Chapter 292 When the Iron-blooded Army showed its fangs
Upon hearing this, Chongzhen frowned slightly and said, "Come on the report!"
The eunuch, the closest servant, immediately went down, received the report, and delivered it to Chongzhen.
He opened it, looked at it, his face became even more gloomy, and said, "I'll tell you to all the ministers!"
The eunuch in the near-servant chanted loudly:
"Report to Your Majesty,
Today, Huang Taiji, the Later Jin Dynasty, led 250,000 elite Eight Banners, had already conquered several cities in the Ming Dynasty, and several generals were shocked by the strength of Huang Taiji's military strength and surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty.
Now that we are in Liaodong, there are only less than 120,000 troops left, and we cannot resist the elite troops of the Later Jin Dynasty at all. We can only give up some cities and defend important military centers.
Also, please send troops quickly to reinforce Liaodong!
Otherwise, I am afraid that these important military cities will not be able to be kept for a long time!
Hundreds of thousands of times!”
When the eunuchs in the court finished their memory, the ministers in the court were furious.
"This Later Jin Huang Taiji is so arrogant!"
"Your Majesty, what are the generals in Liaodong doing? Huang Taiji lost so many cities just after attacking!"
"I'm so angry that I'm so angry. The Ming Dynasty was so bullied by these Later Golden Dog Thieves!"
"Your Majesty, it's better to allocate funds from the treasury general, recruit local troops, and send troops to support Liaodong!"
“…”
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen stood up and said, "Okay, stop me!"
When the ministers heard this, they shut up.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet who had not spoken, and said, "Super Zhang, what do you think about this?"
"Your Majesty, Liaodong is too important to our Ming Dynasty, not far from the capital. If Liaodong is conquered by Huang Taiji, there will be no danger before Shanhaiguan.
Once Shanhaiguan is broken, Huang Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty can march straight into the city and threaten my capital!
Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty immediately allocate funds and mobilize local troops to go north to support Liaodong, and will definitely defeat the Later Jin Huang Taiji!" Zhang Juzheng stood up.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his face nodded gloomy.
He knew that what Zhang Juzheng said made sense.
There must be no loss in the capital, this is the heart of the Ming Dynasty!
If the capital city is stable, it is necessary to stabilize Liaodong.
It seems that all the millions of taels of silver in the treasury are going to be spent, and I have to live a tough and hard life!
Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "Immediately allocate 4 million taels of silver, and ordered Zuo Liangyu and the four towns in Jiangbei to allocate 40,000 troops, a total of 200,000 troops to go north to Liaodong to fight against the Later Jin Huang Taiji."
...
At this moment, Crown Jun Ye Huai was not in the court.
Recently, he has been staying in the military camp, urging and training the two thousand iron-blooded soldiers.
After spending tens of thousands of bullets, the two thousand iron-blooded soldiers all became extremely accurate in their marksmanship.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, dozens of Iron Blood Army soldiers used rifles to shoot, all hitting the shooting targets, all at the eight rings, nine rings, and ten rings.
Ye Huai nodded with satisfaction.
The Iron Blood Army is also more and more fond of this rifle.
Rifles are a hundred times better than muskets:
The musket can only fire one round and then continue to load, while the rifle can load five rounds at one time;
If a musket fires a few rounds of bullets, it must cool down, otherwise the chamber will explode. The rifle can shoot many bullets continuously, so there is no need to worry about the chamber explosion;
The ballistics of the musket are very unstable and the shooting accuracy is not high, but the ballistics of the rifle are very stable and the accuracy is several orders of magnitude higher than that of the musket;
In terms of power, rifles are much larger than muskets.
In addition to rifles, Ye Huai also practiced grenade throwing exercises on the Iron Blood Army.
The power of the grenade is also amazing.
At this moment, a guard ran over and whispered a few words in Ye Huai's ear.
The guards told him what happened in the court today.
After Ye Huai learned that Liaodong was in a hurry, he was full of fighting spirit, and a solemn look appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "It's time for the iron-blooded army to show its fangs when raising troops for a thousand days!"
Then, he said in a deep voice: "The Iron Blood Army gathered!"
...
Half an hour later, Ye Huai was wearing a domineering armor, holding a domineering gun, carrying a golden rifle (specially made by Lu Ban for him), rode a black horse, and led 2,000 iron-blooded troops straight to Liaodong with Hu Che.
Ye Huai did not respond to the call and went out privately to Liaodong.
If he wants to consolidate the Ming Dynasty, he must deal with Huang Taiji and the Later Jin Dynasty.
This time, it's an opportunity.
...
The news that Ye Huai led the Iron Blood Army to Liaodong reached Chongzhen's ears one hour later.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned and said worriedly:
"This sage is becoming more and more distorted!
The Later Jin Huang Taiji was fierce, extremely cunning, and had 250,000 elite troops.
He is not the opponent's opponent, he is so confused!
I will immediately pass on my decree and ask Wanger to come back immediately, otherwise I will definitely punish him severely!”
Immediately, my father-in-law rushed to chase Ye Huai and his party.
...
Early the next morning.
Ye Huai led the Iron Blood Army and had already traveled for hundreds of miles. The army stopped, ate some dry food, and after a short rest, he was ready to continue his journey.
Soldiers are very fast!
Ye Huai knows this truth well!
In order to build this iron-blooded army, he spent a lot of money. Even the dry food was beef jerky, pork jerky, and fried instant noodles.
Yes, it is instant noodles, which are made by Ye Huai as a staple food for dry food.
In addition, each person is equipped with a large leather bag of liquor. The weather in the north becomes cooler, and liquor can keep the cold.
The Iron Blood Army has a terrifying combat power, but its consumption is also amazing. If it cannot guarantee sufficient nutrition, it will be trained to become disabled.
Beef jerky, pork jerky and other meats can provide enough nutrition to the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army.
Tattata!
At this moment, there was a crisp sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
Hu Che and others, who were originally eating dry food, immediately became alert and loaded bullets and picked up rifles.
However, they soon relaxed and saw a father-in-law coming with several royal guards.
"Crown Prince receives the order!" the father-in-law shouted quickly.
Because, he sensed the amazing murderous aura.
Ye Huai raised his hand and signaled Hu Che and others to put down his rifle.
The father-in-law came to Ye Huai and read loudly: "The Emperor of Fengtian Chengyun Zhaori will be ordered to return to the capital immediately, otherwise he will be severely punished!"
Ye Huai knew that this was Chongzhen, the father, who cared about him and was afraid that he would be in danger when he went to Liaodong.
However, Ye Huai will never go back, he has his mission.
Ye Huai said:
"Father-in-law, I will not accept this imperial edict!
Please go back and tell your father that the Later Jin Emperor Taiji occupied my mountains and rivers and slaughtered my people. If it is not destroyed, the palace will be unable to calm down!
If you do not destroy the Later Jin Dynasty, I will not return!"
Every word of his words is sonorous and awe-inspiring!
"I will never return if I do not destroy the Later Jin Dynasty!!!" The iron-blooded soldiers who followed Ye Huai also shouted.
When the decree heard this, he did not persuade Ye Huai, but nodded heavily, with a look of admiration on his face and said:
Chapter completed!
