"Your Highness, our troops are already outside the city, and it won't be long before we start fighting against the Houjin army that is besieging the city!"
Mrs. Wang came to the backyard and rushed in through the arch. Before she could reach Zhao Hongyu, she shouted at the top of her lungs.
He didn¡¯t care if there were some irrelevant people around Zhao Hongyu, so he yelled about it.
Normally, Master Wang would definitely be scolded or even punished by Zhao Hongyu for his behavior.
"However, Master Wang doesn't care about that much at the moment.
Even Zhao Hongyu forgot about this incident after listening to Master Wang's words.
Yes, although Zhao Hongyu is confident that with his help, the Ming Dynasty can defend the capital and prevent the Houjin Eight Banners from attacking the city from outside to break through this ancient city.
But, after all, the Hou Jin army was besieging the city outside the city, and everyone in the city was panicked. At the same time, the Ming army's eroded fighting power made Zhao Hongyu occasionally feel uneasy.
"It's a pity that Zhao Hongyu doesn't have that many soldiers and horses on hand, so he can only take one step at a time."
Although Zhao Hongyu can use the heaven-defying cheating device to increase his troops.
But if he is now in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and brings so many soldiers and horses out of thin air, what do you think the people in the capital will think? What do you think of Zhu Shangwu?
So, under such circumstances, Zhao Hongyu had no choice but not to use his heaven-defying cheating gadget.
¡°In fact, Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t want to have a strong army by his side.
¡° As long as there is a strong army, he doesn¡¯t have to worry about anything, right?
With only tens of thousands of Houjin Eight Banners, you only need 20,000 to 30,000 troops to defeat the opponent.
As long as the siege of the Ming Dynasty capital is resolved, he can go to Liaodong and take over the city and territory that Zhu Shangwu pledged to him.
As for helping Ming Dynasty fight against Hou Jin, Zhao Hongyu had not considered it at all.
You must know that although everyone is of Yanhuang blood, Zhao Hongyu will not act like an idiot to help or even take the trouble on himself without benefit.
??Besides, how much benefit can the empire gain by helping Ming to fight against Hou Jin?
In this world, if you help without benefit, not only will people not thank you, but they will also be wary of you.
Of course, it is not impossible to help to a limited extent.
¡°After all, what flows in everyone¡¯s body is Yanhuang bloodline.
¡°This is what Zhao Hongyu is doing now.
It is not impossible for Daming to give money and provide some help "within his ability".
Although the money is owed on credit, isn¡¯t it mortgaged now?
A large piece of land in Liaodong near Houjin and a large city have been taken out by Zhu Shangwu.
This is a good sign.
Although Zhao Hongyu saw through Zhu Shangwu¡¯s plan.
"But Zhao Hongyu didn't intend to expose it, but wanted to accept it completely.
Isn¡¯t it just that I want to put myself in the front and confront Hou Jin?
This is not a big deal.
With the heaven-defying cheating device in hand, as long as an army of 30,000 to 40,000 is placed in the territory where the seat is mortgaged, it will be enough to ensure that it will not be invaded by the Houjin.
Of course, before that, you must show your strength and make the Houjin people suffer enough to make them clearly realize that they are not easy to mess with.
¡° Moreover, as long as he established a foothold in this territory, Zhao Hongyu had already thought of a way to reap the benefits.
hey-hey!
¡°Buying some ¡®good things¡¯ to Daming and Houjin, I think neither Daming nor Houjin would refuse.
¡°Here in the East, it would not be good to let the Ming family dominate.
Zhao Hongyu needs to consider the interests of the empire.
If the Ming Dynasty stabilizes, it will definitely expand externally.
Once something like this happens, will Ming be hostile to the empire in the future?
It¡¯s impossible to say for sure.
Therefore, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, Zhao Hongyu must consider it in advance and make some arrangements.
It¡¯s not good for the Yanhuang people to fight against the Yanhuang people.
However, if you want to do this, you must first solve the crisis of the siege of the city by the Jin army.
Although Zhu Shangwu borrowed it from himself,Five million taels of silver and one million shi of food can ostensibly solve military pay and many other problems.
But in fact, this is not the case.
Five hundred taels of silver entered the household department, but in a short period of time, more than half of it was divided up by some invisible black hands.
Nowadays, only a small number of them are actually used in the right way.
This is something Zhu Shangwu never expected.
Because no one could have imagined that at such a time, those people would still have such thoughts.
Fortunately, these people also know that they cannot do too much at this time, so they still have some money left. This allowed the imperial court to summon an army of fifty thousand refugees at this critical moment.
However, these 50,000 troops were recruited from refugees who had taken refuge in the city, so one can imagine their combat effectiveness.
That is absolutely impossible to go into battle.
Even if you pull him out by force, you will die if you fight against the Hou Jin Army.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu provided officers and began to conduct short-term crash training for them.
Furthermore, Zhu Shangwu also took out the Jin Yiwei, one of the emperor's personal soldiers, to form an army.
This army also asked Zhao Hongyu to send officers for training.
Because he took a fancy to the power of the imperial firearms, Zhu Shangwu planned to let the 50,000 newly formed troops in the city and the Jin Yiwei army learn what kind of firecrackers to use in this tactic.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu sold another batch of muskets to Zhu Shangwu.
However, it is unlikely that these two armies will be formed and ready to go to the battlefield in a short time.
But the Hou Jin army is still outside the city, what can we do?
Zhao Hongyu has a headache about this matter every day at home.
He didn¡¯t know how long Hou Jin¡¯s army would surround him before retreating.
Judging from some news circulating in the DPRK, it is impossible for the Hou Jin army to retreat in a short time.
And the Ming troops in various places around them didn't look like they were going to send troops to rescue the siege.
Every time he thinks of this, Zhao Hongyu can't help but want to cultivate genetic people and form an army to kill them.
Fortunately, he held back.
"Otherwise, God knows what trouble it will cause.
After all, if a large army appeared in the city out of thin air, it would really be hard for him to explain.
Now, an imperial army appeared outside the city, and was about to fight the Houjin army besieging the city.
This is the best news Zhao Hongyu has heard in a while.
Zhao Hongyu is confident that this army will be able to defeat the Hou Jin army outside the city and resolve the crisis of siege.
As soon as the crisis in the capital is resolved, he can leave the capital and go to Liaodong.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Zhao Hongyu happily looked at Mrs. Wang who ran to him, still panting.
"Oh, this is really good news."
Mrs. Wang nodded excitedly.
"Yes, Your Highness. As long as we defeat the Hou Jin army outside the city, we can leave the capital. We have been besieged for some time. During this time, I have been on tenterhooks."
Speaking of this, Master Wang smiled sheepishly.
¡°It¡¯s human nature to be scared sometimes, and that¡¯s okay.¡±
Looking at Mrs. Wang, Zhao Hongyu thought carefully and understood why Mrs. Wang was embarrassed.
However, Zhao Hongyu really understands.
People, how can they not be afraid at this time?
After all, if the Hou Jin army breaks through the capital city defenses, then none of them can guarantee that there will be no damage.
When the Jin army breaks through the capital, they will definitely loot and kill.
Under such circumstances, who can guarantee that they will not be affected.
Therefore, Master Wang has been worried about this matter.
Although Master Wang knows that the Imperial Army is very strong, Zhao Hongyu currently has too few manpower around him. Master Wang couldn't help but feel worried about this.
¡°Besides, Mrs. Wang didn¡¯t know that if the situation really got bad, Zhao Hongyu could create a strong army to protect him.
Therefore, it is very normal for him to be afraid.
Even Zhao Hongyu himself would worry occasionally, let alone Mrs. Wang.
"By the way, how did you know?"
"Furiously, Zhao Hongyu asked.
Yes, Mr. WangLike himself, Zizi has always stayed in the capital city.
How did Mr. Wang know the situation outside?
This made Zhao Hongyu feel very confused.
"Your Highness, the imperial army outside the city sent a few people to sneak into the city and find us, so I know it."
Seeing Zhao Hongyu ask about this, Master Wang quickly explained.
"Someone has entered the city? Where are they? Now there is a large army of Hou Jin outside besieging the city, and the defenders in the city are also on tight guard. How did they get in?"
"Your Highness, as the capital is so big, there are always some things that cannot be taken care of." Master Wang said with a smile. "As for our people, they are outside the hospital now."
At the moment, Zhao Hongyu didn't care to ask any other questions. He quickly dismissed the little maid who was serving him, and then asked Mrs. Wang to bring the people in.
"Quick, let them in."
Immediately, Master Wang turned around and trotted out of the yard. After a while, several young people wearing Ming people's clothes came in, but their appearance was not the same as Ming people's.
Needless to say, these young men are the Imperial Army soldiers sent by Jay Chou to infiltrate the capital.
"Xiao Yong, leader of the reconnaissance platoon of the eighth company of the third battalion of the second regiment of the 12th division of the fifth army, has met His Highness."
Zhao Hongyu sat up straight at this time, looked at the several soldiers standing there and nodded.
"How did you get in? Where is the imperial army now? How many troops are there?"
"There is a sewage canal in the south of the city. That's where we came in"¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"Sir, you see the Houjin army outside the city is moving strangely. What are they doing?"
At this time, Sun Chuanting got the news from his subordinates and came to the top of the city with a group of generals, looking at the Houjin camp outside.
In the Houjin camp, people and horses were moving back and forth, which was very different from usual.
Furthermore, news came that the Hou Jin troops in other places seemed to have withdrawn and no longer besieged key points in the capital.
Therefore, not only Sun Chuanting was puzzled by the dynamics of the Later Jin Army, but also the other defending generals were puzzled.
How did they know that a group of soldiers and horses had appeared on the east side of the Hou Jin Army, and the Hou Jin Army concentrated its forces to face this army.
There is something a bit strange about this matter. Sun Chuanting looked at the Houjin military camp outside the city, and this thought flashed through his mind¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"You guys take a rest first. I will go into the palace to see Zhu Shangwu immediately. This is an opportunity. If the Ming army also takes this opportunity to fight, I can guarantee that this Hou Jin army will be completely annihilated here."
At this time, Zhao Hongyu stood up and walked a few steps on the spot, then raised his head and said seriously to Mrs. Wang and the soldiers who had sneaked into the city. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
