Liaodong. **Fastest Update**

Jinzhou.

Governor's Yamen.

Yuan Chonghuan was holding a book and reading it alone, as if he was reading a book, in fact, he was quite irritable in his heart, he looked at the book for a while, he really couldn't stand it, and then picked up the newspaper on the bookcase and looked at it, read it for a while, and then opened the previous newspaper It seems that some of the newspapers have been turned very dilapidated.

In this "stuffy" person's study, Yuan Chonghuan didn't have a taste in his heart, and he had mixed feelings.

Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town and Tartar fought "hot", and the fire was merged countless times, and the news that came out was either that the Tartars died a thousand, or that the Tartars died a few thousand, if this kind of news came out of Dongjiang Town before, Yuan Chonghuan just scoffed, and would never think it was true, but now it is completely different, from many channels, he can judge the authenticity of this matter, first of all, from the Di newspaper, this news cannot be fake, the Di newspaper is made by the emperor, the most important thing is authority and reliability, without this, Di Bao dares to say nonsense? Second, judging from the news of the intelligence system, this matter is also true, and even the detailed process of the operation was sent down, saying that it was for the reference of the commanders, staff officers, generals, etc., to learn from the combat examples, from the combat process that came here, Yuan Chonghuan felt that he could not find any fault, a bloody battle of life and death appeared in front of his eyes, Yuan Chonghuan still has some of his own news channels, anyway, in short, this thing is true.

This is the reason why Yuan Chonghuan is "bored", he was proud of it before, proud of it, and the people of Jinning were excited about it, but he got more than 200 heads, but now, Mao Wenlong's battle has not been finished, and the number of people he got is several times that of him, who is the main force to deal with Dongyu? Who is the Optimus Jade Pillar of the Ming Dynasty? Yuan Chonghuan doesn't need to be said by others, and he also understands in his heart that this sense of loss makes Yuan Chonghuan quite "stuffy".

Thinking of the Haikou he boasted in front of the emperor, what five years of Pingliao, Yuan Chonghuan thought of this, and there was a burst of blushing for no reason, this kind of whimsical boasting, even if he thinks about it now, he feels that it is too naïve, and he remembers the scene of being "abused" by the emperor on the sand table, and he still remembers it vividly, and then look at the emperor's arrangement, and then look at the emperor's countermeasures, Yuan Chonghuan is even more "stuffy".

The Eastern Front is Mao Wenlong and Tartar fought "impressively", which is particularly eye-catching, and even made Tartar give up the battle on the Western Front and specifically deal with him, judging from the recent battle report, Mao Wenlong is in danger and defends Zhenjiang Fort, there is still a great hope of winning, when the time comes, once Mao Wenlong survives, according to the head of the credit, how much credit is this? Ten Jinning victories or twenty? In the future, in the eyes of those ministers in the court and the emperor, it is naturally self-evident who is the first person to deal with the Tartars.

Look at the Western Front again, Man Gui has also been his subordinate, although it is not as impressive and magnificent as Mao Wenlong's fight, but it is also extraordinarily "happy", how many years have it been that he has been able to get things from the Mongols and send them to the Guannei, how many years has this been a thing? Sheep, cows, horses, goods, women, let those poor border soldiers howl one by one, and they all jumped out to fight the Mongols, how many years has this not seen the scene? The Mongols became lambs to the slaughter? Even many Guanning border generals are clamoring to follow Mangui to fight the Mongols, is the world changing too fast, or do they can't understand the world?

Yuan Chonghuan exhaled deeply, feeling the heavy pressure, there were moves on the eastern and western fronts, and they all had gains, but he was supposed to be the main force on the southern front, but now, there was no movement, just confronting the Tartars, the Tartars didn't move, he didn't move, he didn't move, the Tartars didn't move, as if the two sides had discussed, the scene that should have been swords and crossbows was drawn was now extraordinarily peaceful. **The fastest update** Yuan Chonghuan thought of this, he was even more irritable and more "boring". He boasted that he had read through 10,000 books, was upright, courageous, and full of loyalty, but, how to break this game, but there was no good way, the emperor's arrangement was "entangled", he didn't care about the city, he didn't care about winning or losing, he didn't care about killing the enemy, he didn't care about running away, etc., anyway, he didn't care about anything, as long as he couldn't go home with peace of mind, according to the emperor's will, he confronted the Tartar like this is victory, and he completed the emperor's task absolutely perfectly, but, he Yuan Chonghuan was unwilling, so go on, TMD yourself is a waste.

Yuan Chonghuan unwillingly smashed the bookcase, and the bookcase "banged", and the paperweight and pen holder on the bookcase jumped high. ,

This sound was not only a strong earthquake in the house, but also a sound outside the house.

Yuan Chonghuan frowned, very irritable, and when he heard someone outside, he asked, "Who?" ”

A trembling voice sounded outside the house, saying, "Master, it's small!" A lieutenant came to report the news, saying that Lin Dan Khan had sent someone to send someone to send a head, and he had already arrived at Lord Liu......"

It turned out that outside the house was his own little house, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but be more irritable, what does Lin Dan Khan have to do with him when he sends people's heads? It was sent to Liu Jishan, not to him, if it was before, this matter would still be in his charge, but now, these matters of contacting foreign vassals are all under Liu Jishan's management, although Liu Jishan is just a small seven-rank official, but he can sit on an equal footing with him, the governor.

Yuan Chonghuan was even more troubled, even Liu Jishan, a seven-rank civil official who didn't care about military and politics and didn't have a single soldier under his command, got a lot of Tartar heads, but what about him? A governor with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of sergeants in his hands, but he didn't get a single head, and he "meditated" with the Tartars all day long.

Yuan Chonghuan went out of the study without a head or a brain, and habitually entered the "war room", a large room full of sand tables and maps, which was also full of people and people, very lively, this room was set up with reference to the emperor's staff, and now the sand table is popular, and Yuan Chonghuan is no exception.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't feel the slightest feeling when everyone saluted, and went straight to the edge of the big sand table, looking at the city called Jinzhou where he lived, and then looking at a small city called Zhenjiang Fort in the distance, and his heart was even more troubled. What should I do? Yuan Chonghuan couldn't stop asking himself. He may have learned from Mao Wenlong and hung the entire Jinzhou City with the heads and corpses of the Tartars, so as to attract the attention of the Tartars, so that the Tartars had to attack the city; Perhaps, I have to choose a few brave generals like Mao Wenlong, who can tease hundreds of people with twenty people, and specifically tease the Tartars; Perhaps, he should agree to the request of the border generals, say hello to his old subordinates, Man Gui, and let these border generals go with Man Gui to fight the autumn wind, no, I have to ask Your Majesty about this matter...... Yuan Chonghuan looked at the sand table alone, not a single thought in his heart was accessible, he only felt unprovoked irritability.

…… Forbidden city.

"Blossom bombs?" Yang Gai looked at this newly sent report in surprise, and was not a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, it is the flowering shell, Staff Officer Zhang of Zhenjiang Fort said that that night, because the Tartars dug a big pit and put the cannons in the pits, it was difficult for the cannonballs to hit the cannons of the Tartars, and if there were flowering cannons, it was easy to hit the cannons of the Tartars......" Sun Chengzong said movingly. Speaking of moving, it is the report that I just arrived today, the report was sent by Zhenjiang Fort, which wrote in detail the battle process of Zhenjiang Fort that night, the most critical of which is the mention of the flowering cannon, Zhang Heng believes that the flowering cannon is the best weapon to deal with the Tartar digging pit. &&&Latest Chapter Baidu Search:&&

"Blossom bombs?" Yang Reform was quite surprised! I have only heard of this kind of thing, Yang Reform does not dare to confirm that the Ming Dynasty can make it, or it is a gimmick, but when I heard Zhang Heng mention this thing, it seems that there is indeed this thing, Yang Reform's heart can't stop "bang, bang, bang" jumping, if the Ming Dynasty originally had this technology, then, it is not difficult to get it out again, that is, there will be great progress in weapons.

"Your Majesty, you may have to ask the War Bureau or the Ministry of Industry about this matter." Sun Chengzong said.

"Well, yes, big companion, immediately pass the decree, let Fu Mingde immediately find out if there is such a thing as a flowering bomb in my Ming Dynasty, so that he can figure out the words of going back and forth immediately." Yang Reform immediately ordered. As for the Ministry of Industry, forget it, this military industry is obviously a piece of fat, there is no need to push the silver outward, now the grenade business, the business of Da Nei is very good, it is a good errand to make money, if the Ministry of Industry is involved, it will inevitably have to be divided, Yang Reform has no plans in this regard.

"The slave and maid obey the order, so go and pass the decree......" Wang Chengen agreed, and immediately went to pass the decree.

…… Wang Chengen left, Yang Reform carefully considered this matter, and the wild boar skin also knew that the pit was dug, which was progressive! Nor is it stupid.

Just thinking about it, Sun Chengzong said again: "Your Majesty, according to what Staff Officer Zhang said, in addition to digging pits for cannons, Donglu also dug pits for people, saying that after Donglu dug the pit, he hid in the pit and did not come out, and there were still grenades on the head of the city, so it was difficult to still enter the pit, so that on the night of the siege, there were many casualties, and the loss and tear also increased, and it was easy to hurt the Donglu ......, Your Majesty, this Zhenjiang Fort, I'm afraid there is a difficulty......" Sun Chengzong's face was a little anxious, the thousands of people in Zhenjiang Fort relied on grenades, relying on firearms, if firearms, In particular, the grenade is of little use to the eastern captives, then, Zhenjiang Fort is likely to be unable to hold, once Zhenjiang Fort cannot be defended, the thousands of miles of battle line arranged by His Majesty the Emperor are afraid that it will collapse immediately, which is a troublesome matter. ,

"Dig a pit!" Yang Gengai realized that the problem was serious, thinking that this pit and ditch were the best things to avoid firearms, and this wild boar skin was not stupid! So quickly found a way to deal with firearms?

Wild boar skin can dig pits, can dig ditches, can dig ditches, can go out of trenches, can dig tunnels, when I think of the kind of trench warfare in the movie scene in the future, Yang Reform was shocked, not good, this wild boar skin has evolved too fast, his firearms have only evolved to the level of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the Tatar tactics have evolved to the nineteenth century, and even the twentieth century.

Yang Reform was so anxious that he walked back and forth in the platform, and the wild boar skin would dig trenches, so should he come up with some new weapons to restrain himself?

Yang Reform was anxious, walking back and forth in front of the sand table, this news made Yang Reform, who has been relatively cool these days, worried.

"Your Majesty, don't be too anxious......" Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor was in a hurry, and began to comfort the emperor.

"Master Sun, why aren't you in a hurry? Zhenjiang Fort is now dangerous. "Of course Yang Reform is in a hurry, what role does the trench have in the war in the age of firearms, Yang Reform has never been on the battlefield and knows it, without him, in movies and television, the war is in the trench. Now the wild boar skins have figured out the trick of fighting, and this battle is really dangerous.

"Your Majesty, Zhenjiang Fort is thousands of miles away, and it is useless for Your Majesty to be anxious, besides, hasn't Zhenjiang Fort already repelled the Eastern Captives?" Sun Chengzong persuaded, I don't know why, after the emperor read this report, he became very anxious, in Sun Chengzong's view, although there is some trouble, but it is not worth the emperor's urgency, according to Sun Chengzong, Donglu wants to capture Zhenjiang Fort, unless it is filled with human lives, and human lives are exactly what Donglu cannot afford to lose.

"Alas...... Master Sun, how long will it take for my support to reach Phi Dao? Yang asked anxiously.

“…… Back to Your Majesty, it is already mid-October, and you can get to Phi Dao in three or four days at most. Sun Chengzong replied.

"Three or four days? That's good, I hope to go up as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid that this Zhenjiang Fort will be really dangerous......" Yang Reform said with a little sorrow.

"......" Sun Chengzong didn't speak, those things and reinforcements that supported Mao Wenlong, not to mention anything else, at least the Yalu River has to rise, if the water does not rise, how can the warship get up, now the Yalu River is a dry period, not to mention the Big Worm River.

"Your Majesty, whether you can go to Zhenjiang Fort or not depends on whether it rains or not, it all depends on the will of God!" Sun Chengzong reminded the emperor.

"Uh......, providence?" Yang Reform does not believe in the will of heaven or not, but believes in the data, the Great Worm River and the Yalu River have records of rain in October every year, which is enough.

…… As soon as the little eunuch who passed the emperor's decree left, Fu Mingde immediately set off a gust of wind in the war bureau.

Fu Mingde, the eunuch of the War Bureau, sits quite comfortably, and if he can earn money and face for the emperor, he has to look at the emperor at a glance, and he can eat well inside and outside the palace, and he will have face, so Fu Mingde attaches great importance to his position as the eunuch of the War Bureau, so he does not dare to be sloppy about the things explained by the emperor.

After a while, the military battle that flew all over the ground finally calmed down, and Fu Mingde came towards the Forbidden City with a smile.

...... "Your Majesty, Fu Mingde has arrived." Wang Chengen reminded on the side.

"So fast? Seeing ......, "Yang Reform was still thinking about the issue of Zhenjiang Fort, and Fu Mingde arrived and did things quickly.

"Slave maid Fu Mingde knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Fu Mingde kowtowed with a humble face.

"Excuse me, Shi Mingde, how did you ask about the blossom bomb?" Yang Gengai asked impatiently.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are indeed flowering bullets, and they have been around ......for a long time," Fu Mingde immediately replied, this is something that was only obtained after asking many old craftsmen in the War Bureau, and Fu Mingde believes that he will not be wrong.

“…… Okay, move on. Yang Gai breathed a sigh of relief, the Ming Dynasty really had this thing, but unfortunately, I don't know how, it was not popularized on a large scale, and it did not leave any prestige in history.

“…… Back to Your Majesty, there is such a thing as a flowering bomb, but this kind of shell is not easy to make, the cost is high, and it is easy to get into an accident, it is easy to blow up yourself, and it will blow up the cannon and injure the gunner at every turn, so, Your Majesty, this flowering bomb is being used less and less......" Fu Mingde explained.

"How's the price?" Yang asked Gengai. Silver is not a big problem for me now, even if it is an expensive weapon, I dare to use it in batches, I already have a weapon that has stepped into the scale of industrial production, if there are more weapons that need to be industrialized, this is better. ,

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the old craftsmen of the War Bureau, this cost is not cheap, it should be more than a few taels...... Maybe two out of ten ......" Fu Mingde finished speaking, and secretly looked at the emperor, this flowering bullet is indeed expensive, and it is more cheating, I hope the emperor will not blame himself for reporting too high.

"So expensive?" Yang Gengai asked in surprise that the cost of the flowering bomb was indeed a bit unexpected.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, this flowering shell is indeed ridiculously expensive, and its cumbersome production is not something that ordinary people can imagine,...... It is also easy to be scrapped, therefore, the cost is quite expensive, and, Your Majesty, this flowering bomb, the use is not very stable, often will explode, will blow up the gunner, Your Majesty ...... "Fu Mingde originally wanted to talk about the "bad deeds" of the flowering bomb, reminding the emperor not to use the flowering bomb easily, so as not to hurt people, hurt the cannon, can not draw, now a qualified gunner, but are fed with cannons, can not afford to hurt, but think about their identity, still did not say.

"Three or four days? ...... "Yang Reform didn't listen carefully to what Fu Mingde said, but was thinking about his own problem, that batch of supplies may go to Zhenjiang Fort in three or four days at the earliest, and he had to send the flowering bomb into it as soon as possible, and now it is obviously too late to make it, it seems that he can only send the craftsman in, I hope it is still too late."

"Fu Mingde, you immediately find a few craftsmen who can make flowering bombs, bring the necessary tools......" After saying a few words, Yang Reform turned to Sun Chengzong and said, "...... Master Sun, please send these craftsmen to Zhenjiang Fort as quickly as possible, hoping to catch up with them......" Yang Gai only hoped that they could catch the last train to reinforce Zhenjiang Fort, and it was too late for him to catch up with the flowering bombs.

Sun Chengzong was puzzled for a moment and agreed: "Obey, Your Majesty ......"

"Fu Mingde, you tell those craftsmen to concentrate on doing things for me, and I won't forget them." Yang Gai turned his head and said to Fu Mingde.

"Obey, Your Majesty, the slaves and maids must give good instructions to those craftsmen, and they must let them do things well for Your Majesty, and never miss Your Majesty's affairs." Fu Mingde immediately agreed.

"Okay, after this batch of craftsmen is sent out, you can find someone to study this flowering bomb, see if you can improve it, make it safer, simpler, easier to use, cheaper, I have a heavy reward, you must ......be more attentive to this matter" Yang Gai instructed, he has this inner court, there is Niu B's royal arsenal, what to do, to the point that you don't need to do it yourself like other traversers, you can mobilize the strength of the whole of China, this is obviously a considerable advantage, no need to use it in vain.

"Slaves obey!" Fu Mingde immediately smiled and agreed, the emperor is a person of Chrysostom, now, he has to be able to fight again, and he has to show his face again, the last time the grenade, although the patent money for each piece is not much, but now the production of millions of pieces, that money, is not a small amount, now the few craftsmen who make grenades for the emperor have been developed, and by the way, he has also made a lot of silver, and more importantly, in the eyes of the emperor, he is useful, which is more important than anything else.

Fu Mingde is gone, Yang Reform regrets it a little, maybe he is too impulsive, maybe the news puts too much pressure on him, causing him to be a little flustered, how long will it take for the news of Zhenjiang Fort to get here? I'm busy working here, maybe the people in Zhenjiang Fort have already thought of a better way.
