Nanming Engineer

Chapter 429 Chapter 433
In August, Daizhou line of the Inner Great Wall.

Yanmen Pass.

It was raining heavily, and the black clouds almost touched the wall, and large raindrops fell on the people's heads.

The Eight Banners soldiers of the brigade gathered inside and outside the pass. Under the four-color flag, the Ezhen soldiers led their soldiers to file out of the pass in an orderly manner. The sturdy Sauron camp, the proud Chahar Mongolian soldiers, the strong and addicted Aliha Chaoha's camp was killed, and Gebusixian Chaoha's camp came and went like the wind. Flag soldiers of various flags marched from the official road that was muddy by rain. Even though it was pouring with heavy rain, the queue was still neat and orderly. .

After decades of development, the powerful Jurchen army has become a giant beast.

Every soldier who makes up it is an elite. From the far west land of the horizon to the vast land of the Central Plains, every step forward is accompanied by the tempering of blood and fire.Fighting and death are not a big deal for these men who came out of the mountains and forests. They are like a part of life, and they are always by their side.

It's all about survival, fighting with wild beasts before, now fighting with living people, it's no different, maybe it's easier.

Dorgon sat on the carriage, looking at the armored soldiers through the curtain, the rumbling horseshoes mixed with the crackling raindrops, like a very rhythmic song, beating on his ears, fierce and heroic , as his mood.

He closed his eyes and felt dizzy in his head, so he leaned back on the soft couch behind him and rubbed his temples. After years of fighting and wrestling in the court, he died before he was 40 years old. Suffering from hidden diseases, he often has a premonition that one day, he will die of illness on the bed like his younger brother Doduo.

If he died, what would happen to the Qing Dynasty?

In the dead of night, with only a shadow of a solitary lamp, he will recall the journey he has traveled in his life. When his father Nurhachi was alive, he felt that he was an insurmountable god. He conquered Mongolia in the east, invaded Goryeo in the west, defeated the barbaric Ewenki people, conquered the Xibe people who were good at fighting, made the whole northern aborigines kneel at the feet of Jurchen, and reproduced the heyday of Dajin. Not enough, the talented and generous Nurhachi set his sights on the Ming Dynasty, which is as majestic as a behemoth.

Once upon a time, when his father was still serving as a junior colonel in Li Chengliang's army, he went to Shenyang, Tieling and other places, and also went to Li Chengliang's uncle's house under his father's leadership.

The huge city, the prosperous city and the rich land opened the eyes of Dorgon who came from the valley. The domineering and powerful Li family, the king of Liaodong, also deeply shocked Dorgon's little heart. , he never imagined that the world beyond the mountain is so vast and so extravagant.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the indigenous people fighting around in the ice and snow in the north were as ridiculous as monkeys. Everything was under the control of the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the lives of Jurchens were as insignificant as ants. They should be taken from a pool of blood. The father who stood up and twisted the enemy's head with arrogance could only be as humble as a slave in front of the Li family.

When he left the Ming Kingdom, his father took him to stand on the top of the mountain, looking down at the huge city, gesticulating with both hands, and told him: "One day, everything here will fall into the hands of our Jurchens. Those Ming people, yes! What we have done, we will repay them twice, you remember, this day will definitely come!"

"Use your knife, make it happen!"

This sentence rang in his ears, and he had never forgotten it for decades.

Dorgon patted his thigh and opened his eyes.

The door of the carriage was pulled open, and a familiar figure got in, bringing in the wind and rain.

"Royal father, actually you don't have to go there in person, just sit down in Datong and wait for me to hear the good news." Mandahai said: "You can't sit down in the hall with a rich body, just let the children do it."

Dorgon looked at him and smiled.

For Mandahai, Dorgon liked it very much. The son of Daishan was extremely dazzling among the younger generation of the Qing Dynasty.

"Dai Shan gave birth to a good son. If Yue Tuo was alive, he would not be as good as this brother." Dorgon thought.

He has no son, only gave birth to a daughter. This is something Dorgon regrets. Of course, he is in the prime of his life, and he may have a concubine at some point, but now, Man Dahai is his favorite. and cultivated people.

He patted Man Dahai on the shoulder, and said kindly: "No, it's not that I don't trust you, Man Dahai, I have to go to Shiling Pass, and I can't delay any longer. Shanxi has been in chaos for too long. If the fire is not extinguished, it will ignite the powder kegs under our feet."

Man Dahai blinked his eyes, seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice: "Is the emperor talking about... the matter in Beijing?"

Dorgon looked away and looked out the window. The iron-clad army marched in the rain, as tall and thick as a wall.

"The capital and the south are not at peace. You know, there has been movement on Hauge's side. The king didn't kill him because of Taizong's sake, but the centipede is dead but not stiff. The faction is so For a long time, there are many people who support him, these people dare not say anything publicly, but they are very active in secret."

Dorgon patted his thigh lightly: "Duo Duo is dead, this king is like having an arm cut off, I would have been much more relaxed with him, but unfortunately, he is gone, no one can do it like him." help me."

Man Dahai's face was flushed with shame, "Royal Father, I'll wait..."

Dorgon waved his hand: "It's not your fault, you're still young, and it's time to make progress. In another ten years, you will become like me and Duo Duo, but right now, you are not ready enough."

"Wang Huan at Shiling Pass is actually extremely difficult. Nikan and Boluo are not incompetent people. We all know their abilities. Ordinary Ming generals can't find opponents. Even a hero like Hong Chengchou is in Zhongshan. Between Bo."

"But they lost, and Boluo is still dead, what does that mean?" He knocked on the window frame, the carriage started to move, and moved forward slowly: "It means that this person is not an ordinary person. The one who dealt with the Ming army before It might not work, I won’t see it with my own eyes, don’t worry.”

The rain fell like a curtain, falling on the roof of the car, making a sound like pearls falling on a jade plate, and the sound of the world was drowned in the sound of the rain.

"Firearms are very powerful, otherwise Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong would not have treated the craftsmen and gunners of the Ming Dynasty like treasures. We have also seen that city walls several feet thick can't help but beat like paper under the bombardment of iron bullets. This It’s an advantage. The Ming army now has an advantage, but we don’t, so we have to go and see.”

"Then if Wang Huan is a young warlord as the rumors say, he has to win him over. How will he know if he doesn't try? If he gets this man, no one will make noise when I am in the court. No matter how many troops you have Ma, when the firearm hit him, everyone shut up, this is the advantage."

"If you want to recruit this person, it is not enough for you to go. I have to go in person to show my sincerity. If Hong Chengchou hadn't been untied by Emperor Taizong himself, I am afraid he would not have worked for us wholeheartedly. This is human nature and the heart of the people. , you learn."

"However, if you want to attract people, it won't work if you don't drive him into a desperate situation. You have to beat him once, make him desperate, and have nowhere to go before he agrees to surrender. He is not afraid of death, and warriors are not afraid of death. However, despair can make a warrior Yield, do you know what despair is?"

Dorgon looked into Man Dahai's eyes, the frightening coldness in his eyes made Man Dahai move unconsciously.

"Uh….."

"Desperation means crushing, crushing with absolute strength, making the opponent feel no hope of winning, playing all the cards, and not seeing a glimmer of hope, that is crushing." Dorgon opened his arms, and then Together fiercely: "Our army is going to crush!"
