Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 610 Taichang Arrives

On the southern edge of the Hulun Buir Prairie, more than [-] people are quickly laying rails behind two rows of large machines.

The railway line is extending northward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the dense crowd is also moving northward along with the railway line.

And tens of miles to the north of them, there is a huge car formation.

This chariot array is divided into inner and outer layers. The outer layer is a huge square city with a radius of nearly ten miles surrounded by [-] infantry fighting vehicles and more than a thousand horse-drawn carriages. The inner layer is composed of [-] infantry fighting vehicles and hundreds of horse-drawn carriages. The small square city surrounded by it.

This layout is just like the imperial city and palace.

However, the outer square city is more than double the size of the imperial city, and the size of the inner small city is not comparable to that of the imperial palace.

At this moment, Taichang was standing above an infantry fighting vehicle in the inner square city, turning the latest telescope developed by the Ministry of Industry, and slowly scanning the surroundings.

After the viewing distance of this telescope exceeds ten miles, it seems difficult to improve it. At this moment, the Ministry of Industry can make a precision telescope with a viewing distance of about twelve miles. If it is farther away, the scene will be blurred.

This may be an optical problem. Although Taichang has vaguely heard of it, he doesn't understand the principle, and he can't help it.

Of course, he didn't come to test the telescope, he came to choose a place to build a city.

This place is not so cold, it's already May, and the ice and snow here have just begun to melt.

Perhaps this is due to the influence of the small glaciers, but it was also very cold here, and it is estimated that it can be minus thirty or forty in winter.

This kind of place is not suitable for people to live in. At least, it is not suitable for people to live in these days. If there is not a huge grassland here, it is estimated that nomadic tribes will not come here.

Taichang didn't plan to build a few cities here either. He estimated that it would be enough to build a city that can accommodate 50 million people here. It is impossible for too many people to migrate here at the moment.

As for the Little Ice Age in the future, or the development of this place, the population will increase, and a city will not be able to live in it.

Although the size of the city of 50 million people is not very large, it must have enough water. The problem is that there are no big rivers and lakes on the southern edge of the Hulun Buir Grassland. They all searched for dozens of miles along the way. Yes, still the same.

How to do it?

Taichang thought for a while, then sighed slightly: "If it's really impossible, we can only build the city next to Hulun Lake, Beier Lake or Hailar River."

Uh, this.

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face. He thought for a while, and then reminded: "Your Majesty, it's already cold enough here. If you go further north, it will probably be unbearably cold."

Taichang said helplessly: "We have to consider the water source when we build a city. If there are no big rivers and lakes nearby for a city with tens of thousands of people, the common people may have problems drinking water.

We can’t be like these nomadic tribes, just find a place to set up camp. Anyway, their tribe can only have a few thousand people at most, and a small river is enough. For hundreds of thousands of people, it’s not enough for one person to drink a glass of water a day. Yes.

Besides, the Mongolian and Yuan tribes can survive in the north, and we can definitely do it.

At that time, build the house for Tunwei, make it airtight around, add more boilers for them, and turn on the heating for every household, it should be no problem. "

Everyone was discussing, when suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes from the north.

Hearing this voice, there were only dozens of cavalry at most, and everyone did not show any nervousness. You must know that there are tens of thousands of Liaodong cavalry stationed in the outer chariot formation, and they have so many infantry chariots .

Dozens of riders, even the enemy is no big deal, what's more, the north is basically full of the army of Shenwu Battalion, it is unlikely to be the enemy.

Taichang turned the binoculars curiously and saw that it was indeed the iron cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion. More than a dozen cavalrymen of the Shenwu Battalion were galloping here with dozens of horses.

Is this something urgent, even taking so many war horses to transfer?

Naturally, the iron cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion quickly discovered the formation of vehicles here.

The car array, which was almost ten miles wide, lay horizontally in front of them, and it was hard for them not to see it.

Moreover, the one who can carry so many infantry fighting vehicles at this moment is the emperor's personal guard.

They happened to be here to deliver the memorial, it would be great if the emperor was here.

More than a dozen riders quickly turned around and rushed towards the carriage formation. They reported loudly at the entrance blocked by a carriage, and took out their waist cards to check with the Liaodong Army soldiers above, and then they were released. Enter the peripheral car formation.

Immediately afterwards, they rode straight to the inner car formation.

Seeing this, Taichang directly waved at them.

Soon, more than ten riders came to the command car where they were.

The personal guard sent by Cao Bianjiao immediately took out an envelope, bowed his hands and said: "Report, Your Majesty, General Cao hastened the memorial."

Taichang winked, and a captain in Jinyi immediately took the envelope and quickly sent it to the roof of the car.

When he opened the envelope, he couldn't help showing a hint of excitement.

That's great, Huang Taiji is very likely to be in Harashen Weicheng.

He thought for a while, and then asked, "How far is Harashenwei City from here?"

The personal guard hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, the little one has been galloping on horseback for about five hours, and Harashen Guard City is about 400 miles away from here."

More than 400 miles, not far.

Taichang thought for a while, and then said loudly: "Head the order, pack up the tents, the cavalry and horse convoy go to the back to meet the infantry and young men who are building the road, and the infantry chariots are ready to go."

what?
When Sun Chengzong heard the words, he couldn't help asking carefully: "Your Majesty, where are we going?"

Taichang was a little excited and said: "Let's go to Harashen Weicheng, Huang Taiji is probably inside, and Bianjiao has already led the army to surround the Weicheng."

Even Sun Chengzong didn't expect that Harashenwei City was still there.

At this moment, Jiannu didn't have many troops, and Cao Bianjiao surrounded a lot of them. They drove [-] infantry fighting vehicles without worrying about safety at all.

After careful consideration, Sun Chengzong felt that the emperor would not be in any danger, so he did not speak out to persuade him.

Soon, they set off with five hundred infantry fighting vehicles.

Although the infantry fighting vehicle is slow, it is no problem to run four to five hundred miles a day.

The next afternoon, he arrived at the outskirts of Harasan Guard City.

Cao Bianjiao really didn't expect that the emperor would come so fast, and he didn't launch an attack at this time.

If he launches an attack, he will naturally be able to take down Harasan Guard City.

All you need to do is drive the infantry fighting vehicle up, blast it against the city wall, first dismantle the artillery on the city wall, and then order the infantry fighting vehicle to directly smash through the city gate, rush in and fire a salvo of guns.

Question, the emperor once said that there is a very important person in Huang Taiji's family, and he must not be hurt.

If he accidentally hurt someone, wouldn't he be in big trouble.

He had no choice but to besiege rather than attack, waiting for the emperor's will.

He really didn't expect that what he was waiting for was not the emperor's will, but the emperor himself. Moreover, less than two days had passed!
I have to say, this is a bit unbelievable.

He saw the figure of the emperor in the binoculars and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his hands and said: "The last general will see the emperor."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then turned the binoculars to scan.

Cao Bianjiao's camp was about ten miles away from the city wall, so the latest telescope could see everything on the city wall clearly.

This city wall is guarded by at least a thousand and eight banner elites, and is equipped with more than ten Hongyi cannons.It's no wonder Huang Taiji isn't inside!
He thought for a while, then asked: "Bianjiao, did you ever send someone to call for surrender?"

Cao Bianjiao cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "The last general sent people to shout, but they didn't respond at all."

This was strange, he turned the binoculars and scanned around the Acropolis again, the [-] troops of the Shenwu Battalion had already lined up in a neat array to completely surround the place.

This faction, let alone a small acropolis, even the most powerful city in the world can't hold it back!
Huang Taiji, do you think you can still defend such a small acropolis?
