Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, still knows a lot about weapons, and the grenade originally made by the imperial court was a round ball, with an iron ring underneath, pulling the iron ring, and then throwing it out.

It's just that the grenade was not equipped at all, and later a wooden-handled grenade came out.

Underneath is a wooden handle, with a line after opening the lid, pulling it, and throwing it out. Now Daming is equipped with this kind of thing, the power is not very great, and it is easy to carry.

It is said that this thing has been researched for more than ten years, and it has only been made in the last two years.

Compared with cannons, the power of grenades is limited, but it also depends on how to use them, Xu Wenbi has seen examples of tying grenades together and then throwing them out, that power, tsk!

"Mr. Li, there is no room for loss in this battle!" Xu Wenbi looked at Li Chengliang and said.

"Dingguo Gong rest assured, this battle will definitely be a big victory!" Seeing that Xu Wenbi still had a serious face, Li Chengliang explained with a smile: "The current grassland is no longer the grassland of the past, and our Ming army is not the Ming army of the past. ”

When Xu Wenbi heard Li Chengliang's words, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

"Take our Liaodong Army as an example, after the military reform, with enough military salaries, food and grass, and good training, we will naturally be able to fight. Coupled with the ordnance supplied by the imperial court, I was not afraid of the jokes of Dingguo Gong, and when I got these ordnance, I was excited and didn't sleep for a few days. ”

Saying that, Li Chengliang pulled out the long knife on his waist: "This knife must be no stranger to Dingguogong, right?" ”

Of course, Xu Wenbi is no stranger, this is the current standard sword of the Ming army.

"This kind of knife is really much better than the previous knife, not only sharp, but also hard, and the previous knife cut each other, this knife is not hindered, but the original knife has been cut out of a big gap."

"Not to mention these firearms, just these knives can improve their combat power a lot."

"And armor, where everyone used to have armor, now everyone really has it, and it's all good chain mail. If the barbarian's broken knives were not stabbed head-on, they couldn't be cut open. ”

"It's not me Li Chengliang who is blowing the atmosphere, relying on the Liaodong Army alone, destroying the three Duoyan Divisions, it is absolutely possible."

Xu Wenbi looked at Li Chengliang, no matter whether Li Chengliang was bragging or not, it was impossible for the imperial court to let Li Chengliang do this. First, the credit is too great to let Li Chengliang take it alone.

Those rabbit cubs in Jingying were screaming one by one to make meritorious contributions, and Li Chengliang took all the calculations.

Second, Duoyan Sanbu asked Li Chengliang to destroy him, the ghost knows how dare he, and the emperor doesn't trust him. Now the emperor's most trusted army is Jingying, let Jingying do this, that's what the emperor wants.

But this Xu Wenbi won't say it, and he doesn't think Li Chengliang will not understand, this product is just pretending to be stupid.

As the Duke of Dingguo, Xu Wenbi also understands that military generals who don't pretend to be stupid won't live long, especially border generals. Li Chengliang did this and behaved like this, Xu Wenbi also understood.

"Let's talk about barbarians, the barbarians now are not the barbarians of the past, to put it bluntly, they are comfortable."

"We haven't been out of the jam over the years, and they have long lost the courage of the year. Take the three departments of Duoyan as an example, they all have their own grasslands, and if we fight them, they don't dare to run. ”

"Running west?" Speaking of this, Li Chengliang's tone was full of mockery: "That old guy from Buyan Chechen will definitely swallow them in one bite, and there will be no bones left." ”

"Running north? The people in Horqin were not well-intentioned either. ”

"In addition to the current grassland, each ministry has its own grassland, and there are so many grassland tribes that they can't feed so many people. When the time comes, they would rather surrender to our Ming Dynasty than run west or north. ”

This is the first time Xu Wenbi has heard of this statement, but this is also a common thing.

It has been before, it is normal to kill and annex between the tribes on the grassland, and Buyan Chechen is old, and all the tribes are eyeing each other, and at this time, there is no suspense at all about annexing others to strengthen themselves.

Everyone wants to dominate the grassland, but it hasn't officially started yet.

Xu Wenbi was relieved to see that Li Chengliang was so confident, for Xu Wenbi, this time in this battle, there is absolutely no room for any mistakes.

Not only must he win, but he must also win the battle with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the emperor.

The whole thing was promoted by him, and Li Chengliang was also promoted by him, if he didn't fight happily, Xu Wenbi estimated that the emperor would definitely punish him, and his trust in himself would be gone.

"Mr. Li is so confident, I am relieved!" Xu Wenbi said with a smile.

Li Chengliang patted his chest and promised, and finally Li Chengliang asked a question: "Dingguo Gong, there is something to ask for advice at the end, Your Majesty has mobilized so many troops and hoarded so much grain and grass this time, is it not just for the sake of Duoyan Sanbu?" ”

Li Chengliang has long suspected this!

Xu Wenbi glanced at Li Chengliang, he didn't know why Li Chengliang asked this, in fact, Li Chengliang shouldn't ask this question, speculating on the holy will, this is a taboo thing.

Does he really not understand, or does he pretend not to understand? Xu Wenbi squinted at Li Chengliang.

Li Chengliang's face remained unchanged, of course he knew that this was a taboo question, but he still chose to ask, because this was Li Chengliang's temptation and temptation of Dingguo Gong.

In fact, Li Chengliang and Ding Guogong are in a cooperative relationship, but Li Chengliang wants to see if Ding Guogong really wants to cooperate.

"Your Majesty's thoughts, we are not good at guessing as courtiers!" Xu Wenbi said slowly, seeing Li Chengliang's dissatisfaction, Xu Wenbi continued: "However, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the jade seal that Buyan Chechen took out to pass on the country. ”

Hearing Xu Wenbi say this, Li Chengliang immediately laughed.

"It's our fault as courtiers, it's a shame that the jade seal of the country fell into the hands of the barbarians, this time after beating the three parts of Duoyan, we must ask the emperor to hit Chahar directly and recapture the jade seal of the country."

Xu Wenbi smiled and nodded: "Yes!" This is the duty of a courtier. ”

The two old fellows smiled thoughtfully, and then changed the subject, as if the conversation had just been small talk. In just a few simple words, the relationship between the two sides is one step closer.

With the passage of time, the 100,000 troops of the Beijing camp arrived in Shenyang, and Qi Jiguang also arrived in Shenyang, and the entire Liaodong was shrouded in war clouds. The Jiliao army was also stationed on the front line of Daning and Xifengkou, and the war was about to break out.

With such a large deployment of troops in the Ming Dynasty, it was naturally impossible to hide from people, especially those in Liaodong.

Statehood.

Jianzhou City is the name of the city under the feet of the Ming Dynasty, in fact it does not have an exact name, because it is a newly built city. The Ming Dynasty called it Jianzhou because it was the residence of the Jianzhou Wei Commander.

This city was built in the fifteenth year of Wanli, and it has not been completed for a few years.
