Chapter 1178: Kong Youde receives the order
The Yamen of the North Town Mansion of the Ming Dynasty Jingshi quietly had a figure, and when the new Emperor Chongzhen Emperor ascended the throne, he wantonly abolished the Jinyi Guard, and there were few people left here.
The increase in the number of people now can only indicate one thing, and that is that the emperor intends to reopen the factory guard.
The young emperor gradually discovered that things were not as simple as he had thought, and that those virtuous Confucians were not all selfless.
The reactivation of the Jinyi Guard was only a temptation, and it immediately attracted the opposition of the Manchu civil and military forces.
Faced with the twists and turns piled up in the imperial study, Zhu Youzhen didn't have a good way for a while. But Jin Yiwei sent a secret report that attracted the emperor's attention, that is~ the emptiness outside the gate.
Although the Changxing Army is strong in combat, the cost of raising troops is also an astronomical amount. Just letting the soldiers eat meat every day is a lot of silver dollars, not to mention the soldiers' sophisticated equipment.
Although it controlled a large area of land, the number of Changxing troops was always small. In particular, the foundation of the Changxing Army in Liaodong is only more than 20,000 soldiers.
This time, a large number of soldiers were mobilized to clean up the grassland horse thieves, and less than 10,000 soldiers were left in Ningyuan City in the entire Liaodong.
This news was placed on Chongzhen's desk, and the young emperor was immediately moved.
Zhang Dou and his Changxing army are sharp arrows hanging on Zhu Youzhen's head, and there is a possibility that a sword will fall down at any time.
Although countless bunkers were built near the border walls, everyone knew that it was just self-deception.
As long as it is possible, the Changxing army can land anywhere on the long coastline of the Ming Dynasty, and once the Changxing army lands, it will be unstoppable.
Chongzhen was awakened countless times in a dream, in which Zhang Dou broke through the Jingshi, stepped on the Forbidden City, and trampled him, the emperor, under his feet.
He didn't want to see that kind of scene in his life, and blindly defending was not a long-term solution at all. The treasury of the Ming Dynasty could not support the construction of so many forts, and only the elimination of Zhang Dou was the fundamental solution to everything.
This Liaodong emptiness is the best opportunity, as long as Zhang Dou in Dingliao City can be solved, and the imperial court will send people to Zhao'an, the entire Changxing army will be self-defeating.
Kong Youde of Shanhaiguan has been doing well recently, and the imperial court is keen on the firearms of the Changxing Army, and he is particularly concerned about his firearms battalion.
There was never a shortage of food and salary for his firearms battalion, and even Chang Li's drift was reduced by 20%, which made his life as a general soldier more comfortable.
Most of his soldiers were veterans brought from Dongjiang Town, and military discipline was not available to them at all.
I don't have much ability to fight, and I am an expert in causing trouble. In three days, the two heads fought with the soldiers of other departments, and the governor Qiu Hejia had a headache.
Finally, this scourge army is leaving, and Qiu Hejia is eager to set off firecrackers to celebrate Kong Youde's departure.
"Big brother! Why did the imperial court transfer us to Denglai? There's nothing wrong with that, right? Li Jiucheng caught up with Kong Youde on the march and asked in a low voice.
Kong Youde said a little indifferently: "Didn't the appointment say that we bought a batch of artillery from the Franco machine man and asked us to receive it!" What's so strange about that?
Denglai is better than that small place in Shanhaiguan! It's good that we're stationed there! ”
Li Jiucheng didn't think so, he whispered: "Big brother! Denglai is close to the sea, what if the imperial court asks us to attack Liaodong by sea? ”
"Shhhh......h Kong Youde suddenly gasped when he heard the words sea route and Liaodong, and attacked the Changxing army by sea? As long as the navy has seen the Changxing Army, it will not have this kind of thought, and it is not such a way to die!
Kong Youde thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Maybe...... Maybe...... Can't! Then it's better to give our brothers some poison, and one person can have a good time! ”
There was a sudden silence in the procession, and no one continued to speak during the march, and the originally lively march became dull.
Along the way, the people of Shandong had a very bad impression of this army fleeing from Liaodong, and harassing ordinary people was commonplace, even the rich gentry were not spared.
Ordinary people dare not speak out, but this group of squires and rich families are not fuel-efficient lamps. Each one is inextricably linked in the imperial court, and a letter of letters was sent to Emperor Chongzhen's desk, but these pieces were like stones sinking into the sea without a sound.
In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the combat effectiveness of a soldier was directly proportional to the degree of harm to the people. The more the army can be tossed, the more effective it is, as long as Kong Youde can complete the task, such a small thing as disturbing the people is not enough to worry about at all.
The emperor's connivance made Kong Youde's army even more unscrupulous, and it had already caused resentment among the people of Shandong before it reached Denglai.
When Kong Youde saw the artillery all over the ground, he was almost blind.
Underground were all Franc cannons, but they were used on ships, each of which was placed on a low, four-wheeled gun carriage.
These are trivial things that can be turned into land artillery by building a new artillery carriage.
The dozen or so guns were all from a Franco-armed merchant ship, and they were dumbfounded when they entered the East with their cargo.
This place is not what he imagined, since crossing Africa into the Indian Ocean, Ming ships have appeared on the sea one after another.
During a storm at sea, the kind captain saved a Ming ship, and this kind act of wanting to understand the East saved the ship.
Following this Daming sea ship, Captain Franco saw the strong side of Daming at sea.
The ships with the blue flag of the sun and the moon often plundered other merchant ships, and he escaped by following the ships of the Ming people.
Once in Manthorna, the captain realized how lucky he was that the existence of a smuggling permit had legalized piracy.
Only by hoisting the banner of the sun and moon of the Changxing Army can he avoid becoming the target of others, and the captain who bought the flag of the Changxing Army knows how stupid he is.
In the East, there is no need for naval guns and other weapons, and even if there are naval guns, they are no match for the Ming pirates.
Without naval artillery, his armed merchant ships could carry more cargo, and he could sail in the East without the need for long voyages.
He only needed to transport the goods to the end of the Red Sea, where it would only take a short overland route to get them to the west.
The other pirates on this route were all wiped out by the Changxing army, and they could sail safely even without naval guns.
The captain immediately decided to unload the ship's guns and join the vigorous transport army.
These naval guns were transported to the south of the Ming Dynasty by sea, and the imperial court learned that there were Furang machine guns and immediately transported them to Denglai in Shandong by ship.
Kong Youde didn't have long to be happy, when he heard the official on the side say, "Kong Youde takes the order!" ”
