Chapter 149 The firepower of the Ming army is too fierce!
"The main reason is that although this kind of gun is very powerful and was supported by Emperor Wanli at the time, it is a pity that the civil servants did not like this weapon and no one supported it.
So the blueprints for this firecracker have been sealed. The army has never installed them on a large scale. Although today's craftsmen have blueprints, it is very difficult to manufacture them on a large scale!"
Kong Youde looked at Dorgon in front of him and said.
"Of course! Maybe the Ming Prince improved the manufacturing process and then concentrated all his efforts on making firearms. It's not impossible!"
Kong Youde pondered for a moment, looked at Dorgon in front of him and said.
"But there is a question, King Dodo, you said you encountered at least a hundred cannons??"
Kong Youde looked at Duduo in front of him with a hint of hesitation in his eyes and asked.
"Not bad! Maybe there are more! And these cannons seem to be on wheels! They are a little different from ordinary cannons!"
Duduo said with a serious face to Kong Youde in front of him.
After listening to Duduo's words, Kong Youde showed a wry smile in his eyes, and said to Duoergon, who had a questioning look in his eyes: "Your Majesty! I can't understand the technical level of the Ming army now.
Already.
At least the Ming army did not have wheeled cannons before, and it is not that easy to make cannons. A hundred cannons would scare people to death! I can’t understand it!
If it is true as King Duduo said, then King Duduo did not lose unjustly! With so many cannons and muskets, this power is simply..."
Kong Youde sighed slightly, with a look of wonder in his eyes.
He was a little curious, how did the Ming prince come up with so many guns?
The difficulty of manufacturing was so high that although they took away almost all the craftsmen in Beijing, they still wanted to manufacture so many guns in a short time.
This level of difficulty is really too high.
At least Kong Youde couldn't think of a way to make it.
"Can we ever build a cannon with wheels??"
Dorgon asked Kong Youde at the side with curiosity in his eyes.
"have no idea!"
Kong Youde pondered for a moment, looked at Dorgon in front of him and said: "We have to find as much of their cannon as possible. I want to know how their cannon is cast and what's going on with the wheels.
If I find this, maybe I have a chance to develop such a cannon!"
"Okay! I will capture a cannon for you later!"
Duduo said directly to Kong Youde in front of him.
After finishing speaking, Duduo said with emotion to Dorgon on the side: "Brother Wang, the firepower of this Ming army is really too fierce! But their number is not large, I feel that this is their Achilles' heel
, how about we fight there first on a large scale??"
Duduo pondered for a moment, looked at Dorgon in front of him and said.
"Fight him? What are you trying to do??"
The expression on Dorgon's face remained unchanged, and he calmly asked Duduo in front of him.
Duduo was slightly startled, hesitant, and looked at Dorgon in front of him.
"Take your time. Now their musketry unit has taken shape and is not so easy to annihilate! And we don't know how many muskets and artillery they have now. What if they have already started to equip all the troops?
??”
Dorgon said calmly to Duduo in front of him.
"Our current goal is still Li Zicheng, to kill Li Zicheng and then digest the entire northern land. No matter what, we have made a lot of money by entering the customs this time! From every angle, it is like this!"
Dorgon smiled slightly and said to Duduo in front of him.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After hearing Dorgon's words, Duduo had a look of surprise on his face and said to Dorgon in front of him.
Kong Youde on the side also saluted Dorgon in front of him.
At this time, Dorgon in front of him continued: "It is difficult for us to invade the south when facing the Ming Dynasty. Although the north of the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, the south has always been intact and has basically not suffered any war.
Even if we go south, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take advantage of it. After all, Zuo Liangyu still has more than 200,000 troops under his command! Coupled with the power of the Ming Prince, this is not something to be trifled with. Let's fight against the Qing Dynasty
We cannot afford this kind of war of attrition! This will drain us dry!"
Dorgon's eyes flashed with light.
"Duduo, take a rest and continue to lead the troops to suppress the intruders!"
Dorgon said to Duduo who was standing aside.
"Yes! Brother Wang!"
Duduo said respectfully to Dorgon in front of him.
With that said, Duduo turned and left. In this battle, Zhengbai Banner really suffered a lot of losses, but at the moment, many Zhengbai Banner's family members have not moved here yet.
Duduo sighed slightly in his heart.
"Kong Youde!"
"The slave is here!"
Kong Youde on the side quickly saluted Dorgon in front of him.
"Speed up the time and continue to develop firearms! Without firearms, it will be difficult for us to fight against the Ming Prince's army!"
Dorgon said to Kong Youde in front of him with a serious expression.
"I will do my best!"
Kong Youde said respectfully to Dorgon in front of him.
Just when Dorgon was talking to Kong Youde.
At this time, on the other side.
"The Ming Prince's army is actually so strong???"
Li Zicheng looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him with some surprise.
"According to the news that our spies brought back from the Jiangnan area and the news that came out in Beijing, this is indeed the case!"
Niu Jinxing said to Li Zicheng in front of him.
“Then will Prince Ming still agree to cooperate with us??”
There was a trace of hesitation on Li Zicheng's face, he looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him and said.
"The Ming Dynasty's army has such powerful firearms, so they shouldn't agree to our request for cooperation? After all, they are fully capable of annihilating us and the Qing army together. In that case..."
"The king is overly concerned!"
With a smile on his face, Niu Jinxing said to Li Zicheng in front of him: "The firearms of the Ming Dynasty's army are indeed powerful, but have you ever thought that they only sent such an army of ten thousand people?"
Why not send some out? If there are more people, I am afraid that Duduo will not be able to return to Beijing!"
Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment when he heard Niu Jinxing's words.
At this time, Niu Jinxing continued to say to Li Zicheng in front of him: "The best explanation at present is that almost all the powerful firearms under the Ming Prince are concentrated in the hands of this First Guards Army!
The reason is to fight a beautiful battle! Create an illusion that their army is strong!"
Hearing this, Li Zicheng's eyes showed a look of surprise.
"Moreover, Your Majesty, this prince's initiative to attack is also sending us a signal, helping us contain part of the Qing Dynasty's power!"
