Zhu Cixiang stood up from his position with a look of surprise in his eyes, looking at the Jin Yiwei in front of him and asked curiously.
"Yes! Your Highness, Hong Chengchou used the tactics we used before, concentrating explosives and blowing up the city wall. Then Hong Chengchou blew up the city wall that he had blown up once before, and finally the city wall collapsed!
After holding on to the first wave of attacks, Hauge hurriedly retreated, while Hong Chengchou captured Shanhaiguan during the second wave of attacks!"
"oh!"
A thoughtful look flashed in Zhu Cixiang's eyes. In such a battle, both sides must have suffered a lot of losses!
And judging from the follow-up, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will probably still have to fill it with human lives!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang's eyes flashed with light.
"Hong Chengchou's men really have such a talent for explosives!"
Zhu Cixi said with some emotion.
Although he has never visited Shanhaiguan, the first pass in the world, in this life, he had traveled there in his previous life. Zhu Cixiang was still very aware of the thickness of Shanhaiguan's city walls.
Two blasts, but only a few kilograms of black gunpowder, were actually able to bring down the city wall!
What this requires is the concentration of blasting points. This is not the modern era of the previous generation. Many scientific instruments can be used to measure some locations and carry out fixed-point blasting.
This is ancient times!
And the city wall doesn’t let you just go and measure it!
The key is, how to place so many explosives?
This is all knowledge, it is not that easy, it can even be said to be very difficult and very academic!
The person who directed such an explosion was definitely a professional explosion expert in this ancient time!
Zhu Cixiang had a look of emotion in his eyes.
Zhu Yi on the side smiled slightly and looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said: "Your Highness, we have found information about that explosives talent under Hong Chengchou!"
"Oh?? So fast!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Zhu Yi in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that they found the information about the explosives talent so quickly!
"We have all the information under Song Yi, and the Jinyiwei he founded also has a lot of information, and they are also placed in the Bloodscale Society! And this blaster, Dorgon seems to have also taken a fancy to it, and let Song
People from the Righteous Sect are coming to contact us!"
"Ha ha!"
Zhu Cixi smiled.
"This Dorgon values talents as much as I do!"
"How about that? The one who exploded??"
Zhu Cixiang asked Zhu Yi in front of him with curiosity in his eyes.
"That explosives talent, his name is Wang Xi, a Beijing native and a craftsman. His family has been a gunpowder craftsman in Beijing for generations, making gunpowder for generations. Later, when he was sent to Dezhou, he was kidnapped by Kong Youde and sent to the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"
"I see!"
A hint of sigh flashed in Zhu Cixi's eyes.
At this time, Zhu Yi in front of him pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him and said: "Your Highness, should we send someone to contact him?"
"Try it!"
Zhu Cixiang pondered for a moment and then spoke to Zhu Yi in front of him.
"But don't expose the existence of the Blood Scale Society! Let's try to make contact. If it doesn't work, forget it!"
"Okay! I will notify Song Yi!"
Zhu Yi said respectfully to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"Right!"
At this time, Zhu Cixiang pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Yi in front of him and asked: "How is the matter about Hejian Mansion??"
“The situation is better than expected!”
Zhu Yiyi said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him with a smile on his face.
"All the disabled soldiers we trained were placed in various villages, and they basically organized a resistance force.
Even in a village in Nanpi County, hundreds of people from a village actually blocked more than 20 Manchu cavalry!
After being hindered, these cavalrymen wanted to escape, but their retreat was surrounded by county soldiers and people from surrounding villages who came after hearing the news! More than twenty of them were all killed!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yi showed a smile.
Zhu Cixi also nodded.
"very good!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said to Zhu Yi in front of him.
"Okay, is there any news??"
Zhu Cixiang asked Zhu Yi in front of him.
At this time, there was a hint of hesitation in Zhu Yi's eyes. He looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said, "Your Highness! The situation in Sichuan is not very good!"
“What’s going on??”
Zhu Cixiang's face turned slightly solemn, and he looked at Zhu Yi in front of him with a solemn expression.
At this time, Zhu Yi smiled bitterly and said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him: "Zhang Xianzhong launched a general attack on Chengdu. They were large in number, and Governor Qin Liangyu and General Huang Degong fought hard to resist.
But we can only hold on barely, and now most of Sichuan has fallen into Zhang Xianzhong's hands!"
After hearing Zhu Yi's words, Zhu Cixiang looked solemn.
“When did it happen??”
"What happened the day before yesterday..."
Zhu Yi hesitated for a moment.
"Your Highness, there are quite a few of our Jinyi Guards in Sichuan, but the road is not easy to travel, and our news spreads very slowly... Yesterday, His Majesty ordered Shi Kefa to lead 50,000 elite troops into Sichuan!"
Zhu Cixiang's brows furrowed tightly, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
trouble!
Very troublesome!
Shi Kefa's elite men, aren't the people under him all the people under Zuo Liangyu before?
Zuo Liangyu has elite men under his command??
Zhu Cixiang expressed doubts.
"If you have any information about Sichuan, tell me as soon as possible!"
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Cixiang spoke to Zhu Yi in front of him.
Sichuan is a very important place. At present, the battlefields of the Ming Dynasty are basically good, but there are also a lot of elites sneaked in from Sichuan.
But it’s a tough bone!
What a hassle!
"Wait a moment!"
At this time, Zhu Cixiang pondered for a moment.
"Send a batch of muskets to Shu!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Just at this time.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Sir Bi Maokang asks to see you!"
Eunuch Li's voice came from outside the door.
"Okay, you go down!"
Zhu Cixiang said to Zhu Yi who was standing aside.
Zhu nodded and slowly left the corner.
"Let him in!"
Zhu Cixiang said towards the door.
Soon, Eunuch Li ushered in an old man with white hair and simple clothes and walked in through the door.
"Your Majesty, Bi Maokang, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The old man knelt down respectfully towards Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"Sir, please get up quickly!"
At this time, Zhu Cixi quickly walked down from the desk and helped Bi Maokang stand up from the ground.
This kind of preferential treatment made Bi Maokang tremble with excitement.
