Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to the only remaining English longbowmen.

Emperor Chongzhen did not have the idea of ​​arresting a few English longbowmen for research, let alone for exhibition. The disappearance of these longbowmen whose bones have been deformed is the best ending!

After dealing with the last English archer, Emperor Chongzhen returned to the original tent with his troops.

Shen Zhenjiang was already kneeling on the ground with ashes all over his face. Although Zhang Shize's face was not as ugly as Shen Zhenjiang's, he still knelt on the ground obediently.

Emperor Chongzhen took off his armor, and after pacing to Shen Zhenjiang's side, he kicked out fiercely: "You bastard, have you grown capable? Have you learned how to disobey orders before the battle?"

Shen Zhenjiang lay obediently on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, I deserve to die!"

Emperor Chongzhen returned to his chair and sat down, rubbed his forehead and said, "What should I do for disobedience before the battle?"

Zhang Zhiji looked at Shen Zhenjiang with pity, bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, if you disobey orders before the battle, you will be executed!"

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head, and said to Shen Zhenjiang: "I think you have a heart to fight to the death, and I won't let you go on the guillotine, and the things behind you will be treated as death in battle."

After Shen Zhenjiang bowed to Emperor Chongzhen again, he choked up and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Without any resistance or excuse, after Shen Zhenjiang thanked Emperor Chongzhen, he got up and walked out. After a while, Jin Yiwei came to report: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Commander Shen has committed suicide."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said to Zhang Zhiji: "Remember, it will be treated as a death in battle, and someone else will replace him."

After Zhang Zhiji responded, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "How to deal with the Nanyu Linwei?"

Zhang Zhiji bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, according to the law, the Southern Imperial Forest Guard can only be disbanded on the spot, and all soldiers are not allowed to serve in the army again. The establishment of the Southern Imperial Forest Guard will be cancelled."

When it comes to the abolition of the Southern Imperial Forest Guard establishment, Zhang Zhiji's heart is bleeding - any emperor in any dynasty, it must be rare for this kind of army who dares to disobey orders in front of the battle just to charge to the death No no no.

Only in Daming, or even Emperor Chongzhen, such an army would not receive special favor.

After being silent for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said: "The original soldiers of the Southern Imperial Forest Guard were disbanded on the spot, and they will be recruited from other guards to keep the establishment.

In addition, after going back, investigate carefully, whether it is disobedience before the battle or defeating the enemy, this situation is absolutely not allowed to happen again, no matter what the reason is, the military order is like a mountain! "

Zhang Zhiji bowed again, and turned the topic to the battle against England: "At present, the last longbowmen and heavy knights in England have been wiped out. Even if Charles I can have some, It is no longer a cause for concern.

Apart from the influence of the weather and the need to re-deploy troops to replenish the Southern Royal Forest Guard, the plan to pacify England is estimated to be one or two months ahead of schedule. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "Cromwell has nothing to pay attention to, and Charles I's strength has always been inferior to Cromwell, let alone nothing to care about.

Since it is possible to advance the time to pacify England, let's advance it. The plan to relocate people from Daming should also be advanced. "

Zhang Zhiji returned to the topic again: "Yes. In addition, the Southern Imperial Forest Guard was originally a reorganized guard. Except for those who were killed just now, the [-] soldiers were disbanded in place. Can they be added to England? The government office, as a yamen servant and a second-level combat readiness guard?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded first, then shook his head and said: "It is no problem to add that the government in England serves as government servants, but they are no longer suitable to stay in the army, even the second-level combat readiness guards are not suitable."

This kind of opening must not be started, and once it is opened, it is likely that it will never be able to stop later.

After the last effort also lost its effect, Zhang Zhiji simply stopped persuading him.

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "This night attack is still somewhat beneficial, at least it exposed some of the current problems of the Ming army.

It is a good thing to expose these messy problems early, but it is not a good thing to suppress them as invisible.

For example, fighting in heavy rain does not have an advantage. In addition to the range and speed of fire, future firearm research and development must also pay attention to the issue of rain protection. It is best to be able to not be afraid of moisture.There is also the God Arm Bow, this kind of bow and arrow will be eliminated in the future, or the amount of equipment will be reduced. "

Ming's muskets can be fired in rainy days, but gunpowder is not good. There is no way to achieve the all-metal shell casings of World War II. As a result, the ammunition will be affected in rainy weather.

In fact, even the grenade that the Ming army has been relying heavily on has this situation-it can be used in rainy days, but its power will be greatly reduced, and there are also cases where the lead wire is damp and cannot be pulled!

There are also the shortcomings of the god arm bow are also exposed.

The advantage of the Divine Arm Bow is that the range is far enough. However, the Divine Arm Bow, which requires three people to operate together, has insufficient fire rate and insufficient lethality against heavy armor equipment. These two shortcomings make the range advantage meaningless.

In addition, Ming's army has one of the biggest, almost fatal flaws.

To a large extent, the Ming army cannot afford to fail, or in other words, they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of failure.

Because after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he won all foreign battles, and the army has long developed a proud mentality that the emperor is the god of war and the Ming army is the best in the world.

And it was this kind of mentality that led to the possible failure of the Southern Royal Guards, especially when Emperor Chongzhen was behind the battlefield, the entire guard lost its mind from the commander Shen Zhenjiang to the bottom soldiers.

This can’t be done, there are things like wars that are always victorious and undefeated, but absolute invincibility and never losing are pure nonsense—even if the overall strategy is dominant, occasional partial battles or small units It is also possible to lose in war.

A low sobbing sound came from outside the tent, which made Emperor Chongzhen's already tangled heart even more uncomfortable.

Chapter 799 You must first settle down if you fight against the outside world

Emperor Chongzhen finally insisted on the original disposal plan, and did not soften his heart any more—if he softened his heart this time, it is foreseeable that Ming's army will eventually go down the road of being too big to lose.

The vassals and towns of the Tang Dynasty, the Huai Army and Beiyang in the Qing Dynasty, and the warlords of Principal Jiang are basically typical representatives of the big tail.

Just like a person has a sore, should he choose to cut his flesh or wait for the sore to expand and die?Now no matter how unbearable it is, no matter how distressed it is, I have to endure this momentary pain.

After dealing with the matter of the Southern Imperial Forest Guard, there is actually not much left to do. It is nothing more than continuing to lead troops northward, and then giving Cromwell and Charles I, who was supposed to be guillotined by Cromwell, to him. kill.

And then, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly discovered that he had the potential to become a villainous villain?I always seem to be trying to find a way to start a war?Selling arms and drugs, seems to have done all kinds of immoral things?

After reflecting for three seconds, Emperor Chongzhen ignored the question of whether he was a villain or not.

Where did the money in the Ming treasury come from?Where did the money in my wallet come from?

There is no doubt that it is all the hard-earned money of the common people of Ming Dynasty, and it belongs to the protection fee paid by them. It has nothing to do with these barbarians. At least the barbarians did not pay this protection fee, and I have no responsibility and obligation to guarantee their safety Safety.

As the Ming army marched north step by step, Cromwell finally chose to join forces with Charles I.

Charles I did not expect that Daming would be so unreasonable.

The matter was provoked by Cromwell, and the person was arrested by Cromwell's men. Even if the port in the area under his control was bombarded, didn't he hold his nose and bear it?

Not only did he endure it, but he also talked about a series of cooperation with the Marquis of Daming, including the trade of drugs and arms. From this point of view, he is already generous enough, right?

However, in return, after Daming received the silver coins, he started bombarding the port again, and the army even started landing operations!

Simply deceiving too much!

The clay figurines are still a bit fiery, not to mention that Charles I, who is still somewhat capable, can't swallow this breath no matter what.

However, it's useless not to be able to swallow it down. Let alone a three-point fiery nature, even if he is very fiery, he's still a clay figurine?

Charles I also knew that his own strength was not enough to confront Daming head-on, and he also had a deep understanding of the strength of his old opponent Cromwell.

In general, neither of the two families has the strength to confront Daming head-on. Even if they join forces, they are only reluctant, and the greater possibility is that they will still be beaten.

However, in Charles I's view, even if they were pressed and beaten, it would be much better than the current situation. At least after the two join forces, there would be some room for maneuver, wouldn't it?

For Charles I and Cromwell, with the annihilation of the English longbowmen and heavy knights, the two have almost been cornered, which also means that the whole of England has been cornered .
