March 28, the third year of Dalong’s reign.
Ganzhou!
The rising sun rises in the east, and there are no clouds in the sky.
The 400,000 elite cavalry selected from the 1.2 million elite troops of various health ministries gathered outside Ganzhou City to prepare for the attack.
Ten years ago, Liu Mingzhi commanded 400,000 soldiers and horses to conquer the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions that were invaded by Dalong. After more than two years, he finally included all the countries in the Western Regions within Dalong's territory.
Ten years later, the great dragon that dominated the world once again easily gathered 400,000 elites, preparing to conquer the two countries of Da Shi and Tianzhu, whose crimes were worse than those of border crimes.
Liu Mingzhi didn't know how long it would take for this expedition to be victorious, and neither did the generals of the Western Expedition and the 400,000-strong expeditionary army.
However, the 400,000 elite troops showed no fear or confusion about this expedition, and only had a passionate fighting spirit.
The soldiers and horses who can stand here are all elite soldiers who survived hundreds of fierce battles in the Three Kingdoms in order to unify the world.
After the unification of the world, they were stationed in various places for two and a half years, which was a misfortune for these soldiers who made a living by fighting.
Now that all the hardships have come to an end, the imperial court has been hard at work for more than two and a half years, and finally it is time to wait for the hot-blooded man to jump on his horse and whip his whip to fight on the battlefield!
A general will inevitably die in battle, and there will be no place where people are buried in the loess.
It was learned that this time they were going to attack two barbarian countries that were miles away from the Western Regions and dared to massacre the people of Dalong. Although the 400,000 soldiers came from the three camps of Dalong, Jin and Tu.
But after two and a half years of hard work, the camp has long been unified.
I learned that Your Majesty needs these soldiers to avenge the tragic deaths of three thousand people and expand the territory for the imperial court.
400,000 soldiers were waiting on the battlefield to set off for the flag sacrifice, but Xin'er had already flown to the Silk Road leading to the countries in the Western Regions, rolling thousands of miles of yellow sand.
There was a chilling atmosphere, but only the sneezing of war horses and flags roared in the spring breeze. Suddenly, the rumble of war drums came from inside and outside Ganzhou City.
The 400,000-strong army immediately calmed down, reined their horses, held their swords in hand, and looked with evil eyes toward the general platform about two miles outside the west gate of Ganzhou City.
There are flags with the word Shuai on both sides of the Dalong flag, and the Nangong Shuai flag is fluttering in the wind.
Hundreds of figures rode out from the Ganzhou city gate and galloped towards the general platform.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
“The Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition Army’s left wing, Lord Protector, is so arrogant!”
"Generalissimo Yong'an Gong Nangongye has arrived on the right side of the Western Expedition Army!"
The 400,000 soldiers were stunned for a moment by the chorus of hundreds of messengers shouting, "Your Majesty is here?"
Has His Majesty also come to Ganzhou?
However, when the soldiers and horses of the ten square formations of the current army saw them, they dismounted and were arrogant. Nangong Ye and other generals surrounded Mr. Liu who was heading towards the general stage. He immediately knelt down on one knee with excited eyes and began to salute.
"We see your Majesty, long live long live!"
One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.
Liu Mingzhi's appearance was unclear to the soldiers and horses from the Chinese army behind him. When the soldiers and horses from the rear army saw the behavior of the brothers from the front army, they immediately took the reins of their horses and knelt down on one knee.
"We see your Majesty, long live long live!"
"We see your Majesty, long live long live!"
Liu Mingzhi seemed to be imposing, but he smiled lightly and raised his hands to the 400,000 troops in front of the formation.
"All officers and soldiers are exempted from the gift!"
"His Majesty ordered that all officers and men be exempted from courtesy!"
"His Majesty ordered that all officers and men be exempted from courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live!"
All the generals present looked at Liu Mingzhi's back standing in front of the general stage and pointing out the country with complicated and excited eyes.
They were all shocked by the overwhelming shouts and high morale of the 400,000 soldiers and could not recover for a long time.
I sighed in my heart that after all, he was the Ma Emperor who unified the world and was the founding king. His prestige in the minds of the soldiers was extraordinary.
The people who were most surprised were Wanyan Chizha, Hu Yanyu and the others, generals from the former Jin and Tujia countries.
Among these 400,000 elite troops were half of the troops belonging to the Beifu Ten Guards and the Xinfu Twelve Guards. When did the prestige of the emperor Liu Mingzhi actually affect the armies of both places?
However, when they glanced at the unified armor, unified weapons, unified longbows and serial crossbows on the six guards of the new army and the soldiers and horses of the two mansions and the six guards of the Northern Territory of Dalong.
Wanyan Chiezha and the others no longer felt surprised at all.
How broad-minded do you have to be that you dare not hesitate to replace the soldiers and horses left over from the previous dynasties of the two countries with the same elite military equipment as your own people?
The emperor acts with his heart, and the soldiers act with their lives.
Maybe this sentence was born for Liu Mingzhi.
The reason why Liu Mingzhi appeared in Ganzhou was because he was worried that this tripartite coordinated expedition would cause some accidents due to their former hostile status.
After bargaining with Xia Gongming and repeatedly promising that he would not be sneaky in the future, the commander-in-chief of the army and his troops would march away in person. In addition, Liu Mingzhi analyzed the pros and cons in detail to Xia Gongming, so Xia Gongming agreed to let him go.
He also threatened with words that if Liu Mingzhi dared to leave without saying goodbye and march in person, he would receive a letter from the golden eagle on the way as the chief minister of the cabinet died after hitting a pillar for his loyalty to the country.
If left in the hands of some unenlightened emperors, Xia Gongming would have died dozens of times if he dared to threaten the emperor like this.
However, this upright master assisted several generations of emperors and became a wise and open-minded emperor.
From the Weihe Dynasty to the Taiping Dynasty of Liu Mingzhi, he was still alive and well, and he held official positions such as Yushi Dafu, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, which was subordinate to one person and exceeded ten thousand people.
He became the well-deserved first person among the evergreen trees in the officialdom of Dalong Chaotang.
Knowing full well what a bad old man Xia Gongming was, Liu Mingzhi's little thoughts at that time disappeared instantly.
He really didn't dare to have sex with an old stubborn guy like Xia Gongming.
If this bad old man really gets mad and kills the Qinzheng Palace, let alone the imperial commander himself.
Once there is no chief minister in the cabinet, it will be a problem for me to still guard the bookstall and spend my idle days at the fortune-telling stall.
"War horse!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please!"
Liu Mingzhi turned over and mounted the majestic war horse led by Cheng Kai, whipped his whip and ran towards the army formation.
"Sirs, since I have proclaimed myself emperor and unified the world, time has flown by, and more than two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
When the weapons are stored in the treasury and the horses are released to Nanshan, are you having a hard time?
I don’t need to guess, I know that you hot-blooded men have already fallen ill soon.”
It’s not that there are no soldiers who can read and write, but there are too few.
Liu Mingzhi wandered among various military formations and did not mince words. What he said was quite straightforward.
Sure enough, Liu Mingzhi's passionate words containing inner strength made hundreds of thousands of troops stare at Liu Mingzhi wandering on horseback and burst into laughter.
In order for military orders to be conveyed in a timely manner, the soldiers and horses dispatched from Xinfu and Beifu are all elite soldiers and horses who can understand Chinese.
Naturally, he would not look confused because of Liu Mingzhi's words.
"Brothers, I am the emperor immediately, and I have committed too many crimes in my life.
I originally thought that after unifying the world, I would be a good emperor who works diligently and loves the people, so that the world can restore its prosperity and even reach a higher level.
I don't know which level I will go to. At least I can make the soldiers and the people not worry about their livelihood, and they can eat meat for one of the three meals.
I am working hard and watching the people's lives getting better and better.
But some people disagree.
They not only plundered the goods of our Dalong merchants, but also brutally slaughtered our elders and brothers.
What is this? Provocation, naked provocation.
The provocation against me is also a provocation against you, brothers.
They think we, the dragon, don’t have any hot-blooded men to protect our country!
So, if this person seeks death, he will be blind and arrogant.
To be continued...
