Chapter 436: The Steampunk Emperor of the Ming Dynasty
A month later.
"Defeat?"
Yang Xin looked at Huang Zhen in surprise.
The latter came to send him silver, Yang Dudu consumed too much silver in the south, and the silver of the Nanjing branch was spent like a stream during this time, although most of it was reported, but the nine thousand years old and the military department were paid in the capital, in order to ensure the normal operation of the Nanjing branch, the silver had to be sent, and of course Huang Zhen had to go out in person for the escort of two million taels at a time.
"It can't be said that it was a loss, but it didn't win after all, and the battle report did say how much it had won, but in fact it didn't open the defense line of Jiannu.
And the ancestral longevity department also suffered a little loss.
Of course, this was not reported, it was reported by our people.
Sun Chuanting used his own main force to attack Sarhu, Zu Dashou and Zhao led the north and south to contain it, and in fact, Mao Wenlong feinted to attack Zhenjiang, but Jiannu built a large number of mountain cities in the Salhu area over the years, and it is said that there were also Japanese people to help them repair, which was like Ulsan City back then. Sun Chuanting could only attack, but the mountain road could not transport Hongyi cannons, at most he could only use those two-pound small cannons, Franc Machine, Tiger Squat Cannon and the like, but the Korean army under Jiannu also had Franc Machines and the like.
Sun Chuanting was a little anxious, and when he saw that the artillery could not open these mountain cities, he ordered a strong attack, but instead lost more than 2,000 new troops in vain.
Sun Yuanhua was very dissatisfied with him.
In addition, Lu Xiangsheng also felt that it was difficult to fight like this.
It happened that Zu Dashou's south road was defeated by Jiannu ambush outside the Yahu Pass, in order to prevent Jiannu from taking the opportunity to attack Liaoyang, which was only left by Chen Ce's department, Sun Chuanting had to order the withdrawal of the army, but Jiannu wanted to take the opportunity to pursue, and was defeated by the cavalry of Cao Wenzhao of the rear guard and beheaded five hundred, our short gun tactics were very effective, and the hard bow and heavy arrows that Jiannu relied on to win could not shoot Cao Wenzhao's short spear at all.
Sun Chuanting simply added him to two thousand, so that he could be beheaded two thousand in an attack.
Zu Dashou lost 1,000 and beheaded 200, and Sun Chuanting added him to 500.
The combined forces of Zhao Shujiao and Oba Daiqing on the northern road were also hindered by the mountain city, but they recaptured the homeland of the Urabu, beheading a total of three hundred, Sun Chuanting increased to one thousand, and lost two hundred. ”
Huang Zhen said.
That is to say, Sun Chuanting's battle report beheaded three thousand five, in fact, it was only one thousand, and his own side also lost more than three thousand, but as an attacker, especially in this complex mountain attack, and the opponent itself is a group of quite brave veterans of a hundred battles, such an exchange ratio is very normal. And it is certainly impossible to know the loss in Jiannushan City, but in general this cannot be regarded as a victory, although it cannot be said to be a defeat, at least Sun Chuanting re-advanced the Ming army-controlled area to the eastern border wall of Liaodong.
This can be said to be a recapture of those castles.
Although in fact it is actually receiving.
Jiannu has long given up these castles, but Fengcheng, Sanyang, and Zhenjiang are still in the hands of Jiannu.
"Wild boar skin actually became friends with the Tokugawa family, this is really a family to play."
Yang Xin said.
But there's nothing surprising about that.
The Tokugawa family must have liked to see the war in the Ming Dynasty continue, and the wild boar skins that got Korea also had a channel to communicate with him by sea, and it was easy for the two sides to trade with each other and send envoys to each other, and the current strategy of the wild boar skins in Liaodong was mountain defense. In terms of mountain defense, we must admit that the Japanese people are still very talented, and their mountain city really can't carry the Hongyi cannon, but the problem is that the place where they build the mountain city can't push the Hongyi cannon.
I can't even use a thousand pounds of furlong machines.
In fact, being able to push the three-pounder cannon into the mountain, it can already be said that Sun Chuanting worked very hard.
The upper reaches of the Hunhe River can not support shipping, this river can only be really used for shipping below Shenyang, Shenyang above Fushun may be able to walk a small raft, but Fushun to Qingyuan can only take advantage of the flash flood to drift wood, not to mention the twelve-pound cannon, even the six-pounder cannon is difficult.
The three-pounder gun is also not easy.
The three-pounder cannon that Yang Xin built for them weighed more than 400 catties because of the long pipe.
"Obviously they need to build the road first."
Yang Xin said.
Indeed, the best thing to do is to build roads first.
After all, the mountainous areas of Liaodong are better than the mountainous areas of Guizhou, at least not so steep, if the mountain road is wide enough to allow four horses to run in parallel, then it can drag more than 1,000 catties of cannons and maneuver in the entire theater of operations, at present, the six-pounder cannon cast by Yang Xin is roughly more than 1,000 catties, and the effective range is less than one mile, but this Furlong machine, which has completely crushed the Eight Banners of North Korea, can also almost gnaw those mountain cities.
The latter is not a fortress after all, in fact, it is not even comparable to the rammed earth and brick walls of the Ming Dynasty, but their location is usually in a place to look up, and they also like to build an additional stone base.
Light artillery is really hard to gnaw.
But it makes no sense in the face of real artillery.
"Another ......"
Huang Zhen wanted to speak and stopped.
"Say."
Yang Xin said.
"Nine thousand years old, let me remind you that the Hakka family is in front of Your Majesty, saying that you are using disaster relief to buy people's hearts, saying that you now have hundreds of thousands of militia, and you are using disaster relief to buy people's hearts in Jianghuai, and you want to set up another court in Nanjing, and also said that the county supervisor who died before is to detect that you have bad intentions. And let people collect some evidence, that is, those militia have set up a god position for you, and there are statues for you, in short, these are these messes, and those civil servants also have a lot of secret music to say that you use the Dangkou Army and the Red Turban Army as minions, and now the power is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no disobedience.
They are not public scripts, they are all scripts.
In the final analysis, this self-paid for such a large-scale disaster relief will make His Majesty a little suspicious after all.
The meaning of Madame and Nine Thousand Years Old is to let you restrain yourself. ”
Huang Zhen said cautiously.
There are two kinds of recitals in the Ming Dynasty, one is the inscription, which can be made public by the General Political Division, and the other is the recital in the form of a secret fold, which is not open to the public, of course, whether it is the title or the recital, it has to go through 9,000 years old in the end.
They all have to be the celebrants.
"This woman is getting more and more restless."
Yang Xin said speechlessly.
"After all, the prince was born with our help, according to the news I heard in the palace, the reason why the queen fled in a hurry was that the Hakka had tried to make her abort, and she was so frightened that she had to escape for help, and because the Hakka also wanted to arrange a nurse for the prince, but the queen insisted on feeding herself, and the two fought very hard in the palace. And it is said that in recent years, in fact, there are several women in the palace who have been pregnant, but they have all been killed by the Hakka family, and they often eat some messy things for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty's body has obviously not been as good as before in recent years.
This woman is indeed a little crazy. ”
Huang Zhen said.
"Where is Your Majesty?"
Yang Xin said.
"Your Majesty still trusts you, but you also know Your Majesty's temper, and now he likes to stay in the Academy of Sciences to engage in those novelties, even if he is a little suspicious of these words, but as long as there are novelties in the Academy of Sciences, he will forget about them in a blink of an eye, and even if he thinks about it again, it is difficult to take it seriously.
Madame means that you give him some more good things.
It's best to let him indulge in it and can't pull it out, just let him ignore foreign affairs completely, anyway, if he ignores foreign affairs, he will throw it all to Jiu Qiansui, Jiu Qianshi is still with us, of course, Jiu Qianshi is still the same requirement, it doesn't matter if you make trouble in the south, but the court can't be missing. Especially Sun Chuanting has to continue to attack next, all he fights on his side is silver, and this attack alone, his side smashed in more than one million taels of silver.
Moreover, Lin Dan Khan became more and more unstable, and after the destruction of the Korqin Tribe, he had constant friction with several tribes in the west these days, and it was obvious that he wanted to expand westward.
Therefore, not only Liaodong, but even the Xuanda area must be guarded, and Man Gui has been transferred to the Xuanfu General Army. ”
Huang Zhen said.
Obviously, Lin Dan Khan began his great cause of unifying all the tribes and destroyed Horqin, and Shuosai in the north and he have not torn their faces after all, and he does not dare to move the fried flowers in the east for the time being, so if he expands again, it will be Karaqin, Yongxieb and these messy tribes, and he is still following the old path of the original history. Not surprisingly, there will still be a decisive battle between these tribes and him outside the gate, which is a good thing, because these tribes had no choice but to hug the thigh of the Apocalypse at that time, just like they originally went to hug the thigh of Huang Taiji in history.
But now I can't reach it if I want to hug it.
They had no other choice, they didn't want to be annexed by Lin Dan Khan, they could only find the Ming Emperor.
Then the Ming Emperor acted as the adjudicator, giving them knighthoods, dividing pastoral areas for them, and building temples for them, which could not be regarded as truly subjugating the Ming Dynasty, and thus became the official vassals of the Ming Emperor, and then the Ming Emperor would administer justice for them and block Lin Dan Khan's invasion of them. He even summoned all the tribes of the steppe, including the Ming army, to fight a decisive battle with Lin Dan Khan when needed, and completely destroyed his unrealistic dream.
But until then, let's continue to let Lin Dan Khan bully them.
Lin Dan Khan didn't bully them harshly, they wouldn't think of the benefits of taking refuge in the Ming Emperor.
As for the bewitching apocalypse......
"This is easy to do, then I'll give him something that he can't pull out."
Yang Xin said.
How simple is this, give the steam engine to the emperor.
A young man with a technology like Apocalypse will definitely not be able to bear this, and then describe to him the steam-powered mechanical system that is matched with the steam engine, even the steamship and the train, all of which are given to the emperor, and if it is not enough, add steam-powered airships, steam-powered cars, and even steam giants, and then let him completely immerse himself in the world of steampunk and cannot extricate himself.
Isn't it just to bewitch the emperor, it's a bit difficult to bewitch those who like other things, but it's easy to bewitch the emperor who likes science.
He didn't believe that the apocalypse could carry this.
But you can't just use words......
"Secretary Wang, I heard that you can draw?"
Yang Dudu shouted outside.
"It's not like I can't hear it!"
Wang Wanqing pushed open the door and came in with a dissatisfied face and said.
