If the Netherlands in the 17th century was a big copycat country in Europe, then the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a big copycat country in the East.

After Dolgon discovered that the power of artillery was extraordinary when he attacked the Ming Dynasty, he began to study artillery, in his words, how can he use his hands to make the heavy weapon of the country, the meaning is very simple, that is, this thing must be made by himself.

Of course, those who relied on the Manchus themselves would never get it, and if you let them dig ginseng, hunt, or catch a few fish, or something, it's okay to get some artillery, it's like asking someone who has never read a book to write.

It's actually simple to not be able to build this, the Manchus have their own solutions, what are so many craftsmen who have been captured back for, these people will make it, as long as they are gathered together and let them study.

It turns out that this method is indeed good, these Ming craftsmen have been given some preferential treatment, and they have also made great efforts to imitate Australian artillery, and they have really bei9 These people have come out, although the performance is not very ideal, but it is not as good as it is, so Dolgon is still very satisfied with these people.

Some of them were even incorporated into the Han military flag, so that they could continue to work hard to imitate and make persistent efforts.

It wasn't until they knew that the Australians had dozens of more powerful artillery pieces in Hong Kong that they found out that the thing they had built was OUT, and it was not the same grade as others, this Australian was too good at playing, and I am afraid that I would need to redouble my efforts if I want to catch up.

It's just that sometimes the effort has to be in the right direction, and it's useless to go in the wrong direction, so Dolgon first ordered these people to do it themselves, and there was a reward for doing a good job, and then these craftsmen began to act, using the cannon graphics that the spies saw from Hong Kong to start making.

In accordance with the established proportions. Only then did I find out that the things I got out couldn't be used at all, and this special meow tried to blow up three people on the spot, this thing is so dangerous, fortunately Dolgon didn't stand on the side at that time, otherwise the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty might have to change.

These craftsmen didn't have this situation when they made the 26-pounder cannon before, but now that this situation is happening, they are too scared to do it, after all, life matters, who knows if there will be any danger next time, and whether it will kill people.

Dorgon saw everyone's concerns. The family members of the deceased were given a generous reward for participating in the production this time, the purpose of which is to let them know that the court will not treat you badly, work hard, and give you more rewards when the things come out.

Encouragement and encouragement made some people in the department continue to work with fear, but they didn't dare to experiment easily, after all, this thing is not a joke, and if it blows up, it will kill you.

In the end, some old craftsmen noticed that something was wrong and felt that the materials used in Australia should be better than those used by themselves, otherwise it would be easy to blow up after such a long time. And the longer the barrel, the easier it is to break.

But the industrious and intelligent craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty still overcame many difficulties, and they didn't know what substances were added to it when smelting steel, but the things created were indeed not so easy to break, and this experiment did not kill people. It was also longer than the 26-pounder gun in terms of range.

This was indeed good news for Dorgon, who had been able to achieve more brilliant results on the battlefield, but it didn't take long for him to hear from the spies. This thing is far worse than the Australians, and the old Australians can hit far, much farther than this.

At that time, the faces of the craftsmen turned black when they heard this. Seriously, they are also desperate to get this thing out, but it is not so easy to do, and now it is actually said that Australians are playing farther, this Australia has always specialized in this area of talent, and people teach this in schools, you can compare with others.

But fortunately, this Dorgon also knows where the gap between the two sides is, if you want to completely compare with the Australians, it is impossible, this imitation artillery is not as good as the performance of others, now it is good to have this, at least when the Australians are out of stock, there is no need to be afraid, you can boldly enter with this thing.

Perhaps it was because he felt that the relationship between Liangguang and the Australians was different, so Dolgon had already planned to make his own artillery.

Sure enough, as he expected, the Australians really declared war on the Qing Dynasty and formed an alliance with Liangguang, which made Dolgon very difficult to see why they couldn't agree to their terms.

In short, no matter what, the unification of the south must be done, and it must be done, Dolgon no matter how the Australians blockade, anyway, he has a large number of arms stocks, and he also let the firearms workshops outside the customs start, as long as this start, it is definitely certain to win.

The cannon began to be mass-produced and built under Dorgon's orders, and he was ready to take the Australians by surprise, the Australians must have thought that he was using imported artillery, and never thought that he would build it himself, but this time Dolgon was obviously wrong, and Australia knew their plans well.

So when his cannons were being transported to the southern battlefield in batches, Feng Zihai's guerrillas were also in action, using the power in their hands to intercept these weapons.

Although these things are not good, if the guerrillas can obtain these weapons, they will definitely have an unexpected effect when attacking some large county towns.

Because artillery was difficult to transport to the rear of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, most of the guerrillas used their own earthen weapons, but with the establishment of the Dabie Mountain base area and Australia's participation in the war, a small arsenal will be built here to make grenades and artillery bombs.

The guerrillas, who did not have large heavy weapons to attack the city, in many cases had to choose to act at night, and if they had artillery, they could do so during the day.

Therefore, this group of cannons going south, the guerrillas everywhere are looking forward to it, as long as they get their hands on it, the command behind the enemy will help them make shells, and with shells they can make more contributions.

This time against the Manchu weapons, Dolgon did not know that his imitation cannon had been successfully targeted, and there were more than one target.

Lao Feng approved the actions of the guerrilla detachments in various places in the name of the headquarters behind the enemy, and encouraged them to cooperate to rob the weapons, after all, there are as many as fifty cannons in the south, so many cannons will definitely not take one route to the south, and it is impossible for the strength of each line to be so weak, if they cooperate, they can strengthen their own strength.
