Chapter Two Hundred and Fifteen: Reluctant to Give Up Women
In Zhang Cheng's Chinese army camp on the campus outside the Desheng Gate of the capital, it listened to Chen Jiugao and Fu Yingchong complimenting each other. After a round of boasting from all over the world, the topic turned back to the gift given to Zhang Cheng by Emperor Chongzhen for some reason.
Regarding the palace maid.
Fu Yingchong asked in a low voice under the influence of wine: "Brother Zhang, what is the appearance of the Xiaodu people given by Long Live Lord? Is he so beautiful?"
Zhang Cheng was originally quite enthusiastic towards the two of them and really wanted to make friends with them, but when he heard Fu Yingchong speak like this, his face turned cold and he was about to have a seizure...
"Oh, Fu Daya, you bastard, you just drank so much yellow soup, and you don't look like a brother anymore."
Chen Jiugao also saw that Zhang Cheng was looking wrong, so he immediately spoke out and scolded Fu Yingchong. "Don't look at Fu Yingchong's boastful talk about the Five and Six Gods just now, but now that he saw Chen Jiugao becoming serious, he actually looked at a loss.
Zhang Cheng is good at everything else. He is very willing to give up gold, silver, wealth, and silk, and he is also willing to make friends with officials and generals in the capital and provinces. However, there is only one weakness that is his weakness. It can also be said to be a taboo. A more accurate statement would be
It's reverse scale.
That is a woman!
He has the character of giving up money but not women.
Zhang Cheng is different from the men of this era. They treat women except their wives as accessories to men. Some even give away the women around them to others to enhance their relationship. Some even give away concubines.
But Zhang Cheng was disgusted with this. His principle was that no one would be refused, but his woman would never be allowed to be touched by others, even if they were thinking about her.
Although Fu Yingchong didn't understand why Zhang Cheng was so disgusted with what he just said, and in his heart he still somewhat looked down on a frontier lieutenant like Zhang Cheng.
But Chen Jiugao was different. He was not only his eldest brother, but also the former commander-in-chief of his Shenji Battalion. How could he dare to directly disobey his immediate superior?
At that moment, with a smile on his face, he raised his wine bowl and said to Zhang Cheng: "Brother Zhang, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Brother, I'm just talking while drinking, I have no other intentions, no other intentions!"
Zhang Cheng would not really care about this matter with him, he would just express his attitude, lest Fu Yingchong would look down on him in the future, and then it would appear stingy to argue with him again.
In order to alleviate Shicai's embarrassment, Zhang Cheng changed the subject and asked: "I heard that the Shenji Battalion went to Liaodong this time and brought a large number of sharp firearms with them?"
Chen Jiugao and Zhang Cheng are old acquaintances. They even worked together during the Henan Provincial Relief Campaign. Now they give all the opportunities to perform to Fu Yingchong. This way, they can not only show their support for him, but also support Zhang Cheng.
This shows your generosity.
After Fu Yingchong got Chen Jiugao's hint, he immediately became energetic and said: "Hey, if we talk about firearms, my front camp will indeed bring a lot of them this time.
Let me think about it, in addition to the thirty mighty general cannons, my front battalion sergeant also has self-produced Lumi guns, Nine-Headed Bird and other large guns, not to mention.
In addition, there are hundreds of rocket vehicles, and nearly a thousand rounds of divine fire flying crows, flying thunderbolts and other large rockets are prepared. When the time comes, they will all be shot out, which will surely make the soldiers surrounding Jinzhou
I can’t eat and walk around...hahaha..."
According to Fu Yingchong, because the Shenwei General's cannons were too heavy, each cannon required nearly a dozen horses, oxen, etc. to drag it forward. In order not to delay the invasion of Liaodong, they had already set off as early as a month ago.
, counting the days, we are almost reaching Ningyuan City, right?
As for the remaining rocket vehicles, divine fire flying crows, flying thieves thunder and other firearms and baggage, they will set off together with their front camp army.
Fu Yingchong was so excited that he patted his chest on the spot and said to Zhang Cheng: "Brother Jiugao is naturally my brother, Fu Daya, and my brother from the front camp.
When the time comes, our artillery battalion will definitely cooperate with Brother Zhang. No matter what, I will personally fire the artillery for General Zhang. I will definitely blast the captives and cavalry all over the ground looking for teeth, so that he will never come back.
However, when the time comes, this military achievement will be worth it! Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe..."
Fu Yingchong had a sinister smile on his face, a shrewd and cunning look flashed in his eyes, and he just looked at Zhang Cheng steadily.
Grains
Zhang Cheng thought to himself that this guy was more thoughtful and direct than Chen Jiugao, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, on the day of victory, the credit for the victory will naturally go to the front camp, and also to you, Brother Fu.
You can ask Brother Chen, he knows who I am, Zhang Cheng, when have we ever treated my brothers badly?"
Chen Jiugao had already told Fu Yingchong several times about the aid and suppression of Henan. He naturally knew what Zhang Cheng was like. Now that he heard what he said, he felt even more relieved.
I couldn't help but secretly think in my heart, when I return from the battle in Liaodong, with this military achievement, I am afraid that I will become the commander-in-chief of the first battalion, right?
By then, he would be on equal footing with Chen Jiugao, unlike today, where he was simply a bit shorter than him. When he thought about this, a smile appeared on his lips.
Although Zhang Cheng's Yunzhou craftsman camp also made many rocket boxes to equip the lower carriages of chariots, because it was very troublesome to make, it had never been used for large rockets such as the divine fire flying crow, flying thieves and thunder, etc.
dabble.
Therefore, he was still very interested in these firearms, and immediately asked Fu Yingchong in detail. When Fu Yingchong was happy, he naturally explained it to Zhang Cheng in detail.
According to what he said, this large rocket named "Shenhuo Flying Crow" is a multi-powder barrel three-flying rocket in structure.
Load gunpowder into the body of the crow, drill holes in its back, and let out several feet-long fire wires, which are connected to the fire wires of several takeoff rockets under the crow's belly. Paste the crow's body with tissue paper, and then install a crow-shaped head.
With its tail and two wings, it can maintain its flying posture in the air and fly to the target smoothly to attack the enemy.
The Divine Fire Flying Crow mainly burns the target, while the Flying Thunder Thunder flies to the target and explodes. Both can also be loaded with poison, gray bombs, etc., and use poison smoke, poison, fire, and lime to attack the enemy.
Of course, you must keep an eye on the wind direction when launching, so as not to be stirred up by the strong wind and fly back, injuring your own people.
Zhang Cheng pondered, his army has many small firearms such as Fran machines, Tiger Crouching Cannons, and Rocket Boxes, and now there are these 30 Hongyi cannons, divine fire flying crows, sky-striking thunderbolts and other large-scale killing weapons.
I'm afraid that I can become even more powerful and have a bloody battle with Jiannu.
Fu Yingchong said proudly: "Not only do I have this sharp weapon, I also carry a large number of poison bombs and gray bullets, which can be fired into the enemy camp at any time. They will be destroyed for dozens of miles and make the slave soldiers suffer!"
Zhang Cheng asked with a look of surprise: "Tens of miles of erosion? Can these sharp weapons such as the divine fire and flying crow fly so far?"
At the same time, he was thinking to himself, could it be that he underestimated the technology of this era?
If this is the case, when I return to Junxuan Town in the future, I will have to ask Yunzhou Craftsman Camp to build more, so it will be more troublesome.
But after hearing this, Fu Yingchong was speechless for a moment. After a while, he said awkwardly: "This is a so-called, ha, just a so-called, it is used to scare the enemy and lure them. What is the actual range..."
He stretched out two fingers and continued: "If the wind is strong, it can fly two miles. If the wind is light, it can fly less than two miles."
Zhang Cheng said softly "Oh", thinking that it would be great to be able to travel two miles away.
At this time, Chen Jiugao even said that his front camp had dozens of large-caliber mortars, which were specially used to shoot stone bullets, iron bullets, and some explosive bullets.
Of course, Zhang Cheng also understands that the explosive bullets here refer to poisonous smoke bombs, gray bullets, etc., and they are not the kind of fragments that can hurt people as imagined in later generations.
The mortar cannon is indeed lighter and more flexible than the Hongyi cannon, but its power and range are not small, but the requirements for the gunner are higher. After all, it involves extremely complex mathematical problems. In terms of actual operation, it is much more difficult than the Hongyi cannon.
Fu Yingchong proudly said: "This fire and thunder cannon that penetrates the mountains and the ground is made of copper. It can fire a cannon ranging from ten to fifteen kilograms, and hit the thieves two miles away. The smoke flies and the fire is fierce, and the sound is like a huge thunder. When people and horses encounter it,
, hit like a smash, invincible and unbreakable, no success without success! Haha..."
Zhang Cheng also shouted loudly: "Okay! Come on, let's have a toast..."
He thought that with the help of Shenji Camp's sharp weapons, he would be more confident in the battle of Jinzhou.
