Outside Datong Nanguan City, Datong Governor Zhang Yiming, Datong General Soldier Man Gui, Datong Ma Jiajiang, several old men of Ma Jiajiang, as well as the hereditary military attache of Datong Eight Guards who stayed in Datong City, and of course the distinguished

The incomparable Dai Wang Zhu Dingwei, and several branch princes of Dai Wangfu such as Guangling King, Shanyin King, Hechuan King, Zaoqiang King, Lechang King, Jiyang King, Fuchuan King, Yongqing King, etc.

There is a group of generals who can take a look at the country, the generals who support the country, and the generals who serve the country. They are all python-robed and black, arranged neatly according to their superiority and inferiority, and they are just waiting anxiously.

They are waiting for the Emperor of Tomorrow who will lead the army in person!

Logically speaking, the emperor's personal expedition should be an extremely inspiring thing. Datong is a military city, and most of the prominent people in the city are related to military affairs.

Even the generals who govern the country, the generals who assist the country, and the generals who serve the country, don't they all have the title of general? According to the intention of the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, these "generals" have a salary of 600 to 1,000 stones.

, he should be a knight under the command of King Dai, right? This time, the Emperor of Heaven personally went into battle! Even if these "generals" cannot go into battle to kill thieves, they should still show a bit of high morale. But these generals and

Why are all the princes above, including the acting king Zhu Dingwei, who are old and in poor health, so uneasy?

Not only is Huang Guizhou restless these days, but Datong Governor Zhang Yiming and Datong General Soldier Man Gui, the two biggest civil and military leaders in Datong Town, are also a little restless!

And the restlessness and uneasiness of these people are actually not without reason. The emperor's personal expedition was certainly a good thing that the border town military generals could not wish for until the beginning of the country... At that time, the emperor was

Immediately the emperor, the officials are heroes and fierce generals, even the guards officers below, all of them are warriors who came out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

At that time, when the emperor personally went to war, it was the time for great achievements to be made!

But it’s not the beginning of the country anymore... The country is suffering from internal and external troubles, the border towns are in turmoil, the border troops are destitute of food and clothing, and the emperor has grown up in a deep palace, raised by women, and is young. What?

It's just a child's play to have the imperial chariot go on a personal expedition!

This is even more ridiculous than the personal conquests of Yingmiao and Wumiao. Yingmiao was already 23 years old during the Tumubao Incident, and Wumiao was already 27 years old during the Yingzhou War.

But today's young emperor is only 18 years old...still a young man!

This time it’s the child emperor playing war!

Moreover, this child emperor has no sons or brothers. If this is lost, who will be the emperor? In order of priority, the fat king Zhu Changxun, the King of Fortune, should be the emperor! The dispute over the foundation of the Wanli Kingdom that revolved around him and Guangmiao

But there had been an uproar... Thinking of this, Man Gui and Zhang Yiming could only sigh - no matter how many struggles between Donglin and the eunuchs in the court around the birth of the new king, they both bear the blame.

It’s settled!

Just when a large group of people were dejected and complaining in their hearts, they saw a dozen of the fast horses sent out to greet them rushing over at speed. The leader was none other than Datong Town Standard Counselor Fang Shekun, who was riding in the distance.

He shouted to Zhang Yiming and Man Gui: "Long live the Lord is here, Long live the Lord is here!"

The civil servants, military officers and nobles of Datong Town, who were getting a little anxious while waiting, let out a low roar, involuntarily began to adjust their clothes and robes, and then began to crane their necks to look around.

Then they saw the smoke and dust filling the sky, and heard the rumbling sound...ah! The momentum of the arrival of the Long Live Lord was really amazing!

Man Gui, who was waiting there solemnly, changed his expression. He knew that the low roar was caused by the horse's hooves stepping on the ground. Because it was too dense, it was connected together. Man Gui, who was standing on the ground, was stunned at this time.

I felt the earth trembling slightly... It was really a cavalry of more than ten thousand men and two horses!

Mangui took a deep breath, straightened her body, stretched her neck, and began to look south.

I don’t know how long it took, but just as the thunderous hoofbeats became louder and louder, and the trembling of the earth became more and more violent, yellow dragon flags finally appeared on the horizon, not just one, but twelve. This

It was the emperor's banner, fluttering in the wind, and rolling, and then there was a field of jumping spear points with cold light - this was the iron cavalry charging with their spears, carrying their carbines cross-body on their backs.

Man Gui's face changed again, from fear to surprise.

Because he had already discovered that the formation of the emperor's servants approaching him was very strict! They formed a group of hundreds of horsemen, forming five columns one after another, moving at a brisk pace on the official road.

With such speed, such formation, and such strictness, an expert like Mangui would know that these cavalrymen have undergone rigorous and concentrated training for quite a period of time.

It does look very impressive!

I just don’t know how their martial arts are? They don’t look like they can only queue up but can’t fight!

It is not surprising that Man Gui had such an idea, because although the servants of the Ming Dynasty border commanders could ride horses into battle, they were essentially a group of feudal warriors who relied on their personal prowess to fight. They would not form a large army with hundreds or thousands of riders.

We can't attack in formation, let alone dispatch 10,000 cavalry at a time - there is no such thing as a side commander with 10,000 servants!

Since the emergence of the servant system, Li Chengliang had the largest number of servants. In his heyday, he had less than 5,000 servants. And these 5,000 servants rarely had the opportunity to gather in one place. They had to fight everywhere.

!In other words, when we sent troops to Korea, more than 3,000 people went there at one time.

After the decline of the two major frontier army groups of East, Li and Xima, "big generals" such as Mangui, Zu Dashou, and Zhao Shujiao only had more than a thousand servants in the sky, and there were no soldiers from Xima and Dongli.

The servants are so elite.

Xi Madong and Li are both side generals who have been rising for many years. They have been in charge of one side for a long time and have a lot of time to take care of their own servant groups.

However, Man Gui, Zu Dashou, and Zhao Shujiao have not been around for a long time. They were all promoted from junior military attachés to general soldiers during the Tianqi years, so their retainers are somewhat weak.

When Mangui was wondering whether these emperor's servants were embroidering pillows, the cavalry group was already approaching Datong Nanguan Castle.

The first few hundred knights in golden armor who appeared were all grown-up men, neatly dressed and wearing long golden armor. When exposed to the sun, the reflected golden light would be blinding.

The formation of these hundreds of knights is also very orderly, and they can change formations while marching. While moving forward quickly, they slowly spread out, and the five columns turned into three horizontal columns - two of the horizontal columns are relatively long, consisting of

It is composed of two columns. One horizontal column is shorter and is transformed from one column.

The three horizontal lines in front and back, like three walls of knights, were displayed in front of Man Gui, Zhang Yiming and others, and then stopped moving forward.

I have to say, this ability to change formations is really eye-opening!

At this time, the formation of these knights in golden armor changed again. The two rows in front split in the middle and became four teams. They moved to the left and right to make way for a passage. Then they saw more than a hundred knights in golden armor, surrounded by ten

Two triangular dragon flags poured out from this passage and arrived in front of Man Gui, Zhang Yiming and others.

In the center of the twelve dragon flags is a young man with a golden helmet and a tall horse. He is none other than Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

Man Gui and Zhang Yiming had both gone to Beijing to report on their duties, and had seen this Long Live Lord in the Wenhua Hall. Of course they recognized him at a glance now, and quickly led a group of prominent figures in Datong Town to kneel down and kowtow, shouting Long Live the Mountain.

Zhu Youjian seems to be in a very good mood today, with a smile on his face. Because his cavalry in front of the tent came out of the Nanhaizi camp outside Beijing and performed quite well along the way. The 600-mile journey took only a few days.

It was over, not many people were left behind, and the marching discipline was quite good. In fact, many states and counties along the way did not find any soldiers crossing the border!

This is the real King Master! With such a King Master, are you afraid that you won’t be able to beat the running back Khan who inserts himself into the Han tribe?

He looked at Man Gui, Zhang Yiming, and a bunch of unknown high-ranking officials who were greeting him. They must all be generals of the Datong Army, so he smiled and nodded, "Tingshen, let's all be flat!"

Seeing Man Gui getting up from the ground, Zhu Youjian asked again: "Man Gui, has the Hutu Dun who was inserted into the Han department not escaped yet?"

"Ah, not yet..." Man Gui replied, but in his heart he thought: Why did he run away with his army of 100,000 people?
