My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 254 Northern General 1
"This is--"

Feeling that familiar aura, some white-haired Jinling family officials couldn't help but have a terrible guess in their minds.

They knelt on the ground devoutly, showing no signs of resistance.

Xu Cheng didn't understand what happened.

The youngest of the tearful veterans had experienced three dynasties.

At this time, someone looked up. It was Lu Yu, the left minister of the Ministry of War, who was sent by the Nanjing Ministry of War to greet him.

He looked deeply at the sword engraved with the word "die and rest" on Gui Yong's waist.

Put away the tears in your eyes.

His eyes glanced at the warriors and adopted sons behind Gui Yong who were wearing armor and carrying swords. Their armors and weapons were all engraved with inscriptions recording the victories and glory they had achieved.

Obviously, these people are the same as Gui Yong.

Those weapons and armors engraved with ancient inscriptions, as well as the falcons and war eagles flying in the sky that were refined with secret techniques.

They are all proof of their strength and identity.

"General Gui——"

The old man lowered his head piously.

His tone was full of respect and humility.

"May the heroic spirit of Jiantian, Mingdao, Honest, Honest, Holy, Divine, Divine, Martial, Most Benevolent, Great Virtue and Respecting the Emperor protect you forever!"

"The banquet has been prepared in Jinling City today and has been waiting for you and the generals for a long time!"

……

"The shark has sent a letter of challenge! It is agreed that the decisive battle will take place at the mouth of the river in three days!"

When Zhu Houcong handed the letter that shimmered with blue light to Wang Zuo beside him, and to those around him who were photographing the majesty of the emperor, although the journey was already empty, in front of him, it was made by the efforts of many chefs in Jinling. of delicacies.

But they could only swallow silently. No one dared to enjoy it as the emperor said before.

As soon as Zhu Houcong finished speaking, Gui Yong's adopted son, Gui Qian, who joined the army, immediately stood up, clasped his fists, and bowed deeply to the emperor on the throne.

He immediately fell to his knees and said in a deep voice.

"Sharlet Xiaoxiao disobeys the king's will and dares to offend my great Ming power. Three days later, I will be the king's vanguard and cut off Xiaoren Xiaoxiao's head in front of the tens of thousands of troops and offer it to the king."

After saying these words, all the generals from the Nine Sides knelt down on one knee, and the sound of armors clashing together resounded.

"We are willing to march forward for the king, cut off the head of the shark leader and offer it to the king! Please allow the emperor's permission!"

At this time, the crowd was excited when facing the soldiers.

The emperor at the top was not as moved as everyone thought by the soldiers' eagerness to fight to repay their father.

Instead, he raised his glass, shook his head, and refused with a smile.

soothed.

"I understand your desire to serve the country, but the leader of the sharks has great supernatural powers, which may not be what you can handle."

Seemingly feeling that his words were a bit hurtful, Zhu Houcong added.

"Tomorrow you will stay behind for my plundering formation and watch me behead the thieves. Then you can fight against the stubborn bandits, kill the pirates, and make contributions to the country!"

"Yes--"

Although everyone was unwilling to do so, since the emperor had spoken, they all retreated.

Looking at the people in front of him, Zhu Houcong knew that they had been living in the north for a long time and did not know the specific details of the East China Sea War.I just thought they were harassing the sea like the Northern Mermaid tribe, and plundering people and animals under the leadership of the sea tribe's priests.

Without knowing the current actual battle situation in the southeast, the death of the sea king who was as good as a wild god outside the pass alone at the hands of Zhu Houcong was hard to count with both hands.

However, if these northern generals really let them meet the lonely wild god, maybe the previous sea king like Chen Eu might be killed by these northern generals due to their carelessness.

Zhu Houcong looked at the royal sword engraved with the word "death and rest" on the waist of Gui Yong, the commander-in-chief of Xuanda, who led everyone to kneel down to plead for battle.

The aura that was very similar to what he felt when reading Xianzong's autograph made Zhu Houcong fall into deep thought.

"Everyone, there is no need to worry. On weekdays, we are kings and ministers. In the next three days, we will fight against the enemy together. Today, we are all father and son. You all, just treat this as a family banquet. There is no need to worry too much..."

"If you still don't use your chopsticks, then you don't regard me as your king and father, and I will punish you for your crimes!"

Zhu Houcong glanced at the people in front of him. Some of the Beijing troops and northern generals in front of him even burst into tears when they heard that the emperor was so kind.

"That's it! Eat it quickly! Whoever doesn't eat it will be beaten by the imperial army!"

On the side, Zhu Changning couldn't wait to see the feast in front of him.

As soon as Zhu Houcong finished speaking, she couldn't wait to reach out to the half roast goose with honey sauce closest to her.

Everyone saw that the Emperor not only did not blame him, but also shook his head helplessly, and introduced the girl with a mask, a voice like a girl, and wearing the uniform of the imperial army to everyone.

"This is my Imperial General, the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army! He has been adopted in the palace since he was a child. He has such a weird temper, but he actually talks nonsense. Please be patient with me!"

After hearing the emperor's words, everyone had different expressions.

At this time, the northern generals couldn't care less about the constipated expressions on their faces on the faces of the Beijing army generals who were on the eastward expedition when they and others said they wanted to kill the leader of the Hai tribe.

At this time, they became interested in the girl next to Zhu Houcong who was obviously very close to the emperor.

Naturally, everyone can see that although the two are close in age, their relationship has nothing to do with the relationship between a man and a woman.

The emperor seemed to really regard her as his own.

What ability does this person have?To be so favored by the emperor!
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in everyone's mind, Gui Yong at this time obviously noticed Zhu Houcong's eyes frequently looking at the sword on his waist that was given to him by Emperor Xiaozong in the past.

So after raising his cup to thank the Holy Grace, he picked up the sword and explained to the emperor.

"This is the sword that the late emperor specially gave to me during the Hongzhi period when I was discussing meritorious deeds and rewards in the Jinluan Hall for my meritorious service in quelling the bandits at Zijingguan——"

The patrol camp was in the fourth year of Chenghua. Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty saw that as the war continued in all directions, the Ming court's finances gradually became tight, the number of refugees increased day by day, horse bandits were rampant, and even the residences of officials in the capital were robbed in broad daylight.

When Emperor Xianzong learned of this, he was furious.

So he personally issued an edict to select 200 warriors from the Beijing army who were good at riding horses and bows to patrol the capital to resist thieves from all directions and protect the public order of the capital.

"Huang Ming Shi Fa Lu" records: "In the last years of the year, the commander reported to allocate 200 troops to the regiment and camp, and to catch the thieves and follow them."

And ordered everyone in the Jinyi Guards to cooperate.

He said, "There are many robbers inside and outside the capital. They openly ride horses regardless of day and night, each armed with a weapon, and rob residents and passers-by of their property, causing great inconvenience. We must ensure peace and tranquility and do not treat it as normal."

The bandits at that time were said to be bandits, but they were no different from rebels, ranging from hundreds to thousands.

Although Gui Yong is a general, he has a martial arts background.

Accepting the imperial edict, he was incorporated into the first batch of patrolling knights.

Conquering the South and the North, he has repeatedly made military exploits.

During the Xiaozong period, he was promoted to the commander of the patrol battalion.

Ordered to clear out thieves from Zijin Pass to Shanhaiguan——
