Liu Min had all the way back and met a lot of people from other military towns, and when they saw that it was the Flying Tiger Banner of Dengzhou Town that opened the way, they immediately gave way away. These troops marched in a messy column, and there were a large number of people who had fallen behind them, and when they saw Dengzhou Town coming, they gathered on the side of the road and asked Dengzhou if they were recruiting.

The guards were on guard, and all the short guns were loaded with ammunition, but fortunately, those guerrillas did not have the courage to come up, and after walking for a while, Liu Minyou caught up with the dragoons, and Zhu Dai Chūn's guards sent Liu Minyou to Zhong Lao's four places, gave Zhong Lao Si an order to escort him, and then turned back to chase Zhu Dai Chūn's main force.

Liu Minyou asked Zhong Laosi: "Deputy Battalion Officer Zhong, I have heard Lord Chen say many times that you have brains in battle, do you think you can catch up with the Liukou in this pursuit?" ”

Zhong Lao Si said with a grin: "If you can't catch up, according to the Henan intelligence summary transferred by the Military Order Department last time, most of the Henan Mao soldiers are in northern Henan, and they are all used to intercept the east of Liukou, and the same is true for the guest troops of various departments." There are less than 4,000 people in Luoyang Kaifeng, and the actual soldiers are only 2,000. This heavy snow is all over the sky, and dozens of streams are running around, and He Nanbing may be so frightened that he pees his pants. ”

Liu Minyou turned his head to look at Zhong Laosi, "Zhu Dai Chūn is all infantry, and they can't catch up according to what you say, so why are they still in such a hurry, and what are they doing in September and October?" ”

"Zhu Dai chūn this guy ......" Zhong Laosi scolded for half a sentence and quickly stopped, his eyes rolled to Liu Min and said: "This fight is still jīngtong, and this one can't be done if you don't chase it." The rogues want to grab food and drink everywhere, and some people chase after them, and the damage to the place is smaller. As soon as they heard that we were coming to Dengzhou Town, they were busy running. I didn't have time to search for the people who were hiding. ”

"I see." Liu Minyou felt that Zhong Laosi was also reasonable, it was better to chase than not to chase.

Zhong Laosi looked at Liu Min and was still thinking. Hurriedly forked out and said: "Mr. Liu, you brought more than ten four-wheeled carriages and walked two hundred miles before three were broken, what is going on, I heard that only four of them broke down when you walked from Denglai to Linxian." ”

"It's too heavy." Liu Minyou was really led to this kind of technical problem, he frowned and said, "I told Zhu Dai Chūn that the official road in Henan is not in good condition, let him decorate it less, but those baggage soldiers are good." Not only is it very full, but there are also people sitting on it, which is naturally easy to break. ”

"This four-wheeled carriage is actually very useful, if this time the baggage battalion is all four-wheeled, then our dragoons can also keep up, I calculated, the eight-hung one could only pull more than ten stones before, and now it is not a problem to use four wheels to pull twenty or thirty stones."

Liu Min nodded and said, "That's true, but there are some problems with this road in the Northland." The official roads everywhere are in disrepair, and some places may be better with two wheels, so I will bring you more than ten cars to try, and there are really some problems. ”

"Then Lord Liu. Let me ask something, this time the other departments of the General Military Office did not send anyone here, so what are those people from the Military Affairs Department doing here? I heard that I was going to be assessed. Can you tell me a little bit more thoroughly? ”

He turned his head to look at the dragoons around him, and smiled at Zhong Laosi: "This time, the people from the Military Affairs Department came to the assessment. Prepare to turn all your dragoons into musketeers, all with bayonets......"

Zhong Laosi clapped his hands excitedly. Before Liu Minyou could finish speaking, he interrupted: "I didn't want to use the spear of Na Laoshzi, the horsemen are also very troublesome to carry, when the pursuit is in the way, and they can't be put away from a distance, after dismounting, they can't move after the formation is completed, unless there are other battalions to match, it is best to use the detachment, and now it is all the detachment." ”

Liu Minyou looked at Zhong Laosi dancing and shook his head, this person sometimes looks annoying, but he doesn't bend his bowels, and he is also pleasant to get along with.

In Zhong Laosi's nagging, the two followed the red sè's dragoon brigade to the Huixian camp. Liu Minyou is still the first time to come to Henan, the ruins along the way shocked him, there is hardly a complete village in northern Henan, there is no one for a hundred miles after the rogues, there are a lot of corpses on the side of the road, most of them are rogues and vagrants, or the officers and soldiers are forcibly pulled Dingkou, many have been covered with snow.

"In this place of Henan, droughts, floods, and locust plagues have come in turn, and now there are more rogues, and the destructive power of the rogues is greater than the previous three combined. Deputy Battalion Officer Zhong, you are also from a bitter background, and it is good to think of more ways to destroy the rogues for a day earlier. ”

Zhong Laosi stopped nagging, glanced at Liu Minyou secretly, lowered his head and sighed, "This, Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan actually feels that it is more comfortable to fight Jiannu." ”

Liu Minyou smiled when he heard this: "Jiannu was beaten to the ground this year, and now I don't know how to cry my nose." ”……

In the Houjin workshop in the north of Shenyang, a long table was placed in the high wall, on which more than a dozen flintlock pistols were placed, and several people with dogskin hats were looking through the table, and there were two Houjin soldiers behind no one to draw their knives and watch.

A few steps behind the long table was a group of white-armored soldiers with flags on their backs, and Huang Taiji sat high in the middle, because he was close to Rì to test the muskets, so Sony arranged for the most sharp forward soldiers to guard and monitor, so as not to have sudden evil thoughts of the surrendered Dengzhou soldiers.

He Changchang was also in front of the long table, he cautiously looked at Houjin's musket, and pulled the hammer several times, the force was slightly lighter than Dengzhou's, he estimated that the reed inside was thinner, or the bullet was worse.

Tang Yingtai, who surrendered with him, tried other guns, but there was no problem that they could not be bulleted, obviously Houjin's supervisor did a good job, and the quality was still basically guaranteed. The barrel is a little different, the diameter and the thickness of the wall are not the same, and some of the differences are relatively large, especially the outer wall of the barrel is rough, and it is impossible to install a bayonet.

In the middle of the table is the musket seized from Dengzhou Town, although it is not jīng, but it has been very durable, and the work difference is not as exaggerated as the Houjin musket, because Wendeng's measuring tool has a correction every quarter, the manufacturing process is completely divided, and there is a corresponding functional division, process control and quality control are available, plus the application of machinery such as hydraulic drill pipes and rolling mills, the quality and output are not comparable to Houjin, and Houjin just makes the iron sheet of the barrel It takes a lot of man-hours.

Dengzhou also does not have a high level of requirements for workers in a one-man way, and everyone only needs to familiarize themselves with their part. But He Changjiu didn't know any of the processes of the workshop, so they couldn't give Huang Taiji any suggestions for manufacturing. It can only be seen how different the finished product is.

After looking at it for a while, they began to reload with the paper bullets on the table. This kind of paper-wrapped bullet is the idea of surrendering troops, and it is relatively simple to make zuò. It can be made by arranging the coating in the cattle record by each flag itself.

Several people each chose a suitable musket, and began to bang shè, several cāo of the number of soldiers were used as muskets, the shè speed was about two rounds per minute, Tang Yingtai's shè speed was particularly fast, about three shots per minute, and the long wooden planks seventy paces away flew sawdust.

Looking at Huang Taiji's face in the back, these Dengzhou soldiers were very skilled, and the terrible thing was that they came from different Dengzhou camp heads. The original station was hundreds of miles away, and the cāo movements were almost identical, and there were two people who were even spearmen, and the musket had only been trained in basic cāo.

This kind of firepower is very terrifying after becoming Qi shè, and has given the Houjin archers a fatal blow many times, Yue Tuo, Unag and Abatai are all deeply touched, and Shi Tingzhu next to him is the most injured, he has witnessed Qi shè many times in the two battles of Shenmi Island and Fuzhou, and that kind of earth-shattering blow has made him terrified to this day.

After the Battle of Arthur, Jin suffered heavy losses. New firearms emerged in Dengzhou one after another, and all the banners of Houjin felt the huge impact of firearms on cold weapons, and with the current armament of the Eight Banners, there was almost no way to face the strong defense of firepower. If you encounter a place like Lushun that is not encircled, you can only stare dryly.

After the Jin soldiers entered the winter, they withdrew the men and horses of Fuzhou, and there were no heavy troops to defend it until Yulinpu. To the south of Yulinpu, there were only sentinels with a small amount of provisions, which were used as anti-reconnaissance outposts. The strategic passivity of the Houjin in the whole of southern Liaoning has been formed. Xiuyan and other places were attacked by Dengzhou Town and Dongjiang Town in September and October, and will soon be abandoned.

After Huang Taiji returned to Lushun, he closed the door and thought about it for a few days. Then he came out to deal with the difficulties of Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai, and privately asked Yue Tuo, Hao Ge and others to ask about the surrender of Dengzhou, and constantly let the craftsmen improve in the workshop, and now rì is to test the newly made batch of flintlock pistols.

The supervising vanguard soldiers were very nervous, and the rear were all at the level of the banner master and the general army, and there was no accident. Several people came back and knelt in front of Huang Taiji, waiting for the master's instructions.

Huang Taiji gently let a few people get up and said to them: "Several of them are brave men from Dengzhou Town, and you have all participated in the Battle of Lushun, I don't need to hide it, the strength of Dengzhou's firearms has surpassed ancient and modern times, and I can't do it with a lot of money." The number of firearms is also immeasurable, and I am amazed to watch you practice today. ”

Several people said in unison: "Xie Dahan praised." ”

Sonny looked at Huang Taiji with some pride, this is what he taught these soldiers, and these people even had to kneel, because there was no kneeling in the Denglai army, so it was easy to teach a look.

Huang Taiji said to Tang Yingtai: "I heard that you were also a detachment in the past, and you are the most proficient in firearms, since you have used my Dajin flintlock pistol, can you elaborate on the difference." ”

Tang Yingtai was dignified, and he replied respectfully: "Back to the Great Khan, Dajin's flintlock barrel wall is thick and heavy, and it will never explode, but the difference in the air diameter is bigger, and the slave thinks that when the flags are distributed, it is best to distribute them according to the close air diameter, at least the video of each cow is about the same, so that the lead mold can be shared." In addition, the thickness of the outer wall is different, and you can't use a sword, so each musketeer still needs to be equipped with a smooth sword. ”

"Sure enough, it's insightful." Huang Taiji nodded again and again, and said to Sony: "Reward Tang Ying Taiyin twenty taels, cotton cloth five boils." ”

Huang Taiji turned to He Changjiu again, He Changjiu was a little nervous, he knelt down and said: "The villain thinks that the musket is only one of them, a battalion still needs to be equipped with artillery, according to the establishment of Dengzhou, three hundred or five hundred with a cannon, the mandarin duck array even has a tiger squat cannon at the bureau level, only weighing more than 30 catties, if you don't use the iron bullet, the three of them can take away the cannon and ammunition, and use it to break the door and seal the road in the mountains. ”

Yue Tuo said in a low voice, "Great Khan, we have captured a lot of tiger squat cannons, but they have been a little old for a long time, most of them are rusty, and they have been used on Shenmi Island, and it is said that they are easy to explode, so they have to be rebuilt." ”

"Then reinvent it." Huang Taiji immediately made a decision, and then asked about the separate arrangements of the Dengzhou phalanx and the mandarin duck array, Tang Yingtai and He Changchang both knew that the basic establishment was something that every soldier should memorize.

Huang Taiji asked questions while listening, and several soldiers answered them one by one, and asked them for a quarter of an hour, in fact, there were some questions that Huang Taiji had asked, and at this time, he asked again in front of Yue Tuo and Shi Tingzhu and others to strengthen their impression.

After asking, Huang Taiji gave each soldier a reward, and then asked Bayala to lead them away, and only Houjin's generals were left in the courtyard. Huang Taiji asked the guards to retreat farther away, leaving only the generals around him.

"Most of you have been to Lushun, and you have just seen a few Han soldiers' cāo methods, Shi Tingzhu, tell me what you think."

"Slave ......" Shi Tingzhu suddenly heard the roll call and hurriedly replied, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and suddenly reacted and said: "The slave thinks that the Han army should be organized, give it land, get rid of the identity of the household under the banner, and use the Dengzhou cāo method and firearms, so that my Dajin has a strong army." ”

Ma Guangyuan also said after listening, "The slave seconded the proposal, in previous years, the Ming State had a Hongyi cannon, and I made a golden blessing to help the general, this sharp weapon is no longer unique to the enemy, and the Daling River broke the car formation in a battle, which is a flexible effect." Although the town of Dengzhou is disgusting now, its firearms and cāo law are really desirable, and they can also be owned by my Dajin. ”

Huang Taiji turned to Yue Tuo and Haoge again, Yue Tuo hurriedly said: "The slave thinks that what Ma Guangyuan said has some truth, when the old Khan attacked Ningyuan, the Great Khan took the Ming people as his teacher, and recruited craftsmen to make red-clothed cannons, and now I can also attack Lushun without Ke, my Dajin can also Dengzhou as a teacher, my Dajin has the strength of archery and horse foot combat, and the only thing lacking is firearms, if it is made up, then Dengzhou is not to be afraid." ”

Huang Taiji nodded, "This is easy to say, but Wuzhen Chaoha has been built for two or three years, and the Han soldiers are still under the banners. It is no longer possible to fight with Dengzhou with Baoyi as an army, and there are few Zhushen, let alone cāo to practice firearms, so we have to build a real Han soldier to compete with Dengzhou Town. I plan to set an example by separating the young and strong Han people from the Zhenghuang Banner, and each person will be divided into the Han Army Banner with Wuzhen Chaoha, and each flag will also be released. ”

Yue Tuo hesitated and said: "Great Khan, this year has lost a lot of clothing, and if this is the case, there will be a lot less labor in each banner, I'm afraid it's a little hard to say." ”

"So I still have to think about it." Huang Taiji turned his head to look at the Haoge people behind him, "Some time ago, I explained that the country was in Henan and other places, and the Shanxi soldiers were dragged in Jinnan and other places. ”

"But the Great Khan, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Dengzhou Town are ...... in Jinzhou"

"Don't be afraid of him, then Chen Xin only has 2,000 cavalry, we retreat to Fuzhou, Layue will set off to attack Shanxi, it is very difficult for them to transport grain and grass in the ice and snow, the coast is frozen, their sailors can't send grain and grass, 10,000 infantry He doesn't dare to come out, thousands of infantry we can deal with Dajin."

Yue Tuo lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded slightly, Huang Taiji closed his eyes and said to a few people: "Let's send out half of the Eight Banners, let the Mongols send out some more people, and they are willing to go to the Xuanfu, if they don't take them into the customs again, they will get some benefits...... These are not so easy to dispatch. At the time of the political conference, you have to think of some way, so that all the banners agree to send troops, Dengzhou Town is entrenched in southern Liaoning, and the battle of Lushun is still cāo cut, but there is one I am more confirmed, Dengzhou Town is the trouble of my Dajin's heart, if I Dajin does not think of flexibility, there will be no time to recover, to change without manpower, money and food, and the strategy of Xuanfu is the first step.
