"Emperor, Emperor!" Song Xiance turned over from his horse and walked towards Li Zicheng as if he were flying.

This is a school field outside Xiangjing City, and it is also a school field dedicated to the target shooting test run of the artillery battalion of the Dashun Army. A row of newly cast general cannons and big guns were firing, and Li Zicheng's ears were buzzing, and he almost didn't hear Song Xiance's greeting.

Li Zicheng is making rapid progress now! Not only did he learn the ability of Enclosure Juntian, but he also discovered the wonderful use of the Great General's Cannon from the information he heard about the "Battle of Bloody Creek" - it turned out that there were enough Great General Cannons concentrated to even bombard the Tartars!

Therefore, Li Zicheng ordered the industrial government (Ministry of Industry) of the Dashun Dynasty to build 100 general cannons of 800 catties and refine 50,000 catties of high-grade gunpowder.

In addition, Li Zicheng also ordered the industrial government to cast 1,000 single-eyed guns - this kind of firearm was invented by the Dashun army guarding Xi'an, that is, the three-eyed gun, which was insufficient in power and effective range, was turned into a single-eyed gun, which was actually a large musket. Because the casting process is not good, the gun tube can only be cast thick and heavy. Although the projectiles used are only one or two weights (the projectiles used in the turtledove foot gun weigh one or two or five coins), the weight of the one-eyed large gun is much heavier than that of the turtledove's foot gun, and it is impossible for a single soldier to use it at all, and it requires the joint efforts of two firecrackers. At the time of launch, one person is responsible for the ignition of the aim, and the other acts as a gun frame, carrying the gun tube with his shoulder, hence the name of the gun lifter.

When Song Xiance arrived, a row of large lifting guns had just been launched, and a shield cart that was a target thirty paces away was riddled with holes.

Li Zicheng squinted one eye and showed a satisfied smile - this kind of big lifting gun is enough to restrain the shield car, and naturally no armor can carry it.

The performance of the previous test firing of the general cannon was also good, and the stone projectile fired could penetrate the wooden shield at a distance of 100 paces...... That's pretty good!

With these 100 general cannons, 1,000 big guns. This time, the grasp of going south to Huguang is much greater.

Li Zicheng looked back at Song Xiance and said with a smile: "Great military division, which gust of wind blew you outside Xiangjing City?" ”

"Emperor, great joy!" Song Xiance handed Li Zicheng a copy of the Ming Dynasty's mansion newspaper that he got out of nowhere.

Li Zicheng took the newspaper, unfolded it, and was stunned: "Great military division, you took the wrong one, right?" ”

"That's right......"

Li Zicheng said: "It seems to say that the faint monarch Chongzhen wants to be in Zen...... Probably just give way to Zhu Cihong's bastard, right? ”

"Yes, yes......" Song Xiance smiled and nodded.

"Is this a happy event?" Li Zicheng looked at his military advisor with a little suspicion - how could this be a happy event? Even if it's a happy event, it's also a happy event on Zhu Cihong's side! What does it have to do with yourself?

"yes!" Song Xiance nodded, "Chongzhen Dujun picked a good time...... He didn't mention it early, he didn't mention it late, but he mentioned it when Zhu Cihong was about to send troops. Actually, I didn't have any good intentions! ”

Li Zicheng was a little confused, "Really? What does this say? ”

Song Xiance said: "Chongzhen faint Jun wants to force the rebellious ministers and thieves over there in the Ming Dynasty to come and embarrass Zhu Cihong...... Zhu Cihong is fighting with us in Huguang, and there are still a bunch of people behind him to make trouble, isn't this game a happy event for us? ”

"Oh......" Li Zicheng still didn't understand, "who will make trouble for him?" ”

Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Zuo Maodi...... These people are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and they will make trouble for Zhu Cihong! ”

"They're rebels and thieves?" Li Zicheng said: Huang Degong and Gao Jie are okay, how can Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Zuo Maodi learn to be bad ministers and thieves now? Who did you learn this from?

"Emperor, they all have soldiers and territories, and they are divided into one side, just like Tang Jifang Town, the princes of the late Han Dynasty, how can they not be chaotic ministers and thieves?" Song Xiance said, "Zhu Cihong is the male lord and Ming Jun, and the rebellious ministers and thieves will not like him." ”

"So what?" Li Zicheng shook his head, "Zhu Cihong doesn't rely on them to like to be the emperor...... What can they do? Rebellion? ”

"Rebellion won't ......," Song Xiance said, "but it will make trouble for Zhu Cihong!" ”

"How?" Li Zicheng shook his head, "I can't find it!" Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Zuo Mao are a total of five chaotic ministers and thieves...... No one will obey anyone! And Zhu Cihong is not Dong Zhuo, nor is he Cao Cao, he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to oppose him, you have to be famous! ”

Li Zicheng is a professional rebel in the end, and he knows too much about the rebellion. Five rebels and thieves couldn't get together...... It's also infighting first! And they are not the way of the peasant uprising, they are all courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, how can they make Zhu Cihong's rebellion? This is the following offense!

Song Xiance shook his head and said with a smile: "Emperor, they have a reputation!" ”

"What's the name?"

Song Xiance said: "The fifth prince Zhu Cihuan! ”

Li Zicheng thought about it and laughed: "Okay, good!" The military advisor finally made a good move this time...... I'm going to bother you to do it, you must find the right time, and when you can't hold on to Zhu Cihong in Huguang, you can play the big card of Zhu Cihuan again! ”

......

"Major General, Nanjing Di Bao!"

Huang Shu hurriedly knocked on the door of the official cabin of Zuo Liangyu's ship, and when he heard that there was no movement, he hurriedly knocked a few more times.

In the official cabin, Zuo Mengeng's tired voice finally came: "Military advisor, come in." ”

Now Zuo Mengeng has ensured Zuo Liangyu, who was in a deep coma, to board the official ship heading to Jingzhou, and the officers and soldiers of the Zuo family's army, their families, and nearly 200,000 people have also boarded the ship.

So many ships almost blocked the Yangtze River between Wuchang and Hankou, and now they are waiting for Zuo Menggeng's order, and everyone will go west together.

These days, in order to gather enough ships that can carry so many people and materials, the sailors of the Zuo Jiajun have been busy for a while, and they have requisitioned and transferred all the merchant ships that come and go on the Yangtze River and the Han River.

This year, the amount of rice and grain shipped to the southeast will be reduced by seven or eight percent......

When Huang Shu walked into Zuo Liangyu's official cabin, he smelled the smell of Chinese medicine. Zuo Liangyu actually didn't enter the medicine stone, and the whole person was only a skeleton, lying on the bed and not moving, only a very slight breath showed that he still had such a breath.

Zuo Mengeng's filial face was very ugly, his eye sockets were blue, his eyebrows were drooping, and he was sitting there slowly drinking strong tea, still dying.

His father's breath was broken at some point, and he could still be the master of the three armies at that time?

If you can't be a ...... Will the head be cut off and sent to Nanjing in a beautiful box? These days he has nightmares so much that he shuddered at the sight of a box that could hold his head!

"Young General, the prince is forcing the palace!"

Huang Shu handed the newspaper to Zuo Mengeng.

"Forcing the palace......" Zuo Mengeng hurriedly took the newspaper, unfolded it, and his voice trembled, "It's really forcing the palace!" He is also too anxious, isn't it good to wait until he defeats Li Zicheng and then force the palace? ”

Of course, the newspaper will not write about the forced palace. However, in the eyes of Zuo Mengeng and Huang Shu, Chongzhen's inner Zen is equivalent to Zhu Cihong's forced palace.

Otherwise, why would Emperor Chongzhen mention Neizen?

"Young General, the most important thing now is to hold His Royal Highness the King of Chu in your hands!" Huang Shu hurriedly said, "With the King of Chu in hand, you can command the heroes and become the head of the princes!" ”

Zuo Mengeng wrinkled his brows: "Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Zuo Maodi, they ...... Will you listen to me? ”

How can it be? Huang Shu said in his heart: They don't even listen to Zhu Cihong's words, will they listen to you?

"Major General," Huang Shu said, "they will definitely make trouble, and if they want to make trouble, they must have a reputation...... The king of Chu is the name! ”

Zhu Cihuan in Li Zicheng's hands is the righteous name on the side of the Qing monarch, and Zhu Cizhao, the king of Chu, is also the righteous name, and it is even bigger!

"Yes, yes, yes......" Zuo Mengeng nodded and took a breath, "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, Zhu Cihong has made too many enemies this time...... We've finally got a way to live! He paused, "Let's leave tomorrow, go to Jingzhou Mansion, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and at the same time contact the princes, and prepare to raise troops to Qin Wang!" ”
