The army repaired overnight in Datong Province, and the next morning it crossed the Great Wall and continued its march north.

After crossing the Great Wall, you will reach the boundary of the Ming Dynasty's Menggu Province, which is the outside of the poem, and the western part of the Menggu Province is adjacent to Chahar, but the Menggu Province is vast, and the herdsmen in the east have not been affected.

After a non-stop journey to the west, the army crossed the province of Menggu and reached the city of Kulun five days later.

Kulun is located at the junction of the ancient province of the Ming League and Chahar, 80 miles west of Chahar, from Kulun City all the way to the northwest more than 600 miles to the boundary of Beihai Province.

Zhu Cihong didn't complain about the pain in his butt these days, but as Liu Hongjian expected, after only three days of exposure on the grassland, Zhu Cihong's neck was sunburned.

"Comfortable! I've never felt so comfortable sleeping in a bed before. ”

In a mansion in Kulun City, Zhu Cihong was lying on the soft bed on all fours, and he didn't have time to care about his dignity as an emperor.

After leaving the Great Wall from Datong Mansion, although Zhu Cihong did not complain about the hot weather and his butt hurt, he only held on and was embarrassed to say that he was so tired that he was tired every day, and his bones were scattered, and he could only sleep in a tent at night.

He had never experienced these before, so much so that Zhu Cihong was talking about the brocade couch in the palace all the way, and now that he has entered this Kulun City, Zhu Cihong didn't even eat dinner, and directly came to lie on the bed.

"Hehe, let's sleep again, after tonight, I don't know when I can sleep next time." Liu Hongjian sat at the round table in the center of the house, drinking tea.

"Shall we just stay in Cullen City for one night? The grassland here is so beautiful, everyone is tired from the rapid march these days, why don't you stay for two more days? Zhu Cihong said weakly.

"Do you think we're here for a vacation? I want to go home early and hug my wife! Liu Hong snorted softly.

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang, please see you!" A thick baritone shouted loudly outside the door.

"Well, you can sit down quickly, and let people see what kind of system you have become." Liu Hong gradually heard that it was the old subordinate who came down, and hurriedly reminded Zhu Cihong.

After getting Liu Hongchuan's permission, Babala pushed open the door and came in to salute, and after finishing it, he got up and glanced at Liu Hongjian and grinned, and Liu Hongjian had a black line on his head.

Do you want to come here as a quasi-son-in-law?

It's cute! Lao Tzu takes you as a buddy, and you take me as a son-in-law? If you want me to help you raise your daughter, just say it! Liu Hong glared at Baba and didn't speak.

"The emperor has come from afar to work hard, I am a rough person, and I have poor hospitality, please forgive me." Baba bent down and said to Zhu Cihong.

"It's okay, I'm here to fight and not to travel, this Kulun city is built well, and I see that the herdsmen outside are also living very well, you have done well in the past two years, I am very satisfied!"

Zhu Cihong's words almost made Liu Hong bite his tongue gradually, Nima, is there such a shameless person in the world?

"Babala, let's briefly talk about the situation in Chahar and the Rakshasa Kingdom!" Liu Hong gradually pointed to the stool next to him, interrupting the boring routine of the two.

Although the situation of the two sides has been roughly understood from the Jinyi Wei system, but at this time, there is no big brother, such a long distance is inevitably delayed, and Babala, who commands all the troops of the Menggu Province, naturally knows the situation of the neighbor to the west more clearly.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Babala was also not polite and sat opposite Liu Hongji.

"A few days ago, the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom came to the city of Kulun, but they dangled along the city wall and left.

The army of the Rakshasa country has been resisted by the tribes of the Chahar before, and now these rebellions have basically been bloodily suppressed by the Rakshasa country, and the emperor of the Rakshasa country took most of the army to the direction of Xinjiang Province, but the Chahar also left tens of thousands. Baba said.

"Where's the weaponry?" Liu Hong gradually didn't care where this guy went, he only cared about the armament of the Rakshasa country.

But it's just like that, after all, if the Rakshasa Kingdom is really awesome, it won't run around in Kulen City.

I think it was because the walls of Kulen City were too thick, and they couldn't gnaw on it for a short time.

"Their muskets are also very powerful, almost the same as the muskets in the hands of our Ming soldiers, but it seems that we are slightly better in terms of range."

Babala once ordered someone to find a few muskets from the battlefield between Chahar and the Rakshasa Kingdom.

"There are also grenades in the Rakshasa Country, but they are not as powerful as ours, and I haven't seen their artillery yet, and I don't know how powerful their artillery is." Baba said truthfully.

Liu Hong gradually understood as soon as he heard it, the best ratio of special black powder Europeans only understood after more than a hundred years, why the grenade power is not good, why the range of the same musket is not as far as the musket of the Ming Dynasty, the problem is here.

As for artillery, not to mention, everyone is a solid iron bump, it depends on whose iron bump is big and whose gun barrel is thick!

"Are the firearms of the Rakshasa Kingdom so sharp?" Zhu Cihong said in surprise.

After all, he has never led soldiers, according to Zhu Cihong's ideas, his Liu Qing did not hesitate to spend so much effort to build ordnance, improve the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, and fought so many victories, in terms of armament, it should be the Ming Dynasty is better.

"Don't underestimate your enemies." Liu Hong gradually frowned and said.

It is true that he wasted so much effort, but at the beginning of the Ordnance Institute, the Ming Dynasty had lagged behind Europa in firearms and warships, and the efforts of the craftsmen of the Ordnance Institute in the past few years only made the Ming army barely better than Europa in terms of firearms.

After all, whether it was a rifle or a grenade, or a cannon, a primer, or a battleship, the Europa people were the ones who made it first.

And what about Daming? The development of firearms has long gone astray, artillery is getting heavier and heavier, and musket technology has been stagnant for hundreds of years.

Although the bulky power of the artillery was slightly increased, it could only be placed on the city wall for defense, and it weighed a few tons at every turn, and it could not be used in field battles at all.

But fortunately, Liu Hong gradually stopped the car urgently, otherwise in the hands of Jiannu Tartars, the firearms would really be completely stopped.

The three of them chatted in the house for a while, and there were soldiers outside who said that the meal had been prepared, and Zhu Cihong was tired and didn't want to move, but he was still dragged by Liu Hong to eat and drink with Babala.

In his words, after eating this meal, I don't know when I want to drink next time, don't regret not eating.

Zhu Cihong said that he was not hungry, but he was still drunk and fluttering.

After settling Xiao Zhu, Baba gradually pulled Liu Hong aside.

"Lord Wang, why did you get the emperor here? It's dangerous here, and it's not easy to get into trouble. "Babala's belly is not red or red under a pound of white wine, although he has long known the decision of the boss, but Baba is still uneasy.

"The flowers in the greenhouse can't withstand the destruction, don't worry, has this king fought an unprepared battle?"
