Chapter 554: Liberate combat effectiveness, but also maintain martial ethics!

"Your Majesty, let Wen Ji accompany you to Seoul!"

Zhu Heji seemed to have encountered a little trouble when he went out to battle. On November 1st, he had just dressed up and brought his beloved Da Boling with him, surrounded by Yan Yuan, Liu Yan, Yu Xiaoqian and other senior palace officials.

Next, when I just walked out of Yashan Palace, I was blocked by two little girls, Li Wenji and Zhang Yuzhen.

Moreover, they are not here to see off Zhu Heji, but to go to the front line of Seoul with Zhu Heji...

Zhu Heji glanced at the two girls. In addition to their mourning clothes, they had also put on military uniforms. At first glance, they were modeled after Da Bo Ling's sulfur blue narrow sleeves and purple armor -

-Now the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty have been changed to blue, because Zhu Heji has not yet been able to prepare a red synthetic dye that is durable and does not fade. He can only prepare three synthetic dyes: sulfur black, sulfur blue, and aniline violet.

So he chose sulfide blue, which symbolizes the sea and is relatively solemn, as the color of the military uniform.

As for the style of military uniforms, the narrow-sleeved drapes commonly worn by military attachés in the Ming Dynasty were chosen. The cavalry could also add a brightly colored hood, or not. The material of the military uniforms was mainly thickened cotton, and only senior officers could wear it.

Only military uniforms made of silk fabrics can be worn.

In addition, officers will wear iron, silver or gold five-pointed stars on the shoulders of their military uniforms to show their official rank.

Da Bo Ling holds the title of Lady of the State, similar to that of a Duke, and is also qualified to wear three gold five-stars symbolizing the Left Governor.

The two little girls, Li Wenji and Zhang Yuzhen, probably thought that Da Bo Ling's clothes looked dashing. So they asked their tailors to make a suit according to the pattern. Even the three gold stars were imitated. It was really dumbfounding to watch.

Zhu Heji is also wearing a blue narrow-sleeved trousers and a purple hood. At first glance, it looks similar to what Da Bo Ling is wearing, but if you take a closer look, you can still see the difference. Zhu Heji's clothes are relatively similar.

It's wide, and you can tell it's men's clothing at a glance. Dabo Ling's clothes are a bit tight, which can bring out that good figure.

Zhu Heji, who put on his military uniform and wore a long sword, a pistol, and a grenade hammer, looked a little more fierce. Zhang Yuzhen looked at him a little uneasily, as if to tell him that all this was the intention of the princess.

.

But Princess Ming'an was still looking at him with a smile as bright as a flower, with such an innocent look that her heart almost melted.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Da Bo Ling.

Da Bo Ling knew Zhu Heji's thoughts best and had always "favored" him, so she smiled and said, "It's just going to Seoul, not going to the battlefield."

Li Wenji nodded: "Yes, yes, I just want to go to Seoul."

Zhu Heji smiled and said: "Okay... Let's go together then! Come on, bring the horse over!"

His horse was a Lusitano Ocean horse, gray, tall and big, named "Big Gray". When he was brought over, Princess Ming'an, who had never seen any big horses, was shocked.

Zhu Heji looked at the little girl's frightened appearance and looked very happy. He smiled and asked, "Ming'an, can you ride a horse?"

"Yes, yes a little bit..."

Zhu Heji laughed a few more times: "It's not enough to know just a little bit... I'll teach you how to ride a horse!"

He pointed to his "big gray" and said: "We ride the same horse together, so I can teach you step by step!"

Riding a horse together? And holding hands... Li Wenji's face turned red when she thought of that posture, but she still nodded lightly: "Well, I'll do it, Your Majesty."

Zhu Heji laughed again and said to his left and right: "Send troops... to Seoul!"

The soldiers from the four towns who were preparing to march to Seoul had already formed a marching column on the official road leading to Chenghuanyi in the Yashan Valley.

Although the soldiers in these four towns are extremely moist, you can't tell it from their appearance... They all wear the same blue military uniforms and saucer-shaped helmets, and carry the same large linen backpack and small shovel.

They were all tied up with a palm-wide leather belt, and all of them were hung with grenades, bayonet holsters, bullet boxes, wine gourds and other miscellaneous things. They also had a dry food bag slung across their backs. They also had leggings on their calves, and they were wearing gaiters under their feet.

There is a pair of straw sandals under the old cloth shoes.

And because noncommissioned officers and veterans escorted the new recruits, and they could form a dense formation that was easy to control, the march looked very orderly.

Groups of Ming army infantry, together with the baggage trains, artillery teams, engineering teams and a small number of cavalry, passed through the Seoul-Asan official road in a mighty manner and rushed towards the front line at high speed.

...

Kaicheng, the residence of the Qing emperor.

Not long after Emperor Kangxi arrived in this shabby old Goryeo palace, he was worrying about who to find to sleep with him tonight. Tuhai, Bahai, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Wang Fuchen, Zhou Peigong, and Deng Guangming

, Yu Chenglong and others all came together.

After the ceremony, Tuhai reported with a smile: "Your Majesty, we have just received a secret report... Zhu Heji has personally led an army of 50,000 people to leave Asan and go straight to Seoul."

"Fifty thousand troops?" Emperor Kangxi was stunned, "That many?"

Zhou Peigong said: "Long live my Lord, the slaves and others have already spread their spies in Seoul and the Zhongqing Palace. The approximate number of the puppet Ming army can still be figured out. The reason why there are so many of them is because of the relationship between Zhu and Qing

Over time, many North Koreans were recruited into the army, numbering in the tens of thousands."

Kangxi laughed: "They are just a mob!"

"Your Majesty," Ba Hai said with a frown, "perhaps Zhu Heji transferred some of the troops lurking in Shandong to North Korea... According to the investigation, the Puppetry built a port in Chengshanjiao. From Chengshanjiao Daoyao

The mountains are no more than seven or eight hundred miles away from the sea, and it runs east-west, so travel is not greatly affected by the northern winter."

"It's possible." Wang Fuchen took up Ba Hai's topic and said, "It's November now, and many places in the Bohai Bay have frozen over. If the puppet Ming army doesn't land, I'm afraid there won't be any place to land.

"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mingzhu reminded: "Both Lushunkou and Chengshanjiao are not frozen."

Bahai shook his head, "Even if the port is not frozen, it will still be extremely cold ashore. And when the weather warms up and thaws, there will be floods in Liaodong, and the roads will be muddy, making it difficult to march. If Zhu Hesheng wants to visit Liao, he still has to go ashore in Meng Chun

The most suitable……"

The land of Liaodong is really difficult to fight. Not only do you have to fight against "monsters", but you also have to fight against the sky and the earth. Moreover, only the summer and autumn are the most suitable times of the year for fighting. The other seasons are either too cold or muddy.

In addition, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had also made preparations for a long time, and the clearing of the Liaodong Peninsula had been going on! Except for a few military camps, the peninsula was a vast wasteland!

Even if Zhu Heji's army ascends, it is impossible to suddenly reach the vicinity of Shengjing and Liaoyang.

Because of this, Kangxi was confident that he could spare time from the troops on the Liaodong Peninsula and first transfer them to Korea to fight.

Kangxi considered and said: "There may not be that many traitors in Dengzhou, maybe they have all come to North Korea... No matter what, I will send troops to attack Dengzhou!"

Give an order to Prince An and Prince Gong... Let them send troops as soon as possible to seize Dengzhou City for me!"

Kangxi paused and then said: "Also, give Wu Yingxiong another message... It's time for him to fulfill the unfulfilled wish of his grandmother Wu Sangui!"

"Your Majesty, what are you referring to..." Tu Hai was a little confused, because he felt that Wu Sangui's wish was to kill Kangxi!

"Proclaim yourself emperor!" Kangxi said. "Wu Sangui has been struggling for so many years. Isn't that just for this? Now Zhu Heji and I are at odds with each other. No one can care about him. Doesn't he want to live like an emperor?"

Kangxi actually wanted to persuade Wu Yingxiong to become emperor?

The ministers below all suspected that they had heard the objection, and no one dared to answer the call.

Kangxi smiled and said: "Should Xiong proclaim himself emperor, the two Wus will start fighting!"

"Your Majesty, this servant still doesn't understand." Tu Hai shook his head, "Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi have endured it for so long without starting a fight. Will they start fighting because Wu Yingxiong proclaims himself emperor?"

Kangxi smiled and said: "Of course! Wu Yingqi has been holding back because he still has illusions about Wu Sangui's group of veterans and wants to seize three-thirds of the Wu family's world without bloodshed. But Wu Yingxiong dares to proclaim himself emperor and succeeds, which means that he has obtained the Wu family's
