Chapter 19: Taking over the cavalry camp! The imperial court in Ying Ying Tianfu!

Beheading a hundred enemies in one battle, beheading the enemy general, and capturing the enemy's battle flag!

Such a battle result was not something anyone could achieve, at least not since the start of the war, and even throughout the many great battles the Great Ming had launched against foreign powers, no one had been able to do it.

With such a fierce general, how could Zhang Wu and the others not be respectful?

"You two are too kind."

Zhu Ying smiled and returned the salute.

Zhang Wu.

Fan Qing.

The latter was not very famous, but the former would have a great reputation in the future Great Ming, because he was a meritorious official after Zhu Di's Campaign of Jingnan, and was even posthumously enfeoffed as a Duke.

This showed his martial prowess and ability to command troops.

But now, Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, and the Campaign of Jingnan was still many years away, so Zhang Wu was naturally still serving as a Vice Battalion Commander in this Danning Fucheng.

And he was even under Zhu Ying's command.

For Zhu Ying, seeing such historical famous generals under his command, he was also full of anticipation for the future; the future was promising.

Knowing history.

Knowing the future.

Power!

It was not difficult.

"After this battle, the First Cavalry Camp has also suffered many losses. If you want to replenish the troops, you will have to wait until the end of the great battle."

"The two Vice Battalion Commanders will introduce you to the specific situation of the cavalry camp."

"You have just taken the position of Battalion Commander, so I will give you three days to familiarize yourself. Three days later, we will immediately move out and continue to attack the Jianzhou Tatars," Chen Heng said to Zhu Ying.

"Subordinate acknowledges the order."

Zhu Ying bowed immediately to acknowledge the order.

"If there is anything, come directly to me."

Chen Heng nodded with a smile and left the place with his personal guards.

After he left.

"Two brothers, how many soldiers does the First Cavalry Camp have now?" Zhu Ying asked directly.

"Reporting to the Battalion Commander."

"There are still 689 men."

"In this battle against the Tatars, our First Cavalry Battalion served as the vanguard and main attack force, so the casualties were somewhat heavy," Zhang Wu replied immediately.

"En."

Zhu Ying nodded, his expression also slightly solemn.

Although it was just a number reported by Zhang Wu.

Zhu Ying had also experienced yesterday's great battle; death had shrouded the entire battlefield, and Zhu Ying had seen with his own eyes the death of his comrades, which was extremely bloody and cruel.

However.

This was inevitable.

War was just like this.

In the end.

Zhu Ying was fortunate to have adapted to killing enemies while wiping out bandits, otherwise, he would never have been so fierce on the battlefield yesterday.

"Reporting to the Battalion Commander."

"The brothers of the First Cavalry Camp are all waiting for the Battalion Commander's instructions," Fan Qing said respectfully.

"Good."

Zhu Ying looked to the other side, at all the gathered soldiers of the Battalion, and nodded immediately.

Then he walked over with large strides.

"Greetings, Battalion Commander."

When Zhu Ying arrived in front of the formation, all seven hundred soldiers of the First Battalion bowed, their voices deafening.

The might of the Great Ming soldiers was fully displayed.

The Great Ming soldiers of this era were undoubtedly elite, not to mention that they were border troops.

Feeling the might in this sound.

Zhu Ying nodded and said immediately: "Everyone, rise."

"Thank you, Battalion Commander."

All the soldiers said in unison, each looking at Zhu Ying with curiosity and awe.

"Fellow soldiers."

"Some of you do not know me, and some of you should have heard my name."

"But it doesn't matter."

"From today on."

"I, Zhu Ying, will be a comrade-in-arms fighting side by side with all of you."

"On the battlefield, courage comes first."

"I, Zhu Ying, promise all of you here that Zhu Ying will always charge in front of all my brothers."

"If the general does not fear death, the soldiers will not fear death; this is an army that wins every battle."

"What I, Zhu Ying, want to be is such a general who does not fear death."

"If Zhu Ying ever flees from battle, greedy for life and afraid of death, any brother in the cavalry camp can take their saber and cut off Zhu Ying's head," Zhu Ying said loudly without any nonsense.

In this army, there was no such thing as empty promises, and even if there were, it was through military merit and killing enemies that one was promoted; this was set by the current Emperor.

In the army, only courage comes first, and those who are fierce and good at fighting are respected.

Hearing Zhu Ying's words.

Zhang Wu and Fan Qing's expressions also became surprised.

Clearly, they had not expected him to say these things.

But the gathered cavalry soldiers' gazes toward Zhu Ying changed.

"We swear to follow Battalion Commander Zhu until death."

"We swear to follow..."

All the soldiers shouted one after another.

Clearly.

They were also conquered by Zhu Ying's spirit.

The capital of Great Ming, Ying Ying Tianfu!

Fengtian Hall.

All officials gathered.

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang, wearing a dragon robe, sat majestically on the dragon throne.

On the steps below the dragon throne, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, wearing the crown prince's robes, carried a calm and composed demeanor, also exerting pressure on the court.

"We, your subjects, pay respects to the Emperor, may the Emperor live for ten thousand years."

The civil and military officials shouted in unison, the sound echoing through the entire hall, as if spreading throughout the entire palace.

The spirit of the Great Ming officials was displayed here.

"Rise."

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang raised a hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The civil and military officials shouted in response, then stood up one after another, lining up on both sides according to civil and military rank.

"If there is a memorial, present it; if not, retire from court."

The Chief Eunuch serving beside Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly.

"Reporting to the Emperor."

"I have a memorial to present."

A civil official from the civil official ranks stood out and said loudly.

"Proceed."

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"By the Emperor's decree, mobilize supplies and baggage."

"Now the Ministry of Revenue has mobilized from the national treasury, from Shuntian Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, and five other prefectures."

"By the decree of the Ministry of Revenue, mobilized from each prefecture, now the supplies and baggage have been transported in batches to Danning Prefecture and Beiping Prefecture."

"Within half a month, the supplies and baggage will all arrive, at least enough for our Great Ming's 200,000 soldiers for five months, and subsequent supply allocation is still being mobilized."

Zhao Mian, as the Minister of Revenue, stood out and reported respectfully.

"Not bad."

"Minister Zhao has worked hard."

A smile also appeared on Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's cold face.

"For the Great Ming, for the Emperor, this is the duty of the Ministry of Revenue," Zhao Mian replied immediately.

"How is the troop mobilization going?"

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the Minister of War, Tang Duo.

"Reporting to the Emperor."

"Duke Song and the various generals have already set off for Danning Prefecture."

"Troops have also been mobilized from various prefectures, totaling 200,000, heading to Danning Prefecture."

"According to the Ministry of War's situation, within a month, the army will arrive at Danning and begin the attack on the Yuan court," Tang Duo reported immediately.

"After planning for so long, the day has finally come."

"Pass on my decree."

"Let Feng Sheng bring Nahachu's head to see me."

"Completely reclaim the Liaodong territory," Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang said, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"Subject acknowledges the decree."

Tang Duo replied immediately, then retreated back to his court rank.

"Biao'er."

"How is Danning?"

Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao on the steps, his tone originally serious, but when facing his son, his tone was incomparably gentle.

"Reporting to Father Emperor."

"This time, wiping out bandits is the bait, but in reality, it is to attract the attention of the Northern Yuan."

"I believe Danning Prefecture has already achieved some results," Zhu Biao replied with a smile.

And it was at this moment!

"Report."

"Victory report from Danning Prefecture."

PS: I ask for nothing else, just for you to follow the book, is there any brother who can grace me with a visit?
