People are in the heavens, breeding pacesetters

"Killing you will dirty my hands!"

Zhang Jingyun said to Zhao Jingzhong indifferently. As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of men in black appeared from the front and back of the house, holding muskets and opened fire.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, the calm streets were filled with smoke. As the new factory owner, Zhao Jingzhong was the most powerful master of martial arts in the East Factory.

"Hmph, you just want to kill me with a shotgun?"

Zhao Jingzhong was born in Dongchang, and he knew all kinds of firearms very well. Nowadays, Ming Dynasty's muskets, including the legendary three-eyed gun, are actually not that powerful.

Even in the eyes of some experts, the three-eyed gun is just a useless thing. It has a short and weak barrel, is difficult to accurately shoot, has little real lethality, and has poor accuracy.

Therefore, Zhao Jingzhong was not afraid when he saw a group of people holding muskets and preparing to shoot him. He immediately prepared to use his skills, expecting that the muskets would not be able to hit him.

Zhao Jingzhong's idea is actually correct.

He knew the Ming Dynasty very well, so why on the battlefield, the Ming army armed with three-eyed blunderbuss and the Eight Banners' firearms soldiers were bombarded to pieces?

Against the heavily armored Eight Banners infantry and cavalry, the three-eyed muskets could not penetrate their armor at all. Even if the soldiers fired guns and artillery like rain and snow, no one was killed in the attack.

In fact, this legendary "artifact" three-eyed blunderbuss, except for its loud sound and good signal, is not powerful in other aspects.

But as soon as a gunshot rang out.

Zhao Jingzhong suddenly straightened up. Even if he used his body skills, dozens of bullet holes were still appearing on his body in an instant, and he fell to the ground with a snap.

Bibala, Zhao Jingzhong lost his breath completely amidst a burst of crackling sounds. Zhang Jingyun then came to Zhao Jingzhong's side.

"It seems that the new firearms are quite effective."

For a modern person, Zhang Jingyun knows best what advantages and disadvantages the Ming Dynasty has, especially in terms of muskets.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty’s muskets are not as good as those of the Qing Dynasty.

Could it be that Ming Dynasty really didn’t have good equipment?

Of course not. The last half century of the late Ming Dynasty was precisely the era of the Ming Dynasty's explosion of military technology. In the seventeenth century, the Ming Dynasty had actually developed a self-generating gun and flintlock gun.

The advanced European "Spanish Musket Musket", which the Ming Dynasty people called the Turtle Dove Foot Gun, was also introduced by the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, there are also a dazzling array of modified firearms such as "Lumi Gun" and "Thunder Gun", and any one you choose will be of the world's advanced level.

But why did Ming Dynasty still lose?

After all, it is still a matter of corruption.

During the Wanli period, Zhao Shizhen developed the Lumi gun. The Lumi gun was extremely lethal and had excellent performance. Zhao Shizhen ordered Emperor Wanli to mass-produce it.

Emperor Wanli was happy and approved 30,000 taels. However, officials at all levels began to argue, and the gun-making plan came to nothing. Not a single gun was built, and the 30,000 taels of silver were still 14,000 taels short. In the end, even The ledgers were accidentally lost.

Zhang Jingyun will not watch history repeat itself.

He asked Emperor Chongzhen to specially approve 500,000 taels of silver for making guns, and combined it with the most advanced musket manufacturing technology of the Ming Dynasty, and took out some of the muskets he seized from the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and finally presumed to be imitations of Hanyang-made rifles. After a year, With hard work, tens of thousands of Ming craftsmen worked day and night to make them, and with multiple supplementary funds, a total of more than 10,000 rifles have been made.

Zhang Jingyun's investment in gun-making totaled more than one million taels, and the total cost of each rifle was as high as one hundred taels of silver.

This was definitely a sky-high price weapon for the Ming Dynasty. The main reason why the three-eyed blunderbuss was so good was that it was simple to make and low in price.

You can easily make three to five thousand guns and equip a team of tens of thousands of people. As for whether they can fight, it is not a matter of the gun-making officials.

Zhang Jingyun didn't feel bad for spending so much money on making guns. If the Ming Dynasty didn't spend the money on this, would it still be left to the Qing Dynasty?

With guns, there are weapons that transcend the times. In the face of imitations made in Hanyang, no matter how powerful the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are, why should they be so angry on the spot?

Zhang Jingyun had Zhao Jingzhong's body disposed of, and then returned with the Imperial Guards. The first batch of Hanyang-made weapons had been equipped with 5,000 weapons by the Imperial Guards for practicing new combat methods.

With the remaining five thousand guns, Zhang Jingyun divided them into two parts and gave 3,000 guns to Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting had made great achievements in wiping out the Chuang King Gao Yingxiang in Shaanxi. With the new guns, he might be able to completely quell the rogue rebellion within a year or two.

Even Chongzhen didn't expect who the last two thousand taels would be given to. It turned out to be Lu Xiangsheng, whom he had promoted only last year. Zhang Jingyun allocated thirty thousand taels of silver to him on a whim, and Lu Xiangsheng actually formed a Tianxiong army.

The Tianxiong Army is unique. Due to lack of money and food, the Tianxiong Army formed by Lu Xiangsheng is composed of fellow villagers, friends, brothers, family members, etc.

Therefore, in this kind of army, if one person dies in battle, it can arouse the anger of most people. The fighting spirit is very strong, and when they encounter the enemy, they will fight to the end.

However, although this military model has advantages, it also has disadvantages. Later Zeng Guofan's army was similar to the Tianxiong Army. If one person escaped and was defeated, it might cause a chain reaction.

The folks in the village dispersed in a rush.

But Lu Xiangsheng's army did not have this worry, because he took the lead in every battle and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

Zhang Jingyun heard Jin Yiwei report Tianxiong's military situation, saying that once the army was short of food and the soldiers didn't eat for three days. Lu Xiangsheng also didn't eat for three days and didn't even drink water.

Therefore, in the Tianxiong Army, as long as Lu Xiangsheng did not run away, this powerful army would not disperse. From that time on, Zhang Jingyun knew that the Tianxiong Army would be one of the most powerful armies in the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Xiangsheng also lived up to expectations.

Last year, he made a great contribution in pacifying the bandits, and wiped out thirty-two groups of bandits one after another. He was even called the King of Hell by the bandits.

In December of the same year.

The remaining troops of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, fled to Hanshan, Hezhou and Chuzhou. Lu Xiangsheng heard the news at Xisha River and personally led his army to exterminate the bandits. He defeated Li Zicheng and other generals of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, at Qiding Mountain.

Li Zicheng once wanted to surrender to the Ming army.

Yang Sichang, who was the Minister of War at the time, advocated recruitment. Regardless of Lu Xiangsheng's refusal to make peace, Yang Sichang decided to order Li Zicheng and other troops to reform.

However, Li Zicheng only pretended to surrender in order to get a chance to breathe. After more than a month of training, he rose up again. Yang Sichang was caught off guard and missed the opportunity to destroy Li Zicheng.

Zhang Jingyun was furious and ordered Chongzhen to depose Yang Sichang. In the Ming Dynasty, rogue bandits were causing chaos. Leaders like Li Zicheng were proficient in false surrender methods and had no reason to issue an imperial edict.

April of the second year of Chongzhen.

Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi Province, has mastered the essence of suppressing rogue bandits and defeated them. He will not accept surrender and kills the leader as his top priority!

As the application and manufacturing process of new muskets were improved, Zhang Jingyun invested more than one million taels of silver and achieved greater and greater results.

The manufacturing cost of Hanyang-made rifles is getting lower and lower, the process is becoming more mature, and more and more Ming troops are equipped with new muskets.

Sun Chengzong's troops at the Liaodong border also began to equip themselves. As the equipment became more and more advanced, even Sun Chengzong couldn't help but ask for a proactive attack.

Zhang Jingyun agreed after hearing this.

In late April, Huang Taiji was defeated again.

Sun Chuanting took the initiative and fired volleys of muskets in turn. Huang Taiji's troops were caught off guard. The muskets of the Ming army did not need to pause to reload gunpowder.

Tens of thousands of muskets fired in turn, and the sound of gunfire was loud. In less than a day, more than 10,000 Qing soldiers were killed. Huang Taiji also fled in confusion and retreated to Shenyang.

During the Huang Taiji period, there were only more than 60,000 old Manchu soldiers. Now, tens of thousands of them were lost in a battle, which is also a heavy loss for Huang Taiji.

Especially the Ming Dynasty's new muskets, which were powerful and did not need to stop to reload ammunition. Once revealed, the Qing army was frightened.

This battle was a great victory at the border.

Sun Chengzong asked Shu to take credit. After Zhang Jingyun saw it, he found that the Ming army also lost more than 3,000 people. This is a Ming army equipped with imitation Hanyang equipment. It lost 3,000 and Shu had a face to take credit?

Give me a hammer, please!

In fact, at this time, the Ming army's military discipline was lax and it was hard to recover, and its poor combat effectiveness was an indisputable fact. The ability to kill 10,000 Qing troops was all due to their super-god-level musket equipment.

In May of the second year of Chongzhen.

The nationwide rogue bandits were almost quelled. Zhang Jingyun ordered Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Chen Qiyu and other troops to farm on the spot to support the army and promote high-yielding crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.

Potatoes, in particular, had been introduced during the Wanli period. However, they were only grown in the palace and ordinary people had no chance to eat them.

Zhang Jingyun was speechless.

Potatoes are truly high-yielding. Even in the northern region, after planting potatoes, you can also plant another crop of vegetables.

Such awesome things are actually grown in the palace. The emperor is really not afraid that the people will not have enough to eat. If there is no food to eat, who the hell won't rebel?

The farmers of all dynasties have only one bottom line, that is, let me have enough to eat, otherwise I will rebel. As long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, the farmers will not rebel, and it will be over if they tolerate it.

The Qing army was defeated and the peasant army was quelled.

The Ming Dynasty finally won a rare respite. Zhang Jingyun could make drastic reforms and implement the first Ming Dynasty Five-Year Plan.

In June of the second year of Chongzhen.

The Ming Taxation Department was established.

The Taxation Department of the Ming Dynasty was composed of eunuchs from Dongchang. They had only one goal, which was to keep the money bag for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

From then on, officials in the Ming Dynasty understood one truth: you can be greedy for money, you can buy offices, you can bribe your boss... but you must not evade taxes.

In the Ming Dynasty, it would take a long time to make mistakes for other things, rulings, and final penalties, but for tax evasion, the Jin Yiwei would come directly to the house and ransack the house.

Confiscate the family property first, and then go through the process of trial.

In the month of June of the second year of Chongzhen alone, hundreds of corrupt officials had died, and the Ministry of Personnel was still going through the process to impose penalties.

In the end, he was fined, demoted, and even exiled... He clearly didn't need to die, but he died because of the tax department. What a pity?

In July of the second year of Chongzhen, the Little Ice Age continued, and famines continued in Shaanxi, Shandong and other places. However, due to the promotion of planting potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops, the people of the Ming Dynasty had a hard time living, but not so many people died of starvation.

The number of rebellious peasants suddenly decreased.

Although the tax reform and the adjustment of land policy have not yet achieved land to the tiller, they have greatly changed the original destiny of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Jingyun knew that all that was left was to proceed step by step and promote the implementation of the reform step by step, and none of this could be accomplished overnight.

There is only one hidden danger left in Ming Dynasty now.

That is the Qing Dynasty outside the customs.

Huang Taiji was deeply ashamed of his defeat. He was plotting revenge day and night. Huang Taiji vowed not to give up until he avenged the shame at the border.

Chongzhen three years.

After a year of recuperation, Huang Taiji's troops felt that they were good again and were ready to make a comeback. The right year coincided with an insect plague that visited the Ming Dynasty. Locusts passed through the country. The Ming Dynasty was another difficult year, and it was time to mobilize the army.

The Ming Dynasty was in a difficult situation. There was either a severe drought across the country or locusts crossing the border. There was also heavy hail in April, which destroyed crops. The right time and place were not on the side of the Ming Dynasty. This year, you don’t need to think about it to know that there will be another large-scale rebellion. year.

And this time Zhang Jingyun also understood.

The Ming Dynasty was so difficult, but the Qing Dynasty was quite nourishing. If we want to change the difficult and difficult situation of the Ming Dynasty, we can only destroy the Qing Dynasty!

Occupy the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty!

Sun Chengzong once again took the initiative to attack, but Huang Taiji avoided his edge and wanted to consume the national power of the Ming Dynasty, waiting for the peasant army in the Ming Dynasty to stalemate with the Ming army.

August of the same year.

Sun Chengzong was recalled by Emperor Chongzhen.

Huang Taiji seized the opportunity and wanted to invade Kou Guan again. Little did he know that after two years of planning, the coach of Liaodong Liaodong had secretly been replaced by Sun Chuanting from Sun Chengzong.

Zhang Jingyun used the capital as bait to lure the Qing army deep into the city. The Qing army successively occupied Zunhua, Yongping, Qian'an, and Luanzhou, and the capital was in danger.

Huang Taiji's troops came to the city, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were panicked. Facing an army of 100,000, they seemed like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. However, the Ming Dynasty was no longer the Ming Dynasty of the past.

The Forbidden Army and the Tianxiong Army, all armed with new muskets and equipped with explosive shells (hand grenades), caused countless casualties in Huang Taiji's troops, and they could not capture the capital at all.

Not only that, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou joined forces to block Huang Taiji's retreat, and planted more than 100,000 new landmines on Huang Taiji's retreat.

Huang Taiji understood very well the importance of military strength and speed. If the capital could not be conquered for a long time, he could only retreat. However, he did not expect that he would be like entering the 18th level of hell, being destroyed by landmines and explosive bombs, leaving behind tens of thousands of corpses and fleeing into Zunhua in embarrassment.

On this day, Zhang Jingyun arrived in Zunhua in person.

“Zunhua…what a great place!”

Zhang Jingyun had endless emotions, it was so familiar, Zunhua, could this be destiny? Zunhua is the location of the tombs of later Qing emperors!

Shunzhi, Kangxi, Qianlong, the Queen Mother of the West, etc. are all buried here. I didn’t expect that in this world it would be the place where Huang Taiji’s defeated body was buried!

"This place is very good, it's time for a decisive battle!"

Zhang Jingyun issued an order!

The armies of the Ming Dynasty finally had a head-on confrontation with Huang Taiji's troops. Huang Taiji was already starving and destitute when he advanced into Zunhua, but now he welcomed the main force of the Ming army, and he knew that his destiny had arrived.

Huang Taiji then decided to surrender in Kaicheng.

In September of the third year of Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong refused to surrender and attacked the city, slaughtering all the remaining 40,000 people in Huang Taiji's tribe. All officials in the court rushed to impeach him.

What has been unknown since ancient times...

Zhang Jingyun also felt the same way. When Taizu raised his army, he was assisted by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. However, Chang Yuchun caused disaster by killing and surrendering.

Zhang Jingyun made an immediate decision.

Sun Chuanting was fined one year's salary as a warning.

All the officials were silent...

Zhang Jingyun used Sun Chuanting's one-year salary to build a tomb and buried Huang Taiji's body at the Longmen Gate of Zunhua, which won praise from both the government and the public.

The Qing Dynasty took a turn for the worse due to the death of Huang Taiji, and there was no possibility of restoration. The voice of the system sounded again in Zhang Jingyun's mind.

"Ding! Hidden mission completed!"

Zhang Jingyun's heart trembled. Finally, it became increasingly difficult to complete the hidden mission. He had not been able to secretly tame Emperor Chongzhen before, but now he had to kill Huang Taiji and destroy the Qing Dynasty.

"It's so perverted..."

Zhang Jingyun suddenly realized that maybe it wasn't that he and the Qing Dynasty were at odds with each other, but that the system had some inexplicable hostility towards the Qing Dynasty.

All three hidden tasks fell on Da Qing.

After defeating the Qing Dynasty, the entire Ming Dynasty rejoiced, the government and the public were excited, and the people were proud. This also brought the emperor's prestige to its peak.

Now if Zhang Jingyun implements any policies, the resistance he will encounter will not be so great, because the strong army of the Ming Dynasty will teach them how to behave.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Zhang Jingyun teased his son Zhu Cishui, who couldn't stop laughing. Then he picked up Miaotong's daughter, the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past few years, Zhang Jingyun has been busy with state affairs and has indeed neglected his martial arts practice, mainly because there is really no room for improvement.

You should know that Zhang Jingyun pays attention to health preservation and practice, and has practiced various health preservation techniques to the extreme, with a life span of more than 250 years.

On the other hand, dual cultivation never stops.

Zhou Miaotong and Beizhai were also pregnant again.

Zhang Jingyun thinks he has won the Ming Dynasty, but he has worked hard for several years and still can't enjoy it? So I got to know a few more confidante.

One of them must be mentioned.

That was Queen Zhang. Zhang Jingyun had been in the palace for a long time, but one day he got lost for some unknown reason and broke into Queen Yi'an's palace.

Queen Yi'an is Queen Zhang. She has a natural appearance, a graceful and plump face, a face like Guanyin, eyes like autumn waves, a mouth like a cherry blossom, a nose like hanging gallbladder, and white teeth. She was the first queen selected among more than 5,000 people that year. A beauty.

After the death of Emperor Tianqi, Empress Zhang was alone. Seeing her pity, Zhang Jingyun got in touch with her and helped take care of the wife of the previous emperor.

But she is so beautiful. Although her husband is dead, she is only in her early twenties. Her purity and mature temperament combine to make people unforgettable at one glance.

In September of the same year, Queen Zhang became pregnant.

………

"The world of Xiuchundao is not over yet. The peak martial arts mission has been achieved without any regrets and no one has been my opponent since three years ago..."

Zhang Jingyun was suddenly confused.

Logically speaking, he should have been able to return a long time ago, but he hasn't heard the system prompt until today. Could it be that something went wrong?

Zhang Jingyun shook his head.

If there is no problem with the system, it is his problem. After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, and that is that Zhang Jingyun's martial arts has not reached the pinnacle of this world.

"Is there still room for improvement for me?"

After thinking about it, the special things in this world were only those mental methods that interested him. The things he could develop were similar to internal power, but they were not internal power.

Originally, Zhang Jingyun wanted to find more mental methods to study, but he was delayed by state affairs and dual cultivation. Now that he has a rare leisure time, Zhang Jingyun started to think about it again.

soon.

Dongchang and even Jinyiwei sent a large number of mental techniques. Zhang Jingyun looked carefully and found that among them was the Xinyou Mental Technique that he had practiced, created by Qi Jiguang.

In addition, there are: Shaolin Heart Method, Wudang Heart Method, Songshan Heart Method, Huashan Heart Method, Chaoyang Heart Method, Golden Sword Gate Heart Method, Iron Sword Gate Heart Method... and other martial arts heart methods from various schools.

Zhang Jingyun was suddenly stunned.

"Where did the Golden Sword Sect and Iron Sword Sect come from? Who created the Shaolin, Huashan, Songshan and other mental techniques?"

Zhang Jingyun is familiar with these sects. He knows the Golden Sword Sect and the Iron Sword Sect. Yan Peiwei's father-in-law is the head of the Golden Sword Sect. The Iron Sword Sect is quite famous in the world, but in some martial arts novels, there are also The appearance of these sects.

Zhang Jingyun soon received a reply.

The origins of some sects' mental methods are surprisingly similar. They were all created by the first master based on ancient methods and combined with what he learned.

In addition, there are some martial arts sects that have been passed down for a long time. It is unknown how the ancestors created the mental methods. There is no evidence to test and no way to investigate.

The so-called ancient methods and even the ancestral methods of the great sects are all vague and unclear. Even the Chaoyang Heart Method practiced by everyone in the Dongchang eunuch can greatly increase the speed, but the practice by ordinary people has no effect...

Zhang Jingyun was silent for a while.

Later, he selected several famous mental methods, such as Huashan Mental Method, Songshan Mental Method, Shaolin Mental Method and Wudang Mental Method, and practiced according to them.

In the end, Zhang Jingyun spent a lot of attribute points. The nineteen mental methods with their own characteristics are integrated into one nameless mental method!

This practice is incredible.

Zhang Jingyun slapped the stone with his palm, and the stone exploded. Although it was a watermelon-sized stone, Zhang Jingyun could usually smash it into pieces, but that was because of his horizontal training skills.

Today, Zhang Jingyun is nothing but a flesh palm!

Even the external power was not working, and strange force was generated in the body, which directly smashed the stone. Zhang Jingyun instantly realized that something might be wrong.

"Isn't this thing an internal force?"

Zhang Jingyun was also confused by the fact that after adding a few points to the nameless mental method that integrated many mental methods into one, he actually developed something similar to internal power.

Zhang Jingyun thought about it over and over again.

This may be a declining martial arts world!

However, at this moment, Zhang Jingyun suddenly felt that there was an invisible force acting on him, as if it was pulling him into an unknown space.

Time seemed to have stagnated. Zhang Jingyun turned around and saw Beizhai's eyes in disbelief. Zhou Miaotong had just stretched out his hand and was completely frozen here.

The next second.

Zhang Jingyun disappeared before their eyes.
