Where did the Qing army get this artillery?

As the director of the European Firearms Museum, Zhu Youlang knew very well that the artillery used by the Qing army was not a red-coat cannon, but a Tessie-style cannon.

Strictly speaking, this is a Frankie cannon.

Now the Frankians that the Qing army can reach should be the Portuguese in the trenches of Guangdong, so these cannons should have been obtained from the Portuguese...

Zhu Youlang instantly understood.

This is not the cannon of the Jiangxi Green Battalion, but a cannon that is still gratifying!

Hong Chengchou saw that the red-coated artillery could not suppress the Ming army, so he wanted to use the Portuguese cannon to put out the fire.

It's just that this is too small, right?

After all, Zhu Youlang still has a trump card in his hand at the moment, that is Shang Zhixin!

"Come on, bring Shang Zhixin up! And those Shang family soldiers prisoners! ”

In the Battle of Yichun, the Shang family army suffered heavy casualties. Half of the soldiers were killed in battle, and the rest were tied up by the Ming army and marched with the army.

Considering that these Shang family soldiers and Shang Zhixin were still valuable, Zhu Youlang did not order them to be executed.

Isn't the value reflected now?

His Majesty the Emperor gave an order, and the soldiers of the Ming army immediately pushed Shang Zhixin and the soldiers of the Shang family army out.

It's just that they are all tied hand and foot, and it is extremely difficult to move.

These guys were pushed near the breastwork by the Ming army, and they all trembled.

It's impossible not to tremble in such a situation.

After all, from time to time artillery fire was thrown at them.

A Franky cannonball exploded a few steps near Shang Zhixin, so frightened that Shang Zhixin subconsciously fell backwards, and he shouted hoarsely: "Father is me, it's me!" Don't fight, don't fight again! ”

A group of Shang family soldiers also shouted.

"Don't fight anymore!"

They were tied hand and foot, knowing that they couldn't run, so they pinned all their hopes on Shang Kexi.

They hope that the old prince can stop fighting for the sake of His Royal Highness the prince.

Isn't it good for them to go back to Guangdong to live their lives in peace?

Shang Kexi, who was on the other side, didn't notice it at first, until he saw the familiar flag, and his heart chuckled.

Isn't that the banner of his Shang family's army?

Gradually, he found that there were many bound people standing in front of the Ming army's camp.

Although it was not clear, it was obvious that these were prisoners.

"Take the king's telescope."

When he was in Guangdong before, Governor Franky gave Shang Kexi a monocular.

Shang Kexi liked it very much, so he took this telescope with him.

This time I went to Jiangxi and the telescope still did not leave.

Shang Kexi gave an order, and immediately a personal soldier took the telescope.

"Lord Wang, here you go."

Shang Kexi grabbed the binoculars and then squinted one eye to look.

The people in front of him instantly magnified several times, and he could clearly see the ropes tied to these people.

It can be seen from their cheerful demeanor that they are very alarmed.

In the process of moving, Shang Kexi suddenly found a person standing at the front. This man is his son Shang Zhixin!

Although Shang Zhixin was disgraced, unkempt, and disheveled, Shang Kexi still recognized him at a glance.

This is his son, after all!

At this moment, it is still gratifying, and old tears are rampant.

My son is not dead, my son is not dead!

This is his carefully cultivated successor, the heir of the Prince of Pingnan!

It's good that my son isn't dead!

"Stop fighting, what else to fight! Stop it! ”

Shang Kexi instinctively shouted. The whole book

If you continue to bombard him rashly like this, you can't just bomb his precious son to death!

Under Shang Kexi's order, the artillery of the Shang family army immediately stopped.

This round of shelling came to an abrupt end, which surprised Hong Chengchou.

"What does King Pingnan mean?"

"Hong Jingluo, the son of this king is not dead yet! You can't fight any more, or you'll kill him." ”

Hong Chengchou is still happy and does not hide it.

In his opinion, Hong Chengchou can understand.

Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou sneered and said: "King Yingming I of Pingnan, how can he be confused when it is critical." Ling Shizi has already died in battle, how can he be alive. ”

"Hong Jingluo, how can what this king has seen with his own eyes be fake? This Tessie telescope can magnify objects several times, and this king can see it with his own eyes! ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "What kind of telescope, it's just nonsense. Explain again, the army only needs to find someone who looks like Ling Shizi to stand in front of the army to be confused. Wang Sizi of Pingnan will think that it is your son. ”

Shang Ke was pleased to see that Hong Chengchou was messing around, and he didn't admit that Shang Zhixin was still alive at all, and he was a little anxious for a while.

"What does this mean? Don't you think the old man is already dazed? ”

"This scripture is slightly thinking that King Pingnan should cheer up and focus on the overall situation."

Hearing this, Shang Kexi has already understood.

Hong Chengchou didn't care about Shang Zhixin's life or death at all.

Or that Hong Chengchou wished that Shang Zhixin was dead.

In this way, Shang Kexi can devote himself to the battle and will no longer have to worry.

But Shang Zhixin is alive now, so Hong Chengchou can only insist that what Shang Kexi sees is a fake!

Hehe, what a vicious old horseman!

After seeing through Hong Chengchou's true thoughts, Shang Kexi already had a plan in his heart.

In any case, he couldn't put his son's safety at risk, not to mention that there were thousands of family soldiers.

If he now ordered the artillery to kill these soldiers, what would the other soldiers think?

Those veterans who followed him all the way must be chilled, right?

Shang Zhixin is a very emotional person, and it is impossible for him to ignore everything.

After thinking about it again, Shang Kexi still said to Hong Chengchou: "Hong Jingluo, this battle can't be fought by this king." There must be a truce first. ”

Hong Chengchou was stupid when he heard this.

What do you mean?

Is this a flagrant disobedience to his orders?

At least Hong Chengchou is nominally the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.

Shang Kexi's blatant rejection of him is simply a slap in the face!

Hitting him in the face of Hong Chengchou is to slap the face of the court and the face of the emperor.

He Hong Chengchou can be shameless, but the emperor and the court can't be shameless!

"King Pingnan, you have to think clearly! Do you know what you're talking about? ”

Hong Chengchou now somewhat believes what Zhang Chaoxuan said to him last night.

Maybe from the beginning, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao didn't want to really contribute.

The two led their troops to reinforce Jiangxi, but they were forced by form and pressure.

Actually, they just wanted to pretend.

This point was vividly demonstrated by Shang Kexi after learning that his son was not dead!

Shang Kexi even refused to go to war and asked for a postponement!

The arrow has to be sent on the string, how can it be stopped.

What's more, what if Hong Chengchou stops and the Ming army doesn't stop?

Could it be that Hong Chengchou watched the Ming army beat him, but didn't fight back?

This really him off!
