"Good, good, good!" Under the canopy, the obese Huang Taiji shouted repeatedly: "Prince Rui, this is the capture of our army?" ”

In the Gaizhou Colonel's field, a large number of abandoned items of the Tiance Army collected from the Gaizhou defense line were piled up.

The most striking of these were scrapped tanks and three burned out armored vehicles, most of the rubber wheels of the armored vehicles had burned out, and one of the tracks of the tank had fallen off due to an internal explosion.

In order to tow these tanks back to Gaizhou, the Qing army spent a lot of effort, especially the tanks weighing more than 50 tons, so they used hundreds of horses to pull and pave the road with huge logs.

In order to welcome Huang Taiji's visit, Dolgon ordered the chariots to be washed and reluctantly restored to their original appearance.

"Your Majesty, these are all captured by our army in the first battle of Gaizhou." Dolgon said in a high spirit: "Your Majesty, please see, these are the chariots of the Tiance Army, and this one is the largest of them. ”

Huang Taiji curiously circled around the tank and asked, "How much does this tank weigh?" Is it really made of all-fine iron? ”

Dolgon said: "Your Majesty, this chariot is completely made of fine iron, and Weichen has already estimated that this chariot weighs no less than 100,000 catties!" ”

"Shhh Not only Huang Taiji, but also Prince Baylor and all the ministers who came with Huang Taiji gasped, and the 100,000-pound car was an existence they couldn't even imagine.

Prince Li Daishan coughed and asked, "Prince Rui can figure out how this chariot moves." ”

Dai Shan is the head of the four major beylers named by Nurhachi, and his status is transcendent, and even Huang Taiji is a little jealous of him.

Dolgon said: "To the disappointment of the Emperor and Prince Li, there was an explosion inside this chariot, and the damage was so bad, it is impossible to figure out how this chariot operated. ”

"Alas, it's a pity." Dai Shan sighed: "What about the other chariots? And so it is? ”

Dorgon nodded, "That's all right, these chariots have been burned by the flames, otherwise the Tiance Army would not have said that they were abandoned." ”

Huang Taiji shifted his gaze to other weapons, he pointed to the several mortars and recoilless guns placed on the ground and said, "Prince Rui, are these cannons intact?" ”

Speaking of other weapons, Dolgon perked up and said: "If you go back to the emperor, these cannons were snatched back by our army, and the Tiance army did not have time to take them away, so they are all in good condition." But we're exploring how to use it, but it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to other weapons and said: "Your Majesty, please see, you should be no stranger to these firearms, we once obtained one, and now we have dozens of them, and thousands of bullets. ”

In addition to weapons, there are other materials and items abandoned by the Tiance army in the Gaizhou defense line, such as sapper shovels, helmets, food, military kettles, etc., Huang Taiji is very interested in checking them one by one, and everything is very strange to him.

"I have won the victory of Gaizhou in the Qing Dynasty, Prince Rui has contributed a lot, if it weren't for your strategy, how could the Tiance army have such a big defeat?" Huang Taiji said to Dolgon.

Under the repeated blows of the Tiance army, the Qing army was almost powerless to fight back, and suffered countless losses. Including Azig, Abatai, and Huang Taiji's eldest son, Haoge, a large number of Qing relatives were killed and captured alive, which made the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty discolored by the name of the Tiance Army.

The victory in the Battle of Gaizhou lifted the spirits of the entire Manchu capital, and the lost morale seemed to have returned.

Although the strategy of the Gaizhou defense line was not developed by Dolgon, it was his proposal to supplement the strategy - minefield, and it was with the idea of the minefield that the Gaizhou defense line had greater significance.

Moreover, the Battle of Gaizhou was also commanded by Dolgon himself, and he was also victorious in the face of the Tiance Army, so he became the first person to win the victory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty against the Tiance Army, and because of the victory of the Battle of Gaizhou, Dolgon's reputation in the Manchu Dynasty was also rising sharply.

"The minister doesn't dare to monopolize it, this time he was able to defeat the Tiance Army, and it was also my emperor's great talent, and he won a thousand miles to win." Dolgon said respectfully.

Dolgon replied with a proper and unobtrusive compliment, but Huang Taiji glanced at Dolgon meaningfully. Dolgon is smart and talented, and he is the leader of the younger generation, and Huang Taiji, who has read countless people, is both pleased that the Qing Dynasty has such a masterpiece, but also secretly vigilant.

This was both a good thing and a worry, and since the death of Azig and his eldest son, Hauge, Dolgon's popularity has risen rapidly. Only a person like Dorgon can be calmed down, but what if he is gone.......

Prince Li Dai Shan said: "Prince Rui, the casualties in this battle are also huge, reaching as many as 70,000 people. As the saying goes, if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. Is this battle of Gaizhou a victory or a defeat? It's hard to say. ”

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said: "Prince Li doesn't need to say much, in my opinion, of course my Qing Dynasty won, and it was the Tiance army that fled in the battle of Gaizhou." ”

Among the Qing troops killed in the Battle of Gaizhou, the Han Army Banner accounted for the majority, followed by the Mongolian Eight Banners, and finally the Manchu Eight Banners.

Just like the great victory of Ningyuan that was hyped by the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji also needed a victory to change the situation in which the Manchus were pressed and beaten by the Tiance army in order to boost morale.

As he spoke, he asked Dolgon again: "Prince Rui, although my Qing Dynasty defeated the Tiance army in the battle of Gaizhou, the Tiance army is still strong and has not been injured at all. After the defeat of Gaizhou, the arrogant Tiance army will inevitably attack Gaizhou again, and be ashamed of it. Then do you have the confidence to defend Gaizhou for me, and even recover Fuzhou and Lushun? ”

"Uh, this..." Dolgon still has a clear understanding of the strength of the Tiance army, and said: "The minister does not dare to talk about recovering Fuzhou and Lushun, but he still has a certain degree of certainty in holding Gaizhou, but I just hope that the emperor can allocate more gunpowder." ”

"How much?"

"A million catties!"

Before Huang Taiji could answer, Ying Erdai, the Chengzheng of the Qing Household Department, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Prince Rui doesn't know, before I have no more gunpowder in the Qing Dynasty, the Gaizhou defense line has already used up two years' inventory. ”

"That's 500,000 catties." Dorgon stepped back.

"Don't say 500,000 catties, even 300,000 catties!" The Ministry of Household Cheng Ying Ordai spread his hands together.

"Your Majesty!" Dolgon bowed his hand to Huang Taiji and said, "If there is no large amount of gunpowder, the minister does not dare to guarantee to hold Gaizhou." ”

Huang Taiji is a diligent emperor, and the situation of the country is basically clear, and he basically knows what Ying Erdai said about the situation that he is not telling a lie.

The gunpowder used in the Gaizhou defense line, but he personally approved it, and tightened his belt.

If there is no large amount of gunpowder, the Gaizhou defense line may be broken through by the Tiance army, and the Qing Dynasty will be in danger.

"Prince Rui, the difficulties of the imperial court, I don't think you haven't heard of ......." Speaking of this, Huang Taiji coughed violently a few times. It is said that he originally had wind dizziness and high blood pressure, and this time he was in a hurry to get to Gaizhou, so he rode all the way forward.

Dolgon hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon's body, the conditions here in Gaizhou are poor, and I hope that the emperor will return to the palace as soon as possible to recuperate." ”

"Thank you Prince Rui for your concern, I will return to Beijing in the near future." Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction and said, "I will allocate another 200,000 catties of gunpowder to Gaizhou and increase the army by 50,000, you must defend Gaizhou for me." ”

"Wechen will never give up!"
