Chapter 676: The Imperial Expedition
The front hall of Changchun Palace.
Zhu Linmiao dismantled the fire paint on the letterbox, took out the military newspaper and glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
On the side, Mu Zhiqing, whose cheeks were still a little red, walked from the apse with a touch of shyness from the apse, first put on a mink cloak for him, and saw that his expression was solemn, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, but something big has happened?" ”
Zhu Linmiao put away the urgent report, turned his head and said, "Duoduo has begun to cross the river. Daming will usher in a great war. ”
Mu Zhiqing knew the current situation very well, and immediately said: "It's a matter of the safety of the community, Your Majesty should go and get busy." If there are any concubines who can help, your majesty will command. ”
Zhu Linmiao nodded, "When I kill the thieves, I'll come back and accompany you well." ”
At the moment of state affairs, it is not appropriate to be nostalgic for the love of children, so he looked at Ma Wensheng, who was still standing nervously and solemnly, "What are you still stunned for?" Go and order Shi Lin, immediately prepare for the car, and the royal camp is reorganized! ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Ma Gonggong answered, and was about to turn around, but he seemed to remember something, and said with wide eyes, "Grandpa Huang, are you going out of the palace?" ”
"Yes. This battle was extremely critical, and I had to go to the front line to command. ”
Ma Wensheng hurriedly knelt down and said: "Grandpa Huang, you are just getting married and are about to leave the palace, if the queen mother knows, you will definitely condemn the slave and maid......"
When Mu Zhiqing heard this, she stepped forward and said: "The red candle has not been extinguished and the saddle horse is pulled, and the ancient sages can do nothing!" Your Majesty just has to go and suppress the captives, and the Queen Mother has her own concubines to advise. ”
Zhu Linmiao patted her hand gratefully, squinted at Ma Wensheng and said, "Why don't you go soon?" ”
"Ah, yes."
Half an hour later, when the soldiers of the imperial camp surrounded Zhu Linmiao's car and drove out of the noon gate, he saw Yang Tinglin leading a group of imperial courts to greet him. The emperor wanted to drive such a big event, but it was immediately spread out of the palace.
Yang Gebu and the others saluted beside the car, and played as if facing a great enemy: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, must not go to the dangerous place lightly. ”
"The minister invites the saint to sit in the court to determine the world!"
"Your Majesty's golden body, the sword in front of the battle has no eyes, this is ......"
Yang Tinglin also came up and whispered: "Your Majesty, you want to go on the expedition in person, and you should discuss it with the ministers first, and wait for the transfer of heavy troops from all over the country to escort you, and then it will not be too late to go on ......the expedition."
"Not too late? The military situation is changing rapidly, and it will be too late if you delay for a while! Zhu Linmiao was extremely tired of their rotten Confucian theory, and "the Son of Heaven should not go to danger" and "the emperor sat in the court", in the final analysis, it was all due to the bad habit of emphasizing literature over military force.
He frowned and said loudly: "There are Liu Bang, Yang Guang, Li Shimin in the front, and Emperor Taizu and Chengzu in the back.
"At present, this battle is about the survival of the Ming Dynasty. If I win, I will be safe and sound on the front line. If I lose, although the Ming Dynasty is big, I won't be safe anywhere!
"Zu Xun, 'The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies', not to let me shrink in the palace and wait for death, but to bathe in blood on the battlefield, and die in battle before the army!"
He looked at Yang Tinglin, "Yang Gebu, don't say much, get out of the way." ”
Yang Tinglin knew the temperament of today's son, and immediately bowed down and took a few steps back, and the other courtiers wanted to stop the car and persuade again, but saw Zhu Linmiao waving his hand to Shi Lin and said, "Get out of the way for me!" If there is any further verbosity, it will be regarded as a delay in the military aircraft. ”
"Yes!"
Outside the Forbidden City, a group of scholars looked at the backs of the imperial camp and more than a thousand dragon guards from afar, but they didn't expect that today's son would be so strong, and they looked at each other again, so they had to disperse helplessly.
……
Aisungu stretched out his arms and legs, which were almost frozen, and squinted out of the haystack, and saw that it was already dawn, and then the cat's waist came out.
He ate the only half of the potato in a few bites, and his heart was full of sorrow. At first, he thought that as long as he ran to the edge of the Yangtze River, he could think of a way to cross the river casually, but he couldn't find a boat to go north for several days - the people of the Ming Dynasty knew that Jianyu was on the north bank, who was sick and ran there?
Aisungu had met two boatmen who had not died, and said that they could carry him across the river, but they would ask for five taels of silver to open their mouths. Now he can only find five fleas on him, where is the silver?
In desperation, he could only continue to wander by the river, which was really miserable.
There was a hunger cry in his belly, and Aisungu was wondering where to find some food, when he suddenly saw a group of people running towards him in a panic.
He hurriedly stopped a middle-aged man and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Run!" The man didn't pay attention to his accent in a panic, looked behind him and said, "The Tartars have landed, I don't know how many people there are, run!" ”
Aisungu was overjoyed when he heard this, and ran towards the river without looking back.
The middle-aged man behind him waved his hand in surprise and said, "Eh! There's a tartar over there...... I'm afraid I'm crazy. ”
Running out of two or three miles, Ai Song Guguo saw the triangular white dragon flag fluttering in the distance, it must be the Qing army! He hurriedly ran out again, and when he saw several spear-wielding soldiers, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Which general are you?" ”
When a captive saw a man named Hanako smirking and pounced on him, he immediately raised his foot and kicked it over, and the rest of the people were all pulling their knives out of their sheaths, "Where did you come from?" Slaughtered! ”
The sharp blade was only a foot away from the top of Aisonggu's head, and he suddenly became wise and shouted in Manchu: "I am Lazhangjing, the general of Prince Yu's account!" ”
Although the captives came from Jianzhou, none of them understood Manchu, but they could finally hear a sound, and hurriedly put away their knives and put him into the camp.
It took a lot of effort for Mu Jilun, the main commander of the Jianyu striker, to recognize Ai Songgulai, and to cover his nose and ask him to bring a basin of water and clothes to clean up.
Aisongu shook his head again and again, "Don't worry, bring me some food and drink first!" ”
When the guards brought sorghum and japonica rice, he cleaned it up in a few bites, and said to Mu Jilun: "A few more bowls." Ah, right. The general is going south? ”
The great general he is talking about is the "great general" Duoduo.
Mu Jilun nodded and said, "The last general was ordered to lead 10,000 forwards to clear the riverside and set up a large camp. His Royal Highness then personally led the main force. ”
Ai Songgu looked anxious and grabbed him and said, "Quickly send someone to pass through the general, the barbarian is deceitful!" ”
"What?" Mu Zilun frowned and said, "Let's talk about it quickly. ”
"I was defeated by a sneak attack by the barbarians a few times ago, and I went to the Jiangning area, where I saw the barbarian army camped outside the city, and the carts and people who transported grain and grass were endless. I guess they're going to take advantage of my unpreparedness and set up an ambush to attack! ”
Mu Jilun was shocked, "Where did the barbarians get so many soldiers and horses?" Can you ambush my 150,000 army?! ”
"Wait," Aisongu was stunned, "150,000 troops, you say?" ”
"That's right, 150,000 horses have left Yangzhou, claiming to be 400,000, and they will cross the river today."
"Isn't there only more than 60,000 people in Yangzhou?"
"Hey, don't you know, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has transferred tens of thousands of green camps from Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, and even the two yellow flag camps have been allocated to the general. The total number of armies was 150,000. Eh, you haven't said how many soldiers and horses the barbarians have, so I'll go and war! ”
Aisungu's eyes lit up, and he slammed the empty bowl to the ground, "Damn, there are 150,000 troops here, and you still have a fart police?!" ”
"Didn't you say that there were Nanming ambush soldiers?"
Aisongu sneered: "It's only twenty or thirty thousand people. My army is thundering, they just want to ambush, but what can they do? ”
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists again, "Lao Tzu has endured hardships for a while, and he will definitely repay these barbarians a hundred times and a thousand times!" ”
