Datong Town.
Wang Mingyang, who was controlling the troops in the northern border, was looking at a giant topographical map. As a pragmatist, Wang Mingyang found that the military affairs in Datong Town were ineffective and extremely lax after he arrived in Datong Town.
Whether it is troops, horses, or all kinds of drawings required for marching and fighting, they are useless.
What makes Wang Mingyang even more angry is that there is no latest topographic map in the entire Datong Town.
The earliest map was made after the Mongol people went south to the Central Plains and besieged the capital, and the officials who reorganized the imperial court sent people to make it.
In other words, this so-called latest map is actually a map from more than ten years ago.
It makes people feel extremely angry!
Therefore, when Wang Mingyang came to Datong Town, he raised his butcher knife against some people.
All those corrupt officials were killed by Wang Mingyang, and their blood flowed like rivers.
As for those businessmen who enriched their own pockets and even tampered with ordnance, they were severely punished by Wang Mingyang.
Anyway, Wang Mingyang doesn't think about the opportunity to join the cabinet in the future. If that's the case, why not just kill him?
As for those officials who were killed so timidly that their blood flowed like rivers, the businessmen also called Wang Mingyang the "Butcher King."
Even during the period when Wang Mingyang took office, he suffered no fewer than ten assassinations.
These businessmen and officials who had enriched their own pockets did not welcome Wang Mingyang's arrival. It could even be said that they hated him to the bone.
It's sad to think about it. Wang Mingyang came to this northern border to protect the country of Dasheng.
Naturally, this country also contains these scum.
But these scum, without exception, all want to get rid of Wang Mingyang and then quickly.
"The northern defense line is in vain!"
"If things continue like this, the northern barbarians will send their troops southward, and the vast Central Plains will be defenseless and unstoppable..."
"If hundreds of millions of living beings were trampled under the iron hooves of the northern barbarians!"
"How many people can survive?"
"At that time, how many inches of land in the world will be able to give us the people of Dasheng and give us the Han people a foothold?"
Looking at the terrain map in front of him, Wang Mingyang, who is the Superintendent of the Military and Horse Division of Datong Town, sighed.
Even an outstanding person like him would be unable to make the northern defense line airtight in a short period of time.
What Wang Mingyang can rely on right now may be the Qi Jiajun and Yu Jiajun he brought from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas!
As local armies, the Qi Jiajun and Yu Jiajun performed extremely well in the battle against the pirates.
Many pirates were so frightened that they were killed by Qi Jiajun and Yu Jiajun that they did not dare to enter Dasheng Kingdom's waters.
Its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the elite border troops.
Looking at the so-called northern defense line now, Wang Mingyang didn't even think that these wine-bag and rice-bag soldiers in the northern border could be compared with the Qi Jiajun and Yu Jiajun.
Not to mention fighting those prairie barbarians who fought out under extremely harsh circumstances.
Wang Mingyang was a little lucky, but for his persistence and Zhang Julu, the chief and assistant minister, who lost his temper in the court.
There is no way that the Qi Jiajun and the Yu Jiajun would be allowed to follow them to this corrupt northern border.
With them in hand, he at least has a trump card in his hand.
"Master Governor!"
"Master Governor!!!" An extremely panicked voice came from afar.
All he saw was a soldier trotting towards him.
"Why are you in such a panic!" Seeing the soldier's panic, Wang Mingyang scolded with some dissatisfaction.
"Master Governor..."
"No...no, I'm not panicking..."
"It's the Tatars, the Tatars are on their knees!"
"Jiacheng Pass, Luoyuan Pass, Zhenghe Pass, Changsheng Pass..."
"These passes were attacked by the Tatars at the same time. Two passes have already been breached by the Tatars..."
Hearing the soldier's extremely nervous voice, Wang Mingyang did not panic too much.
He just frowned tightly, and then asked the soldier: "Do you know the number of those Tatars?"
"I don't know!"
"Who is the leader?!"
“My subordinates don’t know!!”
Wang Mingyang was furious when he heard this. He slapped the table hard, and then yelled: "I don't know this, I don't know that!"
"Who is the person responsible for detecting the enemy's situation?"
"You can't do it with a bag of wine and food!"
When Wang Mingyang yelled like this, the soldiers started to fight.
It is said that the governor is a butcher and a living king of hell.
What if he gets angry and kills himself directly?
Thinking of this, the soldier became even more panicked.
"It's Master Zhang!"
"It's Mr. Zhang!!" The soldier quickly knelt down on the ground and said to Wang Mingyang.
"Come here!!" Wang Mingyang shouted, and immediately several personal guards with sharp blades came out.
"Here, sir!" the guards armed with sharp blades shouted at the same time.
"go!"
"Catch that drunkard, Mr. Zhang!"
"Rectify the law on the spot!"
"Ask General Qi to send out scouts. I want to know how many Tatars there are!"
"Who is their coach?" Wang Mingyang looked at the guards and ordered loudly.
"yes!"
"grown ups!"
After receiving the order, these personal guards quickly turned around and left.
As for Wang Mingyang, his eyes returned to this topographic map again.
"Last year, one of the grassland barbarians was completely unified by a character named Kublai Cheng!"
"That person is said to be of golden blood, the most noble blood on the grassland!"
"He is the son of Changshengtian, the destined master of the grassland!"
Having said this, Wang Mingyang stroked his beard and continued, "This man is a rare tyrant. He married the Tuzhen tribe. Since then, the two ethnic groups have become the biggest threat to our Central Plains dynasty!
"
"They actually came together!"
Wang Mingyang sneered and glanced at the Liaodong area guarded by brother Li Zisong and his father.
Tu Zhenren's living area is just above the Liaodong area.
Only a figure like Li Zisong's father could sit in Liaodong and shut out Tu Zhenren.
Perhaps it was because he saw the decisive response of the Central Plains Dynasty and felt that he could not fight against the Central Plains Dynasty.
That's why the Tuzhen people chose to marry with the grassland barbarians to deal with the Central Plains dynasty together.
Whether it is Ku Bicheng, the leader of the newly unified grassland barbarians, or the young but ambitious Nurhaer of the Tuzhen tribe, they are both unparalleled heroes.
Just dealing with one of them is already a bit difficult.
Now that the two people are cooperating, the Central Plains Dynasty is facing greater pressure.
Fortunately, the Central Plains Dynasty had the chief minister Zhang Julu sitting in charge, and the pressure on the grassland barbarian leader Ku Bi Cheng and the Tuzhen leader Nur Haer was breathless.
But how long can Zhang Shoufu sit at the center of power of the dynasty?
What would happen if the little emperor took charge?
Can the little emperor be able to suppress these two powerful men?
Wang Mingyang is not sure and doesn't want to imagine.
Perhaps the grassland barbarians and Tuzhen tribesmen are behind the voices of "defeating Zhang" that are constantly circulating in the capital!
Wang Mingyang knew that Zhang Shoufu had tried his best. He was trying to do this before he was getting old and was about to leave the court or even enter the grave.
Do one last thing for Dasheng Kingdom.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Mingyang felt that the pressure on his shoulders was too great.
Wang Mingyang knew that he was loyal to the world, and what he feared most was if the old chief minister was gone.
Who else can suppress the military front between the grassland barbarians and the Tuzhen tribe?
Who else can curb the ambitions of the Li family and his son in the Liaodong region?
