Chapter 905: Determining the destiny of the world and what the people want
General Zhang rode horses side by side, with a somewhat solemn look on his face: "Your Majesty, although I am happy about this great victory, the situation in the DPRK and China is still complicated and changeable. We still need to deal with it carefully."
Zhu Han nodded slightly, with a deep look in his eyes: "What General Zhang said is absolutely true. Matters in the court often affect the whole body. We must act step by step without any carelessness."
At this time, Vice General Li rode up from the rear, his face filled with the joy of victory: "Your Majesty, the general has sent scouts along the way to confirm that the road ahead is safe and no trace of the enemy has been found."
Zhu Han turned to look at Vice General Li and praised: "Vice General Li, thank you for your hard work. Your caution and thoroughness are one of the keys to our army's victory."
The team continued to move forward and soon entered a dense forest. There were sounds of birds chirping in the forest, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow. Zhao Canjun approached Zhu Han on horseback and reported softly: "Your Majesty, the people in the forest
After hearing about our army's squadron, they all spontaneously came to greet us, willing to guide our army's path and provide supplies."
When Zhu Han heard this, a warm current surged in his heart: "It is our great fortune that the Ming Dynasty is so blessed by the people's love. If you pass on the order, you must be courteous to the people who come to greet you, and you must not show any slights."
As the team went deep into the forest, they saw many people standing by the roadside holding flowers and food, their eyes full of joy of victory and longing for the future. An old man with white beard and hair walked tremblingly towards Zhu Han
In front of the horse, he bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, on behalf of the people in the forest, I would like to thank your Majesty and the soldiers for defending their homeland and driving away foreign enemies."
Zhu Han quickly dismounted, helped the old man up with his own hands, and said warmly: "My father-in-law is serious, defending our homeland is our duty as soldiers. But the support and love of the people make us feel warmer and more inspired."
The old man's eyes filled with tears and he was filled with gratitude: "Your Majesty's kindness is the blessing of our Ming Dynasty. May your Majesty and the soldiers have a safe journey and return home in triumph."
Zhu Han nodded his thanks, and then ordered people to fetch the food and cloth stored in the army and distribute them to the people to show feedback and gratitude. This warm and touching scene deeply touched everyone present.
The team continued to move forward, through the forest, and came to an open field. It was the autumn harvest season, and the golden ears of rice were swaying in the wind, like a golden ocean. The farmers were busy harvesting the crops, and their faces were full of harvest.
of joy.
Upon seeing this, a young farmer put down the sickle in his hand, ran over quickly, and saluted Zhu Han: "Your Majesty, on behalf of the people of the whole village, I would like to thank you and the soldiers for your protection. Please allow me to pay my respects to you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Han quickly helped the farmer up and said with a smile: "Please get up quickly. It is our greatest wish that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. I am very relieved to see that you have a good harvest in sight."
The farmer said gratefully: "What the prince said is absolutely true. Since the prince led the army to repel the enemy, our people can farm with peace of mind and no longer have to worry about war. This is the great contribution of the prince and the soldiers!"
Zhu Han nodded with a smile, but secretly thought in his heart: The real victory lies not only in the flash of swords and shadows on the battlefield, but also in allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy peace and tranquility. He turned to General Zhang and others and said: "Generals, we not only
We must protect the border, and more importantly, we must protect the people on this land so that they can live in peace of mind and not suffer from war."
As Zhu Han's words fell, the atmosphere in the team became more solemn and solemn. General Zhang said solemnly: "What the prince said is absolutely true. As soldiers, we protect our home and country not only for the peace of the territory, but also for the peace of the territory.
This is so that thousands of people can live and work in peace and contentment."
Vice General Li also said: "That's why the prince's benevolence and foresight make us and other soldiers deeply admired. This time when the troops return to the court, they must describe the prince's achievements in detail to His Majesty and the important officials in the court, so that all the people in the world can
Know the kindness of the prince."
Zhao Shenjun nodded in agreement: "General, I will do my best to record the prince's wise decision and the heroic deeds of the soldiers in detail, so as to ensure that they can report truthfully when they return to the court."
The team continued to move forward and soon arrived at a village. At the entrance of the village, several elderly villagers were already waiting there. They held incense and had sincere smiles on their faces, ready to welcome the victorious soldiers.
A gray-haired old man came forward and bowed deeply to Zhu Han: "On behalf of the whole village, I would like to welcome the triumph of the prince and the soldiers. The prince and the soldiers drove away the foreign enemies for us and kept the peace of our village. It is really our fault."
Waiting for new parents."
Zhu Han quickly dismounted, helped the old man up with his own hands, and said warmly: "My father-in-law said seriously, it is our duty as soldiers to defend our homeland. I am very pleased to see the villagers living and working in peace and contentment."
At this time, a child holding a bouquet of wild flowers jumped up to Zhu Han, his eyes shining with curiosity and admiration: "My lord, you are so brave! When I grow up, I will be like you and defend my homeland!"
"
Zhu Han smiled and bent down to pick up the child and stroked his head: "Good boy, you are ambitious. Remember, defending your homeland requires not only courage, but also wisdom and love. You must study hard so that you can do better in the future.
Serving the folks.”
The child nodded in understanding, but the light in his eyes became more determined. The surrounding villagers also gathered around to express their gratitude to Zhu Han and the soldiers. Zhu Han responded to the greetings and gratitude of the villagers one by one, feeling in his heart
Full of warmth and contentment.
The team continued to move forward, and wherever they passed along the way, they were greeted with warm welcome and gratitude by the villagers. Zhu Han and the soldiers felt this simple and sincere emotion, which strengthened their determination to defend their homeland and protect the people.
As night fell, the team camped in an open space to rest. A bonfire was lit, reflecting the tired but determined faces of the soldiers. Zhu Han sat by the bonfire, sitting in a circle with the soldiers, sharing each other's stories and feelings.
General Zhang picked up the wine bowl and said loudly: "Come, cheers to the prince's wise command, to the heroic fighting of the soldiers, to the peace of the Ming Dynasty and the well-being of the people!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Cheers!" The soldiers responded one after another and raised their wine bowls. The crisp clinking sound was mixed with laughter, and the faces illuminated by the bonfire were filled with the joy of victory and homecoming.
Zhu Han smiled and drank with everyone, but he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart.
"My lord, you have contributed a lot to successfully repelling the enemy this time!" A middle-aged general said with emotion, his eyes full of admiration for Zhu Han.
Zhu Han shook his head slightly and said humbly: "That's wrong. It was all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives that led to this victory. I just did my duty."
At this time, a young soldier mustered up his courage and interjected: "Your Majesty, I have always wanted to ask a question. We have won so many battles, will the enemy invade our Ming Dynasty again?"
When Zhu Han heard this, his eyes became deep. He looked around at the soldiers sitting around and said slowly: "The enemy may retreat temporarily, but peace is never easy to come by. We must always be prepared, for the sake of the peace of the Ming Dynasty, and for the sake of peace.
For the well-being of the people, protect every inch of the land."
Zhao Shenjun took over the conversation with a firm tone: "What the prince said is absolutely true. We must not only strengthen military defense, but also enhance national strength to make the Ming Dynasty stronger and intimidating to the enemy."
General Zhang nodded in agreement: "Yes, after returning this time, we will step up training to improve combat effectiveness and ensure that we can respond to any challenges at any time."
Vice General Li suggested: "In addition, I think we should also strengthen relations with the various ethnic groups in the border areas, form an alliance, and jointly resist foreign enemies. In this way, even if the enemy attacks, we can have more help."
Zhu Han looked at Vice General Li with approval, nodded and said: "What Vice General Li said is very much what I like. The stability of the border cannot be separated from the support and cooperation of all ethnic groups. We must treat each other with sincerity and build peace together."
As the night grew darker, the conversations around the campfire did not stop. The soldiers expressed their opinions one after another, ranging from military strategies to the improvement of people's livelihood, from personal ideals to the future of the country. Everyone was immersed in their longing for the future.
Suddenly, a scout hurried over, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, we found a village ahead that seems to have been invaded by bandits, and the villagers are in urgent need of rescue."
Zhu Han frowned slightly when he heard this, then stood up and said firmly: "Send the order, the whole army will prepare immediately, and we will go to the rescue immediately!"
Soon, the army arrived at the invaded village. The village was in a mess, with several houses burned down. The villagers gathered together in panic, with despair in their eyes.
Zhu Han turned over and dismounted, walked quickly towards the villagers, and said softly: "Folks, don't be afraid, we are the Ming Dynasty's army, specially here to rescue you."
When the villagers saw the arrival of the army, they knelt down one after another and cried with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you soldiers for saving your life!"
Zhu Han quickly helped an old man up and said in a deep voice: "Protecting the people is the duty of our soldiers. Now, let's go and destroy those bandits immediately!"
After saying that, he turned around and ordered to General Zhang: "General Zhang, lead a force and immediately surround the bandit's lair. Be sure to catch them all!"
General Zhang received the order with a loud voice: "General, I will live up to the prince's trust!" Immediately, he quickly deployed his troops, summoned a group of elite soldiers to his side, and briefly assigned tasks.
"The first team, follow me directly to Huanglong and go straight to the bandits' lair; the second team, outflank them and cut off their retreat; the third team, be responsible for guarding the surroundings of the village and ensuring the safety of the villagers." General Zhang commanded in an orderly manner.
The soldiers were all in high spirits and ready to go into battle.
Zhu Han stood aside, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Zhao Canjun: "Zhao Canjun, you lead a group of people to assist the villagers in evacuation and treatment to ensure that they stay away from the battlefield. Safety first."
Zhao Shenjun accepted the order: "General, please make arrangements immediately." He turned around and whispered a few words to the soldiers beside him, and the soldiers acted quickly to help the villagers move to a safe area.
At this time, Vice General Li also took the initiative to ask for help: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the light cavalry first to explore the specific location of the bandits' lair and clear the way for the army."
Zhu Han looked at Lieutenant General Li's firm eyes and said with approval: "Okay, Lieutenant General Li is brave and courageous. This trip will definitely be successful. But remember, safety comes first and don't underestimate the enemy."
Lieutenant General Li clasped his fists, got on his horse, and led dozens of light cavalrymen to disappear into the night like the wind. Soon, they sent back the exact news, and the specific location and guarding situation of the bandit's lair were clear.
"Okay, the time has come!" Seeing this, Zhu Han decisively ordered, "The whole army will attack, and we must fight quickly to reduce the losses of the villagers!"
Following Zhu Han's order, the Ming army surged toward the bandit's lair like a tide. The main force led by General Zhang attacked head-on. The soldiers shouted slogans, their morale was like a rainbow, and the bandits fell one after another amid the light of swords and shadows.
"Follow me, for the peace of the villagers, kill!" General Zhang took the lead, holding a spear, and rushed into the enemy formation. His bravery inspired every soldier, and everyone moved forward bravely and without fear.
At the same time, the light cavalry led by Lieutenant General Li made a surprise attack from the flank. They took advantage of their speed and quickly penetrated the enemy formation, causing great confusion to the bandits. The light cavalry rained down arrows, accurately hitting the enemy's vital points.
, for a time, the bandits were in chaos.
"Brothers, hold on, victory is at hand!" a centurion shouted loudly. He held a broadsword and slashed left and right. He was invincible and opened a bloody path for the soldiers behind him.
When the bandit leader saw this, he roared angrily, brandishing his sword and rushed towards General Zhang in an attempt to make a final struggle. However, how could General Zhang be a match for him? General Zhang dodged and easily dodged the blow.
A backhand shot hit the bandit leader right in the heart, and he was thrown off his horse.
"The leader is dead, surrender without killing!" General Zhang shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the valley. Seeing this, the remaining bandits abandoned their helmets and armor and raised their hands to surrender.
The battle ended quickly, and the village regained its tranquility. The villagers walked out of the shelter one after another and burst into tears of gratitude when they saw the corpses of bandits and the heroic Ming soldiers all over the ground.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you soldiers! You are our great benefactors!" An old man walked up to Zhu Han tremblingly, knelt on the ground, and burst into tears.
Zhu Han quickly helped the old man up and said gently: "Old man, please get up quickly. It is the duty of our soldiers to protect the people. Now that the bandits have been eliminated, you can live in peace of mind."
The villagers gathered around and expressed their gratitude to Zhu Han and the soldiers. Zhu Han responded to their greetings and gratitude one by one, and his heart was full of satisfaction and pride.
"Your Majesty, all the bandits have been wiped out and the village is safe." General Zhang came to report, his face filled with the joy of victory.
Zhu Han nodded in approval: "Well done, General Zhang. Pass on the order and leave some troops to help the villagers rebuild their homes. The rest will return to camp immediately."
As General Zhang reported, Zhu Han looked into the distance, feeling both gratified with the victory and planning for the future. He nodded slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "Very good, General Zhang. Our responsibilities are not only
It is to defeat foreign enemies, but also to protect the tranquility of this land. We left two teams of soldiers to help the villagers rebuild their homes and ensure that they return to normal life as soon as possible."
