Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 775: Collapse! Collapse! Collapse!!

"Report!!! The Sheni rebels outside Linzhou City have been defeated!!"

On the chaotic front battlefield, a messenger came running, suppressing his excitement and fear, and reported to Qin Liangyu with a fist: "There seems to be a riot in Linzhou City!"

"Pass on my order! Order all the chieftains and soldiers to go into battle!"

Qin Liangyu tightly grasped the hilt of her sword, her eyes sharp as she said, "The remaining troops will hold the line and advance towards Linzhou City. Without my order, no troops are allowed to attack the city without authorization!"

"Here!!"

All the messengers under his command shouted immediately.

"What are you all doing standing here?" Seeing that none of the officers moved, Qin Liangyu frowned and asked, "Are you still waiting for me to ask you to go back?"

After being scolded by Qin Liangyu, He Huchen, Bai Guangen and other officers came to their senses, clasped their fists in response, and then ran away in different directions.

"This is fucking weird, where did these people come from?"

"I don't know, how can I go to heaven?"

"If this falls down, won't everyone die?"

"Ti Rong is really amazing. He actually figured out this kind of fighting method. Wouldn't it be much easier to attack a city in the future?"

"Stop talking nonsense, and return to your respective units. The Sheni rebels have been defeated, and don't let them break through the defense line."

"That's right. If we don't capture these defeated soldiers, the place will be looted. Hurry!"

The officers and soldiers who were running in all directions were talking to each other in surprise and doubt, but as they chatted, they all jumped on their horses and galloped towards their headquarters.

Although they had never encountered this kind of fighting style before, and although they were filled with shock and confusion in their hearts, when they thought of their respective responsibilities, they put these thoughts behind them one by one.

"Mr. Song, can the hot air balloon made by the Military Equipment and Cleansing Department be mass-produced?" Qin Liangyu didn't care about what was happening in front of her. At this moment, she turned around and looked at someone and said.

"Not at the moment."

Song Yingjing shook his head slightly and sighed, "This thing is very expensive to make. The fabrics and fuels needed are all specially made. The 100 hot air balloons that the Tiger Guards escorted were all produced by the Military Equipment and Cleaning Department. It may take some time to mass produce them. Once the corresponding workshop is built and the cost is reduced, it may be feasible."

"How many times can this thing be used?"

Qin Liangyu pondered for a moment, then looked at Song Yingjing and said.

"Boom boom boom!!"

Just as he finished speaking, a series of explosions were heard in the distance. Qin Liangyu looked in the direction of the sound and saw clusters of black smoke floating in the distant sky.

"Quick! Record it, suspected oil leak!"

While Qin Liangyu was astonished, Song Yingjing frowned and said to the person next to him.

The person in charge of recording was holding a pen and writing quickly in the record book. When Qin Liangyu saw this, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

The group of people led by Song Yingjing were specifically responsible for the development of hot air balloons. They secretly entered Sichuan with the Tiger Guards in order to obtain hot air balloons for use on the battlefield. They would encounter unexpected situations, which might lead to damage.

At present, in addition to the people around Song Yingjing, there are many people scattered in many places outside Linzhou City, using telescopes to observe and record. After the battle is over, all their records will be compiled together.

"General Qin, what did you ask just now?"

Song Yingjing observed for a while, then remembered the question Qin Liangyu had just asked, so he looked at Qin Liangyu and said.

"It's okay." Qin Liangyu waved her hand.

After seeing the explosion just now, Qin Liangyu realized that although the hot air balloon developed by the Military Equipment and Cleansing Bureau was good, it could not be completely relied upon.

"Tirong, General Bai's troops have already joined forces!"

As Qin Liangyu was sighing with emotion, a cavalryman came riding up on his horse. When he came up to her, he clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Everything is going according to plan."

"understood."

Qin Liangyu nodded.

The role of these hundred hot air balloons when they are deployed on the battlefield is not to kill the enemy but to conquer their hearts. With their previous strength in the siege of Yongning Xuanfusi City, if they are deployed again now, the rebel Xia will surely be thrown into disarray.

When the battle of Linzhou is over, She Rebellion will surely collapse, and the only rebellion left in Sichuan and Guizhou will be An Rebellion!!
Qin Liangyu knew that suppressing the rebellion of She Ni and An Ni would take at least three months, or at most half a year, and the turbulent areas of Sichuan and Guizhou would return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty! !
Compared with Qin Liangyu's calmness, Bai Zaixiang, who was on the eastern front, was not so calm.

After all, Qin Liangyu had met the emperor before, but Bai Zaixiang had not.

"Sister, is this someone Qin Tirong invited?"

Bai Zaiying rode on his horse, holding a spear, staring at the dark shadows in the distance. From time to time, fire flashed in the air. He couldn't hide his surprise and said, "No wonder Qin Tirong asked those chieftains to go ahead. With the help of such heavenly soldiers, even if Linzhou City was built into a natural barrier by She Ni, it would be impossible to resist."

"I don't know."

Bai Zaixiang, who had seen many storms, was a little afraid now. "After today's battle, Qin Tirong's name will spread all over Sichuan and Guizhou!!"

"Those scheming chieftains will no longer dare to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. I have to say that Qin Tirong's fight this time was really powerful."

Having said this, Bai Zaixiang looked forward. On the way to Linzhou City, groups of Tusi soldiers were marching in a scattered formation. In this state, if they dared to encounter an attack from a powerful enemy, they would surely be dispersed.

But now?

It doesn’t matter!

The Sheni rebels entrenched in the Linzhou area had long since been demoralized and were fleeing in all directions like mad. Who would have the courage to charge into the battle line?

"Sister, are we going to ignore these defeated rebels?"

Bai Zaiyun, who was standing by, suppressed his suspicion and looked at Bai Zaixiang and said, "These defeated soldiers are from the rebellious chieftains. If they escape from Linzhou, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to the local area..."

"Don't worry, Qin Tirong has arranged everything."

Bai Zaixiang said calmly: "The soldiers from Shizhu and Youyang have been deployed to various important roads. No matter how many escape, they will be stopped at every level. Not a single one of them can escape!!"

A large-scale siege war will inevitably deploy many troops in various places. In addition to the siege team, other teams will also be arranged to take charge of other things.

Qin Liangyu had already had experience in commanding troops and fighting wars. In her early years during the Wanli reign, when Yang Yinglong rebelled, Qin Liangyu followed her husband to join the war. She had seen and heard a lot, so for her, fighting was nothing to worry about.

If you want to have a group of officers who can and dare to fight, you must ask them to fight continuously and summarize continuously. Only in this way can the overall combat effectiveness of the Ming army be improved.

Of course, in order to have such a prerequisite, the grassroots soldiers must be well fed, paid adequately, and rewarded for their merits. Only in this way can the warriors of the Ming Dynasty fight hard on the battlefield!

Zhu Youxiao set himself a clear goal. By the fifth year of the Tianqi reign, the Ming Dynasty must at least complete the reorganization and training of various armies in the northern provinces, southwestern provinces, and northern coastal areas. In particular, the nine important border towns must gradually take back the lost military power and eliminate the so-called power of generals!
Once this strategic goal is achieved, the reform of the Ming Dynasty's guards, whether by abolishing them or setting up new ones, or even by re-assigning the powers of the Five Military Commanderies and redefining the powers of the Ministry of War, can be gradually implemented.

The military power of the Ming Dynasty must be firmly in the hands of the emperor. No one can interfere with it. Any organization is to assist the emperor in controlling the military power.

As long as this step can be completed, even if there is any chaos under the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the future, Zhu Youxiao will not be afraid. With the military power in his hands, he is not afraid of anyone daring to jump up and rebel. At most, he can send troops to suppress and massacre them. This will also speed up his reform of the Ming Dynasty! !
