The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 216 Shocked

Tang Qing'an never tripped the leader of North Korea, instead he did his best to maintain his rule.

He himself was short of troops, so he sent thousands of elite soldiers into Seoul to protect his safety, and also tried his best to help him collect domestic intelligence for him.

The king of North Korea has grown from being a puppet in the hands of the rich and powerful who launched the coup to now the throne has gradually stabilized. Who is it that relies on?

Is it his means?

of course not.

It can be said that Tang Qing'an is the most important reliance of the lord of North Korea. With Tang Qing'an's great help, the lord of North Korea is what he is today.

The North Korean king knows what is most important to him.

Therefore, the North Korean army was sent without hesitation.

As the vassal state of the Great Zhou, North Korea learned from the Ming Dynasty before, and now it is learning from the Great Zhou that inherited the Ming Dynasty, and governed the military with literature, and the commander chosen was Fuyi from the original Pingan Road.

Next to Zhenjiang City is the Yalu River, and across the Yalu River is North Korea's Pingan Road.

North Korea's goods and materials were transported to Zhenjiang, all in the hands of Yi, the Taoist government of Ping'an.

Therefore, he is an old acquaintance in Zhenjiang, and Tang Qing'an has also dealt with him several times.

"The envoy of the government."

Tang Qing'an greeted.

A middle-aged North Korean official, very respectful.

Quan Shenxu was born in the imperial examination. This year he was promoted to Suwon Prefecture and Defense Envoy in Seoul, and last year he was promoted to Pyongan Province Prefecture.

Because I am familiar with the Zhenjiang army, I am entrusted with today's important task.

"What is the commander's order?"

An hour ago, the general of the Shang Dynasty summoned the generals of his army, and all three were from the rebel army, so he saw it.

The young Jiedu Envoy of Shangguo in front of him made him feel extremely emotional.

This person will be North Korea's long-term neighbor in the future, and he knows North Korea's national conditions clearly, even within the North Korean army.

North Korea supplies him with a large amount of supplies every year, and now the lord of the country has transferred most of the military power to him.

Is the ruler sincere to Da Zhou, or does he want to eliminate domestic instability?
As a nobleman of two classes, he thought it was the latter.

The lord of the country sent out all the unstable troops in the country, but left four thousand Zhenjiang troops in Seoul. It is better to trust outsiders than to trust their own soldiers.

Quan Shenxu looked at the history books of North Korea, it was unprecedented, and he didn't know how to sigh in his heart.

"What is the explanation of the lord of North Korea?"

Hearing the question from General Shangguo, Quan Shenxu calmed down and answered respectfully.

"Your Highness told me that only the general's military order is to be followed, and all the ministries are united, and they will definitely defeat the barbarians and solve the future troubles of the two countries."

Hearing what Quan Shenxu said, Tang Qing'an was extremely satisfied with this person's attitude.

"Lu Shunyi, Gao Jinquan, and Liu Yiquan in your army, I will transfer to Chen Kai's battalion commander.

Is the envoy of Quanfu willing to attack together with [-] Korean soldiers stationed in Zhenjiang, a total of [-] soldiers? "

Of course not.

But Quan Shenxu dared not refuse.

Seeing that the other party has no objection, it is deemed that he agrees.

Don't mention other people's thoughts, Tang Qing'an really didn't pay attention to the remaining tens of thousands of Korean soldiers.

If such civilian husbands can be counted as soldiers, he can have nearly a million soldiers under his rule, and Dazhou can have hundreds of millions of soldiers.

"Boldly ask the general, how will our department cooperate with the general in combat?"

Quan Shenxu asked.

With the strength of General Tang, he was a little worried that the other party would use his North Korean army as consumables to fill the trenches of the city wall.

"The rest of the North Korean army will follow our Chinese army."

Tang Qing'an sent Quan Shenxu away without saying anything clearly.

Early the next morning.

The army is divided into two parts.

One with Zhu Xiu as the commander, Li Shenghu, Zhang Bo, Peng Dahai, Chen Yu, 4 Jinjiang soldiers, and Wu Zhenmeng's [-] Korean soldiers, a total of [-] soldiers, set off for Deliying City.

The remaining Jinjiang army, reinforcements from all over the country, and the North Korean army totaled nearly 9 people. They arrived at Luangu Pass early the next morning.

In fact, at the normal speed of the army, they should have arrived at Luangu Pass yesterday afternoon.

The reason why the march is so slow is because there are too many artillery in the army, including the too heavy Hongyi cannon.

Tang Qing'an didn't have the slightest reservation in this head-to-head battle with the barbarians.

Victory.

Then even if the barbarians have the Hongyi cannon in their hands, he will not be afraid. In terms of the speed of artillery production, how could he be afraid of the barbarians.

And artillery.

The comparison is who has more, who can shoot far, and who can shoot accurately.

There is no shortcut, the comparison is the national strength.

Failed.

Even if the barbarians didn't have Hongyi cannons, they couldn't defend the east coast. All over Zhenjiang, they could only hide in Jinzhou, various islands, and North Korea.

As for the 200 million Liao people in the guerrilla zone and the rule, they will fall into a historical ending, with supplies and hunger and cold.

With the increase of his territory and population, the guerrilla areas in the mountains can be preserved, but the rear cannot prevent the harassment of barbarian cavalry.

Except for the hundreds of thousands of people in the guerrilla zone, Jinzhou can barely support 60 to [-] people, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to farm smoothly.

There is another thing that he didn't say to others, worried that it would affect the morale of the army.

Why is he fighting?

Because he wants to break into the hinterland of the barbarians and meet the tough people in the hinterland of the barbarians.

The court can't control it, of course he can't ignore it, and he won't sit back and watch the barbarians massacre the people who have no food.

The [-] army was unable to spread out in the mountains, and it stretched forward and backward for more than ten miles. Every mountain top was the camp of the Jinjiang army.

Thousands of barbarians at Luangu Pass looked at the military tents all over the mountains and plains in the distance, and they were not too anxious in their hearts.

It turns out that Fuzhou's barbarian generals Ajiga and Fuangku are the old opponents of Jinzhou general Tang Qing'an.

He was sent to Fuzhou when Tang Qing'an recovered Jinzhou.

When it comes to evaluation.

Tang Qing'an believed that these two people were very experienced in war.

Under what circumstances and what arrangements should be made, both of them made arrangements properly, without wasting any military strength, nor did Jinzhou take advantage of it.

Lieutenant General Fu Angku personally went to garrison Luangu Pass, led his guards, looked at the strength of the Jinjiang Army, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

He has been stationed in Fuzhou for five years.

Watching the growth of General Jinzhou and seeing how the enemy grows stronger, the taste of it made him extremely uncomfortable.

Use the sea to rule barbarism.

This is not only a military strategy known to everyone in Dazhou, but also to all barbarian generals.

The end is great.

The barbarians have power but are powerless. Even if they know that this person will become a future trouble, they can only wait.

This time, it was time to wait until the opponent came head-to-head, but the opponent's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes again.

It is no longer the 800-man defense five years ago.

Now the Jiedushi of the [-]-strong army!

"Amazing."

Hearing the general's words, a guard beside him laughed.

"No matter how many soldiers he has, even though we only have [-] soldiers, he can't do anything to our Luangu Pass!"

Fuangku didn't explain to the people around him why he was sighing, but instead he looked relaxed and followed the words of his subordinates.

"Give him an unforgettable memory."

"Hahaha."

Fangku's words caused everyone to laugh.

Tang Qing'an led the guards and was also on the top of the hill to observe the situation at Luan Gu Pass, and also saw a group of figures at the gate tower.

The other party seemed to be still laughing.

"It was built on the back of the mountain, and the surrounding mountains are steep. One man is the gate and the other is not open. No wonder they can laugh."

Tang Qing'an pointed to Luan Gu Pass with the whip in his hand.

"I'm afraid they won't be able to laugh soon."

Wu Zhenmeng snorted coldly.

"How are the battalions?"

Tang Qing'an asked.

"The camps have been set up, and the pots are being buried for cooking."

After hearing the reply, Tang Qing'an nodded.

Nothing to look at anymore.

Throwing the whip, turned around and left, the guards behind hurriedly stepped forward and left.

Wu Zhenmeng caught it subconsciously, and looked at the general in a daze.

"This credit is for you, let's see how long it takes you to beat this level."

Hearing the general's words, Wu Zhenmeng was overjoyed.

As the general said, times have changed.

The other battalion soldiers were eating, and the artillerymen of the artillery battalion were very busy, cutting down trees and leveling the ground with the peasants.

From morning to noon, they opened up a few positions where cannons of various colors could be placed.

Then pack horses, donkeys and mules arrived at the position one by one, pulling various artillery pieces.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the power of firearms was comparable to that of the West. They were all in the era of Huomen guns and powdered gunpowder.

Western countries compete fiercely, so they give priority to the development of matchlock guns. Daming's scientific research capabilities are not weak, and later it was easily imitated successfully.

It has produced bird guns that are not weaker than Western fire guns, and are among the first-class matchlock guns.

Western artillery is getting heavier, its range is getting farther, and its power is getting stronger, and it has begun to become the dominant player on the battlefield.

Not only because of the change in its technology, but also because the gunpowder has developed from powder to granular form. Although it is still black gunpowder, its power has changed.

These are not epoch-making technologies for Dazhou, so in the past few years, whether it is the Hongyi cannon or the granular gunpowder, the Jinzhou Ordnance Institute has succeeded in imitating them.

Moreover, there were prescriptions for granular gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty, but they were not taken seriously and promoted.

The early Hongyi cannon, because the Portuguese were cunning, did not give granular gunpowder, etc., resulting in a short range and low power.

Up to now.

Wang Fengsu built a church on Jeju Island, which not only attracted several priests, but also brought improved technologies such as prescriptions.

Tang Qing'an was not surprised.

At the beginning, Xu Guangqi of Daming told the priests that if he could help Daming fight, he would be able to make friends with Daming even more and facilitate their missionary work.

Therefore, the priests persuaded the Portuguese in Macau and organized several mercenaries to Ming Dynasty in more than ten years.

The diehards had driven back the Portuguese mercenaries several times before, leaving only weapons behind. The last time they had no way to deal with Houjin, they left behind the Portuguese mercenaries.

The mercenaries also sent technicians to the capital of Daming to help manufacture granular gunpowder.

The Portuguese are not as ambitious as the Spaniards.

After all, their country is dead.

The current Western countries are hostile to each other and regard it as the enemy of life and death. They don't keep technology too secret, because they can't keep it secret.

Portugal kept it secret, and it couldn't prevent Spain, Britain, Germany and others.

So when more than twenty Hongyi cannons were deployed, Wu Zhenmeng was full of confidence.

"Boom."

"Boom."

……

Dashan turned around, making the sound of the Hongyi cannon like thunder in the daytime, making people look pale.

Half of the soldiers in the Jinjiang Army had never seen the Hongyi Cannon, and even with the warnings of the veterans, they were still terrified.

Not to mention domestic reinforcements, as well as North Korean soldiers.

"Is this a cannon?"

Kwon Shin-wook, the North Korean leader, was stunned.

Even he was like this, and the North Korean generals behind him were stunned.

The soldiers of the Korean army are actually bitter farmers. Although a training supervisor has been established, it has long been a mere formality.

Many of these North Korean farmers were so frightened that they bent down, and some kowtowed to the ground in fright.

"General Jin is a god, he attracted thunder."

Some North Korean farmers are ignorant, and the good Jinzhou Tang General is passed down as General Jin in some places. The farther you are from the north, the more so it is.

Hearing his words, the people around him knelt down and kowtowed like him.

Quan Shenxu frowned and scolded them.
