Chapter Eighty-Eight: Sending Troops to Fight the Rakshasas

Upon hearing that Kangxi actually let him have full authority to deal with the military of the Rakshasas, Chen Mo nodded with a fierce smile on his face and said:

"Please go back and report to the emperor, Chen Mo immediately dispatched the firearms battalion to Tumu Fort, to ensure that the enemy will not have the slightest chance, if Chen Mo can't do it, he is willing to cut off the top flower feather and the title."

Gonggong Xu nodded and smiled, Chen Mo took out a stack of about three or five thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms and stuffed them into his arms and said:

"Gonggong Xu and your guards are working hard along the road, this little money for everyone to buy wine and drink, but I have to bother Gonggong Xu to rush back to the capital, and let the emperor prepare ten thousand stones of grain for me to send to Tumu Fort, although my giant wooden city is a military cantonment, but the food is not enough for hundreds of thousands of troops, and our food and grass will not be good for marching and fighting."

In order to control Chen Mo, who has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, Kangxi's salaries, grain and grass are all supplied according to the normal, even if Jumu City conducts its own military cantonment, it is not enough for a large number of military training troops, Chen Mo spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the past half a year to continuously reclaim tens of thousands of acres of military farmland on the nearby fertile black soil, but it is not yet the autumn harvest time, and there is indeed no grain and grass to provide for the war.

Of course, Chen Mo is not completely impossible, he has money and the Wujiemen warehouse, he can buy a lot of grain and grass everywhere, but his plan is to wait for the opportunity, and the millions of taels of silver tickets on his body may not be enough for the subsequent war, and that huge treasure, he has not thought about using it now.

When Gonggong Xu came, he saw the huge military camp that stretched for dozens of miles outside the giant wood city, and also saw the burly Han soldiers with a rainbow of momentum.

"The firearms battalion is all in charge, and all the generals in the Chuanbu military camp are here." Chen Mo watched Gonggong Xu leave, and said loudly to the guards.

The civil fort is more than 500 miles away from Jumu City, where is there except for the Qing army of 3,000 soldiers to guard, the strongest team nearby is Chen Mo's Han military camp, when the guards left, Chen Mo whispered to an ordinary face of the guards beside him:

"Inform the Shenlong Sect members that all the women will come to this giant wooden city, and the men will wait around the civil wood fort, and I remember to warn them not to reveal their identities, otherwise they will be killed."

"Yes." The guards hurriedly went out and hurried away, Chen Mo sat on a huge chair and squinted his eyes, although he had not entered Beijing in this giant wood city for half a year, but what he did made countless people look sideways.

Zhang Bao, Xu Tianchuan, Fat and Thin Toutuo and others were secretly made by him to serve as the commander of a battalion of the Han Army, and let Xu Tianchuan and others secretly execute the Tiandi Society in the largest undercover discipline in the capital, Lu Gaoxuan is a counselor of the Han Army, although he has no right to give him advice;

Originally, those banner people in the army all slipped away because they couldn't stand Chen Mo's powerful military training and there was no benefit to find a relationship, which also avoided Chen Mo from taking the initiative to find trouble, but in half a year, the 450,000 Han army had been built by him and his people like an iron bucket.

After a while, more than a dozen generals who fully supported Chen Mo arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and after saluting in the hall, Chen Mo looked around at everyone and said:

"Today, the emperor sent someone to announce the decree, let me lead the musket battalion to the Tumu Fort to fight the red-haired Rakshasa soldiers, this general decided to take the opportunity to go to the Rakshasa country, maybe you don't know yet, the missing princess Sophia mentioned by the Rakshasa soldiers is now my maid;

After I left, Zhu Neng continued to train new musketeers, and must let the army learn to operate muskets within six months to a year, and train an artillery team of more than 50,000 people, as for the firearms workshop, I have expanded tenfold, if the speed cannot keep up, then expand again, once it is time for us to use it, we must have enough artillery muskets as our strength. ”

Zhu Neng and Cheng Yu, who was in charge of the firearms workshop, said in a row:

"The last general commands."

Zhu Neng is not a righteous man who opposes the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty, but he is a general who is loyal to Chen Mo, he doesn't care what Chen Mo wants to do, and even he vaguely found that Chen Mo turned the entire Han army into a private army and did his best to help, he didn't care if he ate food as a soldier or someone else, as long as he was worthy of him and his soldiers, it was worthy of his support.

For more than 20 years since the Tatars entered the customs, Zhu Neng became the leader of the musket battalion of the Tatars from the musket soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and thousands of Han troops under his command have been bullied, insulted and even whipped by the bannermen.

Cheng Yu, as a literati, has devoted himself wholeheartedly to helping Chen Mo, and his two designers, Tang Ruowang and Nan Huairen, have completed Chen Mo's requirements to manufacture breech guns and breech guns under Chen Mo's large amount of financial support and some simple drawings, and now they have begun to study and improve the technology of paper cartridge casings and breech gun filling;

Chen Mo even doubted that the two gringos, in such a spirit, would have made copper-shelled bullets and shells, and then made more advanced semi-automatic rifles and howitzers.

If those things are manufactured, Chen Mo scratched his head, should he find some skilled workers to get the steam engine out, so that after manufacturing the ironclad ship, maybe Huaxia can enter the era of great colonization in advance.

The ideal is majestic, but Chen Mo knows that it is something that will not happen for a while, and now what he needs is to use the hole cards in his hand to go to the Rakshasa Kingdom, so that he can have more help when he returns to this world in the future.

Feeling the results of his efforts, Chen Mo said in a deep voice to everyone present:

"I've been there for half a year, so you need to make sure that there are no problems here, if someone wants to intervene in the Han army, you try not to cause additional incidents, everything will wait for me to come back, Jumu City is our base, and the surrounding farmland is also reclaimed by us, and recently the families of the Han soldiers are also migrating outside the pass, remember to continue to reclaim the farmland to ensure that they have land to plant here."

"Subordinates obey orders."

A group of generals led the order to leave, Chen Mo walked to the backyard of the city lord's mansion, and after gathering everyone together, Chen Mo looked at Shuang'er and the others and said:

"I'm going to Tumu Fort this time, Sophia and Fang Yi will join me, Shuang'er, Ake and Aqi will go to the Central Plains to fetch Wu Zhirong's head."

"What about me?" Mu Jianping asked a little gloomily.

"Yes, Sister Jianping has been in the City Lord's Mansion for so long, everyone thinks she is your wife, what else do you do after you let her leave?" Shuang'er stepped forward and gently grabbed Mu Jianping's hand and whispered.

"Sister Jianping can also go with me if she wants to, but Mu Wangfu has been looking for your traces many times outside, and I don't dare to expose you in my city lord's mansion, if you go to the Central Plains with Shuang'er and them, if you are willing to come back, Chen Mo will never fail you." Chen Mo looked at Mu Jianping intently and said.
