"It should be." Shen Zhiyuan nodded vigorously and said, "One year...... It is estimated that Dorgon will not last more than a year. ”

"A year?" Qian Qiaogong was a little disappointed, it had been too long, but he immediately became happy again, hope is better than no hope, "Then what preparations should we make next?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan stared at Qian Qiaogong's eyes and said, "Wait...... We only train and don't do anything else. ”

"Nothing?"

"Yes, only by doing nothing can you have a life and wait until this opportunity arises."

Qian Qiaogong hesitated and said, "This is inevitably too negative, right?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan looked at Qian Qiaogong and said, "Do you really think that they reuse us because they are relieved of the two of us?" The firearms of the recruits of the second battalion have not yet been distributed, and the current training is still appropriated from the old battalion. Also, which of the second battalion's food and grass supplies exceeded five days? Little money, you're still young...... They are guarding us from the bones! ”

Qian Qiaogong glared angrily at this shameless one.

……。

Prince Rui's Palace.

Dolgon's freshly washed face looked haggard and old.

But the eyes on his face that are not angry and arrogant are still breathtaking.

As if to tell the world that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, as long as Lao Tzu is willing, then he can work for another twenty years.

"What's the news from the south?"

Gang Lin replied: "Wu Song Shui Shi and Zheng Sen Shui Shi fought and both were defeated...... However, after that, Wu Zheng set off from Hangzhou Bay and rushed to the battlefield in person, and the battle stopped. ”

Dolgon frowned and said, "It's all fighting, can you still take it?" ”

Ganglin said cautiously: "Hao Shangjiu, the chief soldier of Chaozhou, attacked Jieyang when Zheng Sen led his division to fight with Wusongshui's division and the troops were empty...... Thinking that Zheng Sen was afraid of being hit in the back and didn't want to fight on both sides, he disputed and ceased war with Wu. ”

Dorgon was furious: "This bastard thing has ruined the king's great affairs...... Damn it! ”

Ganglin was startled, and hurriedly responded: "The minister will pass on the meaning of the prince to Li Chengdong and deal with Hao Shangjiu." ”

Dorgon slowly calmed down and waved his hand, "It's just useless...... The matter of the south, put it aside for the time being, there is no need to rush. ”

"Yes."

"In this way, that little Nanban escaped again?" Dolgon said leisurely.

Gang Lin really didn't dare to answer this, because he heard the unbearable sense of loss in Dolgon's words.

"How is Zhu Cixuan now?"

"Back to the prince's words, Zhu Cixuan has officially assumed the position of Zong Zhengqing...... He sent news that he was willing to cooperate with our side to strike at any place in the 11 prefectures ......in eastern Zhejiang. ”

"Wait." Dolgon glanced at Ganglin suspiciously, "Didn't you say before that he was willing to surrender to this king?" How did it become a cooperation with us? ”

Gang Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe he has a lot of power in his hands and has other thoughts...... The emperor of the Yixing Dynasty is a woman, which is a congenital defect, Zhu Cixuan is a prince, and now he is in charge of Zongzheng Temple, so he wants to think about that position. ”

"Shameless villain!"

"Does the prince want to send a message of reprimand?"

"Reprimand!" Dolgon said impatiently, "This kind of wavering villain, this king has no intention of taking ...... Since he has a personal grudge with Wu Zheng, he might as well use it, and it is not too late to clean him up after he is really settled on Jiangnan. ”

"The prince is wise."

"Is there any news of Shen Zhiyuan coming from Ju'er?"

"It's ......." Ganglin hesitated.

"Speak!"

"Gege does have news from Shen Zhiyuan, but almost all of them are trivial ......."

Hearing this, Dolgon sighed slightly, "Sure enough, it's a girl who is outgoing...... Maybe there is news about the eyeliner arranged in General Luanyi's mansion? ”

"Yes." Gang Lin replied simply this time, "Shen Wenkui, a bachelor of Hongwen Academy, Chen Mingxia, a scholar of the Secretarial Academy, and others have been closely associated with the forehead these days, and they should have the intention of scheming...... Dare to ask the prince, but do you want to deal with it categorically? ”

Dolgon thought for a moment and said, "Is there any movement in the south of the fine work placed in the capital?" ”

Gang Lin said: "It's strange to say, since a few killings, this group of people suddenly disappeared...... In the past month, there has been no outcropping, I'm afraid that I can't get a foothold and flee back to the south bank, right? ”

"Shen Zhiyuan hasn't seen these people?"

"These days, I have been busy training recruits in Gongbei City, except for Shen Wenkui, Chen Mingxia and other people in my court, I only drink and sleep with Qian Qiaogong."

Dolgon closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Shen Wenkui, Chen Mingxia and the others don't need to move first, just monitor them closely...... If they were moved, Wu Zheng would not have sent someone. Just wait for the rabbit and hunt down the meticulous work close to Shen Zhiyuan. As long as Shen Zhiyuan can't communicate with the south, after a while, he will change. ”

"Yes."

Dorgon took a bowl of medicine from the maid's hand, drank it in one gulp, and then threw the bowl to the ground and fell apart.

"Tell Zhu Cixuan and let him find a way to steal the secrets of forging new muskets and artillery from the military workshop in Songjiang Prefecture, if not, then spend money to buy muskets and artillery...... Ordered him to hurry up, the six battalions of the new army were all waiting for use. ”

"Yes,......。" Ganglin wanted to speak and stopped, swallowing and spitting.

Dolgon squinted his eyes and said, "What's the matter, speak!" ”

"Lord Wang, with such a number of muskets and artillery, I'm afraid Zhu Cixuan can't do it...... Besides, we don't have that much silver, do we? ”

Dolgon said: "Didn't this king take a million taels from his private treasury and fill it with military funds? ”

Ganglin said: "Lord Wang, 36,000 new troops, one musket is worth sixty or seventy taels, and one shot per person is more than 2 million...... This is not counting artillery, besides, Wu Zheng in the south is holding a musket, a strange commodity, and each purchase is not more than 3,000 rods, and the price is higher than the price. ”

Dolgon said, "In our own workshop, how is the progress of the craftsmen copying the new muskets?" ”

Gang Lin shook his head and said: "There are some imitations, but the shape is not the same, according to the craftsman, the main thing is that the iron used for the barrel cannot reach the toughness of the south, and the consequence is that the continuous firing cannot exceed six times, and after firing twice at the same time, the barrel needs to be cleaned, otherwise it is easy to explode." ”

Dolgon said: "Nonsense, our army has been making muskets for more than ten years, is it not as good as before?" ”

Gang Lin hurriedly explained: "The prince is angry, the gun we made before has a heavy barrel, so it is naturally not easy to explode, but now the new musket is more than a point thick in order to carry light weight and thin barrel." ”

Dolgon frowned and said, "This king sometimes wonders how this little southern barbarian did it...... Is it really as rumored that he is a genius? ”

Ganglin didn't dare to answer again.

"Then let Zhu Cixuan hurry up!" Dolgon said in a deep voice, "As for the silver, let the Jin merchants donate some more." ”
