Nanming Engineer

Chapter 426 Dangerous situation
"This gunpowder is so overbearing, can our craftsmen make it?" Dorgon asked, looking at the black powder on the paper bag.

Azig shook his head: "The artillery craftsmen in the army have seen it. They don't have the formula and don't know the ingredients. It is difficult to make it. I divided it up and sent it to Shenyang. There are many capable people there, and it is very likely to figure it out. Some."

"Southern people take firearms first, and skilled craftsmen fiddled with them many years ago. It is inevitable to have this kind of craftsmanship. However, we can build cannons bigger than Ming court in just over ten years only by relying on the thousands of people brought by Kong Youde. There is also a sharp red-clothed cannon, which shows that there is no priority in this method, only the depth of the way, let the craftsmen in Shenyang devote themselves to it, and reward those who discover it! It must be given to the king within a month. Bring out the same gunpowder!" Dorgon said decisively with a wave of his hand.He is an extremely lonely and superior person, and there are more than ten million things on his mind. He is just a kind of gunpowder, and his gains are gratifying, but his losses are meaningless. It is already very important to ask a few questions.

Azig agreed and agreed.

"Sharp firearms do not mean that you will win the battle. Think about how many cannons the Ming army lost to my Jurchens in Liaodong back then." Dorgon sat upright, with his head lowered slightly Azig is a lot taller, and he looks invincible in the campfires on all sides. When he speaks, he is full of air, and his voice spreads far away. Fighting each other is not done by the winner, although the Shiling Guanming Army defeated Nikan, it can only be said that Nikan and Boluo are incompetent, and it doesn't mean anything."

"Taizu raised an army, with no more than a thousand soldiers and less than ten thousand people. What did he rely on to conquer such a large country in the bitter cold land? It is the courage of our Jianzhou Jurchen who is not afraid of life and death, and is not afraid of powerful enemies! When we are in battle, everyone Going forward, there is death but no life, in order to survive, one after another, unite as one, everyone is an enemy of ten or a hundred, gather together as a wall, advance and never retreat, we can get to where we are today, the defeat of Nikan seems to be a defeat In terms of firearms, he actually failed because of his own arrogance and arrogance, and lost the way of formations. This is the reason!"

The dry wood in the fire was burning, and there was a crackling sound, and occasionally a small spark burst out, which exploded on the flames and died out immediately.

Azig and the others listened carefully, their faces flushed in the firelight, it was unknown whether it was from shame or from the fire.

"All the people brought back by Nikan were sent back to Beijing. They lost their hearts, and it was useless to stay here. They should have all been killed, but this is the time to employ people. Let them live and make meritorious deeds."

The last sentence decided the life and death of these people. After saying this sentence, Dorgon clapped his hands: "All go, the princes stay here."

Everyone stood up, bowed to Dorgon, then bowed their bodies and walked backward a few steps before turning around and leaving. Many people walked out of the circle of guards, only to realize that they were sweating profusely. It was as long as several hours.

There were fewer people, and the air seemed to be clearer. Azig took a few deep breaths, looked around, and said to Azig in a deep voice: "My lord is merciful, so let them live."

However, Dorgon exhaled foul air from his nostrils, leaned back, changed into a comfortable posture, and snorted coldly: "You are wrong, because of my king's temper, I will fight you on the spot today." Kill Nikan, none of the people he brought back will survive, such a big defeat, will we leave them to mess with our military law?"

Cold sweat broke out on Azig's body again. He was the master general here, and he had a hand in the defeat of Shiling Pass. Due to the death of Duoduo, undercurrents surged in the court. Dorgon was wielding the butcher knife wantonly. Although he himself He is Dorgon's younger brother, but there are also many actions in the dark, which are inevitably somewhat unclean. If Dorgon makes use of the topic, the consequences will be hard to say.

His eyes changed, and he said hesitantly: "Then... why did Brother Wang let these people go?"

"You think I'm willing? Didn't you force it?" Dorgon's tone became severe, and he gave Azig a hard look, which made Azige's neck chill: "The chaos in Shanxi is getting worse and it's out of control. Now a prince is actually killed in battle. How many territories have I conquered in the Qing Dynasty? When did the prince die in battle? Even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was killed by us. Now it is our royal family who died, and the people of the world fell In the ear, what does it represent? Have you thought about it?"

Sitting on both sides at the moment are Prince Chengze Shuosei, Man Dahai who inherited the title of Prince Dai Shanli, King Wakeda of Duoluo County, plus Azig and Dorgon. Basically, the Qing court is still alive and The few people who can fight the most are here, and Man Dahai and Wakda still have the title of General Zhengxi.

With a noble status, he naturally knows more about the inside story, and his mind is extremely flexible. Everyone understands the meaning of Dorgon's words.

"The Han people have been mobilized by the movement here. Shandong, Henan, and Zhejiang, these places that were originally stable, have begun to become chaotic. Rebels are everywhere, killing county magistrates and magistrates, refusing to pay food and taxes, and gathering people to fight Disaster, threatened to restore the country and wipe out the Qing Dynasty, even many Han generals who surrendered us are ready to move. This king did not bring many Han troops with him when he came to the West this time, just because some of them were unstable and stabbed us from the inside Knives, you'll be in big trouble."

Prince Man Dahai is not very old, less than 30 years old, brave and good at fighting, with a violent and rude temper, he couldn't help but let out some hostility, and said in a rough voice: "I said a long time ago that those Han dogs are not trustworthy, so kill them if you can!" If you kill all the troublemakers, you will be fine. The Han people are extremely cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death. If you kill a group, you will be afraid of the rest. When the time comes..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dorgon glanced over him coldly, his eyes were piercingly cold, making Man Dahai tremble all over, and the unfinished words stuck in his throat.

"Kill? Can you kill them all? Kill them all, who will be our slaves? We Jurchens have killed so many people just to get a bare world? Man Dahai, you throw all your father's teachings into the cesspit Did you go there?" Dorgon gave him a slap in the face, hitting Man Dahai with his head down, and he didn't dare to look at him.

Dorgon took a deep breath, retracted his hateful eyes, and said: "I have ordered the Eight Banners soldiers from all over the country to return to help Beijing. When I come this time, the only ones left in Beijing are Tan Tai and He Luo, who hurried back from 2000 miles away. There are two people in the meeting, but they only have [-] flag soldiers. Once the Han army rebels, they will not be able to defend the outer city."

The four of them were startled, their expressions changed drastically, and they glanced at each other.

Dorgon smiled, looked at the faces of the four people, and said: "However, the tens of thousands of troops of Jierhalang and Luck Dehun have returned from Huguang for many days, and they have already passed Weihui Mansion. You can reach Beizhili, and the defense forces in Beijing will be sufficient to resist all rebellious parties, so there is no need to panic."

After hearing this, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief. Beijing is the main route back to the north. If there is a loss, tens of thousands of Manchurians will be trapped in Shanhaiguan and cannot escape, and they will be trapped in the vast ocean of the Han family and cannot extricate themselves.

"So the chaos in Shanxi must be resolved as soon as possible. This place has shaken the foundation of my Qing Dynasty. No matter how much it costs, no matter who it is, as long as they block our way, they will die!" Dorgon made a single-handed gesture. The movement of chopping down: "Now every bannerman is precious. The Han people are unreliable, and the Mongols are also half-hearted. Only we are reliable. Therefore, I will not kill the defeated soldiers or Nikan, and save their lives. , use it in the right place."

The four of them nodded, their faces solemn, Azig thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "But in this way, the troops remaining in the south of the Yellow River are all Han troops, and their strength is too weak. Once Hong Chengchou can't suppress him, will he Will there be new troubles?"

"In a short period of time, there will be no big changes. Hong Chengchou has betrayed the Ming court. There is no other way but to die with us. The Ming court will not spare him. If he wants to survive, he can only die."

"In other places, although villains will turn against each other repeatedly, they will not shake the foundation. When Jierhalang and the Eight Banners soldiers from Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Fujian returned to the division, they beat the Ming army to pieces and were terrified. Incapable of counter-offensive, not to mention that Li Shuitai was in Fujian, Kong Youde was in Guangxi, Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi were in Huguang, Wu Sangui was in Henan in Tongguan, Hong Chengchou was in Nanjing to control the overall situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are still many Han troops loyal to us in various places. The situation can still be controlled, only Shanxi is the source of the chaos, as long as this place is destroyed, the rebels everywhere can be easily solved."

"But what about the Ming court? Will they take the opportunity to start an incident? Li Chengdong still has some elite soldiers on hand."

"Hahaha, you don't know yet. Li Chengdong raised [-] troops to rescue Jiangxi. In Xinfeng, he was attacked and destroyed by Liu Wuyuanqi, the governor of Nangan. Who else can Ting fight?"

Dorgon laughed loudly, and when he mentioned this joy, he let go of his gloom and showed off his face boldly, Azig and others also laughed loudly and laughed wildly.

Amidst the laughter, the night was filled, and the black sky covered the earth. Invisibly, there seemed to be a giant palm that descended from the sky, pinched the vast earth in his hand, shook it casually, and then dropped it, turning it into ruins.
