PS: New book friend group number: [241626717], interested book friends can add it, it is also convenient to discuss the plot, and the book review area only reads and does not reply; Also What types of muskets are there in Macau? What are the practical models?

As soon as Qian Qianyi did this, the Donglin Party was even more unbearable, and the entire organization fell into a completely split situation, and was divided into three parts at once. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 First of all, it is the opposition faction, which is mainly composed of the capable cadres of the Donglin Party, such as Zhang Shenyan, Gao Hongtu, Liu Zongzhou, Jiang Yueguang, Lu Daqi, etc., and also includes other Donglin party members who have been in the opposition.

The rest are in the DPRK, and this part includes the other two groups of people, one of which is the neutral faction led by Qian Qianyi, although they are still nominally called the Donglin Party, but in fact they have basically broken away from the organization and become a part of the political forces that wander between the Ma, Nguyen and Donglin parties, and their principle of action is to be light and light, don't look for me if you have something. This is not to be done in the DPRK.

The Donglin Party that contributed to the DPRK was mainly represented by Xu Shilin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Zizhuang, the head of the Ministry of War, and Wu Shizhong, Luo Wanxiang, Guo Weijing, Zuo Guangxian, etc., who continued to support and tried their best to cooperate with the opposition party members within the imperial court, and they would find the defects and loopholes of their political opponents at any time according to the changes in the situation in the imperial court and wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Due to the large number of people, they have all tightened their tails, and there are few flaws, so Ma Shiying can't do anything about them for a while, considering that there is no threat to his power, so he doesn't chase and fight anymore.

Zhu Youhua also felt that it was enough to stop, and he also needed other forces to balance the Ma and Ruan parties, which were gradually expanding in power, so he successively pulled Qian Qianyi and Du Yinxi into the cabinet, just to avoid Ma and Ruan from being anti-guest and uncontrolled.

Only Ruan Dacheng is very unwilling, has always been jealous of the past Donglin Fushe children Dafa "Stay in the capital to prevent chaos and public exposure", collective expulsion and humiliation of his great hatred, he gave full play to the villain's characteristics of retribution, lobbied to win over the original eunuch party members such as Yang Weiyuan, together planned to write a new version of the "Donglin Point General Record" ------ "Locust Record", and then added "Continuation of the Locust Record" and sister article "Fly Gnat", in which Ruan Dacheng compared the Donglin Party members to "locusts" through image borrowing, and let the children of the Fushe play "locusts", Get ready for an insect feast.

The "Records of the Locusts", the "Records of the Continuation of the Records of the Locusts" and the sister chapter "The Records of the Flies and Gnats" included a total of more than 1,100 children of the Donglin Party and the Fushe, which not only broke through the limitations of replacing people with people in terms of metaphors, but also far surpassed the previous work in terms of the number of people on the list - the "Records of the Donglin Point Generals", which only had 108 people.

Ruan Dacheng carried the emperor behind his back, and made frequent moves in private, quite a posture of vowing not to give up if he did not wipe out those children of the Donglin Restoration Society.

……

At the end of August, when Zhu Youhua was immersed in farming and training, an attendant came to report that the Imperial Horse Supervisor Pang Tianshou Pang Gonggong had fulfilled his mission and had successfully returned from Entrenchment Jingao (Macao) after a month, and now he had entered the city and was waiting for His Majesty to see him. Zhu Youhua was overjoyed when he heard the news, and was busy announcing Pang Tianshou.

Pang Tianshou, Shuntianfu Daxing people, Chongzhen Dynasty for the imperial horse supervisor palm seal, Li Chuang captured Beijing shortly before the capture of Beijing, Feng Yu to Nanjing, Hongguang Emperor, in charge of the two Guangzhu Pond. He was ordered to go to Fujian and Liangguang to collect taxes, and then heard that Nanjing had fallen, so he served Emperor Longwu and was reappointed as the celebrant and was reused.

He joined the Catholic Church as early as the Apocalypse, and the famous Father John Tong who baptized him, because of his close contacts with the missionaries, Pang Tianshou has always had a good relationship with Westerners.

In the first year of Longwu (1645), when the Qing army invaded Fujian, Longwu had no military power in his hands and was subject to Zheng Zhilong everywhere, so he hoped to obtain Western military aid from Macao through the Jesuits. In the second year of Longwu (1646), Emperor Longwu sent Pang Tianshou and the Western missionary Bi Fangji to Macao to ask for help.

In real history, Pang Tianshou finally borrowed 300 Portuguese spearmen from the Macao authorities, as well as a few Hongyi cannons, but at that time Emperor Longwu had been captured and killed, so Pang Tianshou took 300 Portuguese soldiers to Emperor Yongli.

In the Yongli Dynasty, he also developed the queen mother, the empress and the crown prince of Yongli into believers, built a church in the palace of the Yongli emperor, and took the queen mother, the queen and the prince to worship Jesus together, and the banners of the Yongli guards were also painted with crosses and Latin......

In addition to the cultural aspect, Pang Tianshou also understood Western scientific knowledge, and he presided over the casting of a batch of Hongyi cannons, which played a certain role in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty.

This old eunuch is a baby!

For this allusion, Zhu Youhua, who was familiar with the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty in his previous life, was naturally no stranger, he made the best use of his things, and once he monopolized power, he reused Pang Tianshou.

Hearing that the emperor was going to summon him, Pang Tianshou had just entered the city with hundreds of Portuguese people and hundreds of carts of artillery, muskets and other ordnance, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he entered the palace non-stop to face the king.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youhua looked at Pang Tianshou, who was covered with wind and frost and his clothes were covered with dust, and shook his hand with emotion, and said: "Pang Companion has worked hard for the society, and it has been hard and bumpy all the way. ”

"The old slave is not hard, and it is the blessing of the old slave to be able to serve the heavenly family." Listening to the emperor's words of concern, Pang Tianshou's eyes were slightly red, and he felt that the bumps and displacements along the way in January were worth it.

Zhu Youhua held back the excitement in his heart, and did not rush to ask Pang Tianshou about recruiting troops and purchasing arms, he gently patted Pang Tianshou on the shoulder, and said: "The eldest companion will go to the mixed hall (bathhouse) to freshen up first, and I will personally pick you up and wash the dust in the Qianqing Palace later." ”

It took about an hour for Pang Tianshou to freshen up and dress.

When he got out of the mixed hall, a small chamberlain stepped forward and said: "Master Pang, go to the side hall of Qianqing Palace with the little one, the emperor has prepared a banquet there, and he has been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

Pang Tianshou smiled and nodded, and walked towards the side hall of Qianqing Palace under the guidance of the little inner supervisor.

When he entered the side hall, there were several red fires burning in the hall, and a warmth greeted him.

There is a mahogany table of eight immortals in the hall, and there is a charcoal fire in the center of the table, on which is a pot of boiling mutton soup, and there are more than a dozen dishes such as braised beef, roast chicken, steamed goose and a few pots of wine next to it.

Looking at such a sumptuous meal, Pang Tianshou, who had been bumpy on the sea for a long time, couldn't help but salivate.

However, after seeing Zhu Youhua sitting in the middle again, he hurriedly restrained his embarrassment, knelt down in front of Zhu Youhua, called his name loudly, and then bowed to Ruyi.

After he sat down, Zhu Youhua held his wine glass high and said, "Over the past month, the huge companion has really worked hard, I salute you!" After saying that, he drank it all.

"The old slave is terrified, terrified!" Hearing this, Pang Tianshou hurriedly got up, held the wine glass high, and drank it all.

"Come on, come on, eat meat and eat meat, don't be too formal."

Zhu Youhua knew that Pang Tianshou wouldn't be able to move if he didn't move his chopsticks, so he took the lead in putting a piece of meat in his mouth.

Seeing that the emperor stretched out his chopsticks, Pang Tianshou, who was already hungry and panicked, was no longer formal, and sent meat to his mouth in a big gulp, and the soup and gravy on his cheeks were quite happy.

Zhu Youhua kept persuading wine while asking Pang Tianshou about going to Jingao to recruit soldiers and buy ordnance, his expression was quite affectionate, Pang Tianshou used the wine, and he was no longer so scruples when he spoke, what to say, and the atmosphere in the banquet was quite harmonious and warm.

He said that 33 Furlong gunners were recruited from Entrenchment at a high price this time, most of whom were retired veterans and veterans of gunnery. There were also 50 musketeers and more than 100 seamen and sailors who were proficient in water warfare and sea navigation, more than 30 shipwrights who could build large ships, more than 10 gunsmiths who could build Hongyi cannons, and more than a dozen missionaries who were proficient in Chinese and Portuguese as translators. In order to attract these technical talents to Nanjing to work for the Ming Dynasty, the settlement fee alone cost 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver.

When he went to Macao, he took a total of 400,000 taels of silver to the south, and requisitioned more than 200 sand boats and fortune boats.

A total of eight 12-pound heavy fortified red cannons were purchased, each of which was 1,500 taels.

Twenty-six medium-sized field Hongyi guns of 8 to 10 pounds, each with 800 taels.

Sixty-three light field Hongyi guns of 4 to 6 pounds, each with 400 taels.

At one time, the small and medium-sized field Hongyi artillery accumulated in the warehouse of the Macao Bugarao Cannon Foundry was emptied. Just a hundred Hongyi cannons cost fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, which is the reason why Zhu Youhua specially instructed Pang Tianshou to buy more small cannons and less heavy cannons.

Those small and medium-sized Hongyi cannons, Zhu Youhua estimated that the cost would be more than 100 taels at most, and they were sold to Daming several times, and the profits were too high, and a Hongyi heavy cannon cost thousands of taels of silver. If Daming makes it himself, he can at least build dozens or hundreds of tiger squat guns, and Hongmao Fan is slaughtering Daming as a pig!

If it weren't for the long time it took to build himself, and he didn't have time to equip the imperial camp, he would definitely not go to buy cannons from the black-hearted Portuguese arms dealers!

In Zhu Youhua's view, Hongyi cannons are expensive, slow rate of fire, slow reloading, slow turning, difficult to form dense vitality, limited effect on people and horses, and the effect of defending the city and field warfare is not very good, so there is still some use when attacking the city, so there is no need to treat the Hongyi cannon as a standard artillery.

The current situation of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youlang was more optimistic about the Ming army's previous vehicle-mounted light artillery flow. The car battalion formed a field battle, and the medium and long-range were dominated by light Fran machines with fast rate of fire and small tiger squat guns that fired shotguns; Supplemented by firearms such as turtledove foot guns (similar to the late Qing Dynasty), bird guns, hundreds of tigers running arrows and a swarm of bees, with foot soldiers stabbing out from the gap between the car formations, and finally the cavalry cooperated with the pursuit of the remnants of the enemy, which was a good strategy for field warfare.

Therefore, self-made artillery is king!
