Chapter 153: Voerdan
"This rebellious soldier is nothing more than that, but this artillery is very sophisticated. It seems that the fourth child's suggestion is good, but it still needs to cast more new cannons in order to restrain Chu Wei. ”
Kangxi held the clairvoyant mirror, frowning and looking at the Pingjing Pass where the battle was raging, but his mind couldn't help but spread, and he gradually thought about something deeper.
Maybe it's because of his age, Kangxi at this time always thinks of some of the past and those former opponents. When he conquered Galdan that year, the opponent's guns gave Kangxi a great shock, and those muskets and artillery from more distant places were far superior to the equipment of the Qing army at that time, which made him fearful.
Kangxi was not such a dim-witted king, but was very good at learning new things, especially in the field of firearms, especially in the field of firearms, and in his garden, among some of the gifts brought by the envoys of Western countries, there were the most advanced flintlock pistols and artillery of the present era.
It is precisely because he understands the power of these muskets and artillery that Kangxi repeatedly restricts the development of firearms, because he understands a very profound truth, that is, if the development of muskets and artillery is allowed to be laid, then in terms of the number of Han people, the Eight Banners cannot be suppressed at all, so especially for the development of firearms in the green camp, it is even more suspicious.
Now seeing the Fu Han army on the city wall, shooting with flintlock pistols, Kangxi has some hidden worries in his heart, although he doesn't understand how a small green battalion guerrilla has developed such a huge firearms force, but he understands one thing, that is, while the Fu Han army is still weak at the moment, he must go all out to destroy it in order to maintain the stability of the Qing Dynasty.
"If the Qing army is just like this, our army doesn't need to worry at all."
In the smoke, Ning Zuyi smashed his mouth, he did not underestimate the Qing army below, but because Ning Zuyi's understanding of the meaning of the garrison had gone deep into a very detailed aspect, even if it was a company commander at the bottom of the first garrison division, Ning Zuyi had seen it at least once.
Although the Qing army's offensive at this time seemed to be more and more intense, in Ning Zuyi's eyes, it was not the same at all, from the sparseness of the gunfire, he could feel the Qing army's will to fight and direction, if it was really a desperate attack, then the situation would not be like this at all.
"It seems that this battle will drag on for a long time, and I don't know what will happen to the major general." It was not only Ning Zuyi who saw the intentions of the Qing army, but also the new chief of staff Zheng Yuanqing, after Gao Yuan was transferred, the commander of the first regiment directly took over the vacant post of chief of staff.
For the soldiers who are currently following Ning Yu southward, they will be more accustomed to being called the Grand Duke, and for these generals who are still in Huguang, they prefer to call the former major general, although this young general is now the Duke of Hanyang.
Ning Zuyi heard what Zheng Yuanqing said, and a smile appeared on his face, "The young general's side naturally doesn't need us to worry, most of the green battalions in the south are just local chickens and dogs, except for the high position and some ability, other major generals can be broken." ”
This touting is not in line with Ning Zuyi's usual low-key image, but in Zheng Yuanqing's eyes, the same is true in the eyes of Ning Yu, Ning Yu's repeated victories have erected an invincible image in the hearts of the middle and upper echelons of the Fu Han Army, they worship this young man and are more willing to fight for this young man.
"Well, by the way, don't pile up shells and other items in the pass now to prevent them from being destroyed by the Qing artillery." Ning Zuyi is quite meticulous in terms of warfare, "After this battle is fought, artillery is the key. ”
Zheng Yuanqing bowed his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "According to the news from Wuchang, the output of my gun workshop has reached a bottleneck, and there will be no new supply of guns in the short term. ”
"It's okay, it won't have any impact in a short time, now it's not just us defending, the Qing army is also dragging mud and water, presumably Kangxi is still waiting for news from Cha Bina."
Ning Zuyi clenched the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and muttered: "If Cha Bina can capture Jiujiang, then Wuchang will be in danger, and it will be meaningless for our army to garrison this place at that time." Kangxi has a good abacus, but he doesn't want to think about it, what will Zha Bina do to attack Jiujiang? ”
"It's nothing more than waiting, waiting for whose chess pieces to come alive first, if the young general wins, I'm afraid Kangxi won't be able to bear it."
"What if I lose?" Zheng Yuanqing said with a smile.
"If we lose, we must be prepared to endure hardships here!"
Having said that, Ning Zuyi's eyes were a little eager to try.
Now this Kangxi is indeed old, so old that everyone seems to want to call Kangxi the catty, but he is still not the so-called saint.

"Slave Fu Erdan knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
A middle-aged man in his early forties, wearing armor, knelt down in front of Kangxi, and bowed three times and bowed nine times. His face was a little red, but the excitement in his eyes showed the person's heart.
Kangxi was reviewing the folds in the camp tent, drawing circles on it with a red pen from time to time, his mood was not affected by the war, and he said softly: "Fu Erdan, I haven't seen you for a few years?" ”
Fu Erdan knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, since the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, the slave was awarded the title of General Zhenwu by the emperor, the slave has been staying in Altai to conquer Dzungaria, and now I think about it has been four years since I saw the emperor's dragon face, the slave is really ashamed!" ”
"Let you stay in the northwest, let you go to make meritorious contributions, you also did a good job, captured Zai Sang and more than 100 other people, I am very happy in my heart! The man who dared to subdue the astonishing horse in front of me back then has become the pillar of my Qing Dynasty! ”
Emperor Kangxi seems to recall that scene back then, or in the forty-third year of Kangxi, when he was stationed in Zhengjiazhuang, Qi County, and inspected the cavalry shooting of the guards of Taiyuan City in front of the palace.
At that time, Kangxi was also very happy, and directly sent a message to reward Fu Erdan, and also rewarded him with a mink fur coat, and promoted Fu Erdan to be the Mongolian capital of Zhengbaiqi.
Fu Erdan heard the kindness in Kangxi's words, his eyes were a little red, and he cried: "How can the slave be virtuous, let the emperor remember it in his heart, now that twenty years have passed, the slave is willing to make new contributions to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty!" ”
Just as the monarch and the ministers were getting along, a first-class imperial guard walked in quickly from outside the tent and handed over a letter.
After a while, Kangxi closed the recital in his hand, but his face was a little more ugly, this recital was the news about Ning Yu's victory, although the content was not detailed, but it had already made Kangxi aware of the crisis.
Kangxi still knows a lot about his position, and he can be called a famous general in the world in many aspects, and he is also a rare outstanding talent in the Eight Banners, but even this person has become the defeated general of Ning Yu's subordinates, which shows a very serious problem, and the current talent of the Qing army has also been disconnected.
So can this Fu Erdan take on the heavy responsibility?
