Chapter 818. The Prince's Return to the Snake City

If a person will definitely meet a noble person in his life, Mao Xingjian can be sure that his noble person is Han Xiaomo!

This woman is not from a noble family, nor has she had unexpected talent, and can even be said to be stupid, but it is because of her stubbornness that has achieved her gold-like quality. She just struggled from the brink of death, and may even be blind in this life. When she woke up, she did not think about herself and did not cry. Instead, she happily made a midnight snack for him.

It was just that she promised Sister Changping to take care of him, the "big nephew"!

Maybe Mao Jue saw this and arranged this girl to his side.

Although she definitely does not bear more than her own prince, she can implement the meaning of her existence from beginning to end. So why can he, Mao Xingjian, the crown prince of the Ming Empire, the son of Emperor Mao Jue, and the Governor of Rocky Mountain, be unable to recover?

I remember Mao Jue once hummed a song. The general who stopped the cliff was, and the king who did not stop the cliff was! Last night, he was glad that the only thing he was better than Chongzhen was that he knew himself, but in retrospect, this was Chongzhen's point that Chongzhen was stronger than himself. No matter how far the Ming Empire fell into, until the end, Chongzhen still stubbornly believed that his way of governing the country was right! It was the ministers who misled him!

If a leader is not confident even himself, how can he lead his subordinates to overcome all obstacles and develop a prosperous and prosperous career?

Anyway, Mao Xingjian had no choice but to lose! He went back to the Ming Dynasty like this, even if he inherited his status, he was regarded as a flesh-and-blood puppet without thoughts. What's the difference between him and dead? So he broke into Adrena's handsome tent the next day.

And indeed, things will only come true if you work hard! Holding the golden scepter in your hand, Mao Xingjian was sure of this moment. Perhaps what Adrena said about shutting him up may be one of Mao Jue's goals, but Mao Jue's expectation for him is definitely not to go back to be a walking corpse puppet!

With the golden scepter in his right hand, no follower followed. Mao Xingjian stood straight, stalking his head and rushed straight to the camp of the Ninth Firebird Corps at the northernmost end.

The camp guards were naturally placed with four spears, blocking Mao Xingjian's way, but their eyes didn't even slant. The prince proudly pushed the scepter upwards and opened their spears.

"With this Ministry of War authorization to the Corps, summoning the generals to the central army to see the lonely ones and fail to beat the three-way drum, the army will be punished for being lazy!"

They looked at each other as Mao Xingjian swept past them with a scepter. Several gatekeepers met in embarrassment. In the end, the one who put down his spear and ran away.

The Ming army was very strict and could not figure out the situation. The central army had just finished beating the drums. Ten regiment commanders and ten staff officers were already hurriedly leaving everything at hand and rushed over. However, looking at Mao Xingjian sitting in the commander's position, these officers were still in a mess like the guards, but they didn't even bow to him.

The shadow of the famous tree, Mao Xingjian's own glorious achievements have spread all over the past few days. Who would like to follow a cowardly general? After hesitating for a while, the staff officer who took the lead on the far right, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, was pushed out like a playboy, and more like a soldier, and bowed politely.

"Welcome the Prince to the Ninth Corps to inspect! The Prince is here, and we are simply shining!"

"Welcome to the Prince!"

Thank him, a group of officers came to see each other neatly, but he said very skillfully. You are always inspecting, so you can get out after watching it! I won’t admit you!

How could Mao Xingjian not hear this little thought? If it were in the past, he would definitely be furious, but after experiencing this incident, Mao Xingjian took many things lightly and didn't care. He directly smashed the golden scepter on the table.

"In the name of the Ministry of War's authorized command of the scepter, I ordered you to pack up and prepare to drive out immediately! Follow me to Snake City!"

As soon as these words were said, the entire officers were a little confused. A group of guys lowered their heads in surprise and muttered in a low voice. Some even cursed without politely, but they didn't discuss the reason for this. Mao Xingjian was already impatiently knocking on the golden scepter again.

"Do you want to be lazy?"

"Return to the prince, the order we received was to stand by on the spot and follow the army south in three days..."

"That's the past! Now I order you to move eastward!"

Listening to Mao Xingjian's unreasonable words, he was really harsh and dissatisfied. On the right, the sixth military uniform was embroidered with golden tassels. It was probably a hero who was a hero. A particularly tall and tough guy shouted hard.

"We will go to the war with the Women General, not the Prince! We will not obey your orders!"

"Then you ask the female general to go!"

Seeing Mao Xingjian shaking his head frivolously, he was stunned for a moment. The strong man was really a bachelor. He turned around and left the tent and watched him leave. A group of officers had just breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Mao Jue knocked on the scepter again and shouted gloomyly.

"Where is the military judge? The commander of the Fourth Regiment Pang Liang was unruly and disrespectful to resist the orders. He eliminated all honors according to military law, deprived of his citizenship of the Ming Dynasty, and expelled him from the army. He served as the deputy agent of the Ninth Corps, the acting commander of the Ninth Corps, and the governor of Loki Mao Xingjian on November 19th!"

The military judge was under the command of the Censorate of the Corps, and was not the same as these in-service officers. Mao Xingjian casually deprived him of the identity and honor of the hero. He did not dare to mess with this master for their sake. He obediently raised his pen and quickly recorded it on the life and death book commonly known as the soldiers. Seeing the shocked officer group, Mao Xingjian once again knocked on the scepter impatiently.

"Who else is going to ask General Female to ask for instructions?"

This master is not as cruel as the legendary tofu, so cruel! His eyes were full of incredibleness, and he was afraid, and his golden glasses were no longer clamoring. A group of officers hurriedly held his fists one after another and bowed heavily, with a sad voice, and he bowed helplessly.

"I will obey the order!"

…………

The Ninth Corps of the Imperial Guard is a very special force. First of all, it changed the convention that all troops were composed of pure Ming citizens. This was a mixed corps, recruiting two regiments of Li's Korean troops and three regiments of Japanese samurai. Originally, Mao Jue wanted to recruit two more regiments of Mongolian light cavalry, but in order to hurry up, there was only one regiment of Mongolian light cavalry, one regiment of grassland Sakatsu, and the remaining three regiments were recruited locally by the capital.

As for the officers, they did not introduce graduates from Liaodong Military Academy and were changed to the Capital Kinth Military Academy. The academy soldiers from this place did not look like elite troops recommended by all levels of the Corps to enroll. The elite troops trained by real guns and live ammunition were all composed of various second-generations, commonly known as the Young Master Officer Corps.

As for the record, it was even more miserable. After participating in the Southern Expedition, the combat effectiveness of this unit was at the bottom among the major corpses of the Ming Dynasty. It basically shook flags and shouted all the way.

The afternoon's expedition may not have gone to bed at night. From the officers to the soldiers under him, they were packing their luggage. It took more than an hour to complete the task of driving. The cavalry regiment in front was the pioneer, and the cart and cannons were pushed out of the Gem Sea Town.

Tears were almost drying. When she learned that the prince was going to go to war, none of the remaining survivors of Snake City came out to see off this huge army. There was only a little girl carrying a bag on the road and looking anxiously, but her godless eyes could not see anything. She could only persevere in pulling the passing soldiers one by one and asking.

What Han Xiaomo didn't know was that Mao Xingjian was actually only a few meters away from her, and the army was driven away was just separated by both sides of the road. Looking at her anxious appearance and lonely figure, his heart was also filled with pain, but the meaning of this trip was extraordinary. If he could not recover his dignity, he would rather die by the Snake River.

But even if he died, he would not want to see Han Xiaomo being hurt again! After gritting his teeth and making up his mind, Mao Xingjian finally knocked the forged steel helmet that he hated most in daily life on his head, kicked the war horse hard, and poured it into the road ahead in a dull way.

On the balcony of the second-floor barracks, like the first day, she was wearing a wrapped military coat, holding the big axe that Mao Jue gave her to represent military power, and watched Mao Xingjian supervise the army to leave. I don’t know if it was happy or emotion, but in the cold weather, she vomited a deep mouthful of white smoke, and Adrena returned to the command center dullly.

............

This road leading to the Snake River Plain, like Han Xiaomo, the most important person in his life, has also become the most important road in Mao Xingjian's life. In the capital, for more than ten years, the range he had been in the range of activities from the Duke's Mansion to the Prince's East Palace. The longest trip was when Li Zicheng captured Beijing City. He fled to Tianjin with Lu Zhong, but in three years he traveled back and forth seven or eight times, and he remembered it deeply every time, especially this last time!

Every time I walked a long way, the thick snow quilts could always be seen scattered on the road. Some of them were frozen on the side of the road like sculptures, some were lying on the ground and struggling to crawl forward, and some were torn to pieces by wild beasts. The corpses that were rising and falling one after another made the morale of the Ninth Corps clearly lowered a little. The soldiers were terrified to look at the bones around them until they could not see them at all.

But Mao Xingjian did not give any speech to boost the morale of the army. He just followed the team dullly, saying no other than giving orders every day, and his silence was terrible.

But for this special mixed corps, these are just appetizers. On the sixth day of December, when they arrived in Snake City, they knew what the real tragedy was.

The Indians did not have the habit of cleaning up the battlefield. After burning, killing and looting, the tribes withdrew from the land again. The only corpses left here were left. The once-human residence has now become a paradise for beasts, a pack of corrupted wolves and foxes appear in the city in groups, and even in a house near the outer city, a bear who woke up from hibernation regarded this place as a new sleeping cave. The wind blew through the burning and collapsed house. The sound was like a burst of ghost crying, and the listeners shuddered.

"OMG!"

Even the troops forgot to command. Jinli Glasses looked at the silent dead city on the hill in a daze, shook his head in disbelief and sighed.

"This..., how many people will die?"

Another officer who was quite fat and rounder than him, had his teeth trembling. In order to hide his fear, the fat man quickly turned his head, but he was surprised to find that behind him, whether it was a conscripted corps composed of citizens of the capital, the Koreans, or the Japanese warriors, they were also dull and unbelievable.
