Chapter 235 Two dragons fight, will the Qing Dynasty gain?
It was early morning on November 20th, the first year of the Ming Dynasty when Wang Dingjianguo was born.
In the Ming army camp to the west of Guicheng City, the hustle and bustle was getting louder. The soldiers of the Jinyi army of the Ming Dynasty also took the time to enjoy a sumptuous "morning tea"... Only when they are full can they
Do you have the spirit to go to the battlefield?
The rules of having a good meal and going into battle to kill people are timeless.
Cui Liu, who had been busy all night last night, was now munching on an extra-large barbecued pork bun. The sweet, soft, waxy and oily barbecued pork was wrapped in the snow-white cracked bun skin. It was so beautiful.
He looked up at the artillery officers and sergeants who were gathered in a circle. They were all devouring their food just like him. Some of them had already eaten two or three barbecued pork buns and were burping.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Cui Liu began to convey the order, "All the artillerymen will be in position immediately after eating morning tea, no delay!"
The so-called artillery is the artillery that uses six-pound field guns - this six-pound field gun is improved from the six-pound naval gun on the British Great Eastern. The gun body is cast in bronze, and the shells used are heavy.
Increased from six pounds to six kilograms.
Under Zhu Heji's eight Jinyi towns, each town has an artillery battalion equipped with twelve six-pound field cannons. The Jinyi pro-army currently on the battlefield at the foot of Dinghu Mountain has three towns in total, equipped with a total of three
Sixteen six-pound field guns.
Cui Liu then added: "All the Second Artillery soldiers stayed behind to make medicine together after having morning tea!"
The so-called Second Artillery is the artillery that uses mortars and rockets that throw hammers... Their guns are not as big as field artillery, so the field artillery is generally called "big artillery", and they are the "Second Artillery"
"Yes.
Well, it sounds like the Second Artillery Corps is not as powerful as the Artillery Corps! But the guys they use are still very powerful!
Unlike the large artillery, which is all town-affiliated artillery, the second artillery is all battalion-affiliated, with a battalion directly under a leader. The first-leader and second artillery troops are usually equipped with two mortars and two rocket launchers.
In addition, all Second Artillery soldiers must master the art of "pharmaceuticals"...that is, the art of preparing sugar medicine. The sugar medicine they use themselves and the sugar medicine used by the grenadiers must be prepared by them in front of the formation.
Boil.
The place where Cui Liu is now is a "temporary pharmaceutical factory" specially set up for the use of the Second Artillery Corps.
After the Second Artillery Soldiers finished their morning tea, they had to start brewing the medicine. The process of brewing the medicine was much simpler than at the beginning, and it was also safer.
First of all, the raw materials for making the medicine have changed from the original white sugar and fire salt to square packs of "military white sugar" and fire salt. The "military white sugar" has already added binders and catalysts.
As long as it is boiled and added with nitrate, sugar medicine can be prepared. Therefore, the paper wrapping the sugar will have the words "military white sugar, strictly forbidden to eat" printed on it, and there will also be the trademark "Made in Beichang" and "Bei"
...
Secondly, we don’t use fire directly to boil medicine...it’s hard to control the heat! So we changed to the salt bath method, which is to heat the salt, and then use the salt to heat the "military white sugar", so that it is less likely to cause accidents
.
Third, because a binder is added to the sugar medicine, the plasticity is greatly enhanced and it is not easy to break. Therefore, the boiled sugar medicine will be placed in a set of special copper molds and pressed into a flat square. Then it is pressed into a flat square.
Use a kitchen knife to cut into pieces, and finally wrap them in oil paper. They look similar to the sugar cubes used to make coffee. The oil paper wrapped has also been printed in advance, with the words "Exclusively for Tianlei, toxic and harmful" and "Be careful to prevent moisture"....
..
These poisonous and harmful "sugar cubes" are also packaged in special wooden boxes and then distributed to the grenadiers or the Second Artillery Corps for their own use.
These "sugar cubes" are not large in size, so they can be filled directly into a grenade hammer or flower hammer together with lead bullets and a small amount of black powder used to support combustion. If they cannot be used up, just unplug the wooden tube fuse after the battle.
You can take out the "sugar cube" inside, and you can boil it again and use it again next time.
In addition, the sugar medicine loaded into the rocket does not need to be made into "sugar cubes". It can be poured directly into the cylinder of the rocket before it solidifies.
While Cui Liu was busy supervising the officers and soldiers of the Second Artillery Group making sugar medicine, Zhu Heji was inviting Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixiao, Li Chenggong and Li Rucai to have morning tea in his Chinese army tent.
In addition to the four prisoners and Zhu Heji, there were also Yang Qilong, Su Zhanhai, Zhuge Zhengyang and four "Ren-Slayer Confucians" holding long swords in the big tent - these four Ren-Slayer Confucians had already eaten and drank enough.
Just waiting for Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixiao, Li Chenggong and Li Rucai to finish eating, they sent them on their way.
Among the four, Shang Kexi had the best appetite. Four barbecued pork buns and a bowl of wonton noodles were not enough, so he took the bowl of wonton noodles placed in front of his son Shang Zhixiao and ate it.
As for Shang Zhixiao, Li Chenggong and Li Rucai, none of them had much appetite. Shang Zhixiao and Li Chenggong were better off, but they were just dead...and Li Rucai had a look of injustice on his face and kept begging: "I
He is just a boss and a slave for one year, please, saint, please spare my life!"
Li Chenggong, who was standing next to him, snorted and lectured Li Rucai: "Rucai, everyone is destined to die. Death can be as heavy as a mountain, or as light as a feather..."
"Bah! Li Chenggong, you really think you are Nurhachi's god-uncle!" Li Rucai doesn't want to buy into his little uncle now, "He has long disowned our family...otherwise
Will the two of us be born slaves?"
Li Chenggong taught him a lesson: "Rucai, the servant in charge of clothing also received the emperor's favor!"
"Bah, what kind of imperial favor... I want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! Holy man, I want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! Is it too late for me to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?"
After hearing this, Zhu Heji just smiled: "There's time, there's time... Shang Zhixiao, what about you? Do you want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?"
"Humph! I, Shang Zhixiao, am not afraid of death!" Of course Shang Zhixiao didn't want to think about it anymore. He still has this bit of backbone!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shang Ke nodded happily on one side, "Good son!" Then he put down the bowl and chopsticks again and stared at Zhu Heji who was sitting high above him, "
The traitor named Zhu, I have finished eating and want to kill the widow, please do as you please!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the big tent was lifted up, and then Cui Liu was seen walking in carrying two square wooden boxes.
Zhu Heji saw the two wooden boxes and smiled at Shang Kexi. Li Chenggong said: "Shang Kexi, Li Chenggong, we are going to fight Qingyao today and need something to sacrifice the flag, so I borrowed your two heads!"
"
"Huh, if you want to kill, just kill! I'm so happy..."
"Your Majesty, your servant Li Chenggong..."
Shang Kexi and Li Chenggong were only halfway through their words when their mouths were blocked by Zhan Renru behind them.
Then Zhu Heji said to Shang Zhixiao and Li Rucai: "You two were originally going to be killed, but the Gu family needs two people to help send the heads of Shang Kexi and Li Chenggong to the opposite side Tuhai and Sun Yanling for a look, so
It’ll be easier for both of you! Can you guarantee delivery?”
...
At this time, the sky was dimming, and the sound of trumpets and drums could be heard in the Qing army camp. Groups of Qing soldiers began to move out of their respective camps, and under the guidance of Goshiha sent by Tuhai, they walked towards the planned position.
The Han cavalry at the front had already advanced outside the Qing camp. According to the plan, they would arrive at the battlefield first and occupy a good position for the infantry behind. At the same time, they would prevent the Ming army from harassing the advancing troops.
Army.
According to the arrangements of Tu Hai and Sun Sike, the first of this battle is of course the local green battalion soldiers from Guangdong, Pingnan Wangfu, and the continuation of Shun Gongfu's flag army... They are the main army after all!
Behind the Guangdong Green Camp and the Banner Army were Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong from Guangxi. It was almost their turn to die for the Qing Yao in Guangdong! They were in a hurry to get home and had to fight!
The third formation is composed of the northern green camp soldiers led by Sun Sike and part of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers from Tuhai - the Eight Banners Soldiers from Tuhai were divided into two parts, and three of the cavalry led by them are the governor's team!
The two fire thunder soldiers led by Deng Zhong are not so free. They are the trump card of the Qing army on the battlefield today!
