Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

"Hahaha, I escaped."

Scar finally had a happy smile after the disaster.

That group of elite armored soldiers was too scary for him, but even though he was terribly frightened now, he still couldn't swallow the bad breath and cursed loudly.

"You guys wait for me. When I go back, I will call people back and kill you all."

At this moment, a "嘚𨱏嘚" sound suddenly sounded on the muddy road.

"what sound?"

Scarface looked around in fear, fearing that the group of armored soldiers would chase him.

Not long after, the sound became louder and louder, and seemed to be getting closer and closer to Scarface. Even the gravel on the ground was shaken up.

"This is a horse's hoof"

Before Scarface could finish speaking.

Suddenly, a horse covered in iron armor galloped out from the flank, with horseshoes nailed on its feet. The noise it made just now was when it hit the ground.

There was also an armored knight sitting right away. Although it was slightly different from the armored soldiers who appeared in the village just now, his aura was just the same - looking at everything.

Take three or two breaths!

The armored cavalryman had already rushed to Scarface, waving the long spear in his hand.

A ray of cold light suddenly appeared!

There is no obstacle, just as smooth as a sharp steel bar penetrating a block of tofu!

The riding horse passed through Scarface's chest with ease, and with the roar of the war horse, he was lifted under the cold night sky and rode towards the village.

Even until his death, Scarface could hardly see how the elite Liaodong cavalry achieved such superb skills.

[Liaodong Iron Cavalry]

[Weapons: light riding spear, steel sword, horn war bow, piercing arrow]

[Armor: Ming style iron helmet, Ming style chainmail, animal skin arm guards, splint boots, Liaodong elite armored war horses]

[Arm evaluation: Excellent cavalry unit, quick response, superb riding skills, proficient in archery]

Carrying Scarface's corpse, Liaodong's elite cavalry stepped off their horses and bowed to Qin Hao.

"Well done!"

The war horses and men were all covered in iron armor, and the cold light reflected in the moonlight showed murderous intent. Qin Hao praised loudly.

The Liaodong Cavalry is worthy of being one of the three elite troops in the late Ming Dynasty.

I think back then, under the leadership of Li Chengliang and Li Rusong, they repelled the Mongol Tatar invasion many times. Later, in the Battle of Pyongyang, they annihilated the Japanese Konishi Yukinaga Division in one fell swoop and killed tens of thousands of people. It can be said that they have numerous achievements.

However, Xiao He is also a success, and Xiao He is a failure!

After the death of Li Chengliang and his son, this elite cavalry unit could not escape the fate of decline, and almost disappeared in the battles of the late Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Qin Hao thought that if Chongzhen could recruit such a Liaodong cavalry, it would not be a little more than 3,000 people. Maybe it would not be defeated by Li Zicheng's peasant army so quickly.

Just as Qin Hao was thinking, the mission reward came from the riding and slashing system.

[Side mission - eliminate bandits]

[A group of unknown bandits attacked the peaceful village. Although the villagers resisted vigorously, they were not their opponents. They helped the villagers eliminate this group of marauding bandits and showed their martial arts skills to the world. 】

[Mission Reward—Aselei Elite Shooter X5, Villagers’ Favor]

Seeing the soldier he had just acquired, Qin Hao couldn't wait to open the system panel to check his data.

[Asele Elite Shooter]

[Weapons: Prairie recurve bow, piercing arrow, one-handed sword]

[Armor: closed helmet with chain mail, cloth scarf, studded armor, sewn leather armor with chain mail, animal skin arm guards, splint boots]

[Arm rating: A very good infantry archer, almost a member of the ranks of sharpshooters. He is the best in terms of damage and battery life. His arrows are weird, accurate, and deadly]

In the distance, Li Yi also supported Chen Hu and came to Qin Hao. They all knelt down and bowed their heads and said,

"Thank you sir for saving my life."

After the scattered villagers saw that the bandits were eliminated by the soldiers who suddenly appeared, they slowly gathered together and walked towards this side. Many of them had tears on their faces.

Due to the majestic figures of the warriors, they only dared to peek from a distance and did not dare to get too close.

"Let's have a dinner date later."

Qin Hao stood beside the Liaodong Cavalry and said frivolously to the two of them.

People are like iron rice and steel. If they don't eat one meal, they will feel hungry.

It was still early in the morning when Qin Hao traveled through time, and now the moonlight was hazy. After a day's journey, he had not even touched the water or rice, and his belly was almost touching his back chest.

"ah"

Chen Hu and Li Yi were startled at first, and then smiled tremblingly. Although they did not understand the words of the adults in front of them, they heard the word "rice". They must be hungry.

The two of them quickly said in unison: "There is food, there is food."

"Li Yi, hurry up and ask everyone to cook some food for all the adults."

After all, Chen Hu was older. He turned around and ordered Li Yi while starting to talk to Qin Hao.

"Sir, the cold dew is starting to come out outside. Why don't you come into the village with us?"

"Alright"

Qin Hao looked at the short sleeves on his body and felt a little chill, so he agreed.

After following Chen Hu all the way to the village, Qin Hao had time to take a good look at this small village on the plain.

As far as the eye can see, from the front to the back of the village, there are more than 20 small mud wooden houses roughly arranged. Just from the appearance, it looks like a village in eastern Fujian. The thatch laid on the houses is in a triangular shape, which is conducive to drainage.

But it is a pity that several houses have just been set on fire by bandits. The flames have not been extinguished yet. Several villagers are rushing to get water to put them out.

Along the way, all the villagers who saw Qin Hao knelt down and saluted.

At the same time, Qin Hao also heard the weak sobs of several of the women, presumably the family members of the villagers who had just died in the battle.

It can be said that the whole village is in a miserable state now, but I still think about eating, which makes me feel a little guilty.

Seeing the unbearable expression on Qin Hao's face, Chen Hu felt warm in his heart and bowed his head in compliment:

"Sir, you are kind. It is all thanks to you and all the warriors tonight that we can survive and survive without having to lose our heads. The villagers will also be spared from death and will not be brutally humiliated."

"Don't the parents here care about the local generals?" Qin Hao asked with curiosity on his face.

Seeing the appearance of the village and the clothes of the villagers, Qin Hao had already guessed that it was in the country and that it was before the Qing Dynasty. After all, he didn't see the unique money rattails of the Qing Dynasty.

"Sir, you don't know something. This place is Dawan, and it is still the place of naturalization. The pot is hanging overseas, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. How can any official care about it." Chen Hu said with a helpless look.

I think if it hadn't been for the disaster in their hometown and the high taxes on the gentry, which made it difficult for them to survive, they wouldn't have crossed the ocean to seek a way out here.

"Oh, I just came here today, so I don't know much about the situation."

I heard that Chen Hu said that this place was actually Dawan. Qin Hao was a little different. This time travel actually brought him to this place. Dawan would be the treasure island of Taiwan in later generations.

In the pre-Qin period, it was called "Yingzhou". After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Han Dynasty and revived it, it was changed to "Eastern Yingzhou".

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was also called "Yizhou". From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, Taiwan was called "Liuqiu".

During the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to "Ryukyu".

In the early Ming Dynasty, Taiwan was called "Dongfan"; when merchant ships crossed the Taiwan Strait, it was customary to use the high mountains in northern Taiwan as a sign to identify the direction. Because the mountains were like a chicken cage, it was also called "Chicken Coop". Fishermen often repair boats and mend nets in the western port of Taiwan, calling the port "Shin Bay".

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan was also known as "Dawan", "Da Yuan" and "Taiwan Yuan". People along the coast of Fujian also call it "burying injustice."

Because in the process of developing Taiwan, many mainland people died in the wind and waves, or died in a foreign land due to the unsuitable climate and soil. The situation was so miserable that it was named "Burying Wrongs".

"Your Excellency, are you not from Fujian and Yue?" Chen Hu looked at Qin Hao in surprise.

Except for his soft appearance, black hair and black eyes, the adults all look like people from the Central Plains. He is completely different from the group of red-haired ghosts Chen Hu has seen before. Moreover, the adults have almost no difficulty communicating with me. I insist on saying that he It was a red-haired ghost, but Chen Hu still didn't believe it.

"Hahaha, you guessed wrong. I am from the Jiangnan area. It's just that my ancestors did not escape the war and fled to the West. Since then, they have settled in the West and learned some dialects." Qin Hao slowly explained.

"Then why are you here, sir?"

"It's a coincidence that I am the third son in the family. Before my parents died, they gave all the family property to my two brothers and left a boat for me. I just wanted to go back to my ancestral homeland to see if I could make a good living. I didn’t expect to encounter a storm at sea and come here.”

"That's it, that's it."

Chen Hu responded immediately, but he was absent-minded and seemed to be thinking.

"I wonder, what year is it this year, and which saint is in power?" Qin Hao asked, this is the question he is most concerned about at the moment.

If it were a prosperous or normal time, there would be no need for him to start a dynasty to compete for hegemony and let the people suffer innocently for selfish reasons. The worst case scenario is to go to America and build your own empire.

"This" Chen Hu obviously stuttered and didn't know what to say.

"Seems like you're having trouble?"

"Hey, I'm not hiding this from you, sir. We are ordinary people like us who have never read a book. How can we know the emperor's name?

However, I do know that there was a great eunuch named Wei Zhongxian in the dynasty. He controlled the government affairs and raised taxes every year, causing us to leave our homes. "

Speaking of this, Chen Hu's face was full of hatred.

Wei Zhongxian?

Qin Hao secretly thought to himself that this most famous eunuch in the late Ming Dynasty, based on this calculation, it should be 1621~1627, and Emperor Qi Zhu Youxiao will be in power tomorrow.

This period can be regarded as a time of great contention!

The whole world is restless!

Nurhaci of Dajin has been rebelling for a long time. He used thirteen armors and the Seven Hatreds to raise his troops and vowed to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. Now he is outside the customs.

After his death, his eighth son Huang Taiji came to power and changed the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty. From then on, he led the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty to conquer the east and west. He soon unified Mongolia and conquered North Korea. Then he began to attack the Ming Dynasty with all his strength. .

The Ming Dynasty was also in chaos, and natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and droughts occurred frequently in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hubei provinces.

A large number of refugees emerged. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai and other bandit leaders took advantage of the situation, recruited refugees on a large scale, and plundered across the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Han Dynasty, attacking the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. In less than ten years, the Ming Dynasty was defeated by Li Zicheng in the capital. The Dashun army led by him conquered it, and the Ming Dynasty ended.

The Thirty Years' War in Western Europe was in full swing. The new religion and the old religion, the imperial power and the religious power were fighting fiercely, which directly caused the European countries to fight all over the ground, and the new shipping route was temporarily suspended for a while.

This gave the Dutch a great opportunity. They used toys like glass balls from the Indians to buy Manhattan Island, the financial center of the United States in later generations, and began to build the New Amsterdam Port.

At the same time, their strength greatly increased. They fell into the quagmire of war in Western European countries, vigorously developed maritime trade, and gradually became sea coachmen, and wantonly peeked into the unknown territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, only Japan in the east, under the leadership of the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu, won the Battle of Sekigahara.

Sitting firmly in the position of General Conquering the Barbarians, the Warring States Period in Japan ended with numerous capable people but chaos, and began to enter Japan's last shogunate era - the Tokugawa Shogunate.
