583 Hopes are disappointed

Under Hu Guang's domineering words, he began to integrate the internal contradictions that appeared in the Heavenly Army, and began to explore and practice the new system.

At this time, as far as the imperial court was concerned, within the first time of reaching an agreement with the Heavenly Army, the first batch of munitions was sent by Chen Qiyu, the governor of the three sides, to escort the elite soldiers to the Beijing Division.

As for the matter of sending people to ask the Heavenly Army to learn artillery technology, the imperial court was actually not very enthusiastic. In this regard, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has the most representative view.

He thought that the army of the imperial court had a long history of using firearms, and even the Hongyi cannon was already proficient. No matter how powerful the Bombardment Cannon is, it is also a cannon, and it should be able to handle it by himself, so that he can avoid the opportunity to bargain with the Heavenly Army, and even more so to avoid being despised by a peasant-born thief like the Heavenly Army.

It is also for this reason that when the imperial court showed that it wanted to select loyal and loyal people with innocent backgrounds and loyalty to the imperial court to learn artillery technology, many qualified children of the family found various excuses to shirk.

Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen and Zhang Fengyi had similar views, and they didn't care. Therefore, when the arms called the Heavenly Army arrived in the Beijing Division, each of the three things of the Heavenly God Cannon, the explosive bag and the flintlock pistol was immediately sent to the War Bureau to study and imitate, and the rest did not spend the night in the Beijing Division, and an army of thousands of people was selected to escort them to Funing on the same day.

This is not safe, Sun Chengzong also sent his generals Cao Wenzhao and his rookie nephew Cao Bianjiao to lead the army to respond.

The court had high hopes for this batch of munitions, and even Emperor Chongzhen sent his cronies and eunuch Cao Huachun to the camp of the Qinwang army in Funing to see with his own eyes how Jianyu was destroyed under the bombardment of these bombardment cannons.

Sun Chengzong, the commander of King Qin's army, was also an experienced military strategist, and he carefully planned his plan of action and deliberately exposed flaws. Let the captives come and attack and destroy the wall.

Even if he was as cunning as Huang Taiji, he didn't expect the Ming army to have new weapons, so he transferred troops according to his previous cognition, and sent Dolgon and Duoduo to lead the army to attack.

But what no one expected was that the trap carefully dug by the Ming army only surprised both sides.

When the cannon sound unique to the conscienceless cannon rang out one after another. Dorgon and Dorgon and Dord, who had suffered a great loss, thought that the Celestial Army suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and they were half frightened to death on the spot.

But they immediately saw that the explosive package that was fired exploded either close to it, or they didn't know where it was flying. There was even an explosive bag that fell to the ground and didn't blow up.

But even so, Dorgon and Dodor did not dare to stay on the battlefield for long, in case of an accident, they ended up like Mang Gultai. It's not a good deal. The brothers didn't need to greet each other, and immediately tacitly led the troops to retreat as soon as possible.

The high-ranking generals of the Ming army who observed the situation on the battlefield all looked at each other, and ended up in embarrassment with joy. Cao Huachun and others, who were still talking to each other just now about watching Jianyu's good show, returned to the Chinese army camp with Sun Chengzong with a gloomy face.

None of them had an estimate in advance, and the previous Hongyi cannon was to fire iron eggs and play in a straight line, and the difficulty of operation was not high.

And this unconscionable cannon is equivalent to a flowering shell, which requires considerable skill. In order to make the drop point accurately fall into the enemy crowd. Not only that, but this conscienceless cannon even requires technology than the flowering shells of later generations. Because the fuse of the explosive package needs to be calculated in advance to burn out.

In the Chinese military account, Sun Chengzong still had a lot of experience in the failed war, so he was the first to slow down. He forced a smile and said to Cao Huachun, who had a gloomy face: "Father-in-law Cao, it's better to do this, you and I will jointly play to explain this matter." Let the imperial court be sure to send someone to learn the use of this artifact. Otherwise, to tell the truth, this artifact is not as good as the Hongyi cannon! ”

Cao Huachun deeply felt the same way, at this time, he was deeply disgusted with Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department who could only talk about soldiers on paper in the DPRK and China. If he hadn't been boastful, why would he have let himself run empty?

And most importantly, it is. Your Majesty will definitely be disappointed, and I don't know if I will be angry with myself for reporting the situation.

He was thinking about it, Sun Chengzong began to complain again, and only heard him say: "Now it is about to enter the midwinter season, and the weather is very cold, so we have to let those big-headed soldiers go out and work hard, I am afraid that they must be able to eat and clothe themselves." Otherwise, I'm afraid the official won't be able to suppress them. ”

If you really want to talk about it, Sun Chengzong is also full of tears. Although the imperial court has done its best to provide logistics for the Qinwang army, the imperial court has limited capabilities, and the military salary is intermittent, and sometimes even endangers such a fatal thing as military rations.

In the face of a strong enemy, many local generals were hard-headed. If they can't even guarantee logistics, they will have all kinds of reasons to passively slack off.

It is also a loss that Sun Chengzong, the patriarch of the Four Dynasties, is old enough, his prestige is high enough, and his subordinates are not bad, so the current situation is still maintained in the war against the captives for a whole year or so.

Now that it is time to enter the winter war, Sun Chengzong has heard a lot of excuses from his generals. He knew that in order to continue this high-pressure battle with Jianyu, he had to minimize the excuses of his generals, otherwise once it broke out, his prestige would one day be exhausted and he could not be maintained.

If Fuyeong can't be maintained, then the land of Gyeonggi will definitely not be protected. And if the land of Gyeonggi falls into the hands of Jianyu, it will be difficult to protect the Gyeongshi. It is difficult to protect the capital teacher, and the Ming Dynasty is ......

Sun Chengzong didn't dare to think about it, and he could only hold on to it now. Although he knew that the imperial court had done its best, he had to ask the problem of logistics. Cao Huachun is one of Emperor Chongzhen's cronies, and when he complains, the effect is somewhat better.

However, Cao Huachun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if Sun Chengzong vaguely revealed in his words that if the Jingshi fell, he would not be able to escape death or something, he still played haha, and finally only agreed to help him deliver the chapter. As for things in the army, he doesn't understand and can't speak.

Although he scolded the old fox in his stomach, Sun Chengzong, who knew how to behave, still discussed things politely with Cao Huachun on the surface, wrote a chapter, and asked him to take it back to Beijing.

What made Cao Huachun depressed was that when he arrived in Jingshi and went to see Emperor Chongzhen, he happened to meet Emperor Chongzhen who was angry, and the piece was thrown directly at the foot of the door he had just entered.

"Is this Sun Chuanting not, it really makes me feel uneasy!" Emperor Chongzhen scolded angrily on the throne, "The local squires, imperial relatives and relatives have all jointly sued, he is a thief and has not been exterminated, but he wants to destroy these people?" ”

The Shoufu and the military department Shangshu standing below did not dare to speak, they understood that they could only speak after Emperor Chongzhen was angry. (To be continued.) )
