The wedding night candle shines on the red tent,

The fragrant quilt of hibiscus hangs on the bed.

The hero is carrying the beaks and swallows,

The sound of mandarin ducks is gentle and long.

The festive celebration of the head of state's wedding lasted until the third day. A boat came from Wuchang and brought a letter from Zhao Boyuan.

Zhao Boyuan first talked about the matter of rescuing Jiangyin for thousands of miles, which was expected by Wanjun. When Zhao Boyuan borrowed the fleet, Wanjun guessed it.

However, a terrible news was revealed in the letter, and the Qing army in Anqing began to use rocket launchers.

Rocket launchers are the killing weapon of the Chinese army. It can be said that the troops can grow rapidly because of this black technology that transcends the times. Although the spread of technology is a matter of time, in less than three years, this day has come a little too quickly.

Wan Jun had a headache. If the rocket launcher technology spread, it would probably not take long for the musket. "Guangyuan, I'll order all generals to go to the main hall of the prefecture to discuss major events."

Zhao Guangyuan said, "Yang Zhan and the others?"

Wan Jun said, "Since you surrender, you will call me!"

When Zhao Guangyuan got the order, he went to convey it. Wan Jun looked at Zhao Guangyuan's back and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Guangyuan took the initiative to take the lead in the Princess of the Rui Palace, and Wanjun followed suit and agreed to this relationship, allowing Zhao Guangyuan to be his own guard captain, so as to gain Zhao Guangyuan's trust.

As for the troops brought by Zhao Guangyuan, they were directly reorganized and digested. Zhao Guangyuan was able to quickly gain the trust of Wan Jun, so naturally no longer cared about these things.

However, Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying and others surrendered in Sichuan still had tens of thousands of soldiers, and these people could not move for the moment.

When the Chinese army entered Sichuan, it was necessary to establish rule, land, food, and population.

There is still a battle situation!

The battle situation after the spread of firearm technology!

In the lobby of the prefecture, the Chinese army generals and the Ming army generals sat on both sides. After thousands of troops sat down, everyone looked at the thousands of troops quietly.

Wan Jun felt upset when he saw the bright red word "Happy" in the hall and handed the letter to Cui Ziyi for everyone to pass it on. Cui Ziyi also changed his face after reading it.

Cui Ziyi said, "I guess it was when Lucheng fell, the Hu people got many of our weapons and craftsmen."

Soon after the generals of the Chinese Army saw it, Li Xin and others saw it look much weirder. The letter flipped around in their hands, looked at it and nodded and passed it to another person.

After reading the Ming army, Yang Zhan and others hurriedly, the letter soon came to Wanjun again.

Wan Jun said, "Rocket launchers are just a signal. The craftsmen who were abducted when Lucheng was lost, and the weapons obtained by the enemy by the Jiangnan rebellion. I think not only the rocket launchers, but the enemy will also equip our muskets soon."

Everyone understood the interests of the technology after it spread. After Wan Jun said that, everyone changed their faces.

Yang Zhan and others had not seen it yet, and heard this and asked, "What is the rocket launcher that the lord said?"

Zhang Wuyang and others looked at Yang Zhan with a confused look on their faces, but Li Xindao, the general of the rebel army, said, "The rocket launcher is very impressive. When it is launched, the flames are everywhere in the sky, and when it lands, it sounds like thunder. It can explode thousands of steps away, and it will become scorched earth within ten steps, which is amazingly powerful."

Yang Zhan was surprised and said, "This is so great."

Li Xin said, "If you see it another day, you will know its power."

He Dingchuan said, "I'm afraid he is a bird. At that time, we only had a thousand or eight hundred people. We fought all the way from Lucheng. I haven't seen any battles before. Now the Tartars have cannons, so we have more."

Cui Ziyi said, "Dingchuan is a good word. The Tartars are a small country. It is said that men, women, young and old are only a few hundred thousand. If we fight for one of them, we can kill him and destroy him!"

Yang Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "If then, I, Yang Zhan, will be the first to kill Liaodong and give it to the Tatars."

Let’s plow the courtyard and sweep the cave.”

Seeing that everyone was chatting and laughing, Wan Jun felt much more at ease. The current technical level of rocket launchers is indeed a big killer, but he consciously cultivated Wang Lihui's scientific spirit and took more than ten years to achieve the great development of science and technology in the late Ming Dynasty.

Even if you cannot achieve your goal, you still have a way to send someone to Europe like Peter the Great to learn from foreign skills. In the 17th century, various technologies in chemistry and mathematics were taking off.

Thinking through all these things, Wan Jun sighed in his heart, "Waring like war depends on both steel and energy. Our new China is in trouble, but with less steel and more energy, we can still do better than America!"

Cui Ziyi said, "What beautiful room?"

Wan Jun smiled and said, "Nothing, I mean, as long as our people's will and the morale of the army is available, we can still beat the Tartars."

Everyone laughed and said, "Yes, the fight made the Tartars scream."

Zhang Wuyang said, "How will the head of state plan to arrange it?"

Wan Jun thought about it, "Yunnan and Guizhou are not like the Central Plains, where Han people and young people live in a mixed relationship. Now, taking advantage of the decline of the Ming Dynasty, chieftains everywhere are in chaos. If the situation is not stabilized as soon as possible, it will be difficult to clean up people's hearts in the future."

Cui Ziyi said, "Aid Prince Mu's Mansion?"

Wan Jun nodded and said, "The Mu family has been in the southwest for two hundred years. Now that we have already surrendered to us for help, we will take the opportunity to stabilize the entire southwest. We will order Zhang Wuyang to be the commander of the Southwest Front Army, Bai Wang, Li Laiheng, and Huang Da become deputy generals, leading 30,000 troops to rescue the Mu Prince's Mansion."

Zhang Wuyang said, "Get order!"

Wan Jun said, "The people in the southwest are complicated, and the young people do not accept the king's transformation. Everything is stable. We will deal with it when we can free up our hands!"

Zhang Wuyang said, "Don't worry, the head of state, I will definitely not let the southwest cause trouble."

Wan Jun nodded and turned to look at Yang Zhan and said, "Anqing has to be careful. General Yang Zhan's troops go to Anqing to support him. He only needs to defend the defense line. I wonder what General Yang Zhan wants?"

Yang Zhan thought to himself that the Hu people in Anqing were fierce and equipped with new weapons. This made my people go up and change their faces a few times. He still smiled and said, "Sir, my soldiers live in Sichuan for generations. I am afraid that I can't adapt to the battles from Sichuan. It is best to be able to kill thieves in Sichuan."

Wan Jun said, "Okay! Then let Yang Zhan be the general of the Northern Expedition, lead his troops to recover Chengdu, and go out of Guangyuan to cooperate with the Central Army to attack Guanzhong."

Yang Zhan stood up with satisfaction and said, "The last general will take the order."

Wan Jun said, "I ordered He Dingchuan to be the commander of the Northwest Front Army, Wu Sanqi, Li Guo and Liu Tichun as the deputy generals, and led 30,000 troops from Micang Mountain to Hanzhong."

He Dingchuan stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I'll get the order!"

Wan Jun said, "Ziyi and I are going to Chongqing. After the matter is completed, we go to Hanzhong. I hope you don't let me wait outside Hanzhong City for too long."

He Dingchuan said, "I will clean Hanzhong and wait for the head of state."

Wan Jun nodded, and when He Dingchuan sat down, he said, "Send a message to Li Wenlong, Shangzhou Prefecture is the main attacker, and leave Lantian to take Xi'an."

Cui Ziyi smiled and said, "I have been guarding Shangluo Mountain for two years, and Li Wenlong is probably waiting for this day long."

Everyone laughed and said, "Li Wenlong is probably so tired of being suffocated."

Cui Ziyi said, "There is also information that He Zhen rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and captured Xing'anzhou with the Ming Dynasty general Sun Shoufa. They are now being chased by the Manchu soldiers very much. As long as we write a letter, we will definitely be able to surrender."

Wan Jun nodded, "It's OK." But he said in his heart that the Ming Dynasty soldiers, Shunjian and Daxi soldiers were in chaos and fought on their own. No wonder they were picked up by the Hu people. If they could integrate the soldiers of various units

Horse, there is no such thing as a Hu person in the vast China.

But then I thought about it and found that the more than 100,000 troops under Yang Zhan’s troops were still difficult to command. There were many factions of soldiers and horses in the world, and if they absorbed more, it would affect the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army.

Wanjun thought about it and said to Cui Ziyi, "Even if you write a book and advise, we can send troops to support us. Their troops and horses are under their own command. There is only one that cannot harm the people. If there are Zuo Liangyu and others, even if they have a million troops, I will vow to destroy them."

Cui Ziyi said, "I understand, I will do it according to the head of state."

Wan Jun said, "In addition, if you fight, the people need to settle down as soon as possible. Sichuan's land is fertile for thousands of miles. As long as production can be restored, there will be the capital to fight the enemy for a long time. Wen Anzhi was appointed Chief Executive of Sichuan, and he selected Chinese military officials from all over the place to promote abolition of slavery, calculate the corpses, and equalize the land."

Wen Anzhi was not a general of the Chinese army and was not present at this time. Cui Ziyidao stood up and said, "I have the order, I will go and send a message."

Zhang Wuyang said, "Who will send over Anqing?"

Wan Jun said, "There is no troops in the southwest, so Chen Xinmin sent troops from Henan to reinforce, and Li Guodong's troops were also close to Xinyang."

Everyone agreed on major events, and the generals of various departments said goodbye one after another. The lively Fengjie City began to fade away, and the festive wedding was overshadowed by the atmosphere of war.

According to the newlyweds rules, Wan Jun and his bride Wang Huan stayed in Fengjie City for two more days. It was not until early on the third morning that the "Imperial" left Fengjie and set out towards Chongqing.

The name of Chongqing began in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Dun, the son of Emperor Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, was named King Gong. In February, he ascended the throne to Emperor Guangzong, which was called "Double Festiveness". He then promoted Gongzhou to Chongqing Prefecture, which was named after Chongqing.

Chongqing city was built on the Yuzhong Peninsula, with stones at the bottom of the walls, and it was surrounded by mountains and water on both sides. The terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong attacked a hundred miles at night, defeated the defenders of Tongluo Gorge, and used coffins to fill gunpowder to break through Tongyuan Gate to capture this natural city.

The "Imperial" flows upstream along the Yangtze River, with high gorges on both sides of the river. Since ancient times, the road to entering Sichuan has been difficult and dangerous. Although there are reefs and rapids on waterways, it is much better than land.

Wang Huan remained silent all the way, mostly sitting on the deck of the bow of the boat, holding the side of the boat with one arm, bending his arm into his arms, lying his head in his arms, and staring blankly at the river.

Wan Jun often discussed the situation with Cui Ziyi and others while he was on the boat, but Wan Jun saw it as more than just a war in the Central Plains.

Time waits for no one. Once the Thirty Years War ends, the Spaniards and the Dutch who have freed up their hands will have more energy to invade the South Ocean. The Russians in the north are rapidly infiltrating south of Lake Baikal and the lower reaches of Heilongjiang.

China's unification must be completed as soon as possible.

The "Imperial" sailed through Wanzhou, Zhongzhou, and Fuling along the way.

As Chongqing approaches, Wan Jun and Cui Ziyi's discussion comes to an end. When they have nothing to do, they sit beside Wang Huan and look at her in a daze. Sometimes Wang Huan will raise his head and point to a certain place on the shore, "I remember there, there is a cave under the tree over there, where we hide."

The two were silent for a while, and Wang Huan suddenly said, "When you arrive in Chongqing, you will see many people with broken right arms. Don't be surprised."

When Wan Jun heard this, he looked at Wang Huan, and saw that her eyes were already filled with tears, "They were all harmed by the thief."

According to historical records, Zhang Xianzhong killed many people. In order to shock the Sichuan people, he also killed 35,000 surrendered soldiers and civilians. At this time, he suddenly realized that every word on the history books was tragic.

The general Wang Huan of thousands of troops hugged Wang Huan in his arms, and the good smoke comforted him for a long time. Suddenly someone shouted loudly, "Chaotianmen has arrived!"

Chongqing Shicheng is facing the river, the city gate is connected to the Jiangmen, and Chaotian Gate, which welcomes officials and saints, has arrived!
Chapter completed!
