Chapter 202 Oath to the North

"Oh? Then the little king Hua really wants to bring troops north and fight Jiannu?"

Sun Chuanting was really surprised.

"Yes, I wonder what Governor Sun has suggested to my king?" Niu Jinxing nodded.

"Hmph! Go back and tell you that King Hua, I, the Ming Dynasty, never negotiated with the bandits. He wanted to bring troops north. My governor could not do anything to him now, but it was impossible to truce him. He was a thief and an official. Wherever he fled, I would chase him wherever he fled."

Sun Chuanting pondered for a while before snorting coldly.

"Since that's the case, the student will say goodbye."

Niu Jinxing smiled and clasped his fists. The meaning of this sentence can be heard by anyone who is not a fool.

Looking at his departure back, Sun Chuanting touched his beard and frowned. He couldn't guess for a moment that the little king was playing the role of what he was doing.

But if we can really get a truce in March and we will go north to fight the Tartars together, it will be beneficial to the current situation without any harm.

The key is that yesterday, he received news that Lu Xiangsheng was besieged by the Tartars in Julu. He wanted to cross the river to rescue him, but the emperor's life was still in his arms and could not escape. He was really anxious.

………

After Niu Jinxing returned to Xiangfu, he said Sun Chuanting's words, and Qin Yu also smiled.

I decided to cross the river in two days to go north.

"Girl, don't rush to open the seal after I leave. Kaifeng City is high and thick, it's not that easy to chew. Create more ladders and catapults. Do you know if you've done enough and prepared to attack the city?"

"Well, I understand, will Sun Chuanting follow him north?" Hongying nodded quickly and looked at him.

"Yes, he is now forced by Chongzhen and doesn't know what to do. With an excuse, he will naturally go north without hesitation."

Qin Yu knew that Sun Chuanting was steady and knew that he was defeated, he would never come to Kaifeng. He would probably stay in Zhengzhou and practice troops while planning and making plans.

As the largest city in the Central Plains, Kaifeng is no longer as prosperous as the Song Dynasty, but it is also the third largest city after the two capitals.

The population is one million, the city is more than three meters high, with a circumference of more than twenty miles, the moat is five meters wide and one meter deep, and the city walls are all wrapped in blue bricks and reinforced by glutinous rice. They not only have military defense functions, but also can protect against water and sand. They are definitely hard bones comparable to the two capitals, and even more difficult to fight.

In history, Kaifeng City has rarely been recorded as being breached by the enemy, and most of them are the defenders who voluntarily surrendered.

The princes in the city are as noble as cows, and the King of Zhou is not comparable to the stupid pig of King Fu. In history, Li Zicheng has not yet captured Kaifeng three times.

During the Qing Dynasty, the Nian Army and the Taiping Army were also defeated several times under Kaifeng City, which shows how difficult it is to fight Kaifeng, the number one important town in the Central Plains.

Similarly, Kaifeng has a wide range of water and land networks, with restaurants and shops in the city. In the past, cargo ships are endless. Businesses and travelers from all over the country are like crucian carp crossing the river. The money, grain and materials in the city are probably not piled up like mountains.

It was precisely because he knew that Kaifeng City was difficult to fight, that Qin Yu planned to transfer Sun Chuanting away, otherwise he would stay in Zhengzhou to train troops, leaving the army unable to let go of the siege.

After all, Sun Chuanting is not an ordinary mediocre person. With Hong Chengchou's lesson, he may not be able to confront him head-on before he is sure.

As long as he is led to the north by himself, after Kaifeng City is captured by Hongying next year, with Chongzhen's character, he will definitely be stripped of his position and dismissed from prison.

For the whole afternoon, Qin Yu told Hongying that everything was too big and very, very much. Fortunately, there were tens of thousands of craftsmen now. If it weren't for the lack of copper and iron, Qin Yu would have wanted to cast cannons.

In the room.

Seeing Zhang Yan looking at her and having a look of true expression, Qin Yu was a little embarrassed.

"Empress, this time the army is sneaking lightly. You can't imagine the hardships in it. You should stay here obediently and enjoy your happiness. When I come back, I will drink and have fun with you."

"Hmph, I am not as delicate as you think. When I was a child, I had chopped firewood, cooked food, and picked water."

Seeing him talking and drinking, Zhang Yan snorted coldly, thinking about what happened that night in her heart.

"Haha, the Empress is not quite delicate. I'm afraid there are no beautiful women in the world."

Qin Yu almost laughed. She was like this and she was still carrying water and chopping firewood to cook. I’m afraid even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe it if he said it.

"You are not... you are not coveting... aren't you just taking this palace with you?" Zhang Yan said with a little shyness, too lazy to explain to him about taking care of her younger brother and sister when she was a child.

"What's the use of salivating? The Empress doesn't give her food. Isn't it even more uncomfortable to just look at her and not eat it?"

"you…"

Zhang Yan was arrogant in the past, and everyone respected her very much. Not to mention being teased unscrupulously like this, she had never even had a slight word.

How could I stand the modern hooligan like Qin Yu? While annoyed, I was so embarrassed that I wanted to commit suicide immediately. My pretty face turned red to the bottom of my neck.

Finally, I took a deep breath before recovering, sat down calmly and said, "I am too lazy to talk nonsense to you, the shameless disciple. If you don't bring me with me, I will never eat anymore."

Although she knew that if this little thief really wanted to attack the capital and cause trouble in the world, she would not be able to stop her, even if there was a glimmer of hope, she would not want to give up.

"All right!"

Qin Yu also fell silent and finally nodded. Naturally, she understood the reason why she wanted to follow her was nothing more than worrying that she would launch a prince to serve the king and kill Chongzhen in the capital.

As he said that, he came behind her, held her shoulders with both hands, and leaned into her ear and whispered: "But I am ugly, and then the empress is accidentally taken advantage of by me, so she is not allowed to seek death..."

"You...you are delusional. If you dare to do anything, I will never live a life."

Zhang Yan stood up like a frightened rabbit, retreated to the side, gritted her teeth and said.

Obviously, for the sake of the glimmer of hope of persuading Qin Yu, tolerating his verbal frivolity is already Zhang Yan's limit.

Seeing that she reacted so much, Qin Yu had to laugh dryly and thought that this woman seemed to be easy to coax.

However, the role of Zhang Yan, the woman, is not just a simple one who holds her and plays, but is definitely a good card.

If you fight at the critical moment, according to Chongzhen's bad temper, you will definitely fight him to the death regardless of everything.

He knew that the reason why Zhang Yan did not commit suicide and tolerate him teasing him from time to time was that he still had a little fantasy of persuading him to surrender.

If she was left here, the slightest fantasy would be gone, and this woman might not have died of hunger strike.

The next day, the army officially swore an oath on the south bank of the Yellow River. The battalions were arranged neatly, with swords and guns sharpening. Everyone was brand new cotton coats, military uniforms and leather shoes. The team leader wore a rattan helmet below, and the team leader wore an iron helmet above.

Except for the firearms and one thousand engineers, the rest of the combat soldiers and infantry were all wearing brand new cotton armor, and the squad leader was also wearing heart protection mirrors on his chest.

Even a thousand female soldiers and a thousand personal guards each made a vest cotton armor, plus the flags of each team, the camp flags, and more than 10,000 troops were standing there. The onlookers were amazed, and the spies who came to inquire about the news were frightened.

Standing beside Qin Yu, Zhang Yan, dressed in a literary style, opened her mouth slightly in shock. This was the first time she had seen the Chinese army's military presence.
