Chapter 95: Sooner or Sooner, Late

The 5,000 recruits recruited by Mangui, Wang Li was angry when he saw it!

It's just that the weapons are not equipped, and they are not even equipped with armor!

More than half of the soldiers are still ragged people!

The Eight Banners soldiers were in battle under the city, and these new soldiers were all afraid, and the "arrogance" of the scolding last night was gone!

One by one, they hid behind the battlements, and they didn't dare to show their heads!

Hell if such an army can fight!

But fortunately, the five hundred brocade guards with muskets in their hands stood at the head of the city calmly!

At the gate of the city, Cao Wenzhao's iron cavalry is ready to go out of the city at any time!

If it weren't for these two troops to stabilize the morale of the army, the Datong army of Mangui would have collapsed long ago!

In this situation, Man Gui gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do!

If you want to blame, you can only blame that Zhu Youzhen!

He only gave 10,000 taels of silver, what can Man Gui do?

To be able to recruit 5,000 new troops, to be able to distribute some weapons, and to ensure the supply of military rations for two months is already very rebellious!

However, without this force, the Eight Banners could cross the Great Wall at any time and threaten Datong at any time!

Wang Li wanted to help him, but he couldn't do anything!

Because, Man Gui was directly assigned by Zhu Youzhen!

He took 10,000 taels of silver from Zhu Youzhen, and while guarding the border of Datong, he also had to keep an eye on Wang Li!

In the affairs of the army, he did not obey Wang Li's orders, but obeyed the orders of the governor of Shanxi, the military department or Zhu Youzhen!

At this moment, all the courtiers are staring at Shaanxi and Shanxi!

Because, Wang Li went to Shanxi for disaster relief, but Zhu Youzhen did not allocate a tael of silver!

All the disaster relief funds come from part of the tariffs of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces!

Even if it is to purchase a batch of disaster relief food, Wang Li must make the account leaky, and dare not show the slightest bit of sloppiness!

Even if it is a few dozen taels of silver "from unknown sources", it will be caught by someone and become direct evidence of corruption!

Wang Li really wants to give Man Gui a sum of silver, and he really wants to build an elite infantry to guard his northern gate!

However, he really didn't dare!

And Cao Wenzhao is very different from Man Gui!

This "Taiyuan General Army" was seconded, and all his actions had to be consulted by Wang Li in advance;

In the affairs of the army, he will not skip the level and report to the governor of Shanxi, the military department or Zhu Youzhen;

The most important thing is that all the expenses of Cao Wenzhao's troops are "accounted for" by the West Factory;

Even if the scale is expanded to 350,000, Wang Li can cover up the clues;

For example, the source of horses, part of which was exchanged with the Mongols for coal mining, and part of which was robbed, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks?

For example, the armor and armor of the rider and the war horse were mined by themselves and made of cast iron;

The "wages" of the people for casting iron and digging coal were part of the disaster relief funds;

The troops' needs for food and grass are also included in the expenses of the West Factory.

Therefore, for the expansion of the new cavalry, as long as the account is done perfectly enough, no one can catch the handle!

"Factory Father!"

Song Zhe's reminder interrupted Wang Li's thoughts.

Outside the city, the 3,000 foot soldiers of the Eight Banners have been lined up!

Several generals wearing red tasseled crowns are lecturing!

It looks like it is violent, but Wang Li is not afraid!

Because, except for dozens of simple long ladders, the Eight Banners soldiers have no other siege equipment!

And no cannons!

As long as the defenders of the city do not mess up, even if tens of thousands of enemy soldiers come, it will be difficult to surpass the one-foot-and-five-foot city wall!

The five hundred musketeers of the Jinyi Guard were ready to attack, and another five hundred archers and broadsword soldiers were ready to fight, and Wang Li was indeed not afraid!

Whoosh...... Whoosh......

With the efforts of dozens of brocade guards, the two cannons were finally pushed to the city!

"Factory father, there are only seven medicine packs and twenty projectiles left!"

"It doesn't matter! As soon as the cannon sounded, the gold was ten thousand taels...... Belch...... No, as long as the cannon goes off, the enemy will be broken!

They came from afar, they don't know how many cannons we have, they don't know how many defenders we have, and they don't dare to attack the city with their lives!

Who's that, has he learned to fire a cannon? ”

"Factory father, in fact, it's very simple to fire a gun! The subordinates have long learned, but ...... Haven't really let go of ......"

"Very good! Aim for me with the one who wears the red tassel crown! Kill one, and reward 10,000 taels of silver! ”

"Factory man, it's already aimed!"

"So fast?"

Wang Li looked at the cannon, and then at the enemy soldiers under the city, and couldn't believe it: "Now that it's loaded, what are you waiting for?"

While they are talking, hurry up and fire the cannon! ”

The sound fell, the lead snorted, and green smoke rose everywhere.

The smell of sulfur burning, Wang Li really likes it!

Hey?

There was a guy with a red tasseled crown on his head, and he actually rode a fast horse!

Waving his hand at the city, shouting and screaming!

This voice doesn't look like a curse!

Could it be that this man wants to negotiate?

This one...... Negotiations, I'm definitely welcome!

My bottom line is 500 good horses, and you shouldn't refuse to drop!

By the way, that Hai Lanzhu ...... Why haven't you brought it yet?

Without a meat ticket, what do I exchange for a war horse?

I'll go!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The city is deafening!

Two projectiles, and then they exploded!

Where the enemy soldiers are dense, people turn on their backs!

"I'll go! Shot missed! ”

"Muzzle low, low, reload! Fast! ”

"Ten thousand taels, quick! Reload! ”

A few gunners were so excited that their faces were red, and they were rushing to reload!

At this point, Wang Li didn't bother to stop it!

The guy who wanted to negotiate was already scared away by the sound of cannons!

Those foot soldiers are rushing up in a hula-la-la!

"Musket ready! Kill these turtle grandsons for me! ”

As he spoke, Wang Li grabbed a wooden shield.

But thinking of the iron armor he was over, he put down the wooden shield again.

This outfit is almost armed to the teeth!

Even if you are shot as a hedgehog, you don't have to worry about your life!

Besides, the enemy is still far away!

Their muskets and bows and arrows can't shoot here!

The Guanning Iron Horse at the gate of the city can be killed outside the city at any time!

In the face of foot soldiers, aren't they chopping melons and vegetables?

So, there's nothing to be afraid of!

……

The situation on the battlefield is exactly the same as Wang Li expected!

Half an hour of engagement, not a single enemy soldier climbed the city wall!

Cao Wenzhao's iron cavalry, there is no need to kill!

Jiannu left more than 200 corpses behind and retreated in panic!

The Jinyi guards in the city have only a few minor injuries!

The Jurchen is less than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible?

Who said that?

The Jurchens are nothing more than that!

Wang Li snorted coldly and left disdainfully.

"Factory father, this woman should be Hai Lanzhu!"

Should?

What do you mean by should?

Wang Li was noncommittal, looking at the woman in front of him.

I'll go!

This person is really different from ordinary women!

The wind and sand in the north are so big, and her skin is even better than that of Han women in the south!

The appearance is even better than that night of Mang Gurtai's side Fujin!

There is no mare's milk smell on her body!

Judging by her dress and demeanor, she should be a Mongolian noble woman!

If...... It should be nice to leave her to warm her bed!

Well, that's all!

Wait until Jiannu sends an envoy and the two sides negotiate the conditions, and then let her go back!

Anyway, I'm not a decent gentleman!

Anyway, Mongolian women don't have the concept of chastity of Han women, so it won't be bad!

Anyway, there are few people in the army who can understand Mongolian and will not show their stuffing!

Anyway, Lao Tzu is wearing iron armor, not eunuch costumes!

Even if she goes back to complain, she can find a guy to carry the black pot, and no one will doubt herself!

Last time, it was Wu Sangui who carried the black pot, this time...... Maybe, it's Hong Chengchou!

That's not right, Hong Chengchou is in Yansui!

No matter, someone is carrying it anyway!

If you are lucky, maybe Huang Taiji can help you raise your son!

Hey!

"Uh...... Is this person really Hai Lanzhu? Are you sure? ”

"Factory father, we don't know much Mongolian, it should be!"

"That's right...... Stand down! This person will be interrogated by the factory in person! ”

"Oh, warm the bed, warm the bed!

Factory, you don't know Mongolian! What kind of question? ”

"Factory father, the other few are not bad! Do you want to have them all delivered to you? ”

"No need! Spare their lives, don't kill them! What if the person inside is Hai Lanzhu? ”

"Understood, understood......"

A few brocade guards smiled all over their faces, closed the door, and left happily.

In this era, both courtiers and ordinary people were afraid of Jinyiwei.

However, although Jinyiwei is arrogant and domineering, because of the deterrence of "Nanzhen Fusi", no one dares to rob the people's daughters!

Moreover, in the tick bar of this era, there are a lot of women who sell themselves, and there is no need to rob the people's daughters!

However, the lack of women in the army is different!

The captured slaves of the enemy country, because they were not the people of the Ming Dynasty, all became the targets of the soldiers!

Generally speaking, after the superior commander is selected, the rest is assigned by the non-commissioned officers.

This is also a reward and encouragement for the soldiers.

Of course, if the superior commander didn't choose, or didn't speak, the people below still didn't dare to move!

"Gollum ......"

Wang Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and was about to enjoy his rights when someone knocked on the door!

"Factory Father, Azig sent a messenger to deliver a letter!"

Depend on!

What letter to send?

If you don't come early, you can't come late, but it's time to come!

Wang Li scolded, opened the door and accepted the letter.

I'll go!

Who can write Chinese characters so ugly?

So many typos, is there a mistake!

I'll go!

Lao Tzu has a meat ticket in his hand!

This guy didn't mention any conditions, and he dared to threaten me?

Is there such a negotiation?

Don't want to live anymore?

Tiger doesn't wield, when I'm hello kitty?

"Someone! Escort a few women to the city!

Let Azigna recognize it!

As long as Hai Lanzhu is sure that among these people, I think he still dares to be arrogant! ”

……

The Eight Banners soldiers outside the city were lined up again, and when they saw several women in the city, they came to the city on a fast horse.

Seeing the other party's anxious appearance, Wang Li was almost sure that Hai Lanzhu was here!

However, a few soldiers who knew Mongolian talked to each other for a long time, and no one understood each other's words!

I'll go!

I heard that the Mongols are descendants of the Huns!

Azi is a Jurchen, it should be Manchu!

It's weird to understand!

However, it's still not right!

The Jianzhou Jurchens are not far from the Horqin Department, and their language should be universal!

Otherwise, how could Huang Taiji, a Jurchen, understand the words of that Bo and Tai?

I'll go!

Do you guys have a for this?

If they can write letters in Chinese, they should be able to understand Chinese!

Someone, pen and paper are waiting!

……

Halfway through the letter, Wang Li still felt that something was wrong!

In the Jiannu Army, the person who can write Chinese characters is terribly poor in Chinese!

Can he understand his blackmail letter?

If you misunderstand what you mean, you'll have to waste your time!

If they can't understand it at all, they will have to waste more time sending the letter back to Shenyang!

So, after writing the letter, Wang Li drew another painting.

On the left side is a woman, and on the right is a war horse, indicating that the number is 2,000.

Then, between the horse and the woman, a reciprocating arrow was drawn.

So, they should be able to understand, right?

If you can't even understand the word "two thousand", then what can you do?

That's it!

If you can't read it, you can't understand it!

With meat tickets in hand, I'm not afraid that they won't be able to read it!
