"This gunpowder is so domineering, can our craftsmen get it?" Dolgon's eyes looked at the black powder on the paper packet and asked.

Azig shook his head: "The artillery battalion craftsmen in the army have seen it, they don't have a formula, they don't know its ingredients, and it's difficult to manufacture, so I divided it out and sent it to Shenyang, where there are many people who can figure it out, and it's more likely to figure it out." ”

"The southerners put firearms first, and there were skilled craftsmen many years ago, and it is inevitable that there will be such craftsmanship. However, we only relied on the thousands of people brought by Kong Youde, and in just over ten years, we were able to create a red-clothed cannon that was sharper than the Ming Court cannon, which shows that there is no priority in this method, only the depth of the way, so that the craftsmen in Shenyang are fully dedicated, and those who find it will be rewarded! We must make the same gunpowder for this king within a month! Dolgon waved his hand and said categorically. He is an extremely arrogant superior, there are more than 10 million things on his mind, just a kind of gunpowder, it is worth celebrating, and it is useless to lose, and it is already very important to ask a few words.

Azig agreed, and agreed.

"Sharp firearms do not mean that you will definitely be able to win the battle, think about how many cannons and birds of the Ming army were in Liaodong back then, and they were not defeated under my Jurchen bow and horse." Dolgon's dignified body sat upright, a lot taller than Azig who bowed his head slightly, and he looked invincible in the campfire on all sides, and when he spoke, he was full of energy, and his voice was very far, and the emperor was full of domineering: "Fighting and fighting, swords and guns are king, and the guns are far away and dare not fight in close quarters, it is not the work of the winner, although the Shiling Guan Ming army won Nikan, it can only be said that Nikan and Bolo are incompetent and cannot represent anything." ”

"Taizu raised troops, there were no more than 1,000 soldiers, and the people were less than 10,000, what did he rely on to be able to fight the great rivers and mountains in the bitter cold land? It is the courage of my Jianzhou Jurchen who is not afraid of life and death, and is not afraid of strong enemies! When everyone moves forward, there is death and no life, in order to survive, the front and the servants are united as one, all of them are ten enemies, hundreds of enemies, gather the crowd for the wall, there is no retreat, we can come to this day, Nikan's defeat, it seems that he was defeated in firearms, but in fact, he was defeated on himself, arrogant and arrogant, lost the way of the formation, and the reason is the reason! ”

The fire burned with a crackling sound, and occasionally a small spark burst out, which exploded on the flames and was extinguished.

Azig and the others listened carefully, their faces flushed in the firelight, and they didn't know whether they were ashamed or scorched by the firelight.

"The people brought back by Nikan were all sent back to Beijing, they lost their hearts, it was useless to stay here, they should have been killed, but this is the time to employ people, leave them with their lives, and make meritorious contributions."

The last sentence decided the life and death of these people, and after saying this, Dolgon clapped his hands: "Let's go, a few princes stay." ”

Everyone got up, saluted Dolgon, and then bowed and walked backwards for a few steps, before turning to leave, and many of them walked out of the circle of guards, only to realize that cold sweat broke out on their bodies, and the time that had just been a quarter of an hour seemed to be as long as several hours.

There were fewer people, and the air seemed to be a lot clearer, Azig took a few heavy breaths, looked around, and said in a deep voice to Azig: "The prince is merciful, spare them from death." ”

Dolgon let out a breath of turbid air from his nostrils, leaned back, changed his comfortable position, and snorted coldly: "You think wrong, according to the temper of the king, he will kill Nikan on the spot today, and none of the people he brought back will survive, such a big defeat, leave them to mess with our military law?" ”

The cold sweat on Azig's body quietly came out again, he is the main general of this land, he can't get rid of the defeat of Shiling Pass, because of the death of Duoduo in the court, the undercurrent is surging, Dolgon is wielding the butcher's knife vigorously, although he is Dolgon's younger brother, but there are also a lot of actions in secret, it is inevitable that there are some unclean, if Dolgon plays on the topic, the consequences are difficult to say.

His eyes changed, and he said with some hesitation: "That...... Why did Brother Wang let these people go? ”

"You think I'm willing? You didn't force it? Dolgon's tone became stern, and he glanced at Azig fiercely, seeing that Azig's neck was cold: "The chaos in Shanxi is getting worse and worse, it is out of control, and now I actually killed a prince in battle, I have conquered the territory of the Qing Dynasty, how many territories have I conquered, and when have you killed the prince in battle?" Even the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were killed by us several times, and now it is our royal family who is dead, and it falls into the ears of the world, what does it mean? Have you thought about it? ”

Sitting on both sides at the moment, there are also Prince Shuosai of Chengze, Man Dahai, who inherited the title of Prince Dai Shanli, Wakda, King of Doluo County, plus Azig and Dolgon, basically several people in the Qing court who are still alive and the most capable of fighting are here, and Man Dahai and Wakda still have the title of General of Zhengxi.

The status is noble, and he naturally understands the inside story of knowing more information, and his brain is also extremely flexible, and everyone understands the meaning of Dolgon's words.

"The Han people have been mobilized by the movement here, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, these originally stable places, began to be chaotic, rebels everywhere, killing county orders, killing Zhizhou, not paying grain and taxes, gathering people for trouble, threatening to restore the country and destroy the Qing Dynasty, even many Han generals who have surrendered to us, are also ready to move, this king came west this time, did not bring many Han troops, is considering that some of them are unstable, when the time comes, stab us from the inside, the trouble will be big."

Prince Man Dahai is not very old, less than thirty years old, brave and good at fighting, violent and reckless, he can't help but be a little angry when he hears it, and he said in a rough voice: "I have long said that those Han dogs are not credible, they can be killed, and if they kill all the troublemakers, it will be fine, the Han people are extremely cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, kill a batch, and the rest will be afraid, and when the time comes, ......"

Before he finished speaking, Dolgon's cold gaze swept over, and his gaze was so cold that he saw that Dahai trembled all over, and the unfinished words were stalked in his throat.

"Kill? Can you finish the kill? When we are all killed, who will be our slaves? We Jurchens have died so many people just to get a bare world? Mandahai, have you thrown all your father's teachings into the dung pit? Dolgon smashed his head so hard that he hung his head and didn't dare to look at him.

Dolgon took a deep breath, retracted his hateful gaze, and said: "I have already ordered the Eight Banners from all over the country to return to Beijing, I came this time, only Tan Tai and He Luohui, who were left behind in Beijing for 800 miles, and only 2,000 banner soldiers with them, once the Han army rebelled, they couldn't even defend the outer city." ”

The four of them were startled, their faces changed greatly, and they glanced at each other.

Dolgon smiled, looked at the faces of the four people, and said: "However, the 10,000-strong army of Jierharang and Luckedhun has been returning from Huguang for many days, and at this time it has passed Weihui Mansion, and it will be possible to reach Beizhili in a few days, and the defense force in Beijing will be enough to resist all the chaotic parties, so there is no need to panic." ”

Hearing this, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief, Beijing City is the main way to the north, once lost, tens of thousands of Manchurians will be trapped in the Shanhai Pass and unable to get out, trapped in the vast sea of the Han family and unable to extricate themselves.

"So the chaos in Shanxi must be resolved as soon as possible, this has reached the point where it has shaken the foundation of my Qing Dynasty, no matter what the cost, no matter who it is, as long as it blocks our way, we will die!" Dolgon made a downward movement with one hand: "Now every banner man is precious, the Han people are unreliable, and the Mongols are also half-hearted, only we can be relied on, so I will not kill the defeated soldiers, nor will I kill Nikan, keep their lives, and use them in the right place." ”

The four of them nodded, their faces solemn, Azig thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "But in this way, the troops left south of the Yellow River are all Han troops, and their strength is too weak. ”

"In a short period of time, there will be no big changes, Hong Chengchou has betrayed the Ming Court, except to follow us to the death, there is no other way, the Ming Court will not spare him, he wants to live, he can only die."

"In other places, although there will be repeated villains defecting, but will not shake the fundamentals, when Jierharang and Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian's Eight Banners returned to the division, the Ming court army was beaten to pieces, frightened and unable to counterattack, and Li led Tai Town in Fujian, Kong Youde pressed Guangxi, Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi Zhenhuguang, Wu Sangui forced Tongguan in Henan, Hong Chengchou in Nanjing to take charge of the overall situation in the south of the Yangtze River, there are still many Han troops loyal to us in various places, on a large scale, the situation can still be controlled, only Shanxi is the source of chaos, as long as this place is destroyed, Anti-thieves everywhere can be easily solved. ”

"But what about the Ming Court? Will he take the opportunity to start an incident, Li Chengdong still has some elite soldiers at hand. ”

"Hahaha, you don't know yet, Li Chengdong raised 100,000 troops to save Jiangxi, and was attacked by Liu Wuyuanqi, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, in Xinfeng, and 100,000 soldiers were scattered, this fang is now trapped in the city, time is running out, once this villain dies, who else can fight in the Ming court?"

Dolgon laughed loudly, and when he said this, his gloom was gone, and his face was full of joy, and Azig and the others also laughed wildly.

In the laughter, the night was filled, the black sky shrouded the earth, and there seemed to be a giant palm invisibly, falling from the sky, pinching the vast earth in his hand, shaking it at will, and then dropping it and turning into a ruin.
