The emperor is embarrassed

After Sazar's victory in Datong, he withstood the first surprise attack of the imperial army.

In fact, what Yang Yutong said was quite right, the new emperor was indeed cunning.

Not only is he cunning, but the new emperor also let him see new weapons and mines that Saza had never seen before.

Of course, the landmines of this era cannot be compared with those of later generations, but the sound and lethality of gunpowder are enough to startle a horse under its crotch, and then the officers and soldiers of the imperial capital will slash and kill.

This is also a good time for Ming Zhan, winter is coming, and the time of Chinese New Year is here, and the common people like to set off fireworks and firecrackers.At this time, the Tatars came, yes, the year will not pass.

Every workshop that makes firecrackers, please hand over all the gunpowder.

These days, gunpowder is not very lethal, but the noise is loud enough.

An earth-shattering explosion. In fact, what Ming Zhan asked Xu Bingtang to study in the past was landmines. Now this kind of mobile detonation has been made, and it can be detonated if it can.Ming Zhan wanted to get a TNT, but he didn't graduate from the Department of Chemistry, so he really didn't have that ability.

At this time and at that time, people are about to come to the city, and it doesn't matter whether he is lethal or not.These landmines were also produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry day and night, and they were all buried in the places set by the Marquis of Yongning.

The general who led the army this time was called Huo Yuanshan. Anyone who fought the war knew that the vanguard was leading the way, exploring and exploring, and cannon fodder.Behind it is logistics, carrying some food and grass and so on.In the middle, that's where the Chinese army is.

The Marquis of Yongning arranged in this way, there is a special death squad here waiting to lead the landmines, and when the thunders sound, those who lie in ambush at the front have already waited for three days, and the 1 people brought by Huo Yuanshan immediately rushed into Tatar The army doesn't have to kill for long, after killing for half an hour, they hurried to the imperial capital.

Why is this?

There are few landmines, not so many.

What's more, it is now a semi-finished product, and its lethality is barely stronger than that of firecrackers.

Ming Zhan really didn't expect the Tatars to break through the gate, so he was at a loss. He felt that if the Tatars really let the Tatars drive straight in, what would be the face of an emperor!At this time, Saza came in aggressively. Although Ming Zhan put on a posture of defending the imperial capital, the people underneath were not sure.

Therefore, at this time, Ming Zhan needs a victory.

However, it must be said that Zhan was very lucky.

This time the landmine did not kill Saza, but sent King Usai to the west.

Moreover, King User died unjustly. He was not killed by the bombing, but because he frightened the horse and fell off the horse, and then he was trampled to death because of the stampede of the frightened horse in the army.

Huo Yuanshan led people into the Tatar army, taking advantage of the chaos in the Tatar army, they fought fiercely for half a day.Seeing that the lethality of the Tatar troops had recovered, Huo Yuanshan led his troops to retreat towards the imperial capital.

Originally, the quality of cavalry in the imperial capital was far inferior to that of the Tatars.Like the Tatars who have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, if they chase and kill Huo Yuanshan, it is not certain who will win and who will lose.But the key point is that the Usai king died, and the [-] Usai army had no leader, and they were patronizing and crying for their own king, so how could they have the heart to chase and kill Huo Yuanshan?

Saza wants to chase after him, but King Usai is not his father, so he will die if he dies.He suffered a great loss from Ming Zhan and wanted to get it back, but in the end Saza's horse was grabbed by Chen Jingzhong, and Chen Jingzhong shouted anxiously, "Khan, beware of deceit ahead!"

Saza was so angry that he raised his knife and cursed, "The Han people are cunning, the Han people are cunning, they dare not fight me with real swords and guns! They only use these treacherous schemes!"

At this time, Yang Yutong was willing to see the Tatars defeated, and he also persuaded him, "Khan, this is the gunpowder of the Han people. What King Chen said is right, we have to be careful, and don't fall into the emperor's order to divert the tiger away from the mountain." On the occasion!"

At this time, Chen Jingzhong saw that Saza had no intention of chasing him anymore, and said, "Unfortunately, King Usai died in the army. Khan, go and have a look. I'll go to reorganize the army."

This matter really needs Saza to come forward, nodded, and went to the User tribe.Chen Jingzhong personally went to check the soldiers and horses, how many were injured, how many died, and how many were left.

Before arriving at the imperial capital, Chen Jingzhong knew that the Han emperor must have been prepared to fight when he was attacked by surprise.

However, for the Tatars, this is not good news.

In the imperial capital, Ming Zhan ushered in a piece of good news after Datong's defeat.

Huo Yuanshan, who went out for a three-day raid, came back, took out 1 people, and Huo Yuanshan brought back [-].

This is already a pretty good result.

Huo Yuanshan reported, "By taking advantage of your Majesty's magical soldiers, I entered the Tatar army in one fell swoop and intercepted and killed about 5000 Tatar vanguard troops. Your Majesty is wise, and I am fortunate that I did not disgrace my life."

Ming Zhan first ordered Huo Yuanshan to give him a seat, and said to Li Pingzhou and others, "This time the landmine gunpowder has not yet been completed, and it is far from reaching the power I expected. It is just a small test. This thing can be developed to this level, thanks to Bingtang. Xu Xiang, you teach your son well."

At this critical moment when the soldiers were about to fall into the city, Xu San was overjoyed. This, this was made by his son.Alas, the carpentry work is not in vain, and he has a radiant face as an old man!Xu San hurriedly said, "It's all thanks to His Majesty's insightful eyes and knowledge. To tell you the truth, that kid has been with me for nearly 20 years, and I haven't seen anything promising about him. Now, he is what he is today, thanks to His Majesty's advice and guidance." achievement."

This is also Xu San's sincere words. He used to feel worried when he saw Xu Bingtang, but when Xu Bingtang passed the Jinshi examination, it would really embarrass Xu Sansan for the rest of his life, not to mention how embarrassing it is.Unexpectedly, stupid people have stupid blessings. This son who loves carpentry work the most, has made great contributions to the country in the hands of Ming Zhan.

Xu San was very happy, and he was even thinking about waiting for the relief of the imperial capital this time. Now that his son has a reputation, he can be said to be a daughter-in-law from a well-known family.

What Xu Xiang thought was far away, Ming Zhan had conferred Huo Yuanshan the title of Xibo Jing under great joy, and for the real conferment of a noble, Huo Yuanshan was tearfully grateful and thanked the master Long En.

On this day, when Ming Zhan went to inspect the city wall as usual, the news of Huo Yuanshan's Feng Bo had spread throughout the three armies, and everyone envied him.Ming Zhan said in a loud voice, "Soldiers, be a hero in life, and a ghost in death! Defend our country, protect our wives and children, protect our people, meritorious deeds and feudal lords are in sight! A man should do this!"

Huo Yuanshan's victory was not just a simple victory, and Ming Zhan immediately bestowed a title on Huo Yuanshan, which also aroused all the generals' desire to win.

Being a military officer is different from being a civil servant.

In itself, the promotion of military officers is not faster than that of civil servants.

Especially in peaceful years, when the world is peaceful and there is no battle to fight, it means that the soldiers have nothing to do.If you have no meritorious service, how can you be promoted to a Marquis?Nowadays, if you look at the emperors who have titles, 100% of them are all ancestors with military merits.

Now that the Tatar soldiers are pressing down on the imperial capital, people are panicking, so they are just afraid.Although Ming Zhan must patrol the city in a soft sedan every day to boost morale, but, to be honest, there is no one who is not afraid of death.

Although everyone saw the emperor, it was really exciting.

However, when it comes to war, your emperor doesn't have to fight at all, it's us who have to fight with our flesh and blood!

No matter how nice Ming Zhan said, it basically belongs to the category of standing and talking without back pain!

Words are not enough to cheer up, Huo Yuanshan's victory and the rewards he received really made the defenders' blood boil!

The Tatars are not invincible. Look, Huo Yuanshan led 1 people. Although he sacrificed 2000 people, he killed 5000 Tatars.Furthermore, Huo Yuanshan was originally only the second-in-command under Yongdinghou's command.Back then, Marquis Yongning wanted to launch a surprise attack, but no one wanted to go, so it was Huo Yuanshan's turn to come forward.

It's amazing to be in this early stage, so rich and honorable!

Huo Yuanshan, who was chatting and laughing with them a few days ago, has now turned into Jing Xibo, how can people not be jealous and envious!

At this time, many people regretted it again and again, thinking, how could it be that they were not the ones who carried out the surprise attack back then.

Most people only saw Huo Yuanshan's wealth, but did not see the crisis Huo Yuanshan was facing in his surprise attack.Not to mention anything else, as long as Saza doesn't lose his mind and obeys Yang Yutong's decision to besiege the imperial capital by detour, then Huo Yuanshan may face another ending.

Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, nothing more.

Huo Yuanshan inspired the enthusiasm of the generals in the imperial capital to take the initiative to attack the Tatar soldiers. The Marquis of Yongning sent the assassin to scout the situation of the Tatars. When he came back, he said that the Tatars were crying and attending a funeral.

After thinking about it, Ming Zhan laughed, "It seems that an important person in the Tatar army has died." He was thinking in his heart, it would be great if Saza died!In the beginning, Ming Zhan bestowed Huo Yuanshan the Boss entirely because he had no choice but to boost morale from all aspects.Still thinking about being wronged, who knew that Huo Yuanshan was so capable and directly killed important figures in the Tatar army.

The earl's position is not so bad.

Saza learned the lesson from King User, but he didn't dare to approach the imperial capital again.

Moreover, the death of King User was not without some benefits in Saza's view.Originally, King User did not have as many soldiers as he did. Saza had [-] troops under his command, while King User sent [-] troops.So, Sazar is in the lead.What's more, King User is scheming, and Saza's subordinates are the vanguards in everything.How many times has Saza quarreled with him, it is really at odds with the people.It all depended on Chen Jingzhong to reconcile with King Usai's younger brother, King Zhuo Sai, otherwise, the two would have turned their heads long ago.

When King User died, King User's younger brother, King Djoser, succeeded him.King Zhuo Sai had just taken over, and it was at this time again. Of course, when his brother died, he became the top leader, and he must be a little happy in his heart.However, King User died in the army after all, so at this time, the whole army of User was passionate and united with the enemy, determined to avenge King User.

The Usai people's fighting enthusiasm has been improved by a level, which is naturally not a bad thing for Saza.

At this time, after this defeat, Saza had a long memory. He immediately regarded Yang Yutong as a guest of honor, listened to Yang Yutong's opinion, and constantly sent scouts to explore the way, slowing down and moving forward slowly.That kind of caution, wishing he could take a step, he glanced left and right to see if there was an ambush, and then looked at the ground under his feet for signs of ground mines being turned over.Although Sazar didn't know what a mine was, he suffered a great loss. He didn't want to die from gunpowder like King User.

However, along the way, there was no ambush or anything.

Finally, Saza arrived at the imperial capital.

This day, the sky is a little cloudy.

At this time, the weather in the north was already very cold, and there were bits and pieces of ice floating in the sky.

Saza also saw the imperial army who warmly welcomed him, brand new armor, sharp knives and guns, orderly officers and soldiers, and those pairs of eyes that wished to tear Saza apart.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for people in the imperial capital to like Saza, and it is impossible to show a happy smile when they see him.However, very few people from the Celestial Dynasty showed such a wolf-like face.

This is due to the propaganda of His Majesty the Emperor. At this time, apart from fighting, there are no other government affairs.Ming Zhan organized all the men in the city, all over the age of 15 and under the age of 40, to serve as reserve soldiers.This is not only because of the lack of prepared troops, but also to maintain the peace and tranquility of the imperial capital.When people were panicking, Ming Zhan was worried that there would be chaos in the imperial capital, and in this day and age, only men can cause chaos.Therefore, Ming Zhan organized all the young and middle-aged people in the imperial capital, and put them together in an organized and disciplined manner.

Anyone who wants to cause trouble will be killed immediately.

After killing a few early birds, the situation in the entire imperial capital calmed down!

Ming Zhan's move was not incomprehensible, it tickled Shanqi Hou's teeth, he still had a lot of back moves, and in the end all the people in his hands were conscripted away.And I don't know why his mother's little emperor is so bad, he doesn't let people you know well together.Everyone is divided into separate battalions, and when you look at things, you don't know anyone.

How can this create a fart!

There is no evidence at the moment, and at this juncture, Ming Zhan does not want to kill the clan, but he has long been prepared for the Shanqihou family.Even if Lord Shanqi wants to poison Ming Zhan or something.Ming Zhan ordered him to have a meal every day, and every mouthful of porridge would be divided into half a bowl for Shan Qihou.

It's not that Ming Zhan is not afraid of death, on the contrary, he is terribly afraid of death.

However, Ming Zhan has a very bachelor spirit.That is, the big deal is that everyone will die together.

Tossing like this, Shanqihou really has nothing to do except cursing Ming Zhan in his heart every day for choking to death when drinking water, eating, walking, wrestling and falling to death.

Ming Zhan is still as stable as Mount Tai.

People are all approaching the city, and although the Celestial Dynasty has a vast territory, its military strength is by no means comparable to that of the Tatars.But it is strange that the people of the Celestial Dynasty are instinctively afraid of the Tatars.Moreover, the war between China and Tatar has a long history, but there are many defeats and few victories.Generally speaking, if you defend the northwest line well and don't let people enter the pass, this is called victory.

Therefore, the people of the Celestial Dynasty have a natural sense of fear of the Tatars in terms of force.

In layman's terms, it means lack of self-confidence.

For lack of self-confidence, Ming Zhan has nothing to do.Officials are talented and promoted to Jinshi. These famous people do not need to participate in the reserve service. Ming Zhan asked them to publicize the belief that the Celestial Empire will win every day.Every morning after dinner in the army, within a quarter of an hour, Ming Zhan assigned these people a section of barracks, and asked them to publicize the victory of the Celestial Dynasty. This is the errand.

No one can resist this kind of daily chatter, coupled with Ming Zhan's confidence in the war, the generosity of the title and reward, and the victory brought by Huo Yuanshan.

This series of preparations made the soldiers of the imperial capital show no less morale when facing the Tatars today!

Ming Zhan stood on the high city wall, dressed in silver fox fur, and looked at the Tatar army with empty eyes, only to see a dense mass of human heads.Ming Zhan turned his head and asked his son Yongninghou, "Uncle, do you know which one is Saza?"

Yongning Hou Xin said, I have never been to the northwest, how can I know Saza.

Without waiting for Marquis Yongning to answer, Ming Zhan stretched out his hand and pointed away, "That's just a fool." The courtiers around Ming Zhan were all surprised, most of them had never seen Saza, and at the age of the emperor, they had never been to the Northwest. Ah, how did you know the new Tatar Khan?

Unexpectedly, with Ming Zhan's finger, Saza in the Tatar army raised his neck and shouted at Ming Zhan. What Saza shouted was, "Little Emperor, I'm coming—"

These two people, Ming Zhan pointed and Saza shouted, they really seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection, but Ming Zhan said that sentence first.Being so close to Ming Zhan, Li Pingzhou couldn't help laughing out loud.

Even the stern Marquis Yongning couldn't help but curl his lips.

Unexpectedly, Ming Zhan put his hands together on his lips, pretending to be a megaphone, and yelled loudly, "Saza, fuck your mother—"
