Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 200 Wang Yingxiong planned to save the princess, Hou Tianci burst into tears to thank the emperor

Wang Yingxiong was also from an ordinary family back then, and his son was born after the age of 30. He was quite doting on his only son Wang Yangxi.

Seeing his questioning, Wang Yingxiong was not angry, but said helplessly: "At that time, what could my father do? He was willing to take Zeng Ying's gun. If Zunyi was captured, what would you and the rest of the family do?"

Hearing this, Wang Yangxi was speechless.

He suddenly felt that the evaluation of his father by the supervisor's handbook was quite pertinent.

His father's literary accomplishments are enough to make him proud, but his military and political abilities are really not that good.

Even though he was inexperienced, seeing that after Wang Yingxiong became the governor of the four provinces, it took more than a month to gather tens of thousands of mobs in Zunyi Mansion, and then he was defeated by the rest of the bandits, we knew that Wang Yingxiong really lacked military and political capabilities.

At this time, Wang Yingxiong said again: "Since my father is called to be a Hanlin scholar in Chengdu, there will definitely be no safety problems, so our family will be able to live in peace for a while.

As for the future, let's leave it alone.What's more, if there is a chance, my father will also communicate with Jian Guo and take her out of Chengdu to go to Nanjing to take the crime and make meritorious service. "

Wang Yangxi was shocked when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Father, you mean to go to Chengdu to kidnap that princess?!"

"Hijacking a fart!" Seeing that his son didn't understand his thoughts, Wang Yingxiong finally got angry, "How can the princess be the supervisor? Someone in Chengdu must have kidnapped her to be a puppet.

The father only needs to see the princess, confirm the matter, find another chance to rescue the princess, and then go to Nanjing together.

His Majesty saw that for the sake of saving his cousin's niece and getting rid of a prisoner for his father, not only would he be exonerated from his father's crimes, but he might even be rewarded for his merits. "

Wang Yangxi finally understood what Wang Yingxiong was thinking, and immediately praised with bright eyes: "Gao, dad is really clever!"

Wang Yingxiong showed a humble smile, but his heart was full of joy.

He likes to hear his son's praise the most.

···
The next day.

Zeng Ying invited Wang Yingxiong and other civil officials in Zunyi City, as well as generals such as Wang Xiang, Luo Yushen, and Hou Tianci, to watch the performance of the imperial guards and border guards on the school grounds.

The imperial guard army led by Liu Wenxiu has a strong soldier, that is, Liu Wenxiu's personal soldiers Qianzong.

These 1000 people are all dressed in chain mail and cloth-covered padded armor, holding wooden-inch steel-faced round shields, wild goose feather knives, and carrying bows and arrows.

First rehearsed the array charge, and then rehearsed the bow and arrow salvo.

It's also fortunate that there was no practice of riding and hacking, otherwise Wang Xiang and other generals would think that these were the elite of the rumored elites of the Middle East, white armored soldiers.

Even so, whether it was Wang Xiang, Hou Tianci and other experienced generals, or Wang Yingxiong and other civil servants, they were all dazzled and even couldn't help admiring.

"This is the real elite soldier."

"These thousand soldiers are probably equivalent to tens of thousands of soldiers waiting for me!"

"I heard that these thousand soldiers came from the second town of Liu Wenxiu's imperial guards, but Chengdu has trained three towns of imperial guards!"

"Chengdu was lucky enough to surrender most of the soldiers from the bandits, otherwise how could they have trained such elite soldiers?" Someone became sour.

"Lucky? Are you lucky once if you have the ability?"

"···"

Soon, these whispered discussions and even disputes disappeared, because the soldiers of the second town of the Imperial Guards always left the school grounds, and another general soldier entered the school grounds.

Everyone's attention was immediately diverted.

Because these 1000 people are all holding the flintlock long firearms.

At this time, Zeng Ying, who was sitting in the middle of the Dianjiang platform with Wang Yingxiong, introduced with a smile: "Everyone, the bright-style flintlock guns used by these 1000 people are all made by the Chengdu Military Weapons Bureau, and they are our military's sharp weapons."

Hearing this, Wang Xiang, who was sitting on the far left, couldn't help but sneered in a low voice, "A musket is also a sharp weapon? Not to mention that the flintlock can only fight a cavalry charge for a while, even if it faces an infantry charge, it can only be used for a while." Play a round or two.

What's more, they were not equipped with waist knives. Once they were approached by the enemy, the muskets in their hands would become fire sticks and could only be slaughtered. "

The two guerrillas next to him immediately responded wittily after hearing this——

"What Wang Zongbing said is true."

"It's really stupid for such an elite soldier to be issued with only one musket."

After the two had finished speaking, the thousand musketeers below began to practice.

I saw a row of 250 soldiers per sentry, and the soldiers were only half a step away from each other, forming a rather long dense array.

As the whistle chief in the first row waved the small flag, the 250 people immediately walked forward in a row with long guns, and they were sixty to seventy steps away from a row of scarecrows wearing multi-layered shabby cloth masks.

At this time, the whistle chief blew a piercing whistle with a small gadget hanging around his neck.

The 250 immediately pulled the trigger together.

Snapped!
The crisp gunshots shook the school grounds.

In the white smoke, most of the armored scarecrows seventy steps away were smashed to pieces!

Before Wang Yingxiong, Wang Xiang and others could marvel at this, they saw the second row of musketeers crossing the first row, followed by the harsh whistle of the second whistler, and pulled the trigger together again.

Snapped!
This volley of muskets seemed to hit the hearts of everyone present.

After hearing the crisp sound, almost none of the two or three hundred scarecrows in the front sixty or seventy steps away were intact.

Afterwards, the Four-Whistle Musketeers performed the classic tactic of the Daming Fire Gunners more than a hundred years ago - the three-stage strike.

However, the three stages of the fire gun soldiers in the past may really only be three stages.

One is because the process of charging and sending the medicine is too slow, and the other is that the sending distance is too short.

Third, and most importantly.Because of the influence of the matchlocks, it is impossible to form a really dense queue, and it is impossible to kill the enemy more efficiently. Often after three rounds, some enemies can still rush to the front of the firecrackers and slaughter them.

This flintlock gun is different, the array is arranged more closely, and the lethality of a salvo is also greater.

And when several rows of fusiliers fired three-stage volleys in turn, no enemy could stare at the dense lead pellets in a short period of time, so that more rounds of shooting could be carried out continuously.

What's more, many generals soon realized something more important——

"No way? Their flintlock can shoot sixty or seventy paces?!"

"It's really unbelievable. The firecrackers we usually see are still capable of piercing armor at thirty or forty steps. It's not bad to hit armored soldiers at sixty or seventy steps."

"Have you noticed that they charge and fire quickly, more than twice as fast as ordinary firecrackers!"

"Such a flintlock gun can indeed be called a military weapon!"

Hearing these words of admiration for the flintlock, Wang Xiang couldn't hold back his face—after all, he had only laughed at the flintlock before.

So he emphasized: "No matter how powerful the flintlock gun is, there will always be times when it gets close, and it will eventually be slaughtered by cavalry and infantry!"

He had just finished speaking when he heard Mr. Qian, who was leading the musket on the school grounds, shouting, "Get the bayonet!"

At this time, [-]% to [-]% of the thousand scarecrows arranged on the school grounds had been smashed to pieces by musketeers, and two or three hundred of them were still standing.

After Mr. Qian gave the order, everyone saw that the musketeers skillfully took out a three-edged spear thorn and put it in the slot under the barrel of the musket.

Immediately, under the command of their respective guards, they carried out a close-up assassination of the remaining armored scarecrows.

Although the scarecrow is just a target, the armor on his body is real.

But no matter whether it was one-layer armor or double-layer armor, or a few wooden men with three-layer armor dressed as enemy generals, they were all pierced with holes under the glowing musket bayonet!

This made all the generals, and even civil officials like Wang Yingxiong, easily think about what would happen if this kind of bayonet stabbed him.

Suddenly, many people were both frightened and excited.

The fear is because this flintlock gun has both long-distance attack and close-combat capabilities, it is very powerful, but it is in the hands of Chengdu Jianguo.

Excitement is because they are not the enemies of the supervisor in Chengdu now, but are going to become his subjects.

But Wang Xiang, who said not long ago that the fusiliers were useless when they were close, was embarrassed.

Seeing the weird gazes from the other generals on the left and right, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

You say you slap your face, so why did it come so fast?
Can't Wang be mentally prepared?

···
After performing martial arts.

Zeng Ying smiled and asked Wang Yingxiong beside him, "What do Wang Hanlin think of our infantry and musketeers?"

Only then did Wang Yingxiong recover from the shock of the Musketeers performing martial arts, and he couldn't help swallowing his dry throat when he heard the words, and said: "It's really the best in the world, and even the armored soldiers from the East are invincible."

Zeng Ying said with a smile: "How about the armored soldiers in the East, Zeng has never seen it before, so he dare not praise Haikou.

But Mr. Zeng knew the strength of our official army before the Ming Dynasty, as well as the bandit army in several provinces.

If there are 20 strong soldiers under Jian Guo, does Wang Hanlin think that the false emperor of Nanjing, trespassers, and offering thieves will still be a threat? "

"I'm afraid I can't." Wang Yingxiong shook his head honestly.

He really felt that in today's world, apart from the elite of the Eastern Captives, there was probably no army waiting to resist the enemy that could match the two powerful soldiers he had just seen.

Of course, the premise is that the 20 soldiers Zeng Ying said really exist.

Zeng Ying saw that Wang Yingxiong was intimidated by the might of the Yanwu army, so he nodded secretly - he just wanted to use Yanwu to make Wang Yingxiong extinguish his other small thoughts and return to Jianguo.

As long as Wang Yingxiong doesn't engage in petty tricks, everyone else will be fine.

Afterwards, Zeng Ying called Hou Tianci over and said, "Commander Hou, as far as Zeng knows, Jian Guo once praised the loyalty of the late General Hou Liangzhu.

Zeng lamented that if the former emperor hadn't been blocked by the news and failed to know the death of the old general Hou in battle in time, he would not have committed the crime, but would have rewarded him instead.

Therefore, when Jian Guo was in Chengdu in August, he issued an imperial decree to restore the old general Hou to the post of Zuo Dudu and the hereditary Yongning Guard to command Qian Shi, and posthumously named the prince Shaobao.

In addition, General Hou was ordered to be the general of Yongning and go to Chengdu to have an audience.

Why, Commander Hou has never received the imperial edict issued by Jian Guo? "

Hou Tianci was stunned after listening.

God is pitiful, when his father (adopted father and biological father) died in battle, he was instructed by others after he went to Beijing, and he dared not complain for his father. He could only show his loyalty and get the opportunity to fight on the battlefield. He sacrificed his life for several years. This barely restored the honor of the Hou family.

As for reversing the case for his father, he gave up hope.

Never thought that the princess in charge of the country in Chengdu knew and remembered his father's injustice, and rehabilitated his father without him knowing.

The princess is originally of the blood of the first emperor. Although she is a woman, she is also Zhu Mingzhengshuo, and she has shown such great kindness to his Hou family, but he followed Wang Yingxiong and others to fight against the princess before. He almost became an ungrateful person. !

Thinking of this, Hou Tianci finally came to his senses, with tears welling up in his tiger eyes.

Bow down directly in the direction of Chengdu, and shout: "The Hou family of Yongning pays homage to Jian Guo! Great kindness, great virtue, I will never forget it!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiang, Luo Yuxin and the others were slightly stunned at first, and then they couldn't help sighing——

Now it's all right, the Yongninghou family has completely become the people from the Jianguo side of Chengdu.

These people were already at a disadvantage in the face of Chengdu, and now that they lost a little strength, wouldn't they have completely become dough for the princess to knead?
