On a hot air balloon flying high in the sky, two Ming soldiers were wearing thick cotton coats and thick cotton gloves, looking towards the north.
Even though it is summer, the climate at high altitude is not considered warm, so you need to wear thicker clothes to avoid catching a cold.
They also held telescopes in their hands, allowing them to see scenery miles away directly in front of their eyes.
Lin Yuan was chewing a piece of dried meat in his mouth, and the salt on the dried meat exploded in his mouth.
Strips of meat were torn off with the teeth, then chewed and swallowed.
He looked in the north direction without blinking. After a long time, his eyes became sore.
"I can't, I can't, my eyes are really sore, please come and stand in for me for a while!"
Lin Yuan looked away, rubbed his sore eyes, and said to Pao Ze beside him.
When Su Dawei heard this, he did not refuse, picked up the telescope and looked to the north.
"Hey, do you think this Mongolian will really come to Zhangjiakou to seek death?"
"If they dare to challenge my Ming Dynasty at this time, do they really have no idea about their own strength?"
Lin Yuan said while rubbing his cheeks that were flushed by the wind.
He exhaled a heavy breath, which greatly relieved his physical fatigue.
The temperature in the sky is not much lower than it is on the ground.
However, the wind in the sky is too strong, and it keeps blowing, making people feel that the sky is very cold.
Su Dawei, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help curling his lips when he heard this.
He spoke.
"I don't know, but it should come!"
"It is said that the information this time was sent back from the grassland by the Jin Yiwei. There should be no mistake!"
"These Mongolians are provoking the Ming Dynasty at this time, maybe they are distracted!"
Lin Yuan sighed and said.
"Hey, it means that our Ming Dynasty does not have enough troops now. Otherwise, according to His Majesty's temperament, he will definitely go out to the north to conquer the grassland."
"When the time comes, I will definitely go out with the army and attack the Tartars in the north!"
The heavy snow covers the bow and sword, and the Khan escapes at night. This is the romance of a man!
Today's Ming Dynasty is warlike from top to bottom!
Su Dawei said nothing more, but his eyes were full of eagerness and expectation.
Suddenly, at this moment, the expression on Su Dawei's face changed instantly, and at the end of his line of sight, some black spots that resembled a lake appeared.
Looking closely, there seemed to be scattered cavalry galloping on the grassland.
Su Dawei picked up the telescope and looked over there. He saw a group of six or seven Ming army elite cavalry chasing and fighting with the Mongolians who were ten times his number.
…
Lu Li lowered his body and pressed tightly against the horse's back.
He held the reins with one hand and the bow and arrow with the other. His strong thighs tightly clamped the horse's belly to ensure his balance. His body swayed up and down with the movements of the horse.
And most of the robes around him also acted like this.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of arrows breaking through the air kept ringing out, and one arrow after another passed over his head.
A few arrows even fell on them from time to time!
The arrow missed and hit the stomach of the armor, making a clanging sound.
Fortunately, they all wore armor, and the bows and arrows used by the Mongols were basically hunting bows, which lacked armor-breaking capabilities.
That’s why it didn’t cause any harm to them!
Looking in the direction of Zhangjiakou Fort not far away, Lu Li took a deep breath, calmed his mind, gritted his teeth and straightened up from his horse.
Bend the bow, set the arrow, and turn around to send the string, all in one go!
There was a crash, the bowstring trembled, and an arrow flew away like a meteor.
With a pop, the arrow missed and hit a Mongolian cavalryman in the chest.
It penetrated the chest of this Mongolian cavalry directly, and the sharp arrow came out from behind.
The leather armor worn by this Mongolian cavalry had little protection against real hard bows and heavy arrows.
At the same time, several arrows were shot towards the landing force.
The tinkling sound is endless!
Although several arrows hit Lu Li's chest one after another, he only felt a slight pain and could hardly penetrate the armor.
As an elite scout in the Ming army, Lu Li was equipped with better equipment than ordinary Ming soldiers.
Just a set of breastplates made of fine steel cannot break through the defenses of the bows and arrows used by the Mongols!
The Ming army was able to pursue and fight the Mongolian cavalry on the grasslands with inferior strength.
What they rely on, in addition to their excellent military skills developed through daily high-intensity training, is their luxurious weapons.
The Mongolian scimitars, bows and arrows could not break through the Ming army's defense, but the Ming army's attacks were fatal to the Mongols.
The counterattack of six or seven Ming army elite cavalry was sharp!
After the sound of trembling bowstrings, there were bursts of screams.
Several Mongolian cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another, with arrows belonging to the Ming army stuck in their bodies.
Lu Li looked at the Zhangjiakou Fort not far ahead, his chest heaving violently, and he shouted filial piety.
"Brothers, work harder, Zhangjiakou is ahead!"
"It will be safe when you return to the city!"
"..."
The Mongols behind them were still pursuing them.
From time to time, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, shooting at the Ming cavalry.
Although the Ming army cavalry wore armor, the horses under their crotches did not wear armor.
If an arrow misses and hits a war horse, the horse will also suffer pain!
But again, fortunately, the Mongolian hunting bows were not powerful, and the arrows they shot were not fatal to the thick-skinned war horses.
If the bows and arrows used by the Mongols were the hard bows used by the Qing army, the Ming army's cavalry would have been unable to fight for such a long time against an enemy ten times their number!
Even if their armor and stomach are strong, there is nothing they can do if the enemy shoots the horse.
…
Lin Yuan and Su Dawei on the hot air balloon saw the scene in the distance, and the next moment, they sounded the alarm below.
The red signal smoke was lit, which was quite conspicuous in the sky!
The Ming army on duty below noticed the warning from the sky, and the next moment, the piercing siren sounded throughout Zhangjiakou City.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"The enemy is coming, all prepare for war!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "..."
Amidst the piercing sirens, a soldier named Ming came to his combat post and started preparations for the battle.
In the city, as the enemy attack was confirmed, some panic arose.
The young and strong men in the city were organized and made preparations for the war.
Many people hold swords and guns in their hands, their palms are covered with sweat, and their lips are extremely dry.
Wei Wu stood at the top of the city, looking at the distant horizon with a calm expression.
He has been in the army for several years and has worked hard all the way to his current position. It can be said that he has rich war experience.
Qing army, red hair, local bandits, he has seen many enemies!
He had also experienced several large-scale decisive battles between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Although the situation in front of him was critical, he was not afraid.
Because to him, everything in front of him is just a small scene!
Patting the shoulder of an obviously nervous recruit next to him, Wei Wu imitated the tone of the veteran who once comforted him and spoke to the recruit.
"Look at the armor on your body, and then touch the sword and gun in your hand!"
"Nothing to be afraid of!"
"The bows and arrows used by those Mongolian Tatars can't hurt you!!"
The recruit swallowed nervously, but after hearing Wei Wu's comfort, he subconsciously raised his chest and raised his head.
"Report to the captain, I'm not afraid!"
"I came out to serve as a soldier, and my family received a piece of land from the imperial court. I can't be a coward!"
One new soldier, twenty acres of land to settle down!
This number is not small!
In the eyes of many simple farm men, these twenty acres of land are considered as buying their lives for the imperial court!
It's worth dying for these twenty acres of land!
Wei Wu laughed and spoke to comfort him.
"Why, for such a big man, all he has eyes for is the twenty acres of Anjia farmland?"
"Building meritorious services and finding a wife to support your children are what a man should pursue!"
"Look at the vast grassland in the north, which is where a man should shed his blood!"
The recruit raised his chest and raised his head, his face flushed, and he spoke.
"yes!"
"I understand!"
"We must make great contributions and serve the Ming Dynasty!"
Wei Wu nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad!"
"What a good man!"
…
Outside the city, the Ming army's sentries are getting closer and closer to Zhangjiakou!
And the Mongolian cavalry is still pursuing hard!
The war horses galloped and neighed, and the knights on the horses kept screaming strangely.
An arrow misses like a shooting star chasing the moon, and a scimitar shines like snow and frost!
The elite sentries of the Ming army were still fighting back hard, even though their arms were sore, they kept throwing arrows away one after another.
The bow string is like the full moon, and the sound is endless!
Boom! Boom!
The city defense artillery deployed in Zhangjiakou Fort was ignited and made a roar.
Suddenly bursts of smoke rose from the top of the city, and cannonballs were fired towards the outside of the city.
The shells landed on the ground, rolled and rotated, and splashed earth and rocks on the ground, as if to warn the pursuing Mongolian cavalry that you have entered our artillery range.
Lu Li took a deep breath, and felt a heartbreaking pain in his right rib.
After all, an arrow broke through his defense, penetrated through the gap between the armor and stomach, and hit his ribs.
The flesh was torn apart by sharp arrows, and blood kept coming out.
The clothes on his body were stained red!
At the same time, after a fierce chase, only four people were left in Paoze beside him.
Along the way, while they were causing casualties to the Mongols, the Mongols' counterattacks were also gradually effective.
Two Ming army sentries fell off their horses and died in battle one after another!
At this moment, with a creak, the gate of Zhangjiakou Fort was opened.
A group of thirty Ming army cavalry galloped out of the city. Their red armor shone brightly. When they were combined together and charged in formation, they were as dazzling as rushing flames.
"Kill, break the formation!"
These thirty Ming troops formed a charging front guard formation, with one person as the front guard and flanked by the rest of the cavalry who were a few steps behind.
The first few were armed with spears for breaking formations, while the remaining cavalrymen fought with sabers.
The spear is pointed forward, and the sharp saber is leaning against the chest!
In the formation, there is an archer holding a bow and arrow.
Before the cavalry of both sides engage in battle, these archers will shoot a wave of arrows and suppress them with firepower.
Facing fifty or sixty Mongolian cavalry, the Ming army boldly took the initiative and launched a charge.
At this time, the Ming army was not timid. In their eyes, these Mongolians were just walking warriors!
Of course, the reason why the Ming army dared to take the initiative to attack was also related to the fact that the main force of the Mongols was far away from Zhangjiakou.
Seeing the elite cavalry of the Ming army coming out of the city to fight, the Mongolian centurion leading the team blew a whistle and ordered his own cavalry to form a formation and prepare for the battle.
The next moment, the cavalry from both sides rushed past!
The arrow missed and shot!
The spear pierces the human body, and the sharp saber, supported by the speed of the war horse, can even cut the enemy's body in half.
The cavalry from both sides rushed past each other, and in the next moment, the outcome was decided!
Four Ming cavalrymen fell off their horses, but nearly twenty Mongolians fell off their horses, and the formation was also broken into pieces.
After the Mongols, who suffered heavy losses, passed by each other, they ignored the shock and fear, turned around and left, no longer daring to have any nostalgia.
At this time, these Mongolian cavalry realized that the enemy they were facing now was not the Ming army whose combat power had seriously declined in the late Ming Dynasty.
It's the new army of the Ming Dynasty that is at its peak combat power!
The gap between the two sides is not that big!
The Ming army was also afraid of the main Mongolian army. After destroying the enemy army and cleaning the battlefield, they chose to retreat instead of continuing to pursue.
There were sounds of horse hooves on the battlefield, but it could not hide the cheers coming from the walls of Zhangjiakou Fort!
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"..."
…
After Lu Li briefly treated his injuries, he was summoned to Wei Wu.
Wei Wu stood at the top of the city, wearing armor and stomach, standing with his hands behind his hands, looking in the north direction, and couldn't help but ask.
"How is the situation on the grassland? How many Tartar cavalry are invading this time? Which forces do they belong to?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Li's face turned slightly pale due to excessive blood loss.
But when faced with Wei Wu's inquiry, he spoke in a very calm tone.
"Reporting to the commander of the regiment, according to the investigation of our army's sentry cavalry, there are approximately 20,000 Mongolian cavalry invading this time!"
"The leaders are Burni, the grandson of Lindan Khan, and Burni's Daluobuzang, as well as a group of noble princes from the Khalkha tribes."
When Wei Wu heard this, he nodded slightly.
"That's enough, you can go down and rest, and recover from your injuries!"
After saying this, he turned his head and continued to look north, his eyes becoming more solemn.
Twenty thousand people, that’s a whole twenty thousand people!
Even if the Mongols are not good at attacking cities, those 20,000 people are still a big threat to Zhangjiakou.
After all, Zhangjiakou is just a trading point, not a specialized war fortress.
Although the protective ability is there, it is not too strong!
And, more importantly, Zhangjiakou's defenders only numbered a thousand men, and the strength gap between the two sides reached an astonishing twenty to one!
Even if the young and strong civilians who were temporarily recruited in the city were included, the Ming side would not have an advantage in this battle.
I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to win!
Wei Wu turned to his adjutant and ordered.
"Send someone to ask Xuanda for help!"
"What I didn't expect was 20,000 Mongolian cavalry. Zhangjiakou may be really in danger this time!"
"..."
…
On the other side, the Mongolian cavalry who were defeated by the Ming army outside Zhangjiakou City galloped back to their own army.
The centurion who led the team came to Burni and reported to Burni the situation of the battle outside Zhangjiakou City.
After Burni heard that his side was defeated due to superior force, a look of ferocity suddenly flashed across his face, and he swung the whip at the centurion mercilessly.
With a snap, the whip struck the centurion's face mercilessly.
This whip almost blew out the centurion's eyeballs, leaving a trail of blood on the centurion's face, and the blood oozed out.
Burni scolded with a tone full of anger.
"Waste, what a waste!"
"Seventy or eighty people captured ten Ming army sentries and allowed half of them to run away. Twenty or thirty people died during the pursuit. The remaining fifty or sixty people fought against thirty Ming army and were beaten to pieces!
"
"Trash, just complete trash!"
"My great Mongolian face will be completely disgraced by you bunch of trash!"
Burni is quite annoyed now!
In the first battle, he was dealt a head-on blow by the Ming army. Could he still have any hope for this battle?
The centurion knelt in front of Burni's horse and did not dare to refute.
He could only bear Burney's anger silently.
Finally, Burni finished venting, took a deep breath, threw the whip in his hand on the ground, snorted coldly, and said.
"Send the order and the army will set off immediately!"
"This Khan will flatten Zhangjiakou and kill all the Han people in Zhangjiakou City!"
"..."
Everyone around them clasped their fists and accepted the order. The flag of the Mongolian central army changed and countless cavalry roared into action.
Twenty thousand Mongolian cavalry appeared on the grassland, and the scene was nothing short of continuous.
Countless cavalry are like a black tide, crushing towards the front!
…
The Mongolian cavalry led by Burni finally appeared outside Zhangjiakou Fort.
Once there are more than 10,000 people, there are no boundaries, let alone 20,000 cavalry!
The movement of 20,000 cavalry galloping was simply terrifying.
It seemed that any matter would turn into dust in front of these 20,000 cavalry.
Looking at the extremely spectacular scene outside the city, the Ming troops defending the city were a little nervous.
However, the morale of the Ming army did not collapse. Facing the roaring Mongolian cavalry outside the city, the Ming army was still brave enough to fight.
After all, Zhu Hongyu’s Anjiadao was not given for free!
Even if it is to settle their land, these Ming army soldiers will persist in fighting until the last moment.
The Ming army's military laws were strict. If someone deserted, the court would take back Anjia's land and the treatment of military dependents.
That’s twenty acres of fertile land!
For many soldiers, even if they died in battle, they would not be able to part with the twenty acres of land.
Not to mention that if they died fighting for the country, their families would receive a more generous pension, which would also include a sizeable military merit field.
Many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty felt from the bottom of their hearts that the emperor treated them Qiu Ba so well, so why not die in battle?
Wei Wu stood next to a city defense gun, estimated the distance between the Mongolian military formation outside the city and Zhangjiakou Fort, and squinted his eyes to calculate.
"Well, we can almost hit it!"
Wei Wuneng was promoted to regimental commander. Before that, he also studied in a military academy.
The military schools of the Ming Dynasty taught relatively complicated things, such as infantry command, cavalry command, artillery command, coordinated operations among the services, and military ideological construction...
Wei Wuneng graduated from the military academy, and his overall qualities are not bad.
Although he is not particularly proficient in gunnery, he is still at the pass level.
He was well aware of the specific performance of the various artillery currently equipped by the Ming Dynasty.
With a rough estimate, you can determine whether the Ming army's city defense artillery can hit it!
"Get ready for a volley of powerful charges!"
"Aim at the Mongolian flag and hit it!"
"If I can interrupt the Mongolian flag, I will personally go to the higher authorities to ask for credit for my brothers!"
Wei Wu gave instructions to the artillery commander beside him.
The artillery commander accepted the order with clasped fists, and then ordered preparations for the artillery bombardment.
There are actually not many artillery pieces in Zhangjiakou Fort. Even if the city defense artillery and field artillery are added together, the number is only more than 30.
Boom! Boom!
The next moment, more than thirty artillery pieces of the Ming army opened fire together.
Thick clouds of gunpowder smoke rose from the top of the city of Zhangjiakou, and the cannonballs came out one after another, carrying the gunpowder smoke and firelight, and headed towards the great banner of Burni.
Boom!
Boom!
The roar of artillery fire echoed throughout the battlefield.
Artillery shells fell into the Mongolian array mercilessly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The cannonballs rolled and rotated, releasing their kinetic energy to their heart's content.
Earth and rocks flew wherever the cannonball passed, and all the horses and human bodies that blocked the path of the cannonball were smashed into pieces.
Broken limbs and broken arms are flying, and blood is splashing everywhere!
Cannonballs harvest lives unscrupulously!
Screams and wails sounded one after another!
Under the bombardment of the Ming army, although the Mongols were originally huge, their chaotic array instantly broke out into even greater chaos.
The people shouted and the horses neighed endlessly, and the war horses looked up to the sky and neighed.
Burney sat astride his horse and watched with his own eyes as a cannonball passed by him, and several of his timid guards were smashed into pieces by the cannonball.
Blood, minced flesh, and broken human internal organs were all over his face!
Burni tried his best to comfort the war horse on his crotch, stretched out his hand and wiped the smelly sticky substance on his face, his chest heaved violently, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Almost, just almost, the Ming army's artillery shells hit him!
Fear brewed in Burni's chest, but after the extreme fear, waves of unspeakable anger surged up.
"Ah! Ah! Damn Ming thief!"
"Damn the thief!"
"..."
Burney yelled angrily, his eyes splitting.
ordered.
"Send the order to the entire army to attack the city and capture Zhangjiakou for this Khan!"
Following Burni's military order, the Mongols launched an attack on Zhangjiakou.
A large, dark mass of Mongolians pushed siege equipment such as ladders and shield carts towards Zhangjiakou.
The Mongols were not good at sieging cities, but this did not mean that they would not attack cities.
The simplest thing is to use human lives to pile them up, and they will still do it.
Before the march arrived at Zhangjiakou, Burni ordered the army to rush to make a batch of siege equipment.
"kill!"
"Conquer Zhangjiakou without sealing the sword for three days!"
"Long live the Khan!"
"..."
Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, countless Mongolians surged toward Zhangjiakou in a dark and dense manner.
Woohoo! Woohoo!
The low sound of the trumpet resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Zhangjiakou garrison shouted in unison.
"Prepare for war, prepare for war!"
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Boom! Boom!
The deafening sound of artillery shelling sounded, and shells poured out firepower wantonly at the Mongols who were coming towards Zhangjiakou.
Boom! Boom!
The explosive bomb landed in the Mongolian array, the fuse burned out, exploded, and the roar continued!
The fire envelops the smoke and debris, raging randomly in the sandy sky.
Easily taking away lives one by one, turning each Mongolian into a broken body with broken limbs.
Master of explosive shells, solid shell shooting equipment!
The Ming army's city defense artillery roared incessantly.
Solid artillery shells poured out firepower towards the siege equipment, and the shells hit a siege vehicle.
In an instant, the siege vehicle disintegrated amidst a roar and turned into a sky full of broken wood.
The Mongols continued to move forward. They pushed the shield cart and approached Zhangjiakou. Archers hid behind the shield cart and rained arrows towards the city.
Bang! Bang Bang! Bang Bang Bang!
Amidst the trembling sound of bowstrings, countless arrows flew into the air and shot towards the Ming army on the city wall.
The thrown arrow has insufficient armor-piercing ability. After being nailed to the stomach of the armor, it cannot penetrate the armor at all.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of musket shooting sounded one after another.
The Ming army's musketeers kept firing downwards from the top of the city. The dense projectiles formed a barrage and enveloped the enemy.
Each of the Mongolians whose vision was exposed exploded with blood sprays on their bodies.
After the lead bullets hit their bodies, they spun and rolled, mincing their skin, flesh and bones to pieces.
Not long after, the city walls of Zhangjiakou were filled with corpses in various forms of death!
However, even so, the Mongolian offensive continued.
Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, countless Mongolians rushed towards Zhangjiakou like a tide.
The Mongols, who had an absolute military advantage, kept charging forward one after another, hoping to capture Zhangjiakou.
Hand grenades were thrown from the top of the city to the bottom of the city!
Amidst the rumbling explosions, fragments and fire raged, and balls of blood exploded.
…
Just when a fierce battle was taking place in Zhangjiakou, the Ming army, which announced its general direction, also received a letter asking for help from Zhangjiakou.
The news of the attack of 20,000 Mongolian cavalry made everyone's expressions change.
Xuanfu and Datong made almost the same choice!
On the one hand, he sent a message to Nanjing and asked the court for a decision. On the other hand, he sent people to Zhangjiakou to prepare for reinforcements in the Zhangjiakou war.
At the same time, news of the outbreak of war in Zhangjiakou continued to spread southward as if it had wings.
After the news arrived in Yanjing, it was transferred to Nanjing by telegraph.
The current telegraph network in the Ming Dynasty has not yet been completely established and perfected, especially in the newly attached Beidi, and even some provincial capitals have not yet been able to receive telegraph connections.
[The book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years is the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. huanyuanapp ]
However, Yanjing, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, connected the telegram early!
With the advent of the telegraph, the speed of message transmission was simply unparalleled.
…
In Nanjing, in midsummer, even at night, it is difficult to hide the heat in the air.
There is an ice basin in the palace, and the cool air is evaporating, making the entire palace cool.
Zhu Hongyu is very good at enjoying life.
Although he doesn't like extravagance and waste, he won't treat himself badly when he should enjoy it.
With the beauty in his arms, Zhu Hongyu didn't feel sleepy after a burst of clouds and rain.
He is still thinking about things!
In recent times, with Zhu Hongyu's purge of local areas, the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty's New Deal has been significantly improved.
The court's control over the local area is not a little bit stronger!
The local government has truly implemented its policies and orders, and no one dares to disobey them.
The war in Liaodong was also going quite smoothly. Success reports were delivered back to Nanjing one after another, and the lost territory was continuously recovered, which made the whole world excited.
For Zhu Hongyu, this is all very satisfying.
The only thing that made him feel a little unhappy was the crying palace of the Joseon Crown Prince!
The Prince of Korea's troubles in Nanjing made Zhu Hongyu, the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty, quite lose face.
However, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongyu could not directly order the punishment of the North Korean prince who caused trouble for him.
We can only ignore him and simply treat him as if he is not a person!
Thinking about these messy things, Zhu Hongyu gradually became sleepy and then fell into a deep sleep.
Late at night, at three o'clock in the morning, a series of footsteps sounded outside the palace.
A personal eunuch of Zhu Hongyu came to Zhu Hongyu and called out softly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up!"
"His Majesty!"
This personal eunuch woke Zhu Hongyu from his deep sleep.
Zhu Hongyu opened his eyes, but he was not annoyed or angry. He just rubbed his eyebrows, sat up and asked.
"What happened?"
The ice basin in the palace has melted away, but the air at this time is no longer as hot as the first half of the night.
Zhu Hongyu lifted the brocade quilt on his body, and his upper body was naked. His streamlined muscles were exposed to the air, which was quite conspicuous.
The personal eunuch delivered a military newspaper with vermilion paint to Zhu Hongyu and said.
"Your Majesty, this is the news sent back by telegram from Yanjing!"
"Zhangjiakou was attacked..."
When Zhu Hongyu heard this, he took a breath of air and opened the memorial to read.
When he saw Burni raising his troops to attack Zhangjiakou, his face suddenly fell.
"How many defenders are there in Zhangjiakou?"
Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but ask.
The invasion of 20,000 Mongolian cavalry was considered a considerable force anyway.
If Zhangjiakou does not have enough troops, it will be dangerous!
The personal eunuch shook his head and said he didn't know.
Zhu Hongyu patted his head and said to himself that he was also in a daze, so it was better to ask the staff about this kind of thing.
How could a slave who serves him personally know such things about military affairs?
Zhu Hongyu stopped asking questions, and instead frowned and thought deeply about the matter.
Finally, he gave the order.
"Send the order and summon all the ministers of the cabinet to hold a meeting!"
"Discuss how to deal with the Mongolian cavalry's invasion of the Ming Dynasty!"
When talking, Zhu Hongyu's face never looked good.
Zhu Hongyu is now ready to kill Burney's whole family.
I haven't even started the Northern Expedition to the grasslands yet, and the Mongols have done this to me.
Isn't this a slap in Zhu Hongyu's face?
How can you bear this?
…
In the Forbidden City at night, everything is dark.
On the road, a walking stick that could be carried by eight people headed all the way to the imperial study.
In front of the procession, two chamberlains held lanterns to illuminate the sedan!
On both sides of the road, a soldier of the imperial guard stood upright, with a body as tall as a pine tree, paying attention to their emperor.
Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry guard the safety of the imperial city very dedicatedly!
Of course, these guards will only appear in the imperial city, responsible for the security of the imperial city, and will not enter the harem and the Forbidden City.
The only man who could enter the Forbidden City was the emperor himself.
Zhu Hongyu sat upright on the pedestal, frowning and thinking deeply about the Ming Dynasty's troop deployment in northern Xinjiang.
If Zhangjiakou was in emergency, how would the Ming Dynasty mobilize troops for reinforcements?
Of course, Zhu Hongyu is more concerned about when the Ming Dynasty will launch the Northern Expedition to retaliate and fuck Burney!
If he could swallow this breath, Zhu Hongyu would no longer be Zhu Hongyu!
