Infinite Blood God

.

spn modern firearms have shown their power on this ancient battlefield.Centralized and highly effective strikes have caught many in this era off guard.

The damage caused by a submachine gun is almost equivalent to the effect caused by 30 to 40 muskets firing simultaneously in this era.

Although the target killed was insignificant to the entire battlefield, the powerful oppression was just right to contain the local forces of the enemy in the fierce battle for the city.

but……

Although Zhang Wang's submachine gun caused strong suppression to the Bailian believers several times.However, the numerical disadvantage of the Ming army itself was gradually reflected in the battle. [

After fighting repeatedly for nearly an hour, a section of the city wall was completely breached by the White Lotus Cultists. Some White Lotus Cultists rushed into the city directly along the stairs, and the two sides formed a more complicated staggered state.Red and white glued together, forming a large number of melee battlefields on the battlefield.

As time went by, the Ming army, which had gradually fallen into a disadvantage, gradually shrunk into several regiments, which were the Ming army of 600 people surrounding the city gate, the Ming army of 400 people on a section of the city wall, and others with a hundred or more people. Dozens of people are scattered in the Ming army scattered in various places.

Although the forces of the White Lotus Sect have occupied many sections of the city wall at this time, because the city gate has not been breached for a long time, a large number of White Lotus Sect members have no way to quickly enter the city.

For a while, the battle situation seemed a bit stalemate.

During the scuffle, Zhang Wang glanced at the gradually darkening sky, and a smile that no one else could understand appeared on the corner of his mouth...

……

June.

Even in the north of the Ming Dynasty, it was already a midsummer scene. Although it was cool in the morning and evening, it was already scorching hot for most of the day.

In recent years, there has been a lack of rain in most areas of the entire Ming Dynasty, which has also led to the bankruptcy of a large number of farmers who were struggling to survive under the exploitation of local governments, and became tenants of wealthy families or even directly reduced to domestic slaves.

The White Lotus Sect took advantage of the situation, and there were like clouds of followers.

Under the sudden change of the situation, even the decaying and dark capital of Ming Dynasty felt heavy pressure and threat.Although the ministers in the court are mostly parasites who desperately suck the blood of the country for the benefit of the family, but at this time they also understand that if this white lotus traitor wins the world, their families will probably die So clean, he was sent to the [-]th floor of hell by the new ruler!

Therefore, in recent days, the atmosphere in the morning court has become much more solemn and rigorous.

"His Majesty, please mobilize half of Shanhaiguan's elite frontier troops to fight the rebellion south!" said a minister Shangshu.

Emperor Zhengde glanced at this person, and immediately heard the information about this person's background... an official whose family was in the Central Plains.

He was born as a Jinshi in the seventh year of Zhengde, and at this time the White Lotus Sect was sweeping the Central Plains, so he couldn't sit still.Naturally, he tried his best to encourage the imperial court to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion.

There are many ministers from the Central Plains, so naturally they all agreed at this time.

At this time, Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out more and more: "Report to the emperor. I think this is inappropriate!".

"Master Chen, what's wrong with this imminent fire?! Hurry up and mobilize the army to put down the rebellion is the right thing to do!" A minister jumped out and scolded.

Chen Xinjia frowned and looked at this person: "Do you know the movements of the Eastern captives outside the Guan at this time?!". [

Donglu, in the Ming Dynasty, refers to the three Jurchen forces that are gradually rising in the Northeast, Beishan Jurchen, Xihai Jurchen, and Jianzhou Jurchen.

Even in a mutated time and space, the Donglu and the Mongols in the north called Beilu are still the greatest enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

For counselors who really understand the general trend of the world, in fact, although the White Lotus Sect seems to be huge now.But in fact, it was just a scabies disease in front of my eyes.

For Daming, the real life-and-death enemy that consumes a lot of national power every year to guard against is still the Jurchens in the Northeast.

Although compared to the Jurchen, which has a combined strength of only 25, which the White Lotus Sect now claims to have millions of "religious people", it seems that the number of soldiers is small, but the actual combat power is far from being able to compete with it, whether it is the White Lotus Sect or the Ming Dynasty. of.

The previous major defeats over the years have already shown that it is absolutely impossible to defeat the Jurchen with a numerical advantage alone.

Chen Xinjia knew that if it weren't for the obstruction of the Xiongguan Jiancheng in Shanhaiguan, the Jurchens might have attacked the city of Beijing long ago.At this time, for the safety of their own families, these ministers actually wanted to mobilize the frontier army to guard against the Eastern captives. Chen Xinjia, who was the Minister of the Ministry of War, naturally could not agree.

Emperor Zhengde also naturally understood this, although he was arrogant and domineering when he was young.He has done many absurd things, but he has never been confused about this important military matter.

At this time, he had already seen clearly the situation in the world.Naturally, he understood the small calculations in the minds of these ministers.Naturally, it is impossible to risk shaking the country to mobilize the frontier army to help protect the shit family of these ministers!

However, these ministers are powerful after all.

Their opinions cannot be completely ignored. Besides, although the White Lotus Sect does not have the power to overthrow the dynasty at this time.But if it is allowed to develop, the situation in this world will change drastically in a year and a half.

So, after pondering for a moment, Zhengde said slowly: "The strong army on the nine frontiers must guard against the eastern and northern captives. This is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. Don't move lightly!".

"However... the Bailian rebels have swept across the Central Plains at this time. Although not too many big cities have been captured, if they are allowed to develop, they will ensnare the people. I am afraid that their power will become stronger... pass on my word of mouth!".

"Order the Tianxia Guards to expand the conscription! Commanders from all over the country have the right to conscript, collect food, and enclose land! But they cannot use the power beyond the border! They can only exercise their rights within their jurisdiction. They are responsible for chasing and encircling the local Bailian rebels! The rebellious bandits are powerful, and the commanders from all over the country are allowed to command flexibly and stick to the county castle. The confrontation with the rebel bandits is long-term."

"Order all counties and cities in the world to have the right to organize the people to be strong and brave! All localities prepare their own defenses, and they can raise their own armaments and military salaries to guard against the white lotus!".

"Finally...recruit talents! Those who are capable of writing and martial arts all over the world can participate in the defense of various places. After verifying their abilities, officials below the county level will be appointed and dismissed by the county. If they have made meritorious service, they must be reported and can be promoted exceptionally! Or military officer!".

Three orders were issued in a row, respectively loosening the shackles and restrictions of the army, the local government, and those capable people and strangers dormant among the people.

It can be said that these three decrees came out.

Although it doesn't mean that the Ming army will become a strong army overnight.But at the very least, there will be a large number of officers who will make their troops larger and more elite.

After the counties in various places have the right to armaments, they are no longer vulnerable.

Those who can't take the traditional imperial examination route and become officials can also take advantage of the situation, and rely on their ability to climb to a position that they could not climb in their entire lives step by step.

Of course, these decrees also have some side effects-while giving all parties great autonomy, they can also be regarded as letting go of the ropes that restrict places. [

It would be fine if the Bailian rebels were suppressed in a short period of time.

Once time drags on for a long time, it will inevitably produce some huge warlords and local forces.If it is not done well, it will repeat the situation of the eighteen princes fighting in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, Emperor Zhengde seemed to have the confidence to control the situation in the world.Sitting high above the temple, holding a pair of wisdom beads, it feels as stable as Mount Tai.
