The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 842
It was late at night, and Chongde, who was tossing and turning, simply came to the window and stared at the sky in a daze.

Thinking, thinking, Chongde couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seems that sending Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to attack the city in Shaanxi was a completely stupid move. The "Red Banner Army" would not lose a cent, but the Ming Dynasty was beaten to the point of losing troops.

Huang Han's fellow is not a thing in the pool, sooner or later he will soar into the sky, the worse the Qing Dynasty beat the Ming Dynasty, the more it will be more beneficial for Huang Han to seize the world.

Having figured it out, Chongde suddenly felt powerless, and the rare sense of helplessness made him feel sad for Yue.

Zu Dashou has lived in Shengjing for more than a year. During this period of time, he was in a trance, without him, because he often dreamed of He Kegang at night, which made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Seeing that Jinzhou was about to face an offensive and defensive battle, Chongde thought of Zu Dashou who once defended Jinzhou for the Ming Dynasty against the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.

It is an indisputable fact that the morale of the Han army in Jinzhou was low and there was no fighting spirit. Chongde summoned Zu Dashou to comfort him and sent him back to Jinzhou to organize defense.

Zu Dashou, who had lost a lot of weight, was not excited about being reactivated by his master, on the contrary, he was very preoccupied.

When Chongde releases Zu Dashou, he will of course keep his hand. Zu Dashou's sons are all kept in Shengjing to serve.

Zu Dashou, who had lost hope for the future, took dozens of family members to re-enter the ancestral mansion in Jinzhou. He did not actively organize defenses at all, but invited the old generals to drink and revel all day long.

The gold and silver treasures accumulated by the ancestral family for more than ten years were all used to buy expensive wine and meat. The profligate Zu Dashou had a rascal with broken pots and broken jars.

During the food crisis in the Qing Dynasty, the price of wine and meat remained high. Not only the lower-level armored people did not know the taste of meat for a long time, but even the military nobles of Manchu and Mongolia felt that life was becoming increasingly difficult.

The guards of Jinzhou were invited by the former leading brother Zu Dashou, not for other reasons, just to have wine and meat to eat.

Because everyone is in a terrible mood, there will always be unhappiness at the banquet, and there will always be generals who speak the truth after drinking, and lose confidence in the future everywhere.

Although it was discovered that the Mongolian cavalry had retreated, Hanzi, Wang Zhicheng and others did not continue to pursue and let them go east.

This battle was not in the plan, and it could be considered that the Manchu Qing side initiated it on their own initiative. Huang Han didn't demand to wipe out the Qing army in large numbers, and he thought he couldn't do it.

Gaining time to build the defense line from Ningyuan to Chifengwei is a victory.

Anyway, the original plan was to launch the campaign to recover Jinzhou in August, so there is no need to be busy for a while.

The "Red Banner Army" does not have an advantage in the number of people and horses, and the number of cavalry is completely at a disadvantage. They can fight against the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry in the vast prairie.

This made Zheng Guochang and Liu Zhilun, who had personally experienced this battle, full of confidence.

Although only less than a thousand were obtained, the gains were not satisfactory, but these heads were all chopped off when the cavalry rushed to kill.

Zheng and Liu both understand military affairs and know that the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry rely on mobility and field combat capabilities.

Today's "Red Banner Army" is not afraid of the strengths of the Qing Army, what capital will the Qing Army have in the future to compete with the "Red Banner Army"?
In mid-May, the vast prairie was green, and Huang Han accompanied Zheng Guochang and Liu Zhilun to review the new "flying army" before they left.

The sky was clear and the breeze was blowing. Hundreds of hot air balloons flew over the hypothetical city, throwing Molotov cocktails and tens of thousands of enemies, and a sea of ​​flames rose from the delineated air strike area.

The Ten Thousand Enemy was the Ming army's weapon of defense at the end of the apocalypse. It should be the earliest incendiary bomb in the history of warfare, weighing eighty catties.

In order to facilitate handling and high-altitude throwing, the "Red Banner Army" improved on the original basis, reducing its size to twenty kilograms.

The incendiary bottle is simpler, and it can be ignited by putting the processed fire oil in a ceramic jar or a glass bottle and throwing it on the ground.

People in this era have never seen air raids before. Not only the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" who participated in the review cheered thunderously, but even Liu Zhilun and Zheng Guochang were trembling with excitement.

No matter how tall and strong a city is, no matter how many cannons it has, what is the use of a city that can strike from the sky?
The recovery of Jinzhou in autumn is of course a certainty. If the "Red Banner Army" makes persistent efforts to take down Shenyang, it will be possible!

The "King of the Hanjiang River" has an invincible "Red Banner Army", financial and material resources that surpass those of Ming Dynasty, abilities far superior to those of the Son of Heaven, and young generals who are knowledgeable and capable.

Of course, it is impossible for such a person to bow his head and obey his ears. He should persuade the Son of Heaven to be aware of current affairs.

After the two cabinet ministers inspected the current strength of the "Red Banner Army" on the spot, their spirits were lifted, and they were in a good mood on the way back to the capital.

Huang Han personally accompanied them back to Shanhaiguan before bidding farewell to them.

May 11th, [-]th year of Chongzhen is a memorable day. After two or three years of planning to cross the Pacific Ocean to South and North America, we set sail today.

Wang Zheng, Huang Yi, Yu Fei, Lin Minghai, Shi Daxuan, Wang Yuqi, Wu Youxing, Shen Langzhong, and Xu Erjue formed a pioneering team to lead the voyage of 36 warships, merchant ships, and supply ships.

Among them, there are three first-class battleships with a displacement of more than [-] tons, the remaining [-] warships have a displacement of more than [-] tons, and [-] merchant ships and supply ships have a displacement of more than [-] tons.

At the end of last year, when Huang Han was still in Seoul, he was finalizing the list of chief officers of Yuanhang. The two disciples, Huang Yi and Yu Fei, had already made the list by default.

Wu Youxing learned from Huang Han several years ago that there is an evergreen shrub cinchona tree on the far side of the ocean that can cure malaria.

Malaria, also known as "beating the pendulum", is an acute infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes.

Once people are infected with this disease, they will suddenly feel cold and shiver, and then have a high fever, talk nonsense, and lose consciousness. Many people in the south of Ming Dynasty, especially in the humid climate areas, suffer from this disease.

Restricted by medical conditions, doctors currently have nothing to do with this disease, and patients often get worse and can only wait to die.

The doctor’s parents thought that when Wu Youxing learned that there was a sacred tree on the other side of the sea that could be used as medicine to cure malaria, he had the urge to travel across the ocean to find it.

When they learned that General Zhenglu issued a call to travel across the oceans to South America to expand the soil, and to accept the registration of civilians, military generals, soldiers and civilians who volunteered to participate, Wu You and Shen Langzhong signed up first.

Within a few days, the number of medical officers who signed up reached one or two hundred, and even Li Zhongzi, Li Zhonghua, and Ma Liuliang came to compete for a place to go to the New World to open up the world.

Thanks to Huang Han's golden finger, these doctors have long been no longer traditional Chinese medicine doctors, and there are not many who can perform surgical operations.

Today, "Hanjiang University" medical department not only has Chinese medicine classes, but also several surgical classes. The school not only has acupoint maps of the human body, but also a comprehensive human anatomy map.

The medical technology of the "Red Banner Army" system is definitely leading the world. Doctors are not only respected and can get a lot of money, but outstanding contributors can also get official positions, so their enthusiasm is high.

　The next month will still be updated every day, except for some delays in the first week, try to try to update two chapters a day.
