Gao Hongtu was also shocked by these two numbers.

After all, he was a little conscientious, otherwise he would not have gone on a hunger strike to die in the end. Although this time he actually came to plead for the officials and gentry in the north, he was still shocked by the shamelessness of these guys.

At least you have to have some shame!

You are so shameless that we can't make any mistakes now!

By the way, he now understands why the emperor's temperament has changed a lot. No one can stand such stimulation. 200,000 taels and 70 million taels. If you think about your relatives who died in such a comparison, even he feels that he has the urge to kill the civil and military ministers in Beijing as fast as possible. Being so shameless is indeed in vain to read the books of sages. This is purely a sin that cannot be survived, especially after Li Zicheng escaped from Beijing, they would rather welcome the Tartars than to welcome the emperor's evil deeds again. At this time, Gao Shangshu also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

This place cannot be washed!

"Gaoqing, you are a loyal minister. I can trust you. I can also tell you clearly that I will not forgive anyone who has betrayed me again, and I will not give any chance to those who are loyal to me again. I will not be stingy with any rewards to those who are loyal to me, but I will never let those who have betrayed me. I want everyone in the world to understand that loyalty is loyalty, and traitor is traitor. If you want to be a loyal minister, don't be a traitor. Since you are a traitor, you are not qualified to be a loyal minister again!"

Yang Feng said viciously.

In this way, the last illusion of the northern gentry about His Majesty the Emperor was completely shattered, and there was no room for recovery. The two sides could be said to have officially broken.

As for the gentry in Jiangnan...

They also have no way out.

Could it be that they could still surrender to the only wise lord at this time? They were not unable to do such a thing, but even if they thought, they couldn't reach it. There was a Li Zicheng in the middle! Besides, it was useless to surrender. Even if they surrendered to Dorgon, the latter would not be able to attack Li Zicheng to rescue them, because in that case the emperor would continue to stab Dorgon in the back. In short, their only choice at this time was to guard the Yangtze River. As long as Li Zicheng crossed the Yangtze River, the emperor would always find excuses to deal with them. They were not fools. The emperor's performance in the north was obviously to calculate the general account of these years with them, but he left them a little room, and this room was that they had to guard the Yangtze River.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Yang Feng.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming.

He should do it too.

Ningyuan.

"Open fire!"

With the roar of an officer, twelve nine-pound bronze cannons roared at the same time. In the flames sprayed from the muzzle, twelve shells roared across the sky, hitting countless scarecrows in the distance with paper Eight Banners costumes. The heavy shells carried powerful kinetic energy, like violent beasts, instantly bursting out a series of debris. Obviously, if it were a real person, it would be a channel of flesh and blood accumulation.

"Good, good training!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

"It's the things taught by Your Majesty!"

Wang Chengen said hurriedly.

He was almost always stationed in Ningyuan and was responsible for the training of the bandit army. The training content was compiled by the emperor. Of course, it still took great efforts to turn things on paper into reality. Lao Wang has been working hard for more than half a year. In fact, he, who is a few years younger than Chongzhen, had white hair on his head. After more than half a year of training, it was time to test the results.

"Order the infantry to come forward!"

Yang Feng said.

The huge war drum behind him immediately rang, and a flag bearer waved the flag in his hand.

"go ahead!"

"go ahead!"

...

In front of the high ground at his feet, the officers' shouts sounded one after another in the empty wilderness. In a small horizontal formation composed of three rows of infantry, the soldiers carrying bayonets with bayonets immediately stepped forward under the leadership of the officers, flag bearers and trumpeters. After a long period of rigorous training, especially the emperor's repeated alternative assessments, there was absolutely no problem in the queue, and even similar to the lobster soldiers in the movie.

In fact, because of their scarlet military uniforms, they are indeed similar to the lobster soldiers in the movie.

"stop!"

Soon the officers' roars rang out again.

These officers are not appointed, but are chosen by the soldiers themselves. This is an army completely built from the blank space. Where can I find officers? So I simply let the soldiers choose themselves. Anyway, I have to take them to the battlefield to fight desperately. They can choose whoever they can trust. There are no brigade-level officers, and Yang Feng himself serves as the commander, but all the officers at the battalion level and below are chosen by soldiers themselves.

But these officers were not final appointed.

Whether they can truly obtain the position they are currently in, and all the benefits brought by this position depends on their future actual performance.

With the roars of these officers, the advance soldiers quickly stood up in the formation of infantry, and then began to raise the bandit guns to the officers' roars, pointing the muzzle at the scarecrows almost eighty meters away. When the order to open fire was issued, everyone pulled the trigger almost at the same time. The smoke from the black gunpowder sprayed formed a spectacular cloud in front of their formation. The dense flames in the clouds shone. Looking at this scene, Yang Feng felt like a little Nana on the battlefield.

The first round of shooting ends.

The soldiers quickly began to load ammunition.

At the same time, a large number of Jinyiwei, who were in charge of statistics, stepped forward and quickly counted the number of shots in the scarecrow.

"Your Majesty, a total of 1,000 scarecrows were destroyed by artillery shells, all of which were counted as being killed and seriously injured. The first battalion's four infantry posts and eight hundred bandit guns fired in a round of volleys, a total of 770 bandit guns shot out bullets, and the remaining scarecrows were hit by 85 bullets, of which thirty were killed and moved away. Twenty-eight were removed from the deadly places but could not fight. The remaining ones could still maintain the battle."

Liang Cheng reported soon.

"The hit rate is still slightly lower!"

Yang Feng said.

"Your Majesty, some soldiers have just fired the bandit guns, and the training time is still short."

Wang Chengen said carefully.

"Continue to move forward! Shoot ten feet apart, continue shooting for two minutes. All scarecrows must hit them all, otherwise all soldiers will not eat their meal today."

Yang Feng said.

The flag beside him waved again.

The soldiers of the First Battalion who were inspected immediately continued to move forward and soon arrived more than 30 meters away from the Scarecrow. With the officer's order, they began to repeat the action of loading ammunition aiming and pulling the trigger as quickly as possible.

In two minutes, all the soldiers tried their best to speed up. As the dense gunshots continued to sound, amid the fire and smoke from the muzzle, bullets kept flying towards the remaining more than 800 scarecrows. The soldiers almost turned into machines, and the results of countless daily trainings were displayed here. In the whole two minutes, the gunshots never stopped.

Two minutes passed quickly.

"Your Majesty, all the remaining scarecrows were shot. Among them, 351 were injured at the fatal point, not fatal point, but 232 who lost combat ability, the remaining were minor injuries that could still maintain combat ability. However, this would not happen on the battlefield. I guess even with the fierceness of the Tartars, I would not be able to last these two minutes."

Liang Cheng reported soon.

"But our soldiers on the battlefield would not be so calm. They would be afraid and panic and then hit the bullets into the sky. They would even shoot out the whole strip as bullets. You check the guns of the soldiers to see if there are any bullets stuffed in it."

Yang Feng said.

"Well?"

Liang Cheng was stunned for a moment, quickly led his men to check, and then quickly ran back with five bandit guns in his arms with a speechless look on his face.

"Your Majesty, there are five of them in total, at most one of them is filled with seven bullets. He didn't shoot out the first bullet, and he didn't know it yet, and then he kept stuffing it inside."

He said.

"Pull these five aside, each one whip and have a long memory. You can check the remaining bullets of the soldiers and count the number of bullets they fired."

Yang Feng said.

Soon, amid the screams of the five unlucky soldiers, Liang Du Commander completed the statistics.

"Your Majesty, all the soldiers fired a total of 4,812 bullets, the least of which four were shot, and the most of which were shot eight. There were twelve other bandit guns that could not be fired due to damage. Seven of them should be due to poor maintenance of soldiers, resulting in rust of parts, and the other five were manufacturing problems."

He said.

"How many of them fired eight bullets?"

Yang Feng asked.

“Twenty-one!”

Liang Cheng said.

"Each person is rewarded with ten taels of silver. Those who only shoot four bullets should not eat today. As for those who cause damage to the bandit gun due to poor maintenance of weapons, one person whips one whip, and their mate commanders will all be whipped. In the future, this matter will be decided as a system. The troop whip commanders will check the soldiers' weapons from time to time. If they find that the maintenance is poor, the mate commander and the soldiers will all be whipped. As for those who make problems, they will be sent to the Ministry of Works to Shangshu Song. The reasons are found and the numbers on the parts are found. All the workers from parts manufacturers to assemblers to quality inspectors are deducted for one month's wages."

Yang Feng said.

In fact, all of this is inevitable, whether it is the soldiers' hit rate or the gun failure rate, it is within an acceptable range, which means that the army is at least in training, and the rest is not something that can be solved by training. They need to actually go to the battlefield to see the blood.

As for the target, Yang Feng has already chosen it.

Just as Liang Cheng and Wang Chengen were busy rewarding and punishing the soldiers, the naval fleet led by Zhang Mingzhen, the general of the First Town of the Imperial Navy, had already arrived at Juehua Island. Next, these warships would be loaded with bandits and brigades to start their first expedition.

Target……
