In the army of this era, there were blacksmiths, carpenters, and... Anyway, there were no book engraving craftsmen. If there were no suitable craftsmen, then I had to find a way on my own.

Although you can put the extra number in modern printing, or buy a modern printing press from the other side, but... who can do it! Of course, it is impossible for the majestic prince to do everything personally, so after thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang chose

Mimeograph machines. In the past era, mimeograph machines were indispensable equipment for school teaching and institutional work. Although this equipment has long been eliminated, when Zhu Guoqiang was a child, he had seen photos of his father "engraving" on steel plates, so

I have a certain impression of it.

With the convenience of the Internet, I bought several brand-new roller mimeograph machines and hundreds of pieces of writing wax paper without much trouble. The rest was simple. I just studied how to use the mimeograph machine. There are already instructions.

, there is also information, so for this kind of printing technology, the scribes in the army don't even need the prince's guidance. They can easily master the usage skills by relying only on the instructions and information.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Haoyuan first placed the white paper and wax plate in the machine and fixed it, dragged the rollers and pressed them repeatedly, and immediately wrote out a minute of what he had just written, revealing how the gentlemen of Donglin betrayed their country and sought glory, and how they colluded to build the country.

The "outside number" for the Nu intended to dedicate the city was printed.

Among many scribes, he is the one who masters the skills the fastest, so it is natural for him to demonstrate how to operate it.

Because the extra number was written by these scribes, they were not curious about the content. Instead, they stared at the mimeograph machine and exclaimed.

"It's so convenient! How did you make this, Prince?"

Zhu Guoqiang explained the principle of the mimeograph machine. Although everyone seemed to understand its principle, it didn't matter at the moment. The important thing was to use it first, and then slowly explore its principle.

Finally, attract and trial-produce.

The technology of the mimeograph machine is also very simple, which is very suitable for production and use in this era, so Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"This mimeograph machine is easy to make. The main reason is that wax paper is not easy to make. You can do some research later and select the paper that is most suitable for engraving."

Everyone was talking about this mimeograph machine.

"With the mimeograph machine, printing books will be a hundred times easier in the future!"

"This thing can be called an artifact!"

"Oh, how could this not be a divine weapon? This is a divine weapon brought by the Crown Prince from the Heavenly Palace. Even though it is inconspicuous, when it comes to Guangxing's educational function, I'm afraid it is no less than a printed book!"

Well, it’s a miracle again!

Now Zhu Guoqiang is too lazy to explain these things.

Although the mimeograph machine is not suitable for large-scale printing of books, it is perfectly suitable for printing single sheets such as flyers.

More than a dozen mimeograph machines printed tens of thousands of leaflets in one day. With the help of these leaflets, the army marched north. The gentry and common people along the way all learned about the Donglin Party's attempt to dedicate the city through the leaflets.

I betrayed my country and learned how loyal the prince was in leading his troops northward, and called on all Ming armies to join forces to annihilate Dorgon.

When the 80,000-strong army marched northward, the spies sent by the Qing army finally brought the news of the Nanjing uprising to Haizhou and to Dorgon.

"What, that kid is treasonous!"

After hearing the news, Dorgon suddenly said excitedly.

"Is it true?"

If it is true, then God is really helping me!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Now that Crown Prince De is plotting rebellion, Mingren must have too much to worry about. As long as they use a little strategy, I think the army will be able to return safely!"

Hu Gongming, who stood up to congratulate him, was a Han official. He said he was an official, but in fact he was Dorgon's slave. As a Han Chinese, like many Han people in Liaodong, he worked as a slave manor in Tuokesuo, the slave manor of Prince Baylor.

Slaves were enslaved by their masters and lived a miserable life. If they made the slightest mistake, they would be beaten, scolded, and even massacred. Even if

After all the hard work and effort, he was born as a scholar among many slaves and became an official from a slave, but in fact he was still dependent on others. Even as an official, he had horses that he could not ride, oxen that he could not use, and fields that he could not plow. Even now he seems to be an official.

Officials, but after their death, their wives and children will be assigned to the current banner owner.

For Hu Gongming, what he wants is that the prince has made great contributions and can find a future for his wife and children after his death - at least not to be sent to the banner owner.

Therefore, after learning that Prince De was planning to rebel, an idea suddenly flashed into his mind.

"Oh! Tell me!"

"Master Beile, Nanjing has been seized by Prince Mingde now, and he controls Yangzhou and cuts off the north-south water transportation. For the Ming Dynasty, we are only a temporary worry, but the rebellious Prince De is the real trouble.

!So from my perspective, we might as well..."

When Hu Gongming talked about his plan, Dorgon's brows raised slightly.

This is indeed an opportunity!

Compared with the risk of taking the sea route, the land route is undoubtedly safer. However, the land route requires the Ming army to pursue and counterattack along the way. This is also the reason why he initially chose the sea route. But if, as Hu Gongming said, the Ming army gives way to him.

What's a way?

Not only can the entire army return, but the captured humans and animals can also be taken back outside the pass.

"But will Hong Chengchou be willing?"

Lord Baylor's rhetorical question made Hu Gongming smile.

"Master Beile, Governor Hong is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty! He can distinguish the priorities! Now as long as Lord Beile can see him, this matter will definitely be feasible!"

"That……"

After pondering for a moment, Dorgon said.

"Just meet him!"

…

For a month, tens of thousands of troops gathered in the small Yizhou, also known as Linyi in later generations. Hong Chengchou, who led the elite frontier army, chased the Donglu all the way to Yizhou, and then stopped here. There were people everywhere outside the city.

There were troops stationed on horseback and infantry, tents were lined up in the surrounding suburbs, and there were groups of war horses. At night, drums and horns sounded, horses neighed, and no one knew how many officers and soldiers there were.

The arrival of these elite border troops really made the people of Yizhou breathe a sigh of relief. At least they didn't have to worry about the Donglu coming to kill them.

After the Donglu broke through the wall again and entered the pass, in order to save the crisis, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, led the army with Yang Guozhu, the general of Xuanfu, Wang Pu, the general of Datong, Tang Tong, the general of Miyun, Bai Guangen, the general of Jizhou, and Cao, the general of Yutian.

A hundred thousand troops transformed into dragons went all the way south to pursue the Donglu. Although there were occasional battles along the way, in fact most of the time they were just watching from a distance.

After all, the Donglu were very brave and they were really no match for the Ming army in a field battle.

Hong Chengchou, who was born as a Jinshi during the Wanli period, was very young when he ascended the throne. From then on, he rose through the ranks and it was smooth sailing. However, in his early fifties, he became the governor of Shaanxi Province and the governor of the three sides a few years ago, and held the title of Minister of War.

To sum it up, he was no stranger to the Donglu. The year before last, he was the governor of Shaanxi Province when he went to suppress the Western bandits. When he was about to wipe out the bandits, he was urgently recalled because of the invasion of the Donglu. Later, he served as Jiliao

Governor, be on guard against the Donglu. Before he could rectify Jiliao's military affairs, the Donglu invaded again, so he was asked to quickly lead soldiers and horses from various towns to reinforce the capital, and then pursue them all the way here.

Many years of military life have stained his face with the color of dust. After many years of service as an official, he has long since worn away the edges and corners, hiding the viciousness and treachery in his heart. He is able to deal with things without arrogance or impetuosity.

Foresight and foresight. Because of these strengths, all his generals were willing to serve him. Yang Sichang was not jealous of him, and the jealous and suspicious emperor also relied heavily on him.

But now, facing the Donglu, he felt very headache. Since arriving in Yizhou, he had fought against the Donglu many times, but every time it was in vain. The Donglu were good at fighting in the field, and the Jurchens were invincible. It was no joke. What's more, let

What disturbed him was the news from Nanjing.

First, Chen Wudi, the commander-in-chief of the Huben Army under Prince De, defeated Abatai's tens of thousands of troops in Nanjing. Of course, the more shocking news is that Prince De actually took Liaodong from the sea and went directly to Huanglong to seize Shengjing, killing ten slaves.

Tens of thousands, and even the skull of the chief Nurhaci was snatched back - in other words, he dug up other people's ancestral graves.

This is a relief!

How many Liaodong Han people did Nurhachi kill?

But the problem is that this credit was made by Prince De!

Now the messenger reporting Prince De's victory is on his way to the capital. This... is nothing. What's more terrible is that Prince De killed nobles in Nanjing and established himself as the governor!

This, it is true that Prince De has made tremendous achievements, but he also has tremendous courage! What these ministers did is clearly treason!

Needless to say, Hong Chengchou knew that after His Majesty heard the news, he would be furious and would definitely spread the decree to the world and order the army to attack the rebellious ministers of De Fan.

Hong Chengchou, who was in Yizhou, was bound to bear the brunt of the attack. He went north to Jinan to capture King De and went south to crusade... But before he could figure out how to deal with it, Prince De's messenger sent him a letter, inviting him to join forces in Haizhou.

Completely annihilated Dorgon's army in Haizhou.

When he received this letter, Hong Chengchou felt extremely hot. What kind of letter was there? It was clearly a demand for life!

Although he did not doubt the statement in the letter that "all 30,000 slaves will be killed, and the slaves will be severely damaged and will no longer be able to harm the Ming Dynasty." However, Hong Chengchou knew very well who Zhu Ciying, the current son of De, was?

It is the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty!

These are the rebellious officials and traitors that Your Majesty wants to get rid of soon!

At this time, joining forces with him to attack Dorgon, wouldn't this tell His Majesty that he, Hong Chengchou, has also become a traitor?

"Prince De, Prince De, do you think Hong can't see your plan clearly? You just want to use the name of crusade to usurp the throne. Hum, when you defeat Dorgon,

That’s when you plot rebellion!”

With a cold snort, Hong Chengchou looked at the letter and frowned. What should I do with this letter now?

Let’s send someone to the capital!

Just when Hong Chengchou made this decision, another messenger came over there to preach.
Chapter completed!
