Zhu Wusi VS Zhu Zhongba, Zhu Wusi won!
As soon as the two sides clashed, Yang Ziqiao suffered a crushing defeat.
The warships of both sides had their own strengths. The imperial navy's warships were uniform in size, and their firepower was concentrated and concentrated. King Ning's rebel warships had many sizes, and the number of warships was more than ten times that of the soldiers. It was easy to encircle them and launch wolf pack tactics.
However, no matter how wide the Yangtze River was, it was still a river, and the width of the water was limited. Yang Ziqiao's warships were suitable for lake battles, and now that they were on the Yangtze River, only the warships in front could launch an attack, and the warships in the back could only watch helplessly.
The opposite side only needed four warships to cover the entire river, and with the firepower of King Ning's army, how could they resist? The bandits on the warship in the back could not bear the loneliness, and with great difficulty fired two cannons, but one of the cannons hit the main mast of their warship in front, blowing it off.
The 'Zhu Yuanzhang' hanging on the sail stared, and like a tiger, it pounced down and plunged into the river. Yang Ziqiao was so angry that he cursed, and ordered the warships in the back to squat down, and not to fire another cannon.
Yang Ziqiao's wolf pack tactics could not be used, and the enemy's bullets poured down endlessly. The whole fleet was like plowing the ground, rolling over the surging river, using cannons to open the way, and rushing forward. Especially Peng Shaosha's fleet, which had suffered a loss in the last confrontation, this time they fought to their heart's content.
Yang Ziqiao was commanding the battle at the bow of the ship, when a solid shell fired from a heavy cannon smashed over, and with a boom, a large hole with a radius of one zhang was smashed into the deck. Yang Ziqiao was standing near the point of impact, and immediately fell into the hole.
The solid deck was smashed into a crisscross shape, and his neck slid across a sharp piece of hardwood. When he was rescued, his heavy clothes were soaked in blood, and he was already dead.
The commander-in-chief had died in battle, and the already defeated King Ning's rebel army was like a group of dragons without a leader. It was even more chaotic. Da Gouzi was originally holding the line in the rear. He hurriedly drove a medium-sized warship to catch up and replace the commander. But just as his warship arrived, it was sunk by a volley of cannonballs. Da Gouzi then used his unique skill of dog paddling and paddled to the front of a Cang Mountain ship before being rescued by his subordinates.
Da Gouzi saw the Ming army's cannons roared and they had no way to fight back. Da Gouzi had no choice but to lead the escape. Taking advantage of the fact that the boats crossed each other and covered the surface of the river, the battleships at the back turned around and escaped. Less than half of them managed to escape, the rest were either captured or sunk by the soldiers.
When the report of the great victory arrived in Nanjing, Emperor Zhengde had just entered the city. The messengers held high the red flag of the great victory and shouted the news on the long street. For a moment the people of the city shouted 'Long live the Emperor', the six ministries and nine ministers bowed down to him like a falling mountain.
Emperor Zhengde was dressed in military attire and riding a horse majestically. Yang Ling had a clown's nose on his head appearing in front of tens of thousands of people. He felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, but at this time he had nowhere to hide, so he could only brace himself and let people see him.
Yongchun, as the main culprit, had absolutely no idea that it was she who pushed open the door that caused the grand duke to become like this. Standing among the crowd of palace maids, she was as happy as a little magpie.
Jiang Bin welcomed the Emperor into the city and returned home at night. He had just sat down tiredly at the head of the bed when Wang Mantang hurriedly walked in. She carried a cup of hot tea and placed it on the table at the head of the bed. She then squatted down to help Jiang Bin take off his heavy military boots. In a soft voice she asked, "Didn't the Emperor enter the city before noon? Why are you busy until now?"
Jiang Bin chuckled and said, "I am one of the generals responsible for the defense of the city. Now that the Emperor is here, I can't leave for even a moment. I'm so busy, so tired."
He saw that Wang Mantang had ordered a servant girl to bring hot water to personally wash his feet and hurriedly said, "Don't be busy, I was just passing by your house and came back to rest. In a moment, I still have to return to the top of the city wall. King Ning's army is not far from here, the battle is imminent."
Wang Mantang buried her head in washing his feet and said, "Hmm, the food is still warm. Eat a bite before you leave. The food in the army is not as delicious as the food at home."
Jiang Bin made a sound of agreement and slightly narrowed his eyes. "The Emperor has arrived in Nanjing and the people's hearts are greatly at ease. Today, there was news that King Ning's navy suffered a great defeat. The court seized and destroyed more than 500 warships. The entire city is laughing. Hee hee, but don't you think it's strange that there is someone with a melancholy expression, as if he has a bellyful of worries. "
Wang Mantang's hand paused. She then continued to wash his feet and said in a low voice, "You are talking about … him, right?"
Jiang Bin grunted and said, "If it's not him, who else can it be? As long as he appears within 300 feet of me, I don't need to raise my head to know he's here. "
Jiang Bin clenched his teeth and smiled. "Qian Ning and I have been enemies for a lifetime. If I don't look at him, who should I look at?"
Wang Mantang picked up a towel to wipe his feet, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. She worriedly said, "Master, his official rank is much higher than yours, and he also belongs to the Imperial Bodyguard. His hands and eyes are everywhere. Even if you rise to the rank of commander or commander-in-chief, it's not worthwhile to fight with this kind of person. If you aren't careful, your reputation will be ruined."
She lowered her head and faintly said, "Master, a higher official can crush people to death. Some things, if you can endure it, just endure it. This servant … this servant is only a lowly woman, not worthy of Master treating me like this."
Jiang Bin became annoyed and said in a rough voice, "Well, let's not talk about this."
Looking at Wang Mantang's aggrieved appearance, he softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, I won't be reckless. After suffering twice, I know what kind of person Qian Ning is, and I also know why he dares to bully people like this. I will always be waiting, waiting to take advantage of his weakness. "
A cold smile appeared on Jiang Bin's lips: "Don't think that I haven't studied for a few days. Hmph, hmph, I understand the ways of the officialdom. Ning Wang is willing to spend a large sum of money to go to the capital to get traffic officials. The nearby Nanjing is the gateway to the north to the capital. How could he not spend a large sum of money to bribe officials?
The most powerful people in Nanjing are Garrison Guan and Qian Ning. Garrison Guan is an honest man who knows his place. Although he is also greedy, he does not dare to do anything illegal. Qian Ning, on the other hand, as long as you give him money, he will even steal the moon.
Now that the Emperor has arrived and Nanjing is stabilized, as the number one official of the Discipline Commission of Southern Town, there is no joy on his face. Instead, he looks lost and worried. It would be strange if there is no ghost here. In my opinion, even if he did not rely on King Ning, he must have done a lot of things for King Ning in secret, that's why he is so afraid. "
Wang Mantang had already stood up. Jiang Bin pulled her arm and let her sit in his arms. He gently kneaded her soft and plump buttocks and said proudly, "Mantang, I won't hide it from you. Taking advantage of the fact that King Ning's troops are here and I am in charge of the city defence, I have already found a few trusted brothers to find a chance to deal with him. But after seeing his expression today, I don't plan to do it. "
His eyes darkened and he smiled coldly, "This person and King Ning must be inextricably linked, so it seems that I don't have to take the risk to kill him. When King Ning arrives, my chance to make a career has arrived; when King Ning falls, his insufferably arrogant Garrison Qian will also fall. "

"Where is King Ning?"
"Your Majesty, King Ning personally leads 60,000 troops and horses and is about to arrive in Nanling."
"Good! Immediately gather the soldiers and follow me to battle! "When Zhengde heard this, he happily ordered.
Xu Tai heard this and was greatly alarmed: "Emperor, Nanjing City has already set up an inescapable net and is just waiting for Ning Wang to come to his death. Emperor is an honorable person, how can you personally go out to battle and enter a dangerous place?"
Zhengde raised his eyebrows and said, "What a joke, do you want me to wait for him to attack in Nanjing? Should I suppress the rebellion or hide from it? What is the point of guarding here? The one who strikes first controls the others, the one who strikes later controls the others. The country belongs to me, but do I want him to fight when he wants to and retreat when he wants to?
We will take the initiative to suppress the rebellion! The Son of Heaven personally goes to battle, we must have the prestige of the Son of Heaven personally going to battle! I want to let Ning Wang Shu know that other than being a bit younger than him, Zhu Houzhao has nothing that he can compare to. If he dares to play tricks on zhen's head, zhen will beat him into a sorry state, and let those ambitious people know their place. "
Zhengde looked around and said, "Why don't you speak? King Ning and his motley crew dared to come to Nanjing, do you, the generals who have been through hundreds of battles, dare not to go to battle? "
Xu Tai, Jiang Bin, Ma Ang and the generals of the capital camp all cupped their hands and said, "We are willing to be the vanguard of the royal court, to fight the enemy bravely and never retreat!"
"Good!" Zhengde was overjoyed. He habitually looked at the civil officials. Sure enough, the officials of the Six Ministries of Nanjing had inherited the fine tradition of the Six Ministries of Beijing. They adhered to the principle, "As long as the Emperor agrees, we oppose. Good advice must be unpleasant to the ear, if it is not unpleasant to the ear, it is not good advice. Otherwise, we can't show the belief that we are loyal officials. "Valiantly, he walked out of class.
Taking advantage of the old age of the Six Ministries' slow movements, they did not have time to kneel down, hug his thigh and cry. Emperor Zhengde rushed to shout, "Then immediately go to battle and sweep away the rebels. At this moment, those who dare to say retreat and defend are all cowards who are afraid of death, traitors who collude with Ning Ning. According to the law, your entire family will be executed! "
"Bam!" The old men of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers had just lifted their robes and knelt down. When they heard Zhengde's words, they were dumbfounded.
Zhengde narrowed his eyes and asked, "Dear officials, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Ah … Ah … We respectfully wish our Emperor a long life. Victory upon the first battle and success!"
The Emperor personally led the army. These soldiers were the most elite troops of the two capitals, and also the army with the most complete firearms in Ming Destiny's army. The two armies had a total of 100,000 people. They were divided into 20 battalions, and each battalion had 5,000 soldiers.
In the entire battalion, there were 3,600 infantrymen. In addition to swords and shields, they were all equipped with infantry firearms. There were 1,000 cavalrymen. In addition to sabers, spears, and other cold weapons, half of them were equipped with multi-barreled firearms, and the other half were equipped with crossbows. In addition, there were 400 people. Each person was equipped with a short-barreled firearm. At the same time, they were equipped with 160 General Cannons and 200 Large Rapid-Fire Cannons.
With such terrifying firepower, it would be a nightmare for the opponent during a mid-range assault. If the monarchs of Europe had seen this proportion of firearms, they would have drooled with envy. If any of them had an army equipped with such dense firearms, they would have swept the entire Europe.
If the subsequent emperors in Ming Destiny's history were not alchemists and carpenters, but emperors with great talents and enterprising spirits like Qin Huang and Han Wu, then New York on the other side of the Pacific Ocean would have been called the 'New Chang' an '.
King Ning's army split into two routes to attack Nanjing. The scouts shuttled back and forth to report the news. "Emperor Zhengde entered Nanjing first. The navy was defeated by the Ming army carrying the spirit tablet of Old Master Zhu Wusi, who had long been forgotten by King Ning." These news were like two heavy bombs that made him dizzy.
Emperor Zhengde had reached Nanjing first. For King Ning, he had lost the initiative. It would be more than twice as difficult for him to attack Nanjing. Moreover, the wavering morale of the entire Jiangnan army and people would change because of this.
King Ning fell into despair. His army had just arrived in Wuhu and was forced to station here to study countermeasures. Could they still move forward? Their military strength was not as good as the Ming army's, their equipment was not as good as the Ming army's, and they did not have the right time, the right place, and the right people. How could they attack the impregnable Stone City?
King Ning gathered his subordinates and explained the current situation. All the civil and military officials under his command became nervous. Even Li Ziran, who had advocated for King Ning to attack Nanjing with all his strength for the sake of revenge, was aware of the danger at the moment. Moving forward was hopeless, retreating was like sitting ducks and waiting for death. Where was their way out?
Liu Yangzheng was silent for a while before he reported, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, why don't we quickly withdraw our troops and attack Anqing. We can take the city when it is unprepared. As long as we take Anqing, first, we can use it as a base to resist the imperial army in the north. Second, we can coordinate with the army stationed at Jiujiang. After that, we can plan for the future. What does Your Majesty think?"
Liu Yangzheng was King Ning's' literary courage '. This person's courage was indeed very big. There was a saying,' the ignorant are fearless'. Liu Juren was very fearless. He had always boasted of himself as Guan Zhong, Kong Ming, and Liu Bowen. These people were born in troubled times and had accomplished great deeds. Which ruler that they had assisted had not experienced a crushing defeat and was besieged on all sides?
Wasn't the current situation very similar? Therefore, Prime Minister Liu was very confident that in King Ning's army, only this paper strategist was left who was blindly optimistic.
Li Ziran calculated for a long time. He felt that it was difficult to advance at this time, but it was even more difficult to retreat. Tens of thousands of troops had gathered together at the last minute. Their bravery was based on their momentum. Now that they had heard the news and retreated, the morale of the troops would definitely be broken. If they attacked, perhaps there would still be a chance. Especially when Zhengde had reached Nanjing. If they did not hesitate to attack Nanjing and control Zhengde, then this battle would be a success.
Li Ziran thought about this and explained his analysis to King Ning. King Ning walked around the table, his heart filled with reluctance. Right now, he was treading on thin ice, as if he was facing an abyss. The dilemma made his face look as if he had suddenly aged ten years. His complexion had a hint of defeat.
Advancing into Nanjing was a dead end! Returning to Jiangxi and waiting for death! Then returning to attack Anqing? Was Zhengde's army useless? As long as they found out that he had retreated, they would immediately chase after him. Could he take Anqing before they arrived?
Everyone was waiting for his decision. His Majesty Emperor Zhu Chenhao, who had great ambitions but no great talent, had yet to come up with a definite idea when a scout on horseback rushed in in a panic. He knelt on the ground and reported, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the situation is not good. The Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty is personally leading the army. The vanguard is already ten miles away!"
"What?" King Ning and the civil and military officials were all shocked. King Ning said in a panic, "Quick! Get into formation immediately and fight to the death with the Ming army! "
There was no time to get into formation. King Ning's army had galloped all the way here and had just stopped. The army unloaded the tents and provisions from the horses and carriages. Those who set up the tents set up the tents and those who cooked cooked. Those who set up the tents had just smashed down the iron bolts, those who cooked had just put the rice into the pot. But the enemy's troops and horses were galloping all the way. There was no time for him to get into formation.
King Ning's horse scout had traveled twenty li to gather information. When he found that the Ming army was coming aggressively and that there was still the dragon flag of the Son of Heaven and Earth in the army, he immediately turned his horse and left. But he was not used to the terrain of Jiangnan. He galloped all the way, sometimes going up the slope, sometimes crossing the river. By the time he reached the main camp and threw himself into King Ning's tent, the court's soldiers were hot on his tail. They were already more than ten li away.
King Ning, accompanied by his aides, hurriedly climbed a hill and looked into the distance. Drums and horns roared and the armor clanged. Banners and banners flew like the clouds. Tens of thousands of court's elite soldiers were like a moving forest as they slowly approached. The cold gleaming weapons, sabers and spears, and the various banners fluttered high in the air. For a moment, the atmosphere was as majestic as a mountain.
The battle had begun in a hurry. The sound of killing was deafening. The Southern army was not skilled with bows and arrows, so the court's army's firearms were greatly enhanced. The roar of all kinds of cannons and muskets did not stop. Together, it was like an unbroken chain of rolling thunder that pressed down on the horizon.
Mournful shouts did not stop. In the billowing smoke, countless soldiers brandished their sabers and spears. Before they could charge into the Ming army's camp, they fell to the ground.
The Vanguard Battalion was the most elite Shenji Battalion of the Jing army. It was fully equipped with firearms. Even though Ning Wang's rebel army was mostly mountain bandits, water pirates and hoodlums, and all of them were Jianghu men who did not fear death, but flesh and blood couldn't stop the bullets. Under the bullets from the guns, the continuous cannons, and the cannons, Ning Wang's troops, who were skilled in martial arts and did not fear death, suffered countless casualties and were unable to advance even an inch.
King Ning's army was also in a killing frenzy. They had no way out and could only advance. They stepped over the bodies of their comrades and used countless lives as the price to exhaust the soldiers' ammunition. This caused them to increase the interval between reloading their guns and using this to close the distance between the two sides.
Many soldiers began to charge out of the court's army. When King Ning's army saw this, they were overjoyed. They thought that the other side was finally willing to meet them with sabers and spears. These Jianghu men of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks all raised the strange weapons that they were most comfortable with and roared as they charged forward.
The distance between the two sides grew smaller and smaller. Five hundred zhang, four hundred zhang, three hundred zhang. Closer, closer. The Ming soldiers charging over all raised one hand in unison and waved it behind them. Then they suddenly stopped and threw it forward. It was as if a large pile of broken bricks had flown through the air. Borrowing the momentum of the throw, the Ming soldiers all threw away their sabers and spears and fell forward. They lay there motionless.
The charging Jianghu men of King Ning's army clearly slowed down. What was going on? Even an idiot would know that something was wrong, but what was wrong?
"Boom, boom, boom, boom." After a series of explosions, there was a high-frequency vibrating sound, like the wailing of ghosts. Steel, lead shot, iron nails, and iron pieces made all kinds of sharp whistles as they pierced through the air. There was no place to dodge. All kinds of hidden weapons came at them from the front, side, and back.
A moment later, countless people fell to the ground. They threw away their sabers and spears and rolled on the ground as they cried. The screams of these men who were not afraid of death were slightly horrifying. Some people held their bloody faces and stared at a pair of eyes that flowed with blood and unknown liquid. They stumbled as they ran. No matter how hard they fell, they did not feel any pain.
The wretched screams gave people goosebumps. The grenades that the Northern army had just been equipped with were very useful. They rarely caused fatal injuries, but they could create large numbers of cripples. The grenades that were enough to destroy people's fighting spirit fell like rain into the ranks of King Ning's army.
The Ming soldiers repeated the actions of charging, throwing, and lying down. The cheap grenades and steel rained down. Flesh and blood were unstoppable. A large battle that had not officially come into close combat immediately took a turn. The cannons at the back of the Ming army raised their muzzles and continued to pour ammunition into the soldiers behind King Ning.
Although sharp firearms had many flaws, the King Ning's army was also infantry. Their bows and arrows were very weak. They could not circle around and surround them, charge quickly, or suppress them with firepower. Close combat, especially with the terrifying power of the grenades, had an unimaginable effect on the morale of an army that had never experienced such a terrifying scene.
With great difficulty, close combat finally began. King Ning's army, which had lost all their courage and were covered in casualties, could no longer fight against the court army, which had the advantage in numbers and high morale. A one-sided slaughter began again as they retreated.
Blades flashed and spear flashed. Flesh and blood flew. Corpses piled up and wailed. The Ming army shouted and charged forward. Caught off guard, King Ning's army collapsed. More and more corpses appeared on the ground. The shouts and roars traveled far into the sky.
※ ※ ※
"Retreat! Retreat immediately! " The King Ning's army, which had no power to fight back, retreated again and again. King Ning, who could not gather his defeated army, could only give the order in exasperation.
King Ning's army retreated in panic under the pursuit of the court army. The Ming army's morale increased. They chased relentlessly from behind. The vanguards and rearguards of both sides followed closely until they reached a large river that was seventy to eighty feet wide. King Ning disregarded the fact that there were still four to five thousand people in the rear who had not crossed the river. He decisively ordered the bridge to be blown up.
The artillery camp brought over the gunpowder. With a loud bang, the soldiers who had just escaped onto the bridge flew into the air along with the debris. The King Ning's army that had escaped across the river rejoiced at their escape. Seeing how ruthless King Ning was, they could not help but feel a sense of sympathy for the loss of their own kind.
Zhengde moved fast enough, but he only saw countless corpses along the way because King Ning's army fled even faster. By the time he reached the broken bridge, he saw that the army had been blocked by the river. King Ning's army had already escaped without a trace.
Zhengde was furious. He shouted, "Why didn't we cross the river to pursue?"
Jiang Bin hastily stepped forward and knelt down to report, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the river current is fast and cold. Just now, this official sent people to test it. Even if we only cross the river with light armor, the shorter soldiers in the middle of the river will be submerged and washed away. Moreover, our army mainly uses firearms. Once we cross the river, our battle power will be greatly reduced. It will be difficult for us to face the enemy. This official has already sent people to cut down trees nearby to build a pontoon bridge. "
Hearing this, Zhengde finally understood. Yang Ling galloped in front of Zhengde and said with a laugh, "Your Majesty personally led the army into battle. It is truly like a hot knife through butter. King Ning fled at the sight of the wind. He was basically unable to withstand a single blow."
Zhengde proudly said, "Wherever zhen's heavenly troops arrive, naturally the demons and monsters will not dare to lightly overtake them. Ah! Zhen is regretting it now! "
Yang Ling curiously asked, "What does Your Majesty regret?"
Zhengde said, "When Boyan Meng retreated his troops beyond the Great Wall, why did zhen send Wang Shouren to pursue and kill them? If zhen personally led the troops, presumably Boyan would already be zhen's prisoner. "
Yang Ling, "…"
His Majesty's confidence had inflated a little too quickly. In reality, if it weren't for the elite troops that Yang Ling had already stationed here and the navy to guard the natural stronghold of the Yangtze River, as well as the large number of firearms and grenades that were extremely effective in destroying the soldiers' willpower, how could this battle have gone so smoothly?
Of course, the most fundamental reason was: King Ning and Zhu Chenhao were really too useless.
In a short while, the tree-felling soldiers carried a simple and crude pontoon bridge and rushed to the riverside. Jiang Bin specially selected tall and sturdy soldiers to go down the river to hold up the bridge, but it was already December. Although they were in Jiangnan, the river water was still bone-chilling. The moment those strong soldiers entered the water, their lips turned purple and their faces paled. They swayed in the water, causing the soldiers to not dare to cross the river.
Seeing this, Zhengde's head heated up. He suddenly jumped off his horse and ran with large strides. Leaping into the river, he shouted, "Come down a little more. Use your hands to hold up the bridge steadily. Once we catch up to King Ning, zhen will arrange a large celebration feast to reward the three armies."
Yang Ling and the others were stunned. They cried out involuntarily, "Your Majesty, the current is rapid and cold, quickly come up."
"Don't talk nonsense, all of you come down!"
Yang Ling was really afraid that something would happen to him. He quickly jumped off his horse and rushed into the river. Holding onto Zhengde's arm, he put the pontoon bridge on his shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, your subject will hold up the bridge here, quickly go ashore."
"No, zhen is the Son of Ming Destiny. You won't allow zhen to personally go into battle, zhen will stay here and cheer for my Ming Destiny's soldiers!"
Xu Tai, Jiang Bin, and the other generals of the capital camp saw the Emperor enter the water and did not dare to tarry. All the generals ran down the river together and held up the pontoon bridge firmly. They shouted toward the shore, "Your Majesty is holding up the bridge for the three armies, why aren't you quickly crossing the river and bravely killing the enemy?"
The soldiers who had been shivering in the cold were greatly encouraged and all went down the river to hold up the bridge. In a flash, more than twenty pontoon bridges rose up on the surface of the river. The soldiers' eyes were red as they quickly crossed the river. Like wild beasts, they howled as they chased into the distance.
Their feet were stepping on the Emperor's shoulders. Don't look at how most of these soldiers could not read and were usually very ruffian, as if they didn't care about anything. But now that the Emperor was holding up the ladder for them and their feet were stepping on the Emperor's shoulders, the blood in these soldiers' chests surged. Even if they were f * cking chopped into meat paste, this life would be worth it.
After persevering for a while, when their limbs were gradually numb from the cold, Zhengde was finally pulled out of the water by Yang Ling. The little eunuchs who followed the army quickly invited the Emperor into the carriage to change clothes and heat up the heater. Zhengde was changing clothes when Yang Ling hurriedly walked over and lifted the curtain to burrow in.
He had also just changed clothes, his complexion was still ashen and pale, his lips were purplish red. Seeing the Emperor, he said, "Your Majesty, it is difficult to cross a heavy object with just a ladder. Subject has already gone up and down the river to look for fishing boats to build a pontoon bridge. Just now I found a local family. It is said that there is another bridge about ten li down the river. However, after crossing the bridge from there, we will have to go around a mountain ridge before we can return to the official road. Subject has already ordered a general to gather the cavalry of the various battalions and will go ahead from there. "
"Good! No matter what, zhen is going to show off our might, I will beat them until they are utterly defeated and won't even have the chance to breathe. "Zhengde was not in the mood to warm himself by the fire anymore. Lifting the curtain of the sedan chair, he stood on the shaft of the carriage and gazed at the whole army crossing the river.
The officers and men in the army were lined up in more than twenty columns and were methodically crossing the river. As soon as they saw the Son of Heaven appear under the dragon flag, the two groups of officers and men nearby were the first to shout, "Long live! Long live! Long live! "
Following that, the whole army cheered for the Son of Heaven. The sound was enough to topple mountains and overturn seas, momentarily magnificent.
"Your Majesty's army is truly an army of tigers and wolves. Your Majesty sets an example and treats the soldiers with kindness. The whole army is inspired by this. Not to mention that our army is superior to King Ning's rebel army, even if it is not, Your Majesty's army is now one against ten, unstoppable." Yang Ling sighed with emotion.
Hearing this, Zhengde became happy. He straightened his back, held the flag pole, and stood in front of the three armies with his head held high and his chest puffed out. With a smile on his face, he looked awe-inspiring. After a while, he quietly turned his head to look at Yang Ling and asked, "Beloved subject, do you feel it?"
"Eh? Feel what? "Yang Ling was baffled.
Zhengde was displeased and said, "Could it be that you don't feel a strong and tyrannical aura coming at you from all directions?"
Yang Ling was completely speechless …
The runny and sloppy Zhengde puffed out his chest again and raised his head. Facing the biting cold wind, he said in a narcissistic manner, "The pure and unyielding spirit of heaven and earth, the elegant and refined beauty of Zhong He, the talent of a generation, the aura of a thousand ages, the wisdom enough to understand the changes of the world, the courage enough to seize the position of commander of the three armies. There is the image of a towering Mount Tai, the charm of a soaring phoenix. Sparkling like the jade on the peak of a mountain, bright like the moon on the surface of the water. From my point of view, I think that he is truly an unprecedented Emperor. What do you think? "
When Yang Ling heard this, he immediately bowed to the Zhengde Emperor, whose face had turned purple from the cold and whose nose was full of snot. "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is indeed an Emperor that has never been seen before, never been seen before …"
