Chapter 328: Sheng Jing's Conspiracy (II)

Shengjing's martial arts arena is in the north of the city, and in the west of the city, a large number of workshops and craftsmen are gathered to create weapons for the army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the beginning, he was the prime minister of all military and civilian affairs of the Han people, casting cannons and operating cannons, and was responsible for the officers and soldiers of the Han battalion. After the death of Yi Yangxing, Ma Guangyuan was appointed as the chief engineer of the Qin Mission, responsible for the logistics and engineering affairs of the Qing Dynasty, making weapons, casting artillery, etc., and training artillery with stone pillars.

One of the reasons why Huang Taiji traveled from the west of the city to the military parade in the north of the city was to personally inquire about the artillery and bird system in the craftsman's workshop. In order to show the importance he attaches to the formation of firearms units.

Huang Taiji's chariot drove the guard of honor to the outside of the craftsman's workshop, where there are countless workshops of all sizes, which seem to be continuous and invisible, and are mostly blacksmith shops. Thousands of yellow skinny faces. The ragged craftsmen are busy intently. No one dares not to be serious about making knives and guns, making birds, casting cannons, etc.

The fierce Manchu and Han overseers were watching and patrolling, and those who dared to slack off were whipped at least and killed at worst.

After dozens of large-scale genocides by Nurhachi and Huang Taiji against the Han people in Liaodong, the end of the people of Liaodong is the most brave and fierce death, and only those who obey can live.

The supervision of weapons in the Qing Dynasty was also relatively strict, and every artillery and every knife and gun had the names and titles of relevant personnel. If the firearms are excellent and thus victorious, the Qing state will not hesitate to reward, and excellent craftsmen can be given official positions, especially for cannon bronze workers.

Those who do not want to be officials will be rewarded with two taels of grain and silver every month, five stones and three buckets of rice per quarter, and will also be given houses and acres of land, and even more rewarded to generations of golden fire worship Tang'a.

When Tiancong was four years old, due to the triumphant return of Houjin, he was rewarded with a special edict for the iron official Fan Jucannon. In the fifth year of Tiancong, Wang Tianxiang, a cannon maker, was promoted from a slave to worship him Rabul Hafan, and in March of the seventh year of Tiancong, he was promoted to reserve the emperor with the merit of creating and casting.

For the Han people in Liaodong, casting the system was a stepping stone for their development in the Qing Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the careful work of these craftsmen that the weapons produced by the Qing Kingdom can be excellent.

When the Huang Taiji car arrived, the superintendent Ma Guangyuan, the superintendent Ding Qiming, Ji Shichang, the imperial Zhu Shizhen, Wang Tianxiang, as well as the big and small iron officials, important casters and so on respectfully greeted each other.

Among the Han officials who welcomed each other, the first was the superintendent Ma Guangyuan.

It was originally a general of Jianchang in the Ming Dynasty, and four years after Tiancong, the Jin Army Keyongping, Ma Guangyuan led his troops to surrender and awarded Meler Ezhen. In August of the second year of Chongde, Huang Taiji divided Wuzhen Chaoha into two wings, with Shi Tingzhu governing the left wing, Ma Guangyuan governing the right wing, and serving as Gushan Ezhen.

Ma Guangyuan is slippery by nature, and he is no different from the thoughts of other military leaders in the Ming Dynasty, and he does everything possible to preserve the strength of his subordinates as the capital to settle down. In the third year of Chongde, Ma Guangyuan and Shi Tingzhu transported firearms to attack Jinzhou, and when they besieged Jinzhou next to Taiwan, Ming Shou would flee, and Ma Guangyuan would not chase him.

In the fourth year of Chongde in history, when Ma Guangyuan led his troops to attack Songshan, he was unwilling to contribute. He also repeatedly sheltered Ji Shichang, a staff member of the Ministry of Staff, causing his cannon to be not medium-range. He was punished by Huang Taiji several times.

However, Ma Guangyuan's official fortune has been very good, due to the influence of Wang Dou, earlier than history, Huang Taiji established the Han Eight Banners, not long ago, Ma Guangyuan was appointed as the Han Army inlaid with the yellow flag of the solid mountain Ezhen.

After Huang Taiji arrived, Ma Guangyuan led the mountains to shout long live, Huang Taiji asked them to get up, and after seeing the scene of the cannon casting, he asked Ma Guangyuan: "How about the red-clothed cannon and bird dysprosium?" ”

Ma Guangyuan ignored the dirtiness underground, and hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Back to the emperor, if the iron material is sufficient, thirty I Shenwei generals can be cast within the year." Its cannon is 4,000 catties each, 5 catties of medicine, 10 catties of iron, loaded on the gun wagon, will be able to attack and destroy the fortified city, strengthen the prestige of our country, compared to the day of the cong year. God bless the general, even sharper! ”

"As for the bird system, although there is a shortage of relevant craftsmen, the minister has selected candidates, and it is expected that 5,000 strokes will be completed within the year."

Huang Taiji nodded slowly, when it was still Dajin, the newly cast "Heavenly Blessing Helping General" cannon was up to 5,000 catties, 8 catties of medicine, and 8 catties of iron, which was extremely bulky. In terms of power, it is not as good as the newly created Shenwei General Cannon.

Regarding the bird system, the Qing Dynasty even had craftsmen who cast guns, and there was no shortage of craftsmen who made bird dysprosium. However, the Qing Kingdom did not pay attention to it before, but after meeting Wang Douhou...... The related production is rough and rough, and it is inevitably a little rusty, and the construction of the system is not so handy compared to the construction of artillery.

He said: "When you hear about the casting of cannons in the West, two or three out of ten are called national hands, and there has never been a hundred and a hundred." This red-coated cannon, the weapon of the country, does not have to worry about the materials, but it must not be wasted. The bird dysprosium is a sharp weapon against the Ming general Wang Dou, and it must also be carefully controlled, and it must not be slack. ”

Ma Guangyuan hurriedly said: "But please rest assured, the minister will definitely save the weapon, carefully prepare the bureau of storing artillery and medicine, check it once a month, and make sure that everything is lawful, which is to see his duty." ”

Huang Taiji praised and said to the supervisor Ding Qiming: "Ding Aiqing supervises the production of all weapons, and he also needs to be attentive and diligent. ”,

The supervisor Ding Qiming was responsible for the Qing Dynasty's Hongyi cannon and bird system, he was originally the deputy assistant of the Beijing camp Rongzheng and the standard general of Liu Zhilun, the right attendant of the military department, and the deputy general, and had the reputation of "good at casting red-clothed cannons" in the Ming Dynasty.

After his return, in the year of Tiancong, he was responsible for supervising the production of a series of . Tianyou cheered the general, Hongyi cannon, commanded craftsmen Jin Shixiang, Wang Tianxiang, etc., successfully cast a batch of cannons, which was appreciated by Huang Taiji.

But...... Because it was a battle victory, rather than a voluntary surrender, after arriving in the Qing Dynasty, the official fortune was not as good as Ma Guangyuan. He surrendered on his own initiative, and since the Great Ran Jingshi took over his family, Ma Guangyuan was promoted to a first-class commander-in-chief, his brother Ma Guangxian was also awarded a second-class general, and his younger brother Ma Guanghui was awarded a guerrilla.

Ding Qiming was a deputy general in Daming, but he was only awarded a second-class general, how could this convince him? Recently, Ma Guangyuan was even appointed as the Han Army's Gushan Ezhen with a yellow flag, and every time he saw his triumphant appearance, Ding Qiming became angry.

After hearing Huang Taiji's words, he also knelt down and said, "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord is humiliated and the ministers are dead." The emperor can rest assured that the ministers will be loyal and determined to build a series of firearms for the emperor. ”

He boasted: "In the past, craftsmen's workshops used the method of lost wax to cast cannons, and if the weather was hot, the wax would not be easy to condense, and it was often limited by the season. Chensi's easy mud casting method, the mud can be dried in April, and the mold mud can be beaten away, not limited by the weather. ”

"Of course ......"

He also criticized himself: "Although this method is not limited by the season, it cannot be repeated. If there are many flaws in the inner wall of the system, it must also be destroyed and recast. ”

Ding Qiming had a very regretful look on his face.

A smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face and said, "It is rare for Aiqing to have such a heart for the country. If the ministers are like Ding Aiqing, why can't I prosper in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Behind him, the ministers were full of the emperor's holy voice, and only Dolxiang's face was gloomy.

Just last month, his younger brother Dosh was demoted to Baylor, and his slaves, livestock, and finances were divided. What's even more hateful is that the Manchu, Han, and Mongolian cattle records to which its banner belongs are divided into three parts. On that day, the dignified Prince Yu did not have much wealth left.

Killing chickens and arrogant monkeys, it seems that Huang Taiji's goal in the future is himself.

Seeing Ding Qiming competing for favor with the emperor in front of him, Ma Guangyuan next to him glanced at him meaningfully.

Huang Taiji finally said: "Ma Guangyuan, Ding Qiming and Zhuqing have made meritorious contributions to the construction of firearms, and they have passed on the decree to give Ma Qing a good horse with a carved saddle and a hundred taels of silver." Give Ding Qing a good horse and fifty taels of silver. Jin Shixiang and Wang Tianxiang reworked to give ten taels of silver and two pieces of cloth. ”

When the emperor Taiji drove the honor guard away, in the voice of congratulating the emperor, Ma Guangyuan, Ding Qiming and others knelt deeply on the ground and did not look up for a long time.

After seeing the craftsman's workshop, Huang Taiji was in a good mood, and he set up a martial arts arena in the north of Shengjing City.

When Huang Taiji arrived, the Han army was the red flag of the solid mountain and the real hole was virtuous, the blue flag was really gratifying, and the yellow flag was really Geng Zhongming. There are also Gushan Ezhen, Shi Tingzhu and others with white flags who are greeting each other in front of the martial arts arena.

Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming three people are known as Shandong three mine disciples, after the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, all three were crowned kings, also known as Sanshun Wangkou Chongzhen eleven years of looting back, Huang Taiji formed the Han Eight Banners, all three were appointed as solid mountain Ezhen, the original Kong Youde Department of the Heavenly Blessing Army, Geng Zhongming's Department of the Heavenly Aid Army, all into the Han Army flags.

The three of them are all subordinates of Mao Wenlong, and they are all miners, all of them are tall and big, and they have a fierce appearance. Historically, after they returned to the Qing Dynasty, they could not change their bad habits of adultery and plunder. However, his combat power has improved a lot, and he has dyed his top red by slaughtering his compatriots.

The Han army next to the three of them is a white flag Gushan Ezhen Shi Tingzhu is also a burly man, with a bulging horizontal flesh on his face. It was originally garrisoned by Guangning in the Ming Dynasty, and when Nurhachi attacked Guangning, Shi Tingzhu and his brother Shi Tianzhu and others surrendered and were awarded the position of guerrilla.

Shi Tingzhu has a tyrannical personality, and he is always captive in battle, and he is unrestrained, and after returning to the Qing Dynasty, he does not change his nature.

It seems that many generals of the Ming Dynasty are such a vulgar and murderous image, cowering at the enemy. Like a wolf to the people. If it is said that they were suppressed by civil officials, but when they turned over to be masters at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they did not see much loyalty. Desperately accumulating strength, just to wait for the day when he will take refuge in his new master. The scourge of martial artists, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, has not changed in the slightest.

Like Ma Guangyuan, Shi Tingzhu is most interested in the strength of his subordinates, who can avoid war, and plunder as much as possible Chongde in June of the second year, Bao Chengxian impeached him for ten crimes such as "disorderly class release", and was dismissed from the post of Gushan Ezhen on the left wing of the Han army.

In the fourth year of Chongde in history, Shi Tingzhu and Ma Guangyuan were accused of failing to do their best when attacking Songshan. Shi Tingzhu should be a family property of 30%, Ma Guangyuan is dead, although Huang Taiji forgives his crimes, but uses this opportunity to weaken the power of the two again, before Huang Taiji arrives, they are laughing and talking about something, on the surface they are a group of harmony, in fact, what they are thinking in their hearts, only they understand. ,

The internal struggle of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was also very fierce, and there was a dispute between Shi Tingzhu's old Han army and Ma Guangyuan's new Han army. After Kong Youde and others arrived, there was a dispute between the old Han army of Shi and Ma and the new Han army such as Kong Youde.

Even the kings of Sanshun also fought openly and secretly, and when Tiancong was young, Kong Youde impeached Geng Zhongming for invading his old department, and it was a good toss.

However, after Huang Taiji established the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, in the face of the attack of the banner owners of Manchu and Mongolia, the Han officials and Han generals faintly had the intention of becoming first-class, and the joint - this article is transferred from TML - to compete for favor in front of Huang Taiji, the situation is very delicate.

The Huang Taiji honor guard arrived, and the advanced one was the Huang Taiji's Ge Bush Xianchao Ha warrior, with iron hooves rolling in, bright armor, and strict military appearance.

This kind of majesty made Kong Youde and the others have a look of horror on their faces. Although they have a large number of Wuzhen Chaoha artillery teams under their banners, they are still subconsciously afraid of the power of the Qing State's cavalry and archery. The reason why they surrendered was also because they were afraid of their iron hooves.

Followed by the Emperor Taiji's great driving book, after the ceremony was separated, the huge canopy of the Emperor Taiji was revealed.

Kong Youde and the others stepped forward to bow down, bowed three times and knocked nine times, long live Shanhu Looking at these Han generals, Huang Taiji's face showed a complicated look, and soon he said: "Zhongqing, please get up." ”

After everyone got up, he asked, "How is the training of the Han army?" ”

The Han army is busy saying that the white flag is solid and the real stone Tingzhu is busy: "Back to the emperor, the micro-ministers live up to the emperor's expectations, and the sergeants in the banner are skilled in inspecting and firing artillery and birds, please ask the emperor to parade." ”

Shi Tingzhu was originally an official general in the cultivation banner, and when Emperor Taiji of Tiancong reviewed the newly formed Han soldiers in the fifth year of Tiancong, he was quite appreciative of his military appearance. After the death of Yi Yang, Shi Tingzhu was responsible for the Han army's artillery training.

Huang Taiji didn't say anything, and praised Shi Tingzhu.

Kong Youde once followed Huang Taiji and Wang Dou to fight in Pinggu, he figured out his mind and understood what the emperor longed for in his heart, he said: "Back to the emperor, after the ministers from the Ming State class, every day I think about how to fight against Wang Dou's army. Fortunately, he did not disgrace his life, and the ministers tried their best to practice, and the sergeants have been quite skilled in the formation of firearms, and in time, they should be able to fight with the king! ”

"Good!"

Huang Taiji was really happy, and he said: "Lian will take a look for himself, Kong Aiqing's military array drill!" ”

Kong Youde's red flag is no different from the Manchurian and Mongolian flags, but he is holding a bird tong and carrying a waist knife at his waist. There were only a few thousand armored soldiers, and they only wore no iron cotton armor. The array they put out was like a copy of Wang Dou's in Pinggu at that time.

How to line up, how to maintain the command, how to fight in battle, and so on, are exactly the same as Wang Dou's army at that time.

There is an emperor watching from the table tennis, and the Han soldiers who are in the red flag are all trying their best to hold their heads high, and the shouts are earth-shattering, but they are not small.

Seeing them in array, the army was very solemn, Huang Taiji nodded from time to time, and the princes and nobles behind him also exchanged ears.

Kong Youde stood beside Huang Taiji, his tall body bent down desperately, lowered his body and said: "A few months ago, I fought with Wang Dou, and the ministers put up a three-fold formation, and Wang Doubu only met in a thin and thin queue, and the result was unexpected. Afterwards, the ministers carefully thought about the reason why Wang Doubu was like this, and understood the truth of their array, only in this way can the effectiveness of the bird dysprosium be maximized! ”

"Therefore, if the minister concocts the law, he will be able to use his way in the future, and give back to him, so that the thief will be miserable!"

There was some arrogance in his words: "I still have Wuzhen Chaoha Datong in the Qing Dynasty, and I will fight with Wang Dou in the coming day, and my army will bombard its troops with red-clothed cannons, and then the bird will meet it, and we will definitely be able to defeat its troops!" ”
