After Magui defeated Litu here, he also continued to advance westward, recovering many old guards abandoned by the Hongzhi Dynasty in Hetao along the way.

Because of this, the rabbit was chased very embarrassed, and when he fled to a grassland near the water to rest, he couldn't help but say to Taijizhuang very sadly:

"I thought that this time Cao Zideng and Bibai Fengqing Wang raised troops was an opportunity to revive my Great Yuan, but who knew that we were defeated first!"

"Although the Ming army is cunning, it is also related to the disunity of our Yuan people, if the Tumut Department has the same heart as us, he Magui will not be able to enter the front set at all, let alone pursue here."

Zhuang Bald Lai followed up at this time.

Li Rabbit smiled bitterly and said, "Tumut is still not united in the inside, let alone the entire Great Yuan?" ”

As he spoke, he stood up, looked at the increasingly lush meadows in the south and the wheat waves fluttering in the wind today, and said:

"Now that I think about it, it's not wrong for his Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun to implement the new ceremony, if they Han people are also like our Yuan people, they just want to enslave their clansmen, and they would rather let each other fall within for their own selfishness, it is impossible to have such a national strength that can be raised several times without poor country!"

"Judging from the fact that 70,000 people are not afraid of death this time, I don't know how high the reward and pension silver are behind this."

"After Zhu Yijun, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, insisted on restructuring and even insisting on the implementation of the new ceremony, the Ming army was not only weaker than before the Han people, but it was stronger than before."

The rabbit then said again.

Zhuang bald, his head.

In the Hetao area, there are not only large grasslands for grazing, but also a large number of fertile fields, so it is a place where animal husbandry and farming areas are combined.

After occupying this place, the Mongol tribes not only developed animal husbandry, but also engaged in agriculture, and also recruited many Han Chinese to settle here.

This type of reclamation area is called Bansheng by the Mongols.

So, the rabbit can now see some wheat fields.

"Ming Army!"

"The Ming army is here!"

And in Zhuli Rabbit sighed at the Ming army, the cavalry around Zhili Rabbit panicked and shouted non-stop.

When he looked back, he saw that thousands of cavalry troops were chasing along the river, and they had begun to accelerate from both wings, and they were so panicked that they were busy on their horses.

Zhuang Bald Lai was also busy getting on the horse at this time, and scolded: "Damn it! How can these Ming troops not go away, and they still chase us again! ”

"This shows that its main force is also continuing to advance westward, and what people want is the entire Hetao, not just to defeat us! Zhuang Bald, you take 300 horsemen to stop them, otherwise we won't be able to escape! ”

At this time, the rabbit turned the horse's head and said to Zhuang Bald.

Zhuang Bald did not hesitate, and after agreeing "yes", he began to turn the horse's head in the opposite direction of the rabbit.

"Remember! If you evacuate, don't retreat along the river anymore, these Ming troops are chasing along the river. ”

The rabbit then instructed again.

Zhuang Bald said: "If you don't follow the river, how can people and animals use water?" ”

"You haven't seen it yet, the cunning Ming army is already very clear about the distribution of the rivers here, do you want to die of thirst, or do you want to be captured by the Ming army and humiliated to death?"

As he spoke, he whipped the horse's belly and left.

"I see!"

Zhuang Bald Lai also replied, and then took the initiative to meet the chasing Ming army with three hundred cavalry.

After a charge, Zhuang Bald Lai only had a hundred or so horses left.

But at this moment, another Ming cavalry appeared behind, and they all dismounted, surrounded him and his cavalry in the middle, and took down the wind-chasing big guns used on the horse, and aimed them at Zhuang Balai and his cavalry in a row.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Bald Lai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then had to speed up and rush over, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Long live the golden family blessed by the Immortal Heaven!" ”

Bang bang!

Not long after Zhuang Bald finished shouting, rows of lead bullets shot out of the white smoke, and punched several big holes in his body on the spot.

Zhuang Bald Lai fell off his horse, and began to vomit blood in his mouth, and then unwillingly saw a row of Ming soldiers stepping on war horses and riding towards him.

Soon.

After the iron hooves of the cavalry of the Yiming Army appeared in his field of vision, he closed his eyes and knew that his cavalry of the Great Yuan could no longer stand up.

Capital.

Seeing that October is approaching, the yellow flowers of the Forbidden City are in full bloom, and the scene of cold smoke locking the city is already common at dawn.

Zhu Yijun also delayed the time of sticking incense when he got up in the morning, and at the same time shortened the lunch break, so he did not let the government affairs not be handled in time.

Because the military in the northwest is in full swing, the military in the southwest has not yet ended, and Luzon is still developing on a large scale, he does not dare to be idle, but has to pay serious attention to national affairs many times.

"Those who are afraid of China are also firearms!"

"Treat the northern captives, firearms must always be improved, not only the infantry army, but also the horse army must make greater progress in firearms in cavalry warfare, therefore, they will be made as a temple of self-made firearms, since the cavalry can better kill the enemy with firearms on horses, it will undoubtedly be of great help to the future expansion and development of the dynasty in the north, I hope that in the future, my Ming cavalry can sweep the entire grassland in the northern region, relying on a pot of wine and a handful of guns, and even bring the Han wind to the east of the distant Ural Mountains!"

Zhu Yijun even devoted more energy to the research and development of science and technology in his spare time.

After all, this is the primary productive force.

Whether it is internal repair or external expansion, with the most advanced technology, many problems can be solved in a better way.

Because any contradiction is essentially a struggle of interests, if we use technology to make the cake bigger, so that even the people with the least share can get more than before, the contradiction will naturally be resolved.

In addition, if science and technology develop to the point where the lethality of hot weapons is stronger than that of cold weapons, the balance of war will undoubtedly favor the side with a higher level of civilization, stronger mobilization ability, and greater strategic depth.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun attaches great importance to the research and development of new firearms.

He knew that as long as the firearms of the Ming Dynasty entered a certain level, the nomadic people could only do some singing and dancing performances, and the soldiers leading the troops could not think that they could win the world by relying on their own intelligence and bravery, because as long as he did not get the support of the whole country and did not have enough mobilization capacity, it would be impossible for him to obtain ammunition replenishment on a large scale, so that no matter how good he was, he would eventually be unable to defeat the new army that had just undergone short training.

On this day, after the Jiangzuo Temple made its own fire, that is, the flint fire, Zhu Yijun specially came to the Jiangzuo Temple, personally tested a self-made fire in the Jiangzuo Temple, and then talked to Zhao Shizhen of the Jiangzuo Temple about his prospects for the research and development of firearms.

Then, Zhu Yijun picked up the self-generated fire gun made by Daming that Zhao Shizhen had pre-loaded for him with gunpowder again, and aimed at the crosshair, and fired another shot at the target in front of him.

With a strong recoil force slamming backwards, a puff of white smoke appeared at this moment, and the target in front of it appeared again with a large hole.

Zhu Yijun smiled at this, handed the fire gun to Zhao Shizhen, and said: "Do a good job of keeping it confidential, unless necessary, try not to let the craftsmen below know the whole process of making this gun." ”

"The minister understands!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, from using graphite crucibles and wicker to fry iron to make new iron, to making new iron pipes, and then to the manufacture of key materials such as fire sickles and fire sickle springs, even if someone wants to be familiar with the whole process, it is difficult, after all, interlacing is like separating mountains, and this cannot be done by one person."

Zhao Shizhen said from the side.

"I know that in the field of natural science, arithmetic is the foundation, and King Zheng and Shuai Jiamo have already made good achievements in this area, and they have made great contributions to the new calculus;"

"Physics, chemistry and biology are very important directions, and now Qi Xingguo and Wan Wei are doing well in physics, one has collected electricity and began to discover some laws of electricity, and the other and Matteo Ricci have summarized the laws of motion and natural phenomena very well, and also clarified how to experiment;"

"The learning of Galileo in the West has also been carefully studied by them, and I have even decreed that the ocean-going fleet going to Europa will summon Galileo to the emperor to further promote the progress of this kind of learning;"

"Needless to say, in terms of biology, more and more people have begun to accept the "Theory of Heavenly Evolution" printed by the court, and in terms of genetics, King Zhou has begun to try to hybridize peas in his palace."

"It is precisely because of all kinds of learning, the Ming Dynasty has made great progress, the use of practical learning to summarize the objective laws of existence, in all kinds of learning to establish a basic system, and there are many technological advances today, a person wants to really thoroughly grasp some of the technical secrets related to the security of the country, you have to be proficient in all kinds of learning, this kind of genius is too few, so it is difficult for a person to know all the skills of making a self-made fire."

"But don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, in some key skills, it is better to be cautious, after all, it is not without its own talents, maybe we leak a little, people can make great progress, and then endanger the long-term peace and stability of the society."

Zhu Yijun continued to speak at this time.

Zhao Shizhen said yes, and then said: "Your Majesty, Shengming, please remember." ”

Then, Zhu Yijun asked Zhao Shizhen again: "How is the steam engine built by Qing and Qi Qing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is still improving, and it can only be used for pumping water at the moment, but the atmospheric pressure experiment and the summary of the atmospheric law of the Ten Thousand Horses have given the ministers inspiration, and the ministers are trying to avoid heat loss and then cause the problem of insufficient power, but this also requires us to have a deeper understanding of temperature changes, in nature, the gas will condense when it is cold, and then lose the power floating in the air, how to avoid the cylinder because of the cold and affect the power, is the problem that the ministers are trying to solve."

Zhao Shizhen replied.

Zhu Yijun also knew very little about what steam engine he had in his previous life, after all, the era he lived in was already the computer age, and the power was already the power provided by electricity and magnetism, so he didn't know much about the steam engine yet, so he only encouraged Zhao Shizhen and then returned to Xiyuan.

"How's the war going in the Loop?"

After Zhu Yijun returned to Xiyuan, he came to serve the imperial secretary and asked about Shen Shixing and Qi Jiguang and other ruling ministers.

Qi Jiguang replied: "According to the report of the Marquis of Tieling, Huoluo Chibu has appeared along Helan Mountain to the south, to help the rebels, and there is a great possibility of fighting with the troops and horses he leads!" ”

"Then fight!"

Zhu Yijun immediately said a word, and said: "These Hulu should also be killed fiercely, lest they really think that the Han people only know how to farm and weave cloth and don't know how to kill people and drink blood!" ”

Qi Jiguang said yes.

At this time, Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and said: "Master Shen, I remember that you promised me that you would recover the Hetao during your tenure, and I know that you have long seen that the implementation of the courtesy that the people of your country are more valuable than the foreign people, you must first make the Hetao a place where there are many captives and few Han people are in chaos, and you must first recover the Hetao so that the Tatar tribes can control it, so I deliberately take the recovery of the Hetao as the goal." ”

"And now, I hope that Qing will be clear about his goals and not give up easily."

"It is not difficult to recover the Hetao itself, the difficulty is that some people don't want him to recover it, and Qing should be cautious, but Qing should rest assured that I will not kill Qing because the Hetao is difficult to recover, I will only kill those who dare to say that the land of their ancestors can be abandoned."

"I have recently looked at history, and there is a move by Sima Guang's generation to abandon the land, which is really not the act of sages and loyal ministers, and is not worthy of entering the Temple of Literature, so I issued an order to withdraw Sima Guang from the Temple of Literature!"

Zhu Yijun said suddenly.

As soon as Zhu Yijun said this, many ministers present were shocked, but no one said anything, after all, if anyone opposed the removal of Sima Guang at this time, the emperor would definitely ask him if he wanted to advocate abandoning the Hetao.

At this time, Shen Shixing also immediately professed to obey the order.

It stands to reason that Sima Guang, an official of the Song Dynasty, has little to do with the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yijun suddenly mentioned this is naturally to knock on some of today's conservative factions, and to express his attitude to the people of the world, don't want to prevent the recovery of the Hetao, his meaning as the emperor is already very clear, the Hetao must be recovered, and it is to take advantage of this rebellion to recover the Hetao.

"The traitorous party didn't take our Fengtianjing disaster seriously, and even felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to recover the Hetao and whitewash their merits to the country!"

"It's so deceitful!"

Bibai, who was playing chess with Cao Zideng, directly grabbed the cloud after seeing Zhu Yijun's will, threw it to the ground, and when the sunspot splashed, he said a few words, and then looked at Cao Zideng and said:

"You say, why did this Zhu Yijun do this, loot so much money inside and outside, store it in the inner treasury Taicang, and then give him the Zhu family a few more dynasties of national luck?"

"Why do you have to treat the lowly Han people as human beings, and in order for them to live with dignity, they do not hesitate to spend a lot of national funds to come to the east and the west to fight!"

"This is something that even contemptible people can't figure out, and sometimes they wonder if he is from the Zhu family."

"It can only be said that he, Zhu Yijun, was completely bewitched by the traitorous party, ignoring the foundation of the ancestral temple, and only allowing the traitorous party to destroy the order of the noble and the lowly."

Cao Zideng also replied with a wry smile.

Bibai followed and said: "Sometimes I think about it, I worship this attached general more than he Zhu Yijun takes the foundation of the Zhu family's temple to heart, and even now when he starts the army, he still recognizes him as the king of the Zhu family in Fengyang first, and he will kneel down when he sees King Qing, and he dare not be disrespectful." ”

"Who isn't!"

"Sometimes I feel that if we are loyal, we are really more loyal to the Zhu family's Zongmiao Sheji."

Cao Zideng followed.

Bi Bai nodded, feeling that he was noble and great, and said:

"If the Ming Taizu is alive, I will also feel that I am more loyal than those traitors, to be honest, if it weren't for the traitorous party's chaotic government, I really didn't plan to raise troops, because although I am a general, I have long been determined to be a loyal minister of the Ming Zhu family!"

"It's just that now the imperial court has messed up the order of the noble and the lowly, and if it wants to mess up the world, it has to raise troops and make it difficult!"
