Chapter 57: Pre-War Mobilization
At the same time, the development of landmines also began with the first stone shell, filled with gunpowder, inserted into the fuse, sealed and buried in the ground, and camouflaged. When the enemy approaches, the fuse fires, detonating the mine. The trigger mode has been improved, and the trigger methods such as ignition, pulling, tripping, and machine hair have been added. The power of the mine has also been significantly improved compared to before, and the whole body of the mine has been replaced with an iron shell, and the gunpowder has been greatly improved due to the use of the best ratio.
It is worth mentioning that after five years of development, the Flying Tigers have grown from the previous 300 elites to the current 3,000 elites. Each of the 3,000 elite soldiers was armed with a 10-type firearm and was issued with a bayonet. In addition to this, the Flying Tigers had a cavalry of one hundred and fifty men. These cavalry are not only responsible for field communications, but can also use their great mobility to inflict devastating blows on the enemy.
Qi Long said confidently: "Your Highness, now the three thousand elite soldiers of the Flying Tigers are all elite soldiers, although the subordinates dare not guarantee that everyone has the skills of their subordinates, but it is not a problem to fight ten against one." β
Zhu Cihong nodded after reading it and said, "Qi Long, you have worked hard all these years. Hongu handed over these players to you, you trained very well, Hongu is very satisfied. β
Qi Long said embarrassedly: "This is not the credit of the ministers alone, but also the credit of Wang Yong and the elements. β
Zhu Cihong sighed: "Yes, if there is no element to improve the bayonet fighting technique, I am afraid that the palace will have to work hard, Wang Yong trained the cavalry of the palace is also good, presumably if this is on the battlefield, these 3,000 elite soldiers can defeat 30,000 male soldiers." β
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong was very glad that when Chongzhen wanted to kill Yuan Chonghuan, he saved Yuan Chonghuan. It's just that the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, Yuan Chonghuan was still beaten with sixty military sticks and directly demoted to the common people.
Seeing Zhu Cihong coming over, Yuan Chonghuan and Wang Yong hurriedly rushed forward and saluted respectfully, "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" β
Zhu Cihong hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said helplessly: "Wang Yong, elemental, how many times has this palace said it, don't be so troublesome!" There's really no way to take you, all the members of the Flying Tigers are here! β
Wang Yong reported loudly: "Back to Your Highness, all the soldiers of the Flying Tigers should be three thousand and six, but there are three thousand and six people, and none of them ask for leave, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inspect!" β
As soon as the words fell, the three thousand flying tigers on the martial arts arena knelt down and saluted.
"Participate in His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
The sound of neatness and excitement sounded in the martial arts arena, and the momentum was deafening.
"Okay, get up!"
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" After speaking, three thousand people stood up neatly.
Zhu Cihong cleared his throat and said: "Recently, the Japanese Palace received news that civil strife has broken out in the Japanese Kingdom now, and there is no time to care about the Japanese invaders who invaded my Ming Dynasty. What do you think, brethren? β
In the martial arts arena, a sturdy man hurriedly said, "Then what else do you say?" Just fuck the fuck. Those who commit my great wisdom will be punished even if they are far away. Even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu calls, we will drive him out. β
Wang Yong couldn't help but hold his forehead after hearing this, and said helplessly: "Liu Kun, I've been reading the book for a year, you are still so short-tempered, Your Highness said that we are civilized people, and we can try not to scold our mother if we can." β
Zhu Cihong smiled after hearing this and said: "Liu Kun's words are very good, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away." This palace knows that most of you joined the Flying Tigers in the first place just to have a bite to eat. Now not only are you all full, but all of you in the family are full. β
"Yes, Your Highness, I just couldn't live at the beginning, I just came when I saw the Flying Tigers recruiting soldiers, and I stayed in the Flying Tigers for three years, and now I not only married a daughter-in-law, but also my daughter-in-law has my old Liu's species. All this is the credit of His Royal Highness, if it were not for His Highness, I am afraid that my old Liu would have starved to death on the streets. β
"Now it is not outsiders who are being bullied by the Japanese in the South China Sea, it is our brothers and sisters, it is our compatriots, you say that if someone breaks into our house and bullies our brothers and sisters, what should we do?"
"Naturally, teach them a hard lesson and then drive them out."
"This palace doesn't want to fight either, and people will die if they fight, but everyone else rides on our heads to and pee, what should we do?"
Three thousand people shouted in unison: "Defend our homeland to the death!" β
"Are you afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Well, tomorrow's palace will invite my father and emperor to personally lead you to the South China Sea to pacify the Japanese invaders. The Flying Tigers will not return to Beijing for a day. Even to the last man, the Flying Tigers will drive the Swifts out of our land. β
Yuan Chonghuan heard that Zhu Cihong was going to recruit in person, and hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, this matter must not be done, after all, you are still young, you must not do such a dangerous thing!" β
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Why not? Could it be that this palace wants to watch its soldiers fight bloodily in front, and this palace hides behind as a shrinking turtle? β
After hearing what Zhu Cihong said, the three thousand Flying Tigers stopped in unison: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take back his fate." We will live up to Your Highness's expectations and drive out the pirates. β
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "This palace believes that you will not let this palace have an accident!" β
Qi Long hurriedly said: "Qi Long promises that as long as there is one person in the Flying Tiger Team alive, he will not let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be harmed in the slightest!" β
Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said: "Okay, everyone go home and explain to your families, and tomorrow the Japanese Palace will invite my father and the emperor to personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion." β
The next day, when the morning court was in the morning, Liu Qingyuan, the squire of the military department, stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Japanese are making trouble on the coast of the South China Sea of the Ming Dynasty, and I ask Your Majesty to send someone to quell the rebellion." β
Li Sancai hurriedly stood up and stopped: "Your Majesty, don't do it at this time." The treasury is now empty, and it can no longer afford to fight. β
Liu Qingyuan hurriedly retorted: "What does Lord Li mean, do you just let the Japanese invaders do evil in my Ming land?" β
Li Sancai hurriedly said: "That's not what this official meant!" It's just that now the treasury has no extra money and food to support this war. Where are the immortals in war, and how will the issue of bereavement for the dead be dealt with once the dead are in battle? β
After hearing this, Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Which Aiqing is willing to go to the South China Sea to quell the rebellion?" As for the problem of food and grass, I personally tried to solve it. β
As soon as the words fell, the generals present looked at me and I looked at you, and no one dared to stand up. Nonsense Now that the treasury is empty, even if you can take out grain and grass, how much can you take out? Counterinsurgency is not a matter of a few days, in case the fight lasts for a long time, even if the grain and grass are cut off, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you will not be able to return to the sky.
When Chongzhen saw that no one was willing to stand up, he immediately became angry and shouted, "What? No one in my Ming Dynasty dares to lead troops to quell the rebellion? β
Seeing that no one stood up, Zhu Cihong stood up and said: "Back to my father, my son is willing to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to the South China Sea to quell the rebellion!" I hope that my father will approve it! β
After listening to Zhu Cihong, the military attaches present were ashamed of themselves. It was their business to defend their families and the country, and when they were needed, no one stood up, so they could only let a nine-year-old kid put down the rebellion for them.
Li Sancai hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, don't do it at this time!" After all, the crown prince is still young, how can he know the cruelty of war, in case His Royal Highness the prince has three longs and two shorts, then ........"
Zhu Cihong hurriedly interrupted Li Sancai's words, and said in a cold voice: "Lord Li is so optimistic about this palace? Okay, if you don't go to the palace, how about you, Lord Li, lead the troops to quell the rebellion? β
When Li Sancai heard this, he hurriedly refused: "Then how can it be done, the lower officials are only civilian officials, and the matter of marching and fighting is the business of the military attachΓ©, and this matter is not under the control of this official." β
Liu Qingyuan saw that no one was willing to go to quell the rebellion, so he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead troops to the South China Sea to quell the rebellion!" β
Chongzhen hurriedly stopped: "Liu Aiqing should not mention this matter again, you have just gone south from the north of the imperial gold people, and now your injuries have not recovered, how can you take your injuries to the expedition?" β
