Chapter 236 Zhu Youlang's trump card seeks the moon
Where did the Qing army get this kind of artillery?
As the director of the European Firearms Museum, Zhu Youlang knew very well that the artillery used by the Qing army now was not a red-clothed cannon, but a Thai-style cannon.
Strictly speaking, this is a Frankie cannon.
The Frankie people that the Qing army could contact now should be the Portuguese in the Fujie Realm of Guangdong, so these cannons should be obtained from the Portuguese...
Zhu Youlang immediately understood.
This is not the cannon of the Jiangxi Green Camp soldiers, but Shang Kexi's cannon!
Seeing that the red-clothed cannon could not suppress the Ming army, Hong Chengchou wanted to use Shang Kexi's Portuguese cannon to put out the fire.
But this is too small, Zhu Youlang?
After all, Zhu Youlang still has a trump card in his hand at this moment, that is Shang Zhixin!
"Come here, bring Shang Zhixin up! And those Shang family soldiers and prisoners!"
During the Battle of Yichun, the Shang family army suffered heavy casualties. Half of the soldiers of the family were killed in battle, and the rest were tied up by the Ming army and moved forward with the army.
Considering that these Shang family soldiers and Shang Zhixin were of great value, Zhu Youlang did not order them to be executed.
Isn't the value reflected now?
With the order from His Majesty the Emperor, the Ming soldiers immediately pushed out the soldiers of the Shang Zhixin family.
But they were all tied up and were extremely inconvenient to move.
These guys were pushed near the chest wall by Mingjun, and they were all trembling.
In this case, it is impossible not to tremble.
After all, artillery fire hit them from time to time.
A Frankie shell exploded a few steps near Shang Zhixin. Shang Zhixin was so scared that he fell back subconsciously. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Father is me, it's me! Don't beat him anymore, don't beat him anymore!"
The soldiers of the Shang family army also shouted.
"Prince, don't beat me again!"
They were tied up and knew that they could not escape, so they placed all their hopes on Shang Kexi.
They hope that the old prince can stop beating for the sake of His Royal Highness.
Isn’t it good for them to return to Guangdong to live their own lives peacefully?
Shang Kexi, who was opposite, didn't notice it at first, but he didn't feel a beat in his heart when he saw the familiar flag.
Isn’t that the flag of his Shang family army?
Gradually he discovered that there were many tied people standing in front of the Ming army camp.
Although I can't see clearly, it is obvious that these are prisoners.
"Get my telescope."
When he was in Guangdong, Governor Frankie gave Shang Kexi a monocular telescope.
Shang Kexi liked it very much, so he carried the telescope with him.
The telescope that went to Jiangxi has not left.
Shang Kexi ordered his personal soldiers to take the telescope immediately.
"Prince, I'll give it to you."
Shang Kexi grabbed the telescope and then squinted his eyes to look.
The person in front of him instantly magnified several times, and he could clearly see the ropes tied to these people.
From their expressions, we can see that they are very panicked.
During the movement, Shang Kexi suddenly discovered the person standing in front. This person was his son Shang Zhixin!
Although Shang Zhixin was covered in dust, undressed face, and disheveled hair, Shang Kexi recognized him at a glance.
After all, this is his son!
At this moment, I can still cry in my tears.
My son is not dead, my son is not dead!
This is his carefully trained successor and the heir to Wang Jue!
It would be great if my son wasn't dead!
"Stop fighting, what else to beat! Stop!"
Shang Kexi instinctively shouted.
If you continue to bombard like this, your baby son will be killed directly!
Under Shang Kexi's order, the artillery of the Shang family army immediately stopped.
This round of cannon bombardment came to an abrupt end, which surprised Hong Chengchou.
"What does Wang mean?"
"Jingluo Hong, my king's son is not dead yet! You can't beat him anymore, otherwise he will be killed."
He did not hide from Hong Chengchou Shang Kexi.
In his opinion, Hong Chengchou could understand.
Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou sneered: "Wang Yingming, how could he be confused at the critical moment? The prince has died in battle, how could he be alive?"
"Jingluo Hong, how can there be falsehoods when I saw it with my own eyes? This Thai telescope can magnify objects several times. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "What kind of telescope is simply nonsense. In addition, the army only needs to find someone who looks like the prince to stand in front of the army to be confused. Wang Sizi is eager to think that it is your son."
Shang Kexi saw that Hong Chengchou was unwilling to do anything and refused to admit that Shang Zhixin was still alive, and he became a little anxious for a moment.
"What does Hong Jinglei mean? Do you think I'm already confused?"
"This strategy thinks that the king should cheer up and put the overall situation first."
Shang Kexi already understood after hearing this.
Hong Chengchou didn't care about Shang Zhixin's life or death at all.
Or Hong Chengchou wished Shang Zhixin was dead.
In this way, Shang Kexi can devote himself to the battle and no longer have any worries.
But Shang Zhixin is alive now, so Hong Chengchou could only insist that what Shang Kexi saw was an impersonator!
Haha, what a cruel old man!
After seeing through Hong Chengchou's true thoughts, Shang Kexi already had a scheming in his heart.
No matter what, he cannot ignore his son's safety, not to mention that there are thousands of family soldiers.
If he ordered the bombardment to kill these soldiers in his family, what would the other soldiers think?
Those veterans who followed him all the way would be heartbroken, right?
Shang Zhixin is a person who values emotions very much, and he cannot ignore everything.
After thinking about it, Shang Kexi still said to Hong Chengchou: "I can't fight this battle in Hong Jinglei anymore. We must first cease the battle."
Hong Chengchou was stunned when he heard this.
What does it mean?
Is this to blatantly disobey his orders?
At least Hong Chengchou is nominally the commander of the three armies.
Shang Kexi's open rejection of him was a slap in the face!
Hit him Hong Chengchou's face means hitting the court and the emperor's face.
He, Hong Chengchou, can be shameless, but the emperor and the court cannot be shameless!
"You must think clearly, Wang! Do you know what you are talking about?"
Hong Chengchou is now somewhat convinced of what Zhang Chaolin said to him last night.
Perhaps from the beginning, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao did not want to really contribute.
The two led their troops to reinforce Jiangxi only under the pressure and form.
Actually, they just want to pretend.
This was fully demonstrated after Shang Kexi learned that his son was not dead!
Shang Kexi actually refused to start the war and demanded a temporary suspension!
The arrow has to be fired on the string, how could it be stopped?
What's more, what if Hong Chengchou stopped and Ming Jun kept doing it?
Could it be that Hong Chengchou watched the Ming army beat him but did not fight back?
This really angered him!
