Looking at the impregnable Yakutsk Fort and the gold-backed black double-headed eagle flag with its teeth and claws on the fort, Zhu Ruodeng, the Ming Dynasty King of Ji, wanted to spit out fire. This city was built so solidly that for a moment
I couldn’t beat him for half a while.
"It's worthless, it's worthless, it's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to throw it away!" the young prince muttered to himself.
"Plop!"
The uncontrollable laughter came from counselor Lu Shiyi.
Zhu Ruodeng was a little unhappy and asked: "Sir, are you laughing at the incompetent man who has 20,000 soldiers but cannot defeat the city of Yakutsk, which only has a few thousand soldiers and horses?"
Seeing that his lord was displeased, Lu Shiyi quickly suppressed his smile and said, "I am laughing at your Majesty who insists on touching a stone with a stone, but refuses to touch a chicken egg with a stone."
"Oh, sir, what do you mean by this?"
"Our army has many soldiers and can attack all directions; the enemy has few soldiers and should stick to one place. Now Rakshasa has gathered a heavy army at Yakutsk Fort, which is as solid as a stone. You are here to fight with him decisively. You are hitting stone with stone. Naturally,
It’s difficult; all their elite troops are here, and there are not many soldiers and horses in the surrounding cities. If you send a partial army to attack and plunder each city, you will hit the eggs with stones. If all the cities are attacked, and there is only one isolated city, why should you be afraid?" Zhu Ruodeng pondered for a long time, and although he felt it made sense, he was also a little worried, "If the troops are scattered, they will be weak. If they are divided into various places, there will be less troops to attack Yakutsk Fort. The Rakshasa warlord Franzbekov is a veteran general.
, I'm afraid that dividing the troops will give them an opportunity to take advantage of."
"It doesn't matter, the number of partial troops sent out does not need to be too large, two thousand is enough," Lu Shiyi still insisted.
"Two thousand people?"
Zhu Ruodeng was a little hesitant, "The Rakshasa people's star fortress is very strange, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there are fewer troops, I'm afraid they may not be able to defeat it."
"Your Highness, military and national affairs are partly man-made and partly the way of heaven. No one can fully understand the changes of the way of heaven. I am lucky to have sent two thousand troops and horses to go out and win; if we lose, it will not damage the foundation of our army."
Zhu Ruodeng understood that Master Lu wanted to fight on his own. If he made the right move, he would win; if he made the wrong move, he could afford the loss. Well, it's just a fight, it's not a big deal, it's just a small defeat. He
I decided to send my second uncle, Chen Biao. A few days ago, I promoted my second uncle from the rank of deputy general to deputy general. He was promoted a little too quickly. I was afraid that the generals would not accept it. I wanted Chen Biao to achieve some military exploits and silence the generals.
"Order Chen Biao, Zhang Qixiang, and Zorba to lead two thousand troops to first capture the Okhotsk Fort in the east, then go north to capture the Zhigansk and Zahiversk Forts, and completely blockade the Yakutsk Fort.
Let Yakutsk become an isolated city and a dead city.
Shortly after the military order was issued, the guard at the camp gate presented a silver medal with a cloud-shaped pattern on the top and a hole in the middle, like a round mirror, "General, there was a person at the camp gate who asked to see you, and he gave me this plaque."<
/p>
"Well, Jin Yiwei's waistband?"
Zhu Ruodeng was born into a royal family and was well-informed, so he naturally recognized Jin Yiwei's reputation.
In this era, the hierarchy was strict. The waist badges of Jinyiwei with different statuses were different. The lowest level of strongman, the captain of the school, wore a wooden plaque, which was nameless; the small flag, the general flag, was used to test hundreds of households, and the bronze medal of the hundred households was still nameless; the deputy of a thousand households,
Thousands of households, a silver medal is used to control the governor, which is famous; a command to sign things, Tongzhi, and an ivory medal is used to command, which is famous.
"It's actually a silver medal. It seems that this person is of a high rank among the Jinyi Guards." Zhu Ruodeng played with the silver medal with great interest. When he saw the words on it: "Gao Jian, Director of the North Town of the Jinyi Guards", he smiled and said:
"Let this person come in."
The guards first searched Gao Jian's body to prevent him from carrying weapons, and then allowed him to enter after the inspection was completed.
As soon as he entered the tent, Gao Jian kowtowed repeatedly as he was expected to see the prince. Even though the Jin Yiwei were arrogant and domineering outside, in the final analysis they were just the emperor's own soldiers. When he saw Tianhuang's nobles, he didn't dare to breathe. "Gao Jian, the director of the Northern Town Fu of the Jinyi Guards Department, met with the general who conquered the north, His Royal Highness the King of Ji." Gao Jian's voice was soft but very clear.
"Gao Zhenfu doesn't need to be polite, what's the point of seeing an orphan?" Zhu Ruodeng's words were very polite, but they carried the pressure of a superior, which made Gao Jian feel tight and breathless.
He calmed down and said: "Xiaguan was ordered to lurk in northern Xinjiang. He has successfully recruited the Yukargir tribe near Okhotsk Fort to serve as an internal support for the king's division. He can lead the king's division to attack Okhotsk Fort; in addition, I have
The officials have successfully aroused the dissatisfaction of the rich Rakshasa merchants in Yakutsk Fort against the governor. After a while, there will be civil strife in the city."
There was silence, no one spoke in the big tent.
Zhu Ruodeng was shocked. The seemingly ordinary person in front of him could actually accomplish great things! The Jinyiwei were so resourceful! They were worthy of being the emperor's minions and the sharpest weapon of the country! If he could have such an intelligence force by his side, what else could he not do?
?
He immediately wanted to win over you, Wen Yan praised: "Gao Zhenfu has worked hard these years to lurk in northern Xinjiang, thank you for your hard work! If I can follow your words and successfully instigate rebellion this time, I will definitely go to my father and ask for credit for you.
!"
"Thank you, General. I don't dare to take credit. I will bid farewell soon and sneak into the Yakutsk Fort to stir up civil strife in the Rakshasa. Please let the imperial guard Qianhu Zilong lead the king's division into the Okhotsk Fort." Gao Jian's feelings
When I saw King Ji's fiery gaze and desire to win over me, my heart shuddered, and I asked my subordinates to lead the Ming army to Okhotsk Fort, while I found an excuse to escape. The Jin Yiwei were the Emperor's own soldiers, and were only loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
It is a rule for any force in the court to have entanglements. Not to mention the King of Ji, even the future prince and prince must keep a distance. He is the hero now, and if he violates the rules, disaster will be imminent!
"Oh, Gao Zhenfu is leaving so soon? I didn't even invite Gao Zhenfu to have a drink. It's a pity, it's a pity! But since you have important things to do and state affairs are important, I can't force you to stay. So let me.
Give one to you as a gift."
Gao Jian was startled when he heard that His Highness King Ji was going to give him away. The etiquette in feudal society was strict, and everyone had their own rank. How could he give away the high and the low? He hurriedly declined and said: "I am a humble official, how can I dare to work hard?"
A gift from the general? You can’t do it, you can’t do it?”
"How can I not do it? If I say it, I will do it!"
Zhu Ruodeng said sternly: "For the sake of the well-being of the Ming Dynasty and the people, Gao Zhenfu has been lurking in the northern Xinjiang alone in the wind and snow for these years. He has gone through hardships and I admire him very much! After Jiashen, China was in chaos precisely because of thousands of people like you.
Only with the sacrifice of millions of loyal and righteous people can the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty be revived. Why not send the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty away alone?"
Hearing what he said, even though Gao Jian, as a senior Jin Yiwei, was used to seeing the harsh world and the filth of human nature, he couldn't help but be moved, so he allowed Zhu Ruodeng to be escorted to the gate of the camp.
"General, I'm going to leave my post," Gao Jian saluted Zhu Ruodeng.
"Gao Zhenfu, please take care of yourself," Zhu Ruodeng replied with a smile.
"Drive~Drive~Drive~"
With a quick ride, Gao Jian disappeared into the dust, walking quietly as if he had never been there.
