It’s no wonder that Buyan Timur had such an idea that he would die as a fellow Taoist but not as a poor Taoist.
Daye's army of hundreds of thousands came fiercely, and even Yingchang was captured. You must know that Yingchang has a lot of troops.
In addition, the number of troops deployed in these border defense areas is not less than 100,000.
And how long did it take for Daye to acquire these sites?
The great cause is unstoppable right now, and the first person to bear the brunt is yourself.
Based on his understanding of Tujian Timur, most likely he would be reaping the benefits from behind.
If he had any shortcomings, this guy would be Meng Yuan's only hope.
He would never allow it.
I just gave up Xinjing and returned to the grassland. If word spread, it would make people laugh.
what to do?
Buyan Timur was a little anxious.
He summoned his staff and finally discussed a countermeasure. He first sent someone to talk to Tujian Timur to discuss cooperation.
The two used to advance and retreat together, but after the fall of Yingchang, they became enemies.
Although they should stick together for warmth at this moment, two ambitious people working together have to guard against being framed and annexed by the other party at any time. It is better to fight independently, but they still need to be consistent externally.
In this way, this crisis can be overcome.
Zhu Jun, who had just crossed the strait, had no idea that his strategy had scared the Meng Yuan clan king so much that he wanted to run back to his hometown.
He is now traveling day and night, trying to reach Yingchang as soon as possible.
Fortunately, all the cities along the way were captured and the journey went smoothly. On the fourth day of crossing the sea, we arrived at Yingchang.
The wind blowing from the grassland seemed to sweep away Zhu Jun's fatigue.
The city wall is not made of bricks, but of rammed earth and some large stones. No wonder it is so easy to break the city.
Black powder is still a bit reluctant to use to blow up city walls, so it can only be used to break down doors.
Many important cities have barbicans. Even if you break through the outermost gate, once you enter the barbicans, you will fall into the trap woven by the opponent.
Therefore, the update and iteration of gunpowder must be carried out quickly, and the production of grenades and artillery must be increased.
"It's my honor to live up to my humble duty!" Li Jiba knelt on one knee in front of Zhu Jun. At this moment, he was proud.
With five thousand cavalry, they captured Yingchang without letting a single big fish escape, which is a miracle.
Looking at the long history, this battle is worth talking about.
"Get up!" Zhu Jun helped him up. "You fought well in this battle and did not let me down."
"Thank you for the compliment, His Highness. It is because of Your Highness's planning that my subordinates can win the battle thousands of miles away!" Li Jiba said sincerely.
Zhu Jun smiled and then led the soldiers into the city.
To be honest, Yingchang City is quite big and seems to be quite prosperous. The Mongolian people fled here for more than ten years and managed it well.
But this place is isolated on all sides and is on the grassland. Once the enemy gets close to it, there is a high probability of breaking the city.
The cavalry they relied on was in vain if it could not play its role.
It's ridiculous that these people still want to take back Shanhaiguan, regain the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and revitalize the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
If Li Jiba ran to Xinjing or other places, it would not be easy for Li Jiba to go so smoothly.
However, these are the eyes of a victor, just like Yongle moving his capital and the emperor guarding the country. Can you say he is arrogant?
Facts have proved that the emperor who conquered Mobei five times was right.
But once the strength is insufficient, you will be thrown into jail.
The people in the city looked at Zhu Jun in awe, and many people knelt aside for fear of offending Zhu Jun.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Jun also shook his head and said nothing.
Some things have been infiltrated into their bones and cannot be changed by a few words.
Just like in later generations, some people no longer have braids on their heads, but the braids still grow in their hearts.
Walking all the way to the Mengyuan Palace, all the royal children were imprisoned here.
Nobles with slightly lower status did not receive this kind of treatment. All the men were sent to labor camps, and all the good-looking women were assigned to Li Jiba's subordinates.
This is also the rule.
Zhu Jun explicitly prohibited looting.
He acquiesced in this kind of thing.
Men only focus on three things: women, power, wealth, and children.
The times have their own context and rules, and Zhu Jun can only be as humane as possible.
"The Polo Timur people were saved, but they were stupid and didn't say anything.
The little emperor was frightened and had been ill for the past two days. The military doctor gave him an injection on his buttocks, and he got better in the past two days. "Li Jiba said about the situation of these high-level prisoners, "There is still a large amount of food, grass and baggage in Yingchang City.
The most important thing is that we seized no less than 60,000 horses, cattle and sheep this time.
Your Highness, we can form 30,000 or even 50,000 cavalry! "
"I only have two guards, how can I assemble so many cavalry?"
Li Jiba became anxious, "We have made such a great contribution this time, can't we even ask for a guard spot?"
"Don't worry, the cavalry division will definitely be formed. If a cavalry division comes, our shortcomings will be completely filled." For Zhu Jun, the more people, the better. He has always chosen the elite. route.
But he is a vassal king, and the number of three bodyguards is the limit.
With 45,000 people, among any vassal king, it is considered a heavy vassal.
Lao Zhu and his eldest brother pamper themselves, but they cannot go too far. If others follow their example, it will be difficult for them to do the same.
But this third guard spot is definitely needed.
Seeing that Zhu Jun knew what was going on, Li Jiba also completely let go.
With such a war horse, if there is a full cavalry, he can even ride three people per person.
However, some of these war horses must be confiscated.
Entering the palace, Li Jiba had already called all the members of the royal family over.
These people were once the most noble people in the Meng Yuan Dynasty, but it is a pity that now they are no better than a phoenix in trouble. They all knelt on the ground in despair and shouted at Zhu Jun: A thousand years old, King Wu.
Even the two-year-old little emperor timidly knelt on the ground and followed suit.
He just glanced at the Qi family and the Quan family. These two most noble women in Meng Yuan were looking at him helplessly, pitifully and with a feeling of pity for them.
Zhu Jun selected some decent women from the royal family. These women were trophies. When the time came, they would be rewarded to others as concubines, which would also enhance the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.
"These two princesses are so pretty and smooth that they can be used as conservatory maids!" Zhu Jun said, pointing to the two youngest and most beautiful women inside.
Li Jiba hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Seeing Zhu Jun starting to allocate women, Qi quickly gathered the loose hair behind her ears and pulled her clothes slightly aside. The bright white jade plate was so bright that people unconsciously wanted to look at it more. Eye!
