Chapter 331: Dolgon's Melancholy


In the Regent's Mansion, Dolgon was looking at Hu Guanglai's beating, his brows furrowed.Suddenly, Dolgon angrily threw the notebook to the ground, looking very annoyed, and the scholars on both sides immediately bowed their heads.After the defeat of Fujian and the death of Dordor, Dorgon's temper became more and more strange and irritable.At this time, Ning Wan looked left and right, and still came out and asked, "Why should the regent be angry?"

”Dolgon was silent for a moment before he said hatefully: "A few months ago, Kong Youde beat the report and was about to defeat the enemy who invaded Jingzhou, but today he suddenly beat the report, Jingzhou let the puppet Ming seize it, it is really unreasonable!"

”At first, the Ming army suddenly attacked, and the Qing army was caught off guard, and the prefectures and counties near Jingzhou fell one after another, surrounding Jingzhou.At this time, the Qing army had just experienced the defeat of Fujian, and the blows of Dai Shan and Duoduo died one after another, so they could only deal with it in a hurry, and they were in a very passive situation, but as the Qing army came to their senses and King Sanshun entered Hubei, it quickly reversed the war situation and made the Qing army regain the upper hand.Originally, the Qing court thought that the overall situation had been decided, so they waited for the good news of Huguang and swept away the decadent atmosphere, but they didn't want to report it now, Jingzhou actually fell, so how could Dolgon not be surprised.If it's just an ordinary city falling, it's nothing, the key is Jingzhou, and it was just after Emperor Longwu moved to Changsha.The fall of Jingzhou not only deprived the Manchus of an important stronghold in Huguang, but also further boosted the arrogance of the Ming army and enabled the Longwu court to gain a firm foothold in Fujian.After Ning finished listening to me, he was also surprised, "How can this be?"

”But he didn't dare to pick up the folds that fell on the ground.Dolgon's face was gloomy, too lazy to explain, and he pointed to the fold, "See for yourselves!

”Ning Wan and I and the others hurriedly picked up the folds and circulated them to each other, everyone quickly glanced at them, and noticed one of them, "The enemy who invaded Jingzhou, the firearms are sharp, its bird guns, the rate of fire is twice as high as mine, the seventy steps pierce the heavy armor, its cannons and steps accompany it, and the erosion is several miles, and the thunder thrown by the soldiers and soldiers is like a dry thunder, and the soldiers are all shocked ~~~~" In just a few words, everyone has understood the reason, knowing that the army of King Sanshun has met the new firearms of the Ming army.After reading it, Ning was silent for a while, and then said: "The regent, the Qing warriors of Huguang, have never encountered the new firearms of the pseudo-Ming, and the regent is angry!"

”Dolgon's anger could not be calmed, and behind the anger, it was actually his worry, "New firearms, originally only Zhao Zamao in the East China Sea, and now new firearms have also appeared on the Huguang battlefield, is that these weapons have spread among the Ming army, and the pseudo-Ming has begun large-scale manufacturing and production to equip the army." ”The Manchus did not admit that the soldiers of the Eight Banners were weaker than the Ming army, and their summary of the battle with Fujian was that the Ming army's firearms were too sharp.Now these sharp firearms are actually equipped in the hands of the Huguang Ming army, if all the Ming army uses new firearms, then how can the Qing Kingdom fight with the Ming army.Ning Wan and I hurriedly said: "The regent doesn't have to worry, according to the news from Xizuo, these firearms should be sold by Zhao Zamao to Huguang's puppet Ming army, and the puppet Ming should only be able to make new firearms!"

”"It's Zhao Zamao again!"

When Dolgon heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth, "Why is there this barbarian everywhere, it's not enough for him to mess up the coast, his hand actually stretched out to Huguang!"

”Dol rolled back and forth in the study, and the ground was about to be stepped out of a groove by him, and he stopped his steps in the middle of the sound, extremely annoyed, "Even so, it won't work, what if Zhao Zamao continues to deliver firearms to Huguang's puppet Ming army, or other enemy troops?"

”Ning Wan and I were speechless for a while, the Manchu Qing couldn't destroy Zhao Zamao, so what Zhao Zamao wanted to do, the Manchus naturally couldn't control it.Dolgon also understood this in his heart, and he walked back and forth a few steps again, and suddenly asked, "Is there any progress in the imitation of fake firearms by the Ministry of Industry?"

”At the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they still attached great importance to firearms, and they were also very good at learning, and after being bombarded by the Hongyi cannon of the Ming army, they began to try their best to make Hongyi cannons, and finally in terms of technology, they also surpassed the Ming Dynasty.When Zhao Ming attacked the coast before, the Manchu Qing noticed that the firearms in Donghai Town were sharper, but they did not pay attention to it.After the Battle of Fujian, the Qing army suffered a major defeat, so that the Manchus finally woke up, attracted attention, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to start manufacturing advanced firearms.After Ning finished me, Han Dai's heart sank, his back was sweating, he stepped forward to salute, lowered his head and said: "Back to the regent, the Ministry of Industry has made progress and made a prototype, but it still needs to be improved." ”After the defeat of the Han Dynasty from Fujian and returned to Jiangnan, because he had fought with the Ming army, he was transferred to the Ministry of Industry to serve as a Manshangshu, and he was responsible for counterfeiting firearms."

It still needs to be improved, that is, it didn't work out!"

Dorgon exclaimed, "What a waste!

”Several ministers in the room were as quiet as cicadas, and only after half a sound did they finish: "The regent is angry, Master Hong has reported that Hongmaoyi is good at using firearms, and Zhao Manzi's things are mostly imitations of Hongmaoyi's things."

Now that the Hongmaoyi envoy has arrived in Beijing, he wants to pay tribute to my Qing Dynasty and deal with the pseudo-Ming together with my Qing Dynasty, so that we can obtain Xiyi firearms through Hongmaoyi!

”Dolgon frowned slightly, and then stretched out, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be going to meet Hongmaoyi today, and couldn't help asking, "Is Hong Chengchou here?"

”Previously, Hong Chengchou was unfavorable to guard the south of the Yangtze River, was dismissed by Dolgon, and ate prison for more than a year, but after all, Hong Chengchou was a typical example established by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so it didn't take long for Hong Chengchou to be released and re-entrusted with the important task, serving as the Han Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and the bachelor of the Inner Academy, presiding over the construction of ships and the casting of firearms."

Master, Master Hong and Hongmaoyi are already waiting outside!"

The minions outside the room reported.Dolgon thought that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's current siege weapon was called the red-clothed cannon, which was probably made by the Hongmaoyi, and they must have made good use of firearms.If you can learn the casting of new firearms from Hongmaoyi, then the Qing Kingdom is not afraid of the false Ming at all, and there is no need to worry about Zhao Zamao."

Let them in!"

Dolgon walked back to the table and said immediately.Not long after, Hong Chengchou led a group of red-haired Yi in, Hong Chengchou knelt on the ground and saluted, "Slave to meet the regent!"

”Behind him, Hongmaoyi only bowed slightly, and said in Dutch dialect: "Your Excellency the regent of the Qing Kingdom!

”Seeing this, the Manchu officials on the side immediately reprimanded angrily, "Bold, when you see the regent, you don't kneel down and salute!"

”Dolgon also frowned, staring at a few red-haired ghosts, Mousse and the others were yelled, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said a string of Dutch words.Hong Chengchou hurriedly explained: "Don't blame the regent, these Hongmaoyi are different from us, their knees are straight, and they can't kneel and salute!"

”Hong Chengchou told a lie that he didn't believe in, and after speaking, he gave the translator next to him a crazy look.The muscles on Dolgon's face twitched, and he didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't poke Hong Chengchou's words.The Dutchman Mousse can understand Chinese and can also speak some Chinese, he listened to Hong Chengchou's words, and he was also surprised in his heart, an ignorant Tatar, but he didn't say anything, pretended to be confused, made a puzzled look, and said a few words of Dutch.
