During the military parade before the New Year, Li Zicheng looked at the parade majestic troops, lined up in an orderly phalanx, proudly praised the people in front of many people, in front of civil and military officials, and in front of the emperor. As a member of the soldiers, he was naturally extremely envious.

But at this moment, he no longer envys others. He has absolute confidence and waits for others to envy himself in the future!

His subordinates were also extremely excited. Like Li Zicheng, they knelt on their fists and shouted in unison: "I will never regret it if I die for Your Majesty!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them, smiled and stretched out his hands, and Xu Fu signaled: "All soldiers should be flat!"

When Li Zicheng and the others stood up and stood there solemnly again, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at the big square on the right, his face became serious, and he asked seriously: "Your seniors are about to graduate and go to the battlefield for my Ming Dynasty, defend our country, and expand our territory! You salute the seniors and wish them blessings!"

Hearing this request, the soldiers on both sides of the square formation were stunned, but they immediately reacted. Immediately, the freshmen turned around and looked to Li Zicheng and the others, without rude to the emperor, raised their hands to salute with a solemn expression.

When Li Zicheng and others saw him, no one gave him any instructions. They also looked sideways towards the new generation square formation and raised their hands to salute and responded.

The cold wind whistled in the square, but everyone's heart was hot at this time. No matter the new students, everyone's blood was boiling and their mood was stimulating. At this time, they absolutely did not expect that their process would become a standard ceremony for each class of soldiers to graduate and each class of freshmen to enter the Ming Dynasty's advanced martial arts hall.

Graduates join various troops to serve the country, and the freshmen wish their predecessors the rest of their lives and make contributions.

After the ceremony, he said goodbye to the emperor, stepped on the war horse that had been prepared, left the camp gate, and faced the cold wind.

Emperor Chongzhen watched them disappear at the gate of the camp, and his emotions that were also excited slowly calmed down, but he was still very happy. This Li Zicheng would be very different from his original fate. I hope he could occupy Siberia for the Ming Dynasty, and would also leave his name to future generations and would be countless times better than his original history.

When he returned to the palace, Emperor Chongzhen took a break and entered the chat group and found that there was news from Yunnan that King Dongwu Talong had all his troops and headed north to fight to the decisive battle with the imperial army.

"Haha, from the previous signs, King Long felt that he had instigated the two chieftain troops to rebel, so he thought he could win this decisive battle?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile in his heart, "Since that's the case, I should also let Wen Tiren prepare. It's time to announce the overseas feudal affairs of the vassal kings!"

Since Zhu Xieyuan's reminder, Min Hongxue has secretly strengthened the monitoring of various chieftains. In addition, some of the factory guards have also arrived in Yunnan and are also watching secretly. After this pair-pronged approach, the news was summarized in the chat group and analyzed by Min Hongxue, and indeed the problem was found.

As for King Tang, although he was in the chat group, he did not let him know about this according to Min Hongxue's suggestion. After all, King Tang was young and had never experienced major events. He was afraid that he would not be able to calm down and show something, and would be afraid that he would be afraid of the snake. Min Hongxue wanted to take this opportunity to let King Long take the bait and deal with Dongwu's main force in one fell swoop, and then he could raise his troops south and capture the entire Dongwu territory.

In the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen clicked Wen Tiren's icon and told him about this matter, asking him to prepare. At the end, he reminded again: "I am paying attention to the Dongwu war. After the decisive battle is obvious and after ensuring victory, the world can be announced and the auction of the fields belonging to the King of Tang is held."

Since Emperor Chongzhen threw away trivial matters, the cabinet, including the chief minister Wen Tiren, was almost busy. After all, there were so many things happening in such a large territory in the Ming Dynasty. It was summed up to the cabinet that they asked them to give advice on handling, which was a very large workload. Relatively speaking, the Silijian only judged whether the cabinet gave a reasonable opinion on handling, but the workload was much smaller.

Therefore, Wen Tiren did not know much about Dongwu's progress. At this time, he heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, and was overjoyed. If the feudal matter of the King of Tang Dynasty could be accomplished, then the land belonging to the King of Tang could be collected after the auction, and the land tax would be less than the entire treasury income. But if all the land of the vassal kings in the world could be collected in the future, then the income would be higher!

Another great benefit is that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the number of royal families has reached an unbearable level. So much so that since the Jiajing Dynasty, they have made things difficult for the new royal families, and even refused to admit it for a long time to avoid the increasingly heavier burden on the royal families. If we go further, we don’t know how many royal families will be, and the empire is really unbearable.

But if all the vassal kings were feudal overseas, then these royal families, like the vassal kings, would naturally have to go overseas. And their salary would naturally be borne by the vassal kings who had become their own country. This would put a very heavy package for the Ming Empire! This situation would be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and the royal family, and it would be a win-win situation!

Wen Tiren thought of the benefits of feudal kings overseas, and he couldn't help but be very concerned about the war on Dongwu. After all, as the first example of the feudal kings of Tang, whether it could be successful would affect the subsequent feudal kings' feudal overseas national policy. Therefore, he was very worried and replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, why not, what should I announce after the army occupied the entire territory of Dongwu?"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen understood his concerns and immediately said to him: "Our army has grasped the situation in this battle, but King Long knew nothing about it and thought he could cooperate with the inside and outside. In addition, the Baigang Army has also arrived in Yunnan secretly and is resting. When the war is almost over, it suddenly appears. I believe King Long is crying. Wen Qing just prepares and wait for me to return to give you good news!"

"Old minister follows the order!" Wen Tiren felt a lot of thought in his mind when he saw this message, and followed the order.

One of the protagonists in their conversation, King Togo Taro is leading the army north at this time.

The route he chose was to go upstream along the Dajinsha River. In this way, his navy was able to transport food, grass and supplies, save a lot of effort, and consume less on the road. The dense ships on the river surface almost blocked the river surface. Among them, not only warships, but other ships were also included. It was King Talong who ordered all the ships that could be collected for transporting the army's needs. In addition, there were countless civilians who used them to pull fibers along the way.

On the river, sailboats cover the sky and the sun, and on the river, there are endless troops. Among them, the most common infantrymen were dressed in simple clothes. If they didn't know, they thought it was the civilians who picked up weapons. Of course, there were also elite infantrymen, just near the central army, including cloth armor, cotton armor, and iron armor. Some of them carried a round shield on their backs and a waist knife on their waists, which were sword shield soldiers; some were walking empty-handed, and their weapons were long shields. It was impossible to carry them on their own marches, and they could not be equipped if they were on the ship. Therefore, they carried long shields in chariots, and some were archers carrying stewards and hung several pots of arrows. This was the archer;

Among all the troops, the most eye-catching are the cavalry and the elephant army. Especially the elephant army, which are tall and large, and those cavalry walk in front and back. In comparison, it is really not enough to compare. Now it is only in a marching state, so the elephant is not wearing vines. When a vine armor is hung during the war, the damage to the elephant can be ignored. On the battlefield, the elephant rushed around, who can block its edge? It can be said that this elephant army is the trump card in the hands of King Talong.

King Talong himself did not take a boat, but rode on an elephant. The elephant was white all over, and it was a strong adult elephant. There was a special saddle on the elephant's back, which could sit on three people, or even more. This saddle was different from other saddles, and it had a lid on it, which could block the sunlight.

King Long sat there, looking at the army on the riverside, and his heart was full of passion. Suddenly, he pointed his hand at the moving army and asked the important officials around him: "There is an idiom in Ming Dynasty: "There is a whip and cut off the flow. Can the lonely army do it, right?"

"That's nature. Your Highness's army is far superior to the Ming army. In this battle, I, Dongwu, will win!"

When King Long heard this, he looked at him and felt very comfortable. He had reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the two chieftains, and he did not say anything. After all, this fact is too important, so it is better to keep it confidential! Because the reply from the important officials around him made him feel very good, who had the trump card!

At this time, several knights rushed forward, who were his confidant generals and his pioneer generals. This made him frown a little. If he didn't sit in front, what was he doing when he ran to the Central Army?

Donggo's war horse was far from being compared with the horses in the north of the Ming Dynasty. It looked much smaller. King Long had to lower his head and look at his confidant vanguard running to his eyes. Seeing his sweat on his head, he knew that he was anxious and asked with a frown, "What's wrong, but is there something wrong ahead?"

If something happens in front of you, the main general should stay there, rather than running to the central army in person.

His vanguard army rolled off the saddle and knelt down on one knee to report, but what made him a little embarrassed was that King Long did not stop the elephant and was walking forward. So he had to stand up again, rush over and report, "Your Highness, our vanguard scout has discovered that the Ming army has not been stopped at night, and has fought many times. Now, the news of our army's attack is probably known by the Ming army."

"That's all?" King Long couldn't help but say a little unhappy when he heard this, "You shouldn't have come to the Central Army!"

The reason why the elephant was not stopping just now was actually expressing his dissatisfaction.

The vanguard general naturally received this signal, but he insisted on expressing his thoughts, and heard him speak loudly: "Your Highness, soldiers are the most important. Our army should attack quickly and try to capture Mengmi before the Ming army gathers! According to the current marching speed, by the time we arrive at Mengmi, the Ming army in Mubang, Mengyang and other places, and even the Ming army in other places have arrived in Mengmi to reinforce. By then, it will be too difficult for our army to capture Mengmi!"

The direction of their army was to Mengmi, the city closest to Awa, which was captured by the Ming army.

King Long listened to his loud report and looked anxious, and his eyebrows were relaxed. Not only did he not know about this matter of internal response, but even his confidant generals did not know about it. Not only for the sake of confidentiality, but also for the purpose of using this ace to win the Ming army, he could increase his prestige more effectively. King Long Long was just the younger brother of the previous king, and he was able to reach this point today because he was good at manipulating people's hearts.

I have to say that King Talong is indeed a cunning person. If it were Togo, he was a wise monarch. The word "King Talong" means "a king who died in the prosperity of the country". From this we can see that he does have his ability.

At this time, after hearing the advice of his general, he smiled slightly, showed a confident expression, and replied faintly: "You don't have to worry about this. I just want to give the Ming army this opportunity to gather the army from all over the country in Mengmi and then annihilate it in one fell swoop!"

Speaking of this, he looked down at the eyes of the general below, and showed a little majesty and said, "Do you have no confidence in the orphanage plan, or do you feel that you do not have the ability and are afraid of Mingjun?"

When he heard this, his vanguard general was excited and immediately knelt on one knee to express his loyalty: "Why would the general be afraid of those Ming dogs, the general... the general... the general... the death battle..."

The elephant still didn't stop. When he knelt down, he could only see the elephant's butt and the little tail on his butt swaying. So he stood up, followed quickly, and once again expressed his loyalty and ability, then he turned over and rushed forward.

Since Your Highness has such ambition, how could he show weakness as Your Highness's confidant vanguard general? At worst, he has already repaid his kindness for Your Highness to die on the battlefield. The vanguard general was riding a horse and thinking in his heart, but he immediately woke up again. He thought so, as if he was afraid of the Ming army. It was really not right to think about his king. Think about his king, he had never been defeated and defeated and hung up in the north since the past. Even the Western Yi had such sharp firearms, but he was still defeated and hung by the king. What's wrong with the Ming army? Even if he gathered a large army, he must believe in his king, and he will definitely win the Ming army this time!

Thinking of this, his confidence became more strong. After arriving in the vanguard army, he passed the general order, resolutely implemented King Long's will, and controlled the vanguard army to slowly approach Meng Mi, giving the Ming army a chance to assemble.

The Ming army kept reporting the news of Dongwu's army to Meng Mi at night. As King Talong expected, Ming troops from all over the country also rushed to Meng Mi. A decisive battle between the Ming and Dongwu was gradually taken. Of course, the so-called main force of the Ming Dynasty was actually just an army in Yunnan, and Dongwu was a real army of the whole country.
