I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In Wuchang, He Tengjiao summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

"The Chinese army is overwhelming, what should you all say?"

When He Tengjiao spoke, there was a bit of depression in his tone.

Originally, he wanted to belong to Dahua.

However, what he asked for was the kind of conditional surrender, that is, Wu Changqing must give him the position of governor of Huguang and allow him to station troops in Hunan and Hubei.

This kind of condition, the people of the Dahua Rites, did not even report to Wu Changqing, and directly rejected it.

Because everyone in the Ministry of Rites knew that Wu Changqing could not agree.

Officers cannot have private soldiers, recruit, train, and distribute military salaries. In Dahua's military system, the officers who are in the main battle have no right to intervene.

In short, Wu Changqing would not allow any officer to have a private army.

Almost all the troops belonged to Wu Changqing, and the other officers acted as a temporary commander.

Even the three elders who followed Wu Changqing to the army did not have private troops, and they were mobilized as soon as their positions were mobilized.

He Tengjiao, a person who wants to belong, still wants to keep his own private army?

Not to mention retaining the army, there is only one governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and no one on Dahua's side will agree.

He Tengjiao was very unaccustomed to Dahua's behavior of refusing even the price.

He thinks, even if Dahua thinks that he is too greedy, at least he has to offer a psychological price to discuss.

Saying nothing and rejecting it directly is really despising.

He Tengjiao is also a hero with an army of more than 100,000 people, and he also has a temper.

So, in a fit of anger, he chose to swear allegiance to Zhu Youlang in the southwest, and moved Zhu Youlang to snot and tears, shouting that the truth is seen in adversity, and the words of Zhongliang in the country in trouble.

Then, He Tengjiao was directly conferred the throne of King of Jingzhou. Official to the Governor of Huguang, in charge of all military and political powers in the two lakes.

It was the same as when Wu Changqing was in charge of Nanzhili.

It's not that Zhu Youlang doesn't want to learn a lesson and prevent He Tengjiao from getting bigger, but he really has no choice.

Being able to win He Tengjiao with a title and let him stand on the front line against Dahua is already a huge advantage.

The treatment given by Zhu Youlang is almost the highest standard treatment that a courtier can enjoy.

Therefore, He Tengjiao gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and chose to agree.

It is better to be a chicken head than an ox tail, this is what He Tengjiao said.

In fact, the main reason is that he has resentment for being despised by Dahua.

Now that Dahua's army came over, he regretted it.

This chicken head is not good at all.

Although he had an army of 150,000, Dahua only had 60,000 troops and 5,000 navy, but He Tengjiao had no confidence at all.

Zhu Yujian relied on the Westerners to create a batch of flintlock guns.

The Qing Dynasty built a batch of flintlock guns by stealing secrets and gathering the strength of the entire north.

As for He Tengjiao, he does not have the geographical location of Zhu Yujian, nor does he have the strength of the Qing Dynasty.

Although he is also stealing the secrets of the flintlock gun and studying the secrets of the flintlock gun, the progress is much slower than that of Da Qing.

So far, his army has only been equipped with a total of 10,000 flintlock guns.

The other 140,000 troops are still all cold weapons, seriously lagging behind the development of the times. These people are really just frightening the common people, and then guarding the city.

Other than that, nothing works.

And Dahua's 60,000 troops have not only fully changed to flintlock guns, but also 20,000 of them have been equipped with Yongxing two-year rifles.

Although He Tengjiao didn't know how powerful this new rifle was, since it was newly developed, it must be more advanced than the flintlock gun.

He Tengjiao was completely backward in terms of weapons. He Tengjiao had no idea how to fight this battle.

"Otherwise, let's surrender."

Wan Dapeng said cautiously.

Anyway, he didn't want to fight the Chinese army.

Even Daqing was not Dahua's opponent, and was driven out of the customs. How could he be able to fight on his own side?

You can't beat it, but you have to drop it.

Moreover, Dahua is also a Han regime, and it will be surrendered, so there is no need to worry about any infamy.

This is why he dared to speak out the words of persuasion directly.

Anyway, in this room, there are many people who want to surrender, not just him.

"Hmph, down, after the down, will you farm for Dahua and pay taxes on time? Or, what official position did Dahua promise you?"

He Tengjiao snorted coldly.

Falling or not falling, is not the point. The question is, what kind of treatment do you enjoy after the drop.

If he had to start as a soldier after he surrendered, then He Tengjiao, who would rather die in battle, would not agree.

"A small person like me would not take the initiative to join Dahua, and I can still think about what official position was promised."

Wan Dapeng laughed at himself.

"So, we don't need to mention the matter of surrender. After all, it is impossible for the other party to give us any benefit. Even, they are unlikely to allow us to surrender. If we surrender, their Lord will be willing to come for nothing. ?

There are things that kill good people and take merit, and the risk of killing prisoners is lower. At the end of the day, whether they will kill the surrendered soldiers and take them back to claim credit, it is not certain. "

He Tengjiao set the tone and made everyone firm in their determination to resist.

If you don't resist, you have to give everything in your hand.

And this is unacceptable to most officers.

"To fight, there are only 60,000 of them. I don't believe that 150,000 of us can't do it."

Liu Tiren, a former Li Zicheng subordinate, said.

He had never fought against Dahua's army, so he always had doubts about Dahua's strength.

It just so happened that when he followed Li Zicheng, he relied on crowd tactics and the elite imperial army to fight. He had a lot of experience in defeating the strong by the weak, so he was confident.

As long as there are more troops than the opponent, there are more tactics that can be used.

"General Liu said that we have no choice but to rely on our strength to prove ourselves and let Dahua know that we are not easy to mess with, so as to force them to sit down and talk."

He Tengjiao once again exposed his thoughts and still wanted to talk. It was somewhat similar to the original Zheng Zhilong.

In the final analysis, it was because Dahua's strength was too strong that they did not have the confidence to fight Dahua to the end.

Therefore, even if he made up his mind to fight Dahua, what he did was to let Dahua recognize his own ability, let Dahua throw his arms around him, and force Dahua to sit down and talk.

Even the main general does not have the will to fight to the death, let alone the people below.

Although at the meeting now, everyone is screaming to make Dahua look good and fight to the death.

However, I am afraid that at that moment, in order to save their lives, they will surrender without hesitation.

Life is gone, what is the use of clinging to power?

After determining the tone of the main battle, they began to study how to fight this battle with Dahua.
