Chapter 366: May I Protect You Forever in This Life
"Yu Tong, I know that you are the most beautiful woman in the world, and I also know that you are my destined favorite, I hope that in this life I can always protect you, love you, love you, marry me, okay?"
Chu Fan thought that only modern people liked to join in the fun, but he didn't expect that ancient people liked to play harmony.
"Marry him, marry him, marry him!"
Endlessly, Zhang Yutong was moved to tears, because she had been waiting for this day for a long time.
The next day, Boss Chu Fan's flower shop and suit shop also opened at the same time.
Soon, Chu Fan's deeds of holding flowers in his hand, kneeling on one knee, and proposing to Zhang Yutong in a short fight spread throughout the city, after all, Zhang Yutong's beauty has long been famous in the city, for women, Zhang Yutong is the goal of life, and Chu Fan's deeds in Pyongyang are also well-known, these two are the stars of Liaodong.
Since then, all the men in the city have proposed marriage, if you don't have flowers, you don't come to the house, there is no sincerity at all, there is no romance at all, you will wear it according to Chu Fan's clothes when you come, otherwise it will be a native old hat. In short, the fashion frontier of this city is Chu Fan and Zhang Yutong, if you don't learn from the two of them, you will not be the brightest boy on this street.
With the big sales of tunics and leather shoes, there are more and more men wearing short fights in the whole city, and Chu Fan no longer has to be embarrassed, after all, he is no longer dressed alone.
Chu Fan, celebrities are playing with goods?
"One, two, one, take a break, stand up!"
"Look to the right, look forward!"
Chu Fan is very dissatisfied with the current discipline of the troops, in his opinion, a qualified team, at least to achieve a neat queue, orders and prohibitions, is because he began to put forward a new training plan from the previous paragraph, don't practice anything to fight and kill, give me a queue first.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom" neat steps made the sound of brushing in unison on the teaching field.
It seems that Zu Dashou's training has been very effective recently, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry Central Army under the direct command of Chu Fan has been trained by Zu Dashou, the deputy commander of the capital, and can skillfully march in unison, and can shout slogans neatly.
This move seems useless, but in fact, it has greatly improved the tacit understanding between the soldiers and the command, and has initially given them a coordinated and unified queue concept, which has laid a good foundation for the next salvo training and formation change training.
Today, Chu Fan put down his business and came to the teaching field, and there was an important thing - test launch.
After nearly half a year of careful research and development, the three-eyed eye gun designed by Chief Designer Chu Fan has finally come out.
This is the latest weapon with iron bullets, manual loading, wire firing, spiral rifling, and three-point aiming, using the latest yellow explosive firing technology, with an effective range of up to 300 meters, and its primer and warhead size are very small, the amount of individual carry-on has been greatly improved, and the most important thing is that the lethal power has a huge qualitative leap.
Today is the day of the test launch.
Chu Fan took the firearm handed over by the old grandson and played with it carefully.
The barrel of this firearm is much longer than in the past, and with the wooden stock, it is 70 cm long, and the three barrels are side by side, which looks strange.
The long barrel has three circling riflings.
One aiming point was erected at the front end of the barrel, and two at the rear end.
Under the barrel is three drawstrings connected to the firing mechanism, which is equipped with the latest product, a spring.
I saw Chu Fan holding the gun in one hand, holding down the unloading buckle with his thumb, and throwing it down, the barrel and the butt were folded, and three card slots were exposed at the bottom of the barrel, Chu Fan took out three iron pointed bullets from the bullet bag on his waist with the other hand and stuck them into the card slot, and then took out three primers from the other bag, and stuck them into the card slot at the end of the butt, and the gun flung upward, and the barrel and the butt were tightly buckled together.
This set of operations took about ten seconds, and it seemed that it was only a little faster than the previous operation of first stuffing gunpowder, then lead, and finally stabbing it, but this time the operation was equipped with three bullets, which was at least four times more efficient than before.
The two brothers, Liu Dali and Liu Erli, followed behind and studied step by step.
Because, in the next step, the two of them will serve as the fire instructors of the whole army and train the soldiers.
Chu Fan knelt on one knee, half-squatted down and said: "This posture is a squatting position to shoot, remember that it is applied to scenes with cover protection, there is a haystack in front or in a trench, you can use this way." โ
Looking at Chu Fan again, the whole person lay on the ground and said: "This posture is a lying position to shoot, and it should be used for ambush or defense scenes without cover. โ
In the end, Chu Fan stood up, his feet were forward and backward, the butt of the rifle was on his shoulder, the gun was held in his left hand, and the firing rope was dragged in his right hand, and he said: "This posture is to shoot in a standing position, and it should be used in the scene of chasing the enemy or shooting immediately." โ
After demonstrating the three postures, he handed the gun to Liu Erli and asked him to operate it.
Liu Erli is very clever, although his posture is slightly different from Chu Fan, but the general meaning is about the same, and Chu Fan taught him the essence again.
The squatting posture mainly sets the gun head on the cover to increase stability, the lying position mainly sets the gun head on the ground to increase stability, and the standing position is generally not used unless charging and pursuing, because the standing posture stability is the worst, and it is necessary to rely on the full strength of the lifting hand to increase the stability of the barrel.
Liu Erli nodded frequently as he listened.
Chu Fan pointed to a straw man about 50 meters away and said, "You, shoot at that straw man." โ
Although Liu Erli used the three-eyed eye gun for the first time, he still knew how to aim at him, only to see him open one eye and close one eye, pull the hair rope, "Peng", the gun went off, but he didn't see the straw man broken.
Chu Fan smiled and said, "Come, I'll teach you." โ
"See clearly, the back two aiming points are called the gap, the front point is called the crosshair, the front of the aim is accurate, if the flat relationship of the back gap is not right, the same is not accurate, you remember, when aiming, it must be to put the crosshair and the gap on the same level, the upper edge of the three points is as flat as possible, to achieve the goal, the crosshair, the gap is completely on a line, which is called a three-point line.
Chu Fan said as he put the firearm on the haystack, used the squat shooting method, and continued: "Then the most important thing is to aim intentionally and shoot unintentionally, what does it mean?" That is, for you to be serious
Aim at the enemy, but never pull the trigger rope violently, but slowly pull the trigger rope while aiming, when you don't know when the gun suddenly goes off, it means that the shot is accurate.
"Peng!"
A big hole exploded in the straw man's chest, and it was accurate.
"Also, you must remember that if you aim at someone, you can aim at the chest, you can shoot your head if you hit high, you can hit your abdomen if you hit low, even if you miss both sides, you can also hurt your arm, if you hit it right, you will definitely die."
Teacher Chu taught very seriously today, and the two brothers of the Liu family also studied very seriously.
Liu Dali and Liu Erli, who were holding the new-style firearms, happily went to practice, as the first batch of soldiers in the army to use new weapons, this pride is self-evident.
"Old grandson, come on!"
Next, Lao Sun Tou and his apprentice Zhang Hai came over and continued to listen to Engineer Chu explain the design ideas of other firearms.
"Report!"
The herald's shout always has its own characteristics, and a long tail must be added to the back of a report, and the longer the tail note, the more urgent and the bigger the matter.
"Report to the chief soldier, the Holy Lord's decree has arrived!"
Of course, Chu Fan has also been promoted, and now Chu Fan is equivalent to the *** of the elite troops in the defense area under Li Rusong's jurisdiction, which is equivalent to the role of Li Rusong in the past, but this arrangement is very intriguing, because Li Rusong used to be the chief soldier, but after Song Yingchang went back, he did not arrange to manage Li Rusong and let him play freely. And now Chu Fan has been promoted, but there is still a capital commander sitting above him, which is equivalent to being in Liaodong, you Chu Fan still said it doesn't count.
Although Emperor Wanli is a well-known lazy emperor, when he was young, he was still very dedicated, especially in the past few years after Zhang Juzheng's death, it can be said that he only worked harder than the teacher. This time he suddenly promoted Chu Fan, in fact, Wanli was considered, not because he played Shu to ask for Zhang Juzheng's life, and helped the emperor borrow a donkey from the slope, and the emperor was grateful to him, but that day when the emperor received the bullet from the inner line of the Xichang placed in the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, he guessed the truth of the matter, Chu Fan played on the one hand, and complained for Zhang Juzheng, and on the other hand, he impeached Zhang Siwei and sneaked back to the capital to kill Zhang Jingxiu during the Ding Wei period, and on the other hand, he also killed Zhang Siwei at the same time and transported it to the house in the capital, which can well grasp the temper of Emperor Wanli. can also grasp the context of the development of things, and can arrange the clues between each event according to the current situation, and finally he dared to personally kill the first assistant of the imperial court, such a brave and resourceful person, it is still necessary to use it, because Wanli is now going to play a big game of chess.
The total number of troops on this expedition was still more than 40,000 people, but the target of the attack was completely different from that of Pyongyang, and the remnants of the secondary army that had fled back from Pyongyang, plus the secondary troops that were originally stationed in Wangjing, Huangju, Pyongsan, Chunghe, Kaesong, and other places, faced nearly 200,000 secondary troops this time, and many people thought that the troops were very insufficient this time. But when they arrived in North Korea, they found out what deterrence was, and the second army was really scared by Chu Fan.
Cannibalism, for the soldiers, is an invisible and huge pressure, which makes the secondary army fall into a deep fear. Therefore, when I heard that the army was coming, I did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately retreated.
Of course, these are small towns, and there is a big city in front of them, Kaesong.
Who can stand this kind of anger, Chu Fan, who didn't fight, was angry, chased out 50 miles directly, and chased Kuroda Nagamasa and beat him up, Kuroda Nagamasa's troops were bent on escaping, and had no intention of fighting, it was the same as hunting again, catching up with one and stabbing one to death, without a single shot, killing thousands of General Kuroda's thousands, and Chu Fan didn't even have a single injured here.
"Newspaperโ"
The herald's shout always has its own characteristics, and a long tail must be added to the back of a report, and the longer the tail note, the more urgent and the bigger the matter. "Report to the chief soldier, the Holy Lord's decree has arrived!"
Everyone present stood up and retreated to both sides, leaving Li Rusong alone to stand in the main hall, kneeling on one knee, waiting for the holy decree.
"In the battle of Pyongyang, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry made outstanding achievements in the war, and raised the prestige of our country, but the Korean Li clan and the Japanese peace negotiations were not reached, and the border passes were still falling, so Li Rusong was ordered to be the commander of Liaoshen and Shenyang, and he was ordered to be the general of the Dingguo country, and Chu Fan was ordered to be the general of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and he was given the rank of Huaiyuan general, and he pacified Wang Jing, and set off immediately, and there must be no mistake."
In other words, Li Rusong was upgraded and became the *** of the entire defense area, and this position was Song Yingchang's before, but the old man couldn't stand Li Rusong's anger and went home to plant corn.
Of course, Chu Fan has also been promoted, and now Chu Fan is equivalent to the *** of the elite troops in the defense area under Li Rusong's jurisdiction, which is equivalent to the role of Li Rusong in the past, but this arrangement is very intriguing, because Li Rusong used to be the chief soldier, but after Song Yingchang went back, he did not arrange to manage Li Rusong and let him play freely.
And now Chu Fan has been promoted, but there is still a capital commander sitting above him, which is equivalent to being in Liaodong, you Chu Fan still said it doesn't count.
Although Emperor Wanli is a well-known lazy emperor, when he was young, he was still very dedicated, especially in the past few years after Zhang Juzheng's death, it can be said that he only worked harder than the teacher.
This time he suddenly promoted Chu Fan, in fact, Wanli was considered, not because he asked for Zhang Juzheng's life and helped the emperor borrow a donkey from the slope.
The emperor was grateful to him, but that day when the emperor received the bullet that was brought back from the inner line of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry planted in Xichang, he guessed the truth of the matter.
On the other hand, Zhang Siwei was killed at the same time and transported to the house in the capital, which can not only grasp the temper of Emperor Wanli well, but also grasp the context of the development of things, and arrange the clues between each event according to the current situation to contact the last point, and he also dared to personally kill the first assistant of the imperial court.
After a night of preparation, the horn of the expedition sounded in the camp in Liaodong.
Liaodong Iron Cavalry and Qi Jiajun, after rest, has recovered the prestige of the past, under the leadership of Li Rusong and Chu Fan, marching eastward, this time and the last time is slightly different, as the capital of Li Rusong, this time only accompanied Chu Fan to Pyongyang, one is the center of the area to facilitate command, of course, but also for Chu Fan to break off, the most important thing is, of course, the Lord of the capital, to have the majesty of the second rank of the imperial court, can not personally go into battle to fight and kill.
The total number of troops on this expedition was still more than 40,000 people, but the target of the attack was completely different from that of Pyongyang, and the remnants of the secondary army that had fled back from Pyongyang, plus the secondary troops that were originally stationed in Wangjing, Huangju, Pyongsan, Chunghe, Kaesong, and other places, faced nearly 200,000 secondary troops this time, and many people thought that the troops were very insufficient this time.
But when they arrived in North Korea, they found out what deterrence was, and the second army was really scared by Chu Fan.
When Chu Fan continued to advance eastward after passing through Pyongyang, he found out, hey! There is no one in this city, and there is no one in that city?
I walked through several small cities in a row, but I couldn't find a single army.
Since the defeat of Konishi Xingchang, the secondary army that escaped basically ran to the east, and the secondary army that ran to various cities was still quite backbone, but it couldn't stand the crowd and mouth, and the three of them became tigers, describing the Ming army, it was simply a demon in the world, he not only knew how to barbecue, he would set off cannons, and he would make popsicles, and the Ming army was blown more and more godly, and in the end, the more and more evil it became, some people said that it was likely that those brothers who were blown up, burned, and frozen to death were taken and eaten by the Ming army.
Cannibalism, for the soldiers, is an invisible and huge pressure, which makes the secondary army fall into a deep fear.
Therefore, when I heard that the army was coming, I did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately retreated. Of course, these are small towns, and there is a big city in front of them, Kaesong.
Garrisoned in Kaesong was a military general named Kuroda Nagamasa, who commanded the third and sixth armies of the second army, and this person was a little bold and did not flee directly like the others.
Chu Fan confidently rushed into Kaesong with the army, ready to fight with the second army, but he didn't want to become a firefighter as soon as he came in and put out fires everywhere. It turned out that when the spy reported to Kuroda Nagamasa that it was Chu Fan who led the team, this benevolent brother didn't say a word, burned the city with a fire, and ran away.
Who can stand this kind of anger, Chu Fan, who didn't fight, was angry, chased out 50 miles directly, and chased Kuroda Nagamasa up and beat him, Kuroda Nagamasa's troops were bent on escaping, and they had no intention of fighting.
It was the Ming army that once again caught up with one and killed one by one, killing thousands of General Kuroda without a single shot, and Chu Fan didn't even have a single injured person on his side.
After this battle, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and then the general of Chu was like entering a no-man's land, and the whole northern part of Korea chased and beat the second army, the purpose of the Ming army was to chase when they saw it, and to fight when they caught up, and the purpose of the second army was to run when they saw it, and disperse when they hit it.
In the more than 20 days since leaving Pyongyang, the entire army has collapsed, and the whole army has retreated to Wangjing in the south to garrison.
Wang Jing, now called Seoul, the capital of North Korea at that time, this time the whole army retreated to Wang Jing, the strength was still very sufficient, after the overall contraction, gathered 100,000 troops, ready to fight the final decisive battle with the Ming army here.
And Chu Fan will also usher in the most severe test.
Although Chu Fan was very confident in his command and new weapons, it was a very difficult thing to fight 50,000 against 100,000, and the second army could not always make the same mistakes, and Pyongyang's great victory did not mean that Wang Jing could also win a complete victory.
And the second army belongs to the category of fighting and not wanting to die, if you are really tough, even if you win, you will be bitten off by him.
Just when both sides were preparing for the battle of Wang Jing, a battle took place in front of Wang Jing.
On this day, Cha Da was ordered by Chu Fan to lead 3,000 cavalry to explore the road in the direction of Wangjing, and it didn't take long for the news to come back: Our army Cha Da Shou encountered the enemy halfway, and was attacked by the column, and won more than 600 ranks.
Since they came out of Pyongyang, there has been such a battle report every day, and everyone is used to listening to it, and it is only 600 heads, which is much less than the number of people who beat Kuroda Nagamasa a few days ago.
