Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 196 The effect is obvious
"Mr. Lu, you have known Zuo Liangyu for a long time. How is he?"

On the boat, He Tengjiao held a wine glass, slightly drunk, with a hesitant face, and asked vaguely.

On the side, Lu Daqi had a slender beard and looked at He Tengjiao with a look of bitterness and hatred. He was extremely unhappy.

His Jiangxi governor, in fact, the governor of Jiangxi, Huguang, Yingtian (Nanjing), Anqing and other places, but Nanzhili could not control it, and Huguang fell, so he could only be the governor of Jiangxi.

Emperor Hongguang succeeded to the throne, and he was moved to the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials. A few days ago, he impeached Ma Shiying, but was deposed.

Today, I am going back to my hometown in Sichuan for the elderly.

"Zuo Liangyu is domineering and rude."

Lu Daqi has fought in the north and south for many years, but he is dedicated to serving the public. Although he can't see He Tengjiao, he still says:
"Although outsiders may see him as lustful and greedy, other than being domineering, the rest are just rumors."

"However, as a general, you can be lustful or greedy, but you can't be domineering."

He Tengjiao couldn't help nodding his head when he heard the resounding words, and said in agreement:

"If Zuo Liangyu cooperates with Sun Dushi, will there be a death in Beijing?"

When Lu Daqi heard the words, he sighed deeply.

He is a person who hates evil like a vengeful man, so he can't get used to Zuo Liangyu, but the situation is like this, and he has to rely on Zuo Liangyu just to suppress the western thieves.

Thinking about it now, it's extremely disgusting.

"King Hanyang, it's not easy to deal with."

After a long time, Lu Daqi looked at the rolling river, then glanced at He Tengjiao, and sighed softly, "Why do you have to go into this muddy water?"

At this time, He Tengjiao was the right servant of the Ministry of War, a bachelor of Wuyingdian University, and Ma Shiying and him were from the township party. They were both from Guizhou, and their official career was prosperous.

He Tengjiao smiled wryly after hearing Lu Daqi's words: "I was the governor of Huguang last year, and there is no one more suitable than me in the imperial court."

"Besides, it's my generation's wish to serve the country."

"The King of Hanyang is different."

Lu Daqi saw his expression of serving the country with his own body, but he didn't know whether it was true or not, so he simply said:

"My hometown is in Tongchuan, Sichuan. Although the majesty of King Hanyang's army has never been seen there, there are nearly 20 western thieves, and now there is no trace in Sichuan."

"Although the king of Hanyang is only 10 people, he is heavier than 20 people!"

"You mean, the king of Hanyang will ignore the appointment of the court?"

He Tengjiao frowned.

He expected King Hanyang's unruly behavior, but he never thought that it would be equivalent to rebellion.

"Just because he dared to attack Jiujiang, this is already tantamount to rebellion." Lu Daqi said in a deep voice.

"No matter how bad Zuo Liangyu is, he is still an official ordered by the court."

He Tengjiao's mood fell instantly.

He also thought that when he came to Jiujiang, he would stop the fighting between the two armies, and thus switch between the two sides, with great power in his hands.

Seeing He Tengjiao lost in thought, Lu Daqi also fell silent.

In this Nanjing court, Ma Shiying monopolizes power inside, Jiangbei Fanzhen outside, and Hanyang Fan support their own self-respect, which is really too difficult.

It is far worse than the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Report, governor, we are almost in Jiujiang."

Suddenly, the soldiers outside the cabin reported.

He Tengjiao woke up instantly, and hurriedly asked, "Is Jiujiang City still there? Zuo Liangyu, did he ever live?"

"Should be fine!" The soldiers scratched their heads and said, "The soldiers and horses under the city will not attack, Jiujiang City is very safe."

"Why is this?"

He Tengjiao was taken aback.

Lu Daqi couldn't help but also walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

Sure enough, Qin Jun, who was dressed in the military robes of the Ming army, but also uniquely tied on a red triangle scarf, was particularly conspicuous.

And on Jiujiang City, the huge army flag with the left character was also fluttering in the wind.

"This is good, this is good!"

"Governor He, it's not time to be happy yet."

He Tengjiao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to sigh when he was suddenly stopped by Lu Daqi.

Lu Daqi stared straight ahead in a daze, and answered his doubts: "In the Qin army, there are ten cannons in red—"

"What?" He Tengjiao cried out.

He looked around, and sure enough, ten huge red-clothed cannons, driven by hundreds of people, slowly appeared outside Jiujiang City.

"How could he, how could he?"

Zuo Liangyu naturally also saw it, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

The joy brought by the reinforcements just now disappeared in an instant.

Under the great joy and sorrow, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and his body could not restrain himself and fell backwards.

Fortunately, the generals on the side supported him one after another, so he didn't lose face.

The Fran machine gun was passed down as early as the Jiajing period. It is a mature and familiar artillery, and there are imitations everywhere, so it is not uncommon for the Qin army to have a Fran machine gun.

But the red-clothed cannon, which entered the country in the year of the apocalypse, has been cast by the imperial court.

If it weren't for Kong Youde's rebellion under Sun Yuanhua's command, there would be no Jiannu.

"Withdraw, all withdraw from the city!"

Zuo Liangyu gritted his teeth, looked at the black cannon in red, and said viciously:
"Jiujiang City can no longer be defended."

"Master Hou, the imperial court's reinforcements are here!"

Huang Shu couldn't help but said.

"Everyone is firing red-clothed cannons in front of their faces, so how can they be afraid of reinforcements?"

Zuo Liangyu shook his head and said, "My chicken and the monkey are all here, and Qin Jun just performed it."

"Under the cannons in red, we are all on the verge of death. At this time, we broke out of the city, and the court can't say anything."

In fact, Zuo Liangyu didn't even need to say that the Zuo army under his command was already in panic.

The red-clothed cannon weighing several thousand catties is quite powerful even when viewed from the top of the city. Thinking of his rumors, who wouldn't panic?

After the military order for an orderly retreat was issued, Zuo Zhen Shangxin was relieved.

But You Shiwei under the city can't know so much, and can't control so much. He looked at the huge artillery and said triumphantly:
"In just a few rounds, the seemingly solid city of Jiujiang will be riddled with holes, and tens of thousands of leftist troops will become captives."

"Order to go on, keep a close eye on Jiujiang, this time I will swallow it in one gulp."

Relying on the huge cannon in red, You Shiwei's arrogant words also appeared extraordinarily imposing.

"Test shot—"

Suddenly, ten cannons revealed huge iron balls, drew a slender parabola, and headed towards Jiujiang City.

Basically no hits, some flew by, and some missed dozens of steps.

"Respectively correct—"

The artillery commander gave the order again.

Hundreds of people were busy again, adjusting the angle, which took a quarter of an hour.

"emission--"

Following an order, the ten red-clothed cannons shot out huge iron balls again, glowing red, like shooting stars, heading towards the city wall of Jiujiang.

This time the effect was remarkable, and three of the ten shots were hit.

"Adjust again!"

"emission--"

In this way, constantly adjust the angle and launch.

In almost a quarter of an hour, a round will be launched.

In half an hour, four rounds were fired.

With the continuous roar, the city wall of Jiujiang was under continuous attack, and the wall surface was already uneven.

"Continue!" You Shiwei said with a smile: "I'm afraid that if the bombardment lasts for another half an hour, the city wall will not be able to hold it."

Rumble-

Sure enough, after two bursts of shooting, the city wall of Jiujiang could no longer hold up, and the city wall, which was more than ten feet long, had already collapsed.

"Boys, rush in—"

You Shiwei was overjoyed and cheered.

Qin Jun, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed forward.
