Chapter 943: Bombardment

It's no wonder that Li Pingzhi is so arrogant, the young man is ambitious, Mao Wenlong is the general Pei General Yin Shang Fang Sword Commander, Mao Chenglu is also a martial arts three-grade, the former Xinpingbao town guard general Lai Tongxin is also a three-grade, the people of the whole fort are looking up to their noses, the Lai family comes out of a house slave and the people of the whole fort have to be respectful, Li Pingzhi saw Lai Tongxin's majesty when he was a teenager, how could he ever think that one day, he could lead people to bombard the general's mansion and play with the dignified military attache on applause?

The boat is full of young people, and when it is done, he will do it, without the slightest hesitation, although Zheng Shaolai feels a little careless, but after thinking about it, it seems that he is driving a warship to coerce the general army of the Ming Dynasty, which seems to be a rare brilliance, and although Zhang Xuwen is young, he has always acted steadily, and he is still a cousin of Lord Zhang.

At present, the big ship began to anchor and raise its sails, preparing to make a detour to find the official's residence area, the mansions of Mao Chenglu and others are built in the west of the island, three or four hundred steps away from the coast, all within the range of artillery, the scenery in the west of the island is very good, the terrain is gentle and there are sandy beaches, there are many generals who have built houses here, and now Dongjiang Town is not like when the town was first opened, a few years ago, Mao Wenlong led 200 people to the island, one poor and two white, there was nothing, the general soldiers also lived in temporary huts, ordinary generals could only sleep in tents. In the past few years, although there is no military salary for the imperial court to open the town, but the reward is a lot of internal silver, plus the materials allocated by Denglai, and the right of Dongjiang Town licensed by the imperial court to operate trade, the life of the military and civilian people on the island is still very difficult, but the life of the generals is much better than a few years ago.

When the big ship circled the island, because it was too conspicuous, the people on the island quickly noticed the big ship and quickly reported it to Mao Wenlong.

……

When the cannon sounded, Mao Wenlong's face became extremely ugly.

For so many years, since the battle of Zhenjiang he has not encountered danger, although the general army is a military position, but Mao Wenlong has always been determined to move, several actions are no danger, today began to hear the sound of cannons, so that he was surprised that although he was in the center of the island, he was actually in danger?

"And Yusheng dare!" Mao Wenlong got up angrily, pushed the window and looked, faintly saw the flames rushing to the sky, his face instantly turned iron-blue, and he had a double feeling of shock and humiliation.

"My son is saying that He Yusheng's eyes are higher than the top, and he is also self-contained on Phi Island, and he has never taken us seriously. The people of Liao who have seen the soldiers of the merchant group with Yusheng are all thinking about the merchant group, but they despise the town, and this time it is good, just pull out this nail......"

Mao Chenglu was bent on fighting, chattering and persuading Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong glanced at him and said: "Mao Chenglu, you are still too anxious, you must be calm in doing things, and you can't start purely from likes and dislikes......"

At this time, a pro-soldier from outside came in and reported: "Marshal, a person claiming to be a member of Yuan Junmen's staff has come to ask for a meeting. ”

"Yuan Gong's staff?" Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, his face changed greatly, and said: "It's a coincidence, he came here at this time, presumably on a boat with Yusheng." ”

If the matter in front of him was Heyusheng's family, Mao Wenlong was still thinking about solving it by force, but as soon as Yuan Keli's staff came, Mao Wenlong suddenly felt that things were complicated.

Mao Chenglu's face was as pale as earth, Yuan Keli was the governor of Denglai after all, and the imperial court granted Yuan Keli the right to control Denglai, and Chen and Liangce Liupintong were also ordered by Yuan Keli to check the Dongjiang River...... This is also where Mao Wenlong's confidence lies in making trouble.

But if it is revealed that Mao Wenlong sent troops to intercept and kill such officials as Chen and Liangce, Yuan Keli will add fuel to the fire, and the historical untruthful military achievements will be played to the imperial court, and the two sides will be attacked, and under the fear of the imperial court, whether Mao Wenlong's position can be kept, it will really be between the two.

After all, the imperial court does recognize the important status of Dongjiang Town, but if Mao Wenlong has become a feudal town that openly kills the imperial court's officials, is unruly, and has a backbone in the back of his head, what use does the imperial court want?

At that time, it is not impossible for Mao Wenlong to throw it out to atone for the crime, and it is not impossible to change the opportunity to stay in office!

"Alas......" Mao Wenlong thought for a moment, and instructed his own soldiers: "You reply to him like this: Although Yuan Gong treats me well, but at this time there is already a dispute in official affairs, and it is inconvenient to see him before the matter is resolved...... Remember, just say so. In addition, seal a red envelope of ten taels with him...... No, seal twenty taels. ”

The soldiers agreed to go, but Mao Wenlong was still not quiet, the rumbling cannons kept coming from the west, and the people near the Yamen of the general army were boiling, very noisy and noisy, Mao Wenlong was upset, got up and said: "Let's go, go and see what's going on." ”

Mao Wenlong went out of the signing room only to find that there were already a lot of Tang horses waiting outside, the general's mansion area in the west was very damaged, and it was very badly bombarded by heavy artillery, Mao Wenlong didn't believe it at first, because the time of the artillery bombardment was very short, and he had never seen the artillery fired, the momentum was terrifying, and the effect was just like that.

However, everyone was aggressive, Mao Wenlong was a little flustered in his heart, he married a concubine here and gave birth to a son, and he also lived in the general's mansion area in the west, if he was accidentally hit by a cannonball, it would be very bad.

With all kinds of worries, Mao Wenlong galloped westward surrounded by his own soldiers and Mao Chenglu and other generals, and began to encounter a lot of crying and crying officials and relatives running here along the way, bringing the old and helping the young, family members and maids and women followed, everything on Phi Island is expensive, that is, the servants are the most economical, and even as long as they give food to eat, they can buy a family as a servant, each family uses a lot of people, and the road to the official residence area is quickly blocked by these people, and Mao Wenlong is not easy to get angry...... Of course, he is the biggest in business, but now he can't ask his own soldiers to push away the dependents of his subordinates, right?

Fortunately, after a short time, the sharp-eyed soldiers found Mao Wenlong's concubine and the subordinates in the family, Mao Wenlong was overjoyed, jumped down and looked at his young son first, he was already old, and he stopped this son under his knees, and it was impossible to say that it didn't hurt.

Mao Wenlong's concubine cried with tears on her face, but she still knew that she was a little decent, and her voice was not loud, so she only sobbed and said, "Master, the concubine should never see you again." ”

Mao Wenlong said quietly: "Nonsense." ”

"Master, the cannon was too fierce, the sun and moon were dark, and the sky and the earth were cracked......"

Mao Wenlong laughed angrily and said, "Then how did you escape?" ”

The concubine said: "It's strange to say, the cannon is weird, but there has been no cannon down, and then we ran far away, and only later did we say that the cannon fell." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded lightly, his face showed arrogance, and he said in his heart: "I see, I don't expect that Yusheng and Yusheng really want to tear their faces with me!"

The concubine looked at Mao Wenlong, then at Mao Chenglu behind him, and said, "But I heard that General Mao's mansion was beaten very badly. ”

Mao Chenglu was anxious when he heard it, Mao Wenlong said: "Don't worry, as long as the family members have not been injured, the mansion is just a trivial matter." ”

Mao Chenglu still has a bitter face, he can't compare with Mao Wenlong, it still costs a lot of silver to build this mansion, and there is a lot of gold and silver in the house, and the furniture is also bought from Dengzhou and sent by sea boat, you can imagine how much it costs.

walked forward for a while, and saw Mao Chenglu's concubines crying all the way, also saying that the mansion was bombed very badly.

When everyone rushed to the mansion area, they saw that a large number of mansions were bombarded by artillery fire, among which Mao Chenglu's house was really the worst one that was bombed, the artillery fire was almost concentrated on this mansion bombardment, after the saturation bombardment, dozens of houses of the mansion have been bombed to smithereens, the house collapsed, those furnishings and displays, furniture and antiques, as well as celebrity calligraphy and paintings and gold and silver soft of course, not to mention, everyone looked at each other, Mao Chenglu was angry, someone pointed to the sea and exclaimed: "It's released again!" ”

Mao Wenlong squinted at the sea, today is a sunny day, the sea is blue, and the blue sky seems to be connected together, and the sky is full of white clouds, adding a bit of scenery.

On the sea, there is a big ship with sails parked, and Mao Wenlong didn't take it seriously when he heard people talk about big ships, but at this time, he saw it with his own eyes, Rao is well-informed, and he couldn't help but be taken aback at this time.

This ship was really big, more than twice as big as all the merchant ships before Yusheng, and what was even more terrifying was that the hull not only had cannons on the bow and stern, but also gun emplacements on both sides of the ship.

The big ship on the side of the sail sea is aimed at the west bank, there are more than ten cannons, all of which are the level of Hongyi heavy artillery that Mao Wenlong knows, each cannon is really deafening, earth-shattering, such as lightning and flint, such as thunderbolts, in the firelight, the artillery is fired one after another, and the heavy cannonballs fly with a whistling sound, and in each middle house, you can hear the crackling sound of the deafening houses being hit by the cannonballs, and then you can see the cannonballs piercing the roof, hitting the arch and flying eaves, and several cannonballs fly to, The five-bay house was razed to the ground in an instant, and when it came again, even the yard was shattered, and there was no trace of what it looked like before.

In the rumbling cannon, no one shouted or spoke, and no one could hear anything else except the sound of the cannon that seemed to be the power of heaven and earth.

The people on Phi Island, except for a few female dependents, ninety percent are not soldiers but also fleeing Liao people who have seen sword soldiers, once upon a time, how could they have imagined that they could see such a powerful artillery fire?

The artillery of the Ming army is mainly based on the cannon of the general and the second general, most of them are hundreds of thousands of pounds of small cannons, the design is backward, the craftsmanship is rough, the Franc machine guns fished up from the sea are imitated into the main artillery of the Ming army firearms, in recent years, it is to fish out the shipwrecks of the Portuguese, to create the shipborne artillery on the ship, the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty began to imitate again, and the casting was successful, that is, the so-called Hongyi cannon.

In the battle of Shenyang and Liaoyang, there was no Hongyi cannon, Liaoyang city head has more than 1,000 large and small Buddha Lang machine made by the Ministry of Industry, but unfortunately it was not fully utilized, to the battle of Ningyuan in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the Hongyi cannon only shined, the so-called cannon eroded more than ten miles, the cannon captured the chief, and the group of captives cried and left...... Of course, it is impossible to have a cannon for more than ten miles, the Hongyi cannon made by the Ming army is also slowly improved, and the Ming artillery at the end of Chongzhen has indeed caught up with and surpassed it in technology, but the artillery technology in the sixth year of the Apocalypse is not good, although the weight is about 6,000 catties, the effective range is at most within five miles, it should be about 18 pounds, the power is really not small, the battle of Ningyuan, and the battle of Dalinghe, the battle of Ningjin, the Ming army relied on the cannon of Jiancheng, and the Jurchens did not have a temper at all. Comparing Liaoyang and Shenyang and the Battle of Guangning at the beginning of the Liaodong War, there is really a difference between whether there is artillery or not.
