In later generations, in the Han Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, guarded Yunnan and Guizhou, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, guarded Guangdong, Geng Zhongming, the king of Jingnan, and Geng Jingzhong and his son guarded Fujian. They are very famous!
Kang Xiaomazi killed Obai, pacified the Three Feuds, and recovered Taiwan. This laid the foundation for the Qing Dynasty's national destiny for two hundred years!
But in fact, the so-called San Francisco, apart from Wu Sangui's strong military and strong ambitions, was a powerful faction and was a serious problem for Kangxi!
The other two vassals are gratifying, but Geng Jingzhong and his like do not have any real abilities. Even when the Manchu and Qing armies entered the pass, they only dared to pick weak persimmons. The reason why they were able to occupy Guangdong and Fujian was
Land, more, but still because of luck!
After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, in the land of Guangdong, although there were still many Ming Dynasty elders and children, most of them existed in the form of gang organizations. They did not have much positive energy and were just small fights. For Shang Kexi's right to rule,
It doesn’t pose much harm at all!
Although the land of Fujian is adjacent to the Taiwan of the Zheng family, at that time, Mr. Guo Xingye had already died of illness, and his descendants had long lost their ancestral glory. They were just a group of people who only knew how to fight for power and profit, but had no means.
Never posed a threat to Geng Jingzhong in Fujian!
Only Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, who lorded over Yunnan and Guizhou and was a fierce warrior, could be regarded as a man with a bit of blood!
But in fact, in addition to these three vassals, there was also an important Han official from the Manchu Qing Dynasty who was named the vassal king, with the world town of Guangxi and the fiefdom of Guilin!
This is Kong Youde, King of Dingnan!
Although Kong Youde was not as powerful as Wu Sangui, he was deeply trusted by Huang Taiji and was Huang Taiji's trusted servant. His subordinates were all elites drawn from the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's Liao and Eastern Han military flags. They had sharp firearms, strong soldiers and horses, and had always been the leader of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The 'number one Hanchen thug' under his command!
In terms of achievements for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if Wu Sangui opened the door of Shanhaiguan, he may not be much more than Kong Youde!
However, maybe he has committed too many sins. In some aspects, Kong Youde’s ideas are a bit too memorized!
Although he had many wives and concubines, he did not have a son. He only had one precious daughter, named Kong Sizhen. She was fostered in the Manchu palace since she was a child and was named Princess Heshuo!
There was a time when the famous Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang always wanted to appoint Kong Sizhen as Shunzhi's concubine, but at that time, Lord Shunzhi was infatuated with Concubine Dong E, so she gave up the matter!
Although the Kong family father and daughter enjoyed all the honors of the Manchus, the most critical and tragic thing was that the land of Guangxi was the territory of Li Dingguo, the best general of the Han people in the late Ming Dynasty!
In the ninth year of Shunzhi, Li Dingguo led his troops to attack the city of Guilin. Kong Youde had no choice but to commit suicide by drinking hatred, and his body was also beaten to ashes by Li Dingguo's command!
As a result, the lineage of King Dingnan was cut off, and the four vassals became the three vassals known to later generations!
However, at this time, Kong Youde was at the peak of his life!
Because of Huang Taiji's high regard, he personally led the most elite artillery battalion in the Qing Dynasty at this time. Even brothers Dorgon and Duduo had no choice but to win over him and did not dare to suppress him too much!
Kong Youde is indeed quite capable. His artillery battalion also purchased red cannons from Macau, but in less than half a year, his artillery battalion has taken shape!
These Han army flag artillerymen were all skilled in movements, precise in calibration, and very professional. However, in less than half an hour, the twenty red cannons had been debugged, and the dark muzzles were pointed directly at the Ming army charging at the foot of Shimen Mountain.
The only way to go!
On the other side, three thousand Han army flagbird gunners were also ready to attack at any time!
Dorgon couldn't help but nodded slightly!
Judging from his military appearance and combat power, he was such a hero. With just one glance, he felt that the reason why Huang Taiji used Kong Youde was absolutely correct!
In the past few years, within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji used Han ministers extensively and controlled many key military and political powers, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many Manchu Qing dignitaries, and there were many dark cases behind his back!
But on this point, Dorgon is rarely consistent with Huang Taiji!
'The capable ones go up, the mediocre ones go down!'
This is the most beneficial guarantee for the future development of the Qing Dynasty!
And Kong Youde is one of the beneficiaries!
"Brother, is this that person's treasure? I think it's nothing more than that? What's not good about learning? Why not learn from Liu Ruyi? Then do I still need the cavalry archery of the Eight Banners Army? Hum! I see,
That person has forgotten how his father conquered the world!" Duduo's resentment towards Huang Taiji could not be increased. Besides Liu Ruyi, Duduo hated Huang Taiji the most!
At this time, seeing Huang Taiji's artillery battalion and gun soldiers built with a lot of money, Duduo didn't like it no matter how he looked at it!
Dorgon can understand Huang Taiji's difficulties. Putting everything aside and not talking about interests, that fat man is definitely a hero!
Without his hard work, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not be as powerful as it is now!
Without his decisiveness and forbearance, Mongolia and North Korea would not have surrendered so quickly!
If it were like that, when the Qing army faced off against the Ming army, the outcome would still be a 50-50 split, but the Manchu dignitaries would never get the glory they have now!
Even he, Dorgon, might have to hide his capabilities and bide his time!
Dorgon did not answer Duo Duo's words, but walked up to a red cannon with great interest, carefully examined it, touched it personally, and felt the dark and cold barrel!
Dorgon has personally experienced the power of firearms many times!
Not to mention anything else, in the Battle of Jinan City and the Battle of Pinggu, it was precisely because of Liu Ruyi's despicable and insidious use of powerful firearms that Dorgon was hated twice in a row, but there was nothing he could do about it!
Now, the Qing army also has powerful firearms, which suddenly makes Dorgon feel more confident. With these treasures, the two sides are basically tied in terms of firearms. Even if Liu Ruyi has three heads and six arms, how can he
Confront these two white flag elites under his command?
Dorgon was suddenly looking forward to it!
He couldn't wait any longer. When the two armies were fighting, firearms against firearms, what would Liu Ruyi's expression be like?
What else can that guy do to resist the two white flags army under his command?
At this time, Kong Youde had finished his work. He quickly and cautiously approached Dorgon and said with a respectful smile: "Prince Rui, the artillery battalion has been debugged! As long as the Ming troops at the foot of the mountain dare to attack again, I will definitely let them go."
I know how powerful it is!”
Dorgon smiled and patted Kong Youde's shoulder lightly, "King Gongshun, you are very good! Very good! I am very optimistic about you in this battle! Don't worry, if you fight well in this battle! I, the king
I will go to the emperor in person to ask for merit for you!"
Kong Youde cursed secretly in his heart, but he had no choice but to lower his head humbly, "Thank you Prince Rui for your love, I will definitely die without mercy!"
Shimen Mountain, the brief peace between the Ming and Qing Dynasties was quickly broken!
Just after noon, the banners of the Ming army surged in the formation, and the battle formation changed. In a short time, Bai Guangen's Ji Zhen Army and Tang Tong's Miyun Army totaled about 12,000 people, like densely packed ants, with a fierce momentum.
Heading towards Shimen Mountain!
After the fierce battle in the morning, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted!
Bai Guangen and Tang Tong finally snatched the opportunity from Hong Chengchou in order to take the lead in attacking Shimen Mountain and win the battle!
The two of them may be vulnerable when playing head-on, but when it comes to attacking and picking peaches, they are experts!
At this time, Yang Guozhu, the oldest among the generals of the Ming Army, was unconscious. He was too powerful to convince the crowd and could not take charge of the overall situation. Wang Tingchen and Cao Bianjiao were "little general soldiers" in Liaodong, although they were named general soldiers.
leader, but it has a small territory and few troops. In the past, it always played the role of cannon fodder!
Although the situation improved somewhat after they made good friends with Liu Ruyi, at this time, Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army was defending the left wing and was not in the main camp!
Hu Dawei, Wang Tingchen, and Cao Bianjiao, even if they wanted to, they couldn't compete with the native Wu Sangui who dominated Liaodong!
Even Hong Chengchou and the supervisor Zhang Ruoqi had to seek Wu Sangui's opinion on many matters first!
Wu Sangui nodded, only then can things be implemented smoothly!
At this time, Bai Guangen and Tang Tong were able to win this 'fat job' precisely because of Wu Sangui's words!
"Quick! Sons! Cheer up for me! We are the first to take down Shimen Mountain! The imperial court and Governor Hong will definitely reward us! Wu Junmen will not treat us badly! Come on!"
Bai Guangen was dressed in armor and holding a sword. He shouted loudly at his "elites" and started to attack Shimen Mountain!
On the other side, Tang Tong also refused to give in and loudly ordered his Miyun Army to move forward, for fear of being overtaken by Bai Guangen!
Although Tang Tong and Bai Guangen both belong to the Jizhen clan, they appear to be harmonious on the surface, but secretly they have their own agendas!
Although Miyun is close to the capital, it is bitterly cold and has little oil and water. On the contrary, the Mongols and Qing troops often visit it, which is really thankless!
But Ji Town is different. The city has high walls and thick defenses. It is also close to the Mongolian tribes. Bai Guangen did a lot of transactions with the Mongols in private and made a lot of profits!
Tang Tong has always wanted to get a share of the pie, but how could Bai Guangen let him get his wish? Every time, he gave Tang Tong away with thousands of taels of silver!
This also made Tang Tong always hold a grudge against Bai Guangen!
At this time, the two of them were competing for this opportunity at the same time. How could Tang Tong not work hard?
Ten thousand and twenty thousand Ming troops rushed straight towards Shimen Mountain with their shouts of killing and the sound of mountains roaring like a tsunami!
But at this moment, when Bai Guangen and Tang Tongtong were having a sweet dream, twenty black cannon muzzles under Kong Youde's command on Shimen Mountain were already aimed at them!

Seeing that the Ming army had entered the shooting range, Kong Youde quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Prince Rui, the Ming army has entered the urn. Can you please give the order?"
Dorgon rolled his eyelids and said with a smile: "Haha, King Gongshun, I have said before that you are the emperor's slave, not my king's slave! Naturally, you have the final say about your people!"
"Huh?" Kong Youde broke into a cold sweat instantly!
This? If Dorgon didn't speak, how could he dare to make his own decisions...
"Plop", Kong Youde quickly knelt down on the ground, "Prince Rui, slave, slave to the Qing Dynasty..."
Before Kong Youde started to cry, Dorgon laughed and helped Kong Youde up, "I respect the loyalty of the king, how could I be unconscious? Just now, it was just a small talk between me and you.
It’s just a joke! Come on~~!”
Dorgon pointed at the ant-like Ming army at the foot of the mountain, "These Ming soldiers are in full force! I, the king, will hand them over to you!"
"Prince Rui..." Kong Youde was about to shed tears. Although he knew that Dorgon was training him, in this situation, Kong Youde was really speechless and almost fell to the ground, "Prince Rui, you, you just
Look at the slave's performance!"
After Kong Youde finished speaking, he shouted: "Here comes someone! Get ready~~~! Fire!!!"
"Yes!" The soldiers on the side hurriedly raised the command flag!
Twenty artillerymen lit torches one after another and lit the match ropes on the red cannon!
Dorgon couldn't help but smile as he watched the match rope burn and emit white smoke. His starling was so accurate at reading people!
It's a pity that this time, he has to make wedding clothes for others!
