I'm a big dick

Chapter 341 Eunuch Wei's thoughts, the elite lure the battle
When Eunuch Wei and Qian Baihua walked out of the palace, they both understood the emperor's thoughts.

Although there is no relatively clear and thorough plan, it is already determined to keep Wu Changchun's soft bone, make good use of it, and ruthlessly trap the big traitor Li Yongfang.

"Old Qian, you should also think about how to operate to make the emperor happy." Eunuch Wei ordered in a sharp voice: "This time I can take the credit of the Zhenfu Division, thanks to your work in the Hechun Tower." The information obtained is the major case that has been solved.”

Qian Baihua clasped his hands and replied: "It's easy to save in a humble job. After racking my brains, I have to think of a way to share my worries for Long Live and make my boss look good."

Eunuch Wei laughed, stretched out his hand to pat Qian Baihua, and said, "The Miscellaneous Family cares about you. You have also seen today that the emperor rewards meritorious ministers generously."

After a pause, Uncle Wei sneered, and said, "Right now, apart from the wars in Liaodong and Southwest, what the Emperor is worried about is the corrupt officials below. You saw it in the Hechun Building too. On the surface, the guy with a good face has hidden secrets. How unbearable."

Qian Baihua nodded vigorously, fully agreeing with Mr. Wei's words.It is said to be arty, but many people's prostitution is indeed of low quality and disgusting.

Since the owner of Dongchang is inside, and Wansui is very dedicated to purging the officialdom, there is no shortage of opportunities to make meritorious deeds, so there is no need to worry too much about Zhen Fusi's dominance.

Wei Zhongxian promoted himself this time, and Qian Baihua also understood the deep meaning of it.He was born as Jinyiwei of the Zhenfu Division, and although he is now the head of the East Factory, there is still such a layer of separation after all.

This is also the limitation of the East Factory. The eunuchs are the bosses of the factory, but the eunuchs cannot be used below. It is inconvenient to work!The transfer of people from Jinyiwei is also a traditional operation of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor's deep meaning may be hidden in it.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian also knew how to win over the people below to make meritorious deeds for himself.

Don't look at him now as the governor of the East Factory, the power he possesses and the work he has done have shocked all the officials.But he also knew very well that as an eunuch, all of this came from the trust and bestowal of the emperor.

If the emperor replaces him, will the work in the East Factory be paralyzed? The answer is obviously no.It's the subordinates who actually do the work, and it's the same if the position of factory supervisor is replaced by someone else.

It is precisely because Eunuch Wei realizes that he is not irreplaceable that he will work harder and have the means to win over the people below.

It is normal for a leader to be kind to his subordinates, and the emperor is not very good at it; but to make friends with officials, Eunuch Wei knew that the emperor's handwriting could kill him.

As the governor of Dongchang, he can't cover the sky with one hand in Dongchang. Eunuch Wei has a clear understanding of this.He firmly believed that there must be the emperor's eyes and ears in the East Factory, and that allegiance to him was his only way out.

If the emperor wanted to fight corruption, he would thoroughly investigate the family backgrounds of those officials; if the emperor wanted to deal with officials and businessmen, Eunuch Wei urged his subordinates to investigate and find out.

Point to the east and turn to the east, point to the west and turn to the west. If the emperor wanted to deal with it, his Eunuch Wei would jump up and bite like a mad dog.

Eunuch Wei was not ashamed of this, but worked harder.Because he has seen through the emperor's temper, if you live up to the emperor's favor, the emperor will naturally not unload the donkey and kill the donkey, and will give you a good death.

Today in Qianqing Palace, the emperor generously gave him the commendation of Yin Dudu and Zhizhi, which made him more respectable in front of his subordinate Qian Baihua.

Of course, the division of labor between outsiders and insiders has not changed, and the Wu Changchun case was transferred to the Zhenfu Department.But this is not important anymore, Eunuch Wei's goal of grabbing merit has been achieved, and he has won the lottery from the emperor.

In Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao asked Luo Sigong to be summoned, and he picked up Wu Changchun's confession and studied it carefully.

After cracking this major spy case, Zhu Youxiao was not so happy.

Even if Wu Changchun sneaked into the Ministry of War and obtained military affairs newspapers, it would be difficult to pass them on in time.

But this guy was able to open the way with money, and got the appointment of the Ministry of War as an imposter, which made the emperor furious.

Ji Yingcheng and others deserve to die, Zhu Youxiao squinted his eyes, and the fate of Ji Yingcheng and others had already been decided.

As for Wu Changchun, a weakling, let him be spared for the time being, send him to Nalan Zhongming, and disclose the news to Houjin. It should be able to add trouble to Li Yongfang, a big traitor, right?
Zhu Youxiao had made up his mind, and with a sneer, he casually threw the confession on the desk.

I wanted to get up and leave the hall to relax, but Zhu Youxiao glanced at the half-open title book on the desk, and sat back helplessly.

The title was written by Shen Tingyang, and it is about the pros and cons of expanding sea transportation and reducing water transportation.Obviously, Shen Tingyang has gone through some research and research, which is more detailed and detailed than the previous "Please Advocate a Small Test of Shipping".

At the beginning of the court discussion in the court, most ministers believed that "payment in Liaodong is better than sea transportation", that is, they agreed to use sea transportation to transport grain and payment to Liaodong.

Part of the business volume was allocated from the water transportation, and Zhu Youxiao believed that the goal was basically achieved.Sudden cessation of all water transportation is unreasonable, but gradual reduction is a sound strategy.

However, Shen Tingyang's performance again made Zhu Youxiao ponder whether it is feasible to further reduce water transportation.He had to be cautious when it involved the jobs of tens of millions of people.

What's more, to reform the water transport, we must first start with the water transport officials, which also involves the prefectures and counties along the water road, and the dismissal or transfer of a large number of officials.

I'm not ready yet!Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time, shook his head, and reluctantly put away Shen Tingyang's notebook.

Getting up and walking out of the palace, Zhu Youxiao walked down the steps casually, admiring the flowers and trees planted in the courtyard.

With light steps behind her, it was Fan Xiaohui who followed.She has already received Li Chengcheng's advice, knowing that the emperor is thinking at this moment, don't disturb easily, just follow and wait for orders.

Zhu Youxiao really didn't care who was following behind him, he walked and stopped, his eyes seemed to be watching flowers and grass, but his thoughts were already flying outside.

………………… Divider…………………

The changes in the form of warfare and the growing strength of the opponents have been felt by Jiannu for more than a year, and the generals of the Later Jin Army have a clearer understanding of this.

Sahalian narrowed his eyes, the smell of gunpowder smoke blowing in the wind was not too strong, but it still made him very uncomfortable.The point is that the battle has been going on for half an hour, but the result made him annoyed and disappointed.

The smoke was blown away by the wind, and amidst the gunshots that were as dense as popping beans, Sahalian saw the flickering flames again, saw his own troops falling continuously, and heard the screams and wails from time to time.

In front, three small phalanxes of the Ming army were distributed within a distance of [-] meters, resisting the wave of Jiannu's attack.

In the distance, the roar of guns, flickering flames, loud explosions, and the clatter of horseshoes showed the intensity of another battle.

It has to be said that it was a successful strategy implemented by Jiannu to separate the advancing Ming army.This is also the plan set by Daishan's voluntary retreat.

Although the chariot formation of the Ming army was strong and the range of the artillery was astonishing, it was not omnipotent.

Due to the limitations of roads and terrain, it is impossible to rely on chariot formations to push forward in the vast and undulating wilderness as a whole.

Daishan also had this idea in mind. During the retreat, he divided his troops into several thousand-man teams, preparing to take advantage of the gaps in the Ming army's actions to carry out interspersed and divided attacks.

The opportunity was finally caught by Daishan on the second day. Three Ming army squads acted as forwards, and the finished glyphs advanced to this rugged and hilly area.

This is also the helplessness of the Ming army. They can't carry the chariot forward, right?
Of course, the [-] Ming troops got off their chariots and prepared for an attack. They set up a battle configuration of spears and muskets, and there were dozens of cavalry as early warning.

When the hidden Jiannu galloped on their horses and launched an attack, the cavalry sent out the warning and then went to notify the brigade behind. The three Ming troops quickly took advantage of the terrain and took a defensive position for help.

There are no chariots, no artillery, just a few hundred muskets, but they have been supported for such a long time.Although the casualties were not small, it caused even greater damage to Jiannu.

Because the terrain was not conducive to chariots, it also hindered the cavalry. The three Ming troops occupying the mounds and groves faced the Jiannu who dismounted and fought.

Sakhalian now has some doubts that this is a deliberate flaw by the Ming army to lure his own army into a siege, and took the opportunity to kill and injure a large number of his soldiers.

Until now, even if all three Ming armies were wiped out, Sahalian felt that his own army was at a disadvantage.It's not that the casualties are equal, and it's not the turmoil he expected.

To put it bluntly, in the plan, the battle was definitely not fought in this way. It was completely beyond Sahalian's expectations, and also exceeded Daishan's expectations.

Occupying a local military advantage, it should have quickly and simply eliminated isolated enemies and given psychological shock to the advancing Ming army.

"This must be the elite of the Ming army, who was deliberately sent by the Ming army to lure our army to attack?" Sahalian had such a guess, but he was not sure, and looked at the general hoping to be confirmed.

The general blinked and guessed, "Dead soldiers? There is such a possibility."

Boom, boom, boom... As if to confirm Sahalian's speculation, the besieged Ming army used weapons Jiannu had never seen before.

Under the cover of the comrades in front, a row of black iron lumps emitting green smoke flew out more and more, smashing towards the enemy group that was attacking in front.

The flames of the explosion followed one after another, and as the smoke rose, Jian Nu screamed again.

Sahalian's conjecture was correct. These three teams of the Ming army were indeed the most powerful elites in the brigade of the Ming army. Hair style black powder grenade.

As I said before, the grenade has been developed long ago, but the Bureau of Gunpowder and Weapons has never made it the focus of production, which is what Zhu Youxiao meant.

The reason is simple. Black powder grenades are too heavy for non-strong and tall soldiers to use.It's easy to defend the city, but Thunderbolt is easier to make.

Therefore, a small number of black powder grenades were manufactured, and they were mainly allocated to Liao Town and Dongjiang Town as a trial-type individual weapon.

Zhu Youxiao thought so, but the frontline officers thought it was a good thing.The key is that it is easy to carry, and neither grenadiers nor artillery can accompany infantry at any time.

Therefore, the brigade Daming Army and the Dongjiang Headquarters both selected tall and strong soldiers to form elite troops based on the ability to use grenades.

These troops have all experienced battles, but apart from training, this is the first time they have used grenades in actual combat.

As for the dead soldiers, although it doesn't sound good, it really has that meaning.And this is exactly the cruelty of war, not vicious and ruthless.

The sole purpose of war is to achieve victory. It is also very reasonable to say that kindness does not control soldiers.

Most of the Jiannu were cavalry, although they couldn't beat the rigorous Ming army.But they are highly mobile and come and go like the wind, which really caused the Ming army a headache.

That's why Kong Youde and Zhang Pan made such an arrangement.Stand out with elite troops, attract Jiannu to attack, take the opportunity to break the deadlock, and break through the front lines of Xinjin and Hongzuibao.

If the goal is achieved, together with the friendly troops who landed in Fuzhou, they can form a front and back attack on the Daishan Army.

If Jiannu does not move, the prominent Ming army can occupy the central part of Xinjin, or even the mountains in the north, so as to drive a nail, so that the main force can continue to move forward.

Now, while Jiannu is attacking the prominent isolated Ming army, while blocking the main force of the Ming army from coming to help, the two places are fighting fiercely.

Such a result is actually exactly what the Ming army hoped for. The cavalry gave up their strengths and fought against the infantry. How could they be the opponents of the Ming army, which has obvious advantages in weapons and equipment?

The corpses of people and horses lay in disorder, falling outside the defensive formation of the Ming army.The Ming army also suffered a lot of casualties, and the formation continued to shrink, but they still resisted tenaciously in their respective positions.

Even though he is an elite, he has combat experience.Before the various ministries took action, they were still ordered to die severely.I would rather die than escape, and fight to the end.Otherwise, the military law will be used, and the family members will be implicated.

Escape is of course stupid, two legs can run past Jian slave cavalry to kill?Surrender is also not advisable. These officers and soldiers from the Liao people all know the cruelty and tyranny of Jiannu.

If you fight one by one, you can also earn the preferential treatment for the family members without worrying about food and clothing, as well as the hundred taels of silver promised by the chief before the action.

"Fire!" Feng Datie blew a sharp whistle, and amidst the gunshots that were as dense as popping beans, Jiannu, who was charging forward, fell down in the splash of blood.

A moment later, there was another long and sharp whistle, and the musket fire broke out again. In the smoke, there were screams and wailing one after another.

The fast rate of fire of the flintlock guns and the close arrangement of the teams greatly enhanced the density and continuity of firepower, which was unexpected by the attacking Jiannu.

"Kill!" The front row of soldiers shouted passionately, and stretched out their spears and bayonets to block the enemies who had already rushed forward.

The shooting of the musket stopped for a while, and a row of grenades flew out again, falling into the enemy group, and another burst of shrapnel was stirred up, filling the air with smoke.

The tight defense of the Ming army reduced the area to be attacked.Although Jiannu has a large number of people, it is still somewhat difficult to use, and the advantage of numbers cannot be fully utilized.

However, the Ming army is also constantly paying casualties, and the defensive position is constantly shrinking to maintain the density of muskets against the enemy and to exert the power of musket shooting.
