Beijing, the city of Bauhinia, is covered in a vast layer of snow.In the south of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Qing army had a large camp called Fengtai Battalion.Several Eight Banners were stationed here to guard the city, because the Eight Banners were a privileged class, and since the Qing army was stationed, the surrounding people often suffered from disasters and gradually fled from the vicinity of Fengtai.Over time, the area around the Fengtai camp became sparsely populated.Last year, the people who were already small in the surrounding area were driven away by the Qing army, making the camp a no-man's land within a radius of ten miles, and the people were forbidden to approach the camp.This can't help but make people wonder what secrets are in the Fengtai camp.Early in the morning, Dolgon rode in a carriage, surrounded by many guards, and left Beijing to inspect the Eight Banners training at the Fengtai camp.Dolgon said that he was the regent, but in fact he was equivalent to the Emperor of Manchuria, and the carriage he rode on was the same as that of the Emperor, and it was very large, like a moving palace.At this time, in the carriage drawn by six healthy horses, Doll was sitting in the carriage with a stove in his hand, and his face was expressionless.In the carriage, there was also a person sitting, wearing a black official robe, with a beast on his chest, a large string of pearls, a bowl and a hat, and a flower feather that only the Manchurian nobles could insert.This person is Hong Chengchou, because he contacted the Dutch, supervised the construction of firearms, and in the Manchu court, he supported Dolgon's grand strategy of dominating the world, and won Dolgon's favor from the new."
Regent, Zhejiang is occupied by Zhu Yihai, and Haikou Zhao Tiebang occupies the three mansions of Su Songchang, and most of the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is owned by thieves.Previously, Jiangnan was an important place for the imperial court to pay taxes and grain, and now not only can it not provide money and grain for the imperial court, but also needs the imperial court to invest money, and the household department may not be able to make ends meet this year!
”Hong Chengchou's old horse knew the way, his face was melancholy, and he was heartbroken for the Qing Dynasty.Dolgon's face was gloomy, "A few days ago, Feng Quan told this king that it was difficult to maintain the expenses of the household department, and suggested that this king reduce the consumption of the Ministry of Industry and first meet the money and grain needed by Jiangnan, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Sichuan. ”Now the Ming and Qing dynasties have entered a tug-of-war, and the battlefield is staggered, but when you zoom in, it is still a word, in a straight line.At this time, the Ming army and the Qing army clashed, mainly in four battlefields, the Qing army in Huguang and Jiangxi, still maintained a huge advantage, while in Sichuan and Jiangnan, the advantage was losing step by step.Needless to say, there were more than 200,000 Ming troops in Jiangnan, which became the fierce enemy of the Qing army, and it was difficult for the Qing army to eliminate the Zhejiang army for a while.The Sichuan battlefield was all an accident, and neither Dolgon nor the Manchus thought that Sun Kewang, who had been in Yunnan and Guizhou for several years, would suddenly send troops to Sichuan.The attack of the western army was too sudden, and the Qing army was completely unprepared, and by the time the Qing army reacted, the eastern and southern Sichuan regions had all fallen into the hands of the western army.Fortunately, with Wu Sangui in Chengdu, the Qing army was able to keep Chengdu and northern Sichuan, and defeated Liu Wenxiu, the general of the Western Army, in Longquan Town, Chengdu Prefecture, and stabilized the situation.The Western Army, which suddenly appeared, divided a lot of troops from the Manchu Qing Dynasty at once, and also restrained Wu Sangui's elite army, so that the Manchu court could mobilize its troops, which became overstretched and supplies were also in short supply.Because of the huge investment in the four battlefields, and the fact that production in the north had not yet fully recovered, the financial situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty immediately deteriorated after the loss of Su Song's tax-paying land, so Feng Quan proposed to reduce the recent huge expenditure of the Ministry of Industry.Hong Chengchou had already received this news, so he had recently written to Dolgon many times, asking Dolgon to come and inspect the Fengtai camp, where the Han army was training with new firearms, and to test Dolgon's tone to find out whether Dolgon had any intention of reducing the expenses of the Ministry of Industry.At this time, Hong Chengchou listened to Dolgon's words, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, the Ministry of Industry has recently cast firearms, and the consumption is indeed huge.However, the main cost was actually an agreement with Hongmaoyi that they had to purchase their firearms and warships, so that they were willing to provide drawings and send craftsmen to the Qing Dynasty.Now that the Ministry of Industry is about to fully control the casting technique of Hongmaoyi, it won't be long before the Ministry of Industry can cast it itself even without the help of Hongmaoyi, and then the cost will be reduced, and the prince can't give up halfway!
”Dolgon's face was calm and did not say anything, and at this moment, the curtain of the car was raised, and the Han army was blue flag Gushan Bayan said: "Lord Wang, it's time to the Fengtai camp." ”At that moment, Dolgon got out of the carriage, and the ermine belt was covered with snow, and entered the Fengtai camp, and he heard the sound of guns and cannons in the camp."
Lord Wang, the warriors have been practicing day and night, and now that they have been practicing for most of the year, the minions have the confidence to fight with Zhao Zamao."
Bayan nodded and said.Dolgon glanced at him, a little surprised, "Zhao Zamao is the henchman of this king, you have such confidence?"
”Dolgon had watched the Red Haired Warriors test firing muskets, and felt that the power was indeed stronger than that of the birds, and he was indeed shocked at the time, but in Dolgon's subconscious, he actually believed more in the ability of the Eight Banners Warriors to ride and shoot on foot."
Lord Wang, the firearms used by Zhao Zamao and the firearms we use are all from Hongmaoyi.The minions also have the help of Hongmaoyi to train, why can't they fight with Zhao Zamao?
”Bayan is full of confidence.He is the younger brother of Li Shutai, and Li Shutai died at the hands of Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming, and Bayan hated them to the core.Dolgon had a rare smile on his face, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, this king will go and see how the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom practice." ”When a group of people stepped on the snow to enter the camp and came to the school field, they saw the Qing army with the blue flag, divided into several groups, and was conducting a drill.Wearing blue armor and holding flintlock muskets, the soldiers of the blue flag lined up in a neat military formation, and in front of each military formation, there was a red-haired ghost, commanding the training.At present, we should look at whether the army is elite, whether the army is strictly organized and solemn, and second, look at its spirit, see the mental outlook of the soldiers, and whether it has the spirit of a tiger and a wolf.The blue flag of the Han army is the first flag to be disabled in the eight banners of the Han army, and most of the current replenishment is from the newly selected flags, and it has not experienced many wars.Therefore, Dolgon looked at it, and the momentum of the soldiers was not satisfied, he did not see from them, the murderous aura of the old Eight Banners, but looking at its array, it was extremely strict and solemn.Dolgon looked at the various military formations and couldn't see any doorways, and then Hong Chengchou said a few words to Bayan, and Bayan left immediately.After a short time, there were Qing soldiers and soldiers, inserting dense pedestrian wooden targets on the school field, and a group of Qing flintlock musketeers stood in three columns, and three artillery pieces were placed on each side, forming a military formation and advancing towards the shooting range.I don't know when, Bayan ran back and said to Dolgon: "Lord, the formation drill, I can't see the real ability, the slave asked the warriors to demonstrate a volley of guns, and the prince knows that what the slave said is true." ”(Thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe) ()
