Chapter 299: Heavy Armor Fire Gunner

Huang Taiji stepped forward and said, "Zhongqing is flat." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Hundreds of Han generals stood up at this time, but they still didn't dare to stand up straight, and still bent down and bowed to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji looked at the two Han generals and said, "Two Gushan Ezhen, how are the newly drawn Han soldiers training?" ”

The two Han Banners Gushan Ezhen glanced at each other, and Ma Guangyuan walked up and said: "Your Majesty, the newcomers who agreed on the two yellow flags and the two red flags before will draw one ding for every ten people, and a total of 23,372 people will be drawn. These soldiers entered the camp last month and practiced once every two days, and now they have practiced sixteen times. Although I dare not say that it is worth fighting, the queue is now considered to be strict. ”

Huang Taiji touched the two petals of beard on his lips and asked, "How is the fire gun made?" ”

Ma Guangyuan arched his hand and said: "According to the emperor's intentions, three hundred and seventeen craftsmen of the original Ming army have been found in the banner, and there are 1,894 craftsmen, including 165 craftsmen who can make firecrackers. We asked these craftsmen who could make bird guns to teach other craftsmen to open the furnace to make guns, and now we have made one hundred and seven fire guns. It is estimated that in less than a year and a half, 23,000 Han banner soldiers and horses will be fully equipped with firearms. ”

Huang Taiji sent troops into the pass to loot this time, and planted a heel in the hands of Li Zhi's bird. Since the Manchurian cavalry could not withstand Li Zhi's firecrackers, they could only organize the Han Banner firecrackers. After Huang Taiji returned to Shenyang, he immediately organized the Han army banner to make firearms and Hongyi cannons, and tried to use firearms against firearms to suppress Li Zhi.

At this time, hearing that Ma Guangyuan had already made a fire gun, Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Okay, demonstrate the newly made fire gun on the school field!" ”

Ma Guangyuan and Wang Shixuan shouted orders, and then took Huang Taiji and others to the school.

When they arrived at the school grounds, a hundred musketeers were already standing there with their firearms in their hands, facing a hundred wooden targets at the end of the school yard. Seeing that Huang Taiji was coming, the fire gunners knelt on the ground in unison and shouted long live.

Ma Guangyuan personally rushed forward and shouted to stand up, and the hundred arquebusiers got up and stood on the firing position with their muskets. Ma Guangyuan shouted again: "Charge!" The Han soldiers dug out a spoonful of black powder from the medicine pot on their waists and filled it with medicine.

After all the firecrackers had filled the medicine, Ma Guangyuan shouted, "Launch!" ”

A hundred firecrackers were fired one after another, spewing out patches of white mist that sent sawdust flying on wooden targets seventy paces away.

Seeing the power of the volley of firearms, all the Baylors who followed behind Huang Taiji began to talk about each other. During the Nurhachi era, the Manchus slaughtered the Han people in the northeast, and everyone had blood on their hands. Obviously, the Baylors were very wary of the Han people and did not want the Han people to have such strong weapons.

Dolgon's brother Duoduo couldn't help but jump out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I can't help but let the Han people use firecrackers!" ”

Huang Taiji glanced at Duoduo and didn't speak, but turned to Ma Guangyuan and asked, "Gushan Ezhen, don't you blow up and bore?" ”

Ma Guangyuan was a little nervous by Duoduo's words, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and he replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the slave has given enough materials to these craftsmen, and the name of the craftsman is engraved on the bird's gun. ”

"How many steps can you take?"

"Back to the emperor, some can hit sixty steps, and some can hit seventy steps!"

Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon and said, "How far can Li Zhi's fire gun hit?" ”

Dolgon stepped out of the ranks, bowed and replied, "Li Zhi's fire gun can hit a hundred and forty steps!" ”

Huang Taiji touched his beard and did not speak.

Dolgon said: "But Li Zhi's firearm needs to take eighty steps to break through the double armor, if the firecracker rushes up wearing two layers of armor, Li Zhi's firearm can't penetrate it, and our soldiers can rush to seventy steps and shoot at Li Zhi." ”

Huang Taiji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed.

He looked at Dolgon and said, "Morgen Daiqing, I can see what you do!" ”

Dolgon thought about it, but for some reason he still couldn't get his spirits up, and bowed and retreated.

Huang Taiji was about to speak, when Dolgon's brother, Nurhachi's twelfth son, Azig, jumped out again and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the matter of matching heavy armor and fire guns to the Han people is unacceptable!" These Han people were only captured this year, how can they be equipped with such elite equipment? ”

The blue flag lord Zilharang also jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is really unacceptable!" ”

Huang Taiji frowned, and there was a look of displeasure on his face.

Ma Guangyuan heard that Zhu Beile was so wary of the Han people, his legs were weak, and he knelt down again with the Han flag generals behind him, prostrate on the ground, and did not dare to make a sound.

Huang Taiji took a breath, looked at the indignant Baylors, and thought for a moment.

When Huang Taiji ascended the throne and became emperor, he relied on the support of the Yellow Flag, the Yellow Flag and the Blue Flag. After Yanguli's defeat at Fanjiazhuang, Huang Taiji's Zhenghuang Banner was crippled, and his position within the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not solid. It was Huang Taiji's policy to enter the customs and plunder, and this time he suffered heavy losses in the customs, and although Dolgon was punished, Huang Taiji's prestige was also greatly reduced.

Now, these Baylors have sided with the same enemy on the side of the opposition to the issue of arming the Han Chinese, and Huang Taiji cannot but consider the opinions of these brothers and nephews.

After thinking for a long time, Huang Taiji said slowly: "Ma Guangyuan, Wang Shixuan, the Han people with two yellow flags and two red flags are newly attached, and all Baylor is not at ease. The firecrackers you made were first equipped with the bannermen of the Han flag, two white, two blue and two old Han flags. Wait until the soldiers with the two white and two blue flags are fully equipped, and then equip your newly attached Han Chinese. ”

Ma Guangyuan and Wang Shixuan knocked on the ground with their heads and shouted loudly: "The slave understands!" ”

On June 25, Li Zhi's first ship was built.

Li Zhi named the first ship the Nova.

Boss Wang used smooth cedar wood as guide rails, and led more than 200 shipwrights to push the big ship together, pushing the nova to the shore little by little. The nova moved little by little along the guide rail towards the shore, and finally fell into the deep water on the shore with a "boom", splashing a huge wave, shaking a few times to calm down.

Seeing this scene, the entire Wangjiawan people cheered.

The boatmen swam on board and rowed the Nova to the edge of the small pier in Wangjiawan with long oars. Li Zhi climbed onto the ship with Chayunke's men and horses and a hundred sailors.

The sailors that Li Zhi brought on board this time were veterans who could swim selected from the selection regiment. There is no royal law at sea, and other ships may plunder each other at any time, depending on who is stronger. Zheng Zhilong, who dominates the seas of East Asia, was born as a pirate, and the Dutch also robbed ships when they saw them, and they were all naked pirates. (To be continued.) )
