Daming Military Empire

Chapter 247 Setting an Example on the Battlefield

The reason why the Ming army came so quickly is naturally the credit of the telegram. After Zhu Cijiong received the report from the [-]st Regiment of the Dingliao Army, he immediately notified the nearby Ming troops to rush to the [-]st Regiment's station in an encirclement situation. He led [-] cavalry to the battlefield, leaving only Shi Kefa in command!
Isn't Zhu Cijiong crazy? Why did he go to the battlefield in person?In fact, he is not crazy at all, he has long thought of going to the battlefield, not for anything else, just to establish an image, the image of an iron-blooded emperor, the emperor is so brave, can the soldiers of the three armies spare their lives!
Of course, it is necessary to choose the right time to go to the battlefield in person. Like his previous expeditions, he faced all the post-gold iron cavalry. They not only have super fighting power, but also have artillery. Although Cao Huachun and Qin Mingyue are both masters, they even really But if the Jin army aimed all the artillery at him, even if there were peerless masters by his side, he might not be able to protect him, so he didn't go to the battlefield in person a few times ago, it was too dangerous to go take the risk.

Here I have to talk about Nurhachi. He also came to the battlefield in person as the lord of a country. The post-gold iron cavalry he brought out is called brave, but he just underestimated the power of the artillery, and dared to go up against the shells. There is no need to say more about how hard the iron lump is and the meat lump, so he hung up.

Naturally, Zhu Cijiong would not learn from Nurhachi to use his body to test shells, so when faced with Houjin who had artillery, he always stayed behind and commanded. This time it was different, because the rebel army did not have artillery at all, and even There are no muskets, at most there are some bows and arrows. Bows and arrows may be fine against ordinary people, but not against experts. Let alone Cao Huachun and Qin Mingyue, he can push them away. You must know that he has practiced with Qin Mingyue. It's been a few years, although the talent is not high, the skill is slowly improving, and dozens of strong men may not get close to him, so it's not a problem to shoot an arrow or something.

It is not uncommon for the emperor to visit the battlefield in person in the Ming Dynasty. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di were both fought on the battlefield, but they may not be as majestic as Zhu Cijiong, because the guards around him are too strong, they are too strong. .

Not to mention the hundreds of Jinyiwei and Dongchang masters in the periphery, Qin Gongming, who opened the way in front, are all fierce and fierce generals, and there are masters like Cao Huachun by his side, even Qin Mingyue made an exception and put on a battle robe to guard him By his side, he didn't even have a chance to do it.

Such a group of people rushing into the battlefield is simply a disaster for the rebel army. The cavalry of the rebel army originally had a certain advantage, but when Zhu Cijiong arrived, the situation was completely reversed. In front of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang masters, they even fought back. There was no chance, "shuashuashua" a flash of swords and swords, and patches of cavalry fell down with their necks clutched for no reason. The scene was just weird and scary.

This kind of scene didn't last long. Just as Zhu Cijiong drew his sword and looked around, looking for a fish that slipped through the net, the rebels around started shouting: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender."

At first, it was just hundreds of thousands of people shouting like this, but gradually this voice spread throughout the battlefield like a plague. It was almost said that some rebels threw away their weapons and crouched on the ground with their heads in their arms.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Cijiong shoved his sword back into his waist in embarrassment, and shouted: "Qin Gongming, led the Liao army to clean up the battlefield, tied up all the bandit leaders and waited to be released, and the rest handed over their weapons and concentrated to guard them. "

Qin Gongming obeyed immediately, and immediately took the messengers and personal guards to gather troops to clean up the battlefield, and Zhu Cijiong said to Cao Huachun who was beside him: "Eunuch Cao, go and see if the chief general of the [-]st Regiment is still alive." , if alive, bring him to see me."

Cao Huachun replied and obeyed, hit his horse and ran to the center of the battlefield. Soon, he came back, followed by a blood man on horseback.

This person is naturally Li Mingfu, the leader of the [-]st Regiment. His fame as a martial arts scholar is not fake, and his kung fu is naturally not bad. Although he is still unparalleled in bravery in the face of ten times the enemy cavalry, there is nothing in the rebel army. Master, to kill him, he can only be killed slowly. It took less than half an hour before Zhu Cijiong rushed in with his army, so he was not consumed to death, but was injured in many places and was covered in blood.

Now that he heard that the emperor was coming, he quickly dropped everything and ran after Cao Huachun on his horse.He was not the guard of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, so when he was still a hundred steps away from Zhu Cijiong's imperial chariot, he jumped off his horse, ran quickly to the dragon flag, knelt down and said loudly: "The last general Li Mingfu sees the emperor. "

Zhu Cijiong wanted to set an example, so he naturally wanted to show his thirst for talents. Before Li Mingfu could finish his words, he turned over and jumped off the horse, walked forward, supported him, and said kindly: "General Li has worked hard. , get up, get up, the injury is not serious, or I will send the imperial doctor over to bandage you right away."

Li Mingfu stood up respectfully, and said excitedly: "If you go back to the emperor, you will be fine in the end. You don't need to bother the imperial doctor with this minor injury."

Should he be promoted as a fighting hero or cultivated as a confidant?Zhu Cijiong vaguely remembered that this person seemed to have participated in the imperial examination, and he should be a martial arts scholar, but let's get to know him first. He patted Li Mingfu on the shoulder and praised: "Well, it's good, you can use 5000 troops to resist [-] bandits. Wizards, wizards!"

This is to see whether Li Mingfu is modest or not. If he is a person who is proud of his achievements, then there is nothing to cultivate. Just reward him. Fortunately, Li Mingfu did not disappoint him. He was not proud, but humble He said: "Don't dare to be praised by the emperor. The last general alone can't stop a hundred thousand bandits. It all depends on the lives of his soldiers."

Zhu Cijiong nodded, pretending to be curious and asked: "If 5000 people face [-] bandits, if they don't escape, they will almost die. Are you not afraid of death?"

Li Mingfu showed a resolute expression when he heard the words, and said loudly: "Back to the emperor, a humble minister is not afraid of death, and serves the country faithfully, even if he dies, he will have no regrets."

Well, he is a talent worth cultivating. Zhu Cijiong said gratifiedly: "Okay, you are so loyal to serve the country, even if you die without regret, if I remember correctly, you are a Wu Jinshi, right?"

The emperor actually remembered him, and Li Mingfu became even more excited. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty remembers correctly, the last general was the [-]th in the Jiaxu Kewu Examination in the seventh year of Chongzheng, and was granted a Jinshi background by the emperor's grace."

As expected, if he is his own student, then he will have a better future in training. He thought about it, and then said to Cao Huachun who was beside him: "Cao Huachun, draw up a decree."

How to write imperial edicts on this battlefield?Of course, Zhu Cijiong wasn't aimless, he said this because he saw that Cao Huachun had been ordering people to bring the set of draft edicts with him.Sure enough, when Cao Huachun heard the words, he only waved, and immediately an eunuch ran over with a huge sandalwood box on his back, respectfully placed the box in front of him, and skillfully took out the blank imperial decree and pen and ink inside, and placed it on the surface of the box, Waiting for the emperor to speak.

Zhu Cijiong cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Li Mingfu, the guerrilla general of the Dingliao Army, fought bravely, was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and stopped the bandits. The Wuwei Army, the third-class army of the Ming Dynasty, bestowed the sun, moon and dragon flag, and the moon is full and the day is short."

This model tree was directly promoted from guerrilla general to admiral, and he was promoted five levels in a row!Zhu Cijiong wanted to let the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty understand that as long as they are brave in battle, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, the court will definitely reuse them, and the emperor will definitely promote them!
