Beiyang new warlord

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?"

There was a sudden silence, and it was obvious that she couldn't get used to it. Han Xiaomo hurriedly asked a little panicked. Who knew that the next moment, Mao Xingjian stuffed a heavy pot handle into her little hand, and then pulled her to another With one hand, Mao Xingjian grabbed her and walked away without seeing anything. The girl screamed even more panicked: "Hey! Where are you going!"

"Go back to the tent to eat, you stupid girl can drink porridge with the northwest wind blowing in the cold weather."

The same familiar voice of ridicule came from the front, and Han Xiaomo pouted angrily again upon hearing it.

"Why are you talking to your aunt!"

Holding her hand and sitting back on the bed, Mao Xingjian didn't realize that, on his face, which was a few years older, a glow of glory reappeared, that decadent prince seemed to have left.

.......

Early in the morning, there was another urgent tent raising drum, and once again, all the generals of the expeditionary army had arrived. The attack plan was made last night, and the plan will be implemented today. The breath of war permeated the entire army. Everyone is tense, because the next war will be desperate.

But before Adelaine's dignified speech came down, suddenly, the door of the headquarters was pushed open, and Mao Xingjian burst in with the look of the little sentinel on the verge of crying, and swiped Son, the eyes of all the generals looked over again.

"Hey, our merciful prince is here, and this time he wants to bring that barbarian over again?"

With a grin, the bearded Liu Zongmin took the lead in laughing sarcastically, who knew that Mao Xingjian pushed back without hesitation: "You, the defeated general under my father's subordinates who have been defeated repeatedly, have no face in front of Gu Noisy?"

"Little brat, you..."

He had just finished cursing halfway, when a cold gaze was projected on his back, he looked back at Adelaina's murderous eyes, shivered a bit, this guy shrank his head and cowered, saying "won't you do it?" Jing muttered.

"I don't know why the mother is so sour!"

It's just that today, Adelaine's eyes are not as contemptuous and arrogant as yesterday's. Looking at Mao Xingjian's clean coat and neatly rearranged hair, she asked solemnly: "Prince! Why did you break into the house?" This handsome Chinese army?"

"In the name of the Rocky Governor, I stand alone against your attack plan!"

"That's right! According to the crown prince's approach, we should go to those savages and surrender!"

Liu Zongmin taunted him unscrupulously again, but this time, no one followed him, some people were born with that aura, and Mao Xingjian's aura, at this moment, appeared as heavy as mountains. Looking at his sharp Eyes, dignified expression, I don't know why, even Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and other generals who came from the Chuangjun and surrendered, couldn't laugh.

Having made a fool of himself, Liu Zongmin retracted his head resentfully.

Adelaine also kept staring at him with the same dignified expression, she asked again.

"reason?"

"I have been in contact with the six tribes in the south, that is, the barbarians who slaughtered my Snake City. Before going north, they attacked the Aztec Empire occupied by Spain for two consecutive years and destroyed nearly half of the Spanish stronghold in the Gulf of Mexico. , In other words, the remaining half that has not been destroyed are all large fortresses that they can't chew."

"Left guard, even if I have a strong Ming army, how much do you plan to spend to fight for the poor food of the Spaniards in these fortresses? What if they are more ruthless, fortify the walls and clear the fields, and burn the food?"

Adelaine's face was obviously serious, but at this time, Liu Zongmin couldn't help but popped up, screaming with a crow's mouth: "Speaking of it, you nerdy prince still wants the big guy to find a barbarian!" Surrender?"

"General Liu, it's a pity that you have been a thief all your life, and you don't even have the courage to take back the food. You are not even worthy of a thief!"

It never occurred to me that the young man who was like a rat crossing the street yesterday would actually point his nose at him, and Liu Zongmin jumped up in anger, gnashing his teeth and screaming: "Little bastard, you... "

A cold muzzle hit his head directly, and he turned his head in horror. Adelaine's beautiful face was now ferocious and gloomy like a female ghost, and she forced her words out of her teeth. Squeeze out.

"If you dare to insult His Majesty again, I will kill you!"

If he hadn't confessed, he, Liu Zongmin, wouldn't have appeared here. Seeing Adelaina's gloomy eyes, this 1.9-meter tall man was scared back and muttered resentfully.

"Just for fun, what about it?"

After exhaling, she put the large-caliber revolver back on her belt, and Adelaina's eyes fell on Mao Xing's fitness for the third time, and she questioned very seriously.

"The barbarians in the entire Snake River have betrayed Ming Dynasty. Now that there is hostility everywhere, how can you ensure that the risk of taking back the Snake River Plain will not be less than that of directly raiding Mexico? How can you ensure that these barbarians will not fortify their walls and wipe out the land? All the food burned?"

"I can't guarantee it! But at least, for the Spanish barbarians in Mexico in the far south, I know the tribes on the Snake River better. I know that compared with the Spanish barbarians, these barbarians are more barren and cherish food more. Knowing their habits and their weaknesses, compared to directly raiding Mexico City, I still think it is safer to recapture the Snake River Plain, seize food, and ensure logistics to advance there step by step!"

With shining eyes, Mao Xingjian stared at Adelaina's face, and then fell on the faces of those chief staff officers. Seeing his strong self-confidence, all the staff officers were stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, she lowered her head and began to discuss hastily again, pinching her chin. Adelaine was also thinking about two options, but in Mao Xingjian's anticipation, for a long time, Adelaina was He shook his head solemnly again.

"In view of Your Excellency's recent defeat at the Snake River, the Joint Chiefs of Staff still consider that the risk of raiding the Spaniards in Mexico is less."

Unprecedented disappointment appeared on his face, but this time, Mao Xingjian still didn't let himself down, he just clenched his fists thoughtfully and silently, but seeing his expression, Adelaina suddenly searched for the information in her handsome case. After two clicks, she threw out a short staff made of gold with a lifelike three-legged golden crow engraved on it.

"this is for you!"

After receiving it in his hand in astonishment, Mao Xingjian asked in confusion.

"what is this?"

"The Corps Scepter of the Ninth Firebird Corps of the Imperial Guard!"

Speaking of this, Adelaine paused again, and then she looked a little embarrassed, and hummed in a low voice.

"It's also called the Crown Prince Corps, it's... His Majesty wanted to give it to you a long time ago!"

Looking down at the golden Firebird Golden Crow in his hand, Mao Xingjian froze again for a few seconds, but suddenly, he twisted the scepter hard again, and the brilliant gold was slightly deformed by him... ...

Chapter 818 Returning to the Snake City

If it is said that a person will definitely meet a noble person in his life, Mao Xingjian can be sure that his noble person is Han Xiaomo!

This woman was not of noble birth, nor did she have unexpected talents, she could even be said to be a fool, but it was precisely this stubbornness that made her a quality of gold. She has been blind all her life, and the first time she woke up, she didn't think about herself, instead of crying, she happily went to make supper for Mao Xingjian.

It's just that she promised Sister Changping to take care of his "big nephew"!

Maybe Mao Jue saw this and arranged this girl to be beside Mao Xingjian.

Although she certainly didn't bear as much burden as her own prince, she was able to carry out the meaning of her existence from beginning to end. Then why should he, Mao Xingjian, the majestic prince of the Ming Empire, son of the great emperor Mao Jue, and governor of Rocky Mountain, be so depressed?

I remember that Mao Jue once hummed a song, the one who reined in the precipice was the general, and the one who didn’t rein in the precipice was the king! Last night, he was glad that the only thing he was better than Chongzhen was that he had self-knowledge, but in retrospect, this was Chongzhen’s strong For his own point, no matter how much the Ming Empire fell in his hands, until the end, Chongzhen still stubbornly believed that his way of governing the country was correct! It was the officials who misled him!

Regardless of merits and demerits, if a leader does not even have confidence in himself, how can he lead his subordinates to overcome difficulties and open up a splendid hegemony?

Anyway, Mao Xingjian has nothing to lose! If he returns to Daming like this, even if he inherits his status, he will be regarded as a mindless puppet of flesh and blood. What is the difference between being dead?So he broke into Adelaine's handsome tent again in the second heaven.

And sure enough, things can only come to fruition if they put their minds to it! Holding the golden scepter in his hand, Mao Xingjian can be sure at this moment, perhaps what Adelaina said to make him shut up may be one of Mao Jue's goals, But Mao Jue's expectation for him is definitely not to go back to be a walking dead puppet!

Holding the golden scepter upside down in his right hand, without any follower, Mao Xingjian straightened his waist, swaggered, and rushed straight to the camp of the Ninth Firebird Corps at the northernmost point.

Wow~ The guards of the camp kept their four spears slanted, blocking Mao Xingjian's way, but they didn't turn their eyes. The prince proudly raised his scepter and opened their spears.

"With the scepter of the Corps authorized by the Ministry of War, all generals are summoned to the Central Army to meet the orphans. Those who fail to reach the three-way drum will be punished as lazy soldiers!"

Looking at each other and watching Mao Xingjian passing in front of them with a scepter in hand, several gate guards exchanged awkward looks, and the last one put down his spear and ran away.

The military law of the Ming Dynasty was strict, and the situation was unclear. The two drums of the Chinese army had just finished beating. Ten regiment commanders and ten staff officers hurried over, leaving everything at hand. Mao Xingjian, these officers were still in a mess like those guards, but there was not a single one who bowed down.

The shadow of a famous tree, Mao Xingjian’s own glorious achievements have been spread all over these days. Who would follow a cowardly general? He hesitated for a while. The guy with silk glasses, who looked more like a playboy and more like a soldier, was pushed out, and he bowed politely first.

"Congratulations to the Crown Prince for visiting the Ninth Corps for inspection! The Crown Prince is here, and we are truly radiant!"
