Xie Lian was shocked to see the security army's artillery exercise, if the security army had a large number of such artillery, it would force the security army to rebel, and the security army would be a huge threat to the imperial court. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Xie Lian couldn't help but ask Zhang Chu about the number of artillery.

"I have more than 100 pieces of this kind of artillery in Shandong, and if the raw materials are sufficient, dozens can be produced in the near future." Zhang Chu didn't hide anything from Xie Lian, and exposed his strength.

"Can you make this kind of artillery yourself?" It is simply shocking that a small staff general can cast artillery by himself, and what is even worse is that this staff general used to be a thief, and now he seems to be very dissatisfied with the treatment given to him by the imperial court. Xie Lian was shocked and asked a question to which he already knew the answer.

"Of course, we made this cannon, and we can't build it if we want to build it anywhere else." Zhang Chu was very proud of the casting of the artillery, his own novel ideas and the craftsmen's skillful hands and continuous experiments to achieve today's results, the security army spent a lot of money, and the craftsmen did not suffer less.

"Can you dedicate these cannons to the imperial court, and let the imperial court use these cannons to guard the city outside the pass to prevent the attack of the Houjin people, and the trouble of the Houjin can be alleviated." Xie Lian knew that Zhang Chu would not sacrifice the cannon in vain, but he still couldn't help but give it a try.

"I won't give artillery to others, with the virtue of the officers and soldiers, I gave them artillery and it won't be able to shoot a few cannons, and when I see the Houjin army throw the artillery, I will run away, and then these things will fall into the hands of the Houjin people, and the Ming Dynasty will perish faster." Kong Youde's team has a lot of muskets and artillery, and in the end, you are not forced to become rebels. In addition, just thinking about using artillery to defend the city is not able to win Houjin, Zu Dashou guarded Dalinghe City when the battle was very good, the soldiers were also very desperate, Huang Taiji could not capture the city at all, but in the end, Huang Taiji did not attack the city, dug a ditch to surround Daling City, and finally Zu Dashou surrendered hungry, there is no ability to win in the field, so that the Houjin army calmly came and went, but the fight can be fought, and if it can't be beaten, it will leave, the loss is only Daming, Houjin can also rob and supplement himself in Sixiang, Daming was bloodlet a little bit, and finally died. Zhang Chu was full of helplessness for a group of Wenchen generals in the Ming Dynasty, and couldn't help but complain a few words to Xie Lian.

"I also know this, but the Houjin people grew up on horseback since they were children, and they are all skilled in bows and horses, and we Han people are not their opponents no matter how they practice." The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty thought about how to deal with the Houjin people, and they tried many times, but in the end they all failed, and they basically fell into despair.

"Today I'll show you what kind of weapon can restrain the cavalry's attack in the end." Next happened to be the demonstration of the musket round test, and Zhang Chu happened to show Xie Lian the power of the security army's musket.

Xie Lian looked down the high platform and saw a squad of soldiers armed with muskets walking into the arena with neat steps.

Xie Lian had to admit that Zhang Chu's military training was really good, the entire team was forbidden, and the soldiers' every move in the slogan was so neat, the movements were powerful, and the spirit of the people was also sufficient, a bit like a strong army. It can be said that the musket can restrain the cavalry, which is a bit funny, the musket really has no effect in the battle except for listening to the sound to strengthen one's own courage, it is better to use the three-eyed gun as a stick to fight with the Houjin army after the fight, this Zhang Chuyuan has never seen the power of the Houjin people in Shanxi, so he will be so arrogant. Xie Lian was thinking about seeing what kind of tricks Zhang Chu could play with a musket, but suddenly it occurred to him that Zhang Chu had seen the Houjin cavalry, and he had defeated the Houjin cavalry in the field. It's just that no one mentions this victory, and Houjin won't publicize his shame. Thinking of this, Xie Lian immediately put away his contempt and carefully watched the security army's exercises.

After watching the performance of the security army's muskets firing in turn, Xie Lian's eyes were different when he looked at Zhang Chu.

"Do most of your troops have this ability?" Xie Lian asked Zhang Chu excitedly, it was not certain that the musketeers in front of him would be able to withstand the Houjin cavalry, but if these musketeers cooperated with other troops, they would definitely be able to inflict huge damage on the Houjin army. Xie Lian saw the hope of defeating Houjin again.

"My troops are all like this, and this exercise was randomly selected and not specially trained. Pull out a team that's all like that. ”

Xie Lian was silent when he heard Zhang Chu's words. There are still capable people in this world, but this capable person is not interested in the emperor. What made Xie Lian feel even more pressured was that these were just the beginning of the display of the strength of the security army, and then the coordination of infantry and artillery demonstrated by the security army, and the offensive and defensive tactics of the city made Xie Lian feel refreshed, and he unconsciously thought about what kind of results would happen if the opponent of the security army led the official army, and finally he was depressed to find that no matter how many people with the strength of the official army could not withstand the attack of the security army. In terms of offense and defense of the city, the two sides are not on the same level. In the end, when he saw the flames spewed out by the flamethrowers of the security army in the defense of the city, Xie Lian made up his mind, whether it was to buy money and grain or abduct them, he would also get the security army outside the pass and let them fight against the Houjin, which not only dealt a blow to the Houjin but also eliminated a potential threat to the imperial court.

After the exercise, a rare smile appeared on Xie Lian's face, and he said to Zhang Chu flatteringly: "General Zhang is really the reincarnation of the star, and the troops he has trained are really extraordinary, if General Zhang is dedicated to the country, it will definitely be promoted in the future." ”

"Lord Xie is polite, I don't care if I am promoted or not, as long as my brothers can have something to eat, it would be good." Zhang Chu was really a little uncomfortable with Xie Lian suddenly starting to praise himself, this Jinshi and Xie Lian, who was full of sage books and the honor of the governor of the official residence, really went out at a critical moment, and in order to achieve the goal, the little dignity of the scholar was gone, this kind of person Zhang Chu liked it very much, so he turned the topic back to the issue of food and salary, and found a good step for Xie Lian's remaining words.

Sure enough, Xie Lian's next words were very smooth, and I saw him stand up and come to Zhang Chu, and said respectfully: "General Zhang, don't worry about food, as long as I am the governor of Denglai for one day, I will do my best to raise money for the soldiers of the security army, and I will also give Ming Sheng Shang to continue to build ships in Dengzhou, and send you to Liaodong, Liaodong is a good place, the land is vast and fertile, as long as you plant crops, you will have a lot of harvest, and you will not starve when you live there." ”

"Then there is Lord Lao Xie, we must work hard to kill the enemy in Liaodong, right because of the concern of Lord Xie, we will not be able to achieve victory in the future without Lord Xie's leadership. In the future, adults will rise step by step, and we will be able to follow suit. After Zhang Chu finished speaking, he seemed to see a bright future, and couldn't help laughing. Xie Lian was also very satisfied in his heart, and laughed out loud with Zhang Chu.

Wang Chengen next to him looked at the two people around him who were each smiling with their own ghosts, he was not infected by them at all, this Zhang Chu's cooperation with the literati was not a good thing for the eunuchs, and Xie Lian was originally at odds with him. (To be continued.) )
