"I'm so angry with this king!"

Shang Kexi looked at the defeated subordinates, and sat back on the Taishi chair with an angry face.

But the next moment he was stunned.

He sat on the Taishi chair, looking up at the sky, and in the blue of the wash, a few faint traces of smoke were falling......

"Blossom Bomb!"

Wrap screamed beside him.

Shang Kexi didn't hesitate to get up and pounce forward, and almost at the same time, a dark shadow streaked across his field of vision, instantly crashing into the dirt in front of him. In the splash of dirt, a huge cannonball rolled towards his feet, and a little burning fiery red could be seen from time to time in the tumbling.

"Master, be careful!"

One of the coats screamed and pounced on the shell.

"Good, good minion!"

Shang Kexi said movingly.

Suddenly, there was a strange whistling above his head, he subconsciously raised his head, and a flame exploded in the sky above him, and the explosion of air and gunpowder instantly hit him, and Shang Kexi's rather sturdy body flew out upside down like a dog kicking away. And at the same time as he was blown away, the loyal coat was engulfed by the flames of the explosion, and the head that was blown away was like a heavy hammer, slamming into Shang Kexi's chest before he hit the ground. Shang Kexi, who was not hit by shrapnel and only suffered the impact of the air wave, was clearly dented in his chest under the blow to the head......

The next moment he smashed to the ground.

King Zhishun of our Great Qing Dynasty struggled to stand up in the explosion of other flowering bombs, and not far away his banner of the Chinese army was shattered in the explosion.

He then spurted out a mouthful of blood.

All at once he fell to the ground again......

King Zhishun was severely wounded by artillery bombardment, ending the day's fighting, and Dolgon paid a total of more than 10,000 casualties, with the only gain being a small landing ground on the Yellow River's beach. Even the Qing army attacking Heyin had to retreat and camp under the attack of the Shun army on the flank, and they were also broken through the defense line along the river by Yuan Zongdi upstream, and the Shun army that landed had already begun to prepare to attack Mengxian.

Fortunately, they also built a pontoon bridge.

After all, there are those blocked rafts, and it is no problem to rush to repair a temporary pontoon bridge on the Yellow River in this season, in fact, even if they are not repaired because there are too many of them, these rafts will also obscure the river.

But to the south of the bridge is the Yellow River beach.

Across the river beach is the Guangwu Mountain.

So this pontoon bridge is of little significance, at most it is faster to retreat.

Duoduo pauses the attack.

"Where's Gao Dejie?"

Yang Qing said.

At this time, he did not know the specific situation of the battle on the front line, after all, the distance was too far, and it would take two days for the fast horse to deliver the letter.

"The last report of the cavalry army was yesterday, it was sent from Caozhou, according to the time, it should be about to arrive at the battlefield at this time, but there are a lot of troubles encountered along the way, although there is no main force of Jiannu, but the armed forces of some local gentry are still quite a few attacks on them."

The staff officer said.

"Hmph, do you really regard Jiannu as the Holy Lord Mingjun?"

Yang Qing sneered.

This result is not unexpected, after all, now that the situation is clear, Li Zicheng has officially started Juntian in Guanzhong, and he wants to save trouble and completely copy the Yongyetian system in the Tang Dynasty, and Yongyetian is also not allowed to trade. Anyway, there is wasteland in Guan, although only part of it can be cultivated because of the climate, but sweet potatoes alleviate this problem, because the population is small, it is estimated that by the beginning of spring next year, he will be able to complete the average land in the Wei River basin.

Juntian in Shanxi began at the same time.

Li Zicheng and his subordinate generals are building their homeland with confidence, vowing to build an ideal country of great harmony in their hometown.

It's a big rebellion!

The Ming Dynasty also changed to a new policy for the gentry to pay for food as an errand boy.

And the autumn tax collection has already begun.

In the past, the summer tax was only levied in some areas due to the implementation of the progress of the implementation, but the autumn tax is the comprehensive collection of the entire Ming Dynasty in addition to the three southwestern provinces and the two Guangzhou, and the tax department has also begun to operate, and the tax and silver of the Nanjing household department will exceed 10 million taels this year.

It's more than in the past.

This is still only the beginning, because the new tax system of the Department of Taxation has only been partially implemented, and the border has just begun, and many landlords have not yet found out what they have hidden.

If they are all in accordance with the new tax system, then in this area alone, the stable tax revenue will be no less than fifteen million, compared to the five million that Shi Kefa counted for him at the beginning of Chongzhen's arrival in Jiangnan, Yang Qing's reform is fully implemented, which can increase the annual income to three times, which is not counting the land rent income of Huangzhuang after the militia of the future guard, and the income of the bank and the Ming version of the East India Company. And most of these were obtained from the landlords and big businessmen, although the southern gentry could only pinch their noses and endure the new deal because of the situation, but the northern gentry could see it all. Compared with the south, which was getting farther and farther away from the era of the lord and sage, the Qing Dynasty, which maintained the old system, was incomparably more brilliant, especially with regard to the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and Dolgon had shown the possibility of agreeing, so that he became more and more perfect in the eyes of the gentry.

On one side is the rebellious Junda system.

Or arguably an ancient version of gongchanism.

On one side was the frenzied gentry who were on an errand and paid for food and a military cabinet.

Or rather, militarism.

On one side is the gentry peasant nu mastery.

Or slavery.

So in the bizarre war of these three different systems, who did the gentry support?

Slavery, of course!

As for the rest, the culture is regressive, the nation is gone! Loyalty! It's all worth mentioning, interests are the most important thing, compared to which tenant's daughter is casually on, the sage book is a fart! Besides, it's okay to read the books of sages and sages at the same time, and their ancestors haven't done this kind of thing.

And now it's time for the decisive battle.

Whether the Holy Lord Mingjun can achieve great things depends on the outcome of this decisive battle!

"It's all rubbish!"

Yang Qing said disdainfully.

"Master Hou, Ganzhou is in a hurry, Gui is sick and dying!"

A staff officer hurriedly walked in and spoke.

"Who succeeds to the throne!"

Yang Qing said.

"Zhu Youying."

The staff officer said.

"Give him one last chance, surrender, and then come to the funeral of Emperor Daxing as a concubine, otherwise he will wait for death!"

Yang Qing said.

Originally, in history, Yongli and his brother inherited the title of King Gui, and after Zhu Youyan's death, Yongli took over his brother's title, but Liangguang couldn't take care of it for the time being, and the latter didn't have the courage to attack, but as he expected, he was trying to win over those toasts. It is said that the number of subordinate troops under the Guangzhou court has expanded to 100,000, and half of them are patchwork of toasts from all over the world, since they are so good, let them continue, drain the young men of those toasts, and then slap them to death.

Now let's make do with it!

In fact, he even transferred back the Second Army that was originally stationed in Hengyang and was replaced by two armies that had not yet completed the reorganization, and after the Second Army was transferred back, it went directly north from Chaohu to reinforce Henan, and finally made the strength of the Ming army in Henan reach two infantry corps and one cavalry corps.

This is also the permanent garrison of Henan in the future.

The Ming army, which was becoming more and more firearms, became more and more dependent on logistics, and it was difficult to supply more troops. Because safety cannot be ensured, the materials on the front line in Zhengzhou are not going through the Yellow River, but from Fengyang to the north by taking the two lines of the Vortex River and the Yinghe River, which can eventually enter the Jialu River and reach Zhengzhou directly, but because of the inability to pass large ships and the countercurrent, the volume is not large. In the future, even if the canal and the Yellow River are used for transportation, it will be difficult to transport too many materials to Henan when it is still necessary to transport grain to Li Zicheng.

More importantly, his military production capacity is also becoming more and more strained.

Not to mention that gunpowder alone is enough.

An infantry brigade of all kinds of artillery, bird guns, and a salvo of guns is a few hundred pounds of consumption, not to mention those flowering grenades.

The front line is fighting heartily, and the craftsmen in those workshops in the rear are all tired like dogs, which is fortunate to have the equipment department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to take over the military industry, and then there is a more scientific management of the previous Jinyiwei Ordnance Institute......

Of course, the main thing is the improvement of the treatment of craftsmen.

In fact, at this time, all the workshops under the Equipment Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office were militarized, and all those craftsmen were either registered in the military or militia, and those with military status could be promoted to become generals, and those senior craftsmen even enjoyed the treatment of senior generals, and the craftsmen who made flintlock pistol springs for Yang Qing enjoyed the treatment of commanders. It is precisely by relying on this that the production capacity and quality of the Ming military industry can barely supply the front line, but even so, whether it is the material of gunpowder or high-quality iron ore, even the charcoal for iron smelting, and the copper and tin for artillery, these are all nervous, Yang Qing has even begun to pile up nitrate to make saltpeter, and iron smelting has to start using coke.

It is gratifying that the hydraulic machinery he made in the Jinyiwei Ordnance Institute was also used extensively.

It even includes a hydraulic boring machine.

Of course, not in the real sense, just a rudimentary machine with simple treatment of the inside of the barrel, the earliest similar thing in Europe, appeared in the fifteenth century, Yang Qing and Song Yingxing designed it slightly better, but it was only barely able to process bronze.

In short, his life is not easy.

The problem of money was solved, and the problem of the industrial scale of the Ming Dynasty became what he had to face, but fortunately it was only a battle of tens of thousands of people, if it was really 300,000 Ming troops, he would not even be able to supply ammunition at all. So for him, maintaining a total of five armies on the northern front with less than 100,000 troops is the limit of what he can bear, and these five armies cannot face a large-scale war at the same time. If the two armies on the Eastern Front were to fight like the First Army, then he would not even be able to supply the ammunition for these 100,000 men, and this is not to say that the current but the planned confrontation period in the future. At present, his production capacity and transportation capacity can only guarantee one army at most, and if Dolgon has the ability to counterattack Dongping with an army of 100,000 troops, then he really can't guarantee it, and he really has to let some soldiers pick up cold weapons again.

If the south attacks the north at the same time, it will be a real tragedy.

So just say a harsh word. (https:)
