End of December 1643

The struggle for the throne of the Khan within the Later Jin Dynasty has come to an end, and history has indeed developed according to the process it should be, and the historical Emperor Shunzhi successfully ascended to the throne of the Great Khan with the help of his mother.

Dolgon and Hauge, who had paid the most for this struggle, did not gain at all, and of course it cannot be said that Dolgon, as the old lover of the one, still gained considerable benefits.

As soon as Shunzhi ascended the throne, he was named the regent, the name of the regent is a fictitious title, but he is in charge of the actual power, to say that the harem has nothing to do with Dolgon is really suspicious.

These two hooked up back and forth, and Dolgon became the actual ruler of Houjin, and the mother who also got her wish ascended to the position of the queen mother with her son, but according to historical records, this one would not be willing to be lonely, so he was held by Dolgon.

Although Dolgon is strong now, at least he has no intention of seizing the throne, and Dolgon and Hauge's uncle and nephew can be said to be mutually balanced and restrained.

To a certain extent, this can be said to have helped Dolgon strengthen his strength, which is a good thing for Australia, when Dolgon's ambition swells to a certain extent, then it will inevitably be suppressed from all sides.

It's just that at present, after the lord became the regent, he seemed to be in a hurry to give his little nephew a big gift, and all the newly arrived cannons from Australia were distributed to his two white flag soldiers.

The firepower of the two white flag armies can be said to have reached the highest in Houjin, and before the soldiers came to a run-in period, he had already approached the level of the troops towards Shanhaiguan again, and this time the posture was not like a test firing.

This news was received by Feng Zihai and immediately sent back to China, and Dolgon's sudden combat intentions have not yet been clarified.

Once the Shanhai Pass is breached, it can be worse for Chongzhen, and it will even speed up the time of the demise of the Ming Dynasty. However, with Dorgon's mind, he should not risk attacking at this time, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Guanning Army are stationed here, which is not vegetarian.

There are also 26-pounder cannons imported from Australia in Zheshan Pass, which are not so easy to break.

The news of Dolgon's entry into the mountain customs has reached Wu Sangui, and the news that the other party has obtained a lot of artillery has also been understood, this time Wu Sangui does not intend to deal with it in a peaceful way, but to fight hard.

Wu Sangui set up all the artillery that could be used on the city wall, and his artillery would not show mercy as long as Dorgon's army dared to press forward.

At this time, Dolgon, who was still immersed in the joy of the last time, actually came this time mainly for the purpose of making soy sauce, but he was ready to make up for all his losses from Wu Sangui.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. But half of his heart is distressed, although this money is from Wu Sangui, but in his hands it is his own, and there is an important reason on the other side, Dolgon has always been very excited about the cannon with a long barrel, this kind of sharp weapon is an artifact of the battlefield at a glance, so he forced the craftsmen to get this thing out.

Although it is to engage in imitation, imitation also requires capital investment, and how to do it without money.

Said so far. The workshop hadn't been able to make a single cannon yet, and even how the running barrel had managed to be so long without breaking in the recoil.

Dolgon had managed to get caught up in the Australian cannon program, and now the main problem was that he was once again investing more money in imitations, and the 26-pounder gun copycat was stopped because of the imitation. This makes Australia finally see a glimmer of hope, as long as this guy can continue to insist, he is not afraid of not dragging down Houjin's economy, so as to indirectly control their arsenal.

I have to say. Sometimes the plan proposed by Zhao Shijie is indeed very good, and it can even be said that from many aspects, it is inevitable that such a person will become president after more than ten years.

Wu Sangui, who was there, was also ready at Shanhaiguan at this time, waiting for Dolgon's arrival. At present, there are more than 80,000 defenders in Shanhaiguan, and the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is still there, and it is not something that Dolgon can fight if he wants to.

The two sides started a confrontation on the battlefield, and this time Dolgon wanted to learn from the last time, using the method of confrontation to force Wu Sangui to compromise.

It's just that Wu Sangui doesn't have much savings in his hands, and it is impossible to make a compromise again, the last time it wasn't for the preservation of strength, he had already gone to war, since the other party didn't know what to do, then he couldn't blame himself, in order to let the other party withdraw his troops as soon as possible, Wu Sangui launched an attack first.

The artillery above the city gate fired in unison, and the long-range bubble projectile fired from high down was already stronger than the attack from the ground, although Wu Sangui did not have too many 26-pounder guns in his hands, but in fact, he also had many Hongyi cannons.

Dolgon, who didn't expect Wu Sangui to suddenly counterattack, was beaten and caught off guard, and promptly ordered the troops to return fire.

Hundreds of new 26-pounder guns fired in unison, the scene was still very spectacular, and even the shells were imported from Australia, which was not comparable to their own knockoffs.

Wu Sangui, who didn't expect that Dolgon would have so many artillery, was also surprised, but he learned that Houjin's army didn't bring too much grain and grass when they came out, and they couldn't hold out for long, their purpose should be a quick battle, and at this time, as long as they dragged it for a few days, it was estimated that the other party would not be able to bear it.

Although the opponent's firepower is fierce, Wu Sangui does not suffer much because he occupies the terrain, and it can even be said that he has some small advantages.

In the face of Wu Sangui's counterattack, Dolgon did not withdraw his troops immediately, but after a tentative attack, he found that the resistance was very stubborn, and it seemed that this time the idea of making a fortune from Wu Sangui was about to fail.

He wondered if his plan had been revealed, and the other party must have resisted so fiercely because he knew that he didn't have much food and grass with him, and the ultimate intention was still for the silver.

It can't go on like this, he is not ready to enter the customs, even if he breaks through the Shanhaiguan, he will not gain anything, not to mention that now his position is predetermined, and Haoge is staring at him from the side.

Once the loss of troops is too large, it will be very dangerous, the combat effectiveness of the two white flags has always been the strongest, and Wu Sangui's Guanning army combat effectiveness is not weak, so Dolgon did not plan to continue the attack, but took the last confrontation method, from time to time to launch a small-scale attack, so that the other party does not know what his true intentions are, this is what he needs to do most at present.
