1160 And the soldiers will be trained
After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he patted his ass and left, but the words he said were like a depth charge, exploding in everyone's minds.
Whether it is gravity, or a place that spans thousands of miles in less than an hour, or the possibility of landing on the moon, these kinds of statements are too appalling.
The identity of Emperor Chongzhen, and the fact that he spoke in such a wide court deepened the degree of surprise.
It was only after the emperor had already left, and the soldiers on the street had begun to withdraw, that everyone came back to their senses, and while they were gone, they all chatted excitedly about what had just happened.
Ordinary people, the more superficial, focus on the most surprising things.
"It's unimaginable that it doesn't take an hour to get to Jingshi. In my life, I have never been out of Yingtianfu! ”
"Why hasn't the moon come out yet? If it is really as the emperor said, then our children and grandchildren will really be happy, and they can go to the moon to see Chang'e, which is amazing! ”
“……”
And some readers, although they are also surprised by these topics, are more curious and want to know why.
"It turns out that everything is falling to the ground because of gravity. That is, there is also a powerful role between us? Do you feel it? “
"No, this son and the girl from Ruyuelou have gravity!"
"I'm serious, what is this air density or something? For the first time, I felt that there was a lot of knowledge about this invisible and untouchable thing! ”
"Birds fly in the air and fish swim in the water, it seems that there is a real similarity!"
“……”
Because he had just experienced the flying demonstration, because it was the emperor who spoke, most of the people believed it, so they were full of interest in the technology that the emperor said. Of course, there are some people who are skeptical. But when this kind of person speaks, he often attracts ridicule from his peers: "There is nothing that cannot be done, only the unthinkable!" You don't have enough brains, right? ”
"Can you imagine flying in the sky before? But now, don't you think that's the case? ”
"Only a saint like the emperor can come up with such a powerful knowledge. If you're like that, you can only go home and plow the land! Think about a vegetable rice, oil and salt every day to pick up the rest of your life! Such a complex and noble issue should be left to us to consider! ”
“……”
Of the millions of people in Yingtianfu, there are still a few who can directly hear the emperor's speech. But it didn't matter, as the crowd dispersed, the emperor's speech naturally spread. Even the topic of Ying Tianfu for many days has been focused on today's matter.
Such a shocking thing and the emperor's speech spread in the south of the Yangtze River at a rapid speed with the flow of people entering and leaving Yingtianfu. It can even be said that because of the flying matter, it is even more shocking than the self-propelled steamer, and this time in Tianfu, there is also the emperor's speech in front of all the subjects, which makes the scientific and technological knowledge in the south of the Yangtze River can be rapidly promoted, and there is a tendency to catch up with the popularity of the north.
For this situation, Emperor Chongzhen had actually expected it. This can be seen in the number of achievements in the contribution land. There is no accident, and it is extremely easy to do things among the people of the city, and there are already nearly 20 million achievement points.
In addition, it can also be inferred from the main group of the chat group, at least half of the remarks are talking about what happened in Ying Tianfu.
Emperor Chongzhen did not stay in the palace of Yingtianfu for a few days before disappearing again. This made the civil and military generals on the Jiangnan side behave like two people before. In the past, what is the official authority, but at this time, what is the official authority? I was completely puzzled, and they were very close to the people. Those who used to like to stay at home to raise fat have also become diligent one by one. Anyway, the officialdom atmosphere in Jiangnan is new.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen did not go to various places to inspect again, but took Sun Chuanting to the Jiangnan Shipyard and began to be busy with the affairs of the Yuedi Shipyard. As for Song Yingxing, he has to go back to his hometown first. The information he collected over the years had to be sorted out in person, and then brought to the Beijing Division to serve as a science and technology cleaner.
At this time, he had seen the power of science and technology, knew the charm of science and technology, and was so motivated that even when he went home, he sat in the car and looked at a set of science and technology books he took from Xu Zhengming. The degree of fascination has almost reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.
At the same time, Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor, was listening to his men's prayers. And the one-armed King Taron stood at the bottom and listened with great concern. If you are careful, you can see his remaining hand, which is faintly shaking, showing the tension in his heart.
"Great Khan, the last general sent someone to Dongwu, spent a lot of money to inquire from the Ming people there, the situation in the Ming country seems to be very bad, and there have been many Tusi rebellions in nearby Yunnan. It is said that the local government of the country does not have many troops in its hands, and the other Tusi are also ready to move......"
In this era, no one else can get information as quickly as Emperor Chongzhen and ignore the distance. The news that Shah Jahan's subordinates heard was obviously lagging news due to war, distance, and other reasons. What he told Shah Jahan happened to be the news of the most arrogant period of Yunnan Tusi a year ago.
Shah Jahan listened, but before he had time to speak, the king of Ta Long on the side was excited, and his hand trembled even more, and as soon as the man finished speaking, he hurried out of the ranks, knelt on the ground, looked up at Shah Jahan excitedly, and said, "Respected Great Khan, did you hear that?" At this time, Dongwu must be a big sweater. The Ming Kingdom is already in the twilight, no! In the future, maybe the respected Great Khan can use Dongwu as a base to invade Yunnan and defeat the Ming Kingdom. In this way, noble Great Khan, you are the first Khan of the ages! ”
Listening to the prospects he painted, it is impossible to say that Shah Jahan is not impressed. You must know that his great ancestor, Timur, was so eloquent and strategic that he also wanted to occupy the Ming Kingdom, but he died before he could leave the school, which was a lifelong regret. Among his descendants, there were such people, assuming that Timur did not die of illness on the way out of the army, perhaps he would have already conquered the Ming kingdom. They will be blessed in the rich land of Ming.
At that time, Timur's unfulfilled wish, his children and grandchildren, as long as they had a little ambition and felt that they had a little strength, would have this sweet dream. However, the Ming Kingdom was always strong, but they were torn apart, and this dream was buried deep in the heart of Timur's son Sun.
Today's Shah Jahan feels that the empire is already strong, at least from his title, you can see one or two. At this time, I heard that the behemoth of the country was already in the twilight of the western mountains. The sweet dream buried in the bottom of my heart, thinking of the ambition of being better than the blue, burned violently.
However, before he could speak, a civil official admonished: "Great Khan, now that we are at war with Persia, at this time, we must not go to war with the huge Ming State again!" The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and His Majesty's soldiers should conquer Persia first! ”
Hearing this, Shah Jahan couldn't help but feel a little colder in his enthusiasm. He is not a brainless man, otherwise he would not have led his empire to dominate this ancient land.
Military generals can only have military merits when they fight, so some generals immediately retorted: "What is Persia, we have a huge army, as long as we send a small part to the east, we can lay down a large territory for Your Majesty." Such a good opportunity, but you want to stop it, what do you think? ”
At this time, the military strength of the Mughal Empire was indeed strong. But in other words, it can also be described as reckless. In order to achieve imperial hegemony, successive emperors have vigorously expanded their armies, and at this time, they have actually affected the foundation of the Mughal Empire. However, because of the successive victories, these effects were minimized.
Wenchen naturally did not stop there, and began to refute again, so the palace was lively.
At first, Shah Jahan was silent, apparently thinking. But when he heard it, he found that they were arguing louder and louder, and the noise made his head hurt, so he went crazy. Inside the palace, it was finally quiet.
Seeing this, King Talong seized the opportunity, took a step back, and instigated Shah Jahan to occupy Dongwu, interrupting the Ming Kingdom's attempts to constantly arrange the vassal king to come abroad.
For Shah Jahan, he really could not ignore Persia. After all, there has been a war, a fight for Kandahar. This is the enemy in the open, and you can't ignore it. The final result was to send 5,000 troops, with King Taron as a guide, to attack Dongwu.
The Mughal army consisted of four units: light infantry, war elephants, artillery, and cavalry, but the empire's standing army had been sent to fight the Persians. Among them, the cavalry unit was the trump card army of the Mughal dynasty, and the main source of strength was the Rajputs in the north. The light infantry consisted mainly of arquebuses and archers, and the soldiers came from the townspeople.
The decision to use troops against Dong Wu is not to say that he will just leave. It takes time for the will to be heard, the organization of troops, and the mobilization of troops.
And in Bengal, after being under house arrest for a long time, the envoys sent by the Tang king also knew that something was wrong. With the cooperation of outsiders, he finally escaped and rushed back to Dongwu to report the news.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen naturally didn't know about the decisions that had been made by the Mughal Dynasty. However, while still inspecting the shipyard, he also received a message through the chat group.
Nguyen Phuc Nguyen and the remnants of the Portuguese, who fled to Laos, could not defeat the Ming Dynasty, but they bullied Laos. In Laos, burning, killing and plundering are like locusts, and every time they pass through a place, that place becomes a blank field. This remnant army did not dare to stay at the border close to the Ming Dynasty, and kept killing it in the south.
Laos, for the Ming Dynasty, is the Lao military and civilian propaganda envoy. For themselves, it was the Nanzhang Dynasty. Speaking of which, although this Nanzhang Dynasty has been established for a long time, it has often been bullied by its neighbors, and Annan and Dongwu have invaded many times. Even Nanzhang became a vassal state of Dongwu for a time, and its kings were all set up by Dongwu people. At this point in time, shortly after the death of their king, the new king, the younger brother of the original king, Wisse, had just taken over the throne.
At this time, the Nanzhang Dynasty was already like the Ming Dynasty in the original history, and it was already in the late stage. The remnants of the army who jumped over the wall in a hurry were attacked, and they didn't have the power to fight back. Although the Ming Dynasty had already sent people to warn, because of the alternation of the old and new kings, the corruption of the administrative system, and the erosion of the army, the warning of the Ming Dynasty did not have much effect.
When Emperor Chongzhen learned of this situation, he couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect it. Nanzhang has rotted like this. Most of Annam's army had already been transferred to Luzon. Although the guards army on the Yunnan side can still enter Nanzhang together with the guards army chasing the remnants of the army. But this operation finally made Emperor Chongzhen feel that the troops in the south were a little weak. After all, on the Nanyang side, it is estimated that there will be a big war, and the matter of increasing troops in Nanyang must also be put on the agenda.
On the northern side, it was originally the nine-sided town of the Ming Dynasty, but now that there is no enemy, the troops can be used, and the number is enough. However, the strength of the important towns of the Nine Sides is also too northern, and if he is transferred to the south to participate in the war, Emperor Chongzhen has reason to believe that the non-combat attrition is much more than the combat attrition. This climatic factor, water and soil factor, is not something that he can get through it.
To solve this insurmountable problem, the only way to solve this problem is to send troops from the south or places with a similar climate to the south. However, the guards and troops in the neighboring provinces have already been pulled over for training. The rest has not been pulled over, and without the experience of training, I am afraid that the loss will be a bit big.
After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen really came up with a solution. He immediately issued a decree to the Beijing division through the chat group, and dispatched a group of officers in the Beijing camp, that is, those from the new army, to all parts of the Ming Dynasty to train the troops of the local guards. In this way, although the renovated local guard army is still not as good as the new army that is being trained by the Beijing Division, it can at least raise the combat effectiveness of these local guard army to a higher level.
Many generals with a keen sense of smell were very excited after learning the latest situation, and it seemed that they still had military achievements to make.
Of course, none of this will affect Fengxin County, Jiangxi. At this time, it was also lively here, but it was not anything else, but the official in Songjiazhuang went home to save his relatives.
Songjiazhuang is also very famous in Fengxin County. Because there are two lifters here, or two brothers, known as "Fengxin Ersong", but it is a pity that after the middle lift, I have not been successful in the Jinshi examination for many years. But fortunately, Song Yingsheng, the eldest of the Song family, although he was born in a person, was selected by the Ministry of Officials in Chongzhen for four years, and finally had the opportunity to serve as the county magistrate of Tongxiang, Zhejiang. Now, he has been awarded the title of Wenlin Lang for his political achievements, and after returning to his hometown and province, he will be transferred to Enping County, Zhaoqing Prefecture, Guangdong.
At this time, he was sitting in the lobby, looking at the old mother on the throne and asking, "Mother, where is the second brother?" Isn't he at home to serve you? ”
Hearing this question, his wife rushed to answer for her mother-in-law: "Isn't the second uncle that kind of person, he likes those things that are not in the flow all day long, and he ran out last month. ”
