Liaodong, Shenyang City.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair at the top of the main hall, his brows furrowed slightly, and quietly listened to Du Du and Sony's narration below.

The people of the Nurhachi family basically have a pair of eight-character eyebrows, and Huang Taiji is no exception, because he often frowns during this time, which makes his eight-character eyebrows particularly obvious.

The person who could make him frown frequently was no one other than Qin Chuan.

Now, Du Du and Sony are recounting their interview with Qin Chuan in the Hunhe.

100,000 coatings, 200,000 stone grain, 500,000 silver...... He has all of these, and the number of people who robbed Xuanda a few months ago is more than that.

However, it was impossible for him to give away these money, grains and people to Qin Chuan.

In that case, he, the Great Khan of the Great Golden Kingdom, would not have to be the one.

What's more, Qin Chuan wanted them to never step into the Guannei in the Dajin Kingdom, and it was even more impossible to agree to this condition.

Dajin is about to enter the Central Plains, and the Eight Banners will definitely point to the south of the Yangtze River.

It seems that Qin Chuan didn't plan to negotiate peace at all, otherwise he wouldn't have opened his mouth so much.

If there is no peace talks, then there will be no war.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of courage flashed in his eyes.

Du Du and Soni retreated after speaking, but no one in the hall spoke, and none of the banner masters, the eight ministers in charge, the civil officials, and the scholars went out to speak.

Now, no one dares to despise Qin Chuan, everyone knows that this little thief in the past is not an idle person, and he needs to be treated carefully.

Huang Taiji didn't expect the people below to come up with any good countermeasures, and after the silence only lasted for a moment, he coughed lightly and said unhurriedly: "Since Qin Chuan has no intention of discussing peace, we can just prepare for the war with our hearts." ”

"Xuanda's trip is thousands of miles away, and it is inconvenient to carry cannons on a long journey, so he took advantage of the battle between Datong and Ningwuguan, and also made the little thief arrogant, and he didn't take my Dajin Kingdom in his eyes at all."

"There are clouds in the Han book, and the arrogant army will be defeated, which is a good thing for my Dajin country."

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji paused, looked around, and suddenly looked straight, and said loudly: "Fan Wencheng." ”

"The minions are here."

Fan Wencheng, a scholar at Wenguan University, hurriedly left class and knelt on the ground.

"I order you to prepare a letter of state, Ben Khan wants to negotiate peace with the Ming Emperor, take the Daling River as the boundary, do not invade each other, and my Dajin State is willing to return part of the population plundered by Xuanda, and help the Ming Dynasty contain the forces of Qinchuan north to the Hetao."

Hearing this, there was a slight commotion in the hall, but it quickly calmed down.

"Huh."

Fan Wencheng received the order, flapped his sleeves and slowly retreated to his original position.

Huang Taiji shouted loudly again: "Tong Yangxing, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming." ”

"The minions are here."

Tong Yangxing, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming also hurriedly went out of work and knelt down on one knee with their hands.

"Order you to immediately expand the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion and the Tianyou Army, you can requisition the banners of the Han people and the clothed minions, the Tianyou Army can be expanded to 30,000 people, Kong Youde Geng Zhongming, you two each lead 15,000 troops, step up drills, don't live up to the high hopes of Ben Khan."

"Tong Yangxing, I order you to lead a battalion of Wuzhen Chaoha, and transfer forty red-coated cannons from the towns of the western Liaoning defense line, and the strength is subject to firearms."

"Huh."

"Great Khan Shengming! Slaves will live up to the great Khan's high hopes. ”

Tong Yangxing, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming hurriedly thanked them, and then stood up at the same time, bowing their heads and retreating.

"Sony, I order you to prepare two letters of state to go to the Khalkha Ministry to find the Tu Khan and the Chechen Khan to negotiate peace, and my Dajin Kingdom is willing to make friends with the two khans forever, attack and defend the alliance, and jointly resist the northward movement of Qinchuan."

"Huh."

"Dolgon, Azig, order the two of you to lead 5,000 troops to meet the Tumut tribe and temporarily place their troops in the area of Kashketeng in the Korqin tribe."

"After the placement is complete, the two of you can bypass the front set and search for the Eight Great Fortunes of Ezhe and Lin Dan Khan in the direction of the back set, and bring them back."

"If you can't bring it back...... Just find a way to bring back the heirloom jade seal and the Maha Kala Golden Buddha in the hands of Ezhe, you wait and remember, be sure to talk about these two things to bring. ”

"You must be cautious on this trip, do not engage Qin Chuan head-on, and stay away from this person's soldiers and horses as much as possible."

"Huh."

"The Great Khan Shengming."

Dorgon and Azig also hurriedly took their orders and retreated.

"The people will obey." Hot e-books

After the arrangements were made, Huang Taiji said with a straight face: "From now on, I hope you will prepare more grain and grass, practice diligently, and in the spring of next year, my Dajin Kingdom will exhaust its elite to eliminate the Qin thieves in one fell swoop and subdue the Qiantao area." ”

"The Great Khan Shengming."

……

On the second day, outside the city of Shenyang, the heavily guarded Wuzhen Chaoha battalion was stationed.

Cao Zhenyan, the instructor of Dajin Guo's forehead Tong Yang and Wuzhen Chaoha, led a group of craftsmen to wait outside the camp gate in the cold wind, and after seeing a bright yellow Daxu coming towards the camp gate from a distance, they knelt down one after another.

That was Huang Taiji's inspection of Wuzhen Chaoha's camp.

"Minions greet the Great Khan."

When Huang Taiji, who was riding a horse under Daxu, arrived at the camp gate, Tong Yangxing and the others shouted respectfully.

"Let's all be flat."

Huang Taiji waved his hand, then turned over and dismounted, and walked in front of Tong Yangxing.

"Let's go, take Ben Khan to see how the red-coated cannon is cast."

"The slave takes the order, the Great Khan, please."

Under the escort of the guards, Huang Taiji, Tong Yangxing and others entered the camp and went straight to the cannon foundry.

The city of Shenyang is not big, and there is no place in the city, so Huang Taiji simply placed the cannon factory outside the city, surrounded by fences and arrow towers on all sides, and guarded by heavy soldiers day and night.

This is also the station of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion, where most of the training of artillerymen and gunners is carried out, and the group of cannon craftsmen brought by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, as well as the Franc machine gunners, are also here.

Now, these Francogunners, who had just arrived at the mouth of the Yalu River and were forced by Kong Youde to shave their heads, knelt on the side of the road like everyone else, greeting the khan of the Dajin Kingdom.

Huang Taiji deliberately stopped and took a good look at these Francophone people.

There were not many people, and everyone came to the cannon foundry, and the craftsmen in the factory had already knelt on the side of the road and waited for a long time.

"Eh, how many red-coated cannons have been built so far?"

Huang Taiji waved his hand to get those craftsmen up, and asked Tong Yangxuan directly.

"Hui Da Khan, since the skillful use of the lost wax method, the success rate of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion has become higher and higher, so far a total of 117 red-coated cannons have been built, of which 75 are placed in various cities in western Liaoning, and there are still 42 in the battalion."

"Well, that's good."

Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction, then touched a cold red-clothed cannon next to him, and looked a little emotional: "Xuanda and his party, it is Ben Khan who underestimated the enemy's strength and underestimated Qin Chuan's strength, if he brings these red-clothed cannons, it will not let him take advantage." ”

Tong Yangxing shook his head: "Great Khan, it's just that Qin Chuan's guy is too treacherous, before Xuanda and his party, that guy deliberately hid his strength and did not reveal his true firearm strength, this unexpected thing is not the fault of the Great Khan." ”

Huang Taiji obviously didn't want to talk too much about it, so he just smiled and didn't reply.

"Great Khan, please look."

Seeing the opportunity, Tong Yang hurriedly ran to the side of the largest red-clothed cannon, and said, "Great Khan, this is a newly made cannon by the minions, and the firing range can reach three miles away, which is no less than the cannon of Qinchuan. ”

"Oh?"

Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, and he walked over quickly, carefully examining the red-clothed cannon that was obviously larger than the other cannons.

"It's just ......"

Tong Yangxing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's just that this cannon is too cumbersome, and it is an iron-core copper cannon, weighing four thousand catties, which hinders long-distance travel." ”

"And the accuracy of this gun is a little poor, and the gunner of the Franc machine brought by Master Kong from Dengzhou has been testing the gun for many days, but it is still difficult to hit the target at a distance of three miles."

"Hmm."

Huang Taiji was not angry, he only patted Tong Yangxing's shoulder encouragingly, and said, "It's okay, just make more improvements." ”

"Thank you Great Khan for your kindness."

"How are the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Little Franc cannon made?"

"Back to the Great Khan, in the past few months, one hundred and sixty tiger squat cannons have been built, and there are more than one hundred and forty small Fran cannons under five feet."

"Very good, these small cannons also need to be made, before Ben Khan thought that the elite field battles of the Eight Banners of the Dajin Kingdom were not afraid of anyone, but Dai Shan, Yue Yu and others failed repeatedly in Datong, the reason is that my Dajin Kingdom only focused on studying the cannons, and lacked the small cannons of the field waves, which was so completely defeated."

"Khan and rest assured, the minions have asked the craftsmen to work day and night, and it is necessary to make five hundred small cannons of all kinds before the spring of next year."

"Okay, okay."

"By the way, what about the self-generated firebolt?"

"Great Khan, this ...... Forgive the minions for their incompetence, this self-generated fire bolt has not yet been developed. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, just try a few more times, it's just that Xuanda and his party couldn't get back one or two self-generated fire guns, and I don't know how Qin Chuan's gang made it."
