No matter what, it is unlikely to use Wu Xiang to threaten Wu Sangui.
Obviously, Wu Sangui himself understands this very well.
Therefore, the possibility of him rebelling is extremely high!
At least, he is very likely to use the excuse of Qing soldiers to enter the Pass to suppress bandits, as he did in the original history, to lure the Qing soldiers into the Pass!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang frowned and began to think about possible solutions to the problem. When the Qing troops entered the pass, he had to withstand the first wave of Qing troops' attack!
In any case, it is absolutely impossible for Li Zicheng to block the Qing army's offensive. There is a high probability that the situation will be the same as what happened in the original history, and Li Zicheng will suffer a big loss.
Then they suffered a series of defeats, and finally lost the capital and withdrew their troops to Shanxi and Shaanxi. It was the same as what happened in the original plot. At that time, the Qing army would definitely continue to move south.
Their target will most likely be Shandong!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang felt a flash of anxiety in his heart.
If he loses, then Chinese history will still follow its original trajectory, and nothing will change. There will no longer be any troops in the Jiangnan region that can stop the Manchu and Qing cavalry!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixi held a piece of jade seal in his hand, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
We must stop the Manchus!
at all costs!
But if you want to stop the Manchu cavalry, if you don't have equally powerful cavalry, stopping the cavalry with foot will cause huge casualties. You can only see if you can have a large number of artillery to deal with it!
Artillery will have stronger combat effectiveness against cavalry.
A large amount of artillery fire must be created as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang looked slightly serious.
After he walked around for a while.
And at this time.
Li Yan looked at the city in front of him.
"General, this county seems to be Qufu! Do we want to fight?? That Yan Shenggong belongs to a thousand-year-old family. He has been accumulating here for so long, and I don't even know how much wealth he has accumulated!"
Lin Hu next to him looked at the county town not far away with a greedy look on his face.
People in the county town were still coming and going at the city gate. No one noticed that in the mountains and forests not far away, a group of gangsters were looking hungrily at the Qufu City in front of them.
It's like looking at a woman without any clothes on.
Li Yan frowned slightly when he heard Li Hu's words next to him, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
According to the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince, after he left the Crown Prince, he basically looted along the way, and many soldiers joined their team in the process.
Since leaving His Highness the Crown Prince, under the leadership of Li Yan, this small force, which originally only had 5,000 people, has rapidly expanded at an incredible speed in the process of attacking cities and plundering lands.
There was no way, Li Yan himself loved the people like a son. Every time he attacked a city, he would basically avoid harming ordinary people, and then he would basically kill the famous local tycoons with bad records.
Basically, Li Yan only took half of the money and food from these wealthy gentry, and distributed the remaining half to the truly poor local people.
Many people followed him, and now Li Yan's team has expanded from the previous 5,000 to more than 30,000.
The teacher said that Li Yan didn't know whether what he did was right or not, because what the Crown Prince said was too vague.
He said he wanted to plunder the city himself.
At present, Li Yan has probably plundered nearly double-digit cities, and harvested a total of more than 2,000 taels of gold and hundreds of thousands of silver.
I don’t know if it meets the needs of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Li Yan thought silently in his heart.
Because he didn't want Li Zicheng to know that he was here.
Li Yan and the five thousand soldiers of the previous core army all created ghost faces for themselves, covering their own faces.
So everyone called Li Yan and his army the Ghost Face Army!
Although they have ugly faces, no one in the public has any feeling of disgust towards them.
Everyone thinks that the Ghost Face Army is an army that helps the common people.
Regardless of what others thought, Li Yan still felt a little hesitant as he looked at the city of Qufu in front of him.
In any case, Yan Shenggong has a very high status in the hearts of scholars. After all, he is a descendant of Confucius!
Do you really want to touch the Yanshenggong Mansion?
There was a hint of hesitation in Li Yan's eyes.
But he remembered what someone said to him last night.
Your Highness has asked you to return to the team after you have finished plundering Qufu!
After thinking of these words, Li Yan's expression changed for a while.
Gritting his teeth.
"lurk over there! Plunder Qufu!"
Li Yan said to the soldiers around him.
The surrounding soldiers lurked carefully...
Zhu Cihong finally came to find Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng.
"Mr. Song."
With a hint of emotion on his face, Zhu Cixiang looked at Song Yingxing in front of him and said, "Maybe we still need to use your power to make a batch of cannons first! This will relieve the current pressure!"
Hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Song Yingxing was slightly stunned.
"Can!"
Without any hesitation, Song Yingxing agreed directly.
"Whether it's white iron or not, our current goal is to produce a batch of cannons. Even if the barrels need to be thickened, we just need these cannons to be mobile, preferably mounted on a vehicle. This way
The cannon can be turned!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Song Yingxing and put forward his needs.
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Song Yingxing had a wry smile on his face. He looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him with a wry smile and said: "Your Highness, you are really going to give me a problem! It is not difficult to produce cannons, but pushing the cannons on a cart is not easy.
How to ensure the accuracy of this cannon? What size should the cannon be used for? Then what materials should be used for this vehicle??"
Song Yingxing's face was filled with helplessness. What Zhu Cixiong said sounded indeed very beautiful, and it seemed to be easy to implement.
But in fact, as a technician, Song Yingxing needs to consider far more than Zhu Cixiang!
Hearing Song Yingxing's words, Zhu Cixiang showed a smile on his face, looked at Song Yingxing in front of him and said, "Mr. Song, those who are capable should work harder!"
"Fine!"
Song Yingxing looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him helplessly.
"By the way, regarding this kind of gun, we need to design it as soon as possible and then start developing it as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Song Yingxing nodded.
At this time, Song Yingxing suddenly thought of something. He pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said, "By the way, Your Highness, how much do you want the cost of this cannon to be? How much money are you prepared to invest in it?"
"The cost of a cannon should be controlled within one hundred taels of silver!"
