In the Middle East, the Qing Kingdom, Isfahan City.

The Ming Dynasty is in full swing in the large-scale construction of the whole people, and Dolgon is not idle.

Last year, forced by the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon was forced to let the Qing Empire go to the emperor and declare himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty.

Dolgon still clearly remembers that when the news came out, the Persians under his rule were in such an uproar that they could not believe that it was true, and even the mosque made it clear that they had an opinion of him, after all, although the Persian Empire had been defeated in successive wars and lost a large part of its territory, it had never paid tribute to the foreign nations, but the Manchus who were currently ruling did so.

The Persians laughed at him, the Ottomans laughed at him, and the Cossacks laughed at him.

This made Dolgon feel that he and the Qing had been insulted like never before.

The new Cossack Khan didn't even think much of it and asked the Qing to call them vassals, joke!

The Qing Dynasty can endure the insults of the Ming Dynasty, but the Cossack Khanate, the strength is not even as good as the Persian Empire, and it is far worse than the Ottoman Empire.

It was at that time, under the fury of Dolgon, he personally led a large army into the Cossack steppe, and fought with 150,000 Cossack cavalry, with the bravery of the full eight banners, with the sharpness of the imitation of the Shenwu cannon, and the flintlock pistol of the Dragon Breaking Army, the Qing army pressed the Cossack cavalry almost from the beginning, and soon defeated the Cossack cavalry, and took the opportunity to capture a large area of the Cossack steppe, which made the Cossacks frightened.

The victory was great, but Dorgon was not very happy.

Whether it was the original war with the Persian Empire, the war with the Ottoman Empire, or the invasion of the Mughal Empire and the current attack on the Cossack Khanate, although the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was still extremely brave and the backbone of defeating the enemy army, there was no one that lacked the participation of firearms such as cannons.

If you think of the battle with the Ming army in the Central Plains, and the battle with the Ming army a year ago, the Ming army used firearms on a large scale, and even their firearms were many times more powerful than the imitation of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was repeatedly defeated.

The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is not weak, even in the face of the most elite Ying Long Army of the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon is also confident to overwhelm the Ying Dragon Army, of course, in advance, the Ying Long Army does not use firearms, no matter what, firearms show his strength.

Even if the Eight Banners are not afraid of death, their combat effectiveness is strong, and after all, they are flesh and blood, they can't block bullets, and they need artillery support to attack the city, and if they fight with the Ming army again in the future, if there is no way to restrain the Ming army's sharp guns and artillery, the Qing Dynasty will also have no chance of winning.

Not to mention that the Qing Dynasty took the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty, if one day the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to attack the Qing Dynasty again, how should the Qing Dynasty resist!

These days, Dolgon has thought about it, and the only way is that the Qing Dynasty has firearms that surpass the Ming Dynasty, at least those that are not weaker than the Ming Dynasty, and only in this way can the Eight Banners exert more powerful combat effectiveness.

To say that the current Ming Dynasty has Manchuria, with Mongolian steppes and Jungar grasslands, these places are excellent places to raise horses, every year for the Ming Dynasty to produce a large number of horses, so that all the regular army of the Ming Dynasty can form an iron cavalry to quickly excited, the same composition of the iron cavalry of the Ming army in the face of the Qing Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, their advantage is the cavalry rifle in their hands.

The cavalry rifles of the Ming army had a range of nearly 300 meters, while the bows and arrows of the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty could only shoot about 100 meters, and the gap was too great.

As early as the time of Murkala City, Dolgon rebuilt a Qing firearms manufacturing bureau with Han craftsmen who had moved westward to produce more imitation Shenwu field cannons and flintlock pistols for the Qing Dynasty.

However, these old-style Shenwu field cannons and flintlock guns were much, much weaker than the existing ones of the Ming Dynasty.

Cannons and guns were invented by the Han Chinese, and the Ming Dynasty had countless Han craftsmen, and Dolgon really did not have the confidence to use the few Han craftsmen under his command to develop guns that were as powerful as the Ming Dynasty.

Despite this, Dolgon did not give up the idea of having guns as powerful as those of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking back then, he stole the alloy steel method and the cannon anti-recoil device from Daming through bribery and espionage, and created an imitation Shenwu field cannon, although the weight is two hundred catties heavier than the original cannon of Daming, but the power and rate of fire are not much worse.

Since you could get technology from Daming back then, why can't you do it today.

"Lungu, the real revival of the Qing Dynasty, whether you can defeat the Ming Dynasty in the future and wash away the shame of the Qing Dynasty being forced to go to the emperor to pay tribute, it will all be on you!" Dorgon said to Lungu.

Lungu is Dolgon's henchman, although the force is not as good as Aobai, but it is not weak, and the most important thing is that Lungu is relatively quiet, more forbearant than many people, and it is most suitable to exclude him from carrying out espionage missions.

Yes, Dolgon was planning to steal firearms technology from the Ming Dynasty once again.

At that time, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was defeated, expelled by the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, and had to move west, but Dolgon had a lot of hidden clothes in the south of the Ming River back then, and now so many years have passed, those hidden clothes are still there, even if some of them are out of control, but there are still some of them can be absolutely controlled.

Only by successfully stealing the technology and allowing the Qing Dynasty to have the same firearms technology as the Ming Dynasty can the Qing Dynasty defeat the Ming Dynasty, recapture the ancestral land of Manchuria, and wash away the shame of being a minister.

"Wow! The minions will never give up, if they can't bring the technology back, the minions will have no shame to see the regent again! Lungu knelt down on one knee and said.

"Well, there you go!" Dorgon nodded.

"Wow!" Lungu was ordered to retreat.

On the same day, Lungu and more than 200 Manchus rode out of the city of Isfahan.

Unlike other Manchus, these more than 200 Manchus did not shave their heads into money rat tails, but left the Ming Han people's distribution, and even these more than 200 Manchus are familiar with the Chinese dialect and speak it very standardly.

Fast forward to November, another winter, and Dorgon doesn't plan to survive this rare winter.

Winter is the dry season, and the water levels in the rivers are not as high as in other seasons.

Naturally, the water level of the Indus River, the barrier of the Mughal Empire, was lowered considerably.

Since the last time it defeated the 300,000 troops of the Mughal Empire and captured all the Mughal territories west of the Indus River, the Mughal Empire was terrified in the face of the Qing Dynasty, like a frightened bird, and frantically held the Indus River, preventing the Qing army from having the opportunity to cross the river and continue the invasion.

The wealth of the Mughal Empire is not much worse than that of the Ming Dynasty, it is the fat of the fat in Dolgon's eyes, how could Dolgon give up biting this piece of fat because of an Indus River.

After more than half a year of exploration, Dolgon finally found a place in the upper reaches of the Indus River, near the snow-capped mountains, where the river was narrow and the water was not deep and slow.

Now, as long as the Qing Iron Cavalry can set foot on the east bank of the Indus River, they will be able to continue to attack the Mughal Empire, scrape a lot of oil and water from the Mughal Empire, and continuously enhance the strength of the Qing Dynasty.

On November 7, Dolgon personally led 140,000 cavalry, including 60,000 Manchu Eight Banners, 80,000 servant cavalry, and almost all the Qing cavalry to cross the river and invade the Mughal Empire.

Because of the defense of the Indus River, the Mughal Empire was quite lax, and in any case did not expect the Qing army to suddenly appear on the east bank.

Immediately, the cavalry of the Qing army raged, and at one point slaughtered to the edge of Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire.

The Mughal Empire was frightened, and ordered to close the city gates one after another, allowing the Qing cavalry to rage, and did not dare to send troops to fight a decisive battle at will.
