Chapter 686 Enthronement and Emperor Although Quan Xu wanted to leave the last face for Daming, Chongzhen didn't think so, as an emperor, a proud emperor, how could he bow his head to Quan Xu, a courtier?
However, Quan Xu unveiled his hole cards step by step and put the strength of Liaodong in front of people.For example, the Gun Bureau in Liaodong, the major factories under its jurisdiction, began to work at full capacity, rushing to work overtime, and produce guns.A large number of guns and artillery pieces were produced and sent westward in a steady stream, and the transport convoys on the thousand-mile transportation line were endless.In order to attack Liaoxi, tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong can be said to be all dispatched, and the family of the whole army is so tens of thousands of horses, right?
During this period, the governor of Fujian reported to the capital that Taiwan had begun to carry out a secret mobilization, and about 30,000 horses had begun to go north, and 30,000 horses were divided into more than 200 large and small warships.The Fujian governor's recital has just arrived in the capital on the front foot, and the recital of the Guangdong governor on the back foot has also arrived, and the men and horses of the Qiongzhou Mansion have begun to move frequently, and the secret report has made it possible for the whole army of Qiongzhou to gather more than 20,000 people, and it is expected that the assembly will be completed at the end of the month, and they will go north immediately.Zhejiang merchants reported to the imperial court that the merchant ships located in Luzon were transferred by the Luzon government, and about 1,000 ships were assembled in the ports of Shengzhou and Fengzhou in Luzon, with unclear intentions.They knew that if these thousands of ships of sea were to transport people, they would properly transport 100,000 horses.At this point, Quanxu finally turned over all the hole cards, and the huge strength that he had painstakingly managed in the past eight years was put on the table little by little, which made everyone frightened.Soon, Chongzhen and those Wenchen cliques will painfully realize what a terrifying force they are about to face.When Chongzhen learned of this information yesterday, he hurriedly asked Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "How many guns do we have now?"
How many artillery?
How many people can be mobilized?
”If he has the strength, Chongzhen will not bow his head to negotiate with Quan Xu, for Chongzhen, whether it is Huang Taiji or Quan Xu, in fact, there is no difference, they are all chaotic ministers and thieves.Yang Sichang replied: "At present, there are more than 16,000 muskets, 40 Fulang machine cannons, 36 9-millimeter cannons, 16 12-millimeter cannons, 180,000 guns, 1,200 shells, and 100,000 catties of gunpowder!"
”These pieces of equipment sound like a lot, but in fact there are not much, and the gunpowder is only 100,000 catties, which is only 50 tons, that is, the consumption of a small-scale war, which is almost equivalent to the daily reserve of a brigade of the whole family army.Of course, the whole family army has abandoned the black powder and adopted the more advanced and powerful collodion.As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no contrast, not counting the automatic or semi-automatic rifles purchased by Quan Xu from later generations, but the rifles produced in the late Ming Dynasty, the rear end of the bolt protruding firing pin tailstock and the exposed magazine outside, the butt and handguard contour arc are more obvious, and the bottom of the butt is slightly wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.This rifle is similar to the Mosin Nagant rifle in that it is loaded manually, and the bullet line is based on the 7.62mm rifle cartridge of the later Type 56 gun family.This rifle is slightly different from the AK series of guns in that it consumes less bullets and, with the current combat intensity, is completely sufficient.When most of the enemy is still bows and arrows and firearms, holding a single-shot rifle with an effective range of 500 meters, with sniper scopes can reach 800 meters, and the longest range can reach 1,800 meters, it is a bully.Quan Xu was only able to equip a small number of troops with Type 5 or 6 guns, and some troops were equipped with Type 81 and Type 85, the purpose of which was to reduce the pressure on logistics and supply.Taking the current eight-year-old rifle as an example, the whole gun weighs eight pounds and four taels, the whole gun is 1,308 mm long, and the bayonet triangular bayonet is installed, the length is 1,642 mm, and each soldier can carry a bag of 80 rounds of ammunition, or two 160-round cartridge belts, which can basically fight a medium-intensity battle.This rifle is easy to produce and simple and reliable, which is very much in line with the fact that the degree of industrialization in Liaodong is low and the level of education of the soldiers of the whole family army is low.The design capacity of the Liaodong Gun Bureau is 8,000 pieces per month, but at present, it is working overtime, and the monthly production capacity is about 15,000 pieces.In addition, the Liaodong Artillery Bureau also has the capacity to produce 86 105-mm field guns, 200 120-mm mortars, and 150 80-mm mortars.The most important thing is rocket artillery, the production capacity of this weapon can make Daming feel desperate, it can produce eighty pieces a day, and it can produce two thousand four hundred pieces a month, of course, this is the production capacity under normal circumstances, and now in the case of overtime, one can exceed four thousand.Quan Xu's fundamental principle is that if you are poor, you will be interspersed with roundabouts, and if you are rich, you will be carpet bombed, and with enough ammunition and guns, Quan Xu can bury Daming with bullets and shells at any time.In the face of absolute superiority, Quan Xu was too lazy to play tricks with Chongzhen.At this time, in front of Chongzhen, there was a brand-new eight-year-old rifle, which was not a gun produced purely by the technology of the late Ming Dynasty, but also a part of the technology of later generations.Quan Xu smiled: "Your Majesty, the biggest advantage of this thing is that it is simple, it is very simple to use and maintain, a soldier can learn how to aim and shoot in only half a day, but the lethality is very amazing, there is no armor that can resist the bullets it shoots, a strong man who has only received half a day of training can kill a white armor soldier wearing heavy armor and practicing martial arts for more than ten years by gently pulling the plate machine, is there any more ideal equipment than this??"
”Emperor Chongzhen was a little incredulous, Quan Xu personally loaded Chongzhen with a bullet, and then taught him how to hold his shoulders, how to aim, and how to shoot."
Bang ......"
As Chongzhen gently pulled the trigger, the bullet of the eight-year rifle flew towards the target at a speed of 840 meters per second, which was not the target with the number of rings in later generations, but a humanoid target with two layers of white armor worn by a puppet.Chongzhen put away the gun and followed Quan Xu to the doll and watched the power with his own eyes.The bullet pierced through the heart shield on the armor without delay, quickly penetrated the puppet, rolled inside the puppet's body, and when it entered, it was a small hole, and after penetrating the puppet, it formed a large hole the size of a fist in the back."
Your Majesty, the times are different, science and technology are developing, technology is advancing, each era has different characteristics of the times, in terms of military affairs, the Ming Dynasty has fallen too far behind!"
Jeon Wook shrugged and got up and walked back into the house.Emperor Chongzhen held his rifle with a sluggish face, a little incredulous: "A hundred steps through Yang, it's that simple?"
”"Hehe, what is it to wear Yang in a hundred steps?"
Quan Xu waved his hand, and a soldier with an 85 sniper rifle came up, he pointed to the 85 sniper rifle and said: "This kind of gun can kill people in a thousand steps and be invisible!"
”Chongzhen looked at Quan Xu and said: "I, I will never be the king of the country, I can die, and I will never compromise!"
”"Alas, Your Majesty, to put it mildly, you are irresponsible, you have no way to clean up this mess, and you still count on the prince?"
Quan Xu looked at Chongzhen and said, "Do you think Zhu Cihong has this ability and can turn the tide?"
”Chongzhen sighed: "I am blind, in vain I trust you so much, you are actually Cao Cao's ......"
"Presumably Grandpa Cao also told you, I will not be Cao Cao, nor do I want to be Cao Cao, Your Majesty is not Emperor Han Xian, Emperor Han Xian has always been a puppet since he ascended the throne, first Dong Zhuo, and then Cao Cao, but Your Majesty's today, it is all caused by Your Majesty, you have countless opportunities to turn the tide and change the destiny of heaven, but unfortunately, you missed it in vain!"
”Quan Xu didn't actually tell a lie, everyone is an afterthought, although Chongzhen took over a mess at first, there is still a certain way to make this mess.First of all, Sun Chengzong's fortress strategy, which is actually basically the same as Quan Xu's strategy in Liaodong, to take the way of encroachment to compress the living space of Jiannu, when Sun Chengzong served as the governor of Jiliao, the life of Jiannu was the worst, a stone of grain can be sold for eighty taels, not to mention ordinary people, even nobles can't afford to eat, this is simply to sell grain as diamonds.Of course, some people will say that Sun Chengzong did not drag Jiannu down, and he crossed first, but the problem is that when Sun Chengzong's tuntian strategy began to show results, and it could already meet four or five hundred thousand stone of grain, this policy was cut in half.If you want the donkey to grind, then put a carrot in front of the donkey, Chongzhen should not eradicate the eunuchs, even if he is a son of heaven and a courtier, and he is not worried about Wei Zhongxian, he can let Cao Huachun, even if he is a high dive to take over the power of the eunuch party, maintain the balance of the court, and be a referee himself.At least the eunuchs can guarantee a part of the tax revenue and create a certain space for Chongzhen, but unfortunately, this balance was broken by Chongzhen himself.Quan Xu got up and waved his hand, putting away the rifle in Chongzhen's hand.Chongzhen stared at Quan Xu angrily: "I still want to thank you?"
”"This one is natural!"
Jeon Xu waved his hand.Su Yin sent a piece of information.Quan Xu looked at the information, looked at Chongzhen with a smile and said, "There is a piece of information here, is Your Majesty willing to take a look?"
”Chongzhen looked through the information, and there were very few words on it, only to see that it was written: On November 20 of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Taiji ascended the throne in Kulun and became emperor, the year name Chongde, the capital Kulun, changed the country name to Qing, changed the Jurchen language to Man, and fixed Manchu language to Chinese.Imitation of the Han system (reuse of Han Fan Wencheng), set up hundreds of officials ......
"Chongzhen was naturally very angry, and he put the information in front of Quan Xu: "What do you think of Quanqing......"
"The minister is naturally standing and watching!"
”Quan Xu said lightly: "I naturally know that once this news reaches the cabinet, those ministers will definitely talk nonsense, what is the same day, there are no two monarchs in the country, Huang Taiji is called the emperor against the sky, and the name of the country is changed to Qing, and it is clear that he wants to replace the Ming Dynasty!"
Three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, how could anyone dare to be so presumptuous!
Your Majesty, you must do your best to exterminate Jiannu with lightning speed, firstly, to kill chickens and monkeys, defend the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, also cut off the non-part thoughts of those chaotic ministers and thieves, what is related to the life and death of the society, it is not allowed to happen, sooner rather than later, otherwise a large number of people with wolf ambitions will go to Kulen and take refuge in Huang Taiji Jiannu's strength has increased greatly, and it will be difficult to destroy them again......"
Chongzhen looked at Quan Xu and said: "Shouldn't I be like this?"
”"Yes!"
Quan Xu said without thinking: "But the question is, did Your Majesty ever think that Jiannu was beaten away from Liaodong by his ministers, why did he run from Liaodong to Kulun?"
If you don't know where Cullen is, the minister can show you!
”Speaking of which, Quan Xu found a map of the world, of course, this was not taken directly from later generations, but relied on the information on it and drew it in Daming.Quan Xu pointed to Kulun on the map and said: "Kulun, is a grassland enclosed in Mongolian, the name itself is meaningful, this is not far from the Northern Expedition to Mongolia during the Northern Expedition to Mongolia when Chengzu was in the Kulan Sudden Hypothermia, Kulan Sudden Hypothermia is just east of Kulun, about forty to fifty miles away!"
”If you know the history of ancient military history, you must know that the Battle of Hulan and Sudden Hypothermia was the first battle in ancient Chinese history in which infantry, cavalry, and artillery fought together.Chengzu led 300,000 horses, pursued Mongolia and Hulan suddenly lost temperature, and used the Franc machine of the Shenji battalion to use the "Shenji gun" to bombard, in the explosion of the sky and the earth, the Mongolian cavalry turned on their backs, and there were countless casualties, and the historical records recorded: Kou died without counting!
The Mongolian cavalry, which was lucky enough to escape the blow of the "magic machine gun", rushed to the front of the Ming army, and was attacked by the two wings of the Ming army.Quan Xu is not giving Chongzhen back this glorious victory, but asking Emperor Chongzhen, do you know that Chengzu led an army of 300,000 to the Northern Expedition, and how many people were used to transport supplies?
Chongzhen thought for a while and said: "800,000 people, using 2 million stones of grain and grass, spending money and grain, although hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep are seized, it is still not enough to make up for the shortfall!"
”Quan Xu smiled faintly and said, "Now the imperial court has the ability to organize 300,000 troops to work for 3,000 miles?"
”Chongzhen's face was depressed: "I can't swallow this breath!"
”Jeon Wook is actually waiting for Chongzhen's decision.This decision is very important.For Chongzhen, the emperor, Quan Xu is also a rebel, and so is Huang Taiji, they are of the same nature as each other, and they want to get rid of them quickly.If he really would rather be with friends, not with domestic slaves, and would rather unite with Huang Taiji, he would also eradicate Quan Xu, a rebel minister.Quan Xu won't say anything, and he will give up his last fantasy and do it with real knives and guns!
Carry out the most unwilling strategic action of the whole army, and first use the military to bulldoze the entire Ming Dynasty, and then carry out military management, and then the military management will be excessive for five years.Isn't there no hidden danger in this way, power is like an addiction to poison, he gives power to the soldiers, but are the soldiers willing to give up the power in their hands?
That would certainly create a new round of shocks."
The minister has a plan, Your Majesty will see if it's okay!"
Quan Xu said with a smile: "You give Liaoxi to the minister, the minister is responsible for passing through Liaoxi, and the affairs of Huang Taiji are handed over to the minister, and the minister will capture Huang Taiji for you, and within three years, Huang Taiji will be sent to the capital, and he will be killed or killed, all by His Majesty's thoughts!"
