Chapter 61 Red Cannon
At the banquet, that young man, oh, that is Lord Jiang Chuanjiang, was very attentive to the "Master Imperial Envoy" with all kinds of enthusiasm, and Hai Dongqing also frequently persuaded him to drink with his leaky mouth, which made the Tartar envoy very excited , Everything that should be said and should not be said has been said in one go.

"Let me tell you, you horse thieves are farts. Have you ever seen a real battle on the battlefield? Have you ever seen it? If you see it once, you will be scared to pee your pants. That battle is really full of heads and blood. Chenghe, when the timid people see this situation, it’s nothing to pee their pants, and some of them were scared to death on the spot, and frightened crazy. Let me tell you, I think back when Master Tong and I went to Mongolia..."

The Tazi envoy was already drunk, and he was already in high spirits. He used his strength to brag about how knowledgeable and brave he was in front of a group of "horse thieves" who had never seen the world, but he completely forgot that he had met him for the first time. When it comes to killing people, they are so scared that they pee their pants, let alone go to the battlefield.

Jiang Chuan's face was still full of spring breeze, and he didn't show his nausea at all on his face.

"My lord is worthy of being the confidant in front of Mr. Tong. Mr. Tong is a famous general of the Qing Dynasty. Your confidant is also brave and unparalleled. How can we green forest people compare with your lord? From now on, your lord will be our role model. Please give me a lot of good words and support from my lord." Jiang Chuan graciously filled the empty glass in front of the Tartar envoy with wine and flattered him with a smile.

"Hahaha, it's interesting, you're interesting. What's your name? In the future, my lord will give you good words and help you a lot." The Tartar envoy pointed to Jiang Chuan and laughed, with a proud expression on his face.

"My lord, this is the bald wolf who is our second in charge. He is my most capable brother. Please take care of him in the future." Hai Dongqing said without losing the opportunity.

That's what Jiang Chuan told him.Although Jiang Chuan felt a little uncomfortable using the bald wolf, but for the sake of big things, he had to endure it. After all, he was afraid that this tartar would become suspicious after hearing the name of the bald wolf.

"Bald wolf? Why did such a fair and clean kid have such a nickname? It's really vulgar. After all, he is a bunch of idiots, hahahaha..." After hearing this, the Tartar messenger took the opportunity to show off his sense of superiority , laughed out loud.

"What your lord said is, how can us rough people be so elegant than your lord? Come on, lord, have another drink!" Jiang Chuan raised his glass, although he really wanted to chop up the grandson in front of him on the spot and feed it to the dog , but his face is still full of spring breeze, with a look of sincere convincing.

The envoy of the Tartars clinked a glass with Jiang Chuan reservedly and drank it down. He pointed at Jiang Chuan with his head up and laughed at Hai Dongqing: "Haitongqing, you are really good as the second leader. You are not bad. You have a bright future."

"It's his honor that your lord appreciates our Second Leader so much. I will rely on your Excellency's care in the future. I was injured during this period, and the affairs in this village are all handled by the Second Leader. If your lord needs help Just tell the second master directly, and what the second master says is mine." Hai Dongqing hissed.

"Okay, my lord is also very optimistic about this kid. I don't think you can serve Master Tong in your current state. I came this time to convey the general order of Master Tong. If this is the case, then my lord will make the decision. Hand it over to the Second Master, how about it?" The Tartar envoy suddenly became serious.

"It's all up to your lord's orders, and I will definitely serve you with all my strength!" Jiang Chuan and the two hurriedly "respectfully" listened to the order.

"Then listen carefully, this time our Eight Banners army is going to attack Datong City, and our Lord Tong is in charge of the most important food and grass escort, so this time Lord Tong thought of you and wanted to give you a chance to enter, three days later At Maoshi, he took his men and horses to Yezhupo to stand by, did you understand everything?"

"My lord, are you really going to fight Datong City this time? Datong City has a high wall and tens of thousands of Ming troops, so it's not easy to fight?" Jiang Chuan asked deliberately pretending to be a novice.

"Idiot, you started to be stupid when you said you were smart. What our Eight Banners army is good at is to fight the world at once. Didn't you see these people and these smart dogs? We Eight Banners warriors dare not even come out of the city when they see them. We only dare to hide in the city Guisun. But if you think that our Eight Banners warriors are only good at field battles and not good at siege, then you are very wrong.

I heard Master Tong said that our Qing Dynasty got a group of craftsmen who could make red-clothed cannons from the Ming Dynasty. In recent years, the emperor has been asking these people to imitate red-clothed cannons, just waiting for the day when they can also use red-clothed cannons to attack There is no need to fill the important cities and towns of the Ming Dynasty with the lives of the Eight Banners warriors, and let the Ming Dynasty know that the Eight Banners army is not only good at field battles, but also good at siege.I reckoned that this time when Datong was going to be attacked, it should be the red cannon that made it, and the emperor wanted to try the cannon with this unsightly city of Datong.Cannon in red, you know?You idiots must have never seen it.Hahaha……"

After the Tarzi envoy finished chattering, he did not forget to ridicule Jiang Chuan and his group of ignorant "horse thieves".

Jiang Chuan had a humble smile on his face, but his heart skipped a beat.

Of course, he knew about the red-clothed cannon, and he also knew that in the original history, firearms had been very popular.

Among them, the most famous one is the red cannon, which can be said to be a magical weapon for attacking cities in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and it can be called the most important weapon of the country.

Originally, the Tartars did not have red cannons. Every time they fought with the Ming army in Liaodong, they would be beaten by the Ming army's cannon. of.

This is also an important reason why the Tatars have not won many important cities of Ming Dynasty, although they are powerful in field battles.

But later, Kong Youde, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, surrendered to Manchuria after the Dengzhou Rebellion, and because of this, he brought a lot of red cannons, so this also made the Tartars have a siege weapon such as red cannons.

Later, the Tartars sent people to keep imitating them, so the number of red-clothed cannons increased, which became one of the main reasons for the significant improvement in the Tartars' siege capabilities in the later period.

I didn't expect that there would be cannons in red in this time and space. It seems that the background of this era is still very similar to that in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

Thinking of these involuntarily made Jiang Chuan's heart heavy.

No one knows the role of artillery in war better than him, who is used to all kinds of cannons, missiles and even nuclear weapons in modern society. The God of War is not called for nothing.

His worry was not only for the survival of Datong City this time, but also for his own future survival.

Because in his understanding, the fortress system is a real cold weapon warfare system, there is no shadow of firearms at all, how can I live with this?
 The second one arrives.There is one more chapter before midnight.International practice, everyone understands (manually cover your face)
