A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 459 Godly Fire and Flying Crows
Soon everyone entered the camping place, which was originally the place where the soldiers of the Beijing camp camped, and all of them were vacated at this time.

All the cabinet officials personally went into the camp to inspect and point out the deficiencies, so that the recruited officers and soldiers must eat well, sleep well, and rest well.

Under the emperor's full concern, all the staff really devoted a lot of effort and effort to the battle of Jinzhou.

Afterwards, the comforting officials left to reply to the emperor, but outside the barracks, there were still a large number of people in the capital gathering to discuss, and everyone was as excited as going to a market. Many people will never forget the scene of the arrival of the army today.The storytellers in various tea houses and restaurants, I am afraid that there will be a lot of material.

Wang Dou and others lived in the camp, and before they breathed a sigh of relief, a large number of Jingji gentry came to work in the army, and a large number of worship stickers were sent into the camp. Yang Guozhu and Wang Pu, most of the famous posts, wanted to see Uncle Zhongyong Wangdou.

Yang Guozhu refused all these famous posts, and only inspected the camp, rested in peace, waited for the upcoming banquet, and went out for a big parade.

Wang Pu accepted everything, and called all the visitors brothers and sisters, he was very busy.

Wang Dou asked the army to praise the painting, and the intelligence personnel carefully selected some valuable people to meet with them. Even so, they were too busy.

When you were approaching, another important person came to visit unexpectedly, but it was Uncle Xiangcheng, Li Guozhen, governor of the Beijing camp, and Fu Yingchong, the former deputy general of the Shenji camp, beside him.

This was the first Earl of Daming contacted by Wang Dou after he was made an uncle, and he was a veteran earl who had been granted an uncle a long time ago. He hurriedly greeted him out of the camp and brought Li Guozhen and the two of them in.

Uncle Xiangcheng was handsome, less than fifty years old, also wearing python robes, with an extraordinary bearing, he was especially eloquent and eloquent, when it came to military strategy, even Wang Dou could not speak against him.Wang Dou guessed whether Chen Jiugao, the commander in chief of Liugou, was influenced by him.

After exchanging greetings for a while, Li Guozhen, the Governor of the Beijing Camp, sat down and drank a cup of tea, and then said solemnly to Fu Yingchong, the former deputy general of the Shenji Camp beside him: "Qinglin, Zhongyong Bozhi's army is unparalleled in the world. You have this opportunity to fight with Zhongyong." Work with Uncle, cherish it, ah... I brought you here today, just to give you a chance to ask Zhongyong Bo a lot, understand?"

That Fu Yingchong was tall and thin, less than thirty years old, with a shrewd look on his face, when he spoke, he showed two huge canine teeth.From him, Wang Dou smelled the same smell as Chen Jiugao, he was a noble son, and in future generations, he would be a high-ranking official.

The deputy general in front of the Shenji camp got up immediately and said: "The general understands, please rest assured, uncle, it is really a great fortune to have a superior like uncle in the future."

Seeing that Fu Yingchong was taught respectfully, Li Guozhen nodded in satisfaction, and chatted with Wang Dou for a while. There were many hints in the words, so that Wang Dou had time to quote one or two things to Fu Yingchong and let him make some military exploits.

Afterwards Bo Xiangcheng left, Wang Dou sent him off, Fu Yingchong stayed and sent Wang Dou off together.

Li Guozhen said with a hearty smile, "I will send you off without trouble, Uncle Zhongyong, please stay with me."

He glanced at Fu Yingchong again: "Treasure, yes."

Surrounded by his entourage, Shi Shi ran away with his hands behind his back.

Wang Dou and Fu Yingchong entered the camp, seeing that it was getting late, Wang Dou ordered a banquet to entertain the guests from Shenji Camp.

The two started chatting, just like Chen Jiugao, Fu Yingchong was also extremely talkative, it seemed that people from the capital were like this, chatting for three days and three nights without changing his face.He is also very good at drinking, Fu Yingchong is just like Huang Degong, he is a wine jar.

Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the Shenji Camp, raised his wine bowl and said to Wang Dou: "A few days ago, brother Jiugao sent a letter saying that he was under the care of Uncle Zhongyong on the East Road. Brother Jiugao and I played with each other naked, this is friendship. Needless to say, on weekdays, I give him a lot of advice. Under my teaching, he became the chief soldier one step ahead... It's not to be said, Brother Jiugao's friends are my friends, and his affairs are my affairs, Uncle Zhongyong, For Brother Jiugao, I, Fu Daya, respect you."

Wang Dou knew that the people in the capital camp were quite arrogant. Although he was famous all over the world, he couldn't really control them. After all, he didn't pay them their food and salaries. It was quite rare for Fu Daya to put down his stance for his friends.

Wang Dou also had a friendship with this deputy general of the Shenji Battalion who had a large number of Hongyi heavy artillery, and immediately drank it with a smile.

Seeing Wang Dou's straightforwardness, Fu Yingchong couldn't help being overjoyed, and gave a thumbs up: "Thank you Uncle Zhongyong for your face, your friend, I, Fu Daya, have made up my mind."

Fu Yingchong began to brag about how extensive his connections were in the capital, and people from all walks of life would give him a little bit of favor.Especially Uncle Xiangcheng, Li Guozhen, Governor of the Beijing Camp, appreciated him, no, he personally sent him to pay a visit to Uncle Wang.

Wang Dou listened with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart, Jingying, there are not many people who can fight now, so I don't know how this Fu Yingchong is.

It is said that there are three major battalions in the capital, including the Fifth Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion and the Shenji Battalion.In the 29th year of Jiajing, the Sanqian Battalion was renamed the Shenshu Battalion. It consisted of [-] cavalry soldiers and was divided into five divisions. They were in charge of the emperor's flag, public service, military battle golden drum, and imperial treasures.

The Fifth Army Battalion was mostly responsible for drills. During the early and middle Ming Dynasty, it was the general training base for all armies across the country. For example, the squadron was under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Battalion.There are Zhichadaoshou, Weizishouying, Youguansherendezhongying, Xiaoyiying, etc. under his name. They are all the children of military officers and descendants of nobles.

Those who can fight are the Shenji camp. Firearms such as guns and cannons, and any new firearms from the Ming Dynasty are first handed over to the camp for use, such as the Flang machine, the Hongyi cannon, and the Lumi gun.

However, the main forces of the three major battalions were completely exhausted after the civil engineering changes, and the year after year was not as good as the year after.

Moreover, the squad army was reduced to a craftsman, and he was not allowed to enter the gymnastics all year round, and was ordered by the capital's dignitaries to do miscellaneous tasks and hard labor.Most of the battalion soldiers are the sons of honorable nobles, arrogant and lazy by nature, few people usually go to the teaching ground to deal with the drills, and they break up before dark, this combat power...

Of course, not talking about combat effectiveness, but talking about appearance, all the members of the three major battalions are tall and mighty, needless to say their image.Every time the emperor parades, he sees the banners and flags, the helmets and armors, and the officers and soldiers shouting long live, and he is always very happy.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen inspected the city defense of Beijing and came to the military parade outside Xuanwumen.Unexpectedly, when Li Zicheng hit the city, the Beijing army faced the battle. Hearing the sound of artillery, they returned in defeat, and the capital immediately fell.

Wang Dou estimated that only Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, and Sun Yingyuan were capable of fighting in the Beijing camp. This Fu Yingchong...

But regardless of combat power, Fu Yingchong still has some abilities. Not to mention the soldiers of the three major battalions, there are more and more officers.

The generals of the three major battalions, including Deputy, Can, You, Zuo, Zuoying, Haotou, Zhongjun, and thousands of generals, there are nearly a thousand people at this time. Not to mention, the drilling ability is top-notch.

Hearing Fu Yingchong's bragging, Wang Dou suddenly asked: "I heard that the Shenji Battalion is going to fight, and there are a lot of sharp firearms on this trip?"

Fu Yingchong regained his spirits immediately, and said: "Oh, speaking of firearms, my front battalion did bring a lot this time. Let me think about it, besides the thirty Shenwei General Cannons, my sergeants also have more self-generated Lumi guns. Needless to say, the nine-headed bird and other big guns, there are also hundreds of rocket vehicles, and nearly a thousand rounds of big rockets such as the Shenhuo Flying Crow and the Flying Air Attack Thief Zhentianlei. The slave army, can't eat and walk around..."

According to what he said, due to the heavy guns of General Shenwei, nearly ten horses, cows, etc. were required to drag each gun, and the march was slow, so he set off early a month ago, so he was almost at Ningyuan, right?As for the rocket car and other supplies, they set off with their front battalion.

Fu Yingchong patted his chest to Wang Dou: "Brother Jiugao wrote me a letter, asking me to cooperate with Uncle Zhongyong in Paoying. It's nothing to say, I will definitely help Uncle Zhongyong in the same boat, but when the time comes, the military exploits will be, hehehehehe, hehehehehe..."

A shrewd and cunning flashed in his eyes, but he just stared at Wang Dou.

Wang Dou thought that Chen Jiugao didn't have as much thoughtfulness as Fu Yingchong, so he said with a smile, "Don't worry, you can't do without the credit. You also know that I am Wang Dou, when did I treat my friends badly?"

Fu Yingchong naturally inquired about Wang Dou's experience in detail, and after hearing this, he felt more at ease.I thought that when Liaodong came back, I should also become the general soldier, right?In order not to see Chen Jiugao in the future, he would have to be shorter for no reason.

Wang Doujun's factory rarely makes rockets because it is very troublesome to manufacture, but he is still very interested in big rockets such as Shenhuo Feiya and Feikong Zhetian Zhentianlei, so he will inquire in detail now.

The deputy general of the former battalion of the Shenji Battalion also explained in detail. According to him, the large rockets such as the Shenhuo Flying Crow belong to the multi-powder cartridge triple-flying rocket in terms of structure.

The body of the crow is filled with gunpowder, and holes are drilled on the back, through which several chi-long fire wires pass, which are connected to the fire wires of several rockets taking off under the crow's belly. With two wings, it can maintain a flying posture in the air, and smoothly fly to the target to attack the enemy.

The Shenhuo Flying Crow is mainly used to burn the target, while the Flying Air Attack Thief Zhentian Lei flies to the target and explodes. Both of them can also be loaded with poison, ash bombs, etc., and attack the enemy with poisonous smoke and fire lime.

Of course, you have to look at the direction of the wind, lest you fly back and hurt your own people.

Wang Dou murmured, if the gray bottle bombs and poisonous smoke bombs in his army were loaded with divine fire flying crows, flying air attacking thieves and shaking the sky thunder, I am afraid that they would be even more powerful.

The lieutenant said proudly: "With this sharp weapon, a large number of poisonous and ashes bullets will be shot into the enemy camp, and they will be corrupted for dozens of miles, causing the slave soldiers to suffer!"

Wang Dou said in surprise, "Ten miles of erosion? Can flying crows fly so far?"

I wonder if I have underestimated the technology of this era?In this case, I also let the military factory build more, which will be troublesome.

Fu Yingchong was dumbfounded for a moment, and said awkwardly after a while: "This is a so-called claim to surprise and lure the enemy, but the actual range..."

He stretched out two fingers: "If the wind is strong, you can fly over two miles; if the wind is light, you can fly within two miles."

Wang Dou let out an oh, thinking that Liangli is not bad.

Fu Yingchong also said that in his army, there are dozens of large-caliber mortars, which specialize in stone bullets, iron bullets, and some flowering bullets.

Of course, the explosive bombs here are all poisonous smoke bombs, gray bombs, etc., not the imagined fragments that hurt people.

The mortar is light and flexible, but its power and range are not small, but the requirements for the gunner are relatively high. After all, it involves extremely complicated mathematical problems. In terms of actual operation, it is much more difficult than the Hongyi cannon.

Fu Yingchong said proudly: "This cannon, which pierces mountains and breaks ground, is all made of copper. It can shoot ten or fifteen catties of cannons, and can hit thieves two miles away. The smoke is flying and the sound is like a huge thunder. Such as crushing, invincible and invincible, nothing is impossible!"

Wang Dou said loudly: "Okay!"

He thought that with the help of Shenji Camp, he would be more confident in the battle of Jinzhou.
