Chapter 427 The Battle of the Three Emperors

"Hahahaha, I knew, I knew it would be like this. This is a life-and-death struggle and cannot tolerate a compromise like you!"

Yang Xiangguo walked into Xiong Tingbi's ward with a big laugh...

OK, Xiong Tingbi is not dead.

He was used to wearing breastplate. In fact, the Hongguang Dynasty officials now have this habit. After all, folk firearms are flooded at this time, and no one can guarantee that he would walk on the road while singing a song. Suddenly, there would be a gunshot behind him and then there would be no more. Xiong Tingbi was the same, but the attackers were also very clear, so they used a special hunting gun...

The caliber is the same as the jaw-patterned bird gun, but the barrel is lengthened, the pipe wall is thickened, and the charge is strengthened to obtain a longer linear range to improve accuracy. It is also a flintlock gun.

In fact, it was specially designed to create an accurate shooting version of the smoothbore gun for hunting for nobles.

For these reasons, the kinetic energy of the muzzle is almost close to that of the turtle dove gun, but the bullet weight is only half that of the turtle dove gun.

Extreme penetration.

The back of Xiong Tingbi's special carburized steel breastplate was directly penetrated.

The bullet penetrated his back again, breaking the bones and then penetrated them forward, but fortunately his heart was not affected.

Of course, it is still hard to say whether he can survive.

"The Prime Minister, my subordinates have tried their best. Whether they can survive depends on his life."

The military doctor who has completed the operation said.

This was called from Macheng, but it was not a senior military doctor. After all, the one who arrived in Macheng is only a militia combat brigade, and the military doctor was only at the level of a county-level hospital. However, as a system of trauma treatment training and having a lot of surgical experience, he is already the best trauma doctor Yang Feng can find in a short time. At least it is no problem to disinfect and clean the bones of the wound.

Yang Feng signaled that he could leave.

Then Yang Xiangguo walked to Xiong Tingbi with a deformed copper block...

"Bronze bullet, I'm afraid I won't penetrate your armor."

He said.

The one who shot Xiong Tingbi was a copper bullet.

Balls cast in brass are expensive but their armor-piercing effect is far more than lead-on-supporting bullets.

It has to be said that under his coercion over the years, all forces have been desperately developing their military equipment. After all, compared with soldiers who may be betrayal at any time, better weapons can reassure you.

Weapons have no thoughts!

Although people who use weapons have ideas, soldiers are always more loyal if the weapons are advanced enough to produce a beating effect.

In fact, this kind of bullet appears to shoot Yang Feng, but the problem is that his armor is too thick and the copper bullet cannot be penetrated. However, if it is replaced with steel bullets, it is not easy to make steel bullets. However, it is too difficult to make steel bullets. This is not a copper bullet that can be cast. The current most advanced iron smelting technology cannot obtain cast steel. The smelting steel in various places is obtained by carburizing in various ways...

And it must be forged.

Even Huntsman crucible steel is actually forged in the end. The thing is carburized by iron, then forged, then remelted and forged. In fact, it is to refine the steel made from carburized.

Of course, the key is to obtain molten steel.

As for simple lathes, there were actually pedal lathes in the past, but they were all used to process soft metals, especially jewelry.

The machine tool that carries out steel balls is also a fantasy.

In fact, even if there is a steel bullet, it cannot be used, because the barrel is made of iron, and a hard thing is fired in a soft thing...

The barrel might be ruined all at once.

The dying Xiong Tingbi looked at the copper bullet sadly. Of course, he knew who wanted to kill him. After all, the gentry in Huguang were different. Some of them resisted firmly and some advocated surrender. The struggle between the two factions was fierce, and this uprising completely angered the gentry. They were afraid that even if they surrender, they would inevitably retaliate from the unruly people. In fact, this situation was already true. The Red Turban Army had liquidated the local tyrants and evil gentry to varying degrees. Those who usually exploited the people the most cruelly at this time, even if they were to die, they had to drag others together.

Therefore, the rebellion of the Donglin faction was not accidental, but inevitable.

The more people exploit the most ruthless people, the more they know that they have no room for surrender. In recent years, local tyrants and evil gentry in various places are actually quite ruthless.

Those ordinary gentry were uneasy.

Those who really don’t care about surrender are rare.

As the number one figure in the surrender faction, it is inevitable that he was shot in the black gun, and he was shot in the Wuchang Prefecture City, so that he could blame Yang Feng and use this to arouse the common hatred of the gentry of Huguang.

Yang Feng didn't even let him go, let alone other gentry.

"Isn't it ironic? The person you devoted your efforts to protect has shot black guns behind you. I, the person you regard as your biggest enemy, is trying to save your life. You are enemies with me to protect your hometown, but the people in your hometown are rising up and rebelling and welcome me.

You, who claim to be loyal and righteous, betrayed the real emperor early on.

I, who was called a traitor by you, have been respected from beginning to end to the Ming Dynasty.

Reality is so magical.”

Yang Feng said.

Xiong Tingbi continued to remain silent.

What can he say?

He had nothing to refute, it was all true!

Now he can only lie here, watching this guy laugh at him, at this moment Xiong Tingbi really feels like he is still dead, and there is no need to suffer such humiliation.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Then Yang Feng threw the bullet at him, laughed again and turned around and left.

"Master, the assassin is familiar with the local area, but the city gate is closed, and he shouldn't have escaped."

Zhang Pu said outside.

"No need to look for it, open the city gate and let him leave!"

Yang Feng said.

"Well?"

Zhang Pu looked confused.

But he didn't ask much, and then turned around and ordered.

Xiong Tingbi inside finally lamented.

Of course, he understood Yang Feng's intention, which was to say that he was dead, and those who actually killed him would use this to make a big splash outside, saying that Yang Feng took advantage of his opportunity to negotiate to kill him, so as to destroy him, the Purple Golden Rail of the Sea, which could be said to be the Hongguang Dynasty. Then he angered the gentry from all over the country, or scared the gentry from all over the country, so that they could believe that even if they surrendered, they could not escape death, and made up their minds to fight to the end.

But Yang Feng did this on purpose.

In this way, the gentry of the Hongguang Dynasty was coaxed to resist to the end, and then used it to clean up.

But what can he do? He wanted to go out and tell everyone that all this was a conspiracy, but he couldn't even get out of bed now!

He could only watch these bastards get what they want here.

This is indeed the case for the next situation to develop.

After learning that Xiong Tingbi's death, the Chengtian court did not send envoys to Wuchang to negotiate. At the same time, the Red Turban Army was advancing westward. Xiong Ming, a general of the Dingsheng Army stationed at the Xiaogushan Fortress in Pengze, was angry at the death of Xiong Tingbi. He did not ask Mei Guozhen for instructions and directly opened fire. He also used the Sujiang heavy artillery to attack two Red Turban Army warships. Then the Red Turban Army attacked Xiaogushan Fortress, and the war between Hongguangchao and the Red Turban Army officially began. Then the Red Turban Army in Taihu County crossed the boundary line and began to attack Susong. The Dingsheng Army and Tuanlian outside Huangzhou Prefecture immediately attacked from Xishui to Huangzhou Prefecture.

The group training outside the Wuchang Prefecture City continued to arrive. The loyalists of Huguang, who were angry with Yang Feng's evil deeds in betrayal to kill Xiong Tingbi, vowed to fight the demon to the end.

The Donglin Group emerged again, promoting resistance in various places.

However, Yang Feng in Wuchang Prefecture City continued to explain that Xiong Tingbi was not killed by him, but he just refused to hand over Xiong Tingbi's body. In short, he just explained, and explained it in a very wrong way.

However, the battle in Xiaogushan increased the confidence of the gentry of the Hongguang Dynasty.

Xiong Ming was defending Xiaogushan Fortress to death. The strong attack of a division of the Red Turban Army could not shake the fortress. The fortress of a completely new fortress construction was as solid as a rock...

Guangzhou.

"It's right that you can't defeat it. Even Yang Feng has a headache when he has a new bastion tactic. Unless it takes time and even continues to siege based on years, it will not be opened!"

His Majesty the Emperor said with excitement.

Speaking of the development of the situation in the north, he was really surprised.

In fact, he has been making good news recently, especially his Imperial Camp Navy Admiral Yu Zigao, who just formed a fleet with Li Dan's Nanyang Company, went to Manila to scare the Spaniards, and forced a million taels of compensation from the latter...

The latter had previously refused compensation and tried to clean up the Chinese in Manila, but Li Dan had already established enough armed forces among the Chinese in recent years. The Spaniards' raid failed and the two sides continued to fight in Manila. A clutch from the Nanyang Company quickly returned to Guangzhou for help. His Majesty the Emperor took the opportunity to issue an order to punish the rebels. Li Dan, who was also angry by the Spanish, mobilized more than 50 armed merchant ships in Fujian and Guangdong, and more than 40 warships from the Imperial Camp Navy to drive to Manila.

The Spanish surrendered without hesitation, and their military strength in Manila was simply not enough to resist such an enemy.

Then they paid a million taels of compensation and allowed the Chinese to build a city in Manila to protect themselves.

Of course, this new city belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, His Majesty the Emperor actually harvested a colony in Manila.

Now the war between Hongguang Dynasty and Yang Feng made him feel that his good luck had finally begun.

"Your Majesty, I think it's just a good opportunity to go out to Meiling north, Nangan and Pianyuan, and at this time, when you are in panic, your Majesty is facing it with the might of heaven, so it will be inevitable anyway, let alone Yang Feng occupying Wuchang, which actually separates Jiangxi and Huguang. Your Majesty's army from Jiangxi, how dare the gentry of Jiangxi fight against each other? At that time, Your Majesty takes over the power of Jiangxi and gets the troops of the chieftains of Chuangui in the west, and there are three of them in the world.

What's more, if Your Majesty is in charge of the expedition, the rebels said that Your Majesty was held hostage by his ministers will naturally be defeated without attacking him.

At that time, Your Majesty will clearly order the Hongguang pseudo-chao to cease war with Yingtian, and will issue an order to allow the Lu King to go to the emperor to be punished as a vassal king, and then issue an order to supervise Yingtian as a blessing king.

King Lu must be ordered.

His Majesty's army and the Lu Wang coalition forces threatened, and Ying Tian could only obey the order.

Your Majesty restores the world in one fell swoop.”

Wang Xijue said.

Wanli immediately smiled...
