Invasion of the martial arts world

Chapter 88

Hearing that Kangxi actually gave him full authority to deal with Luocha's military affairs, Chen Mo showed a fierce smile on his face and nodded and said:

"Please Eunuch Xu go back and report to the emperor. Chen Mo immediately dispatched the Firearms Battalion to the Tumu Fort, and promised not to let the enemy have a chance. If Chen Mo can't do it, he is willing to cut off the top Dai Hualing and his title."

Eunuch Xu nodded and smiled, and Chen Mo took out a wad of about 5000 taels of silver bills from his arms and stuffed them into his arms and said:
"Eunuch Xu and the guards have worked hard along the road. This little money is for everyone to buy wine and drink, but I have to trouble Eunuch Xu to rush back to the capital and ask the emperor to prepare ten thousand stones of grain for me and send it to the Tumu Fort. There is not enough food for hundreds of thousands of troops, and our food and grass will not be enough for marching and fighting."

In order to restrain Chen Mo, who has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, Kangxi provided military pay, food and grass according to normal conditions. Even if Jumu City had its own military settlements, it was not enough for a large army of military training. Tens of thousands of acres of military farmland have been continuously reclaimed on the land, but it is not yet the autumn harvest time, and there is indeed no food and grass for combat.

Of course, Chen Mo is not completely helpless, he has money and Wujiemen warehouse, he can buy a lot of food and grass everywhere, but his plan is to wait for the opportunity, the millions of taels of silver notes on him may not be enough for the subsequent war, but He didn't even think about using that huge treasure right now.

When Eunuch Xu came, he saw the huge barracks stretching for tens of miles outside Jumu City, and he also saw the imposing and burly soldiers of the Han army. The horse ran to the pass.

"The commanders of the firearms battalion are in charge, and the generals of the infantry battalion are all here." Chen Mo said loudly to the guards as he watched Eunuch Xu leave.

The Tumu Fortress is more than 500 miles away from the Jumu City. Except for a 3000-man guard from the Qing army, the strongest team nearby is Chen Mo's Han army camp. When the guards left, Chen Mo faced an ordinary-faced The guard said in a low voice:

"Notify the members of the Dragon Cult that all the women should come to the Giant Wood City, and the men should wait around the Tumu Castle. I will remember to warn them not to reveal their identities, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."

"Yes." The guard hurried out and rushed to another place. Chen Mo sat on a huge seat and squinted his eyes. Although he did not enter Beijing for half a year in this giant wooden city, the things he did made people Countless people looked sideways.

Zhang Bao, Xu Tianchuan, Fat and Thin Toutuo and others were secretly recruited by him to the Han army to act as the commander of the first battalion, and Xu Tianchuan and others secretly executed Tiandihui in the biggest undercover discipline in the capital. Lu Gaoxuan was a counselor of the Han army, although Has no right to advise him;

Originally, the banner ginseng leaders in the army all slipped away because they couldn't stand Chen Mo's strong military training and it was useless to seek connections. For Chen Mo, this also prevented him from actively seeking trouble. However, in half a year, 45 Han troops have been defeated He and his people are built like iron barrels.

Not long after, more than a dozen generals who fully supported Chen Mo arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. After meeting in the lobby, Chen Mo looked around at everyone and said:

"Today the emperor sent someone to announce the decree, and asked me to lead the Musketeer Battalion to fight against the red-haired Raksha soldiers. This general decided to take the opportunity to go to the Raksha country. Maybe you don't know, the missing princess that the Raksha soldiers said Sophia is now my maid;
After I left, Zhu Neng continued to train new musketeers. The army must learn how to operate muskets within six months to a year, and train an artillery team of more than 5 people. As for the firearms workshop, I have expanded tenfold. If the speed If we can’t keep up, let’s expand. Once we need to use it, we must have enough artillery and guns as our strength. "

Zhu Neng and Cheng Yu, who was in charge of the firearm workshop, went out and said:
"The last general takes orders."

Zhu Neng is not a righteous man against the Qing Dynasty, but he is a general loyal to Chen Mo. He doesn't care what Chen Mo wants to do. He doesn't care whether it's the court or someone else, as long as he and his soldiers are worthy of him, that's someone worthy of his support.

For more than [-] years since the Tartars entered the customs, Zhu Neng has become the leader of the Tartar Musketeer Battalion from a musketeer soldier in the Ming Dynasty. Thousands of Han soldiers under him have been bullied, insulted and even whipped by the bannermen. Only Chen Mo took over the Musketeer Battalion. Only then can he feel like a human being. It would be strange for him not to support such a general.

As a literati, Cheng Yu has devoted himself wholeheartedly to helping Chen Mo. The two designers under him, Tang Ruowang and Nan Huairen, have completed Chen Mo's requirements and produced the finished product with Chen Mo's large amount of financial support and some simple drawings. Loading guns and breech-loading guns, and now they have begun to study the technology of improving paper shells and breech-loading gun filling;
Chen Mo even doubted whether these two gringos would manufacture copper-cased bullets and shells with such a spirit, and then manufacture more advanced semi-automatic rifles and howitzers.

If those things were manufactured, Chen Mo scratched his head. Shouldn't he find some skilled workers to manufacture the steam engine, so that after manufacturing the iron-clad ships, maybe China could enter the colonial era ahead of schedule.

Ideals are majestic, but Chen Mo knows that it will be impossible for a while. What he needs now is to use the hole cards in his hand to go to the Raksha Kingdom, so that he can be more helpful when he returns to this world in the future .

Feeling a little bit about the fruits of his hard work, Chen Mo said in a deep voice to everyone present:

"My visit lasted at least half a year, so you need to ensure that there will be no problems here. If someone wants to intervene in the Han army, try not to cause additional incidents. I will talk about everything when I come back. Giant Wood City is our base. The farmland is also reclaimed by us, and the family members of the soldiers of the Han army are also moving out of the pass recently, remember to continue to reclaim the farmland to ensure that they have land to plant here.”

"Subordinates wait for orders."

A group of generals were ordered to leave, Chen Mo walked to the backyard of the city lord's mansion, and after gathering everyone together, Chen Mo looked at Shuang'er and the others and said:

"I'm going to Tumubao this time. Sophia and Fang Yi will be with me. Shuang'er, Ake and Aqi will go to the Central Plains to fetch Wu Zhirong's head."

"What about me?" Mu Jianping asked sadly.

"Yes, sister Jianping has stayed in the city lord's mansion for so long, everyone thinks she is your wife, how will you behave after you let her go?" Shuang'er stepped forward and gently grabbed Mu Jianping's hand and said in a low voice .

"Sister Jianping, if you want to go with me, that's okay, but Mu Wangfu has been looking for your traces outside, and I don't dare to expose you in my city lord's mansion. If you go to the Central Plains with Shuang'er and the others, if you still wish to come back, Chen Mo will never let you down." Chen Mo said, looking at Mu Jianping intently.
