"Grand Marshal, what is the name of your cannon?”
Wang Tianhao looked at the powerful cannon beside him and asked in surprise.
His question stunned Yang Jing.
What was the name of this cannon?
Armstrong Cannon?
No, this name was too hard to pronounce.
Besides, why should we give our Han things a foreign name?
He thought for a moment, then looked at the cannon and smiled."Sky Piercing Cannon."
"Good name!"
As soon as Yang Jing said that, Wang Tianhao praised him.
"This name perfectly reflects the strength of your mighty cannon. It's really wonderful!”
Yang Jing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. This Wang Tianhao's bootlicking was really loud.
It seemed that he hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming here.
Forget it.
Since she was in a good mood now, she would let him be.
Yang Jing patted Wang Tianhao's shoulder and asked the obvious.
"Lord Wang, why did you come here in a hurry to find me?”
Wang Tianhao rubbed his nose and laughed dryly." Grand Marshal, I would like to ask you to change my military position.”
"Then sorting out documents and political affairs are all the work of scholars.”
"How can a boorish old man like me do this?”
"Don't you think so?"
Yang Jing nodded in agreement.
What Wang Tianhao said made sense. Although he was a little crafty, he was very clear about right and wrong. Moreover, this person was indeed good at using troops. It was a waste of talent to give him a civilian position.
However, Yang Jing was still a little worried that he would be given an important position in the army.
In the end, this person's temperament still needed to be polished.
He pondered for a moment and had an idea.
"How about this, I see that you are very interested in this cannon.”
"Why don't you stay in the artillery battalion and start from a hundred households? When you go to the battlefield and make a contribution in the future, I'll give you the position of commander.”
"What do you think?"
Wang Tianhao was stunned.
He had been demoted from the Great Ming Commander to a small hundred households in the Artillery Battalion. This huge difference was indeed difficult for him to accept.
There were so many Ming brothers in the military camp who had been under him before. It was indeed a little embarrassing for him, a former commander, to be a centurion.
However, on second thought, the Artillery Battalion was trained by Yang Jing. There would not be any Ming army here, so he would not lose too much face.
Moreover, firearms and cannons had always been something he wanted to come into contact with. Now that Yang Jing had seen through his preferences and specially given him the grace of allowing him to work in the artillery battalion, it was already his greatest honor.
Moreover, Yang Jing had promised that as long as he made a contribution, he would be given the position of commander of the First Guard.
It was a chaotic time now, wars were going on everywhere, and cannons were in hand. Isn't it easy to gain military merits?
Thinking of this, Wang Tianhao no longer hesitated. He readily agreed to Yang Jing's appointment and gave a solemn military salute to thank Yang Jing.
After settling Wang Tianhao's matter, Yang Jing returned to the Hui Prefecture.
He had just sat down in the hall of the yamen when Li Yun rushed in.
"Grand Marshal, there's an urgent military report!"
"The Wuyuan County Guard reported that a group of thieves appeared in the villages around the county.”
"That group of thieves is very strong and fierce. They only commit crimes in the dead of night.”
"After they infiltrated the villages, they committed all kinds of crimes. In just one night, ten villages around Wuyuan County were disturbed one after another, and countless people were killed and injured.”
"The guards stationed in Wuyuan County received the news and quickly went to clear the area.”
"But that group of thieves clearly came prepared. They hurriedly retreated after seeing the Jing family's army.”
"The Jing family army chased for more than ten li before they caught some bandits.”
Hearing this, Yang Jing was a little angry. Wuyuan County was his original base camp, and he was filled with feelings for every grass and tree there.
He frowned and asked,"Who are those thieves? Have you interrogated them?"”
Li Yun's expression was very ugly." Reporting to the Grand Marshal, those thieves are the Manchu Tartars.”
Tartars?
Yang Jing's expression changed.
The Manchu Tartars actually came to his base camp to behave atrociously!
He was clearly provoking him by running to the head of the lion and stirring up trouble!
However, the Manchu Tartars were now entrenched in the western part of the Ming Dynasty. Although they had entered the pass many times, they had only invaded the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.
Why did he suddenly appear in the south?
Moreover, the Hui Prefecture was located inland and not by the sea. How did they get here?!
Could it be…!
After thinking for a moment, Yang Jing had a bold guess in his heart.
"Did the Tartars come from Zhejiang Province?”
Li Yun nodded solemnly.
"That's right."
"After multiple interrogations, the Wuyuan County Guards learned that it was the Zhejiang Province's Jinxiang Guards who opened the passage for them.”
"This group of Tartars has about a thousand people. They disembarked from the Jinxiang Guard Port and were sent here by the Ming army from Wenzhou Prefecture, Chuzhou Prefecture, and Quzhou Prefecture.”
Yang Jing finally understood.
This was the Donglin Party from the Ying Tian Prefecture making a move.
Their actions were to tell Yang Jing that they had already allied with Manchurian Qing Dynasty's Dorgon.
The invasion of Wuyuan County by the Tartars was a warning.
If Yang Jing dared to go up again, it would probably not be as simple as harassment.
At that time, they would probably open up the port and allow tens of thousands of the Qing Eight Banners Army to enter the country to take back the Hui Prefecture that was already in Yang Jing's hands.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing could not help but slam the table and shout," This is too much!”
I didn't attack the Tartars, but the Tartars came to me!
Since that was the case, there was no need to be polite!
At this moment, a familiar system notification sounded in Yang Jing's mind.
"Detected that the host's anger has risen to 1,000.”
"Congratulations to the host for triggering the mission reward!”
Yang Jing was delighted when he heard that. The mission reward came at the right time!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining five million taels of gold!”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Zheng He's Treasure Ship, Zheng He's Treasure Ship Blueprint, Fu Ship Blueprint, and shipbuilding technology!”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10,000 soldiers in the navy and Liu Rengui, the famous naval general of the Tang Dynasty!”
