At the general platform.
When Zhu Changluo heard the news of the Tartars entering the valley, his face turned extremely cold.
Humph!
A cold snort came out from his nostrils, and he turned to look at Qi Jin."Senior, let's call the battle on the Drill Ground a draw. We can't go on any longer. We need Senior's Qi Family Army to cooperate with me on something.”
"A loss is a loss. What draw? Nephew, are you looking down on me as an elder?”Qi Jin glared at Zhu Ke and waved his hand nonchalantly."Tell us, how do you want us to cooperate with you?”
Zhu Changluo whispered into his ear.
Qi Jin's eyes lit up when he heard that. He laughed heartily and said,"It works, this method works, haha…"
"General Lou, take the remaining 1,500 soldiers of the Qi Family's Army equipped with conventional firearms and sabers, and 500 soldiers who can still fight from the 1,000 flintlocks in the drill ground to form a special battalion of 2,000 soldiers!”Qi Jin immediately ordered.
Zhu Changluo had already walked to the edge of the platform.
The moment he walked over, the elites of the Ye He Tribe who had gathered around the platform instantly stopped talking.
When Jin Tai Shi and his son saw this scene, their expressions became extremely ugly.
Jintai Shi sighed inwardly.
The Jurchen worshiped heroes. When she was in Nuergandusi, the hero in the eyes of the Jurchen was Nurhachi.
The 13th Deputy Armors started their army and took down a huge territory.
However, Ye He Tribe now worshipped and respected Zhu Ke, who was standing on the platform!
500 troops defeated 30,000 elite Tartars and annihilated 13,000 enemies!
After the elites of the Ye He Tribe entered the pass and were under Zhu Ke's control, these matters quickly spread among the tribesmen.
Secondly, Zhu Ke treated the elites of the Ye He tribe well. The clansmen outside the pass were all good. In addition, it was close to the Taiping Village, which was a luxury in the eyes of some clansmen in the past.
Things like silk and tea leaves also became ordinary.
Moreover, because Zhu Ke was in charge, the merchants who came out of seclusion to sell their goods did not dare to ask for exorbitant prices, which were equal to the price of Taiping Village inside the pass.
The Ye He Tribe had migrated and settled outside the pass. At first, the tribe members were somewhat uneasy.
As the convenience and benefits in every aspect of his daily life increased, his uneasiness gradually disappeared, and his longing for his old residence in Xihai City gradually lessened.
The tribesmen had already spontaneously built a stone wall around the settlement that was half the height of a person.
If the Tatars had not gone south, the people would have been grazing on the grass and mountains outside the pass.
At the same time, they would pick up stones. At sunset, when they returned with the cows and sheep, they would pick up the stones that the cows and sheep had dragged out. They would sing the ancient idyllic songs of the Ye He tribe. The extravagant women would laugh and sing as they piled the stones that they had picked up for the day on the stone wall.
He would build another city outside Peace Stronghold.
This was Zhu Ke's suggestion.
Jintai Shi saw Zhu Ke's ambition as a general of the Ming army from this suggestion.
The Stone City built by the Ye He Tribe belonged to the tribes of the Northern Frontier.
He even guessed that Zhu Ke was trying to use this method to slowly encroach on the grassland territory around Peace Stronghold.
Although the battle between Zhu Ke's new army and the Qi Family Army was considered a draw, everyone knew that the new army had won.
The elites of Ye He's troops undoubtedly respected Zhu Ke even more.
Zhu Changluo was still the elite of the Ye He Tribe in front of the platform. He was very satisfied and shouted,"The Ye He Tribe is now a citizen of my Great Ming!”
"As a general of Great Ming, this commander will definitely not allow the people of Great Ming to be persecuted by any external enemies!”
"And you are my subordinates! I will not let your parents, wives, and children come to any harm. Now, Ye He Tribe, listen up! Form up!"
Crash!
The soldiers of Ye He's troops gathered under the platform quickly followed Zhu Ke's orders and began to form up.
"Everyone, head to the pass city and climb the Great Wall. On the city walls, do not make any noise. Without orders, do not come out of seclusion.”
……
While Zhu Changluo was giving orders to the elites of the Ye He Division, Ye Bangrong walked to Qi Jin's side and said worriedly,""Commander, if you go out to fight the Tatars, you are stirring up trouble at the border.”
"Those bastards from the central command, even if they win and make contributions, it's probably a sin. Should we persuade nephew Zhu Ke?”
Ye Bangrong thought that Zhu Ke was going to unite the Qi Army to fight the Tartars.
Therefore, he was very worried.
He didn't lose on purpose.
Although the Qi Family's Army had lost in the battle drill, their improvement was still very obvious compared to before. There were even new troops of ten thousand men, Zhu Kebu.
The possibility of winning was not small.
He was worried about the Imperial Court.
The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty had always been weak, especially after the Tumu Fortress Rebellion. They were weak externally, but internally, regardless of whether they won or lost against the border troops who were good at stirring up trouble, if they had no background in the court, they would be reprimanded by the central government or dismissed from office.
Even if Zhu Ke was a popular person in the court, Ye Bangrong did not think that the civil officials would tolerate this.
Qi Jin smiled and patted Ye Bangrong's shoulder.""Don't worry, it's not a wild victory against the Tartars, but it's more interesting than a wild victory!”
"If you do it well, it will be a greater threat to Chechen Hanbuyan than Yingzhan Yuye. You, me, and General Lou will personally participate this time!”
Ye Bangrong was even more puzzled.
On the drill ground, the soldiers had already ascended the city gate in order under the urging and guidance of the generals.
"Commander, we hope to be able to go up to the Great Wall and watch the commander fight the Tartars!”
In the crowd, Daishan, who was disguised as a merchant, pleaded loudly.
"Yes, Commander, we hope to see the Great Ming soldiers beat up the Tatars!”
"Commander…"
……
Zhu Changluo listened to the pleas of the commoners and pondered for a moment before waving at Xiong Tingbi, who was not far away.
Xiong Tingbi jogged over, and Zhu Ke ordered,""Pacify the people, and at the same time, tell the generals guarding the pass that no one is allowed to approach the city!”
After Xiong Tingbi left, Qi Jin asked in confusion,""Nephew, why don't you allow the people to enter the city to watch?”
The Qi Family's Army had lost in the battle drill.
Qi Jin still felt a little regretful. He wanted to show off his skills in front of the citizens of the Ji Prefecture Guard outside the pass.
He was the only one who knew Zhu Ke's chance.
Zhu Changluo could guess Qi Jin's thoughts. He spread his hands and smiled bitterly."Senior, how much attention have we attracted in this battle? "If it's only within our Great Ming, even if it's our enemy, it's fine. What I'm most afraid of is that there are still external enemies paying attention to it.”
"The confrontation exercise has already shown us a lot of things. We'll leave some surprises for later.”
Qi Jin thought about it and immediately understood.
Zhu Ke didn't want too many people to know the foundation of the new army.
At the same time, he also became serious as he sized up Zhu Ke."Nephew, it seems that you still held back during the confrontation exercise just now!”Qi Jin could not help but smile bitterly.
He could fight to such an extent even if he held back.
What if he didn't hold back?
Zhu Changluo hurriedly waved his hand." Senior, you've misunderstood. Zhu Yu and the others really did their best in the close-combat exercise just now."”
Qi Jin was skeptical, but he finally felt a little better.
Zhu Changluo then made an inviting gesture.""Senior, this time, I will personally lead the army. Since we want to give that old thing Bu Yan a surprise, then we will go all out. From now on, we must at least make sure that Bu Yan does not dare to cross the border for the rest of his life!”
"Good!" Qi Jin was also influenced by Zhu Changluo's ambition and praised him.
Immediately, the two of them led their troops out of seclusion.
"Elders, swords and spears have no eyes. Please wait patiently for the good news outside the pass. The commander will definitely be able to make the Tartars retreat.”
Xiong Tingbi led a group of scholars in front of the commoners on the drill ground and tried to persuade them.
The citizens gradually calmed down from their excitement.
Daishan realized that it was definitely not as simple as Xiong Tingbi and the others had said.
There must be something that Zhu Ke was unwilling to show in front of others!
Daishan was very anxious. Seeing that only the tail of the army was left, he was eager to follow and see what was going on.
What Zhu Ke had shown was already shocking, but he didn't show how shocking it would be to use it on the Tartars.
This question made Daishan anxious.
It also made the spies sent by various parties to secretly observe the confrontation drill anxious. They wanted to reveal their identities and request to follow them out of seclusion.
And someone had already done so.
