Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 847
Zuma and Atlanta are really depressed at the moment, because they didn't participate in this war.

At the beginning, the coach Lu Xiangsheng asked them to wait under the city wall as a backup support. When they climbed the city wall, the Mughal Empire army began to surrender, and they saw a scene of surrender.

Fortunately, the coach Lu Xiangsheng probably saw that they had not participated in the battle and had more physical strength, so he entrusted them with the task of cleaning the battlefield.

Early this morning, they were pulled to the other side of the river by naval ships, pushed the flatbed cart, and began to clean the battlefield.

About a mile in front of the city wall were some siege equipment that had been burned to ashes.

This is relatively simple to clean up. They only need to pick out the big iron nails inside, then clean up the ashes, and push them into the river with a cart.

Then there are more than 2000 giant siege machines that have not been burned.

This is more troublesome to clean up. They have to dismantle all the siege equipment, pile up the logs as materials for building the camp, and other messy logs have to be split into firewood for cooking.

Then there are cold weapons and muskets all over the place.

To be honest, they didn't even look up to Ah San's cold weapons, because the knives and guns in their hands were many times better than these strange cold weapons.

However, they are still more interested in muskets, because they are also equipped with matchlock guns.

Although the matchlock guns Ah San equipped were far inferior to the matchlock guns they were equipped with, they were still matchlock guns anyway.

In the end, there are a pile of strangely shaped corpses and more than [-] artillery pieces.

Ordinary people would feel their hands and feet go weak after seeing so many corpses, but they didn't feel it.

Because they have buried too many corpses with their own hands, and they have seen more than 20 corpses.

What's so scary about these corpses? Like picking up firewood, they piled all these corpses on a cart, pushed them to the edge of the small woods in the east, dug out big pits and buried them quickly.

The remaining artillery is a good thing. They are also equipped with front-loading artillery, and the number is far less than that on the ground.

If only these artillery could be used by them.

It just so happened that the battle was all over at this time, and Taichang brought a group of guards over to check the results of the battle.

Seeing this, Zuma and Atlante hurried up and asked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can the muskets and artillery seized on this battlefield be used by us?"

What good equipment can the anti-Habsburg alliance give Ah San.

The muskets and cannons are probably eliminated, so use them, and don’t let the enemy kill you to death.

Taichang shook his head slightly, then walked to a cart, picked up a musket and looked carefully.

The barrel of this kind of matchlock gun is rolled up with thin iron sheet, and the inside and outside are not reinforced with hot-melt welding. It is estimated that it will be useless after a few shots.

Rubbish.

He threw the matchlock gun into the car, shook his head resolutely and said, "This kind of gun can't be used, just pull it together with these weapons and melt it into iron ingots."

what?
Melted into an ingot!

Zuma said with a face full of reluctance: "Your Majesty, why can't this kind of gun be used?"

Taichang patiently explained: "You have never seen a gun explode, so you don't know how powerful this gun is.

You must never use this kind of thin iron rolled gun in the future, because the barrel will be deformed by heat after a few shots.

At that time, the bullet card could not come out, and the gunpowder exploded directly from the tail of the barrel.

If you are lucky, you may boil a few blisters to soak them out. If you are unlucky, you will be blown up until your faces are covered with flowers.

Think about it, how terrible it is. "

Well, well, it would be pretty scary if you shot someone and got blown up all over your face.

Zuma could only sigh helplessly, and nodded slightly to show that she understood.

But Atlanta couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, do you think these cannons can be used?"

Hearing this, Taichang squatted down and carefully checked whether there were any sand holes on the outer wall of the gun barrel. Then he shook his head slightly and said, "These cannons can't be used either. The inner wall is too rough, and when it gets hot, it will jam the shells, and it will explode at that time. The explosion of artillery is more terrible than the explosion of muskets."

what?
For a long time, they had fun for nothing!
When Zuma and Atlanta heard the words, their faces were full of disappointment.

Seeing this, Taichang thought about it carefully, and then comforted him: "Don't worry, the thickness of the barrel of this kind of artillery is still acceptable, and the casting is quite good, without any trachoma.

Obviously, what the anti-Habsburg coalition sold to the Mughal Empire was semi-finished products that had not been refined.

If you want to use it, I can order someone to take it to New Jinling City, use a boring machine and a grinder to reprocess the barrel, and then match it with the shells we made. "

Zuma and Atlanta couldn't help being overjoyed when they heard the words: "Your Majesty, we want to use it, please do me a favor."

Taichang nodded without hesitation: "OK, no problem.

You have traveled tens of thousands of miles to help me fight the war, can I not help you with such a small matter?

You pull these cannons and sports cars to the pier, and let the sailors send them to the ship for the transfer of grain, grass and supplies to New Jinling City. When the time comes, I will arrange for you to process them. "

Zuma and Atlantis cupped their hands again and again after hearing the words: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

Taichang smiled slightly and said: "Remember, only by helping each other can we advance hand in hand, even if you build a huge empire in the future, you must not forget it.

If you suspect each other and tear each other down, no matter how powerful the empire is, it will perish! "

Both Zuma and Atlanta nodded and said: "We must keep the emperor's teachings in mind and never forget them."

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Lu Xiangsheng had already brought a group of guards to beat the horses with excitement.

Seeing this, Taichang quickly raised his hand and waved it.

Soon, Lu Xiangsheng rode over and flew down, clasped his hands and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, we have won. This time we have achieved an unprecedented victory."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked: "How is the result of the battle, have you counted it?"

Lu Xiangsheng still couldn't help but excitedly said: "The minister has ordered people to make a rough count, this time we wiped out more than 120 enemies and captured nearly [-] million.

From the Mughal Empire down to Shah Jahan, three princes, more than a dozen governors, and hundreds of high-caste officers were all captured in one fell swoop.

In addition, we also seized nearly [-] war horses and millions of stones of grain, as well as the millions of taels of silver raised by the Mughal Empire from various places to buy arms. "

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but nodded and said: "Very good, this time is indeed an unprecedented victory.

By the way, how about our casualties. "

Lu Xiangsheng excitedly said: "Your Majesty, since we mainly use artillery to destroy the enemy, supplemented by ceramic incendiary bombs and rocket launchers.

These are all long-range attack weapons, and we basically did not engage in close combat with the enemy.

Coupled with the effective persuasion by Ahara and others, we have no casualties. "

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help being overjoyed and said: "Very good, Jiandou, you have made great achievements this time, and when you take down the Mughal Empire, I will crown you king!"

Ah!
When Lu Xiangsheng heard the words, he quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, you can't do it. There is no precedent in the Ming Dynasty for a different surname to be a king!"

Taichang smiled slightly and said, "Why not, isn't Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, a king with a different surname?"

It was a gift after death, okay?

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, and then suggested: "Your Majesty, it's really unacceptable to be crowned king with a different surname. If you can posthumously give a humble minister after his death, you will be smiling."

What is this?

Taichang firmly said: "Destroy a country, gain hundreds of millions of people, and thousands of miles of land, if you still can't be crowned king, wouldn't the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty be chilled?

You don't need to talk about this anymore, you should think about how to destroy the Mughal Empire. "

Uh, well, it seems that there is no need to discuss this matter.

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "How is the cleaning of the battlefield? We have to deal with these prisoners quickly."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng quickly raised his head and looked around.

The soldiers of the Black God Army are really quick at work. Not only have the weapons on the ground been cleaned up, but even the corpses of 20 enemy troops have been buried.

He couldn't help but bowed to Zuma and Atlanta: "Thank you two, I didn't expect that you could clean up the battlefield here so quickly."

Don't do this!
Zuma and Atlanta hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Master Lu is too polite. If you have anything to do, you can just give orders. Our Black God Army will never hesitate to die."

You are here to help, so naturally you have to be polite.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded slightly, thought about it carefully, and then estimated: "Your Majesty, the battlefield here is almost cleaned up, and the battlefield over there may be cleaned up today, but there is a troublesome matter, which is really a bit tricky, my minister. Don’t know how to deal with it yet.”

Taichang couldn't help asking curiously: "What trouble?"

Lu Xiangsheng quickly explained: "Your Majesty, it's like this, the Mughal Empire brought thousands of war elephants this time, we can't fight the prisoners in close quarters, we can only use artillery to bombard them from a distance.

As a result, the thousands of war elephants seemed to have gone mad after being wounded by the artillery, and they were running around across the boundary river at the moment, and I didn't know how to deal with it. "

Fuck, are these war elephants so powerful?
Cannons can't kill them!

Still mad?

Taichang couldn't help being curious: "How many shells these war elephants have eaten, they can still run around."

Lu Xiangsheng reckoned: "These war elephants took roughly seven or eight thousand rounds of shells, some more than a dozen, and some lesser five or six.

However, their heads are protected by something similar to armor, and other places seem to be harmless.

In addition, we all used [-]-jin Thor cannons, which were not very powerful, so these war elephants were not seriously injured. "

Alas, it's a pity that war elephants are too heavy, otherwise it would be pretty good to form an army of war elephants.

Taichang thought for a while, and then said decisively: "Well, I ordered someone to send a report, and asked the King of Siam to send someone to deal with it. After all, they also have a lot of war elephants, so there should be a solution."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded again and again: "Then there is no problem, and the other places will definitely be cleaned up today."

Taichang then asked again: "What do you think about how to deal with these captives?"

Lu Xiangsheng said without hesitation: "I am going to divide these prisoners into two batches for custody. Shah Jahan, those princes and governors, and those high-caste military officers, I am going to send them to Xinwuwei City for custody.

The remaining ordinary civilians and soldiers are going to let them set up dense camps within five miles of the city wall, so that we can not only use the artillery on the city wall as a deterrent, but also facilitate food delivery.

Weichen then ordered the Southeast Camp, Nanyang Camp and Shenwu Camp to be stationed in the north, sandwiching them in between, it should be almost done. "

Well, yes, this Lu Xiangsheng is indeed a rare and handsome talent. He is not only good at fighting, but also quite experienced in dealing with post-war affairs.

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, let's do this."
