When the court session ended, the sun was already high in the sky.
Zhu Yijun left the Forbidden City under the protection of 10,000 Royal Guards and Jinyiwei.
The capital was under martial law, and all letters were banned from the streets. Violators were immediately arrested.
Under strict protection, Zhu Yijun headed to the South City Military Yard.
The capital was prosperous, and the clean streets were devoid of leaves. Li Rusong had led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to reorganize and wait for the Emperor to inspect them.
The dragon carriage Zhu Yijun was riding on had iron armor hanging on the canopy, which could defend against arrows and eagle feathers.
Two hours later, the 3,000 Divine Arms Battalion arrived at the drill ground in the southern city. They were one of the three main battalions of the Guards Army. They were equipped with firearms, muskets, and more.
The 3,000 Divine Arms Battalion soldiers were very effective against cavalry. The muskets were extremely loud, and their range was about three times that of bows and arrows. If it wasn't for the well-trained warhorses, they would have fled in all directions upon hearing the gunshots.
However, the Divine Arms Battalion also had its own limitations, which was that refilling their ammunition was extremely tedious.
The time it took to fire a shot was enough for an elite archer to fire seven to ten arrows…
……
Li Rusong had dismounted long ago. The sun hung high above their heads, and sweat kept flowing down their faces.
They were extremely excited.
They had never participated in the imperial examinations when they were growing up. All the way until now, they had relied on their military achievements to climb up step by step. They had never seen the emperor.
Now that the Emperor was coming to inspect the Wolf Cavalry of Bingzhou, how could they not be excited?
The front line of the Royal Guards had already arrived at the drill ground and were standing outside.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhu Yijun's dragon carriage arrived. Li Rusong led 30,000 wolf cavalry from Bing Province and kowtowed,""Long live our emperor! Hooray! Long live!"
After Zhu Yijun arrived at the drill ground, he stood on the dragon carriage and looked at the flag fluttering. He smiled. One million taels of silver in exchange for a group of famous generals and 30,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry. This was a very profitable deal.
Under the protection of the Royal Guards, Zhu Yijun stepped down from the dragon carriage and came to the high platform on the drill ground. Many of the Wolf Cavalry Generals from Bing Province looked at Zhu Yijun with excitement on their faces.
Hiss--
The neighing of war horses broke the silence. Zhu Yijun looked towards the horse farm. There were sixty thousand strong horses there. The wolf cavalry of Bingzhou were extremely powerful, and each rider had two war horses riding on each other.
A warhorse was the second rider. This warhorse usually only carried the cavalry's supplies and arrow equipment. If the main warhorse lost its footing, the rider would change to the second rider and continue fighting.
……
Zhu Yijun looked at the main generals of the Wolf Cavalry in front of him. If such a person was used well, he would be able to lift the brush to stabilize the world, and the martial arts would be able to set the world!
In the cool autumn weather, Zhu Yijun wanted to say something to boost morale on the high platform, but the military field was too big and there were too many people. Zhu Yijun did not have a microphone in his hand, so the words to boost morale were swallowed by Zhu Yijun.
Li Rusong and the other generals looked up at Zhu Yijun and were all surprised. This was the first time they had seen the Emperor. In their memories, the Emperor was as ethereal as a divine dragon.
However, it was this young man standing in front of them that made them feel a little surprised.
Was this youth the emperor?
This age was too immature.
Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng walked in front of Li Rusong and the other generals and handed them the imperial edict written by Zhu Yijun. This imperial edict was written by Gao Gong, and on it was written the purpose and intention of Bingzhou's wolf cavalry.
"Li Rusong and his generals…"
"We are here!"
"I'll wait for your triumphant return!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Rusong and the other generals were imposing. They had already made up their minds to fight on the battlefield.
"The specific battle strategy is in the imperial edict. The Liaodong General Army will fully cooperate with you. The situation on the battlefield is changeable, so you can make your own decisions.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
An hour later, Zhu Yijun finished inspecting the Wolf Cavalry of Bingzhou and returned to the Forbidden City. Li Rusong and the other generals mounted their horses and led the Wolf Cavalry of Bingzhou straight to Liaodong!
At this moment, the cabinet had already sent out 13 teams with a total of 100 people dressed in Mongolian attire. Gu Yu's scouts went deep into the grasslands to spread rumors.
The Mongolian cavaliers moved swiftly. It would not be long before the Horqin tribe leader received a report on the military situation.
Li Chengliang from Liaodong led his army straight to the Horqin Grassland and attacked the rear of Horqin.
Whether he should advance or retreat, that was something he had to worry about.
……
Even though the Mongolians had repeatedly invaded the south, their comprehensive national strength was comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty. What they relied on was their powerful mobility and the incomparable military accomplishments of the farming people.
If we fight for national strength, Meng... Gu was not Da Ming's opponent.
As for schemes and plots, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were the ancestors of the Mongolian generals. The ancient ancestors were still playing with mud.
When Zhu Yijun returned to Yangxin Palace Hall to take an afternoon nap, Li Rusong and the other generals had already opened the imperial edict, which clearly stated the Emperor's intentions.
They had entered the grasslands from Liaodong with a huge momentum to create a smokescreen. The cabinet had already received accurate news that Horqin's 120,000 cavalry had attacked Datong, leaving the rear empty.
If Keerqin didn't come back to help, they would attack the rear of Keerqin. If Keerqin led the army back, they could retreat to Yanmen Pass.
If a small force of ten to twenty thousand men came, they would be immediately devoured.
As for Datong Prefecture, Zhu Yijun ordered the Commander of the Brocade Guards, Zhu Xixiao, to lead 5,000 Brocade Guards and 3,000 Shenji Firearms Battalion soldiers to reinforce them.
Zhu Xixiao led the Brocade Guards to guard the capital and was good at fighting. After Zhu Yijun entered the palace, he felt that the defenses of Datong Prefecture were still lacking. If the Mongolian soldiers attacked crazily, it would be difficult to resist. Therefore, he sent his most elite troops.
the Royal Guards carry embroidered spring blades.
The three-thousand Divine Arms Battalion was fully armed, carrying a hundred cannons, three-thousand muskets, and sufficient ammunition…
The gunners of the Divine Arms Battalion were not good at guerrilla warfare, but if they were stationed in a city, the Divine Arms Battalion only needed to place their cannons on the city walls to establish a remarkable feat.
