Jiayu Pass!
Zeng Xi arranged everything one by one. Hu Zongxian and Qiu Luan watched with trepidation.
It had to be said that Zeng Xi's deployment of troops was very bold.
However, it was like a silver needle entering an acupuncture point, hitting a vital point!
The war had yet to begin, but they were already planning a backup plan when the Tartars were defeated! And the number of troops arranged for each step didn't exceed 10,000.
Mount Tortoise was located on the west side of Jiayu Pass, behind the Tartar army.
Outside the Jiayu Pass, the middle corridor was flat, except for some small hills on the west side, which were called Turtle Mountain.
If the ambush troops were deployed here, once the battle at the front was successful and the Tartar army retreated, it would definitely have a miraculous effect.
Hu Zongxian and Qiu Luan were deep in thought. Zeng Xi had deployed at most 50,000 men just now, and there were still 450,000 left. They could not help but ask,"Marshal Zeng, what do you plan to do with the remaining soldiers?”
Zeng Xi said solemnly," I will leave 50,000 soldiers to guard the pass. The rest of you will march to the Tartar Kingdom and destroy the barbarian tribes!"”
In Zeng Xi's opinion, there were more than 100,000 soldiers stationed at Jiayu Pass. Even if they could not defeat them, they would not lose!
Moreover, according to his plan, he would definitely win this battle!
Why would they waste too many troops and waste their opportunity?
……
Forbidden City, Heart-nourishing Hall.
After the cabinet was cleared up, everything was gradually on the right track. There was no second assistant position, and the heavy responsibility fell on the head assistant Wang Shouren.
However, Zhu Zaihou's burden was not light either.
Memorials piled up like a small mountain on the dragon table. The new emperor ascended the throne to clean up the court and thoroughly investigate corruption.
There were even some memorials that had been piled up during the late emperor's time…
However, Zhu Zaihou did not say anything. Since he had ascended the throne and become the emperor, he naturally wanted this riddled Ming Dynasty to bloom with a different luster in his hands.
It might even make the entire Great Ming Empire dazzling in the world…
Zhu Zaihou had such thoughts, as if he could already see the prosperity of the Ming Empire in the near future.
The Dazzling Empire stood proudly at the top of the world, making other countries unable to reach it.
Ding dong. Li Chengliang personally led 3,000 cavalrymen to the Shaman tribe!
Ding-dong. The Shaman tribe has been conquered. Thirty thousand stone of rations and thirty thousand livestock have been obtained…
Ding-dong. The light cavalry lieutenant has led 3,000 light cavalry to rescue 200 Ming people. He has received 200 merit points.
……
The system's good news kept ringing in Zhu Zaihou's mind, but what left the deepest impression on him was the merit points that suddenly appeared.
Ding dong. The system activated it.
[Battle Exchange Shop option: Conquer other countries and obtain respect points from other countries 'citizens…You can exchange for various weapons, heavy industry, and other research blueprints.]
[Construction Exchange Shop Option: Build Great Ming and obtain merit points. You can exchange them for various industrial and commercial research blueprints.]
[PS: The host can choose one.]
[Note: Spend 100 million taels of silver and you can activate it at the same time.]
The choice this time was different from the past. If he chose one of the exchange shops, the other would not disappear.
Looking at these two exchange shops, Zhu Zaihou decisively chose the Battle Exchange Shop!
Although building an exchange shop could help Zhu Zaihou develop the Ming Empire and accumulate wealth faster.
However! No matter how fast it was, could it be faster than conquering other countries and plundering wealth?
Conquering other countries, making all countries submit, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of subjects fear, spreading the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the amount of respect points he would bring would be massive!
It could even be said that after Zhu Zaihou plundered a few countries, he could naturally gather 100 million taels of silver to open the exchange shop!
[Ding-dong: The host has selected the Battle Exchange Shop. Merit Points will be automatically converted into Respect Points.]
Zhu Zaihou.
[Wealth: 6.3 million taels of silver.]
[Cultivation Method: Son of Heaven's Dragon Control Technique (Level Twelve), Heaven's Finger (Level Twelve)]
[Shop: Battle Exchange Shop]
[Unopened Shop: Build an Exchange Shop (100 million taels of silver to unlock)]
[Respect Points: 200 points]
[Merit Points: Unactivated.]
……
Zhu Zaihou checked his attributes and description and found that the functions that had not been activated were all grayish-white.
And behind these functions, there was a sign that said 100 million taels of silver was unlocked.
Although the Ming Empire was still strong on the surface, Zhu Zaihou knew in his heart that it was already riddled with holes and was about to collapse.
Now, the appearance of the Battle Exchange Shop could be said to be a timely help.
If they could exchange for machine guns and heavy artillery, with the current strength of the various countries, who could resist the pace of the Ming Empire?
With excitement in his heart, Zhu Zaihou carefully flipped through the exchange blueprints on each page.
[flintlock blueprint: 5000 points]
[Enhanced firing mechanism blueprint: 10000 points.]
[Copper Flare Rifle Blueprint: 15000 points.]
[Bolt-action rifle blueprint: 30000 points.]
……
Zhu Zaihou read two pages in a row and found that most of the guns on these blueprints were modern weapons.
Why aren't there any modern weapons?"
[Ding-Dong: The blueprint that appears in the Exchange Shop is based on the existing industry.]
……
Outside the Jiayu Pass.
In the Tartar army tent.
An Dahan ordered the tribal warriors to escort the people of Ming Dynasty and coerce the garrison of Jiayu Pass to surrender.
It was noon.
All the tribe leaders gathered in the camp and questioned Andahan's solution.
Last night, Andahan told the tribal leaders that he had a good plan to break through Jiayu Pass.
However, today at noon, there was still no movement from Andahan.
If it was any other time, they could wait, but now the reinforcements of the Great Ming Army were almost here.
If this dragged on, not to mention breaking through Jiayu Pass and going straight to the capital, it would be very risky to even take advantage of the surrounding cities in Gansu.
The tribe leaders were like ants on a hot pan, wishing they could take out their weapons and fight the soldiers of Great Ming.
This kind of waiting made them feel an inexplicable fear and unease.
Similarly, Andahan was also a little puzzled. Calculating the time, the escorted commoners would arrive at 7:00.
However, it was already noon and there was no news.
"Report ~"
An urgent military cry sounded outside the camp. Andahan seemed to have caught the light before dawn and said in surprise,"That's great! He's here!"
Under the watchful eyes of the tribal leaders, a tatar-looking warrior staggered into the camp.
Andahan looked at the scene in front of him in shock, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
"Great Khan, something bad has happened. On the way to escort the Great Ming captives, we suddenly encountered an unknown number of Great Ming cavalrymen.”
"The 300 warriors responsible for escorting them were all killed. Only one subordinate escaped.”
" What?!"
Andahan cried out in shock and roared in disbelief,""How did this happen? Why did the Great Ming Cavalry appear on the way to escort them?”
At the same time, the other tribe leaders were also shocked and terrified as they stared at Andahan.
Before they could recover from the shock, an urgent report came from outside the camp.
"What now?"
Andahan was now extremely furious. The only brilliant plan that could allow him to break through with the least amount of casualties had been exposed for no reason!
Until now, he really could not think of anything worse than this!
"Great Khan, the Ming Dynasty cavalry attacked the border of the Tartar Kingdom today. The old and young of the Shaman tribe died, and no one survived…"
