Chapter 388: What Are You Afraid of?

Huang Taiji pinched the letter sent by the messenger and was speechless for a long time.

So much so that the letter fell to the ground, and he didn't notice it, two thousand people, a few breaths of effort was gone, this kind of thing, he heard of it for the first time, deep in his heart, there was an inexplicable sense of fear, not the fear of Mao Wenlong, nor the fear of the Ming army, nor the fear of grenades, this kind of fear, Huang Taiji couldn't say what it was, but he clearly felt it.

"Great Khan, Great Khan?" Fan Wencheng has been following Huang Taiji's side, and when he saw the letter sent by Kuaima, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and after seeing that his Great Khan read the letter, he looked even more depressed, and knew that something was wrong.

"Oh......, Xiandou, Ben Khan has lost his temper...... Huang Taiji retracted the sorrow on his face and said, watching the letter in his hand fall to the ground, he didn't pick it up, but said weakly: "Xiandou look at this letter, Ben Khan has no clue now" Huang Taiji finished reading the letter, his mind was blank, and the inexplicable fear in his heart kept lingering in his heart, Huang Taiji tried his best, and he couldn't remember what he was about and why he was so afraid.

Mao Wenlong lured the East Road Amin army to Zhenjiang Fort by deception, and then it only took a few breaths of effort to kill 2,000 of them, which made Huang Taiji unable to believe, nor dare, nor did he want to believe, and then read the letter, what thunder and flint explosion mentioned in it, Huang Taiji understood, Mao Wenlong used a grenade, the Ming Dynasty had a grenade, he already knew, and even got grenades from the Ming Dynasty, but what he never expected was that this kind of grenade was actually thrown thousands at a time, This is completely beyond his understanding of war, if he can imagine shooting thousands of arrows at a time, but the kind of iron lump of a few catties, an iron lump that costs a lot of money, the Ming Dynasty also dared to throw thousands of them at a time, is this a war? It's just a silver smash, hasn't Mao Wenlong always been a poor sour? Why is it that fighting a war is so extravagant now? Huang Taiji was puzzled, where did the fear in his heart come from?

Fan Wencheng picked up the letter and read it carefully, this letter introduced in detail the whole process of dealing with Mao Wenlong, Amin's Eastern Route Army, from being deceived to being killed by a grenade in a few breaths of kung fu, Fan Wencheng saw that he was jumping with green muscles, this world is too crazy, he has seen that grenade, don't you want money? Throw thousands at a time......

After thinking about it for a long time, the green tendons on Fan Wencheng's neck calmed down slightly, swallowed and foamed with difficulty, and said: "Great Khan, I didn't expect that thing to be used like this, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty deceived us or underestimated the emperor of the Ming Dynasty Nanming dared to take the lead this time, dared to launch an attack on thousands of miles of land, or hid some means" Fan Wencheng had to sigh, they had seen grenades, and they had also tried the power with their own hands, although they paid attention to this thing, but they still didn't expect it, The people of the Ming Dynasty would throw thousands of grenades together to achieve the effect of "thunder plow", and in the face of this effect, no one was not afraid.

“…… Alas, Xiandou, what should Ben Khan do now? Ben Khan is out of proportion" Huang Taiji's mind was in a mess, according to the fighting method mentioned in the letter, their gold was only 200,000 people, which was not enough for the Ming Dynasty to throw many grenades.

Fan Wencheng, as Huang Taiji's main strategist, also has some ability to be reused, although this incident was very shocking, but soon, he calmed down.

"Great Khan, now it depends on what the Great Khan should do? Do you want to continue to fight Mao Wenlong around Zhenjiang Fort, or withdraw your troops......" Fan Wencheng thought for a while and said.

"Withdraw? Now that the Quartet is extremely unfavorable to our Dajin, how can Ben Khan dare to withdraw? My Dajin people are weak and weak, relying on the support of the sewing battle to win, just like a drowning person, holding on to a breath of air, once the breath is dispersed, it will be drowned immediately, my Dajin is relying on the support of this breath, in order to have a foothold outside this Liaodong Pass, once the battle is lost, let Mao Wenlong return with victory, that is equivalent to my Dajin's breath to disperse most of the time, this time can not defeat the enemy, let Mao Wenlong go, then what about next time? And then let it go? Then does my Dajin still have a foothold? Although Huang Taiji's heart is a mess, there is still some common sense.

"The Great Khan is right, think about it, Erbeile also thinks so, although he lost 2,000 people, but he still surrounded Zhenjiang Fort and handed the letter to the Great Khan, presumably thinking the same as the Great Khan, no matter how difficult it is, it is necessary to erase Mao Wenlong, and to make the Ming Dynasty invincible." Fan Wencheng said. ,

"It's good that Xiandou understands, this is the consensus of my Dajin, Ben Khan understands, and Erbeile also understands......" Huang Taiji said.

“… Wen Cheng understood, then all that was left was how to solve Mao Wenlong......" Fan Wencheng said.

"Xiandou is right, what we have to think about now is how to solve Mao Wenlong, and we must not let the Ming Dynasty win, otherwise, once the Ming Dynasty wins, the morale will be high, and there will be no fear ......of my Dajin, and at that time, it will be a greater loss," Huang Taiji said unwillingly.

"Great Khan, Wen Cheng saw what was written in the letter, the grenade can only be thrown forty or fifty steps away, and no matter how far it goes, the grenade will be powerless...... so Wen Cheng thinks that he can build an arrow tower much higher than the Ming Dynasty city wall a hundred steps away, so that the Ming Dynasty can be suppressed from throwing grenades...... Fan Wencheng began to think of a way.

"Well, this is really good, however, Ben Khan also saw that the letter said that the Ming Dynasty people did not show their heads at all, all of them hid behind the battlements of the city wall, and only when I Dajin attacked the city and gathered people under the city, I would throw grenades, even if it was a hundred steps away to build an arrow tower, I am afraid it would not be of much use, Ben Khan was curious, how did the Ming Dynasty know about the situation of my Dajin siege, and threw grenades in time......"

Fan Wencheng thought for a while, didn't know the essentials, and said: "Hui Da Khan, this Wen Cheng is not clear, but, come to think of it, it should be a new thing in the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that it was made by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this has to send someone to the Ming Dynasty Jingshi to inquire in detail to find out......"

When it came to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, both of them were silent for a while, the grenade was made by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the clairvoyant mirror was also, the glass was also, and the large Kong Ming lantern that carried people was also, this emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is there really a god to protect him? If he is blessed by God, what about us? Isn't it just a matter of damning?

"That's right, Ben Khan also thinks so, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty made a lot of new things in order to deal with my Dajin, this is really careful, now he has suffered a big loss of grenades, and he can't suffer any more...... Huang Taiji broke the silence and said.

The two of them were stunned for a while, and Fan Wencheng said: "Great Khan, Wen Cheng thinks that this grenade method of warfare in the Ming Dynasty is to bully me Dajin has no cannons, if the Great Khan can bombard the city wall with cannons, then this kind of combat method will be self-defeating...... Fan Wencheng thought for a while and said.

"Xiandou is right, my Dajin is good at riding and shooting, not good at attacking the city, in the past, it was difficult for my Dajin to attack the city, and now Mao Wenlong has come up with this kind of grenade warfare, I Dajin wants to attack the city, it is even more difficult, Ben Khan also knows how to attack the city with artillery, but the cannon is not my Dajin director, where Ben Khan went to find the artillery to attack the city?" Huang Taiji is very disappointed, Mao Wenlong is doing this now, the possibility of them Houjin attacking the city is even lower, as long as there are enough grenades in the city, they Houjin will not be able to capture the city at all, even if they can capture it, the casualties will not be injured.

"The Great Khan forgot? In my early years, Dajin captured a lot of Ming Dynasty cannons......," Fan Wencheng reminded.

"But, Xiantai, those cannons? I haven't used it for years, and I still use it? Besides, the gunner? Where is the gunpowder maker? Huang Taiji said with an unbearable face, and the lingering fear in his heart has been perplexing Huang Taiji.

"Great Khan. It doesn't matter, as long as the Great Khan makes a promise and promises a heavy reward, there will definitely be people who know how to do it in those Han soldiers and Han people, Wen Cheng thought, it should be possible to recruit a lot of Han army gunners and craftsmen, with them, those cannons can return to the battlefield, and they can go to fight Mao Wenlong......" Fan Wencheng threw out his idea.

"Okay, this one is really worth a try, but those cannons are mostly in Shengjing now......" Huang Taiji felt quite powerless, playing with cannons was not their forte, but this time, there was no better way than to use cannons.

"Great Khan, Wen Cheng wants to rush back to Shengjing overnight now, sort out those cannons in advance, recruit some gunners and craftsmen who operate the cannons, and escort the cannons to Zhenjiang Fort in advance, and wait for the Great Khan to clean up Lin Dan Khan, and then it is not too late to chase Wen Cheng, so that the time and ...... for transporting cannons can be reduced" Fan Wencheng proposed.

"Well, okay, then there will be Lao Xiandou, when Ben Khan cleans up Lin Dan Khan, he will go after Xiandou, so that it will not delay the effort...... Huang Taiji said.

"Obey ......," Fan Wencheng agreed.

……

Mao Wenlong's thunder in Zhenjiang Fort broke a lot of peace.

The 20,000 elites of the Houjin Eastern Front shrank in Zhenjiang Fort, guarding Mao Wenlong, cheapening the more than 10,000 elites scattered by Mao Wenlong. ,

Mao Wenlong's thunder in Zhenjiang Fort also made Yang Reform's big internal grenade become a "famous brand" in an instant, and his business skyrocketed.

"You mean, now many prefectures and counties, health offices, and forts in Gyeonggi and Xuanda are looking for you to buy grenades? You can't make it now? Yang Reform summoned Fu Mingde on the edge of the Taiye Pool and asked unexpectedly.

Fu Mingde, the director of the Royal Arsenal, came early in the morning to report the good news to the emperor. Mao Wenlong's loud noise got nearly a thousand Tartar heads, so the grenade immediately became famous, and became a popular thing in many weak states and counties, and there was no need for many elite soldiers, ignited and threw it out, this is a woman and child can also do it, in the future, with the defense of the city, even if it is really against the real Tartars, it can also be done with the power of a battle, even if it is not used to deal with the Tartars, it is used to deal with the rebels, to defend against the Mongols, it is also a good thing, although I also knew this thing before, but after all, it has not been tested in actual combat, Now there was a loud bang in Mao Wenlong, but in a few breaths, he got countless heads, and after a burst of "touting" by the courtiers, so, well-informed people immediately flocked to the grenade, and they wanted to buy grenades to defend, and the grenades made in Ouchi immediately became a "famous brand".

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, Mao Dashuai killed a lot of Tartars in Zhenjiang Fort, and now, many prefectures and counties, guards, and forts have come to Beijing, and they want to buy grenades to go back, the business is so good, at least 5,000 cases, generally more than 10,000, the slaves and maids are really too busy, and they have come to ask Your Majesty for help......" Fu Mingde's eyes smiled into a slit, the better his business in the military battle, the higher his status in the eyes of the emperor, in this inner court, the emperor looked down on a few times, that is, there is face, that is superior, If you speak loudly, it will be useful.

Yang Reform was very surprised, and he was very surprised, he didn't expect that Mao Wenlong actually beat the reputation of grenades out of ......, so that his military industry can make a lot of money?

Fu Mingde saw that the emperor did not speak, so he continued to sell his berevels there happily.

“…… Your Majesty, it's not a slave to blow, now the news is to Gyeonggi, Xuanda, if in a few days, I am afraid that the guards and prefectures and counties in Shaanxi will come here to buy grenades made in Ouchi, then Shaanxi has always been not very peaceful, and they have to guard against the Mongols and the rebels, they must need a lot of grenades...... Farther away, southern Xinjiang, southwest...... Your Majesty, this grenade, the slave and the maid are estimated to touch, and they are afraid that millions of them, and the slave and maid really can't catch up......" Fu Mingde cried and explained to the emperor with a smile the bright future of his arsenal.

Millions? Yang Gai suddenly seemed to understand something, thinking, this is a good phenomenon, which shows that some tentacles of the Ming Dynasty have extended into the industrial age, and only in the industrial age will there be such millions of products being manufactured. Yang Reform's heart instantly brightened, and he couldn't stop nodding and said: "Very good, very good...... It seems that his own spending money to promote industry has a certain effect, and there is the first successful, millions of industrial products, or quasi-industrial products. With the first, then there will be a second, more and more industrial, quasi-industrial products, will gradually open the door to the industrial age, to the industrial age, the northern nomads are their own dishes, they may have to go on a northern expedition, or inadvertently will become a "great" emperor who expands the territory.

"In this way, then you will expand the scale, how much others want, you will produce as much as you want, of course, the quality must be guaranteed, don't smash the brand made in Ouchi, in addition, you have to strictly control the whereabouts of grenades, anyone who comes to buy grenades, be sure to check the official certificate and license issued by the local government, don't be a cat or a dog to buy grenades, understand?" Yang Reform didn't think much about it, so he decided to expand the scale, this military industry, but it took a big step forward, and it was said that as soon as the cannon sounded, the gold was ten thousand taels, and he could make money from this war, right? Yang Reform is not afraid of his enemies to get it, this thing is a consumable, when he fights, he wants to fight with the little materials he has accumulated, it is simply a dream, how did he fight in the industrial age? The consumption of that material can be hundreds of millions, Yang Reform is not afraid that his opponent will take the grenade away from the shadows anyway, and Yang Reform still wishes that his opponent would follow him to upgrade his weapons and equipment.

"Slave and maid obey the order...... Fu Mingde happily agreed.

"Hahaha...... Good work, Fu Mingde, you have done a great job this time, and I haven't thought of anything to reward you for the time being,...... This jade pendant is what I often wear on my body, so I will reward you with this piece of jade......" As soon as Yang Reform was happy, he gave a piece of jade pendant on his body to Fu Mingde. ,

Not only the people around him were red-eyed, but even Wang Chengen was a little red-eyed, this jade, but although the emperor wore the object, he was rewarded to Fu Mingde like this?

Fu Mingde was stunned for a long time, and then cried and mourned: "...... Woowoo...... Your Majesty, this jade is too heavy, the slave can't stand it, ......it's the duty of the slaves and maids to do their best to give His Majesty, and the slaves don't dare to ask for His Majesty's reward...... "Fu Mingde was also taken aback by the emperor's move, and the emperor actually gave him a jade pendant that he carried, which symbolizes the emperor's identity, how precious this jade pendant is, naturally needless to say, although Fu Mingde is a little bit of a merit to the emperor and a reward, he has never dared to ask for this thing.

"Hahaha...... It's okay, I said that if you can afford it, you can afford it, this time the expansion of the factory, your intentions are, don't live up to my piece of jade ......, how much credit you have, I know best, don't shirk, take it is ......" Yang Reform was in a very comfortable mood, unintentionally, he actually gave birth to a successful, barely industrial product, this is a signal, a signal of the advent of the industrial age, how much productivity in the industrial age, how much energy, this Yang reform is the clearest, so, Now this inconspicuous-looking eunuch is doing a rather "great" thing, and now it seems that it is a bit too much to give a jade pendant symbolizing the identity of the emperor, but in fact, it is nothing more than what he represents.

Fu Mingde was stunned for a while, he came to see the emperor this time, but he showed up in front of the emperor, bragged about his work, and was very satisfied to be able to get the emperor to say a good word, but he didn't expect that the emperor actually gave a jade pendant, this thing exceeded his expectations too much, he was a eunuch, wearing the jade brought by the emperor, isn't this looking for death? How did Nine Thousand die? He didn't want to be the second 9,000-year-old.

Wang Chengen wanted to persuade the emperor, but he saw that the emperor said seriously, so he didn't persuade him, the emperor is not a child anymore, and there must be a reason for doing this.

"Thank you to Your Majesty, the slave and maid have been rewarded by Your Majesty, and they must enshrine this piece of jade in the high hall and worship it day and night......" Fu Mingde saw that the emperor was bent on giving that piece of jade, and it was not appropriate to refuse, and it was not appropriate to take it, so he had an idea and came up with a way, and next, and then enshrined it, so that it was the best of both worlds......

Yang Gai smiled and didn't speak, it's your own business whether to give it or not, you want to worship, I don't care, I just have this attitude, as for what you do, it doesn't matter.
