Chapter 523
Jin Kingdom's Wrath
However, although some Han Chinese were afraid, when they saw this army that had descended from the sky so easily annihilate the Jin army, they were naturally grateful to Zhu Ying's army.
finally.
The people still cut off their braids!
At this time.
The Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards had already cleared the battlefield, and the bodies of the Jin soldiers were all burned to ashes.
After completing the cleanup of the bodies, Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, immediately reported to Zhu Ying.
"Your Highness, the bodies of the Jin soldiers have all been cleared away, and the queues of all the Han Chinese have been cut off!"
Zhu Ying nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and continued, "Very good. Since the Ming Empire wants to control this martial arts world, it should start by changing the people's mindset!"
"Immediately tell the Han people in this city that from now on, as long as there are soldiers of the Great Ming Empire, no one in the world will dare to harm them!"
"Your subordinate obeys!" Guo Zhen immediately replied.
after that.
Zhu Ying then moved the coordinates of this spatial portal to the sky above the city. Clearly, Zhu Ying had decided to make this city the main base of the Ming Empire in this [Comprehensive Martial World] for the foreseeable future.
……
A few days later
Within the capital city of the Jin Dynasty, Dadu.
Emperor Wanyan Shouxu of the Jin Dynasty sat on the dragon throne, his face quite grim.
Just now, a Jin soldier informed Wanyan Shouxu of what had happened in Beidu.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Capital has fallen!"
"Suddenly, a mysterious army appeared high in the sky. This army was numerous, numbering in the tens of thousands, and it also possessed all sorts of firearms that had never been seen before!"
"Although we fought bravely, we were no match for this army! At present, the entire Northern Capital has fallen!"
When Wanyan Shouxu heard about the current situation in Beidu, he angrily smashed the teacup on the ground!
It was clear that the Jin emperor looked quite angry.
He couldn't believe that any country or force in the world would dare to directly attack the Jin Kingdom!
This undoubtedly made Wanyan Shouxu feel extremely humiliated!
"What country does this army belong to?!"
"Has the matter been investigated thoroughly?"
Wanyan Shouxu questioned the guard in front of him, but the guard immediately kowtowed to Wanyan Shouxu and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it is my incompetence that I do not know which country this army belongs to!"
"However, judging from the soldier's appearance, he should be from the Central Plains!"
When Wanyan Shouxu heard that the person was from the Central Plains, his face once again showed confusion and doubt.
He pressed on, "What did you say? People from the Central Plains!"
“There are only two countries in the Central Plains at present, the Ming and the Song! Could it be these two countries?” However, after Wanyan Shouxu finished speaking, the minister of the Jin Kingdom had a different opinion.
"Your Majesty, I believe it was not troops sent by either of those countries! Neither the Ming nor the Song possesses advanced firearms!"
"Moreover, these two countries are located in the Central Plains, so it's even more impossible for them to appear silently in the north of my Jin Kingdom! Could they be foreign forces?"
At this moment, another Jin minister said, "Your Majesty, I believe there is no need to investigate the situation of this army now. The most urgent task is to engage them directly in battle!"
"Since they dared to attack Beidu, they don't take my Jin Kingdom seriously. We should teach them a lesson!"
Done.
The Jin emperor, Wanyan Shouxu, still wore a look of doubt and confusion on his face.
Obviously.
Wanyan Shouxu couldn't understand which country had suddenly launched a surprise attack on Beidu!
Immediately, Wanyan Shouxu turned his gaze to the guard in front of him.
Wanyan Shouxu coldly pressed on, "I'll ask you one more time, where did this army come from?"
"Don't tell me they came from high above! That's completely unrealistic!"
"I want a clear answer!"
"If you can't answer, then just cut off my head!"
After Wanyan Shouxu finished speaking, the Jin guards in the hall panicked and immediately kowtowed to Wanyan Shouxu!
"Your Majesty... everything I've said is true! This army truly descended from the sky!"
"The soldiers of this army ride giant beasts that can fly! It's quite terrifying!"
"Moreover! There are also extremely powerful firearms. These firearms are incredibly powerful; a single cannon can easily blast a huge hole in the city wall!"
At this point, the guard suddenly remembered that the army attacking Beidu City seemed to have banners with the character "Ming" on them!
Immediately, the guard, without hesitation, hurriedly said to Wanyan Shouxu, "Your Majesty! I've remembered!"
"These are Ming soldiers!"
"After defeating the defenders, the army attacking the north city seems to have erected a Ming-character flag on the city wall!"
Instantly.
Wanyan Shouxu immediately couldn't sit still!
Without a doubt, the Jin emperor never expected that it would be the Ming army that attacked Beidu!
He even stood up from the dragon throne, his eyes sharp as he looked at the guard and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Is it really the Ming Dynasty?"
"If you dare to deceive me, I will exterminate your entire family!"
The guard replied firmly, "Your Majesty, I am absolutely certain that this is true!"
"It must be the Ming army!"
just.
Even after Wanyan Shouxu finished speaking, he still couldn't believe it.
"Could it be that Zhu Wushi ordered the Ming Dynasty to send troops? But there's no reason for it; I haven't provoked the Ming Dynasty recently!"
"Why is this happening?!"
Clearly, Wanyan Shouxu couldn't understand it at all.
Just then, Wanyan Honglie and his son Wanyan Kang suddenly rushed into the main hall!
to be frank.
Wanyan Shouxu was quite excited when he saw Wanyan Honglie.
after all.
Wanyan Shouxu always believed that Wanyan Honglie was killed by the Ming army.
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
At almost the same time, Wanyan Honglie, the Prince of Zhao, and Wanyan Kang bowed to Wanyan Shouxu!
Without hesitation, the Jin emperor immediately stood up from the dragon throne and strode over to Wanyan Honglie.
"King Zhao, please rise!"
"You scared me to death! I thought you had been killed by the Ming army!"
"It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive!"
When Wanyan Honglie heard the Jin emperor say this, he quickly explained, "What? The Ming army?"
"Your Majesty, you've guessed wrong. It wasn't the Ming army attacking Beidu!" The Jin emperor immediately pressed on, "Not the Ming army? Then who could it be? This guard claims that the army is flying Ming flags!"
Wanyan Honglie took a deep breath and explained to the emperor, "It could never be the Ming Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty could never possess such powerful weapons!"
"Although this army is flying Ming flags, it is definitely not from the Ming Dynasty!"
"Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Wushi is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Cao Zhengchun and has no spare strength to attack my Jin Dynasty!"
"I believe this is very likely another force impersonating the Ming army!"
When Wanyan Honglie told the Jin emperor his inner thoughts, the latter nodded repeatedly.
Clearly, he also thought so.
Emperor Wanyan Shouxu hurriedly said, "Whichever country invades the Northern Capital, they are provoking me!"
"Beidu is extremely important to the Jin Kingdom. Now that Beidu has been offered up, let's all discuss how to handle this matter!"
As soon as Wanyan Shouxu finished speaking, Wanyan Honglie immediately stepped forward and said firmly, "Your Majesty, I believe we should naturally fight with all our might!"
"This is a complete challenge to the authority of the Jin Dynasty!"
"No country in the world has ever dared to treat the Jin Dynasty like this! We must teach these arrogant fools a lesson in the might of the Jin Dynasty!"
"I implore Your Majesty to immediately mobilize the army! Let's annihilate these traitors!"
After Wanyan Honglie finished speaking, he immediately gained the approval of many Jin ministers!
Instantly.
Almost all the ministers readily agreed to the challenge!
"King Zhao is right! We must take back the north! These people dare to provoke the Jin Kingdom; they are simply courting death!"
"That's right! Send troops immediately! Retake Beidu! If we don't avenge this, then other countries will dare to invade our Jin Kingdom in the future!"
"These guys must all be killed! Leave no one alive!"
At this moment, Wanyan Honglie proposed to the Jin emperor, "Your Majesty, I believe that in addition to the main army, we should also send martial arts experts to meet the enemy!"
"This army is extremely powerful and possesses various advanced firearms. If we only send a large army, we probably won't be a match for them!"
"If we want to achieve victory, we will definitely need a martial arts expert!"
When Wanyan Shouxu, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, heard Wanyan Honglie's suggestion, he naturally agreed with it.
then.
The Jin emperor immediately ordered, "Very well, in that case, do as the Prince of Zhao says!"
"All generals, heed my command! Immediately, 400,000 troops will march north to meet the enemy! Furthermore, martial arts experts will also accompany us!"
"No matter the cost, we must kill this army and retake Beidu!"
After Wanyan Shouxu finished speaking, all the Jin generals immediately accepted the order!
……
now.
In the present world, the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty.
Inside the Dragon Guardian Manor.
Duan Tianya, wearing a bamboo hat, appeared in the room of Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi!
"Tianya, you've arrived."
It was clear that Zhu Wushi had already sensed Duan Tianya's arrival, so he had prepared a pot of fine Longjing tea for his disciple in advance.
"Have some tea first."
After Zhu Wushi finished speaking, Duan Tianya did not take the teacup, but hurriedly said to Zhu Wushi, "Lord, something terrible has happened. Something strange has occurred in the Jin Kingdom."
"Ok?"
"Tell me, what strange thing has happened in the Jin Kingdom?" Zhu Wushi's face also turned serious after seeing how tense Duan Tianya's expression was.
Duan Tianya hurriedly said, "My Lord, according to rumors, the northern capital of the Jin Kingdom has been breached by a mysterious army!"
"Moreover, they killed all the experts in the Zhao family, and the Jin soldiers stationed in Beidu were also completely wiped out!"
"I heard that only Wanyan Honglie and Wanyan Kang escaped!"
After Duan Tianya told Zhu Wushi the information he had gathered, the Iron-Blooded Marquis of the Ming Dynasty suddenly stood up from his chair.
It was clear that Zhu Wushi was also shocked upon hearing this.
"Tianya, is this really true?"
Zhu Wushi asked again.
Duan Tianya nodded firmly and said, "Divine Marquis, this is absolutely true!"
"Now, the Emperor of Jin has begun mobilizing troops!"
Zhu Wushi listened, but his face was still filled with some doubt.
Clearly, Zhu Wushi simply couldn't comprehend which country possessed such formidable power to have breached the Northern Capital.
And just then...
A Ming Dynasty official suddenly arrived at the Protectorate Manor.
Upon seeing Zhu Wushi, the official immediately said, "Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi, receive the imperial decree!"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Wushi immediately knelt down to receive the imperial decree.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Iron-Blooded Marquis, proceed to the palace immediately! I have important matters to discuss with you! So be it!"
Zhu Wushi dared not hesitate and immediately said, "Your humble servant accepts the decree!"
After Zhu Wushi received the imperial edict, he immediately asked the official who had proclaimed it, "Sir, may I ask why His Majesty has summoned me to the palace?"
The Ming official waved his hand and said expressionlessly, "My Lord, you shouldn't ask any more questions. You should go back to the palace as soon as possible."
This matter is extremely urgent!
To be honest, when Zhu Wushi heard the official's answer, he had a general idea of what was going on. He knew very well that this matter must be related to the Jin Dynasty.
quickly!
Zhu Wushi then used his lightness skill to quickly arrive at the palace.
at the same time.
Inside the main hall of this imperial palace, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty was sitting on the dragon throne.
Within the Ming Dynasty of the [Martial Arts World], the current emperor is none other than the famous Zhengde Emperor, Zhu Houzhao.
"The Divine Marquis has arrived!"
As soon as the eunuch announced this, Zhu Wushi hurriedly entered the main hall!
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
On the dragon throne, Zhu Houzhao was extremely polite upon seeing the Iron-Blooded Marquis, and he quickly said, "Uncle, please rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Zhu Wushi stood up, he saw the Grand Eunuch Cao Zhengchun standing next to Zhu Houzhao. At this moment, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said to Tiedan Shenhou, "Uncle, the main reason I summoned you here this time is to discuss the Jin Kingdom with you."
"I have just received news that a mysterious army has easily breached the northern capital of the Jin Kingdom, and it is said that they have massacred all the Jin people in the city!"
"Our Great Ming has always been at odds with the Jin Kingdom. Now that the Jin Kingdom has suffered such a blow, it must be severely weakened. This is an excellent opportunity for our Great Ming!"
