There was only one horse standing in front of the post house.
Pei Boxi quickly led the people and greeted him out of the main entrance.
"Your Majesty Pei Boqi..."
Before he could finish speaking, the knight on the horse said coldly, "General Longhu of the Ming Dynasty, the general of the army is safe..."
Hearing this, Pei Boxi was shocked.
This name was very familiar to him.
One of the adopted sons of Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, General Su Wei, a trusted confidant of Emperor Yongchang of the Ming Dynasty.
"I have met General Ping..."
"The envoy is exempt from any courtesy!" Ping An's voice was still cold, "I have been ordered to pick you up!"
As he spoke, he suddenly grinned, showing his white teeth, "Go and see my Ming Dynasty Tiger Ben!"
~
Suburbs of Beijing, school grounds.
In the distance, you can see the flags all over the sky.
There was a chilling atmosphere between heaven and earth, as if even the scorching sun had to hide behind the clouds to avoid its sharp edge.
Pei Boxi was also a man of both civil and military talents in Annan in the past. He even took charge of the imperial army of Emperor Chen Shao, the leader of the Chen Dynasty of Annan in the previous generation.
But the moment he entered the military camp, he immediately realized that the Annan Forbidden Army under his command in the past was compared to the Ming Dynasty Tiger Ben now.
It's the difference between a three-year-old naughty boy and a seven-foot strong man.
Looking around, countless armored warriors lined up in neat lines, standing silently under the scorching sun.
Even though the scorching sun heated up their armor, none of the tens of thousands of people moved.
Boom....
There was a sudden sound of gunfire.
The horse under Pei Boqi's crotch seemed to have not been trained by the sound of cannons, and suddenly became restless and agitated.
Law, law, law.....
The war horse neighed, its feet flew into the air, and its body twisted uneasily.
Pei Boxi was about to be thrown off his horse.
But out of nowhere, a hand suddenly grabbed the war horse's mane and pushed it down.
Everything was happening in the blink of an eye, but Pei Boxi saw it very clearly.
Before his horse went crazy, it was forcefully held back by Ping An.
"This beast is not good!"
Ping An smiled coldly, "When I turn around, I will give you two good horses as a gift!"
Pei Boqi couldn't help but comfort the war horse and said, "Actually, I belong to the civil service, and the war horse is dispensable to me..."
"Even if you don't go into battle, you still need a good horse!" Ping An said again, "Otherwise, I will send you back to Jiaozhi the next day... I will walk back!"
Suddenly, Pei Boxi's heart skipped a beat again.
Yesterday, the two most important ministers of the Ming Empire unabashedly expressed their desire to annex Annan in front of him.
And now, this general of the Ming Empire deliberately referred to Annan as Jiaozhi in front of him.
Jiaozhi is a taboo word in Annan.
Because in the eyes of the Annan people, those thousands of years of being enslaved by the Central Plains dynasty were a great shame.
~~
"Ha ha!"
Hearty laughter came from the side, and Li Jinglong came in high spirits wearing a python robe.
"Your Majesty, please come to the stage with me. How about you take a look at my great Ming Dynasty tiger?"
Before Pei Boxi could speak, Zhu Gaochi, who was dressed in a dragon robe, smiled slowly like Maitreya Buddha, "Your Majesty, this kind of dignity is not much!"
~~
It was obviously to show off his martial arts, but he said it was to show off his dignity.
Pei Boxi knew it well, but he was unable to refute it because he knew that from the moment he came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he became a puppet.
A puppet at the mercy of the Ming Empire.
The Ming Empire did not need him to cry and complain, and it did not need him to narrate the tragic events of the Annan and Chen dynasties.
I just need him to be obedient....
Help Daming lead the way...
Help Daming calm people's hearts...
~
Pei Boxi's steps were a little frivolous, and he followed the others to the general ordering platform.
From the empty general stand, you can see everything on the school grounds clearly and have a panoramic view.
"start...."
Suddenly, Ping An gave an order.
~~
Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong.
The cadence is the war drum.
woo woo woo woo..
The long and frightening thing is the horn.
Then, the smoke and dust billowed...
"But the cavalry?" Pei Boxi asked subconsciously.
Li Jinglong stood next to Pei Boxi and said, "The elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty are all on the nine sides. Among them, Liaodong, Gansu, and Ningxia are the leading ones. The cavalry in the Beijing camp are all Yulin..." After saying that, he paused and smiled again.
He said, "Is it a musketeer?"
Pei Boxi was stunned for a moment subconsciously, and then he saw two phalanxes of five hundred people walking in order in the smoke and dust, walking in front of him in a straight line from side to side.
Then, I heard the horn change.
"Raise the gun..."
boom!
In an instant, there was another uniform movement.
The firecrackers, shining with a dazzling luster, were held on the shoulders by the soldiers.
Annan was good at using firearms, and Annan's army was also equipped with a large number of fire blunderbuss, pellet guns, and small-mouth blunderbuss.
But Pei Boxi had never seen such a firecracker.
He looked greedily at the weapons in the hands of the Ming soldiers, which reflected an almost blue light, and the long barrel... There was also a half-meter-long Mitsubishi bayonet hanging from the muzzle.
....
"put!"
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, smoke and dust swept across.
Standing on the general stage, my eyes were filled with smoke and faint firelight.
My ears were already buzzing, and my whole body was shaking with the sound of gunshots...
In Pei Boxi's sight, a group of soldiers finished firing their guns, stepped back, and took out the pellets and gunpowder from the leather pouch at their waist...
To be continued...
