After Dolgon watched the drill of the Han Army's Blue Flag, he was shocked in his heart, and at the same time felt a trace of fear.He had to admit that the strength of the army, equipped with new muskets, should not be underestimated.Although Dolgon still believes that on the plains, no one can defeat the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, even if it is a Ming army equipped with new firearms, but the Eight Banners warriors have been with their fathers since childhood, hunting in the mountains, fighting with fierce beasts, and then serving in the army for many years, it can be said that it takes ten years, or even more than ten years, to train a Eight Banners armor soldier.The Eight Banners cultivated in this way can be said to be invincible in the world, but Manchuria's population is small, and the cycle of Eight Banners cultivation is too long.Now I see a kind of firearm that, with advanced firearms, can be trained in just a few months, and its strength is comparable to that of the elite army of the Eight Banners.Instead of much joy in his heart, Dolroll was terrified.The emergence of this new type of firearms and equipment will wipe out Manchuria's superiority, and Manchuria will certainly not be able to match the Ming army in the training of the new army.Manchuria had too few people to expand its army in a few months, and if the Manchu court used a large number of Han troops to equip them with firearms, it would also make the authority of the Manchurian court fall aside, and the Manchurian nobles would not be reassured.Therefore, Dolgon instinctively rejected this new type of firearm, and even wanted to ban the use of firearms, but Dolgon was still sober and understood that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not use it, and the Ming Dynasty would also use it, so he could not waste food because of choking, so he did not prohibit it for the time being, but decided to increase support for firearms.As for the ban on firearms, it will be carried out after the Manchus defeated the Ming Dynasty and unified the world.At that time, as long as these advanced firearms could be collected and destroyed, books in this area could be burned, and craftsmen were forbidden to continue to build them, the Han people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not be able to shake the rule of Manchuria.At this time, Dolgon watched the training of the Blue Banner, and in terms of drills, he was already an elite, but his strength still needed to be tested on the battlefield.Dolgon didn't want to spend the unjust money, he had to know whether the investment of the Qing court was worth it, so he wanted Bayan to lead the Zhenglan Banner to fight a battle to see if the strength of the Zhenglan Banner could fight or be a show.It's just that where to let the blue flag go to fight, but it makes Dolgon worried.At this time, after watching the drill at the Fengtai camp, Dolgon returned to Beijing and began to ponder.
~~~~~~South.The time came to 1651, the spring of the seventh year of Longwu.The war between the Ming and Qing dynasties ceased for the time being, but the friction between the two sides continued.The continuous war, for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, consumed a lot, but did not gain, but lost the rich Zhezhong, Zhebei and Susongchang three prefectures, the Manchu treasury no longer supported the Qing army to fight again, so from Sichuan to Jiangnan, the Qing army was in a state of stagnation, ready to accumulate money and food in the war.In this war, strategically speaking, the Qing army did not achieve the goal of destroying the Ming Dynasty, but lost the rich land, and the war should have been won by the Ming Dynasty.At this time, although the Ming Dynasty won the victory, it did not take advantage of the situation to attack.The internal forces of the Ming Dynasty were complex, and in the face of huge external pressure, they were able to reluctantly unite, but when the external pressure subsided, the situation immediately changed.The first problem that arose was between the Western Army and the Ming Dynasty.In the Battle of Huguang, Du Yinxi turned the tide, insisted on not retreating, and finally waited for the battlefield to advance, held Huguang, and made the Longwu court gain a firm foothold in Huguang.This can be described as a great achievement, so even if it caused the dissatisfaction of He Tengjiao, who advocated retreating at that time, He Tengjiao, who was jealous, sent people to see Sun Kewang and informed him that the matter of sealing the king was the decision of blocking Yinxi, the emperor did not promise at all, and the cabinet would not agree to him to be crowned king.This made Sun Kewang, who was storming Chengdu, furious, and immediately withdrew his troops and returned to southern and eastern Sichuan.Previously, the Sichuan Qing army was ordered to go out of Sichuan to attack Yiling, causing the emptiness of Sichuan's troops.After Sun Kewang's army entered Sichuan, it can be said that he was like a bamboo.Although Liu Wenxiu was defeated by Wu Sangui on the way to Chengdu and lost 10,000 people, the Qing army was insufficient, and Wu Sangui could only stay in Chengdu and wait for the Qing army to rescue.Originally, Sun Kewang besieged Chengdu and sent Li Dingguo to fetch the Sword Pavilion, preparing to cut off the connection between Chengdu and Hanzhong, but after hearing the news that he had been deceived, Sun Kewang was angry and gave up continuing to besiege Chengdu.After the Western Army returned to southern Sichuan, although Sun Kewang did not turn against the Ming Dynasty, he immediately played the name of the king of Qin, and in the name of the king of Qin, he controlled Yungui, southern Sichuan, and eastern Sichuan.After Zhang Xianzhong's death, the Western Army faced a huge crisis, not only losing the base area of Sichuan, but also the internal ruling system had collapsed.Sun Kewang led the remnants of the Western Army, traveled thousands of miles, transferred to the southwest, and killed Wang Zhaolin, the prime minister of the Great Western Kingdom, in Zunyi, obtained the command of the Western Army, and established the system of four generals jointly leading the army.At this time, the Western Army was already very weak, and after Sun Kewang discussed with Li Dingguo and others, under the pretext of avenging the Mu State Princess, the army marched into Yunnan and quelled the Shadingzhou Rebellion.Since then, the Western Army has been cultivating in Yungui for many years, and it seems that it has regained its strength, but in fact, there are still many internal problems, and for Sun Kewang, this is even more so.First of all, the four generals in the Western Army did not have a clear relationship between their superiors and subordinates, and Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were not Sun Kewang's ministers, and Sun Kewang still needed a position to establish a leadership position.Secondly, in the land of Yungui, the Han people are scarce, and there are many Tusi, Sun Kewang pretended to be in the name of Mu Guogong to quell the rebellion in Shadingzhou and won the support of Tusi, but many Tusi in Yungui reluctantly surrendered to him because of the face of Mu Guogong and the Ming Dynasty.Therefore, Sun Kewang urgently asked the Ming Dynasty to crown him as the King of Qin, if the Ming Dynasty named him the King of Qin, he could stabilize Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, and determine his leadership position in the Western Army.In short, with the title of King of Qin, Sun Kewang can rule the southwest in the name of the Ming Dynasty and gain more people's support.Now that Sun Kewang learned that he had been deceived, he was naturally furious and directly played the title of King of Qin.However, Sun Kewang was quite cunning, he did not directly turn his face with the Longwu court, but pretended that the Ming Dynasty named him the king of Qin, and ruled Yungui, southern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan in the name of the king of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, so that a large number of rebels were attached, with two or three hundred thousand soldiers.Sun Kewang's self-proclaimed King of Qin was introduced to Changsha City, which made Zhu Yujian furious, and He Tengjiao took the opportunity to send his subordinates to impeach and block Yinxi.As a result, not only did he not receive the reward of the Battle of Huguang, but he was squeezed out of the cabinet and became a guilty person.Zhu Yujian was extremely angry about this matter, making him very passive, if he denied Sun Kewang to proclaim himself the king of Qin, so that the western army fell to the Manchu Qing, then the Ming Dynasty was in danger, if he acquiesced in this matter, the feudal towns would rush to follow suit in the future, and the court would be majestic and in.Zhu Yujian thought about it in three, so he could only send someone to Xu Luo Sun Kewang, blocking Yinxi's words was what he meant, and ordered Sun Kewang to allow him to recover Guanzhong as the king, and the king of Qin was the seal of the surname Zhu, so that he could temporarily go to the king of Qin to be titled.Sun Kewang got the promise of the Longwu Dynasty, but he was unwilling to remove the title of King of Qin.Under this turmoil, the battlefields of Sichuan and Huguang were naturally unable to counterattack, and were pinned down by Sun Kewang's title to the king and the factional disputes within the Longwu court, while in Jiangnan, it was because the Qing army was heavily armed and the Ming army was already at a disadvantage, so it was unable to counterattack.
