Dai Quan, who had stopped panicking and was about to pass on to the imperial physician, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth, saying: "It's just a moment of anger, and it's fine to spit out a mouthful of blood. Don't alarm anyone."
Dai Quan had no choice but to hold back his sadness and said: "The old slave took a pill and took it anyway." Now he nodded.
He cleaned up the mess on the ground with his own hands, and then quietly stuffed the blood-stained handkerchief into the armhole, planning to burn it when he had time, so as not to be seen by others.Once the news of today's unfavorable health is spread, I'm afraid it will cause even more uproar.
Just after he got back from taking the pills, he poured another glass of osmanthus wine and took it now. Seeing that his complexion improved a little, he felt relieved.
"Go to the cabinet." Now that he felt a little better, he ordered.As soon as he finished speaking, he changed his mind and felt that there was no need to go to war, so he said, "Forget it, don't pass it on to them, pass it on to the Minister of the Household Department."
He was in a hurry just now, so he forgot that Xinghua Mansion was very close to Dongfan, and it was reasonable for Dongfan to attack there first when he rebelled.It's not worth it for a small mansion, so it's important to order the Fujian capital first to deploy defenses.Moreover, most of Zheng's army is navy, and the Guangdong navy has a total strength of [-] troops to hold back the big waves that can't be turned over.A small number of troops landing in Xinghua Mansion can wipe out the entire standing guard under the capital of Fujian.
The most urgent task at the moment is to find out how much food is still in the treasury. Although it is a disease of ringworm and scabies, it is also necessary to prevent inconsistencies.
Hubu Shangshu rushed over with a bitter face as soon as he heard the summons. His predecessor had already resigned because Lin Ruhai was under his command. As soon as he took office, he accepted such a mess.Because of getting close to Lin Ruhai, those former confidantes all went to prison.It's hard to find someone who works faster these days.
I don't know what the sudden summons are for today. Didn't I say before that the money and food to be prepared for the Dongfan matter can be delayed a little bit, and the money and food from the Guangzhou government can be used to pay for it?
No matter whether it is today or this temporary Hubu Shangshu, they still don't know that the largest Zhendongwei under the capital of Fujian has been wiped out. This news, which is one step later than the fall of Xinghua Mansion, is still on the way.The Fujian Xingdusi has summoned the Dinghai Office of Fuzhou Prefecture and led the [-] soldiers under his rule, which is called an army of [-], and marched towards the Fucheng of Fuzhou Prefecture in two routes.
Just halfway through, Master Shen, the commander of the capital, received the news that the prefect of Fuzhou Prefecture wanted to rebel in the whole city.His hand shook, and a long ink mark was drawn on the half-written memorial.
Distraught, he threw away the obsolete memorial. When the rebels broke Zhendongwei in the previous battle, he knew it was not good.The entire Fujian Xingdusi is governed by Zhenhaiwei, Yongningwei, and Zhendongwei. Each Weizhi has five thousand households under its jurisdiction.Now, the entire Zhendong Guard has been filled in, and the rebels will defend the city again. This battle must be a hard one.
Moreover, if this battle is won by the rebels, then it is conceivable that not to mention the entire Fuzhou Prefecture, the entire country may be shaken, while all horses in Fujian Province are silent, and there is no force that can resist the rebels.
He is now worried about whether his preparations are sufficient. It is said that the rebels have [-] elite soldiers, of which [-] are guarding Min County, which means that only [-] are in Fuzhou Prefecture.Thinking of this, he couldn't help scolding the magistrate for being as cowardly as a mouse, for being so frightened by a mere [-] soldiers, he made such a thing as surrendering the city.As long as he guards the city for a few more days, he can attack head to tail and completely keep the rebels under the city walls of Fuzhou Prefecture.
Thinking of this, his heart warmed up slightly, but the messenger soldier who was still kneeling on the ground poured a pot of cold water on his fantasies to cool down his heart.
Forget it, it's too late to summon other guards, it's really far away water can't save near fire.Shen Cun shook his head, put his own thoughts behind him, turned out a blank memorial, and started to write again with the ink full.
He thought for a while, but didn't write the news of Fuzhou prefect's surrender of the thief for the time being.In case, he fights back in this battle, he thought so.
The optimism of a Dusi who has never really fought against Lin Yu is understandable. After all, there is an entire court behind him. Since the founding of the dynasty for a hundred years, there have been endless anti-Jing and Ming Dynasty successes, and no one has ever heard of it. They are all suppressed down.Therefore, in the eyes of Master Shen, the destruction of the rebels is a matter of time, it's just whether he can get a share of this feast.
But before he had time to take over hand-to-hand combat, another round of artillery fire was fired by Hong Mingze's gradually gathering fleet as if he was tightening his pockets. Fang Jue pushed away the deputy who blocked himself from the shrapnel, and saw that he could see without binoculars. Qing's ship, the eyes are full of resentment and despair.
With such a trump card, why didn't the Zheng family use it earlier, so that he wouldn't surrender and rebel, for nothing, with a reputation of being ruthless and unrighteous.His eyes were tearing open, and he blamed all his faults on his opponent.
At this time, he could no longer imagine that when he left, he took away some of the firearms craftsmen and killed all the craftsmen who were unwilling to leave.If he still has some brains, he should know that these sharp weapons did not come from the Zheng family.At the beginning, Guo Xingye had such a magic weapon, how could he stop Ying Tianfu, so that his achievements fell short, which is a pity for a hundred years.
However, at this time, he was already a little confused by the sound of the cannon blasting again in his ears, and the only thing in his mind was that even if he died, he still had to bring a back pad.
He opened his eyes that were about to bleed, twisted his entire face, dragged the helmsman who was still alive, pointed in the direction of the approaching ship, and said fiercely: "Bump, let me hit you!"
Hong Mingze and the staff officers around him watched the doomed scene quietly. After a while, the little staff officer who counted the battle damage looked at the board in his hand, and then said: "The ammunition has been consumed by nearly [-]%. Commander, are you still fighting?" ?”
"The opponent's battle damage has already reached more than [-]%, and he has no fighting spirit. Let's stop." Hong Mingze is a veteran, and he almost broke into Yingtian Mansion with the Duke.He has a handy intuition and experience in war, "ready to accept the captives and take over the opponent's supply ship." Looking at the intact ships surrounded by the fleet, he laughed twice.
After winning the first battle, he could almost see himself walking sideways across the entire sea area in the future.Of course, it would be even better if he was lucky enough to continue fighting with the general until he reached Yingtian Mansion and even the capital.
After seeing the effect of the artillery, he was very emotional, and his heart was mixed with joy, bitterness, and indescribable.
"Commander, the other party has a ship heading straight for the main ship, do you want to fire!"
Hong Mingze's train of thought was interrupted, and when he took a closer look, there was indeed a ship with smoke coming from its ass. He realized something, raised his binoculars and saw that it wasn't Fang Jue who was steering the helm on the deck. Which again.There was also a sailor in livery lying down at his feet, it was obvious that he was unwilling to die and was killed by him.
"Fire the cannon!" He said blankly, and added, "Just don't tell him to rush over and hurt our treasure ship. As for the people on it, they will die if they want to die!"
Everyone saw that the clothes worn by the man at the helm showed his identity. Of course, Fang Jue didn't mean to hide it, he just wanted to make a last-ditch effort.
It's just that the sound of the cannon that shot up into the sky interrupted his luck again. Hearing the familiar sound, no matter how brave he was, the blows that the ship could bear were limited.Until the boat started to sink, he still couldn't touch Hong Mingze within ten feet.
Why do they have so many firearms? Fang Jue closed his eyes unwillingly with doubts on his mind.
His death did not cause much disturbance. This navy team had long since lost their fighting spirit. They even dropped their weapons with a sigh of relief after hearing that the admiral was dead and surrendered.
This was an unfair battle, but Hong Mingze didn't have the heart to think about it.After confirming Fang Jue's body in front of him, he laughed three times and cut off his head, sprinkled some quicklime on it, and immediately ordered someone to send it to the Prince's Mansion of Yanping County in Dongfan.At the same time, a victory report was sent to Xinghua Mansion, and then sent to Fuzhou Mansion from Xinghua Mansion.
Not to mention how Zheng Shao in Yanping County King's Mansion paid homage to his father and former brothers with tears in his eyes. When the news of the victory reached Fuzhou Mansion, Shen Cun also brought [-] soldiers to store at the north gate of Fuzhou Mansion.
Lin Yu smiled slightly after receiving the good news, and passed the good news on, asking the soldiers who were looking at him eagerly to see it with their own eyes.He picked up the battle damage attached with the victory report and looked at it.
None of the ships sank, and only seven were damaged, all of which could be repaired.This is already a frightening situation in today's era. If he wants to save face, he can boast about the great achievements of the Guangdong Navy without any damage.
In addition, the consumption of ammunition was less than 8000%, which was [-]% less than the planned [-]%.He also captured more than [-] prisoners, some Jing-made ammunition, some grain and grass, and not much silver, which was just over a thousand.
Not to mention other things, because of his strict control of soldiers, the grain and grass are enough for several months.That's all the silver taels, so many soldiers can't divide it much.On the contrary, the nearly [-] captives are a very valuable asset.
Lin Yu picked up a pen and commented: All the food and grass will be returned to Xinghua, and the ammunition and artillery will be sent to Beizhou for remodeling.When he wrote about the captives, he thought about it, and he couldn't send more than 3 people to one place, because it would easily cause mutiny.Then he continued to write: The captives were scattered, and [-] were sent to various places in Dongfan, and the prefect Bai made unified arrangements.The other [-] were sent to Xinghua Mansion, and the system was as usual.
The system of captives is not comparable to the common people, let alone the workers.Especially during the critical period when Lin Yu was still fighting the country, he didn't want to make any trouble because of these captives, but ruined his event.
Therefore, in terms of harshness, the prisoner's life was indeed harsh.They will be sent to various places, either to build roads, or to cast iron, and what is even more terrifying is to mine.Dongfan can have a steady stream of cast iron to make artillery and other sharp weapons because Qiongzhou Prefecture, which is later known as Hainan Province, has an iron mine there.It is also the famous Shilu Iron Mine in later generations.
The reserves of this iron ore are about 3 million tons, and it is a large open-pit mine.The iron ore produced is of high quality and high grade.The average grade is around 50.00%, and the highest can reach 60.00%.For Lin Yu, whose smelting technology is far from modern, this mine is tailor-made.
Therefore, as soon as he won Dongfan, he immediately sent someone to Qiongzhou Mansion.The only thing he can do is to occupy the mountain as king.Anyway, Qiongzhou Mansion is far away from the central government. In the eyes of everyone in the capital, it is poor and bad, and it is especially easy to produce troublesome people.
There is such an important iron mine in such a place, but no one has discovered it until Lin Yu came.
No matter how tense the staff was, Lin Yu still dispatched an army, disguised as bandits, and entrenched on the mountain named Jinniuling in later generations, but now temporarily unknown.He didn't even need to bribe local officials, because the mine was located in the later Li Autonomous Region, which is now Changhua County.
The local Li people are heavy, and the so-called officials basically have no rights, as long as they have a good relationship with the local aborigines.They were not very interested in the stones that Lin Yu's men carried away, but were full of curiosity about the fishing nets and other tools they occasionally brought over.
Later, the captain made a decisive decision, gave them the strong fishing nets he took to catch fish and occasionally improved their food, and taught them how to catch more fish and grow more food. The officers seemed to be the guests of the local Li people.
Because of Lin Yu's warning in advance, these soldiers who hired local guides never had any misunderstandings when they got along with the local natives with different customs.
And the traitors cleared out by Dongfan at the beginning became the first batch of captives trapped in the mine and never saw the light of day.Guaranteeing the continuous production of guns in Beizhou, it is estimated that most of the [-] captives will continue to fill this deep pit this time.
The luckiest ones were the eight thousand who stayed in Xinghua Mansion, and they would be sent by Lin Yu to do some work like road construction. Even if it was heavier, it was actually nothing compared to the government's corvee.At least, Lin Yu still took care of their two meals a day.Of course there is no salary, but if you perform well, you can be promoted to be a small boss, not to mention getting rid of heavy work, and you can also receive some meager money.
Lin Yu considered whether it is necessary to completely take down the Qiongzhou Mansion now. The original consideration was to postpone it. After all, the court's attitude towards that side is obvious to all.However, after thinking about it, he still decided to separate 1 people from the navy to control the entire Qiongzhou.
This iron mine is too important to him to allow for loss.The news cannot be concealed sooner or later, it is better to leave it in the palm of your own hand earlier to feel at ease.As for how to govern that place, military control will not work.However, haven't my rabbits in future generations already given the answer?
The autonomous region is a good thing. With the communication of roads in the future, the younger generation in the mountains will gradually go out, and Huaxia will not be a problem.And the [-] sailors are partly deterrent, and more importantly, protect the sea route between Qiongzhou Prefecture and Dongfan.
Even if the Guangdong Navy has completely fallen, he is unwilling to gamble on any possibility of losing the mine.
Lin Yu pulled another piece of paper, which was different from the one he wrote on just now.This kind of paper is specially used to write military orders, and the orders on it have also been coded to a certain extent, so that only generals in the army can understand them.
But in this way, Dong Fan will stay at [-], and gradually increase in the future, that is, [-].The [-] can't move easily, plus the [-] fleet patrolling in various sea areas.The reinforcements that can be added on land are only Hong Mingze's [-], which is a little less.
It seemed that after the situation in Fujian Province stabilized, the first thing he would do was to recruit soldiers.As for the eight thousand captives, he had no intention of reorganizing them.Firstly, he needs these free labors; secondly, these people are quite thorny, even if they want to reorganize, it is not now.
However, the training of recruits is also a big problem. Although there are no more requirements for military appearance and military appearance, it takes a month of training to meet the prohibition before leaving.Moreover, these people have basically never touched a gun, and everything starts from scratch.
All in all, the main force in the first battle still depends on the [-] soldiers in his hands.
Order the left army commander Hong Mingze to lead his army to land in Quanzhou Prefecture and conquer Yongningwei as soon as possible.After Lin Yu finished writing the last sentence, she took out her military seal, dipped it in a little cinnabar, and pressed it heavily at the end of the sentence.
After the ink was dry, Lin Yu carefully folded up the general order and handed it to the herald beside him.
At this time, the tent has been immersed in a joyful atmosphere. They saw Lin Yu writing something seriously before and they still tried not to talk much. When he put down the pen in his hand, they will follow you one by one to lift the ban. I started to speak in a word.
Lin Yu didn't want to sweep their troubles either. The destruction of the Guangdong Navy brought extraordinary significance. In terms of the impact on the overall situation, it can be said that it was greater than their conquest of Fuzhou.
Few of the generals present were stupid, so they naturally knew what it meant for the entire coastal area to be open to them.Even if the imperial court wants to rebuild the navy at this time, it is already impossible to do so.
It's not that they don't want to, but that Dongfan, a powerful army on the sea, won't let them succeed.We can destroy as many ships as we build.Moreover, as the range of the artillery equipped on the navy increases and the firepower increases, the gap gradually widens.
Controlling the sea area is equivalent to choking the imperial court's throat, making them no longer able to achieve the purpose of transportation or even rushing to help by sea.
On the contrary, Lin Yu could get supplies directly from the sea anytime and anywhere.
"Since the good news is announced, then spread it to make everyone happy. Don't drink wine, but eat meat." Lin Yu said with a smile, walked a few steps in, stood still, and said, "By the way, don't forget In order to tell Mr. Shen outside, let him be happy together."
All the officers and soldiers looked at each other and agreed.
As soon as Lin Yu left, several people immediately scrambled over who would be the messenger. After fighting with each other and waving their fists, a big and round Qianhu won this honor.
Although the group was unwilling, they still followed him up the city wall.
"Did something happen inside?" There was a bang on the city wall, and because they were far away, Shen Cun and the others couldn't tell whether it was cheers or an uproar, so they stretched their necks to listen carefully. .
It's a pity that the voice stopped after only a while, with an extremely restrained look.
"Look at their stupid looks." Qianhu, who was holding a binoculars, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Take the bow and see if I don't scare them!"
The crowd laughed badly together. Many of these thousands of households in the Chinese army were from Lin Yu's Zhuangzi, and most of them were in their twenties.This is when Maotou Xiaozi was lively, usually in the barracks in front of this group of hundreds of households who were a circle older than them, he pretended to be calm one by one.There is such a good thing today, but it's not all revealed.
While regretting that he didn't grab this opportunity, he held up a telescope and stared at the city, urging: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up."
This time, Mr. Shen outside the city will not have the treatment that Lin Yu wrote to persuade him to surrender.Take a thin piece of paper and write something annoying and wrap it around the arrow.That Qianhu weighed the weight that had hardly changed much, half-closed his eyes, and the strong muscles on his arms bulged.
He aimed at the people below the city and moved his hand. When he saw the big flag with the word Shen, a gust of bad water suddenly rose up, and said, "You guys say, how about I shoot down their big flag?"
When everyone heard it, this method was really damaging, but it was exciting.Someone laughed and said: "If you can hit the flagpole, our brothers will treat you to a meal for ten days."
"Ten days are shorter, one month."
"to make!"
As soon as the words fell, the arrow shot straight away like a meteor chasing the moon.
The people below the city heard a thud, and before they could react, they heard another burst of cheers from above the city wall.
"I really don't know what these rebels are doing." Someone whispered, and he turned his head to show his disdain.However, turning his head halfway, he saw an unbelievable sight.I saw him grow his mouth |, pointing in one direction, trembling endlessly, "Big, big banner!"
"I think you're the one with a broken head. I haven't seen anything before." Seeing his appearance, his companion couldn't help laughing, "Isn't it Daqi?"
Then he asked the man to slap the back of the head, and his voice finally became smoother, and he said loudly: "It's the big flag, why don't you open your dog's eyes to see." Then he kicked the joke again. One foot.
The man opened his eyes wide, and when he was about to kick back, he followed the direction he pointed and saw an arrow tied to the flagpole, and even the pole was a little crooked.He immediately forgot the revenge of the kick, and stared straight at the other side speechlessly.
Soon, most of the barracks saw it.
It is unknown to collect the flag before the battle, even if the opponent has already shot the flagpole, but if you just turn the flagpole down and pull out the arrow, you will definitely be laughed at by the rebels.
It took them a lot of people to stabilize the flagpole, and then they set up a ladder and pulled out the arrow.
Listening to the sound of laughter on the city wall, they knew that they were still being laughed at.Shen Cunqing's face was dark, and he tightly grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand, so he gave the order to attack the city without impulse.
He felt that this was the opponent's aggressive method.
"What a bunch of idiots." Seeing them struggling around the flagpole to take down the arrow branches, the thousands of households on the city wall laughed enough, Fang said, "You can get the arrow branches by turning the flagpole across, it has to be like this trouble!"
"You thought it was you, with such a straight mind." Another person said, "Isn't it unknown before the battle? Of course, stupid is really stupid. We shot it up, and then asked someone to shoot the arrow down That’s fine, it’s not that embarrassing.”
Under the city, Shen Cun was also furious at his subordinates like this.Panting and driving away the subordinates who made him spray blood, he took the arrow with a look of disgust and took off the paper on it.
As soon as he glanced at it, the provocative words from above made his eyes red again.Immediately, the news of the annihilation of the Guangdong Navy made him pale.No matter how he comforted himself, this was just a tactic for the rebels to delay their attack, but the hesitation deep in his heart was not so easy to let him go.
This is the human heart, no matter how unwilling to believe it, you will never be able to control yourself.
He stood up with a swipe, he needed a big victory, so that he could settle down, and more importantly, improve the morale that was a bit sluggish in today's encounter.
"Send down the order and prepare to attack the city."
Shen Cun boasted that it would take an hour or two for an order to be enforced.Fortunately, the Fuzhou mansion that arrived last night, the soldiers have almost rested.Even if it was a bit sluggish because of the arrow just now, it is still usable overall.
Following his words, the people in the city didn't care about the arrow, and started to move one after another.
Such a movement that could not be concealed was immediately noticed by the thousands of households who were already observing them.
"They're moving, and they're going to attack the city." The leader hurriedly said, "Everyone return to their posts, there must be no mistakes." He said to a soldier beside him, "Hurry up and report to the general."
The crowd immediately put away the smiles on their faces, and became the taciturn and convincing general again, and they turned around and left.
When Lin Yu came, he bumped into the pawn who was going to report, and he led him up the city wall.
"This is about to attack the city." Lin Yu looked at the situation on the other side, and smiled, "Looking at the posture, let's say less and prepare for a while, which is not much different from what was expected. Don't be nervous, just follow the plan, If you haven’t eaten, eat first, I’ll watch over here.”
That Qianhu responded with a particularly excited yes, then turned and left.
"General Lin's prestige in the army is at its peak!" Qi Zhifu said with emotion. He only found out some time ago that it was true that Dong Fan sent troops, but many generals were under Lin Yu's subordinates.Moreover, the Zheng family did not show up at all, and there was no one in the barracks who had anything to do with the Zheng family.
The one who steals the hook punishes the one who steals the country, that is to say, the one who has the appearance of a prince is the young man in front of him who has not yet been crowned weak.
Lin Yu smiled but said nothing, pointing at the soldiers who were in a hurry below, said: "If all the soldiers in the imperial court are so useless, it will not take me a few years to drive them back from where they came from. gone."
After a pause, he said, "No, it should be further north."
The prefect of Qi thought for a while, and realized that he really had no idea about the places further north, and said, "There are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital, which can be used for a battle." He recalled what he had heard before, and said , "Those are all Mongolian soldiers when they entered the customs, and they are the most fierce."
Lin Yu laughed loudly and said: "These people have long since rotted in the colorful world of the capital, and many of the weapons they used were left over from the previous Ming Dynasty." As he spoke, he showed a mocking smile, "Foreigners used to offer sacrifices. I bought a lot of firearms, but they all ended up in the emperor's private treasury, except for the occasional take out|to play with, never see the light of day."
"It's cheaper for you, isn't it?" Qi Zhifu said boldly. He found that there was never much distance between Lin Yu, who is a general, and the soldiers.And I never blame them because they speak aggressively. The etiquette in the military camp is not a salute to the superior as a subordinate, but more like a simple form. No, it is not a formality, but a form. kind of respect.Yes, respect each other.
Having figured this out, he was stunned for a moment. Looking at Lin Yu's side face, he suddenly didn't understand what this person was thinking.
Lin Yu didn't think it was a stick, and said, "It's really cheap for me." He looked at the busy crowd underground, and said, "However, as long as their firearms can't be mass-produced, no matter how good they are, it won't matter."
The magistrate of Qi obviously thought of Lin Yu's one-handed gun, his cheeks twitched, and he felt rich and powerful in his heart, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will follow suit and equip the soldiers with guns? ?”
Lin Yu said lightly: "Of course I'm not afraid. As for why, you will understand in a while."
Sure enough, after an hour of direct calling, the prefect of Qi deeply understood how wise his decision was amidst the sound of artillery fire all over the sky.
The so-called understanding is all piled up with human lives. It is the first time he has seen so many people die at the same time, and it is also the first time he has seen an army that can order and move in a uniform order, as if it has been rehearsed thousands of times. The shells in his hand were shot out.
The positions below the city are obviously not as well-trained as this side, although they are also working hard to speed up the speed.But compared with the well-trained people on this side, who don't have much chance to practice at ordinary times, it's a world of difference.
On the battlefield, sometimes a second is the difference between life and death, not to mention the fact that the weapons themselves are not equal!
Qin Xia angrily pushed the head of this bold magistrate from the city wall. The city wall of Fuzhou City is not very high, so even if the enemy's artillery fire is not intensive, the accuracy is pitifully low, but occasionally it will Two jumped up.Cannonballs that entered the crowd would cause casualties, even if they were not shells that could be exploded by Lin Yu's side, at best they were solid stone balls.
However, the stone ball is also very fatal under the driving force of gunpowder and the acceleration of gravity.
It was not without reason that Shen Cun felt that he had made sufficient preparations, and he brought all the firearms he could mobilize.Even if Lin Yu's side killed some of them in the first round of volley, but the quality was insufficient to make up for it in quantity, the opponent's firearms would continue to cause damage to the city wall before they completely killed the artillery.
This is also the reason why Lin Yu insisted on marching quickly to make up the time difference. With the protection of the city wall, the loss of his elite soldiers can be further reduced.At least, so far, apart from a few unlucky ones, there have been no more casualties.
In contrast, the city was already full of mourning.
The two armies were fighting, and the gap between the two sides was so big that even Shen Cun, who was originally confident, could not help but feel desperate.The so-called all-out effort has become a ready-made joke. He has a premonition that when all the artillery on his side is exhausted, the rebels in the city gate will come out to harvest heads.
This battle must be lost, but he can't keep the news from spreading.At the very least, he must use his own life as a warning to those who come after him, and tell the court that this rebel must not be underestimated.
"The anti-thieves' firearms are very powerful, several times higher than those of the ministers. The ministers have no choice but to do their best to be loyal to the king..." Under the artillery fire, Shen Cun ignored the bloodstains wiped from his face, and sent the hastily written note to a relative. Bing stuffed his arms, and regardless of the hot tears on his face, he pushed and said, "Hurry up!"
With tears in his eyes, the soldier kowtowed heavily to the general who was determined to die, and turned around to complete his mission.
Seeing the guard leave in front of him, Shen Cun closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
I only hope that the emperor who is far away in the capital will see his death in battle, ignore his defeat and believe in what he said in the memorial.It wasn't that he was trying to evade it, it was that the rebels got such a sharp firearm out of nowhere, it was better than the one left by Ming before.
Dongfan has been dormant for decades, and has finally become a tiger that chooses people and devours them.
The sound of gunfire gradually stopped, and Shen Cun knew that it was no longer the time to lament that the imperial court was infested with tigers, so he straightened his clothes that had become untidy in the gunpowder smoke.Even if a soldier dies, he should die on the battlefield dignifiedly, instead of hiding in a tent. It is time to go out to meet his end.
Outside the camp, all the soldiers were downcast, and when they looked outside, they could see stumps and broken arms everywhere on the ground. Even if it was not the first time for Shen Cun to lead the army, the scene still looked miserable.
The sound of artillery fire on both sides has stopped, but compared to the tragic situation on their side, although the city walls of Fuzhou Mansion have become potholes in many places, they are still firm | including the tall vermilion nailed copper nails. the gate.
The giant door-slamming log that had been prepared did not come in handy, and was thrown aside alone.
The north gate of Fuzhou Mansion slowly opened.
Dai Quan had no choice but to hold back his sadness and said: "The old slave took a pill and took it anyway." Now he nodded.
He cleaned up the mess on the ground with his own hands, and then quietly stuffed the blood-stained handkerchief into the armhole, planning to burn it when he had time, so as not to be seen by others.Once the news of today's unfavorable health is spread, I'm afraid it will cause even more uproar.
Just after he got back from taking the pills, he poured another glass of osmanthus wine and took it now. Seeing that his complexion improved a little, he felt relieved.
"Go to the cabinet." Now that he felt a little better, he ordered.As soon as he finished speaking, he changed his mind and felt that there was no need to go to war, so he said, "Forget it, don't pass it on to them, pass it on to the Minister of the Household Department."
He was in a hurry just now, so he forgot that Xinghua Mansion was very close to Dongfan, and it was reasonable for Dongfan to attack there first when he rebelled.It's not worth it for a small mansion, so it's important to order the Fujian capital first to deploy defenses.Moreover, most of Zheng's army is navy, and the Guangdong navy has a total strength of [-] troops to hold back the big waves that can't be turned over.A small number of troops landing in Xinghua Mansion can wipe out the entire standing guard under the capital of Fujian.
The most urgent task at the moment is to find out how much food is still in the treasury. Although it is a disease of ringworm and scabies, it is also necessary to prevent inconsistencies.
Hubu Shangshu rushed over with a bitter face as soon as he heard the summons. His predecessor had already resigned because Lin Ruhai was under his command. As soon as he took office, he accepted such a mess.Because of getting close to Lin Ruhai, those former confidantes all went to prison.It's hard to find someone who works faster these days.
I don't know what the sudden summons are for today. Didn't I say before that the money and food to be prepared for the Dongfan matter can be delayed a little bit, and the money and food from the Guangzhou government can be used to pay for it?
No matter whether it is today or this temporary Hubu Shangshu, they still don't know that the largest Zhendongwei under the capital of Fujian has been wiped out. This news, which is one step later than the fall of Xinghua Mansion, is still on the way.The Fujian Xingdusi has summoned the Dinghai Office of Fuzhou Prefecture and led the [-] soldiers under his rule, which is called an army of [-], and marched towards the Fucheng of Fuzhou Prefecture in two routes.
Just halfway through, Master Shen, the commander of the capital, received the news that the prefect of Fuzhou Prefecture wanted to rebel in the whole city.His hand shook, and a long ink mark was drawn on the half-written memorial.
Distraught, he threw away the obsolete memorial. When the rebels broke Zhendongwei in the previous battle, he knew it was not good.The entire Fujian Xingdusi is governed by Zhenhaiwei, Yongningwei, and Zhendongwei. Each Weizhi has five thousand households under its jurisdiction.Now, the entire Zhendong Guard has been filled in, and the rebels will defend the city again. This battle must be a hard one.
Moreover, if this battle is won by the rebels, then it is conceivable that not to mention the entire Fuzhou Prefecture, the entire country may be shaken, while all horses in Fujian Province are silent, and there is no force that can resist the rebels.
He is now worried about whether his preparations are sufficient. It is said that the rebels have [-] elite soldiers, of which [-] are guarding Min County, which means that only [-] are in Fuzhou Prefecture.Thinking of this, he couldn't help scolding the magistrate for being as cowardly as a mouse, for being so frightened by a mere [-] soldiers, he made such a thing as surrendering the city.As long as he guards the city for a few more days, he can attack head to tail and completely keep the rebels under the city walls of Fuzhou Prefecture.
Thinking of this, his heart warmed up slightly, but the messenger soldier who was still kneeling on the ground poured a pot of cold water on his fantasies to cool down his heart.
Forget it, it's too late to summon other guards, it's really far away water can't save near fire.Shen Cun shook his head, put his own thoughts behind him, turned out a blank memorial, and started to write again with the ink full.
He thought for a while, but didn't write the news of Fuzhou prefect's surrender of the thief for the time being.In case, he fights back in this battle, he thought so.
The optimism of a Dusi who has never really fought against Lin Yu is understandable. After all, there is an entire court behind him. Since the founding of the dynasty for a hundred years, there have been endless anti-Jing and Ming Dynasty successes, and no one has ever heard of it. They are all suppressed down.Therefore, in the eyes of Master Shen, the destruction of the rebels is a matter of time, it's just whether he can get a share of this feast.
But before he had time to take over hand-to-hand combat, another round of artillery fire was fired by Hong Mingze's gradually gathering fleet as if he was tightening his pockets. Fang Jue pushed away the deputy who blocked himself from the shrapnel, and saw that he could see without binoculars. Qing's ship, the eyes are full of resentment and despair.
With such a trump card, why didn't the Zheng family use it earlier, so that he wouldn't surrender and rebel, for nothing, with a reputation of being ruthless and unrighteous.His eyes were tearing open, and he blamed all his faults on his opponent.
At this time, he could no longer imagine that when he left, he took away some of the firearms craftsmen and killed all the craftsmen who were unwilling to leave.If he still has some brains, he should know that these sharp weapons did not come from the Zheng family.At the beginning, Guo Xingye had such a magic weapon, how could he stop Ying Tianfu, so that his achievements fell short, which is a pity for a hundred years.
However, at this time, he was already a little confused by the sound of the cannon blasting again in his ears, and the only thing in his mind was that even if he died, he still had to bring a back pad.
He opened his eyes that were about to bleed, twisted his entire face, dragged the helmsman who was still alive, pointed in the direction of the approaching ship, and said fiercely: "Bump, let me hit you!"
Hong Mingze and the staff officers around him watched the doomed scene quietly. After a while, the little staff officer who counted the battle damage looked at the board in his hand, and then said: "The ammunition has been consumed by nearly [-]%. Commander, are you still fighting?" ?”
"The opponent's battle damage has already reached more than [-]%, and he has no fighting spirit. Let's stop." Hong Mingze is a veteran, and he almost broke into Yingtian Mansion with the Duke.He has a handy intuition and experience in war, "ready to accept the captives and take over the opponent's supply ship." Looking at the intact ships surrounded by the fleet, he laughed twice.
After winning the first battle, he could almost see himself walking sideways across the entire sea area in the future.Of course, it would be even better if he was lucky enough to continue fighting with the general until he reached Yingtian Mansion and even the capital.
After seeing the effect of the artillery, he was very emotional, and his heart was mixed with joy, bitterness, and indescribable.
"Commander, the other party has a ship heading straight for the main ship, do you want to fire!"
Hong Mingze's train of thought was interrupted, and when he took a closer look, there was indeed a ship with smoke coming from its ass. He realized something, raised his binoculars and saw that it wasn't Fang Jue who was steering the helm on the deck. Which again.There was also a sailor in livery lying down at his feet, it was obvious that he was unwilling to die and was killed by him.
"Fire the cannon!" He said blankly, and added, "Just don't tell him to rush over and hurt our treasure ship. As for the people on it, they will die if they want to die!"
Everyone saw that the clothes worn by the man at the helm showed his identity. Of course, Fang Jue didn't mean to hide it, he just wanted to make a last-ditch effort.
It's just that the sound of the cannon that shot up into the sky interrupted his luck again. Hearing the familiar sound, no matter how brave he was, the blows that the ship could bear were limited.Until the boat started to sink, he still couldn't touch Hong Mingze within ten feet.
Why do they have so many firearms? Fang Jue closed his eyes unwillingly with doubts on his mind.
His death did not cause much disturbance. This navy team had long since lost their fighting spirit. They even dropped their weapons with a sigh of relief after hearing that the admiral was dead and surrendered.
This was an unfair battle, but Hong Mingze didn't have the heart to think about it.After confirming Fang Jue's body in front of him, he laughed three times and cut off his head, sprinkled some quicklime on it, and immediately ordered someone to send it to the Prince's Mansion of Yanping County in Dongfan.At the same time, a victory report was sent to Xinghua Mansion, and then sent to Fuzhou Mansion from Xinghua Mansion.
Not to mention how Zheng Shao in Yanping County King's Mansion paid homage to his father and former brothers with tears in his eyes. When the news of the victory reached Fuzhou Mansion, Shen Cun also brought [-] soldiers to store at the north gate of Fuzhou Mansion.
Lin Yu smiled slightly after receiving the good news, and passed the good news on, asking the soldiers who were looking at him eagerly to see it with their own eyes.He picked up the battle damage attached with the victory report and looked at it.
None of the ships sank, and only seven were damaged, all of which could be repaired.This is already a frightening situation in today's era. If he wants to save face, he can boast about the great achievements of the Guangdong Navy without any damage.
In addition, the consumption of ammunition was less than 8000%, which was [-]% less than the planned [-]%.He also captured more than [-] prisoners, some Jing-made ammunition, some grain and grass, and not much silver, which was just over a thousand.
Not to mention other things, because of his strict control of soldiers, the grain and grass are enough for several months.That's all the silver taels, so many soldiers can't divide it much.On the contrary, the nearly [-] captives are a very valuable asset.
Lin Yu picked up a pen and commented: All the food and grass will be returned to Xinghua, and the ammunition and artillery will be sent to Beizhou for remodeling.When he wrote about the captives, he thought about it, and he couldn't send more than 3 people to one place, because it would easily cause mutiny.Then he continued to write: The captives were scattered, and [-] were sent to various places in Dongfan, and the prefect Bai made unified arrangements.The other [-] were sent to Xinghua Mansion, and the system was as usual.
The system of captives is not comparable to the common people, let alone the workers.Especially during the critical period when Lin Yu was still fighting the country, he didn't want to make any trouble because of these captives, but ruined his event.
Therefore, in terms of harshness, the prisoner's life was indeed harsh.They will be sent to various places, either to build roads, or to cast iron, and what is even more terrifying is to mine.Dongfan can have a steady stream of cast iron to make artillery and other sharp weapons because Qiongzhou Prefecture, which is later known as Hainan Province, has an iron mine there.It is also the famous Shilu Iron Mine in later generations.
The reserves of this iron ore are about 3 million tons, and it is a large open-pit mine.The iron ore produced is of high quality and high grade.The average grade is around 50.00%, and the highest can reach 60.00%.For Lin Yu, whose smelting technology is far from modern, this mine is tailor-made.
Therefore, as soon as he won Dongfan, he immediately sent someone to Qiongzhou Mansion.The only thing he can do is to occupy the mountain as king.Anyway, Qiongzhou Mansion is far away from the central government. In the eyes of everyone in the capital, it is poor and bad, and it is especially easy to produce troublesome people.
There is such an important iron mine in such a place, but no one has discovered it until Lin Yu came.
No matter how tense the staff was, Lin Yu still dispatched an army, disguised as bandits, and entrenched on the mountain named Jinniuling in later generations, but now temporarily unknown.He didn't even need to bribe local officials, because the mine was located in the later Li Autonomous Region, which is now Changhua County.
The local Li people are heavy, and the so-called officials basically have no rights, as long as they have a good relationship with the local aborigines.They were not very interested in the stones that Lin Yu's men carried away, but were full of curiosity about the fishing nets and other tools they occasionally brought over.
Later, the captain made a decisive decision, gave them the strong fishing nets he took to catch fish and occasionally improved their food, and taught them how to catch more fish and grow more food. The officers seemed to be the guests of the local Li people.
Because of Lin Yu's warning in advance, these soldiers who hired local guides never had any misunderstandings when they got along with the local natives with different customs.
And the traitors cleared out by Dongfan at the beginning became the first batch of captives trapped in the mine and never saw the light of day.Guaranteeing the continuous production of guns in Beizhou, it is estimated that most of the [-] captives will continue to fill this deep pit this time.
The luckiest ones were the eight thousand who stayed in Xinghua Mansion, and they would be sent by Lin Yu to do some work like road construction. Even if it was heavier, it was actually nothing compared to the government's corvee.At least, Lin Yu still took care of their two meals a day.Of course there is no salary, but if you perform well, you can be promoted to be a small boss, not to mention getting rid of heavy work, and you can also receive some meager money.
Lin Yu considered whether it is necessary to completely take down the Qiongzhou Mansion now. The original consideration was to postpone it. After all, the court's attitude towards that side is obvious to all.However, after thinking about it, he still decided to separate 1 people from the navy to control the entire Qiongzhou.
This iron mine is too important to him to allow for loss.The news cannot be concealed sooner or later, it is better to leave it in the palm of your own hand earlier to feel at ease.As for how to govern that place, military control will not work.However, haven't my rabbits in future generations already given the answer?
The autonomous region is a good thing. With the communication of roads in the future, the younger generation in the mountains will gradually go out, and Huaxia will not be a problem.And the [-] sailors are partly deterrent, and more importantly, protect the sea route between Qiongzhou Prefecture and Dongfan.
Even if the Guangdong Navy has completely fallen, he is unwilling to gamble on any possibility of losing the mine.
Lin Yu pulled another piece of paper, which was different from the one he wrote on just now.This kind of paper is specially used to write military orders, and the orders on it have also been coded to a certain extent, so that only generals in the army can understand them.
But in this way, Dong Fan will stay at [-], and gradually increase in the future, that is, [-].The [-] can't move easily, plus the [-] fleet patrolling in various sea areas.The reinforcements that can be added on land are only Hong Mingze's [-], which is a little less.
It seemed that after the situation in Fujian Province stabilized, the first thing he would do was to recruit soldiers.As for the eight thousand captives, he had no intention of reorganizing them.Firstly, he needs these free labors; secondly, these people are quite thorny, even if they want to reorganize, it is not now.
However, the training of recruits is also a big problem. Although there are no more requirements for military appearance and military appearance, it takes a month of training to meet the prohibition before leaving.Moreover, these people have basically never touched a gun, and everything starts from scratch.
All in all, the main force in the first battle still depends on the [-] soldiers in his hands.
Order the left army commander Hong Mingze to lead his army to land in Quanzhou Prefecture and conquer Yongningwei as soon as possible.After Lin Yu finished writing the last sentence, she took out her military seal, dipped it in a little cinnabar, and pressed it heavily at the end of the sentence.
After the ink was dry, Lin Yu carefully folded up the general order and handed it to the herald beside him.
At this time, the tent has been immersed in a joyful atmosphere. They saw Lin Yu writing something seriously before and they still tried not to talk much. When he put down the pen in his hand, they will follow you one by one to lift the ban. I started to speak in a word.
Lin Yu didn't want to sweep their troubles either. The destruction of the Guangdong Navy brought extraordinary significance. In terms of the impact on the overall situation, it can be said that it was greater than their conquest of Fuzhou.
Few of the generals present were stupid, so they naturally knew what it meant for the entire coastal area to be open to them.Even if the imperial court wants to rebuild the navy at this time, it is already impossible to do so.
It's not that they don't want to, but that Dongfan, a powerful army on the sea, won't let them succeed.We can destroy as many ships as we build.Moreover, as the range of the artillery equipped on the navy increases and the firepower increases, the gap gradually widens.
Controlling the sea area is equivalent to choking the imperial court's throat, making them no longer able to achieve the purpose of transportation or even rushing to help by sea.
On the contrary, Lin Yu could get supplies directly from the sea anytime and anywhere.
"Since the good news is announced, then spread it to make everyone happy. Don't drink wine, but eat meat." Lin Yu said with a smile, walked a few steps in, stood still, and said, "By the way, don't forget In order to tell Mr. Shen outside, let him be happy together."
All the officers and soldiers looked at each other and agreed.
As soon as Lin Yu left, several people immediately scrambled over who would be the messenger. After fighting with each other and waving their fists, a big and round Qianhu won this honor.
Although the group was unwilling, they still followed him up the city wall.
"Did something happen inside?" There was a bang on the city wall, and because they were far away, Shen Cun and the others couldn't tell whether it was cheers or an uproar, so they stretched their necks to listen carefully. .
It's a pity that the voice stopped after only a while, with an extremely restrained look.
"Look at their stupid looks." Qianhu, who was holding a binoculars, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Take the bow and see if I don't scare them!"
The crowd laughed badly together. Many of these thousands of households in the Chinese army were from Lin Yu's Zhuangzi, and most of them were in their twenties.This is when Maotou Xiaozi was lively, usually in the barracks in front of this group of hundreds of households who were a circle older than them, he pretended to be calm one by one.There is such a good thing today, but it's not all revealed.
While regretting that he didn't grab this opportunity, he held up a telescope and stared at the city, urging: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up."
This time, Mr. Shen outside the city will not have the treatment that Lin Yu wrote to persuade him to surrender.Take a thin piece of paper and write something annoying and wrap it around the arrow.That Qianhu weighed the weight that had hardly changed much, half-closed his eyes, and the strong muscles on his arms bulged.
He aimed at the people below the city and moved his hand. When he saw the big flag with the word Shen, a gust of bad water suddenly rose up, and said, "You guys say, how about I shoot down their big flag?"
When everyone heard it, this method was really damaging, but it was exciting.Someone laughed and said: "If you can hit the flagpole, our brothers will treat you to a meal for ten days."
"Ten days are shorter, one month."
"to make!"
As soon as the words fell, the arrow shot straight away like a meteor chasing the moon.
The people below the city heard a thud, and before they could react, they heard another burst of cheers from above the city wall.
"I really don't know what these rebels are doing." Someone whispered, and he turned his head to show his disdain.However, turning his head halfway, he saw an unbelievable sight.I saw him grow his mouth |, pointing in one direction, trembling endlessly, "Big, big banner!"
"I think you're the one with a broken head. I haven't seen anything before." Seeing his appearance, his companion couldn't help laughing, "Isn't it Daqi?"
Then he asked the man to slap the back of the head, and his voice finally became smoother, and he said loudly: "It's the big flag, why don't you open your dog's eyes to see." Then he kicked the joke again. One foot.
The man opened his eyes wide, and when he was about to kick back, he followed the direction he pointed and saw an arrow tied to the flagpole, and even the pole was a little crooked.He immediately forgot the revenge of the kick, and stared straight at the other side speechlessly.
Soon, most of the barracks saw it.
It is unknown to collect the flag before the battle, even if the opponent has already shot the flagpole, but if you just turn the flagpole down and pull out the arrow, you will definitely be laughed at by the rebels.
It took them a lot of people to stabilize the flagpole, and then they set up a ladder and pulled out the arrow.
Listening to the sound of laughter on the city wall, they knew that they were still being laughed at.Shen Cunqing's face was dark, and he tightly grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand, so he gave the order to attack the city without impulse.
He felt that this was the opponent's aggressive method.
"What a bunch of idiots." Seeing them struggling around the flagpole to take down the arrow branches, the thousands of households on the city wall laughed enough, Fang said, "You can get the arrow branches by turning the flagpole across, it has to be like this trouble!"
"You thought it was you, with such a straight mind." Another person said, "Isn't it unknown before the battle? Of course, stupid is really stupid. We shot it up, and then asked someone to shoot the arrow down That’s fine, it’s not that embarrassing.”
Under the city, Shen Cun was also furious at his subordinates like this.Panting and driving away the subordinates who made him spray blood, he took the arrow with a look of disgust and took off the paper on it.
As soon as he glanced at it, the provocative words from above made his eyes red again.Immediately, the news of the annihilation of the Guangdong Navy made him pale.No matter how he comforted himself, this was just a tactic for the rebels to delay their attack, but the hesitation deep in his heart was not so easy to let him go.
This is the human heart, no matter how unwilling to believe it, you will never be able to control yourself.
He stood up with a swipe, he needed a big victory, so that he could settle down, and more importantly, improve the morale that was a bit sluggish in today's encounter.
"Send down the order and prepare to attack the city."
Shen Cun boasted that it would take an hour or two for an order to be enforced.Fortunately, the Fuzhou mansion that arrived last night, the soldiers have almost rested.Even if it was a bit sluggish because of the arrow just now, it is still usable overall.
Following his words, the people in the city didn't care about the arrow, and started to move one after another.
Such a movement that could not be concealed was immediately noticed by the thousands of households who were already observing them.
"They're moving, and they're going to attack the city." The leader hurriedly said, "Everyone return to their posts, there must be no mistakes." He said to a soldier beside him, "Hurry up and report to the general."
The crowd immediately put away the smiles on their faces, and became the taciturn and convincing general again, and they turned around and left.
When Lin Yu came, he bumped into the pawn who was going to report, and he led him up the city wall.
"This is about to attack the city." Lin Yu looked at the situation on the other side, and smiled, "Looking at the posture, let's say less and prepare for a while, which is not much different from what was expected. Don't be nervous, just follow the plan, If you haven’t eaten, eat first, I’ll watch over here.”
That Qianhu responded with a particularly excited yes, then turned and left.
"General Lin's prestige in the army is at its peak!" Qi Zhifu said with emotion. He only found out some time ago that it was true that Dong Fan sent troops, but many generals were under Lin Yu's subordinates.Moreover, the Zheng family did not show up at all, and there was no one in the barracks who had anything to do with the Zheng family.
The one who steals the hook punishes the one who steals the country, that is to say, the one who has the appearance of a prince is the young man in front of him who has not yet been crowned weak.
Lin Yu smiled but said nothing, pointing at the soldiers who were in a hurry below, said: "If all the soldiers in the imperial court are so useless, it will not take me a few years to drive them back from where they came from. gone."
After a pause, he said, "No, it should be further north."
The prefect of Qi thought for a while, and realized that he really had no idea about the places further north, and said, "There are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital, which can be used for a battle." He recalled what he had heard before, and said , "Those are all Mongolian soldiers when they entered the customs, and they are the most fierce."
Lin Yu laughed loudly and said: "These people have long since rotted in the colorful world of the capital, and many of the weapons they used were left over from the previous Ming Dynasty." As he spoke, he showed a mocking smile, "Foreigners used to offer sacrifices. I bought a lot of firearms, but they all ended up in the emperor's private treasury, except for the occasional take out|to play with, never see the light of day."
"It's cheaper for you, isn't it?" Qi Zhifu said boldly. He found that there was never much distance between Lin Yu, who is a general, and the soldiers.And I never blame them because they speak aggressively. The etiquette in the military camp is not a salute to the superior as a subordinate, but more like a simple form. No, it is not a formality, but a form. kind of respect.Yes, respect each other.
Having figured this out, he was stunned for a moment. Looking at Lin Yu's side face, he suddenly didn't understand what this person was thinking.
Lin Yu didn't think it was a stick, and said, "It's really cheap for me." He looked at the busy crowd underground, and said, "However, as long as their firearms can't be mass-produced, no matter how good they are, it won't matter."
The magistrate of Qi obviously thought of Lin Yu's one-handed gun, his cheeks twitched, and he felt rich and powerful in his heart, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will follow suit and equip the soldiers with guns? ?”
Lin Yu said lightly: "Of course I'm not afraid. As for why, you will understand in a while."
Sure enough, after an hour of direct calling, the prefect of Qi deeply understood how wise his decision was amidst the sound of artillery fire all over the sky.
The so-called understanding is all piled up with human lives. It is the first time he has seen so many people die at the same time, and it is also the first time he has seen an army that can order and move in a uniform order, as if it has been rehearsed thousands of times. The shells in his hand were shot out.
The positions below the city are obviously not as well-trained as this side, although they are also working hard to speed up the speed.But compared with the well-trained people on this side, who don't have much chance to practice at ordinary times, it's a world of difference.
On the battlefield, sometimes a second is the difference between life and death, not to mention the fact that the weapons themselves are not equal!
Qin Xia angrily pushed the head of this bold magistrate from the city wall. The city wall of Fuzhou City is not very high, so even if the enemy's artillery fire is not intensive, the accuracy is pitifully low, but occasionally it will Two jumped up.Cannonballs that entered the crowd would cause casualties, even if they were not shells that could be exploded by Lin Yu's side, at best they were solid stone balls.
However, the stone ball is also very fatal under the driving force of gunpowder and the acceleration of gravity.
It was not without reason that Shen Cun felt that he had made sufficient preparations, and he brought all the firearms he could mobilize.Even if Lin Yu's side killed some of them in the first round of volley, but the quality was insufficient to make up for it in quantity, the opponent's firearms would continue to cause damage to the city wall before they completely killed the artillery.
This is also the reason why Lin Yu insisted on marching quickly to make up the time difference. With the protection of the city wall, the loss of his elite soldiers can be further reduced.At least, so far, apart from a few unlucky ones, there have been no more casualties.
In contrast, the city was already full of mourning.
The two armies were fighting, and the gap between the two sides was so big that even Shen Cun, who was originally confident, could not help but feel desperate.The so-called all-out effort has become a ready-made joke. He has a premonition that when all the artillery on his side is exhausted, the rebels in the city gate will come out to harvest heads.
This battle must be lost, but he can't keep the news from spreading.At the very least, he must use his own life as a warning to those who come after him, and tell the court that this rebel must not be underestimated.
"The anti-thieves' firearms are very powerful, several times higher than those of the ministers. The ministers have no choice but to do their best to be loyal to the king..." Under the artillery fire, Shen Cun ignored the bloodstains wiped from his face, and sent the hastily written note to a relative. Bing stuffed his arms, and regardless of the hot tears on his face, he pushed and said, "Hurry up!"
With tears in his eyes, the soldier kowtowed heavily to the general who was determined to die, and turned around to complete his mission.
Seeing the guard leave in front of him, Shen Cun closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
I only hope that the emperor who is far away in the capital will see his death in battle, ignore his defeat and believe in what he said in the memorial.It wasn't that he was trying to evade it, it was that the rebels got such a sharp firearm out of nowhere, it was better than the one left by Ming before.
Dongfan has been dormant for decades, and has finally become a tiger that chooses people and devours them.
The sound of gunfire gradually stopped, and Shen Cun knew that it was no longer the time to lament that the imperial court was infested with tigers, so he straightened his clothes that had become untidy in the gunpowder smoke.Even if a soldier dies, he should die on the battlefield dignifiedly, instead of hiding in a tent. It is time to go out to meet his end.
Outside the camp, all the soldiers were downcast, and when they looked outside, they could see stumps and broken arms everywhere on the ground. Even if it was not the first time for Shen Cun to lead the army, the scene still looked miserable.
The sound of artillery fire on both sides has stopped, but compared to the tragic situation on their side, although the city walls of Fuzhou Mansion have become potholes in many places, they are still firm | including the tall vermilion nailed copper nails. the gate.
The giant door-slamming log that had been prepared did not come in handy, and was thrown aside alone.
The north gate of Fuzhou Mansion slowly opened.
