Zilharang is secretly learning the technology of the northwest to make muskets, and this Wang Shuo knows it.To develop the economy, a large amount of steel is needed in the base areas, and it is impossible to increase the output of steel production without privatization.However, the key technology is still retained in the military industrial base, and even the steel bought by Zilharang is not used to make muskets, but is only suitable for steel support for cement buildings, or for hoes and ploughshares.Zilharang didn't have any machinery and equipment, Wang Shuo didn't worry about how many muskets he could make, let alone cannons, without seamless tube manufacturing technology, without firing primer devices, he couldn't build them if he could die.Besides, it was impossible for him to give him enough time to study this, and before he could understand it, Wang Shuo would go to Beijing.After all, Zilharang is an ancient man, and he will not have Wang Shuo's modern technology and management knowledge in his mind anyway, he only thinks about dragging it out one day at a time.But you don't want to think about it, people are directly the modern development model, directly moving towards industrialization, you are still a small-scale peasant economy with no brains, self-sufficient, the longer it drags on, the more you will be backward, the more you can work hard to make muskets, maybe people can make semi-automatic rifles and machine guns, your muskets are still backward.There is Wang Shuo over there, he knows everything in the future, as long as the conditions are right, he will definitely make more advanced things.With the knowledge of the ancient people of Jilharang, no matter how smart he was, he would never think of this, and he couldn't fight Wang Shuo.At this moment, Zilharang didn't think about those places at all, he was looking at the loopholes in the Northwest Army.People have telegraph machines, all units issue orders through telegraphs, there are former enemy command headquarters, and there are rear decision-making headquarters, Song Xiance got a large group of staff officers, circling around the map all day long, how can it be so easy for you to find loopholes The result is that after the Northwest Army crossed the Yellow River, all group armies marched in unison, relying on advanced weapons, and launched attacks at the same time, so that all defense lines of the Qing army were under pressure at the same time, and there was no flaw at all.Zilharang wondered, if it was time to cross the river, Wang Shuo set the time and everyone started together, which made sense.However, after crossing the river, the terrain was different in different places, and the degree of defensive solidity was also different, and some of the Northwest Army had already broken through the defense line quickly, but suddenly stopped attacking and were stationed in place.They did not rush forward, but waited for the breakthrough of the troops in the other direction, and only then did they act in unison and attack the next line of defense.Anyway, the weapons are advanced, and I am not afraid of the Qing army's counterattack, so it is like hunting, encircle the Qing army together, and then completely destroy it.This is a matter that the Standing Committee for Decision-making has repeatedly explained, and no corps commander is allowed to go against it, and he must wait for the telegram from the front to take unified action.How did Jierharang know that Wang Shuo had such advanced plays, hundreds of miles, thousands of miles could immediately contact each other and communicate, and he couldn't think of this if he wanted to break his head.He only looked at the towns occupied by the Northwest Army and was worried.None of the troops rushed forward, they all marched in unison, supporting each other, slowly forming a semicircle around Zhending, and gradually closing towards him.If you continue to fight like this, it will not be appropriate for him to hit people anywhere, and the troops around them are not far away, and they will immediately rush over to encircle and annihilate you.There was really no chance to start, and there was nowhere to go, so he was trapped alive in the real house leak and even rainy, he was at a loss in the south, and there was no way to see the Northwest Army advancing forward, and there was an accident in the north.Zheng Chenggong gathered all his warships and transport ships, carried 200,000 cavalry troops reorganized from Jiangnan, and landed in Tianjinwei.Tianjin Admiral Luo Yangxing, did not fire a shot, surrendered directly, and Zheng Chenggong joined forces, towards Beijing to kill Tianjin to Beijing, less than 300 miles, the cavalry is in the blink of an eye, you say this Luo Yangxing, looking loyal and honest, not a word to say a word, how can he be so lacking in virtue At the beginning, Dolgon was favored to him, personally awarded the post of Tianjin Admiral, and was crowned the prince Shaobao.Even if you shoot two shots at Zheng Chenggong, put two shots and then surrender, you can be regarded as worthy of the Qing Dynasty's cultivation of your cultivator Luo Yangxing has long been Wang Shuo's secret agent, you Dolgon is very kind to him, that is your Dolgon ignores people, who do you complain about, it seems that this Han people really can't rely on you to be strong, when the world is invincible, they are like pugs, running to wagging their tails at you to flatter, but they are good.When you are in trouble, and you are in such a stormy situation as you are now, he immediately turns his face, bites you coldly, and curries favor with his new master.Zilharang originally kept a hand, and he also had 100,000 elites of the Yellow Banner, all of whom were composed of Manchurians.After finding the weak link in the offensive of the Northwest Army, he wanted to concentrate these 100,000 elites and annihilate the Northwest Army in one fell swoop, so as to deter Wang Shuo and let him know that the Qing Dynasty still had strength, not soft tofu, he could pinch it if he wanted.In this way, first, it may be possible to reverse the disadvantage on the battlefield, and second, it can force Wang Shuo to be forced to sit at the negotiating table.If that happens, he will have time to make more muskets, and he will not be afraid of Wang Shuo.Now, Zheng Chenggong has disrupted all this.Zheng Chenggong must not be allowed to go to Beijing, in that case, the emperor and the Queen Mother are in danger, not to mention, his back road to defend the army has also been cut off, and at this time, the report of Mandahai on the Shanxi side also came.The Manchus had no telegraph, so they could only rely on men and horses to run, and Shanxi was high and dangerous, so it would be good to be able to pass the news five days after the Northwest Army attacked.Li Guo and Gao Yigong have broken through the Yellow River and entered Shanxi, Mandahai is a battalion step by step, defending all the way, but the weapons are not as good as others, so they can only retreat to the Taiyuan area for defense.Now, Li Da in the south also crossed the Yellow River, identified the weak point of the Qing army's defense, attacked the city and plundered the land all the way, and passed the Shangdang, and wanted to join forces with Li Guo.Gao Yigong launched an attack on Datong.The walls of Datong were demolished by Dolgon, and there was no danger to defend.Once Gao Yigong breaks through Datong, there will be no obstacles all the way south.At that time, Mandahai will be surrounded by the Northwest Army from the southeast, north and south, and will be encircled and annihilated by the Northwest Army with superior forces.Taiyuan will definitely not be able to hold it.Man Dahai felt that if he followed Jierharang's plan and withdrew from Guguan to Hebei, Gao Yigong would probably go from Datong to Xuanfu and take Beijing directly, and Beijing would be in danger.Therefore, he temporarily changed his strategy and abandoned Taiyuan to increase troops in Datong.Once Datong was lost, he retreated to Xuanfu and guarded Juyong Pass to block the Northwest Army's attack on the west side of Beijing.Man Dahai still has relatively good military experience, and if he doesn't go to defend Juyong Pass, Beijing will be really dangerous.This is how the Northwest Army was arranged, and Li Guo and Gao Yigong wanted to go out of Datong, take Xuanfu, and encircle Beijing from the west
