Chapter 388 What is the matter?

The addition of flying thunder cannons to the battlefield caused the Kazakh cavalry to fall into hell completely. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The terrifying power of the explosion of more than 20 catties of wet cotton gunpowder is not inferior to the modern 155 mm shells, as if the sky is falling apart, the explosion sounds, in the main warriors who are densely gathered after being forced to stop by the barbed wire, countless stumps and broken arms are scattered and splashed in the firelight, and what is even more terrifying is that the impact of the air wave makes countless Kazakh cavalry around the explosion point directly shocked to death, and the strange scene of death without any wound makes the remaining Kazakh cavalry collapse directly.

As if someone had given an order, when the strange tom sound sounded again, all the Kazakh cavalry on the battlefield screamed and fled in swarm.

After all, faith did not triumph over technology.

The 30,000 cavalry did not capture a chasek fortified by 5,000 infantry.

And it was also defeated.

Like frightened ducks, they scattered and fled in all kinds of frightened postures on the open grassland, while the cannonballs still whizzed in the sky, and the terrifying explosions continued to create a spectacular scene of people turning on their backs.

However, Toukhan did not feel the spectacle, and he only felt the feeling of crying now.

This is his warrior, this is his ambition!

However, he didn't notice that in the sky more than a hundred feet above his head, the small airship that had been blown away by the strong wind had come again, and the scout on the airship was holding a rifle with sights, and was intently aiming below, and the target of the muzzle was his heart.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Touk Khan gritted his teeth and roared.

Fortunately, the Ming army was infantry, and it was impossible to kill him to pursue him, as long as he could withdraw his Khan's court, he would soon be able to regroup.

As soon as he finished saying this, the Ming scout above his head also pulled the trigger, and the muzzle flame suddenly erupted, and at the same time, the recoil of the gun also made the entire airship shake violently in the sky, a lead bullet pierced the air and shot downward, Tou Kehan subconsciously turned to the side at the moment when the gunshot reached his ears, and almost at the same time the bullet drilled into his shoulder, and the force of the impact made him fall backwards fiercely, and screams immediately sounded all around, and the Ming scout above him loaded the second bullet as quickly as possible, Just as the Kazakhs below raised their flintlock pistols to aim, he pulled the trigger for the second time.

"Protect the Great Khan!"

A loyal Kazakh general screamed in surprise, then leaped from his horse and pounced on Toukhan, and at the moment he threw him off his horse, a bullet from the head hit the general in the back.

"Fire!"

Another Kazakh general shouted anxiously.

Hundreds of flintlock pistols immediately erupted flames overhead.

However, this was meaningless, the round lead shot bullet of the smoothbore gun could not hit the target at an altitude of more than 400 meters, and the bullets that quickly ran out of kinetic energy fell one after another under the airship.

In the dense sound of gunfire, the Ming scout in the sky calmly fired a third bullet, but he still failed to hit the target, his airship was too small, as soon as the shot was fired, it would shake violently, and it was blown by the wind and it was constantly swaying, in this case, it was actually not easier to hit a target more than 400 meters away than a naval gun to hit a target 4,000 meters away.

But the scout smiled as he looked at the leather bullet box on his waist.

It was full of bullets.

He floated above the head of Tou Ke Khan like a ghost of xie, leisurely and continued to shoot bullets at His Majesty the Great Khan who was protected by the guards, although most of the bullets eventually missed, but there was still another bullet on the back of Tou Ke Khan, although it did not hit the vital point, but still let Tou Ke Khan scream and lie in a pile of horse manure, but he was also a generation of heroes on the grassland, leading thousands of troops and horses across the battlefield, and now he can only be like a dog, chased by an ordinary Ming soldier and fled in a hurry.

And what is even more tragic is that he is still under the protection of hundreds of elite guards.

Fortunately, his people quickly found a way.

All the guards raised their shields to form a cover above their heads, and then protected Touke Khan, who had been hit by two bullets in his body, underneath, although the shields could not block the bullets, but they could make the Ming scouts above their heads unable to aim.

However, it is clear that they are too naïve.

"Damn, this credit has to be shared with the bastards in the artillery battalion!"

The scout cursed, pulled out two signal flags, and waved them at the artillery positions in the distance.

On the artillery position, the commander of the artillery battalion of the Ming army quickly read out his flag, and then turned his head to issue an order, which was bombarding the eighteen fifteen-pound guns that were defeating the Kazakh cavalry, and quickly raised the muzzle of the guns to the maximum at the same time.

"Clean up the battlefield, don't take a single prisoner!"

A few minutes later, Huang Xin was already able to give the order proudly.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army in Checheng rushed out, carrying rifles with bayonets to do their favorite work, and at the same time, the original Checheng dispersed, re-put on the horses pulling the carts, and then the Ming infantry who had completed the battlefield clean-up work boarded the carriages, and switched to the marching state again, sweeping and advancing on the grassland like moving lions, destroying all the tribes encountered along the way, capturing all the castles along the way, and then planting the flag belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

The day after this battle, Yang Feng received the news that the 18th Infantry Brigade had defeated 30,000 Kazakh cavalry and killed Touke Khan, but he did not receive it in Nanjing.

"Barbarian clown, mantis arm as a car, innocent of death!"

Emperor Yang said disdainfully.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to get in the car."

Xiao Guizi said.

"Let's go, get in the car!"

Emperor Yang said as he stood up with great interest and walked towards the door of the waiting hall.

At the same time, on the platform of the Luoyang Railway Station outside, countless soldiers and civilians knelt down neatly and shouted long live on the mountains on both sides, sending off their emperors and their gods. Immediately after that, the whistle of the royal special train depicting a golden dragon on the body sounded, and the wheels slowly began to turn, like a real dragon, rumbling on the steel tracks, spitting black smoke and gradually accelerating. Soon this luxurious train left the Luoyang Railway Station, followed the westward railway at a speed of fifty miles per hour, and arrived at the Guanyintang Station in just over an hour, escorted by the dragoons of the brigade, and then continued from here to reach Kip Shi Pass very quickly.

What was once a natural hazard is no longer a natural hazard.

Because a tunnel more than three miles long runs through the belly of the mountain, it turns the Kip Stone Pass, which originally needs to be crossed over the mountains and the plank road of the ancient mountain road to pass, into a straight steel road, slowed down to a twenty-mile dragon train, lit up with two large kerosene gas lamps and plunged into this tunnel, only less than ten minutes later, it came out of the other side of the mountain that originally took a day to pass, and then arrived at the Shaanzhou Railway Station in a cheer.

The train came from the city of Nanjing, nearly 2,000 miles away.

Drive directly on the royal yacht at Xiaguan Wharf, then take the sea route directly to Haizhou Port, drive the port railway at Haizhou Port, and then sail all the way along Longhai Road.

After years of lengthy sectional construction and exhaustion of 10,000 slaves, Yang Feng's eastern section of the Longhai Railway was finally officially completed, and his material transportation no longer needed to be affected by the winter canal and the Yellow River freeze, and the materials from the south could go directly ashore at Haizhou Port, and then go directly to Guanzhong along this railway.

Similarly, the railways from Xi'an to Tongguan and Fengxiang have also been completed and opened to traffic.

After the reefs of the Yellow River channel were reopened, a large amount of heavy equipment was transported to Xi'an, where the production of steel rails began, and the railway network covering Guanzhong was gradually being built with the support of this steel plant, including the Fengxiang-Chengdu railway, which was seen as crazy. However, the gap between Tongguan and Shaanzhou has not yet been built, and this road needs to dig through a number of tunnels, although they are not large tunnels, but there are many and troublesome, so it will take at least a year to complete. In addition, the railway from Fengxiang to Tianshui is also under construction, of course, the speed over there is very slow, at least three years there is no hope of being built, you must know that the road is almost entirely composed of tunnels and bridges, and now the senior talents of the construction of the Daming Railway are almost all concentrated on this railway line.

Yang Feng's dragon train finally stopped at Shaanzhou Railway Station.

Of course, he himself had to continue to move forward, and then the steam-powered car carried on the train was unloaded, and Emperor Yang boarded the steam car in the worship of all the people, escorted by the dragoon guards, and continued along the sandy road, and soon passed through the Hangu Pass that he personally smashed open, and then traveled west at a speed of fifty miles per hour until he reached Tongguan, boarded another special train at the Tongguan railway station, and continued westward along the railway to Xi'an.

"What's that?"

His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the throne of the special carriage with a majestic face, looked at a building at the foot of Mount Hua and said expressionlessly.

"That's a monk's temple, right?"

Xiao Guizi, who was waiting on the side, said uncertainly.

Saying that, he took out the telescope and looked at the window, the telescope in the field of vision there still looks very lively, it should be a temple fair or something, with the improvement of living standards over the years, the cultural life of the people of the Ming Dynasty is also very rich, in the era when there is no such thing as movies, television, computers, etc., it is undoubtedly very popular to catch a temple fair and watch a play.

Since it is a temple fair, of course it is also a monk's temple.

Although the Holy Religion, that is, the religion dedicated to Emperor Yang, has developed rapidly in recent years, after all, the bald people have a thousand-year-old foundation, and it is impossible to shovel as much as God wants.

"What's the matter?"

Yang Feng said disdainfully.

Then he didn't say anything more, but it was obvious that he wasn't in a very good mood.

Of course, that's enough.

Xiao Guizi then exited the carriage, ran to the accompanying Jinyi Wei commander Yang Zhong, whispered a few words to him, the latter quickly walked to a window of the train, and then waved outside, and soon an accompanying escort Jinyi Wei immediately stepped forward, Yang Zhong wrote an order and handed it to him, the Jinyi Wei immediately rode his horse to a small station in front of him after receiving the order, and soon this order was transmitted to Xi'an along the special line.

Only less than half an hour later, with the order of the Jinyi Wei Shaanxi Command Envoy, the great drama of the four horses was staged in Shaanxi again.

All the temples within the sight of His Majesty the Emperor along the train were all delisted, and then covered with tarpaulin, branches and other things, as for those that could not be covered, they simply replaced them with the sun and moon emblems, and the mess inside was thrown out transparently, including the bald heads, all of which were thrown out to places where the emperor could not see, and the stupid people and foolish women who held temple fairs all scattered and went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

Of course, Emperor Yang, Yang Sage, and Yang Immortal definitely don't know this.

He was just expressing his personal opinion.

In fact, the days of bald heads have become more and more difficult over the years, not to mention that only a temple is not allowed to own land, at most a bald head can only rent fifteen acres of public land, which can make the vast majority of temples in the world to the point of bankruptcy. What's more, there is also a ban on bald heads who are not allowed to do anything other than fasting and chanting sutras, especially the prohibition of participating in commercial activities, which means that whether it is to open a shop or a usury, it is all illegal, and once it is found out, all illegal income will be confiscated. There are also some things that are not related to business are also strictly prohibited, such as being hired to preside over a ceremony, selling souvenirs, paying for consecration, etc., in short, as long as you collect money, it is a violation of the law of religious management. As for violating the precepts, such as raising a foreign house, even if it is found out that drinking wine and eating meat or something, it will be publicly whipped, but don't use any wine and meat to fool around, the rules and precepts must be strictly observed, and the people have the right to supervise, and once they report it, there will be a reward.

In other words, Emperor Yang is also for their good, and also to make their beliefs more pure, and to screen out all those indiscriminate and fake goods, you must know that true believers will definitely not care about these.

It is enough for true believers to have coarse tea, light rice, green vegetables and tofu, this fifteen acres of public land is completely enough, and ordinary people can support their families with fifteen acres of public land, not to mention that they do not have as many needs as ordinary people, in addition, true believers also regard money as dung, since they regard money as dung, how can they open a shop and lend usury? In the same way, true believers are not close to women who drink meat and wine, what kind of believers are those who eat meat and drink piaoji, such a stay is pure and defile Buddhism, and such a deserve to be whipped to death by a rattan whip.

So don't think that the emperor is targeting you, the emperor is doing this for your good!

Belch?

There are no above things in these years, who is stupid to be a bald head, gnawing on cabbage leaves every day, knocking on wooden fish and chanting? It can be said that 90% of those bald heads are for mixed rice to eat, and if the rest really don't mind strictly abiding by the rules and precepts, and don't do anything except eat fasting and chanting Buddha, then Emperor Yang will not be wiped out, after all, bald heads are also deep-rooted, and if you want to uproot them, I'm afraid not a generation can solve it.

At this time, for the mood of the emperor, all the officials in Shaanxi took action, and when His Majesty the emperor arrived in Xi'an, even the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was urgently installed with the sun and moon emblem on the spire. (To be continued.) )
