Seven hundred and nineteenth power
Man Gui replied: "Until the eldest son, he will follow the military orders."
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Man Gui deeply. He only turned his eyes after seeing the Mongolian military officer's expression of nervousness and did not dare to look at him.
"There is something strange today." Yuan Chonghuan said: "Hi Yusheng came hundreds of people, saying that they were here to fight the front station to prepare for helping Shisanshan. This kind of Yishang Yimin is not good for me to go against their good intentions. Besides, the Supervisor also knows that you should deal with this matter. After all, the two generals were leading the troops to."
"Yes, I will follow the per capita order of the Daotai University."
This time it was a business, and the two generals agreed respectfully.
After leaving Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Zu Dashou: "Mr. Yuan is indeed not angry and powerful, which makes people feel nervous when they are by his side."
Zu Dashou shook his eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, Lord Yuan attaches great importance to me. You will understand after spending time together. However, the key is that Brother Cangyuan should take root in Ningyuan quickly."
"Um." Man Gui nodded thoughtfully.
...
The people of Yusheng are just north of Ningyuan City. From Ningyuan, all the way from Songshan Tashan Xingshan and Dalinghe Fort, and a little west is Jinzhou. This is the throat area of the narrow and long Liaoxi Corridor, and the terrain is very important.
It is more than 320 miles from Ningyuan to Shisan Mountain. On the way, it is necessary to pass Jinzhou. Recently, there have been a lot of noise in sending troops. The generals have camped outside the city in sections. Several small military forts in the north have been repaired, which can effectively warn and protect. When Zu Dashou and Mangui arrived at the barracks area several miles outside the north gate, they felt that many people were watching.
“What a beautiful car.”
Although they had seen the convoy with Yusheng many times, Man Gui and Zu Dashou still cheered in unison.
He Yusheng has semicolons in Yongping Prefecture and Shanhaiguan. In addition to doing ordinary transshipment business for merchants, he is just opening semicolons to sell iron and some groceries. Grain and iron are He Yusheng's fist products. The weapons produced by He Yusheng are all purchased in Jizhen and Liaozhen. Zu Dashou and Mangui's Needin have all used the weapons produced by He Ji. The blades are thick and the iron materials are of high quality. In addition, they are standardized. One is the same, one hundred and one thousand waist knives are the same. The weight of the pound is almost exactly the same, including the blade edges and scabbards.
Of course, Liao Town does not understand what standardized production is, but it does not hinder their love for standardized weapons. It is easy to maintain and has no quality. All servants love Hutchison's weapons.
In addition to the sword cards, there are also a large number of long spears, iron spears, long eyebrows tattooed swords, long axes, short axes, and spears, all of which are of high quality good things.
It was through these weapons that He Yusheng opened up the situation in Liao Town. A few generals handed over military logistics to He Ji, and He Yusheng opened up the situation in Ji Liao Town.
The food sale here is mainly aimed at the people. Because the large influx of silver, Shanhaiguan and Yongping Prefecture caused vicious inflation in a short period of time. The court could solve it quickly. He Yusheng seized the shortage period and imported a large amount of money when the grain prices rose viciously. While he made a big profit, he also snatched the territory.
The garrisons in Jiliao and the people and merchants who opened their eyes to Jiliao are of course still the strong logistics level of Yusheng.
Just like Zu Dashou and Mangui saw at this time, Hutchison's vehicles are large and beautiful, with a far-reaching Chinese-style twin-carrying car that can walk on relatively dilapidated roads. Unlike Chinese-style big cars, if the road is poor, it will be difficult to walk, and it is not as practical as a single-wheeled car.
It was because of He Yusheng's actions that although Sun Chengzong was furious because of Zhang Han's letter, he did not give a dead order to expel He Yusheng. Even because Sun Chengzong knew that He Yusheng's strength was still far from ordinary merchants, all parties still hoped that He Yusheng could make a real effort in this aid operation.
Seeing two generals and servants flocking to the crowd, several left-behind guerrilla generals and a large number of military officers such as the garrison, the governors, and the Qianzong were all greeted. The generals stood by the roadside and bowed with their fists. Those with low official positions were half kneeling to salute.
The generals were all wearing various armors, including high-quality mountain armor, Mingguang armor, and ordinary fish-scale iron armor. The cloak behind them was also colorful and looked colorful. Needing and the soldiers of the camp mostly wore red military robes. The Ming Dynasty was a fire-de-shang red, and most of the army wore red. The mandarin duck war jackets of the guards back then were all bright red. When tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people marched together, it was like a red cloud landing on the ground.
The color of the border troops is not necessarily the same. Some wear blue folded scarves and blue two-sided armor, while others wear hats and gray military robes. Northern military towns, especially Liao towns, mostly wear red military robes. If there are armor, they wear double-breasted foam spike cotton armor, and cherry helmets or petal helmets.
There were also a large number of civilians around the camp, some large trucks recruited, and even a large number of wheelbarrows.
Assisting the Thirteen Mountains is a major event that can reach the heavens. The Liao Town is still preparing for serious matters. On the mountain, there were military and civilians who fled up the mountain when Guangning City was broken, as many as 100,000 people. In the sudden situation, Liaodong had lost a large number of Dingkou, and a large number of military and civilians were massacred. However, if the court already knew that the 100,000 soldiers and civilians were killed or looted under the conscious long-term siege of Jianlu, then the situation would be different.
It is still during the Tianqi period. Although the Ming Dynasty was defeated repeatedly, the ambitions of the court were still strong. I always felt that I could not lose to the small tribes of the tens of thousands of Dingkou. Until the second year of Chongzhen, the Jianlu broke the border walls and entered the pass five times, and even the prince was captured. During the Chongzhen period, the Jianlu had arrived at the southern border of Nanzhili, ravaged the entire Shandong, captured the King of Lu, and took away millions of gold and silver and more than one hundred thousand people. At that time, the court was already lying down and beating, and what was the face?
The court had long been abandoned underground, and dozens of inland prefectures were destroyed. Sun Chengzong, who was respected and retired senior officials like Sun Chengzong, were all captured and killed by the Eight Banners soldiers in their original home. How could the court have any face? Besides, even the Fengyang Imperial Tomb was destroyed by the peasant army at that time. The scene of the end of the world was very obvious. Unlike at this time, there were only external troubles but no obvious internal troubles. The court's face and integrity were still there. Moreover, the emperor was not Chongzhen, but the loyal Emperor Tianqi.
In a large red area with Yusheng's gray color is an isolated island, with more than 200 large trucks forming a semicircle, and about 300 people in gray robe are in the middle of the circle.
Zu Dashou noticed that this time, the caravan and Yusheng were different from the past. All the gray-robed men had more concise clothes, but they also felt like military robes. The cut was very fit, with a hem to the left of the knees, an open collar on the chest, a sign on the shoulders, a slanted cowhide strap on the chest, and a variety of items were hung on the head. Two rows of copper buckles were from the chest to the abdomen leather straps. Everyone was a man of moderate shape, and some people had a clear and tough look on their bodies, and every move was revealed as elite soldiers.
Most of the gray-robed soldiers were carrying muskets behind them, and the workmanship quality seemed to be significantly higher than that of the Ministry of Works.
Seeing that most of the people who were carrying muskets and there were not many players, Man Gui shook his head gently.
Zu Dashou saw it and smiled and said, "The people in Yusheng said that most of them were going to fight against the Northern Lu and the Horse Thief, and also attack bandits, which was the most effective for these people's muskets."
"The Jianlu is not afraid of firearms." Man Gui said: "It is useless to not fire guns near the fire. Once the company spear is released, the enemy cavalry is fierce. When the flying cavalry arrives, the gun soldiers will fire guns, which is useless. The range of their stair bows is above the fire guns, and at least twenty steps are available. We don't have heavy armor protection. What are the uses of these firearms?"
As he spoke, a gun suddenly sounded.
Perhaps a general had questions about He Yusheng's musket. Before Man Gui finished speaking, a group of birds passed by. Between about seventy and eighty steps, several of He Yusheng's gunmen suddenly fired.
They hardly had a long time to aim, as if they just raised the gun and glanced slightly, and then the musket started.
"Ah?" Man Gui exclaimed, "Your own fire gun!"
It was the first time that Zu Dashou saw that the Heyusheng caravan who came to Liaodong also had guards. It seemed to be similar to the people in front of him, but there were fewer parts, such as the logo on his shoulders and the badge on his chest. Those people used a variety of weapons, including long spears and big swords and combs, but Zu Dashou remembered that there seemed to be no extremely advanced weapon such as self-generated muskets.
Self-produced muskets appeared in Europe less than 30 years ago. In China, some people proposed and made finished products. It was Zhao Shizhen, the master of instrument making during the Wanli period. He not only proposed and made self-produced muskets, but also successfully imitated extremely advanced muskets such as Lumi guns. They were well-made and cleverly designed. In terms of power, the effective range of Lumi guns was more than 150 steps and nearly 200 steps. Of course, the requirements for shooters are also very high. The lethality of such guns within a hundred steps is extremely amazing.
However, Zhao Shizhen is already dead, and the various exquisite muskets he made have long disappeared. This is also the norm in China. Some monster-like figures may appear, and they will return to zero after death, such as Zhang Juzheng and Zhao Shizhen.
Now, the front-line military towns like Liao Town use the Ministry of Works to build muskets. The quality is so bad that they are not even at ease when they are fired. They have to be farther away from their heads. Otherwise, the bullets released may not hurt people, but they can easily hurt themselves if they explode. Many soldiers in the Liao Town Firearms Battalion wear one-eyed dragons, which are the marks left by the Ministry of Works to build muskets.
After a few guns, several birds on the opposite side were hit and fell down on the spot.
Someone rode a horse and ran over to pick it up. After picking it up, people found that the muskets smashed the bird's body. Only those who hit the wings seemed to be intact, but they were also bloody and fuzzy.
"What a great power." This time it was Zu Dashou's exclamation.
Man Gui frowned and said, "You can shoot a bird in about eighty steps to make it land. This seems to be the record of Qi Shuai's bird gunner."
