Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 636 Aunt Zhu: Is This Tongguan?
Outside Tongguan, on the official road, a carriage was rushing forward. An old eunuch sat on the shaft of the carriage, followed by a group of guards. with wounds.

This journey Zhu Yu can be regarded as seeing the territory of Daming under the rule of the father. It is really miserable. She is a good soldier in the army, I'm afraid she would be captured by refugees and bandits and become Mrs. Yazhai if she didn't make it to Lantian.

Every time she thinks of the howling victims on the road, the skinny children, the victims who were beaten to the point of bleeding for a mouthful of black food, Zhu Yuxi will cry silently, feeling sad for her father, obviously His father has worked so hard, why are there so many hungry people in the world.

Eunuch Cao told her that they had actually taken the best path, and they didn't go to places where there were real bandits everywhere. Those places were the real exchange for food, and that was the real misery.

Aimee Zhu didn't have any idea about this before, but after meeting the victims of disasters in the Ming Dynasty, she finally had a new understanding of the world under her father's rule. It was really not easy for her father, such a big world needs him to support.

Aimee Zhu felt very sad when she thought about it. She once asked Eunuch Cao whose fault it was that the world was like this. Eunuch Cao sighed and said, "It's the fault of the bandits, it's the fault of the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty, and it's the fault of the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty. It was the fault of Lantian who didn't save. If Lantian saved Daming regardless of the cost, why would the people of Ming come to this point? Li Chaosheng is number one."

Aimee Zhu thinks so, and has already outlined in her mind a Lantian that is as rich as the capital city. If such a hero is willing to help her father, why is it so difficult for her father? And she came here this time to feed her with her body Hu, I hope that Li Chaosheng, who can be exchanged for himself, will lend a helping hand to the father, and don't make it so difficult for the father to support him.

"Your Highness, Tongguan is ahead, and after passing Tongguan, you will enter the boundary of Lantian."

After hearing this, Auntie Zhu opened the curtain, and immediately saw an incomparably majestic pass, the overall color was gray, not to mention towering into the sky, but it was much higher than the city wall of BJ.

"Your Highness, this is Tongguan. This Tongguan was not so majestic before. Last time I came here, this place was a bit shorter than the capital city. But now, princess, look at Li Chaosheng's disobedience. "

"Eunuch, why is the city wall gray?"

Aimee Zhu asked, and after listening to Eunuch Cao, Cao Huachun said, "Oh, this is Lantian's special product called cement, which is very useful in construction and can be solidified quickly. Building a city wall or fortress can greatly reduce the construction time." , which has a great role in the military.”

"Oh, then you can take some back and let the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry imitate, will it help the father?"

Aimee Zhu asked, and after hearing this, Cao Huachun said, "Princess is really dedicated to your majesty, but don't worry, princess, it is not difficult to imitate this thing, and there is no need to imitate it. Lantian is in the capital, and there are cement factories in many big states. , the price sold there is lower than the cost of our raw materials, so we don't need to imitate it."

"Ah, lower than our raw materials, how did they do it?"

Auntie Zhu asked with wide-eyed eyes, and Cao Huachun said, "It's fine if the scale is large. If the scale is large, the production cost will be low. If the cost is low, the selling price will also be low."

"Ah, then why don't we expand production?"

Auntie Zhu asked Cao Huachun, and Cao Huachun smiled wryly after hearing the words: "We need money to expand the scale. Now that the imperial court can't even pay the military salary, there is still money to put this cement into production. Besides, it is not difficult to imitate this thing. Let Lantian have some advantages first. When you want to use it, you can directly imitate it, and these factories pay taxes to the court every year, we don’t invest money, and we still have taxes, why not do it?”

After hearing this, Auntie Zhu nodded half-understood. In this way, it seems that the court has made money.

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Wei and said, "Actually, if Li Chaosheng is willing to hand over such a weapon of benefit to the imperial court, His Majesty will be able to raise [-] elite soldiers. With these [-] elite soldiers, the defense of Liaodong can be strengthened. The suppression of the rebellion in Henan can also be smoother, but Li Chaosheng doesn't care about the court, he is only willing to invest money in the construction of Lantian, but no matter how good the construction of Lantian is, it is not His Majesty's."

"My father-in-law said that if I see Li Chaosheng, I must persuade him to hand over these cement factories to my father and help my father raise military pay."

Aimee Zhu said very seriously, she thinks she has such weight as a princess.

It was also instilled by Cao Huachun along the way. Didn't you, Li Chaosheng, always establish your image as a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty?I see Princess Daming making a request to you, how can you refuse.

stomping on...

The two were talking, when they suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, as if a large cavalry force was coming, Zhu Wei's expression changed and she said, "Elder-in-law, are you a bandit?"

Cao Huachun narrowed his eyes and said: "Princess, don't panic, this is the boundary of Tongguan, there are no bandits around here who dare to act wild."

"Is it because of Lan Tian?"

Aimee Zhu asked, Cao Huachun was silent, what else could it be because of Lantian? In order to ensure smooth business access to Lantian, Lantian militiamen will patrol within a hundred miles of the pass near Lantian. For the construction of the reservoir, it can be said that as long as it is within a hundred miles of the radiation of Lantian, it is a safe area. There are no bandits or bandits who dare to run wild here.

But can Cao Huachun say it?No, what he wanted was to uglify Lantian, so Cao Huachun said, "What do you have to do with Lantian?

"Mr. Zuo?"

Aimee Zhu murmured, and Cao Huachun said: "Of course, Lan Tian has been willing to stay in Tongguan all these years, it's all thanks to the Zuo Zongbing. If there is no Zuo Zongbing, the soldiers of Lantian may have already reached Henan."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhu said: "It seems that Zuo Zongbing is better at using troops than Lantian Li Chaosheng."

Cao Huachun twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words. Fortunately, the old eunuch has a thick face, otherwise I would feel guilty for lying to such a silly girl. Zuo Liangyu is better at using troops than Li Chaosheng. I'm afraid only the naive Auntie Zhu thinks so.

stomping on...

The cavalry approached quickly, Cao Huachun squinted his eyes slightly, saw the flag behind and said: "It's the Zuo Zongbing."

Auntie Zhu tried to open her eyes wide, wanting to see what kind of person this commander-in-chief who can trap Li Chaosheng in Lantian is.

Soon he came to the front, and there was a strong man who was blind in one eye sitting on a horse. The white horse was Zuo Liangyu's son, Zuo Menggeng. The two brought a hundred riders to the front, followed by Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Menggeng. Pass Her Majesty the Princess."

After hearing this, Auntie Zhu was slightly distracted, and Cao Huachun who was at the side said, "Well, let's be flat."

"Thank you princess."

Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Menggeng stood up, Cao Huachun said: "What are you two doing here?"

Zuo Liangyu said: "Elder-in-law, the two of us are here to welcome the princess, and we will bid farewell to the princess. Your Majesty's will, the princess will enter Lantian, and our troops will march into Henan, and together with Sun Chuanting we will defeat the intruders."

"Oh, General Zuo is very lucky, princess."

After hearing this, Auntie Zhu reacted and said, "Come here, give me wine."

"Thank you princess."

Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Menggeng clasped their fists and drank the two cups of Zhuangxing wine given by the princess in one gulp, their faces were full of joy, not because they felt honored after drinking the wine from Aunt Zhu, but because they could finally leave this devil's land up.

God knows how they have lived in Tongguan these years. With more than 1 people under their command, they have to face tens of thousands of Tongguan defenders in Lantian every day, as well as an unknown number of militia groups.

What's even more frightening is that they were once dealt with by a militia group, but never beaten.

In other words, they are the meat on other people's chopping boards on the edge of Tongguan, but Li Chaosheng doesn't want to eat them. If he wants to eat them, they have to be honest. Zuo Liangyu once said that if Li Chaosheng attacked them, he would If you take the lead in surrendering, maybe you can get your life back.

And he already understood the hatred between him and Lantian. Back then, he was blind and wanted to conspire with Yang Sichang and Zhou Yanru in Lantian County. As a result, his family was killed and he was blinded in one eye.

Zuo Liangyu hated this back then, wishing he could kill Li Chaosheng right away, but now he is afraid, the more he understands Lantian, the more he is afraid, Lantian is no longer a simple SX province, it is a city that has ruled at least three provinces in the country. One-tenth of the wealth, hundreds of thousands or even millions of terrorist forces.

Don't look at Lantian's four major armies on the bright side, there are less than 10 people together, but what about the militia?

Lantian now has a population of 800 million, of which there are at least 80 million militiamen, and these militiamen are better trained than their own elites. Believe it or not, the last time Zuo Menggeng clashed with the People's Militia was the best case.

When the number of people is equal, being beaten into a fool is crushing. A militia group has muskets, and they are all the most advanced Lantian flintlock guns, and they can also pull out big killers like grenades. How do you let Zuo Liangyu, who still use the most primitive three-eyed blunderbuss, big waist knife, and bow and arrow of Ming Dynasty, fight against these open militiamen?

And recently, there is another news that Zuo Liangyu woke up from his dreams. The first batch of artillery in Lantian has begun to retire. The regular army in Lantian no longer uses the old cannons of the past, but has replaced them with the most advanced smooth-bore guns. gun.

According to Lantian's consistent military practice, the weapons that the main force does not use and the second-hand equipment that are eliminated are all directly equipped to the militia. My God, do you know how terrifying this is?

The 80 militiamen in Lantian are equipped with artillery, so are they still militiamen?Have you ever seen a militia that crushes Ming Dynasty elites in terms of equipment and training?
As for Zuo Liangyu's claim that his army is the elite of the Ming Dynasty, is there anything wrong with that?

Of course, if Lu Xiangsheng was still there back then, his Tianxiong Army would have been the number one elite in Ming Dynasty, and secondly, the Liaodong Army would have been regarded as the elite. Now, in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the Liaodong Army, wouldn’t Sun Chuanting’s Qin Army be the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with his own army? ?

The top three armies in the world are no match for the militiamen in Lantian, what do you make Zuo Liangyu think, and even hit a hammer, Zuo Liangyu stays in Tongguan for a day, and feels like a little mouse, staying in a tiger Beside such a big cat, the other party looked at me teasingly, but I didn't even dare to fart.

Because if you make a sound, it makes people unhappy, and the other person can shoot himself to death by raising his hand.

But now it's all right, our wise Majesty has sent his precious daughter here, and wants to use the generosity of a delicate woman to influence a hero who holds the most elite army in the world.

Zuo Liangyu felt that this was impossible, if Li Chaosheng sent his harem beauties, daughter-in-law, and mother, not to mention Chongzhen sending his daughter, he would not be soft-hearted.

What is a woman compared to the world?

People who love beauties don't love country, that's the story in the storybook, how can a real hero give up the world because of his children's affair.

Therefore, Zuo Liangyu felt that Chongzhen's actions meant that meat buns beat dogs and never returned. If he put the princess to sleep, he would rebel and beat you anyway, what would happen?

Therefore, Zuo Liangyu was not optimistic about this matter at all, but he agreed with a hundred hands.

He doesn't know whether Chongzhen's move can restrain Li Chaosheng, but the only thing he knows is that he can leave Lantian and Tongguan.

Some people say, is it okay to leave Tongguan?When you leave Tongguan, you are about to enter Henan, and you will fight Li Zicheng, a giant in the world. This is not more tragic.

But from Zuo Liangyu's point of view, Li Zicheng is considered a hammer. Li Zicheng is just a slightly bigger mouse in front of Li Chaosheng, and Zuo Liangyu is also a mouse. Even if Li Zicheng is a little bigger than him, so what? It's just fighting at the same level.

And let Zuo Liangyu fight Li Chaosheng, he is afraid that he is not even qualified to fight, Li Chaosheng is a giant cat, and all major forces in the world are mice, even Chongzhen who sits on the throne in the capital is also a giant mouse. Maybe he's a mouse emperor.

And Li Chaosheng is a cat, which is not the same species as them at all, and it is a giant cat in the world. Sooner or later, this world is just a mouthful of cat food for Li Chaosheng.

So when the princess came and he was free, he ran over to thank the princess for saving his life without hesitation. This was sincere.

Zuo Menggeng looked at the princess's pretty face, and thought to himself, it's a pity that she's a beauty, but he dared to take another look, because no matter how this woman was marked with Li Chaosheng's mark, it was not something that a small person like himself could miss. The kind you can't even look at.

The two were thinking like this, when suddenly there was another puff of smoke in the distance, and another wave of cavalry came.

Cao Huachun asked, "Is it Lord Zuo's soldier?"

Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu said: "No, I'm afraid it's the Lantian cavalry."
