On this day, Zhu Cihong led Li Yan and the Red Lady to inspect the Yinglong military camp.

The 60,000 recruits were divided into small groups for training, standing in military posture, marching in unison, forward walking, running and cross-country, and so on.

"Your Majesty, is the world-famous Ying Long Army trained like this?" The red lady asked Zhu Cihong curiously.

At this time, the red lady has changed back into women's clothes, a red tight-fitting dress outlines the exquisite curves, the heroic posture of the women, and the already beautiful face, which is really fascinating. When Zhu Cihong saw the red lady's uniform for the first time, he was amazed, and he had to sigh again that Li Yanyan was very blessed.

"Yes, what can the general of the matchmaker's children see?" Zhu Cihong asked with a smile.

The red lady carefully observed the training of the soldiers of the Ying Long Army, and after frowning and thinking for a while, her smart eyes lit up, and her beautiful face had a smile of surprise, and she turned to look at Zhu Cihong to answer the question just now.

"Back to the emperor, in fact, these actions seem to be very simple, but in fact they all have another mystery, take this military posture as an example, can exercise patience, running, can exercise physical strength, can also exercise the group, and other projects are all around the patience, physical strength and group of these three categories of training, so trained soldiers, patience, tenacity, physical strength, and unity, almost the invincible army of Zou shape."

Zhu Cihong nodded, his heart shook slightly, and he admired the Red Lady for coming, worthy of being able to become one of the most elite battalions under Li Zicheng as a woman, and the talent of the Red Lady is indeed comparable to Qin Liangyu in Lizhou.

"I heard that this kind of training method is the emperor's originality, the emperor is not only the emperor, but also a genius who is unmatched in the world, and the red lady admires it." The red lady's eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhu Cihong with admiration.

"That's natural, I have always thought that I am the master of the Ming Dynasty that descended from heaven, and I am wise and wise, and I will be able to create immortal achievements in the future." Zhu Cihong nodded unashamedly.

The Red Lady's voice was crisp and moving, although these items were pirated by Zhu Cihong, but Zhu Cihong felt comfortable when she heard the Red Lady's praise like this.

"The emperor really won't be modest!" The red lady covered her mouth and smiled, like a thousand flowers blooming, seducing the soul.

Zhu Cihong's face was slightly red, his heart was pounding and accelerating, and he quickly staggered his eyes, which happened to be in the direction of Li Yan.

"Li Yan, I warn you, let your lady not laugh like this in front of me, otherwise I will definitely punish you!" Zhu Cihong said viciously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order!" After Li Yan was stunned for a moment, he smiled helplessly and said.

"It's good to know." Zhu Cihong rolled his eyes, quickened his pace, and ignored the husband and wife.

Li Yan and the red lady both fell behind, the two glanced at each other, with a smile in their eyes, and hurriedly quickened their pace to follow.

For Zhu Cihong, the emperor, in less than half a month, Li Yan and the Red Lady basically figured out Zhu Cihong's temperament, as long as it is not too much, does not cross the red line, it is absolutely easy to talk and joke, so in front of Zhu Cihong, Li Yan and the Red Lady can basically be very relaxed, and they also know that such an emperor can have such an emperor in the Ming Dynasty now, which is definitely the blessing of all the people in the world, and the husband and wife have already been firmly determined to assist Zhu Cihong.

"Your Majesty, there is something that the minister does not know whether to say or not." Li Yan said beside Zhu Cihong.

"You say." Zhu Cihong said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, the ministers looked at the previous tactics of the Dragon Army and found that there was a fatal flaw." Li Yan paid attention to Zhu Cihong's face.

"I know, tell me what you think." Zhu Cihong nodded and said as usual.

"Chen felt that the battle method of the Ying Long Army, the number of people was too dense, and the speed of attack and movement was too slow, which were all fatal shortcomings. The previous battles must have been because the enemy had never encountered them and had no defense, so they could win many battles, but if they didn't want to change these shortcomings, the enemy army would inevitably think of a way to deal with them in the future, and when the time came, Ying Long's army would be fighting against it, and it was likely to suffer a devastating blow. Li Yan's analysis is very clear, and the previous battles of Ying Long's army were almost all won by surprise.

The red lady also nodded approvingly on the side, she had already thought of this, and now her husband Li Yan said it first.

Zhu Cihong did not shy away from this, and said: "In fact, I know that when the Ying Long Army was first formed, according to my idea, it should be used with field artillery, which is perfect. It's just that the Firearms Bureau has not been able to create a suitable cannon for field combat with the army, but it should be fast, without affecting the range and power, the Firearms Bureau has been able to reduce the weight of the red-coated cannon to 1,500 catties, if it can be reduced to 5 or 600 catties, it can reach the standard, and then the Ying Long Army will be the real invincible army. ”

In fact, if it is not required to reach the range and power of the red-coated cannon, the Firearms Bureau can already make cannons below 1,000 catties, but it also cannot meet the requirements of field warfare.

Li Yan pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is a more fatal shortcoming, although the firearms equipped by Ying Longjun are powerful, but firearms have a common problem, if it encounters rainy weather in the rainy season, firearms can hardly survive, and then Ying Longjun is afraid that even ordinary troops are not as good." ”

Li Yan had seen Ying Longjun's flintlock pistol, although the place where Ying Longjun's flintlock pistol was placed with flint and gunpowder made a copper cover to shield it from raining the ammunition inside, but the rain could also penetrate from the muzzle, even if the muzzle was temporarily wrapped with oiled paper, it could only be fired once at most, and it was impossible to reload it on a rainy day.

"This is really the fatal flaw." Zhu Cihong sighed slightly, in fact, after these major battles, the weakness of the Ying Long Army has long been exposed, the Manchu Qing Dynasty can fight with the Ming Dynasty for decades with tens of thousands of troops, and he is not a fool, Dolgon is afraid that he is already studying the way to deal with the Ying Long Army at this moment, and according to Zhu Cihong's assumption, Dolgon is likely to choose to go south when entering the rainy season, and when there will be more rainy weather, the Achilles heel of the Ying Long Army will be exposed. This is also the reason why Zhu Cihong felt that the Manchus were likely to choose to go south in May at the latest, because Jiangnan officially entered the rainy season in May.

"If the gun can't go off, the Ying Long Army still has bayonets, I believe that even if the soldiers of the Ying Long Army fight with white knives, they are not weaker than the Manchu Eight Banners, even if they fill it with our flesh and blood, I will fight to kill all the thieves such as the Manchu Dynasty." Zhu Cihong's eyes flashed with iron and blood, and he said extremely firmly.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Ying Long Army still had so many shortcomings, why did Zhu Cihong need to train as many as 120,000 soldiers of the Ying Long Army so urgently, 50,000 people would be enough to fight outside the pass.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong felt more and more that the first battle with the Manchu Qing Dynasty would be difficult in the near future, according to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's current increase in recruiting 400,000 Han Banner troops, when the Manchu and Mongolian Iron Cavalry plus the Han Banner Army would have at least 700,000 Qing troops, more than twice as many as in history, Zhu Cihong felt great pressure.

Li Yan and the Red Lady are relatively silent, they can see that Zhu Cihong has always regarded the Manchu Qing Dynasty as a big trouble, and almost everything he did was to deal with the Manchu Qing, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was indeed powerful, otherwise Li Zicheng's million-strong army would not have been defeated so quickly, although the Ming Dynasty now has the Ying Long Army, but I dare not say that it is much stronger than the Dashun in its heyday, and the Manchu Qing is indeed under great pressure to deal with the increasingly powerful Manchu Qing.

At this time, suddenly a Jinyi guard spy rode a fast horse to the Yinglong army camp.

"Newspaper"

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Tongguan, a few days ago, the Qing army attacked Tongguan in a big way."
