Chapter 211 Qiu Zhaolin’s Explanation
Huang Taiji's surprise attack had a huge effect. He detoured through Mongolia and entered the north of the Ming Dynasty from the Great Wall Pass west of Shanhaiguan.

Originally, the Liao people and the Ming Dynasty only had one battlefield, Ning Jin.

Because Yuan Chonghuan controlled the elite of the northern Ming Dynasty, he also had extremely powerful military talents.

Huang Taiji's father, Nurhachi, was defeated when he attacked the city guarded by Yuan Chonghuan, returned seriously injured, and finally died.

The ten thousand enemies that Liu Zhenhua used first appeared on the Ningjin battlefield.

Now, the opening of the second battlefield seems to be as unstoppable as the endless water. The Qing army will go south several times in the future, basically eating the land of the Ming army from the second battlefield.

Huang Taiji was very arrogant, with an army of 100,000, attacking Zunhua, Liangxiang, Gu'an, Xianghe, Yongping, Shunyi, Qian'an, Luanzhou and other places.

Yuan Chonghuan, on the other hand, led his army to enforce martial law in the capital. They knew that Huang Taiji's army had strong soldiers and horses. The 100,000-strong army had been fighting all the way and was no longer tired.

Yuan Chonghuan had keen military intuition. He knew that the best time to deal with Huang Taiji's 100,000 troops was when the opponent detoured through Mongolia and invaded the border. At that time, Huang Taiji and his 100,000 troops had to travel long distances. , very tired.

If there are enough troops.

To deal with the Liao people, they have always relied on strong city walls and firearms. Now the opponent's army is 100,000. Although the imperial city has the most firearms in the entire Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan always feels that it is not enough.

Now, when he heard that Emperor Chongzhen asked him to give up research and cooperate with Yuan Chonghuan to create more gunpowder, his expression suddenly changed slightly, "Your Majesty, this is Maxim."

Emperor Chongzhen's expression changed when he heard this. If he hadn't seen that Xu Guangqi did have real materials, he would have stripped Xu Guangqi off long ago. Now he dared to speak disobediently, "How long have you been studying, isn't the Maxim machine gun still useless?" The clue is, now that the Liao army is approaching the capital, we are still thinking about what Maxim will do."

Xu Guangqi's lips twitched, and he didn't know what to say. He took a deep breath to clear his head a little, and then realized that he had to create firearms now.

If Ming Dynasty could not withstand this Liao attack, he would have no way to study the Maxim machine gun.

"As Yuan Chonghuan said, let Xu Guangqi cooperate with you," Emperor Chongzhen made a decision directly. He had his own judgment on this matter and did not need to ask the ministers.

Now that the enemy is approaching the capital, these ministers also know that the advice they provide is of no use, and they still have to rely on Yuan Chonghuan, a general who has fought with the Liao people for several years.

He cooperated with Yuan Chonghuan in making firearms, but who would make the Maxim machine gun.

Yuan Chonghuan suggested that he came with a large army. If Huang Taiji had not gone south, Emperor Chongzhen would probably be suspicious of this behavior and directly kill him. However, if Huang Taiji had not gone south, Yuan Chonghuan would not have come.

need more.

If it is said that this fire gun can kill more than a dozen people with ten or twenty shots in a row, it will not make Yuan Chonghuan disbelieve it, but please report in the newspaper that this thing can kill hundreds of people.

A bandit is obviously a person who deceives the public with his evil words. Can't these ministers see it?

There were even some calls to move the capital within the capital, which made Emperor Chongzhen very angry. However, after killing several palace maids and eunuchs, he had no choice but to drop the matter because he could not find the source.

Yuan Chonghuan even had the confidence to go out and fight head-on, without having to rely on fortified cities and powerful artillery.

However, so many people were talking about the miraculous abilities of the Stove King at the same time, so Yuan Chonghuan had to believe that maybe the Stove King was really capable.

There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned.

He looked like a dying old man.

However, Yuan Chonghuan didn't understand why the rumors about the Stove King in the court were basically deified, with everything changed, magical weapons, magical weapons, etc.

This Xu Guangqi is with the Maxim machine gun every day, twelve hours a day, almost eleven hours in front of the Maxim machine gun.

Xu Guangqi's eyes were red, not to anyone, but to study Stove King's Maxim machine gun all day long, and his hair was almost half white.

short time.

"According to what I see, the capital should be under strict security. There are already enough soldiers in the city. Now we should make more firearms to deal with Huang Taiji's possible troops coming to the city."

As for the so-called Maxim machine gun, Yuan Chonghuan also saw it. It was indeed a bit strange. It looked like some kind of firecracker. When he heard that two people could control it, it could kill hundreds or even thousands of people in a short period of time. At that time, he didn't believe it.

The Kitchen King actually withstood the encirclement and suppression of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and had divided his troops to occupy the two prefectures of Shaanxi and the first prefecture of Shanxi. The troops were divided into three groups, which could be said to be a serious problem for the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I just made a mistake. I hope your Majesty will not take it to heart. I will do my best to supervise the manufacture of firearms and gunpowder."

"Report! Qiu Zhaolin, the governor of Henan, wants to see you. He has something important to report!"

Xu Guangqi cupped his hands and said.

Yuan Chonghuan listened to Emperor Chongzhen's voice and looked at Xu Guangqi and the Maxim machine gun. He had heard about it. He had basically heard about all the major events that had happened during this period.

Otherwise, they would not be able to withstand the encirclement and suppression by the governors of the five provinces of Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly, a soldier rushed into the hall with his hands raised.

The surrounding ministers looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that the Liao people were so fast. It was just winter and the Liao people were about to approach the capital.

"This"

However, no matter how much he researched, there was still no progress. He didn't understand why this happened. He created ammunition suitable for the Maxim machine gun, but it just couldn't be fired.

Emperor Chongzhen's anger subsided a little. It seemed that Xu Guangqi did not intend to disobey him. He should be studying the Maxim machine gun too hard, and Emperor Chongzhen saw it.

"I know that Aiqing wants to study the Kitchen King's Maxim machine gun. I promise you that if the gunpowder firearms are manufactured this time and meet the time and quantity standards, the Maxim machine gun will be entirely up to you. Even if it is dismantled, I will not I will blame you. If you cannot reproduce the ammunition of the Maxim machine gun, you will reproduce the Maxim machine gun. However, if you go ahead and do it, I will not punish you whether you succeed or fail."

This was the most shocking thing for Yuan Chonghuan. He was the governor of the five provinces, and he was always polite when he saw him. He was the highest official position in the Ming Dynasty.

But now there is no chance. They can only rely on the tall city walls of the capital and the advanced firearms in the city to deal with Huang Taiji and his troops.

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, and what he said made Xu Guangqi's eyes red. The emperor could support him so much, what else could he say? He quickly bowed, his body almost forming a right angle, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

he stammered.

He also asked the governors of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty to rebel and lead horses for him.

To be able to become the governor of five provinces is enough to show that this person must be very capable, and he must also gain the trust of the emperor. But such a person actually directly joined a rogue bandit with a reckless background!

During this special period, Emperor Chongzhen said that as long as it was an urgent report, he would be informed regardless of time or occasion.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Henan, the hinterland of the Central Plains, had previously been reported to him by Qiu Zhaolin, saying that the Kitchen King was besieging the city.

He still knew about Fucheng in Henan. The city was high and the water was deep. If he couldn't retreat, the Kitchen King would have to pay a huge price to capture Fucheng.

Now, just how long has passed, Qiu Zhaolin has arrived, which means that Henan Prefecture has been completely lost. Moreover, other prefectures and cities may not be able to resist the Kitchen King, because the governors have come to the capital to report in a hurry.

"Let him in."

Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his swollen temples. Why were everything squeezed together?
Emperor Chongzhen felt that heaven was not blessing him with the Ming Dynasty.

Disasters continue to occur in Shaanxi, Henan and other places.

Let the bandits be so rampant.

Now, when the rogue bandits are about to invade the Central Plains in large numbers, the Liao people from the north are also heading south.

Some of the Liao people who had been stuck in the Ningjin defense line for many years just happened to bypass Mongolia and opened a road directly to their capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Qiu Zhaolin staggered into the hall and looked at the ministers around him who were also looking at him.

These ministers and generals who were high up in the temple probably would not have thought of what happened to him in Henan.

Qiu Zhaolin fell to his knees directly on the ground. His mental state seemed a little bad. After all, he suffered such a big blow in Henan, and now he was tired from traveling all the way.

"His Majesty."

Qiu Zhaolin fell to the ground and shouted tremblingly.

His Majesty's voice was so heartbreaking that it made everyone cry.

Emperor Chongzhen stood up from the dragon throne and looked at Qiu Zhaolin who was kneeling on the ground.

The governor of a province could be made to look like this.

It was scrawled all over, like a beggar begging for food.

What exactly happened to him?
The surrounding ministers couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene.

If it were them, they would probably end up with the same fate.

"Tell me slowly, what happened."

Emperor Chongzhen said slowly.

"Your Majesty, Henan Fucheng is in ruins. It was conquered by the Kitchen King."

Qiu Zhaolin said these words tremblingly. Even now when he thinks about it, he still can't believe that this is what really happened.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally guessed that Henan Fucheng was destroyed.

He looked at Qiu Zhaolin, there should be more next.

"The Stove King came alone and captured Henan Fucheng without spending a single soldier."

After Qiu Zhaolin finished speaking, the whole hall instantly became audibly silent.

What they heard was that the Kitchen King captured Henan Fucheng without spending a single soldier.

The most important thing is that Kitchen King only has one person.

Relying on yourself, you can directly destroy a city.

You might as well just tell everyone in the city to join the Kitchen King.

There had never been anyone in the previous information about Kitchen King’s capture of the city. It is said that the Kitchen King won the city with one soldier and one soldier without any effort.

Those people also know that there is a huge difference between failure and failure like this.

"Tell me in detail!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Qiu Zhaolin and said that something terrible might have happened, otherwise Qiu Zhaolin would not look so lost.

Qiu Zhaolin raised his head slightly and glanced at Emperor Chongzhen.

I originally thought that the emperor would be furious after hearing this, but now it seems that after so many things, the emperor has a certain understanding of the Kitchen King's strength.

Looking at the people around him, the ministers all looked in disbelief, and there were even some generals who looked at him with expressions of disdain.

"Contempt it, ridicule it."

Qiu Zhaolin no longer cares about the opinions of the people around him.

He even had a slight expectation that if King Zhao came here, he would capture the Ming Dynasty's capital in the same way.

What should be the looks on the faces of these ministers?

"The Kitchen King stands in front of the city."

Qiu Zhaolin said slowly.

From the emperor to the palace, all the noble officials looked attentive. They wanted to see how the Kitchen King could take over this Henan city by himself.

When Qiu Zhaolin said that the Kitchen King was going to use a magical chariot to attack the city, they all showed disdain.

What kind of magical chariot can travel thousands of miles in a day? It is estimated that a few horses can be conjured up to pull the chariot.

Moreover, even if he travels thousands of miles a day, how can the Kitchen King prove it?

"Kitchen King, in front of everyone on the city wall of Fucheng, he transformed into a magical chariot."

"It's more than three feet long, more than one foot wide, and more than one foot high," Qiu Zhaolin's voice was slow.

The military commanders, civil servants and even Emperor Chongzhen slowly opened their mouths. It was three feet long. If it were erected, it would be higher than the city wall of the capital.

This car must be so huge.

"However, at this time, the soldiers on the city wall are still able to maintain stability under the maintenance of the guilty ministers."

The expressions of the generals changed slightly. Such a huge creature suddenly appeared out of thin air. Qiu Zhaolin was still able to keep the soldiers on the wall calm.

It is enough to show that Qiu Zhaolin also has two brushes.

"Of course, in an instant, the Kitchen King's sacred chariot made a rumbling sound, like the sound of thunder in the sky shaking the whole world."

"Then, the Kitchen King's sacred chariot moved slowly," Qiu Zhaolin said, slowing down.

"The sacred chariot is extremely huge. There are no horses or people pushing it, but its speed is getting faster and faster."

"The Kitchen King drives the sacred chariot around the city wall."

Having said this, the surrounding civil servants and generals were finally no longer so calm.

The Kitchen King actually transformed into a magical chariot, and he actually had a way to prove that this magical chariot traveled thousands of miles a day.

It turned out to be such a despicable method.

Isn't it a great humiliation to keep spinning around Fucheng?

"Henan Fucheng is eight miles in circumference, and the Kitchen King is more than fifty steps away from the city. However, the Kitchen King's sacred chariot can be used in less than half an hour after making twenty rounds."

"Hiss, less than half an hour, one hundred and sixty miles, or even further."

The surrounding generals all exclaimed in surprise.

Isn’t it possible to travel more than three thousand miles in one day?

They originally thought that Stove King's statement about traveling a thousand miles in a day was a joke.

But today they seem like a joke. They travel three thousand miles a day while the Ming Dynasty only travels a few miles from south to north.

If there was this magical chariot, wouldn't it be possible to travel all over the world in one day?

If the Kitchen King wants to.

Can't you come over now?
