didn't wait for Zheng Sen and the others to finish their exclamation.

The commander waved the flag again.

Five soldiers ran into the stadium with iron cylinders and stands more than one meter long, followed by pawns carrying two shells.

Zhu Youjian recognized it at a glance, it was a mortar. Zheng Sen naturally couldn't know it, and he looked at this thing that resembled a miniature cannon curiously.

Zheng Zhibao also looked curious, and couldn't think of what this object that said that the cannon was not a cannon and that the gun was not a gun could be used.

The soldier quickly opened the mortar's bracket and lowered it to the ground, half-crouching beside it.

The pawn behind him also half-crouched, carefully put one cannonball on the ground, held the other, and waited for the order.

"Put!"

The password is simple, just one word, unlike the flintlock pistol, which requires several instructions to complete the shot.

With the password, the pawn aimed the tail of the cannonball at the muzzle of the cannon, and easily handed.

The cannonball quickly slid in.

Boom......

With a loud bang, a fireball rushed forward, landed 200 paces away, and then made an earth-shattering noise, blasting a dozen 10-inch thick wooden stakes around it, staggering and covering iron pieces.

Soon, the soldier took the stake back and asked Chongzhen to take a look.

The little eunuch took the wooden stake, and the two of them moved it to the stone platform together, and everyone gathered around to check it.

Zheng Zhibao stretched his neck even more, eager to stare at him.

Zhu Youjian pinched a piece of shrapnel with his hand and pulled it outward, but the shrapnel went deep into the stake and did not move at all.

"Okay, with such power, if it hits the enemy, you will not die or be disabled!"

Hearing Chongzhen's words, Zheng Sen's curiosity was aroused, he peeked into the corner of the stake through the cracks, and saw that several pieces of iron were deeply pierced into it, not to mention how deep they were penetrated, just to say that the number of pieces of iron was enough to make the enemy frightened.

"I didn't expect that the imperial court already had such a powerful firearm, and it must be a deterrent to let my uncle and nephew come over recently, and let me pass on the message to my brother......" Zheng Zhibao was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought.

Seeing that Zhao Jiadi ordered the herald to wave the flag again, Zhu Youjian raised his hand to stop it, he knew that he would have to practice the improved Franc machine gun later.

"Alright, let's stop here today. The Arms Bureau has done a good job, and when my Fire Dragon Army is formed, I will be the first to reward you. ”

When Zhao Jiadi and the others heard this, they knelt down to thank them, and they didn't even dare to say it.

Zhu Youjian looked around, found Zheng Sen, and said, "Zheng Sen, go over there with me." ”

Everyone was surprised that Chongzhen actually summoned Zheng Sen alone to talk about things, what an honor.

Zheng Zhibao was also surprised, he didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to summon Fusong to talk alone, and hurriedly warned Zheng Sen with his eyes.

It's a pity that Zheng Sen has already gotten up, walked behind Chongzhen respectfully, and followed behind.

"Mistakes, mistakes." Zheng Zhibao sighed again and again, "Emperor Chongzhen is a moody lord, I knew this was the case, I should have told Fusong a few more words." If you are so unprepared, go up and answer, but don't poke any basket. ”

Although Zheng Sen is much smarter than his uncle, Zheng Zhilong has been in the South and East Seas for many years, and he has done many illegal things.

Although he has now returned to the imperial court, there are still some pirates.

The most important thing is that the Zheng family widely collects water fees for passing ships in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, which can be millions of taels per year.

Although Zheng Sen doesn't know much about this matter, he definitely doesn't know a lot. With such a huge income, if Chongzhen knows about it, it will be nationalized if it is light, and it will be killed if it is heavy.

Zheng Sen is straight-minded, and from the way of Confucius and Mencius in elementary school, the concept of loyalty and patriotism is deeply rooted in his heart.

This time he escorted Fan Xuanchao to the north, which was caused by his insistence on going his own way, and Zheng Zhilong really had no choice, so he sent his uncle to accompany him.

In case Zheng Sen really said about the water bill, then the Zheng family would have no other way but to rebel and flee to Nanyang.

Zheng Zhibao had long learned that his brother Zheng Zhilong supported the Tang Dynasty in Fujian, and wrote back early in the morning, explaining the original situation, hoping that his brother would give up his obsession with Conglong and arrest Tang Wang as soon as possible and send him to Beijing.

I don't know if Chongzhen has received the news of Fujian's rebellion.

Watching Zheng Sen and Chongzhen go farther and farther, Zheng Zhibao's heart went up and down, and his face gradually turned white.

……

Shanxi.

The main force of the breaking army fled first, and tens of thousands of Dashun new troops were surrounded and annihilated.

The carnage continued until sunset, and the small plain smelled of blood.

A few miles of land were dotted with captives with torches, cleaning the battlefield.

The field was littered with dead bodies, many with arrows pierced or with different heads.

In addition, there are many cruising ownerless war horses, and there are special soldiers to collect them.

The summer in Shanxi is still very hot, but this Shura field is cold.

The soldiers walked back and forth, noisy, and from time to time there were screams, which were the screams of the soldiers who were pretending to be dead being pierced through their bodies.

Some of the captives rummaged through the corpses, occasionally finding dry food and money, and secretly kept some for themselves, most of which were handed over to the generals.

Nikan sat on his horse, and his cronies behind him held high the banner and gathered the team.

The whole battlefield seems to be chaotic, but in fact it is orderly, and he is very skilled in how to clean the battlefield, how to gather the team, and how to count the loot.

In the distance, a uniformly dressed cavalry escorted a general sitting on a pitch-black horse and slowly walked into the battlefield.

This team exudes a flamboyant momentum, and you can feel a solemn aura from afar.

The swarthy steed strolled leisurely, stepping over stumps and broken arms, stepping through sparse pools of blood, like a roaming grim reaper.

The general was dressed in cold iron armor, indifferently looking down at the tragic scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, laughing, as if enjoying the beautiful scenery.

He pointed to the staggering group of captives in the distance, and said to the people beside him:

"Just pick some strong ones to come out, the old, weak, sick and disabled are all killed on the spot, and this king has no food to feed the waste."

Da Da Da ......

Seeing this, Nikan rode his horse, turned over and dismounted briskly, and stood with his fists clenched, "King Wuying, the 100,000 army of Han dogs has been wiped out." Up to 6,000 people fled. ”

"Hahaha, it's not a loss to love the descendants of Xinjueluo! Today's loot is all yours. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Nikan was overjoyed.

Azigrad grabbed the reins and continued: "How many big fish did you catch? ”

"I caught a soft egg by the river, and it fell at that time, claiming to be Bai Guangen, and there was another unknown name, who kept scolding and was cut down by me. It's a pity that Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin ran away. Nikan said.

"Haha, just run, Li Zicheng will be the king's prisoner sooner or later, let him live a few more days."

……

Li Zicheng watched the rout of tens of thousands of troops, and rushed for hundreds of miles with the cavalry of the old battalion, for fear of being dumpled by Jian.

He had a new understanding of Jianyu's military might.

In the past, his tactics of the Ming army were completely useless in Jianyu.

When I was still weak, I could spend a little money to get the officers and soldiers to make a way out.

Later, his troops and horses became stronger, and as long as he drove the displaced people to consume the officers and soldiers first, he could capture the city.

Before breaking through Beijing, he went all the way east from Xi'an, under the auspices of Li Guo, the slogan of King Chuang came and did not pay for food spread throughout the Central Plains, and most of the cities were voluntarily surrendered.

None of these methods can be used today.

Jianyu not only wants money and land, but also lives! Not only do they not pay for food, but they also rob women to grab money and food, and they will not feel sorry for the lives of the homeless, nor are they afraid of being consumed.

Li Zicheng really didn't have a safe response tactic, so he had to retreat in a hurry and find another way.

The Shun army went all the way south, and it was not until they entered Tongguan that Li Zicheng relieved himself.

"Quickly set up the defense! Prevent the Raids of the Prisoners! Li Zicheng shouted.
