 "Shui Tiao Ge Tou·The wind is blowing today"

The wind is strong today, and Wu Gou is swinging in the north of Saibei.

This wind sweeps away the captives to the west, and its power cannot be retained.

Mo Dao warriors are arrogant,

The war drums are still shaking,

The Spring and Autumn Period is written with passion.

The strong man has his heart in mind and pays all for the ancient city tower.

The soil of our ancestors, every inch of blood, we dare not throw away.

My body is full of pain, my clothes are torn,

My generation has its roots in romance.

The sword points to the Yeni River,

The gentleman's style immediately,

Destroy the Hu chieftain in one song.

A life-and-death battle on the battlefield is nothing more than a leisurely stroll.

After writing the last word, Zhu Ruodeng, the Ji Wang of the Ming Dynasty, took a long breath and threw away the brush.

"Okay, Your Highness's words are quite childish in style. Hearing the chicken dance, hitting the sticks in the middle of the stream, it is exactly what we want!"

Zhu Ruodeng looked back, but it was Lu Shiyi who raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Master Lu is ridiculous, Gu is just expressing his feelings. At that time, Zu Shizhi led his tribe of more than a hundred families to cross the river, and when the stream hit him, he swore: "Zu Ti

Those who cannot clear the Central Plains and restore prosperity will be like a big river. Looking at the Yenisei River in the distance today, I should imitate the ancestors!"

"How magnificent! Your Highness has such ambitions, so why worry about the injustice of Rakshasa and the loss of Northern Territory!"

Lu Shiyi praised again, and suddenly said in a low tone: "There is news from Beijing that Chen Yanxia has passed away." He, Chen Hu, Sheng Jing, and Jiang Shishao are known as the "Four Gentlemen of Taicang", and their friendship with each other is extremely profound.

Emperor Guangwu did not want to establish an emperor grandson early, but Chen Hu deliberately used his identity as the crown prince's teacher to ask for the establishment of an emperor grandson. In order to alienate the relationship between the emperor and the prince, he helped King Ji ascend the throne. Emperor Guangwu really became suspicious.

The prince turned to support King Ji and King Yu, but Chen Hu was beheaded and abandoned. This made Lu Shiyi heartbroken and so sad that he had no tears.

"Alas! I can't help Chen Yanxia!" Zhu Ruodeng sighed and shed tears.

Lu Shiyi said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be sad, Chen Yanxia did not die for Your Highness."

"Chen Yanxia didn't die for an orphan? Then who did he die for?"

Lu Shiyi bowed deeply to Zhu Ruodeng, "Chen Yanxia died for the establishment of a free and democratic new Ming Dynasty! He died for the millions of people in the Ming Dynasty! He did not die for His Highness alone. If His Highness can ascend the throne as emperor in the future,

, please fulfill your promise to Chen Yanxia to comfort his soul in heaven!"

Zhu Ruodeng was deeply shocked. At first, he just wanted to use the influence of these great scholars to build momentum for his rise to power, but he did not expect these scholars to be so courageous! In order to realize their ideals, they would sacrifice their lives!

He hurriedly returned the gift and expressed his position: "Master Lu, don't worry. The day when Gu Ruoyou takes charge of the national affairs, he will definitely convene the Council of Counselors for all the virtuous people in the country. All major events in the world will be implemented only with the consent of the Council of Ministers. This is Gu Ruo's promise to Chen Yanxia, ​​if

Breaking this promise will not be tolerated by heaven and earth!"

After hearing these words, Lu Shiyi nodded silently and suddenly said: "Your Highness, there is one more thing: the envoys sent by the emperor to Moscow were expelled by the Rakshasa people and they want to see you."

??

In the Panlong tent, Zhu Ruodeng, the king of Ji in the Ming Dynasty, was sitting majestically in the middle, with generals lined up on both sides.

Dong Xuan and Li Shouzhi stood honestly in front of Zhu Ruodeng. Even though they were angels sent to Moscow by the old emperor, they did not dare to act presumptuously in front of the real Tianhuang nobles.

"The two imperial envoys have traveled thousands of miles. Are the Rakshasa people willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and withdraw their troops to the west of the Ural Mountains?" Zhu Ruodeng asked.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, the Rakshasa Tsar Alexei is very arrogant. Not only did he reject the Holy Spirit's edict, but he also expelled us from the country." Dong Xuan looked angry.

"What! Rakshasa ghost is hateful!"

"Let's just go to Moscow and destroy this ghost country!"??

When they heard that the Rakshasa people were so rude, the generals Ma Bao, Ruan Jin, Chen Youlong, Wang Chaoxian, Ma Xin, Wang Guoxi, Hu Maozhen, and Chen Biao were all furious, and they all started shouting that they would fight to Moscow.

/p>

Zhu Ruodeng's expression remained unchanged, "Tsarist Russia is a big country with some strength. They are unwilling to surrender. I have already predicted it. It doesn't matter. If you don't surrender, we will fight until they surrender. What can you and I collect about Rakshasa in Tsarist Russia?"

Useful information about people?”

Dong Xuan winked at Li Shouzhi.

Li Shouzhi understood, took out a roll of drawings from his arms and said: "Your Highness, I know a little bit about the art of painting. When I went to Moscow, I drew a picture of the mountains, rivers and garrison conditions I saw along the way and presented it to Your Highness.

”.

When Zhu Ruodeng saw that this picture was more detailed than ordinary military maps, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "You two have made a great contribution to the investigation of the enemy's situation seriously!"

"Your Highness, when we were in Tsarist Russia, we noticed frequent mobilizations of Rakshasa troops. It seems that Tsar Alexei intends to send troops to reinforce Siberia. Please be sure to capture Yeniseisk before the enemy reinforcements arrive, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

", Dong Xuan said again.

"Well, it's okay to be alone. You two envoys have worked hard, please go back to your tent and rest."

After listening to Dong Xuan and Li Shouzhi's words, Zhu Ruodeng knew that troops were valuable and quick, so he immediately led his army to march day and night to the gates of Yeniseisk.

As soon as they arrived at Yeniseysk Fort, news came that Hada of one hundred households led three hundred Chu-Van warriors to capture Igarka Fort near the outlet of the Yenisey River, and blocked the river, completely cutting off Yeniseysk Fort's contact with the outside world.

news.

"Okay! I didn't expect that a mere three hundred soldiers could accomplish such a great feat. This hada is amazing! I want a big reward for it!"

Zhu Ruodeng was overjoyed and appointed Hada as Deputy Qianhu. In order to win over the tribes in the northern Xinjiang during this expedition, Emperor Guangwu gave him a hundred blank official documents. Those below the rank of general could make their own decision. This came in handy again.

.

??

On February 19, the 14th year of the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, the siege of Yeniseysk began.

Because he knew that the Rakshasa reinforcements were about to arrive, Zhu Ruodeng struck hard with a heavy blow.

Various intelligence shows that Bashkov, the Rakshasa warlord in the city, has no intention of surrendering or abandoning the city and escaping. Instead, he is preparing to defend the city and resist to the end. In this case, there is no strategy to encircle three buildings, but to surround them on all sides.

Siege the city. Fight head-to-head to see whose fist is stronger.

He ordered three thousand soldiers and horses from Chen Youlong, Wang Guoxi, Bao Luo, and Xili Dege to attack the east city; three thousand soldiers and horses from Ruan Jin, Chen Shangchuan, Ruan Jun, and Gentemuer's troops to attack the north city; Ma Xin, Chen Qice, and Li Shiyuan's troops attacked the north city.

Three thousand soldiers and horses attacked the west city; Hu Maozhen, Yan Xiaoyong, Wang Chaoxian, Deng Yao, Liu Yipeng, and five thousand soldiers and horses of the Heiji tribe attacked the south city. In addition, Zhu Ruo ordered Chen Biao and Zhang Qixiang to lead three thousand Chinese troops and stationed outside the south city. He also

Order the three thousand cavalrymen of Bier Tahar, Fuleh and Zorba to patrol outside the city to prevent the Rakshasa army from the direction of Tomsk from rescuing.

The south gate was the focus of Zhu Ruodeng's attack. He concentrated a hundred cannons at the south gate, while only 20 cannons were deployed at the east, north, and west gates.

After the war, Chen Youlong described the scene at that time in "Anecdotes of the Western Expedition": "Lightning flashed across the sky, and the huge thunder shook the earth. No, that was not lightning, but the speeding of artillery shells; it was not thunder, but

It's the roar of artillery fire. When you hear it in your ears, there will naturally be a fire burning in your heart."
