Fan Wencheng is really a good dog, and seeing that the master regards artillery so important, he suggested:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is still possible to raise iron materials for casting cannons in the short term to meet the amount set by His Majesty."

Chongde was interested, and immediately asked, "What is Fan Aiqing's plan to teach me?" ”

Fan Wencheng immediately talked eloquently: "Your Majesty, in order to increase the total amount of steel, the minister thinks that it should be open source and reduce expenditure at the same time.

In the past few decades, the Qing Dynasty has seized a lot of artillery and firearms of the Ming army, and most of them have been rusted, and those guns can be recast and recast.

There will always be a lot of iron in every household of the people, and His Majesty may issue a decree to order each oxen to hand in scrap iron at a minimum limit.

His Majesty can also issue a task and order Niu Lu Ezhen to personally lead the army and the people, Aha to make steel, and in the case of the general mobilization of the whole people, it should not be too difficult to refine the amount of steel needed to cast the Heavenly Blessing Cheering General Cannon. ”

Ning Wan added: "Your Majesty, the whole people's steelmaking will definitely consume a lot of grain and miss food production, but if I can't use artillery battles to win the war in the attack of the 'Red Banner Army', all the cities of my Daqing will fall."

After that, our Qing soldiers and civilians had to return to a nomadic state and live in the snowy far north. ”

The Red Gangster is also full of history books, so he doesn't know that the Han people may defeat the grassland tribes, but never want to eliminate the grassland tribes.

As long as the Jurchens, like the Mongols, gave up settling in the steppes for nomadism, fishing and hunting, they would be able to save the lives of the majority of their tribesmen.

Realizing that there were not enough cannons, the Qing Dynasty had to abandon Korea, Liaodong, Shengjing and the palaces here, and fled north for one or two thousand miles to endure the wind, frost, snow and rain on the grassland to live in a yurt.

Chongde had no room to spare, so he issued an order for Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, Dolgon, and Duoduo to do everything they could to ensure that iron was used for casting cannons.

At the end of the first month of the second year of Chongde, the Manchu Qing Dynasty launched a farce similar to the Great Leap Forward of the National Dynasty, and the whole people made steel.

Each Niulu has a small earthen steelmaking blast furnace, too many iron pots in Qiding and Aha can't keep it, and finally a lot of resources are wasted to practice a lump of scrap iron, and the yield rate even reaches one percent of the barely.

Hundreds of thousands of people worked together to make steel, which directly led to a nearly doubling of food consumption, because smelting is a heavy physical work, and all cattle are really hard tasks, and if the output is not completed at that time, it will be light to be whipped and punished by Shangguan, and it is very likely that they will be killed.

If you want the Qiding and Aha in Niu Lu to work hard, at least let them eat more and eat some dry, so Jiannu's already unsustainable food is even more stretched.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty could not get high-quality steel and had to cast cannons head-on, so the only way to make the cannon not explode was to increase the wall thickness, so the "God Bless the General" cannon was three or four percent heavier than the Hongyi cannon of the same caliber, and it consumed more iron.

The cycle of clay mold casting cannons was too long, and there would be no newly cast cannons for the defense of Korea in a short period of time, and when it was learned that the "Red Banner Army" was preparing to launch a spring offensive, the Manchu civilian military generals were in an uproar.

First of all, it is necessary to confirm whether the "Red Flag Army" has really chosen to attack North Korea, and if the attack on North Korea can be confirmed, then it is necessary to calculate where the "Red Flag Army" will choose to land from.

The territory of the Qing Kingdom is now large, there are great difficulties, the coastline is too long, and there are several navigable rivers.

Jiannu did not have a naval division, and any place with natural port conditions could become a landing point for the "Red Banner Army".

Zierharang thinks that if you can't guess, don't use your brains, maybe Huang Han's guy is playing again, and we are ready to formulate a defense plan for North Korea, and maybe people will directly send troops from southern Liaoning to seize Fuzhou.

This is not nonsense, the initiative has been lost, it is inevitable that they will be beaten passively, and there is really a possibility that the "Red Banner Army" will fight wherever it goes.

In the Manchu court, some traitors led by Zu Dashou secretly regretted that they did not expect that the seemingly incomparably powerful Jiannu would be beaten back to their original form by the "Red Banner Army".

Seeing that those barbarians were helpless, they all knew that this so-called Qing Chongde Dynasty was destined to be short-lived and destined to be a farce.

Zu Dashou got the title of King of Guishun after surrendering to Jiannu is just a superficial scenery, but the days have taken a turn for the worse, he knows that the so-called Han prince is not as good as a dog in the eyes of the military nobles of the Eight Banners, and now he has to wag his tail and beg for mercy.

The Great Tomorrow Son had summoned Zu Dashou three times, and he dared to ignore it in Jinzhou, but Chongde summoned him to Shengjing to discuss matters, and the old boy immediately rushed over.

In fact, the money and grain that the ancestral family got in the hands of Jiannu was less than one-tenth of what the Ming Dynasty gave at that time.

During this time, Zu Dashou trembled and walked on thin ice, because the generals of the original ancestral army, Zu Kuan and Zu Keyong, sentenced the Qing Dynasty to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and his brother-in-law Wu Xiang defected to the "Red Flag Army" again.

After learning the news, he secretly let go of Wu Xiang's youngest son Wu Sanfu who stayed in Jinzhou, and among the three sons of the Wu family, only Wu Sanfu was born to Zu Dashou's sister and was the nephew of Zu Dashou's relatives.

In order to leave a way back for himself and for some affection, Zu Dashou was willing to take the risk of letting Wu Sanfu live.

According to Zu Dabi, who sent Wu Sanfu to escape, Wu Sanfu raised his hands when he crossed the fortified area of the Qing Dynasty, and within half an hour, the "Red Banner Army" appeared and took him away.

In the past two years, Zu Dashou often sighed, and several sons such as Zu Zerun and Zu Zepu were also dissatisfied with the status quo and complained.

Zu Dashou told his son and the generals of the ancestral family that now in the Qing Dynasty, they are mainly messing around, and they must not really work for Jiannu, and they must be leisurely when they fight with the Ming army, and they must surrender or defect immediately when they find something.

Seeing that the eldest brother who took the lead became the prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, he disdained to be loyal to Emperor Chongde, Zu Dabi, Zu Dacheng and other ancestral generals who had the opportunity to rebel against Jiannu and return to the Ming Dynasty at the end of last year repented of not being at the beginning.

They began to leave a way back for themselves, after all, there were Wu Xiang and his son, Zu Keyong, and Zu Kuan on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, the Qing Dynasty was really destroyed by the "Red Flag Army", and they could at least leave one life.

As a result, the families of Wu Xiang, Zu Kuan, Zu Keyong and other generals who surrendered were not persecuted in Jinzhou, and even dozens of young and middle-aged people successfully crossed the defense line and ran to the "Red Banner Army".

It's a pity that the ancestral army and the "Red Flag Army" are old feuds, and the ancestral army thinks that the ancestral family has fallen to such a point completely due to Huang Han, and they have never thought of surrendering to the "Red Banner Army".

And it was the "Red Banner Army" that launched the Pingliao War, and many traitors in the ancestral family really had no confidence in whether they would be able to save their lives after raising their hands and surrendering.
