Chapter 5: The Beginning of the Repeater
Fan Jingwen and the other four were taken aback by Zhu Youjian, and looked at this Inspector in disbelief.
"Do you know where the only elite soldiers of my Ming Dynasty are?"
Without waiting for the four to answer, Zhu Youjian continued: "It's Guan Ning Tieqi!"
The combat power of the Guanning Iron Cavalry makes it easy to exterminate the thieves. However, the whole army was still annihilated by Jianyu.
Correspondingly, the thief must not be the opponent of Jianyu.
Now, north of the Huai River, I only have the 40,000 soldiers and horses brought by Wu Sangui from Ningyuan and the original 10,000 horses from Shanhaiguan that can still be used.
The other soldiers and horses have long since left Germany.
If I go to Nanjing, Shanhaiguan will be in a situation where both the prisoners and the thieves are attacked.
At that time, Wu Sangui was either annihilated, or surrendered to the thieves, or surrendered to the captives.
After that, 100,000 iron horsemen broke into Shanhaiguan, which was the difficulty of my Ming Dynasty's demise! ”
The more Zhu Youjian spoke, the more excited he became, but Ni Yuanlu and the others shook their heads again and again.
"Shengshang, Jiangnan Zuo Liangyu, Ma Shiying and others are all famous generals, and they defend Nanjing, and then recover Gyeonggi, Shandong, and even Shaanxi and Shanxi, is the right way. And Wu Sangui is difficult to support alone......"
Shi Bangyao said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”
Ni Yuanlu immediately said: "Nanjing has a complete range of civil and military officials, and it can be operated at any time, and it is surrounded by rich land, and there is plenty of grain and grass!" ”
Shi Bangyao said: "...... minister"
"Wrong!" Zhu Youjian interrupted Shi Bangyao's unnutritious echo.
Zhu Youjian is familiar with the trend of history, so he will not go to Nanjing to deal with those warlords.
Now he has no soldiers and no pay, and if he goes, he will only be set aside.
More importantly, Zhu Youjian understands that the Ming Dynasty has rotted to the roots.
The various factions competed for power and profit, and no one cared about the Zhu dynasty at all.
It is almost impossible to integrate forces from within.
Only by learning from the modern revolution and redistributing land can he prosper the Ming Dynasty.
In the past few days, Zhu Youjian has already planned, and the top priority is to hold the Great Wall, wait for the hundred officials to surrender to Li Chuang, and watch Hongguang, Longwu, and Yongli ascend the throne.
Only in this way can there be a reason to punish hundreds of officials and royal relatives for the great crime of rebellion, and only then will they have the opportunity to lead tens of millions of displaced people to fight local tyrants reasonably and legally, divide the land, and rebel against creation!
Of course, he will not mention this strategic secret weapon to the few people in front of him.
After all, they believe in the system of "monarchs and scholars ruling the world together".
If they knew that they were going to take the knife with the nobles, I am afraid that they would soon betray their relatives and leave.
"Forget it, I won't tell you, stand down. Thirteen days later, you'll know I'm right! "It's good to be an emperor, and many times you can do a word.
Ni Yuanlu, Fan Jingwen, you look at me, I look at you, I can't help but smile bitterly.
If it weren't for Chongzhen's stubbornness in the past few years, Li Zicheng might not have been able to attack the Beijing Division. is in this situation, Chongzhen is still doing his own thing.
Seeing Chongzhen closing his eyes and keeping silent, several people had to retreat.
Walking into the distance, I can't help but sigh for a long time.
"Lord Ni, the Holy One is so stubborn, what should we do!" Fan Jingwen asked with a sad face.
"Wait, it's not a good time after all. Since the thieves forged the body of the saint, they must set up cards along the way to search for them, and go out rashly. Ni Yuanlu looked up at the dark night sky.
Ling Yiqu sighed, "When it's really a matter of life and death, I'll wait to escort the Holy Lord south." ”
Shi Bangyao stroked his beard and said, "Just do it." ”
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Chenen led the bloodshot Yue Ban to see Chongzhen.
"Long live, Chongzhen's repeater is ready!"
Zhu Youjian stood up suddenly, and didn't let Yue Ban salute, pulling him to see.
Yue Ban was frightened into a cold sweat, and staggered forward with Chongzhen.
After a while, Zhu Youjian touched the slightly rough secret weapon and was very excited.
"Quick, put on the arrow feathers, I want to see how it works."
"Yes!"
Yue Ban and his three sons put hundreds of specially made arrows into the repeater in turn, and their movements were extremely careful, for fear that something would go wrong.
Not far away, the soldiers involved in the creation pointed and whispered.
"You say, what did the emperor ask Yue Ban to build the wooden pimple for, so bulky."
"I can't see it, there are so many arrows, it can't be a large quiver."
"You know what, it's a weapon!"
"What kind of weapon is this? I think it's a wooden box. ”
Hearing the soldiers' criticism, Wang Chengen was about to reprimand, but Zhu Youjian waved his hand to stop him.
Half an hour later.
"Holy Lord, it's time to test fire!" Yue Ban Road.
"Good. Let's get started! ”
"Put!"
Following Yue Ban's command, a soldier pulled the mechanism, and a hundred sharp arrows galloped away with a sharp sound of breaking wind.
After a few breaths, the sound of arrows piercing into the trunk and dirt was heard from afar.
Zhu Youjian held his breath and concentrated, feeling that the voice was extremely far away, and his face showed a look of relief.
Wang Chengen let go of his clenched fist and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The surrounding soldiers were stunned when they saw that this wooden box could fire a hundred bows and arrows at a time, and after reacting, they opened their mouths wide one by one and exclaimed.
"Go and measure the distance and take the arrow back." Wang Chengen ordered.
The movement here was extremely great, and Ni Yuanlu and others were shocked.
Somehow, the four of them hurried over.
Seeing a group of people pointing around a huge wooden box, their faces were full of joy, and they didn't know why.
"Haha, Yue Ban, good job! You select a hundred soldiers, set up the Yue family army, and specialize in making crossbows! If you build ten Chongzhen repeaters in ten days, I will make you a viscount! Zhu Youjian was very excited.
Yue Ban immediately knelt down, saying that he didn't dare.
As long as there are enough repeaters, it is easy to eat Tang Tong.
Zhu Youjian was excited and said loudly:
"The dragon diving mountain cliff will be shocking,
For the time being, I will jump in the abyss;
Waiting for the gathering of the wind and clouds,
Feiteng Liuhe fought for nine days. ”
Fan Jingwen walked over quickly, surprised that Emperor Chongzhen had such a poetic talent.
I was even more surprised why Chongzhen was so optimistic about himself as a carpenter.
Even willing to be knighted.
You must know that Chongzhen has always been very stingy about the knighthood.
Looking at the four of Fan Jingwen with questions on their faces, Zhu Youjian laughed.
"Aiqing, come and take a look at the artifact that the emperor taught me in his dream the day before yesterday!"
"The Emperor? Emperor of the Apocalypse? In a dream? Artifact? Ni Yuanlu and others were even more puzzled.
"Yue Ban, try shooting again!" Wang Chengen saw what Chongzhen meant and commanded.
After a while, Yueban and his son loaded the sharp arrow again and fired it again.
With the sound of swishing through the air, the mouths of Ni Yuanlu and the others slowly opened and could no longer be closed.
"That's a hundred arrows! A person snapped it lightly and launched it? Ni Yuanlu's eyes were about to pop out.
When Zhu Youjian saw it, he couldn't help laughing.
"Wait, this is very surprised? Just now, the soldier replied that all of these 100 sharp arrows shot 500 steps, and the farthest could be more than 600 steps. And the roots are two or three inches into the trunk or the ground! ”
Hearing Chongzhen's words, Ni Yuanlu and the others opened their mouths even wider.
"An ordinary bow and crossbow can shoot 50 to 80 steps, but this weapon can shoot more than 500 steps!" Ni Yuanlu only felt that he was still dreaming.
"The Emperor of the Apocalypse has been working as a carpenter all his life, who would have thought that he would hide this secret weapon!" Zhu Youjian lied and did not make drafts.
Ni Yuanlu and the others completely lost their minds and hurriedly shouted long live in the direction of Deling (Tomb of the Emperor of the Apocalypse).
Zhu Youjian looked at this group of rotten Confucians and shook his head again and again, and said: "Eleven days later, the traitor Tang Tong will take 8,000 people to pass through here and take over Shanhaiguan. I'll use this crossbow to catch him off guard! ”
Ling Yiqu hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and subconsciously asked, "How does the Holy Lord know that Tang Tong dares to lead only 8,000 people to capture Shanhaiguan." ”
"It's not an attack, it's a takeover!" Zhu Youjian explained.
"Could it be that Wu Sangui has descended." Ni Yuanlu exclaimed. If Wu Sangui surrendered, they would not be completely surrounded.
"It's just a temporary drop, and when I completely annihilate Tang Tong's 8,000 people, Wu Sangui will naturally be used by me." Zhu Youjian said confidently.
"How can the Holy One be so sure?" Ling Yiqu asked again.
"I dreamed of it!" Zhu Youjian smiled kindly, revealing his snow-white teeth.
