dispersed as soon as they were beaten, which was of no great use.
In fact, the backbone of Hutu Dun Khan's conquests were not the group of nomads, but the iron cavalry selected from them, which were similar to these group of emperor's servants. But the number was much smaller, not ten thousand, but three or four thousand at most.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian did not need to mobilize many troops. He took the 10,000 cavalry in front of him to Datong and was able to hang up Hutu Dunhan and beat him.
After defeating Hutu Dunhan, Zhu Youjian's prestige increased.
At that time, there will no longer be any need to worry about the useless nobles in Beijing. The purpose of his personal expedition this time is actually to stay away from them.
Because the interests in the Southeast Salt Industry are huge... Even if the Donglin Party and the Liao Town Frontier Army are in front, there is still no guarantee that anything will happen.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian is still very careful during this period, and to really feel at ease, he still has to send these useless guys out of Beijing...
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, would you like to follow me to the west to kill the captives?"
Going west...not going to Liaodong to kill Donglu!
The Mongols in the west are no longer powerful. Everyone knows this, so no one is afraid of them.
"willing!"
"Well, we are willing!"
"We will follow you to the death..."
When Zhu Youjian saw the passionate scene, his own blood boiled with excitement!
"Send troops!" Zhu Youjian shouted with all his strength, "The enemy is at Baishan Mountain!"
The people below also shouted together: "Kill the enemy! The enemy is on Baishan Mountain!"
