Chapter 429: You and I Were Teenagers

The land of China has always been very large, and the Ming Dynasty, which inherited the orthodoxy of China, is not bad.

However, its borders are really long, especially in the north, and the Great Wall is majestic and magnificent, but it still cannot completely stop the iron horses of nomads and the vigorous pace of fishermen and hunters.

Therefore, once Jiannu really detoured, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to defend it in all directions, but could only focus on defense, and the slightest mistake would open a gap and break into the Great Wall.

Intelligence will play a vital role in this battle.

Daming has Jinyi Guard, and there are two factories in the east and west, but their role outside the customs has been minimal.

Fortunately, he took precautions and selected spy guards among the grassroots to do the act of silent protection.

But if there is a slight loophole, and the Jiannu who is good at using the loopholes to make a surprise attack, then the breakthrough will only be in a moment, and at that time, where the Jiannu cavalry has passed, the Chinese life will definitely be ruined.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this battle is a battle of nirvana that gambled on the fortunes of the country.

Even Chongzhen was a little apprehensive in the face of this battle that he had tried to convince the Apocalypse.

But he is still firm and still firmly believes that things are man-made, and man will win the day.

Because if you want to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the northern border, you can only be strong!

Only the incomparably powerful, the strength that has been imitated but never surpassed, can make the nomads, fishermen and hunters, become hospitable, and the Chinese people pass through, singing and dancing, singing and praising the prosperous times.

Otherwise, you will always be at the mercy of others.

Chongzhen still remembers how in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen asked the Ming Dynasty to open the horse market with a shy face.

When the Jurchens were affected by the disaster, how did the Ming rescue them with great efforts.

The name "Li Shancheng" is very Chinese, but at that time it did not belong to the Han family, but to the Jurchens, and once became the collective name of the entire Jurchen people.

Faced with the mountain of relief materials, the Jurchens at that time said that they were "Li Shancheng." ”

Li is the national surname of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China. Lee's Joseon was protected by China, and the country's fortunes were long.

Good, kind. Sincerity, sincerity.

This is the face of the fisherman who was once "kind and sincere" in front of Daming, but now, this face is gone, replaced by a ferocious one, why? Because of Salhu!

Because of defeat!

Because of the Ming Dynasty, he is still rich, but not so powerful anymore!

"We must make Da Ming strong again." Chongzhen put the brush on the inkstone, and said it very lightly and lightly, but the decisiveness and unquestionable in it would not be doubted even if Wei Zhongxian heard it.

Zhou Yuji, Huang Xiaoyu and other pro-soldiers are even more sympathetic.

Resolute eyes cast over, and saw that on the rice paper in front of the young man who was about to be crowned, there were several extremely vigorous Chinese characters written with an ink pen - Huaxia Daming, Daming Huaxia, because of the war, born for the war!

In the past few days, Chongzhen has listened to the words of the apocalypse and has not gone anywhere.

In addition to accompanying his wife, children, concubines, and daughters, he discussed with Zhou Yuji, Huang Xiaoyi, Yuan Qi and others how to select people whose enthusiasm has not yet subsided from the three major battalions and Jinyi Guards of the Beijing Division.

Like steelmaking, refine an iron-blooded force that will last to garrison the Jingshi.

The status of the capital in the minds of the Chinese people far surpasses that of the emperor, and it has an irreplaceable symbolic meaning.

As long as the Jingshi holds, then no matter how much the land outside the Jingshi is wreaked havoc, the Ming Dynasty will still have the possibility of turning the tables! It's an emergency plan, it's another insurance, and it has nothing to do with any reason!

At the same time, it is also so that Apocalypse can let go of his worries to the greatest extent and do his best to support this battle!

This is a test of the Ming Dynasty, and a test of whether the hearts of the Chinese people are still gathered in the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, it is also a test for Sun Yuanhua, and to see if he can submit a satisfactory answer sheet for Daming.

Especially in the past two years, Apocalypse has spared no effort in secretly supporting the Firearms Bureau.

As the main peak of Xiangshan, the incense burner peak - ghost sorrow, not only gathered all the local firearms researchers of the Ming Dynasty, such as Bi Maokang, who invented the flintlock musket, but also conducted a detailed study of the firearms theory proposed by Chongzhen.

With the support of theory, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

After countless sudden enlightenments, there was a great improvement in firearms technology.

Occasionally, they would also dissect and borrow from Western firearms.

He also kidnapped Western firearms experts from Nanyang and secretly transported them to Beijing, and as soon as Jinyiwei was tortured, no matter whether these so-called firearms experts were stubborn or proud, they would know everything and say everything.

In addition, Sun Yuanhua also attaches great importance to the improvement of iron-smelting technology.

Because he found out that most of the reasons for the explosion of firearms are due to the lag of iron-smelting technology, and in many cases, the theory has been fully equipped to develop more advanced firearms, but there is no technical support, and there is nothing to do.

Sun Yuanhua had never met King Xin, and he had never thought that the young general who came to the main peak of Xiangshan to inspect the progress of firearms research and development had completed the fateful blend with Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, in that fire.

Like Yuan Keli, he only regarded the "locust heroes" in the dust as the death of the cunning young man, in order to be able to hide in the shadows and better protect His Royal Highness King Xin.

Every time, Sun Yuanhua would put his arm around Chongzhen's shoulders, and asked him to greet King Xin on his behalf with a shy face, and enlist the support of King Xin, and say a lot of kind words in front of the apocalypse, so as to obtain better support, especially silver.

Chongzhen was full of promises, and he wanted to fulfill his promise very well, and he didn't even need to be conveyed by King Xin, because after stepping down this mountain, he would complete the change of identity again in the process of returning to Beijing.

The original name of the incense burner peak is ghostly, and the scenery is actually very good, but it is a pity that every time Chongzhen comes and goes, it is in a hurry, and there is no gap to appreciate. He is like an actor, wantonly switching between the two identities of "Young Soldier" and "Young King".

Both of these identities have a very strong mass base, and it is a great pity that either one is not used.

Just because the army that Chongzhen wants to create will be different from any period of Chinese history, it will be a young army with firearms as the mainstay, supplemented by cold weapons.

If you can withstand the forging of this gang in the "Jisi Campaign", then you will complete the transformation, and when the hot-blooded teenager grows into a resolute youth, all of them will be the pillars that support the building of the Ming Dynasty.

When firearms were popularized in all directions in the army of the Ming Dynasty, these people were used as instructors and as the core, and more firearms-based and even pure firearms youth armies were established.

If the "Jisi Campaign" is beyond the prediction of the Apocalypse and Chongzhen, then the founders of this army, such as Chongzhen, Zhou Yuji, and Huang Xiaoyu, will fight with all the young soldiers to the last soldier.

Once it is completed, then looking at the Ming Dynasty, even if the Guanning Army has introduced Hongyi cannons and is equipped with a large number of bird guns, it cannot be compared.
