"I can teach you the art of war, but in the future, you must address me as master in private..."
"Okay, master."
"This battle tactic is passed down from the Hegemon-King Xiang Yu..."
Inside the Zhu residence, before the red candles, Guan Gong kneels down, three loud knocks, not one less - one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, their connection, from now on, cannot be severed or cut off.
"The martial art is called the Overlord's Battle Technique, consisting of a total of 136 moves, including horizontal slashes, vertical chops, standing shocks, level sweeps, and imposing threats, with nine different techniques combined in various ways. It is divided into three levels: Overlord, City Breaking, and Unifying the World."
"The entire set of techniques emphasizes overpowering opponents with strength, where one inch of strength equals a hundredfold force, capable of defeating ten thousand enemies..."
Wang Dongming spoke eloquently, like the flowing waters of a great river.
Zhu Tianyou hastily interrupted him and inquired, "Let's start now to avoid wasting time. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it becomes for Emperor Ming..."
Wang Dongming helplessly said, "Alright."
Wang Dongming's tyrant battle technique originally came from his former superior Yuan Chonghuan, who was a Confucian general with limited strength. It is said that this battle technique was obtained by Yuan Chonghuan by chance from the military, and later passed on to the various generals in the army. Although it was difficult for everyone to comprehend, it still greatly benefited the generals. After Yuan Chonghuan passed away, this battle technique was obtained by Wang Dongming.
Wang Dongming's Linglong Minglong Spear combines his own kung fu, emphasizing agility without sacrificing power, making his skills among the best in the world.
Zhu Tianyou is skeptical, but he is also quite interested in this high-demand, high-ceiling combat technique.
Then something happened that made him desperate. The 136 moves were executed slowly, one by one, for a full hour. Zhu Tianyou was in awe of the complexity and eccentricity of Ancient China's martial arts.
He expressed that he was unable to fully remember them in a short time, and feared that he would not be able to master them in the near future.
Wang Dongming said, "You don't need to memorize these techniques, but you must have a deep understanding of the mastery of power and the responses to these techniques, because Wu Sangui has also comprehended this battle method. He has nearly reached the 'Overlord Realm.' If you are not familiar with its secrets, it will be difficult for you to successfully capture him."
Zhu Tianyou replied with embarrassment, "I will give it my all."
Zhu Tianyou repeatedly suffered setbacks in the battle against Wang Dongming in terms of skills. Zhu Tianyou wants to challenge Wang Dongming all day long, but...
Wang Dongming said: "I am physically weak, and martial arts require deep contemplation. It all depends on individual talent. Moreover, there is still plenty of time now. Zhu Tianyou can definitely undergo short-term training for ten days or half a month."
When it comes to time, Zhu Tianyou immediately thinks of one thing - it's already March 4th! According to history, the Ming Dynasty would have perished on April 25th. Moreover, the system has given him a death sentence. If he can't go back soon to support Shun Tian, he, Zhu Tianyou, will surely lose everything and become unable to take care of himself. It would just be waiting to die in troubled times.
Zhu Tianyou met Wang Dongming and said that he could only challenge him three times a day. Once his martial arts skills improved, he would be able to defeat Wang Dongming within ten moves without relying on brute force. Then Zhu Tianyou would consider it a success and could try to take action.

March 21
As the days passed, the atmosphere in Shanhaiguan grew increasingly uneasy and restless. Occasionally, foreign tribes would enter the city to negotiate with Wu Sangui. It seemed that Wu Sangui was caught between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the three parties were about to make a final decision.
The atmosphere in the city has also started to become strange. The military pay has been delayed for a whole month. Zhu Tianyou understands that time cannot be delayed for a moment, even though he has not yet reached the level of being able to defeat Wang Dongming within ten moves, there is no time left.
Zhu Tianyou expressed to The Third Prince and Wang Dongming that they must act immediately, as delay will bring trouble.
After half a month of rest, the Third Prince's complexion was fairly acceptable, but he had already made up his mind to face death and indicated that they should start immediately.
Wang Dongming, on the other hand, still had doubts about whether Zhu Tianyou could swiftly capture Wu Sangui without alarming everyone. However, he understood the tense situation and agreed to take action right away.
The assassination operation, target—Wu Sangui.
Wang Dongming proposed to take action during the weekly morning meeting when senior generals would gather at Wu Sangui's residence. Unlike in the military camp where escape would be easier, all that was needed was for Zhu Tianyou to guard the main entrance and capture Wu Sangui to achieve success.
And he, Wang Dongming, would leave early on the pretext of going to the gate to intimidate junior officers and guards, attracting attention and delaying time.
Zhu Tianyou's troops would also take the opportunity during the rotation to make every effort to arrange to enter the outside of the mansion to prevent anyone from causing trouble inside.
The Third Prince was responsible for disseminating the final blood edict throughout the city, taking Zhu Tianyou's remaining subordinates to maintain public order on the streets.
The plan was feasible; as long as Wu Sangui was either dead or captured, without anyone to take charge, Shanhaiguan would surely change hands more easily, and the situation in the world would be shaken.
...However, they did not find a figure and arrived outside the Jiang Mansion... They stopped from a distance, seemingly pondering something.
March 23rd
Shanhaiguan mutiny, will eventually come.
Wu Sangui first spoke about some trivial matters as a matter of routine, but suddenly said, "Wang Dongming! Are you plotting a rebellion?"
As he spoke, he threw a large stack of papers from the table, indicating for the generals to take a look.
Deputy General Li Decai stepped forward and recited the evidence of Wang Dongming's plot to incite chaos. This person, Zhu Tianyou, had previously been seen on Wang Dongming's list of confidants, but now it seemed that someone had turned traitor at the last moment...
Wu Sangui's eyes were filled with cold laughter and mockery, looking quite pleased with himself.
Wang Dongming was taken aback, wondering if the plan had been leaked.
At that critical moment, Zhu Tianyou stepped forward and shouted sternly, "Halt! You Wu Sangui, who betrays the country and seeks glory by colluding with the Jurchens, how dare you accuse my General Wang of rebellion?"
Pressing on his chest, his heart pounding, Zhu Tianyou shouted resolutely, "Wang Dongming, get out of here! I will capture that old thief Wu."
Deputy General Su Shanshui advised, "Jiang, you are just momentarily confused. If you come to your senses now, General Wu will not blame you..."
"I don't need it. I know what I'm doing. I'm just being loyal to the Ming Dynasty. I'm ashamed to be associated with you traitorous dogs who flatter foreigners." Zhu Tianyou refused decisively.
Wang Dongming was planning to leave quickly, but the guards in the mansion tried to stop him. Zhu Tianyou glared and shouted.
He fiercely threw his general's helmet towards the door frame, making a loud bang as the helmet hit the wall, leaving a dent.
The guards were shocked as Wang Dongming swiftly rushed out of the door. There, it would be his battlefield.
Zhu Tianyou stood alone at the entrance, exuding an extraordinary presence, resembling a single warrior capable of holding back thousands.
Surrounding him were twenty-five elite guards clad in armor and wielding halberds, who were personal soldiers of Wu Sangui, skilled in formation combat.
The guard intended to approach and attack Zhu Tianyou when Wu Sangui suddenly said, "General Su has intelligence indicating that Jiang Tianyou possesses exceptional strength. It would be best for you to remain on the sidelines and protect us while we pursue the traitor Wang Dongming. The generals and I will handle this traitor."
Wu Sangui thought to himself, "These guards lack sufficient combat power. Once a fight breaks out, their weapons can easily be taken away, leading to even greater casualties. Moreover, there are bound to be many rebel soldiers outside; sending them out for support is the wisest strategy."
Zhu Tianyou silently gave way to them, his eyes blazing with fire as he fixed his gaze on Wu Sangui, ready for battle.
Su Shanshui said, "General Wu, the guards outside lack leadership; I am willing to go and provide support."
After saying that, he got up and walked out of the mansion. Zhu Tianyou really wanted to kill him on the spot when he realized that he had discovered their plan, but he chose to let him go in silence. Zhu Tianyou still quite admired clever people, and he felt that... things might not be so simple.
"Next is our one-on-one duel, and there's no one else to protect you," Zhu Tianyou said calmly.
Wu Sangui let out a cold laugh and said, "Brothers, this rebellion involves many parties. If you do not wish to be deeply entangled in it, please step forward and fight."
The Guanning Army has a total of thirteen deputy generals and two vice generals. Excluding Zhu Tianyou and Wang Dongming, along with Su Shanshui who stepped out, there are twelve others remaining.
Twelve enemies, each a martial general of no less than second-rate strength, donned their battle armor and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat without weapons.
Zhu Tianyou could only curse in anger, "Wu Sangui, you despicable coward, are you too afraid to fight me to the death?"
Wu Sangui coldly replied, "Bravery without wisdom leads only to death; I disdain it."
Zhu Tianyou charged forward with all his might, pushing into the crowd.
The mutiny at Shanhaiguan during the Ming Dynasty seemed somewhat like a brawl.
Zhu Tianyou was surrounded and pummeled by the crowd, using all his brute strength to throw people off and striking out with punches and kicks. Those who tried to intervene were left bloodied, unconscious, and incapacitated.
A group of people lay scattered around the room, sprawled in disarray. Zhu Tianyou slowly approached Wu Sangui; this was his decisive battle.
