On the west bank of the Liao River, Liao Wenru, Qin Dalong, Zu Dabi, Li Guohan and others strode forward.

Wu Zongrui stood in front with a smile on his face.

"My subordinates are leading General Qin, General Zu, and General Li to pay homage to your lord..."

Liao Wenru and others knelt on one knee and saluted Wu Zongrui. Wu Zongrui, with a smile on his face, quickly stepped forward, helped Liao Wenru up, and motioned for the others to stand up as well.

Wu Zongrui personally went to the west bank of the Liao River to greet Liao Wenru and others, which moved everyone very much.

The sergeant handed over the wine bowl, which had already been filled with fine wine.

The banquet was held at Xiping Fort. Xiping Fort was still dozens of miles away from the west bank of the Liao River. It would take some time for the army to return to Xiping Fort. As for the defensive formation of the Jin Tatars, it was set up between Xiping Fort and the west bank of the Liao River. It was temporary.

Sex camp.

After drinking the wine handed over by Wu Zongrui himself, Liao Wenru's face turned red.

"My subordinates lived up to your great trust, defeated the Tatars of Houjin, beheaded the First Class La Zhang Jingsoni of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Man Eight Banners, killed and captured more than 21,000 soldiers of the Man Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners.

..”

Wu Zongrui did not interrupt Liao Wenru's report. In fact, he had already read the battle report of the Denglai New Army's battle across the Liao River.

What Wu Zongrui never dreamed of was that Soni, the first-class La Zhangjing of Zhenghuang Banner, was actually killed by Denglai's new army. You must know that Soni in history was once one of the four auxiliary ministers of the Qing Dynasty and also Huang Taiji.

and a confidant of Emperor Shunzhi.

History has really changed.

What really makes Wu Zongrui happy is not that Zhenghuang Banner's first-class La Zhang Jingsoni was killed, but that the percussion flintlock gun showed unparalleled power, and hot weapon warfare will dominate the new Denglai army in the future.

Compared with the matchlock gun, the percussion flintlock gun is indeed much more advanced. The emergence of the percussion flintlock gun changed the pattern of war. In the Western continent at that time, cold weapon combat was gradually eliminated, and hot weapon combat took the absolute initiative.

The battles and killings became even more fierce. It was at this time that the Eastern Continent stuck to its old ways and refused to accept Western civilization. It gradually began to decline, and eventually withdrew from the top of the world, and was once reduced to a colony and semi-colony.

Wu Zongrui, who traveled through time, would never miss this opportunity. He not only equipped the sergeants of the Denglai New Army with the latest percussion flintlock guns, but also invested a lot of money in large-scale development of percussion flintlock guns.

And improvements, the barrels of flintlock guns were all made of wrought iron, and the wrought iron of this period was not much different from the steel that had been used for hundreds of years.

The main task of Dengzhou Bingqi is to continuously develop and improve thermal weapons, including the most advanced and powerful thermal weapons such as Hongyi cannon, flange machine and percussion flintlock gun.

There is no need to go into details about the confrontation between cold weapons and hot weapons, which one is better and which one is worse.

Over time, the Denglai New Army will not only become the most courageous army in the Ming Dynasty, but also the most powerful army in the world. You must know that Wu Zongrui's vision is not only the ancient East, but also the vast western continent.

History is always written by the victors. Although he believes in Confucianism and pays attention to the golden mean, Wu Zongrui is not that pedantic. When his strength is strong enough, his tentacles will extend to the distant western continent.

This has always been the case in history, it is the case now, and it will be the case for hundreds of years.

The captured war horses and grain were quickly transported to the shore, and the sergeants carried the grain onto the carriage.

Walking to the front of the carriage, Wu Zongrui looked at the seized grain. The words "Xiping Fort" were written on the grain bag.

"It's interesting. It seems that Huang Taiji of Houjin really has enough food. He can't finish it all, so he gave it back to us. It's also good to transport the food directly to the exchange market. If Huang Taiji has enough silver, then

Just keep coming and buying..."

Hearing Wu Zongrui say this, Liao Wenru and others all had smiles on their faces.

After the five Hongyi cannons were carried ashore, Wu Zongrui looked at them very carefully.

"Transport all five red Yi cannons to Dengzhou. These red Yi cannons were made by craftsmen ordered by Hou Jin Tatar. Knowing yourself and the enemy will make you safe in a hundred battles. We need to know the power of the red Yi cannons owned by Hou Jin Tatar.

How exactly."

Just as Wu Zongrui finished speaking, Liao Wenru spoke next.

"Sir, I have taken a close look at these Hongyi cannons. Houjin's Hongyi cannons still use solid shells. Their barrels are extremely thick and heavy. They are similar to the Hongyi cannons used by our Denglai New Army a few years ago.

, His subordinates once asked Teixeira, Correa, Henry and others that this kind of red barbarian cannon dissipates heat slowly and can easily explode if you are not careful, unless it is a confrontation between two armies, or an attack on a city, or a mobile operation.

Understand, this red barbarian cannon is of little use."

Wu Zongrui nodded slightly and turned to look at Liao Wenru.

"Yes, I have analyzed Houjin's Hongyi cannon. What I want to say is that our Hongyi cannon still needs improvement, especially in terms of the weight and rapid movement of the cannon. The Hongyi cannon is extremely powerful. If it can

It would be best to use your power in some mobile battles..."

Liao Wenru nodded repeatedly and watched Wu Zongrui speak again.

"Sir, my subordinates didn't know enough about the Dengzhou Ordnance Bureau before. I always thought that the Ordnance Bureau consumed too much money. Now I finally understand..."

Wu Zongrui's face showed a smile again. It was not easy for Liao Wenru to change his understanding. Perhaps it was the huge power of the percussion flintlock gun that made Liao Wenru fully understand the importance of combat weapons.

...

When riding on the war horse, Wu Zongrui spoke to Liao Wenru and others beside him.

"After Hou Jin suffered such a disastrous defeat, Huang Taiji would never give up, so Denglai's new army must still make all preparations. If Hou Jin's Eight Banners Army dares to cross the Liao River to fight, we will make it impossible for them to come back."

Liao Wenru clasped his fists at Wu Zongrui and spoke loudly.

"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates have made all preparations. I will kill as many of the Houjin Tartars as I can..."

Zu Dabi on the side couldn't help it anymore and followed Liao Wenru.

"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will continue to fight with the commander-in-chief. After defeating the Jin Tatars, I still want to follow the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief into Shenyang City and capture those arrogant Manchu nobles..."

Liao Wenru turned to look at Zu Dabi, whose face was a little red, and spoke with a smile.

"Zu Dabi, during this battle, did anyone call you Zu Er crazy?"

Zu Dabi was stunned for a moment, then scratched his scalp and spoke.

"That's not true. My subordinates haven't had time to go crazy yet. This flintlock gun is so powerful. It made the Houjin Tatars cry like ghosts and howl like wolves. They ran faster than rabbits, and my subordinates had no chance to kill them..."

...

At Xiping Fort, Liaodong Governor Shi Kefa was waiting anxiously on top of the city wall.

Seeing a fast galloping horse in front of him, Shi Kefa showed a smile on his face, quickly walked down the city wall, and trotted to the south gate of Xiping Fort.

Wu Zongrui reined in the reins. He had already seen Shi Kefa waiting outside the city gate.

"Master Shi, when did you arrive at Xiping Fort?"

Shi Kefa looked at Wu Zongrui, Liao Wenru and others coming towards him, clasped his fists and spoke quickly.

"Xiaguan made a special trip to Xipingbao to express his congratulations to the Lord and to General Liao..."

Wu Zongrui had a bright smile on his face, but this time he was not humble anymore.

"Master Shi, I still listened to your suggestion when the Denglai New Army crossed the Liao River to fight. You also contributed to it. Yesterday I went to the Xipingbao mutual market to have a look. There was some impact on the transaction. The market

Officials from the Shipping Department told me that the number of commodity transactions has declined in the past few days, but the entire mutual market is very stable and the mood of merchants is stable. Whether they are merchants from Houjin or merchants from Mongolian tribes, they are quite satisfactory."

"The soldiers of the Denglai New Army crossed the Liao River to fight and fought against Hou Jin's Eight Banners Army. The mutual trade in Xipingbao was so stable. This was due to the huge efforts of the governor's Yamen and the officials at all levels in Fuzhou and County."

"The autumn harvest has mostly begun in various parts of Liaodong. Farmers are concerned about their harvests, whether the food for the coming year will be sufficient, and whether their lives will go smoothly. These days, I have specially sent some scouts to various parts of Liaodong to conduct reconnaissance and see the people.

Did you suffer a fright? The result surprised me. The people and farmers didn't know that the Denglai New Army had already fought with Hou Jin's Eight Banners Army. For me, this was the biggest surprise."

"The stability of the situation in Liaodong is indispensable to the Governor's Yamen and Master Shi. Think about it, if the various places in Liaodong become unstable, the soldiers of my Denglai New Army will not be able to go on expeditions abroad with peace of mind."

"Master Shi, please tell me whether I should write down my first achievement for you."

After Wu Zongrui finished speaking, Shi Kefa waved his hands repeatedly.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, so I don't dare to take the position. What I'm thinking about is the people's livelihood in Liaodong. This is my responsibility. If I don't do it well, I will betray your trust and I won't be able to explain to you."

"The soldiers of Denglai's new army crossed the Liao River to fight and defeated the Houjin Tatars. This is the credit of General Liao and many soldiers. I dare not take the credit from them..."

Wu Zongrui waved his hand, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

"This time our Denglai New Army crossed the Liao River and achieved a major victory. The Ji Liao Governor's Office will not report it to the emperor and the court. As for whether the news will reach the capital, I can't guarantee it, but

Everyone, please remember, it is enough for us to know about this matter, this credit belongs to you and has nothing to do with the emperor or the court."

"Hong Taiji of Hou Jin Dynasty and the Manchu nobles may not be able to bear such a defeat. The crowd must be excited and clamoring to kill them. However, I think that if the Eight Banners Army of Hou Jin Dynasty wants to cross the Liao River to fight, I am afraid that

There is no return.”

"I am most happy about the victory in this battle. You will know the significance of this battle in the future. I think all parts of Liaodong will gain too many benefits from this battle."
