Valley Emperor

Emperor Zhengde closed his eyes in despair, while Li Xuan, who was on the opposite side, showed a smile!

The Guards did not waste his hard work. At this critical moment, they finally played their role as the mainstay, successfully blocked the attack of the Tartar cavalry, and even caused heavy damage to the Tartar cavalry, thus Force the Tartar cavalry to retreat!

"it is good!"

This time, Li Xuan did not suppress his joy, but directly shouted ok, with a full smile on his face, then looked around, and said loudly: "The Tartars have already fled, and now, only the pseudo-ming bandit army is left. Resist stubbornly, and order the entire army to continue to fight bravely to completely defeat the puppet thieves!"

Having said that, he paused for a while and then continued: "All soldiers and soldiers participating in the war today will be paid double, and those who have made meritorious deeds will double their merits!"

At this last moment, Li Xuan did not stingy with his reward. For ordinary soldiers, getting real money and silver is the best reward, and for officers, double credit is the best reward!

Nothing can inspire the morale of the soldiers more than being promoted and rich, especially when victory is in sight. The soldiers know very well that as long as they work harder, victory will be at hand!

Li Xuan's words, along with the semaphore and the messengers, spread to every corner of the battlefield!

When the ordinary soldiers heard that they could get double pay, their morale immediately increased. The situation in front of them, even the ordinary soldiers, was already rough. Victory was in sight. Now is the time to beat the underdog. , and it became more courageous to fight immediately.

And the officers, one by one, were stimulated by the double credit!

Today's Datang Army, although it is still expanding and has a lot of room for promotion, but today's Datang Army has gradually stabilized, and the promotion system is very stable. Even the early Yuxuetang students are now only It can be achieved step by step through military exploits and qualifications, although promotion is still fast, but it is no longer the same as in previous years.

What's more, today's battle can be said to be the last large-scale battle in the Northern Expedition. Today, I missed the opportunity to make meritorious service, even if there are other combat opportunities in the follow-up, but if I miss it, I miss it.

Whether we can go a step further in the future and whether we can be knighted in the future depends on today's!

Therefore, now, whether it is officers or soldiers, all of them are extremely excited!

Under the leadership of the officers, the soldiers burst out with more powerful combat power than before. The Tang army launched a tide-like attack on the central army of the Ming army!

Countless soldiers carried muskets and spears, and continued to advance with firm steps, further compressing the defensive space of the Ming army!

With the continuous pressure of a large number of infantry, they have never made any shots. They are used as a reserve team. They are ready to flee with Li Xuan at critical times. The more than 1,000 cavalry troops formed by the Army's independent cavalry battalion directly under the Privy Council also launched the charge.

The target of their charge was the artillery position at the side and rear of the Ming army. This Ming army artillery position brought a lot of casualties to the continuously advancing Tang army. Now, taking advantage of the great defeat of the Ming army's central infantry, this A thousand cavalry finally shot!

The cavalry roared away!

Even though the number is not large, the target is small due to the small number of people, and the action is decisive and resolute. Of course, the more important thing is that the infantry of the Ming army are already too busy to take care of themselves, and they are completely suppressed by the infantry of the Tang army. Support artillery positions.

As a result, on the battlefield, thousands of cavalry can be seen crossing hundreds of meters in one fell swoop, then rushed to the artillery position of the Ming Army, and directly used the most powerful cavalry charge to shred the last line of infantry in the artillery position of the Ming Army. The defense line, and then rushed into the artillery position.

The cavalry's sabers swung at the artillerymen of the Ming Army, and wherever they passed, flesh and blood flew!

The Chinese artillery positions of the Ming army are also finished, and they can no longer support the infantry of the Chinese army!

At this time, Emperor Zhengde looked up again and looked forward. Even if the artillery position was finished, even if the defense line was continuously compressed and the casualties were heavy, the soldiers of the Chinese army were still struggling to resist the advance of the Tang army.

However, Rao is the soldiers of the Chinese army who fought bravely, but they still could not stop the continuous advancement of the Tang army!

Continue like this, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe two quarters of an hour, maybe the next second, the Chinese army will completely collapse!

They did their best!

Zhengde is very clear that in today's battle, his soldiers have done their best, and they have fully exerted the combat effectiveness that Zhengde himself expected. In the face of the fierce attack of the Tang army, although they were defeated, they have always been supportive. on.

They really tried their best!

"The defeat in this battle is not the fault of the soldiers, it is the fault of me, the fault of yours!" Emperor Zhengde took his eyes back from the front, then turned to look at the large group of civil servants and nobles behind him!

A vote of civil servants and nobles naturally immediately shouted that the crimes deserved death, His Majesty calmed down and other nonsense.

The distinguished civil servants and nobles present, even those who do not understand the military, can already see that the situation today is very bad, and the army is about to end!

Their Ming army was not the opponent of the Tang army at all, and they had hoped that the Tartars would kill them, but now the Tartars were all beaten by the Tang army and then retreated. How can they be the only ones left to fight?

Can't fight!

The collapse of the entire army is already imminent

The faces of many nobles are extremely pale, the army is finished, the Ming Dynasty is also finished, and they are also finished!

Their titles, their glory and wealth, all came from the Ming Dynasty. It is the so-called break with the country, but the premise is that there must be a country. As soon as he turned around, he ran into the Tang Dynasty and continued to be an aristocrat?

Even if Li Xuan is willing, the many civil and military ministers in the Tang Dynasty are not willing, what are they for life and death, isn't it just to be a hero of the founding of the country, to gain glory and wealth!

It is impossible for the nobles of the Ming Dynasty to surrender and run over to continue to be nobles!

And the Ming Dynasty is over, are they still honorable?

no!

Compared to the panicked expressions of a group of nobles, although most of the civil servants did not look good, their expressions were much better than those of the nobles, and some even showed a thoughtful look.

The Ming army is defeated in this battle, and the Ming Dynasty is about to end, but will they accompany the Ming Dynasty to sink together?

This question is debatable!

It is undeniable that some people will sit firmly on the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty, and then sink together, but it is also undeniable that more people will pick up the boat in time, then swim to and climb another big ship, put The big ship sunk by the big ship of the Ming Dynasty: the Tang Dynasty!

Emperor Zhengde looked at everyone, and took the performance of the dozens of civil servants and nobles behind him into his eyes. Although his expressions were dull, his heart was extremely furious!

If it weren't for these thieves who wronged the country in front of him, he was righteous, how could his Zhu family dynasty have fallen to this point?

Officials are corrupt, he knows, and they have been attacking them all the time, but they are colluding with each other. Even if the emperor of Zhengde is tough, he cannot change much. If he really wants to kill them all, his throne will be unstable.

So many times, he can only turn a blind eye, but what he didn't expect is that they are corrupt, they don't pay taxes, they even dare to deduct the military expenses of the counterfeit Tang, and the deduction is still Not a little bit, but half and half!

In recent years, Emperor Zhengde has taken out a total of more than 10 million taels of silver from the treasury and the internal treasury to pacify the thieves, but in the end, only less than half of them fell on the army.

Moreover, in the past two years, Emperor Zhengde has aggressively set up thieves' salaries. However, the officials of Dongchang and Jinyiwei have reported that the officials below vehemently opposed thieves' salaries on the surface, but on the other hand, they were using thieves' salaries to make money, forcing them to make money. Countless people were destroyed, and then these ministers put all the blame on him, the emperor!

These, Emperor Zhengde sees it all!

He knows, he knows it!

But in the past, for the sake of the overall situation, he endured it!

As an emperor, as long as his rule can be maintained, then he doesn't care about these, thinking that after pacifying the Tang bandits first, he will turn around and slowly clean up these insatiable civil servants and nobles.

But now, the pseudo-Tang Li thief can no longer be destroyed, and even his Ming Dynasty is about to end.

The ship of the Ming Dynasty is about to sink, and how many of these people are thinking of jumping off the ship and running to the opposite pseudo-Tang Dynasty?

Emperor Zhengde doesn't know how many there will be, but he can be sure that there will be no less!

And he, Zhengde, would not allow this to happen!

Since you have killed Ming Dynasty, and you have harmed me as the king of the subjugated country, then don't expect to be able to live alone, and let me be buried with me together!

So Emperor Zhengde, now he no longer looks at the war ahead, but looks at the civil servants and nobles in front of him, then takes a deep breath and says, "Where are the guards!"

As soon as Emperor Zhengde's words fell, a large group of guards walked in. These guards were carefully selected by Emperor Zhengde. As an emperor on horseback, even if he is now exhausted, there are still many confidants who are willing to serve him. The guards in front of you are one of them!

Hundreds of guards surrounded the crowd!

Without waiting for everyone to ask or reflect, Emperor Zhengde said, "Give the wine!"

As soon as they heard the word "giving wine", the lowly group of civil and military ministers immediately became agitated. They were not fools. They all knew what was hidden behind the word "giving wine".

In the early years of the Battle of Hengyang, Cheng Hongan, the former commander of the army, gave poison to kill most of the generals under his command and the civil servants who escaped from the city of Hengyang when he was defeated. In the end, he also committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine!

Not many people know about this~www.wuxiaspot.com~, and ordinary people outside don't know the inside story at all, but most of the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty in front of them know about it.

Immediately, someone knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying something like His Majesty's life!

There were also people who didn't do anything, just sighed!

And some people shouted in an instant!

There was even a self-proclaimed civil servant who stood up and scolded: "Duanjun, if it wasn't for you, the faint-hearted monarch, who has been in the court for decades and brought harm to the world, how could I, Daming, have ended up like this today!"

At this time, someone said: "I knew that after you fell into the water, I should have directly attacked. It's a pity, the difference of one thought has led to today's bitter fruit!"
