Chapter 815: Hearing the Truth
To go or not to go is not as simple as talking, it has to be considered in the long run.
But the Mongol chiefs could provide horses for the returnees to escape, allowing them to return to the tribal settlements on the steppe to escape the guilt of the slave masters.
Chongde got the news that hundreds of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry had been released by the "Red Banner Army" too late, and only half of them were captured in the end.
In order not to exacerbate the contradictions, he did not give the order for the massacre, but put these people under the centralized custody, and in the next battle, these people must appear in the first column of the battle as death squads in order to atone for their crimes.
The commotion was so loud that the news that the "Red Banner Army" did not massacre the prisoners of war, gave them enough food to eat, and gave them back their favors spread far and wide, and soon developed into a household name.
Ahha, who was too much a slave, began to live a little better, although he didn't have enough to eat, but the number of times he was beaten and scolded by the master of the slave for no reason was obviously much less.
The situation is stronger than people, and the Jiannu realized that the Great Qing State might not be able to withstand the thunderous blow of the "Red Banner Army" at all, and they might not become prisoners themselves.
Being a man and leaving a line, I really want to see each other in the future, at least half of the Jiannu have converged a lot, and their attitude towards the Han people is completely different.
In the past, Jiannu never paid attention to repairing the city, but since the Red Gangster led tens of thousands of horses and horses to be defeated by the 3,000 "Red Banner Army" leaning on the city wall to meet the battle under the Ningwu Pass, they realized the importance of the city.
In the past two years, Jiannu drove a large number of Goryeo Ahab and Han people to coat and strengthen and repair Shengjing City, which was very effective, resulting in the deployment of 100 Tianyou Cheering General Cannons on each city wall.
The effective firing range of this artillery is four miles, and the maximum firing range reaches eight or nine miles.
Bao Chengxian, a scholar of the Inner Secretary Academy, took Tong Tulai, Cao Zhenyan, Tong Shounian, Cao Xi, Luo Xiujin, Luo Huijin and other traitors to see Chongde.
The traitors have brains, and the purpose of their meeting with their masters is to offer advice, and now the Shengjing City has been renovated, and the heavenly blessing of the city head has more than 100 generals, and all kinds of small cannons are no less than 500.
Due to the release of the "Red Banner Army" into prisoners, the hearts of the Qing people fluctuated, how to do it in the long run? It is imminent to boost the morale of the army!
Bao Chengxian, who had forgotten his ancestors, immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the Huang Han of the Ming Kingdom is hateful, during this period of time, rumors have spread in my Great Qing Kingdom, saying that my Great Qing Army will be vulnerable to the 'Red Flag Army', and the ministers ask Your Majesty to immediately clarify the facts to set the record straight." ”
The Red Gangsters are really tired, the Qing army is not only repeatedly defeated by the "Red Flag Army" on the battlefield, but also repeatedly suffers losses in the secret war, in fact, Chongde at this moment is really full of fear of Huang Han in his heart, and also thinks that the Qing army is difficult to defeat the "Red Flag Army".
Seeing that Bao Cheng mentioned Huang Han as soon as they met, Chongde of course realized that this was a traitor and asked, "Does Aiqing have a plan?" I'd like to hear about it. ”
Bao Chengxian said: "The fact that my Great Qing Kingdom is still strong speaks louder than words, and now the Shengjing City Pool has been repaired and is tall and majestic.
There are already more than 100 pieces of Tianyou's general's artillery deployed at the head of the city, and 300 guns can be deployed by the end of the year.
Why didn't Your Majesty organize a tour of artillery by the military and civilians and the Mongolian vassals, so that more people could see the power of artillery salvos? ”
Wake up the person in the dream with a word, and the red guy is case is shooting and exclaiming: "This plan is wonderful!" Aiqing is attentive. ”
Bao Cheng said first: "Your Majesty." The ministers did not dare to take credit, repairing the city, improving the deployment, and successfully casting hundreds of heavenly blessing to cheer the general's cannon were all the results of Tong Tulai, Cao Zhenyan, Tong Shounian, Cao Xi, Luo Xiujin, Luo Huijin, etc., who did their best to serve the Qing Dynasty. ”
Chongde looked at Tong Tulai, Cao Zhenyan, and others who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "You Aiqing are flat, Tong Aiqing, have all the completed Tianyou Cheering General Cannons been test-fired?"
Is there a danger of exploding? I prepared to lead hundreds of civil and military officials and hundreds of Mongol Taiji to witness the power of those cannons in three days. ”
Tong Tulai said: "Your Majesty rest assured, the slave inspection artillery is very strict, and the heavenly blessing of the general's cannon deployed on the fort at the head of the city can ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
Three days later, on the southern city wall of Shengjing, I saw the shock of a salvo of 100 cannons, and the Manchurian and Mongolian nobles were flattering Chongde, and Wu Keshan said:
"Your Majesty, the artillery of my Great Qing Kingdom is so powerful, why not be afraid that the 'Red Banner Army' will invade Liaodong, under the cover of such sharp artillery fire, the cavalry of the Great Qing Army will definitely kill the approaching enemy without leaving a piece of armor."
Taiji Dusi Gar Zhuonong flattered: "Your Majesty, the Ming army is fighting with firearms, and now the ministers look at our Qing firearms are incomparable, the Ming army has lost the advantage of firearms, and it is definitely not the opponent of my Manchurian cavalry." ”
Chongde announced in a high-profile manner: "I neglected to build a large number of artillery pieces in the past, and because our Qing army did not carry the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion on the expedition, there were several defeats.
Now my Qing Dynasty has learned from the pain, and spared no expense to cast the Heavenly Blessing to help the general's cannon.
All of you Aiqing have just seen the firing of artillery, and the artillery fire of our Qing army is not inferior to that of the Ming army.
I want you to lead your subordinates to take a look at these artillery pieces in the next few days, so that all the soldiers will not worry about the artillery fire of the Ming Kingdom from now on, and let all the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers know that the artillery fire of our Great Qing Kingdom can also overwhelm the Ming army. ”
Hulala, the Manchurian and Mongolian military nobles knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”
The declining Tartars were poor and backward, where did they have any knowledge, and many Mongolian generals who participated in the war lost the confidence of winning the battle after seeing the artillery fire of the "Red Banner Army".
This time, seeing that the Great Qing Kingdom was able to cast so many cannons on its own, my confidence really improved a lot.
It can be seen that it is still uncertain who will die in the battle for Liaodong, and it may be too early to abandon the master of Jiannu now, and then wait and see is the consensus of the vast majority of Mongolian military nobles after deliberation.
This is completely because Jiannu has been killed too hard in the past 20 years, causing the Tartars to have palpitations, and they are worried that if Jiannu wins the victory in the defense of Liaodong, they will settle accounts after the autumn, so they dare not lead their subordinates to say goodbye.
Chongde, who was in high spirits, did not rush back, he not only looked at all the fire cannons on the four walls of Shengjing, but also inquired about the preparations for the upcoming casting of artillery.
Next, he specially watched how Cao Zhenyan and Cao Xi's father and son trained artillery, and gave them half a future, three hundred taels of silver, and four horses.
These two people are the ancestors of Cao Xueqin, an out-and-out traitor, who became the clothed servants of Jiannu after Shenyang Wei was captured in the first year of the Apocalypse, and later followed his master to kill the Ming army and kill the Han people and get an official position.
In history, Cao Zhenyan and Cao Xi participated in the massacre in Datong City, and hundreds of thousands of Han people became their souls.
