Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 408 Zhu Youjian escorted to Beijing
Zu Dale was curious about what His Royal Highness Xin Wang and this old man Li Ge were talking about secretly in the car, but he didn't dare to come closer to eavesdrop.

After all, these imperial guards acting as temporary guards all hold powerful new-style muskets in their hands. Even if he is a dignified general officer, if he dares to approach, he will be beaten into a sieve.

But when he heard His Royal Highness Zhu Youjian's laughter suddenly came from the carriage, Zu Dale also felt a little uncomfortable, and at this time, Zu Kuan also came over and asked: "Brother Le Son, why is His Royal Highness Xinwang laughing?"

"It's none of your business, don't ask too much!"

Zu Dale reprimanded Zu Kuan, and stood still like an old monk sitting in meditation, but his ears could not help but listen carefully to the movement in the carriage.

After Li Mingrui suddenly shouted "Come here" and reprimanded him for a while, Zu Dale suddenly understood that even if the Ganqing court put King Xin here, he was still worried and insisted on taking his life.

However, since ancient times, the emperor's family is the most ruthless, and Zu Dale is also very clear, knowing that a martial artist like himself is not qualified to intervene, but he sighed inwardly, thinking:

"Today, His Majesty is ruthless and decisive, but also loves the people like a son. On the one hand, he affirms military discipline and state laws, on the other hand, he lightly pays taxes, and even abolishes corvee directly. He is the best emperor in all ages;
Although His Royal Highness Xin Wang is a nobleman of the royal family, he treats people harmoniously, is not arrogant, and dares to fight, not greedy for life and fear of death, and is also a man of ambition and courage, but these two people were both born in the emperor's family. As a descendant of an emperor, no one can accommodate anyone else, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, perhaps this is the reason. "

Just when Zu Dale secretly felt sorry for the letter king Zhu Youjian, he saw that the letter king Zhu Youjian had already walked down under the escort of the two brocade guards in shackles.

At this time, Xin Wang Zhu Youjian had already changed into a prison uniform, and his hair, which had already been blown by the wind and sand, became even more disheveled. His face seemed determined, and he sometimes smiled wryly, sometimes burst into tears, and sometimes felt indignant.

Zu Kuan and several Western Expeditionary Forces couldn't help but walked over.

Although Zhu Youjian, the king of faith, is not considered their master, and they have no interest in connecting with Zhu Youjian, they have fought side by side together, and in modern times they can be regarded as comrades-in-arms brothers who have blocked swords and guns for each other, so they Instinctively, I came over to ask what was going on.

At this time, the imperial guards had already picked up the rifles in their hands. As long as these western expeditionary troops dared to go any further, they would be shot directly to the ground.

"Stand back, are you trying to rebel!"

Zu Dale shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army retreated back. Most of them showed suspicion on their faces, but they really didn't dare to ask any more questions.

And Li Mingrui didn't need to explain to them, he just called Zu Dale over: "Zongbing Zu, here is a decree from His Majesty, after reading it, act according to the decree."

Zu Dale walked over, took the yellow paper from Li Mingrui, unfolded it, and found that it was His Majesty Zhu Youxiao who asked him to retreat, and immediately went to Beijing to report to the Ministry of War. Those who need to be discharged from the army due to disabilities will be discharged and transferred to the local area, while those who are able-bodied will choose the best to enter the Royal Military Academy for further study, and the rest will be arranged to serve under the command of the chief army officer of each town.

As for his Zu Dale, he was directly appointed as the Zuo Dudu of the Nanjing Central Army Dudu Mansion. Although he was promoted to a first-rank military officer, it was just a idle job.Obviously, Zhu Youxiao wanted his ancestor Dale to go to Nanjing to retire.

Zu Dale was also so happy, he just knelt on the ground: "I would like to ask Mr. Li Ge to pass it on to His Majesty, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and give me a chance to spend my old age in peace!"

After Zu Dale said that, he couldn't help crying.

But Zu Kuan and the others were confused, until Zu Dale told them his will, they realized that they don't need to return the shrouded body of horse leather, but from now on the brothers will be separated and each go to another place.

As for the Acropolis of Hami, the first brigade of the third army of the imperial guards and the third brigade of the cavalry took over directly.

The third army is an infantry coordination force, and the first brigade is its main force. The infantry is well equipped. For this kind of mud brick walled Hami Acropolis, it is just a matter of consuming a few tons of steel and hundreds of liters of gas .

Before the Mongolian Tartar cavalry launched the first attack, the artillery battalion of the First Brigade of the Third Army launched the artillery attack first. The dense artillery fire covered the entire Acropolis of Hami in an instant, and the walls of the Acropolis of Hami were blown up. The Mongolian Tartar cavalry were also directly blown away. They had never been exposed to this kind of combat method of intensive artillery strikes at first, so the entire formation of the Mongolian Tartars was directly disrupted when they were unable to defend themselves.

At this time, the cavalry battalion charged and shot down a large area of ​​the Mongolian Tartars. These sturdy Mongolian Tartars were beaten to pieces like chickens and dogs.

The Mongolian Tartar cavalry were unwilling to be beaten passively, so they quickly retreated, reorganized the cavalry force, and took advantage of the rapidity of the cavalry to directly kill the Imperial Guard infantry.

The infantrymen of the Imperial Guards were not polite and immediately started shooting. The Mongol Tartars also shot arrows, but after all, the guns of the Imperial Guards were more efficient, which caused more casualties on the Tartars side.

What's more, the artillery battalion readjusted the artillery positions at this time, and when the Mongolian Tartars had just concentrated their forces and prepared to use intensive bow and arrow shooting to defeat the infantry battalion of the Imperial Guards, countless shells exploded again.

The Mongolian Tazi cavalry was disrupted again, but at this time the cavalry brigade of the Imperial Guards had also rushed to the Hami Acropolis, and quickly seized the Hami Acropolis.

The whole time was less than half an hour, and the Acropolis of Hami, which was guarded by tens of thousands of Mongolian Tartars, was seized by the imperial guards.

It wasn't that the Imperial Guards killed a large number of Mongolian Tartars, but that these Mongolian Tartars couldn't stop the attack of the Imperial Guards at all. As long as the Mongolian Tartars just rushed up, they could only be cannon fodder.

Therefore, after a fierce battle, the Mongol Tartars could only watch the Acropolis of Hami being taken away by the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty, and they had no choice but to leave.

At this point, from Yumenguan to Yangzhouguan to the west of Jiayuguan, to Shazhouwei to Hamiwei at the westernmost end of the Ming Dynasty, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has been reinstated. As for the various Mongolian tribes scattered in this area, it is up to the imperial court to decide, maybe It has not yet been decided whether to start reforming the land and returning it to the people, or to detain the land first and then reform the land and return it to the people.

Because no one thought that the Western Expeditionary Army would eventually reach the Hamiwei City.

According to the previous predictions of Zhu Youxiao and the cabinet, I thought that this might just be a failed western expedition, and it would lay the foundation for the real western expedition in the future.

But now, now that we have reached this point, we will simply dispatch the Imperial Guards to fight it down. According to Zhu Youxiao's temporary order, the First Brigade of the Third Army of the Imperial Guards and the Third Brigade of the Cavalry will temporarily not adjust their positions after the attack on Hami Acropolis. After returning to Zhongtu, the Anxi Xingdu Command and Envoy Division was directly established, with Jiao Hong as the commander, responsible for the military affairs of the entire Northwest region (refer to later generations is the Construction Corps).
