Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Thinking about this, Yi Ming took the lead in opening the mouth and said: “His Imperial Majesty, the formidable power of the new artillery is so large, it should be equipped by the mercenaries, I beg you to contact them more. If you can get such a huge cannon with formidable power, it is the blessing of His Imperial Majesty, the blessing of my Great Ming, and the blessing of the people.”

To have such a firearm, Zhu Qiyu suddenly became interested, “Is the Minister, can you be sure?”

“His Imperial Majesty, what the mercenaries did was nothing but money that’s all, as long as we promised It should not be difficult to request. After all, there is no conflict of interest between our two parties, and in fact, they have no idea of ​​being an enemy of us. The minister thinks it is feasible.” Yi Ming knew that this moment was not a time for hesitation. The speculation was expressed as reality.

“Okay, that’s the case. Both of you and Minister will be responsible for this matter. Remember, as long as the other party’s request is not too excessive, you can agree to it. “Zhu Qiyu said with brilliance on his face. He even started to imagine what it would be like once he had such a firearm. At that time, he could unify Great Ming and defeat the Imperial Brother Zhu Qizhen, and then he could even go to Wala with this leader personally bringing troops into battle, The shame before Yi Xue was another description and praise in the history books.

As for placing Jin Ying in it, this is also one of Zhu Qiyu’s self-protection methods. After all, the formidable power of artillery is too big, so big that it can threaten your own life at any time. That is to say, such things must and can only be in your own hands, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not sleep well in the future. .

Yi Ming gave a suggestion and talked about the artillery, and Shi Heng, who was kneeling on the other side, also said: “His Imperial Majesty, everything is ready. The minister suggested that the change of defense should be implemented immediately. The sergeants of Datong Mansion, Kaipingwei, Guangningweizhong and the soldiers of the Jingshi will change their defenses. Please His Imperial Majesty’s permission.”

“This is something that was originally discussed, and now Shi Minister said, I’ve gotten it right, so I’ll do it right away.” Zhu Qiyu had already understood clearly in the mind about the sergeant’s change of defense, which had been planned for a period of time. He had thought about it after a while, but now Shi Heng mentioned it. When it’s time, let’s do it now.

Speaking of which, this change of defense is very confidential. Only His Imperial Majesty Zhu Qiyu, Court Eunuch Manager Jin Ying and Marquis of Wuqing Shi Heng know that it is the High Official Yi of the company’s military department. Ming was kept in the dark. Now that he heard the conversation between His Imperial Majesty and Shi Heng, he was also at a loss as he knelt to the side.

Fortunately, Shi Heng threw a look at him, which meant that he would explain this matter later, which made Yi Ming not feel like being excluded from the highest power. .

One is to build a good relationship with the mercenaries and have a deeper contact, and the other is to change the defense of the army. After the two things came to fruition, the discussion about tonight’s fire in the Imperial Palace came to an end. As for what will happen next, let’s just look at the results of tomorrow’s battle before discussing it.

Zhu Qiyu turned around and headed for the bedroom. There is still some time in this fashion, but I can go to bed for a retreat. Jin Ying followed. Shi Heng and Yi Ming left behind and walked backwards out of the Hall of Harmony.

As soon as he left the temple gate, Yi Ming stood upright with his rickety body, and then asked curiously, “Duke Shi, can you tell me more about the change of defense.”

“Hehe, this is natural.” Shi Heng smiled. Once a defense change involves a lot of things, it must be supported by the Ministry of War, and some things must naturally be explained. “In fact, this is nothing more than the casual mention of that’s all by His Imperial Majesty, and I must know that High Official also knows. After defeating the Wara, some people were too famous, and more than 70,000 officers and soldiers were rescued from the Wara army. And most of these people are brave for the soldiers again. They are all in the heart grateful for someone’s great grace. For such an army, does High Official think His Imperial Majesty really dare to use it with confidence?”

“Ah! That’s why His Imperial Majesty decided to switch defenses?” Yi Ming is so smart, and now he thought of the key point in this matter. If once the defense is changed, it will be sergeants from other guards who have not at all received the grace of Duke of Zhongdan, so naturally they can use it with confidence.

“Yes, this time I would rather use money to change defenses against the army. Even before the conscription of the capital was constant, His Imperial Majesty also suppressed vigorously, and it was for this reason. Frankly, those who were forcibly forced Most of the people who are conscripted as soldiers are people who convince someone in their hearts. These people staying in the capital is also a factor of instability. This is the opportunity to get rid of it.” Shi Heng hehe smiled, you Yang Chendong How about being great? After all, the general trend is in the hands of His Imperial Majesty. No matter how many good things you do, you can buy people’s hearts, but once the people are changed, your reputation will gradually fade with time.

I finally understood what was going on, Yi Ming sighed and said, “His Imperial Majesty is a powerful hand, it can be said to be a draw from the bottom. By the way, what happened to Heijing Street? I was still expecting it. They are looking for some trouble, but now it seems that we are just happy again.”

“Let’s do this, after all, we have no loss either…” This is Shi Heng With this voice, the silhouettes of the two gradually disappeared, and finally disappeared before the imperial city…

Time returned to one hour ago.

Heijing Street.

Dark River Gang boss Hu Huaihaizao is in a room with a secret road. What he hears is the information gathered by a’s subordinates. For example, the entire street has been surrounded by people sent by Dali Temple. A water can’t leak, for example, a large number of officers and soldiers are pouring here, etc.

For all this, the second master Wu Yong has already analyzed it, and Hu Huaihai naturally knows it. It is precisely because of this that he was not in a hurry after listening to this, but just nodded his head to show that he knew it, giving people a feeling that everything was within his design, making his men not only more convinced by him.

In fact, Hu Huaihai is also prepared. In the entire Heijing Street, at least more than 500 people in the Dark River Gang made an ambush, plus some outlaws who sought refuge here, and some notorious Rivers and Lakes people. To say nothing, there were thousands of people, and all of them had some skills. Not those ordinary officers and soldiers can deal with.

Besides the geographical advantage, what Duke of Zhongdan wants to deal with will be even more difficult. It is absolutely impossible to do without paying a heavy price. Not to mention that even if the situation is critical, he can leave from the secret road, and then Second Brother Third Brother will take action, so there will be any danger. At this moment, he even saw the scene of Yang Chendong being killed.

With these back-hands and plans, Hu Huaihai at this moment is naturally calm and confident.

But everything was changed because of the roar of cannons that shook the earth.

There seems to be no warning. The evil men in Heijing Street have already prepared a bloody battle at any time, when the officers and soldiers touch the nails, suddenly there is one after another fire in the sky, and then It was a huge sound that could pierce the eardrum of a person.

When everyone did not respond, was still in a daze, and wondered what was going on, huge shells of formidable power fell into Heijing Street. The side of the evil guys suddenly sounded, turning into one after another. The huge air current and fire light swallowed them one by one…

The roar of the cannon broke the recognition of these evil guys. Knowing that when they thought that the Ming army would charge, and they were waiting, the sound of guns from the sky and the formidable power of the cannons that could form several feet around the ground hit all their confidence and self-esteem. Invisible, nothing, nothing.

Hu Huaihai, who was waiting in the room, was also shocked by the sound of the cannon. After more than ten breaths, he woke up like a dream, and the first thing he did was He walked quickly to the secret road entrance, still thinking in his heart, “It’s over, it’s over, everything is over.”

Hu Huaihai’s reaction is not slow, and his body swiftly penetrates into the secret road, just here. In front of the sightless, completely covered artillery, the so-called tunnel is not safe, because at this moment a cannonball fell to the side of the small courtyard, and the powerful shock caused a huge deep pit to appear in the ground. Under such formidable power, the secret road naturally collapsed. This one hand shrouding the heavens in Heijing Street, and even the boss of Dark River Gang, who was impenetrable, was blocked in the secret road. Then a large amount of dust pressed against him, he shouted, yelled, and his hands were stumbling, but none of this could change the fact that he was drowned. The feeling of suffocation spread all over his body. At this moment, there may only be one in his heart. Thought, that is regret. If life could be repeated, he would not choose to offend Duke of Zhongdan.

The sound of the gun sounded and spread far. The team of Old Third Qilu, which was rushing towards Yang Family Village, couldn’t help but stagnate.

Looking back, based on the feeling, you can recognize that the sound of the gun should be in the direction of Heijing Street. He could not help but frowned, but the third Master of fair and reasonable character not at all wanted to stop acting. In his opinion, he lost face before and was hurt in the hands of a small servant. This hatred must be reported. Yes, otherwise, what’s the face? How can you gain a foothold in Rivers and Lakes in the future?

It is this worthless and invisible face that made Qi Lu know that things have changed, but he still has no intention of regressing. He runs with a full 200 Dark River Gang brothers. Yang Family Village, 15 miles south of the capital city.

Yang Family Village Outer Yard.

Battalion Commander Wu Sheng, who was ordered to wait here, said with a look of excitement when he saw bursts of huge fire from the direction of the capital, and bursts of cannons rang in his ears. “Young Master is doing it over there, and then it’s up to our brother. Everyone listen carefully, once an enemy appears, don’t be polite to hit me, until they don’t even know my parents.”
