"Everyone, don't be impatient, this is the latest Western artillery, named ......"

Fan Wencheng's face twitched, this improved new type of Furlong cannon, the Westerners said a name, but even Zheng Zhihu, who Hong Chengchou found a matchmaker, didn't know how to translate. I guess what it should be called the improved version of the Furlong cannon, right? But it's not a lofty name!

"It's called Kamui General Cannon!" In just a short moment, Fan Wencheng was in a hurry and said the name of this incomparable bull fork.

Huang Taiji laughed, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and said continuously: "Okay! - Good! After a pause, he continued, "Let's start the test firing!" ”

"The slave obeys the order-" Fan Wencheng replied in a sloppy voice, turned his head to the gunners and said, "Bullet-on-medicine!" ”

The shells and gunpowder had already been prepared, and the gunners immediately started to reload as soon as they received the order, and then, Fan Wencheng gave another order: "Ignite!" ——”

As soon as the fuse was ignited, several sergeants fell down, covered their ears with their hands, and opened their mouths wide.

Fortifications had been erected about a mile in front of the cannon, the first with a row of wooden fences, the second with a wall of hundreds of sandbags filled with earth, and the third with a few empty chariots. In general, the Franc cannons of the past did not completely destroy these things. However, it was only for a short moment -

There was a loud bang, and the mountains shook in an instant, and the smoke flew and the fog was filled......

The expressions of the people on the field changed greatly, and Dai Shan and Hauge, who were originally sitting, had already stood up unconsciously; The timid people have been shaken all over, and no matter how calm they are, they have been deaf and dizzy. The war horse tied not far away was frightened like this. It has already been hissing wildly, making the sound of the scene more noisy.

This kind of posture was originally too much stronger than the tattered artillery that had captured the Ming army before. Although Huang Taiji himself tried his best to maintain his sitting posture and unchanged expression, his heart was beating uncontrollably.

After a while. The smell of gunpowder gradually faded, no longer heavy and choking, and the smoke and dust that covered the air gradually dissipated, and the scene in front of them slowly became clear—what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a dilapidated picture, with wooden fences, earthen walls, and chariots gone, and fragments of various objects scattered all over the ground.

Everyone was stunned by this picture, and they did not make any sound for a long time, and it took a long time for a long burst of thunderous applause. Then came the cheers that rang out in the sky:

"Congratulations to the Khan......"

"King Hehi Khan—"

Everyone was fascinated, and the Jurchen nobles who had been educated by the sharp firearms of the Tuanshan Army also laughed loudly, and celebrated one by one - well, in addition to playing their hats, they all brushed the disgusting money rat tail in the back of their heads......

Of course, Huang Taiji's heart was even more ecstatic, and no matter how hard he tried to maintain a calm appearance, he couldn't hide it. With this cannon, what are you afraid of? So, Huang Taiji got up from his seat. He stretched out his arms and made a gesture for everyone to get up, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha-hahaha——! ”

While laughing wildly, Huang Taiji announced:

"Those who have made meritorious contributions to the purchase of guns will be rewarded. Those who already have an official position will be given one level, and those who have no official position will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, if they are gunners. The concession refers to the military exploits of the Tuanshan Army to raise the Eight Banners! ”

"Wow-" A sound of surprise immediately came to mind, and if you buy a cannon, you will be promoted to a higher rank. It's really eye-catching! The Han military flag that followed was even more commotion, because it was just last month. Great Khan Huang Taiji re-established the rules for the matter of elevating his nationality.

In the past, the Han Eight Banners were third-class citizens, not to mention that the traitors and two dogs have been accustomed to it for so many years. But Huang Taiji made a ruthless move this time, and all the Han Army Banners who fought with the Tuanshan Army and won the first-level combat merits were allowed to become a member of the Eight Banners! Huang Taiji made this out, but also to encourage the Han military banner to work hard for the Houjin country, this Nima third-class citizen can be on par with the first-class citizen, and the Han military flag does not burst out with boundless fighting spirit?

Therefore, now the biggest wish of the traitor and the second dog is to have a "capital hukou", ah, no, Jurchen hukou, and become a real Manchurian. The Han people who bought artillery this time did not need to fight against the Tuanshan Army to enter the Manchurian Eight Banners, which was too envious and jealous of the two Tartars!

Huang Taiji was in a good mood and said loudly: "This cannon has been booked by my Dajin Kingdom through the Zheng family to find Westerners, and now the first batch of ships is only twenty. In the future, these cannons will serve the life of our Dajin Kingdom, and King Ben Khan will crown it as 'God Bless Cheering General'! ”

Even the cannon was named "General", of course, the spiritual significance is greater than the practicality, but the morale of everyone present was also boosted in this way. Everyone was so excited that even Prince Li, who was older than Huang Taiji and had always had a conservative and steady personality, couldn't help but grab Huang Taiji's arms happily and said excitedly: "My Dajin Kingdom has been crisscrossing Liaodong for decades, expanding its territory for more than 1,000 miles, and I never thought that I would lose last year - now, King Khan bought advanced Western artillery, and he can fight to the death with the Tuanshan army, and I am ashamed!" ”

Big Brother Haoge yelled even more: "Now, we can recover the lost territory in Liaozhong and Liaonan!" ”

It seems that in his consciousness, the land in Liaozhong and southern Liaoning, which was snatched from the Ming Dynasty in more than ten years, is the ancestral residence of the Jurchens for generations.

Fan Wencheng led all the people involved in the arms trade to receive the reward, and a few Han people carried the Eight Banners on the spot, and their faces showed gratitude. And Hong Chengchou, the biggest contributor to the purchase of guns this time, was not here, he followed the Zheng family's fleet south to Macao, to see if he could find Westerners to buy some self-made firearms.

Moreover, these new Western artillery pieces are only the first batch, and the follow-up transactions will also have to be followed up by Hong Chengchou, so Lord Hong is really the busiest person in the Houjin Kingdom at present, and there is no one.

Such a test ceremony was completed, and after Huang Taiji left, the rest of the people began to slowly return to the city. There was a carriage in the procession back to the city, on which sat the traitor magnates Fan Wencheng and Kong Youde, and the two were chatting with each other.

Since Kong Youde "went to the road" and sent 100,000 taels of silver to Fan Wencheng, the relationship between the two has heated up sharply, and the atmosphere of picking up soap has become very noisy.

At this moment, Fan Wencheng's face in the carriage was slightly flushed, he opened the curtains to look at the situation outside the window, and then closed the curtains again. Fan Wencheng glanced at Kong Youde and said lightly: "What Lord Hong means, in the future, this arms trade will be controlled in the hands of our Han people, and the so-called seeers have a share, and you also have a profit." ”

Kong Youde was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a sneer: "Lord Hong is mighty, and Mr. Fan is wise!" (To be continued.) )
