Chapter 41: Preparations for Entering Mongolia (2)
When the four of them were having a happy meal, Chongzhen looked at Xu Guangqi and suddenly said, "Xu Aiqing! You have so many foreign friends, do you have anyone who has studied this artillery shooting, Lu Aiqing, tell me how accurate our soldiers' shelling is now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Lu Xiangsheng stopped his chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty! The accuracy is not ideal, but it can meet the most basic requirements!
Xu Guangqi listened to it and said: "Lao Chen's friend is not very good at it, but the shooting of this cannon can be based on mathematical theory, and the minister has no time to study, but Lao Chen's friend knows some Portuguese non-commissioned officers in Macao, as long as the court has the intention and pays the corresponding reward, it is not difficult to invite them to guide our Ming soldiers!" β
Chongzhen nodded and said: "Then this matter will be handed over to Aiqing, and those friends of yours will have the opportunity to bring me to see them another day, as long as they are talented and willing to serve my Daming, I will make them officials!" β
Xu Guangqi was overjoyed when he heard this: "The old minister does his best, thank you, Your Majesty!" There should be no problem! β
"Good! By the way, now the problem of the new artillery is stuck in the quality of the cannon steel, so you can ask your friends or ask your friends to consult their friends if there are people who have more research in steelmaking to discuss and learn from each other, but we can't let them know that we are used to make artillery, and I will ask Jinyiwei to investigate whether anyone in the southeast area has been to RB to RB steelmaking, and those who have more research in ironmaking will be transferred to Beijing when the time comes! It's not okay to do it behind closed doors! Chongzhen said.
"Lao Chen understands! Thank you for your majesty's reminder! Xu Guangqi said.
When Chongzhen's side of the monarch and ministers were happily eating, Wang Zaijin also received the will from Chongzhen, and hurriedly ran to find Lin Dan Khan, Lin Danhan saw Wang Zaijin, and his heart suddenly came for no reason: "Why is this guy coming to Yin Ben Khan again?" But he still said calmly: "Wang Jingluo is here for an important matter?" β
"Great Khan! Good news! First of all, I received information that the ordnance and firearms escorted by General Cao would soon arrive, and the Great Khan should be ready in the next few days! In addition, in line with the friendly and cooperative relationship between Ming and Mongolia, our Majesty also sent another elite army into Mongolia to support the Great Khan! β
"Elite Division? In addition to Guanning Iron Cavalry, you are Ming? The other armies are really not optimistic! Lin Dan Khan said contemptuously.
Wang Zaijin smiled when he heard this: "Don't blame the Great Khan, Great Khan, you are really lonely and unheard!" Our elite division of the Ming Dynasty is not just a Guanning Iron Cavalry! There are a lot of Ming warriors! For example, I came to Jingying this time. Just last month, the Great Khan of ZLQ was almost completely annihilated in North Korea, and you can send someone to verify it, and because of this, ZLQ did not participate in this battle this time, and Mang Gurtai did not come! β
When Lin Danhan heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, but he still asked, "It's good to come to support!" But this military salary is not out, but there is no contract for it! β
Wang Zaijin smiled: "The Great Khan is too worried! His Majesty the Emperor said that in line with the friendly cooperation of our Ming and Mongolia, this army is supported free of charge, and the military salary is paid by our Daming! β
Lin Dan Khan nodded, anyway, if he wants him to come out, he will refuse, Wang Zaijin looked at Lin Dan Khan's expression and continued: "Great Khan! In addition, His Majesty the Emperor also said that he hoped that in the future, we would all be able to cooperate amicably, so this time we also specially presented 20,000 sets of armor and other equipment to the Great Khan! β
Lin Dan Khan was stunned, yo ho! This emperor pit Ben Khan, and now he knows how to make some compensation, hum! I thought that this would calm Ben Khan's anger! How naΓ―ve! However, on the surface, he still pretended to be grateful: "So! Then please Wang Jinglu Dai Ben Khan, thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor! β
Wang Zaijin nodded: "Great Khan! Then I'll go out and make arrangements! β
Lin Danhan smiled and waved his hand, and then the tent fell silent.
At this time, on the other side of the road to Xuanfu in Liaodong, a group of 10,000 iron horsemen was galloping, and the cities they passed were all passing by in a hurry, without stopping, bringing a gust of wind.
"Look! This is the elite Guanning Iron Cavalry, what are they doing in such a hurry? Could it be that the Jingshi is out of the school? I haven't heard of it! "The soldiers who basically passed through the city were discussing whether something big had happened.
And at this time, the leader of this Guanning Iron Cavalry is Yuan Chonghuan, and he also brought a Zuo Liangyu and He Kegang! Zuo Liangyu performed well and was promoted because of the last Korean War, and Yuan Keli also wanted to cultivate him, so he was sent to come with Yuan Chonghuan this time, and He Kegang, Yuan Keli is also more assured, sometimes Yuan Chonghuan will be impulsive, Yuan Keli feels that He Kegang is more calm, and Yuan Chonghuan can be reminded at a critical time, so he was sent to follow Yuan Chonghuan, basically nothing to say along the way, Yuan Chonghuan's heart was also complicated at this time, it turned out that his subordinate Cao Wenzhao is now the governor of Xuanda, or such an important feudal official, Suddenly higher than himself, now although he is also the governor, but there is a sub-word, there is a Yuan Keli on the top, although after this period of time he has learned a lot from Yuan Keli, and the person is also a lot calmer, but it is still uncomfortable! And there has been no war in Liaodong recently, and he has no chance to perform meritorious service at all! Originally, he wanted to ask for war during the Korean War, but Yuan Keli objected and asked him to be in Liaodong to prevent Houjin from having other actions, and finally sent Zuo Liangyu, and as a result, he was promoted through meritorious service, and Houjin in Liaodong didn't do anything at all, so he sighed! Now His Majesty suddenly ordered Liaodong to send troops to fight in Mongolia, and he immediately asked for battle, this time he can't miss it! Originally, I thought that Yuan Keli would let him be in Liaodong in case of any accidents, but I didn't expect Yuan Keli to be accurate! At that time, Yuan Keli said this: "Elemental! The Korean War does not send you to the war, firstly, to prevent accidents in Liaodong; Second, you can't use your talents to fight in Korea, and you can't have a good time, right? And this invasion of Mongolia requires a person to coordinate the battle situation, this is suitable for you, do it well! The old man is looking forward to you playing the majesty of my Liaodong Army in Mongolia! And the old man heard that Jiutai will also go to the war this time! You can cooperate well with him, and by the way, learn from Jiutai about the cooperation of various arms, especially with various firearms armies, which is also very important for your future development! Remember! All right! That's all, the old man is here to prepare a celebration banquet for you and the soldiers, waiting for your triumphant return! β
Yuan Chonghuan also understood, but no matter for himself, or to live up to Yuan Ge Lao's good intentions, or for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he must win this battle!
He Kegang said on the side: "Governor Yuan, we will march day and night, and we can go to Xuanfu in two days, let's go to the front city to rest!" β
Yuan Chonghuan looked at him, and then at the others, although all of them still maintained their spirits, they still revealed fatigue, so they nodded and said, "Okay!" Let's take a break ahead! Take a break! β
Entered the city, the governor hurried to receive, Yuan Chonghuan politely refused, just asked them to help get some good forage for the horses, and then the soldiers took off the dry food they carried with them and ate it, drank some soup sent by the governor and closed their eyes to rest, Yuan Chonghuan sat on the ground and directly took out the map and began to look at it, this map has been drawn by Wang Zaijin before, and the deployment plan was marked to Emperor Chongzhen one by one, and then Chongzhen sent the map directly to Yuan Keli, and now it is transferred to Yuan Chonghuan's hands, He looked at the map and slowly fell into deep thought. He Kegang and Zuo Liangyu on the other side didn't bother, they just looked at him quietly, and recuperated by the way!
In the end, the coalition forces of the Houjin side had also arrived in Xila, and Huang Taiji ordered to set up camp and rest again, reorganize the army, and send a large number of reconnaissance troops to begin to explore the nearby situation.
