"Oh, welcome to the Hall of Zhonghe." Zhu Qiyu nodded, feeling bad in his heart.Now that the sound of the cannons is so loud, I am afraid that the power will not be small, what is this brave man doing?
In the Hall of Zhonghe, waiting for Zhu Qiyu to appear here in a brand-new dragon robe, Shi Heng, the commander in chief of the three armies, and Yiming, Minister of the Ministry of War, had already knelt down on the ground.As soon as he saw the emperor's face, he knocked his head on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime."
"Forget it." Zhu Qiyu, who looked a little unhappy, seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just waved his hand, looking helpless.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Heng and Yi Ming were in charge of the army, while the other was in charge of the military equipment and logistics.Now there is a sudden sound of cannons resounding like an earthquake in the city. They didn't even know it before, and they must be charged with the crime of dereliction of duty.Once the emperor has the heart, it is possible to replace them with this reason.
In this way, you have to confess your guilt, and at least have a proactive attitude.
It is impossible to say that Zhu Qiyu doesn't have a little bit of anger in his heart.I am the emperor, the master of this world, but when will something happen that even the master will not know?But if you have qi in your heart, you have qi, and there is indeed no better person to use now. Fortunately, whether it is Shi Heng or Yi Ming, they are still loyal. Even so, what's the point of forgiving once?
With the temper and patience that had to tolerate everything, Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair under Jin Ying's service, and then looked at the two kneeling in the hall with heavy eyes, "Tell me, what is going on? What are you doing? And how are you going to deal with it? If such a cannon suddenly falls on the palace, how will I deal with it?"
It's no wonder that Zhu Qiyu is so cautious, it's because his life has been threatened, and if it were anyone else, he might not be able to calmly deal with it.
When asked this question, both Shi Heng and Yi Ming looked bitter, and what happened tonight was indeed beyond their expectations.
Originally thought that Duke Zhongdan had the backing of mercenaries, so he should not be underestimated.But if you really fight, there is nothing terrible. The opponent's advantage is good firearms, but the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, too few troops.Once a fight really started, if the capital's 15 recruits fight out together, each of them can drown the opponent with a single spit.At that time, no matter how advanced your weapons are, you may not be able to escape the doom of being wiped out under heavy siege.
Only because mercenaries are not easy to mess with, and with the presence of Yang Chendong, who can effectively shock Wala and Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, there is still a need to keep this person, so it has never really turned his face.
What happened tonight caused the two people who were originally very confident to panic instantly. They seemed to suddenly realize that the matter was not as easy to solve as they imagined, and the situation seemed to be even more serious.
Regardless of other things, even the movement like an earth dragon turning over is not something they can resist.And if the expectations are correct, this should still be a masterpiece of mercenaries, so how many of their backhands have not been revealed?
Attributing all the strength to the mercenaries is a kind of contemporary Ah Q spirit.Thinking like this for self-comfort, things won't be too bad.It's like once they have a good relationship with the mercenaries, can't all these powerful firearms be used by themselves?In this way, it can be regarded as a bad thing turned into a good thing.
Chapter 3: Hu Huaihai's Death
Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty Chapter 3 Hu Huaihai Killed His Head Thinking so, Yiming took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the new artillery is so powerful that it should be equipped by the mercenaries. I beg you to get in touch with him more." , if you can get such a powerful cannon, it will be the blessing of the emperor, the blessing of our great Ming, and the blessing of the common people."
As soon as he heard that he could own such a firearm, Zhu Qiyu immediately became interested, "Yi Aiqing, are you sure?"
"Your Majesty, what the mercenaries are looking for is nothing more than money and money. As long as we agree to the request, it should not be difficult. After all, there is no conflict of interest between us, and in fact, they have no intention of being our enemy. I think it's feasible." Yiming knew that this moment was not a time to hesitate, so he spoke out the speculation as reality.
"Okay, that's it. Yi Aiqing and Jin Aiqing will be handled by both of you. Remember, as long as the other party's request is not too excessive, you can agree to it." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile on his face. Said brilliantly.He even began to imagine in his heart what it would be like once he possessed such a firearm. At that time, he could unify Daming first and defeat the emperor Zhu Qizhen, and then he could even go to Oala with this imperial conquest. Shame, at that time the history books should be another description and praise of myself.
As for placing Jin Ying in it, this is also one of Zhu Qiyu's self-protection methods.After all, the power of the artillery is too great, so big that it can threaten your own life and safety at any time. Even if this is the case, such things must and can only be controlled by yourself, otherwise, I am afraid that you will not even be able to sleep well in the future.
Yi Ming made a suggestion about the artillery, and Shi Heng, who knelt on the ground on the other side, also said: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. I suggest that the defense should be changed immediately, and the Datong Mansion, Kaiping Guard, and Guangning Guard The sergeants in the middle and the soldiers of the capital will switch defenses, please allow the emperor."
"This is something that has already been discussed. Now that Shi Aiqing mentioned it, I'm sure, and we'll do it right away." Zhu Qiyu knew very well about the change of defense of the sergeant, which had been planned for a while. I thought about it for a while, but now that Shi Heng mentioned it, let's do it immediately.
Speaking of which, the change of defense this time is very confidential. The real insiders are only the emperor Zhu Qiyu, the chief eunuch Jin Ying, and Marquis Shi Heng of Wuqing. During the conversation between the two of Heng, he, who was kneeling aside, also looked confused.
Fortunately, Shi Heng threw him a look, meaning that he would explain this matter later, which prevented Yiming from feeling excluded from the highest power.
One is to build a good relationship with the mercenaries and make further contacts, and the other is to change the defense of the army.After the two things came to fruition, the discussion in the palace about tonight's bombardment came to an end.As for what will happen next, let's just watch tomorrow's results and discuss it.
Zhu Qiyu turned around and went to the bedroom, there was still some time at this time, but he could go to sleep for a while, Jin Ying followed step by step.Shi Heng and Yi Ming were left behind and stepped back out of the Hall of Central Harmony.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Yiming straightened his hunched body, and then asked curiously, "Captain Shi, can you tell me about the change of defense in detail?"
"Hehe, it's natural." Shi Heng smiled. Once there are so many things involved in the defense change, it must be supported by the Ministry of War. Some things naturally need to be explained. "Actually, this is just a casual mention by the emperor. Presumably Yi Shangshu also knows that after the defeat of Oirat, some people's reputations are too prosperous. In addition, more than 7 officers and soldiers were rescued from the Oirat army. Most of these people They are all grateful for someone's great kindness in their hearts, for such an army, does Yi Shangshu think that the emperor really dare to use it with confidence?"
"Ah! That's why the emperor decided to switch defenses?" Yiming was so clever that he immediately thought of the key point of this matter.If once the defense is changed, the sergeants from other guards will come. They have not received the kindness of being loyal and courageous, so naturally they can use it with confidence.
"Yes, this time I would rather use money to change the defense of the army. Even before the conscription turmoil in the capital continued, the emperor also suppressed it vigorously. They are all people who are convinced by someone in their hearts, and these people staying in the capital is also a factor of instability, so I took this opportunity to get rid of it." Shi Heng smiled, so what if you, Yang Chendong, are powerful?After all, the general situation is in the hands of the emperor, no matter how many good things you do, you can buy people's hearts, but once everyone changes, your reputation will gradually fade away with time.
Finally understood what was going on, Yiming sighed and said, "Your majesty is so powerful, it can be said to be a drudgery. By the way, how is the matter in Heijing Street? I originally expected them to cause some trouble, but now I look at it." Come, it seems that we have nothing to rejoice."
"Let's do this, after all, we have nothing to lose, right?" This is Shi Heng's business. With this voice, the figures of the two gradually moved away, and finally disappeared in front of the imperial city
Time back to half an hour ago.
Heijing Street.
Hu Huaihai, the leader of the Blackwater Gang, sat in a room with a secret passage, listening to the information gathered by a famous subordinate, for example, the whole street has been surrounded by people sent by Dali Temple, for example There are still a large number of officers and soldiers coming here and so on.
For all this, the second master Wu Yong had already analyzed it, and Hu Huaihai naturally knew it well.It is precisely because of this that after hearing this, he was not in a hurry, but just nodded his head lightly to show that he understood, giving people a feeling that everything was within his design, and not only made his subordinates more convinced of him.
In fact, Hu Huaihai was also prepared.In the entire Heijing Street, there are at least five hundred people from the Blackwater Gang who have ambushed, plus some desperadoes who hid here to seek refuge and some notorious people from the rivers and lakes. Not those ordinary officers and soldiers can deal with it.
In addition to the favorable location, it will be even more difficult for the loyal and brave man to deal with him, and it is absolutely impossible to do it without paying a heavy price.Not to mention that no matter how critical the situation is, he can leave through the secret path, and then the second and third younger brothers will take action, so there is no danger.At this moment, he even saw the scene where Yang Chendong was killed.
It is because of these backhands and plans that Hu Huaihai at this moment naturally has a calm face and a face of confidence.
But all of this was changed by the roaring cannon that shook the earth.
As if there was no warning, at the moment when the villains in Heijing Street were ready for bloody battles at any time to make the officers and soldiers hit a wall, suddenly there was a roar of fire from the sky, followed by a huge explosion that could shatter the eardrums. The voice rang out.
When everyone didn't respond, was still in a daze, and was thinking about what was going on, one after another, powerful shells fell into Heijing Street, and fell beside those villains, and then There was a sudden sound, which turned into huge streams of air and flames that devoured them one by one.
The roaring cannon broke the cognition of these villains. When they thought that the Ming army would launch a charge, and they were waiting, the sound of the cannon falling from the sky and the moment it hit the ground could form a cannon with a radius of several feet. Mighty blows all their self-confidence and self-esteem invisible, hitting nothing, nothing.
Even Hu Huaihai, who was waiting quietly in the room, was frightened by the sound of the guns. After more than ten breaths, he woke up like a dream, and the first thing he did was to quickly go to the secret passageway. I was still thinking, "It's over, it's over, it's over."
Hu Huaihai's reaction was not slow, and his body quickly got into the secret passage, but in front of this kind of aimless, completely covered artillery, the so-called tunnel is not safe, because at this moment, a shell fell beside the small courtyard , a powerful earthquake rose up, causing a huge deep pit to appear in the ground. Under such power, the secret passage naturally collapsed. The boss of Wang Fa's Blackwater Gang was blocked in the secret passage like this, and then a lot of dust pressed on him. He shouted, shouted, and danced with his hands and feet, but none of this changed his being submerged. A sense of suffocation permeated his whole body, and at this moment, there was probably only one thought in his mind, and that was regret.If life could be repeated, he would definitely not choose to offend Duke Zhongdan.
The sound of the cannon sounded and spread far away, and the team of Lao San Qilu who was rushing towards Yangjiazhuang couldn't help but froze.
Looking back, based on my feeling, I can recognize that the sound of the gunfire should be in the direction of Heijing Street.He couldn't help frowning, but the straight-tempered Third Master Qi didn't intend to stop his actions. In his opinion, he lost face before and was hurt by a little servant. This revenge must be avenged, otherwise What is the face?How can he gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future?
It is precisely because of this worthless and intangible face that Qi Lu knows that things have changed, but he still has no intention of retreating. He took a full [-] brothers from the Black Water Gang and ran to the south of the capital city fifteen miles away. Yangjiazhuang.
Yangjiazhuang Outer Courtyard.
Battalion Commander Wu Sheng, who was ordered to wait here, saw bursts of huge flames coming from the direction of the capital, and bursts of cannons ringing in his ears, he said excitedly, "Master, we're doing something here. Next, it’s up to our brothers. Listen carefully, everyone, once an enemy appears, don’t hesitate to beat me until they don’t even know their parents.”
Chapter 3: Harvesting Tactics
"Yes." There was a uniform answer from the two Leng Feng teams of 60 people, followed by a light and crisp sound of pulling the bolt of the gun.
I don't know how many times I have trained in this kind of battle. Leng Feng has long been familiar with the road, and even the hand holding the gun does not tremble in the slightest. This is the benefit of the elite.
For a long time, Yang Chendong has followed the route of elite soldiers.After he went to the military supply department from the front line, he knew how much a huge army spent. It really surprised him at the time, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as astronomical figures.
It is precisely because he knows how much money is needed to provide an army to survive that he needs to train the most elite cold front.The number of people is expensive rather than large, in order to reduce financial losses while doing more things.Looking at it now, he was on the right track. At least the current Leng Feng are extremely elite. On the battlefield, when holding advanced thermal weapons, it is no problem to fight ten or even dozens of enemies with one enemy.
This is just the strength of one Leng Feng. If multiple Leng Fronts get together, they can often produce more eye-catching and even unbelievable results.
The cold fronts are ready and just waiting for the enemy to show up.And Qi Lu as an enemy really came.
Be careful along the way, for fear of making any bigger disturbances, Third Master Qi is full of confidence with a group of masters.Although there are not many people, only less than 200 people, but these are all coming out of the sea of swords and flames. To them, killing people is like a child's play. Once they are allowed to rush into Yangjiazhuang, one can imagine what it will be like there A picture of hell on earth.
He has long heard that Mr. Zhongdan has four beauties. At this moment, Qi Lu just feels restless all over his body. He has even made up his mind to keep one for himself, give the second brother one, and give the remaining two to the eldest brother. It is enough to prove his filial piety.
With such a beautiful but impossible wish, a group of people came to the open land outside Yangjiazhuang.
