September 21

The rolling wheel of history has not changed too much because of the arrival of Australians, and Huang Taiji, who laid the foundation for the Houjin to enter the Dingding Central Plains, finally died on this day. Left the stage where he ruled for 17 years.

Huang Taiji, who was already a little unwell the year before last, relied on the old ginseng of Changbai Mountain to live for two more years, these two years were simply too short for him, his ideal heir to the throne has not yet been decided, and the power of the three Dolgon brothers is getting bigger and bigger.

He could almost imagine what his heirs would look like if he died. Although the eldest son, Haoge, is the most successful candidate to inherit the throne, Haoge is brave and unscrupulous, and is not the best candidate to inherit the throne.

Because there is no will, so many clans and royal families have launched a battle for the throne, according to the rules of the elder not the young, Haoge inherits the unification is the most reasonable, but the key is that Huang Taiji did not make a will.

This flaw can be said to have left enough for the people vying for the throne, at that time the military merit and power were greater than Hauge, and Dolgon, coupled with the recent victory over Shanhaiguan to bring silver and materials, so that Dolgon once again became one of the popular candidates.

The two sides launched a series of battles for this, but in the end, the dramatic thing was that Shunzhi inherited the throne, and at that time, in order to calm the internal disputes as soon as possible, Shunzhi finally succeeded to the throne, but Dolgon's power and identity changed.

He became the first regent in the history of the Later Jin, and even Shunzhi called him the royal father, which shows that his status is high, and Shunzhi is just a chess piece in his hand.

The biggest change in the history of the Later Jin Dynasty was that Dolgon succeeded in gaining power and seized the voice of the Later Jin court, so he could make more decisions for this.

Having tried the sweetness of artillery, Dorgon has already confirmed the direction of future development. Artillery will be the most important weapon indispensable in the offensive of the Later Jin army.

Scofa sent someone back to inform him that the Australians had more powerful artillery, but the other party said that it should not be sold, and along with the news, there was also a simple ink painting of the painting, from this simple painting, it can be seen that the barrel of this cannon is very long. It can even be said that you can see its power by looking at its appearance.

This picture has touched Dolgon's heart deeply, just like a beautiful girl who has touched a single boy.

He wants to build this cannon, this is what Dolgon thought in his heart, the Australians can not sell the cannon, but they can imitate it themselves, the Australians' 26-pounder cannon will not be successful, there is no difficulty, as long as there are enough craftsmen. It's all about being done.

This was Dolgon's idea, and if the craftsmen saw this picture, they would think it was crazy, the difficulty factor was too great, the longer the barrel, the greater the force to bear, and the recoil was certainly not small, and the reason why the 26-pounder cannon could be imitated was entirely because of its short barrel. So it's relatively easy.

Now this shore defense cannon is not so simple, that is, on the day of Huang Taiji's death. Before the funeral was over, Dorgon ordered the workshop to build artillery.

The Han craftsmen who saw the drawings sent were dumbfounded, how could this thing be made, one by one, it shook like a rattle, indicating that it could not be made.

Dolgon was angry when he heard this, saying that it was made in Australia. If someone else can make you, you can't.

This question makes people speechless, although Australians can make it, but not all the craftsmen in the world can make it.

In Dorgon's opinion, there was nothing difficult to make these things, it was just a copy, just a drawing. But how did he know that there was a lot of knowledge here, not to mention the material problems, as well as the adjustment of the range, which could only be figured out after a period of accurate exploration.

Instead of taking a picture, you can get it all, and Dolgon doesn't talk much to these people, so he directly gives a death order, which must be made, and if he can't get it, he will all be buried by the Great Khan.

Simple and crude threats are still effective for these people, not to shirk, not to say that they can't make it, just to give it a try, which is indeed a difficult thing for them.

The major changes that occurred in the Houjin region were all under Feng Zihai's control, because of the death of Huang Taiji, the Houjin army stopped fighting abroad, perhaps for the reason of competing for the throne, so the troops everywhere were deliberately retracted.

The two white flags in Dolgon's hands forcibly transferred a few cattle that were originally on the battlefield back to Shenyang City, which fully demonstrated Dolgon's ambition, and he was anxious to obtain the throne.

However, Feng Zihai, as a traverser, clearly knew that the final winner of this battle was the woman in the harem, and it can be said that she was also a pivotal figure in the history of Houjin, and such a large group of men were played with by her in the palm of their bones.

If you want to say that Dolgon is sad enough, it can be said that most of the country in Houjin was beaten down by this person, but in the end, he ended up with a whip corpse.

Now this wise prince has seen the usefulness of artillery, and it can be said that he has completely fallen into the artillery plan designed by the Australians, which will directly affect the combat effectiveness of Houjin in the future.

So at this time, Feng Zihai had already prepared the message, the phrase of the message was very simple, the turtle had probe, and the five words said everything, indicating that the cannon plan had been very successful.

I believe that it won't be long before Shi Kefa should come back, and the failure of this unsuccessful ambassador to buy a cannon is the ultimate root cause that directly led to Houjin's own development of artillery.

However, for the 26-pounder guns sold by the Australians so cheap, Dolgon was not stingy with the intention of buying and buying, chopping hands, and ordered 500 guns in one go, and the reason why he got so many was because he knew that the things he made could not be compared with those in Australia at all, and could even be said to be not at the same level.

The power of the Australians' artillery is not comparable to that of the craftsmen under their own hands, and ordering 500 guns at one time is also a considerable order for Australia, and the cannonballs are also purchased 3,000 pieces, and the business of hundreds of thousands of taels is finalized.

I don't know if Houjin will use these artillery guns in the buckle pass, or against the Mongols, I always know where to use them is not a good thing for anyone.

But for Australia, this is the first step for Houjin to get caught up in the cannon plan, and this step will be easier to implement for the later plan. (To be continued.) )
