Chapter 277: Rifles and Cavalry
It is not difficult to find out who betrayed the rudder of Beijing City. Soon there was news. Zhang Mingyue learned the news and was very angry.
During lunch, Zhang Mingyue sandwiched a piece of chicken leg for her son and talked to Chen Ji about it. The rudder of Beijing City was destroyed, such a big thing, of course, Chen Ji could not have known about it.
"Xianggong, there are not many people who know the specific stronghold of Beijing's rudder. It's just you and me, and the helmsman and his two henchmen. The rest is Chen Jinnan under Zhu Cihong. Zhang Mingyue's tone was cold, "There can be no traitors within us, then it must be Chen Jinnan's people." ”
In the past, Zhang Mingyue felt that Chen Jinnan was not bad and a talent, but now she has killed Chen Jinnan.
Chen Jinnan learned his skills in Minglun Hall, but took refuge in Zhu Cihong. Now it is even more to give information to the Manchu Tartars, so that Beijing will be destroyed.
Such an anti-bone boy, Zhang Mingyue is eager to kill him and then quickly.
Chen Ji asked, "How much does Chen Jinnan know about our rudder in Beijing City?"
Zhang Mingyue said: "It shouldn't be much. After all, he is not his own person, even if we are in a cooperative relationship, we must be careful. But Chen Jinnan is a very smart person, perhaps he relied on his own ability and speculation to judge the specific location of our rudder. It's just that I didn't expect that Zhu Cihong would be so ruthless this time, which made us suffer heavy losses. ”
One rudder was destroyed, and a martial arts master died. This is no ordinary loss. Even if the White Lotus Sect has a great cause, it will also be heartbroken.
Chen Ji's appearance couldn't see his joy and anger, he ate a few bites of food, and said: "Zhu Cihong, this kid, is indeed a person who does big things. Gradually, he got rid of my influence on him. The price of our goods this time was greatly reduced in order to destroy the economic system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Zhu Cihong's side must have been greatly affected. They used the Manchus to distract us from the rudder in order to distract our energy and fight the Manchus in a big way. ”
Commercial means are not the same as force. In some cases, the destructive power of commerce is greater than that of force.
Chen Ji didn't expect Zhu Cihong to do this, you must know that the two sides are in a state of cooperation. betrayed the rudder of the capital, and Zhu Cihong was equivalent to stabbing the White Lotus Sect in the back.
It is understandable that Zhang Mingyue killed Chen Jinnan.
Chen Ji glanced at Zhang Mingyue and said, "Send a verbal warning to Zhu Cihong and let him not make an example." Otherwise, I wouldn't mind taking it upon myself to teach him a lesson. ”
Zhang Mingyue frowned: "That's it?"
Chen Ji sighed: "Then what do you want? Kill Zhu Cihong? At this time, we have to deal with the Manchu court, and this account can be calculated in the end." ”
Chen Ji was equally angry in his heart, but he definitely couldn't mess up the plan. Because in that case, the efforts and costs paid by the White Lotus Sect would be in vain.
Zhang Mingyue snorted: "It's so cheap for them." ”
....................................
Food in the Manchu army began to run short.
The Manchu army, extremely barbaric, entered the Central Plains, did not worry about eating and drinking, they could start to enjoy and be honest. But once there is no food to eat, their nature begins to explode.
Burning, killing and looting, that's a common thing.
The Manchu army also knew that rabbits did not eat the grass next to their nests. If they want to rob, they will also rob merchants and ordinary people who have something to do with the White Lotus Sect, and they haven't attacked them yet. Of course, the main thing is that the people are poor, and even if they rob it, they can't grab anything.
After the destruction of the merchants, the economic collapse accelerated, and the Manchu army found life even more difficult. There is no choice but to attack the people.
Kangxi had no choice but to start a war against Zhu Cihong and the White Lotus Sect. He wanted to use the method of war to solve the economic problems of the Qing Dynasty.
The 200,000 Manchu cavalry began to slowly advance towards the White Lotus Sect's jurisdiction, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
In fact, the south is mountainous and not very suitable for cavalry combat. But the Manchu Qing were best at cavalry, and the White Lotus Sect had strong horses and excellent weapons, but the White Lotus Sect did not have cavalry. It can be said that cavalry was the only advantage of the Manchus against the White Lotus Sect.
Chen Xin, as the commander of the troops this time, did not have many soldiers and horses under her command, only 10,000 people. But in the face of 200,000 cavalry, she was not at all worried.
Chen Xin wiped the rifle in his hand with an oilcloth, and felt some emotion in his heart. More than ten years ago, Chen Ji transferred some talents from the elite of Mingluntang to form the Military Industry Research Institute. In the research institute, not only cold weapons for warriors are created, but also hot weapons are created.
From the first three-eyed gun, to the short gun, and finally to the breech rifle. The rifle in Chen Xin's hand only began to be mass-produced a month ago.
"I don't know why my brother came up with this rifle. Chen Xin secretly said in his heart, "The rifle can be called terrifying, even with my protective body, it can't stop the bullet of the rifle." You know, you're a martial arts master. In the future, this kind of rifle will be proliferated, will there still be a foothold for our warriors?"
If there were more than a dozen rifles firing at the same time, the martial arts master would be forced into a small place, and he would definitely be shot to death.
Think about it, only by practicing martial arts for a lifetime can you achieve the cultivation of a martial arts master, and it is not comparable to the lethality of an ordinary person holding a rifle.
It's simply the sorrow of a warrior.
Sometimes, Chen Xin even complained to Chen Ji, why did he invent a thermal weapon? She didn't know that even if Chen Ji didn't get a rifle, Westerners would soon invent a rifle.
"Newspaper. "A woman in a military uniform came to report it.
Chen Xin said lightly: "Where have the vanguard troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty arrived, and how far are they from us?"
The woman in military uniform said: "If you go back to Dashuai, the vanguard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still twenty miles away from us. ”
Chen Xin smiled slightly: "Explore again." After the Manchu vanguard arrived, they acted according to the original plan, and they must completely annihilate the Manchu vanguard for me. Otherwise, military law is merciless. ”
With an artifact like a rifle, if he couldn't destroy the vanguard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chen Xin would have to take it in his arms, whether the army of the White Lotus Sect was qualified.
"Yes. ”
..........................................
The vanguard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, 20,000 men, all cavalry, was led by two martial arts masters.
They got the news that Chen Xin only had 10,000 people, and there was only one martial arts master in the army. They were still very confident in defeating Chen Xin's troops.
It's a pity that life is not as good as heaven.
Times are changing, and so are weapons.
They didn't know that the 10,000 elites under Chen Xin's command were already equipped with rifles.
After the two armies met, the two martial arts masters of the Manchu Qing Dynasty saw that Chen Xin's subordinates were wearing ordinary military uniforms and no armor. My heart was overjoyed.
"The people of the White Lotus Sect are virtuous and arrogant with Chen Ji, and they don't even wear armor. Do you really think you're invincible? Exterminate the 10,000 people of the White Lotus Sect and arrest Chen Xin, this credit, Lao Tzu wants it. ”
Boom Rumble......
The cavalry charged, like a black torrent.
Chen Xin sneered: "The Manchu Tartars still think that we are the army of the late Ming Dynasty, and a single charge can defeat us? Get close to me!"
When the distance between the two sides was less than eighty meters, the sound of rifles rang out, and thousands of bullets flew towards the Manchu cavalry.
