Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 202
So, he immediately asked Du Yinxi: "How is the training of Ma Qing's white pole army?"

As soon as Du Yinxi heard it, he knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and immediately played back: "Returning to your majesty, the Baigan Army has no new recruits, but its army has adapted to the new equipment and practiced it. I think that it will be almost a month now." , is enough!"

Or in other words, Ma Xianglin's white pole army is more of a rest.

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard it, so he asked Du Yinxi for his opinion: "In this case, I will send him equipment to go to Jin to join his mother, and then wait for an opportunity to cooperate with the Kaifeng battle from the north. What do you think?" ?”

Du Yinxi had guessed his idea a long time ago, and immediately responded: "Your Majesty is wise, and the humble minister also thinks the same way. Only the white pole army can carry out this purpose well. And Ma Xianglin's troops are equipped with new equipment , Combat strength is already not to be underestimated, this humble minister thinks, yes!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very happy, so he immediately sent an order to summon Ma Xianglin, told him about the situation, and asked him for his opinion.

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he couldn't help being very pleasantly surprised.

He didn't expect that his mother would personally lead the troops to the capital.For him, of course he wanted to see it.

In addition, is this finally about to get new equipment?He is also looking forward to this.

Therefore, without further ado, Ma Xianglin replied directly to Emperor Chongzhen, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely deal with those thieves severely!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen became worried instead, and hurriedly said to him: "No, no, no, don't be impulsive when you go to Kaifeng, and everything will be arranged by Sun Dushi. Swimming without fighting, watching tigers from the sidelines, is far better than you looking for The thieves' decisive battle is more effective! As long as it drags on, the imperial court will have a greater chance of winning!"

He had read the information sent to him by Liu Weichao, and knew that in the original history, Li Zicheng's thieves were very cunning. So much so that in the battle of Zhuxian Town, the court officials and army suffered a crushing defeat, which led to the even greater power of the thieves!

The strategy he and Sun Chuanting set up was to ask the imperial court to support Kaifeng outside. If there is a chance, they would look for the old camp of the rogues and attack the weak points of the rogues instead of directly saving Kaifeng, so as to counter Kaifeng.

On the Kaifeng side, it is necessary to persevere, not only to consume the troops of the rogues, but also to consume the supplies of the rogues. When the Yongwei camp and the Beijing camp are reorganized, it is best if the Jianlu can be defeated first, and then take the large The prestige of Sheng Jianlu went south to rescue Kaifeng. At that time, it was time to fight the main force of the bandits and sweep the bandits.

At this time, Ma Xianglin heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, and naturally it was impossible to resist the order, so he immediately agreed.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was still worried, and sent eunuch Gao Shiyue to deliver an edict to Qin Liangyu, explaining the combat intention of the Battle of Kaifeng.He believed that with Qin Liangyu's maturity and prudence, he could rest assured.

After arranging these things, under the personal intervention of Emperor Chongzhen, the new armor was fully equipped for the white-armed army of about [-].

These armors were all painted in the same color as the original military uniform of the White Pole Army, covering up the metallic luster.

Because the white pole army mainly fights with cold weapons, that is, white pole spears.Their gun heads were all replaced with stainless steel.The waist knives that were equipped were also replaced by those produced by Bingzhan Bureau.In addition, about [-] new flintlock guns and two field machine guns were also given.

The reason why only the firearms are given is because the white pole army mainly fights with cold weapons. If they are all changed to the firearms army, the training will not be completed so quickly.

The second is that these new flintlock guns and Francois machine guns are all made of fine steel and processed by a new boring machine. At present, the output is only so small, and the output can only be increased after expanding production.

Of course, the gunpowder given to the Baigan Army is naturally granulated gunpowder.However, the white pole army was not told the secret of the gunpowder, and it was just distributed like this.

Perhaps because of Emperor Chongzhen's concern, the entire distribution process was completed in just one day.

The soldiers of the Baigan Army were all overjoyed when they really received these ordnance.

For them, among other things, the armor alone may save them countless times on the battlefield!
With solid armor, the courage to fight on the battlefield will be a little bit stronger!
Of course, Ma Xianglin was also very happy. This time he got more than 6000 sets of such strong armor, and felt that everything he had paid before was worth it.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not tell Ma Xianglin that the cost of these armors was actually only about ten taels of silver. More than 6000 armors were paid, and the total was more than 6 taels of silver.

However, Ma Xianglin guessed that it was not too outrageous, because the financial resources of the imperial court were there, and it was impossible to be higher than Shan Wenjia. Otherwise, it would be impossible to give him so many armors after selling the imperial court.

He estimated that these armors would cost at least 100 taels a pair. In this way, the total value was 60 taels, which was also a huge sum.

The Baigan Army fought north and south for the imperial court, and had never received so many ordnance rations.They even said, not to mention armaments, sometimes when fighting, even food and grass are brought with them.

Now that he can get so much at once, Ma Xianglin is not to mention how happy he is.

So, without saying a word, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was eager to care about the Battle of Kaifeng, so he led the troops and set off the next day.

Emperor Chongzhen was naturally delighted with Ma Xianglin's swift and resolute actions, and even went to the head of the capital for the first time in person to watch the white-armed army go away.

This is the first time that the new type of armor has been equipped in the army. I hope they will not disappoint me and give me a surprise!

Thinking about this, he asked Shoufu who was following him: "Have you arranged for the food and grass for the White Pole Army along the way?"

Although this matter has been explained before.However, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen was looking forward to a big victory for the white pole army, and worried that something was not perfect, so he asked again.

Hearing this, He Fengsheng quickly replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are all arranging the food supply for the original Shanxi merchants in Jindi. If the white-armed army goes to Jindi, there will be no worries about food and grass."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded in relief.

Now he basically doesn't care about other things.For example, those urgent reports in the south, he didn't pay much attention to almost everything, he only cared about things related to the strong army in the capital.

At this time, watching the white pole army go away, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help turning his head to look at Kaifeng, which is southwest of the capital, without saying a word, but thinking in his heart: I don't know what is going on in the battle of Kaifeng on Sun Qing's side now. What's the matter?
………………

Kaifeng, which Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about, had just ended a tragic siege battle.

This point can also be seen from the wailing of the rogue corpses all over the ground under the city, and the wailing of those rogues who would not die for a while and were abandoned by their fellow rogues.

On the top of the city, Sun Chuanting was watching the movements of the rogues outside the city with a telescope.

Beside him, Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Kaifeng who was in charge of the other side of the city defense, was telling him: "In this battle, the bandits are attacking very urgently. They intend to dig the city wall and blow it down with gunpowder. Even the general will see that the bandits are digging a piece of the city wall." Bricks, and returned in ecstasy, obviously there was a military order, one city wall brick can be retreated. However, it is very useful to fight against ten thousand people, and countless thieves in the city were killed and injured, but they did nothing but useless efforts."

After a pause, he continued to report: "Now that the bandits have retreated, I will send someone to clean up the battlefield and repair the city wall by the way, so that we can fight again in the future!"

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting put down the binoculars, turned to look at Chen Yongfu, with a rare smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with this Chen Yongfu.

He only heard him say to Chen Yongfu: "The bandits have attacked the city ten times, and each attack is more fierce than the last. It is obvious that Kaifeng is bound to win. You have to defend well, don't be careless!"

"The last general obeys orders!" Chen Yongfu responded loudly after hearing this.

He knew what Sun Chuanting was referring to, the last time the rogues retreated, they used elite soldiers to pretend to be wounded soldiers under the city, trying to seize the gate while the city sent people to clean up the battlefield.

When the incident happened suddenly, thanks to Chen Yongfu's prompt decision, he immediately closed the city gate, supported the people from the top of the city, and wiped out the elite rogues pretending to be wounded soldiers before the rogues responded.

After hearing his response, Sun Chuanting pointed to the outside of the city, and said to him: "Depending on the situation, the bandits are going to dig tunnels to attack the city. You should also be careful on your side, and don't be paralyzed." main idea!"

When Chen Yongfu heard this, he said confidently: "Don't worry, the supervisor, it is inevitable to prevent the enemy from attacking the city with tunnels, and the general has already prepared for it!"

"Okay!" Sun Chuanting listened, praised lightly, and then said, "Give me the list of meritorious soldiers and disabled soldiers, and then let Gao Xun press to ask His Highness King Zhou for money!"

This made Sun Chuanting very pleased.With Zhou Wang, a rich man, the rewards and pensions, which were very troublesome, became the easiest.Because of this, the morale in Kaifeng City has been high.

Sun Chuanting felt that this battle of Kaifeng was far easier than previous battles.For keeping Kaifeng, his confidence is getting bigger and bigger.

He was happy on his side, but Li Zicheng's side was naturally not happy.

After besieging the city for so many days, he really realized how difficult Sun Chuanting's old opponent is.After so many siege battles, they didn't get any advantage. Instead, they lost soldiers and generals, and their morale dropped a lot.

In desperation, the only way to try is to use the time-consuming authentic tactics.However, Li Zicheng was still not sure that this authentic method of warfare might not be of much use.

However, Kaifeng must be taken, not only because Kaifeng is the largest city in the Central Plains, and only by capturing Kaifeng can he completely control the Central Plains, but also because Li Zicheng failed to attack Kaifeng twice, which became the heart of his team. magic.If you don't get rid of this demon, how can you talk about the great cause of the world!
