Chongzhen Ming Dynasty: Beginning from Meishan Chapter 474 Benefit and Power
"Good news." Chongzhen raised the Zhongtang newspaper and said, "Dagukou is guarded."
"Is Dagukou secured?" Du Yinxi, Hu Guozhu, Chen Zilong and others were also overjoyed.
"Hu Guozhu, take a look." Chongzhen handed the Tang Bao to Hu Guozhu again, "Yan Yingyuan's performance at Dagukou was not much worse than that of your cavalry battalion, and he also fought extremely well."
Chongzhen wanted to use Yan Yingyuan to defeat Hu Guozhu.
Ever since Hu Guozhu won a beautiful victory in Guting Town, he has become a little restless, and his words often reveal that I am the first god of war in the Ming Dynasty.
Even the reward given by Chongzhen was not very satisfactory.
Soon after the battle, Chongzhen rewarded Hu Guozhu by edicting him to be a loyal and brave man. After marrying a wife and having children, one of his children could be admitted to the Imperial Academy for further study without taking the examination.
To be honest, this reward is actually pretty good.
After all, the main credit for the battle in Guting Town cannot be attributed to Hu Guozhu.
Because no matter who takes command, the cavalry battalion can easily withstand the siege of Jiannu.
The battle in Guting Town was mainly won by the hollow square formation, not by Hu Guozhu.
But Hu Guozhu didn't think so. This guy took the main credit on himself.
Once, when he was drunk, the boy threatened that he could be made a marquis based on his victory in Guting Town.
This made Chongzhen couldn't help but think of Lan Yu, the great general in the Hongwu period. Hu Guozhu's ability may not be 20 to 30% of Lan Yu's, but his arrogance is even worse.
To be honest, Chongzhen didn't like timid generals either.
How can a general win a battle if he has no self-confidence?
But if self-confidence turns into arrogance, it will be very troublesome, and it may cause a serious setback at a critical moment, just like Ma Su who lost the street pavilion and led to the failure of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.
Therefore, Chongzhen wanted to reduce Hu Guozhu's majesty.
"Yan Geijian did a good job at Dagukou."
After reading the Tang newspaper, Hu Guozhu said in a neutral tone.
It can be seen that Hu Guozhu is still very unconvinced in his heart.
Hu Guozhu felt that Yan Yingyuan did a good job at Dagukou, but the performance of his cavalry battalion was not at the same level. Their cavalry battalion defeated Eight Banners Manchuria and Eight Banners Mongolia, and the Eight Banners Manchuria and Eight Banners Mongolia were six times their strength.
In the end, it caused huge damage to the Jiannu slaves.
Yan Yingyuan fought against the Green Camp at Dagukou, how could he compare with him?
Chongzhen frowned and said again: "Hu Guozhu, do you think Yan Yingyuan's performance in Dagukou cannot be compared with the performance of the cavalry battalion in Guting Town?"
"I don't dare." Hu Guozhu said with his head lowered.
"Don't dare? It seems that you are really unconvinced." Chongzhen's face fell, "If I tell you, the battle of Guting Town will have the same result no matter which infantry battalion of the New Army fights. However,
At Dagukou, it would be impossible for any other infantry battalion or your cavalry battalion to achieve this result. You must not be convinced, right?"
This time Hu Guozhu simply stopped saying anything, obviously he was really unconvinced.
Chongzhen was not stupid enough to try to persuade Hu Guozhu, and should never try to persuade others.
However, Hu Guozhu was also entered into another book. It seems that this kid still needs to continue to polish.
At that moment, Chongzhen said to Hu Guozhu: "Hu Guozhu, in the future you will know that I did not lie to you."
After a pause, Chongzhen turned to Du Yinxi and said: "Qing Du, I originally wanted to go back to Xuzhou with you. I had to drink this celebration drink before returning to Nanjing anyway, but now I can't."
"Although Dagukou has been defended, Jiannu will definitely not give up in the future."
"If nothing else goes wrong, Jiannu will definitely launch an attack on Dagukou after winter this year, and this time there is a high probability that Jiannu will adopt the tactics of a land attack."
"So I have to go back to Nanjing quickly to make preparations."
Chongzhen was in a hurry to return to Nanjing to develop cement.
Jianu will definitely not attack Dagukou again before winter this year.
But when winter comes, the North Sea is completely frozen, and the navy is forced to withdraw from the north, Jiannu will definitely launch another attack on Dagukou, and there is a high probability that he will dig tunnels and blast them.
Under the premise that a strong attack has no effect, blasting is the best way to attack the enemy.
At that time, we can only rely on cement to pour the tunnel and block Jiannu's blasting tactics.
The principle of firing cement is actually very simple. It is to first grind limestone into powder, then mix it with clay, put it into a large iron tank and calcine it at high temperature, and what comes out is cement.
But to what specific degree does a large iron can need to be calcined?
And what is the ratio of limestone to clay ingredients?
Besides limestone and clay, are there any other ingredients added?
Chongzhen didn't know anything about these, so this required constant trial and error and time. Therefore, Chongzhen didn't want to delay even one day and wanted to rush back to Nanjing as soon as possible.
Chongzhen had to do this himself, because the Ming Dynasty did not have the talents suitable to take charge of this work.
The thirty-six young Western scholars who had just been abducted through Bu Mige would not be able to rely on them for at least a year because of language barriers, so Chongzhen could only take charge of it himself.

See if we can get a rifled rifle and a steam engine.
As for Sichuan, Chongzhen didn't plan to go. Firstly, it was too far. Secondly, it was not the main direction of the war. Thirdly, Qin Liangyu was more reassuring. It should be more than enough to deal with the warlords and Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan.
As for Li Zicheng, although Li Zicheng has personally led the army to Hanzhong, according to Chongzhen's estimation, it is difficult for Li Zicheng to defeat Zhang Xianzhong and then advance into Sichuan. The two sides will at most end up in a stalemate, and then let Qin Liangyu take a big advantage.
As for whether Zhang Xianzhong would join forces with Li Zicheng, Chongzhen felt that he definitely would not. Ever since the two became emperors one after another, they had become mortal enemies and could no longer cooperate as before.
Taking a step back, even if Qin Liangyu loses in the end and loses Sichuan, it won't be a big deal.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If you are still in the stage of agricultural civilization, it will be very difficult to break into terrain like Sichuan, but as long as the Ming Dynasty enters the stage of industrial civilization, Sichuan
The terrain is no longer a big problem.
Because the human, material and financial resources of industrial civilization are completely two orders of magnitude higher than those of agricultural civilization, they are crushing. Agricultural civilization has almost no resistance to industrial civilization.
Therefore, it is more important to click on the technology tree.
"The cavalry battalion is temporarily stationed in Zhentai, Xuzhou, to guard against the return of Jiannu."
After saying this for a while, Chongzhen said to Hu Guozhu: "Hu Guozhu, come with me back to Nanjing."
"Ah?" Hu Guozhu was caught off guard and asked in astonishment, "Your Majesty, who will command the cavalry battalion?"
"This is not something you should be concerned about." Chongzhen said coldly, "Don't think that the cavalry battalion can't survive without you. The world will continue to function as usual without anyone, do you understand?"
Hu Guozhu was dumbfounded and looked at Chongzhen blankly.
Du Yinxi looked at Hu Guozhu with a trace of regret in his eyes.
Hu Guozhu is undoubtedly a good young talent, but it is a pity that he does not know how to restrain himself.
Gao Qiqian had a look of disdain on his face and thought to himself, who is Lord Long Live? He is a enlightened person, a god-like person. If you, Hu Guozhu, dare to show off in front of Lord Long Live, aren't you seeking death?
In other words, Long Live the Lord has a big belly and doesn’t care about you.
After leaving Xuzhou, Chongzhen meandered south with eight hundred Yiding.
Taking advantage of Hu Guozhu's absence, Chongzhen said to Zhu Cijiong: "Jiong'er, you must remember that you should not blindly suppress your ministers and common people, nor blindly seek favors."

"Of course, the details will vary from person to person."
"Arrogant and domineering people like Hu Guozhu must be resolutely suppressed."
"But if you are loyal ministers and good generals like Du Yinxi and Qin Liangyu, you need to give them enough trust and don't tie your hands and feet just because of routine."
Zhu Cijiong thought thoughtfully: "What aspects is your father referring to?"
"For example, if it is a powerful general like Lan Yu, the saying "the master of shock is high" is true, but if it is a loyal general like Xu Da or Qin Liangyu, there is no such thing as "the master of shock".
Say, no matter how much authority you give them, they will abide by their duties as ministers."
…
Qin Liangyu has successfully captured Naxi.
Wang Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Zunyi, was captured alive before he could escape.
Wang Xiang was tied up with five flowers and escorted into the lobby of the state government office.
Seeing Qin Liangyu sitting high on the throne, Wang Xiang screamed in dismay.
"Marquis Zhongzhen, this is all a misunderstanding. This is all a misunderstanding. You and I are both military ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and our leaders are all officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Why are we killing each other? Why are we killing each other?"
"Misunderstanding? You captured Naxi with the intention of blocking my army's food route. Is this also a misunderstanding?"
"Why did Marquis Zhongzhen say this? Did the general ever think of cutting off the food route for the imperial army? Xianguan actually heard about Zeng Ying's rebellion and intended to block the food route for the imperial army, so he traveled across mountains and rivers to send troops from Zunyi to help, but unexpectedly they arrived at Naxi.
Being besieged by the imperial army, the general can't help but be captured. How can the general be so innocent?"
"Oh, so General Wang is here to help out?"
"Of course, the general is here to help suppress the bandits."
"Silence, thief, do you really think that I know nothing?"
With a cold snort, Qin Liangyu said again: "Your correspondence with Wu Dading, Yuan Tao, Zeng Ying, Tang Xun, etc. has long fallen into my hands, and now you dare to deny it and bully your old age? Who is here?
, push it out and chop it."
When two white soldiers walked into the lobby with murderous intent, they escorted Wang Xiang and walked out.
Wang Xiang suddenly became anxious and roared: "Qin Liangyu, although you are the admiral, I am also the commander-in-chief of the town. You have no right to kill me. What you did is Tan Quan! You Tan Quan!"
However, Qin Liangyu ignored him.
After a while, Wang Xiang's head was presented.
Looking at Wang Xiang's head, Li Xiangjun asked: "Master, since this Wang Xiang is the commander-in-chief of Zunyi, it might be useful to leave him alive, at least to recruit him to surrender to Zunyi Mansion."
"Girl, you don't understand this." Qin Liangyu shook his head.
