Gao Hongtu was also stunned by these two figures. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Anyway, he is a bit of a disciplined person, otherwise he would not have gone on a hunger strike in the end, although this time he actually came to intercede for the northern officials and gentry, but at this time he was still shocked by the shamelessness of these guys.

Anyway, you have to make a little face!

You don't want to be so embarrassed, we can't turn around now!

In other words, he now understands why the emperor's temperament has changed greatly, and no one can stand such stimulation, 200,000 taels and 70 million taels, thinking about his relatives who died in such a comparison, even he feels that he has an urge to kill those civil and military ministers in Beijing as soon as possible. To be able to be shameless to such an extent, it is indeed in vain to read those sage books, this is purely self-inflicted, especially combined with the fact that after Li Zicheng escaped from Beijing, they would rather welcome the Tartars than welcome the emperor's evil deeds again, at this time Gao Shangshu also had a deep sense of powerlessness.

I can't even wash this ground!

"Gao Qing, you are a loyal minister, I can trust you, I can also tell you clearly, I will not pardon anyone who has betrayed me, I will not give those who have betrayed me any chance, for those who are loyal to me, I will not spare any reward, but for those who have betrayed me, I will never let go, I want the world to understand, loyalty is loyalty, traitor is traitor, if you want to be a loyal minister, don't be a traitor, since you are a traitor, you are not qualified to be a loyal minister!"

Yang Feng said viciously.

In this way, the last vestiges of illusion of the northern gentry in His Majesty the Emperor were also completely shattered, and there was no room for redemption, and the two sides could be said to have officially broken up.

As for the Jiangnan gentry......

They also have no way out.

Could it be that they can still take refuge in the only Holy Lord Mingjun at this time? It's not that they can't do this kind of thing, but even if they want to, they can't reach it, and there is a Li Zicheng in the middle! Besides, it is useless to take refuge, even if they take refuge in Dolgon, it is impossible for the latter to attack Li Zicheng and relieve them from the siege, because in that case, the emperor will continue to stab Dolgon in the back. In short, at this time, their only choice is to hold the Yangtze River, as long as Li Zicheng crosses the Yangtze River, then the emperor can always find an excuse to clean them up, they are not fools, the emperor's performance in the north is obviously to calculate the general account with them over the years, but it also leaves them a glimmer of leeway, and this margin is that they must hold the Yangtze River.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Yang Feng.

Spring.

It's time for him to move, too.

Ning Yuan.

"Fire!"

With the roar of an officer, twelve nine-pound bronze cannons roared at the same time, and in the firelight of the muzzle spray, twelve cannonballs whistled across the sky, hitting countless scarecrows wearing paper eight-flag costumes in the distance, and the heavy cannonballs with powerful kinetic energy were like raging beasts, instantly hitting a channel of fragments, it was obvious that if it was replaced by a real person, it would be a passage of flesh and blood.

"Yes, good training!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

"It's the things that His Majesty taught!"

Wang Chengen said busily.

He is almost resident in Ningyuan, specifically responsible for the training of the Dangkou army, and the content of the training is all compiled by the emperor, of course, it still takes great effort to turn things on paper into reality, Lao Wang has been exhausted for most of the year, in fact, he is a few years younger than Chongzhen, and white hair appears on his head, and after more than half a year of training, it is time to test the results.

"Order the infantry to step forward!"

Yang Feng said.

The huge war drum behind him immediately sounded, and one of the standard-bearers waved the flag in his hand.

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

……

In front of the high ground at his feet, the shouts of the officers in the open wilderness rang out one after another, and in a small horizontal formation of three columns of infantry, the soldiers with bayonets on their shoulders immediately stepped forward, led by officers, standard-bearers, and trumpeters. These soldiers have been trained rigorously for a long time, especially under the pressure of the emperor to conduct alternative assessments from time to time, at least in terms of queues, at least there is absolutely no problem with the queue, even similar to the lobster soldiers in the movie.

In fact, because of the scarlet military uniforms on their bodies, they are indeed similar to the lobster soldiers in the movie.

"Stop!"

Soon the officers' roars rang out again.

These officers are not appointed, but chosen by the soldiers themselves, and this is an army built entirely out of nothing, where to find officers? So simply let the soldiers choose by themselves, anyway, they have to take them desperately to the battlefield, they can choose whoever they can trust, there are no brigade-level officers, Yang Feng himself is also the commander, but the officers at the battalion level and below are all chosen by the soldiers themselves.

But these officers are not final appointments.

Whether they can really get the position they currently hold, and all the benefits that this position brings, depends on their actual combat performance in the future.

With the roar of these officers, one by one in the infantry horizontal formation, those advancing soldiers quickly stopped, and then began to raise their guns in the roar of the officers, and aimed their guns at the scarecrows almost eighty meters away, when the order to fire was given, everyone pulled the trigger almost at the same time, and the smoke of the black powder sprayed formed a spectacular cloud in front of their formation, and the dense fire in the cloud shone brightly, looking at this scene, Yang Feng felt like a little Na on the battlefield.

The first round of shooting is over.

The soldiers quickly began to reload their ammunition.

At the same time, a large number of brocade guards in charge of statistics stepped forward and quickly counted the number of bullets in the scarecrow.

"Your Majesty, a total of a thousand scarecrows, sixty of which were destroyed by shells, all of them were counted as killed and seriously wounded, four infantry posts of the first battalion, eight hundred swinging guns fired a salvo, a total of seven hundred and seventy swinging guns fired bullets, and the remaining scarecrows were hit by bullets eighty-five, of which thirty were killed and removed from the fatal places, and twenty-eight were removed from the non-lethal places but could not fight, and the rest could still hold on to the reservation."

Liang Cheng soon reported.

"The hit rate is still a little lower!"

Yang Feng said.

"Your Majesty, some soldiers have just been sent to the Dangkou Gun, and the training time is still short."

Wang Chengen said cautiously.

"Keep going! Shoot at a distance of ten feet, shoot continuously for two minutes, and all the scarecrows must be hit, otherwise all the soldiers will not eat today's meal. ”

Yang Feng said.

Beside him, the flag waved again.

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion, who were inspected, immediately continued to move forward, and soon reached a distance of more than 30 meters from the scarecrow, and began to repeat the action of loading ammunition and aiming and pulling the trigger as fast as the officer gave the officer's order.

In two minutes, all the soldiers desperately increased their speed, as the dense gunfire continued to sound, in the muzzle spray of fire and gunsmoke, bullets kept flying towards the remaining 800 or so scarecrows, those soldiers almost turned into machines, the results of countless daily training were displayed here, and for a full two minutes, the gunfire never stopped.

Two minutes passed quickly.

"Your Majesty, all the remaining scarecrows were shot, of which three hundred and fifty-one were fatal and killed, and the non-fatal ones were killed, but two hundred and thirty-two were incapacitated, and the rest were minor injuries that could still maintain their combat capability, but this will not happen on the battlefield, and the minister estimates that even with the ferocity of the Tartar, it will not be able to last these two minutes."

Liang Cheng soon reported.

"But on the battlefield our soldiers will not be so calm, they will also panic and shoot bullets into the sky, they will even shoot the whole strip as bullets, you go and check the guns of those soldiers, see if there are any bullets in it."

Yang Feng said.

"Huh?"

Liang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly led his subordinates to check, and then quickly ran back with five swinging guns in his arms and a speechless face.

"Your Majesty, there are five such ones in total, at most one of them is stuffed with seven bullets, and he hasn't shot from the first bullet, and he doesn't know it yet, and then he keeps stuffing it in."

He said.

"Pull these five aside, each whip a long memory, and you go check the remaining bullets of the soldiers and count the number of bullets they fired."

Yang Feng said.

Soon, amid the screams of the five unlucky soldiers, Liang Du commanded the envoys to complete the count.

"Your Majesty, all the soldiers fired a total of four thousand eight hundred and twelve bullets, the least of which fired four, the maximum of eight, and the other twelve were damaged and could not fire, seven of which were caused by the poor maintenance of the soldiers, and the other five were manufacturing problems."

He said.

"How many of the eight bullets were fired?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Twenty-one!"

Liang Cheng said.

"Each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, those who only shoot four bullets will not eat today, as for the damage caused by poor maintenance of the weapon, one person will be whipped a whip, and their gang commander will be whipped together, and this matter will be set as a system in the future, and the commanders of each team will check the weapons of the soldiers from time to time, and if they are found to be poorly maintained, the gang commander and the soldiers will all be whipped, as for the manufacturing problem, send it to the Ministry of Industry to Song Shangshu, find out the reason and find out the number on the parts, All parts manufacturers to assemblers to quality inspectors are deducted one month's wages. ”

Yang Feng said.

In fact, all of this is inevitable, whether it is the soldier hit rate, or the gun failure rate, which is within an acceptable range, which means that this army has no problem at least training, and the rest is not that training can be solved, they need to really go to the battlefield to see blood.

As for the target, Yang Feng has also been chosen.

While Liang Cheng and Wang Chengen were busy rewarding and punishing those soldiers, the fleet of sailors led by Zhang Mingzhen, the commander of the first town of the Forbidden Army's Naval Division, had also arrived at Juehua Island, and then these warships would be loaded with the entire army of the Dangkou Brigade to start their first expedition.

Target......

Gaizhou!
