Chapter 207
Digging through
The deadlock in Jinzhou has continued like this.
Of course, this deadlock is not particularly deadlocked.
Wu Sangui returned to his hometown. He probably found the feeling of being a frontier army before. After setting up camp, he recruited troops and provided money and food for the army. Except for Chen Bing who guarded Jinzhou from the rear, there were few conflicts involving more than fifty people between the Guan Ning Army and the main force of the Black Flag Army.
.
The two armies were circling within these ten miles.
But Jinzhou is quite lively.
With Zhu Youjian's approval and technical support, Jin Yangwu immediately accelerated the digging of trenches, risking the bombardment of several heavy artillery at the top of the city to rush to a position one and a half miles away from Jinzhou.
After establishing a firm foothold, we began to dig trenches.
This has also led to more intense competition in areas around Jinzhou.
Especially in Shantouzi in the north of Jinzhou, Jin Yangwu just pulled an unscrupulous cannon up there in order to stabilize the situation.
After Obai and Bolo knew about it, the conflict around this mountain with only a few dozen people turned into an attack by a hundred people.
The royal palace in Shengjing City must have one for me, Jin Yangwu!
"How's the excavation going!"
Because there were Jin Yiwei in Liaodong, the battle records between the Zhenghei Banner and the Qing army in Jinzhou were also continuously transmitted across the Bohai Strait to the interior of the Ming Dynasty.
It is the heartless cannon used by the Black Flag Army to defeat the enemy.
It also made Chaotang Donglin's eyes converge on him.
The Qing army attacked for half a month but failed to capture it.
"Now we can only dig at night, and the exposure during the day may be greater. In addition, General, the craftsmen said that it is difficult to breathe in the cave, and they need to add blowers and leather airbags."
In the battle report, whenever there is a battle to destroy a big city, it must start with this "flying thunder cannon".
The artillery, which can kill a large part of the infantry, can also effectively suppress the trenches, which is particularly suitable for today's Tongguan.
"Why does it take five more days after we've already entered the city wall?"
Wonderful.
The success was even somewhat beyond Wang Chengen's own expectations, which made him ecstatic and his heart rate soared.
There is only one year between the general and noble man with 15,000 soldiers under his command, and the cannon fodder armored man who could only endure humiliation and survive.
"Tsk then add it!"
After the Battle of Ningyuan, the Qing Dynasty's love for artillery gradually became fanatical.
Wang Chengen's secret arms manor was transformed in one day and became a legal inner court artillery foundry.
Then slowly use this as a starting point to start talking about arms.
What most praised Ming literati was not Zheng Heiqi's violent defeat of the Qing army, but the fact that North Korea sent troops to assist. For a time, Zhu Yujian piled up a lot of tricks to give rewards and appeasement to North Korea.
They are nothing more than bones to stand on.
As a Han from Liaodong, Jin Yiwei was recommended by Wang Chengen to join the Zhenghei Banner. He also handled Zhenghei Banner's affairs with North Korea and captured intelligence from both ends.
Not to mention these two official positions.
Got the blueprint of the ‘Flying Thunder Cannon’ in Black Flag’s hand?
The trajectory of the explosive package is slow, and it is easy to see what is being shot when there are more people.
In the past half month, Yaba Mountain has been fighting to the death. The Black Flag Army stationed in the mountain has already numbered five to six hundred people, and a small village has been created.
Bring some light artillery.
Wang Chengen visited Shengjing and assisted the Jinyiwei to test out the attitude of the Black Flag Wuerte and his subordinate Zhengheiqi towards the Ming Dynasty. Along the way, he also repaired the Ming Dynasty's intelligence network in North Korea and inserted many people into the Black Flag.
In the army.
Now he has served two emperors. He has experienced the Wei Zhongxian period and has remained loyal and loyal. He also led the army to fight against the invaders when the capital fell. He supported his succession with a posthumous edict, and opened a sugar factory to reduce the financial pressure on the court and himself.
Going to sea also strengthened Ming Dynasty's ability to monitor Zhengheiqi.
How to make Zhu Yujian not care?
Without saying a word, Zhu Yujian quickly sent his former confidants from the Tang Palace to lead troops to meet Wang Chengen.
Originally, he just wanted Zhu Yujian to agree to let him supervise the construction of the flying thunder cannon.
I thought that I really didn’t want to get too involved in government affairs, but a letter from Wang Chengen after landing in Shandong made Zhu Yujian immediately in awe!
Such a huge class leap, coupled with the bewitching words of the old fortune teller I found in Shengjing.
Aren’t these all the official positions that that person has held!?
His heart was beating so hard that it almost jumped out of Wang Chengen's chest.
As for the news of Wang Chengen's return to the Ming Dynasty, he really didn't want the old man to come back for a while.
Jin Yangwu didn't know what the Qing army thought, but Jin Yangwu himself was very satisfied.
"General, the craftsmen say they may have reached the bottom of the city wall. It only takes five days to dig to the designated location."
High-profile spies are very necessary.
But this time.
On the same day, Wang Chengen was activated by the Longwu court and appointed as an internal eunuch and also as a garrison eunuch in Nanjing. He was responsible for making gunpowder and supervising the manufacture of artillery.
This digging lasted half a month.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart.
However, most of the replies from the capital indicated that the mortar failed to launch the explosive package, causing the Ministry of Industry to suffer heavy losses. Dorgon even urged Jinzhou and Wu Sangui to seize it as much as possible if they had the opportunity.
The achievements of conquering Linghe and Linghe and arriving at Jinzhou also gave Ming Dynasty a small boost of excitement. At least Zhu Yujian was a little boosted.
This directly led to the fact that in the early Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty barely reached the pinnacle of the world in terms of artillery caliber, power, and charge, and forged thirty-two-pound heavy artillery.
What is a wise official?
The tunnel is in full swing.
Wang Chengen has done something fair and aboveboard.
Wang Chengen had done a lot of things like secretly plotting against Chencang, and many of the raw materials needed in the arms manor were transported through tunnels.
What is Ye Qian and Liang Yu called?
This is called a wise official!
Even though you have no authority, you are still working so hard!
Emperor Daxing was probably frightened by Wei Zhongxian. With such loyal ministers, the restriction and control of eunuchs must not make any exceptions for people!
Jin Yangwu is now so ambitious that he cannot hold back his ambitions.
Therefore, for the heartless cannon, Obai and others were determined to capture one no matter what.
Zhu Yujian also had great expectations and trust in him.
The two sides seemed to have opened up a second battlefield, but in front of Jinzhou City, the tunnels under the trenches were being dug in full swing. Because of the trenches, the Qing troops in the city were unable to notice that baskets of soil were being continuously transported from the trenches.
rear.
But what Zhu Yujian is most concerned about is not North Korea.
Wang Chenen knelt down and bowed his head, kneeling down to express his thanks piously.
But I wanted to do it in one step.
The idea that Zheng Heiqi is the next Hou Jin is still widely circulated in the Ming Dynasty.
What?
Compatriots of the same race?
As soon as Wang Chengen returned to Nanjing, he entered the imperial city on the same day.
But there was nothing Wang Chengen could do to force Zhu Yujian back.
Therefore, Jin Yang's military department relied on firearms and heartless cannons to defend the hilltop, while the Qing army came one after another and tried every means to capture the hilltop.
After learning about this kind of heavy artillery, Jinzhou also sent the news to the capital. It was not that the Qing Dynasty had never made it.
He is obsessed with cultivating immortality and does not seek power. This time, he probably saw the power of the flying thunder cannon in Zhengheiqi, so he thought of supervising its construction in person.
A wise official!
Must be reused!
What? The theory of eunuchs?
Nonsense!
This is from yesterday
