Chapter 131 Kang Mazi sent troops, Wu Sangui, are you okay? (Please subscribe, please vote for monthly tickets)

"Long live my emperor! Long live."

When the little Mazi Emperor Kangxi led Fuquan, Chang Ning, Wang Zhongxiao and others to ride horses through the elite Eight Banners New Army that had already launched a large formation, tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers suddenly burst out the sound of the mountain crying like a tsunami, which shocked Wang Zhongxiao.

This group of Eight Banners soldiers looks very elite!

No wonder this little Mazi was very confident when he was punishing Wu Sangui. It turned out that he really had the Eight Banners Powerhouse in his hands!

Well, at least these Eight Banners soldiers look like powerful troops, their morale is like powerful troops, and their physiques are also like powerful troops. Foreign medicine has not been popular in Beijing these days! Although these Eight Banners children don’t play horse riding much, they are still quite popular, so their physiques are still great, which is better than Wang Fuchen’s small station soldiers!

Just when Wang Zhongxiao was shocked by the strong appearance of the Eight Banners in front of him, Kangxi had already led him to pass the sixteen infantry and cavalry formations, and then returned to the position directly in front of the sixteen square formations.

A group of Eight Banners generals wearing various cotton armor and several civil servants wearing robes and jackets gathered there to wait for the driver. The group looked quite good. Seeing Kangxi stopping his horse in front of them, they saluted Kang Mazi together and shouted in unison: "Slaves (members) and others welcome the priests, long live my emperor, long live!"

Kangxi seemed very satisfied and nodded and said, "Flat!"

Today's "military parade" was an assault military parade. Without notice in advance, even Fuquan and Chang Ning didn't know, but suddenly he was sent by Kangxi. Wang Zhongxiao didn't know. At that time, he was reporting to the management minister Fuquan to report to the management minister Fuquan. Now Wang Fuchen, Kong Sizhen, Shang Zhixin and his group were still slowly moving in the Huguang area. However, a team of Credit Suisse Hall staff sent by Yang Qilong arrived in Zhaoqing, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, led by Wang An and Wang Quan, with a total of 500,000 taels of cash in advance.

Just as Wang Zhongxiao's report was halfway through, the guards who conveyed Kangxi's oral orders arrived, so he stopped reporting and followed Fuquan to investigate the military situation of the Eight Banners New Army.

And this exploration was really shocked!

"Okay, it's much more elite than when I came last time. The Eighth Battalion Infantry and Eighth Battalion Cavalry are all decent. They are really worthy of being my Eighth Banners children! Okay, all of them are rewarded!"

Kangxi was really honest. He gave the Eight Banners soldiers from the 16th Battalion below a reward of tens of thousands of people, and one person would have to pay tens of thousands of taels! He was really willing to feed his Eight Banners soldiers silver!

It is no wonder that the Eight Banners children in Beijing, whether they are full of flags, Mongolian flags, Han army, or official households, opening accounts, another household, or dressing people, as long as they don’t have any good jobs, they all want to squeeze into this Eight Banners new army.

In fact, these Eight Banners soldiers did not have a hard time. As far as Wang Zhongxiao knew, although they fucked one day after entering the camp, they only had two hours of fighting. They just stayed in the military camp for the rest of their time. They just did anything and could not go out. In this way, when Kangxi came to inspect, Yue Le and the others could quickly gather a town troops, namely the Eighth Battalion Infantry and the Eighth Battalion Horse Team.

Unlike the Xiaozhan New Army, the Eight Banner New Army did not have direct artillery, baggage team, or engineer team, but instead recruited the sixteen battalions under these teams when needed to be commanded by the two wings (each town of the Eight Banner New Army was divided into two wings) or the presidential minister.

In addition, the official households and another household in the Eight Banners New Army can also bring their slaves to the camp with their households! Ordinary soldiers can bring up to two, that is, one soldier has two slaves to serve them, so there will be more people going up!

After these slaves entered the camp, they also had to participate in military training so that they could act as auxiliary soldiers and guardians when they went to war, and even fill in the battle after their master died.

Therefore, Kangxi's Eight Banners New Army had 30,000 on the books, but in fact, it was a count of the heads, and even 60,000 could not be stopped!

Moreover, these 60,000 people are only part of the force of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Although the number of people in Manchu Banners is only 50,000, including the Han army, Mongolia, account opening, another household, coattailers, domestic slaves, etc., the total number of people in the entire Eight Banners Group from top to bottom is 400,000 or 500,000!

Without this number, Kangxi would not dare to destroy the Four Vastaries now!

"Long live! Long live! Long live"

After Emperor Kangxi announced the reward, the tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers outside Fengtai Camp cheered like tsunamis, and it took a while before they calmed down again.

At this time, the group of officials wearing cotton armor and robes were already standing in a row in front of Kangxi's horse. Of course, the three presidential ministers standing at the forefront were Yue Le, Ezha and Leerjin, but Kangxi was not here to find them today, so he raised the whip and pointed to a tall "foreign slave" standing next to him with a big brown beard and a small brown braid on the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Master Nan, come here!"

Master Nan is Nan Huairen, the mathematics teacher of Emperor Kangxi and the "general engineer" of the arsenal of the Construction Office!

After hearing this, Nan Huairen quickly picked up his robe, ran to Kangxi happily, and then shook his sleeves, and another standard ritual, "I respectfully invite the saints and peace!"

"Flat." Kangxi smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nan Huairen stood up and bowed.

Kangxi asked with a smile: "Master Nan, I am here to see General Weiyuan's artillery today. Can it be used?"

Nan Huairen replied proudly: "Report to the emperor, I have just led someone to try General Weiyuan's cannon. The cannon weighs 560 kilograms, is still light and powerful. It can fire 30 kilograms of flowering bullets, which can be called a magical weapon to combat thieves and fight against rebellions!"

Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! Push it over and show me!"

"Yeah!" Nan Huairen waved his hand and shouted: "Push up General Weiyuan's cannon and let the emperor see how powerful it is!"

Someone immediately responded, and then he saw a mortar that looked like a bronze bell was pushed up by several Eight Banners soldiers.

This mortar cannon was cast very large, much larger than the mortar cannon that Wang Zhongxiao had cast to fire twelve kilograms of flowering bullets. The twelve kilogram used in Suzhou is very lightweight. It is not counted as a cannon carriage (cannon stand), and two strong men can carry it away.

The General Weiyuan cannon cast by Nan Huairen for Kangxi looked like it was five or six hundred kilograms, which was inconvenient to move.

While the cannon was pushed up, another team of people followed with a wooden rack. Then, where Kangxi could see clearly, he found a flat ground and placed the wooden rack. Then the cannon placed on the four-wheeler was pushed to the edge of the wooden rack. Then more than a dozen strong men tied the cannon with ropes, and then inserted seven or eight shoulder poles into the rope. Under Nan Huairen's command, they worked hard to lift the five or six hundred pound mortar cannon off the cannon and press it on the wooden rack. It was so hard to see!

Obviously, this cannon has no mobility on the battlefield.

Although this cannon has no mobility, the 30-pound flowering bullet looks quite scary!

A 20-year-old eighth-rank civil servant in his face and face was pale and unbearable, directing several Eight Banners soldiers wearing cotton armor to stuff gunpowder and a flowering bullet into the thick and short gun bore, and then pressed it with a push rod. Then he saw one of them take out the fire fold, first lit the lead wire of the flowering bullet stuffed into the muzzle, and then lit the lead wire at the fire door at the tail of the gun.

After igniting the fire, the artillery soldiers did not flash, but stood by the cannon with confidence, covering their ears with their hands - it was obvious that they were very confident in the quality of the cannon, at least not exploded.

Nan Huairen didn't even cover his ears, but just stood there to "do it". He kept gesturing in the air with one hand and chanting a spell in his mouth. Wang Zhongxiao stretched out his ears and listened, as if it was "Halilua."

"boom"

Just as Nan Huairen was chanting the spell, a dull roar came! This cannon, which seemed like a "black pot", trembled, and then he saw a stream of white smoke spewing out of the muzzle, and a black thing sprayed out from the muzzle like lightning. Then he flew over Xiaoerli at an extremely fast speed and smashed into an open space, without immediately blowing up - no fuse was triggered!

"Halilua! Halliua" Nan Huairen's "spell" was even louder, and the Eight Banners soldiers who followed him to study artillery also chanted the spell: "Halilua! Halliua"

"boom!"

This "cannon curse" is quite effective. The flowering bullet suddenly sounded loudly, turning into a ball of black smoke and covering a large area of ​​land.

"Long live! The magic cannon is invincible"

The Eight Banners soldiers shouted together again.

Kangxi smiled and turned around and boasted to Fuquan, Chang Ning said, "Look, even if Oboi was beaten, he couldn't stand it!"

That's not necessarily true! Wang Zhongxiaoxin said: Now Oboi is not afraid of cannons, but if Wu Sangui, Wu Yingqi, and my father-in-law Wu Guogui can withstand it, I don't know!

"Brother, we have such a powerful cannon. Can we send troops to pacify Yunnan immediately?" Prince Gong Changning was already a little eager to try. If he hadn't been a minor, he would have wanted to hire an errand to go south to pacify Wu with his brother. How interesting it would be! He wouldn't have to read all day, practice calligraphy, write articles, and do not have to do arithmetic problems assigned by his brother - how difficult it would be!

Kangxi turned his head and asked Nan Huairen with a relaxed look: "Master Nan, how many generals of the Gate God Wei have we now?"

"Report to the emperor, I have now brought people to cast sixteen General Weiyuan cannons!"

Kangxi nodded, "Can anyone below use it?"

"This has to be learned," said Nan Huairen, "but it is not difficult. I can send the imperial prison worship to teach."

Kangxi thought for a while and said, "If there are sixteen general Weiyuan artillery, you can use it for a town first. Let the master of the Imperial Heaven Supervisor go south with the team and teach along the way. Can it be done?"

Kangxi was obviously a little anxious - because there were fewer and fewer news from Yunnan during this period, Kangxi estimated that Wu Yingqi's power might become more and more stable!

If Wu Yingxiong cannot be sent over as soon as possible, the battle between Yunnan and Guizhou will be difficult to fight!

Nan Huairen was not sure, so he turned around and shouted: "Wen Kai!"

The eighth-rank civil servant who had just commanded several Eight Banner artillery to set off artillery heard this and ran to Kangxi, shook his sleeves, and made a thousand-handed salute: "My dear Dai Zi, please call the sage."

"Strip?" Kangxi was stunned, "What strap? Are you on the flag?"

"Men's surname is Dai, and the one who wears a hat is Dai. Zi is a Xin on the edge of the character "Men". Chen is not in the flag, and he is from Renhe, Hangzhou, Zhejiang."

Dai Zi?

Wang Zhongxiao immediately remembered who this person was? Isn’t this the firearms expert in the early Qing Dynasty? Last time he was in Zhejiang, he asked people, but no one knew his existence. Why did he slip out to Beijing in the blink of an eye and sneak into the Imperial Heaven Supervision?

Kangxi asked: "How did you come to Beijing?"

"My father Dai Cang and the governor of Liangjiang Duolong have old age, so he recommended me to the multi-system military station. When the multi-system military knew that I liked to fiddle with firearms and gunpowder, I recommended me to Master Nan."

It turned out that it was done by Doron!

Wang Zhongxiao thought: I became the governor of Liangjiang because of this Duolong. This really shot Wu Sangui in the foot!

"Oh," Kangxi thought for a while, "Then can you teach the gunners below to use this kind of cannon?"

"Your Majesty, I can take them with you."

"Take it?" Kangxi was stunned, "How to bring it?"

Dai Zi said: "Your Majesty, this kind of artillery is a cannon that can't be aimed directly. You have to measure the distance first, then calculate the angle of the cannon, then calculate the medicine bag, measure the distance, calculate the angle of the cannon, calculate the angle of the cannon, calculate the angle of the cannon, and calculate the angle of the cannon, so that each cannon will fire according to the angle of the cannon given by the cannon, then there will be no difficulty."

You are deceiving the king! Wang Zhongxiaoxin said: It’s hard to calculate the distance, calculate the angle of the cannon, and it’s not a big deal to add medicine. There is no need to calculate the on-site at all. Calculate in advance how much distance is used to add gunpowder, and then write it on the notebook for the artillery to carry it with you! No, I must frame you like such a treacherous lie who deceives the king!

"Wang Datou!"

When Wang Zhongxiao was thinking about framing the treacherous, Kangxi suddenly shouted at him.

"The slave is here!"

Wang Zhongxiao quickly turned over and got off the horse, ran to Kangxi and beat Qianli.

Kangxi said: "You bring this Dai Zi with you and remember. If you really want to go to the battlefield, you must protect him well!"

"Slaves receive the order!"

Wang Zhongxiao stood up, and Dai Zi saluted Wang Zhongxiao with a look of fear. Although Wang Zhongxiao was wearing a yellow jacket without a patch, the warm hat on his head was filled with the coral top of the second-rank official!

Can a second-rank official protect the eighth-rank official Dai Zi not be frightened?

Kangxi waved his hand and asked Wang Zhongxiao and Dai Zi to retreat, then shouted again: "Prince An, Prince Shuncheng."

Then Yue Le and Ozha came over.

Kangxi said: "King Shuncheng County Prince, Sun Sike's green camp soldiers advanced quickly. Now they have passed Langzhong and will arrive in Chengdu soon. In addition, Mo Luo, the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, also mobilized more than 10,000 Ganzhou and Shaanxi green camps and a large number of grain and grass to transport them to Hanzhong. You two are ready to enter Sichuan at any time, so you should set off as soon as possible!

We sent troops under the name of escorting Wu Yingxiong to the south to Jufan. We don’t need to enter Yunnan and Guizhou. We just need to press on Yunnan and Guizhou to form a downward force of Mount Tai, and then wait for it to change independently!”
