Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 517 Liaodong Lion Tiger Fight (1)

The backward and conservative Ming Dynasty had to be injected with 'new' forms, from seed, to germination, to growth, to maturity, every step of the way was not easy.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had enough patience to use every conceivable method to snatch precious time and prevent the overall order of Ming Dynasty from going into chaos.

Development requires stability.

Stability requires progress.

Enterprising, needs to be renewed.

This is a series of links, and it is not easy to do this well, but what Emperor Chongzhen can do is to do his best.

The Zhili Disaster Relief Office called a meeting of scholars, which will last for some time. After all, there are many problems to be solved and many issues to be discussed.

Through such a meeting full of sense of participation, for Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu, the group of administrative scholars, there will be a spiritual baptism, and it will also make them self-diagnose and self-interrogate.

"My lord, the first batch of military supplies such as firearms and gunpowder to aid Liao have been transported from Xishan to Tongzhou." Wang Chengen looked serious, cupped his hands and said, "We will secretly transport them to Zhili Prefecture, Tianjin under various names, and transport them to Dongjiang Town at an appropriate time." side."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly and said: "The subsequent batches of military supplies such as firearms and gunpowder to aid Liao have been emphasized by the Armed Forces Academy to produce them as soon as possible.

Centralized transportation to Dongjiang Town, with Jin Xuan in charge of scheduling.

Since Li Zicheng was able to fight such a big battle under the rule of Liaodong, then I must help the situation, and don't let down the general Li Chuang whom I appointed personally. "

Regarding the turmoil in Liaodong, although the Military Aircraft Department had clearly issued an order and various arrangements were being made, Emperor Chongzhen did not relax his vigilance.

Everything else is easy to say, Li Zicheng's aid needs to be increased, even if he can't exchange for various resources, Emperor Chongzhen will also post money to supplement it.

After all, the longer Liaodong tosses, the greater the variables will be. This represents a possibility that can slow down the momentum of Jianlu's external expansion and development.

Huang Taiji is an ambitious guy. He has always wanted to take advantage of expansion and development to concentrate the power in his hands, weaken the privileges of Daishan, Mang Gurtai, and Amin, the banner leaders Baylor, and follow the example of Ming rule to build the Eight Banners.

How could Emperor Chongzhen fulfill this thief's wish.

Among other things, if Huang Taiji could be slowed down and the process of strengthening his power, even if Emperor Chongzhen was asked to spend one or two million taels of silver, it would be a sure-fire deal.

Wang Cheng'en looked worried and said: "Your Majesty, if you help Li Zicheng, a traitor like Li Zicheng, to rebel, if you finally rise up in Liaodong, won't you create another strong enemy for Daming?"

"General Li Chuang and Huang Taiji have different natures."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "At the end of the day, one represents the civilization of the Han family and the other represents the civilization of hunting. I would rather watch Li Zicheng rise in Liaodong and take back the stolen Liao land from the hands of Jianlu for the Ming Dynasty.

I also don't want to watch the brutal Jianlu Eight Banners steal our land of the Ming Dynasty and Liao Dynasty, and brutally exploit our people of the Ming Dynasty and Liao Dynasty.

At the current stage of Ming Dynasty, it is very unrealistic to completely suppress the Jianlu rebellion.

The Ming Dynasty needed time to gradually reform the military and government, especially the frontier troops guarding the Liao territory, but Jianlu did not give me such an opportunity and time before.

The confrontation between the two parties cannot properly resolve these issues.

What about the three-way confrontation?

I hope that General Li Chuang can eventually seize the territory of the southern Liaowei, the Dongjiang Army regains Zhenjiang Fort, and Sun Chengzong regains the land of Western Liaoning. "

The land warfare of the Jianlu Eight Banners is definitely the strongest representative of this era. The simple and clear system of farming and warfare has created Jianlu's characteristics of daring to fight on the battlefield.

It is basically unrealistic to suppress this powerful land force by means of the era of cold weapons. The only way to suppress them is to rely on the advantages of hot weapons.

The first-generation flintlock developed by the Armed Forces Institute may not be considered very cost-effective by Emperor Chongzhen, but in a specific situation and on a specific battlefield, a batch of silver was used for mass production to ensure that the expected goals can be achieved. Emperor Chongzhen Still willing to spend.

"Let's fight, let's fight."

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair and said with emotion: "It would be best if the battle in southern Liaoning can be fought until the midwinter is approaching, so the situation will be beneficial to Daming."

During the Little Ice Age, it was common for the temperature to drop from season to season. At that time, Liaodong was generally colder than other places in Ming Dynasty.

If Li Zicheng and the others can hold on to the Xiuyan City area until the end of winter and continue to promote changes in the battle situation, then Jianlu will become more and more passive.

……

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The deafening sound of shelling hovered over Xiuyan City. The Liaodong Rebel Army guarding the city huddled behind the city wall to avoid Jianlu's shelling.

"Pooh!"

Li Zicheng, who was hiding in the enemy building, spat out thick phlegm, frowned, and cursed: "These bastards of Jianlu only have a dozen or so cannons, and they fought endlessly.

This is bullying Lao Tzu's lack of artillery.

Straight mother thief, when I have a chance, I must find the Chongzhen boy and replace it with a hundred artillery pieces, so that Jianlu can taste the taste of shelling. "

Pei Xionghu and his group of generals couldn't help laughing when they heard what their commander-in-chief said.

"This Jianlu is really stubborn."

Pei Xionghu said with a smile: "Knowing that those artillery can't cause too many casualties to us, but still carry out shelling desperately.

Not afraid of bombing.

If you want to say that from the Ming army, the replacement of the Zhentianlei is as powerful as his mother, and it has caught up with the tiger squatting cannon. Otherwise, the besieged Jianlu would not have suffered such heavy casualties. "

War can change a person.

Like Pei Xionghu and the gang of death row prisoners, when they first arrived in Liao, all kinds of behaviors were engraved in Li Zicheng's mind, but now they have all changed.

In the land of China, there is never a shortage of talents, what is lacking is only the opportunity to sharpen.

"Everyone, don't be careless. When this round of Jianlu shelling is over, a group of new soldiers will take turns to guard the city." Li Zicheng said with a stare.

"The battle in Xiuyan City will last for a long time, at least until Jianlu's side starts to change, and it will represent Liu Xingzuo and the others.

Taking advantage of the availability of the army's morale, it is good to use the old to bring in the new. Even if half of the recruits recruited in Xiuyan City die in battle, they can replace thousands of old battalion elites. "

"Here!"

All the generals suddenly agreed.

The battlefield of Xiuyan City, filled with gunpowder smoke, wafts a strong smell of blood. When Daming Pass is stable, it is more like a purgatory on earth. War, since the reign of Tianqi, seems to have become the main theme of Liao. , died under this chaotic order.
