Chapter 274 The winning trick, forced to launch helplessly
It is not very accurate to say that it was the first time. When attacking the Korchin tribe, the Ming army used similar blasting tactics.
But that time it was just a small city equivalent to a fortress. To break through the Haicheng, Liaoyang, Shenyang and other strong cities, it was obviously not enough to use external blasting alone.
If the external blasting is not fierce enough, then it comes to the internal one. The tunnel blasting is not unfamiliar to the emperor.
During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the "city was like a piece of paper" was made to let the Japanese take a "earth plane" during the Anti-Japanese War, but he just made the tunnel blasting flaws shine hundreds of years in advance.
After continuous exercise and training, the first blasting force in the Ming army, or the world's first blasting force, was born.
The first one, the first one, the emperor could no longer count how many firsts he created.
After Xiong Tingbi finished writing the secret song, he blew the ink marks dry, carefully folded them and put them in the secret song box and locked them, and ordered someone to send them to the capital.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Xiong Tingbi picked up the teacup and drank it. Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ordered someone to summon Wang Hui to come.
Sun Yuanhua volunteered to go to Liao, but the emperor did not allow him to choose someone he could trust to take the Rockets to Liaodong to assist in the battle.
Wang Hui came out in time and became the first commander of the Ming Rockets.
It is not simple to say that Wang Hui is a friend of Sun Yuanhua, and he also joined the teachings. He has a lot of research on Western learning and has written "A Brief Art of the Far West".
Wang Hui participated in the development and exercises of the rocket throughout the process, and his operation was not worse than Sun Yuanhua.
It was not long, so Wang Hui was ordered to come and come in to pay homage to Xiong Tingbi.
"Mr. Wang, don't be too polite." Xiong Tingbi reached out and helped him, and ordered his personal soldiers to serve tea.
After Wang Hui thanked him for his seat, he took a polite sip and waited for Xiong Tingbi to ask.
"When Lord Wang first came, he talked to this official about this Rockets." Xiong Tingbi touched his beard and asked uncertainly: "You said that the range of the Rockets can reach five miles at the farthest?"
Wang Hui bowed and said confidently: "The longest range should be five miles. If it is four to five miles, it will be more accurate."
Xiong Tingbi's eyes flashed, he nodded vigorously, and said, "Mr. Wang, please explain the power of this rocket in detail. This battle with Jianlu may require the power of the rocket."
Wang Hui was also excited and was doing what he came to Liaodong. He just used the rockets for actual combat and made great contributions. Therefore, he was afraid that Xiong Tingbi would not pay attention to the newly built rocket troops.
But seeing that Xiong Tingbi's eyes became brighter the more he listened, Wang Hui's heart was relieved and spoke more excitedly.
"Okay, great." Xiong Tingbi couldn't help clapping his hands, got up and walked indoors for a few steps, staring at Wang Hui and said, "Please be prepared, Lord Wang, the Rockets must be used in this battle. If you defeat Jianlu, you must rely more on it."
Wang Hui hurriedly stood up and bowed to him, without saying much, and left.
Hum, hum, old slave, old slave. I was bombarded by a red barbarian cannon in Ningyuan. This time, I never dreamed that I would be killed again!
Five hundred rockets are enough. Although they are not accurate, the huge Jianlu camp will not be misleading, right?
Xiong Tingbi stroked his beard and looked out the window. The autumn wind was bleak and it was already cold. Early winter was approaching, and this winter, Jianlu was afraid that he would die in a mess in the snow and ice.
……………………………………………….
The autumn wind is bleak and it is already chilling.
Tens of thousands of people emerged from Shenyang, with flags waving and hooves rumbling. Nurhaci, surrounded by generals, followed the central army southward.
Needless to say, Nurhaci himself felt the depression of the atmosphere, which was completely different from the previous army's dispatch.
In the past, when the war against the Ming Dynasty was launched, the Jurchens were very happy, but their slaves also followed with all the big and small vehicles, all wanting to make a fortune and return with victory.
Of course, such joy came out, and what was brought about was not a full return. For example, in the battle of Ningyuan, not only did it not get it, but it was a loss of troops and generals and returned in disgrace.
But this time it was very different. Without everyone's enthusiasm for fighting, it was shrouded in heavy weight and even a tragic tragedy that never returned.
Although the old slaves stayed in Chenyang in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, they did not move the people and blocked a lot of news.
But the embarrassment of reality cannot be concealed. "The price of rice is five taels of silver. Although there is a lot of silver, there is no foreign trade. Therefore, silver is cheap and everything is expensive."
It is difficult to buy food on the market if you have money, and there are also "a good horse, 150 taels of silver, 1 cow, 1 silver, 1 python satin, 1 silver, 1 cloth, 7 taels of silver."
Although the Later Jin Dynasty was very powerful in war, its productivity was only equivalent to the early stage of feudal society, or even the primitive society.
The production mode is backward and the productivity level is low, and the ability of Later Jin to grow depends entirely on the method of "fighting to support war".
Over the past few years, the Later Jin Dynasty really didn't grab anything, but instead suffered a lot of losses.
However, the economic blockade of the Ming Dynasty became increasingly tight, and the Korqin tribe, an ally of the Later Jin Dynasty, was destroyed. It was not surprising that the fragile economy of the Later Jin Dynasty collapsed.
Of course, Nurhaci and others didn't know what an "economic crisis" was, but they knew that if they didn't launch it at this time and win a victory, the situation would deteriorate to an uncontrollable level.
Fushun's prince Li Yongfang rode slowly with a expressionless face. He was no longer Nurhaci's confidant, and he was also far away from Nurhaci's side.
Fan Wen Chengzhu was behind Li Yongfang, his face was heavy and his mind was not in his mind.
At some point, Li Yongfang slowed down his horse speed, narrowed the distance with Fan Wencheng, and suddenly said slowly: "Xiandou, the other side of the Si Beile--"
Fan Wencheng glanced around from the corner of his eyes, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, my husband, I have sent someone to notify me."
Li Yongfang nodded and stopped talking. After a while, he sighed and said in a low voice: "Mingguo is really a giant. Even if he wins this battle, it will not be a little more relaxed. It is too difficult to reverse the situation."
Fan Wencheng sighed with emotion and said, "Maybe the energy has not yet been exhausted, a wise king has emerged for hundreds of years, but it is just at this time."
Li Yongfang smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "You can indeed be called a wise king. God's will, God's will..."
The old slave betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and the Jianlu were rampant for a while; the Ming army was defeated repeatedly, and almost all Liaodong fell.
In such a situation, Jianlu's bravery was only one aspect. The most important thing was the corruption of the Ming Dynasty, the party struggles in the court, the corruption of the bureaucrats, and the foolishness of the emperor.
In feudal society, the importance of an emperor to a country is self-evident. A wise monarch can prosper the country, while a foolish monarch can also defeat the country, or even destroy the country.
From Wanli to the short-lived Taichang, to the first or two years when the carpenter emperor had just ascended the throne. Although there was a time when Xiong Tingbi was used to suppress the rise of the Jianli, there were still more party struggles, and those who were in charge of Liaodong were replaced.
Chaos, chaos! Not specialized in employed people, improper employment, insufficient food and salary, and no desire to fight...
These internal problems are always difficult to solve. Although the Ming Dynasty was big, it was big and weak, and it was big and scattered. The bigger it was, the more difficult it was to unite and unite to the outside world.
It can be said that Jianlu's continuous victory and gradual strength were based on the mistakes of Ming Dynasty.
