Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 438
"..."

At [-]:[-] on the second day, when Yuan Xipin woke up, only the headlight was left in Babu's bed, but Zhu Youjian, who was lingering last night, was not there.

She stood up, feeling a little comfortable and a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness has gone to deal with the memorial, may I ask your Majesty if you want to sleep again, or are you going to get up for dinner?"

Yang Yuanai's voice came from outside Babu's bed tent. Yuan Xipin learned etiquette in the palace, so she naturally knew that Yang Yuanai was the number one female official in Prince Qi's mansion.

Apart from her, her niece Yang Rushi and Li Dingguo in the mansion are the golden boys and jade girls of Prince Qi's mansion respectively, and there is no contempt from the high-ranking people for the low-ranking people in their hearts, but a soft-spoken response:
"How long has your Highness been down?"

"About six quarters of an hour..." Yang Yuanai stood outside the tent and responded, and continued:

"His Highness has explained that today's breakfast is mainly for the empress. If you feel that you are still lacking, you can take a rest."

"No need, I'll get up now." Yuan Xibing's voice came out, followed by the sound of "swishling" dressing from inside the tent.

By the time Yuan Xipin stretched out her Oubai arm and pushed aside Babu's bed curtain, she had already put on her middle coat, and outside the window stood Yang Yuanai and the other four maidservants.

"Kill these Mongolian barbarians!"

"If your empress gives birth to a son with His Highness, the son must also be very cute."

Watching this scene, Yang Yuanai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Yuan Xibing is the hostess of the palace. If they are not easy to talk to, then their life will be rather difficult.

Yuan Xibing knew that this girl was Yang Rushi yesterday, so she naturally wouldn't scold her. She has a moderate personality and likes to be quiet, but she likes to watch other people play lively.

The drum-beating chariot was pulled by two horses, and it was beating drums as it headed towards the ancient city of Harbin.

"Thank you for your blessings."

"Bam—"

For a while, the war horse neighed, and the northern prisoner screamed.

When Nurhachi was beaten to death by Qin Bangping's white soldiers under the city of Shenyang, he remembered the benefits of artillery. However, due to Zhu Youjian's improvement, the artillery of the Ming army reached the power of Western cannons.

That is his younger brother Dodo, who is only 16 years old this year.

Walking beside Yuan Xipin, Yang Rushi's original poisonous tongue disappeared, and what he said was full of praise for Yuan Xipin.

At the head of the ancient city of Harbin, when the general of the Jurchen soldiers found out that something was wrong, he immediately blew the wooden whistle. At this time, their artillery had been firing repeatedly for two hours.

Seeing that the shield car was less than three hundred steps away from the moat, the general at the top of the city raised his sword and shouted, and the five guards next to him blew their wooden whistles.

After washing up, Yang Yuan'ai ordered the maid next to her to pass the meal, and then took Yuan Xibing to the glass vanity mirror, and began to draw and make up her eyebrows.

He thickened, widened, and heightened the walls of each city according to the book of war, and he didn't care about various rituals at all.

"It's very quiet..." Zhu Youjian had something to say in his words, and then he walked into the left side hall without waiting for the people next to him to recall.

Thinking of Daikin's current predicament, he finally chose to accept the order.

He could clearly see that the Jurchen soldiers in the ancient city of Harbin were firing cannons indiscriminately, and those stone bullets did not hit the Mongolian cavalry cruising around at all.

In the past few years when Huang Taiji was in power, Nurhachi recovered from illness, but the power has actually been controlled by Huang Taiji.

"Yes!"

As soon as he entered the hall, Yang Rushi yelled towards the Xuqin Hall, and Zhu Youjian, who was processing the memorials inside, also smiled and put down his ink brush, and raised his head to confess to Wang Chengen:

"By copying one by one, you can't match Zhu Youjian's flexibility."

It's not that the Europeans don't want to play this way, but their output of saltpeter and artillery does not allow it.

Of the fifty two-jin stone bullets, only six hit the two shield vehicles, and only hit the shield vehicles, and finally got stuck in the layers of partitions of the shield vehicles.

"It works! Shoot again!"

Three armies raised [-] soldiers and launched an attack on the ancient city of Ha'er in the north of Xishen City in the middle of the night on October [-].

But right now, after hearing that their side only had [-] catties of artillery, the participating generals of the Beishan Jurchen Army immediately showed embarrassment.

"How much gunpowder is there in the city?" The general turned around and asked the garrison next to him, and the garrison looked at the wooden barrels storing gunpowder under the city, and immediately replied: "It's less than [-] catties!"

Although Zhu Youjian had restricted Guo Sangdai before, they still had about [-] artillery pieces.

"Bang bang bang-"

The muffled cannon roared, and stone bombs were fired at the predetermined height, skimming across the moat with a piercing whistling sound, and landing with a bang.

"Dorgon, build siege equipment, they probably don't have much gunpowder."

The Mongolian rangers who received the order retreated one after another, leaving the Jianzhou Eight Banners in three layers of heavy armor.

Therefore, the ancient city of Harbin right now is like a King Kong porcupine, whoever bites it will bleed out a mouthful of blood.

"put!"

It's nothing today, maybe he held it in for too long, but if it's Yeye Shengxiao, I'm afraid he will soon follow in the footsteps of his cheap dad.

In terms of clothes, she chose a crimson jacket and skirt, which was more suitable for daily travel, probably because according to the etiquette, she and Zhu Youjian were going to the inner court to meet the emperor and empress.

Yuan Xipin looks like a girl from the Western Regions. Although she doesn't have an oval face that conforms to the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty, her facial features are beautiful no matter how you look at it.

Although Guo Sangdai didn't have much experience in commanding large armies, he had some books on defending the city written by Zhu Youjian specially for him, as well as various supplies from Ming Dynasty.

When the rest of the people saw entering the hall, they went in with him one after another, but Zhu Youjian didn't see Li Dingguo after entering, so he sat down and asked, "Where is Dingguo?"

Although Huang Taiji encouraged craftsmen to forge artillery, the quality of their gunpowder and artillery did not improve much.

It is normal for Zhu Youjian to be unable to hide his joy, after all, he has not known the taste of meat for ten years, and it is inevitable to have an aftertaste once he tastes it occasionally.

The drawer was full of ornaments made of gold, silver and jewelry. Yang Yuanyuan took out a small pear flower stick and handed it to Yuan Xibing, beckoning her to guide her.

Their artillery stopped, and Huang Taiji on the top of the mountain also saw this scene with clairvoyance, and he said to Jierhalang without looking back:

"Let's go too!" Hearing the beating of the drum, Dorgon immediately ordered to the left and right, and took the siege equipment to kill towards the ancient city of Ha'er.

"This city is the most difficult city to crack besides Nuergan, but as long as you crack it, the other cities will not be a problem."

Fifty cannons and [-] catties of gunpowder, this is at most enough for two and a half hours of uninterrupted fighting.

Azig led 3000 people with red flags, and 6000 Mongols were the former army.

In the same way, Dorgon, who had assembled the siege equipment, also led 16 armored soldiers with two white flags together with the 3000-year-old Duoduo. Once they gained an advantage in the front, they would not hesitate to attack the city with the siege equipment. .

"With so many cities, how much gunpowder can this city get?"

"Just hang them like this, wait until they run out of gunpowder, and then send dead soldiers to go up first..."

Yuan Xibing was very willing, and knew that the harmonious atmosphere in the inner court would help Zhu Youjian. Perhaps this was the reason why Zhang Yan chose her as the princess.

After receiving Huang Taiji's order, Dorgon and Duoduo turned and left, and began to order the Han craftsmen of the rear army to make siege equipment.

When Yuan Xipin heard that she didn't need to enter the palace, she also relaxed.

"Change the shotgun! Get ready for the bed crossbow!"

"Keep marching, don't raise your head, it won't hurt you guys, the ranger retreats!"

It's just that they are a happy married couple, but compared to them, Huang Taiji at this moment seems to be devastated...

At present, if both Ming and Mughal choose to cut off the saltpeter trade, then only Daming and Mughal in the world can deploy thousands of cannons and bombard them continuously for dozens of days.

The three of Azig didn't know it. They commanded the army forward, thinking that they could rush to the root of the city wall by taking advantage of the gap between the artillery.

Wu Ya suppressed nearly ten thousand soldiers, which put great pressure on the Beishan Jurchen soldiers who had only trained and had never fought a thousand-man battle.

When Azig got the order, he immediately frowned, because pushing the shield cart needs people with red flags to do it, and Mongolian rangers can't do this kind of thing.

It's just a pity that in the face of the Golden Kingdom's shield vehicles dozens of steps apart, their scattered shelling did not hit too many shield vehicles.

Huang Taiji used 6000 two yellow flags and [-] Mongols as the central army.

"Then take some and distribute them to the five empresses in the name of His Highness."

They flew several feet away, and the armor pieces on the chest part of the armor flew randomly.

Yuan Xibing was very amused by her, and reached out to hold her hand, just like holding a cousin at home.

"It's very simple..." Huang Taiji took off his helmet, revealing his ugly money rattail, and said against his fat body:
"My big gold is in front, no matter how much Zhu Youjian relies on these savages, it is impossible to give them enough food and gunpowder."

"Take care of me, don't let these Mongolian barbarians enter the city!"

What he wants is not food from the ancient city of Harbin, nor is it for killing people, what he wants are those dozens of Yanshan five-jin cannons!
"stop!"

When the Battle of Restoring Liao Dynasty was over, Jin Guo was defeated and retreated outside the customs, and then Nurhachi fell ill, the regime was in turmoil, and when Huang Taiji suppressed Daishan and Mangurtai, the gap between their artillery technology and the Ming army was even greater.

Seeing that his side had made great achievements with crossbows on the bed, General Beishan yelled, and excitedly walked to the side of the drum and snatched the drumsticks, and beat the drum vigorously. Many soldiers on the city wall heard the words and yelled these shameful words one after another.

Huang Taiji asked Jierhalang back, and Jierhalang also frowned: "But this is the closest city to us after all."

"I don't want food and cities, I just want artillery!"

They chatted and laughed all the way, chatting about interesting things about the past in the mansion, until they arrived at the Cunxin Hall, and Yuan Xibing, Yang Rushi, and Yang Yuanai walked into the hall.

Huang Taiji's words exposed his ambition, artillery, which can be said to be the pain of Jin Guo.

All kinds of siege equipment were pushed onto the battlefield, and facing them, the Beishan Jurchen General at the head of the city also turned around and shouted:

"Beep--"

Facing the ancient city of Harbin that must be conquered, Azig commanded the armored soldiers with red flags to push the shield cart forward, followed by Mongolian rangers.

"Let's talk about it later." Zhu Youjian nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

"Brother Huang said there is no need, just take a good rest." Zhu Youjian took a sip of soy milk, and then added two spoonfuls of sugar.

Yang Yuanai and Wang Chengen also sat down, which surprised Yuan Xipin, but she soon regained her composure.

Even if they have not experienced a war, they are actually much stronger than the Ming army ten years ago.

"push!"

"It's the closest city to us. It should have the most gunpowder and the most artillery." Huang Taiji said, squinting his eyes:

"It should be that the gunpowder is insufficient and I want to save money, but this is not a problem."

"Kill kill kill—"

It's just that compared to their counterattack, Huang Taiji, who was watching from a distance, seemed confident:

"Your Highness! It's time to eat!"

With the familiarity, the maids also let go a lot, and are no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning.

"Bang bang bang-"

Just as Yang Yuanai responded to Yuan Xipin's words, she saw Yang Rushi trotting all the way to the door of the bedroom.

Perhaps because of the different times and the different situations they faced, Zhu Youjian put too much pressure on them. Therefore, the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin are now much united and less fighting than in history.

After putting on the clothes and jewelry, Yuan Xipin glanced at the cloakroom, and Yang Yuanai shook her head:

Therefore, when the ten fire dragons were released from the water, they quickly crossed three hundred steps, and disintegrated from the first-stage rocket, and exploded after the second-stage rocket rushed dozens of steps.

Yuan Xipin nodded slightly to show that she understood, and then asked Zhu Youjian:
"Do you want to wear a formal dress to see Banzai and Zhonggong today?"

"Crash, Fork, Spike, Yaksha, Rolling Log, Knife Cart!"

They don't have the immovable courage that the Ming army has now, but this is not shameful, nor is it surprising.

Immediately afterwards, she began to try to integrate into the dining table and the atmosphere of Prince Qi's Mansion. She didn't leave until the breakfast was finished, but said to Zhu Youjian:
"Although the prince has to accompany the princess for ten days after his wedding, the affairs of the inner court cannot be done according to the etiquette system."

Accompanied by the general Beishan shouting, the soldiers on the watchtowers lit fire dragons and released the water.

Lu bus, cloud car, flying bridge...

The output of artillery depends on whether the gunpowder can keep up, so gunpowder is the top priority.

"Your Majesty's meal is ready, is it Shang Cun Xin Palace or Changchun Palace?"

Azig, who was following the drum beating chariot, kept giving orders, and the guards kept running to remind the ministries.

The artillery of the Ming army had cooled down. Seeing the Jin army approaching, General Beishan immediately waved the command flag and shouted:

Perhaps thinking of what happened last night, Yuan Xibing lowered her head slightly after saluting.

Facing them, the fire dragon out of the water is no longer effective, what will really come in handy will be the platform crossbow and artillery.

"continue!"

Yang Rushi loves Yuan Xipin, as for the other five concubines, she also went to peek at them, they are all beautiful, and she also likes them all.

Perhaps in the field, they would be defeated by Huang Taiji, but in terms of defending the city, without the betrayal of the inner ghost, they could hold on like the Ming army.

Wearing white armor, Huang Taiji sat in front of the yellow tent, captured it with his hands, and watched the battlefield with clairvoyance for an unknown number of years.

"Concubine Wei and Concubine Li in the East Three Palaces are related to Xungui and the feudal kingdom after all. If Your Highness is not tired, you can go to accompany them for the next two days."

"It doesn't matter. At my age, I was more lively than her at home. This palace is too big, so it would be good to have more lively people."

Ten bed crossbows were fired, but with a bang, the bed crossbows, about ten feet long and as thick as arms, pierced through a shield chariot, and at the same time piercing through the shield chariot, they instantly knocked into the air the two gold soldiers pushing the cart. .

Yuan Xibing's eyes were dazzled, and after choosing for a long time, she chose the relatively simple hosta and some earrings and pendants.

During this period, they destroyed many shield vehicles of the Mongolian soldiers, but did not kill many people.

Looking up, the seven orifices have begun to ooze blood, the eyes are red, and the mouth is constantly gushing blood, and it is no longer possible to live.

"I was sent by the prince to practice equestrianism." Yang Rushi smiled and waited for Yuan Xipin to sit down, and then followed suit.

"I'll do it myself." Seeing a court lady wanting to rinse her mouth, Yuan Xibing was not used to it, so she took the toothbrush by herself.

This kind of multi-stage rocket recorded in the "Wu Bei Zhi" of the Ming Dynasty is often used for water attacks, and the range can reach two and a half miles.

But speaking of it, Concubine Liu has the same beauty with makeup and without makeup, so after painting for a long time, it can only be said that her complexion is better.

"Yes!"

Next, it was close combat.

Due to Nurhachi's personal preferences, after the 46th year of Wanli's capture of Fushun, although he obtained a large number of craftsmen, Nurhachi did not use them to forge artillery, and even Fushun's artillery was cast into weapons.

He got up and walked towards the left side hall of Cunxin hall, and when he walked out of Xuqin hall, he saw Yuan Xipin and others waiting at the gate of Zuo side hall.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian felt that his waist was tight, and he couldn't take care of digestion, so he turned back to Xuqin Hall to deal with the memorial.

With an order, the shotgun was loaded, and the bed crossbowmen waved their mallets one after another, smashing the mechanism open.

Such trauma did not cause much damage to the shield chariot, and the Jin army still pushed the shield chariot forward.

"Kneeling is not customary in the house, just bowing." Zhu Youjian turned sideways and approached Yuan Xipin, and leaned back after explaining a word.

"Even if you can't keep it, let their teeth collapse!"

"Yes!" Dorgon replied, at this time he was alone, and beside him was a younger general.

"嗤嗤" the sound of the fire rope burning continued, and when the fire rope burned out, the golden army shield chariot approached twenty steps away again.

"Do the other sisters have these jewelry?"

Although the ancient city of Harbin is small, Guo Sangdai used pig iron and cement to pile it up into a "bronze wall and iron wall" with a height of three feet, a base width of four feet, and an upper floor of two feet and six feet.

"There are some, but less than one-tenth of the empress."

Although the southern part of the city wall is only [-] steps away, there are ten watchtowers, and each watchtower is equipped with defensive weapons such as artillery, crossbows, fire dragons, and fierce fire oil tanks.

In this situation, Huang Taiji knew very well that he only needed to let the Mongolian cavalry repeatedly run towards the city wall to exhaust the gunpowder of these savages.

A funny scene appeared. The Jin Army, who called Beishan Jurchen a savage, was now called a Mongolian barbarian by Beishan Jurchen.

Yuan Xibing did not follow, but prepared to learn more about the inner court of the palace.

"This group of people has never fought a war. Although they fight well, they are all obviously Zhu Youjian's."

"If so, you must know the etiquette in front of your empress." Yang Yuanai looked at Yang Rushi who was trotting all the way, frowned and scolded her softly.

After finishing everything, Yang Yuanai took Yuan Xibing to a cloakroom, and Yuan Xibing looked at the clothes on display, feeling very novel and said:

Huang Taiji turned his head to give instructions to a young white-armored general next to him, and this five-foot-three-inch young general was the historical regent of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo Dorgon.

"On the messenger shield car, if they don't fire, we will attack the city."

Although this did not cause any fatal damage, it still made the Jin army mess up.

"After dealing with these, let's send them all out. I will deal with the rest when I return from the palace after breakfast."

After they left, Ji Erhalang, who was sitting next to Huang Taiji, asked:
"Brother, how do you know they won't have too much gunpowder?"

"Dong dong dong..."

After all, it was Zhang Yan's choice. Yuan Xibing was very knowledgeable and knew that a woman was not enough for the prince, so she consciously asked him to find Wei Pingyang and Li Shaoxi.

After adding a little picric acid, it can reach a range of three miles, and after exploding over land, it will fly out iron sand, which has a great effect on disrupting the enemy's formation.

"The wild man's cannon is the same as the Ming dog's. Seize the time of half a cup of tea and beat the drum!"

"The maidservant takes orders..." Wang Chengen responded with a smile, and the reason why he smiled was because he felt the joy in Zhu Youjian's heart.

At this time, Fushun's low-quality iron cannon made by ordinary craftsmen can't bring him back any situation on the battlefield.

After Yingzhou was recovered, Yang Wenyue even sent three 10,000+ stone cement and 10,000+ catties of pig iron to Guo Sangdai.

"Save it, don't light the fire until they're fifty paces outside the walls!"

Seeing Yuan Xipin get up, Yang Yuan'ai moved a stool, and Yuan Xipin sat there, watching the maids wipe her cheeks and comb her hair.

To put it bluntly, unless they are infected with the same man, under normal circumstances, women prefer to look at beautiful women more than men.

The two dislike each other, but in terms of blood, it seems that the original three Jurchen branches of Haixi, Donghai, and Beishan are more representative of the Jurchens than Nurhachi.

"Is this a room dedicated to storing clothes?"

Now it seems that most of the people in the mansion are quite satisfied with the Princess Qi chosen by Zhang Yan for the mansion of Prince Qi.

Accompanied by his order, more than [-] various defensive equipment were pushed from the city onto the horse path, and finally pushed onto the city wall.

Almost on the same day, it seemed that to "celebrate" Zhu Youjian's wedding, Huang Taiji led his troops northward to join forces with Jierhalang, Azig and others.

"Set the fire dragon out of the water!"

The participating general hurriedly gave the order, and the garrison also responded quickly, sending orders to the posts.

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot—"

"Thank you, ma'am!" Yang Rushi fell in love with Yuan Xipin even more after hearing this.

"As for breakfast, let's go to His Highness's Cultivation Hall."

Generally speaking, Guo Sangdai couldn't fight, let alone command the army to fight with the Jin army, but he was obedient, and he made turtle shells exactly according to the military manual Zhu Youjian gave him.

On the other hand, Zhu Youjian was bold, stepped forward and took her hand, knowingly asked: "How was your rest last night?"

They carried gold basins and towels, toothbrushes, dental medicine, and a shelf with hot water on the side.

"Your Highness slept peacefully, and my concubines naturally slept peacefully too..." Yuan Xipin replied with a blushing face.

Although he really wanted to taste other people's meat, it was not good too often.

Jierhalang used 6000 taels of white flags and [-] Mongols as the rear army.

"Yes, His Royal Highness entrusted Long Live to knock. Your Majesty can see what you are going to wear today and what jewelry to use." Yang Yuanai responded with a smile, and opened a long hidden drawer.

Although the [-] Beishan Jurchen soldiers here were caught off guard and killed hundreds of Tangqi, after the Jin army arrived at the city, they quickly reorganized under the command of the general, and relying on the city wall, they used artillery to attack the Jin army. The army counterattacked.

If you have to give them a grade, then they are the same as the Ming army battalion guarding the city ten years ago.

"put!"

Gunpowder was a rare commodity before the [-]th century, and there are very few "local tyrants" like the Ming army and the Beishan Jurchen army who used dozens or hundreds of cannons to bombard them for several hours. .

The general raised the drumstick in his hand, roared towards the sky, and at the same time swung it down heavily.

Azige watched the Ming army's artillery ring, and immediately raised his hand to let the army's drum beating car beat the drum.

The small ancient city of Harbin, with a circumference of only two miles, relied on fifty Yanshan five-jin cannons in the city and a thousand bird guns that were eliminated by the Ming army. They effectively organized a counterattack and defeated the Jin army's offensive.

The sound of "bang bang bang" kept ringing, and those Mongolian rangers who raised their heads curiously were strafed by the flying iron sand. Although the shots could not penetrate the armor, they could burn the exposed skin of them and the horses under their crotches.

At this time, on the south wall of Ha'er, about two hundred steps away, fifty cannons at intervals of four steps fired in unison!

"Obey!" Jierharang complied, and sent the order to Azig of the former army.

The husband and wife have a division of labor, one outside and one inside, but they also complement each other.

For example, right now, Huang Taiji simply abandons his own inferior artillery that can attack the city from a long distance to surprise the ancient city of Harbin, using the most stupid method of consumption and hand-to-hand combat.

"Beep-"

Accompanied by his instructions and the sound of the wooden whistle of the guards, the bed crossbowman reloaded the crossbow, stirred the plate, and then raised the hammer to smash it down...

"Boom!"

　Thanks to the leader of the "XuS" book friend for the reward, one update is added today, which is four points for the first update, seven points for the second update, and ten points for the second update.
