Chapter 293: Self-Motivated Minions (First Update, Asking for Subscription)
"Congratulations, congratulations to the prince!"
After leaving the emperor's tent, Fan Wencheng smiled and congratulated Shang Kexi.
From a slave to a master, this is indeed a happy event. What seemed impossible in the past has become a reality under his operation, and how can he not be excited?
The reason why he operated all this was entirely because he was stimulated by his wife's forcible occupation by Duoduo, and according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people were all incorporated into the Eight Banners of Manchuria, sent people under the fence, and were managed as slaves. Although there are also officials in Manchuria, after their deaths, their wives and children must be assigned to the current person of the banner owner, in other words, after Fan Wencheng's death, his wife still sleeps with Duoduo, and even his daughter can't run. Now while he is alive, the emperor can still stand up and speak for him, and by the way, he will take the money.
What if he died?
What if the emperor gave his wife and daughter to Duoduo?
When I think of my wife and daughter after my death, I will become someone else's plaything. That's the distress in his heart.
Maybe there is nothing on these Jurchens, but for the Han people, who can withstand this?
Therefore, Fan Wencheng has been trying hard to lobby the emperor to set up the Han Army Banner, although the Han Army Banner is also a slave, but this slave is a little lower than the Manchus and Mongolians, but no matter what, he is also a flag man, at least he does not have to worry about his wife and children being taken into slavery after his death.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about his wife and daughter becoming other people's playthings in the future. This is the fundamental reason why he has been working hard to operate this thing.
After so many twists and turns in the early stage, he finally got a harvest, even if he was not the first to enjoy it, but it still gave him hope.
I don't want to be a slave of my master, I am not a good slave, how can a good slave like him not see him? When the flag is raised in the future, there will definitely be his share.
But it's just a matter of time.
"Rejoice, rejoice,"
Shang Kexi smiled at Fan Wencheng.
"Master Fan, in the future, you and I will be the emperor's minions! It's a family! ”
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and today's happy mood is very good. He's a flag now.
There was even a moment when he wanted to give himself the surname of the bannerman, but he thought in his heart that the emperor would not be happy to do so. So that's it.
Of course, Shang Kexi didn't know, in fact, a few years later, there was a Han man surnamed Yuan who happily changed his surname to a Manchurian surname after being carried the flag. Although it became a joke at the time, it showed that the largest Qing country was loyal.
"What the prince said is very true, but the prince, whether this can become a family depends on whether the prince's command can break through the trench of the Ming army!"
Shang Kexi laughed.
"Lord Fan, rest assured, when they know that they are going to become bannermen, they will definitely fight to the death to lay down a long trench and repay the emperor!"
With a running minion, it is also full of energy!
For Zhao Tai, who is a member of the "Heavenly Aid Army", when they knew from the adults that the prince had given them the opportunity to "carry the flag", these soldiers who invested gold with the prince back then were all bright-eyed!
Become a flag man!
Doesn't that mean that they don't have to farm, they don't have to work, and like those masters, they can get slaves, and such a good thing is finally their turn?
"The prince said, as long as the long trench is laid, the emperor will definitely have a heavy reward at that time, and the slaves and maids of every household will definitely be indispensable to you!"
If you want to say why they want to become flag people, I'm afraid it's because there are real benefits to becoming flag people. There is a higher status and less to give, and there are more rewards. In the past, they were only greedy, but now they are going to become banner people.
While everyone was shouting for joy, they saw a group of bannermen in bright white iron armor coming, and someone shouted softly when they came.
"The White Armor Soldiers are here!"
In the Qing army, it is very simple to recognize the white-armored soldiers, you can recognize them from the armor they wear, they wear three layers of armor, wear chain mail inside, wear another layer of cotton armor, and finally wear a layer of forged iron armor, the defense is amazing, because the iron armor is made of 100 steel, and it is extremely shiny when it reflects the light, so it is easy to recognize in the army.
"Don't copy it, wearing mercury armor, among the ten thousand armies, the table is easy to recognize, the line is behind, and the formation is inside, dedicated to winning the victory."
As long as you see the "mercury armor", it must be a white armor soldier.
These white-armored soldiers were all arrogant, saying Jurchen words that Zhao Tai and they couldn't understand, although their noses were raised to the sky, but when Zhao Tai and they saw these people, they all knelt down and kowtowed.
No way, they are flag men, they are masters!
They were all used to worshipping them, and he didn't even look at those Han people, but stared at the Ming army on the opposite side.
This one will be killed in the trench no matter what, and he will be able to ...... if he only kills the past. Wash away the shame from your body!
When he thought of the Ming army, Ao Bai naturally thought of the emperor who escaped from the camp in Jinan last year, as the Baturu of the Great Qing Kingdom, as the emperor's Bayala, he never thought that one day, he would be scared like that.
Vulcan!
Bombing the Camp ......
Today, no matter what, you have to wash away the shame on your body with the blood of Ming Dog!
Just as Ao Bai was thinking about the snow shame, with the sound of hurried drums, a group of "Tianzhu soldiers" rushed out of the long trench - in fact, in the past period of time, except for Duoduo's troops, who had lost thousands of soldiers several times, at other times, it was also Han soldiers who rushed to kill.
For the Qing Dynasty, the Han soldiers have always been their siege and land...... Cannon fodder!
The same is true now.
Zhao Tai, who was holding a spear in his hand, gasped, although his eyes were fixed on the long trench of the Ming army, but when the cowhide boots worn by his feet stepped on the snow that had been solidified, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
How many people must have stepped on this!
But even so, he still did not break through the long trench!
The emperor's reward is not easy to take!
It's going to be a dead end!
Just as he was thinking this, there was a whistling sound, and when he looked up, he could see a few black dots flying in the black, and they were not fast.
It's Hongyi, no, it's the red-coated cannon......
Suddenly, the slow-flying shells exploded in the air, and after many days of "training", the gunners of the 18-kilogram guns located in the rear had fully mastered the skills of timing the shells, and could give accurate timing to the shells according to the distance, so that the power of the shrapnel could be maximized.
The moment the shell exploded, thousands of lead bullets flew apart and whistled forward. Lushun is the first large-scale application of shrapnel in actual combat, this is the killer weapon left by the prince to Qian Degong, in fact, what is left is only the pattern of the shrapnel, its structure is not complicated, that is, the hollow shell shell is filled with a large number of lead bullets and detonating charges, detonated with a wooden letter tube. As long as there are cast-iron furnaces, gunpowder, and lead bullets, they can come out in a steady stream, which allows the artillerymen on the front line to have enough shells, so that they will not have a big meal for them when Jiannu goes to the banquet.
The rain of bullets flying at high speed from above fell like raindrops. The iron armor of Bailian was as fragile as a piece of paper, the body was easily cut like tofu, and the shotgun shot easily tore these "Heavenly Aid Army" into pieces, I don't know how many people, and even the appearance of the Ming Army was not seen, and they fell on the ice and snow in the smoke of the explosion.
But their offensive will not stop because of these few volleys. Even the next shotgun bombardment did not stop them, and when they approached the barbed wire, the Ming troops in the trenches also began to shoot, and they aimed at the Qing troops in front of them, shooting methodically.
Thousands of heavenly soldiers rushed into the barbed wire with dust, smoke, shotguns, bullets and screams of the wounded, and when they tripped over the low-level barbed wire, they did not panic when they thought that they would make military achievements and become banner men. Instead, he immediately took out the steel scissors and cut the barbed wire with all his might.
Although the wire is very hard, it is still not as hard as these specially made steel shears.
"Click!"
The barbed wire is broken!
