I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 300 The Spanish Proxy War
Chapter 299

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

When Jiannu's broken soldiers ran out of the defense holes in the trench, the Ning Navy artillery, rocket launchers, and thunder cannons, which had already been ready to go, roared together with hundreds of various artillery pieces.

All kinds of artillery fired shells at the fastest speed, and the shells seemed to be like pouring rain, hitting Jiannu's positions that had already been changed beyond recognition, blowing away the fleeing Jiannu soldiers in pieces.

Accompanied by the artillery, a large number of grenades were also thrown at the fleeing Jiannu, and a large group of flames spewed out from Jiannu's position, which was spectacular.

Of course, Ye Jiannu didn't all run away. About five or six hundred Hongbai Yala, who were loyal to Yue Tuo's inlaid red flag elite, did not retreat but advanced, trying to stop the Ning Navy officers and men from chasing Yue Tuo.

These elite soldiers in red armor, like clusters of red flames, rushed towards the Ning Navy officers and soldiers who were pursuing them like a tide. .

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Due to the short distance, these Jiannu are one of the best fighters in a hundred. Although the armor of the Ning Navy officers and soldiers is strong, the problem is that almost none of them shoot at the faces of the Ning Navy officers and soldiers.

For a while, officers and soldiers of the Ning Navy kept being shot and fell to the ground, but no one paid attention to them. Those who fell fell down, and those who didn't fell continued to rush forward!The officers and men of the Ning Navy were all wearing thick breastplates. If they were hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, there was a high probability that they would not be saved. Although this kind of injury was fatal.But, don't worry about it, just keep going forward.

Seeing Jiannu shooting arrows in the face, Ning Haijun officers and soldiers charged forward with their heads lowered, and the probability of being shot in the face or neck is very small. Even if you want to control this kind of thing, you can't control it. Whether you can survive depends on your character... So why hesitate?Just keep going!

Cheng Shijie could see very clearly that these hundreds of Jiannu were frantically blocking the attack of the Ning Navy officers and soldiers, and some of the Ning Navy officers and soldiers were shot down by arrows, but the problem was that they did not stop the wave of the Ning Navy's attack.A mere 600 people want to stop the attack of 9000 people, which is similar to a sand dam in front of the flood.

It is estimated that these Jiannu are also very aware of this point. Facing the Ning Navy army that came like a whirlwind, they are already desperate. In the desperate blocking, Ning Navy's support firepower also followed.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

As the Thunderbolt shot at these Jiannu red tooth larks, a mass of blood mist exploded from the bodies of these blocking Jiannu elites, screaming, hissing, and crashing down, the entire Jiannu on the front line was almost killed Swept away.

Three Red Armored Soldiers who built slaves formed a battle group back to back in the trenches. They were very powerful and killed several Ning Navy soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. Grenades exploded all around them.

The three red armored soldiers were quickly ignited and turned into burning men. They wailed heart-piercingly, jumped out of the trench and rolled all over the ground, their voices were inhuman.

A soldier of the Ning Navy subconsciously pointed his gun at these firemen, and was about to pull the trigger, when a veteran shouted in his ear: "Don't fire, let them burn! They deserve it!"

In the fight just now, this Ning navy soldier was stabbed and suffered severe injuries to his abdomen.

The soldiers of Ning Haijun ignored the burning man, but continued to chase along the trenches of Jiannu. There were not many people in the trenches of Jiannu. Panicked, scurrying around like headless chickens.

Naturally, the soldiers of Ning Haijun would not be polite to them, they wanted to fight, but the soldiers of Ning Haijun who had revolvers shot one by one, even if they were injured!
Ning Haijun's artillery is like a god of death. Wherever there are a large number of Jiannu, they will bombard them. Wherever they go, there are screams, and the screams of Jiannu resound on the battlefield!

There is no suspense in this battle.

Shen Mingyu walked towards Cheng Shijie with a relaxed face and said, "Marshal, we won."

Cheng Shijie looked at the soldiers of the Ning Navy who had fallen to the ground, and his eyes had lost their luster. He sighed and said, "This reminds us that our army equipment is lagging behind! In the face of a new form of war environment, the troops need There is so much more to learn!"

Now Jiannu has only learned the trench tactics of the Ning Navy, and their biggest problem is the serious lack of artillery. If the Ning Navy is allowed to defend such a large area, the artillery strikes will be at least three or four times more intensive.Of course, the more critical thing is that Ning Haijun will concentrate on the superior artillery in the first time and destroy the Huoxu bulldozer.

However, although the power of this steam engine-type bulldozer is not high, and the handling is a bit clumsy, but with the Fire Bull bulldozer, Ning Haijun will definitely be much more convenient when building trenches.

Yue Tuo naturally had no chance to hear Cheng Shijie's words. If he heard Cheng Shijie's words, he would definitely cry like a dog if he thought that the firepower of the Ning Navy and Army was not enough.

Under the artillery attack of Ning Haijun, Jiannu suffered heavy losses. Under the thunder of the artillery, Jiannu's defense line that Jiannu thought was indestructible collapsed in an instant. A large group of powerful fighters rushed over quickly, and there were loud killing sounds everywhere, and they had no way to escape.

Some Jian slaves stood firm in the trenches, resisting desperately, causing some damage to Ning Haijun, but Ning Haijun did not make it easy for them. Grenades smashed into the trenches like a hailstone, and then jumped into the trenches with long guns or engineering shovels to follow Jian Fight with slaves, nail them in trenches with spears, or split their bodies with sapper shovels, even chop off their heads!
As for fleeing...

No matter how fast they are, can they be faster than artillery?Under Yue Tuo's command, they are finished, completely finished!

The battle at Longgang Mountain was soon over.

The Jiannu of Twelve Niulu, together with the more than [-] men and horses of the Mongolian and Han Army Banners, totaled more than [-] men and horses. If it was four years before Chongzhen, these [-] troops could rampage in the encirclement of tens of thousands of Ming troops. .If they dared to attack the defense line of tens of thousands of troops before the Battle of Baliwan.

However, the current Jiannu, with complete fortifications and the cooperation of more than 20 artillery pieces, it is said that it is very difficult for the Ning Navy to destroy them.

In fact, Shen Mingyu attacked three times, all of which came back in defeat. If it wasn't for the appearance of the fire bulldozer, which allowed them to quickly fill up the trenches for building slaves, it is estimated that the losses in this battle would have been even heavier.

Shen Mingyu surrounded the three Huoxu bulldozers, looked up, down, left, and right. He looked at Cheng Shijie and said, "Marshal, this thing is so easy to use!"

"Naturally easy to use!"

Cheng Shijie knew that in this battle, the Huoxu bulldozer actually assumed part of the armor function. This kind of iron guy who couldn't move or shoot through made Jiannu very desperate.

Shen Mingyu continued: "Commander, our troops must be equipped with this kind of fire ox cart!"

"Do you know how expensive this ox cart is?"

"How expensive?"

"More than 4000 taels of silver!"

"Ah... so expensive?"

"The technology is immature now, there are still many problems, and the power is too small, so it runs slowly!"

"That's also needed, we..."

Shen Mingyu told Cheng Shijie his thoughts. He hoped that every general manager would keep at least one of these fire ox carts. Once encountering Jiannu digging trenches, or rejecting the city, they could use this kind of fire ox cart. Che, let Jiannu taste what is impermanence.

Cheng Shijie's considerations were not the same as those of Shen Mingyu. Even if one general was equipped with one fire ox cart, the entire Ning Navy would need to be equipped with about two to three hundred vehicles.

Now that the size of the Ning Navy is too large, it is not cost-effective to equip immature equipment on a large scale. After thinking about it, Cheng Shijie decided to set up an experimental team to experiment with the new equipment of the army.

……

Shenyang, the palace.

When Huang Taiji received more than [-] troops under Yue Tuo's command, and only escaped with more than [-] troops, and almost everyone was injured, his reaction was surprisingly calm. He carefully asked Yue Tuo Ning's navy to attack the Longgang Camp The passage of the defense line.

After comforting Yue Tuo, Huang Taiji looked at the gray sky, speechless for a long time.

Fan Wencheng said: "King Khan, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs..."

Before Fan Wencheng could finish speaking, Huang Taiji smiled wryly and said, "Ning's navy is getting stronger and stronger. Before that, they defeated the elite of the Eight Banners of the Great Jin Kingdom in the field wave battle, and later defeated Zheng Zhilong and Zheng's fleet at sea. I heard that they still After defeating Xiyi, the Ning Navy has considerable fighting power, whether it is land power or sea power, and the situation in Liaodong is getting more and more serious!"

Fan Wencheng also advised Huang Taiji not to be depressed, they still have a chance.

However, Huang Taiji paused for a moment and continued: "It's getting worse and worse. Fan Qing, Ben Khan has an ominous premonition that within a year or two at most, Liaodong will undergo a shocking reversal, and the collapse of the Dajin Kingdom will Starting from Liaodong..."

Fan Wencheng was taken aback and said: "No way? King Khan, are you worrying too much? The servant admits that the strength of the Ning Navy is increasing, but they can only gain some advantages in some battlefields. Our Dajin Kingdom The superiority of the cavalry still exists, even if we can't rush their crossbow array, we can't beat them, how could they completely collapse the Dajin Kingdom? How is this possible?"

"Ben Khan is not sure either. Anyway, Ben Khan has such a premonition... I hope Ben Khan's premonition is wrong."

Huang Taiji thought that he could retaliate against him in his own way. In fact, they used trench and fort tactics to cause less than a thousand casualties to the Ning Navy. In the battle of Longgang Mountain, the Ning Navy still achieved a proud record. A full one to five.

"King Khan, don't think so, we still have a chance!"

"How could there be a chance?"

"Although it is difficult, we still have a chance!"

Fan Wencheng said with a faint smile: "There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, if the master is high, the tail will never fall!"

"Great master, can't the tail fall off?"

Huang Taiji looked gloomy and worried.

"The Ming Dynasty has a long-standing tradition of using civil and military affairs. Those civil servants will not allow Cheng Shijie to be stubborn. Now that Ning Haijun has become popular, maybe those ministers have already begun to plan how to dismember Ning Haijun!"

In all fairness, Fan Wencheng was right. Almost all civil servants hoped to dismember Ning Haijun. They had a lot of civil and military methods, such as dividing and wooing.

In addition to Cheng Shijie, there are also several hills within the Ning Navy. If you look at the ancestral home of the personnel, the Ning Navy is basically dominated by the Shandong Gang and Dongjiang Gang, Henan Gang, Shaanxi and Shandong Gang. It mainly comes from Shandong, Liaodong, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan.

But the problem is that none of these places have formed an absolute hilltop. Take Shen Mingyu as an example. If Shen Mingyu is from Guide Prefecture, Henan Province according to his ancestral home, he should belong to the Henan Gang. In fact, he is The Shandong Gang, that is, the leader of the Dengzhou Guard.

Including Changyu from Shandong, as well as Zhou An, Zhou Yandong, Chen Dayong, etc., the entire Shandong gang is considered the number one force of the Ning Navy, but since the Ning Navy annexed the Dongjiang Army, the Dongjiang Army is now the largest in number.

After the Ning Haijun annexed the Zheng Group, the Fujianese have now become the largest faction in the army, and the surrendered troops of the Zheng Group are trying to twist the Zheng Group's navy and army into one.

The civil servant group of the imperial court tried to win over Li Zhixiang, Shen Shikui, Chen Youyou and other generals of the Dongjiang Army, but it was a pity that they were unwilling to betray Cheng Shijie.

"Counting on them... I'm afraid I don't know how many years to wait!"

Huang Taiji let out a long sigh.

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "Then we will add fire to them. Now Mongolia has completely surrendered to our Dajin Kingdom. We can't beat the Ning Navy in Liaodong, so let's change the direction!"

"You mean..."

"Let's go to Ningxia!"

Fan Wencheng said: "The Yellow River is full of harm, but only profit! We can develop Ningxia, and now Guanzhong has been overwhelmed by rogues. As long as we gain a firm foothold in the Hetao area, we can attract horses south and occupy Guanzhong!"

Huang Taiji is also a person who has read history books. He knows that what Fan Wencheng said has a certain truth. Back then, the Tang Dynasty occupied the world. Now Liaodong is blocked by the Ning Navy, and the Ning Navy has a powerful navy. They want to develop in Liaodong. It's really too difficult. The entire Liaodong Bay is full of Ning Haijun's sphere of influence.

Moreover, the most prosperous areas in Liaodong are all in the coastal areas, and they have no ability to break through the blockade of the Ning Navy.

Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "But our Dajin Kingdom lacks enough talents!"

"Talent solutions can be solved very well!"

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Nowadays, there are not one out of ten people in Shaanxi and Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty. They lack food and funds. The slaves carefully studied the process of Shijie's rise. He just took a group of mud legs to farm in Liaodong. The people are too poor. I don’t have money to build farm tools, and I don’t have money to improve water conservancy and repair ditches. As long as I have money, I can recruit refugees from Daming to develop the Hetao area. Liaodong!"

Hearing Fan Wencheng's words, Huang Taiji became excited: "Fan Qing, I leave this matter to you. I don't have much else, but I have a lot of money. I will give you 50 taels of silver, and I will give you [-] cows." !"

"Don't worry, King Khan, the slave will definitely handle this matter well!"

After Fan Wencheng discussed with Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng to prepare 50 taels of silver, more than 48 head of cattle, and [-] cattle records drawn from the elite of the Eight Banners, and began to march westward to Hetao.

Of course, the Murong tribe of the Xianbei tribe, because the eldest son of Murong Shegui, Murong Tuyuhun, was at odds with his eldest son, Murongxian, Murong Tuyuhun automatically moved [-] households westward to Mongolia in order to avoid the split of Murong and Xianbei. Tuyuhun country.

Huang Taiji moved Haoge and Fan Wencheng westward for the same purpose.

Can't afford it, can't you hide it?
After Fan Wencheng moved westward, Huang Taiji sent his nephew Yuetuo to Liaodong to meet with Cheng Shijie and conclude a peace treaty. According to the analysis between Fan Wencheng and him, Cheng Shijie’s life is actually not easy, and the court will definitely not sit idly by The navy is the only one, and it will eventually be too big.

According to Cheng Shijie's strength, if he wanted to attack Shenyang, it would not be very difficult. In fact, Cheng Shijie had every chance to capture Shenyang.

The reason why Cheng Shijie didn't take the initiative to launch an attack on the Dajin Kingdom was probably not to raise the bandits' self-respect.

Huang Taiji guessed wrong on this point. Cheng Shijie really didn’t mean to support the bandits. His most fundamental idea was to completely eliminate Luzon and develop agriculture in Luzon.

At first, the settlement of Luzon's indigenous wars went smoothly. However, recently, Luzon has also been in trouble. Spain does not want to happily admit the consequences of losing Luzon, but their Spanish Empire is deeply mired in the quagmire of the 30-year war in Europe. Extricate yourself.

Under such circumstances, they decided to fight a proxy war with the Ning Navy in Luzon. This proxy, they chose to be a tenacious and crazy little day warrior.

With the seclusion of the Xiaotian shogunate, the living conditions of Xiaotian samurai became worse and worse, especially a large number of samurai went bankrupt and became ronin.

The Spaniards took advantage of the opportunity to trade with Xiaotian, recruited a large number of ronin from Xiaotian, formed an army, trained them, and threw them into the Luzon War.

These little days can be much more powerful than the natives of Luzon, especially after they go deep into the tropical rainforest of Luzon, they are as flexible as monkeys. From time to time, they attack the logistics supply line of the Ning Navy's army stationed in Luzon, and the Luzon Ning Navy's logistics supply line Something went wrong, which quickly aroused Liu Qingsong's vigilance.
