I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Wu Changqing and the other generals came to another hall, and Liu Hansan was the first to scold: "The imperial court doesn't take us seriously. We occupy most of Suzhou Mansion, and a general wants to send us away."

"The Zheng family in the imperial court, have they ever fought a victory? Have they killed a Qing army? Each one is either a marquis or an earl, and our general is working hard on the front line, but there is only one general soldier, not even a title. "

Li Shaobin is also holding injustice for Wu Changqing, and of course, he is also holding injustice for himself.

Only when Wu Changqing got a high reward, can the rewards for their subordinates follow. If Wu Changqing had only one chief soldier, they wouldn't expect any good rewards.

Wu Changqing motioned everyone to stop first, and then said: "Now that Tang Wang and Lu Wang coexist, we really have a hard choice. I personally think that we don't need to rush to accept the reward for the time being, as long as we continue to strengthen our strength and occupy more territory. At that time, the imperial court would never dare to lose our reward."

"Yes, let's build up our strength first. The current award is just a title. Anyway, they won't give us reinforcements for a soldier or a grain of food."

Liu Hansan agreed.

......

"General Chen, is there any movement from the Qing army in Changzhou?"

Wu Changqing asked.

Chen Shichang, who was in charge of patrolling and vigilance, stood up and replied, "Not yet."

"That's weird. Could it be that the Qing court doesn't want Suzhou anymore, otherwise how could they not send troops here?"

Liu Hansan was very puzzled.

At this time, Wu Changqing began to recall. He was relatively familiar with the history of Nanming, but he was too busy during this period of time to remember things deliberately. He couldn't remember some things.

Now that he noticed the abnormality of the Qing army, he recalled it again, and recalled some history.

Wu Changqing felt that if he remembered correctly, Li Zicheng seems to be dead now, and then his subordinates were headless.

And He Tengjiao got the 100,000 army, his strength soared, and then he began to attack the area of ​​Jiujiang, Nanchang, Jiangxi. Later, it was Lu Kedehun of Nanjing who led his troops to defeat He Tengjiao.

Come to think of it, it seems like this is the time.

After getting the answer, Wu Changqing's mood was a little better. The Eight Banners soldiers of Luck Dehun were much more powerful than the soldiers of Liu Liangzuo and Li Chengdong.

Now that he has gone to deal with He Tengjiao, he has more time to develop.

As for Liu Liangzuo or Li Chengdong, he is not very worried now. As long as they dare to come, he can teach these people a lesson.

"It's better if we don't come. We have more time to prepare for the battle. However, we can't be careless, so I'm going to recruit another 3,000 soldiers and focus on training first. When the war starts, we can replenish each department at any time."

With Chen Daolin's financial support, Wu Changqing is now relatively wealthy and can recruit again.

"Actually, it's easy to recruit soldiers. The key is ordnance. If there are more firearms in the army, our strength will be greatly increased."

Liu Hansan said that he is obsessed with fire guns now, and he really wants to replace the weapons of his subordinates with fire guns.

"There are only so many craftsmen, I can't be in a hurry."

Wu Changqing said.

"General, we can send a small group of troops to attack the surrounding small counties. There is no need to occupy them all. We just need to break through the city and bring all the craftsmen in the city."

Dai Zhijun made a suggestion, which was approved by everyone.

For a small county town like Wujiang County, where there are few garrison troops, it is relatively easy to attack. The reason why they don't fight now is mainly because they don't have so many troops to garrison.

But now, Dai Zhijun said, we can get rid of the site and just get those craftsmen.

Wu Changqing thought about it for a while and felt that the idea was not bad. Then he asked Liu Hansan, Wang Dayong, and Wu Yi to lead the troops to attack Jiangyin, Xishan, Songjiang and other counties.

In this operation, they don't want land, they only need craftsmen, and by the way, they will grab the county government's coffers.

Whether it's weapons or money, the more of these things, the better.

A few days later, Nanjing.

Hong Chengchou received the latest battle report that Jiangyin, Xishan and other places were attacked by Suzhou rebels.

The strange thing is that after the rebels captured these places, they did not stay there, but robbed the warehouse and took away the artisans in the city.

Is this to build a fire gun?

Hong Chengchou quickly guessed Wu Changqing's purpose, because in the previous battle reports, it was mentioned that the firearms of the Suzhou rebels were extremely ferocious.

Not only the shooting distance is long, but also the rate of fire is very fast, and there is no need to ignite the match.

In several battles, the Qing army suffered losses from this kind of firearm.

From the battle report alone, Hong Chengchou still couldn't imagine what that kind of firearm looked like, but seeing that Wu Changqing did not hesitate to send troops to capture the people in the county in order to build these firearms, he could also guess that this kind of weapon must be very useful.

"Call Guan Changlin to see me."

Hong Chengchou instructed his personal soldiers that he would send someone to arrange some meticulous work to Suzhou to find a way to get the secret of this new fire gun.

If he can obtain the manufacturing technology of this new type of fire gun, he can summon craftsmen to imitate it and improve his combat power.

The ancients only lacked knowledge, but they did not lack wisdom.

Elites like Hong Chengchou, who are both civil and military, are very receptive to advanced weapons. Just hearing that the new firearm works well, he already thought

How to imitate the mill.

This reaction speed is considered to be very fast.

Of course, he was also forced.

Originally, he wanted to let Lucked feel fortunate and lead his troops to break Suzhou in person.

But no one could have imagined that Jiujiang and other places were in an emergency at this time, and He Tengjiao led tens of thousands of horses to attack Jiangxi and Anhui.

He Tengjiao won Li Zicheng's Dashun Army, with more than 100,000 troops, and they were all veterans who had fought in wars. The rebels in Suzhou were only a few thousand, and they were all new recruits.

Compared with the threat of He Tengjiao, the threat of this small group of rebels in Suzhou is nothing.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Luck Dehun directly led his troops to Jiujiang. As for the rebels in Suzhou, Luck Dehun said that it would be enough to leave it to Liu Liangzuo.

After all, Liu Liangzuo's army also had more than 30,000 troops. Even if Suzhou could not be captured, it would be no problem to surround Suzhou and trap the rebels in the city.

As long as he solves He Tengjiao, the rebels can't take it anytime.

Hong Chengchou naturally agreed with this strategy of Le Ke Dehun. He had already ordered Liu Liangzuo to prepare his army for war.

Because he was worried that Liu Liangzuo would suffer from the fire gun, he moved to steal the secret of the rebel fire gun.

At the same time, he also transferred a large number of old-style fire guns in the warehouse to Liu Liangzuo.
