Chapter 135: Good Reminder

After Qian'an, Luanzhou was Luanzhou, and the Later Jin swept across the eastern part of Zhili in the north. Zu Kefa defended Funing to the death. Later Jin could not get Funing and turned to Shanhaiguan, and camped thirty miles away. In the Ming Dynasty, when mentioning this trip to Shanhaiguan, there was only one sentence: "Deputy General Weixian and others fought hard."

Just like this, Huang Taiji turned around and went southeast, Changli, guarded and Leting. After reading Ming History, it made people puzzled some scenes. These three cities are not considered big cities, but only at the same level as the county town. However, they were defended and defended because of resistance.

Are the enemies really that powerful?

In Chen Xie's mind, the bullshit "Juchen is invincible". Looking through the history of the Ming Dynasty, who were the people who conquered the Ming Dynasty for "My Qing Dynasty"? Interestingly, many of these people published a book during the Qianlong period, called "Biography of the Two Ministers". These people are destined to be infamous for thousands of years! It is impossible not to say that this is a great victory of the traditional moral system of Chinese civilization! Even rulers like Qianlong had to compromise in the face of this cultural system and moral system.

Cao Huachun, who returned to Beijing, naturally had to go to work. The dusk of Wenhua Palace was dark and cold. Zhu Youjian, who was in front of the desk, hunched his waist and carefully reviewed the memorials. When Wang Chengen reported in a low voice, Zhu Youjian put down his pen and smiled rarely, saying, "Xuan."

Cao Huachun came in and knelt down, Chongzhen waved his hand: "Get up and talk, how did Chen Sihua answer?" After Cao Huachun got up, he began to report in detail, and the last paragraph naturally had to be omitted.

As Cao Huachun told the story, the expression on Chongzhen's face became vivid and his eyes were extremely focused. Hearing that a musket cost 500 taels of silver, he couldn't help sighing: "Chen Sihua, thousands of team training are probably going to exhaust his family's resources."

Cao Huachun added in time: "From his opinion, there are only a few thousand people, but they can maintain it. If there are more, they can't hold on."

"You can't let down the hearts of heroes! Haha, you need a set of tea sets as a family heirloom. Although this person was not born in the Ming Dynasty, his heart was towards the Ming Dynasty and the king and father. Wang Cheng'en, you can send someone to him about the tea sets." Wang Cheng'en responded, and Cao Huachun smiled and said, "Long live the emperor. As a servant, Chen Sihua made great contributions. It's better to reward him with an official position. He doesn't want to leave Dengzhou, so he will be an official in Dengzhou. He is not so particular."

Chongzhen couldn't help laughing and said, "Old slave, even if Chen Sihua neglects you, he can't plot against others like this, right?"

Cao Huachun quickly knelt down and said, "The servant only has the heart of the emperor. As long as the talents who can be used by the emperor, they must find a way to stay for the emperor. The servant must not dare to have selfish intentions in this matter."

Wang Chengen secretly whispered beside him. It would be strange if he had no selfishness. You have been paid by others, right? You have been talking good things for Chen Sihua in circles. It is beneficial to Long Live. Who can pretend to be confused?

"Let's talk about this later." Zhu Youjian's attitude was not obvious, but he was obviously moved. Cao Huachun took a tactful retreat, and after he came out, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that this was worth 30,000 taels of silver.

At the Tianjin Wharf, Zhang Keda brought his hands to receive the food and wages transported from sea. With this little trick, he stayed in Tianjin for nearly ten days. Alas, he was about to be unable to rely on it. Being greedy for life and fear of death is almost the common feature of the Ming Dynasty military officers. Even if Zhang Keda was not afraid of death, his subordinates would not follow him to die. When Dengzhou City was broken by Kong Youde in history, Zhang Keda killed his concubine and hanged himself. In general, this is a military officer with some integrity.

If it weren't for this, Chen Xie wouldn't have given so much food at the beginning.

There were many sea boats on the dock, and there were only a few dozen sea boats under the banner of Dengzhou Navy. The other dozens of sea boats were hired by the United Trading Company. Standing by the dock and watching a large number of supplies being transported and disembarked by a unique boom of the United Trading Company, some generals around Zhang Keda's eyes were red.

"The general, all of them are soldiers. Look at them..." A subordinate was glared back by Zhang Keda's eyes as soon as he spoke, and he also gave a lesson: "Don't make up these things. You don't know why we can stay in Tianjin these days and have not been scolded by the Ministry of War."

As he was talking, the sound of horse hooves sounded behind him. When Zhang Keda looked back, he immediately showed a "sincere" smile.

"Hahaha, Sihua, I finally waited for you." Zhang Keda made a voice after he was still ten steps away.

Chen Xie also showed a "sincere" smile, turned over and stepped forward, bowing and bowing: "Sir, I'm waiting for reinforcements to be like a drought, I finally see you." This was very intimate, but it didn't seem like good things to say. When Zhang Ke was a little embarrassed, he saw Chen Xie following the team. In addition to the two teams of green-skinned team training, there were also a bunch of soldiers carrying white wax poles.

Zhang Keda trembled slightly. It took so long since I saw each other, and the momentum of these green-skinned groups was completely different. They used to look very neat, but now they still look so neat, but an oppressive momentum is very obvious. Tianjin is not far from Tongzhou, but he heard that Chen Xie fought a battle under the city of Tongzhou. After seeing the bloody green-skinned groups, the change was so great?

The leader of the Baigang soldier who was sent to Chen Xie was Ma Xianglin, who snatched this job. For nothing else, just to eat better, and then go to the medical staff to get some alcohol and water to drink.

Liu Qing, who was far away, also saw Chen Xie's banner and immediately came over with a group of maritime merchants. These people all made great efforts this time. Liu Qing must let Chen Xie know who is a reliable ally.

Although Zhang Keda is the deputy general, he is not very awesome in the face of these maritime merchants. Liu Qing, who was walking in front, didn’t have much money, Li Heng and others were all the main leaders of how many big bosses were standing behind them. Otherwise, the maritime ban in the Ming Dynasty would be a decoration?

After meeting, Zhang Keda was polite, and Zhang Keda did not show off as a general. Just a magistrate in Tianjin dared to keep him out. The military generals of this period were nothing, especially in Tianjin, which was far away from the war. In fact, the distance was not far, but civil officials had this virtue. Too many people would not shed tears without seeing the coffin. Usually, they did not treat military generals as humans, and they had to work hard when fighting. This phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty was too strange.

Although he gathered a large number of laborers to ship the goods, there were too many goods this time and it was endless to ship them in one day. Chen Xie ordered the troops to set up camps and hosted banquets in the camp to entertain all the sea merchants and a group of Dengzhou camp generals.

The wine was transported from Dengzhou. Chen Xie and Zhang Keda had a table alone, and no one called him. Ma Xianglin and a group of military generals from Dengzhou camp fought with each other. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Zhang Kedacai whispered: "Sihua, I have heard of the battle in Tongzhou."

Chen Xie smiled but said nothing, Zhang Keda was anxious. The young man in front of him could be said to be changing every day. From the first doctor to the top-ranking wealthy family in Dengzhou, there is still a team of team training that can be played, which is not the leader Zhang Keda will take any more.

"Jiannu just did that, and he shot him, and he still had two eyes in front and back." Even if Chen Xie took a casual sentence, Zhang Keda dared not dare, so he quickly said, "Sihua, do you have news from the east? I heard that Luanzhou has been captured, and the Later Jin is besieging Leting and Changli. If these two counties fall, the tip of the Later Jin sword will hit Tianjin's throat."

"You and I shouldn't worry about this matter. Dengzhou Camp should go to the capital quickly. Don't look back and want to leave, you can't even leave." Chen Xie reminded with kindness, and Zhang Kedashen agreed. It was the matter in front of him that the magistrate of Tianjin would not allow him to enter the city. If the Later Jin Dynasty really wants to take Changli, do you still let you leave? At that time, Tianjin was much more dangerous than the capital.

"Thank you, Sihua, I will send troops to the capital tomorrow morning." Zhang Keda was still very eye-catching. Chen Xie said again: "When you arrive in Tongzhou, there will be the governor of Baoding. Stay there, don't move the place, and if there is any problem, a big guy will carry it."

"I've been taught!" Zhang Keda bowed and thanked again. Chen Xie smiled and began to change the topic. If history did not change much, Huang Taiji would go back to attack the Sanhe area. Haoge rushed to Xianghe and cut off the canal. It created an opportunity for Huang Taiji to retreat calmly and create an opportunity. In fact, even if Haoge did not attack Xianghe, the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty would retreat, and the Ming army would only watch. At this time, the situation on the front line of Shanhaiguan was not known at all. We had to wait until the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty retreated, and the Sun Cheng sect killed his soldiers along the coast. News came out. Knowing that the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty had left, a group of Ming troops dared to move.

The 200,000 army bullied Huang Taiji and left more than 15,000 left by him, so he had some courage. It was also considered a strange flower in the history of world wars.

After drinking and eating, Zhang Keda led his troops to bid farewell and prepared to go on the road overnight. Chen Xie was not idle. The equipment needed for the five hundred white-rod soldiers was shipped with the ship this time. The 200 rifle and 800 simplified plate armor were all tailor-made for the white-rod soldiers.

Chen Xie planned to use the plate armor for his own regiment and let the blacksmiths practice it. Unexpectedly, after the second battle, Chen Xie found that the plate armor might not have any room to play. As soon as the white pole soldiers appeared, he had a place to use it again.

The simplified version of the plate armor is actually an arched steel plate and an iron helmet. The requirements are not high, just block the front. This thing is sold in anti-spike suits, relying on long-distance firepower strikes, and it is not useful at all. The white-rod soldiers are different. 400 people wear plate armor to protect the 100 musketeers in the middle. This is the Ming version of the Spanish square formation.

The Spanish phalanx has withstood the test of history. The Spanish swept across Europe with this and achieved great hegemony. In short, if the White Rod Soldier plays this well, it will definitely be the "My Qing Dynasty". (To be continued...)
