Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 230 Three Governors

"My lord, we want to make some smaller cannons and put them on vans and light vehicles. However, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up this time."

While introducing the team's equipment, Lin Chonggui also had regrets.

Now the artillery team is equipped with bronze cannons pulled by two-wheeled vehicles, and the cannons they fire are several kilograms in weight, with huge lethality and strong recoil.

Originally, the artillery of the Ming army was mounted on a fixed artillery carriage or on a gun mount, which was inconvenient to rotate, and it was difficult to aim when shooting, and it was also difficult to adjust the elevation angle of the firing range. [

As for the Hongyi cannons weighing several thousand catties, although they are powerful, they are all fixed gun positions and cannot be moved at all.

Only a cannon weighing less than two thousand catties can barely move, but it requires a lot of manpower to drag it, and even so, the moving speed is very slow.

The Fushan cannon team all use two-wheeled cannon bodies, which is convenient for horses to hang and drag, and it is convenient to adjust and aim at the elevation angle, which is a big improvement.

Zhang Shouren has a subconscious doubt about the firearms of the Ming army... If the firearms of the Ming army are effective, how can the Liaodong Ming army, which has hundreds of sharp firearms, have almost no record of winning field battles against the Qing army except for defending the city?

Because of this kind of thinking, Zhang Shouren made almost none of the messy firearms of the Ming army, such as the general gun, the small general gun, the small mouth gun, the bowl mouth gun, the mother gun, the three-eyed gun, the magic arrow... the last one The name is Zhang Shouren, which reminds me of a shameless small country. Although this thing was invented and produced by the standard Ming Dynasty, it has already been plagiarized by that small country, which made Zhang Shouren's impression very bad.

"In the future, let's talk about it after you have tested your power and matured."

No one is perfect, and Zhang Shouren still didn't pay much attention to this matter. Of course, the later test results also surprised him greatly.

When they left the general office, all the inner guard soldiers looked happy, and their morale was several orders of magnitude higher than when they came here.

Anyone, after seeing the preparations for war here, will undoubtedly be extremely impressed.

Fushan Camp is already a steel monster with a deep reserve of war materials and has made all preparations. Under the leadership of their mighty and invincible Master Zhang, they will surely win another great victory.

Many people are convinced of this, even if the opponent is the Tartars who have been difficult for Ming Dynasty to win for decades.

……

……

In October of the 11th year of Chongzhen.

At the beginning of this month, the left and right wings of the Qing army continued southward after destroying the side wall, occupying Miyun and other places, until they joined forces in Tongzhou on the outskirts of the capital.

The situation was so bad that the governor and the chief military officers died in battle one after another. Chongzhen panicked and already wanted to negotiate a peace.

But he is a person who is the first to do things at both ends, grabs good things and pushes bad things. As his courtiers, he also deeply understands his lack of discipline. Therefore, when Chongzhen is in power, there is great resistance and little help, because there are few courtiers at all. Dare to work hard for him.

The rumors of this peace negotiation were not light, but the actual effect was extremely poor, and Chongzhen was unwilling to admit the matter at all, which made the government and the opposition target Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia who presided over the peace negotiation. At that time, Lu Xiangsheng led the [-] Xuanda force and began to go south to help the capital, and he was the governor of the world.

After Governor Lu Xiangsheng proclaimed the Dajun, this extremely exhausted Dajun Town was revived with vitality. [
