1011 This is how a man should be
"What? No one from the north?" Two days later, the middle-aged man was shocked when he heard his subordinate's report and asked a little disbelief: "Did you say no businessman comes or say..."
Before he could finish his words, his subordinates quickly reported: "The people who entered and exited the north gate were mostly those who worked outside the city. The villain had been watching the city gate for a day today, and there was no one coming from the official road in the north!"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man could no longer sit still. He turned to look at the sky and immediately stood up and walked out. This situation was very strange. He had to verify it himself, otherwise he would be afraid that he would not be able to take it or take it if he disturbed the adults rashly.
As his identity, although we are not favored by the cave, we can still go up to the city.
After reaching the city, he carefully looked at everything outside the city. At this time, it was already evening, and the sunset was hanging red in the west sky, sprinkling a layer of blood on the earth, no, it was red.
The middle-aged man corrected his thoughts and saw that the farmers outside the city were returning to the city in groups in groups.
Hey, it seems wrong! The middle-aged man suddenly discovered something and quickly looked at the farmer coming in groups.
He paid more attention to farming, so he immediately realized something was wrong. Most of the farmers outside the city were Han slaves, who were either working or working all day long. They didn’t have the intention to be in groups and be companions. At most two or three people belonged to the family, so they would go together. It seemed that there were a lot more farmers outside the city than before!
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized a little different. Many farmers outside the city were all burly men, and they were very conspicuous against the background of the thin farmers.
The middle-aged man's spirit immediately became tense. He immediately ordered his subordinates to follow him and said, "Go, stop outside the city and verify their identities!"
He was talking a little loudly on the top of the city, and was heard by a farmer walking under the city. The farmer immediately turned around and shook the hoe in his hand outside the city.
When many farmers outside the city saw it, they immediately accelerated their speed and walked towards the city gate quickly.
"You stop and don't go into the city again!" The middle-aged man was a little panicked on the top of the city and immediately pointed at him and said loudly, "Who dares to disobey your life? Be careful to deal with your family!"
When the farmers heard this, they looked up and imprinted his appearance deeply into their minds. Then they not only kept stopping, but also quickly, but ran.
When the middle-aged man saw it, he knew something was wrong. When he was about to shout, he suddenly saw something in the corner of his eyes and immediately looked up.
I saw cavalry appearing in the distance of the official road, with hundreds of cavalry running quickly towards the city gate. Behind the cavalry, thanks to the muddy road, there was no dust. In the clear view, many infantry soldiers wearing big red battle robes were running wildly here.
"No, the enemy attacks, the Ming army is coming, the Ming army is coming!" After seeing it clearly, the middle-aged man was so scared that he shouted quickly.
On the top of the city, the lazy cavemen were slowing down several times. After the middle-aged man shouted for a while, he realized the situation outside the city. He suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do? At this moment, in their minds, there were dense Ming troops outside the city. What should I do?
The middle-aged man came back to his senses first and quickly yelled and explained: "Hurry up, close the city gate, close the city gate!"
However, at this time, the strong farmers under the city had already killed the guards at the city gate, robbed their weapons, guarded the city gate hole, and shouted loudly: "Millions of heavenly soldiers from the Ming Dynasty will be killed, and those who surrender will not die!"
These words made the soldiers of the Dongwu army panicked and were even more at a loss. Although there were reminders from middle-aged men, they still had awe of the heavenly kingdom in their bones. They were just a little forgotten because of their pride over the years. But at this time, they finally remembered it when facing the Ming army's siege.
The middle-aged man didn't care whether he was inferior or not. He grabbed the city guards, and didn't know where they came from, shook their strength hard, and shouted loudly: "If the Ming army came in, how could it be spared? Why wouldn't we be able to retake the city gate soon? It would be too late to be too late!"
The guard at the top of the city was awakened by him, pushed him away, and quickly directed his subordinates to start capturing the city gate.
After all, the city gate is the focus of the city defense, and the guards have a large number of troops. Therefore, in panic, hundreds of soldiers were organized. Although few of them were wearing armor, they were at least holding weapons such as spears. When facing the Ming army farmers under the gate, they were at least more advantageous than hoes.
Seeing that the number of people was greater than that of our own and the weapons were better than our own, the Ming army farmers did not show any timidity at all. Not only did they not retreat, they took the initiative to kill and shouted loudly: "Those who surrendered are exempt from death, and those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" The Ming army farmer behind roared in unison, with a shocking momentum, and even affected the Dongwu soldiers who were preparing to retake the city gate.
However, the city guards and the middle-aged man were shouting loudly, and Togo's soldiers finally hesitated to step forward and prepare for a contact battle.
But at this moment, thick smoke came out from behind them and fired. At the same time, some people rushed over from the city with short weapons, forming a front and back attack with the Ming army at the gate of the city. The leader of these people was one of the members of the chat group, Baden-sen from Mubang. He had already sneaked into the city before, contacted the manpower he had arranged before, and was waiting for the moment of capturing the city!
The Dongwu soldiers panicked, but in the end, under the urging of their leader, the two sides fought together. For a moment, people fell down from time to time in this place under the city gate, including Ming army and Dongwu soldiers. Although the Dongwu soldiers were equipped with better equipment, the morale of the Ming army was significantly higher.
After a little stalemate, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the city becoming louder and louder. Finally, the Dongwu soldiers from somewhere shouted, threw their weapons and fled, which triggered the other Dongwu soldiers to escape, and the situation of defeat inevitably spread throughout the city as the iron hooves entered the city.
The cavalry did not stop all the way, and based on the city map that they had already obtained, they directly rushed to the guard's mansion. They happened to see a bearded general leaving the yamen and want to escape on a horse.
The leader of the cavalry leader took off his bow and arrow without saying a word, but he didn't see him aiming, and he had an arrow, and shot him off the back of the bearded man who had just rolled over the horse.
The leader of the cavalry seemed very sure of this. After shooting an arrow, he turned to look behind and saw that the Ming army in a big red battle robe had already killed the city and spread along the walls to both sides. He smiled slightly and seemed to say to himself: "It seems that we have not made any progress at all. No wonder my father was able to kill tens of thousands of them with 500 people back then!"
The Ming army continued to rush into the city. Except for some of them on the top of the city, other soldiers immediately attacked along the streets and alleys. Along the way, if anyone saw someone with weapons, they would be killed. When they were jealous, they would be killed without mercy if they saw a tattoo on their forehead.
This is because Dongwu's soldiers are actually called Ahmudan, which is a military system that directly belongs to the king's military and peasant army. This is a bit similar to the Ming Dynasty's garrison. These Ahmudans are both the king's tenant farmers and the king's soldiers. Whether King Dongwu has the power to rule depends to a large extent on whether he can effectively control Ahmudan.
King Talong knew this very well, so he ordered the household registration of the Ahmudan personnel, re-registered, and organized into artillery, sailors, elephant soldiers, infantry, archers, round shield soldiers, long shield soldiers, palace guards and Shan soldiers, etc.
King Talong ordered many times to strictly prohibit Ahmudan's cave from being mixed with Atai and slaves. This is very imaginative of the military system of the Ming Dynasty. Many people are unwilling to be Ahmudan and want to escape. King Talong issued a stern order, warning every cave not to hide the military households that fled from Ahmudan, and also ordered to inspect the debt slaves and prevent Ahmudan from being mixed with it. It can be seen that as Ahmudan's military households, sometimes they are worse than slaves!
In order to curb Ahmudan's escape, King Talong issued a decree not long ago to learn from the system of the Song Dynasty, strengthen the personal constraints and control of Ahmudan's military households, and issue an order. Ahmudan's military households did not want to thorn patterns on their foreheads, and sent them to cut elephant grass for violating the order.
Most of these Ming soldiers were fugitives and disaster victims. They naturally knew that most of the people who caused their family to be destroyed were Ahmudan military households, because they were the main force of Dongwu's war. With the killing of red eyes, the King of Tang promised before departure, and they started to kill them, just as all these Ahmudan military households resisted. In fact, they had given them a chance when they were at the gate of the city, but they did not surrender immediately.
Besides, Fu Yuman led more than 100 cavalry to occupy the guard's mansion and threw it to the infantry that arrived later. He himself led more than 100 cavalry out of the south gate and continued to chase forward.
Along the way, no Dongwu army dared to resist, and all threw away their weapons and ran wildly on the road. Fu Yuman and his men easily harvested their lives in the process of chasing the defeated soldiers, either by guns or by knife, but by gently sending them forward. With the help of horsepower, a life was already obtained.
After killing, Dongwu finally woke up, shouted, and fled into the mountains and forests on both sides. Like monkeys, they jumped three times and disappeared in the dense forest in a few strokes. Fu Yuman and others were cavalrymen and could not chase them, and this was not their focus. They just chased forward until they could not see the defeated soldiers.
When he turned his horse's head and had a rest, a Ming army cavalry said with a smile: "We are really useless to fight these holes, and we don't even have a decent resistance. I heard that the Jianlu in the north is so fierce. Our Ming army often can deal with one!"
Fu Yuman heard this and smiled and said, "In fact, these caves are still afraid of our imperial army at heart. Think about it, Dongwu is actually just as big as a province in the Ming Dynasty, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the land is forested. This time our army raided Mubang, and they don't know how many troops they have, and the soldiers are not elite soldiers, so it would be strange if they don't run away!"
Speaking of this, he paused, looked north and said, "Jianlu was powerful before, but you can see from the diary that in the past two years, our Ming Dynasty has been constantly winning battles against the enemy. Although Jianlu is fierce, he cannot be his opponent!"
His father eventually retired from his guerrilla position and retired. With his father's status, there is no problem if he wants to see the newspaper. Compared with these subordinates, he naturally has more knowledge and knows more things.
"What's going on? I can't defeat Jianlu before. I heard that many places in Liaodong were lost. Two years ago, the emperor issued an edict to support the king." A cavalryman asked curiously, "Why are you winning battles again in the blink of an eye? Could it be that my Ming Dynasty has produced a peerless general, right?"
Hearing these unsavvy words, Fu Yuman shook his head and smiled. After winning the battle, he was in a good mood, so he explained to him: "In fact, this is the wise and magical martial arts of the current emperor. Jianlu won the battle and captured Liaodong was the matter of the previous dynasty. After the emperor ascended the throne, he began to reform the government affairs. Those treacherous ministers were killed and exiled, and the national strength of our Ming Dynasty improved again. Speaking of which, our emperor is indeed a hero. You don't know that when the 100,000 Jianlu army attacked the capital, the emperor was on the city and made a promise to personally lead the imperial army in front of the slave chief on the city."
Speaking of this, he sighed again: "It's a pity that we are the Southern Army. It's probably impossible for us to follow the throne to wipe out Jianlu. This is a pity!"
Yunnan was too far from the capital, and these cavalrymen were originally ordinary people, military households, etc., and they had limited information. When they heard these unexpected news, they were all very shocked. They did not expect that the emperor was so powerful.
In this way, they talked about these things in a verbal way, and unconsciously felt more proud of being a Ming people. After a while, they set out again and went to clear the Dongwu escaped soldiers on the official road.
A day later, the Ming army had fully controlled Mubang. After a day of rest, the army immediately set off and attacked Mengmi. The nominal supreme commander, King Tang, was overjoyed. In the chat group, after the city was broken, Badending looked for an opportunity to tell the news of taking Mubang.
The King of Tang could no longer stay in Hanlong Pass and repeatedly asked to go to Mubang to take charge. After receiving the good news, the Jinyiwei escorted the King of Tang to Mubang.
When the Tang King arrived in Mubang, he looked at the city with the Ming flag flying and the people kneeling to greet his arrival, and he was so excited that he could not express himself. At this moment, he seemed to feel the pride of Taizu conquering the world. A real man should be like this!
However, according to the agreement, Mubang will still be the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the territory that was enfeoffed was Togo. Only after completing the first phase of the war was to conquer the world for him.
