    The sixth day of June in the third year of Tianqi!

    Early morning!

    The sun has not yet risen from the horizon, and a group of 2,000 cavalrymen has already rushed out from the west camp of the Guards and galloped away in the direction of Shanhaiguan!

    This team of cavalry is extremely well-equipped. Each person is a man and two horses. They are wearing straight khaki mandarin duck war jackets, with sabers on their waists. In the leather bag on the side of the saddle, there is a short rifle!

    The biggest feature of this rifle is that it has a five-magazine wheel on the rear of the gun!

    The revolver-mounted rifle is a brand new breech-loading rifle created by the Royal Gwu Academy after extracting thunder mercury and making a flash cap according to Zhu Youxiao's instructions!

    The reason why this mounted rifle chooses the revolver type is mainly because the flash cap has a high failure rate and cannot guarantee repeated firings. Using the revolver type can not only solve this problem, but also effectively increase the rate of fire!

    At the same time, this revolver-type mounted rifle adopts the rifling design of the Mini rifle, uses paper shells for fixed ammunition, and can be loaded with five bullets at a time and can be fired continuously. This enhances shooting accuracy, distance and firepower!

    Taking the cavalry of 2,000 men as an example, when in a cone-shaped impact formation, they can start the first volley when they are a hundred steps away from the enemy's position, and they can also change their formation for the second volley in the middle. Each volley can fire at least one  Thousands of bullets!

    With such intensive firepower, I believe no army in the world today can survive such a firepower attack!

    And this is the firepower density of the cone impact formation. If the ranger harassment tactic is adopted, Zhu Youxiao believes that it is not a big problem to defeat an infantry array of 50,000 people with just two thousand people!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    All members of Longya are the best of the best, carefully selected from the military police, Guards, and border troops. The number of Longya is fixed at two thousand, and every thousand people form a brigade. The two captains are Qiao Wangjin and  Li Tiezhu!

    Zhu Youxiao originally planned to go on the expedition in person, but because he had to wait for Zhang Yan and Ning Xi to give birth to a child, it was delayed until June. Now that both women have given birth safely, Zhu Youxiao can go on the expedition with peace of mind!

    However, before Zhu Youxiao set out on the expedition, the Guards cavalry and infantry had already set off. They had already arrived at Shanhaiguan and were heading towards the Yalu River with the Liaodong frontier army. Zhu Youxiao took two thousand dragon teeth directly out of Shanhaiguan to meet the army.  And that¡¯s it!

    In Longya's team, Zhu Youxiao is also wearing an earthy yellow mandarin duck battle coat. The equipment on his body is no different from other soldiers. Even the emperor does not have a yellow umbrella when traveling. It can be said that no one can see this.  No one in the paper team would think that the emperor of the Ming Empire was among them!

    Two thousand cavalry galloped all the way and arrived at Shanhaiguan Pass the next afternoon. After Qiao Wangjin checked the seal with the general guarding the pass, he passed directly through the customs and headed for Shenyang!

    At this time, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Army He Shixian was in Shenyang. The reason why He Shixian was still in Shenyang was to wait for the arrival of Zhu Youxiao so that he could launch the final general offensive against Hou Jin!

    On the fourth day after leaving Beijing, Zhu Youxiao and his party finally arrived in Shenyang after traveling nearly a thousand miles!

    When He Shixian got the news, he took the military generals who were staying in Shenyang out of the city to meet him. However, what He Shixian and others saw was just a sturdy and weathered cavalry, but there was no emperor Zhu Youxiao's chariot!

    He Shixian looked at the cavalry stopped in front of him with confusion, and asked loudly: "Where is your majesty's luan?"

    Zhu Youxiao rode up to He Shixian and said with a smile, "I didn't bring a luan with me!"

    He Shixian looked at the dusty young man in front of him, but his eyes were determined, and he couldn't help but wonder, could this really be the current emperor?

    Seeing the hesitation of the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Qiao Wangjin immediately shouted: "Why don't you salute the commander-in-chief when you see him? Do you want to deceive the emperor?"

    Only then did He Shixian react, and he quickly drew his sword and saluted: "He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, is here to see your majesty!"

    Zhu Youxiao returned the courtesy and said, "Let's talk about it first in the city!"

    Then Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Long Ya is camping outside the city. Qiao Wangjin and Li Tiezhu will lead 200 people into the city with me!"

    Long Ya suddenly accepted the order, Qiao Wangjin and Li Tiezhu arranged their manpower, and then protected Zhu Youxiao into Shenyang City!

    At the Liaodong General Military Office, Zhu Youxiao simply washed up and then ordered: "Summon the officers above the general level in Liaodong Town in Shenyang for discussion!"

    Not long after, Liaodong Commander-in-Chief He Shixian led?Five officers met Zhu Youxiao again in the lobby of the General Military Yamen!

    At this time, Zhu Youxiao was still wearing the mandarin duck jacket, but the dust on his face had been washed away, revealing his true face of being young and handsome!

    After everyone saw the ceremony, Zhu Youxiao asked directly: "How is the war in Liaodong now?"

    He Shixian immediately said: "Your Majesty, since March, I have begun to order the army to harass Houjin. After dozens of battles, I finally forced the slave chief Nurhaci to give up Hetuala in May!"

    "According to the Jin Yiwei's secret report, Nurhachi split his troops into two groups after leaving Hetuala. He led the Eight Banners' main force of 30,000 people to North Korea. However, they are now blocked by General Mao's soldiers at the Yalu River!"

    "After the Guards arrived, our army fought several battles with the Hou Jin Army and suppressed them in Dandong. Now our army totals 160,000 people and has surrounded Nurhachi's main force. We are waiting for His Majesty's arrival.  We can defeat them all in one fell swoop!¡±

    "In addition, there are about 10,000 people who are protecting the families of the Houjin rebels and hiding in the mountains and forests. Because the mountains are high and the forests are dense, these people no longer know where they have gone. The Jinyiwei are doing their best to search. I believe there will be news soon!"

    After listening to the report from the Liaodong General Soldier, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "You did a good job. God helped me this time. That old guy Nurhachi made a fatal mistake. It seems that as long as our luck is not too bad, this battle will be won."  It can completely destroy Hou Jin!"

    He Shixian quickly accompanied him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's personal expedition this time will definitely be protected by God. In this battle, our Ming Dynasty will definitely reduce the northern border troubles!"

    Although this was just flattery, Zhu Youxiao still said with a smile: "Then I will take advantage of General Bing's auspicious words. Tomorrow I will set off to Liaodong Capital to command the envoys, and strive to defeat the main force of the Hou Jin Dynasty in one go. As for the one that escaped into the mountains and forests,  I will let people handle the Houjin soldiers and horses, so you don¡¯t have to worry about it!¡±

    He Shixian heard that Zhu Youxiao was going to the front line tomorrow and said quickly: "I would like to accompany your majesty to the battle!"

    Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "General He is getting old after all, so just stay in Shenyang and take care of things!"

    Seeing that he could not follow Zhu Youxiao on the expedition, He Shixian felt a little disappointed, but he still accepted the order and said: "I obey the order!"

    Zhu Youxiao knew that He Shixian was afraid of losing the opportunity to perform meritorious service, so he added: "After I defeat Hou Jin, I will lead the troops to Chahanhot. General He must prepare enough food and grass to ensure the material supply of the army.  The final victory or defeat of this battle is at stake, so I can only leave it to veterans like Mr. He. I hope Mr. He will not disappoint me!"

    He Shixian knew that this matter was also very important, and his contribution was no less than that of the front line. His heart suddenly became much brighter, and he immediately said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have prepared enough supplies, and I guarantee that I will never miss your Majesty's important event."  !¡±

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "That's great, let's stop here today!"

    He Shixian and others bowed and left, and Zhu Youxiao also returned to the backyard to rest!

    Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhu Youxiao left Shenyang with Longya in a hurry!

    Watching Zhu Youxiao and his entourage walk away, He Shixian said with emotion: "With Your Majesty as a holy master, what is the use of a mere queen?"

    A general in his fifties next to He Shixian suddenly whispered: "If Liaodong is defeated in this battle, I'm afraid we will lose everything!"

    He Shixian looked at the person who spoke with lightning eyes, and said every word: "This time I will pretend that I didn't hear anything, but if someone spreads such nonsense again, I don't need Dongchang to come and get him, I will do it myself  Send him on his way!"

    The generals had more or less such thoughts at first, but when they saw that the Commander-in-Chief had already said it to death, they could only suppress the dirty thoughts in their hearts and just accept it!

    Seeing this group of people acting like this, He Shixian didn¡¯t say much. He just snorted and turned back to Shenyang City!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
