Zhu Hongyu admitted that his suspicion has become more and more serious recently.
But for Zheng Chenggong, a national hero, the most he wanted was to seize power and had no intention of killing him.
Zheng Xuan resigned, and Zhu Hongyu, Zhou Tianxu, and Wang Ruxian continued to discuss matters.
…
The endless wilderness is covered with lush vegetation!
The low chirping of insects and birds kept ringing, and the grass by the river was green.
A small river with gentle flow, the surface of the river is as smooth as a mirror, clear and translucent.
The fish in the water are constantly swaying, and the fish scales are clearly visible. It doesn't look like there are fish in the water, but more like fish swimming in the air.
The fish's gills opened and closed slightly, spitting out bubbles one after another, which caused the clear and translucent river water to lose the texture of air.
It’s become real!
But at this moment, subtle ripples appeared on the smooth, mirror-like surface of the river.
The ripples continued to spread and even began to become more and more obvious.
In the distance, there was suddenly a faint sound of thunder.
The ground also began to tremble slightly, and small pieces of gravel among the crisp green grass were also beating rhythmically.
If there is an experienced battlefield veteran here, he can easily tell that there is a large-scale cavalry group marching.
And, it’s getting closer and closer to here!
Pulling his vision in the direction of the sound, he could see a dark group of cavalry appearing at the end of his sight in the distance.
Countless war horses galloped and drove, and the cavalry on horseback roared.
A large banner with red characters is flying high in the army!
Thousands of horse hooves trampled the earth, crushing the stubborn green grass growing on the ground.
Countless little lives that had lived peacefully under the cover of green grass passed away quietly.
Crushed by the roaring war horses!
The huge group of cavalry crossed the clear river, and the horses trudged past. In the blink of an eye, the originally clear river water became muddy with the mud on the horses' hooves.
At this moment, the flags in the huge cavalry group suddenly changed.
The cavalry that was running at full speed stopped quickly and stood still.
The war horse snorted loudly, and large beads of sweat flowed down the strong body of the war horse.
After drying, white crystals form on the fur!
Zhu Tingyun slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the heavy cotton armor on his body made him sweat.
The lining underneath the armor was already completely soaked with sweat.
After moving my body bones a little, I felt uncomfortable all over my body.
But there is nothing we can do about it. On the battlefield, this is what happened to Qiu Ba in the army.
Where does the slightest bit of cleanliness and attention to detail come from!
"How is it, how far are we from Ava?"
Zhu Tingyun picked up the water bag and drank a sip for himself, then asked his lieutenant.
The Ming army led by Li Dingguo adopted the strategy of this southern expedition to Burma. The generals of each department took turns to be the vanguard, responsible for the assault mission, and to make the first wave of wealth.
When it was Zhu Tingyun's turn, judging from the map, the section he was responsible for had already passed Awa, the capital of Myanmar.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Tingyun gritted his teeth and took the initiative to ask Li Dingguo for a fight.
He did not want to attack with the army, but asked for orders to lead an elite force and directly attack Ava, the capital of Myanmar.
Try to see if you can raid the broken city and capture Burmese king Mangbai alive!
At worst, they have to lead a team to capture Mang Bai and try to block his escape route. He cannot be allowed to easily escape from Upper Burma to Lower Burma.
After Li Dingguo thought for a while, he agreed.
So, this time, Zhu Tingyun led a group of elite troops to rush into Awa, the capital of Myanmar.
The deputy general took out the map from the backpack behind him, compared the surrounding scenery with the signs on the map, and then spoke.
"General, we are now less than thirty miles away from Ava!"
Zhu Tingyun heard this and spoke.
"Send the order, and the army will repair on the spot!"
"It is forbidden to light fires to make food. Let's eat cold food for now. After our army conquers Ava, everyone will be rewarded."
"After the repairs are completed, we will launch a surprise attack on Ava tonight tonight!"
If the Ming army wanted to raid Ava, it would be very necessary to prohibit lighting fires for cooking.
Otherwise, the smoke will reveal the presence of the raiding army!
Zhu Tingyun led his army along the way, marching day and night. Almost everyone he met along the way was silenced by them.
It can be described as a bloody storm with countless murders.
They were afraid that the whereabouts of the raiding army would be exposed, causing the plan to fail.
Now, the army finally sneaked into the vicinity of Ava with great difficulty. Zhu Tingyun would never accept it if he was exposed because of the trivial matter of making fire and cooking.
The Ming army led by Zhu Tingyun did not set up camp, but just stationed its horses to rest and recuperate.
Let the war horse eat grass and drink water, and then feed it some concentrated feed such as eggs and beans to replenish its strength.
War horses can eat grass, but they cannot withstand high-intensity battles just by eating grass.
Zhu Tingyun picked up the water bottle at his waist, pulled out the stopper, and took a sip for himself.
The strange-tasting salt-sugar water made him frown slightly, but he still swallowed it.
He picked up a piece of hard compressed dry food from his backpack, broke off a small piece, put it in his mouth, moistened it with saliva, and then began to chew it carefully.
To be honest, the taste of compressed dry food is not very good. Even for people like Zhu Tingyun who have been accustomed to bitter food since childhood, they find it a bit difficult to eat.
However, the salty sugar water and compressed dry food they obtained from the Guangzhou imperial court can really replenish energy and restore physical strength.
Normally, it would definitely not be possible to eat this thing.
But in an emergency, this thing is a top-notch product for replenishing physical strength.
Needless to say, salt and sugar water can replenish the water, electrolytes, etc. needed by the human body.
Military rations made from flour, salt, sugar, dried meat and vegetables, and powdered by dry grinding with egg liquid as a binder, compressed and dried in the sun.
Not to mention the taste, the nutritional value is still very guaranteed.
After everyone had finished eating the dry food in their hands, Zhu Tingyun opened his mouth and gave instructions again.
"Arrange people to take turns on duty, and others will rest immediately to recover their strength as soon as possible."
"Here!"
The soldiers beside him said "Hey" and then went down to make arrangements.
…
It's night, the moon and stars are sparse!
The cold moonlight splashed on the earth, casting a hazy light on the whole world.
Zhu Tingyun opened his eyes, got on his horse, and looked in the direction of Ava.
"Everyone has it, prepare the army for war, and get ready to go!"
Following his shout, the Ming army began to move.
A fierce and elite knight got on his horse and arranged his weapons and clothing.
The saber in his hand was polished to a shine, and the quiver on the horse's back was also filled with bundles of arrows.
In addition, each person also carries a crossbow, grenades and other items on his back, so it can be said that he is fully equipped.
Zhu Tingyun looked back and forgot to take a look at the neat formation of the army, and gave an order.
