I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

Zhu Zhangui shrugged.

"I don't care, as long as you are happy."

Zhu Zhangui didn't force it either.

This kind of thing is just joking. If I really hope that Zhu Gaoxu will be a vassal at home honestly in the future, it is better to count on the Bachelor of Baimao Pavilion to join the cabinet to handle the government affairs.

"Hahaha…"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed suddenly, pointed at Zhu Zhangui and said proudly to the surrounding generals.

"How powerful is my nephew, even horses have to listen to him, hahahaha..."

There was a burst of echoing dry laughter from around, and no one mentioned what happened just now.

"You two bastards, talk nonsense in battle, get ready for battle, the cavalry of Arutai is about to be dispatched."

Just when everyone was laughing and speechless in embarrassment, the old man's roar sounded from the walkie-talkie between the two.

Zhu Zhangui and Zhu Gaoxu glanced at each other, then cupped their hands.

"Second uncle (eldest nephew) is dangerous on the battlefield, take care!"

After finishing speaking, the two turned their horses' heads and led their subordinates to their respective teams.

Before Zhu Zhangui came back, the Three Thousand Battalion had around 1 people, slightly more than the Shenji Battalion.

The reason for such a small number is that the imperial court has no money and cannot afford so many horses.

The configuration of the Three Thousand Battalion is one man and two horses, and if you want to go on an expedition, you will need one man and three horses.

These war horses are all uncles, and they eat better than ordinary people.

According to the calculation of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the grain and grass consumption of a horse is about [-] to [-] taels per year. If you get sick and add medicinal materials, it is enough to buy a new horse.

There are a total of 4 war horses under the name of the 50 Battalion, and the annual consumption of grain and other consumption is guaranteed to be [-] taels of silver.

In addition to the cavalry's salary and the maintenance of armor and other consumption, the more than 1 people in the 100 battalion alone will spend nearly [-] million taels of silver every year.

The old man had repeatedly wanted to increase the establishment of the 2 battalion, and wanted to expand it to 3 to [-] people.

But they were all stopped by Zhu Pangpang and the others.

The imperial court is so poor that it still expands its troops. If it continues, the officials from the crown prince to the household department will all go out to beg for food.

Militarism does not have this kind of gameplay.

Later when Zhu Zhangui came back, after the court had money, the old man felt that the court's waist was hardened, so he brought up the matter of expanding the [-] battalion.

But still get objected.

In the words of Zhu Pangpang and others, there are many places to spend money. Although you are the emperor, you can't be so willful, so you can't save some money for the court.

Later, the old man broke his mouth and almost knelt down to his son, so the number of the three thousand battalion was expanded to 2.

The old man who fought with the grassland for half his life, his affection for the cavalry surpassed all arms.

Even the Navy, which is very popular in Daming now, actually only ranks second in his heart.

The disaster of the ancestors and the will of the father's generation have always left a thorn in the old man's heart.

That is to wipe out the forces on the grassland and completely solve the northern threat to future generations.

But without cavalry, infantry alone cannot control the grassland at all.

Building a fort is one way, but it takes time and effort, and it may not be possible to hold it.

It has always been the greatest wish of the old man to have a large-scale cavalry army that can sweep the entire grassland at any time.

So some time ago Zhu Zhangui wanted 10 battalions, and he gave the condition of [-] cavalry, and he directly agreed in his heart.

As long as Zhu Zhangui really gives him 10 cavalry, let alone [-] battalions, the fat son's crown prince can be considered.

In fact, the old man didn't know that Zhu Zhangui's real intention to expand the cavalry for the imperial court was to expand the territory to the Western Regions and the North.

If it is temporarily impossible to invest troops overseas quickly, then focus on the mainland.

Now at the Artisan Camp, the steam engine has already undergone initial research. I believe that with his guidance, a steam locomotive will be built soon.

With locomotives, train tracks can be laid.

Once there is a train, the ability to project Ming troops will definitely be greatly enhanced.

The army is coming day and night, and if any place dares to rebel, it will be too boring.

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly, the horns of the Tatar Army rang out.

Zhu Zhangui looked through the binoculars and saw that the enemy's cavalry regiment had begun to move slowly.

It turned out that Arutai's shield car didn't play much role in the infantry battle just now.

Not far from the Ming army's front line, it was destroyed by concentrated fire from long-range artillery and artillery in front of the infantry.

Then the Fifth Army Battalion cooperated with the Shenji Battalion on the left and right wings, and pressed the Tatar infantry regiment back again and again.

Seeing that the infantry regiment was a little bit overwhelmed, Alutai took the lead and let the cavalry who had been on standby for a long time launch an attack.

"Once!"

Zhu Zhangui pulled out his sword and pointed forward.

"Boys, many of you have been with me to raid the camp of the Oara people and the camp of Mahamu!"

"Now that several years have passed, tell me if your bravery is still there!"

"kill!"

Thousands of cavalry behind Zhu Zhangui raised their weapons and roared loudly.

Those cavalrymen who had followed Zhu Zhangui for thousands of miles had fanaticism in their eyes.

They remembered the rush at dawn that day, and they remembered the heroic spirit of facing the enemy's swords, swords and halberds, and directly rushing through them.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."

The battle drums for the attack from the rear sounded slowly, the knife in Zhu Zhangui's hand was raised forward, the horse under his crotch moved forward slightly, and the ten thousand cavalry behind him followed closely.

The sound of cannons in the ear, the sound of gunshots and shouts of killing gradually disappeared, and all eyes were on the Tatar cavalry slowly approaching from the opposite side.

Three miles, two and a half miles...

When the distance between the two sides was less than a kilometer, Zhu Zhangui slashed forward with his saber, and let out an angry killing roar with the loudest voice!

"kill!"

Chapter 244: Being an official is to get promoted and make a fortune.

"Boom...Boom..."

The galloping horseshoes are like thunder from the nine heavens.

In addition to the large-scale infantry battles in the war, the most shocking scene is undoubtedly the cavalry charge.

Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

There are over ten thousand cavalry, like a huge wave, the oppressive momentum, the killing intent soaring to the sky, makes the heart of the person facing it feel as if it is being grasped by the palm of the hand, and it feels like it will be crushed at any time.

2 against 6 enemies.

Such a huge gap in the battle, not any general has the courage to charge.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and you are facing a prairie man who grew up on horseback. The odds are really hard to predict.

Zhu Zhangui took the lead and charged forward. Behind him, Qian Qianhu and Hu Yu, holding banners with Zhu and Ming characters in their hands, followed closely.

It's close.

For cavalry, the kilometer distance is just a blink of an eye.

The distance between the two parties quickly increased to 200 meters, and they were so close that they could see each other's faces.

But what is strange is that the two parties did not collide with each other, but pulled the horse with a tacit understanding, and collectively turned left.

The Mongols are good at cavalry and archery. Without the follow of heavy cavalry, they will not charge cavalry against cavalry unless it is a last resort.

Whether it is facing the original Western white pigs or the soldiers of the masses, when facing the enemy cavalry, they always use cavalry to consume the opponent's strength, and then the heavy cavalry presses up.

As descendants of the Mongols, the Tatars also inherited this.

Although they have an advantage in numbers, the excellent armor of the Ming army is not in vain, and there are not many heavy cavalry on their side.If the two sides choose to hedge, even if the Tatars win, there will be a lot of casualties, so they chose to evade the enemy by riding, shooting and flying kites like their predecessors. After confirming that the opponent has little resistance, the heavy cavalry Press it again.

Coincidentally, the Ming army on the opposite side thought so too.

The number of people on our side does not have an advantage, and a strong charge is the next strategy.

Although their riding and shooting skills are far behind the opponent's, they have guns.

After several years of equipment, the [-] battalion of cavalry is almost equipped with two twin-lock flintlock pistols.

The new fixed ammunition revolvers were only distributed to officers due to the low production volume.

The range of the Tatar cavalry shooting arrows on horseback is at most 50 meters for the most powerful archers, and most of the shooting ranges are around 30 to [-] meters.

Coincidentally, the double-barreled muskets of the Ming army are also within this distance!

In the end, whoever can win depends on who can't bear the opponent's shooting first, or whose horse is exhausted first.

The Ming army was divided into two parts, and the Tatars were also divided into two parts due to their large number.

Some of the more than 3 people are responsible for annihilating the Ming cavalry, and the other 3 people are divided into several small groups, responsible for attacking the Ming infantry battalion, the artillery battalion that is rumbling, and the central command waiting for an opportunity to attack the old man tower.

Zhu Zhangui didn't worry about the Tatar cavalry sent out to attack the infantry. The old man has fought all his life, so this small battle can't help him.

Zhu's most important task now is to get rid of his Tatar cavalry who are chasing him and trying to surround him many times.

The two sides walked side by side, getting farther and farther away from the main battlefield.

The two sides kept a distance of 100 meters, and neither of them approached each other first.

The ideas of both parties are very simple, that is to consume the horsepower of the other side first, and wait for the other side's horse to run out of strength, and then rely on the other side to harvest the heads.

The Tatars all rode prairie pony horses. Although the horses were small in size, they were extremely durable and could run with people on their backs. The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty in the past could not compare with them.

It's a pity that the Tatars didn't know that the horses of the [-] Battalion had been replaced. Although this kind of donkey-like horse had no outstanding advantages, it was very comprehensive, and endurance was one of them.

After the two sides ran for several miles, the Tatar horses began to pant.

The Tatar general who was in charge of leading this team looked at the Ming cavalry walking side by side, his eyes widened.

This is wrong, when did the horses of the Ming army run so well?

Running like this in previous battles, the Ming army's horses had already lost their legs.

But according to his observation, although the horses on the opposite side were a little heavy, compared with them, they were much better.

Hey, what kind of horse is this? Why does it look like a donkey?

At this point, the Tatar general noticed the difference in the opposite horse.

He had seen the war horses of the Ming army before, some were bought from the grasslands, and some were cultivated by himself.

Although it looks good, it can only be regarded as mediocre, far worse than the dwarf mules on the grassland.

He didn't pay attention when he charged just now, thinking that the opposite horse was the same horse as before.

But after a closer look, he found something was wrong.

The horse on the opposite side has a uniform big donkey face, big eyes, and a very beautiful body muscle outline.

Looking at the fur, the beating muscles, and the strong figure, the general who grew up with horses can tell at a glance that this is a high-quality horse.

Looking at the ranks of the Ming army, the Tatar general felt a twitch in his heart.

Damn it, which bastard sold it to Ming people. Do these southern barbarians know how to ride a horse? It's a waste.

"Woooooooo..."

Realizing that the opponent's horse was stronger than his own, the cavalry general no longer hesitated, picked up the small horn and blew his cheeks vigorously, and issued a formal order to fight.

The Tatar cavalry who received the order began to slowly approach the Ming army, took off their bows and arrows, and got ready to shoot.

Zhu Zhangui, who led the cavalry to race horses with the opponent, saw that the opponent was the first to lose his temper, and gave the order to fight with a sneer.

The Ming army on the side of the Tatar cavalry is Zhu Zhangui's guard and Qian Qianhu's cavalry.
