    "Fuck me!"

    At midnight, south of the capital, the Jurchens began to attack.

    They drove the eight thousand selected surrender troops and began to attack the city in the south.

    For three days, the Jurchens had been silent outside the city, which made the Ming army stationed here think that the Jurchens might not launch an attack.

    However, now the ruthless reality has broken their illusions, and the legendary fierce Jurchens have begun to take action.

    In the eyes of those merchants from Liaodong, the Jurchens are vicious and murderous beings without blinking an eye.  Legend has it that they even ate human flesh alive and dug out the hearts and livers of their enemies on the battlefield.

    ¡°I have heard too many legends like this. When the defenders here in the capital see the Jurchens, they will feel a little nervous and frightened.

    This is the so-called following what others say.

    ¡°In fact, this kind of rumor cannot be taken seriously at all, and no one would believe it in modern times.

    ¡°We all have one head and two arms, there is nothing surprising at all.

    But, this is the seventeenth century.

    People¡¯s thinking and vision cannot be compared with modern people.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If there is a sensible person in the Ming garrison, who can encourage us a little, we will be relieved.

    The surrendered troops in the charge were wearing the uniforms of Hou Jin and had money rat tails on the back of their heads. They looked no different from the Jurchens.

    In fact, they are all Akito who fought for their lives after being captured by the Jurchens.

    "It's just that they spent a lot of time with the Jurchens, and they killed many of their own compatriots with the Jurchens, so they just ended up in a black group.

    But, after all, it was from the Jurchens that I learned such ruthlessness.

    At first glance, they look no different from the Jurchens.

    The city wall of the capital was very tall and thick. The surrender troops attacking the city prepared more than fifty ladders, and they were as dense as ants and rushed towards the city wall at night.

    Behind them, a thousand real Jurchen Jia La soldiers were waiting in full formation. Their role was to supervise the attacking surrender army.  If the surrender army retreats without hearing the military order, then the soldiers waiting for them will kill them mercilessly.

    The Jurchens¡¯ military laws have always been very strict, and they are not allowed to leave without authorization before the formation.

    If you really do this, your own people will chop off your head when you come back.

    Especially when the targets of Jurchen law enforcement are people like the surrendered army, they are even more merciless.

    The soldiers of the surrendered army who knew this very well knew that returning would mean death.  So they gritted their teeth and rushed over one by one, hoping to capture this city wall.

    In fact, letting them attack is just letting them die as cannon fodder.

    Huang Taiji is not stupid. He is very clear that it is obviously impossible to seize this city wall with such a mere 8,000 surrendered troops.

    How stupid must the Ming army defending the city be to be repulsed and allow the surrendered army to seize this city wall.

    What¡¯s more, there is a gate under this city wall.

    Once it is lost, the Jurchen army will be able to march straight in once the gate is opened.

    ¡°If the Jurchens were to capture this city wall and gate, then the capital would be devastated.

    So, the defenders here will definitely fight back desperately.

    And the fate of these eight thousand surrendered troops will not be much better after thinking about it.

    Huang Taiji had no intention of success at all. All he wanted to do was to launch an attack on the capital with the returned troops, which would put psychological pressure on the Ming court and force them to make the reaction they wanted.

    Only Huang Taiji could use eight thousand appointments to achieve his goals.

    But for Huang Taiji and the Jurchens, the lives of these eight thousand surrendered troops were worthless.

    In their eyes, they are even inferior to mules and horses.

    Yes, in the eyes of the Jurchens, the names of the surrendered soldiers and the original Ming people are not even comparable to those of animals.

    So, what are eight thousand names?

    In other words, the number of surrendered troops in the army was not very large, otherwise Huang Taiji could have killed more people.

    The soldiers who returned to the army, holding torches and weapons in their hands, poured over like a tide.

    At the same time as the Jurchens attacked, the Ming defenders on the city also took action.

    clang clang clang clang!

      The sound of rapid tapping of iron tools echoed in the night.

    "The Jurchens are attacking the city!"

    The defenders rushed to the battlements.

    And among these frightened defenders, there were a group of people with no fear on their faces. Even when they heard that the Jurchens launched an attack, their faces showed a little bit of excitement.

    "Your Highness, the Jurchens have launched an attack."

    Mrs. Wang didn¡¯t know where he got a suit of armor, but wearing such a piece of armor on his small body made him look a bit nondescript.

    After receiving Zhao Hongyu¡¯s order, Mrs. Wang immediately went to the Lifan Court and told the Lifan Court about their intention to sell weapons, and asked the Lifan Court to tell Zhu Shangwu.

    After Zhu Shangwu learned the news, he immediately summoned Zhao Hongyu and the others again.

    Originally, Zhu Shangwu thought they were just ordinary swords and other weapons, but when Zhao Hongyu showed them, Zhu Shangwu realized that these weapons were things he had never seen before and were extremely powerful.

    When Zhu Shangwu saw the weapons displayed by Zhao Hongyu, he suddenly had extremely strong confidence in repelling the Jurchens outside the city.

    Even Zhu Shangwu felt that if these weapons could be purchased, Liaodong seemed to be able to stabilize.

    However, when Zhu Shangwu asked about the price of these weapons, Zhao Hongyu's quotation shocked him.

    My dear!

    The prices of these weapons are not cheap at all.

    It¡¯s like the kind that can be thrown out to produce a huge explosion, something similar to firecrackers, so one costs fifty taels of silver.

    Because he had contacted Zhao Hongyu yesterday, Zhu Shangwu asked Eunuch Xue in detail about the purchasing power of one tael of silver after Zhao Hongyu left.

    So, Zhu Shangwu is no longer a novice.

    He now truly knows how valuable a tael of silver is in his Ming Dynasty.

    "The price of the sophisticated firecracker Zhao Hongyu displayed was three hundred and fifty taels of silver per shot.

    However, that thing called a ¡®grenade¡¯ is indeed very powerful.

    If it is used to deal with the Jurchens, it can kill such a large number of people as long as it is thrown out. This is an absolute killer weapon.

    At the same time, those fire cannons are also more sophisticated than the Ming Dynasty's fire cannons, and they reload faster after being fired.  Its fire blunderbuss is also very light and only requires one soldier to use it.

    "It's like the Ming Dynasty's fire gun, which requires two people to carry it and use it. It's so troublesome."

    It¡¯s a bit expensive, but these weapons are really worth it.

    Especially after asking Eunuch Xue about the price of the firecrackers produced in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Shangwu immediately agreed to buy it.

    According to Eunuch Xue, the firecrackers manufactured by the Ministry of Industry are far inferior to these firecrackers. Not to mention the weight, the price of making a firecracker is more than 600 taels of silver, which is also cheaper than the firecrackers produced by Zhao Hongyu.  expensive.

    Of course, what Eunuch Xue did not tell Zhu Shangwu was that more than 500 taels of the Ming Dynasty's firecracker worth more than 600 taels of silver had been corrupted.

    Eunuch Xue would not dare to talk nonsense about such a thing.

    After all, if he said it, there would be many people he would offend.

    As the saying goes, destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. The ministers in the DPRK value money more than their parents.

    These weapons are practical, powerful, sophisticated, and cheap.

    "However, Zhu Shangwu, who had become enlightened, became surprisingly smart for once.

    That is, before he can actually sign an arms sales contract with Zhao Hongyu, he needs to let Zhao Hongyu use these weapons to prove their true battlefield practicality.

    In other words, just showing it in front of him is useless.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Only after proving that the power of these weapons can indeed kill and injure serious enemies can Zhu Shangwu do this trade with Zhao Hongyu.

    In fact, Zhu Shangwu remembered what Eunuch Xue told him, that is, even if people sell garlic, they have to sell two green onions to get a small advantage.

    ¡°Then he learned and put it into practice and decided to take advantage of Zhao Hongyu.

    I have to say that Zhu Shangwu has a weird character. Once he becomes weird, he will really be weird without any limits.

    He has never thought about it. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it would be a very embarrassing thing for him to do this

    But it is also from this point that we can see that Zhu Shangwu is not as cold as other people in the old Zhu family, and his soul is very simple.

    Zhao Hongyu certainly would not refuse Zhu Shangwu¡¯s condition.

    Since you want to see it, let you see it.

    ¡°Moreover, Zhao Hongyu also wanted to show the Jurchens something powerful.

    So, he just agreed.

    "It is definitely impossible for Zhu Shangwu to check this kind of thing personally, so Zhu Shangwu appointed Eunuch Xue to do this.

    "Your Highness, these soldiers are in danger, so you don't have to go up there. If there is someone good or bad, we won't be able to explain it."

    When Zhao Hongyu and Mrs. Wang were asking and answering questions, Eunuch Xue who was following them spoke.

    Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu waved his hands disapprovingly and said: "It's okay. When I was in America, I also experienced wars with the British, Spanish and Dutch. Now this matter is nothing.  what."

    Zhao Hongyu was not afraid at all.

    The person he is now is not the person he was when he just came to this era.

    After experiencing so much in America, Zhao Hongyu is no longer so afraid of war.

    "Jurchens, these are the mortal enemies of my ancestors. I heard my father said that in the Song Dynasty" Zhao Hongyu suddenly told the story he had made up long ago.

    Although it was a bit ridiculous, Eunuch Xue really believed it.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
