Chapter 24 Reading Jingyuan

200,000 quintals of grain can help Li Zicheng a lot, and if Li Zicheng lasts one more day in Hubei, the pressure on Zheng Jue and Nanming will be relieved, after all, Li Zicheng is now almost reduced to the point of returning to the mountains to fight guerrillas

Li Guo took 200,000 loads of grain and grass and left, Zheng Jue received another news, a news that shocked the entire Ming people - Yangzhou 10 days Yangzhou 800,000 soldiers and civilians were slaughtered, for a time the whole country was shocked, and even the merchants who came to Jingyuan City were a lot more, it was really coming, the Qing army was really about to fight Jingyuan

On the day of receiving the Yangzhou Mansion report, Zheng Jue received an order from the Ministry of War to set up a new Jingyuanwei, Zheng Jue ordered the expansion of the army by 6,000, Jingyuanwei suddenly became a regular army with 12,000 soldiers, and a large number of firearms were installed

The firearms unit of 5,000 people, which is equipped with 200 improved tiger squat guns, the gunners are equipped with hand guns, and the rest are equipped with arquebuses

The 4,000-person cold weapon infantry team, of which 1,000 people are equipped with strong crossbows, the standard configuration of ordinary infantry has also become a spear with a short knife, and the armor is protected by iron plates except for important parts, and leather armor is used in the rest of the place

There are 3,000 cavalry left, and the total number of cavalry has not changed, but Zheng Jue entrusted Zheng Zhilong to smuggle war horses from the north, and strive to achieve one person and two horses, and the cavalry is each equipped with a gun and a saber, and the saber Zheng Jue ordered the ironwork workshop to be made of all steel, and some things have to be willing to spend money

Zheng Jue divided the 12,000 people into 10,000 households, each with 500 guns, 400 infantry teams and 300 horse teams, each team was equipped with 20 tiger squat guns, and three test thousand households were added between the 1,000 households and the 100 households, which managed the three teams respectively, and then were commanded by the 1,000 households

With the maturity of the military system, Zheng Jue decided to hold a military parade, just under the city of Jingyuan City, to give peace of mind to the people of the Ming Dynasty, who had been in chaos, and told these tens of millions of Han people that in the Ming Dynasty and Guangxi, there is still such an army that can fight

The location was held outside the only gate of Jingyuan City, Zheng Jue built Jingyuan City at that time and left only one gate in order to tell the people of Jingyuan City in the future that people are outside, outside the city, there is only this gate, there is no way back, only a war, in fact, Zheng Jue found a cave in the back mountain, and it is necessary to withdraw from Jingyuan from the cave, but it will not be made public until it is absolutely necessary

During the military parade, Zheng Jue invited Zhu Zhijian and Cao Ye to watch the ceremony, in fact, Zhu Zhijian had given Zheng Jue an order before, Zhu Zhijian had collected 100,000 troops from Liangguang, including 50,000 wolf soldiers, this expedition, the purpose is to recover Guilin, the Great Western Army was expelled from Guangxi, Zhu Zhijian is the only time in his life that he is so hard-hearted, this time Liangguang is pouring out, if he is defeated, Sun Kewang can take Liangguang without much effort

In fact, Zhu Zhijian was also stimulated by Zheng Jue a few times ago, and the battle was actually very simple, this time Guangxi's Tusi was provoked by Sun Kewang and sent out 50,000 wolf soldiers, plus Huang Degong's battle report was tens of thousands of people who defeated 800,000 troops, no matter what the morale of the Ming army was, Zhu Zhijian's fighting spirit was very high anyway

Zhu Zhijian, Cao Ye and Zheng Jue sat on the tower of Jingyuan City, waiting for Zheng Jue to start the military parade, Zheng Jue knew that from this moment on, he would really intervene in the entire historical whirlpool and change its direction step by step

As a cannon rang out at the city gate, the audience was silent, only the sound of "da-da" horseshoes stepping on the concrete floor, and the first to walk was five hundred cavalry,

Five hundred cavalry first put their arms under the handcuffs and fired a shot into the sky, five hundred handguns were launched, none of them exploded, a shot and the whole audience was silent, the mountains and rivers were eye-catching, after a shot quickly put away the handcuffs, and then quickly pulled out the saber and quickly rushed through the venue, hundreds of scarecrows have been placed in the center of the venue, after a sharp sound of knives out of the sheath, the scarecrow formation was rushed upside down, none of them was a prototype

I don't know who cheered, the audience was in an uproar, applause rang out, Zheng Jue ordered another cannon to be fired under the city tower, several cavalry entered to clean up the scarecrow, and then the infantry formed a neat phalanx and strode into the venue, the commotion of the venue was covered by the sound of neat steps, and people looked at the distinctive armor and neat queue in front of their eyes

Suddenly, without any warning, fifty red-clothed cannons on the city tower fired in unison, Zhu Zhijian and Cao Ye's faces instantly reappeared, seeing Zheng Jue's calm expression, he knew that he was embarrassed again, and the fifty cannons fired in unison, all of them hit the target ten miles away from the venue, and after the venue was silent, there was a torrential applause

After two hundred tiger squatting cannons bombarded the mountain, the people in the venue clearly felt that the earth was trembling, Zheng Jue smiled brightly on the city tower, while drinking tea, followed by a few musketeers phalanx and infantry with the same pace, neat queue into the venue, the audience was eye-catching, to the middle of the venue, all pulled out bayonets, the sound of stainless steel cutting through the scabbard came, and then with Zheng Jue's order gun sounded, the musket phalanx fired guns to the sky at the same time, and the cyan smoke filled the audience, but no one in the audience felt choked

Zheng Jue saw that the eyes of the people at the venue rekindled their longing - the desire for a peaceful and prosperous world

There was not a single slogan, not a single order, there was only the sound of neat steps, the sound of horseshoes stepping on the concrete floor, the explosion of guns, and - the applause of the people

There is no trace of festivity, there is only a killing atmosphere in the venue, this is an army that really wants to go into battle to kill people, an army that has really killed people, and what Zheng Jue saw in the entire military parade was a strong murderous atmosphere, turning all the invaders into powder!

After the military parade, Zheng Jue held a simple iron horn, and now the city tower began to read the thief's inscription, Zheng Jue's voice echoed in the venue, this echo is not just a speech, it seems to be like a lullaby, so that the hearts of the fleeing people can be calm, no need to panic and not be afraid, because there is an army protecting them

“…… Yu Yu Jingyuan New Town, through the Tartars of Jiangbei, Yu has his own elite soldiers here, whoever offends my China, although strong will be killed, although the strong Han is weak, there is no rampant place, I warn the chieftains of Jiangbei Zhuyi, lead the neck to be killed"

A few months later, a news spread all over the country, and a new city was built outside the city of Wuzhou in Guangxi, called Jingyuan, and there was an elite army in Jingyuan City, an elite soldier who could drive the Tartars out of Shanhaiguan

Once a nation has ignited hope and does not go against the grain in numbness, then what will greet the invaders will be an undying resistance, just like the eight years of national war in the previous life
