The chief player of the film and television world

Chapter 562

In the seventh year of the apocalypse, on October [-], Zhu Youjian, Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty, succeeded to the throne by his will.

Published the "Edict of Enthronement" to announce to the world, which said: I will inherit the great cause with Chongren.The ancestors' merits and virtues are only obeyed by the laws and regulations; the officials governing the people are difficult, and they will seek flexibility.

These words pointed out that the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to rectify the administration of officials. As for where to start, it was undoubtedly the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian.

Along with the imperial edict issued by the new emperor's ascension to the throne, it was spread all over the world, and there was also the rumor that on the day of the enthronement ceremony, the ninety-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine of the Huode Zhenlong would add Guozuo's luck to the new emperor.

Compared with the content of the imperial edict, this kind of news is easier to spread among the common people, because the facts are true, and some people secretly contribute to the flames, but within half a month, there are discussions about this in places where there are many people in the entire Ming Dynasty. topic of things.

The people talked about it with great interest and never tired of it.

Not to mention the impact of this incident on the people of the world, but the impact on the dignitaries and ordinary people in the capital is not small.Especially one night there was a fire dragon patrolling the sky, traveling all over the capital. Countless people witnessed this scene with their own eyes, which further deepened the idea that the new emperor is the sage of fire virtue who will surely benefit the people and revitalize the Ming Dynasty. recognition!
In just a few days, Zhu Youjian's prestige and limelight were the same for a while!
Zhu Youjian also took advantage of this prestige to start targeting Wei Zhongxian. Under his deliberate actions, the conflict between the two sides quickly intensified, and the eunuch party also put pressure on him in the court.

In order to grasp the reality of eradicating the eunuch party, the Donglin Party naturally supported Zhu Youjian.

Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to threaten Zhu Youjian with the excuse of murdering the late emperor, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't care.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Wei Zhongxian still exposed the matter, otherwise Zhu Youjian would continue to sit on the throne and join hands with the Donglin Party, which would have devastating effects on himself and the Eunuch Party. strike!

The new emperor had only been enthroned for more than half a month, and the charge of plotting to murder the late emperor was charged. For a while, the entire court was shaken, both inside and outside the capital!
Wei Zhongxian took "The Minutes of Treasure Ship Supervision" and Guo Zhen, and Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, an important minister of the eunuch party, joined forces with the rest of the party in front of the officials to press the emperor to ask whether the matter was true or not.

However, Zhu Youjian had been prepared for a long time, and sent people to Jinyiwei's archives to retrieve the "Treasure Ship Supervision Minutes" on the spot, compared it with the booklet in the hands of the eunuch party, and then recruited eunuchs and craftsmen who had participated in the project recorded in the booklet at that time. After confirming the numbers, it was finally determined that the treasure ship supervision minutes in the hands of the eunuch party were forged fakes.

Guo Zhen even retracted his confession on the spot, confessing that he was persecuted by the eunuch party and was also under house arrest in Wei Zhongxian's mansion. Everything was a conspiracy designed by Wei Zhongxian.

Not only the evidence was falsified, but even the witnesses had problems.

When the eunuchs saw this situation, they were all dumbfounded!

Wei Zhongxian's face, which was originally confident in winning, also turned into a panic and gloomy with uncertainty.

"Wei Zhongxian, you are so courageous! Do you really think that I can let you do whatever you want like the late emperor!" Zhu Youjian pointed to Jiu Qiansui who sat down as his deputy and shouted loudly, "Come here, take this old thief down for me!" !"

Apocalypse seven years, the end of October.

Wei Zhongxian was imprisoned for a crime, and the eunuchs had no leader, and their arrogance plummeted.Seeing this, the Donglin Party took the opportunity to add insult to injury, impeaching and crowding out eunuch officials. For a while, everyone in the eunuch party was in danger, and they all looked for ways to change their families and resigned to avoid the wind.

When Zhu Youjian and Wei Zhongxian were fighting in court, Zhang Jin was not idle, he spent a lot of thought on Miaoxuan's side, tried every means, and was romantic, and finally persuaded the other party.

However, unlike Zhou Miaotong, Miaoxuan only promised to marry him as his wife, but never as a concubine, otherwise he would rather be alone.

Zhang Jin naturally agreed wholeheartedly, anyway, it was just to complete the task.Regardless of the fact that the secondary challenge task only has one hundred points, it affects the overall evaluation, and the overall evaluation affects the reward level of the item skills dropped after the dungeon ends.

So even if it wasn't for the hundred points, he had to do his best to complete this task for the S-level reward.

It's a pity that the good days of going out to visit the mountains and rivers with beauty, and having a meal together with beauty at home will soon come to an end.

On this day, Zhu Youjian, who had already temporarily dealt with Wei Zhongxian, sent someone to summon Zhang Jin to the palace for an audience. The first thing he said when they met was: "You said that day that you would help me relieve the pressure on the Liaodong Jurchen. Now Wei Zhongxian is nothing to worry about. You can Tell me your way."

A way to alleviate the Liaodong Jurchen?What else, of course, kill it!
Zhang Jin said: "I need a team of about 3000 elite soldiers to cooperate, starting from Shanhaiguan, and going all the way to Shengjing along Ningyuan and Yingzhou."

Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words: "Did I hear you right?"

"Yes, you heard it right." Zhang Jin replied with certainty.

"Do you know that the Jurchen soldiers are so prosperous, not to mention the [-] soldiers of the Ming army, even the [-] tigers and wolves are hard to resist. You and these [-] soldiers may be killed by the Jurchens along the way as soon as they set off from Shanhai Pass to Yingzhouwei Wipe it clean!" Zhu Youjian shook his head and said.

"Since 3000 and [-] soldiers can't resist the Jurchen Bingfeng, then I can only bring [-] people to relieve His Majesty's worries. Your Majesty has just taken power, and the court situation is still uncertain. It is the limit to mobilize [-] soldiers." Zhang Jin said .

If it wasn't for the limited time, Zhang Jin would of course want to mobilize [-] soldiers and horses to follow him to the outside of the pass.It's a pity that he didn't have so much time to wait for the troops to be mobilized, food, supplies and military pay needed to be prepared.

The 3000 troops was the conclusion Zhang Jin reached after discussing with Lu Wenzhao. Lu Wenzhao was a Ming army garrison in his early years, and he knew the situation of the Ming army at the Liaodong border very well.When he learned that Zhang Jin was going to lead troops out of the customs to raid Hou Jin, although he laughed at this as an act of death, he still discussed related matters with Zhang Jin very seriously.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Youjian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you 3000 troops, what else do you want?"

Zhang Jin said: "I hope that these three thousand soldiers will be equipped with both infantry and cavalry. It is best to be equipped with the latest bird guns and sufficient ammunition. Those who have enemies with the Jurchen will be given priority, and those without night blindness will be given priority. guide."

"I'm ready for all of these!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

Apocalypse seven years, November [-]th.

Yang Qi, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, had already received the letter, and led his generals to meet Zhang Jin who had come all the way to Shanhaiguan.

Zhang Jin gave Yang Qi the warrant of the Ministry of War and the emperor's decree that he was carrying on his body, and after confirming that they were correct, Yang Qi led him to the barracks, where the selected Ming soldiers lined up for inspection.

On the commanding platform, Zhang Jin looked around, and the mental appearance, physical appearance and body shape of the [-] Ming soldiers were clear, and he already knew them in his heart.

Yang Qi's work was not bad, at least he didn't use old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to fool him, but there should be few old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers who can serve in the frontier army, at most they just eat and eat.

Although there are no old, weak, sick or disabled, there are quite a few veterans and thorns in the army, and they can't be dragged out of each one, as if they are not soldiers, but the few on the stage are soldiers.

"Mr. Yang chose a group of good soldiers for me!" Zhang Jin turned to Yang Qi and said.

Yang Qi said with a smile all over his face: "Master Zhang is as long as he is satisfied. If he is not satisfied, there is nothing he can do. This is already the group of our Shanhaiguan soldiers who meet the requirements the most."

"Hehe!" Zhang Jin smiled disdainfully.

He was too lazy to argue with this guy, time was running out, and although most of these people were veterans and thorns, at least they were strong and strong, and they were good fighters on the battlefield.

"I've seen the soldiers. What about the blunderbuss, ammunition and horses that the emperor and the minister of the Ministry of War asked Mr. Yang to prepare?"

"Already ready, Mr. Zhang, this way please." Yang Qi said.

Zhang Jin followed Yang Qi and others to the arsenal and saw the blunderbuss and ammunition. With the problem of selecting the source of troops, he was also mentally prepared for the equipment.But to his surprise, the opponent did not deduct half a point on the firearm.The promised [-] bird guns and sufficient ammunition were not missing.

Zhang Jin was very satisfied with this, and before leaving, he took an iron tire bow and a good horse spear from the armory.

After resting in Shanhaiguan for one night, the next day, Zhang Jin led 3000 people out of the customs and headed for Shengjing, the capital of Houjin!
On the city wall of Shanhai Pass, a lieutenant general asked: "Master Chief Soldier, what do you think the emperor sent this lord to bring such a small number of troops out of the pass to fight the Jurchens?"

"What else can you do? The emperor knows that our brothers in the frontier army have worked hard, so he gave us a gift of silver. You go back and ask someone to draw up a document, and say that in addition to the 3000 troops you prepared, Mr. Zhang temporarily recruited another 3000 troops. 6000 people went out to fight bravely, but unfortunately they were outnumbered and the whole army was wiped out, so I ask the imperial court to allocate funds to compensate the fallen soldiers." Yang Qi said lightly.

Outside the pass in November, snow had already fallen, and it was freezing cold. There were no people in the wilderness, and even birds and animals were gone. Only snow and ice crystals could be seen.

The weather in the Little Ice Age at the end of Ming Dynasty was still very cold. Even wearing military cotton clothes and thick cloaks, you can still feel the bone-freezing chill.

In the leeward valley, the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty who had marched for most of the day were resting, eating dry food and drinking to warm up.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes from far to near, and the scouts who had gone out to watch came back. After dismounting their horses, they quickly came to Zhang Jin to report: "My lord, I saw the whereabouts of the soldiers and horses of Houjin Nuzhen in front of me."

"How many people are there?" Zhang Jin asked.

"Inferred from the size of the camp, there are no less than 300 people."

Zhang Jin wondered, "300 people? It's icy and snowy, what did Jurchen send 300 people to the vicinity?"

They took the Guan Ning Jin line of defense, the flat terrain of the Liaoxi Corridor, but after years of management by the Ming army, the residents outside the pass were either relocated to the pass, or they were snatched by the Jurchen. No man's land in between.

It is impossible for the Jurchen army to come here to fight the autumn wind to grab food. They only face the hard fortress city.

Most of the time, Jurchen didn't have much thought about the Guan Ningjin area, and people would hardly appear in this area unless they wanted to launch an offensive, but winter was really not a good time.

At this time, a soldier next to him interjected: "My lord, I heard that the imperial court is going to send food and supplies to Jinzhou a few days ago. These Jurchens are probably here for this, right?"

"300 people dare to rob my Daming's luggage. I'm not afraid of being surrounded by the fortress along the way and cut off the retreat? Even if they can rob the grain convoy, they will never escape!" Someone snorted.

"If there are more than 300 Jurchen people, it is very likely that the other party is just an outpost team." Someone said.

"That's true. I think we'd better not mess with it."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately won the approval of many people.

Zhang Jin turned his head to look at the crowd, and said without a doubt: "Don't talk about three hundred Jurchens, so what if it's three thousand or thirty thousand? Have you forgotten what I said before we set off? We are here to die. Killing one is enough money, and killing two is earning money. If you can get into Shengjing, the capital of the future, it will not be in vain for a man to come to this world!
You brothers are all people who have deep hatred with Jurchen. If you can't take revenge, what face will you have to live in the world!After his death, how will he face his parents who died tragically!

I will put my words here at the end. Those who want to leave now just leave, I will not force you to stay, and I will give you a warrant so that you will not be regarded as deserters when you return to Shanhaiguan.But if you choose to stay, you must be clear that this is a road of no return, you can only die on the way to charge and kill the enemy! "

After a moment of silence, one of the bearded beards wiped the wine stains from his mouth, cracked his mouth and said with a smile: "Damn it, I, Old Pan, just wanted to kill a few more son-of-a-bitch Jurchens and avenge the villagers. don't go!"

"Yes, I just joined this operation because I couldn't get used to the fact that the generals above always stayed in the city and didn't dare to fight. Go back? After I die, I will naturally go back!"

"Damn it! If you don't kill the enemy as a soldier, when will you be promoted? Mr. Zhang, if we can go back alive this time, how many ranks can I be promoted to be a sentinel?"

"It depends on how many Jurchen soldiers' heads you cut off. The more you cut off, the more meritorious service you get, and the higher your promotion. Maybe you can be a garrison or a captain!"

"I don't ask for a promotion, the important thing is that I can get a few daughters-in-law when I have money, and carry on the family line for my old Li family."

His words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Seeing that the atmosphere was lively, Zhang Jin asked several hundred households to convey their decision to the subordinate soldiers.After about a stick of incense, hundreds of households came to report, and none of the three thousand soldiers left, and they were all willing to fight to the death with Jurchen.

Zhang Jin is very satisfied with this, which is why he chose those who have enemies. Being timid before a battle has a great impact on his morale and momentum, and he doesn't have much ability to encourage these soldiers. Of course, it is best to save some energy. OK

"Order the whole army, prepare and mount the horses, and set off immediately! The scouts will lead the way!"

Zhang Jin stood up, shook off the fine snow from his cloak, carried the wine bag in one hand, and walked towards his horse with a horse in the other.

After a while, an energetic black war horse leaped out from the valley, and the horse's hooves splashed the thin snow mixed with mud on the ground. When it came out of the leeward side, it faced the howling cold wind mixed with snowflakes!

The coldness enters the soul, and the spirit can't help but be lifted!
Zhang Jin and the scouts took the lead, followed by many cavalry in red armor and cloaks, gathered in the vast snow to form a majestic torrent, sweeping towards the north!
