"The Nanjing Forbidden Army?" Choi Chengxiu chewed on the name of this army.

The Ming Dynasty was a little different from other dynasties, when Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang set the capital in Nanjing. Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne naturally in Nanjing, and Yongle Emperor Zhu Di raised troops and Jingjing, and the initial capital was also in Nanjing.

However, after Zhu Di settled in Nanjing, the northern frontier, especially Hebei, was harassed by the Mongols. So the warlike emperor moved the capital of the Ming Dynasty to the current capital. It is to guard the country for the Son of Heaven, and the king dies.

However, Nanjing, as the former capital, still retains a complete set of six imperial courts. The palace of the Ming royal family is also in Nanjing, and if there is a palace, there will naturally be a forbidden army. This is the origin of the Nanjing Forbidden Army!

Jingshi is already the irreplaceable capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the six departments of Nanjing have become a place for retirement. The Nanjing Military Department is still in the book, and he can mobilize a hundred and ten errands in his hands, and if he is in charge of the soldiers, he will be the Nanjing Forbidden Army in his hands. Neither power nor prestige can be compared with Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ming Army.

And the forbidden army in Nanjing, it is even more unlikely. The number of posts has been reduced again and again, and it is now estimated that the strength may be in the hundreds. So much so that Cui Chengxiu felt a little unfamiliar with this army.

"The Nanjing forbidden army was transferred north? Do you know Qi Jiajun? Do you know the White Pole Soldier? These are my Ming Tiger Masters! How? It's not that it has been wiped out by the Tartars on the banks of the Hun! The Nanjing Forbidden Army, transferred to Liaodong is not enough to stuff the teeth. Ridiculous! ”

"Hehehe! Lord Shang Shu didn't know that the Nanjing Forbidden Army had become a strong army after the training of Lord Shi, with more than 4,500 soldiers. And they are equipped with the most elite firearms of the Franc Robot, and their instructors are all Franc Robots. Two days ago, a letter was sent saying that the Nanjing Forbidden Army had been able to compete with the Liaodong General Army. ”

"Master Shi? Shi Kefa? Cui Chengxiu vaguely remembered that last year, it seemed that Shi Kefa, the head of the military department who came back from Liaodong, was sent to Nanjing. His original intention was to abolish Shi Kefa's future, because Shi Kefa had a teacher named Zuo Guangdou. Unexpectedly, in just over eight months, he actually made such a big move.

"The Ministry of the Army has not allocated any money to the Nanjing Forbidden Army, how can they go and buy the firearms of the Franc machine?" Cui Chengxiu turned his mind around eight times, and he didn't remember that he had allocated money and food to the Nanjing Forbidden Army. On the contrary, because of Shi Kefa's relationship, he deducted a lot of money and food from the Nanjing Forbidden Army during this time.

"The Nanjing Forbidden Army is the foundation of defending my Jiangnan, and the fathers and elders of Jiangnan are naturally generous. The money they used to buy firearms was all donated by Jiangnan fathers and elders. As soon as Qian Qianyi said it, Cui Chengxiu understood.

I don't know how this Master Shi persuaded the Jiangnan chaebol to let these rich people in Jiangnan invest money to drum up such an army. There was no silver to ask the court for!

"You are so bold that you dare to recruit soldiers privately!" Cui Chengxiu's eyes began to turn cold when she looked at Qian Qianyi.

The hat of private recruitment is very big, why are you doing it yourself, do you want to rebel. In fact, the latter charge of private recruitment is an attempt to rebel.

Intention! That means you want to do it, you have this idea.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, attempting to rebel is a chopping word. Even if there is a Danshu iron coupon, it is inevitable that there is a major crime of intent to rebel. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many people were killed by this crime.

"Huh! Cui Shangshu was wrong again, the Nanjing Forbidden Army belonged to the Nanjing Military Department. Master Ma Shiyingma of the Nanjing Military Department is the organizer of this recruitment. The Nanjing Forbidden Army actually had 4,500 personnel, and not a single soldier of the Horse Troops Department was increased. It's just that with the support of Jiangnan's fathers, the sharp Franc machine firearms were replaced for the sons, how can this be called private recruitment? ”

"There are so many posts in the Nanjing Forbidden Army?" The status of the Nanjing Forbidden Army was so low that Cui Chengxiu couldn't even remember how many posts they had.

"This kind of thing is all a case, Qian Qianyi is just a person, how dare he deceive Cui Bingbu?" Qian Qianyi had a smile on his face, and now Cui Chengxiu really wanted to beat this guy.

"Your proposal, let Ma Shiying play it. After the Ministry of War has discussed with the elders, please ask Your Majesty to decide. Cui Chengxiu is talking about going through formal channels, and generally this kind of official document will be taken home by Wei Zhongxian to fill the fire pit and break the table legs. If you want to get a reply, let's go to the next life!

"Cui Bingbu really wants Li Xiao to go on like this? After another three or five years, Li Xiao will no longer be checked and balanced under his full wings. I don't know how Cui Bing's department will deal with itself when the time comes.

This man is a wolf with ambitions, don't look at him now being deferential to your lords. It's really become a climate, not only Cui Bingbu is afraid that even nine thousand years old will not be able to die well. Let's ask Li Xiao to enter Beijing, have you ever met 9,000 years old, but have you ever met Master Cui. He is just a Liaodong general soldier, and when he comes to the capital in public or private, he should visit Lord Cui, the military department.

It can be seen that he has no reverence for Lord Bingbu and the nine thousand years old in his heart. The next day, if he became the weather. Hey! Qian Qianyi sneered twice.

Cui Chengxiu couldn't help but shudder, he was worried about the future all day today. This future is not very far away, probably three or five years from now. According to his physical condition, it should not be a problem to live to that age.

"The Nanjing Forbidden Army is only more than 4,500 people, but Li Xiao's men have 20,000 elites. Liaodong is now his territory, how can you fight with him? ”

"Lord Bingbu, the soldiers are all beaten. Although the Nanjing Forbidden Army is now only 4,500 people, when Li Xiao first came out, the number of soldiers was only 1,800. Li Xiao is just a mere concubine, he has to do business everywhere to support his soldiers.

But the Nanjing forbidden army has the support of the Jiangnan fathers. At this point, the eight Li Xiao are beyond the reach of the dust. As long as the Nanjing Forbidden Army is given enough training, it will definitely become a strong soldier like Li Xiao. At that time, the imperial court will also have a strong force that can compete with Li Xiao. Qian Qianyi invited, and hoped that the military department would think twice. ”

"You go back for the time being, and the official will give you an answer tomorrow." Cui Chengxiu sent Qian Qianyi back, but he didn't know what these guys wanted to do. Is it really like they said to go to Liaodong to train troops? Is there such a loyal and patriotic guy in these years? !

Before figuring out Qian Qianyi's purpose, Cui Chengxiu had to think carefully.

If Qian Qianyi was the roundworm in Cui Chengxiu's stomach, he would definitely be so angry that he would spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

The reason why the Nanjing Forbidden Army invited the war was really for military training. Although this was only Shi Kefa's idea, it was supported by the Jiangnan chaebols represented by Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi.

Shi Kefa thought very simply, to train an elite division for Daming. Ma Shiying and the Jiangnan chaebols don't think so, they want to get a strong army to protect their interests.

Wei Zhongxian slaughtered the Donglin Party in the capital, and the Donglin Party was unexpectedly unable to parry. It's not because the Donglin Party has many officials in the DPRK and China. But there was no strong force in his hands, which made the eunuch party led by Wei Zhongxian fearful.

What a lesson from the past! The Jiangnan chaebols found that simply supporting the Donglin Party in the imperial court could no longer protect their interests. They resolutely went the other way, with a reliable and powerful force to defend their wealth.

Compared to Wei Zhongxian's appetite, the money for raising soldiers is really not much.

So when Shi Kefa asked to follow Li Xiao's example and recruit soldiers in the famous compulsory army. The chaebols in Jiangnan have the money to contribute and the power to contribute. Ma Shiying, who is also a representative of the Jiangnan chaebol, also immediately handed over the Nanjing Forbidden Army to him for control. In this way, Shi Kefa can be in just half a year. Buy equipment and recruit training soldiers.

Now, after more than three months of training, the soldiers have mastered the same linear tactics as Li Xiao under the guidance of the instructor of the Franc machine. Even Shi Kefa bought thirty-six artillery pieces to form a powerful artillery force.

Seeing that it was winter again, Shi Kefa participated in the Battle of Jinzhou. Knowing that the Tartars generally like to invade in winter, he begged Qian Qianyi for help. Please transfer the Nanjing Forbidden Army to enter Liaodong in advance to adapt to the terrain and climate of Liaodong to fight.

Cui Chengxiu, who thought about it for a night in the study, finally figured it out. Early the next morning, he approved the document of the Nanjing Forbidden Army to enter Liaodong to fight with a pair of panda eyes. This is the first time since he took office as the secretary of the military department, he has worked hard for the Ming Jiangnan, and he has not collected any benefits for himself.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The Jinzhou wharf was very lively today, and Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and others came to see these black pipes that were transported off the ship. These black pipes are thick and large, and an ox cart drawn by two oxen can only pull one. Those rails are not lightweight, and the scalpers who are tired of pulling the cart "moo" and "moo" call directly.

"Why are there only a few rails?" Yuan Chonghuan had seen the power of rockets and knew that this thing needed to be mounted on a guide rail to launch.

"There are a total of sixty guide rails, and thirty are prepared at the head of Jinzhou City. The other thirty were loaded onto three converted cargo ships. "Since the Jinzhou War last year, Li Xiu has made great contributions. Li Xiao felt that using gunboats to bombard the shore was definitely a sharp weapon to hit the Jurchens. Since the Jurchens began, they have relied on cavalry to fight the world.

But the cavalry rode horses, not tuna, after all. The Jurchen Eight Banners can gallop on land, but they cannot pose a threat to sea targets. In the Battle of Jinzhou last winter, Li Xiu used the bombardment of naval artillery to greatly help Yuan Chonghuan in the city.

Nurhachi can't do anything even if his head is smoking, whoever lets Jinzhou City lean against the sea.

Zu Dashou couldn't close his mouth in surprise, such a big guy could fly out by himself. It can still be fried, oh my God! The shells of the mortar are only as big as they are, and the explosion is already so powerful. The size of this thing, how many mortar shells must explode.

"Let's go! Go into town and have a look. "Li Xiao and Sun Chengzong have been staying in Shanhaiguan, and this time they came to Jinzhou mainly to inspect Jinzhou's city defense. The city wall that was repaired last year was almost broken during the Jinzhou War. It has to be said that the artillery of the Dutch still caused great damage to the Jinzhou city wall.

At the beginning of spring this year, Yuan Chonghuan mobilized the people to start repairing the city wall. More than half of the cement produced by the Changxing Island Cement Plant is supplied to Jinzhou. At the height of the crisis, Li Xiao even reduced the supply of real estate development projects in the capital in order to ensure the progress of the construction of the Jinzhou city wall.

It seems that it is September, and the weather in Liaodong will turn cold in October. When the time comes, there is no way to catch up with the deadline.

From a distance, the walls of Jinzhou are not as black as they used to be. Instead, it was a bright gray glow, which Li Xiao knew was the result of using a lot of cement. I have to say that Yuan Chonghuan is very good at laying bricks.

After the Jinzhou War, the dilapidated Jinzhou City is now full of vitality.

The walls are densely populated with people, and the houses in the city are also undergoing final renovations. The newly built houses are not like before, they are all blue brick houses. Now they are all red brick and tile houses, and the walls have to be painted with white plaster, which is a qualified house.

Li Xiao patted the thick city wall and was very satisfied with the construction project. Although he knew that with the increasing power of artillery. The city wall will eventually be eliminated, but now the city wall can still give very good protection to the Ming army that is not strong in field warfare.

"Has the winter bullet arrived?" Li Xiao suddenly remembered that last year was at a critical time. Because the barrel shrinks, the gun can't go off.

"Winter bullets have already arrived on two ships, and they will continue to arrive in the future. This thing, really won't have any more problems? "I think about the danger caused by the failure of the gun to go off last year. Ao Canghai was a little afraid, if it wasn't for the critical moment Li Xiu bombarded the sea ice. This leads to the cracking of the sea ice, creating a separation zone. The cavalry of the Red Banner rushed into the marching formation, and it was all over.

The Ming army, accustomed to the use of firearms, was not accustomed to close combat. It's not the opponent of the Eight Flags at all!

"Not anymore! The fisherman played a package ticket with me! Li Xiao didn't know the bottom in his heart, but now he can only say that. If a soldier doesn't trust what he has in his hands, the consequences will be catastrophic.

"That's good!" Ao Canghai rubbed his hands. This year, his mission is to defend Kyaw Hoa Island, and he has prepared a large number of mortars. He also prepared a huge bomb for the trebuchet, and this time even without Li Xiu's help, he could blow up the thick sea ice by himself.

Walking through the city gate cave, Li Xiao found that the city wall of Jinzhou was nearly ten meters thick.

"Today's walls are solid, and the military paths are built from the outside. With this thickness, even the artillery of the Tartars did not have much to do. "Yuan Chonghuan can be regarded as having suffered enough losses from the Dutch artillery, and this time he built the Jinzhou city wall to a thickness of ten meters. This time, even the Dutch were not afraid to set up a hundred and ten guns. I don't believe it, your artillery can gnaw through a ten-meter-thick wall.

If it really gnawed through the city wall, it is estimated that Li Xiu's warship would also go to sea. Artillery that is exposed to artillery fire is a living target.
