On May 29th of the third year of Chongzhen, the day was not easy to sum up in one sentence and was called everything unsuitable, and the battle report coming from the front seemed to prove this. Although Huang Taiji had already read the Ming Dynasty Credentials and understood
All opportunities for negotiation were gone, but no one would have thought that the war would break out so quickly. You must know that Tong Yangxing and Tong E's consort were only discovered at the city gate in the early morning of May 25th. If it weren't for
He has a sign on his chest and no one can really recognize him. Damn it, this Ming Dynasty is nothing! It’s okay if you accept our gifts and don’t agree to peace talks, how can you treat me like this in the Qing Dynasty?
Envoy? What about the scholars who are full of knowledge in their court? Don’t they know that the envoys will not be killed when the two countries are fighting? Yes, the Ming Dynasty did not kill Tong E’s consort. He was still holding his breath when he was carried into the palace, but
What's the use of sending a pig back except to scare a large number of Gegebeles?
"My dear friends, please give me an idea as soon as possible!" Although Huang Taiji tried hard to maintain the emperor's dignity, his tone unconsciously revealed the anxiety in his heart.
Huang Taiji did have a reason to be anxious. If the almighty Lord Fan had not proposed the use of homing pigeons earlier, he would have had to wait until the Ming army reached Shenyang City before he had time to react. On the twenty-fifth day, the Qing Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials
On the night when they angrily cursed the shameless Ming Dynasty due to Tong E's tragic experience, thirty military observers stationed in Shalingyi suddenly received an expulsion order telling them that the Ming Dynasty had decided to send troops to Liaodong. Contrary to everyone's expectations, this time
The commander-in-chief of the Ming army was still the fat man from Shanhaiguan, and the reason he brought back for the war was no reason! The original sentence that can make people angry is, do you need a reason to regain your homeland?
But Huang Taiji did not panic because of this. What made him proud was that he had the all-powerful Lord Fan beside him. Fortunately, this resourceful military advisor proposed the method of all people becoming soldiers at the beginning, which enabled the Qing Dynasty to achieve great success in just one year.
He has recruited 700,000 warriors, which does not include the servants he picked up for himself when sending laborers to the Ming Dynasty. While sending the envoy, Lord Fan also asked Mang Gurtai and Aba just in case.
Tai led his 300,000 elite soldiers, and with the help of Li Yongfang and his 120,000 servants, began to set up defenses along the Sancha River. He believed that these warriors equipped with the best bows and arrows and the latest firearms would cause the invading Ming army to suffer
Heavy damage.
Another piece of bad news came on the night of May 26th. The Anshan base that Mr. Fan had spent so much effort to build had been completely destroyed! The person who sent this message was the Haizhou Guard Chief. When they felt the violent vibration, they
When we rushed over, the entrance was already in ruins. None of the five Niulu Qing warriors stationed in Anshan were spared. All the craftsmen were missing. Not to mention the people in the city, not even a single completed brick or stone could be found.
And the 50,000 kilograms of gunpowder that had not been transported away in time should be the culprit. The Haizhou Guards' rescue troops searched a fifty-mile radius and found no trace of the enemy. The explanation given was that the explosion might have been caused by negligence due to rush to work. But Fan
Your Excellency, you can see through the trick at a glance. What kind of oversight? I have repeatedly told you that the number of troops defending the gunpowder depot must not be less than two Niulu at any time. Before I came back with Amin to report on my work, I specially sent dozens of additional water trucks.
, if this situation is on fire, what else can it be if it is not man-made? As for the fact that no enemy traces were found, it should be Lu Xiangsheng who took action. He is an expert in special operations! Fortunately, we have built more than ten hot air ships before this.
The airship was transported to Shenyang. When these air overlords appear, no matter how powerful their army is, they will suffer a devastating blow!
Just waiting for Mr. Fan to report the results of his whole day's pondering, another incident happened in the north. At noon on May 27th, a flying pigeon sent a message to Yongning Fort. The Ming army invaded Zhenbeiguan and Zhenyi Fort. After holding on for half a day, they were already there. fell into the hands of the enemy. According to reliable intelligence, the enemy general responsible for commanding this battle was none other than Lu Xiangsheng, who was feared by Mr. Fan! At the same time, the report also stated that the Horqin tribe on the grassland swore allegiance to the Ming Dynasty and sent 150,000 troops as if possessed. Attack Xin'an Pass fiercely. If there were no gods to help, when the carrier pigeon flew to Shenyang, Yongning Fort, including Yongning Fort, would have fallen!
Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! After receiving the report, Huang Taiji kept comforting himself, "Aren't there just a few small villages? Even if we lose the Liaohai and Tieling guards, it's not a big deal. I have already prepared heavy troops in Fushun. Dorgon Although He Duduo is not very obedient, the 150,000 elites and 80,000 servants led by them will definitely stand up when the Qing Dynasty is in danger. As long as Fushun is not lost, then Shenyang will be as safe as Mount Tai. Even the Qing Dynasty will not be destroyed!
Almost at the same time as the news from Yongning Fort came, the carrier pigeon from Xiong Yueyi on the southern front also arrived. When the 60,000 Ming army left Jinzhou, the bold Zhang Polu obviously did not take the Qing Dynasty into consideration, and at the same time launched a Attack on Guifu Fort, Luangu Pass and Fuzhou Guards! When Huang Taiji saw this battle report, he laughed loudly. It seems that the Qing Dynasty will not be destroyed! That Ming general thought he was Liu Bei? It's so long that it exceeds the 700-mile company camp! He thinks that the Qing Dynasty wants to give up that land, so there is no backup? Don't think that only Lu Xun can burn the company camp. Our southern defense line is indestructible Yes! That's the hole I, the Qing Dynasty, dug for you. The people responsible for the garrison are not only the 100,000 troops under Prince Daishan, but also the two generals, Monk Zu Dashou and Kexi, who are most familiar with the tactics of your Ming army, and the firearms they brought. camp!
After laughing, Huang Taiji suddenly came to his senses. Damn, this is an encirclement! If they go straight out of Shanhaiguan, our Qing Dynasty has a 90% chance of winning against the attack and forcing them to the negotiation table; if only two people come There's nothing wrong with that route. When we can't defend ourselves anymore, I'm 60% certain to lead my tribe back to the deep mountains and old forests, but it's really too much to do three routes at the same time. If nothing else, I just encountered it when I left the customs last time. The Ming army's style of play is really uncomfortable. Even the Qing Dynasty knows about the development of firearms. Will the Ming Dynasty give up this winning weapon after they have tasted the benefits? No wonder Military Master Fan said that the Anshan base was given to Destroyed, now how long can our Qing Dynasty survive without supplies and rely on inventory? Those shameless cowards, if they have the ability, they will give up those crooked weapons and compete with our Qing Dynasty warriors on the battlefield with real swords and real spears. Let’s see. I won't beat them to a pulp!
"Master, in my opinion, our first priority now is to resume the production of gunpowder as soon as possible!" Master Fan is Master Fan. He knows that bows, horses and cavalry cannot have an advantage in the face of hot weapons. If he cannot fight with the enemy The blow that the logistics suffered when entering the customs for the first time will be repeated in Liaodong.
"What the military advisor said is true, but..." Huang Taiji felt regretful for the first time in his life. If I had known that those Kit Kat Yin skills that I originally looked down upon were so useful, why would I still use them in the first place? What kind of erotic paintings did Xi Yi paint? Not only has his health deteriorated, but it has also affected state affairs! Alas...it's too late to regret it. Without craftsmen, what can I do to resume production?
"Your Majesty, I have a countermeasure that may temporarily relieve the urgent need!" What happened to Tong Yangxing made Hong Chengchou completely give up the idea of returning to the Ming Dynasty to continue to deceive Chongzhen. He was born and raised in Liaodong, and it is said that he got instructions from the gods to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan.
, but he died after one mission. I was a leading general. Not only did I surrender to the enemy and betray my country, but I also betrayed tens of thousands of my subordinates. If I went back, the outcome would definitely be worse than the worst! So I just followed the Tatars.
Be the second minister of the Qing Dynasty!
The reason why Hong Chengchou did not lead the garrison with others was not because he was not trusted. It was precisely because he performed best among all the Han banner generals that he was left to help defend Shengjing. Seeing that he stood up at this time, Huang Taiji was overjoyed and said: "Hong Chengchou
Come quickly, sir!"
Hong Chengchou kowtowed and said: "In my opinion, even if the war is going on now, our army's strength is still enough to cope with it. The difficulty lies in the lack of strength after entering the stalemate stage. Therefore, I would like to ask your majesty whether some of the Han military flags can be transferred.
Firearms battalion officers and soldiers, let them help with production?"
"That's right!" That's right, why didn't I think of this? We Manchurian warriors disdain things, but the Han military flag understands them. They have been using those things for many years, but they still don't know how to make gunpowder?
"Inappropriate!" Ning Wanwo, a scholar from Neihongwenyuan, suddenly jumped out and poured cold water on him: "As far as I know, although the generals of the Han army flags know how to use gunpowder, they don't know the specific ratio of gunpowder. Unless the emperor can first issue an edict to me,
The Qing Dynasty has found people who know the entire process, otherwise temporarily transferring them will be useless even if it does not affect the combat effectiveness of our army."
Huang Taiji responded simply and immediately: "I will draw up the decree now! I think our Qing Dynasty is full of talented people, and I will definitely get something from the heavy reward!"
"Master, this slave also knows this formula!" Mr. Fan really wasn't hiding his secrets before. How could he, a political elite who is busy getting promoted and making a fortune in later generations, take such a trivial matter as the production of black powder to his heart? What if these days?
If there was an airplane, he would not mind abandoning his maternal ancestors and joining the other side if there was an airplane. Unfortunately, hot air balloons cannot fly that far. When his life is threatened, it really reminds him of the phrase that will be familiar to future generations.
The recipe comes.
"Write quickly, military advisor!" Look at my military advisor. Not only can I govern the country, but I also understand these heretical things. As long as I get through this, my Qing Dynasty, which is full of talents, will not be able to find a chance to win over that person.
Will the Ming Dynasty replace it?
"May I ask the military advisor, where can I find this saltpeter?" Looking at the formula Huang Taiji handed me, Ning Wan was in trouble. Charcoal was not an issue, but sulfur was also easy to find. Ning University, a scholar with a mysophobia, often took a bath.
That thing was added to the water. But it would be a bit difficult for a scholar like him to know what saltpeter is used for.
"As far as I know, there should be saltpeter in the medicine shop. Master, please issue an edict to classify this saltpeter as military supplies and strictly prohibit anyone from hiding it privately!" People always behave differently when faced with threats, although Mr. Fan
I still have to erect monuments and biographies for my two ancestors in future generations, but I also took the time to read some novels and learned that saltpeter can also cure diseases. Since I couldn't think of another way to obtain a large amount of saltpeter, I had no choice but to visit a medicine shop.
"Declaration! In our Qing Dynasty, from the princes and nobles to the traders and foot soldiers, anyone who dares to secretly hide a coin of saltpeter will be executed!" After saying this, Huang Taiji stood up and said to the ministers: "Now the most difficult problem of our Qing Dynasty has been
Now that we have solved it, I hope that all my dear friends will work together with me to resist the attack of the shameless Ming Dynasty!"
