Chapter 12: Anger Becomes Declaration of War

It wasn't until noon the next day that Zhang Hongbin really met his son, although it was a communication device.

In just a day or two, this originally fair-skinned and plump little boy has become black and thin, if Zhu Cunyuan is here, he is afraid that he will die of heartache. And Zhang Hongbin, as Zhang Cai's father, his son was tossed like this by others, if he has no anger at all, it is no longer a question of self-cultivation, but a question of cowardice or not.

Seriously, looking at Zhang Caiming, he was still tired, but he smiled at himself and said, "It's okay, it's okay, my father doesn't need to worry." ”

The anger exploded directly, and Zhang Hongbin felt for the first time that he did not have any fault in giving the order to bombard the city of Beijing.

As for the innocent people who were buried...... He didn't think about it at the time, but even if he heard such and such a report afterwards, he would not regret it.

There are some things that I can't regret...... It's not worth regretting either.

However, public opinion propaganda must be done well, and everything you do must stand on the commanding heights of morality!

There was nothing left to do on the island of Taiwan, so Zhang Hongbin made a brief inspection and determined that Taiwan, Hainan, and even Nanyang were all developing in an orderly manner, so he set a date for his return trip, intending to wait for Liu Ruoqi's war report. Of course, there are other things to deal with at home, such as how to make Luo Rucai feel at ease.

During this time, I almost didn't care about him, but I was afraid that he would be a little panicked when he received the news, right? Fortunately, he has a communication device, so he can immediately know Zhang Cai's current situation, and he can also tell others in Chang'an City about the situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, no one knows whether under the strong anger, there will be an act of accidentally killing Luo Rucai's heirs, and then it will be directly forced to Luo Rucai to rebel.

Speaking of both ends, when Zhang Hongbin was planning to return to Chang'an, nearly 100 warships led by Liu Ruoqi had already arrived in the waters near Tianjin.

Along the way, naturally it can't hide the Ming Navy cruising in this area.

In fact, this road is basically the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible for the navy of the Republic to go north to a certain place, and the target can only be the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, after seeing them go north, the captain of the subordinate fleet immediately reported to Zheng Chenggong, and then Zheng Chenggong was sent to Beijing City by Zheng Chenggong.

The first time I got the news, whether it was Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, or of course, Li Luo, I understood as soon as I could have an accident.

The worst thing is that Zhang Hongbin still knows about it, otherwise why would there be such a strong reaction?

On the one hand, Li Zilai is trying to find a way to come up with a 'Zhang Cai' to deal with Zhang Hongbin, and on the other hand, he is also ready to pack up and leave. But after all, the time given by Zhang Hongbin was three days, so he was not too anxious. Even in his heart, he thinks that as long as he acts well, he may be able to get by.

Who knew that when the news arrived, he realized that the other party had actually known for a long time, and the previous deadline might just be a delaying measure. It's just that he knew, and it was a little too late.

At about 2:35 p.m. yesterday, when the urgent letter was still heading towards Beijing, Liu Ruoqi had already led the fleet to the outskirts of Tianjin Port. There was no notice or warning at all, and the shelling order was directly issued.

It was a direct shelling of nearly 200 artillery pieces, and it was still using flowering shells. Three seconds after the shelling, the entire port of Tianjin seemed to be covered with a carpet of death, and the carpet was full of flowers of death. As one of the most prosperous ports in the Ming Dynasty, this was originally the area where the largest number of people gathered, and at this moment, at least more than 3,000 people died in this shelling.

Without any warning, without any warning, the smart ones will hide or flee as soon as possible, and those who are stupid will be eliminated as soon as possible.

Thankfully, there are no republican caravans operating in this area, at least without fear of accidentally injuring their own people.

The second round, the third round of shelling...... By the tenth round of shelling, the entire port of Tianjin had been razed to the ground. God knows how many people survived under such artillery fire, but it is certain that 30,000 people, if not 50,000, died under the shelling of artillery fire. Moreover, a large number of infrastructure and military facilities have been destroyed, more than 50 sea ships and warships have been destroyed, and the entire Tianjin port is actually no different from being scrapped.

Under such circumstances, the ships of the Republic began to land, and for the first time, more than five thousand soldiers were laid down.

There were more than 4,000 of these soldiers, almost all of whom were armed with submachine guns and light machine guns, and a few carried five grenades, of which only more than 500 carried rifles with scopes, but according to the current performance of rifles, they should be called sniper rifles. Of the last thousand, 500 were armed with rocket launchers and mortars, and the remaining 500 were carried out as baggage troops, following with a large number of shells and bullets.

From Tianjin to the surrounding area of Beijing, it is actually only 132 kilometers, which is why many ministers have built Yì Chongzhen to move the capital.

The distance is too close, as long as others land in Tianjin, they will soon be able to kill directly in Beijing City. In the past, they used to fight wars on land, but now that the sea is so developed, and the Republic has the most powerful navy in the world, if they land in Tianjin, then it will not directly put their Ming ruling class above the pot?

In the past, Chongzhen refused because it involved dignity and tradition. Now that the courtiers' ideas have become a reality, many people don't know how to face them.

Mobilize troops? The order was conveyed to the past, and then waited for them to come back, and there were no three or five days for fear that they would not arrive, and this was still the nearest force, only about 3,000 people, and they were all equipped with very backward firearms. The most powerful firearm is also a 24-shot repeating firearm developed by Sun Yuanhua, similar to a submachine gun, but in fact, it is still a backward firearm that is equipped with gunpowder to shoot the projectile out. The Ming Empire did not get the technology of primer fire for a day, and it was destined that they would not be able to develop modern firearms in the true sense of the word.

But in a feudal dynasty that once scorned industry and chemistry and disdained workers, even if the modernization reform had begun, where could the accumulation of science and technology be so fast? In addition, chemistry is also a first-class SSS-level secret technology in the Republic, unless it is a researcher, it is difficult for ordinary people to learn deep chemical technology, and the books are almost not sold publicly, so even if Li Luo gets the books, he will not be able to understand the knowledge of chemistry because of the lack of teachers. Not to mention, he can only get a superficial knowledge.

**Zi Taizong is right: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten!" ”

Since Wanli began to enter the hedonistic Ming Dynasty, an era that began to decay and began to decline, and the power of vassals began to endanger military power, it could not defeat the barbarians, nor could it defeat the high-tech civilization. But then again, if it weren't for Zhang Hongbin's opening, to this point, I'm afraid it would be difficult to accumulate it without more than 30 years. But so what? Since luck is part of people's power, and opening is naturally part of strength, you can only blame Chongzhen for why he is not a traverser, and you can only blame Chongzhen or why there is no traverser in the Ming forces? To put it bluntly, this is actually part of luck and part of strength, no, naturally sad!

Chongzhen already understood that Beijing City was going to be bad, even if he only knew the news that the other party had begun to go north, and at most he deduced that the other party had appeared in the area around Tianjin Port. I greeted Li Zicheng's female family again and again in my heart, but it didn't help.

Kidnapping other people's sons without telling himself, and possibly killing other people's sons, even if he himself can't help but be angry. Besides, although Zhang Hongbin is young, he only has three sons under his knees, each of which is precious. Besides, Zhang Cai's talent is beyond doubt, and he can build Yuewang Island step by step from existence to nothing, who would believe that there is no talent? And, you know, this little kid is only in his early tens!

Sometimes even Chongzhen is complaining, why is his son not so wicked? Later, I learned that Zhang Hongbin has a medicine that can improve the body's quality, and it is likely to affect the first generation of offspring. Chongzhen really wanted to buy it, but unfortunately, it was not for sale.

Zhang Hongbin also imagined that the forces next to him would want to buy it, and he also planned to take out the inferior products to harm others, but this thing is directly linked to reputation, and the other party may not be the first to drink it, so at most it can be rectified to one person, so it is better not to sell it.

A day later, Chongzhen issued a military order with an attitude of fighting, and asked the surrounding soldiers to quickly mobilize to help deal with the enemy. At the same time, an order was issued to disperse the 30,000 soldiers who were training in Beijing City around Beijing City, after all, under the mode of modern warfare, there is actually no point in defending the city.

In any case, if you take up the surrounding high ground and carry out artillery bombardment from above, you should be able to kill a few enemies anyway, right? The progress of science and technology does not mean the progress of the human body, no matter how powerful the opponent's weapon is, the soldier's body can never be invulnerable, right?

With such a mood, Chongzhen felt that he could give it a go, but not long after he gave the order, he got the latest battle report...... Tianjin was in ruins.

Tens of thousands of people were killed directly in this way, and Chongzhen felt that his neck was cold......

In the past, Zhang Hongbin had always maintained the system of national non-civil war, so he was still very generous to the local troops, and tried not to kill the people. Now that he can be allowed to violate his own principles and carry out indiscriminate attacks, it is conceivable that he is really mad.

Chongzhen had no choice but to find Li Luo, and asked as soon as possible: "Do we have a chance of winning?" ”

"Your Majesty, let's move the capital......" Li Luo only gave one answer.

"I want Li Zicheng to die!" Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said.

"Li Zicheng seems to have secretly left the city of Beijing and has disappeared." Li Luo shook his head.

"Damn it!" Chongzhen slammed his hands on the royal case, even if his hands were painful, he didn't care about it.

"Your Majesty, make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise you will be in chaos!" Li Luo gritted his teeth and knelt down.

"Let's go! Let's go! "Chongzhen at this moment, what else can he do except shake his head and compromise?

The gate of Beijing was opened, and Chongzhen, with his family and relatives, left the city where he was born, he grew up, he made a career, and he was proud.

He was reluctant to give up, but he really couldn't die here at the moment.

The city of Beijing is getting farther and farther away from him, and he feels that he may not be able to come back for the rest of his life.

At this time, he faintly heard a roar near the city of Beijing, which should be the sound of artillery fire from the two sides starting to fight. If you can, I hope you just misheard......

At the same time, the troops led by Liu Ruoqi came to the vicinity of Beijing City, and immediately seized the surrounding highland positions to clean up the opponent's troops. And through the communication of Guò communication instrument, he got Zhang Hongbin's latest order: occupy the city of Beijing and reduce the killing.

And the troops on the Shanxi border also received orders: go east and take down the Hebei and Beizhili regions.

What was originally an act to vent anger turned into a formal declaration of war by the Republic against the Ming Empire. However, Zhang Hongbin has no regrets, and Congress has no regrets.

As for Li Zicheng and Chongzhen's regrets, this is not something they can recover.
