Chapter 172: Important Information

They want to sell weapons to the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor still asks them to come here to test the power of weapons?

It's a bit confusing to hear.

It's all big swords and spears, is there anything surprising about these weapons?

We can also make it, why do you want to buy it with the other party?

Oh, yes.

Just now they seem to be using a bird gun, and this kind of fire gun is not the same as Daming's, it looks a little short, not to mention it, but it looks very comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

Da Ming's firebolt was too heavy to use, so it needed two to three soldiers to carry it together, but the firearm used by the other party just now seemed to only need one soldier.

Such a delicate fire gun seems to be stronger than Da Ming's.

If it's one of these firecrackers, it doesn't hurt to buy some.

After all, this thing is still a very good thing to use to defend the city.

The soldiers stationed here in the capital division ate at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so they have a lot more knowledge.

Just now, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard of the Gene Man overturned the firecrackers used by the soldiers of the Shun Army, but they were all in their eyes. Therefore, after listening to the words of the little egg, they will also think about comparing it in their hearts.

They were weaker in hand-to-hand combat with the Jurchens, but they were still very confident in using fire to defend the city against the Jurchens.

In fact, the army stationed here in the original Beijing Division was also equipped with firearm troops. But because of corruption, those firecrackers are basically unusable.

Therefore, this kind of firecracker, which should have been nominally there, did not appear in this battle, and if there were no accidents, there would be in the future.

The money used to make the fire gun was deducted and embezzled by the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and other officials.

Under such circumstances, how could there be firecrackers in the army?

If it's on the side of the border army. After all, the border army has to deal with all kinds of emergencies to ensure the security and stability of the border.

Therefore, those officials dare not corrupt too much.

But here in Jingshi, the situation is different.

Those officials had no idea that there would be an enemy coming to the city.

Therefore, they have no scruples when they are greedy.

But now that I look at it, it really hurts others and myself.

If the defenders of the capital division had enough firearms, then the Jurchens outside the city would not be so arrogant.

You must know that in the process of the rise of the Jurchens, they fought against the Ming army.

For the Jurchens who are good at riding and shooting. Because the Daimyo's army did not have enough horses, they used firecrackers as a weapon to deal with them, and they also achieved good results.

The Jurchens were also greatly injured in front of the firecracker.

Basically, in cold weapon battles, the Jurchens are very strong.

But when you encounter the firecrackers. The Jurchen charge was no different from sending them to death.

However, fortunately, the cost of Daming's firecracker is high, and it is extremely inconvenient to use. So there are not a lot of equipment in the army.

This gave the Jurchens a chance.

If it was the Song Empire's army that changed to Zhao Hongyu and fought against the Jurchens. Then the Jurchens have no chance at all.

The process of loading gunpowder and lead pellets to the final firing of the Ming Dynasty is very cumbersome and long, about three minutes.

This is a bit slow.

The muskets of the Song Empire, on the other hand, could be fired five times a minute.

With such a number of shots, no matter how brave your Jurchens are. There's no way around it.

Especially when Zhao Hongyu also used a linear queue to fight, and was also equipped with small-caliber artillery, the army of the Great Song Dynasty was even more powerful.

At least until now, the Song Empire was on the American continent as well as on the European continent. No opponent has been met yet.

In the first battle of the Japanese kingdom here in the east, the battle between 10,000 men and 150,000 people was also decided by the attitude of the victor.

Therefore, it is normal for Zhao Hongyu and them to have such strong confidence in their weapons.

And this kind of strong self-confidence also made them naturally reveal a temperament that was not used with the Ming soldiers when they were about to face the Jurchens.

Little Danzi's father-in-law asked those Ming soldiers to evacuate this place, and promised that they would not be found even if something went wrong, which made those soldiers a little stunned.

Letting outsiders defend the city is a bit of that.

Could it be that the masters of the Ming Dynasty are so unbearable?

"Don't look at me, this is what the emperor meant. Since they want to sell weapons to us, they have to come up with some means to show us what to do, so you can go and support other places. Now that the Jurchens' offensive is so fierce, it's also dangerous to come to other places, right? “

As soon as Xiao Danzi's words fell, the military general who had stopped Zhao Hongyu on the steps before came over at this time, and answered: "You just listen to the words of this little father-in-law, let those Song people defend here, and you go to support other places." “

This military attache already knew the cause and effect, and had been assured by Eunuch Xue, so he was very relieved.

Eunuch Xue is a close confidant of the emperor, can his words be false?

Moreover, the Song people volunteered to fight against the Jurchens, which can also reduce some of their pressure, which is a good thing.

Originally, they didn't have enough cases here, but after having Zhao Hongyu and them, although they couldn't make up for it, it would be a lot easier.

These fools are all voluntary, and if they push it out, they won't be idiots.

After listening to the words of their own general, the soldiers left one after another.

Xiao Danzi nodded at the general, and then walked to Zhao Hongyu's side.

Looking at the thin figure of the little egg, the military general shook his head and said to himself: "There have been all kinds of strange things these days, and there are still people who are willing to fight." Are they not afraid of death? The Jurchens are not so easy to deal with, but this matter has nothing to do with me, since they want to, I will not stop it, anyway, if something really goes wrong, I can't find Lao Tzu's head. “

The general shook his head and retreated, he didn't want to stay here in the city for a little longer.

Know the way. Now the Jurchen offensive has not stopped.

"Rodrinny, take your men to guard the battlements, your armor is still very defensive. My men have no armor, so you must resist and not let the enemy attack! “

Here, Zhao Hongyu gave a series of orders.

"Yes, Your Highness, Rodrini is at your command."

After receiving Zhao Hongyu's order, Rodelni raised his right hand, tapped it on the breastplate, and bowed his head in response.

Then Zhao Hongyu turned his head sideways and commanded the officers of the Imperial Guard: "You." Now start attacking the enemy with grenades, and be sure to repel the enemy in front of us. I don't believe it, aren't they flesh and blood! ”

Zhao Hongyu doesn't believe rumors that the Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000 and is invincible.

These rumors are actually used to scare people.

Cold weapons against hot weapons, Zhao Hongyu does not think that the descendants of the Jurchens. You can beat yourself.

Of course, his own troops are a bit small. Otherwise, Zhao Hongyu wouldn't mind going out of the city to fight with them.

But it doesn't matter. It's also nice to have some appetizers now.

"Your Highness, the captive has confessed, he is not a Jurchen. It is a Han who has been caught by the Jurchens for some years. ”

Previously, Zhao Hongyu wanted to mend the knives for those corpses, and one of the guys who survived shouted surrender, which made Zhao Hongyu feel very strange.

Because in his opinion, the Jurchens should be fearless of death. How is it possible to surrender.

And that guy also looks a little different from the Jurchens.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu asked this guy to be interrogated.

Sure enough, this guy is a Han Chinese.

Grandma's. Is the Manchurian Han Eight Banners now an army?

Thinking of the history that happened in another time and space, Zhao Hongyu's mood suddenly became very bad.

"What useful information did you get from him?"

Zhao Hongyu asked.

"Your Highness, according to that guy's confession, the Manchurian side has organized these captured Han people into a force called the Guishun Army, and the number is not small."

"I saw that they were very brave when they fought just now, and I really didn't expect them to be Han Chinese. Don't they know that their enemies have the same blood of China as they do? Zhao Hongyu felt hateful in his heart for such a person.

The officer who came to report responded: "The reasons for this are very complicated, and my subordinates can't explain it clearly for a while. One thing is certain, however, that these people have psychologically distorted identification with the Manchus, and they themselves have identified themselves as Manchus. It's a pity that they still lack the ruthlessness of the Manchurian in their bones. ”

Zhao Hongyu nodded when he heard this: "Hmph! The damn guy, he was actually assimilated on the side of the Manchurians, I really don't know what they think, don't they know how to escape? ”

"Your Highness, their families are all on Houjin's side, if they become deserters, their families will be severely punished, so there is no way to escape, and if they fight hard, they can also get a small share of the spoils to improve their families' lives......"

The officer in charge of the interrogation told Zhao Hongyu all the information that was deducted from the mouth of the prisoner.

No wonder, it turns out that there is a family member as a hostage.

"Your Highness, your subordinates have also obtained a very important information, that is, in the Manchurian camp outside the city, Huang Taiji and the current Eight Banners Banner Lord are here, and it seems that the high-level leaders of the Houjin Kingdom are basically here."

Oh!

There is such a thing!

After hearing the news, Zhao Hongyu's eyes suddenly flickered.

Just like this officer said, the high-level officials of the Houjin Kingdom are basically here.

The Eight Banners Banner Masters, including Huang Taiji, are all great figures in Houjin.

If you can serve them in one pot...... Zhao Hongyu fell into a reverie, but soon he denied his reverie.

Forget it, this thing is not reliable, after all, there are not many soldiers in their own country, and they can't do this.

You know, the enemy has an army of more than 50,000 men.

Besides, even if they sent someone to do this, how could they get close to Huang Taiji and them.

Hey!

So, I can only think about it.

"Your Highness, the enemy is attacking again!"

"All on the defensive!" (To be continued......)
