Kong Youde felt miserable.
I thought that Leling was a soft persimmon who could be manipulated at will.
Who would have thought that after a fight, they would realize that this was not the case at all.
He has a red cannon, and the Ming army also has cannons.
Although it doesn't look as powerful as the red cannon, it is really powerful.
In addition, firing artillery from the top of the city has a natural advantage.
For a time, the artillery bombardment caused Kong Youde's Tianyou Army to be at a disadvantage.
A great shame It would be understandable if it were lacking in other aspects, but firearms, especially artillery, are the strengths of the God Blessing Army.
If the Ming army was even inferior to him in this aspect, there would really be no place for Kong Youde's old face.
What's more, in Kong Youde's view, Linqing and Dezhou are both difficult to fight, and Leling is already relatively easy to fight.
If he couldn't even take down Leling, what would Prince Yu think and what would the Regent think?
Kong Youde is still very self-aware.
He knew that although he was a prince in name, he was actually just a senior servant of the Aixinjueluo family.
The Aixinjueluo family can make him king, but they can naturally deprive him of this title.
Kong Youde must take every step carefully, only in this way can he keep this hard-won wealth.
What does he want to do during his half-life in the military?
Isn't it to leave glory and wealth to future generations?
"shoot off" Thinking of this, Kong Youde resolutely ordered the cannon to be fired.
He wanted to see how long Leling City could survive the fierce bombardment of the red cannon.
After Dorgon ordered his people to draft the order, Hong Chengchou ordered dozens of guards to leave Beijing and rush to Guanzhong.
In his opinion, arriving at Guanzhong earlier would enable Azig to send troops earlier.
The war situation in Shaanxi and Huguang is not only about the gains and losses of this place, but the whole world.
If the Qing army could capture Huguang and then move south along the Yangtze River to capture Nanjing, perhaps the entire situation would be completely different.
After all, the number of people stationed by the Ming army in southern Zhili will not be too large.
As long as they break through the Huguang defense line, Nanjing will be like a little girl wearing only a tulle, and they can go to Nanjing whenever they want.
But there was one thing that Hong Chengchou couldn't worry about, and that was his mother's body.
Hong Chengchou is from Quanzhou, Fujian, and his mother has always lived in his hometown.
After the Qing army entered the customs, Hong Chengchou wanted to send people to pick up his mother several times to come to Beijing, but he gave up because of the traffic obstruction between the north and the south.
We don't know how long it will take for the Qing army to conquer the country, but Hong Chengchou can't wait any longer.
If the land route is not accessible, then the only option is to take the sea route.
Before leaving the capital, Hong Chengchou ordered someone to make a special trip to Weidagukou in Tianjin and take a boat south to Quanzhou in Fujian, hoping to take his mother back to Beijing to support her.
Fearing that the Ming army would discover clues, Hong Chengchou did not dare to send out the Qing navy, but planned to entrust a group of pirates from Xiaoyue Island.
Not long ago, these pirates came to us on their own initiative, hoping to act as informants for the Qing army.
The regent Dorgon was very interested and immediately agreed.
This time Hong Chengchou wanted to ask these pirates to fetch his mother from his hometown in Quanzhou, and they would not refuse.
Of course, this kind of thing is not urgent.
Hong Chengchou only asked his servants to wait at Dagukou in Tianjin.
When the pirates from Xiaoyue Island came to deliver the message, they would board the ship and go to Quanzhou.
Hong Chengchou asked himself that he had failed Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty, so it was naturally impossible to be loyal.
Therefore, what he wants in his heart now is to be able to fulfill his filial piety.
His mother is also getting old, and he just hopes to be by his side every day to fulfill his filial piety and repay his mother's kindness in raising her.
As for the merits and demerits, he really doesn't care, let's leave it to future generations to comment.
"Third Master, right in front is Dagokou" This is Wu Erhu's first visit to Tianjin Wei.
One of the people who came last time was his confidant, the one he called out just now.
He took a closer look and saw that the terrain of Dagukou was extremely dangerous.

There were many forts built on the mountain.
It was really an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.
The reason why he came in person this time was to establish a better relationship with the Qing court.
After all, relying on others to tell you something and understanding it yourself are two completely different things.
As the boat slowly docked, Wu Erhu thought about it over and over in his mind.
He didn't know which level of the Qing army he could contact, but no matter what, he had to at least make the stakes clear.
After the boat stopped, Wu Erhu was the first to step on the board and jump off the boat.
Several minions followed in turn.
The gangsters who had been here last time led the way, and a group of pirates climbed up the rugged dirt road.
After arriving at a fort made entirely of stones, the young man stopped, smiled charmingly at Wu Er and said, "Third Master, we are here."
The defenders in the fort had discovered them early and sent someone to open the door.
After the door opened, several pirates walked in one after another.
The young man greeted the Qing soldiers and led Wu Erhu inside.
"Third Master, if you have anything to say, please tell Mr.
Cui Qian directly.
He has the final say here."
President Cui Qian obviously lived in the best single room in the fort, and even Wu Erhu was a little envious.
There is no such a nice house on Xiaoyue Island, this guy really knows how to enjoy it.
Cui Qianhu was a very lean man.
Seeing that the young man came with a strange face, he asked very warily: "Who is this person?"
The young man immediately said with a smile: "Mr.
Cui, I would like to introduce you to you.
This is the third head of our Xiaoyue Island."
Then he turned to Wu Erhu and said with a charming smile: "The third boss, this is Mr.
Cui Qian."
The two of them each clasped their fists and said "good to see you" without smiling.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, President Cui Qian called his men to pour tea.
Although there is no good tea in this fortress, it can still be done to quench thirst and relieve fatigue.
While waiting, Cui Qianhu cleared his throat and said, "You, the third master, came in person to report something important."
Wu Erhuzi was very dissatisfied with Cui Qianhu's attitude towards his figure, but he had to bow his head under the roof, and he didn't want to stalemate the relationship as soon as it started.
"Mr.
Cui Qian, it's like this.
We have heard an important military information.
All the Ming troops stationed in Denglai have been transferred to support the north."
Wu Erhu must have thought that Cui Qianhu would be shocked and praise him a few words, but who would have thought that this guy didn't react at all.
Wu Erhu even wondered if this guy was deaf and wanted to repeat what he said.
After a long time, Cui Qianhu blew out two streams of foul air from his nostrils.
"Hmph, you think this kind of thing is very important, so I will report it for you.
However, I advise you to give up.
It is unlikely that the imperial court will send troops by sea."
Mr.
Cui Qian poured a basin of cold water down, and the fire in Wu Er's bearded heart was extinguished.
He swallowed his foam and asked, "Dare I ask Mr.
Cui why the imperial court is unlikely to send troops by sea?"
