In mid-October, Wa Ci mobilized a large-scale army to invade the Xuanfu, and used 20,000 elite troops to seize the Kaiping Guards. The Kaiping Guards commanded Qian Shi and led more than a thousand soldiers and young men in the fort to hold off the enemy for nearly half a day. The situation became critical. At that time, Yang Jun, Shi Biao, and Yuan Bin led three thousand elite cavalry and falsely claimed that Yang Hong was here personally. Regardless of the fact that his troops were exhausted and his horses were depleted, they fought desperately and defeated the army led by King Saikan.
The pursuit lasted for tens of miles. During the pursuit, more than 2,300 people were beheaded. After a great victory, they returned to Dushikou Fort. There were nearly 4,000 young men and soldiers in the fort. After holding on for half a day, less than half of them survived. After counting, the soldiers of Dushikou Fort, relying on the defense, killed more than 3,700 enemies in total, and more than 1,270 people were stabbed by the tiles who failed to escape.
"In this battle, a total of nearly 8,000 enemies were killed and captured. Among Yang Jun and Shi Biao's troops, they suffered 1,117 casualties and 275 cavalrymen killed. Everyone in the Banbidian Fort reinforcements was injured, with 230 killed. Four people, plus reinforcements from Junzibao..." Qian Zhong, who was elated at first for this great victory, couldn't help but feel a little sad after reading this.
"Nearly 3,000 of our troops were killed and 8,000 of the enemy were killed and captured. It can be regarded as a great victory, but it is a tragic victory." Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but sighed. "If the Dushikou Fort of Pingkai Guard Station had all the soldiers and soldiers, , the city is strong. How dare Wa Ci dare to attack with a partial army?"
"Yes... Although those young and strong soldiers in the border forts have undergone drills and training, they are not Ming Dynasty border troops who have been trained for a long time, have been in battle, and have seen blood. They have neither good weapons nor armor, so they suffered casualties. It’s quite huge. After this battle, I don’t know how many families in the border fort will be destroyed, and their wives and children will be scattered.” Luo Hengxin couldn’t help but sighed. His face showed a bit of emotion and dissatisfaction. If it weren’t for the greed of Wu Biao and others, Corrupting military resources, leaving their posts without authorization, and even moving troops abroad. Such things should not happen at all.
When he thought of this, Luo Hengxin couldn't help but feel a little more hatred for those people. He stood up and told Zhu Qizhen: "In three to five days, Wu Biao and other prisoners will be escorted to Xuan Mansion. How to deal with it when the time comes depends on His Majesty’s judgment.”
"The three departments of the General Military Mansion, the Jinyi Guards, and the Prosecution and Prosecution Department will jointly review and deliberate, and the final results will be announced to all counties and townships in our Xuan Mansion, as well as to all guards, stations, and forts. I want everyone to understand. Whoever dares to make me unhappy, I will give him a happy one!" Zhu Qizhen grinned, and a fierce killing intent suddenly overflowed.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they all bowed their eyebrows and closed their eyes to accept the promise. As for the final outcome of the trial, there was no need to ask more. Apart from letting them die, I am afraid that there would be no other punishment method, which would make everyone feel angry right now. The thoughts of the angry Zhu Qizhen.

Besides, if Zhu Qizhen, the Supreme Emperor, hadn't spent so much money to drag over all the troops he had trained so well, and sent his confidants to follow, I'm afraid that the outcome of this battle would not have even been a tragic victory. arrive.
Those pro-soldiers, who were the darlings of Zhu Qizhen, lost nearly three hundred people in one fell swoop and injured one thousand and one thousand. Almost everyone was injured. Among the injured, at least some were close to him. A quarter of them were afraid that they would never be able to pick up a weapon and become a soldier. How could such a battle-loss ratio not drive Zhu Qizhen, who had high hopes for this pro-soldier, from going crazy and making him angry? !
"Jiang Fu, I will give you one and a half months to investigate, investigate thoroughly, and see if there is anything to do with the defense of our Xuanfu, each fort, and any other forts. If so, report it to me as soon as possible." Zhu Qizhen Huo Ran
He raised his head and shouted sharply at Jiang Fu, who was wiping the sweat from his forehead and letting out a long sigh of relief.
After hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Jiang Fu couldn't help but shudder, and immediately bowed down and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your Majesty. After I return, I will go to each guard station and fortress."
Investigate carefully, and those who violate the rules will be severely punished."
Zhu Qizhen nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said slyly: "Well, in addition, tell them if anyone dares to commit the crime again, which guard station it happened to be from, the guarding eunuch, the commander of the guard station, and the generals of the guard station.
Officials will be recorded with one major demerit and be demoted by one level. Local state and county officials and Jinyiwei are also required to bear the responsibility of supervision. If they know and fail to report, they will also be recorded with one major demerit and be demoted by one level. Those who commit crimes and find out the truth will be dismissed.
If you have a good job and have enough wealth, you will be demoted to a commoner and serve in a border town for ten years before you can leave.
If there are serious consequences due to this, once found out, they will be reported to me and they will be punished. In addition, I will explain again that any civil and military officials in Xuanfu Town who have three major demerits will be dismissed from their posts to serve the people and will not be allowed to serve the people again.
Joined as an official."
After hearing this series of murderous and severe orders, even though the earth dragon in the warm hall made the air and temperature in the whole warm hall feel like warm spring, everyone in the hall could not help but shiver.
"Your Majesty, since the news has been sent back, shouldn't we also report it to the court? After all, Wa Ci turned against the alliance and attacked. Such a major event should be reported to the court so that the border towns can take precautions.
"I wonder what your majesty thinks?" Jiang Fu thought for a while and then spoke.
Zhu Qizhen nodded: "Well, it's time to let the court know about this matter. Let you, the general soldier of the Xuanfu, handle it slowly. I won't care. Well... let's take a look at the court and me.
That's how the emperor's younger brother dealt with it."
After hearing this, Jiang Fu was stunned for a moment, and then he responded with understanding: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely handle the situation properly."
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but secretly exchange glances. What Zhu Qizhen said, "take it slow," doesn't it mean waiting for you to kill the person directly before reporting it to the court?
By the way, what else can be done? We can't just take those guys out of the coffin and whip their corpses, right?
Looking at the meaningful smile at the corner of Zhu Qizhen's mouth, and the cunning and despicable look in his eyes, he already understood it. I am afraid that His Majesty the Supreme Emperor has now put down the heavy stone in his heart and is thinking about how to disgust his younger brother.
Alright.
After all, if such a big thing happened in the Xuan Mansion, how could the court not come up with an explanation? Moreover, last year, the alliance letter signed between today and Wa Ci had not lasted for a year, so Na Wa
The assassin then betrayed his alliance and attacked our border town of the Ming Dynasty.
Although those nomadic peoples have always been capricious and untrustworthy, the problem is that this is tantamount to being slapped in the face of the emperor. You know, the emperor at that time was constantly promoting the covenant relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Wasi.
Jin Jian has been here, and in less than a year, he was stabbed by Wa Ci. Can he bear it?
Luo Hengxin couldn't help but frown slightly and opened his mouth, but when he saw Zhu Qizhen whispering something to Qian Zhong beside him, he couldn't help but swallow the words that came to his lips.
What's the use of trying to persuade oneself? Since today's Emperor ascended the throne, he has pressed each other step by step, set up obstacles at every turn, his intentions are sinister, and his actions are ungrateful. Everyone in the world has seen it, and they are all evil.
His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, had a grudge in his heart and wanted to seek revenge. Although it seemed a bit ungentlemanly, he did it in a dignified manner after all.
"It's true, well, today, if I could have walked upright and sat upright, how could I have been in such trouble today?" Luo Hengxin couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
"Finally..." After all the civil and military officials said their goodbyes and left, the smile on Zhu Qizhen's face gradually faded. He lay down on the couch regardless of his manners and let out a long breath.
It was as if he wanted to spit out all the depression that had accumulated in his heart for nearly half a month.
And an elegant figure moved to the side of the couch. A pair of beautiful eyes looked at the handsome face that was full of fatigue and looked a little haggard after being fully relaxed.
