Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Now every train station has a signal tower and telegraph station.

The spread of telegraphs was not only carried out in various state capitals, but also gradually extended by trains to facilitate the transmission of train schedule information. At the same time, Zhu Xuan also arranged for people to spread telegraphs to the northwest as soon as possible to facilitate the transmission of various battle reports and obtain relevant information as soon as possible. military situation.

Lan Yu really didn't know what a telegram was, and this was the first time she heard it.

During the days when he was idle in Beijing, he never asked about outside affairs. It was also because of the rumors about the cross-river bridge and the train that he knew that the telegraph was only used by officials and had not been promoted to the outside world.

Not many people know.

"The telegraph is a way of sending messages."

"Even if His Majesty is in Yingtian and wants to send a message here, the message can only be sent very quickly."

"This is a letter sent by His Majesty via telegram to General Lan."

Geng Xuan explained.

He is the person who knows these technologies best. After all, he has been following Zhu Xuan and training and leading troops for Zhu Xuan. Their army camp has a telegraph station and signal tower.

Sapphire: "..."

"impossible?"

Is the telegraph that powerful?

From here to the capital, it is probably a thousand miles away. The only way to send letters is between messages. It sounds like a fantasy. It is more magical and magical than the novel "Journey to the West" that Lan Yu has read, and it is far beyond Lan Yu. Jade cognition.

"It's really that powerful."

Geng Xuan had no choice but to say.

Lan Yu came into contact with the telegram for the first time, so she had to be cautious and said: "This is a letter from His Majesty. I...I need to ask for verification before I can open it. How can you contact His Majesty for verification? Take me to see it quickly."

He was amazed again at that telegram.

"General Lan, please come this way!"

Geng Xuan had no choice but to take him to the telegraph station at the station.

At this time, Li Jinglong was helped down by several servants of the Li family. He was almost exhausted. He was sitting in the station, wolfing down water and food. After being hung up for so long, he could not move his hands for the time being. It was all thanks to the Li family. Servant feeds.

"Hurry up, damn you, I'm going to starve to death!"

Li Jinglong cursed while eating, but he did not dare to scold Lan Yu, so he could only scold the Li family's guards.

He cursed and felt very unhappy.

"Ha ha……"

Before Li Jinglong finished eating, Lan Yu came back again.

"Li Jiujiang, see for yourself!"

After Lan Yu finished asking for confirmation, she raised her hand and threw a letter in front of Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong picked up the letter and read it, then stood up suddenly and said: "Impossible, it is impossible for your Majesty to treat me like this."

This is a letter asking Lan Yu to teach Li Jinglong a lesson. Lan Yu took the title of life mentor naturally.

"What's impossible? This is a telegram sent by His Majesty."

Lan Yu hummed softly: "If jade is not polished, it will not become a weapon. His Royal Highness King Qin and Sheng Yong are waiting for us to rescue them. Send my military order to all the soldiers, get off the car, assemble, and set off immediately."

The military order was passed on, and the soldiers who got off the bus gathered outside the station one after another.

When the last train arrived, the army was assembled and rushed directly to the northwest. The army rushed to the battlefield in great strength.

Before Li Jinglong could rest, he had to travel with the army. He wanted to sit in the carriage and sleep, but was driven off by Lan Yu. He had to walk like an ordinary soldier. Li Jinglong's character had to be changed in the same way as an ordinary soldier. , is the simplest and crudest, yet effective.

They had a train on their way, and the time needed to go north was greatly shortened. Now everything is going smoothly.

In addition, when they set off, Ke Tianlang arrived just in time.    ——

Fang Shanyuan.

This is a plain where Wu Jie fought with the Jin soldiers in Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the present Ming Dynasty, Sheng Yong and Zhu Shangbing fought with the Tubo people here. The Ming army was stationed in Majiagou. Passing through this ravine and heading east to Fengxiang, they tried their best to intercept the Tubo people on Fangshanyuan. .

Normally, the Ming army had the advantage in weapons, and it would be easy to defeat the Tibetan army. However, the restrictions on weapons by Zhu Yuanzhang and the Ministry of War caused their firearms and ammunition to be insufficient, allowing the Tibetans to attack all the way.

They were less than 30,000 people and could not stop the Tibetan army of nearly 130,000 people.

We can only retreat all the way, and then assemble the whole army to garrison at Majiagou. We must not let the Tibetans in, otherwise the Weihe Plain will fall. After Fengxiang Mansion and further east, we will reach Xi'an. The strategic significance of holding on here is very important. .

Bianba led the army all the way to the east and hit Fangshanyuan in Fengxiang Prefecture. At this time, he was stationed in Zhangjiashan, also occupying the terrain to camp to prevent the Ming army from sneak attacks.

"At the beginning, the Ming army's firearms were indeed very strong."

"But as we advanced all the way, the Ming army's counterattacks with firearms became less and less frequent. In the end, they gave up their defense lines in many places and retreated all the way here."

"With the power of those weapons, it shouldn't be like this!"

Bian Ba ​​expressed his doubts and was very puzzled.

Rondo said: "Two reasons. One is that it is difficult to make those firearms, and the Ming army does not have many. The other is that the Ming army does not have many firearms and is seriously lacking in quantity. They have to fight and retreat at the same time, and cannot use a large number of weapons." of firearms to repel us."

Both are in small quantities, but the former is a production capacity issue and not many firearms can be manufactured, while the latter is a stock issue and can be replenished at any time through logistics.

"I prefer the former."

Bianba said.

The battle has reached this point, and Tubo has already sent troops. There is no reason to retreat without reason. Even if they can retreat, will the future Ming Dynasty be able to give up?

Will definitely get in.

Rondo said: "I also hope it is the former. The Ming army is stationed in Majiagou. The number is less than 30,000. If we attack again tomorrow, we should be able to capture Majiagou and march to Xi'an."

As long as they reach Xi'an, they can achieve initial victory.

"Have a night's rest."

Bianba said: "We will attack again early tomorrow morning."

They are determined to win the Weihe Plain. Even if they cannot enter Yingtian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, they will capture Guanzhong and then garrison at Tongguan. As long as they can defend it, the Weihe Plain will be their place of Tubo.

-

Majiagou.

When Zhu Shangbing saw that Tubo did not come to attack, he slowly let out a breath and thought it would be fine for the time being.

"Tubo didn't come to attack us. Are we okay for the time being?"

He said.

As long as the Tibetans can delay a little longer, they can wait until reinforcements arrive with ammunition. What is lacking now is ammunition, otherwise the Tibetans would have knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Grandpa Huang is the same. He doesn't even give us enough ammunition."

Zhu Shangbing complained again as he spoke.

Beware of your children and grandchildren as you would be wary of thieves.

If it were not so fortified, the Tubo people would not even have a chance to enter Fengxiang Mansion.

Sheng Yong raised his head and looked outside Majiagou, frowned and thought for a while and said: "It can't be okay. Tubo will definitely attack tomorrow morning, and we may not be able to defend the attack tomorrow. If reinforcements come tomorrow No, Majiagou will probably be lost, and we have to go back to Xi'an to defend it." (End of Chapter)
