Chapter 167: Little Girl

Qin Yiming thought about it for a while, to be honest, he didn't have a very good way, he hadn't personally fought this Jurchen, but at this time, he couldn't help but say it, first flickered, in the late Ming Dynasty against the Jurchens, he had to mention one person, this person was Sun Chengzong. Thinking of Sun Chengzong's strategy, although everyone recognized the correctness of Sun Chengzong's strategy, Qin Yi clearly had reservations, Sun Chengzong was indeed a giant in the late Ming Dynasty, a pillar of the country, Sun Chengzong pulled Mongolia and North Korea, and built the Guanningjin defense line, although this strategy is very good, there is a situation of encircling the Jurchens on three sides, but it ignores one of the most fundamental things, that is, the national financial strength of the Ming Dynasty! Such a grand strategy must be backed by strong economic strength, but after the three major campaigns of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty did not have so much money to support Sun Chengzong's strategy, but it intensified the burden on the domestic people, causing public resentment, uprisings, and foreign wars usually cause internal instability, which is also the law of history.

"The minister has the best and the next policy."

"Let's talk about it."

"The best policy, negotiate peace, and give up the border for the time being!"

"What?" Chongzhen bounced up directly from the dragon chair, he has been worrying about this matter recently, Yang Sichang has not dared to go to court for a few days, and it is because of the proposal and the matter that he has become the target of public criticism.

"Your Majesty, the Guanning Jin defense line is powerful, but now I can't afford this defense line, and the Guan Ning Jin defense line is now useless." Qin Yiming boldly said his thoughts.

Any decision, should maximize the interests of the country, the Ming Dynasty for 276 years, no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies Sheji, these words certainly make people's blood boil, but who can understand the suffering of the people of the Ming Dynasty at this time? According to the speculation of a certain expert, the social economy was already highly developed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the population should be at least 10,000 according to the number of acres of land and the output of grain, but the population in the early Qing Dynasty was only 10 million.

Some people say that the Guanning Jin defense line allowed Daming to survive for more than 20 years, but is this really the case? The Guanning Jin defense line not only exhausted the pitiful finance and taxes of the Ming Dynasty, but also became the grave of the Ming officers and soldiers, the elite of the nine sides and the elite soldiers of the whole country were almost buried here, these are not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that because the Ming Dynasty continued to save the Guanning Jin defense line, which directly led to the emptiness of the internal forces of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng Zhang Xianzhong and others took the opportunity to sit big, and finally directly overthrew the Ming Empire; The elite of Guanning, which was associated with the defense line of Guanning Jin, finally became an accomplice of the Tartars, and Wu Sangui's elite of Guanning fought from the three customs to Kunming, and the last emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty also died at the hands of the elite of Guanning.

Chongzhen has been considering peace recently, but he can't make a decision, with Yang Sichang's continuous efforts, although he has a tendency to negotiate peace, but history tells Qin Yiming that Chongzhen finally gave up peace.

Looking at Qin Yiming below, Chongzhen's heart was churning, why did he build Guan Ningjin in the first place? It was expected that one day the Ming Dynasty could counterattack, use Guanningjin as a base, eliminate the Jianzhou Jurchens, and regain the lost territory. Giving up Guan Ningjin is equivalent to giving up the dream of recovering the lost territory and recognizing the rising Qing Dynasty! No, never!

"What's next?"

"Resist by a strong city." Qin Yiming replied.

Chongzhen hesitated, a little confused, could it be that the army of the Ming Dynasty was so vulnerable?

Wang Chengen was very unconvinced, and said: "Hmph, grow the ambition of others, extinguish your own prestige, my Daming firearms are developed, develop rapidly, and the output is amazing, Lord Qin may not know, this father-in-law can tell you about the statistics of the military department, from the forty-sixth year of Wanli to the first year of the Apocalypse, all kinds of firearms sent to Guangning in three years."

There are 10 generals of Tianwei, 10 second generals of Shenwu, 330 generals of the third thunder, 384 generals of the fourth thunder, 400 generals of Jieshengwu, 1530 exterminators, 600 tiger squat guns, 500 whirlwind cannons, 200 cannons, 14040 guns, 19 Weiyuan cannons, 3208 Yongzhu cannons, 3793 Lianzhu cannons, 110 winged tiger cannons, 540 iron guns, 6420 bird guns, 6790 three-eyed and four-eyed guns, and 4090 large and small copper franc machines.

**: 1306950 kg of nitrate, 376208 kg of sulfur, **90,500 kg.

Marbles: 142368 lead bullets, 1,253,200 iron bullets.

Iron and steel raw materials: 600,000 jin of black lead, 40,000 jin of real steel, 270,000 jin of Jiantie, 390,250 jin of Jiantie, and 100,000 jin of West Rail.

There are also knives, guns, bows, millions of dollars, cowhides, cowhides, cows, cotton, armor, all kinds of chariots and other military supplies. ”

Wang Chengen is like a number of treasures, and he is very proud to report the numbers, he is just not convinced, why do they say that they can't beat the Tartars, there are so many materials, why can't they beat the Tartars?

Qin Yiming was dizzy when he heard it, and he was surprised that this Wang Chengen could remember it so clearly, and he had never heard of this cannon or that cannon, but as a descendant, he naturally knew why.

"Your Majesty, the princes, and the ministers of Weichen have seen that there are many reasons why our army has always been unfavorable in combat, one of which is that the formation of our Ming officers and soldiers is contradictory to the use of firearms.

After the battle started, our army first put artillery, and also gave the Tartar soldiers to hurt them, but they were quickly identified by the Tartars to see through their weaknesses, and the Tartar iron cavalry galloped and could quickly rush through the firing line, and the shells often fell behind the Tartar cavalry, so there is a saying that "the artillery is not lit, and the thief has arrived".

Second, the serious shortage of artillery such as the Furlong machine itself, such as the firing range is not far, except for large artillery, the range of the rest of the artillery is only more than 100 zhang, and it is not enough to catch up with the bow and arrow of Hou Jin Qiang's hand to shoot far. Therefore, in field battles, our gunners often become the main targets of the opponent's attacks, so that they cannot play the role of artillery.

Third, the technology is not precise, the manufacturing is sloppy, does not meet the technical requirements, and accidents often occur when the gun is ignited, and the gun body is blown up. ”

Chongzhen seems to understand whether he understands or not, and he doesn't know how to pretend to understand, he knows that Qin Yiming is a person who has experienced actual combat, and what he said naturally makes sense.

The upper strategy is to make peace, and the lower strategy is to defend the city, this is indeed a problem that has to be faced. This is a very painful decision, if you really want to negotiate peace, Chongzhen can foresee, he will inevitably be stinking for 10,000 years, and the entire court and scholars will inevitably criticize him, and he will be ruthless, he is also afraid that the hearts of the people will be lost.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have heard what people say: those who are soft on the outside and soft on the inside are humiliated; Those who are rigid on the outside and strong on the inside, are destroyed by people; Those who are rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, people are light; Those who are soft on the outside and rigid on the inside will become a big tool. ”

"I know, you can step down!" Chongzhen sat down and waved his hand.

"Yes, Weichen retires!"

Qin Yiming cautiously exited the main hall, not far from the main hall, and suddenly something hit him, but fortunately, the impact force was weak.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Qin Yiming turned around and saw that a teenage child, but the girl's physical signs had already begun to appear, and she was knocked to the ground by the impact and sat on her ass and squatted, rubbing her eyes and crying loudly.

"Who are you, why are you so frizzy, I'm Princess Changping, hmph, I want my father to punish you! Father, this man hit me, Father! The little princess shouted, but fortunately it was a little far from the main hall, and the little girl's voice did not attract the attention of others.

Qin Yiming was helpless for a while, who hit him, this little princess obviously hit her back, she couldn't hit it but was knocked to the ground, and there were no long eyes behind him, it depended on his head, let him go where to reason.

"The minister deserves to die, please atone for the princess."

"It's okay to spare you, promise me one condition!" The little girl had already stopped crying, and raised her head and said happily.

"What conditions?"

"Take me out!" The little girl whispered.

"What? Out of the palace? Qin Yiming was shocked.

"Don't be surprised, be quiet!" Princess Changping was afraid that Qin Yiming's words would be heard by others, so she immediately reproached, looked like a little adult, and continued with her waist in her waist: "To bring or not to bring?" If you don't take me, I'll cure you of a great sin of disrespect, huh! ”

Qin Yiming stared at the little kid in front of him, although he was young, but the demeanor of the royal man was naturally formed, and his tone was not small, the little girl in front of him was the one-armed god in the future?

"Little princess, have you practiced kung fu now? Which master are you with? Qin Yiming's curiosity was bursting and he gossiped.

The little princess looked shocked and said, "How do you know that I can do martial arts?" My master is amazing, it is the Jinyi Guard who commanded Luo Yangxing, my father didn't know about this, how did you know? ”

"Ahh I don't know, I'm just seeing the princess in the next place, with extraordinary talents, and strange bones, and she is a rare martial arts wizard for thousands of years, hehe. Qin Yiming laughed dryly.

"Really? My master also said that I am a genius in martial arts, those boxing and swordsmanship, I basically already know, as long as I keep practicing, I will definitely be a strong man in the future, and I can protect my father and mother when the time comes! Xiao Changping's face was confident, and her eyes revealed the sincerity of the child, perhaps because she had heard too much about the adults, and she also wanted to share her father's worries.

Although Qin Yiming felt that this child's idea was naΓ―ve, he was full of admiration in his heart, and at the same time there was a trace of pity, he looked at the little princess's left hand, the hand was still there, but it might be lost in the future.

Okay, just take the little girl out to see the world.

"But princess, it's unlikely that I just want to take you out, this forbidden army in the Forbidden City is not blind, the princess is such a big person, I can't hide it!" Qin Yiming made a mistake.

"I have a way to do this, I can go out by myself, but the outside world is too big, you just need to wait for me outside the Forbidden City, take me out to play, and then send me back!"

"That's it? It's just to be a tour guide, the princess is afraid of getting lost, right? ”

"I want you to talk nonsense, this princess is still young after all, what should I do if I encounter bad people, and it's too big outside, it's normal to get lost! Last time I ran out alone, but I was scared and ran back. ”

"Yes, yes, then I'll wait for the princess outside the Donghua Gate."

"It's a deal!"

"Good!"
