Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 217 Those who dare to hurt the flag will be punished even if they are far away

Zu Dashou had rich experience in the battlefield, so he was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the parapet, watching the dense bullets falling from the sky in front of him, the city bricks were punched into big holes, and some soldiers were hit, and the cotton armor on their bodies couldn't get up at all. As a result, he was directly punched out with a big blood hole, and died suddenly on the spot.

At the top of the city, there was an instant chaos.

The soldiers didn't know what happened, and the comrades around them fell down one by one.

"Quick! Hongyi Cannon! Fire back!"

Zu Dashou shouted.

He didn't understand what was going on, how could the firecrackers of the conscript army be able to shoot like the sharp arrows of bows and arrows?
But the range is so far, and the power is so powerful!

How does this make people live?
At this moment, his heart was full of panic.

But he knew that he must not be beaten, he had to fight back, otherwise, morale would drop rapidly.

In war, fighting is morale.

boom!
boom!
It has to be said that the quality of Guan Ningjun is quite high.

In the territory of Daming, almost all the common people were starving, but all of these Guanning soldiers were well fed, well dressed, and the food they earned could support their families.

They don't know who the emperor is, but they are absolutely loyal to their generals, and they are brave and capable of fighting.

As long as the general gives an order, they dare to mount their horses and leave the city to fight the Tartars.

Of course, unless forced to do so, Zu Dashou would never give such an order.

In this chaotic world, he knows how important it is to preserve his strength.

With soldiers in his hand, he can be the king and hegemony in the locality; if he has no soldiers in his hand, Emperor Chongzhen is probably the first to kill him.

The Hongyi cannon shook the sky, and the hot shells flew out.

The distance was a little far, and the Hongyi cannon could hit it, but it was completely inaccurate.

Solid balls jumping on the ground.

The soldiers of the expeditionary army had received military training and knew how to avoid shells, so they hid in trenches one after another.

The trench has just been dug and is not too deep, but it is perfectly fine for people to hide in it.

The solid bounced over the ditch, or hit the wall of the ditch, embedded in the soil and did not move.

"Damn it! How dare you fight back! All the heavy machine guns, as well as the commander-in-chief's cannon, let me aim at their cannons and shoot them in salvo! Destroy their cannons for me!" Wang Cai yelled.

beep beep-

The Maxim heavy machine gun roared, and steam burst out of the water-cooled box.

tom!
tom!
The commander-in-chief's cannon sprayed flames, firing bullets one by one.

The soldiers constantly adjusted the shooting angle, and the shooting became more and more accurate.

At the top of the city, after firing a cannon, the soldiers of the Guanning Army were busy cleaning the barrel and filling the gunpowder...

A series of operations are very cumbersome.

Then, bullets and shells poured down the sky.

boom!
A shell fell, just near a Hongyi cannon, and all the surrounding soldiers were knocked down. The cannon was blown up and rolled down from the fort, and some soldiers were suppressed, screaming continuously.

tom!
tom!
Another Hongyi cannon was fired, but the number was obviously much smaller than before.

After firing, he was immediately suppressed by heavy machine guns and big guns.

The city was soon misfired.

Outside the city, there was a steady stream of heavy machine guns and cannons, and the input of firepower seemed endless.

Zu Dashou really wanted to take the lead in the city and boost morale.

However, when the two guards around him were shot and died on the spot, his courage was frightened and he almost ran down the city.

At the top of the city, there was a mess, and countless soldiers were killed or injured.

The bullets and shells even crossed the top of the city and fell into the city. The city was also in chaos.

Zu Dashou ran far away, all the way to the government office, and wanted to run again.

"Uncle! Don't be alarmed! The firecrackers and cannons of the conquering army can't reach this far!"

Zu Zefa took the reins of Zu Dashou's horse and shouted loudly.

"Is my head still there? Am I still alive?"

Zu Dashou stretched out his hand to touch his head, with a look of panic.

Zu Zefa looked terrified.

Was uncle actually scared like this by the thieves?
"Uncle's head is still there! Uncle is still alive!" Zu Zefa supported Zu Dashou and said repeatedly.

"That's good! That's good!" Zu Dashou let out a long breath.

Only then did he realize that his helmet had been lost and his bun was in a mess.

However, he has no interest in tying it up.

"How can the firearms of the conquering army be so sharp? Can they be thrown like sharp arrows?"

Zu Dashou looked terrified, puzzled.

"It is said that the Zhuge Artifact of the Crusade Army is powerful. Who would have thought that it would be so powerful?"

He was in Jinzhou, and he had also heard of the Zhuge artifact of the strong land army.

Someone even brought him two Zhuge divine guns from Xuanda.

Zu Dashou has studied it himself, and it is indeed incomparably miraculous, with a longer range, better accuracy and greater power.

But no matter what, it was not as miraculous as what he saw with his own eyes now!
What Zu Dashou didn't know was that in the past few months, the Zhuge God Gun had been making continuous progress.

What he got was a muzzle-loading musket.

Even so, its exquisiteness has already amazed him.

But now the conquest army is equipped with Lee-Enfield rifles, and each unit is also equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns, Napoleon cannons...

It has long been different.

Zu Dashou was naturally beaten up after meeting each other.

The shelling lasted about half an hour before stopping.

At this time, the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City have long been like frightened birds.

"Is the city willing to talk about peace? Zu Dashou comes out to speak! I will give you half an hour. Within half an hour, if Zu Dashou goes out of the city for peace talks, our conscript army can guarantee your personal safety. If the two countries are at war, don't behead them!" "

"However, if you miss this opportunity for peace talks, what awaits you will be even more violent shelling. Our conscript army will take down the city in one go. At that time, the foundation of your generations will be destroyed. "

"Remember! Remember! Don't say it's unpredictable!"

Some conscript soldiers rode war horses and held big horns, shouting loudly under the city, repeating it over and over again.

When Zu Dashou got the news, he came to the top of the city, and his expression was very ugly when he heard the shouts from the bottom of the city.

"Uncle, no way! The conscript army's firecrackers are so sharp, if uncle goes down to the city, wouldn't he be putting his life in the hands of others?"

Zuzefa growled.

Zu Dashou's face was ashen.

Of course he knew this.

However, if he does not go down to the city, the conquering army will definitely continue to attack the city.

A large part of the city wall has been demolished.

At the head of the city, the defenders hid far away.

It is impossible to expect them to stop the conscript army.

Zu Dashou could abandon the city and flee.

But Jinzhou City is a site run by generations of their ancestral family, so it would be a shame to give it up like this!

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will fight for it and persist until the end.

The most important thing is that the conscript army came too suddenly, and he was not prepared at all.The gold, silver, wealth, food and cloth accumulated by generations are all stored in the city!
If you run away in a hurry, those belongings will definitely not be taken away.

Even if you run away with a large army, you have no gold, silver, food, or fields... What will you use to raise your troops?

Is it possible that if you really want to take refuge in someone, is it the only one who will follow your lead?
Zu Dashou's heart was in a mess.

"I'm going out of town to negotiate with them!"

In the end, I gritted my teeth and made a decision.

This is a first-line opportunity, and he must not give up.

"uncle……"

Zu Zefa looked anxious.

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind. Zefa, gather your troops and protect your aunts. If something happens to Uncle Wei, you should immediately leave the city, go to Shanhaiguan, and seek refuge with your uncle, the commander-in-chief Wu Xiang.

However, I am afraid that if Jinzhou is lost, Shanhaiguan will be difficult to hold.The army of the conquest army is too powerful.You must explain this matter clearly to your uncle Wu Zongbing, so that Wu Zongbing can prepare early.

Or take refuge in the conquering army, or attach to the imperial court..."

There was sadness in Zu Dashou's voice.

Thinking that he was still high-spirited before, but in the blink of an eye, he was reduced to such a situation, who would have expected it?

"uncle!"

Zu Zefa cried and knelt down, extremely sad.

"It's settled."

In the end, Zu Dashou only ordered two servants to follow him.

At this time, it is useless to bring all the elite soldiers of the city, not enough to kill the army.

Instead of this, it would be better to bring only two people, to show that he has courage.

The city gate opened, and the three horses walked towards the Ming army's position.

It looked a little tragic.

"Welcome General Zu."

Wang Cai had already prepared a table of food and wine.

Two bottles of Erguotou were placed on the table, the bottles were crystal clear, and there were two boxes of Huazi beside them.

Zu Dashou had seen Erguotou and Huazi before, and after tasting them, he could not do without them.

This thing is really powerful.

Especially the Erguotou.

Zu Dashou has experienced many battles and suffered injuries. His arms and legs were also very uncomfortable in rainy weather due to excessive exertion when he was young.

Some doctors said that wiping the arms and legs with Erguotou and drinking a few sips can greatly relieve the symptoms.

Zu Dashou followed suit, and the effect was quite good.

I heard that Erguotou and Huazi both come from a place called Qiangdi.

But Zu Dashou has been in Kanto for a long time, and his roots are deep, and he sent people to investigate.He knew that the conquest army was also the strong land army.

Not only can you make sharp firecrackers and cannons, but you can also make these exquisite goods...

How could Xiao Xiaoqiang be so miraculous?

Zu Dashou sighed in his heart.

"General Zu is not surprised at Erguotou at all. It seems that you know a lot!" Wang Cai clicked his tongue.

"Our ancestors have been in Liaodong for a long time, so we do know some information. It's no secret that the conquering army came from a strong place." Zu Dashou said.

Wang Cai chuckled, noncommittal.

"In order to invite the general to come out for an interview, we can only use some small tricks. I hope General Zu will not be offended." Wang Cai said.

The corner of Zu Dashou's mouth twitched.

You call it a little tricky?

The city walls are about to collapse for you!
The defenders at the top of the city do not know how many people died.

Even his ancestor Dashou was almost killed by stray bullets at the top of the city.

However, people said that it was a step, Zu Dashou didn't dare not go down, so he could only laugh dryly and say:

"If you don't fight, you don't know each other. General Wang is polite."

"Haha! It's good that General Zu doesn't get angry. Our commander asked me to give General Zu a message..."

Wang Cai was talking about negotiating conditions, but there was no tension at all. Instead, the situation was calm, as if chatting with old friends.

"After General Zu returned, he issued a decree that Jinzhou City will be unimpeded to our caravans and travelers who conquered the military government, and we must ensure the safety of our people within Jinzhou. General Zu must let his men recognize this flag , anyone who holds this flag will be safe from accidents, and anyone who dares to plunder and harm those who hold this flag will be punished no matter how far away!"

Wang Cai said the last four words with a murderous look, and pointed at the flag next to him.

Zu Dashou looked up and saw that it was a red flag with a long curved line drawn on it.

"This is a symbol of our conquest against the military government. The red flag symbolizes hope and also represents the joy of our Han people. The long curved line represents the Great Wall, which is a national symbol. This flag protects all people who are willing to conquer People from the military government." Wang Cai explained.

Then, he continued: "What I said just now is the first. The second is that in the future, the goods under the name of the military government will be sold to Jinzhou. General Zu is responsible for the safety of the goods and guarantees that no one will appear. Officers and soldiers oppressed and extorted incidents, etc. In addition, our goods cannot be taxed.

Article [-], if our conscripts against the military and military government break the law in Jinzhou, they cannot be dealt with according to the court's laws, let alone your Jinzhou's laws, but according to the laws of our strong military and military government.

In other words, you in Jinzhou have no right to arrest people, you can only report the news to us, let us arrest people and try them. "

"You conquering army, entered our Jinzhou city to arrest people?" Zu Dashou's face was a little ugly.

"That's why, there is the fourth article. Our commander is very considerate of General Zu. In order to facilitate the management of our conscript army business brigade, we need to set up a conscript army special office in Jinzhou and send [-] law enforcement officers. Permanently stationed in the special office." Wang Cai said.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Almost as soon as Wang Cai finished speaking, Zu Dashou roared. This time, his tone was very firm.

"How can your conscript army enter Jinzhou City?"

A hundred so-called law enforcement members are a bomb in the city!

If he agrees, the next time the conscript army wants to attack the city, there is no need to smash down the city wall at all, and they can easily win it by directly cooperating with the inside and outside.

"Zu Dashou! Why can't you see the situation so clearly? Do you think we are discussing with you?"

Wang Cai's face drooped suddenly.

"Talking about peace talks with you is to save you a little face. If we want to, take Jinzhou in minutes! Then we can take advantage of the situation to catch up, so that you don't even have a chance to escape back to Shanhaiguan!
It's just that our commander-in-chief has a feeling of compassion and compassion, and he doesn't want Jinzhou City to be devastated, and he doesn't want to cause more crimes, so I give you a chance.Zu Dashou, don't show your face! "

Zu Dashou's eyes widened.

Does your family have a sense of compassion?

Don't want Jinzhou City to suffer?

If it hadn't been for the indiscriminate bombing when the conscript army bombarded the city wall just now, a lot of shells fell into the city and destroyed all the houses, and now there are still many houses on fire...he would have believed it.
