Chapter 623: Seal the Wolf as Xu
Liaodong, dozens of miles southeast of Shenyang.
Dozens of fast horses were running in the snowy fields of the forest.
The momentum caused was like thousands of troops galloping among the dense forests.
Bumubutai's fourth brother Manzhu was also mixed with the Ming cavalry. In fact, it was not only Manzhu, but Bumubutai's eldest brother Wu Keshan was also there.
While running, Manzhu Xili subconsciously extended his right hand to his waist.
The next moment, a sharp gaze quickly glared from the side.
It was Wu Keshan who stopped Manzhu's ritual movement with his eyes at the last moment.
"Distract quickly, divide into two teams, and surround left and right!" The Ming army shouted from the front.
Judging from this posture, it should be that the scout cavalry in front had discovered some prey.
Before Wu Keshan could react, the two brothers were wrapped around Ming Jun and separated from each other.
Without Wu Keshan's suppression, Manzhu's heart became ready to move again.
Looking at the young man riding a horse in front of him, Manzhu Xili stretched his hand to his waist again.
With just one arrow, he can shoot and kill this great enemy, Zhu Cijiong, the King of Ding of the Ming Dynasty.
Man Zhu deeply hated Zhu Cijiong, who hated Zhu Cijiong for destroying the Korqin tribe and making him, the royal relative of the Qing Dynasty, become a prisoner. Not only was he forced to change his surname, but he also wanted to hunt like a slave.
Zhu Cijiong was really too much to deceive others, and the Ming Dynasty was really too much to deceive others, which was really unbearable.
However, he touched the golden treasure-inlaid bow hanging around his waist several times, and Manzhu Xili finally gave up. After all, he was not a very courageous Mongolian.
Although he is Yesuge's descendants,
But Manzhu has long lost the martial spirits of his ancestors.
"Bang!" A gunshot suddenly came from the front.
He looked at it quickly, but Zhu Cijiong shot forward while running.
The dozens of Ming troops following behind cheered like tsunamis, shaking the snow on the treetops.
Man Zhu Xili quickly ran to Zhu Cijiong's side, but saw a black blind man lying in the snow. He probably was rushed over by Ming army scouts and fell under Zhu Cijiong's gun.
After seeing the black bear's figure clearly, Manzhu Xili couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
I'm afraid this black bear can be five or six hundred kilograms? I've never seen such a big one.
"Black Blind." Zhu Cijiong turned over and got off the horse, and kicked the black bear. "Skinned and took it back to find a furry to make a bear skin mattress, which was just right for the birthday of his father."
"The bear paws are also put away and given to the father, elder brother and third brother to try."
"As for the remaining bear meat, everyone will share it and have a full meal with wine."
After saying this, Zhu Cijiong turned his eyes to Manzhu Xili again: "Boman, your family has lived in the Korqin grassland for many years. We must know the most outstanding furry on the grassland. We will find one for the orphans another day."
"Ah? Oh." Manzhu Xili finally realized it after a long time.
"Why, aren't you used to it?" Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "This is not possible. You have to get used to it as soon as possible and adapt to your new identity as soon as possible. The surname Borjigit is too difficult to pronounce. It is not conducive to writing and is not easy to remember. It is more appropriate to change it to Bo's surname. Bo Man, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, what is the King of Ding said." Manzhu Xili didn't have the courage to say no.
While speaking, Xu Wuniu ran back from the dense forest ahead, followed by several riders behind him.
"Wu Niu!" Zhu Cijiong asked happily, "Are you found a big insect in the forest ahead?"
"Never." Xu Wuniu said, taking out a letter from his bag, "King Ding, the urgent delivery from Dagukou."
"Urgent delivery from Dagukou?" Zhu Cijiong's expression condensed, and immediately took the letter, took out the dagger and cut the fire paint. He took out the letter and read it quickly at a glance, but his face showed an unconcealed look of excitement.
Xia Wanchun next to him immediately asked with anticipation: "King Ding, did you win the battle?"
Zhu Cijiong didn't say much, but waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go back to the city! Wuniu, don't forget to take the black blind man back to the city, and I want to give it to my father as a bearskin mattress."
Before leaving, I never forgot to make a bearskin mattress for my father.
...
Three days later, outside the north gate of Dengzhou City.
Hu Xinshui and hundreds of village heroes were waiting for it.
Since Shandong Governor Wang Jiayan brought thousands of township brave men to escort a group of military supplies north, Shandong's military and political affairs fell on the shoulders of the Admiral Shandong military affairs Hu Xinshui.
There are rumors that after this Northern Expedition, Wang Jiayan would be transferred back to the capital.
After Wang Jiayan and Gao were promoted back to the capital, Hu Xinshui would definitely be promoted to half of the official position to the governor. By then, he would be considered a real senior official, and he was called a chief official in the border area.
"Military gate, the cavalry has arrived!"
The village man guarding the city suddenly shouted.
"Is that true?" Hu Xinshui hurriedly raised his telescope.
With the help of a telescope, I saw that there were indeed thousands of cavalrymen in the wilderness ahead, sweeping towards Dengzhou City like wind sweeping away the broken clouds.
Looking at the military uniforms and flags, they were the Ming cavalry.
Because only the Ming army's clothing is red.
It was like a flame burning in the wilderness.
As the distance approaches, you can see more clearly.
The Mongolian cavalry, the integrated breastplate, the iconic hat-shaped helmet, and the rifle on the cross-body shoulder, could not even pretend to be a lie.
Six thousand cavalry soon arrived outside Dengzhou City.
The cavalry led by the leader was Hu Guozhu, the acting chief town of the cavalry.
There were originally more than 8,000 cavalrymen in the cavalry town, but only 6,000 cavalrymen came this time.
The cavalry must not be transferred all to Dengzhou, and some of them must be left to serve as scout cavalry.
"Wow." Hu Guozhu gently shouted at the war horse, and saluted Hu Xinshui on the back of the horse, "Father."
"Okay." Hu Xinshui nodded happily, feeling that his son was much more calm than two years ago. It seemed that the emperor had transferred him to the Imperial College for teaching riding skills. Beautiful jade had to be carved to become a weapon.
"Son, did you not encounter Mongolian cavalry along the way?"
"I met, and more than once, I fought several battles and made a small victory."
He shot and killed about a hundred Mongolian cavalry, which was really a slight gain for the cavalry.
The main reason is that the effective range of the flintlock rifle is only eighty steps, and the bumpy horseback makes the hit rate even lower, and the cavalry is fast, so it is difficult to expand the results.
But it doesn't matter, Chongzhen has prepared a sharp weapon for them.
The sharp weapon Chongzhen prepared for the cavalry to defend the Taiwan Strait was the rifled rifle, with a total of 8,000 Type 20 rifles.
Since the practical steam engine entered the Ming Arsenal, the production efficiency of firearms has been greatly improved, and the efficiency of rifling has also been improved, so the number of rifling rifles has been twice as many as Chongzhen expected.
Chongzhen originally planned to use these 8,000 rifles to equip two elite infantry brigades.
However, the plan did not change quickly. Since the Eight Banners Mongolia used its mobility advantages to harass the Ming army's food route, Chongzhen gave the eight thousand rifles to the cavalry so that the cavalry could attack the Eight Banners Mongolia more efficiently.
In addition, Chongzhen also prepared a batch of special paper shell bullets for this batch of rifled rifles.
"Father, where is the Type 20 rifle?" Hu Guozhu couldn't wait.
"No hurry, let's talk about it when King Ding arrives." Hu Xinshui smiled, "King Ding should be coming soon."
When Cao Cao was said, Cao Cao arrived. As soon as Hu Xinshui finished speaking, the village hero on the top of the city shouted again: "Military gate, cavalry are coming on the ice of the North Sea."
"Here you come, it must be King Ding."
Hu Xinshui once again raised his telescope and saw a team of red cavalry coming on the ice.
Against the gray ice surface, the red cotton armor on the cavalry looked particularly bright.
Hu Xinshui couldn't help but remind Hu Guozhu: "Son, although you are the chief town of the cavalry and King Ding is only the deputy chief town, you can't really regard yourself as the chief minister of King Ding."
"Don't worry, my father knows how to get along with King Ding."
Hu Guozhu looked at another Ming cavalry who was walking on the ice and said with a slight : "No matter what, King Ding is the king, and his son is just a minister. The state has national laws and military rules. The son will not disrupt the etiquette between the king and the minister."
"It's good to know, it's good to know." Hu Xinshui comforted her son, who had really grown up.
Nowadays, Hu Xinshui no longer has any illusions about the golden family.
Hu Xinshui felt that being able to meet a kind emperor like Chongzhen was a blessing for the people and even more of the ministers, so staying in the Ming Dynasty as a high official and a rich man was far better than being a great sweat in the bitter and cold places in the desert in the past.
"Son, Duoduo made contributions to the country. Dad is old, it depends entirely on you to shine the Hu family."
"Dad, don't worry." Hu Guozhu said, "One day my son will also seal the wolf's servant."
...
Hu Guozhu is not the only one who has the ideal of sealing the wolf Juxu, but Zhu Cijiong also wants to seal the wolf Juxu.
Several miles away, Zhu Cijiong asked Xia Wanchun and said, "Brother Duan, what is your life ideal?"
"Life ideal?" Xia Wanchun said thoughtfully, "If it were five years ago, it would definitely be the king's life to fight against the enemy. But now Jiannu has become increasingly weak, and pseudo-pass is just a mustard moss disease. It is a matter of time before it is wiped out. Therefore, the king's life to fight against the enemy can definitely not be used as a life ideal, and we have to find a new ideal."
"Is this necessary to find it? The ideal of an orphan person has never changed."
Zhu Cijiong reached out to the north, and then said domineeringly: "The ideal of a lonely person is to seal the wolf Juxu, and lead my Ming Iron Cavalry to fight the Onon River and to the North Pole that even Master Cheng had never been to!"
"After the road that the Mongols walked, they reached the land of Taixi."
"The father said that there is a wider land from the Western Regions to the west."
"There are Junggars, Kazakhs, oh, what other Ottoman Empire."
"There are Europa countries further west, and there are Tsarist Russia further north."
Speaking of this, he said loudly: "One day, I will make these countries surrender under the imperial flag of the Ming Dynasty, respect Confucianism, learn Chinese, and speak the Ming Dynasty's official language."
After a few words, Xia Wanchun's blood was boiling.
At this moment, Xia Wanchun said passionately: "Then my life ideal of Xia Wanchun is to follow King Ding and help King Ding realize this grand life ideal."
