With a loud bang, the three-pound cannonball hit the cart, and the cart jumped violently, and when it fell again, it was already shattered, and the sawdust and coated blood flew up in the scream.

As the artillery fire continued, more fragments of the cart flew into the air and landed on Bao Yi's head, and the sharp wooden thorns continued to pay the price of casualties.

Rumble! A shield cart was destroyed like a toy.

The cannonballs fired by the jack of the Franc machine exploded the front plate of the shield car into countless debris with huge kinetic energy, and the flesh and blood behind the car flew sideways, and it was knocked several meters away, and the screams were terrible and terrifying.

Half of the trench has not been filled, nearly half of the wagons have been destroyed, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and the wagons behind have not had time to be refilled.

A dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the musketeers behind the breastwork, under the command of the officers, finally fired the first round of defensive fire.

More than 100 light and heavy muskets were fired at the same time, and heavy white smoke rose on the chest wall, and the lead bullets came instantly, easily piercing the light armor of the coat, and in the bloom of blood flowers, blood arrows shot out.

Boom, boom! The two Tiger Squat Cannons erupted countless projectiles in a roar, forming a fan that rained down on the enemy like a raging storm.

Zhao Huaiyi squatted behind the car with his head in his hands, his mouth wide open, his ears were full of the roar of guns, and he couldn't even hear the screams and wails around him.

In the pool of blood next to him, there were comrades who were struggling and rolling in pain, and I don't know how many lead bullets they had hit, and the blood was first sprayed, then gurgled out, and there was a trace of heat on the ice and snow ground.

Finally, the cart was pushed up again, barely blocking the scattered wall of the cart that had been blown up.

Zhao Huaiyi didn't know how long the wooden wall in front of him could last, but he couldn't see the flickering firelight and flying cannonballs on the opposite side, and he seemed to have received some self-deceptive comfort in his heart.

It's just the first trench, how many dead and wounded do you have to break through to break through the three?

As soon as Zhao Huai thought of this, the psychological comfort he had just received turned into sadness and fear in a blink of an eye.

Turning his gaze slightly, he saw that the slightly steaming puddle of blood on the ground had already emitted heat, and was thickening and coagulating.

The wounded companion also stopped struggling in pain, and his eyes were open like dead fish, showing a strange stiffness.

The sound of the horn whimpered and woke up Zhao Huaiyi, and his dull gaze turned into the distance.

Nurhachi gave the order again, and the entrenchment was forced by Jiannu to rush forward again.

Those who suffered casualties from the bombardment in front were in hell, but from the commander's point of view, this was only a prelude to the attack, and the losses were expected.

When the ants attack the city, the guns are fired, the flesh and blood are flying, and the casualties are everywhere, that is the real tragedy. And the real generals will not frown at this.

………………… Divider........................

The information of the Later Jin army Lin Ningyuan was sent to the Beijing division on the fifth day of the first month. From Juehua to Tianjin by sea, and then with 800 miles of expedited delivery, it was already a very fast speed at that time.

And Dongjiang Town's response plan was delivered almost at the same time, that is, the operation had already begun.

The action plan has been approved and supported by Mr. Yuan, and it is almost the most stable insurance, increasing the number of troops and brigades, attacking head-on, and fighting against the two red flags of the Houjin Army.

Dengzhen dispatched a joint force, plus the former association of Dongjiang Town, and the three joint troops of the brigade, the total strength has reached 30,000, exceeding the two red flags.

In fact, in Zhu Youxiao's view, such a restraint is dispensable.

There is no problem with Ning Yuan's insistence, and Zhu Youxiao is quite confident in this; 30,000 horses and horses playing two flags do not have an overwhelming advantage, and there is still a brigade that needs to be garrisoned, so it is even more impossible to come out.

But the plan has already been formulated, and it is good to train the troops.

Zhu Youxiao didn't have any special explanation, but just wrote a reply letter to Teacher Yuan and Mao Wenlong, reiterating the importance of the University and not affecting the defense of the University because of the containment action.

In the battle against the Later Jin Army, Zhu Youxiao was quite conservative. It was also because he did not know enough about the ancient methods of warfare, and commanding operations was only based on imagination and some knowledge of later generations.

Therefore, the field battle was something that Zhu Youxiao tried to avoid. In his plan, the mature mastery of the cavalry wall tactics and the large amount of flintlock pistol equipment were the basis and premise for the Ming army and the Later Jin army to conduct field battles.

As far as the present situation is concerned, it is not easy for the officers and men of Liaozhen and Dongjiang Town, as well as Dengzhen and Jinzhen, who have actual combat experience, to grow up, and Zhu Youxiao does not want to suffer heavy casualties.

If he could rely on money and consumption to defeat Houjin, Zhu Youxiao would definitely choose it, and there was no hesitation. Even if he could kill fewer people, he thought it would be worth it.

As an emperor, he seems to have integrated into this era, but his ideology still maintains the purposes and principles of his previous life. Although there have been changes, it is impossible to become exactly like the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe that's a good thing, and it's a little bit human. Although he killed a lot of people, it seems that there is only one fool who kills people.

Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly, sealed the secret music of the reply, handed it to Wang Tiqian, and asked casually: "The houses outside the palace are all arranged?" ”

Wang Tiqian hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, everything is arranged, it is very close to the palace, and the servants are also reliable people, so I can't see it." ”

After a pause, he added, "It's getting late today, and the emperor can go check it out tomorrow." If it doesn't suit your heart, you can change it quickly. ”

The servant can't see it if he's not a eunuch, and he doesn't live there, it's just a meeting place! Zhu Youxiao nodded, motioned for Wang Tiqian to step down, he sat down in front of the table, picked up his pen and began to write "Chemistry".

There is no way, this book can only be written by him, and no one else can make it up at all. Moreover, after the compilation, it will also be a confidential teaching, carefully selected students.

What encroaches on carp pi peng, carbon egg to raise blessing milk...... Zhu Youxiao is thoughts are like springs, as soon as this book comes out, there is nothing to do with the old family at all.

Who said that the road to the peak of science is arduous and tortuous? Here in Zhu Youxiao, it is a matter of one step to the sky. Finally able to give full play to his professional expertise, although in his previous life, he couldn't even find a job with these.

Great scientists, great chemists, great scientific achievements. It means that Daming will have more powerful explosives, agricultural fertilizers to increase production and income, soda ash, soap, and pharmaceutical preparations......

Zhu Youxiao wrote one article after another, using a quill pen and a swan. The emperor has to be of high grade, and he must show dignity everywhere.

Li Chengcheng didn't know when he approached and asked, "Emperor, do you want to rest in the warm pavilion tonight?" ”

Zhu Youzheng was immersed in the excitement of creating a great feat, and said "um" casually, without even raising his head, and continued to move his pen like flying.

Li Chengcheng peeked at it, and there were some Chinese characters all over the ghost, but he didn't understand it. She quietly retreated again, not daring to disturb the emperor's interest.

Hurry up and make it up, if you don't write it down on paper, maybe you will forget it! I have made up a lot of them in my spare time before, which is relatively scattered, but now they are connected in series to form a more complete and coherent system, and junior high school chemistry is basically covered and qualified!

Principal Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that if he sorted out the fine school, it could be used as a teaching material to torture those future chemists of the Ming Dynasty.

Put away the paper and lock it in the box, Zhu Youxiao did not prepare to print, so he used it as a secret book and passed it on from generation to generation. As for the signature, he is already an emperor, and he still needs that reputation?

Yawning and stretching his waist, Zhu Youxiao washed up briefly, and then returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion, which was already late at night.

When he saw Li Chengcheng asleep on the couch, Zhu Youxiao smiled. It's really a competent bed warmer, I just asked myself, that's what it means!

In ancient times, Yahuan's status was humble, not only in the palace, but also in high-ranking families. One of these jobs is to warm the bed, also known as the bed warmer.

After all, the winter is cold, and there is no electric blanket, electric heater or anything, and it is very uncomfortable to get into the cold quilt.

Therefore, before the owner sleeps, the warm bed girl ring has to get into it first, use her own body temperature to warm the bed, and when the owner sleeps, it will be much more comfortable.

Of course, warm and warm, unspeakable things may happen to Yahuan and the master, and they will be upgraded to concubines.

It was not the first time that Li Chengcheng had warmed the emperor's bed, but this time he fell asleep. It can be said that this is a dereliction of duty. Normally, she should wait until the emperor comes, get up to serve, then blow out the lights and go back to sleep outside.

Zhu Youxiao didn't blame, watching the girl snort slightly, sleeping quietly and comfortably, he sat lightly on the edge of the couch and watched quietly.

Although the historical record of Li Chengcheng becoming a hamster is too mysterious, it is not all nonsense. Among them, Liu Ruoyu's "Chronicles of the Middle" is also recorded, and there are still some credible information.

Because of her righteousness, she offended Lao Wei and the Hakka family by giving her good sister Fan Huifei, who had fallen out of favor, in front of the emperor when she was serving Zhu Youxiao. was indeed demoted to a palace maid and expelled to the West Five Institute to do hard work, and was not restored to the concubine position until Chongzhen.

But no matter whether it is true in the history books or not, Zhu Youxiao will not be a ruthless carpenter emperor. Or the thinking concept of his previous life, he will treat his woman well, no matter what her background is.

When Li Chengcheng woke up, the lights in the warm pavilion had been extinguished, and she was already in the emperor's arms.

"The Emperor—" The girl screamed, not knowing whether she was surprised or delighted, or if she just subconsciously asked when she just woke up.

Well, Zhu Youxiao snorted and said softly: "Hug each other warmly, don't talk, I'm tired, go to sleep!" ”

It's really tired, except for Zhang Yuer, a pregnant woman, "Zhu Sanpao" is working quite hard in the new year.

Even if he comfortingly accompanied Zhang Yuer, with a big-bellied mother-in-law next to him, he slept very carefully and couldn't let go!

Li Chengcheng was silent, but his body shrunk, not as casual and comfortable as just now.

I don't know how long it took, in the warm arms of the emperor, listening to the emperor's even snort, Li Chengcheng relaxed, and adjusted his sleeping position very slightly and carefully.

…………………

The Spring Festival is the most solemn festival in Chinese tradition, family reunion, farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, but whenever there is time, will want to go home for the New Year.

And Tang Mo, the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, rushed to Beijing a year ago and gave up the joy of reuniting with his family for the New Year. Without him, he is busy for the future of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

The Maritime Chamber of Commerce and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce have all been favored by the Holy Lord, with the leadership of the president who has been given the title of civil lord, and has the power to directly submit letters, and they are not easy to be oppressed in terms of official face.

As for the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, although the Jiangnan businessmen recruited are not necessarily worse than others in terms of wealth, the embarrassment of no one in the DPRK is like a motherless child.

Judging from the attitude and impression of the imperial court, or the saints, towards the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan in the past year, it is obviously difficult to be optimistic.

By smelling incense and teaching rebellion, a group of landlords and gentry who were in arrears of paying taxes were exiled from their homes, and their heads were not cut off; The big hat of inciting civil unrest and plotting against the people was pressed down, and the students and gentry were purged again.

I'm afraid that the next one is Jiangnan businessmen, and there are not a few people who have such thoughts and speculations.

As for the crimes, whether tax evasion or tax evasion counts, whether bribery of officials, entering and leaving the public gate counts, and whether greed for profit and forgetting righteousness and swallowing small people's fat paste count......

What's more, the gentry and the merchants, the bureaucrats and the businessmen, are intertwined and involved, and there is no clear boundary for a long time.

Everyone knows that "Wu Zhongjin's gentlemen are mostly anxious about the cultivation of goods, if the Beijing official store, Liuguo opened a debt code, and sold salt and alcohol, and his skills were doubled to Qi Min."

It is no secret that the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, who are both rich in eunuchs and also operate in the city, swallow the fat of the small people, and do everything possible to make the small people weak and accumulate huge wealth.

Even if they didn't specifically attack the merchants, the imperial court could beat the rabbits with grass and involve some merchants by attacking the gentry.

No businessman, no treachery, no business, was regarded as a code of conduct by many businessmen, but was crushed by the emperor's "righteous businessman", which became a despised bad deed, and perhaps a crime to be cracked down on in the future.

A keen sense of smell is Shang Jia's specialty, and when he realizes that the situation is not right, and Banzai has already stared at them to sharpen his knife, self-redemption and self-salvation have become the only option.

If the money is gone, you can make it again, your head is gone, your home is raided, your relatives and family members are exiled, and then there is no chance to turn over.

And Tang Mo, who was quite upright, was elected by the businessmen.

At the same time, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce was established, hoping to win the Shengshang and the imperial court's change in their views. If you want money to give money, you will admit it if you want to be punished, let's change it if it's wrong, at least give it a chance to atone for it!

After several flatteries, after finally launching the silver dollar in the imperial court, the court's courteous performance was seen by Banzai. And Tang Mo and others, who were apprehensive, finally ushered in a turning point.

A few years ago, Zheng Zhilong came to meet several leading figures of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, although it was a small official position, but the news brought made Tang Mo and others treat him as guests.

Although Shengshang noticed the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, he did not have clear instructions or put forward clear requirements, but only asked the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce to formulate a charter, the main content of which was how to supervise the illegal behavior of the members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Judging from this condition, the saint is really dissatisfied with the tax evasion of the merchants. In addition to the normal government supervision and investigation, the chamber of commerce also has such responsibilities, self-inspection, self-discipline, self-examination and self-vigilance.

Zheng Zhilong also revealed a little bit of the holy idea, that is, to reform the current tax payment methods and tax amounts of "businessmen" and "businessmen".

Although the specific plan is still being decided, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce can also put forward its own ideas and suggestions.
