Chapter 270 Assigning tasks
Zhang Sun Wuji thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Your Highness, I have a clear idea in my mind. Those Han people have been oppressed by the Tartars for a long time, and their hearts must be full of resentment.
As long as we give them hope and support, they will respond positively and work for us.”
Fang Xuanling also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great. With the help of these Han people, our rear cleanup work can proceed smoothly. But Your Highness had better leave at least a hundred people to assist us in the preliminary work."
Li Chengqian nodded: "Of course!"
He glanced at everyone, his expression solemn: "For this operation, we must work together, for the peace of China, at all costs."
Everyone nodded, their eyes full of determination and fighting spirit.
“Okay, the three of you go down and prepare the equipment. The one thousand men going out on this expedition must be veterans with experience in time travel.
Although ten days is a long time, the mission is very important and everyone must be an elite. "
Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and Hou Junji and gave orders.
The three of them bowed and stepped back to prepare.
The others sat down and continued to discuss the details. They carefully analyzed the possible situations they might encounter and formulated detailed combat plans and rear-clearing plans.
Li Chengqian said: "The landing place this time is Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty. When Li Zicheng attacked the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the main force of the Tartars was in the Shanhaiguan area.
This is our chance. We must take Shengjing in one fell swoop while the main force of the Tartars is away, and then expand to the surrounding areas with Shengjing as the center, slaughtering the Tartars while gathering the Han people.
Although we have 1000 people, we will be very weak if we are scattered, so our primary goal is to gather the young and strong Han people and encourage them to rise up in resistance."
At this point, Li Chengqian looked at Zhangsun Wuji and said, "Uncle, this is the responsibility of you, Lord Fang, and Lord Chu Suiliang. The task is heavy. I hope you can do your best to mobilize and inspire as many Han people as possible."
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Don't worry, Your Highness, remember to complete the mission!"
Their voices were firm and powerful, demonstrating a strong sense of responsibility.
Everyone knew that this operation was of great importance and they had to work closely together and leverage their respective strengths in order to destroy the Qing Dynasty within ten days.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Jing, Pei Xingjian, Cheng Yaojin and others again.
"Your mission is to lead a group of soldiers each and search for the Tartars scattered around Shengjing or even in the northern Baishan and Heishui regions. Kill every one you find and show no mercy!"
His eyes revealed coldness and determination.
At this time, Li Jing asked: "Your Highness, I think I should stay with Your Majesty and Your Highness."
Li Chengqian asked with great interest: "Can you guess what I am going to do?"
Li Jing laughed: "Ten days is enough. Given your character, you will definitely go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to meet Emperor Chongzhen."
Emperor Chongzhen!
Everyone was shocked! They had all read history books for the first time. They might not recognize all the other emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but they read the story of this king who lost his country very seriously.
Emperor Li Shimin, in particular, was most concerned about the kings who had lost their country in various dynasties, and he wanted to learn lessons from history books.
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "I would also like to see Emperor Chongzhen.
Although this man was diligent, he was unable to save the Ming Dynasty from decline. The reasons behind this are worth pondering. "
Everyone fell into deep thought, and they understood the meaning of Li Shimin's words.
The rise and fall of a country depends not only on the diligence of the emperor, but also involves many aspects such as internal affairs, economy, and military.
This time they went to the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, they not only had to complete the task of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, but also had to draw lessons from this period of history and provide reference for the future development of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian nodded: "In that case, Lord Li, please accompany me and my father to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to meet this controversial king who lost his country."
After the mission was issued, everyone took action and prepared for the journey separately.
Everyone is fully aware of the significance of this action and dares not slack off in the slightest.
They were busy preparing various equipment and supplies to ensure that they could quickly engage in battle after crossing.
Three hours later, a shocking scene appeared in the square outside the East Palace.
A thousand fully armed cavalrymen were lined up in neat rows, like an indestructible Great Wall of Steel.
Each cavalryman was wearing heavy armor, shining with metallic luster, as if telling of their perseverance and bravery.
Thick lined clothing not only provides warmth, but also reduces impact to a certain extent.
Their war horses are tall and strong, and each person is equipped with five horses to ensure that they can change mounts at any time during long-distance raids and fierce battles to maintain strong mobility.
War horses are also covered in special armor to provide them with protection in battle.
Because the Tatars are also famous for their heavily armored cavalry.
Although the Tatars are not pure heavy armored cavalry, but only half-armored, their impact and defense capabilities cannot be underestimated.
On the battlefield, the Tatars' heavily armored cavalry often charged like a torrent of steel, bringing tremendous pressure to the enemy.
Li Chengqian knew this very well, so he required everyone in his group to wear heavy armor.
This choice of equipment is not without reason. Heavy armor can better defend against the Tatars' bows and arrows.
The Tatars were not only good at charging, but also good at riding and shooting. They drew their bows and arrows on horseback, and the rain of arrows attacked like locusts. Without the protection of sturdy heavy armor, they could easily suffer heavy damage.
In the upcoming battle, they will be able to rely on this sturdy equipment to crush the Tatar heavy cavalry's head-on charge.
In addition to cavalry, the Tatars' infantry combat capabilities should not be underestimated.
They also excelled in infantry combat, and were even equipped with muskets and redcoat cannons.
In that era, such equipment configuration was considered first-class in the world.
Although the matchlock cannot compare with the flintlock in terms of firing rate and accuracy, it also has great lethality.
The Tatar soldiers were skilled in the use of matchlock muskets and were able to inflict effective damage to the enemy at a certain distance.
The red cannon is even more powerful. Its huge roar and powerful destructive power can often deter the enemy on the battlefield.
Not only that, the Tatar army's fighting will is also extremely tenacious.
They are not afraid of life and death on the battlefield, charge forward bravely, and have a strong desire to fight and an indomitable spirit.
This tenacious fighting spirit enabled them to never retreat when facing strong enemies, which brought great pressure to the enemy.
Therefore, even though these thousand people are physically strong, they still have to be extremely cautious when facing the Tartars!
