Chapter 20: The Iron Cavalry of the Jingwei

"The minister has a suitable candidate, and the minister hopes to let his godson Wang Tianci take charge of the Ming fleet!"

Wang Ju stepped forward and said.

"Godson?"

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Zhu Cihong's eyes.

I just changed his name to Ju, I hope he will follow Chen Ju, and he will be in a hurry to let his godson take the throne so soon?

Is this a preparation for gangs?

"The minister heard that Juxian does not avoid relatives, and the minister's godson Wang Tianci is indeed very capable, so he recommended him, not because he was a godson!"

Just when Zhu Cihong was suspicious, Wang Ju hurriedly explained.

"Is it really so capable?"

Zhu Cihong asked sharply.

"This person is proficient in ten foreign languages, and he is a eunuch, and he has been trading overseas with his ministers for a long time, he is not only capable but also experienced, and the ministers feel that there is no more suitable person than him."

The eunuch Wang Ju said.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

"In that case, then I will see, if there is really such a ability as you said, I will appoint him as the head of the Ming fleet."

Zhu Cihong said to Wang Ju.

"Spread the king's godsend!"

Zhu Cihong immediately instructed the eunuch on the side.

Soon after, several eunuchs brought Wang Tianci to the Fengtian Temple.

"The minister Wang Tianci has seen the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

Wang Tianci immediately bowed with both hands.

"Listen to your godfather say that you can speak ten Chinese!"

Zhu Cihong slowly got down from the dragon chair, walked in front of Wang Tianci and asked.

"Your Majesty! What my godfather said is good, the minister does know ten Chinese! ”

Wang Tianci replied cautiously.

“CanyouspeakEnglish?”

Zhu Cihong said wildly on the spot.

The emperor's act of speaking English really shocked all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The officials never expected that Zhu Cihong could speak English.

“Yes,Ican!”

At this moment, Wang Tianci immediately blurted out.

"In addition to English, the minister also speaks nine Chinese languages such as Japanese, Dutch, and Portuguese!"

Wang Tianci said eloquently.

"Looks like you've got two hits, okay then! I will order you to be the head of the Ming fleet, and the Ming merchant ships will be handed over to you. ”

Zhu Cihong had high hopes for Wang Tianci.

"Emperor Xie reused, the ministers must do their best to sell the Ming goods overseas, exchange more gold and silver, and increase the income of the Ming treasury!"

Wang Tianci immediately thanked him.

In the blink of an eye, he came to the imperial study, and Zhu Cihong called Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, over.

"Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, see the emperor!"

Tang King Zhu Yujian saluted.

"Now that Haimao has brought back 10 million taels of silver, I am ready to take out 2 million taels from it! Build a modern elite cavalry with a quota of 30,000 people, and I want to put this 30,000 cavalry under your command! ”

Zhu Cihong said to Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang.

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely unacceptable! The minister is a vassal king, not the elite of the court! ”

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian said.

"I believe in you!"

Zhu Cihong only said three words.

I believe in you!

"The minister must live up to the emperor's trust! He will repay him with death, and return the body of the horse leather! ”

Tang King Zhu Yujian was immediately moved and sobbed, kneeling on the ground and saying.

Soon after.

Zhu Cihong bought 20,000 war horses from the south, and sent people to buy 10,000 war horses from the black market in the north.

When Dolgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, heard the news, he was furious and said: "Whoever sells horses in the south will be killed!" ”

For a time, a large number of black market merchants in the north were killed.

Some Qing soldiers who sold military horses were also killed.

More than 10,000 people have been implicated in the death of the North in this incident.

Another month passed.

The 30,000-strong modern cavalry, after being equipped with bird guns and goose feather knives, rose rapidly in combat effectiveness.

Martial arts arena in Nanjing.

Zhu Cihong personally came to the martial arts arena to inspect the training of this cavalry.

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian accompanied him.

"Attack!"

A general of 100 cavalry commanded 100 cavalry to attack 200 scarecrows 100 meters away.

"Touching ....."

One hundred cavalrymen took out their bird guns and aimed at the three hundred scarecrows and fired a burst of fire.

A hundred scarecrows were shot to the ground.

"Kill!"

Hundreds of cavalrymen carried the bird on their backs, pulled out the goose feather knife at their waists and quickly killed the scarecrow.

"Bump..."

One by one, the scarecrows were cut down to the ground.

In just a few moments, all two hundred scarecrows fell.

In an instant, more than a dozen wagons loaded with cannons were pulled over.

"Emperor Qiqi, this is called a car cannon! It is the invention of this king, the cannon is loaded on the car, and the cart is pulled by four war horses, and the car is equipped with three gunners, and the cannon can be moved to fire! ”

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian said.

"Peng...."

With a loud bang, more than a dozen gun wagons opened fire as they moved.

The 150 scarecrows not far away were all blown down in an instant.

"As long as you train for a little more time, with such elite soldiers, why can't you go north to recover the Central Plains, return to the old capital, and drive out the Tartars!"

Zhu Cihong looked at the 30,000 cavalry in front of him who were so brave and good at fighting, and sighed with emotion.

"Your Majesty! This cavalry does not have a name yet, so I beg the emperor to give it a name! ”

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian rubbed his hands and bowed his head and said.

"This cavalry was trained in Nanjing, I expect it to be able to defend the country, so I call it the Jingwei Cavalry, you must build the Jingwei Iron Cavalry into a cavalry that does not fall below the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the Eight Banners Elite Cavalry and the Guanning Iron Cavalry will rely on it in the future!"

Zhu Cihong had high hopes for the Jingwei Iron Cavalry.

"Thank you for the name! The minister will definitely build Jingwei Tie Qi Bin into a cavalry elite that is unparalleled in the world! Let the Tartars in the north never dare to invade my Ming Dynasty in the south again! This king wants to personally lead this iron cavalry back to Bei [Beijing]! ”

Tang King Zhu Yujian swore and said.

"Good! With the words of King Tang! The revival of the Ming Dynasty is hopeful! ”

Zhu Cihong said loudly.

"Under the leadership of the emperor and the prince, the Ming Dynasty will do something that surpasses the Yongle Emperor and the Hongwu Emperor! The emperor is sage, the prince is wise! ”

The celebrant on the side of the eunuch Wang Ju patted the horse.

"Your Majesty! Big things are wrong! The front-line brocade guards are coming! Azig and Duoduo joined forces, raised 300,000 troops, and went south again! ”

The commander of the Jinyi guard made Luo Yangxing come to pay his respects in a hurry.

"What!"

Everyone present was shocked.

"It's a pity! What a pity! If you give me three months, this king will definitely be able to build this Jingwei Iron Cavalry into a cavalry like no other in the world. ”

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian sighed with regret.

"I'm afraid I can't wait for three months now, the situation is critical, let's go into actual combat immediately!"

Zhu Cihong said to Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang.

"I ordered you to immediately lead 30,000 people to the north with me, this battle is related to whether the southeast of the Ming Dynasty can be defended! I must go in person, if I lose the southeast, I should kill myself, if I win, let us eat raw Hulu meat together, and laugh and drink the blood of the Jurchen! ”

Zhu Cihong said impassionedly.

"Good! I would like to fight Nathor with Your Majesty, Azig! A battle of life and death, it's up to this time! ”

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian said.
