After the Ming Dynasty army commanded by Zhu Zhanyao crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi, they fought with the Qing Dynasty army commanded by Chu Mingkai. Naturally, Jia Yun and the Qing Dynasty court were very concerned about this battle, and many messengers came and went. Shanxi and Shenjing, the battle situation in Shanxi will be sent to Shenjing quickly.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. During these ten days, the Qing Dynasty's war situation was terrible. More than 30,000 officers and soldiers were injured and killed. The Ming Dynasty army did not capture the city and kept traveling through Shanxi. Jia Yun had already seen through the Ming Dynasty's strategy. That is to quickly go straight to Shenjing!
Fortunately, the war situation in the Ming Dynasty was not very good, and many troops were injured and killed. It has become difficult to go straight to Shenjing.
The time came on June 12th. At noon that day, Jia Yun was busy in Qianqing Palace, busy discussing the war with Ji Cunxiao, Cao Wei, and Lian Liang.
Ji Cunxiao was the head of the cabinet ministers, Cao Wei was a military general, and Lian Liang was the Minister of War. In addition, Jia Yun trusted these three people. Regarding the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Jia Yun mainly discussed with these three people, so that these three people The three of us have worked hard, and we will continue to work hard in the future.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, based on the current war situation, I am afraid that the rebels will invade Zhili territory before long. Although the Emperor has transferred Wei Kun, the commander-in-chief of Zhili, to guard the boundary between Zhili and Shanxi, Wei Kun's military strength is still limited There are only 30,000, and I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the rebels. I propose that the Shenjing Firearms Army go into battle. With the two advanced firearms, bayonet flintlocks and grenades, which were developed by the emperor himself, they will surely be able to wipe out the rebels!"
Ji Cunxiao suggested with uncontrollable excitement.
Wei Kun, the governor of Zhili, was originally stationed in Shanhaiguan City, but now he was transferred to the border between Zhili and Shanxi by Jia Yun, and he was ordered to command 30,000 Zhili officers and soldiers to intercept the Ming army.
When Jia Yun raised troops to seize the throne, he sent documents to Wei Kun, asking Wei Kun not to mobilize his troops to leave Shanhaiguan City, and at the same time released the Inner Mongolia Battalion and the Outer Firearms Battalion. However, the Inner Mongolia Camp and the Outer Firearms Battalion had not yet arrived at Shanhaiguan City, so Jia Yun He had succeeded in seizing the throne, so that Jia Yun failed to verify Wei Kun's loyalty to him.
Even so, in Jia Yun's heart, Wei Kun is still reliable, and he is a versatile and resourceful general. Therefore, Jia Yun transferred Wei Kun to the border between Zhili and Shanxi this time.
The previous governor of Zhili was Dai Zhaoxiong, and Jia Yun had very little contact with this person. Obviously, if this person could become the governor of Zhili, he must be a close official of Emperor Tianzhi.
After Jia Yun ascended the throne, he transferred Dai Zhaoxiong to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Firstly, Dai Zhaoxiong was in charge of Zhili, and Jia Yun was worried. Secondly, Jia Yun was temporarily short of a Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so he would use Dai Zhaoxiong first. If the appointment did not go well, he would Just change it later.
There is currently no governor-general in Zhili.
Ji Cunxiao, Cao Wei, and Lian Liang had long known that Jia Yun was preparing to send the Shenjing Firearms Army to the expedition. They even knew that the Neihuang Firearms Factory headed by Xin Yong had been busy manufacturing bayonet flintlocks and grenades during this period.
Just this morning, under Jia Yun's arrangement, the three of them went to the Shenjing Firearms Camp to check it out. They were all surprised by the bayonet flintlocks and grenades, and they also had strong surprises. They all thought that these two items were advanced. The weapon would become a major weapon for the Qing Dynasty's army.
At this moment, following Ji Cunxiao's suggestion, Cao Wei and Lian Liang agreed one after another, saying that the Shenjing Firearms Army should be allowed to go into battle.
Jia Yun paused and said: "Forget it, let the Shenjing Firearms Army go out to fight the day after tomorrow!"
In fact, even if Ji Cunxiao, Cao Wei, and Lian Liang do not propose this, Jia Yun is already preparing to send the Shenjing Firearms Army to the expedition.
Ji Cunxiao, Cao Wei, and Lian Liang were all happy when they heard this, and then they all said some words of praise for Jia Yun, praising Jia Yun for developing bayonet flintlock guns and grenades...
"Stop saying such nice things. The war is very tense right now. Even if the Shenjing Firearms Army goes out, the rebels may still attack Shenjing City. You have worked hard these days. I hope you can continue to work hard in the coming days.
You and I are busy fighting together," Jia Yun said.
Ji Cunxiao, Cao Wei, and Lian Liang all said so, but they all disagreed in their hearts. They all believed that when the Shenjing Firearms Army marched with bayonets, flintlocks, and grenades, the Ming army would no longer be able to attack Shenjing City and suppress the rebellion.
The Ming Dynasty is just around the corner.
…
…
Since Xin Yong brought all the craftsmen, equipment, and materials from the Chang'an Firearms Factory to Beijing more than a month ago, Jia Yun has asked Xin Yong to make bayonet flintlocks and grenades.
Jia Yun also transferred another 200 firearms craftsmen from the outer firearms factory to the inner firearms factory.
This means that the number of firearms craftsmen in the Inner Firearms Factory has reached more than a thousand, including craftsmen from the original Chang'an Firearms Factory, former inner Firearms Factory craftsmen, and 200 craftsmen from the Outer Firearms Factory.
Jia Yun also mobilized a lot of equipment and materials to the internal firearms factory.
For more than a month, more than a thousand craftsmen in the Nei Firearms Factory have been making firearms almost all the time except eating and sleeping. But almost all of them are willing and almost all of them are motivated because Jia Yun gives them good treatment.
In addition to money, ten outstanding craftsmen will also be selected for official status.
Because of this, in just over a month, the Nei Firearms Factory quickly produced 500 bayonet flintlock rifles and tens of thousands of hand grenades.
Don't underestimate these 500 bayonet flintlock guns and tens of thousands of hand grenades. These things are used to deal with the Ming rebels. Without a big accident, they can cause heavy casualties and heavy casualties to the Ming rebels.
A terrifying deterrent.
The morale of the Ming army was unstable. Once it suffered heavy casualties and was frightened by terror, it would be easily wiped out, and the Ming army would be easily suppressed.
The reason why Jia Yun did not send out the Shenjing Firearms Army until now was that he was waiting for more bayonet flintlocks and grenades to be produced, and he wanted to train as quickly as possible.
For more than a month, the officers and soldiers of the former Firearms Battalion have been training in the use of bayonet flintlocks and grenades. After all, these two are advanced firearms, and it is impossible not to train them.
The Outer Firearms Battalion had only been in Beijing for half a month. Although it merged with the Inner Firearms Battalion to form the Shenjing Firearms Corps after entering Beijing, the bayonets, flintlocks, and grenades were all used by the former officers and soldiers of the Inner Firearms Battalion.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If the Ming army commanded by Jing Zhanyao had not wanted to attack Shenjing with great momentum, Jia Yun would have continued to postpone the Shenjing firearms army's expedition.
Fortunately, we now have 500 bayonets, flintlock muskets and tens of thousands of grenades, which is already good.
What's more, after the Shenkyo Firearms Army goes on an expedition, the internal firearms factory will continue to manufacture bayonet flintlocks and grenades to supply the needs of the front line.
As for the Qing Dynasty in the north, Jia Yun will not use bayonets, flintlocks, and grenades to deal with it for the time being. As long as the Qing Dynasty suppresses the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, which is besieged in Shengjing City, will not be able to make a big wave. At most, it can only retreat to Changbai Mountain. , and once the Qing State retreated to Changbai Mountain, it meant that the Qing State had suppressed the rebellion. After all, even the capital of the country, Shengjing, was lost and retreated to the deep mountains and old forests.
…
…
On the afternoon of June 12th, three military attaches walked into the Ming Room of Qianqing Palace together. Jia Yun specially prepared a rich dinner, including good wine.
These three military attaches are Tang Anping, Tang Daqian, and Mu Fu!
Jia Yun naturally trusts Tang Daqian, and the relationship between the two needs no further elaboration. However, this time the Shenjing Firearms Army is fighting against the Ming army commanded by Zhu Zhanyao, and Zhu Zhanyao is Tang Daqian's teacher. The relationship between the two is a teacher-student relationship. It is comparable to the teacher-student relationship between Zhu Zhanyao and Jia Yun.
If Tang Daqian leads the Shenjing Firearms Army to conquer the Ming Dynasty, it may hinder the war. Tang Daqian may even rebel. Once Tang Daqian rebels, the consequences will be disastrous. If it is serious, the Qing Dynasty will really fall, and Jia Yun and his family will be destroyed. .
Jia Yun really didn't want to take this kind of risk, so a few days ago Jia Yun specifically asked Tang Anping and Tang Daqian to change their official positions. Tang Anping was transferred from the commander of the Imperial Guard to the commander of the Shenjing Firearms Army, and Tang Daqian was transferred from the commander of the Shenjing Firearms Army. The military commander was transferred to the command of the Imperial Guard.
Tang Anping had been the wing commander of the Foreign Firearms Battalion for many years, and was very suitable to serve as the commander of the Shenjing Firearms Army. However, this transfer was only temporary. After the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty was suppressed, the official positions of the father and son should be switched again.
And Jia Yun knew that Tang Anping and Zhu Zhanyao also had some friendship, otherwise Tang Anping would not have sent his eldest son to Jing's martial arts school.
Although it was just a little friendship, not a deep one, and she was not afraid of ten thousand, she was just afraid of the worst, this time Jia Yun specially appointed a supervisor of the Shenjing Firearms Army, and this person was Mu Fu.
The Shenjing Firearms Army Supervisor has no rank and no command authority over the Shenjing Firearms Army, but he can supervise Tang Anping and the Shenjing Firearms Army!
Since the establishment of Jinyi Mansion, Mu Fu has been serving as the governor of Nanzhen in Jinyi Mansion. He has been responsible for the internal supervision of Jinyi Mansion and has rich experience in this field.
This incident will naturally make Tang Anping depressed, and it will also make Tang Daqian depressed, so this afternoon, Jia Yun specially invited Tang Anping, Tang Daqian, and Mu Fu to have dinner together.
The emperor rarely sat at the same table with his ministers to eat and drink, and today was no exception.
Jia Yun sat under the plaque of "Upright and Bright", with a table of rich food and wine in front of her. There were three tables below, all of which were also decorated with rich food and wine. Tang Anping, Tang Daqian and Mu Fu each sat at one table.
At this moment, Jia Yun looked at the three people below and said seriously: "The three of them have a close relationship with me. Commander Tang Anping was my uncle before, Daqian was my good friend and brother before, and Mu Fu was my brother before." My closest subordinates are also my good friends, and the three of you also know that I don’t like drinking and rarely drink.”
"Some time ago, I stopped drinking because of the wake for the two late emperors. Since the wake, I have only had it twice. Once with several cabinet ministers, and once with my mother and concubine. Food, and today I specially invite the three of you to come over and have wine and food together!"
After saying these words seriously, Tang Anping, Tang Daqian and Mu Fu all felt flattered.
Tang Anping hurriedly said respectfully: "This time I was summoned by the emperor to come to Qianqing Palace for dinner. I was already flattered. Now that the emperor has said these words again, I really can't bear it."
Tang Daqian and Mu Fu followed suit one after another.
The most honored person this time is Mu Fu. In terms of official positions, Tang Anping and Tang Daqian were both senior generals from the first rank, while Mu Fu was only a military attaché from the Jinyi Mansion from the third rank. Today Jia Yun appointed Mu Fu as the supervisor of the Shenjing Firearms Army. Jun also showed his trust and respect for Mu Fu.
Jia Yun raised her glass to Tang Anping: "Commander Tang, I would like to toast you to this first glass of wine today!"
Tang Anping was flattered again, and he stood up in a hurry and picked up the wine glass. After Jia Yun drank the wine in the glass first, Tang Anping drank his own glass of wine.
Jia Yun said to Tang Anping: "Commander Tang, I feel very kind to you and trust you very much. Otherwise, I would not have let you serve as the commander of the Imperial Guard before, and I knew that you had a relationship with Jing Zhanyao." Under such circumstances, I will let you command the Shenjing Firearms Army to go on an expedition this time."
"It's just that you know the Shenjing Firearms Army, how important this army is to me and the Qing Dynasty, and how powerful the bayonet flintlock guns and grenades I developed are, and the current Western rebels are very powerful. He is also very arrogant and actually plans to attack Shenjing City directly."
"The Shenjing Firearms Army cannot rebel, but should go all out to exterminate the rebels! Therefore, although I trust Commander Tang very much, I am really nervous and cautious about this matter. In order to make myself feel more at ease, I specially appointed him this time. Mu Tongzhi is the supervisor of the army, and I hope Commander Tang will understand."
Tang Anping hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The emperor's words are really unbearable for Wei Chen. Wei Chen will never dare to complain about supervising the army. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Wei Chen will go all out for this expedition. The Emperor is loyal and works hard to destroy the rebels!"
Jia Yun smiled slightly: "I believe you, please sit down."
After Tang Anping sat down, Jia Yun raised her wine glass to Tang Daqian: "Daqian, I toast you for this second glass of wine today!"
Tang Daqian also stood up respectfully and picked up his wine glass. Jia Yun drank first, then him.
Jia Yun said to Tang Daqian: "Daqian, my friendship with you goes without saying, nor does my trust in you. However, your relationship with Jing Zhanyao is really very close, and I have also considered it. If you are asked to command the Shenjing Firearms Army to fight against the rebels commanded by Jing Zhanyao, you will be troubled, so I have only given this responsibility to your father this time, and I hope you understand."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tang Daqian also knelt on the ground: "Wei Chen understands the emperor's good intentions, please rest assured, Wei Chen will never dare to complain, Wei Chen I only hope that Weichen’s father will lead the Shenjing Firearms Army on this expedition, and be invincible, and that he will be invincible, and that he will wipe out the rebels and regain the lost territory for the Emperor and the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible!"
Jia Yun smiled slightly again: "I believe you too, please sit down too."
After Tang Daqian sat down, Jia Yun raised her wine glass to Mu Fu again: "Mu Fu, this is your third glass of wine today, I respect you!"
Mu Fu naturally stood up and picked up the wine glass respectfully.
The two of them finished drinking, and Jia Yun said to Mu Fu: "Mu Fu, you have to remember that this time you are accompanying the Shenjing Firearms Army as a supervisor. You only have the power of supervision and not the right to command operations. If you, the supervisor,
The army has had a bad impact on the operations of the Shenjing Firearms Army, and I will not spare you."
Mu Fu knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely bear in mind your Majesty's words and will fulfill my duties to the best of my ability."
Jia Yun nodded and asked Mu Fu to sit down.
In fact, Jia Yun's attitude towards Mu Fu this time was deliberately shown to Tang Anping and Tang Daqian. Jia Yun had previously summoned Mu Fu alone and explained it to Mu Fu in detail.
I have to say that although Jia Yun is a very strong person, he also has a humble and friendly side.
Now as the emperor, he took the initiative to toast to Tang Anping, Tang Daqian, and Mu Fu respectively. This was really humility and kindness. In Jia Yun's view, this kind of humility and kindness was necessary and could be strengthened.
The three people's loyalty to him and the Shenjing Firearms Army are really important!
At this time, Jia Yun raised the wine glass again and said loudly to the three of them: "Today, I will drink the fourth glass of wine with the three of you. I wish the Shenjing Firearms Army a victory in this battle and wish me a happy celebration."
The DPRK successfully quelled the rebellion!"
Tang Anping, Tang Daqian, and Mu Fu stood up at the same time, picked up their wine glasses, and said loudly in unison: "I wish the Shenjing Firearms Army success in consecutive battles, and I wish Qing Dynasty a smooth suppression of the rebellion!"
…
…
When the inner firearms battalion and the outer firearms battalion were merged into the Shenjing Firearms Army, Jia Yun also transferred 2,000 officers and soldiers from the Imperial Guard to the Shenjing Firearms Army, bringing the number of officers and soldiers of the Shenjing Firearms Army to 12,000
.
There are only 2,000 people stationed in the inner firearms factory, whose main tasks are to guard the inner firearms factory and transport firearms. There are also 10,000 people stationed in the original outer firearms camp. This camp has been renamed the Shenjing Firearms Camp and will be expanded.
A total of 8,000 Shenjing firearms officers and soldiers went on the expedition this time, leaving 4,000 people responsible for guarding the inner firearms factory, guarding the outer firearms factory, guarding the Shenjing firearms camp, and also responsible for transporting firearms to the front line in the future.
On June 14th, the weather in Shenjing City was sunny and it was a hot summer day.
Tang Anping and Mu Fu delivered pre-war mobilization speeches to the eight thousand officers and soldiers of the Shenjing Firearms Battalion in the Shenjing Firearms Camp. In the morning, Tang Anping led his troops to pour out of the camp and rushed to Shanxi and
At the dividing line between Zhili and Zhili, Mu Fu led hundreds of people in brocade clothes to follow.
The eight thousand officers and soldiers of the Shenjing Firearms Battalion are not a lot in terms of strength. After all, the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty was huge, involving a total of three to four hundred thousand troops from both sides.
However, the combat power of these eight thousand Shenjing firearms officers and soldiers is by no means comparable to that of other armies. It can even be said that they are not on the same level. This Shenjing firearms army carries a large number of firearms, especially five hundred bayonets and flintlocks.
and tens of thousands of grenades.
Along the way, messengers would continue to inform Tang Anping and Mu Fu about the battle situation on the front line and the movements of the rebels, so that the Shenjing Firearms Army could confront the rebels.
That morning, when Jia Yun learned that the Shenjing Firearms Army had set off for the expedition, he wrote a piece of calligraphy in the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, which was a poem by Li Bai:
The roc rises with the wind in one day and soars up to 90,000 miles.
If the wind stops and comes down, it can still blow away the water.
When people in the world see my extraordinary temperament, they all sneer when they hear my eloquent words.
Xuan's father is still afraid of future generations, but his husband cannot be young.
Now that I have become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I am like a great roc that can soar up to 90,000 miles. Even if the wind stops, my strength can dry up the water of the sea!
Although I am very strong and even seem conceited at times, that is because I am capable and confident!
Although I am very young, Confucius said that the afterlife is to be feared. Nestorian leader, Nestorian leader, although I was once your student, although you are very powerful, but you want to pull me down from the throne and destroy the Qing Dynasty, that's terrible It’s just wishful thinking!
Next, the Shenjing Firearms Army will let you see what dimensionality reduction strikes are!
