Chapter 331: Lu Bu's victory (1)

During the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan was always regarded as a remote place. The so-called sky was high and the emperor was far away. The Yunnan people had a deep impression of the emperor as the Duke of Qian, who was in Shizhen Yunnan. They had no deep feelings about the shocking changes in the north. It seemed that everything was far away from them. It was not until Emperor Yongli moved to Kunming that the Yunnan people knew that the capital of the Ming Dynasty had been occupied by the Manzhou Tartars, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also driven to Yunnan by the Manzhou people.

Now, the people in Kunming City are proud of the emperor's arrival. The most common words on teahouses, restaurants, and streets are "under the feet of the emperor". However, the situation suddenly became tense after only a few months of lively in Kunming City. Because Sun Kewang's army invaded Yunnan, Kunming City was under semi-martial law, there were Ming troops in each gate to inspect people entering and leaving the city, fearing that Sun Kewang's spies would sneak into the city and cause chaos. The city also regularly investigated the residents in the market, and there were even rumors that the emperor was about to leave Kunming again because the army of Qin King Sun Kewang's army was about to kill. This rumor made people in Kunming City panic and no longer as lively as the emperor came.

On the morning of that day, a strange team came outside the North City of Kunming. The team brought more than a dozen caravans and mule carts, which looked no different from the ordinary caravans. But when they got closer, they found that the team exuded a different smell from the caravans. The ordinary caravans usually had dozens of people, but there were hundreds of people in this team, all of whom were strong men, and everyone was wearing a knife on their waists. The few people in the lead exuded murderous aura all over their bodies, making people dare to look far but not close.

Yunnan is now a special period. In order to strengthen the defense capabilities of Kunming City, King Li Dingguo of Jin specially transferred his elite troops to garrison the city gates. The one who stationed the north gate was the army under the King of Jin, and the one who commanded these army was Liang Mingyuan.

Liang Mingyuan was born in the Daxi Army. He followed Zhang Xianzhong to make the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty in his early years. After the Daxi Army Alliance against the Qing Dynasty, Liang Mingyuan became an official in the Ming Dynasty. However, the change in identity did not make Liang Mingyuan uncomfortable. He participated in the two battles of the two famous kings, and he won a lot of achievements. He was promoted to deputy general and was only one step away from taking charge. If it weren't for being named by the King of Jin, Liang Mingyuan would have been left to stay in Kunming now. Now he would have been afraid that he would have led his troops to fight Sun Kewang's army, and he would have had to make meritorious service and be promoted to general.

When the soldiers guarding the gate found a strange team outside the city, Liang Mingyuan was watching his elephant soldiers train the battle elephants obtained from the chieftain. After hearing the news, he immediately brought people to the city gate.

The strange team did not enter the city immediately, but stopped two miles outside the city. Liang Mingyuan looked from the city gate tower and saw the other leader giving some instructions. Then the strong men took off the short sweatshirts they were wearing and flipping out new clothes from the carriage and put them on.

Liang Mingyuan could see clearly that those strong men were wearing Ming Jun's clothes, which made him feel a little relieved.

A soldier shouted, "General, they have fired the flag!"

Liang Mingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him closely. As expected, the other party indeed cast a flag and wrote three big Chinese characters - "Taiping Army".

Taiping Army? Which army is this?

Liang Mingyuan was surprised and searched in his mind for a long time without any information about the Taiping Army.

The Taiping Army outside the city is very wise. Knowing that Kunming is now the place where the emperor garrisons are stationed, foreign soldiers cannot enter the city casually. According to the rules, they must wait outside the city gate to introduce the troops and horses in the city. If they do not follow this rule, the military situation that is urgently urgent is about 800 miles away. Otherwise, no matter which subordinate of the general governor, you must be honestly interrogated when you arrive at the city gate. Otherwise, it is no problem to make you a rebellion - can the emperor be the one who is a soldier?

However, it seems that the Taiping Army outside the city did not really understand the rules. They did not send people to contact the city gate guards, but instead stayed there after raising the flag. This did not match the truth. If you don’t explain what you are going to come to Kunming City, is it just to stay outside the city for so long?

Liang Mingyuan was responsible for defending the city, so he was naturally a little vigilant about the Taiping Army with unknown origin. Seeing that the other party had not sent people to contact him, he wanted to send someone to interrogate the details and origin of the Taiping Army. At this time, the soldiers around him exclaimed again: "Lu Bu! General, they are fighting Lu Bu!"

Lu Bu?!

Liang Mingyuan was shocked again. Sure enough, the Taiping Army really wrote Lu Bu, who had written a written word for victory.

After being shocked, Liang Mingyuan was furious. A team of unheard soldiers and horses actually imitated His Highness King Jin and two famous kings fought Lu Bu to report their victory. He is so shameless!

Could it be that your Taiping Army also killed two Tartar princes?

This is absolutely impossible!

Looking around the world, besides our Daxi Army, which other Ming army can beat the Manzhou Tartars! If they can really beat the Tatars, why should we win over our Daxi Army to work hard for them!

"Everyone comes with me. I want to see who this Taiping Army is so sacred, and I dare to show my victory in front of our men!"

Liang Mingyuan took his men down the city gate tower and headed out of the city. The soldiers rushed out of the city angrily. They were all elite soldiers who had participated in the Battle of Guilin and Hengyang, so they could not bear the outsiders showing their victory in front of them.

Our soldiers do have the capital to be angry and pride. Their pride was created with their blood. Even though these soldiers later suffered two consecutive defeats in Guangdong, they never thought they could not defeat the Qing soldiers in Guangdong. They thought they had just lost to the disease and the city. Otherwise, why would the Qing army in Guangdong dare not go out of the city to pursue one step when they retreated?

The soldiers are proud of being a soldier. Now someone openly reveals victory in front of their soldiers. Of course, these soldiers are so angry. If it is true, it would be okay. If it is fake, these soldiers will knock down the Taiping Army on the spot, so that they can know what they can do and what they can’t do!

Liang Mingyuan angrily led his subordinates to the Taiping Army's team to report victory, while staring at the dozen carriages.

Looking at the carriage, there are tricks. You can't look at what is installed on it, but you have to look at the wheel mark. If the mark is deep, the things contained in the car must be really heavy. It is obvious that the Taiping Army's carriage does not contain much cargo because the wheel mark is not deep.

Liang Mingyuan didn't think much about what was in the carriage. He noticed that the Taiping Army looked like that, but it just seemed to be able to fight. This alone made Liang Mingyuan believe that the Taiping Army had the qualification to express his promise to win. He ran to the Taiping Army and shouted, "Which army are you from? Why did you come to Kunming? Why did you hold up the Lubu high?"
