Zhu Houcong was a little surprised.
This turned out to be the reward for wiping out Li Zicheng's forces!
what's the situation? Could it be that Li Zicheng was unfortunately trampled to death by a random horse in the battle just now?
It seems not. Although the Ming army came fiercely and slaughtered many Dashun soldiers, Li Zicheng's headquarters structure in the rear was not damaged. The original plan was for the cavalry outside the city, led by Zhu Di, to surprise Li Zicheng's headquarters and complete the victory in one battle. Zhu Di's cavalry was entangled by most of Liu Zongmin's troops, but they only defeated Li Zicheng's cavalry, but failed to attack and kill the headquarters.
So, how did Li Zicheng die?
Zhu Houcong didn't know what was going on, but he simply didn't think about it so much now. After all, Li Zicheng was not dead, and now he had completely lost his chance. With his vitality severely damaged, he would not be able to threaten Ming Dynasty's position in a short time.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houcong looked at the three mission rewards.
The first award is the bottom-blown acid converter steelmaking method...
A steel-making method developed in the 19th century, it is the beginning of the modern chemical industry. It is not very difficult. Although the current level of the Jiajing Dynasty is not very good, I believe that as long as I work more, this steel-making method will be the same. Can come in handy.
But Zhu Houcong didn't intend to choose.
Because the Jiangnan Shipyard that is rewarded after completing the mission has a 3-ton acid open-hearth furnace and a 15-ton acid open-hearth furnace, which are enough to ensure the level of steelmaking!
The third item, fifteen million taels of silver, can solve a lot of problems. Who doesn’t care about financial problems?
However, the Jiangnan nobles had a lot of money, which had become their own piggy bank. It could be said that the army could go south at any time and then take it all. Zhu Houcong's demand for silver was not very big.
As for future fame?
Does Zhu Houcong care about this?
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty came out of the chat group and embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. Zhu Houcong naturally didn't care about reputation, as long as it could increase national power and increase the Jiajing Dynasty's treasury assets.
As for the second item, an opportunity to travel freely between dynasties... This actually made Zhu Houcong feel very novel.
Related to chat groups, it may be useful.
"I choose reward two." Zhu Houcong opened his mouth.
Along with Zhu Houcong's choice, an additional item called 'Opportunity to travel freely to and from various dynasties x1' appeared on the virtual panel in front of him.
[An opportunity to travel freely between dynasties. 】
[Function: After using it, you can choose to travel freely between the worlds among group friends, or choose to use it as an anchor point to lock in an unknown dynasty after turning on the 'National War' function. 】
After seeing this introduction, Zhu Houcong was stunned.
National war function?
This function was very new, and it surprised Zhu Houcong. He wanted to check it out, but nothing happened.
However, Zhu Houcong secretly memorized this function and did not intend to use this prop.
It is actually not difficult to travel freely between worlds among group friends. You only need to initiate assistance among group friends. Traveling through the world is particularly easy.
And this ability to "lock on an unknown dynasty after the national war begins" is unprecedented and worthy of attention.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Houcong retracted the void panel in front of him, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's position, only to find that Zhu Yuanzhang was also standing there, thoughtfully.
Looking at it like this, it seems that he has also received a mission reward.
As if aware of Zhu Houcong's gaze, Zhu Yuanzhang also raised his head. When their eyes met, he immediately understood a lot.
"We got something called 'potato seeds'. I don't know what it is, but it looks good." Zhu Yuanzhang spoke directly without any hesitation and told Zhu Houcong about the reward he had received.
When Zhu Houcong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
This reward is somewhat average.
After all, potatoes had been introduced to the Central Plains during the Wanli period, and potato seeds are now available in Beijing.
But the products produced by the chat group may be much better than the potatoes of the Chongzhen Dynasty?
Zhu Houcong didn't quite understand, but he had already chosen to confirm, so he couldn't say anything.
Then, Zhu Houcong repeated his reward again, but he didn't hide it.
After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, and then he said excitedly: "National war? What is this? Can we compete with Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Emperor Tang Zong and Song Zu?"
Zhu Houcong waved his hand, indicating that he was not sure either.
Although he is the group leader, Zhu Houcong has a dark eye for this chat group and needs time to get used to it.
After learning about the rewards from both parties, Zhu Houcong and Zhu Yuanzhang simultaneously shifted their attention to Zhu Youjian, who had a low presence on the side.
Zhu Youjian saw the look in the eyes of Zhu Houcong and Zhu Yuanzhang, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then he cupped his hands and said: "Master Taizu, Master Shizong, this junior did not receive any rewards."
"Perhaps the chat group also feels that the junior's moral character is insufficient and has failed to meet the standards for awarding rewards."
After saying that, Zhu Youjian had a self-deprecating expression on his face.
Maybe so.
After learning that Zhu Youjian did not receive any reward, Zhu Houcong was slightly disappointed, but he continued: "In this case, don't be idle anymore. Immediately send someone to sort out and copy all the books and materials in the capital into three copies. Let me and the armies of the Yongle and Hongwu dynasties take them back respectively. Tang Ruowang and Bi Maokang under your command will listen to you and collect more talents. The Age of Discovery has arrived, and the Americas have begun to be developed. The development of science and technology is the last word. !”
"promise."
After receiving Zhu Houcong's order, Inspector Zhu You did not dare to delay at all. He quickly descended from the city wall and led the eunuchs in the Forbidden City to copy the information needed by the three ancestors.
After Zhu Youjian left, Zhu Houcong did not forget his original plan and quickly climbed down the city wall. Under the protection of the Jinyi Guards, he and Zhu Yuanzhang came to the outside of Beijing and in front of Hao Yaoqi's headquarters.
Hao Yaoqi was out of ammunition and food at this moment. He was surrounded by shield formations of the Ming army and could not get out at all. However, these Ming soldiers did not swarm them and hack them to death. In such an environment, Hao Yaoqi felt It was very torture, as if a tiger had its fangs pulled out and was being restrained left and right.
"Long live your Majesty, long live the Ming Dynasty!"
"Long live my emperor!"
"..."
Suddenly, there was a loud noise around him. Hao Yaoqi felt a little dizzy. He raised his head slightly and saw two dragon banners stopped in front of the military formation.
Is it Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty?
Such an idea came to Hao Yaoqi's mind, and soon, surrounded by the royal guards, two emperors wearing dragon robes appeared in Hao Yaoqi's sight.
A very young man, who seemed to be in his early twenties, with a heroic appearance and high spirits, had a vague feeling of a hermit master in his movements, but he was wearing an imperial robe. This feeling was even more disturbing. This young man has a sense of elegance and luxury.
The other man was much older, about fifty years old, with a cold and arrogant murderous intent in his eyes. Just standing there, he had a natural kingly demeanor, not angry and proud, as if he was killing someone from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The ultimate king emerges!
Even though Hao Yaoqi is Li Zicheng's general, he has to admit that Li Zicheng's so-called kingly spirit can be said to be completely ugly and without grace when faced with these two great emperors!
At this moment, Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei standing beside Zhu Houcong, came out with his sword, looked at Hao waving the flag, and scolded: "His Majesty Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty Jiajing are here in person, the thieves will quickly bow down!"
After hearing these words, Hao Yaoqi was stunned.
"Although I haven't studied for a few years, Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Jiajing were both over 200 years ago and over 70 years ago. Don't try to fool me!"
Although he mumbled like this, Hao Yaoqi's heart trembled.
He thought of the intelligence that the spies in Beijing had received early on, saying that Emperor Chongzhen had the help of previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
Hao Yaoqi dismissed this before, but now it seems.
I'm afraid this is true.
Otherwise, how could Emperor Chongzhen recruit so many elite soldiers?
