Everyone went to help and drove Nurhaci down with all their skills. Jessica walked to the side and called to the two men guarding here, asking them to gather everyone and prepare to demonstrate the tanks and artillery.
"Which doors are we using this time?" he asked through Zelik.
"Drag 'Big John' and 'Big Paul' out." Guo Kang said.
Jessica nodded and went to work with her men.
"I am in charge of these artillery pieces, muskets, etc." Guo Kang explained: "I like to tinker with new things and look at these things, so they let me take care of them."
"I want to show off the strongest field firepower here, and then pair it with the vehicle array as a demonstration. What I just mentioned are the names of the two cannons."
"That's the name of a saint," Zhu Genna said.
"Yes." Guo Kang nodded: "You also know that whether today's firearms hit the target or even explode the chamber are very metaphysical matters. Therefore, everyone likes to name the cannons that perform well a religious figure. The name is considered auspicious."
"This is easy to understand." Zhu Wenkui nodded: "In the Ming Dynasty, there was a precedent of cannon sealing generals. Looking at it this way, everyone's ideas are indeed similar."
"Didn't my father want to recruit a general every day? Why not just let him buy a cannon." Jeanne said with a smile.
Zhu Wenkui actually thought for a moment.
"It's inconvenient for my father to travel everywhere. We here...have no need for cannons." He replied seriously.
"I mean, my father can't recruit anyone anyway, so why not give him some comfort." Jeanna rolled her eyes and had no choice but to explain again.
"My father is already working hard to recruit people, isn't he?" Zhu Wenkui pointed to Jashka and defended Zhu Yunwen: "Master Guo said that this person seems to be quite strong. This at least proves that in addition to cutting down the vassal, my father will also You might as well do something else..."
"..."
Jeanne was speechless for a moment, but Guo Kang was a little curious.
"I have the impression that Captain Jessica has fought many battles." He reminded: "From past war experiences, you can at least tell something. Haven't you even seen his resume?"
In his world, Jan Jashka, like other old mercenaries, traveled around Europe looking for suitable employers. He fought many times for the King of Bohemia. Although many times it was daily work such as highway robbery, it was still hard work and meritorious service.
Moreover, some people believe that he participated in the Battle of Grinwald and helped Poland-Lithuania decisively defeat the Teutonic Knights; others believe that he may have been hired by the English later to participate in the Battle of Agincourt, almost crippling France. .
Jeanne, a French village girl in that world, once threatened to wipe out the Hussites after finishing dealing with the British. If this resume is true, it seems normal to fight.
Unfortunately, Jessica had been dead for several years by then, and Jeanne herself was arrested by the British not long after, so no one could see who was better at fighting the village saint or the peasant heretic.
Of course, there is no need to think so much in this world. Even if the original version of Jeanne was there, with a super heresy like the Purple Horde, the Hussites would probably not be ranked...
"We have asked," Zhu Wenkui said, "but Captain Jessica has been miserable. Although he has a lot of combat experience, he really doesn't have anything to offer."
"Isn't it natural?" Jeanne complained: "At least he has seen the world and has been in contact with kings and nobles. If it was not miserable, I don't think he would even take refuge in his father..."
"What's wrong with him?" Guo Kang always felt something was wrong.
"This man is so unlucky. I don't know if he has any ability. Anyway, he chooses the wrong side every time." Zhu Wenkui said: "I heard from my father that when he saw Jessica, this man was already going bankrupt."
"At that time, the conflict between Bohemia and Shinra had just ended, and a group of mercenary captains who had made a fortune gathered in the tavern. Most of them wore conspicuous colorful striped clothes, packed a table, and began to brag. , trying to raise their profile and get better offers.”
"My father discovered that Jessica was the only one standing drinking and wearing colorful clothes."
"He is tall and tall; his face is pale and pale, with some scars between the wrinkles; he has a shaggy gray beard. Although he is wearing floral clothes, they are dirty and torn. It seems that he has not been mended or washed for more than ten years. In short, Just look at it and you can tell that he’s not doing well.”
"What's going on?" Guo Kang was a little surprised.
"I heard people talking about it behind their backs. It turned out that Jessica was also a lord, but her family property was too small and she didn't know how to do business. So she became poorer and poorer, and was about to beg for food. Fortunately, she could command the war, so she organized mercenaries for them. A bowl of rice to eat.”
"It's a pity that he has another shortcoming, that is, he is unlucky. When he joins any army, his employer will be destroyed along with his people, treasures, and luggage. Commissions and trophies are completely gone, and he even pays the ransom of his subordinates. This happened several times, and the people who organized the mercenary team were The money is gone.”
"I heard him say it too." Jeanna also answered: "Before, Poland and Lithuania reorganized their armies and prepared to attack the Teutonic Knights. Jieszka believed that Poland could win, so he took his men to join the coalition and also I invested all my wealth into it and expanded it into a larger mercenary group, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune."
"But before the war, the Teutonic Knights found that their military strength was weak and their strategic situation was also very unfavorable. The regiment leader Rong Jingen and others were very worried and asked for help from their hometown, but Sigismund and others from Shinra We are too busy with internal power struggles to give them enough support.”
"When they were desperate, at the suggestion of the Hanseatic contractor who provided logistics, the Knights approached the Purple Horde and sought a joint attack on Poland and Lithuania. The Purple Horde immediately agreed, mobilized troops to go north, and also sent a large number of Mongolian pirates. Attack the coastal territories of Poland and Lithuania. The Rus people under the jurisdiction of the Khanate also took action and were very active in causing trouble for Poland."
"At first, the Poles didn't take it too seriously, but soon a large pirate fleet gathered together, landed near Danzig, and breached the Polish fortress set up there."
"After the breach, the Mongolian pirates marched straight in and plundered everywhere. Some people also robbed all the way along the Vistula River, and they were almost heading towards Warsaw. The Poles had to divide their forces to expel and encircle the pirates, resulting in a reduction in the number of troops able to participate in the war. , the supplies are not sufficient.”
"At this time, the Teutonic Knights took the initiative to march and encountered the coalition forces south of Marienburg. The coalition forces, which were in poor condition, failed to take advantage of their advantages. Facing the Knights' cavalry and new artillery, they were quickly defeated. Poland fell. The center army was defeated by the charge of the knights, and the flags were lost. The others followed and fled."
"Jessica lost all his money in this battle." Zhu Wenkui shook his head and said, "However, he still has prestige. Hearing that England was preparing to recruit troops to continue the war with France, he contacted the mercenary manager , ready to participate, hoping to make a comeback."
"But at this time, due to the previous reduction of the vassal by the father, the French nobles joined the British army one after another. The army was quickly full and there was not enough logistics capacity to maintain a larger scale. The King of England then dismissed other mercenaries. Ka was sent back while he was still halfway there.”
