Dolgon's hard work to get this 40,000-strong Dragon Breaker Army was not to confront the Ying Dragon Army of the Ming Dynasty, but to use it as a secret weapon to surprise the Ying Dragon Army.

In fact, the Broken Dragon Army, which is only 40,000 people, has absolutely no strength to compete with the Ying Dragon Army of the Ming Dynasty.

There's no way, it's just a small number, it's still a group of people full of old and weak, but this also makes Dolgon don't know how much effort it took to get it.

I think that at the beginning, for the sake of the secrecy of this dragon-breaking army, he issued an order to all the Manchu children to change the time for Manchu men to enlist and discharge from the army from the original fifteen to forty-five years old to thirteen to fifty years old.

This is a terrible thing, and it is just a matter of prolonging the time of discharge, but it is a big mistake to forcibly reduce the time of enlistment from fifteen to thirteen, which means that a man will go to war when he reaches the age of thirteen, which is equivalent to the age of a child.

Before Nurhachi's death, there was a strict order, and the ancestral system of Manchurian men going to the battlefield at the age of fifteen!

This is undoubtedly to ensure that the soldiers of the Eight Banners will continue every year, so that the foundation will not be destroyed after a defeat.

A few years ago in the battle of Xuzhou, Dolgon made an exception, so that the fourteen-year-old Manchu man also went to the battlefield, when the Manchu high-level was carried away by the dream of dominating the world, in order to have more Eight Banners in the decisive battle, in one fell swoop to destroy the Ming Dynasty, no one stood up against it, but unfortunately they were still defeated in that battle, burying 70,000 Manchu children and hundreds of thousands of troops, the Eight Banners could not recover for several years, at this point, the Manchu high-level has been lingering, Now Dolgon has once again lowered the age of the Manchurian men to enlist in the army, and even lowered it to thirteen years old!

The four auxiliary ministers, the Eight Banners, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and even Azig, the brother of the compatriots, were all opposed, and some people also took the opportunity to point the finger at Dolgon, believing that it was not suitable to continue to serve as the regent of the Qing Dynasty.

With such a big pressure, Dolgon had no choice but to convene the four auxiliary ministers overnight, and the eight banner lords and the queen mother of the two palaces discussed secretly together.

Dolgon analyzed the situation, understood the reason, and made everyone realize that the Ming Dynasty would inevitably send the whole country to the north soon, and the 120,000 Ying Long army with strong combat effectiveness was the main force, and the Qing Dynasty reached the moment of life and death, and it took him a whole night to persuade half of the people, but there were still half of the people who were fiercely opposed, and two people insisted that he should be demoted, and also put forward the fallacy that the Qing Dynasty retreated to the Guanwai, saying that the Guanwai was the root of the Manchurians.

Dolgon was furious at the time, and scolded the two men for being waste and short-sighted! Dolgon knew too well that the Qing Dynasty could fight for decades, and whether the Qing Dynasty retreated to Guanwai or not, both sides were in a situation of non-death, and retreating outside the Guanxi would only weaken the power of the Qing Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is not the previous Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Emperor is not the previous Ming Emperor, and it is a dead end to retreat outside the gate!

However, Dolgon's thinking like this doesn't mean that everyone thinks so, the two of them jumped up and confronted Dolgon, resolutely disagreed, and scolded each other with Dolgon, scolding so much that their faces were red and their necks were thick.

In a fit of rage, Dorgon ordered the two men to be dismissed, locked them up, and pushed the order forward.

Immediately, more than 10,000 Manchurian men were recruited at the age of 13 and 14, and more than 10,000 people between the ages of 45 and 50 were recruited, a total of more than 37,000 people, in order to make up for 40,000 people, Dolgon ordered to eliminate more than 2,000 middle-aged women from the families with white flags and white flags, which is the origin of the 40,000 Dragon Breaking Army.

Although there were only 40,000 people, the number was a little smaller, but Dolgon was also satisfied, after all, the Manchu population was small, and the Han and Mongols could not be trusted.

If you use firearms well, you are a strong army! In the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon would never allow such a strong army to be composed of Han Chinese or Mongols, which would easily damage the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

"Regent! Regent! When the soldiers of the Dragon Breaker saw Dorgon coming, they all brandished flintlock pistols in their hands and cheered.

This flintlock pistol was developed two years ago, and the Dragon Breaker Army was assembled as soon as it was established.

Dorgon and Azig ascended the high platform.

Dorgon sat on the main seat, and Azig took two steps forward to face the 40,000 dragon breakers.

"Drill begins!" Azig ordered loudly.

"Knock Knock"

The war drums thundered, and the Dragon Breaking Army, composed of 40,000 Manchurian and weak, began to skillfully drill various formations, and the flintlock guns fired intensively, and the gunfire in the entire school field was intensive, white smoke billowed out, and the smell of gunpowder was strong.

The rows of scarecrows that were struck by the Dragon Breaker Army all disintegrated and shattered under the powerful power of the dense lead bullets.

I have to say that the military literacy of the Manchurians can be called top, and after a year of training, all kinds of military formations imitating Ying Long's army look no weaker than Ying Long's army.

When the various military formations and battle formations were rehearsed, Azig said proudly to Dolgon: "Fourteenth brother, what do you think? ”

"What does Brother Twelve think?" Dorgon asked rhetorically.

Azig laughed and said: "I personally supervised the training of the Dragon Breaking Army, and all of them are composed of our and other Manchurian disciples, in my opinion, a face-to-face confrontation with the Da Ming Ying Dragon Army can also kill him!" ”

Looking at the smug Azig, Dolgon couldn't help but be disappointed.

In fact, Azig can be in charge of the Dragon Breaking Army, and there is a great element of luck in it, but in fact, he is not the best candidate in Dolgon's heart at all, but he is the most trusted person in Dolgon's heart now.

Dorgon's ascension to the throne of the regent of the Qing Dynasty was due to the full support of his two siblings, Azig and Dordor.

Now Duoduo died in battle during the Xuzhou War that year, which is equivalent to breaking one of Dolgon's right-hand men, and the most trusted person around Dolgon is only Azig, and the Dragon Breaker is very important, and Dolgon must be in his own hands, however, he himself is entangled in government affairs every day, and it is impossible to divide his energy to train the Dragon Breaking Army, so he can only hand it over to Azig.

Azig has an impulsive personality, and he opens and closes his mouth to fight with the Ming Ying Dragon Army.

Not to mention the small number of the Broken Dragon Army, it is composed of the old and the young, and the physical strength and endurance are congenitally insufficient, which is not enough to compete with the Daming Ying Dragon Army composed of all the young and strong.

Only by taking the dragon army by surprise and suddenly attacking at an important juncture can the dragon army of the Ming Dynasty be defeated in one fell swoop.

When the Qing Dynasty imitated the field artillery and equipped it on a large scale, Dolgon had reason to believe that the Manchurian Iron Cavalry and the Dragon Breaking Army were united, and there was a 100% certainty that they could destroy the Ming Yinglong Army, while other ordinary Ming armies, Dolgon did not take it seriously. For the upcoming second decisive battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon is already more than eighty percent sure of winning!

At that time, even if you can't take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the opportunity to destroy the Ming Dynasty and dominate the world, you will definitely be able to rule across the river from the Ming Dynasty.
