The Ming Dynasty had three capitals: Beijing, Nanjing, and Fengyang, the central capital.

Mingzhong Capital is located in the northwest corner of Fengyang County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. It is a capital built by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in Fengyang, Anhui. Li Shanchang, the first civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, presided over the design of all the projects.

It covers an area of ​​382 million square meters, more than 700 mu.The scale is larger than ordinary cities, 12 square meters larger than the Forbidden City.

The central axis of the entire city is thirteen miles long, and the buildings in the city are modeled on the Nanjing Imperial City. (I won’t be wordy here, friends who are interested can go directly to Baidu, this book does not need water characters.)

When Gao Yingxiang captured Fengyang, he lost the imperial mausoleum in the south of the city, but the city of Fengyang still remained.

This is the first time Zhu Youjian has come to Fengyang, after all, he borrowed the identity of the original Zhu Youjian, and this can be regarded as returning to his hometown.

Lu Jiude, the eunuch who stayed in Fengyang, Shi Kefa, Minister of the Ministry of War, and the people from the emperor's secretariat who came with Shi Kefa, all knelt in front of Fengtian Hall to welcome Zhu Youjian.

Two rows of guards in bright armor cleared the way, accompanied by a row of eunuchs. Under a big yellow Luo Gaisang (canopy), Zhu Youjian was wearing a gold silk crown and a bright yellow dragon robe. Fengtian Temple came.

"Long live, long live, long live!" All the courtiers shouted immediately, although not all the courtiers, but there are still many departments in the capital, and the momentum is enough.

For the first time, Zhu Youjian held a returning home ceremony similar to the grand ceremony as the emperor.

"The sky, the earth, the sun, the moon, and the universe are red. The Great Ming Dynasty has been enjoying the country for 270 years since the beginning of Fengyang, and since the Taizu restored the Han people's country and country. Looking back at those years, the Central Plains was invaded by alien races, and the people were devastated. It is not far away.

Taizu couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised his troops and raised righteousness to overthrow Yiyuan. He was the most righteous master of the country for thousands of years.Even if Tai Shigong is back, he dare not speak of him.From now on, the Jin Tartars became angry, and launched another military disaster, occupying our capital, invading our land, and taking our people captive.

The little Mandarin slaves, who were originally my untouchables of the Ming Dynasty, suspected that I belonged to the great position. This is disrespect to the community and tramples on the ancestral temple.I make this oath: I want to invite the heavenly soldiers to defeat tyranny, punish rebellion, and restore rivers and mountains.Dare to ask the ancestors to protect me and protect me..."

Since Houjin entered the customs, Daming has not formally declared war on Houjin in name.

Zhu Youjian has been forced to this point today, and it would be too useless if he didn't declare war.Now that the enemy army has already hit the door of the house, Zhu Youjian of course has to come forward.

The declaration of war came out, and the whole city of Fengyang was full of shouts.

People in the Central Plains like to be proud of a certain important person in their hometown, and they will usually show off when they see outsiders: What a great person has happened to us.

Fengyang was originally a small place, but because of Zhu Yuanzhang, it became famous all over the country.Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants personally lead troops here to resist foreign enemies. This is a kind of cry, and the people of Fengyang are all excited.

The Ming army didn't have time to toss about for too long, the ceremony went through a simple cutscene, and several major figures got together.

"Yao Hai, you report the enemy's military situation first." Zhu Youjian was not polite, and the Fengtian Temple, which had just been removed from the ceremony scene, instantly became a temporary combat headquarters.

"The enemy's vanguard has captured Huaiyuan City, and all the garrison troops have been evacuated to Fengyang City last night. At present, there are still [-] miles away from Fengyang, which can be reached in half a day." Yao Hai, who has been doing intelligence work in Anhui, has temporarily Take over the entire Fengyang intelligence system.

"Commander Huang, where is the rear of the Hezhou Army?"

Huang Degong had just entered the Fengtian Temple, and he was in such a hurry that he didn't catch up with the war declaration ceremony.Hearing Zhu Youjian calling him, Gulong Gulong drank half a pot of cold water, and hurriedly said: "It will take another day for the rear army."

"Master Shi, how many good things have you brought here?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Shi Kefa replied in a deep voice: "I have emptied all the weapons in the Nanjing arsenal, and also emptied all the weapons manufactured in the New Weapons Bureau. Among them, there are a total of five modified carriages. 750 vehicles. 50 guns of various types, [-] knives and guns, and [-] catties of gunpowder. In addition, there are [-] taels of silver."

When everyone heard this, they were a little disappointed.To say that the hope of this battle basically depends on Shi Kefa's Ministry of War.

Anyone who knows the inside story understands that the Ming army is not superior in strength, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers is still inferior.If the Ministry of War did not have much more powerful weapons than Hou Jin or a sufficient number of reinforcements, this battle would not be able to go on at all.

"Lu Jiude, where's your side?"

"Long Live Lord, I have obeyed your orders, and put all the cattle, sheep and livestock within a hundred miles around Fengyang into the city two days ago. Now, not even a single pig can be found around Fengyang Mansion."

Everyone wanted to laugh when they heard Lu Jiude's words.The emperor's order is very strange. Could it be that he intends to use these livestock to reward the soldiers with a meal of meat?

"Miss Xing, what about you?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the Fengyang army has completed the training of [-] riders to drive horse-drawn carriages. Although they can't be called good players, they can all drive alone."

"Okay! You have all completed your respective missions. I am so relieved! I know you are all doubtful, given the current situation, how to fight this battle. Some people don't even report any confidence, right?"

As Zhu Youjian said, he took a first look at Zuo Mao.

"This is the gift I prepared for Duduo for this battle." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he pulled out a roll of pictures, and a four-wheeled cart that looked like a wooden box appeared in front of everyone.

"This thing was originally called Husche Fort, and it was made by skilled Western craftsmen. Presumably all the lovers here have seen the four-wheeled carriage I brought to Nanjing. Compared with my chariot before the Ming Dynasty, the new four-wheeled carriage has a curved steering shaft,

No matter which direction you need to turn, the four-wheeled carriage can turn and turn around quickly and easily, and after stopping, it can be stable without fixing.

The newly improved four-wheeled carriage, the latest bearings are installed on the shaft of this wheel, which makes the rotation easy and saves a lot of effort.

The baffles around the compartment are all thickened and double-layered hardwood is used. In the future, the firecrackers equipped with gold equipment will not be able to penetrate them at close range.There is a cover on the roof, which can block arrows, and can also be turned over temporarily to increase the front armor.

The most important thing is that this car can carry a lot of heavy loads, and when it is extended, it can store fifteen soldiers. "

"So powerful?" Huang Degong stared at him in disbelief.

"Commander Huang, if you don't believe me, you can have a try with soldiers later." Shi Kefa hurriedly interjected, it was disrespectful to question in front of the emperor, and he was the only one to say this rhetorical question.

"It doesn't matter, the Tazi soldiers will arrive in half a day, just let the Hezhou army practice. I will definitely try it later." Zhu Youjian didn't care. It is normal for someone to question something new.

"In the face of a superior enemy army, it is impossible to defend by hiding in the city alone. I decided to fight outside the city, and openly fight with the Jin army."

The emperor is crazy.Everyone thinks so at the moment.

For a long time, there has been such a saying: Hou Jin is less than ten thousand, and full of ten thousand is invincible!

This sentence can be understood literally. Once the Hou Jin army exceeds [-], its field combat capabilities will be almost invincible.Now that the emperor is actually fighting with the Jin army when the military strength is not superior, is this courting death?

"Long Live Lord, absolutely not! We can only stand firm in Fengyang and mobilize troops from all over the country to come, so we will have a chance of winning." Lu Jiude was terrified. If the field battle fails, Fengyang will become a living thing on the chopping board. meat.If he just hid behind the city wall and fought, he still thought he could live a few more days.

"You don't believe that we can fight in the field, do you?" Zhu Youjian looked around, and saw that although these people didn't make a sound, the expressions on their faces had already answered.

"I dare not wait!" Although he admitted it in his heart, he couldn't say it in front of Zhu Youjian.

"Okay! I'll show you the rehearsal. Huang Degong, Mrs. Xing, you go and dispatch people to prepare for the rehearsal."

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he walked out of the hall first, followed by a group of muttering ministers, and everyone expressed doubts.

An hour later, everyone returned to the main hall. This time, everyone changed from muttering to chattering. Their voices became louder and their expressions became more excited.

Chapter 177: Dodo is here

Duduo's army was not marching as fast as Zhu Youjian expected. He completely overestimated Houjin's mobility.

When the Hou Jin army actually appeared outside Fengyang City, Ye Bushou found out that they were only the forwards of the Duoduo tribe, and the total number was only 2000.

"XX, the forwards are so arrogant." Zhu Youjian changed into an ordinary armor, and rode on the horse to look at the provocative Houjin soldiers, but there was nothing he could do.

Who let me have no cavalry here.

"Your Majesty, go and hit him for a while, it's just a few cavalry." Huang Degong looked anxious, eager to try.

"Choose a division and try it in the past." Being teased by the enemy at the door of his own house made him uncomfortable, and Zhu Youjian couldn't bear it either.
