Dong dong dong ~
Barrels of kerosene rolled down from the two sides of the sky.
The soldiers lit the tips of the arrows that they had prepared beforehand.
"Release the arrows!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The rain of fire poured down from all over the sky and covered the earth as it swept towards the Jurchen cavalry.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
With the flames surrounding them, the Jurchen cavalrymen had nowhere to hide in this narrow space.
The moment the arrow ignited the kerosene, a flood of fire swept over, devouring the lives of the Jurchen cavalrymen below.
ah ~
The tragic wails were heart-wrenching.
Those Jurchen cavalrymen who tried to rush out of the line of sky were instantly shot dead by the cavalrymen of the three camps before they could even charge forward.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of the Crouching Tiger Cannon shot up into the sky and reverberated in One-Line-Sky for a long time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The falling rocks smashed into the bodies of the cavalrymen, burying them in the sea of fire.
More than 100,000 people were trapped here, and their howls rushed hundreds of miles away.
In less than an hour, the Sea of Fire had devoured all of these 100,000-plus Zhenrens.
The original clamor had long been replaced by the crackling of fire.
More than 100,000 outsiders were killed here, but the Ming army paid a small price.
At the same time, it also avoided the risk of plague caused by the inability to bury the dead bodies.
On the city pass in the distance, Wang Shouren's eyes were like torches, looking at the fire that lit up in the dark night without any fluctuation.
On this night, he burned the lives of more than 100,000 people, committing a monstrous crime.
However! He had no regrets!
If he was given another chance, he would still do the same!
"Pass down my order, immediately clean up the battlefield, collect the weapons and warhorses of the Jurchen foreigners, and calculate the casualties.”
"Contact the movements of North Korea as soon as possible. After meeting up with Vice General Qian Ning, we will wipe out the Jurchen in Jianzhou!”
"Understood!"
……
Several days later.
Forbidden City.
Morning court.
A soldier rode a horse and rushed out of the Xuanzheng Hall.
According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who was in urgent need of military affairs could ride a horse straight to the White Stone Square.
Other than that, he would be executed!
In the Hall of Political Decrees.
Zhu Houzhao was discussing important matters with the officials.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard outside the palace.
"Report!"
"Report!"
"An urgent report from the Jianzhou Guards!”
"Good news! Good news! Jianzhou Jurchen, Yeh Nala, Wu La and other enemy troops were all executed! We seized countless warhorses and weapons."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He suppressed the joy in his heart and said in a clear voice,"Hurry up and present it!"
At the same time, all the officials were excited.
Wang Shouren and Qian Ning did not disappoint His Majesty and the Imperial Court. The crisis of the Ming Dynasty was finally resolved!
Deng, deng, deng ~
The soldier hurried to the main hall and respectfully handed the document to the eunuch.
The moment Zhu Houzhao opened the document, all the officials in the court looked forward to it.
The document recorded the battle in detail.
At the same time, Wang Shouren pushed the main credit of eliminating the enemy to Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao.
"Your Majesty, the heads of the Jurchen, Yeh Nala, Wu La, and other tribal leaders are already outside the hall.”
When this voice rang out in the hall, the civil and military officials in the court revealed looks of joy.
General Zhu Houzhao handed the report to the eunuch and said without anger,""Read!"
The eunuch respectfully received the report and read it aloud in the Xuanzheng Hall.
When the civil and military officials heard this, the stones in their hearts instantly turned into dust and dissipated. They were completely refreshed.
Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, cried tears of joy. He quickly walked out of the court and said respectfully,"Your Majesty, the soldiers at the front line have made great contributions. Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and the others from Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa have even cut off the heads of the foreign leaders without fear of death and made a great contribution!”
"I think we should reward the three armies to show Your Majesty's kindness.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said in a clear voice,""The old man is right, I have such intentions!”
"Pass on my decree. Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa's Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao are not afraid of death. They personally beheaded the leader of the foreign tribe and made a meritorious deed.”
"The head of the Military Personnel Selection Department, Wang Shouren, has made great contributions to the rescue of the Jianzhou Guards. He has seized countless weapons and rations, and has been conferred the title of Commander of the Jianzhou Guards.”
"Your Majesty is wise."
The officials finished speaking.
However, Zhu Houzhao was not immersed in the joy of the news.
When all the civil and military officials in the court were delighted by this victory, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up and said in a dignified manner,""Now that the power of the foreign tribes has been eliminated, we should take advantage of their unstable foundation to annihilate them in one fell swoop and stabilize the border.”
"Order Wang Shouren and Qian Ning to go deep into the mountains and take every step carefully. Even if they have to go thousands of miles deep, they must eliminate all of them!”
When the officials heard this, they were shocked at first, but then they were overjoyed by the Emperor's words.
Although the Emperor was young, his heroic bearing was not inferior to Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle.
Zhu Houzhao understood the principle of taking advantage of his weakness to take his life.
While the officials were rejoicing over the Emperor's wise decision, Zhu Houzhao's other edict shocked them.
The imperial edict ordered the thirteen affiliated countries of Ming Dynasty to prepare tribute silver to fill up the previous missing annual tribute.
Anyone who has not taken action since receiving the imperial edict of the Ming Emperor shall be executed!
At the same time, among the thirteen affiliated kingdoms of Ming Dynasty, other than North Korea, the other affiliated kingdoms had long recognized the seriousness of the situation after learning the news of the defeat of the Jurchen army in Jianzhou.
Originally, they thought that Great Ming had already begun to decline, but this battle let them truly see Great Ming's strength.
Big Ming was still that Big Ming!
The kings of the affiliated kingdoms were all in fear and trepidation, afraid that the Ming Emperor would blame them for not paying the annual tribute in previous years.
Immediately, the kings of the affiliated kingdoms issued an edict overnight to collect taxes to make up for the annual tribute.
As for North Korea's monarch, he felt that his actions were wise.
If he had refused to send troops to attack the rear of the Jianzhou Jurchen, the first country he would have destroyed would have been North Korea!
