Chapter 406 Lin Dan Khan raids Kadang City
He Xiaomi has been following Li Zicheng for a long time, and he is rarely so reckless, especially when he is secretly meeting Guo Shijun, Li Zicheng feels that the situation is not good, could it be that Hong Chengchou destroyed the secret agreement so quickly?
He asked suspiciously, took the message and swept it with his eyes, his whole head immediately became half a foot bigger, and his whole body was like eating popsicles on a snowy day, and it was suddenly cold from top to bottom!
Seeing Li Zicheng's eyebrows locked, Guo Shijun naturally knew that this was by no means a good thing, "Since the governor of the capital has something, his subordinates will retire first, and in two days, his subordinates will go to Gansu Town to investigate...... "This is what he agreed with the governor of the capital, if Longyou Province can achieve self-sufficiency, then the current Gansu town will be included in the category of Longyou Province, and the Gansu military town and heavy taxes will be abolished."
Li Zicheng obviously didn't hear what Guo Shijun was saying, his eyes could hardly find focus, he didn't know what he was looking at, and he didn't even notice Guo Shijun saying goodbye and leaving.
"Dadu Governor ......" He Xiaomi had never seen Dadu Governor so out of shape, and he called out in a low voice.
"Immediately, immediately, notify Zhou Bin and Shuangxi to come to see me!" After Li Zicheng came to his senses, he only said one sentence.
Although He Xiaomi didn't know what was going on, Li Guo and Zhou Bin were both the chief officials of the Seven Thousand Households, and it must be a major military event, so he didn't dare to delay, so he reluctantly saluted and hurried out.
After a while, Zhou Bin and Li Guo came to the study almost at the same time, "Metropolitan Governor! ”
"The military situation is urgent, you don't need to be polite," Li Zicheng didn't give up his seat, Junyi's face was so cold that it almost dripped water, "Go back immediately to prepare the equipment and the grain and grass for three days, day and night, and leave immediately when the preparation is over, the cavalry of the Shuangxi Division, each carrying a gunner from the Zhou Bin Division, I will arrange the auxiliary troops to follow and transport the grain and grass of the army." ”
"Yes, Grand Duke!" Li Zicheng was also taken aback by Li Zicheng's seriousness, bowed down, and hurriedly exited the study.
Although Zhou Bin was also nervous, he was much older than Li Guocheng, "Governor Dadu, the direction of our march?" ”
"Kadang Mountain! In the direction of Kadang Mountain, the cavalry of the Mongols was found again, more than last time! Li Zicheng only said vague numbers, but in his heart, this was the biggest challenge the Mandate of Heaven Army, more difficult than Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi, and if it was not dealt with properly, the Mandate of Heaven Army would most likely disappear.
If the Mandate of Heaven Army is defeated in the imperial court, although he is unwilling, he can accept it, it is the Huaxia brothers, although the concept of ruling is different, but they are the guardians of Huaxia, and the basic direction is still the same.
In case the army fell at the feet of the Mongols and let the iron hooves of the Mongols set foot on the land of Xining again, then he would be a sinner in Xining, and even more a sinner in China!
Li Zicheng was puzzled by the fact that in the history of later generations, the Mongols did not raid the western corner of the Ming Dynasty, so why did Lin Dan Khan personally attack the city of Kadang today? Is it so difficult that when you come to the Ming Dynasty, even the history of the Mongols has changed?
Or was it the cavalry that annihilated hundreds of Maili cadres in Kadang City last time, which attracted Lin Dan Khan's revenge?
As the last Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, didn't Lin Dan Khan fight with the Jurchens in the Monan steppe at this time? Could it be that the descendants of this golden family have been conquered by the Jurchen Tartars? Or was it an alliance with the Jurchen Tartars?
There will be no answers to these questions for the time being, even if Guo Shijun is here, he can't make a decision, history has changed, and no one can make it repeat!
Entangled in this, it is no longer useful, we must repel Lin Dan Khan's attack, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!
Li Zicheng returned to the rear office, before the expedition, he had to say goodbye to his wife and concubines, Li Guo They went back to prepare grain and grass, and it also took a certain amount of time.
Gao Guiying heard that Li Zicheng was going to go on the expedition again, and her eyes were full of melancholy, but she knew that the current Heavenly Mandate Army would never be able to tolerate others bullying her, a thousand words, all the instructions, only turned into one sentence: "Zicheng, you must take care, my sisters, and our children are all waiting for you to come back!" ”
"Guiying, I am the Metropolitan Governor, so naturally I have to take the lead," Li Zicheng held Gao Guiying's head in his arms, "Don't worry, which battle, I won't win completely?" ”
"Hmm!" Gao Guiying arched her head desperately into Li Zicheng's arms, although many younger sisters were still watching, she really couldn't take care of it, she had a faint feeling that this time the battle, the Mandate of Heaven Army would not be too smooth, if it wasn't for the urgency of the military situation, Zicheng would never have sent troops so soon.
In order to comfort Li Zicheng, she pretended not to know anything, but just hugged Li Zicheng's waist and refused to let go.
"Okay, don't let my sister laugh at it," Li Zicheng patted Gao Guiying's back, with his usual chuckle on his face, trying his best to pretend that nothing happened, "Kadang City has already been built, and I haven't seen its panorama yet, so it's a tour." ”
Gao Guiying had to let go of her hand and let Li Zicheng say goodbye to the rest of the ladies one by one, even Mu Sirong was rarely not left behind, although she was worried about Li Zicheng, her heart was happy, and she wished that such a farewell scene would appear once a day.
Sun Mengjie is resting in the bedroom because she is pregnant, and she has already sent someone to inform her, this time she hasn't come over yet, Gao Guiying wants to wait for someone to call again, Li Zicheng waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll go see her!" ”
Pushing open the bedrooms, Sun Mengjie was dressing up in the mirror, she had just conceived, sitting in front of the dresser, her lower abdomen was not bulging, if Li Zicheng hadn't known in advance, she wouldn't have seen that she was pregnant.
Sun Mengjie wanted to show her best side in front of her husband when she went on the expedition, so she took a long time to make up, and when she heard the door ringing, she turned around and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Sir!" ”
She held her long messy hair in one hand, and threw herself at Li Zicheng shyly, "The student hasn't finished her makeup yet......
"My Jie'er is the most beautiful at any time." Li Zicheng opened his arms and welcomed her into his arms, smelling that the fragrance on her body was very mixed, and he smiled slightly, it turned out that when did this girl secretly use perfume, the magic of perfume is really not something that a woman can resist.
Sun Mengjie silently knelt in Li Zicheng's arms, but her heart was very useful, and after a while, she said leisurely: "Mr. will make fun of the students!" ”
"How dare I make fun of Jie'er?" Li Zicheng leaned down slightly and pecked her forehead, Sun Mengjie's little jasper temperament is indeed Li Zicheng's favorite, "If you don't finish your makeup first, I'll take a look and see if I can compare with Guanyin Niangniang!" ”
"Sir, don't you dare to talk nonsense......" Sun Mengjie muttered in her mouth, tightened Li Zicheng's waist, and then got out of Li Zicheng's arms, sat in front of the dresser, and continued to put on makeup.
Li Zicheng also followed up, looking at the glass mirror while looking at the people around him, except for the left and right faces turned upside down, there was almost no difference, "Jie'er is really my heart......"
He stopped talking suddenly, and in the glass mirror, Li Zicheng saw his own avatar, which was originally an extremely normal thing, but he thought of another thing.
In 215 BC, the ancient Roman Empire sent a powerful navy, led by the Roman general Marcellas, to attack the ancient Greek city of Syracuse with warships.
At this time, the men of ancient Greece were fighting outside, and only the old and weak women and children were left in the city, and they had no ability to fight at all, and it was difficult to even pick up swords and guns.
People pinned their hopes on Archimedes, who lived on the island, and although he was in his late teens, although he did not have peerless martial arts, he had a brilliant mind, and people asked Archimedes to use his extraordinary wisdom to find a way to break the enemy.
The bearded Archimedes, a scientific magnate who knew the power of the sun, stepped forward and mobilized the women of the city to the shore with their shiny vanity mirrors.
Under the scorching sun, Archimedes picked up a mirror and let the reflected sunlight fall right on the sails of the enemy ship, and Archimedes gave the order, and he shouted: "Let the reflection of the mirror shine here!" ”
Countless women followed Archimedes' example and used mirrors to concentrate the sun's rays on the sails. Suddenly, the enemy ship caught fire, and the invincible Roman navy was punished by the gods and returned in terror.
Of course, this may be a legend, but it is simply a place of infinite reverence for Archimedes.
In order to determine the truth of the matter, in 1973, the Greek engineer Sacas organized 50 sailors, each with a rectangular mirror, to concentrate the reflected light on a small boat, which smoked after a few seconds and caught fire two minutes later.
This is a record of later modern times, and it should be credible.
As for such "solar" weapons, there is a reason why they rarely appear on the battlefield later, such weapons must appear in the sunny season and time, and the target of the attack must move extremely slowly, or even a fixed object, before it can be effective.
In Li Zicheng's hands, there are no huge glass mirrors like Sakas, they are all small glass mirrors that are only twenty or thirty centimeters and easy to transport, but they can't hold a huge number.
If you can gather all the glass mirrors in Xining, Lanzhou and other places, you will definitely have the result you want, if not to burn the Mongols to death, at least you can burn them, and there are tents soaked in oil by the Mongols......
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng had made up his mind, he hugged Sun Mengjie, who was still grooming, and kissed her on the cheek, "Jie'er is worthy of being Mr.'s heart, and is worthy of being the Guanyin Niangniang in Mr.'s heart, with your help, I will definitely be able to easily defeat the Mongols this time......"
Sun Mengjie's heart was rippling for a while, she thought that Li Zicheng was going to take her "sacrifice flag" before going on the expedition, so she hurriedly said: "Sir, don't ...... There is a gentleman's child in the student's belly......"
When a woman says no, it is to remind the man that she wants it! It's just that the current Li Zicheng is full of Mongolian cavalry, as well as the secret weapon against the Mongolian cavalry - glass mirror.
He put down Sun Mengjie and gave her the most tender kiss on the forehead! Then he rushed out of the bedroom.
Sun Mengjie just had a little meaning, but Li Zicheng let go, and immediately gave a sad look, "Sir, what's wrong......
At this time, Li Zicheng was giving an order to He Xiaomi, who was packing up: "Collect all the glass mirrors, whether you buy or borrow!" ”
