Xijing Henan Prefecture, Luoyang.
Before the Qi Dynasty, thirteen dynasties had established their capitals here.
During the Liang Dynasty, Luoyang, as the eastern capital, could be said to be one of the two most important cities in the country and the highest point of civilized cities at that time.
However, after the wars at the end of the Liang Dynasty, Luoyang was devastated and its former glory was gone forever.
During the Qi Dynasty, Luoyang continued to recover, and its prosperity surpassed that of Chang'an. It was designated as the companion capital by the Qi Dynasty. Its status was second only to the capital and above Damingfu, an important town in the north.
At this moment, Luoyang has become a gathering place for the Qi Dynasty's old ministers and famous scholars.
Most of the other members of the old party also gathered here, holding regular cultural meetings and talking about state affairs.
The private garden where Wenjun studied in Luoyang was called "Duyuan", covering an area of 20 acres.
During the Qi Dynasty, Luoyang gardens were extremely prosperous and were recognized as the best in the world. At this time, Luoyang, as the ancient imperial capital, had the customs of the previous dynasties and the beauty of the mountains and climate. In addition, noble ministers and wealthy families gathered here, so the garden style naturally prevailed.
Luoyang was unbearably hot in the summer, and Wen Junshi often stayed in his hut, sweating profusely, in order to study. So he asked someone to dig a deep pit in the house, built a cool basement, lit oil lamps, and immersed himself in writing.
According to historical records, Wen Junshi spent more than a dozen hot summers in this underground cold cave.
However, Wen Junshi, who moved to Luoyang at this time, did not close his eyes and ears, but always maintained contact with people in the old party.
Whether it is regular cultural gatherings or frequent visits, Wen Junshi can be informed of the news in the court or the implementation of new laws at the first time.
"Censor Wen is so elegant."
Wenjun didn't stop writing, but he could tell who was coming just by his voice, and responded: "Prefect Han did not go to implement the new law, but he came to the house of my old minister who was demoted again and again. Why?"
Previously, Wenjun was actually a right-hand admonition to the officials, but later due to the implementation of the new law, he had decided to live in Luoyang to study books, never mention political affairs, and served as the censor of Xijing Liusi.
The person who came to visit was a key figure in the new party at this time, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, Han Que.
At this time, Han Que smiled slightly: "Wen Yushi is knowledgeable and talented. I admire him very much. I think of all the talents. By the way, I would also like to share with Wen Yushi my experience in the reform process."
Wenjun smiled and made no comment.
But after his train of thought was interrupted, he couldn't continue writing. He put the pen aside and said, "It's May, so it's time for Qingmiaofa to borrow autumn materials."
Han Que nodded: "The list of farmers who requested autumn materials the day before yesterday has been determined. Unexpectedly, Wen Jianyi is quite familiar with the content of the new law."
Wen Junshi shook his head slightly: "How can we not observe the laws that harm the people? I am afraid that in order to implement the new law and collect people's wealth, you and other officials have been apportioned, so they have put down so many young crops loans."
Han Que smiled and said, "Yu Shi Wen is overly worried. This is really not the case. The Qingmiao Law stipulates that Qingmiao Loan is completely voluntary, so how can there be a showdown."
Wen Junshi looked at him with an expression like "What are you pretending to be a foreign guest?"
I don’t know what the virtues of these officials of the Qi Dynasty are?
Han Que seemed to have guessed what he was thinking: "Censor Wen, there are indeed several magistrates and magistrates in several prefectures and counties who have forcibly allocated Qingmiao loans. I have already reported it to the court and will fight them to the end.
“After killing the chicken to scare the monkey, other states and counties will probably be shocked as well.”
Wen Junshi smiled coldly: "The Prime Minister will not agree to your memorial."
Han Que smiled happily: "Yu Shi Wen guessed wrong. After I came to the meeting, Prime Minister Wang approved it as soon as possible and implemented everything according to my suggestion.
"The magistrates and county magistrates who were demoted or dismissed have already found other vacancies to fill their positions. After all, the thing that our Qi Dynasty is most in need of is officials."
Wen Junshi was stunned, and then he picked up the pen again: "Prefect Han, don't try to deceive me. Although I am living idle and writing, I am not faint.
"If Magistrate Han comes here just to entertain me, please come back."
Han Que laughed: "Why did Yushi Wen say this? I always treat people with sincerity, how can I cheat. If Yushi Wen doesn't believe it, he sends someone to check the reputation of Qingmiao Law among the people. Naturally, he will I know if what I said is true.
"Yushi Wen continues to edit the book, I will take my leave now."
Han Que strolled away.
Although Wen Junshi held the pen and pretended to continue repairing the book, he thought about it again and again and finally put down the pen.
At this time, all he had in mind was what Han Que had said about the new law, so how could he think about writing books.
Of course, Wen Junshi has his own judgment on the new law.
He believes that if the new law is implemented in the end, it will definitely become a law that harms the people.
First of all, he believed that the wealth of the world was fixed, and it was not in the people but in the officials. If Qingmiao Loan wanted to increase the revenue of the national treasury, it would inevitably harm the people's wealth;
Secondly, he also knew in his mind what the nature of these officials in the Qi Dynasty was. Wang Wenchuan was indeed very successful in piloting new laws at the local level, but how many Wang Wenchuan were there among these officials? Even if Han is true, what about the other prefects? What about the prefecture and county magistrates under the prefecture?
Thirdly, he also knew what kind of person Wang Wenchuan was. At this time, the New Party simply did not have that many available people, so the appointment and removal of officials must be very arbitrary, and they would probably turn a blind eye to the behavior of expropriating people's wealth.
But what Han Que told him completely overturned all his previous judgments!
Han Que could actually restrain his prefects and county magistrates to strictly implement the Youth Law, and the people would volunteer and never show their cards?
Moreover, he wanted to remove these officials and replace them with other officials, but Wang Wenchuan immediately agreed without even checking?
What a fantasy!
Wenjun actually knew something about Han Que.
He was promoted at the speed of light because of his support for the new law. In Wen Junshi's eyes, although he was not a complete villain, compared to Wang Wenchuan's moral character and ability, he was far behind.
For such people, for the sake of their own promotion, it is only reasonable behavior for them to connive with their magistrates and county magistrates to force the apportionment of young crops to increase their performance.
How come it's like Wang Wenchuan is possessed by Wang Wenchuan, and he can actually implement the new law to the letter?
Wang Wenchuan's complete trust in him was even more outrageous.
Because Wang Wenchuan also knows the virtues of these officials promoted at the speed of light. What if Han really submitted these personnel appointments and removals in order to attract cronies and cultivate his own power in Henan Prefecture, Xijing?
Wang Wenchuan was far away in the court, and it was almost impossible to find out who the officials dismissed and promoted by Han Que were. Therefore, a better way to deal with it must be to only approve some of them and shelve others.
Unless there is solid evidence or a reason why he must be removed, Wang Wenchuan will not approve it so simply.
As the prime minister, how could Wang Wenchuan safely delegate all the personnel appointment and dismissal rights of the Xijing and Henan Prefecture to Han Que?
This simply baffled him.
But looking at Han Que's confident look, it doesn't look like he is deceiving himself out of boredom or making fun of himself.
Thinking of this, Wen Junshi immediately called his men over and asked them to contact the old parties in various places to find out the news.
Make sure what Han Que said is the truth.
…
Lu Heng was in a good mood after leaving Wen Junshi's paradise.
It’s so fun to see this old party official looking confused!
In this final trial, he was possessed by Han Que, the prefect of Henan Prefecture in Xijing.
The original Han Que was indeed a variable in the new party. He did not fully support the new law, but used the new law as a way for him to advance.
But now Han Que after Lu Heng traveled through time is completely different.
The other players who time-traveled into these officials were basically the same as Lu Heng.
They have only one goal, which is to implement the new law to the letter like Wang Wenchuan did when he was the county magistrate!
These players have already been tempered in previous simulation trials. They have already presided over the reform as Wang Wenchuan in the court. At this time, delegating to the local level is equivalent to killing a chicken with a knife.
They are all too aware of the twists and turns these grassroots officials have.
After all, when I played Wang Wenchuan before, I almost became so angry that I vomited blood because of the subversive and crooked behavior of these grassroots officials.
Therefore, whenever their magistrates and county magistrates cause trouble, they can quickly discover it and deal with it with thunderous means.
The Qi Dynasty already had redundant officials, so there were many officials waiting for idle posts. If possible, they would have to replace them.
Moreover, players who play these officials inherently have two huge advantages.
First, the players do not have any interests related to each other. They do not expect the new law to be promoted, nor are they worried that the new law will harm the interests of their landlords, so they can strictly implement it like a machine.
Second, players absolutely trust each other. Therefore, as long as Lu Heng wants to remove or promote any officials, Wang Wenchuan will approve them as soon as possible; whatever Wang Wenchuan played by Chu Ge wants to submit to the emperor, Meng Yuan will also approve them immediately.
Officials in history could never do these two things.
As a result, the group of players traveled through time and directly built the entire Qi Dynasty's court into a monolithic piece from top to bottom, and even formed an almost unique will.
The new law was naturally implemented in accordance with its original conception and almost to the letter.
Even if there are occasional aboriginal local officials who cause trouble, players can quickly discover and severely correct them, minimizing the situation where the new law is distorted and becomes harmful to the people.
Of course, without those forced apportionments and usury, the income from the Young Crops Law and the Immunity Law will definitely decrease accordingly.
But it doesn't matter to the players, because it's obviously more sustainable.
As long as the people gradually accept the new law, the new law will be supported by farmers. With the support of this huge interest group, the new law can be sustained for a longer period of time.
In addition, the increase in national fiscal revenue during the development of productivity must also be taken into consideration.
The farmland water conservancy law in the new law uses the interest money from the Qingmiao loan to build water conservancy projects and develop agriculture.
Wen Junshi believed that the wealth of the world was fixed, which was obviously wrong. Although the development of productivity in ancient times was very slow, land reclamation, irrigation, population and farmland continued to increase, and the world's wealth also continued to increase.
Lu Heng believed that as long as three to five years passed, the entire Qi Dynasty would become completely new under the supervision of these officials.
I wonder what kind of expression Wen Junshi will have on his face then?
Inexplicably, I still have a little expectation.
…
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
A carriage was parked in a farmland in a prefecture or county near Luoyang.
"Master, we are here."
The driver opened the curtain, and Wen Junshi got off the carriage and looked at the endless farmland.
It was early spring, and the crops were growing well. Several farmers were sweating profusely in the fields, busy weeding and irrigating.
The driver came to the field, gave a farmer a few coins, and called him over.
"My master wants to ask you a few questions."
The farmer didn't know Wen Junshi's identity, but looking at the man's gorgeous clothes and extraordinary bearing, he knew he was probably an official, so he hurriedly said with great respect: "Excuse me, sir."
Wen Junshi pondered for a moment and then asked: "I heard that you used Qingmiao Loan for all these acres of land?"
The farmer nodded: "Yes."
Wen Junshi frowned: "Young Miao Loan's interest rate is 2 cents, which is already a high interest rate. Officials will definitely forcibly apportion and raise the interest rate. Can you afford to pay back the interest rate?"
The farmer was a little surprised: "Why did the official say this?
"How can two-cent interest be considered high interest? If you borrow money from a wealthy family, it will probably cost at least seven or eight cents!
“This green crop loan is a loan voluntarily given by the common people. Otherwise, there will be no harvest and no crops to be planted. Once there is no harvest, wouldn’t the common people have no choice but to pawn their fields and become tenant farmers?
"As for the interest, thanks to Mr. Niao, the weather has been good this year. After paying the taxes, repaying the youth loan, and paying the exemption money, there should be a lot of rations left.
“Without the new law on young crop loans, ordinary people would have no choice but to borrow loan sharks from wealthy households. By then, even if their farmland has a good harvest, they may end up pawning their property.
"What's more, Prime Minister Ao used the money from the Qingmiao loan to build water conservancy projects, and the farmers' farmland was irrigated, and they harvested more food."
Wen Junshi still didn't believe it: "But what if we encounter a year of famine?"
The farmer became even more confused: "If it is a year of famine, the Qingmiao loan can be extended or waived depending on the situation. It is similar to the original Changpingcang relief. Don't the officials know?"
This time it was Wenjun's turn to be confused.
Because according to this farmer, the new law is actually implemented to the letter? And the local farmers are actually quite grateful?
Is this reasonable?
On the other hand, Wen Junshi, who has been writing behind closed doors, seems to be a little behind the times.
Wen Junshi was silent for a long time, and finally returned to the carriage and said to the driver: "Let's go to the next place."
He didn't believe it. He had to look at a few more farmlands and get more information from other old party officials before he could finally believe it.
…
The sky is full of wind and clouds, and time is passing by.
In the land of the Qi Dynasty, the new law implemented wholeheartedly by dozens of powerful officials is proceeding with great vigor.
At the beginning, people were still worried and quite resistant to the new law.
On the one hand, these farmers are very aware of the urinary nature of officials. When they hear about the new law, they instinctively think that it is a new tax, and they are naturally repelled.
This is the simple experience accumulated by farmers during their long life under rule.
On the other hand, those wealthy households and officials of the old party are also constantly creating public opinion, criticizing the new law, and constantly discrediting the new law, further intensifying the concerns of farmers.
But soon, this new group of party officials used practical actions to dispel many of the farmers' concerns.
The annual interest rate remains unchanged at two cents? No showdown? Severely punish local officials who distort the new law? Can it still take three years to gradually gain support from households?
From Wen Junshi's point of view, everything is a fantasy.
But this matter really went on in such a bizarre way.
Although there were some backlashes in the middle, these backlashes were quickly liquidated under the joint suppression of the emperor and Wang Wenchuan, with unprecedented ferocity.
What makes these old party officials even more angry is that the emperor seems to have really become the boss.
No matter how they criticized the new law and impeached Wang Wenchuan, the emperor had one reaction: I didn't see it!
The emperor didn't seem to read the memorial at all; in the court, there was no chance for the old party to speak. Every time, after Wang Wenchuan made a fake report, the emperor waved his hands and dismissed the court in boredom.
Although the officials of the old party all hope that "the Holy Emperor will rule by hanging down the arch", but... it is not such a hanging down method!
Doesn't this mean that all the government affairs are handed over to that traitor Wang Wenchuan? The emperor doesn’t care about anything?
Aren't you afraid of party strife? Aren't you afraid of being ignored?
The old party officials were so angry that they cursed and impeached Wang Wenchuan for committing treachery and harming the country, but the end result was that the emperor looked at them like idiots and drove them out of the court.
Over the past five years, various changes have been carried out in an orderly manner.
The players first controlled all official positions with real power from top to bottom, and then spent three years implementing the Young Crops Law, the Immunity Law, and rectifying local officials, initially establishing trust in the new law among the people.
Afterwards, the official system reform was carried out to eliminate redundant officials, and new laws were further implemented to build water conservancy projects and survey land across the country.
In the fifth year, a drought hit the entire Daming Mansion. Since the players had made preparations in advance, the victims were rescued without causing much turmoil.
Then, the land survey was gradually completed, and the land privately occupied by wealthy families was spit out, adding new tax sources to the court and filling the national treasury.
While implementing the new law, the Ministry of Industry is also constantly innovating equipment.
Yu Jiaxuan was re-employed early on and was ordered to build the Flying Tiger Army. The court would meet any request and even used all the new equipment developed by the Ministry of Industry to arm the Flying Tiger Army.
…
Ten years passed by in the blink of an eye.
In the historical slice, players only need to deal with some key links, so time passes quickly.
So much so that when many players are still a little unfinished, the Battle of Uuzhu has arrived.
After the white fog in the field of vision dissipated, the players had arrived neatly at Niuzhuji.
However, only a few of them were dressed as military generals, while the others were still civil servants.
Wearing the robes of a civil servant, he was on a hilltop on this side of Niuzhuji.
From a high position, you can have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield.
Even the emperor Meng Yuan was present.
At this time, Niuzhuji can be said to be very lively. There is the Qi Army camp at the rear, and there is a specially built camp at a high place with fluttering flags and large parasols, which is very comfortable.
The emperor, played by Meng Yuan, was enjoying the cool air under the tent in the camp, eating fruit with Chu Ge, who played Wang Wenchuan, while waiting for the Battle of Niuzhu to begin.
As for the players playing other officials, they were also sitting neatly at this time, preparing for the drama to begin.
As for players playing military generals such as Li Hongyun, Zhao Haiping, and Fan Cun, they are preparing intensively for battle.
The large ships of the Qi Navy were filled with elite soldiers.
Meng Yuan looked at the opponent's Jin soldiers' camp from a distance and found that these demon-possessed Jin soldiers were already moving around, as if they might board a boat to cross the river at any time.
"Just to confirm again, this place will definitely not be hit by the opponent's trebuchet, right?" Meng Yuan asked.
Cui Huowang, who played the role of Minister of Industry, nodded: "Yes, it is definitely beyond the range."
Only then did Meng Yuan sit back down again with relief.
It would be too funny if the entire power center of the Qi Dynasty was wiped out by a Jin soldiers with a trebuchet because they were watching from the outside of Niuzhuji battlefield.
"How come General Yu's Flying Tiger Army hasn't arrived yet? Wen Junshi hasn't arrived either?" Wang Wenchuan, played by Chu Ge, asked.
The player next to him replied: "We just arrived, General Yu is preparing for war."
Chu Ge felt relieved: "Okay, then wait patiently for the war to begin. By the way, bring Wen Junshi and the others over, and we have reserved the best viewing position for them."
Not long after, Wen Junshi and other old party officials were brought up with a look ashen as death.
"Official, if you want me to die, you can just say so. There is no need to tease me like this, and there is no need to put yourself in danger!"
Wen Junshi's face didn't look very good, and his mood was obviously not very good either.
From Wen Junshi's perspective, he was basically not far from death today.
In this historical slice, because two historical figures from different time and space are combined together, the entire time and space becomes confused.
In fact, the Kingdom of Jin had not yet been established when Wen Junshi died, and interestingly, everyone in the Kingdom of Jin, from the emperor to the ministers, admired Wen Junshi very much.
Therefore, Wen Junshi was taken to Niuzhuji and personally observed the battle between the Qi army and the Jin army. This was already a mess of three different periods.
But the distorted historical slice has a strong self-correcting ability and can naturally bridge these fallacies.
Therefore, in Wen Junshi's understanding, he only knew that the Jin Kingdom mobilized 700,000 troops to invade the south, and they reached Niuzhuji with overwhelming momentum.
However, the original garrison generals at Niuzhuji fled away, watching as the Jin soldiers were about to cross the river without any hindrance.
But at this time, the emperor suddenly sent people in advance to "invite" him and all the old parties scattered across the country, saying that they would go to the front line to watch the battle.
Is this to watch a battle or to die?
Although the historical slice did not complete many details, Wen Junshi also had a deep understanding of the Jin people's brutality and powerful combat power in his mind at this time. In his opinion, fighting the Jin soldiers with just the few men he had at this time was simply asking for death.
What's more, the emperor and Wang Wenchuan didn't know what was going on in their heads, but they actually went on a personal expedition?
Even if the imperial commander went on a personal expedition, he actually didn’t bring many people with him. He only brought with him a flying tiger army and some naval forces that he had trained before...
Wenjun's face was ashen, and he only had one thought in his mind: The Qi Dynasty would probably be overthrown today!
Although he had not finished finishing his book, he was forced to die for his country at this time, and was killed by the stupid emperor in disguise, which made him feel sad.
But at this time, other New Party officials who were also in the camp were talking and laughing, as if they were preparing to watch a play, without any pressure at all.
In the past ten years, Wen Junshi has also continuously learned about the new law from various channels.
He questioned the authenticity of these messages countless times, but whether he asked old friends whom he absolutely trusted or personally went to the fields to ask the old farmers who worked hard in the fields, he got the same answer.
The new law was very popular with farmers and did add a lot of wealth to the treasury!
The only ones who suffered were the landlords and scholar-bureaucrats.
Wenjun really couldn't figure out what was going on, let alone why these officials and the emperor took the initiative to come to Niuzhuji to seek death since the Qi Dynasty was prosperous.
"The golden soldiers have crossed the river!"
Someone shouted.
Everyone looked into the distance and saw several large ships of the Jin soldiers already riding the wind and waves towards the other side.
These large ships were obviously filled with gold soldiers. Once they were released on land, the Qi army would hardly be able to fight back.
Wen Junshi looked at the emperor and then at Wang Wenchuan.
Jin Bing's big ship has sailed to the center of the river.
Wen Junshi looked at the emperor and then at Wang Wenchuan.
Jin Bing's ship is about to land.
The reason why Niuzhuji has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times is precisely because the river here is narrow, the water is steep, the mountains are steep, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is like a natural Great Wall along the Yangtze River.
In Wen Junshi's view, the best way to defeat the Jin army was obviously to "attack them halfway across the Yangtze River", taking advantage of the Qi Dynasty's naval advantage to attack the Jin soldiers head-on before they had crossed the Yangtze River.
In this way, even if there are fewer ships that can reach the other side, they will be easily destroyed by the Qi army.
But everyone present, from the emperor to the ministers to the soldiers below, were all indifferent?
Wen Junshi couldn't bear it any longer: "The officials, the treacherous ministers are harming the country! The Jin soldiers are about to cross the Yangtze River, why haven't our navy dispatched yet?"
"Prince Wang, you are well-read in classics and history, don't you understand the principle of attacking him half-crossed in a row?"
Wang Wenchuan smiled slightly: "Yushi Wen, don't be anxious, just watch patiently."
Wenjun sat back down again feeling full of energy.
Soon, the first batch of Jin Bing's large ships were about to dock, but the navy on the Qi Army's side was still watching from a distance, with no intention of stepping forward to intercept them.
The Qi army on the other side of the river started to move.
However, they did not form a phalanx on the shore. Instead, they dragged some unknown objects covered with cloth to the river. They each looked for a suitable location and began to carry wooden boxes one by one.
These cloth-covered objects were lined up, forming a complete array on the shore.
Wen Junshi vaguely guessed these things through the shapes under the fabric, and couldn't help but feel chilled.
Isn't this a thunderbolt?
However, the Thunderbolt Cannon cannot kill the enemy at all. Its main function is to stuff lime into the projectiles. After the ammunition explodes, the lime will spread all over the sky, blocking the enemy's vision.
If it were on the river, the thunder cannons might still be of some use, but at this time, the golden soldiers were about to land on the shore. What's the use of placing a row of thunder cannons on the shore?
Wen Junshi once again lay down to die.
However, as the Jin soldiers' ship gradually approached, these soldiers finally uncovered the cloth on the cannon.
Only then did Wen Junshi realize that the size of these cannons seemed to be much larger than the thunder cannons, and they looked heavy and seemed to be made of cast iron.
Soon, the soldiers around the cannon began to get busy, constantly loading gunpowder into the barrel and stuffing various black spherical shells into it, waiting patiently for orders.
"put!"
The deputy general gave the order, and the soldiers lit the fuses in unison.
A moment later, the earth-shaking sound resounded throughout Niuzhuji!
In the violent explosion, cannonballs flew at extremely fast speeds towards the large ships that the Jin soldiers were gradually approaching. These large ships were floating on the river and were very obvious targets. With the cannons firing in unison, they wanted to hit It’s hard to miss.
Because the distance was relatively long and the muzzle velocity of the shell was relatively fast, Wen Junshi did not actually see the process of the shell flying out of the muzzle.
But he saw sawdust flying around on Jin Bing's big ship. It seemed that something had penetrated it, creating a big hole, and the ship's hull was shaking violently!
Immediately afterwards, the golden soldiers on the ship began to panic and tried to block the breach.
But their efforts were doomed to be in vain, and the breach was quickly filled with water from the river.
Although such a large ship was still struggling hard, it finally failed to reach the shore and sank in the vast river.
The golden soldiers on the boat can only choose to dive, but the golden soldiers are not used to water. Whether they dive or stay on the boat, the final outcome is the same.
Wenjun couldn't help but lean forward and looked a little stunned.
As a literati, he has actually not seen many real battlefields. But I have read a lot of historical materials, and I still understand some basic situations on the battlefield.
But what happened in front of him at this time completely subverted his understanding.
But he had no time to think because the battle was still not over.
While the Jin soldiers' ship was sunk by the Qi army's artillery on the river, the Qi army's navy had also crossed Niuzhuji and crossed to the other side.
"boom!"
After several more cannons were fired in succession, Wen Junshi discovered that there were cannons on the Qi army's ship. After firing a few rounds at the shore, he immediately sent the Jin soldiers fleeing.
Then, the Flying Tiger Army began to disembark from these large ships and log in leisurely.
Seeing this scene, Wen Junshi's heart trembled again.
What is this going to do?
He originally thought that the Qi army was relying on the power of artillery to defend the river. As long as the Jin soldiers' ships could not cross the river, Niuzhuji would naturally be defended.
But now, the Qi army actually took the initiative to land and counterattack?
Don't the emperor and Wang Wenchuan know the combat effectiveness of the Qi army's infantry?
Above the Jin Army's camp, demonic energy surrounded them.
Immediately afterwards, the Jin Army's cavalry troops came out of the military camp!
If it were the Jin Army in real history, after being bombarded by artillery at this time, it is very likely that it would collapse on the spot and run away in fear.
After all, when this kind of artillery first appeared, not only did its lethality increase by a level, it also came with huge smoke and noise. The ancients were probably shocked when they saw it for the first time.
But at this time, the Jin soldiers had been strengthened by demons and had a strong will to fight. Therefore, not only were they not scared off by the cannons, they instead gathered cavalry troops and pounced on the Qi army who landed in return.
Seeing these cavalry troops, the old party officials felt chilled again.
Because this is the iron pagoda and the kidnapping horse that Jin Bing is proud of!
In this twisted slice of history, the old party officials also automatically acquired this knowledge. They knew very well how lethal these two elite cavalry, which the Jin soldiers were proud of, had.
As for the Qi army, they just rashly counter-landed, but actually used a group of pure infantry to disembark?
Everyone seemed to have foreseen the fate of these poor infantrymen.
After all, in their opinion, the infantry of the Qi Dynasty were not absolutely incapable of fighting cavalry, but it was best to wear dozens of kilograms of infantry armor.
Otherwise, as soon as the cavalry charges, the infantry will be crushed immediately, without any ability to fight back.
If it was an ordinary cavalry, they could still fight, but Tiefutu was covered in heavy armor, and ordinary swords were just scratching, so how could they fight?
What's even more desperate is that this group of infantry is still forming a square formation in an orderly manner, marching in a uniform pace, slowly advancing towards the cavalry that is about to charge them.
During the interval of advance, these men had loaded the flintlock guns in their hands with fixed ammunition and were ready to fire.
On the other side, another flying tiger army led by Yu Jiaxuan has also landed.
At this time, he was riding a tall horse, covered with armor, and looked high-spirited.
Behind him was a group of cavalry similar to the Iron Buddha.
The armor technology of the Qi Dynasty has always been very advanced, as evidenced by the Bu Renjia. But Qi Dynasty has always been short of horses.
The cavalry under his command was squeezed out by Chu Ge and other players, selecting the best from the best. It can be said that they emptied the wealth of several armies of the Qi Dynasty to put together such a cavalry team.
For this reason, Yu Jiaxuan practiced day and night, fearing that he would fail His Majesty's high expectations.
As far as he knew, the group of infantrymen who landed on the other side in a neat formation were another general of the Flying Tiger Army who had landed by air for training.
The content of the training was completely confidential, so he didn't know the combat effectiveness of this Flying Tiger Army.
At this time, seeing that they were actually facing the impact of the Iron Buddha as unarmored infantry, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Yu Jiaxuan didn't know that the reason why the players spent so much money to get him such a cavalry was just to see how heroic he was in killing the enemy with the cavalry.
It can also be said that public funds are used to chase stars.
And this secretly trained fusilier unit is the players’ real trump card.
Soon, the Jin Army cavalry, covered in black gas, began to approach!
The Iron Buddha struck in the center, and the heavily armored knights were ready to connect their horses with leather ropes and launch a charge like a copper wall.
The Kaizi Ma had already circled back to the two wings, preparing to cooperate with Tiefu Tu to eat up this seemingly weak infantry unit in one fell swoop.
In the eyes of these golden soldiers, such an infantry is simply meat that is delivered to their door.
There is no heavy armor, no divine arm bow, no spear or horse.
These Qi troops actually just held a strange-shaped thing similar to a spear in their hands, and dared to line up in an orderly queue to deliver it?
Although the Qi Dynasty already had muskets at this time, they were not used on a large scale to fight the Jin soldiers. What's more, there is a gap of several eras between the musket and the flintlock gun, and there is absolutely no similarity in appearance.
Therefore, it is normal that these golden soldiers cannot be recognized.
The steel behemoth weighing almost half a ton was ready to charge. The knights threw off their leather ropes and threw them on other knights. The rumble of horse hooves made the ground tremble.
For these Jin soldiers, it was not particularly strange to lose to the Qi Dynasty on the water, but there was actually an infantry of the Qi army who dared to challenge the Jin people's cavalry on the ground?
This is absolutely intolerable!
They believed that the Iron Buddha would effortlessly crush any Qi army standing in its way, just like every previous battle.
Only this time, the Qi army on the opposite side uniformly raised their flintlock guns.
Pointing towards these iron pagodas are the muzzles of black holes!
