Taking stock of this entry into Kou Daming, Houjin Guo really lost a lot of money.

The loss inside and outside the Eight Banners Pass is about more than 60 Niu Lu, with a total of more than 20,000 people, these are all real slaves, such as fake Jurchens! The number of Jurchen soldiers capable of fighting in the whole country is only about 100,000, and it will take many years to recover after losing so much at once.

As for the losses of the Han Army Banner and the Mengba Banner, it is even greater, but the Han Army Banner has always been a third-class citizen, and Huang Taiji does not feel distressed about how many Huang Taiji died--Past experience has proved that there are no three-legged toads, and the two-legged Han Army Banner is not how many or how many?

The loss of troops is only one of them, and what is even more fatal is that Liaozhong and Liaonan were all captured by the Tuanshan Army, and at the moment the forefront of the battle between the two sides is actually the area around Liaoyang City - this is equivalent to the territory of the forces of the two sides in the first year of the Apocalypse! It took more than ten years for the Later Jin State to capture the vast land in central and southern Liaoning, and it only took a few months for the Tuanshan army to let them go......

In this world, there are people who do the business of killing heads, because the profits of the business of killing heads are always amazing, but no one does the business at a loss -- this is a truth that everyone in the market knows. Huang Taiji naturally knew it, so he fell ill as soon as he returned to Shenyang.

All this has nothing to do with the Mongolian two Tatars, who returned to the vast Mongolian steppe to continue grazing, fantasizing about the next time they enter the customs and plunder. Zu Dashou's prestige far exceeds that of Li Yongfang, Kong Youde and others, which is equivalent to a "catfish", which has produced a "catfish effect" in the Han army flag, so the Han army flag has now become the main force guarding Liaoyang and Shenyang. The so-called wind knows the strength of the grass. The national rebellion showed "loyalty" to the ministers, under the aggressive military pressure of the Tuanshan army. If you can defend Liaoyang, it will be a great achievement.

Huang Taiji learned that the Han military banner was so loyal, and they all fought bravely. The condition finally improved. He appointed Zu Dashou as the chief and Kong Youde as the deputy, and the two were responsible for the defense of Liaoyang. However, Huang Taiji asked Prince Zheng Jierharang to defend the city with 20,000 Manchu Eight Banners. It's called collaboration, but it's actually surveillance, which can be seen at a glance by those who understand.

Zu Dashou, Kong Youde, and Ji'er Harang are all talented, and they are far much stronger than the previous ones such as Jiala Zhangjing and Mele Zhangjing, so Liaoyang City, which has a higher city wall, is very safe for the time being.

After the day was dispersed, he was cured of a serious illness. The depressed Huang Taiji summoned Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou to the flower hall in the back garden of the Ouchi to watch the flowers, called "Giving Wine and Appreciating Chrysanthemums".

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou are open-minded, the current situation is bad, and the Great Khan is not in the mood to "appreciate chrysanthemums", and most of them still have to discuss state affairs.

Sure enough, after saying a few unnutritious words in the flower hall in the back garden, and talking about a few chrysanthemum poems, the Great Khan Huang Taiji couldn't wait to pull the topic to the "chrysanthemum" issue of the Later Jin State - isn't it, Liaoyang City used to be the rear of the Jin Kingdom. The "chrysanthemum" is serious, but unfortunately it has been exposed now......

Huang Taiji said to Hong Chengchou: "Mr. Hong, you know a lot about the details of the Tuanshan army - I heard that Hong Aiqing was Zhang Li's boss before, and he once went to Tuanshan Fort to parade the army!" Hong Aiqing said it. Why is that mountain army so good at fighting? ”

Hong Chengchou didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly called a thousand children, and responded numbly: "Khan and relieved." The slave will know everything, and there is no end to what he says! ”

Fan Wencheng on the side suddenly felt very sour in his heart - this Hong Chengchou Nyima was still a member of the Ming Kingdom last month, and he was a very good minister. Now it's quite natural to call a "minion" in one mouthful, alas. This scholar is really different from Li Yongfang and Kong Youde's vulgar martial artists!

Fan Wencheng is good at internal affairs, diplomacy, and winning over generals, or he is good at all conspiracies and tricks, but for military affairs, he is only a little stronger than Huang Taiji, who loves to read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and is too far behind Hong Chengchou, who "knows military affairs". So when it came to military issues, Fan Wencheng had no choice but to shut up.

Huang Taiji didn't notice Fan Wencheng's expression, he was really anxious, because the Houjin Kingdom had not suffered a defeat for many years, especially not "lost ground", and the sudden rise of the Tuanshan Army made it difficult for him to sleep. Huang Taiji asked Hong Chengchou: "Hong Aiqing thinks that why does the Tuanshan Army win?" ”

Before Hong Chengchou entered the palace, he had already made a good case, and he also knew his use value, so he said confidently: "That tension seems to have a Western background, and what the Tuanshan army relies on is nothing more than sharp firearms!" ”

Originally, in Huang Taiji's subconscious, there was even some hope that Hong Chengchou would say that the Tuan Shan Army had eaten "strong pills", and all of them had King Kong indestructible bodies, and then they could be broken with dog blood.

As soon as Hong Chengchou's words landed, Huang Taiji couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he was helpless, obviously the big advantage of the sharp firearms of Tuanshan can be seen by fools.

Hong Chengchou took in Huang Taiji's disappointed look, but he was not annoyed at all, but smiled, as if he was holding a pearl of wisdom.

Huang Taiji is also a human spirit, he saw Hong Chengchou like this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and asked in a trembling voice: "Hong ...... Hong Aiqing, do you have a way to deal with the Tuanshan army? ”

Fan Wencheng also stretched his neck to look at Hong Chengchou, he was also curious, could it be that Hong Chengchou really had a way? Otherwise, why put on such an expression?

Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Does the Great Khan know where the sharp firearms of the Tuanshan Army come from?" ”

"Huh? - Huang Taiji exclaimed, but did not react for a while. He hadn't really thought about this question before, and soon asked eagerly, "Where did it come from?" ”

Hong Chengchou faintly popped out two words in his mouth: "Western." ”

In fact, the Hongyi cannons and Fulong machine guns of the Ming Dynasty were all from the West. Let's talk about the birds, which is also something that the Japanese have improved on the West. And the arquebus is more bullish, called Lumi, which is also from the West. Rumi is the ancient name for Turkey, which means that Rumi can be translated as Turkish musket.

The secrecy work of the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal has always been very good, and outsiders only think that the Tuanshan Army is copying Western firearms, but they do not know that they are developing them, so Hong Chengchou has this to say.

"I bought it from Westerners, but my Dajin Kingdom suffers from no one to match!" Huang Taiji's brows furrowed deeply, and his face was dejected.

At least, at the time of the founding of the "Great Qing Dynasty", Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, who was boasted by later generations as "the first person since Taizong of the Tang Dynasty", still admired Western firearms very much, rather than despised them.

Therefore, "I Daqing" is living more and more back, and the ancestor Huang Taiji knows that Western firearms are sharp and yearns for them. But his grandson's grandson, the old man "Qian Pu", made a lot of nonsense: "The Celestial Empire is rich in products and has everything, and it does not borrow foreign goods to pass through the ......"
