Chapter 173: Next time, definitely
Yang Shen is also preparing intensively, what else can he do when he encounters this kind of unreliable His Majesty, first replace Beijing's city defense, and then gradually transport the equipment that should be there.
In fact, it is relatively normal, at least there are more than 20,000 excellent troops, although it is not very useful, but it is still possible to help, but looking at the spears and cannons on the city wall, Yang Shen is still very satisfied, the Tatar army has a total of more than 300,000 troops, even if they all come, the city wall of Beijing is strong, and he feels that there is no problem at all.
Suddenly, he seemed to see a familiar figure, "Eh, who is that, come over here." ”
"Commander, what's the matter with you?" The little soldier looked at Yang Shen in confusion.
"Ah, it's okay, you go get busy, serve a snack, by the way, are you from Jinyiwei, why haven't I seen you?" Yang Shen always felt that the guy in front of him was very familiar, but he just couldn't say it, he always felt weird.
"Yes, my lord, I'm from Jinyiwei, engaged in the manufacture and use of firearms, and I don't usually walk much, and it's normal that adults haven't seen it." The soldier's casual explanation, with a little nervousness, no flaws at all.
"Well, then you can go down." After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any results, so Yang Shen didn't want to, since he could say something, it was his own person.
"No." The soldier saluted slightly, and then left as if nothing had happened.
When he left Yang Shen's sight, Zhu Houxi breathed a sigh of relief, Sample, Lao Tzu can still make you find out when he comes out, it is boring to stay in the palace, and when Kong Ci has almost learned, he will use the disguise technique to change the appearance of the two, and then come up to prepare for the war.
The Tatars on the border pass directly sent 300,000 troops, but they were blocked by Qi Jingtong, who had been prepared, and all kinds of large-scale firearms were directly forced to the opposite side, the only drawback was that there was no cannon and could not be fired far, but when the air force appeared for the first time, it still blinded everyone's eyes.
No one knows what that flying in the sky is, or what it will drop and explode violently.
In fact, this thing is actually good for casualties, although it is very powerful, but the bomb is really not very easy to transport, so although Qi Jingtong has it here, there are not many of them, plus there are only a few hot air balloons in total, and the lethality is limited, but the effect of this thing on horses is absolutely amazing.
The deafening sound sent frightened horses scurrying around, and the stampede killed soldiers did more damage than bombs.
Qi Jingtong saw that it was a blood boiling, if it weren't for the infantry in his hands, he would definitely go out to kill a wave, but he finally held back, although the opposite formation was disrupted, but the number of people was there, and it was not advantageous for his own soldiers to rush out, it was better to shoot from a distance.
Qi Jingtong was very calm, taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy army, he directly used long-range equipment to consume, and when the enemy army withdrew, only a place of corpses was left.
But the enemy army did not love war, and rushed in desperately, fortunately, Qi Jingtong had already prepared, sent heavy troops, and directly scolded him back, but this is more for the infantry, the cavalry really can't stop it, it's not that they don't work hard, but the cavalry's mobility is too strong to stop it at all.
"General, what to do, a large group of cavalry tore through our line and rushed in."
"How many?" Qi Jingtong clenched his fists, his heart was difficult to calm down, although His Majesty had already said that he didn't need to take care of the army that went in, but he still didn't feel at ease.
"There are about 30,000 people, and there is a group of infantry, the cavalry will definitely not be able to stop it, what about the rest of the generals, do you chase them?" Since the cavalry rushed in, it was almost impossible to chase it back, and two legs could not outrun four legs, but the infantry could.
"Don't chase, stabilize the line of defense, bite the rest of the people, and don't let anyone in." Qi Jingtong gritted his teeth, there are not many troops on his side, after a few days of fighting, there are only 100,000 people now, if he divides his troops to chase after him, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold it, and once the defense line is torn apart, it will be even more troublesome at that time.
"No." The man had to be ordered to go, and the horse leather shroud died on the battlefield, which was the glory of a soldier, and this was not only for His Majesty, but also for his family, for his own prosperity, so this battle must be fought.
Qi Jingtong looked in the direction of Beijing City, and silently thought in his heart, "Your Majesty, you must not have anything to do, you still have a backhand, right?" ’
"Firearms battalion, shoot me." On the battlefield, he can't think too much, what he has to do now is to suppress the firepower, and then decline and exhaust in one go, as long as he sends this wave back to the back, it will be easy to fight.
The news that the defense line was torn apart naturally spread to the capital quickly, and everyone was relieved to hear that there were only 50,000 soldiers and horses at most, Qi Jingtong was still powerful, and stopped 200,000 soldiers and horses, and most of the 50,000 soldiers and horses were put in.
After the steppe cavalry broke through the defense line, they did nothing, and went straight to Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they could take down their emperor, and then the food and beauty would not be as much as they wanted.
"It's coming, it's coming, everyone is ready." Looking at the smoke in the distance, you can know that the Tatars are coming, and the members of the Jinyi Guard on the city wall have also picked up the things in their hands, and the distance of the cannons has been adjusted, just waiting for the enemy to come in.
"Hey, brother, I haven't seen you before, where are you?" Zhu Houxi is taking money to aim, the scene of tens of thousands of cavalry charging is really spectacular, he has never had an experience, and there should be a lot of casualties where he has passed.
There's no way, if he can, he doesn't want to let it in, keep the enemy out of the country, but there's no way, if the cavalry wants to go and don't love to fight, Qi Jingtong can't prevent it, and there may be ghosts or something, it's really hard to guard, but he will definitely make these guys pay the price.
"I'm from the firearms manufacturing department, and it's normal that you haven't seen it." Now that the enemy is still far away, Zhu Houxi also smiled and chatted with the soldiers next to him.
Although Jin Yiwei often sees blood or something, he has definitely never been on the battlefield, and it is normal to be a little nervous, especially for many new recruits, it is normal to be nervous, and when the real fight starts, the adrenal hormones begin to secrete, and they will not think about this.
"Skilled workers, the commander is baby, you all come up?" The little soldier next to him was a little envious, these technicians are the treasures of the commanders, they eat and drink well every day, and their wages are higher than them, but there is no way, he is careless, he can't do these jobs, he can only envy them on the side.
"Harm, isn't there no way, there are so many troops, can't we do it, brother, where are you?" Zhu Houxi chatted with or without a match, it felt quite interesting, he had only been the emperor for one year, to be honest, he had actually changed a lot in this year, how to say it, he was getting farther and farther away from ordinary people.
He is the supreme son of heaven, and his martial arts are even far away from ordinary people, no matter how good his mentality is, he has stood at the top for a long time, and he will always look down on people.
"Me, I'm just a gatekeeper, we don't have that skill, we can only do some rough work, but now Yulu is much stronger than before, of course, it's still not as good as you, your Yulu is enviable."
Zhu Houxi could clearly see envy in his eyes and tone, but there was only envy, not jealousy or anything, sure enough, people are always easy to be satisfied now, no way, the class nature of society is too big, and the people have no room to rise at all.
And now, Zhu Houxi has given this opportunity, everything is according to personal ability, as long as you are willing to improve, there will always be a chance, even if you can't be an official, as long as you work hard, the economy will not be bad.
This is normal, you don't want to give anything, how can people give you your life, although in this era human life is like a mustard, the people themselves have become numb, encountering such an opportunity, like a ray of light in the dark, naturally want to give it a try.
"Well, it's just average, I heard that the R&D department has the highest salary, and if you can go there, then you will be rich." For the salary of Jinyiwei, Zhu Houxi still has some understanding, the salary of the R&D department is naturally the highest, first of all, we must set a tone, after all, no matter how much you do, it is better to develop a good thing.
"Alas, the salary there is naturally high, I heard that there are three times as much as us, but it's a pity, I can't read, it's difficult to get in, I heard that at least you have to be literate, and there are drawings or something, a lot of assessments, and it's not just going in, I heard that there is a risk of dismissal if you don't contribute anything for a while, but that's also enviable, by the way, brother, are you literate?"
"Literacy, otherwise how would I think."
"Literacy, literacy, it's a pity that I don't know, otherwise I would definitely try."
"Then why don't you study, we can pay for classes internally, and it's not expensive." This is all proposed by Zhu Houxi, opening a school internally, Jinyiwei internal personnel can use their spare time to study, and there is not much money, it is a kind of compulsory education for public welfare, but it is not mandatory, if you are motivated, you will learn, and it doesn't matter if you are not motivated.
Because Jinyiwei will definitely be streamlined in the later stage, it may be mainly responsible for research and development in the future, and one of the manufacturing should be stripped out, otherwise the volume here is getting bigger and bigger, and Yang Shen may not be able to manage it.
"Me, I'm a big boss, it's better to save some money for my family." There was some yearning in this little soldier's eyes, but more helplessly, in fact, he had also listened to a few lessons, but what he said was the same as the book of heaven, and he couldn't understand it at all.
"Actually, you can try, and I heard that in the future, our Jinyiwei will continue to expand the scale, and our families may also be taken down together, and our wives can also find a job in it, and the children can also receive education." Zhu Houxi had such a plan, but he didn't want to pick it up.
There are too many people in the future, he means to find a suitable place to build a city directly, an industrial city, it sounds very interesting, after all, it is indeed a bit cruel not to see the sun, and when the city is built a little bigger, even if it is not allowed to go out, it is actually okay.
Although there is a disguised meaning of imprisonment, where can ordinary people go except for their own homes and fields, when the time comes, it will be a big deal if the land circle is larger, which is also their protection.
New things will inevitably cause the exploration of major forces, and these staff will also fall into all kinds of temptations, and once someone betrays, Zhu Houxi will definitely not spare them, so this is also a kind of protection in disguise.
"Is this true?" The man's eyes were full of hope, he couldn't do it, it didn't mean that he didn't want his children to be like him, the first thing he did when he made money was to find a way to send his children to school, but unfortunately, private school was not so easy to go to, no fame, and it wouldn't work if he had money.
Well, now it's okay, if Jinyiwei is willing to take their children to school, it would be great, and His Majesty and Lord Yan will not treat them badly, only reading is the way to change their own prestige, he doesn't ask his children to take the imperial examination in the future or anything, he just hopes that the child can read and write, at least he will not be bullied because he is illiterate.
"That's naturally true, what am I lying to you for, what's the benefit?" Zhu Houxi held his head high, looking proud, this is the sadness of the little people, of course, they are also easy to be satisfied, as long as they can see a little hope, it is very satisfied.
Just like in my previous life, as long as I have a little gain, I am very satisfied, where are there any higher expectations, I dare not have them at all.
"Hey, how do you know this, I haven't heard of it?" The man was a little confused.
"The sixth nephew of the grandson of the third cousin of my second uncle's sister-in-law is on an errand in the palace, I listened to him, the news is absolutely reliable, you are not allowed to say it." Zhu Houxi looked cautious.
"It's really good, there is also a relative who is on an errand in the palace, what news is there in the future, don't forget your brother, when you have a holiday, I will invite you to tea, and the sixth nephew of the grandson of the third cousin of your second uncle's sister-in-law will also be called." No matter what time it is, the source and channel of the news are very important, and the news in the palace is already extremely reliable.
The corners of Zhu Houxi's mouth twitched, this guy really remembered, he didn't remember this complicated relationship, it was just fun, and he really had the ability.
"Hey, you can't help but come." The man seemed to be afraid that Zhu Houxi would regret it, so he stabbed him.
"Definitely, definitely, next time." Zhu Houxi smiled, yes, I'm afraid I really believe it, indeed, if you can catch up with the people in the palace, it will be easier to do errands in the future.
"What are you two muttering there, the enemy is coming soon, cheer up." scolded and quickly blocked the man's words, and Zhu Houxi also breathed a sigh of relief.
