"Your grandfather Nurhachi is just a personal soldier of Uncle Li's family in Tieling, and my general's uncle is the authentic descendant of the Li family in Tieling! According to the rules of your Manchurian barbarians, when you see the old master, you dare to be so presumptuous?! ”

"If you want to fight, you will fight! My general said that although he is not as good as my young marshal, he can train the people of the mountains and forests into an elite who dares to charge with artillery, but there is also an elite soldier by his side, and it is more than enough to beat you! Just fight! ”

Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers opened their voices, exposing all the private stories of the Nurhachi family that they did not want to talk about in broad daylight. However, it can be regarded as Li Huabao's mouth, and he did not publicize the lingering and touching emotional entanglements between Nurhachi's mother Hitara and Li Chengliang, or the behavior that the masses with a relatively low level of appreciation are very happy to see. During this incident, when the brothers were in adolescence, they listened to the second uncle who had no discipline, and the eyebrows were flying, and the words were pointing and drawing, and the brothers were all red-faced.

However, these words are also extremely shady and mean in the eyes of the Qing army. There is a way to beat people, don't slap people in the face, scold people, don't expose shortcomings. You Li Huabao in front of hundreds of thousands of people to expose the situation of being a slave in your family before others made a fortune, this, not very good? After all, no one has Zhu Yuanzhang's psychological quality, so he clearly told the world that Lao Tzu was born in hardship, and he didn't even have a cemetery when his father died, he was a monk, he wanted to eat, and he walked to the emperor's throne step by step as a personal soldier. If this is placed in Millican, he will definitely be the inspirational actor of the drama who has been established as a personal struggle like Lincoln and Carter. It's a pity that in the mouths of some conscientious young historical inventors, he is called the Eight of Thieves.

Among the Green Banner soldiers present, the officers had more or less heard about the history of the struggle of the Qing Emperor's family, and also knew how the Nurhachi family gradually changed from a local official in a small border area to a great disaster in Liaodong, and finally became the master of the throne in Beijing. Today, after listening to the loud propaganda of the Hongwu Army on the other side, many officers suddenly realized!

"It turns out that the so-called thirteen pairs of armor raised troops or something, and there is no other inside story! Thinking about what Uncle Li and Li Chengliang did back then, it was similar to how we sent our subordinates out to pretend to be thieves and rob homes and houses! Let your subordinates go out to toss, the tossing movement is small, you can get rich, the movement is big, you can just ask the court for military salaries and officials, and after the matter is finished, you can report to the court for victory! Otherwise, a Danu boy whose grandfather and father were killed, where can he find thirteen pairs of armor?! ”

In the old Ming Dynasty, it was okay to have artillery at home, but it was not allowed to hide armor privately. Therefore, a dignitary who has just killed his grandfather and father, the origin of these thirteen pairs of armor is very suspicious.

"Hey, hey! A Tusi official has so much armor in his family, and Lao Tzu has also been a hereditary position for several generations, and there are not so many fully armored family members! A general laughed in his heart, "It turns out that there is something else!" "Thanks to the popularity of all kinds of glamorous feelings since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with what these officers and generals do on weekdays, pushing themselves and others, many people have begun to make up for the various episodes that may occur when Nurhachi is a personal soldier.

"Li Huabao! You son of a! ”

Bolo's face was blue for a while, white and red, and he was scolded in public for the disgraceful private past of your ancestor, this kind of treatment was even more excessive than Li Huabao repeatedly slapping his big mouth in front of him. Over the years, the elders in the family have told him how his grandfather and father fought hard to get this foundation, and he also worked hard for this foundation, fighting everywhere day and night. However, the palace in his heart was turned into rubble by Li Huabao's words, with sludge, dirty water and dust all over the ground, and rats and cockroaches were rampant.

"Drumming! Herald! Artillery team fires! General Ben must get the head of Li Huabao's dog barbarian today! ”

The thunderous sound of the drums was densely beaten by several bare-chested drummers with drumsticks in their hands, and the sound of a huge war drum made of a whole cowhide dispersed the last bit of rain in the sky, and the sun finally revealed its true face.

After the artillery team was busy for a while, there was a deafening sound of artillery, and the ten Shenwei general cannons roared one after another, spewing out thick white smoke and thick smoke and dust in front of them, instantly covering the thick figures of each artillery.

Ten guns of more than ten catties roared and rushed towards the county seat of Shanghai in the distance!

In the Qing army's front, more than 100,000 people intently followed the trajectory of these shells.

These heavy guns of theirs, because of the use of four-wheel grinding disc gun carriages, digging pits and piling, so after the artillery is fixed, it can only move the angle of the muzzle up and down, and it is difficult to move left and right, that is to say, the artillery only has a high and low machine, and there is no direction machine. The trajectory of the shells was relatively fixed, and the range of the first round of artillery was quite critical.

As the first shell landed on the city wall, a burst of cheers erupted in the Qing army's formation.

The starter hits, and the first is the first to strike. What's more, these Shenwei General Cannons still have the mission to conduct test firing for the artillery team of the whole army. To this end, Bolo deliberately sent the strongest artillery lineup under his command, and the gunners transferred from Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan!

As the first shell landed on the wall of Shanghai County, it only took a moment for the deafening sound of artillery on the positions of the large and small artillery units of the Qing army, and waves of large and small iron balls rushed to the Hongwu Army's position.

The Qing army first fired one cannon at the same time as ten Shenwei generals, and then every dozen or so artillery pieces as a unit, and the large and small artillery pieces were fired in batches according to the firing range and the weight of the cannons, so as to suppress the Hongwu army artillery at the head of the city and outside the city.

At the head of the city, heavy solid iron balls bounced on the city walls, smashing smoke and dust all the way, and rolling with blood and light. However, there was no artillery fire to return fire from the city, and there was no sharp tooth scolding. It seems that the dense artillery fire of the Qing army made the officers and soldiers of the Hongwu Army lose their ideas for a while and are confused.

"Humph! No matter how strong a hero you are, no matter what kind of city you have, just put a hundred Hongyi cannons in a line and bombard them for a few days, I'm afraid that you won't surrender?! ”

The weapon of criticism is far less effective than the weapon of criticism. Only one round of artillery fire made the head of Shanghai County dumb. General Bolo of Pingnan expressed his satisfaction. In his opinion, this small seaside city, as long as the artillery bombardment is half a day, the army can cover the past, "Li Huabao, either you die in battle, or you jump into the sea and escape!" Bolo arranged two options for Li Huabao.

The county seat of Shanghai was built in the 32nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, it was originally used to "prepare for the Japanese", the city circumference is nine miles, the city wall is two zhang high and four ends, the size of the six city gates, the southeast and northwest four gates, named Chaozong, across the sea, Yifeng, Yanhai, in addition there are two gates of treasure belt and chaoyang, commonly known as the small east gate, the small south gate. Because it was close to the river and sea, the Qing army only needed to attack the city walls on both sides of the west and north, leaving the east and south. Of course, that side is the trade area that everyone in the Qing army covets, and inside it is the essence of the land where the wealth of the southeast has been accumulated. It is said that the ground is covered with gold and silver, the trees are wrapped in silk, the grain is piled up like a mountain, and the liquor flows into a river.

"Invest 50,000 soldiers and horses at a time, and the general will not believe it, this small county town can't be taken!" Bolo made up his mind, even if he used the corpses of these 50,000 people to fill in, he would fill the trench outside the city of Shanghai, and even if he used 50,000 corpses to pile up, he would pile up a passage into the city of Shanghai.

On the river, more than a dozen fast crab ships can clearly distinguish the gender of the sailors standing on the deck of Li Huamei's fleet, but their facial features and appearance cannot be distinguished.

"Almost, all ships loaded!" A flag waved, and the guns raised on the bracket between the main mast and the foremast on the fast crab ships were lifted by the gunners who pulled out the cap of the gun, removed the feather tube at the fire door, and began to load with a long bougie, and the lead bullet weighing nearly two taels was stuffed into the three-meter-long gun, and it was carefully built with a bougie to prevent the gunpowder from not being in good contact with the projectile, resulting in the inability to give full play to the medicinal power.

On both sides of the gun-bearer, eight sword and shield soldiers held rattan cards to cover the left and right, guarding the gun-bearer. They also have a role to play, which is to act as a picker for the jumping gang to climb.

In addition to the sails on the mast, more than a dozen wooden oars stretched out from the planks on both sides, and the oarsmen were sweating like rain and paddling hard to the shouts of the officers. This design came from the Portuguese among the Dengzhou soldiers under Kong Youde. They dedicated the design of the Calais galleys, and were presented to the regent Dolgon, by Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan. Dolgon ordered the construction of shipyards in Lianghuai, Jining and other places. The wood is made of pine, which is naturally not a good wood, but the concept of the top and bottom is the same: "As long as this ship is easy to use in the estuary of the river and can catch up and fight, as for how long it can be used, it can withstand the artillery fire, that is the personal creation of these sailors!" "Rao is like this, this fast crab boat, fully equipped, also costs more than 2,000 silver dollars.

With the help of the wind and the frenzied swinging of the long wooden oars by the oarsmen, more than a dozen fast crabs have rushed into the formation of the fleet.

The officer at the head ordered to carry the transport, narrowed his eyes and looked at the distance between the two fleets, "Six hundred steps,"

"Four hundred and fifty steps!"

This distance is far beyond the effective lethal range of the gun, and even if it fires, it will only scratch the itch for warships such as the Aomei.

"Four hundred steps!"

"Three hundred and fifty steps! Attention ships! Rack guns! ”

At his command, the gunners of the ships, the front marksman, straightened the shoulder pads sewn from cotton cloth on their shoulders, and made a lunge, with their feet firmly fixed on the plank, and a wide cloth strap that held the gun-carrying barrel tightly together with his shoulders.

"Aim!"

As he spoke, the distance between the two fleets was shortened to more than two hundred paces, which was within the effective range of the raised guns. The gunners held the butts of their guns and took advantage of the height difference between the former shooters and their own to aim at the deck of the Hongwu warship, searching for valuable targets to shoot.

"Miss! The boats of the Qing army rushed in! Please take a moment's notice! The fathead fish pulled Li Huamei and tried to pull her into the cabin to avoid the edge for a while.

"This is the gun-carrying boat of the Qing army. The order went down, and the official's eldest brother died at the hands of these dog thieves, and the official did not retreat, so as not to give these dog thieves the money to talk about. If you want to keep the official safe, then send these dog thieves to the official to feed the pig Polong! Li Huamei had a murderous mask in her eyes, and it was really the momentum of a scarlet-winged tiger!

Li Huamei herself is the daughter of Liang Guogong, the county lord who was certified and canonized by the imperial court when Emperor Chongzhen was alive, although she changed the dynasty several times, but her title was not affected at all, but with the improvement of Li Shouhan's status, she was constantly added to the honor guard and so on. However, what Li Huamei cares about most is her own messenger, the commander of the Hongwu Army's naval division. This is an envoy who is not within the official system of the imperial court.

Moreover, in the face of the title of the captain of her own soldiers, she calls herself an official and does not think that I am your eldest lady, which is already very illustrative of her attitude. On the Aomei of this official, there is no county lord Niangniang, and there is no eldest lady of Liang Guogong Li Shouhan, only your chief Li Huamei! And she mentioned Li Huayu, who died young because of carrying a gun, which is the bitter hatred of the entire Hongwu military system.

"Please rest assured! Today is the day to avenge your uncle! The markers will definitely make these ships not return! Lan Wanzhong, the gunnery officer of the Aomei, had his eyes wide open, almost bursting into flames. He also replied to Li Huamei as a title in the army.

"All guns in place!"

"Ready!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

Li Huamei's fleet and Ehri's fast crab fleet gave the order to open fire almost simultaneously.

For a time, two or two heavy gun-lifting projectiles and more than one or two artillery shotguns were crisscrossed on the river, and the fight was very lively. On the fast crab boat, sailors and oarsmen were constantly hit by shotguns and turned over and fell into the water, and large clumps of blood rose in the river, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. On the deck of the warship, from time to time, sailors were hit by lead bullets from their guns, and they looked at the expanding blood stains on their chests and abdomen in dismay. Others lay in pools of blood, screaming terribly. The lead bullet from the spear struck them in the arm, shattering them to pieces, leaving some broken limbs beside them.

"Hit! Hit hard! ”

"Hit! Fight well! Glory and wealth are made of silver! "Officers on both sides are desperately trying to motivate their men.

After a round of shooting, the disadvantages of the fast crab boat became apparent. This kind of ship is fast, but there are almost no protective measures, and it is condescendingly pressed and beaten by the ships of the Hongwu Army. At a distance of one or two hundred paces, although it is said to be the best range of the gun, it is also the killing range of the Hongwu Army's artillery shotguns. The gun emplacements on the gunboats were guarded by deck decks, and unless lead bullets flew directly into the gun holes, it was difficult to kill the gunners. However, those shotguns are different against the sword and shield soldiers and gunmen on the fast crab ship. The shotguns flying everywhere in all directions have caused a lot of psychological pressure on the gun-bearers who are trying to reload after a shot, and many gun-bearers are terrified. The unfortunate soldiers on the ship who were hit by a shotgun and fell to the ground and wailed, adding strong psychological pressure to them, and their hands and feet became more and more slow.

"Throw the rope net, get ready to jump the gang!" Seeing that his casualties were increasing, almost one-sided, Ling Jiaoyun immediately ordered each ship to throw rope nets, preparing to let those sword and shield soldiers jump into the gang and use the big swords and axes in their hands to kill and injure the sailors on the gunboat.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Streams of water splashed between the fast crab ship and the Hongwu warship, and from far and near, dozens of Qing army ships, under the command of Eheri's towing ship, approached Li Huamei's Aomei and opened fire.

These sand boats are the main fleet of the Qing army's naval division.

They were equipped with a variety of guns on a ship, although most of them were arranged in the bow and stern, but they were better than the ship. Moreover, they also have skilled observers, who can calculate the number of shots and arrange how many medicine packs to fill. Although the medicine bag is not as luxurious as the Hongwu Army, it uses a coarse silk medicine bag with castor cocoons, but it is also a cotton medicine bag. In addition to telescopes, the observers on each ship also have a series of square and round instruments.

These gunners are the essence of artillery collected by Dolgon from all over the country since entering the customs, and the Qing army spent a lot of money on these people. Houses, fields, silver, slaves, women, official positions, whatever you want, as long as you are willing to contribute to me!

These gunners also knew what their capital was to settle down in the Qing army, and at this time, they naturally behaved very hard, and the artillery was fast and accurate.

Several shells landed on the deck of the gunboat of the Hongwu Army, and immediately exploded countless pieces of wood chips, the shells bounced and rolled in all directions, and the two sailors were rolled off the calves by the shells and fell on the deck crying.

A cannonball landed on the lower deck of the bridge of the Aomei, and the sawdust on the deck that was splashed by the cannonball, a large piece of dust rose into the air, and fell on Li Huamei's head.

"Master General!" Fathead Fish pounced on him with a few of his own soldiers, trying to use their bodies to shield Li Huamei from possible flying dangers.

"Fuck off! Don't get in the way! Li Huamei reprimanded viciously. The fathead fish's actions blocked her vision, "The cannonball that can kill me hasn't been made yet!" ”

"Alas! It's a pity! "Ling Jiyun also saw this scene of the Aomei, and couldn't help but cry out for pity." Brothers, hurry up! The credit was snatched away by someone else! With all his might, he threw out a rope net with an iron hook that hung diagonally to the side of the Aomei.

"Damn! You dog thieves who don't know how to die! The fathead fish cursed, and pulled out the double-barreled short fire gun from the wide cowhide belt around his waist, "Go!" Kill those dog thieves to the old lady! ”

"Just a little bit! Slaves, fight well! The glory and riches of your children and grandchildren are in your hands! Ehri saw that Li Huamei was almost hit on his ship, and he couldn't help but shout loudly, encouraging his subordinates to hurry up.
