Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Li Yan defended his own dignity and the dignity of Ming Dynasty with his own life.

After his death, Wang Xin, the soldier in charge of communications, also fired the palm thunder and stuffed the palm thunder into the telegraph transmitting device.

This is what he learned in the first lesson of telegraph training, that is, as a qualified correspondent, even if he dies, he must die with his equipment.

However, Wang Xin obviously overestimated himself. He only completed half of what the teacher taught and destroyed the transmitter.When he picked up the gun and pointed it at himself, he couldn't pull the trigger.

He hesitated briefly and was immediately stopped by the wolf-like Timur soldiers.

Although Wang Xin regretted falling into the hands of the enemy and regretted that he did not commit suicide simply.

But if God gave him another chance, he would probably still have that moment of hesitation.

Because he was really unwilling, his mother worked hard to bring him up, and he never had a good day.How could he be willing to die when he saw that he could return home and receive rewards after pacifying the Western Regions...

However, if you surrender, you can't go back, right?

Wang Xin thought so.

Timur's soldiers quickly brought Wang Xin to Timur.

Wang Xin was not the only Ming Dynasty soldier alive on the battlefield, but Wang Xin was the only one who could be called an officer.The rest are ordinary soldiers or naturalized prairie cavalry.

The army of the Ming Dynasty was divided into several levels, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Guards must be the first level.They can freely choose between several arms such as guns, artillery, and communications.As long as you have enough ability, you can at least become a corps commander or a senior officer.

Followed by the southwestern soldiers, because they accepted Wang Hua early, they can have access to some firearms and serve as the second echelon of gunmen.

Again, there are the naturalized Mongolian and Chagatai people. They are nomadic people themselves. When they enter the Ming army, they can only serve as cavalry guards or reconnaissance rangers.

Timur had fought many battles with the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally knew who was the most valuable person on the battlefield.

Therefore, he didn't even bother to look at the Meng Yuan cavalry who had just changed their clothes and ordered them to be imprisoned.

But as long as there are living Ming people on the battlefield, even those who are half dead will be rescued with all their strength.

Just because these people have the most proficient firearms manipulation techniques and can use the Ming Dynasty's complex firearms.

"Be kind to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and don't allow anyone to treat them harshly or insult them."

"Yes!"

Timur issued this order in front of Wang Xin, and after Wang Xin saw his kindness, he looked at Wang Xin with a smile.

"I am the Sultan of Timur. Can you introduce yourself?"

"Wang Xin!"

"It's a very good name. I remember that the word "xin" is very important in the culture of your Ming people. How does one say, "No one can stand without faith?"

"Yes!"

"I think you blew up a wooden box before you were caught?"

"Yes!"

"What is the wooden box used for?"

Wang Xin closed his mouth tightly when he heard this, not intending to say a word.

However, Timur was not angry, and just looked at Wang Xin with a smile.

"If my guess is correct, that thing should be a tool for you to contact the Ming Emperor, right?"

"What are you calling for?"

When Wang Xin saw that Timur called out the name of the telegram accurately, he opened his eyes in surprise, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Timur laughed loudly when he saw this.

"Your Ming Dynasty has done a good job in keeping secrets. I have spent a lot of money to buy it for so many years, but I haven't even been able to find any accessories."

Wang Xin snorted coldly after hearing this.

"It's useless!"

"Even if you get the transmitter, you won't be able to use it. The mystery of this thing is beyond your ability to understand!"

Timur nodded honestly when he heard this.

"Yes!"

"We are too far behind the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has long been as prosperous as the Kingdom of Heaven, but we are still kneeling in the dust."

"I'm just curious. Ming Dynasty is already so rich and prosperous. Why does it have to compete with a group of ants?"

The group of ministers behind Timur all changed their expressions when they heard this.

Their pearls are equally powerful and their people are equally extraordinary.

Why would Your Majesty belittle yourself and elevate others so much?

Compared with the puzzlement of the ministers on Timur's side, Wang Xin's side was even more puzzled.

Because he didn't know why Ming was interested in this land. Based on his experience in the Western Regions in the past few years, this land was not worthy of Ming's experience in conquering.

But he doesn't need to understand, as a soldier he just needs to obey.

Timur looked at Wang Xin who was also confused, shook his head in disappointment, and said to the people around him.

"Stay down and treat his injuries, and treat him well. I can be of great use to this man!"

"Yes!"

After Wang Xin was taken down, Timur took a group of ministers and generals to visit the battlefield.

"In order to eliminate the 30 Ming army, we invested 2 troops one after another, and we were surrounded on all sides by calculated calculations. In the end, we paid more than [-] casualties before we could wipe out these [-] people. …”

"Your Majesty, you can't blame us for not being brave. It's because Ming Dynasty's firearms are too sharp."

"Their rate of fire is faster than ours, their range is farther than ours, and their accuracy is higher than ours. How can we fight them?"

"There are also their artillery, some are used for siege, some are used to attack infantry, and some are used to blast large areas to attack cavalry."

"Even in the dark night, their artillery is very sharp and brings us very heavy casualties!"

Timur smiled bitterly as he listened to the generals under his command complaining.

"I don't mean to blame you. I watched your battle yesterday. Each of you was very brave. You charged regardless of life and death, and that's why we achieved this great victory."

Tamerlane said the word "great victory", which completely finalized the war.

They won, and they won big!
Although it was 30 vs. [-], with more than [-] casualties, they still won a great victory!
When many generals under Timur heard this, they finally put their hanging hearts in their stomachs.

Your Majesty, just admit it!

Timur sighed quietly.

"I'm just thinking about how we can defeat the Ming Dynasty and drive the Ming Dynasty out of our land..."

The generals behind Timur all closed their mouths when they heard this. Even Ali Muad, the most eloquent, had no idea of ​​speaking. Only Timur's eldest grandson, Ma Heima, had a face full of confidence.

"Grandpa, didn't we capture the Ming army and seize so many firearms!"

"We ordered the craftsmen to work hard to imitate, and then let the prisoners teach us how to use firearms. After a few years of training and accumulation, we can always find a chance to defeat Ming Dynasty!"

Timur looked at the high-spirited eldest grandson with a doting smile on his face.

"You are indeed my most valued grandson. I am very happy that you have such ambition."

"But I'm afraid I don't have much time left for Pearl. The important task of driving the Ming Dynasty out of our land must be left to you..."

As soon as Timur said these words, everyone's faces showed a gloomy look.

If the empire was like it was a few years ago, it would be no problem to immediately make Heima the heir.

But now the empire is in danger, and it has been beaten like a lost dog by the Ming Dynasty. Is it too childish to establish a young man who is still in his infancy?
Ali Mouad couldn't stand after hearing this, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, Prince Shaharul is still in Khorassan, which has not been affected by the war. Why not let Shaharul lead troops to support him?"

"Shaharu?"

Timur smiled mysteriously when he heard this.

"He has a more important mission!"

After defeating the Ming army, Timur stopped pretending and directly announced his location to several Ming armies around him, causing other armies to quickly gather towards him.

Timur repeated his old tricks and still sent people to dig a large number of trenches and traps along the way.

He never believed that Daming could suffer a second loss, but he believed that these methods could at least stop Daming's marching speed.

And he just needs to buy a little time for Shaharul, so that Shaharul has more time to complete that great opportunity.

"Ma Heima, send someone to inform A Ming and ask him to come back..." "Huh?"

"Grandpa, aren't you planning to assassinate the Ming Emperor?"

Timur shook his head when he heard this.

"No!"

"Amin won't succeed."

"Amin's thinking is inherited from Hashasin. He will not take action without being sure that one hit will hit."

"That's why I sent another group."

"Maybe the plan of this group is not perfect, and the execution is not pretty, but at least they dare to think and do it."

"Oh oh oh..."

Kangdu City.

A Ming has been stranded here for more than a month, but he still doesn't understand why His Majesty the Ming Emperor was assassinated.

He knew very well that he did not take action, and neither did the killer he trained.

However, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was assassinated right under his nose, causing him to be arrested and interrogated as a suspect for a long time.

Who on earth is it?
Could it be people from Byzantium and Ottoman?

In fact, A Ming already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it.

If His Majesty the Sultan did this, it would prove that the Sultan has lost trust in himself.

Is there any value in a killer who has lost his trust?

The answer is obvious.

Therefore, Amin has been very hesitant during this period. On one side is Timur's messenger, constantly calling him back with various signals.On one side was the prosperity and prosperity of Kangdu City, which gave him the idea of ​​being happy here and not thinking about the Eagle's Nest.

After all, killers are human beings too, and when they get older, they should have children and raise a little killer of their own blood.

On this day, Amin came to Kangdu University as always. This time he did not pretend to be a cook, but used his true appearance as a young student.

No one knows that his real age is only 25 years old, not even Timur.

In order to blend in with Kangdu, A Ming changed himself to a very popular name - Li Ming.

Nowadays, people in the Kangdu area are accustomed to giving themselves Ming-style names. The surnames Zhang, Wang, Liu, etc. are very popular, as well as their local characteristics of Mu, Han, Mo, etc.

The reason why A Ming changed his name to Li Ming was because the Ming Dynasty once had a royal family named Li, and he felt that this surname was worthy of his status.

Because before he entered the Eagle's Nest to receive training as a killer, he was once a prince of a small country, but the kingdom was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire.

A Ming came to school, said hello to all his classmates, and secretly went to the girls' department, planning to meet his favorite goddess.

Kangdu University admits girls, but few locals send girls to study, so many students are family members of Ming Dynasty officials.

Chen Ting is one of them. She received private education since she was a child. Later, she came to Kangdu with her father and became the first batch of female students at Kangdu University.

"Amin!"

"Come over quickly and take a look, something big has happened!"

Chen Ting held a thick newspaper and waved towards A Ming.A Ming hurriedly ran a few steps and ran to Chen Ting, who was sitting on a bench reading a newspaper.

"Ting, what happened?"

"Didn't you read the newspaper?"

"Report?"

"Oh... I forgot, you don't know the Chinese characters of Ming Dynasty, and you can't read the Ming Dynasty newspaper..."

"I'll read you the report above."

"Li Yan's second legion of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force, with a total of 700 people, defeated Baghdad, and more than [-] people died in the battle!"

"what?"

Even though A Ming didn't have any favorable impression of the country Ming, he still had a look of disbelief on his face when he heard that Ming had been defeated.

"how is this possible?"

"Isn't the Ming Dynasty an invincible existence? How could it be defeated?"

Chen Ting read the newspaper and said.

"Our Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said in the newspaper that the defeat of Li Yan's troops was due to underestimating the enemy and rushing forward."

"His Majesty also called on other troops in the newspaper to avoid arrogance and impetuosity, and not to forget the style and traditions of the founding of the country."

A Ming asked curiously after hearing this.

"What traditions did you have when the Ming Dynasty was founded?"

Chen Ting opened her eyes sensitively when she heard this, and looked at A Ming displeased.A Ming immediately realized the problem and quickly changed his words.

"It's us...our Ming Dynasty..."

Seeing A Ming say this, Chen Ting turned from anger to joy.

"I didn't know it before, but I found out after reading this report that when our country was founded in the Ming Dynasty, what we emphasized was the fine style and tradition of guarding against arrogance, impetuosity, and hard work."

"Oh oh oh..."

A Ming nodded in agreement, but was very dissatisfied with Chen Ting's statement.

Is this tradition made up?

A Ming was indeed right. This tradition did not exist before Zhu Yunxi wrote this draft. He made it up based on Li Yan's failure.

Although the style is made up now, it is also approved by Lan Yu and other veterans. Lan Yu, a shameless old guy, has repeatedly emphasized that he kept this motto in mind when he fought in the early years, so that he could win one big victory after another. .

"You... our Ming army is so powerful, no wonder it can beat the shit out of Timur."

Chen Ting was not satisfied and complained displeasedly.

"It's all shit and urine, it's so vulgar..."

A Ming scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing this. This is a new idiom that A Ming has recently learned, and I feel it is most appropriate to use it here.He didn't know that this thing was vulgar. He only knew the general meaning, which was to describe the way the army ran away when it was beaten badly.

But he also learned a trick, which is the transfer method.

"By the way, the number I just heard you said is wrong. More than 7000 people died in the Ming Dynasty. Isn't there still 3000 people left? Where are these people..."

Chen Ting said confidently after hearing this.

"These people should be treated as prisoners!"

"captive?"

Amin had the experience of being a prisoner and was almost branded a slave.

"These people are so pitiful. When they were captured, they were either killed by Timur or sold to the nobles as slaves. Even if they were lucky enough to return to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would not accept them and would only give them more severe punishment... "

Chen Ting asked confusedly after hearing this.

"why?"

"Why do I, the Ming Dynasty, punish them?"

"Prisoners!"

"Once you become a prisoner, it will be a shame. Can our Ming Dynasty allow soldiers to surrender to the enemy?"

When Chen Ting heard what A Ming said, she quickly flipped through the newspaper and then showed it to A Ming.

"You are wrong!"

"Our Majesty has said that he has sent an envoy to discuss with Timur. He is willing to pay ten times the ransom to redeem the captured soldiers. He also made it clear in the newspaper that he will not be blamed for the crimes that were not war crimes. The soldiers surrendered..."

"what?"

A Ming's cognition was subverted again, and it took a long time to utter two words with difficulty.

"Benevolence..."

"Is this what you call benevolence and righteousness?"

"Yes!"

"Then our Majesty is indeed a benevolent and righteous king..."
