Hearing Yinxiang's statement, Yinzhen's expression moved, and the churning chess pieces in his hand stopped, and then said in a low voice: "Thirteen, don't you know how hot that seat is now?" ”

Yinxiang hurriedly said: "Because of this, the fourth brother should prepare in advance, if the overall situation changes, the fourth brother can also come out to help the society and protect my Qing Dynasty!" ”

Yin Zhen was silent for a long time before he spoke: "If there is really such a day, I will naturally share my worries for Huang Ama, how can those who do great things only care about their own blessings and misfortunes.....

"Thirteenth brother, if there is really such a day, I still need to rely on you a lot!"

"Fourth brother, you and I are brothers, there is no need to say more."

.......

The two talked happily, so they instructed the slave and maid to remove the chessboard, and a few good dishes were brought up, with the old flower carvings of Shaoxing, and they began to drink.

"Since the fourth brother took charge of the firearms battalion of the Beijing Division, it is not for nothing, at least a few Westerners who are really capable have been found." Yin Zhen's face was slightly complacent.

"There are some Westerners in the palace now, such as Lang Shining, who are also quite knowledgeable, but this person who is good at guns doesn't seem to have heard of it." Yinxiang searched carefully in his mind, but he didn't find the slightest, and couldn't help but wonder a little more.

Yin Zhen smiled, "This person was originally recommended to me by Li Wei, named Pahlavi, it is said to be a Franco, originally an officer of their country, and it is said that he is also quite familiar with guns, so after knowing this person, I invited him to the firearms battalion with a lot of money to concentrate on developing firearms, so as to make guns that are better than Chu Shun." ”

"If this is the case, Huang Ama will definitely be happy, and the fourth brother will also be able to show his skills at that time." Yinxiang also showed a smile on his face, he has always admired this fourth brother very much.

While the two were laughing, an attendant walked in from outside the door, his expression was slightly solemn, and he looked at Yinxiang with some hesitation.

Yin Zhen waved his hand, "Say it, the thirteenth brother doesn't have to do anything." ”

Only then did the chamberlain speak: "News has come from the south, Fu Erdan's attack has been frustrated, and the emperor is very angry. By this time, the news of the annihilation of Voerdain's army had not yet had time to reach the north.

"Why the frustration?" Yin Zhen frowned, according to the news of the previous spies, Fu Erdan had already captured Xianning, and at that time he praised Fu Erdan, but in a blink of an eye, he encountered such a situation.

"It is said that Chu Shun placed more than a dozen artillery pieces on the Wuchang city wall, which was quite powerful, and General Fu did not carry artillery, so that several sieges of the city suffered heavy losses, but Chu Shun did not have too many casualties....."

Yin Zhen's face was a little ugly, and he muttered, "It's artillery again..... Hi! After speaking, he turned his head to Yinxiang and said solemnly: "Thirteenth brother, I have to go to the firearms camp again to take a look and see what the situation of this new artillery is now." ”

Yinxiang nodded and said in a low voice: "Then let's go and take a look!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The Qing court is going to be desperate, and the Fu Han army is even more desperate.

After completely removing Fu Erdan's threat, Ning Yu did not stop at all, he understood that although the current elbow and armpit problem had been lifted, it did not mean that Wuchang could sit back and relax.

Kangxi's 100,000 army is still like a sword, hanging above Wuchang's head, as long as the three passes of Yiyang are broken, then for Wuchang, there is basically no danger to defend behind. If you still defend Wuchang alone, I am afraid that sooner or later you will end up being defeated.

In this regard, Ning Yu's plan is to continue to adhere to the original countermeasures, return to the army in Jiujiang, and then lead the army to break through Anqing, so as to begin to threaten the back of the Qing army.

After Ning Yu cleaned up the battlefield, settled many matters in Wuchang City, and then led more than 400 personal guards to prepare to return to the Jiujiang Army, although this battle fought Fu Erdan cleanly, but the casualties of the Fu Han army also reached about 300 people, like Ning Yu's personal guards lost more than 70 people.

The current mode of war is like this, it is difficult to completely solve the Qing army by guns alone, and it is inevitable that hand-to-hand combat is still needed to solve it in the end, of course, this also has a lot to do with the equipment of the Fu Han army.

The reason is also very simple, compared with the solid bullet, the technology of the flowering bomb is not mature enough, it may be stronger than the Qing army, but it is not much stronger, and secondly, the cost and time to make the flowering bullet are also high after all, for these reasons, so the Fuhan army is not equipped with too many flowering bullets.

Ning Yu also took the time to go to the Hanyang Gun Factory to inspect it, at present, the entire Hanyang Gun Factory has been very different from before, a large number of equipment and personnel have been moved in, and the normal production process has begun, and a large number of new craftsmen and laborers, many of these craftsmen are collected from Hunan and Jiangxi, and they were sent here at the first time, so the production and manufacture of guns and guns have been greatly accelerated.

In particular, under the study of Lei Huozi and some other great craftsmen, the entire gun production process has been greatly optimized, and the barrel produced is more durable, so the new batch of flintlock guns has been much less faulty. On the artillery, it prolongs its life and reduces the occurrence of some bore accidents.

According to his experience, at present, the survival rate of all soldiers wearing armor in hand-to-hand combat has been greatly improved, and the production of plate armor itself is not complicated, especially when the current Fu Han army has developed a batch of hydraulic forging hammers, the speed of manufacturing plate armor is still very fast.

According to the opinion of the General Staff of the Fu Han Army, as long as the current armor rate of the Fu Han Army can be achieved to 70 percent, then with the current combat strength of the Fu Han Army, it can completely match the Qing army of seven to eight times, which is a large proportion, so it has also received strong support from many people in the army.

After listening to Ning Yu's idea, although his brows were a little furrowed, he still grinned and agreed, this will not be possible if he does not agree, after all, a steady stream of iron ore has been transported in, and there are a large number of human laborers, which makes Lei Huozi embarrassed to say nothing.

After dealing with all this, Ning Yu said goodbye to his father Ning Zhongyuan again before leaving, but this time the faces of the father and son were relaxed, but they were not so nervous, this was also Ning Yu's repeated victories, so that Ning Zhongyuan also began to believe that Jiang Xingyi said, and his heart would naturally be more cheerful.

Two days later, Ning Yu once again led his guards down the river and went straight to Jiujiang, but this time the speed was much faster, and it would take about two days to arrive, and his army had already set off on the way.
