- This prince of the Song Empire is really not an ordinary rich man.
He can rest assured that tens of millions of taels of silver are just lent to the court?
I think the people of Song Dynasty must not be short of money, otherwise they would not lend so much money to the court.
If the rebels had so much money, the situation would definitely be different from now.
Of course, it is obviously not impossible for the rebels to borrow so much money.
At the same time, it is precisely because the prince lent so much money to the court that he definitely does not want the situation in the northwest to continue to deteriorate. Otherwise, how could the court return the money he lent.
Thinking about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supports the Ming Dynasty, and his proposal to let the rebels find a way to survive outside the Ming Dynasty is already very good.
At least, he did not order his troops to directly help the court go to the northwest to suppress the rebels.
With the fighting power of the rebel army, it goes without saying that it would be defeated at the first touch against the Song army.
Those hundreds of artillery pieces alone are enough to make the rebels suffer.
Li Zicheng experienced firsthand how hundreds of artillery pieces drove back 158,000 elite cavalrymen and charged into the sea.
Facing these 158,000 elite bannermen, the rebel army would not be able to do this, and it is estimated that they would not even have the courage to fight.
Others don¡¯t know the composition of the soldiers in the rebel army, but Li Zicheng does.
They are all farmers who have just put down their hoes, and they still lack various weapons.
Many people can't even stand in line, and they don't understand the orders. When they fight, they rush around like a swarm of bees. It would be okay if the battle goes smoothly, but if the situation is unfavorable, these people can't count on it at all. .
So, if you look at it from another angle, if the rebels are in their current position and fighting against the elite Eight Banners, the outcome will be a loss.
It can also be seen from this. There is no doubt about the power of the Song people.
So, the Ming army, which learned the Song Dynasty¡¯s tactics and purchased weapons and artillery equipped with the Song Dynasty, has now been transferred to the northwest to suppress the rebels.
It can be seen that the prospects of the rebels are very bad.
"Your Highness, although the rebel army is unified in name externally, in fact there are many mountains inside. Although I am one of the leaders, I do not have much say. Therefore, even if I convey His Highness's intention back, the other leaders may not be able to do so. Will agree."
Li Zicheng, who had already figured it out, finally told Zhao Hongyu the internal situation of the rebels. At the same time, he also expressed his attitude.
Hearing what Li Zicheng said, Zhao Hongyu still didn't understand that Li Zicheng had agreed to his proposal and that he was moved.
However, Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t care much about what Li Zicheng said about the rebels.
As long as Li Zicheng's heart is moved, it will be easy to handle.
He also has many soldiers and horses under his command. As long as Li Zichen is willing to go to Asia Minor, he will support him. Zhao Hongyu didn't believe it. With his own support, how could Li Zicheng handle the nomadic tribes outside the Ming Dynasty in the northwest?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Joke!
In front of muskets and artillery. No matter how brave you are, you will still be reduced to ashes.
Unless you are not flesh and blood.
"Just convey what I mean. If anyone is willing to go with you, then go together. If they are not willing, then just let them. If you are not united, how can you face the wind and rain outside? ? Don¡¯t worry, as long as you are willing to leave, then I can strongly support you with weapons and food. With my support, it is impossible for the nomadic tribes in Tajikistan to defeat you."
"Your Highness, is what you said true? You will support me with weapons and food. Could it be that you will also support me with this kind of artillery?"
After hearing Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words, Li Zicheng suddenly became excited.
Apart from anything else, he had seen the power of artillery today, so when he heard Zhao Hongyu say that he was willing to support his weapons and equipment, he became excited.
With artillery, Li Zicheng would certainly be confident of conquering the nomadic tribes in Tajikistan. This is obvious.
"Yes, but the quantity is not large. Considering that you will not have much money in the early stage, I can give you a batch of artillery and muskets on credit, as well as sophisticated weapons and armor. But after you establish a foothold there, you will have money. It must be paid back.¡±
Of course Zhao Hongyu would not do such a thing for nothing.
He is not a kind-hearted person, nor does he have a lot of money.
Although Li Zicheng¡¯s girl is sitting as a maid beside him, ZhaoYu Yu will not give him unlimited support just because of his girl or something.
¡° Supporting Li Zicheng naturally has Zhao Hongyu¡¯s considerations.
The main reason is that he feels that the rebels in the northwest are rioting. They and the Ming court are killing their own people, which is really meaningless.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu considered whether he could get the rebels out of the Daimyo territory and let them fight their way out to survive.
If it succeeds, it will be equivalent to expanding the territory of the Yanhuang ethnic group in disguise.
This is what Zhao Hongyu really thinks.
"That's for sure. As long as Your Highness can support me, someone is willing to try it out."
Li Zicheng gave Zhao Hongyu a definite answer, which meant that regardless of whether others were willing or not, Li Zicheng would definitely leave Daming with his troops and go to Tajikistan as Zhao Hongyu proposed.
"Okay! Don't worry, our empire has sophisticated weapons and enough food, so you will definitely not have any logistical worries. And I will discuss with the Ming Dynasty court. After the northwest is stabilized, I can open up a stable logistics channel to provide You are delivering all kinds of supplies in an endless stream."
On this side, taking advantage of the temporary cessation of fighting, Zhao Hongyu and Li Zicheng were chatting.
On the other side, Dorgon and others, who had been repulsed, were discussing with angrily how to fight next.
The emperor's artillery has already shown the power of Dorgon and the others, and it has brought them quite a shock.
Even Dorgon himself was almost killed during the fierce shelling. That is to say, he had better luck, so he survived.
But he also saw with his own eyes the bloody scenes of the bodyguards on the left and right, whose hands and feet were blown all over the place.
At this time, Dorgon had dismounted and was sitting on a rock, panting. His hat had fallen off somewhere, and his whole body looked disgraced.
Standing beside Dorgon. It was his younger brother Duduo.
The appearance of Duduo at this time is not necessarily any better than that of Dorgon.
The other nobles all stood around with their heads down and downcast.
The expressions on each of their faces were different, but they were all obviously frightened by the violent shelling.
Strictly speaking, they are no strangers to artillery.
During so many years of war with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty relied on artillery to defend the city, and fought fiercely with the Manchus.
However, what Dorgon and the others did not expect was that the Song artillery could actually be used in field battles. And it is more powerful than the Ming Dynasty's red cannon.
Especially the fast rate of fire and the wide range of damage caused by the shells were beyond their expectations.
In the previous charge, the opponent knocked out the leading team of their charge with only two rounds of artillery fire. It caused them more than 5,000 casualties, which is not a heavy loss.
The soldiers below had their courage broken by the shelling, and they would definitely be unable to continue charging.
Therefore, retreating is also very helpless.
According to the situation just now. Even if they continue to give orders to charge forward, the entire army will probably collapse.
So it¡¯s better to withdraw helplessly, reorganize the army in the meantime, and think of a way to break the opponent¡¯s artillery array.
first. It was Dorgon who spoke, breaking the dull and strange atmosphere.
"Everyone, let's talk about how we were able to break through the opponent's artillery and rush over. Everyone has seen it. The artillery of the Song Dynasty is stronger than the artillery of the Ming Dynasty. Needless to say, it is more powerful. We have no other choice at the moment. There is no way out. If you don¡¯t fight, you will die.¡±
As soon as Dorgon finished speaking, Duduo shouted first: "What else is there to say? We shouldn't have retreated just now. As long as we endure some casualties, we will be able to rush to the enemy's formation. As long as we rush over, The infantry of the Song people are simply not enough."
¡°Obviously Duduo doesn¡¯t know that much about the composition of the Imperial Army led by Zhao Hongyu. That's why he said such words, thinking that he would have a chance of winning if he rushed over.
How did he know that even if they rushed over, they would still have to face the musketry formation of the Imperial Army.
So, just as Duduo finished speaking, a commander with a white flag came out and refuted Duduo's statement.
"Fifteen Baylor is wrong!" The commander of the Zhengbai Banner had fought against Zhao Hongyu's Imperial Army several times, so he knew very well how powerful the Imperial Army was. "The Song people's musket array is also very sharp, so even if we rush to kill themIn front of the formation, they also have to face the threat of raining muskets and projectiles. Compared with the muskets of the Ming Dynasty, the muskets of the Song Dynasty are more lethal. Even our soldiers wearing three layers of cotton armor can be killed. "
Well! Everyone nodded, agreeing very much with the words of the Commander-in-Chief of Zhengbai Banner.
After he reminded them like this, everyone really remembered the power of the Song people's muskets.
"Moshan Abu is right, the Song people's musket array is very tight. Therefore, if we continue to charge forward, it is nothing more than adding unnecessary casualties." Dorgon raised his hand to stop his brother Dodo's rebuttal. . "Since we can't attack head-on, I wonder if we can take other methods."
Dorgon squinted his eyes and flashed his eyes from time to time. It seemed that he had a good idea now.
"Now we still have a certain advantage in terms of military strength, and they are all cavalry. So as long as we make good use of this, I think it is not impossible to defeat the Song people."
While talking, Dorgon stood up, then stood on the stone and looked at the Imperial Army line on the opposite side.
"Fourteen Baylor has a good idea?"
Seeing Dorgon's appearance, everyone who is familiar with him knows that this Baylor must have an idea.
However, before Dorgon spoke, they still had to ask.
Hearing this, Dorgon nodded: "Yes, I have an idea here" (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
