Chapter 721: The cannon fires his mother

PS: Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!

One of the three Shun kings of the Han army, the solid mountain of the Han army's red flag, the obedient king Kong Youde, listened to the noisy shouts and curses from time to time outside the mansion, and his heart was like a pot of hot oil, but his thick and dark face was with a spring breeze, listening to the messenger in front of him constantly there with the encouragement of the lotus flower to pull out his red flag Han army soldiers and horses as soon as possible, and join Prince Su, that is, Haoge, who had ascended the throne as the emperor in this mouth, to join the great cause.

"After the difficulty of quelling the chaos is completed, the emperor is bound to reward him generously, and you are the first righteous person to obey the dragon, don't dare to say anything else, there are a few more East Pearls in the crown, and it is inevitable to become a prince."

The reason why Haoge sent someone to Kong Youde was because in the recent controversy, although Kong Youde and other Han military banners expressed their stay out of the matter, but in private, they thought that it should be passed on from father to son, which was more in line with the etiquette system.

So, in the hearts of Haoge's faction, Kong Youde is an out-and-out prince! Moreover, because Kong Youde has the Hongyi cannon of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion in his hand, this is an absolute weapon of victory, that is, no matter how many soldiers and horses support Dolgon, the street can't help but bombard the Hongyi cannon!

In Haoge's mind, his son Huang Taiji can be said to be kind and righteous to Kong Youde and other Han people, treating each other very well, and helping him at the end of the road. At this time, Lao Tzu's Ama is gone, and it is time for Amma to give you back the kindness you gave back to me!

It's a pity that this is wishful thinking on his part!

"Marshal Du has traveled from afar, and he has worked hard. Everything between the lines has really won my heart. It is especially beneficial to appease the mountain people. It's not a tired body, but also a loss of title. Smell the healed, with the comfort of the arms. ”

This is the beginning of Kong Youde and others leading the crowd to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. What Huang Taiji said to him in his capacity as emperor. Not only did he verbally comfort him, but he also recognized the self-appointed official title of "Marshal Du" by Kong Youde and others when they started up in rebellion, and awarded him an official seal.

After Kong Youde returned to the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji treated him very well, and he led his troops to invade the mansions of the officials and rich people. Yue Tuo and others impeached him, but Huang Taiji didn't ask. Once he fell off a horse and injured his hand, but Huang Taiji immediately issued an edict to comfort him. Soon after he joined the emperor, Huang Taiji built two banners on the left and right of the Han army, and he and Tong Yangxing, Shi Tingzhu and others respectively mastered a Wuzhen Chaoha firearms unit.

The reason why Kong Youde is treated so preferentially is why! It's also very simple and straightforward. Because his army was equipped with a large number of Western firearms, as well as a full set of bomb-casting and pharmaceutical technology, as well as artillery aiming knowledge and instruments, Kong Youde was more valued by Huang Taiji than Tong Yangxing. You must know that at the beginning of the Liao thieves' rebellion. Whenever the Ming army defended the fortified city, either the city gate should be opened, or it could only be attacked and filled with human lives. This is extremely costly for thieves whose human resources are very valuable.

Kong Youde's arrival, for Huang Taiji, it was really a pillow when he was sleepy. In addition to having artillery technology, Kong You's German army also had excellent bird guns. There is no danger of exploding, after all, it is a fine bird gun that Sun Yuanhua spent a lot of money to make back then. The era of the Qi family's army. Granular gunpowder was used in the Ming army, and although the bird-gunned guns in other armies did not use fixed cartridge ammunition, granular gunpowder was also used. Although the caliber of the bird gun is small, it can break the iron armor in fifty steps, and it is also very lethal to the unarmored soldiers in one hundred steps.

Such a deep gratitude. With such a sharp weapon, if Hauge and his party look at it as nothing, they can really die! Moreover, according to their understanding of Kong Youde, this person can be regarded as a grateful retribution. People who value emotions and morality!

But there is a basis for this! Although Kong Youde said that he was tyrannical and indiscriminate, he first killed corpses all over the Denglai area, and turned the houses of wild villages and towns into a blank land, and then he carried artillery and a full set of craftsmen to the Qing Kingdom. However, after he followed the Qing army into the customs, he went to visit the home of the old governor Mao Wenlong. Originally, he planned to find the descendants of the old chief, leave some property to take care of his life, or take away the children who were willing to join the army to cultivate a good life, which can be regarded as repaying the old chief's kindness. When he learned that the old chief's family was scattered and even the house was sold to someone else, he could only cry and leave.

This person's temperament is the same as that of the black whirlwind Li Kui. Just ask who's good to me, no matter what that person tells me to do. (Smack!) Who hit me?! The unkind author covered his face and looked around. "You bastard, it's enough to whitewash the big traitor! also slandered Li Kui and Li Tieniu! Who do you hit if you don't hit ?! "Wronged! Li Kui, because Song Jiang was kind to him, gave him silver flowers, invited him to drink, and worked hard for Song Jiang for the rest of his life. In the Water Margin, are there still fewer people killed by Li Kui? Not to mention anything else, just once in Jiangzhou to rob the law field, he "didn't distinguish between men and women, just cut off the head!" "Those ordinary people who watched the excitement or didn't have time to hide recruited you to provoke you? and Hujiazhuang, who was also killed by him. He did bad things, but in fact, he was no different from Kong Youde. )

Kong Youde is, in a sense, Huang Taiji's Li Kui. However, we can only see Li Kui bowing down to Song Jiang, when have we seen Li Kui buy Song Jiang's younger brother Song Qing's account? Now, Haoge wants to come out to accept his father's inheritance and become Kong Youde's Song Jiang, but unfortunately, he forgot that Kong Youde is also a grudge. At the beginning, Haoge was extremely contemptuous of these Han troops who surrendered to the Qing State!

You don't usually burn incense, so you are in a hurry to hug Buddha's feet? Is it easy to make?

As an old qualified military stick, Kong Youde is very aware of his value. He is not just a person, a solid mountain Ezhen of the Red Banner Han Army, he is still gratifying with the blue flag Gushan Ezhen, and the Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Geng Zhongming is called the three miners of Liaodong. His attitude can directly affect Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming. And the three of them can directly affect the rest of the Han army troops such as Ma Guangyuan, who is inlaid with the yellow flag, who is really Shi Tingzhu, who is inlaid with the red flag, who is really Liu Zhiyuan, who is the blue flag, who is the true ancestor Zerun, and who is the white flag.

Therefore, at this time, the envoy of Haoge in front of him may add a few Dongzhu to become the so-called prince's empty promise, which can only make Kong Youde deal with his hypocrisy and grievances, and play haha with him, and keep ordering people to bring snacks and fruits to this messenger, but he does not mention a word in the serious words.

No matter how the messenger shakes his lips and tongue, Kong Youde has a purpose, you have your own plan. I have my ladder over the wall. In short, in a word, if we don't take out the benefits of real money, we can only drink tea and chat.

At this time, a cold and ruthless voice came from the palace of Prince Regent, who was the preferred target of this storm, from the airtight mansion that was being guarded.

"Hauge and the rest of the rats. I didn't think about how to report to Jun'en, but when Emperor Daxing was not yet buried, he dared to follow the chaos and intend to rebel! Are they in the hands of the Lord Regent?! ”

"Please show the Regent!"

"Kill all those who follow the chaos!"

"Order, Prince Yu Duoduo and Jueluo Cao Zhenyan are responsible for leading the troops into the city to quell the chaos! If there is resistance, slaughter them all! However, Hauge, as the eldest son of the first emperor, must live! ”

"Prince Azig! Anjun Wang Yuele! You lead the two red banners to guard all parts of the city. Don't let the rebels disturb you! Passing on the king's will, the official offices of the barracks and mansions must close the gates tightly to avoid the fish in the pond! ”

In the midst of the sonorous armor, everyone sang in unison: "Slaves obey orders!" ”

Someone held Dorgon's royal order, and under the escort of hundreds of elite soldiers with two white flags, sent orders to the Mongolian tribes of the Eight Banners, ordering them not to act rashly. Without the will of the regent, it is strictly forbidden for a soldier to leave the camp. Violators, no mercy!

The Eight Banners Mongolia Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Adai, the Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Dalai Lama, the Zhenghong Flag Gushan Ezhen Engetu, the Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Buyan Dai, the Zhengbai Flag Gushan Ezhen Yibai, the White Flag Gushan Ezhen Suna, the Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen Wu Lai, the Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen Hu Shibu and others were so happy not to go to this troubled water, they immediately received orders and closed the camp gate.

Unlike the soldiers of the Manchurian rebellion under the blue banner who shouted loudly to give themselves a strong momentum, dozens of oxen and firearms of the two white flags had already been prepared. But it was silently pouring out of the official mansions on both sides of the two avenues behind the palace. After quickly forming a line on the street, they swooped down like two torrents against the blue flag.

"Nikan with two white flags!"

"It's a Nikanhan dog with two white flags!"

Under the lights, hundreds of people who were rushing in front of the blue flag found that there were large groups of people pouring out on both sides, but they were two white flags. From the top to the bottom, what kind of commander can bring out what kind of troops. Hauge bullied and despised the Han military flag on weekdays. The bannermen under his command naturally looked down on the Han army flag, and they carried it, and even these coaters with the two white flags were ignored by them.

"Kill all these Nikans!"

"Kill Nikan, capture Dorgon alive!"

"Capture Dolgon alive and protect the master!"

There was a chaotic shout, and the soldiers and horses of the blue flag were still heavily armored soldiers with spears and swords, and light-armored archers were behind, ready to break through the formation of the large number of firecrackers in front of them, and then after slashing and slashing, they rushed into the palace and rushed into Prince Rui's mansion.

"Minions, do you remember what the master said?! Do you remember the reward promised by the master?! ”

Cao Zhenyan rode his horse and stood in the middle of the army, shouting loudly to boost morale with the reward issued by Dolgon.

"Remember!"

Thousands of people agreed in unison, and the low roar was like a muffled thunder, muffling the shouting of the blue flag.

"If each Niu Lu shoots and kills more than 10 thieves with a fire gun, Niu Lu Zhangjing is promoted to one level, and each soldier is rewarded with salt cloth and rice, and if he kills more than one person with a gun, the soldier himself carries the flag and is rewarded with a stone of rice, a horse of cloth, ten catties of salt, and twenty catties of meat! The boss of the tube is promoted to the next level! ”

Cao Zhenyan was very satisfied with the chorus of these thousands of people, but he and Duoduo intentionally or unintentionally swallowed up half of Dolgon's orders. That is, "only punish the evil, and never ask questions." Those who discard their instruments and fall to their knees will not die! "In the eyes of Duoduo and Cao Zhenyan and others, this opportunity is precisely the best opportunity to weaken the Zhenglan Banner to the greatest extent and kill and injure them in large numbers.

With the commands and scolding of officers at all levels, the clothed soldiers finished lining up in front of the palace. Because of the topographical characteristics of the middle street, the road divides the space, so the clothed soldiers could not spread out the formation, so they could only take Niu Lu as a unit, and on the street with a hundred people in a column, the two Niu Lu's clothed fire soldiers lined up in three columns, and looked at the blue flag thieves who were shooting and killing with knives on the opposite side with indifferent but fanatical eyes.

Soon, the soldiers of the Blue Banner rushed into a hundred, ninety, and eighty steps, and their hideous expressions became clearer and clearer.

"Raise the gun!" Niu Lu Zhangjing began to issue orders, and the fire guns that had already been loaded rattled with a chaotic sound, and they were held flat in their hands.

"Damn it!" Several Blue Flag officers who had dealt with the Model Brigade. There was a sense of déjà vu for the formation of the two white flag cloaked soldiers, but it was impossible to stop at this time, and the crowd of the brigade swept forward in clusters.

Just as they had rushed past eighty paces, Cao Zhenyan swung forward violently with the horsewhip in his hand. A death-like order was issued: "Fire!" ”

Bang bang bang, bang, the fire soldiers who had long been unable to hold back the meritorious service and carry the flag** pulled the trigger one after another, the dragon head fell, the sound of the platoon sounded, a large stream of gunpowder smoke was released, and a large number of blue flag flags who rushed to the front immediately fell.

After the first row of musketeers finished shooting, they quickly retreated from both sides of the street to the end. Then the second row of gunners stepped forward, and another volley was fired. The screams of the blue flag and the sound of firecrackers on the opposite side were intertwined, and the people who were shot rolled to the ground in pain, letting out a heart-rending howl.

With the sound of crying and screaming, the charging Zhenglan Banner paused slightly, and many people began to hesitate a little. Let's rush up, isn't it to death? Haven't rushed to the other side yet. With heavy casualties, can this battle still be fought?

Without allowing them to think about it, there was another sound of guns on the other side, like the urging of death, harvesting dozens of lives. As soon as they rolled to the ground, those who were lucky enough to survive experienced the great pain of being shot. The feeling was immediately transmitted to the whole body, and looking at the large hole in the flesh and blood on their bodies, they cried out and rolled back and forth on the ground.

Several rows of firearms rang out, and the formation of the clothed soldiers was already shrouded in thick gunsmoke. In the smoke, the figures are longing, and they seem more and more sinister and terrifying. However, there are still fires in the smoke, and every time the firelight is sprayed, dozens of people on their own side fall, those who were shot, with big holes in their bodies, and many people's internal organs, liver and sausages have been beaten out, and kneeling on the ground is better than death.

"Stop ahead! Taken down! Let the sword and shield soldiers come forward! "There are officers in the blue flag team who come out to command, adjust the offensive formation, and no longer let the soldiers rush forward to feed the projectiles in vain.

Hundreds of sword and shield soldiers were gathered in one place, ready to charge, and at this time, there was a slight commotion in the ranks of the two white flags, and there were some subtle changes in the formation of the firecrackers.

Those dead soldiers with heavy shields in one hand and tiger tooth knives or short-handled axes in the other, wearing double layers of heavy armor, shouted and rushed towards the group of Nikans with two white flags, in their opinion, as long as they rushed to the front, the sword and axe in their hands would teach this group of lowly Nikans a good lesson, let them know what the elite of the Eight Banners is!

However, Cao Zhenyan also prepared an even more ruthless thing to entertain them!

"Get out of the way!"

With the order, the two Niu Lu clothed soldiers who surrounded the front immediately dodged an alley and brought the team to both sides of the street, clinging to the wall, lest they get too close to the street!

In the middle of the street, four six-pounder cannons were placed in the middle, and the muzzles of the black holes were flattened, pointing in the direction of the sword and shield soldiers of the blue flag!

"Fire!"

The shells passed, screams and pieces of flesh mingled.

"A few mad dogs raised by the Ulanala clan! Dog mongrel! "Although Hauge is quite far from the battlefield, the sound of artillery can be heard clearly! He could never have imagined that the two white flags would use such an inhumane weapon as a cannon on the street against his elite dead soldiers.

No matter how a few pro-soldiers forcibly grabbed him, his eyes were red and tears flowed in his eyes, and he wanted to rush to the front to fight against this lowly bastard of Duoduo!

"Master, you can't go!"

"That's it! If you want to go, the minions will go! ”

"Let go of me! Lao Tzu cut you down! Lao Tzu wants to chop all these mad dogs raised by Ulanala into meat sauce one by one! ”

Haug roared.

The sound of cannons shook the entire Shengjing City.

Kong Youde, the obedient king who was still arguing with Haoge's envoy in the flower hall of his house, suddenly heard a few dull "Knock!" in his ears. Knock knock! "Sound, as an artillery commander who was coached by Sun Yuanhua and the Portuguese, how could he not hear that it was the sound of cannons?!

"Damn! Someone placed a bet in front of Lao Tzu! His two thick eyebrows twitched a few times, but there was nothing he could do in a hurry!

The sound of cannons seemed to be a signal, and as these cannons rang out, the entire Shengjing City was enveloped in a terrifying shout, and thousands of people let out heart-rending screams, footsteps, and cries.

In contrast to these noisy and chaotic sounds, the rhythm is quite uniform, but it is also chilling, and even strange bursts of sound can be felt.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Three rows of neat volleys of firearms, "Kill!" A short, powerful cry was followed by a scream that gradually subdued, followed by another sound of fire, and the cycle repeated.

Finished! The blue flag is over! Kong Youde's heart is bright! These coated soldiers of the two white flags, after destroying the will to fight of the Zhenglan Banner with artillery, took advantage of the extremely low morale of the soldiers of the brigade to shoot a large number of soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner in the retreat with firearms, and then stepped forward with their guns to deal with the soldiers and horses who tried to resist, and perhaps even the wounds were also solved!

Hearing the sound of shouting and killing from the street, from far to near, and from near to far, the face of the messenger sent by Hauge was also uncertain. A burst of red and a burst of white.

"Lord, there's a herald from the regent outside!" The leader of Kong Youde's personal guards came in and told his master.

"Well, on my behalf, I will tell the Lord Regent's herald, and say that a certain family will come out to receive the Regent's will after changing their robes!"

"No need! The regent meant to tell the prince that there were thieves in Shengjing tonight, and in order to prevent accidental injury to the prince, please don't have to go out tonight, just close the door of the house and drink at home. It is not too late to go to court after the situation has calmed down. ”

"That's all?" Kong Youde was quite surprised, and he hurriedly asked the leader of his cronies' guards.

"Lord Wang, that's all."

"Then, what if this king plans to raise troops and horses to help the regent quell the rebellion?"

"Someone said that the regent knew that the prince was loyal to the emperor, and he also knew that all the prince's subordinates were elite, but how to kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife? A group of two white flags is enough to deal with. It's better to ask the prince to be born at home! After speaking, the leader of the guards handed over an arrow: "This is left by someone who came, if the prince has something to go out, or if the people in the palace go out to procure, you can ensure that you are safe with this order." ”

"Hahaha! Ok, good, good! Good lord! Good means for the regent! Kong Youde looked up to the sky and laughed, but his face had changed. Come on, tie up this guy who came to this king and shook his lips and tried to persuade this king to raise an army to make a rebellion! Send it to the regent! ”

"Piercing!"

Before the messenger could scream and beg for mercy, he was already gagged by the guards in Kong Youde's mansion and tied up like a zongzi.

"You, escort this dog thief to see the regent, just say that I am on standby in the camp with the red flag Han army soldiers and horses, as long as the regent gives an order, I will go out of the camp to quell the chaos!"

A low voice explained to the leader of the guards, Kong Youde stretched his waist for a long time, and was ready to go back to the room to rest, and it had nothing to do with him if the battle was turned upside down outside. He's done what he's supposed to do.

In addition to kidnapping Haoge's envoy to the Regent's Mansion, he also ordered his henchmen to take his tokens to Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, telling them that don't run with Haoge, it's a dead end!

In addition to ordering someone to send news to the two old brothers, Kong Youde even ordered someone to go to the Zhenghongqi Han Army camp and Wuzhen Chaoha camp with his own order, and strictly ordered them to close the camp gate and not go out. "Except for the great order of the regent and the great order of this king, the rest of the people are holding the emperor's holy decree, and you minions also pretend not to see it to this king! Just drink and sleep in the camp! The rest is none of your business! ”

Without the positive blue flag of allies and helpers, how can it be the opponent of two white flags and two red flags? Moreover, there is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of technology and weapons. When the two white flags are facing the formation of the blue flag to resist and counterattack, they will not fight with you at all, but drag the artillery up from behind to bombard a few cannons, and after the formation of the blue flag is scattered, the fire guns of the brigade will harvest the lives of the soldiers of the blue flag with dense projectiles, and then use the guns to step forward to solve it. Fight for yourself to carry the flag!

When the sky was twilight, this Shengjing Rebellion was already dusty. (To be continued.) )
