Panjin, the rear of Zhu Cixuan sent troops this time. Here, Zhu Cixuan placed all the food and grass in Panjin and Yingkou.

Nothing else, it is because these two places have the right time, place and people.

First of all, the direction of Zhu Cixuan's army stationed is Liaoyang County, which is close to Shengjing, Chenyang.

At the same time, Hong Chengchou's Liaodong Army defended Jinzhou. Jinzhou stopped the Qing army, so Panjin and Yingkou were absolutely safe.

The army had not moved the food and grass to move forward, and the food and grass to determine the outcome of the battle. Of course, Zhu Cixuan would not not understand this principle, and at the same time, he was absolutely cautious.

Panjin and Yingkou, as the rear of the army's food and supplies, must ensure their absolute safety.

For example, when Kong Xiangxin caused a big disaster this time, Zhu Cixuan did not cut off his head, which was considered a mercy outside the law. However, Zhu Cixuan removed his position as the head general of the Shenji Camp. In the end, he sent Kong Xiangxin to Panjin.

As one of Zhu Cixuan's powerful generals, Kong Xiangxin's combat ability is unquestionable. Moreover, Kong Xiangxin's ability to predict the battlefield is surprisingly powerful. Even Zhu Cixuan is ashamed of this.

Some people are born with war materials. This is also the reason why there are so many war gods in history, just because these people are all generals who have never been born in a century.

Although Kong Xiangxin is not as brilliant as the famous generals in history, his abilities are still outstanding.

This person is like a sharp sword. How could Zhu Cilang easily bury him with such a talent? Although Kong Xiangxin, Liaoyang County, made a big mistake this time, it can be said that he was a serious crime of beheading.

In fact, Zhu Cilang secretly admired him more. Because of the 80,000 Shenji Camp, there were so many generals. No one thought of this like Kong Xiangxin.

Kong Xiangxin discovered something wrong with the Qing army, so he would rather risk his life and attacked the city of Shengjing with courage. Although he had nothing to gain, he was still worthy of appreciation after all.

Especially when you can't guess Dorgon's intention, Kong Xiangxin can at least test the enemy's movements. In other words, Kong Xiangxin did something that Zhu Cilang wanted to do but did not do.

Otherwise, Kong Xiangxin would have been dragged out to his head and chopped off. He would have disobeyed in front of the battle, no matter what the reason you have, he would have to die.

If he didn't kill him, the soldiers would learn. Logically, Zhu Cilang would definitely kill Kong Xiangxin.

But Zhu Cixuan finally let him go, but only lifted the military power of the chief general of Kong Xiangxin. Then, he was sent to Panjin to guard the baggage.

From a general who is fighting on the front line to a commander of a third-rate baggage unit, there will inevitably be a huge gap in his heart.

But Kong Xiangxin did not, and he still went to the post with peace of mind. Moreover, he told people that His Highness the Crown Prince had a light sentence.

However, before leaving, Kong Xiangxin went to Zhu Cilang's camp and was scolded again.

Of course, being scolded is not the purpose, but the need for weapons is the reason.

Faced with Zhu Cilang's angry curse, Kong Xiangxin said nothing, and even dared to have the courage to raise his head and take a secret glance at Zhu Cilang.

"I tell you that your ten heads are not enough for me to cut. Tell me, who gives you the courage to send troops without authorization, you are really okay. Kong Xiangxin, the 80,000 troops will go to war, with so many expectations. The people of the whole world of Ming Dynasty are watching us. I am not allowed to send troops without authorization. You bastard, you really dare to take my words as a warning!"

Faced with Zhu Cilang's angry scolding, Kong Xiangxin said nothing. Anyway, the disaster has been made and he has also taken the blame. Didn't the position of the chief general of the central army be removed? What else do you want?

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Zhu Cilang became more and more angry: "I am asking you! Why don't you talk anymore!"

Kong Xiangxin had no choice but to look aggrieved: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has made a clear understanding, and the last generals have gone to guard the food and grass, what else can I say?"

Zhu Cixuan took this as his other party's mistake and then calmed down a little bit of anger: "Okay, then you bastard are still here to do something for me? Do you want to let me beat you fifty military sticks before leaving? Tell you, I will not be polite to you this time!"

When Kong Xiangxin heard this, he immediately panicked. He knew that the prince was angry and that this was not a joke.

So he had to hurriedly laugh with him: "Your Highness, forgive me, I know my mistake, I know my mistake. But, Your Highness asked me to guard the baggage, and I don't have the guy in my hands."

Zhu Cilang frowned: "Whatever you want to say, say whatever you want and let go of it!"

After all, he is his beloved general. How could Zhu Cilang be willing to abandon him if he is a brave general like Kong Xiangxin?

When Kong Xiangxin saw that the prince's tone was loose, he beat the snake and followed the stick. He said shamelessly: "Your Highness, what kind of soldiers are the ones in Panjin? A group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, how can they fight? The weapons in their hands are all things eliminated from the Shenji Camp before. The general wondered, can your highness distribute thousands of flintlock rifles to the general."

"What, thousands? You can just give you all the muskets from our God Machine Camp!"

Kong Xiangxin had no choice but to laugh with him: "A few thousand are more, so let's do it like this. Your Highness, eight hundred, and the last one is only eight hundred guns."

"Not one!" Zhu Cilang roared.

"Five hundred, five hundred cannot be lowered anymore. Don't forget Your Highness, Panjin's food and grass are related to the three armies. We have to make long-term plans. Jiannu has not moved for a long time, and I don't know when this battle will be fought. Panjin's baggage guards are at the top of the important place, and what can the guy who has no idea of ​​his family's fortunes do."

The firearms in their hands were greatly reduced for the defense of Panjin and the supplies. Although they also had muskets and flints.

However, most of these are the first generation flintlock rifles. These flintlock rifles are slow to load, and their range and accuracy are not satisfactory. However, it is enough to equip third-rate baggage troops.

After all, no one is too stupid to put the supplies that transport food and grass on the forefront of the battlefield and let the enemy attack.

Nowadays, the newly equipped flintlock rifles of Shenji Camp have been improved. The gunpowder is packed with bullets one by one, which undoubtedly greatly improves the shooting efficiency.

In theory, it reaches five rounds per minute. In actual application, it can reach a firing speed of two to three rounds per minute. Because its firing rate is not high, three-stage shooting tactics are popular, which is called the "queuing shooting" tactic.

However, even so, it has been a huge improvement. What Kong Xiangxin wants is the newly improved firearms.

Finally, under his soft and hard blister, Zhu Cixuan promised to give him five hundred improved flintlock rifles.

ps: Happy New Year!
