As soon as Liu Yi finished speaking, a cavalryman rushed to the viewing platform, dismounted and rushed to Liu Yi's side, "Grand Governor, urgent military situation." Liu Yi, Cheng Kang and others were stunned. What urgent military situation could there be at this time?

It must be Huang Taiji or Li Zicheng

Moved. Sure enough, Tang Ma took out a piece of information and handed it to Liu Yi. Liu Yi took it and glanced at it, then handed the document to Cheng Kang and others. After several officers circulated it, Cheng Kang said: "If it is

In this case, the situation will change faster

." Liu Yi nodded and said: "This is the end of today's drill observation. The remaining people will stay here until it is over. Let's go back first and discuss it." Liu Yi turned around and walked down the viewing platform. No one was there.

Pay too much attention to the Governor

body, because the drill on the campus was so exciting. It was basically the weapons testing ground of the General Administration of Manufacturing. All kinds of new weapons were put into the battlefield. Sun Yuanhua even moved out the extended-range rocket that was being developed.

Test firing.

When it comes to Sun Yuanhua's development of extended-range rockets, he really doesn't think about food. He really can't sleep at night. It turns out that he was a firearms expert of the Ming Dynasty. He mainly studied artillery and rockets. The rockets of the Ming Dynasty are nothing more than fire dragons coming out of water and hundreds of tigers.

The principle of devices such as Qi Ben is actually very simple, that is, gunpowder is used to propel the arrow.

Flying is naturally much more powerful than human power, but it is not very accurate. Therefore, a device like Hundreds of Tigers that can launch hundreds of rockets at a time is needed to make up for the lack of accuracy with quantity. But whether it is a fire dragon coming out of the water or a hundred tigers coming together

Ben, all have a fatal flaw, that is, insufficient range. At best, this kind of weapon can only compete with small and medium-sized

The Folan machine is not enough to compete with the heavy artillery, so can we design a rocket that can compete with the heavy artillery? As we all know, the weight of the rocket is definitely lighter than the artillery, and the most important thing is that the rocket can be launched alone, and

Artillery is actually the carrier of artillery shells, and rockets are equivalent to artillery shells, but there is no need for a vehicle like artillery.

It greatly reduces the cost of combat. Just imagine, if you can equip a rocket with the power of a heavy artillery, you don't need to carry heavy artillery, propellant, and artillery shells during combat. You only need to carry hundreds of rockets and directly ignite and launch dozens of rockets.

The striking effect of the heavy cannon kills two birds with one stone, saving costs and facilitating transportation.

Thinking of this, Sun Yuanhua racked his brains and kept experimenting. In fact, rockets are nothing more than two issues, one is power and the other is range. Sun Yuanhua did not think much about accuracy. After all, under the existing conditions and the thinking mode of the Ming Dynasty, accuracy

It's not that important. Even heavy artillery is actually a smoothbore cannon. The precision of smoothbore cannons

How high can the speed be? Not to mention rockets. If it is really cheap and easy to use, then just carry hundreds or thousands of rounds and shoot them out together to cover the enemy's military formation. So he will focus on

Focusing on power and range, after continuous improvement, he found the idea of ​​extending the length of the rocket, installing a balance rod at the tail, and increasing the size of the rocket.

The range can be extended by increasing the amount of powder charged, but the rocket produced is very large. The balance rod alone is fifteen feet long, which is five meters in length in later generations. At the same time, Sun Yuanhua imitated bows and arrows and added a bow and arrow to the tail of the rocket.

The tail fin can further ensure the stability of the rocket's flight. As a result, the rocket's range has reached an astonishing level.

Thousand steps, which is a distance of three miles, is three times higher than the one-mile range of Hundreds of Tigers and Fire Dragon. However, this is not the limit. According to Sun Yuanhua's estimation, if the charge and volume can be

If we find a balance point between the lengths, the rocket's range will be further. Sun Yuanhua's goal is to increase the range to more than five miles.

Whoosh, whoosh, boom, boom, Sun Yuanhua's long-range rocket stood up high, just like the rockets of later generations taking off. As the soldiers lit the fuse, the rocket flew into the sky, and then hit the shooting range at a huge parabolic angle.

, followed by a violent explosion, and there are two types of rockets to kill enemies.

Methods, one is shock wave, and the other is to fill an iron shell with a large number of steel ball lead bullets, which is another type of cannonball. After the explosion, these projectiles fly around and can mow down all surrounding enemies.

.This kind of firepower attack made everyone on the auditorium open their mouths.

, they simply couldn’t believe that Qing Yijun’s attack capability had reached such a level. Liu Yi only looked back at the scene of the rocket explosion, and while walking down the steps, he said to the people behind him: "We are experts. Once we take action,

I wonder if there are any. These weapons of mass murder usually remain hidden.

The water has been hidden in the warehouse of the General Administration of Manufacturing. Only by taking it out for use now can everyone understand the true strength of our Qingyi Army. Of course, this is only part of our strength. I can believe that on the day we actually go to the battlefield,

Our Qing Yi Army will definitely shock the world."

Everyone hurried back to the Central Military Governor's Mansion amidst the sound of explosions. As soon as they arrived at the conference room, Cheng Kang pulled down the map with a huff. Liu Yishui didn't even have time to take a sip, and immediately said: "Everyone has seen the intelligence. The situation in the north now.

It was already very serious. Shanhaiguan was lost and Cao became a dragon.

Almost all the officers and soldiers under his command were killed in the battle, a large number of generals were killed in the battle, and the entire territory of Liaodong was lost. It seems that Huang Taiji's self-confidence has been inflated now. The next step is to attack Ji Town." He paused and said: "In addition, tell me

A possible piece of news for everyone is that Hong Chengchou is not dead." Liu Yi said this.

As soon as it came out, everyone immediately took a breath. According to the official report, Hong Chengchou was dead. Emperor Chongzhen was planning to hold a grand funeral for Hong Chengchou in the capital. Although the body could not be found, setting up a tomb was not a problem.

No, it’s mainly to express an attitude, Hong Chengchou

After all, he was the governor of Liaodong, and he had the title of Minister of War. He had done a lot of credit in the past, and he was ordered to go to Liaodong by the emperor. Although Liaodong was lost, Chongzhen could not slap himself in the face. After all, he was a person he valued.

Such a grand ceremony will not chill everyone's hearts.

But this ending that everyone agreed to have no body left was now overturned by Liu Yi. Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. In fact, according to common sense, Liu Yi certainly knew the ending of Hong Chengchou in history. Although Hong Chengchou was defeated, he did not die.

After being captured by Huang Taiji, he secretly

In the secret prison, Huang Taiji had concealed this matter before he entered the prison, but he secretly listened to many Hong Chengchou's opinions. It was not until after he entered the prison that Huang Taiji announced the matter. The whole world was in an uproar for a while. They always believed that the public was loyal.

The body of the country, the one who devoted himself to death and died

Governor Hong turned out to be a traitor and a traitor, which really slapped the Ming Dynasty. The worst result of Hong Chengchou's surrender was that the civil servants were exposed. In the past, many civil servants were still constrained by integrity, for fear of leaving a bad name and being disgraced by the people.

It pokes my spine, so I fight to the death

Resistance or death for the country, now it's better, first-class officials like Hong Chengchou have been surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they are still resisting, they should just cooperate with the Qing Dynasty to save their lives. It can be said that with an official like Hong Chengchou in the front

Damn it, those petty officials surrendered unscrupulously.

Liu Yi knew that with his arrival, the trajectory of history had changed, and the endings of many characters had also changed. Although he did not get the exact news that Hong Chengchou was still alive, he had a vague feeling that Huang Taiji's recent actions

There are experts behind the scenes, and he knows about Huang Taiji's team. If there were more sophisticated methods, he would have used them long ago. However, after the Liaodong Campaign, Huang Taiji played steadily and methodically, and he obviously had new ideas.

Liu Yi felt that this person was most likely Hong Chengchou. This result was also in line with his ending in history. Moreover, if you think about it for a moment, you would know that for such a valuable person as Hong Chengchou, Huang Taiji would not be able to take him away easily.

If they are killed, they must be captured alive. If Hong Chengchou has rebelled and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, then the north will face a more complicated situation. The new army must speed up its actions and prepare for war.

Liu Yi faced the map and said: "Judging from the situation, Huang Taiji's invasion of Ji Town is already certain. The second half of this information is about Li Zicheng. The Dashun Army has already assembled near Kaifeng. The next step is to go north to attack Beizhili.

, I have reason to believe that they must have reached some kind of tacit understanding with Huang Taiji. Both sides attacked almost at the same time. The court's attention is now attracted by Huang Taiji, and they will definitely mobilize heavy troops to the east.

There is no danger to defend Jizhen, so we can only give up. The imperial army must establish defenses in Miyun, Huairou, Shunyi, Tongzhou, and Wuqing. This is the last line of defense for the capital. This battle is likely to replicate the entry into the Pass in the first year of Chongzhen.

The battle is only going to be much more dangerous this time. There were no worries last time, but not now. Li Zicheng will besiege Daming Mansion and mobilize more troops to attack Beizhili. The scale will not be less than one million."

Shi Kefa stood up and said: "Grand Governor, what should we do? Are we going to attack Li Zicheng's retreat and prevent them from going north?" "No, our purpose is that you fight yours and I fight mine. Li Zicheng wants to go north to attack Beizhili.

, there is no need for us to stop him. There is no point in fighting against a million-strong army, but we can't just watch. At this time, Li Zicheng's attention is focused on the capital. I

We can make some big moves and force Li Zicheng to make a desperate move." Liu Yidao said. Cheng Kang smiled slightly and said: "The governor wants to take Sichuan." Everyone was surprised. Taking Sichuan is such a big move. This is not
