Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Iron Curtain! Battle of Pingliao (3)
Zhenbei Pass. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When an agreement was concluded with the Russians, Huang Taiji obtained 300 arquebuses from the Russians, plus a gunsmith.
Three hundred muskets were bought by Huang Taiji from the Russians with fifty pieces of cooked cowhide, and the gunsmith was the will reached by both parties in the agreement, although it was a blonde and blue-eyed old man, but for this old man, Huang Taiji was regarded as a treasure, and he was offered delicious food and drink every day, just to make artillery as soon as possible, and to achieve the long-cherished wish of the Aixin Jueluo family for many years.
Over the years, in the face of the roar of the Ming army's artillery, Huang Taiji has a kind of timidity in the face of artillery, and artillery has become his magic barrier, so he is extremely eager for Houjin to have his own artillery.
And only in this way can the Central Plains of Drinking Horses be realized!
"Great Khan, it is reported that now Dolgon's army has traveled up the Liao River, and I am afraid that it will be able to reach the north pass of this town in a few days, but the Great Khan, the minions have a very strange matter."
At this time, Fan Wencheng's face was confused, but it was the truth.
"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say!"
"Great Khan, not long ago, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty paraded outside the Shanhai Pass, which should have made the world look sideways, but after the parade, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty disappeared like evaporation from the world, but something was abnormal!"
Hearing what Fan Wencheng said, Huang Taiji smiled unconsciously.
"Mr. is worried, but Ben Khan has also been worried, but according to the news, it is said that now the Ming Emperor is in his Taiyuan Mansion to patrol, how can there be anything strange at all, to show that although the emperor of the dynasty Xiao'er has won a lot of success over my Dajin over the years, but only relying on the benefits of artillery, his people are only ambitious and talented, and when my Dajin is also cast into a cannon, until the Shanhaiguan is broken, it will be necessary for the southerners to feel the fear of my Houjin Iron Cavalry again!"
......
Shanhaiguan, a Xiongguan of the Ming Dynasty, although the Jinzhou ----- Ningyuan defense line has been constructed, but the significance of Shanhaiguan is still self-evident for the Ming Dynasty.
"Ahem!"
At this moment, Sun Chengzong's mansion was facing a young man who was coughing with his face, but a string in the hearts of everyone present was tense.
This person is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jian.
To say that Zhu Jian used Li Daitao's stiff method to place himself in Taiyuan City with a royal car, but he quietly returned to Shanhaiguan overnight with the guard battalion and all the confidants, but the road was in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, it's important to take care of the dragon's body!"
In the face of the Holy Body, Sun Chengzong, the old minister, said the truth.
"It's okay, just rest for a few days."
Hearing this, Zhu Jian waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big deal, to say that in the past few years of coming to the Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Jian had expected that the task would be difficult, but to really take over such a big country that was once full of desolation, from quelling chaos, to maintaining stability, and then to now gradually recovering, it has taken Zhu Jian's countless efforts.
It is naturally impossible to be the shopkeeper, the reform is difficult, how can there be a slight negligence, if not, it will definitely fall into the abyss, so to speak, now in the empire, although there is a package of administrative teams, the cabinet, the imperial party committee, the political affairs bureau, the imperial military committee, and so on, but many of them rely on Zhu Jian's single-handedness, and only one hand to make up for the sky.
If you want to say that this world, but everything must bow to relatives, most of them die of fatigue, among which Zhuge Wuhou is one of the typical, at this moment the emperor Zhu Jian is not like this, but if you don't bow down to yourself, how can some things make people feel at ease.
Zhu Jianchang said that in the long river of history, he may not be able to change anything, but this spark of hope can give light to all those who walk alone in the dark, and he can do it.
But it is to light this fire, and it is difficult to bother with the result of labor, difficult, difficult, difficult!
It's as hard as the sky!
For example, a few months ago, Zhu Jian convened ministers in the Qianqing Palace to discuss the death knot of the change of dynasties, although the so-called people in charge of the house in later generations are a good medicine to get out of such a historical circle, but in such a feudal heyday, how can it be so simple?
What's more, politics is the plaything of the aristocracy, and it is the hand of the elite to cover the sky!
Zhu Jian often asked himself, why the people of the Ming Dynasty did not have the concept of family and country, after thinking about countless nights and going through many court affairs, Zhu Jian finally understood that the nobles covered the sky with one hand, and the people were safe, all they needed was a stability.
And where the dynasty belongs, and what does it have to do with them, the whole world is the royal land, the people have no sense of belonging at all, they don't feel anything about the rights they deserve, they are just lambs raised by the nobles, slaughtered at any time.
So for them, what is the difference between the dynasty and the country, anyway, everything does not belong to them, as long as they can survive, whoever is the emperor is the same, because for them, the only change is that on this high throne, there is a different person to sit on!
Zhu Jian understands that the root of the problem lies in the fact that the people have no rights in such a dynasty, and there is only endless exploitation, and the only thing that needs to be done to change the status quo is to create a sense of belonging for the people.
There is no shortage of culture, habits, and ornaments, but what is missing is a law, a law that makes all the people of the Ming Dynasty feel that they are in the empire, that they are citizens of the empire, and that they have the rights enjoyed by the citizens of the empire!
Glory belongs to royalty, empire belongs to subjects!
This is Zhu Jian's dream hope, but everything is not easy to say, giving the rights of the majority will inevitably touch the rights of the few, and the entire huge empire can maintain the coefficient for a hundred years, relying on the support and blessing of these few.
Once the cake of these people is moved, even if there is only a slight, it will be an earthquake!
The empire is bound to be turbulent, and now the empire is still in the eyes of the former enemy, if it is rash, it will inevitably cause unimaginable consequences, so Zhu Jian chose to throw bricks and lead the way, as for the result, everything must wait for a thorough domestic clarification before it can be implemented.
"But I don't know if I can make it to that time!"
Looking at the bright red that was lightly covered by himself, Zhu Jian sighed secretly in his heart, but the most important thing in front of him here was about the development of the situation in Zhenbei Pass.
"Taibao! I must keep my affairs in your house secret, and in addition, I have been recuperating for a few days, and the situation in Zhenbei Pass is all up to you! ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister will do his best!"
Regarding what Sun Chengzong said, Zhu Jian smiled, he was almost an old minister, and he was still so high-spirited, but Zhu Jian suddenly felt that he was too old.
"Lord Yang, Lord Li, after all, the Taibao is old, I can't bear it, you and the others are in charge of the cabinet department, and the other is the minister of the Political Bureau, so you need to do your best to help the Taibao here."
"Ministers should be like this!"
