In the end, luck prevailed over reason, and I chose to gamble first.
It was night, the clouds were clear, the wind was clear, and the sky was full of stars. I sat in the open space outside the Chinese army tent, looking up at the stars, and my heart was filled with regret. If the day after the victory in Tumubao, all the young men of Mongolia were immediately mobilized to form an army of 200,000 to attack Beijing, then at this moment, I must be lying in the Qianqing Palace, enjoying the emperor's women.
"No, that's not right!"
Thinking of this, he cursed bitterly: "That damn bastard Jingtai, if I attack the capital, the first person I want to play with is the woman of this ridiculous emperor.
I have to play it over and over again, in front of this bastard, I want him to become the most ridiculous emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and finally piss him off to death! "
…
Zhu Qiyu was pressing on the beauty's jade body, enjoying the tenderness of the little princess, when he suddenly sneezed heavily.
Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to smile helplessly at Lin Xiangyu and said: "Zi'er, are you scolding me secretly in your heart? Am I not serving you well? If you are dissatisfied, you can tell me directly. I am very humble and studious, and I will continue to do so." Improve my maiden skills."
Lin Xiangyu blushed and murmured in a low voice: "No, my husband's tongue has become more and more dexterous recently. I am very satisfied. How can I scold my husband in my heart?"
"Oh, who is scolding me? Empress Dowager Sun? The Supreme Emperor? Emperor Xuanzong of the underground? That shouldn't be the case. Their family suffered for themselves and deserved it, so they don't seem to have the right to scold me.
As expected, tomorrow will be the last battle.
The day after tomorrow, when the military report from the Xuanfu comes back, I will officially become the Mingjun Holy Lord who saves the Ming Dynasty from water and fire.
No, I have to summon Lian Gang, Xu Zheng, and Huang Jian tomorrow to have a deep talk with them. Then let them publicize my achievements so that the people in the capital can realize my contribution to saving the nation. "
Lin Xiangyu asked with a smile: "My husband has made such great achievements, do you want me to select another group of beautiful beauties as a reward for my husband?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head without thinking: "That's no need. I've grown to like you guys more and more recently. It's quite warm to be with you guys every day, so why do you want some unscrupulous women to come in and cause trouble?"
Besides, the new women will be treated differently from you, so they will definitely have different intentions. The treatment given is the same as yours, but I can’t afford it.
There are too many places to spend money. We need to build palaces for the prince and the princess of Chongqing; we need to build palaces for the princes of Dongwu and Xiwu; and we need to build a mansion for the young son who is Tuotuobuhua.
There is also Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's current wife, Yexian's sister, and her son. Tuotuobuhua has promised to hand over the mother and son to me, but we can't just throw them into prison, we have to find a mansion to imprison them.
There are also the new Yamen of Daning Dusi, the new military camp of Yingzhou Guard, the new palace of Xishan, and the reconstruction and expansion of the old palace. Why am I, the emperor, so poor now? "
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Since my husband is so poor and he usually thinks he has too many women, how about selling a few sisters? Selling one woman for 200,000 taels is not a big problem. Five of them are one million taels, which is enough. It took us half a year.”
Zhu Qiyu asked a little unconfidently: "My women are so good? Can each of them be sold for two hundred thousand taels?"
Lin Xiangyu nodded with certainty: "Husband, don't underestimate other people's wealth. The royal family and nobles in the capital are better off. Among the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, many of them have sent their families to stay in the capital.
Those people are rich and spend money like water. For them, spending two hundred thousand taels is not a big deal.
Husband, think about it from another perspective, if you are a rich man from Jiangnan with a net worth of millions, and now you have the opportunity to unbutton the emperor's woman, and then enjoy it in prison in your room, would you be willing to pay two hundred thousand taels of silver? "
Zhu Qiyu nodded with enlightenment: "Well, it seems that this is true."
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu turned to Ningxiang next to him, and then said with a smile: "Little concubine, this is the last night you will sleep with me. I have to cherish it, and I will pamper you tonight." .”
Seeing her playful and naughty jokes, Lin Xiangyu ruined the opportunity to sleep with her, and quickly lowered her head and begged.
The three of them started fighting again until late at night.
Early the next morning, before it was fully light, Zhu Qiyu came to the Xihua Hall and squatted there.
It was the last day, and Zhu Qiyu was concentrating on not wanting anything unexpected to happen.
The one who drank the northwest wind all night also woke up first, basically at the same time. Unfortunately, before Ye Xian even had time to eat breakfast, the soldiers came to report: "Grand Master, it's bad, there is a large army to the east of us, coming from the direction of Huai Lai."
Ye Xian was not surprised. His noble servant had already passed on the Ming army's troop deployment, so he smiled at the soldiers and said, "Why are you panicking? They are the personal guards of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. There are fifteen thousand people in total. Plus the newly recruited brave 3,000 people in the capital.
This army has little combat experience at all and is nothing to worry about. They would camp far away and huddle like a hedgehog. "
Hearing this, the soldiers were hesitating to withdraw when another soldier came in hurriedly and reported: "Grand Master, what's wrong, there is a cavalry force of about 20,000 people to the south of us."
When he heard this, he was immediately confused: "Where did this army come from? The information we received did not say that there were still 20,000 cavalry!"
The other Ming troops were fine, no matter how many there were, they were not afraid at first. Even if you can't beat him, you can at least run away.
But once they are entangled by 20,000 cavalry, and the other armies of the Ming Dynasty cooperate with the pursuit and interception, which one will be sent here by himself.
So he hurriedly dressed himself up and went out to the camp to check it out in person.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
Now the Oara army is surrounded by Xuanfu City to the west, Yingzhou Guards to the east, Shenji Camp to the north, and 20,000 cavalry of unknown origin to the south.
Isn't this a case of being surrounded on all sides?
He also made an accurate judgment on the situation in an instant: Run. Running is the only wise choice now.
But the embarrassing thing is that he first needs to lead the army to the south to meet up with Boyan Timur who is coming to Xuanfu.
Otherwise, Boyan Timur's five thousand wounded soldiers will definitely be made dumplings by the Ming army; and the Supreme Emperor will also be snatched back by the Ming army.
The Supreme Emperor is a life-saving trump card. If he loses it, he will be in big trouble.
There was no choice but to lead the army to the mountains south of Xuanfu.
The Ming army's 20,000 cavalrymen stood guard at the mouth of the valley, waiting to work.
In the end, more than 40,000 cavalrymen fought together, and it was difficult to resolve the dispute.
The Ming army's 20,000 cavalry held back Ye Xian's army for half an hour.
Half an hour later, Yingzhou Guards and Shenji Battalion surrounded them.
The ending is self-evident.
After another hour, Tao Jin ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and let them out of the valley mouth, letting the remaining soldiers leave first.
When Liu Zhongfu saw this, he immediately became anxious: "Captain Tao, we are about to annihilate all the troops first, why do you have to pay for the withdrawal of troops?"
Tao Jin smiled and said: "We have killed at least seven or eight thousand people. This result is already very brilliant, enough to give an explanation to the Holy Emperor and the imperial court.
There are still nearly 20,000 people. If we really force him to fight in a trapped beast, even if we can completely annihilate the enemy, we will have to pay the lives of another 20,000 Ming army soldiers. "
Liu Zhongfu was still puzzled: "It's just the sacrifice of 20,000 soldiers, but it can be solved once and for all. This deal is so cost-effective, why wouldn't Governor Tao do it?"
Tao Jin's face became serious: "Da Situ, all those who participated in the war were the emperor's direct relatives, and 20,000 soldiers were really sacrificed. Are you going to explain it to the Holy Lord?
Are the lives of those Ming soldiers so humble? Are they all stupid?
Let's talk about letting him go first. This is the long-term plan of the Holy Emperor in order to maintain the balance of Mongolia's power structure.
First of all, Tuotuo Buhua and Alazhiyuan will kill all the remaining soldiers for Your Majesty. There is no need for the Ming Dynasty soldiers to sacrifice in vain. "
Liu Zhongfu can also understand this truth. However, in the past few months, the Oara army had caused serious psychological shadow to many people in the Ming Dynasty. Liu Zhongfu still wanted to solve it once and for all to completely boost the morale of the government and the public.
So Liu Zhongfu subconsciously looked at the Shangshu Sword in his hand.
Tao Jin smiled and said: "Da Situ, please calm down. If you try forcefully, it will be futile and fruitless. The last general also has the Sword of Secrets, and he also carries the Holy Emperor's secret decree close to his body. Do you want to see it, Da Situ?"
Liu Zhongfu was a little confused, and he really wanted to see what happened.
Tao Jin had no choice but to take out the secret decree and hand it to Liu Zhongfu.
After reading this, Liu Zhongfu shook his head repeatedly: "Holy Lord, Your Majesty is truly a Holy Lord! He has actually considered all aspects.
In this case, I have nothing to say. I can only act in accordance with the Holy Emperor's orders. "
