When the scorching sun in winter gradually sinks in the west, a few flowing clouds hanging in the distance appear to shine in the reflection of the setting sun.

When the garrison of Xuanfu captured all the bandits who escaped according to the guidance of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

In the grassland beyond the side walls, there was an area that had become completely ghostly at this time. At this time, the camp where more than 1,000 Manchu cavalry were originally stationed had completely disappeared. Even the frozen soil on the ground has been scorched into crystals by the heat.

The elites selected by the Manchu banners were all black shadows at this time, and they left nothing. As for the materials that had just been taken over, they were also completely burned in the raging flames.

On the back of a hill a few hundred meters away from the ruins of the barracks, a panel covered in thick black ash was pushed away. Two sentries with black and gray faces, red eyes and tears in their eyes, emerged from the pit.

The two sentries had been here last night. When it was bright, I stayed in the pit for a while because it was too cold outside. I didn't expect to be able to escape because of this.

They also saw the raging flames in the camp, and they thought about rescuing their comrades after the shock. But when they saw the screaming firemen running out of the camp, and saw the flames splashing in all directions towards where they were. Their hearts were completely shaken.

Without any other thoughts, the two of them returned to the pit and closed the panel again. Enduring the scorching flames, with a little luck, he was finally able to escape.

The two lucky ones looked at the defunct camp in the distance and glanced at each other. Both saw the look of fear and despair in each other's eyes.

The camp didn't dare to go back, and the two of them, who were sweating profusely from the heat, couldn't care about anything else. Just supporting each other and staggering all the way to the northeast.

The two of them were lucky, and they didn't go far when they met a group of Mongols who had come to check on the miracle. With the prestige accumulated by the Manchu Qing over the years. The two of them got the horses to travel, and went straight to Shenyang without looking back.

After they returned to Shenyang after all the hardships to report the divine punishment to Dolgon. In a fit of rage, Dorgon immediately beheaded the two lucky ones who had escaped the fire.

At this point, the Manchu army brought by Suppilon to receive the goods was completely annihilated, except for the cavalry who had returned to Shenyang early with Ferguson muskets.

The fire became an unsolvable mystery for decades, centuries. Even in the future, even if the science and technology are advanced, the field investigation of specially organized experts has not reached the correct conclusion.

In this era, everyone regarded it as a divine punishment bestowed by the gods!

......

After getting dozens of Ferguson muskets, the Manchus could not imitate them!

The reason is very simple, the fire door, spring, trigger and other fire gates, springs, triggers and other entire tunnel engine mechanism used in the Ferguson rear flintlock pistol, the craftsmen here in the Manchu Dynasty could not make it at all!

Furthermore. It's not just guns that can't be made, they can't even make one-piece bullets. Even these craftsmen who have been doing these things all their lives are experienced and highly skilled. However, in the face of this advanced technology, which is not at all an era. Without supporting production tools and production technology, no matter how smart and studious and how strong the hands-on ability is, it is useless.

The development of science and technology has a foundation and is gradual and orderly. It's impossible to give you a technological breakthrough as suddenly as in the game!

Even if Dorgon was furious and had to cut off the heads of many craftsmen every day, it would have no effect. Without the accumulation of tools and technology, no matter what, it can't be produced.

In desperation, Dolgon had no choice but to accept Meng Qiaofang's advice. As far as possible, the strongest firearms used by the Ming army, the Beak Gun and the Hongyi Cannon, were produced first. As for the other various firearms of the Ming army, they don't want any of them. Because the Ming army outside Ningyuan City has not been used!

In any case, the Manchus of this era were far from being comparable to their descendants in terms of vision and receptivity.

"Even if it's not as good as the firearms of the Ming army. But it's better than having generals wield broadswords and spears to send them to death, right? Meng Qiaofang's words greatly touched Dolgon, who had personally experienced the almost unilateral massacre outside Ningyuan City, and immediately agreed to this matter.

Although angry that they could not imitate those advanced muskets. However, the bird's beak gun was also a sophisticated firearm for the Manchus. It's better than nothing.

As for the dozens of advanced muskets from the Great White Sun Castle, Dolgon was equipped with his own army. It can be regarded as the most powerful elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time.

After the end of the game, it also brought another trouble to the Manchus. The large amount of iron and copper they ordered was all destroyed by napalm.

The Manchu elite did not know what a strategic reserve was. They don't have a lot of raw material reserves on their side. It is simply not enough to mass-produce firearms for the army to reequip.

"Damn it!" Enraged, Dolgon, after condemning Suppilon's family, had to order everyone to hand over their iron and bronze objects.

As soon as this order was issued, it almost provoked a large-scale mutiny among the bannermen!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, industrial output was almost none. Mineral mining and ore refining are extremely cumbersome and cumbersome. Not to mention the time and effort, the output is not large.

For ordinary people, a piece of iron is a very valuable property. You must know that even before the founding of the People's Republic of China in later generations, there were still many places in China where wooden farm tools were used! The importance of iron tools can be imagined.

Iron is so precious. The bronze is even more needless to say. In this era, even the royal sacrifices were made of bronze! Also, the currency in circulation in this era. It's called a copper coin!

A few days ago, they snatched all the yellow and white things from every household, saying that they were going to buy copper and iron things. But it's been so long. I didn't even see a single hair! It has already made all the flag people extremely dissatisfied, and now it is coming out like this? Can you still live?!

Because this incident almost caused a popular uprising! The Manchu Qing Dynasty was a system in which all the people were soldiers, and this was almost all infighting.

Dolgon was also full of helplessness. What is he doing all this for? Isn't it so that this group can continue to exist?! What good is it if these things are left behind? Once that Ming army went north to Shenyang after the beginning of spring. If you don't have firearms to resist in your hand, can you still use those iron and copper coins to smash those Ming soldiers to death? !

Even if Dolgon was the regent of the Manchu Dynasty, he could not have forced the matter forward when almost everyone was against it. His men who do things for him are against it! Meng Qiaofang, who made this suggestion, was almost beaten to death.

In the entire Manchu elite, only Dolgon and Bumu Butai supported this matter. That's what a visionary is. But they touch the interests of the vast majority of people. This can't be done anymore.

Dorgon also thought about returning all those cold weapons to the furnace and turning them into firearms. It's just that the time is too late, and the handicraft workshop wants to complete such a huge renovation work. The time it takes is at least a year.

In addition, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a mobilization system, and weapons and everything belonged to individuals. This is the same as the previous model of collecting iron objects, and it is also impossible to do it.

Just as Dolgon's hair was almost gray, an unexpected piece of good news came. The Guan Ning army, which was stationed on the front line of Ningjin, secretly sent an envoy, saying that they could provide a batch of supplies to the Manchu Qing. It's just that some benefits are needed.

This matter was definitely not ordered by Wu Sangui, he didn't have the guts. Wu Sangui served as the commander of the Guanning Army. If he personally ordered to do this, then once he was stabbed out in the future, he Wu Sangui would definitely end up in the life and death clan!

But Wu Sangui must know about this. He just chose to acquiesce. He can say that his subordinates did not know about it, and although they were also at fault, they were not guilty to death.

After receiving the benefits, the subordinates must honor him, and they can also push the main responsibility out after the incident. You don't have to take too much responsibility when you get the money, and at the same time, you can achieve the purpose of raising your own respect. Wu Sangui chose to remain silent on this matter.

At this time, Dolgon no longer cared if this was a ploy of the Guan Ning army. He scraped the ground in the flags and the palace, and took out all the yellow and white things he could collect, as well as those antique calligraphy, paintings, jade and pearls, and even the jade wrench he wore on his hand.

Bumubutai fully supported Dolgon's choice. Not only did she agree to let Dorgon empty the palace. He also dedicated all his jewelry. It can be regarded as doing his best for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Eventually, Dorgon received a much-needed supply for the construction of firearms. Guan Ningjun got the goods they had been pursuing. The two sides who were originally fighting to the death played a very tacit tacit game.

It's just that how can this matter be hidden from Gao Yang?!

This transaction can be regarded as laying the groundwork for the dissolution of the Guanning Army in the future. Wu Sangui's acquiescence also made the final choice for his subsequent fate.

Gao Yang is determined to educate everyone in the Ming Empire. Tell them what they can and can't do!

......

Winter goes to spring, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, General Dong had quietly moved away from the inside and outside of the Great Wall. Meng Meng spring stepped on the new sprouting green stubble on the branches and quietly came to the land of China.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and Gao Yang, who had eaten lunch, squatted under a willow tree in the garden of his mansion, and watched the ants on the ground move in a daze.

"Is there anything worth looking into here?" After more than an hour passed, the origin finally couldn't help but ask. He really doesn't understand that Gao Yang has nothing to do, so he goes to sleep and surfs the Internet, what are he doing here squatting and watching the ants?

"I didn't do any research, I just looked at it." Gao Yang rubbed his hands. whispered. The sound is not loud, but it makes the origin of the fire of the brain.
