Zhu Yuluo's imperial ship stopped at the dock of Jinkou Town.

But for safety and convenience, she still lives on the royal ship.

On the second floor of the palace, Zhu Yurao said to Hao Guangming via mobile phone video: "Good news, Zuo Menggeng successfully opened the gate of Jiangxia City, and the left army led by Hao Xiaozhong, Zhang Yingxiang, and Wu Xueli in the city have all surrendered.

In addition, Huang Shu, the patrol commander of Huguang, spoke at the top of the city to prevent Zuo Mengeng from persuading him to surrender, and tried to occupy Jiangxia to negotiate terms with us. He was shot dead by Huniu, the captain of the Suzaku Battalion, with a Type 45 Bright Rifle."

The so-called Type 45 Guangming Rifle refers to a batch of front-loaded rifled flintlock rifles that Zhu Yulao brought to the Ming Dynasty from later generations for a batch of special steel pipes and had craftsmen make them using later generations' drills and knives.

Not only that, this Type 45 rifle still uses Mini bullets.

Moreover, more than a dozen female soldiers in the Suzaku Battalion, such as Huniu, who were highly talented in shooting, even installed scopes on their Type 45 rifles.

Although it was just a toy sight purchased by Hao Guangming, it was enough to turn Huniu and a dozen other female sharpshooters from the Suzaku Battalion into Ming Dynasty snipers.

As for the Mini bullet, the descriptive name should be "conical bottom expansion bullet".

Historically, the minigun was invented by a British captain in the 1830s and 1940s who was inspired by the design of indigenous Indian blowpipe arrows.

The tail part of the blowpipe arrow is made of soft and elastic pith. When used, the expansion of the pith presses against the inner wall of the blowpipe to prevent air from escaping, thereby launching the blowpipe arrow.

At that time, because the shooting accuracy and distance of rifled guns were significantly better than smoothbore guns, all countries began to popularize rifled guns.

However, one problem with front-loading rifled guns is that ammunition loading becomes difficult due to the increased rifling. It is often necessary to carry a mallet with you and use the wooden mallet to hit the ejector rod to load lead bullets.

The conical bullet of the Mini bullet is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the barrel, making loading easier.

At the same time, there is a conical cavity at the bottom of the Mini bullet's warhead, and a wooden plug is used to resist the cavity. When it is fired, it will force the cork to squeeze into the cavity, causing the bottom of the warhead to expand close to the inner wall of the barrel, rifling, and sealing the gap.

In this way, the gas cannot leak out, and the warhead rotates at high speed under the pressure of the gas and the guidance of the rifling, and can shoot distant targets with great accuracy.

Of course, the Mini bullet still has some shortcomings. For example, its warhead can only be made of softer lead and other metals and alloys, because this makes it easy for the warhead to expand.

However, because the warhead is soft, it will deform immediately after hitting the target. Although the damage is not small, the penetration is too weak.

Because this Type 45 Guangming Rifle mainly relies on manual production, the production is slow and the materials are scarce. Only 50 rifles were produced in the first batch. Currently, only the Suzaku Battalion and the Shenji Battalion have received more than a dozen rifles for use.

Because it is the first batch of rifles to be rifled and use Mini bullets during the Ming Dynasty in this time and space, there are still many areas that can be improved. The current effective accurate range is 300 to 400 steps.

Therefore, at that time, not only Huang Shu was standing on the city gate tower a hundred or dozens of steps away, but even if he was standing farther away, Huniu could kill him.

···

Hao Guangming said: "This Huang Shu deserves to die - not to mention that he is now blocking Zuo Menggeng from persuading the defenders in the city to surrender. Even if he leads the left army to surrender, I do not recommend you to use him."

Zhu Yasuo nodded, "I know. Even if this person dies, I will still hold him accountable for the crimes he committed in the past."

Huang Shu can be said to be the second or third person in the Zuo Army. Since Zhu Yura was planning to deal with Zuo Liangyu, Hao Guangming naturally studied Huang Shu with her early on.

Huang Shu, a native of Huizhou, South Zhili, was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen.

He was initially promoted to a Kaifeng official, and was promoted to Jiangxi Province Supervisory Censor for his solid merits. Later, he was promoted to Henan Patrol Supervisor.

Maybe it was because the Zhu Ming Dynasty was in decline and was no longer viable. At this time, Huang Shu exposed his greedy and selfish nature.

After the fall of Kaifeng, Chongzhen gave the King of Zhou 30,000 taels of silver to go south to rebuild the Zhou Palace. However, Huang Shu swallowed up the 27,000 taels and only gave the King of Zhou 3,000 taels.

Later, in order to gain fame and gain power, he and the eunuch He Zhikong impeached Ma Shiying for committing treachery and harming the country and engaging in party strife.

After the political struggle failed in the Nanjing court, he came over to encourage Zuo Liangyu to raise troops to attack the four towns in Jiangbei, and the Nanjing court "sided the Qing emperor".

At this point, it can be seen that Huang Shu was all about selfish interests, he did not care about the country at all, and he had no bottom line for pursuing personal gains.

Later, the Zuo army was defeated by Huang Degong. Zuo Menggeng quickly led an army of more than 200,000 to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, which was also due to Huang Shu's "contribution".

After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Huang Shu was eager to perform meritorious service and deceived his friend Jin Sheng into saying that he was pretending to surrender to the Qing army.

At that time, Jin Sheng was the leader of the Huizhou anti-Qing rebels, so he was tricked by Huang Shu into opening the Huizhou city gate and captured Jin Sheng alive.

However, as an official in the Qing Dynasty, Huang Shu still focused on self-interest.

When his officials came to the southern Fujian branch to patrol the road and participate in politics, because they coveted the savings of the Zheng family, they led their troops to attack the Zhongzuo Institute (Xiamen) and plundered the Zheng family's property.

It can be said that this is definitely one of the reasons why the Zheng family was determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty later.

Historically, Huang Shu was dismissed from office because of this incident, and nothing happened again.

In this time and space, knowing what kind of person Huang Shu was, and taking into account his existing culpability, Zhu Yurao asked Huniu to lead the team to escort Zuo Mengeng to persuade Jiangxia City to surrender. If Huang Shu dared to prevent the Zuo Army from surrendering, he would

He was shot dead on the spot.

Originally, Zhu Yuluo just gave the instructions casually and did not think that Huang Shu would obstruct the surrender.

Because a selfish person like Huang Shu likes to surrender and bully the weak.

Now that her Jianguo Army had just defeated the Zuo Army, Zuo Liangyu had no hope of making a comeback. Huang Shu should not have prevented the Zuo Army from surrendering.

Who would have thought that Zuo Liangyu actually fell into a coma due to Zuo Mengeng's defeat, and Jiangxia's left army was temporarily controlled by Huang Shu, which inflated Huang Shu's...

Since people like Huang Shu are dead, they are not worth Zhu Aa's time.

She continued: "There is also bad news, Zuo Liangyu is unconscious.

If we cannot use his help to make the Left Army stationed outside Jiangxia surrender as soon as possible, I am afraid that some of these people will defect to the Shun Army or the Qing Army."

Speaking of which, in the eyes of Zhu Ailao and Hao Guangming, Zuo Liangyu is also a person who deserves to die.

But now Zhu Ailao still needs to rely on Zuo Liangyu to restrain all the troops under his command, so as to collect all the troops of the Zuo army.

So naturally I don't want Zuo Liangyu to die so soon.

If nothing else, it would be nice if I could delay my death until early April, as in history.

Hao Guangming said: "Since Zuo Liangyu is just unconscious, there is still a possibility of waking up.

You can first ask the doctors here in Daming to diagnose and treat him and find out what his disease is. Maybe we can use modern medicine to extend his life for a month or two.

In this way, you can use him to achieve your goal of recruiting all the troops from the left army."

Zhu Yasuo nodded and immediately used the walkie-talkie to start delivering the message to the red lady.

Speaking of which, Jinkou Town is actually not close to Jiangxia City, but Zhu Yushuo still used several walkie-talkies to establish a communication channel with the Red Lady.

On the other side, the red lady also knew the importance of Zuo Liangyu, so after entering the city, she followed Zuo Mengeng's request and invited many people in Jiangxia City to consult Zuo Liangyu, and she also learned about Zuo Liangyu.

What disease do you suffer from?

"Zi Zhan?"

Hao Guangming was confused when he heard this.

This was obviously an ancient disease name, and it was only after Zhu Aao explained it that he knew what the word "疰" was and what it meant.

Then he checked it on his computer and found out what the disease was.

"It turns out to be tuberculosis? Tuberculosis?!" Looking at the information he found, Hao Guangming was surprised at first, and then immediately said: "The tuberculosis Zuo Liangyu has is a chronic infectious disease. Although only weak people are easily infected, but

You still have to ask Hu Niu and other people who come into contact with Zuo Liangyu to pay attention."

Zhu Aao smiled and said: "We know this, the red lady has taken precautions over there."

Hao Guangming was slightly embarrassed.

Speaking of which, tuberculosis is indeed not very contagious. Traditional Chinese medicine has developed quite a lot in the Ming Dynasty, and there must have been research on this aspect.

However, even in modern times, there is no specific medicine that can cure tuberculosis. The mortality rate can only be reduced to an extremely low level through comprehensive clinical treatment, and the cure rate is also quite high.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, tuberculosis was a chronic and fatal disease.

And from the descriptions given by the doctors in the Ming Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu's days were obviously numbered.
