Huang Han happily agreed to the emperor to send troops, which was actually a win-win situation.

The combat effectiveness of the army is not exercised, but fought through one battle after another.

Exercises and training also cost a lot of money, so why not go to actual combat? At that time, there will be a lot of seizures to make up for the consumption!

In addition, the old army that has not been reorganized for a long time, the cavalry that has been expanded by the Sifang Express selection dart division, and the new recruits who have just been converted from the guard army account for half, so it is necessary to integrate and establish a sense of identity, and it is easier to connect hearts after fighting together.

As long as the troops are pulled into the customs and after a few battles, all the men and horses can be tempered and grow rapidly, and many soldiers will be rewarded and promoted for their military merits, which will lead to an exemplary effect.

There is also a huge benefit, a large number of "Red Banner Army" entered Shanxi to fight, and millions of Shanxi soldiers and civilians will see with their own eyes this strong army that promises to "starve to death and not rob the common people."

The hearts of the army and the people in Shanxi will be won over by Huang Han from now on, and when the time comes, it will be natural to eliminate corrupt officials and punish profiteers.

A few days after Zheng Guochang and Zheng Zhihui returned to Beijing to restore their lives, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty changed from panic when they had just been invaded by Jiannu to full of anticipation.

Because the state capitals in Gyeonggi have been delivered, the "Red Banner Army" has no borders and no shores, and I am afraid that there will be 70,000 or 80,000 or even more, and the war horses are fat and strong, the soldiers are radiant, and the artillery pieces are dark and shiny.

The Ming civil and military generals had a very different perspective from the slave owners of Jiannu, and they not only believed in firepower, but also spared no effort to research new firearms.

This time, along the Yellow River, Li Tiancheng, the ambassador of the Ministry of Industry's Ordnance Bureau, was promoted two levels in a row, and followed Liu Zhilun's department to participate in the defense with the post of the army's praise painting.

This is entirely because Li Tiancheng is an expert in firearms, and Chongzhen successfully developed the "mine cannon" in three years, and after continuous improvement over the years, the cost has dropped a lot, and the practical effect has already appeared.

And Liu Zhilun is also a fan of firearms, in order to prevent the Qing army's iron cavalry from breaking through the Yellow River and can no longer contain it, he tried to place a large number of mine artillery in the place where Jiannu must pass.

The chance of this kind of triggered mine being stepped on by Jiannu's war horse or tripped over the lead is more than eighty percent.

The Daming Ordnance Bureau has many experts in the study of new firearms, such as the "Fire Dragon Arrow" that launches 20 rockets at a time, the "Swarm of Bees" that launches 32 rockets, and the "Hundred Tigers Running Arrows" that launches 100 rockets.

These firearms are close to Congreve rockets, but the lethality and stability, flight distance need to be improved, in fact, the British Congreve invented rockets inspired by the firearms made by the Han Chinese.

The Ordnance Bureau's flowering bombs have also studied many varieties, but they are very difficult to operate and dangerous, and have not been promoted, which is equivalent to a laboratory product.

The key problem is that the Ming Dynasty did not have advanced fuses at all, and the fuses used to detonate were usually a hollow reed tube with a built-in medicine twist.

Before loading, the corresponding length is cut according to the distance to be shot at the target, and the fuse on the shell is lit from the muzzle before the cannon is fired, and then the fuse on the quick-fire door is fired.

This leads to some uncontrollable situations, and the flame generated by igniting the propellant escapes from the gap between the shell and the barrel to the front of the shell, which is very easy to ignite the exposed twist, so that the flowering shell explodes in advance and even the cannon explodes, causing a catastrophic accident.

Daming's firearms are dazzling, and the operation process is of course even more varied, Huang Han has always thought that simple and practical is the most realistic, so he only opened the gold finger when making guns and casting cannons, and now the effect is very good.

The Manchu civil and military forces learned that the "Red Banner Army" had artillery pieces that could fire thirty or forty three- or four-coin heavy projectiles at one time, and they could fire one after another.

This is also quite light, and after dismantling, a wheelbarrow can be pushed along the trail, which everyone thinks is incredible.

It was also learned that the number of artillery pieces possessed by the "Red Banner Army" reached several hundred pieces, and the general named those large and small cannons that could be flexibly transferred as field artillery.

Many civilian officials do not understand military affairs, but they will settle accounts, a small cannon shoots thirty or forty lead bullets, and a salvo of five hundred guns does not hit nearly twenty thousand? Isn't it as dense as raindrops? Can Jiannu's cavalry afford it?

Civilian, official, and military generals are all looking forward to the "Red Banner Army" cannon fire, and Jiannu will be bloodied.

Song Pengfei had meritorious service in guarding the Jinzhou defense line, but perhaps did not command the battle for a long time, and Huang Han sent An Xiaole, Pi Xiaohu, and Shen Ming to lead their three battalions of sailors and marines to replace the first battalion of men and horses directly led by Song Pengfei and the Yanggu battalion to enter the customs to fight.

Liu Sihai's battalion and three battalions of the Marine Division strictly guarded the front line of Jinzhou, with the main general Liu Sihai and the deputy generals Shen Ming and An Xiaole. The Pi Xiaohu battalion is stationed at the port of Jinzhou and can maneuver on board at any time.

Why is it so troublesome, isn't it good to let the Marine Corps go directly? That's because Huang Han refused to keep the Marine Corps away from the sea and the Yangtze River, otherwise what was the difference between this army and the ordinary army?

Zeng Tongxiang and Yu Fei landed in Ningyuanxi with two battalions of marines, and they replaced the battalion directly led by Hanzi and Yang Danian.

The two battalions of Huang Long and Mao Chenglu also entered Ningyuan to change their defenses, and Yuan Siming and Wang Zhicheng got the opportunity to enter Xuanda with Huang Han again to attack Jiannu.

There is a huge gap between women's physical strength and men's, Huang Han didn't want female soldiers to fight for a long time, so he transferred Qin Rong's female barracks to Ningyuan City, and arranged for Qin Yanyi's battalion to be stationed in Shanhaiguan to strengthen the deployment of troops.

At the same time, the garrison army adopted a three-choice requisition, dispatched 27,000 households, with a total number of 30,000, and carried 150 million wheelbarrows.

At this time, the Quartet Express stopped all the business that did not need urgent transportation, and dispatched 3,500 four-wheeled carriages and 7,000 coachmen to assist the army in transporting military supplies and food.

It is believed that the refugees will soon be hungry and cold, the weather is getting colder and colder, the army not only has to carry a large number of tents and quilts, but also brings 60,000 stone of food, and it is no longer possible to bring more food, and the carriages and wheelbarrows are nearly full.

The personal guard battalion led by Huang Han personally had more than 5,000 men and horses, and recruited Hanzi, Yang Danian, Yuan Siming, Wang Zhicheng, Zhang Yang, Song Pengfei, Wang Zhanpeng, Sang Yu, Fang Liandong, Yang Jian, Huang Feng, Yang Guobing, and Yang Hanwei to participate in the battle.

There are more than 57,000 men and horses in the guard battalion plus the 13th battalion, plus 30,000 guards and 7,000 coachmen in the "Quartet Express", known as 100,000 men and horses.

The army, which accounts for more than seventy percent of the firearms, is already invincible with such a number, and now it is only worried about the construction of slaves and the Tartars fleeing in despair.

Huang Han organized nearly 100,000 horses, and he ran to Shanxi to kill Xuanda, so he naturally had a big plan.

After negotiating with the imperial court for five years, Pingliao conservatively estimated that the military salary would be between 10 million and 20 million taels of silver, and Huang Hanqi, who was a thief in business, was willing to do such a loss-making business?
