Good morning Daming - Chapter 757: Launch, Victory

Chapter 758: Launch, Victory

Several imperial doctors hurried to Xin'an Lane. After getting off their horses, the leading imperial doctor smiled bitterly and said, "From what your majesty has said, if this girl has a difficult delivery, we will be held responsible."

"It is natural for Lord Changwei to fight for his country in Datong." Another imperial physician felt that it was natural.

"But this is the first baby after all!"

Anyone who has studied medicine knows that a woman’s first pregnancy is the most dangerous.

"Do the best you can..."

"Leave it to fate!"

Several imperial doctors entered the Bo's mansion, and then Huang Jin came in hurriedly.

"how?"

Huang Jin asked as soon as he entered the door.

Fu Cheng said: "After my wife woke up today, she had some intention to start a movement."

Li Tian was lying on the delivery bed at this moment, with last night's nightmare still in her mind.

——My wife!

In the dream, Jiang Qingzhi was dressed in white, looking handsome, holding out his hand with a smile, as if he was ready to take her on an outing.

In an instant, the scene changed and turned into a battlefield. Countless enemy troops swarmed forward, roaring and as ferocious as beasts...

Jiang Qingzhi stood alone in the center of the battlefield, holding a long sword in his hand, watching the enemy approaching.

He roared and rushed towards the enemy.

There was thunder in the sky, and then lightning struck... Li Tian had never had such a real dream. The lightning seemed to be real and struck between Jiang Qingzhi and the enemy.

A huge chasm blocked the enemy army. Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help laughing, but he actually raised his head, pointed his knife at the sky and shouted, "I don't accept it!"

"Husband!" Li Tian shouted, extremely anxious, wanting him to go back.

"I don't accept it!" Jiang Qingzhi still looked up at the sky and roared, "Why? Why?"

Why?

Li Tian suddenly thought of Jiang Qingzhi's dream talk: Why did you leave me here? I want to go home!

Boom!

There was constant thunder in the sky, as if God was angry.

"I want to fight my way out of this world!"

The dream changed, and Jiang Qingzhi was wearing armor, with thousands of soldiers behind him. He shouted to the crowd in front of him: "All soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

The enemies were shouting and holding...what was that?

That is... a scroll!

Those enemies turned out to be Confucian disciples!

Countless Confucian disciples waved the scrolls in their hands and roared at Jiang Qingzhi. Those scrolls turned into sharp weapons and arrows, covering Jiang Qingzhi.

"Husband!"

It was at that time that Li Tian was frightened awake.

Then, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and knew that the baby was coming.

Two midwives who had been examined by Jiang Qingzhi many times were standing by, looking relaxed.

"Don't worry, madam." Granny Wang smiled kindly.

In order to comfort the mother, both midwives called themselves "mother-in-law".

But Huang Yaner secretly got the news that the Black and White Impermanence would be by the side during childbirth, and if the mother or the child was destined to die, the Black and White Impermanence would reap the life. Midwives were worried that if they gave their real names, they would be taken away by the Black and White Impermanence, so they all called them by their surnames plus the word "po".

The other Granny Li also said in a relaxed tone: "The lady is not small, the birth canal should open quickly."

Li Tian hummed, and then footsteps were heard outside, "Madam, Eunuch Huang from the palace is here."

Huang Jin's voice came, "His Majesty ordered us to bring the imperial physician here, so the county lady can just focus on giving birth."

"Hmm!" Li Tian felt the pain eased a little and said with a smile, "This child is a well-behaved child." Before she finished her words, a sharp pain came over her and she could not help but clench her teeth and frown.

In the front yard, Fu Cheng summoned the guards, and more than ten guards from the Duke's Mansion sent by the Duke's wife were also there.

"When my wife is giving birth, there might be some clowns causing trouble. Keep an eye on every corner of the house and guard the doors. No one in the front yard is allowed to wander around. Anyone who wanders around will be arrested!"

There was a look of worry in Fu Cheng's eyes, and then Xia Yan came back.

"Mr. Xia, how is it?" Fu Cheng asked.

"It's pure rumor." Xia Yan wiped the sweat off his forehead. "I went to Zhilu, and Duke Cheng said that Qingzhi's memorial was delivered yesterday, and Altan was trying to force him to leave the city for a decisive battle."

"But at this moment..."

"The decisive battle has probably begun." Xia Yan said with a smile, "But it's still early. It will take at least three to five days, right?"

Seeing the guards' solemn expressions, Xia Yan said, "Don't worry."

"Mr. Xia, you may not know that there is a group of villains outside, saying that Lord Bo was defeated and surrendered to Altan. Some people also said that my wife had already followed Lord Bo to Datong, and the one in the mansion now is just a substitute. There were people spying outside the alley yesterday, and I am worried that those people will break in."

"When I came here earlier, I saw an acquaintance."

"Who?"

"Lu Bing!"

"That's good."

At the entrance of the alley, Lu Bing coldly ordered: "Your Majesty has ordered that before the child is born, if anything goes wrong in Xin'an Lane, all the people on duty will be exiled to the north with their entire families!"

There was still a glimmer of hope for exile in the southeast, after all, the Japanese pirates had been beaten up by Long Wilbur last time, and they had been quiet recently. Exile in the north... that was a dead end.

More than ten Jinyiwei responded solemnly.

"Commander Lu."

Rui Jingxian arrived, followed by more than a dozen fierce men.

"What is the East Factory doing here?" Lu Bing snorted, worried that the Taoist priest was dissatisfied with him or was worried about him. "Although I don't like those powerful people, I still admire heroes like Chang Wei Bo who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country. I heard that the county lady was giving birth, so I brought some people here..."

Rui Jingxian glanced to the side and saw a few men standing there. When they saw him looking at them, they pretended nothing had happened but walked out quickly.

"We're all here, and you still want to leave?" Rui Jingxian pointed at the men and said, "Catch them!"

More than a dozen soldiers rushed over and pinned several men to the ground. One of them raised his head and said angrily, "I am a scholar, I am a scholar, why are you arresting me?"

Rui Jingxian walked over, squatted down, and patted the man's cheek. "Are you a scholar? Why did a scholar come to Xin'an Lane? Don't say you have relatives in Xin'an Lane. If you do, I will apologize in person. If not, I will... cut your tendons in your hands and feet in person, how about that?"

There was more fear in the man's eyes, "I'm just taking a walk."

"Walk? There are so many places to walk, but I was born in Xin'an Lane. Let's go to our East Factory for a walk."

Rui Jingxian stood up, clapped his hands, and said to Lu Bing: "There are rumors everywhere outside. Some people are fleeing south to avoid disaster, and some are worried and suggest peace talks. There are also some unusual movements in the city. I think we have heard of some holy teachings... In this extraordinary period, Commander Lu, you and I should unite sincerely."

Lu Bing said calmly: "These are just minor troubles. Once the victory news comes, they will all disappear. Only the White Lotus Sect..."

"It is the White Lotus Sect that we are worried about." Rui Jingxian lowered his voice. "The capital is empty. Once those lunatics have an attack, I heard that the powerful and wealthy also believe in this so-called holy religion and talk about ascending to paradise all day long."

"Who?"

"That's our credit. Commander Lu, are you planning to grab it? Ha ha ha ha!"

Rui Jingxian laughed and left.

In Xiyuan, Emperor Jiajing, Wang Yiqi and others were discussing the war.

Wang Yiqi stood in front of the map, pointed at Luanling Pass and said, "Luanling Pass has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, assisted by 7,000... wolf soldiers. We can be invincible in this battle."

When talking about the wolf soldiers, Yan Shifan once again questioned, "If those local soldiers were brave, how could they easily come down the mountain and surrender?"

Emperor Jiajing was also somewhat puzzled. "Back then, the chieftains in Guangxi made trouble, but the soldiers easily suppressed it..."

If they could be suppressed by soldiers and officers who were not even as good as watchdogs as Jiang Qingzhi said, would those so-called wolf soldiers be useful against the Iron Cavalry of Altan Khan who could defeat the soldiers and officers of the Ming Dynasty?

Old Wang didn't know what Jiang Qingzhi was up to, so he laughed dryly and said, "I guess Long Wilbur knows what's going on, right?"

Emperor Jiajing said: "Although I don't understand the battle formation, I know that Luanling Pass is the key to this battle. If Luanling Pass is preserved, we can at least not lose this battle. If Luanling Pass is lost..."

"The host and the guest have switched places!" The old prince consort also noticed it.

"According to the rules, today's memorials should have arrived." Yan Shifan glanced outside the hall.

Starting from five days ago, Jiang Qingzhi and Yan Song submitted memorials to the emperor every day.

This is the feeling of the rulers and ministers of Anjing.

Cui Yuan said: "Could it be that a war is coming?"

Yan Shifan has been thinking about this battle recently. "The right side of the Great Wall in Datong was demolished by Altan Khan's army. The detachment entered the pass from there. If Altan Khan marched straight in from that opening...the connection between Datong and the capital would be cut off."

"Mr. Wang." Emperor Jiajing looked at Wang Yiqi. This required a professional to analyze.

Wang Yiqi said: "The Nine Border Defense seems to be impregnable, but this line of defense is too long and it is impossible to guard everywhere. If Altan wants to march south in a big way, there will be loopholes everywhere."

"Are you saying that the Nine Frontiers are useless?" Cui Yuan asked sharply.

"No, the role of the Nine Frontiers is to deter." Wang Yiqi said: "If Altan's army marches south in full force, then the Datong defenders can attack and cut off his food supply and return route... But..."

"Most of the imperial guards were taken away by Chang Wei Bo, and most of the elite troops nearby went to Luanling Pass. Once Luanling Pass is breached, Altan will be like a fish in the sea. As for the food supply route, although I don't know much about the military, I also know the principle of obtaining food from the enemy."

Cui Yuan's eyes were sharp. "There are many wealthy families in the capital area. Altan's subordinates only need to rob dozens of them, and that will be enough food and grass."

"So, it's still Luanling Pass!" Yan Shifan concluded.

Emperor Jiajing felt a little uneasy, but his expression remained calm.

"Your Majesty, how about..." Cui Yuan's eyes flickered. "The memorials from Lord Changwei and the Prime Minister should have come by now, but... I think, how about..."

"What?" Zhu Xizhong asked.

"Nanjing has been a bit restless lately. Your Majesty, why don't you...go south to take charge..."

Boom!

Cui Yuan's words were like thunder, shocking everyone.

Go south and take charge!

In fact, they went south to avoid Altan's army.

Emperor Jiajing said coldly: "I am not going anywhere! I am right here, in the capital."

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Tong rushed in, holding a memorial in his hand, "Chang Wei Bo's memorial!"

"Bring it!"

Zhu Xizhong rushed over impatiently, took the memorial, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to the Taoist priest.

Emperor Jiajing glanced at the old playboy with dissatisfaction, and slowly opened the memorial, but his left foot was moving slightly...
