When a crisis arose between the emperor and his ministers in the Manchu court, Hauge also led five thousand soldiers and horses to rush to Jinzhou.
At this time, the school ground in Jinzhou was very lively. The newly arrived Liaodong Supervisor Mr. Li was handing out armors and weapons to the soldiers on the school ground. Countless former Liaodong soldiers were lining up and looking eagerly at the hill piled up in the center of the school ground.
The weapons and armor are drooling.
"Wang Erniu"
"arrive!"
"Zhou Dashun"
"arrive"
A soldier whose name was called stepped forward and received from the hands of the quartermaster the armor, helmet, black battle coat, leather boots, waist knife, spear, towel, iron kettle and other complete sets that they had long wanted to wear.
Zu Dale led a group of generals to stand on the viewing platform and looked at the gleaming armor below. The smile on his face never broke.
Smiling from ear to ear, he said to Zu Dachou beside him: "Second brother, the armor issued by the imperial court is really strong. I asked the craftsmen to estimate it. Each pair of armor weighs forty kilograms. The cost is tight.
Thirty taels of silver, don’t even think about it if you don’t have 60 taels of silver for the complete set, this time the court has spent a lot of money.”
Zu Dachou was still not satisfied. He stretched out his hand and scratched his hair randomly and said: "Humph, but there is one thing they didn't send out. It shows that the court is still on guard against us."
"Second brother should be talking about fire blunderbuss, right?" Zu Dale sighed: "Inspector Li also told us about this. He said it was because of these fire blunderbuss... Well,
No, according to the court’s call, they should be called rifles. The production cost of these rifles is high and the output is not high, so we can only endure it and wait until next year to ship them."
Zu Dachou snorted and fell silent. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid. If the court did not immediately equip them with new rifles, it would be to guard against them. However, it would be fine if they knew about this kind of thing.
It would be boring to come out.
On the viewing platform of the school ground, Li Yan, who was surrounded by a group of generals, squinted his eyes as a soldier with a happy name stepped forward to receive armor, clothing, weapons and other items. A mysterious smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that Li Yan was in a good mood, Li Yuan stepped forward and asked: "Superintendent, since we have distributed armors, clothing and other items to the Liaodong Army, why don't we also distribute the rifles? Does the Emperor have any intention to the Liaodong Army?"
Is the general still worried? But the general remembers that the emperor has even sold thousands of rifles to the Korean countries, so why can't the Liaodong garrison be able to issue them?"
Li Yan smiled slightly, and he had always maintained some respect for the army commander who had been following the emperor since the earliest days. He shook his head and said: "General Li, you can think that this officer is very pleased, but in fact it is not the case. We
The rifles were sold to North Korea because North Korea bought them with nothing but grain and real gold and silver, and there was no need to worry about them attacking us with rifles. But what about the Liaodong armies? Did they buy them with silver?"
"This...but they are now our Dahua people!" Li Yuan was even more puzzled now.
"You... Li Yan sighed helplessly and explained in detail: "The reason why the emperor can sell rifles to North Korea is because the barrels of these rifles will be scrapped after only a few hundred rounds of bullets, and they have to
They have to buy from us again, and whether it is guns or gunpowder, they have to buy it from Dahua. This is a long-term business, and naturally we cannot let go of such a good thing.
But the Liaodong armies are different. Although they have surrendered to His Majesty, their loyalty is worthy of scrutiny. Moreover, His Majesty has a saying that people will not cherish things that are too easy to obtain. But the armies of the Nine Borders are
There are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and if they are all equipped with such sharp rifles, before we have complete control of the nine-sided armies, once someone has evil intentions, it will pose a great threat to us, do you understand?"
After hearing Li Yan's explanation, Li Yuan suddenly realized, "Oh... I see, I understand. Your Majesty is going to put Wu Xiang, Zu Dashou and the others out to dry. Let them suffer."
Edge and angle. Let the soldiers of Liaodong know and accept our Dahua from the heart, and then they will issue rifles, right?"
"Well... a kid can be taught!"
Li Yan smiled and nodded. Although what Li Yuan said is not entirely true, it is still close to ten. Now Pang Gang's attitude towards Liaodong is like a hunter boiling an eagle. He must first polish off the wildness of Liaodong generals and sharpen them.
To temper their temper and slowly seize their financial rights over the army. As long as they control the logistics of this army, they will be powerless even if they want to do other things.
Judging from the current situation, Li Yan has done a good job. After a large number of military pay, food, and armors were distributed, most of the middle and lower-level officers in the army have already developed a certain sense of identification with the Dahua court. If it continues
In some time, he will probably be able to control most of the Liaodong soldiers and generals.
Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh. It would be great if he could give himself some more time to fully control the Liaodong garrison before attacking Shengjing! But Li Yan also knew that was impossible. Now Dahua
At Chuli, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Lingnan, Sichuan and many other places have not yet been pacified. It is impossible for the emperor to have so much time to slowly deal with the Liaodong generals. Since time waits for no one, he can only use the simplest method.
And the direct method.
But Li Yan didn't expect that just when he was planning to march to Shengjing, a troop of troops coming from the direction of Shengjing had quietly approached Jinzhou... less than two hundred miles away from Jinzhou.
There is a small mountain range, which people call Lushan. Lushan covers an area of about fifty miles and is surrounded by woods. Due to the frequent confrontations between the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the past few years, this place has become inaccessible, so
There are many wild animals here and the jungle is dense.
It was getting close to dusk, and a Qing army came from the north. This Qing army was all cavalry. The armors on each knight were all painted blue, with thick bronze iron nails exposed on the outside, and there were also iron nails on the inside.
The thick cotton armor is padded and covered with iron armor, which makes the knight on the horse even more burly and tall. Even an inexperienced person can see that this well-equipped cavalry must be an elite force.
Hauge is in this team. At this time, Hauge is also wearing a blue armor, with thick iron armor on the outside and several layers of fine silk on the inside. Whether it is armor or silk, it has good defense.
Sex, this armor is extremely luxurious.
Hauge was riding on a good yellow horse. When he saw that it was getting late, he turned around and said to the general behind him: "Come here, tell me, my general, that it is already getting late. The whole army should dismount and set up camp."
"twitter!"
Someone immediately responded and left. Soon, the whole army dismounted, unsaddled the horses, and started feeding the horses, carrying water, and collecting firewood. Everything was so orderly.
After a while, Fan Wencheng, who came with the army, dared to come. He panted and said to Hauge: "Prince Su, I am late, I hope you will forgive me."
"Haha... Seeing Fan Wencheng out of breath, Hauge and the generals around him burst into laughter. Hauge pointed his riding crop at Fan Wencheng and said with a smile: "Scholar Fan, I have already said that you
Just stay in Shengjing and be your bachelor, why bother following this king to endure this hardship? War is not as fun as what you Han people say in your books, it will kill people."
He had been out for several days. Due to Fan Wencheng's poor physical condition, he always lagged behind during the march. If it were not for the care of a few sergeants, he would have been thrown somewhere long ago. Therefore, Fan Wencheng was also treated badly.
Make fun of.
Hearing Hauge's contemptuous laughter, Fan Wencheng still said stubbornly: "I understand Prince Su's good intentions. Since I have been entrusted by the emperor, I naturally have to complete the errands assigned by the emperor. Otherwise, I will die without the shame to see my master.
"
Seeing Fan Wencheng's loyal look, the generals were embarrassed to say anything. Only Hauge muttered angrily: "Huh, my father hasn't agreed to accept you as a slave yet. Don't be a slave."
He calls himself non-stop.”
Fan Wencheng said firmly: "No matter whether the emperor agrees or not, from the day he stepped into Liaodong more than ten years ago, the slave has been the emperor's servant."
Well, after hearing what Fan Wencheng said, Hauge was speechless. Although he hated Fan Wencheng, he always felt that it was because of his confusion that his father trusted the Han people so much and read many Han people's books. But
He had never doubted Fan Wencheng's loyalty to his father and the Qing Dynasty.
Hauge stopped talking, but Fan Wencheng started to chatter again, "Prince Su, please forgive me for talking too much. This place is already close to Jinzhou. Starting from tomorrow, we should send more scouts to extend the search distance."
Fifty miles, so that even if we encounter a large group of Han soldiers and horses, we can arrange it calmly."
"You old man, you are really long-winded."
Hauge was a little speechless. Fan Wencheng kept nagging him all the way here, which almost made his ears scratchy, but he was always angry with the old man.
In desperation, Hauge had no choice but to say to the generals around him: "Did you all hear that? Tomorrow we will send out more detection posts fifty miles!"
"twitter!"
Just when Hauge and the others were burying pots to make rice, next to an inconspicuous hill less than two miles away from the Qing army, a brass-colored telescope was pointing at them, and a pair of eyes
Just behind the telescope, I carefully observed this army.
A young Ye Bushou frowned and put away his telescope, turned around and whispered: "There are about five thousand Qing soldiers coming, all of whom are Tatar vests. It seems that they are the elite of the Tatars. Immediately
