Chapter 93: Winter melon dipped in black sauce, killing weapon

The letters from the Donglin people "invited" the prince to Nanjing have been received.

This is expected. You can't say that you are the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty, so people rush to admit it. You always have to check the authenticity of the goods.

If you want to go to Nanjing, the prince really doesn’t have the courage.

Even if the prince was young and had a bloody fever, he dared to go to Nanjing with the identity of the Ming Dynasty, the group of school officials would not dare to let the prince take this risk.

After arriving in Nanjing, Emperor Hongguang must have found one or another reason to prove that the prince was a Xibei product. He may chop off the prince's head on the charge of "fake the crown prince" and then continue to be his Emperor Anle.

But it is definitely not possible to not go to Nanjing. If you want to prove your orthodox status and take over half of the Jiangnan area under Emperor Hongguang, your trip to Nanjing is inevitable, and the faster the better.

But how to ensure the personal safety of the prince in Nanjing? You can't bring nearly 10,000 soldiers to the death army to enter Nanjing. Even if the prince has this naive and ridiculous idea, Nanjing will not agree.

Even if Emperor Hongguang's head really gets into water, he will never allow nearly 10,000 troops to enter Nanjing.

On the one hand, he was eager to go to Nanjing to declare his identity as "orthodox Ming Dynasty" to the whole world, but on the other hand, he had many concerns and did not dare to go. The prince and others were still waiting, waiting for Huang Degong to express his position.

Huang Chuangzi had nearly 100,000 troops in his palm (actually 30,000, and in ancient times they had a hobby of many people). Shucheng where everyone was actually his territory. He wanted to use the name of Dayi to obtain support from the Huang tribe and go to Nanjing, but everyone waited but did not show any signs of Huang Degong.

Huang Degong is not in a good relationship with the Hongguang faction now. This is a fact. It is said that at this critical moment when Prince Li Chen, Huang Degong should support the prince. At this time, he will be able to win the prince. In the future, the prince ascended the throne and opened a new dynasty. The master of the first rank cannot be eliminated.

However, Huang Degong was slow to see any movement. He neither sent anyone to identify the authenticity of the prince nor sent troops to recover Shucheng, as if he had no idea what was going on here.

"These pedantic guys," Li Si was very funny at the excessive caution of the people in the East Palace. Huang Degong had no news, so the best news. Even if the prince could not see this due to his experience, those academic officials would not understand this.

Although Huang Degong and Hongguangchao were not very close to each other, it was difficult to express their blatant support for the prince after all, which was equivalent to acquiesceing the prince's behavior.

Those school officials, including Yang Tinglin, have actually seen this clearly. But in their hearts, the prince is always too important. He is not sure enough to send the prince to Nanjing, a "dangerous place".

When the prince went to Nanjing, Hongguang dared not to ask about it? Even if Emperor Hongguang was a bastard, the guys under his command were not as good as such, and he still dared not do such obvious things.

However, Li Si did not mean to advise the prince to be more active. As the current situation develops, they will take action. It is not yet an emergency.

What's more, Li Si was already busy spanking the eggs on his feet, and he didn't have the mood and leisure time to deal with the affairs of the people in the East Palace.

The entire Eastern Palace forces were also busy with their own affairs and had no time to deal with Li Si's various actions.

Severely crack down on the forced division of fields by gentry. All of this is something that the prince and others strongly oppose. But now what the prince has to do is a huge thing, and he cannot free up time and manpower to deal with these things.

Compared with the half of the Jiangnan area of ​​the Nanjing commander, everything that happened in the small county is so small that it is insignificant.

What the prince needs to do is how to replace Hongguang, how to lead millions of soldiers in Jiangnan to recover the rivers and mountains, and where can there be the time to get involved in such small things?

After various reasons were gathered together, Li Si's strategic arrangement was unimpeded.

The morale of the army to die is almost overwhelming now, and even the most conservative people yell at war all day long.

How can I not fight without war? If I don’t fight, I won’t be able to get a land, and if I don’t fight, my wife and baby will not be as good as others’ food. If people who have been tenants for several lifetimes do not fight with war, they will not be able to become landlords, and even if they die, they will not have the face to meet their ancestors underground.

When fighting, you must fight!

As for defeat... there is no one at all.

The soldiers who went to the death in those days were all out of armor, and only a few hundred people wiped out the most elite Manchu armor in the world. After this year's development, the soldiers who went to the death in the death in the scale of 10,000 people, most of them were equipped with leather armor, and various new weapons emerged one after another, making them the most powerful soldiers in the world.

From the time of the Homura team to the present, the army dares to fight and strengthen the army, the army to die will be invincible.

Such morale and equipment have the wisdom of Li Da’s war god like a demon, and even if you want to lose, you can’t lose.

Because the army of the Death has been focusing on the research and development of re-engineering weapons, and this kind of research and development has made statistics on the military achievements, the most intuitive effect is that the army of the Death has the largest new weapon system now.

Especially after occupying Shucheng, we met the conditions that we did not have before, and "scientific research" results emerged one after another like mushrooms after a rain.

Among the various inventions, most of them have no practical significance, but many have positive effects.

Like a landmine.

Landmines were not rare objects in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Qi Jiguang used this thing to equip the army in batches, and it was an extremely advanced pressurized landmine.

After people's careful improvement, the land mines of Qi family as big as small willow baskets are concentrated to the size of winter melons, which are more sensitive. After filling in small iron balls, the killing range is greatly increased.

After testing, although this new mine cannot directly kill heavy-mounted enemies, it can at least cause huge damage and create a terrifying number of wounded soldiers for the enemy.

The enemy who died in battle may inspire the morale of the enemy, but the wounded who wailed and rolled can definitely greatly damage morale and put huge pressure on the enemy's logistics.

On the battlefield, killing an enemy can only reduce the opponent's combat unit. Creating a wounded soldier can free up at least two combat units.

Too cost-effective.

What's more, the most fundamental function of landmines is not to directly kill, but to act as a sluggish and intimidating effect.

Creating minefields at suitable locations can slow down even if they cannot cause any damage to the enemy.

When this improved mine was mass-produced, Li Si personally named it "Botian Fire Thunder".

Very cool name.

However, most of the soldiers who went to the death were illiterate and could not understand the majesty and domineering nature contained in this name. From the perspective of their peasants, this object should be called "Iron Winter Melon".

Soon, the name of "Iron Winter Melon" replaced the "Booming Sky Fire Thunder" that Li Si worked hard to think of.

Another point that is used is the improvement of poisons.

In this era, dipping poison in weapons is very despised and is simply a despicable act.

But Li Si didn't pay so much attention to it, and he didn't want to leave the reputation of "the army of benevolence and righteousness". The fundamental reason for war is how to kill and damage the enemy's vitality.

Simply put, it is: killing people.

Therefore, Li Si encouraged the "little man's behavior" that was not unrestrained and injustice to dip poison in weapons.

The army to die is not a dignified king's army. Whoever pays attention to these things at this time is a complete fool.

Talents are among the people.

The vast masses of people contain infinite wisdom.

There was a very vulgar old man who greatly improved the toxicity of the poison. In the past, he extracted colloidal toxins from animals. This old guy mixed arsenic and colloidal toxins and obtained a poison similar to snake venom after steaming.

This poison is not very toxic, and it is far from reaching the legendary effect of blood-sealing throat.

But this poison has an unexpected effect: the wounds of the poisoned person are difficult to heal.

As far a thousand years ago, especially in the merit defense wars in cities, people began to use gold juice to achieve the same effect. This poison and gold juice are the same effect.

A wound is almost impossible in a short period of time, which means that the wounded soldier is destined to be a wounded soldier, and the possibility of returning to the battlefield is extremely small.

This kind of thing has a poor intuitive effect, but in the long run...

Li Si immediately rewarded the inventor with six hectares of fertile land.
