However, Li Ye rarely revealed this divine machine camp to the outside world, so Zheng Ningji didn't know much about it, let alone others. The station of the Shenji Battalion is relatively remote, and the surrounding area is deserted, but it is relatively close to the Ordnance Division, which makes many people not know much about this Shenji Battalion.

Everyone was puzzled, could sending this so-called Divine Machine Battalion at this time help the current situation?

Everyone wanted to ask a few more words about the Shenji Camp, but Li Ye obviously didn't want to explain too much about this matter, so everyone stopped asking with interest.

The Shenji Battalion was formed a year later, and the first commander was Ryuji. In fact, if he could, Li Ye originally wanted Link to be in charge, but now that Link has become a pawn army, it is naturally not suitable, so he chose Long Zhi, who has seen the power of gunpowder.

The reason why the firearms unit was named the Shenji Battalion was also derived from the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Dynasty in history.

At that time, the Shenji Battalion was one of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army in the Ming Dynasty and the first professional firearms unit in the world. The initial establishment of the Shenji Battalion was 3,600 infantry equipped with firearms, 1,000 cavalry and 400 artillery, for a total of 5,000 officers and soldiers.

Of course, this is only the number of officers and soldiers, and if you add these people, there must be tens of thousands of people, after all, those shells, gunpowder, cannons, etc., are all the people's business.

The main firearms of the Shenji Battalion were muskets and muskets, and arquebuses were added to the back. In the Ming Dynasty, the Shenji Battalion was responsible for the important task of "guarding the Beijing division internally and preparing for the war outside", and was in charge of training firearms and accompanying the officers and soldiers of the escort horse team, and was a strategic mobile force under the direct command of the emperor.

Of course, compared with the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Dynasty in history, the Shenji Battalion formed by Li Ye is more than a little shabby. It was a real battalion, with a total of less than five hundred officers and men. According to the previous equipment, there were three hundred and fifty crossbowmen and one hundred trebuchet shooters, of which the crossbowmen were divided into arm tension crossbows using light crossbows and Fuyuan crossbows with heavy crossbows, the former could be used by individual soldiers, and the latter required several operations.

Muskets, muskets, artillery? I'm sorry, but no, because steel doesn't work. Artillery can be solved with copper, but muskets can't, and if the steel is not qualified, it will not be possible to make a qualified musket.

The smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty was actually not bad, otherwise it would not be possible to make a high-quality cold weapon like the Tang knife, but it was still a bit unsatisfactory for the manufacture of muskets, because if the impurities in the steel could not be removed, it would be easy to explode. It's just that Li Ye doesn't understand steelmaking, he knows that there is a crucible steelmaking method, but he doesn't know how to practice, and he is not a science student.

Although the current iron-making technology does not meet the requirements of Li Ye for refining muskets and steel cannons, the bronze technology is very strong. Bronze smelting technology, ancient China said the second, no one dared to call it the first.

Moreover, the quality of bronze artillery at this stage, even for more than 100 years, is stronger than steel artillery, unless it is a major breakthrough in steelmaking technology, steel artillery is inferior to bronze artillery in performance and safety.

Although the Shenji Battalion at this stage is very weak, it is a big killer in Li Ye's hands. The previous attack on Didian showed the power of rockets, and if there was the help of the Shenji Battalion, it might be able to make up for the shortcomings of the Tiance Army.

"Jieshuai, King Shou has sent an order, let me Dongchuan send troops to assist King Shou to quell the rebellion!"

In Zizhou, Zheng Junxiong brought a letter and presented it to Yang Shili.

Yang Shili opened the letter in public, and the content of the letter was very simple, that is, he was asked to fulfill his promise to send 5,000 troops to assist the Tiance Army to quell the rebellion.

After reading it, Yang Shili threw the letter aside and said with a smile, "Send a report to Zhang Shi'an and ask him to lead his troops to Lizhou and accept the command of King Shou." It's only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and I, Yang Shili, will not break the contract. ”

"Marshal, do we really want to send troops? But at present, Lu Yanhong's rebel army is strong, and these 5,000 people have gone, if there is a loss, wouldn't it be a loss for the commander? Zheng Junxiong said with some concern.

Yang Shili shook his head, "It must be given, even if it is a loss." At present, the Chen brothers are dissatisfied with me, thinking of ways to find fault, if I don't give these 5,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention how Shouwang's side reacts, Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan will definitely impose a crime on me.

And if you don't give these 5,000 soldiers and horses, it will inevitably make King Shou unhappy. At that time, we Dongchuan will face the situation of being attacked by the enemy on our backs, and for the sake of 5,000 soldiers and horses, we will put ourselves in a disadvantageous situation, and some of the gains will outweigh the losses.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Moreover, these 5,000 people are led by Zhang Shi'an, so it can be ensured that these 5,000 people will not be used as cannon fodder by King Shou, even if they can't pacify the rebels, it is still okay to withdraw when the situation is wrong. If we don't even do the basics, we can't make sense. ”

"Jie Shuai Gao Jian." Zheng Junxiong smiled and complimented.

Yang Shili smiled and waved his hand, "Tell Zhang Shi'an, let him send troops as soon as possible, and don't make King Shou unhappy." ”

"Yes, Jie Shuai." Zheng Junxiong was ordered to go.

As Yang Shili fulfilled his promise, Li Ye had 5,000 more soldiers and horses in his hands, although this was not his own army, but it could be regarded as alleviating the problem of insufficient troops in his hands.

Just when Li Ye gathered troops to reinforce Liu Qi, the bad news that Li Zhen had expected really happened. Yang Shouliang of Jinzhou, sent troops to attack Bizhou along the Lychee Road, Bizhou was invincible, and now he has retreated to the state city of Bizhou, intending to hold the state city. In order to prevent Yang Shouliang from taking Bizhou, Li Hong ordered Ouyang Jing to lead the soldiers and horses of the two capitals to reinforce Bizhou to ensure that Bizhou was not lost.

Wang Jian's side still rejected Li Ye's request to send troops, the reason was that he still didn't want to fight in the same room, although Li Ye was very unhappy, but he couldn't treat Wang Jian like that for the time being. However, Wang Jian's actions also made Li Ye's favor plummet, and let Sun Jiameng supervise Wang Jian and his troops' every move.

In order to guard against Wang Jian, Li Ye let Pei Rong, Zheng Ningji, and Liu Kui sit in Lizhou, and left the rear compartment and Lizhou soldiers and horses in Lizhou, and he personally led Dongchuan Zhang Shi'an's department, the prince's personal soldiers and the Shenji Battalion, a total of 7,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Liu Qi.

。。。。。。

"What you say is true? King Shou led his army to quell the rebellion? ”

Chengdu Mansion, after learning that Li Ye personally sent troops to quell the rebellion, Tian Lingzi couldn't help but be overjoyed, didn't care about his demeanor, and hurriedly asked if it was true.

"Returning to Lord Guogong, the news is accurate. The envoys of the Righteous Army and the Shannan West Dao Jiedu have reported that the rebel Lu Yanhong has captured Xingzhou and is now attacking Fengzhou and Lizhou on a large scale. ”

"Fourth brother, this is good news!" Chen Jingxuan couldn't hide the smile on his face, got up directly from his seat, and said with a smile.

"That's right, Yang Shili actually has a grudge against our family, and he can't keep it. King Shou didn't go to quell the rebellion before, and our family was still worried that he would unite with Yang Shili and didn't dare to move, but now there is no such scruples. Tian Lingzi sneered.

Although Yang Shili is his former cronie, this cronie is not very obedient now, and even said irresponsible to him, how can others sleep peacefully on the side of the couch, Yang Shili is no longer obedient, so change to obedient.

"What is the fourth brother going to do? I immediately went to gather troops and prepare to attack Dongchuan. Chen Jingxuan said immediately.

"Nonsense. Haven't you studied the art of war? Attacking the heart is the best policy, and sending troops is the next policy. Our family immediately attacked His Majesty, and promoted Yang Shili to the right servant to shoot and see how he reacted. Tian Lingzi glanced at his second brother, who didn't know anything, and said in a deep voice.

"Right servant shot? Not bad, what about letting him be a nominal right servant. Chen Jingxuan was stunned, and then laughed and said, "As long as he agrees, you can clean him up as much as you want in the future." ”

Although he was a former colleague, he had long lost the feelings of his colleague for Yang Shili, otherwise he would not have promised Gao Ren to be honest with Dongchuan before.

"It's just a ploy to have him as the right servant. Yang Shili may not agree, if the other party agrees, it is fine; If we don't agree, we will have a reason to send troops to Dongchuan in the name of the imperial court. Tian Lingzi explained.

"Then I will immediately give Gao Renhou an order to assemble his army." Chen Jingxuan said immediately.

"Second brother, don't you have anyone else on your hands? This Gao Renhou is not good at stubble, if the tail is difficult to shake, isn't it unpleasant? Tian Lingzi frowned.

Chen Jingxuan was a little helpless, "Fourth brother, I can't help it." The generals under his command can fight only this Gao Renhou, and the others are useless except for complimenting me, if they really want to fight. But fourth brother, don't worry, I will let my cronies supervise Gao Renhou, and I don't dare to mess around. ”

"It's for the best."

Although there is Chen Jingxuan's assurance, the worry on Tian Lingzi's face has not disappeared, but there is no good way to do it at present, and it is best to remove Yang Shili, an unstable factor, first.

After speaking, Tian Lingzi hurried to the palace. Along the way, Tian Lingzi did not report and broke into the palace directly. Since Li Ye was demoted, Zheng Zheng was also unable to support himself, and in the court, Tian Lingzi's power has become stronger and stronger, and many ministers have chosen Mingzhe to protect themselves, which has further boosted Tian Lingzi's power.

In the palace, Li Yi didn't like Tian Lingzi's report, but he still chose to agree. ordered Yang Shili to be recalled and let him serve as the right servant.

。。。。。。

"Tian Lingzi deceives people too much!"

Seeing the holy decree in front of him, Yang Shili was so angry that his beard stood up, and then he directly threw the holy decree on the ground and let it be scattered aside.

"Bold Yang Shili, you actually dare to throw the holy decree, you are disrespectful to the saint." The eunuch who announced the decree saw the holy decree on the ground, and hurriedly picked it up, and then reprimanded Yang Shili loudly.

"Dog eunuch, what did you say?" Yang Shili, who was angry, stared at the eunuch in front of him with his eyes, murderous and awe-inspiring.

"You... What do you want? The eunuch was glared at by Yang Shili, and his previous momentum collapsed in an instant, and he subconsciously took a step back, and his tone trembled a little.

"Kill you!"

As he spoke, Yang Shili pulled out the weapons of the soldiers next to him and slashed at the head of the eunuch who announced the decree. The eunuch didn't react at all, he saw his head and body separated, and then his head rolled on the ground a few times, his eyes were wide open, he didn't expect to die here.

Zheng Junxiong and the others next to him didn't react, and before they could dissuade them, the eunuch who announced the decree had already fallen to the ground.

Looking at the dead eunuch, Zheng Junxiong couldn't help but swallow his saliva, looked at Yang Shili, and hesitated, "Jie Shuai, what should I do now?" ”

"What to do? Arrest the overseer surnamed Tian for me. Since Tian Lingzi is unkind, he does not blame me for being unjust. Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan, two brothers, controlled the government and framed Zhongliang. Yang Shili also regretted his impulsiveness a little, but everyone was killed, and he couldn't help but return.

Since this is already the case, it is better to strike first, and he is not a rebel, but just a Qing Jun.

"Yes, Jie Shuai!" Zheng Junxiong hesitated for a moment before agreeing, and then quickly left the Jieshuai Mansion.

And after Zheng Junxiong left, a personal soldier came in to carry out the body of the dead eunuch Xuanxuan, and restrained the accompanying eunuch.

With Yang Shili's order, the entire Dongchuan army began to mobilize. Unlike Chen Jingxuan and Niu Miao, Yang Shili's rule in Dongchuan was relatively solid, and the army was in his hands.

Soon, those officials and generals in Dongchuan knew that the war was about to begin, and apart from lamenting the chaos of the current situation, there was nothing they could do to change this chaotic world.
