Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 670 Slow down!

The officers and soldiers surrounded on all sides, [-] troops surrounded a mere Mingjiang City, and there were only about [-] wolf soldiers in the city, of which Huang Gongsheng's direct descendants were only [-].The rest of the people were honest at first, but when the imperial army arrived, they were inevitably ready to move.

Huang Gongsheng's situation has become difficult to fly, but he is not willing to sit still and wait for death.

Huang Gongsheng has the courage to fight to the death, but he always feels that he has not reached that point, because his father, Huang Enlong, has only three sons, not even a daughter. What if he entered Mingjiang City?

Of course, Huang Gongsheng also knew that the officers and soldiers had two options:

One is, simply do nothing and continue, and directly reform Siming Prefecture to return it to the local government and set up a local official.But Huang Gongsheng thinks that the officers and soldiers will not do this, because Siming Prefecture is a big state of Siming Mansion, and its status is extremely important. If the officers and soldiers do this, the Huang family may oppose it and even cause riots.At least logically speaking, it is impossible for Huang Zhiting to be willing to see Siming Prefecture reformed.

This is actually what Huang Gongsheng didn't understand about Huang Zhiting's actions. Siming Prefecture is so important to Siming Mansion, even if she doesn't like herself and insists on sending troops to show the majesty of the master, there is no need to recruit the imperial army Ah, isn't this leading wolves into the house?Does this stupid girl think that the imperial court is mobilizing so many people just to help her show the majesty of the master?
Hmph, even if I'm smitten when the time comes, it depends on how you, a stupid girl, end up!
The second choice for the officers and soldiers is to find another one from within the Huang family to take charge of Siming Prefecture, but this is easier said than done. If it is close, the court will still have nothing to do, and it will be a waste of time; on the other hand, if it finds a branch that is estranged from Huang Chengzu and Huang Zhiting's father and daughter to take charge of Siming Prefecture, then Huang's father and daughter will definitely not do it.

Therefore, no matter how the court chooses, Huang Gongsheng feels that it is not suitable, so the court will punish him in the end, and then continue to let him take over the post.

As for whether the imperial court will simply hand over Siming Prefecture to the Siming Mansion, Huang Gongsheng thinks it will not, because the imperial court will never consider strengthening the masters of the Cen family and the Huang family. As far as the chieftain is concerned, the court's consistent attitude is to weaken.

Obviously, Huang Gongsheng knew nothing about Gao Yushi.

Out of such considerations, Huang Gongsheng feels that the current attitude of the imperial court is actually in line with the past. They mainly want to "save face"-after all, they are killing brothers and brothers, although it is not so unusual among chieftains. However, the Ming court has always been particularly strict with this kind of behavior.

In particular, Huang Gongsheng has already ascertained that it is the new Guangxi inspector who is representing the south this time.These inspectors are the masters who like to find fault. It is human nature for this inspector to hear that he has killed his brother and brother not long after he took office.

It seems that I have to send someone to the inspector to admit my mistake, and by the way, I may have to spend a couple of dollars to make some arrangements...

This is the disadvantage of being in a remote and remote place. Huang Gongsheng didn't know Gao Yushi's origin and background at all. He only regarded him as an ordinary official, thinking that he would be able to turn the page by admitting his mistake obediently and doing the right thing.

Just when Huang Gongsheng was about to send someone to admit his mistakes and start counting and preparing gifts from the Siming Prefecture treasury, the artillery battalion led by Ni Zhonghua had all crossed the Ming River and reached the southern front.

Artillery battalion, this is a highly pragmatic term. In fact, Ming people prefer to use "car battalion" to refer to the artillery that is concentrated and used these days.Ni Zhonghua was very happy that he was able to lead the artillery battalion. He believed that this was the benefit of his extraordinary humility in front of the high press platform.

In this battle, the Han army as a whole probably won't get any great military exploits. Only Ni Zhonghua, because he leads the artillery battalion, is very hopeful to gain some military exploits. Take a big step forward.

In the Ming army, commanding the chariot battalion is not an opportunity for ordinary people, because the Ming army has different war ideas from previous dynasties, and it attaches great importance to firearms.

Before the Ming Dynasty, "emphasizing roads and despising weapons" had always occupied the mainstream military thinking, and most military strategists advocated winning by seeking. Although they still had a positive attitude towards the role of weapons in war, they did not care about the update and development of weapons and equipment. not given enough attention.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the situation began to change. Compared with the wars in the era of pure cold weapons in the past, firearms played an unprecedented role.

When Chengzu Zhu Di discussed the strategy of employing troops, in addition to requiring the commanding generals to be good at using the previous formations and tactics flexibly, he especially emphasized the use of firearms and the need to win with weapons.At present, Qi Jiguang, the most famous military strategist in Ming Dynasty, also attaches great importance to the role of weapons and equipment, thinking that "it is useless to have elite soldiers but no fine weapons to help them."
Marx once said: "With the invention of the new means of warfare, namely, the shooting gun, the whole internal organization of the army necessarily changed, the relations by which the individual individuals formed the army and could act as an army changed, and the relations of the various armies to each other It's changed too."

This change was particularly evident in the period of the Ming Dynasty when firearms were used in combination with hot and cold weapons, so that the Ming Dynasty's army building ideas became more and more mature.

Structure determines function. With the new development of firearms and their widespread use in warfare, changes in the internal structure and organizational system of the Ming army were caused. This change was most obviously manifested in the establishment of specialized firearms units in the Ming Dynasty.

The most famous is of course the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, which gradually separated the firearms soldiers from the infantry and formed an independent branch.The establishment of the Shenji Battalion greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. Compared with the Musketeers created in Spain in the early 16th century in Europe, the establishment of the Daming Firearms Troop was about a century earlier.

It can be seen that Ming Dynasty is not behind at this time, at least in terms of military development ideas, it is not behind.

Later, with the further development of firearms, Daming began to set up a firearms battalion, which better solved the problem of mobile combat with firearms.

There are several forms of car camps, including heavy car camps, light car camps, and car and horse camps.The car battalion is actually a firearms battalion. The firearms are not only shielded by chariots, but also facilitate mobile operations because of the chariots.As a form of composite troops of artillery, cavalry and infantry, the battalion of chariots, infantry and cavalry is the product of the development of firearms to a certain stage, and represents a new combat force.

But what makes Ni Zhonghua happier is that Gao Yushi put all the car camps on the northern line together and gave him command.

This approach is rare in Ming Dynasty, but Ni Zhonghua has heard of it—Liu Xian once did this kind of thing (Note: In the historical records of Liu Ting, there is a saying that he made good use of the car camp.), but It was his first time commanding such a large-scale battalion operation, so he was quite eager to try.

Of course, since Guangxi is a poor province, there are no Tianwei Generals and Shenwu Second Generals, three Honglei Generals, 3 Feilei Fourth Generals, 14 Jiesheng Fifth Generals, and Mielu There are 24 cannons, 30 tiger crouching cannons, and 60 whirlwind cannons. There are a total of 60 large and small Franglers.

The statistical unit of "bit" is a characteristic of Ming Dynasty, because Daming likes to refer to medium and large artillery as a certain general in order to use "bit" to call it.

Although there are no statistics, Ni Zhonghua estimates that the artillery above this may account for at least one-third of the mobile artillery of the entire Guangxi government and army.

With so many cannons attacking Mingjiang City, Ni Zhonghua felt that Gao Xunyan was simply giving himself credit. If he still can't seize this opportunity, wouldn't he, Ni, be too stupid?

Without waiting for Huang Zhiting to express his opinion, Ni Zhonghua observed the position for a while, and then began to order to arrange it. By the way, he sent someone to ask Huang Zhiting to send wolf soldiers to protect the car camp—although Ni Zhonghua did not think that Huang Gongsheng had the courage to come out of the city. But be careful, there is no big mistake, anyway, the friendly army is the chieftain wolf soldier, so it is not for nothing.

Although Huang Zhiting was very unhappy with Ni Zhonghua's attitude, but for the sake of these more than 200 "generals", she still recognized it with a pinch of her nose - after all, it was much more cost-effective for her to destroy the city with cannons than to use the lives of wolf soldiers to fill it.

Huang Zhiting's confrontation with Huang Gongsheng at the Mingjiang City in Siming Prefecture for nearly a month has not done nothing. The moat in the South City has already been filled by wolf soldiers under her command. If Ni Zhonghua's cannons are willing, they can go straight to Mingjiang City.

However, Ni Zhonghua felt that his work was already done properly, and he refused to take such a risk. He only placed three Generals of Honglei, Fourteen Generals of Feilei, and Twenty-four Generals of Jiesheng Five on the outside of the original moat. The main entrance and the front wall of Mingjiang City are ready to start firing.The rest of the captive cannons, tiger crouching cannons, whirlwind cannons, and large and small Francophones are arranged at the back, depending on the situation.

More than a thousand wolf soldiers sent by Huang Zhiting were divided into two teams to guard in front of the car camp.The queue of these wolf soldiers seems to be fairly neat, but a little restless, but not for anything else, but for the first step into the city after the city is broken...

However, at this moment, a small white flag suddenly flew out from the tower, and a hanging basket was lowered from the tower, and a person jumped out of the basket, shouting: "Hold on slowly, move slowly, the villain is begging to see you at the order of the second son." Patrol the master!"
