Acting for the gods

Chapter 139
In the 30th year of Jiajing, Chang Town and Zhenbao Town were added in the west of Beijing, forming a layout of "nine sides and eleven towns".

Nine Sides and Eleven Towns is a defense system set up by the Ming Dynasty to defend the northern minorities. Nine defense areas were set up along the Great Wall from the Yalu River in the east to Jiayuguan in the west, commonly known as "Nine Sides". govern.

They are: Liaodong Town, Ji Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town, Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town, Gansu Town.

Hou Jin knew that it was difficult to break through the important towns, so he took those remote towns and villages to attack, burned, killed, looted, robbed property, and arrested young men and women as slaves. The people on the border were miserable, and they hated and feared Hou Jin.

Qinglong Township on the border of Liaodong.

On this day, the wind was sunny, the farmers were farming in the fields, the children were playing by the river and the road, and the countryside was peaceful.

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and countless soldiers who were facing the red flag rushed forward like wolves.

The villagers by the river didn't know it, they were still washing clothes or vegetables.

By the time someone saw the Zhenghongqi flag, it was too late.

"The Bannerman is coming!"

"Run!"

"Damn bannermen, I'll fight you!"

"Bastard..."

……

The village was in chaos, and some fled in a hurry. Some picked up poles and hoes and followed the Jin officers and soldiers desperately.

It's a pity that they can't run horses, and they can't defeat the battle-tested bannermen.

Some chaste women couldn't bear the humiliation and chose to throw themselves into the well, while some were caught and humiliated on the spot!

Those who resisted were killed by the bannermen.

"Kill, kill all these Han dogs!"

"Forgive me!"

"No, no!"

"Bastards! You must die!"

"I told you to die first."

"Hahaha……"

"woo woo woo woo……"

The bannerman swung his knife, and an old man in his sixties fell into a pool of blood.

The banner man stabbed the bloody knife on the spot, and then threw down the old man's 13-year-old granddaughter. Like a livestock, he had no bottom line and vented his animal desire to his heart's content.

The banner people searched the village from house to house, snatching any valuable property, whether it was gold, silver or money, or chickens, sheep, pigs and dogs.

If you can't take it with you, you burn it.

All the old and weak were hacked and killed, only those young and middle-aged and women were left behind.

For these banner people, the people of Ming Dynasty are like dealers, once they harvest, another wave will grow again.

Soon Qinglong Village was littered with corpses, and the village with hundreds of people was reduced to a hell on earth!

When the red flag was withdrawing, only corpses and burning houses were left behind.

The property in the village was looted, and those women and young adults were locked in prison cars and taken back to be slaves!
The bannermen returned with a full load, and they were all very excited. Some even put the heads of old people and children on the guns, and dragged the corpses of the rebels on horses to show off their might.

"Brothers, today's harvest is good, go back and celebrate it, eat a big piece of meat, drink a big bowl, let's get drunk."

"it is good!!"

"Brother, this place is relatively close to Shanhaiguan, let's leave quickly to avoid being chased by the Ming army."

"What are you afraid of? Those Chinese dogs are as cowardly as a mouse. They only know how to hide in the city pass. It's just right to catch up. The outside of the pass is our territory, so I'm afraid they won't dare to come."

Hauge had an arrogant demeanor, he didn't pay attention to the Ming army at all.

……

the other side.

After the Godly Zhuge Crossbow was in place, Jiang Fan was appointed by Emperor Tianqi to lead the troops to Shanhaiguan. It has been more than ten days now.

For this trip, in addition to the original [-] Jinyiwei troops, Zhu Youxiao also allocated [-] Shenji Battalion to Jiang Fan to assist in the battle.

The standard weapon used by the Shenji Battalion is the bird gun with a bayonet added.

The bird gun is a weapon that was imitated after the Japanese pirate muskets were seized during the battle between the Ming army and the Japanese pirates.

The reason why it is called "Bird Gun" is not because it is used to shoot birds or even birds cannot escape, but because the action of the bolt holding the matchlock and falling to ignite the gunpowder in the ignition pool is like a bird pecking at food.

Its range is 150 meters, but its disadvantage is that it cannot be used in rainy days, and its performance is much worse than that of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

According to Jiang Fan's proposal, the bayonet can be equipped with a bayonet. In this way, it can avoid the embarrassing situation that the bird can only be used as a fire stick when someone gets close after firing.

In addition, the Shenji camp is also equipped with cluster rockets, Shenhuo flying crows, ten thousand enemies, fire dragons out of water, tiger crouching guns and other firearms.

These firearms are considered to be the most advanced firearms of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all powerful.

If it weren't for the limitation of craftsmanship, and the explosion of Wang Gong's factory last year, which destroyed Daming's gunpowder reserves, there would be no such thing as Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji.

It can only be said that the Ming Dynasty in history was full of disasters and disasters. The combination of natural disasters and man-made disasters, coupled with various coquettish operations after Chongzhen came to power, led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty!
Now the people in Daming have eased to a certain extent, the treasury is full, the Donglin Party has been wiped out, and the Eunuch Party has been taken over by Zhu Youxiao after the death of Wei Zhongxian. Except for uncontrollable factors such as natural disasters, everything is developing in a good direction .

Jiang Fan also thought about improving firearms with magic tricks, but thinking about the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, there is enough money to suppress it, and it is also a threat to himself to really create a large-scale destructive thermal weapon.

After leaving, he can leave some information to improve Daming's technological level and let more people know what modernization is.

As for how to use these technologies to manufacture new artillery, that is not something Jiang Fan has to worry about!
It was the first time for Jiang Fan to get into the bridal sedan chair as a big girl for the battle of leading troops.

After arriving at Shanhaiguan, Jiang Fan was not in a hurry to lead the troops to fight, but went to the border and watched two battles between the Ming army and the Eight Banners army.

After watching the battle, Jiang Fan found that there was still a big gap between the Eight Banners cavalry and the ordinary Ming army.

Although the Ming Dynasty was powerful, it was still unable to get rid of internal and external troubles. Therefore, the army's combat effectiveness was weak, and it always took a defensive position, relying on Chengguan to resist the invasion of the Eight Banners.

According to the general situation, the riding and shooting ability of the Eight Banners is much higher than that of the Ming army, and even much stronger.

Fighting in the wild, unless the Ming army has an advantage in strength, it can win with a doubled number of people.

The Eight Banners Army is not the case. They are good at riding and shooting. With the advantage of cavalry, they are good at field battles. Therefore, even if they are an elite division, even if they lose a battle, they can quickly withdraw from the battlefield and reduce casualties.

Facing a large number of Ming troops, or a pass with a high wall and a thick wall, they will avoid their edge.

Facing a small Ming army, they will swarm up, which is a bit of a guerrilla warfare.

On this day, there was no fighting at the border, and Jiang Fan was refining weapons with magic tricks in the house.

I saw the much dust beads in Jiang Fan's hands floating in the air, emitting a faint gleam.

Jiang Fan opened the strange game and concentrated on it. After a while, the sphere shone brightly.

"It's finally done!"

Seeing Muchen Bead falling into the palm of his hand, Jiang Fan showed joy.

After many trials and sacrifices, Jiang Fan finally transformed Muchen Bead into a "sac-eating pouch".

The phagocytic capsule is a magic weapon similar to a space ring. The inner space is circular with a diameter of about 500 meters.

Objects much larger than itself, even living things, can be loaded, but living things with a strong sense of resistance cannot be loaded, otherwise they will be automatically discharged.

Jiang Fan has long been yearning for the space magic weapon.

With space equipment, many things will be easier to do.

When leaving the dungeon world, he can also carry more items back to the real world.

Although phagocytosis is good, it is not easy to refine.

If you want to refine the swallowing capsule, you first need to obtain materials that can withstand the power of space.

The second is to open up a stable storage space in it.
