Chongzhen Chat Group

"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen showed a hint of anger and snorted heavily.

There was no need for Liu Xingzuo to convey it. After Ning finished, I immediately continued: "Master... the slave chief thought that Jianlu was invincible in field battles, but the siege was too weak. Especially this time when entering the pass, if there were Hongyi cannons, they might have captured the capital. So, he ordered Bai Yangcui to go and buy the Hongyi cannon..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be surprised. Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji was so ambitious and wanted to make up for their weak siege. If this really happens, I'm afraid many cities will suffer.

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen had already seen the Hongyi cannon. This kind of artillery is actually not suitable for field battles, or even for city defense. But if it is used to attack a city, the power of the heart bomb can actually be reflected. It is indeed a weapon for siege.

But he sent Bai Yangcui to Jiangnan. Where are the Hongyi cannons looking to buy? Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused, so he turned to Liu Xingzuo and asked: "Is there a Hongyi cannon over there in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Liu Xingzuo had only been in the position of commander of the Imperial Guard for a few months, and his focus had always been on the north. He did not dare to answer the emperor's question randomly, and could only say matter-of-factly: "I will verify it later."

After answering, he turned to look at Ning Wanwo and asked loudly: "Tell me quickly, Bai Yangcui is going to Jiangnan. Where exactly is he going and who should he contact?"

After Ning Wan, I didn't look at Liu Xingzuo, but at Emperor Chongzhen. He knelt down and replied, "I don't know. He didn't tell me. It's not convenient for me to ask."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and looked at him for a while. I believe Ning Wan and I have mentioned this. If I know it, there is no need to hide it anymore. So he finally waved his hand and signaled Liu Xingzuo to escort him down.

Liu Xingzuo got the order, and with a wave of his hand, the two imperial guards took Ning Wan and I were about to exit, but heard Emperor Chongzhen say again: "There are no slaves in the Ming Dynasty. There are slaves who open their mouths and slaves who shut their mouths. It's better to stay in Liaodong for a long time." I have forgotten my ancestors!”

After hearing this, Liu Xingzuo ordered the two imperial guards: "Go back and tell him your Majesty's words, so that he will not forget who his ancestors are!"

After turning back, he bowed and asked Emperor Chongzhen for instructions: "Your Majesty, will you send your elite troops to Jiangnan to capture Bai Yangcui now?"

"Does Liu Qing know where to find him?" Emperor Chongzhen asked with a frown.

It is impossible for Jianlu to get the Hongyi cannon, otherwise the Ming army will suffer a big loss before it has the ability to fight in the field.

Liu Xingzuo thought for a moment and then quickly said: "I will send out the arrest documents at the end. On the other hand, I will check Bai Yangcui's family acquaintances."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded after hearing this. This is a way, but it is not safe. He thought for a moment and then instructed: "The source of the Red Yi cannon is Macau... Xiyi in Haojing'ao. Qing sent people to watch over there. If someone trades the Red Yi cannon privately, no matter who it is, take it on the spot. Down!"

"The general will obey the order!" When Liu Xingzuo heard this, his face showed joy. This strategy of waiting for the rabbit to come out is more effective at this time.

What Emperor Chongzhen said just now stimulated his thoughts, and he explained: "The number of Hongyi cannons in the Ming Dynasty is limited. You also checked how many Hongyi cannons there are in the Ming Dynasty. This is also a clue for the search."

A multi-pronged approach must be taken, and Jianlu must not be allowed to obtain the Hongyi cannon! Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart. He didn't know that in the original history, it was said that Jianlu discovered a Red Yi cannon from the seaside, and then issued a reward to put a Han who was plundered to Liaodong in charge of the cannon. From then on, he began to build the Red Yi cannon. In the siege of Daling River, Hongyi cannons were even used. It's just that there are only a few cannons, and there are not many gunners who can operate them, so they can't suppress the Ming army in the city.

But what no one expected was that not long after, Kong Youde took the Ming Dynasty's artillery army, gunners and craftsmen trained by the Portuguese to join the Jianlu.

Of course, these things, in this plane, because of the souls from later generations, the butterfly effect has already had a profound impact, and these things are impossible to happen.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Xingzuo responded again. Then, when he saw that the emperor did not explain anything further, he quickly went to arrange the matter. The cat-and-mouse game unfolds between Jin Yiwei and Bai Yangcui.

Late at night, as far away as Ganghwa Island in North Korea, rats also secretly came out of their holes. About a dozen people, under the cover of night, did not light torches, but just walked in the dark. They were sneaky and looked behind them from time to time. It was obvious at a glance that they were afraid of being discovered.

In the middle of this group of people, there was a strong man carrying someone on his back, almost trotting. As a result, it was also a little bumpy, which made the person on the back groan involuntarily.

Upon hearing this, the man whispered in Korean: "Your Majesty, be patient, it is not safe here yet, we can only be safe if we escape to the ship!"

"Well, it doesn't matter. I went through all the hardships back then, so this little thing is nothing!" The man on the back, who was called the king, seemed to be gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, and replied in a low voice.

This man was Gwanghaejun, the last king of Korea. When the Japanese invaders invaded, he was temporarily named the crown prince by Seonjo. Seonjo himself, on the pretext of going to Ming Dynasty to ask for reinforcements, patted his butt and ran to Liaodong.

Speaking of which, Gwanghaejun did go through a lot of hardships, and ultimately played a certain role in stabilizing the morale of the North Korean military and people. Later, after finally becoming the king of Korea, he reused the so-called Dabei faction Li Erzhan and others to kill all his political opponents. Between the Ming Dynasty and Jianlu, they pursued a strategy of having both sides.

His behavior aroused dissatisfaction throughout North Korea. In the end, his nephew successfully rebelled and was known as Injo in history. Then his minion Li Erzhan was killed. He was imprisoned on Ganghwa Island and tortured. In 1637, he was transferred to Jeju Island, where he died four years later.

This is not the first time that Lord Gwanghae has tried to escape. His son and himself have both escaped, but neither of them succeeded. The consequence of being caught was that his son was sentenced to death. Although he was fine, his followers were almost killed.

Because of this, he endured it for a while, and then couldn't help but ask: "Where can we escape?"

It had been many years since Injo had been on the throne, and most of his followers had been killed. Even if he escaped from Ganghwa Island, where could he go? He just didn't want to be imprisoned, but after escaping, he was a little confused again before it was safe.

When the strong man heard this, he trotted away. Just when he was about to reply in a low voice, he heard a sudden noise in the distance. Immediately, torches were set off and shouts were heard, apparently discovering that Lord Gwanghae had escaped.
