Zhao Shizhen and Sun Chengzong were both summoned.

They all knew about the emperor's methods, but Meng Zhaoxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, did not know.

Zhu Youzhen was also excited for a while, and he ignored this matter.

As a result, this comical operation directly frightened the Ministry of Works, and he kowtowed to the ground repeatedly.

"Plop ......"

"The emperor is a god and a man, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live"

Meng Zhaoxiang didn't care what the steam engine was, he only cared about the emperor taking things out of thin air.

In ancient times, people were more superstitious, and being able to do such a miraculous thing shows that the emperor is not a mortal at all.

Thinking of the counterattack of the Beijing Division, the emperor's brave performance of killing not only made the rogues flee, but also made those corrupt officials have nowhere to hide.

Zhu Youzhen was already like a god in Meng Zhaoxiang's heart, he lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, not daring to look up at Zhu Youzhen at all.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen killed so many people, and he didn't kill everyone, and the officials who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, as long as they were not extremely evil, he almost opened the net.

"Aiqing is flat, this is not the Golden Palace, there is no need to be so gifted."

Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand to pull Meng Zhaoxiang up, and at this time, Zhao Shizhen was already completely attracted by the steam engine, wasn't this the thing he couldn't figure out?

"Your Majesty, Weichen asked to borrow a steam engine, and after half a year, the ironclad ship and the steam engine will be formed, please ask the emperor for permission."

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly:

"This is a sample for you, you can move it to the Ministry of Industry immediately, and in half a year, I will see the Iron Construction Battleship launched."

"Emperor Xie, Weichen retired."

Seeing the steam engine, Zhao Shizhen didn't care about anything, he wanted to study this thing well, and strive to launch the ironclad battleship as soon as possible.

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to delay them, and immediately ordered Jinyiwei to send the steam engine to the Ministry of Industry, and Meng Zhaoxiang and Zhao Shizhen then retired.

After they all left, Sun Chengzong got up and saluted:

"Your Majesty, you summoned Wei Chen, do you have any other instructions?"

Zhu Youzhen nodded:

"Well, there are very important things for you to do, how are the recruits recruited now, and is the supply of soldiers sufficient?"

Sun Chengzong:

"Your Majesty, according to your will, Weichen has recruited 100,000 recruits from the people, and the Thousand Households of the Shenji Battalion have been training them, these recruits are very able to endure hardships, and they are much stronger than those young master soldiers."

Zhu Youjian:

"Very good, you go back and prepare, let their soldiers divide into two routes, and send some supplies to Mengyuan's Longteng army and Liaodong's Qijia army."

"Wechen obeys."

Shengjing

Regent's Palace

"Report to the prince, emergency military situation."

Dolgon stood in front of a map of the Eastern Captivity, looking at the entire territory occupied by the Eastern Captivity, and was thinking about how to deal with the attack of the Ming Dynasty's three-way army.

Suddenly, the scout came in in a panic to report, and Dolgon scolded without replying:

"Tell me, what is so alarmed, what kind of system."

Scout on one knee:

"Oh, report to the prince, Su Qing Wang Haoge led the Zhenglan Banner to attack Liaoyang, and the whole army was annihilated, and the life and death of the Su Qing King are uncertain."

"Bang ......"

"How is that possible?"

Dolgon's hand shook, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, and he spun around and grabbed the scout by the neck, almost losing his mind.

"What do you say? Say it again. ”

Looking at Dorgon's blood-red eyes, the scout trembled and repeated what he had just said:

"The Zhenglan Banner is completely annihilated, and the life and death of the king of the Qing Dynasty are unknown"

Dolgon shuddered, waved his hand to the scout to retreat, and he turned to the Chongwu Temple.

Although Hauge was his biggest rival, he was also a fierce general in the Eastern Invasion.

The Zhenglan Banner is one of the backbones of the Eastern Invasion, and after the loss of the Zhenglan Banner, the strength of the Eastern Capture will be greatly reduced.

If you want to form a positive blue flag with the same strength as it is now, it will be almost impossible in 20 years.

There were only two or three hundred thousand people in the Eastern captivity, excluding men, women, and children, and there was no source of soldiers at all, and their boys over the age of 16 were on the battlefield as long as they were healthy.

Hauge had a great influence in the Eastern Captivity, he was the successor of Huang Taiji, and the prince who supported him was as strong as Dolgon, otherwise Dolgon would have taken the throne directly.

The Chongwu Hall was silent, whether it was Daishan or Abatai, whether it was Suppilon or Sony. At this time, they are all immersed in pain.

Those Han slaves who surrendered to the East were even more downcast, looking heartbroken, as if their own father had been killed.

Because most of the people, yesterday, did not believe Dorgon's words, and now that the captives have suffered a humiliating defeat, they do not know how to speak.

As the regent of the Eastern Exile, Dorgon still had to make a decision, and he looked around, everyone with their heads bowed and their morale very low.

Dolgon shook his head helplessly and said:

"Princes and princes, don't be so demoralized, we will lose on firearms, and now almost all the weapons of the Ming army are firearms.

And our Eight Banners are still very primitive tactics, we are not short of silver, but there is no place to buy firearms, after the Eight Imperial Merchants were killed, our Qing Dynasty not only lost the source of firearms, but also lost the supply of food.

Winter has come, and most of the Ming army are southerners, and they are definitely not as accustomed to the weather in Liaodong as we are.

Inform the cities to be strictly guarded, and when the snow falls, the firearms of the Ming army will be useless.

At that time, it was the day when I was ashamed of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and we wanted to kill the bright dog and recapture Liaoyang. ”

Thinking of the heavy snowfall, the eyes of the Eastern Capture Tartars of the Chongwu Hall lit up.

They seemed to see the Ming army frozen to death or the arquebus could not be ignited, and they could only let their Eight Banners army swing their knives and slash and kill.

Suppilon shook his fist and shouted:

"Yes, let's wait, wait until it snows heavily, and then fight back with all our might, kill the bright dog and recapture Liaoyang."

Before he could finish speaking, a young man walked in from outside the hall and immediately interrupted him.

"I can't wait, when did my Eight Banner Heavenly Soldiers fight such a humiliating defeat, their victory over the Zhenglan Banner will definitely be a loss of soldiers and trapping people.

Ben Belle is willing to lead the Zhengbai Banner to recover Liaoyang, and to set the yellow flag and the Zhenglan Banner for me, and ask the regent to give an order. ”

The person who came was Yue Tuo, the eldest son of Daishan, and he had just waited for the information that the Zhenglan Banner was wiped out and the whereabouts of the king were unknown, and he immediately rushed to Chongwu Palace.

The son was strong, and Dai Shan was so angry in his heart, but on this occasion, he couldn't stop it, he just glared at his son Yue Tuo.

The big traitor Kong Youde, thinking that the time had come for him to make meritorious contributions, he knelt down in front of Dolgon, and he was full of servants:

"Lord Wang, the minions want to ask for an order to fight, isn't the Ming army powerful in firearms, Kong Youde also has a firearms battalion, and the minions hope to share the worries and solve problems for the masters."

"Lord Wang, the slave is willing to follow Prince Kong to fight, please ask the regent for permission."

The person who spoke was another big traitor, it was Hong Chengchou.
