Dodor was shot, and less than half of them escaped back to the camp.

Duoduo is not a person who is in the same faction as himself, but he is his younger brother anyway, and Huang Taiji naturally cannot tolerate the fact that his younger brother was killed by the Ming army. As for the part that eventually escaped back with Duoduo and the wolf Bèi, it was naturally relieved of the identity of the Eight Banners and demoted to the lowest level of aha (i.e., minions).

"Who killed Dodor?" Huang Taiji asked through gritted teeth, and at the same time, there was also Dolgon and Azig, who were fellow mothers of Dordor with resentment.

"It's too far away to be able to see clearly, but I know that the commanding general is surnamed Sun!" The former Niulu Commander, who had been demoted to Aha, replied with a panicked face.

"Sun ...... Could it be Sun Chengzong? Huang Taiji quickly thought of him, or he was the only one in the army who dared to fight them in the field.

"It can only be him, I didn't expect the Ming army to send large-scale firearms to the battlefield. If this Aha is correct, the other side should be using the latest firearms. Dorgon chimed in.

"How many firecrackers have our craftsmen made?" Huang Taiji shouted.

"Back to your majesty, the materials and processes are restricted, and we only have three hundred firecrackers these days, and it is difficult to guarantee their quality." The presiding officer replied tremblingly.

"Craft, craft again! Didn't Kong Youde bring a group of craftsmen who could make red-coated cannons? Why, why can't the process be improved? Huang Taiji was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are still too few craftsmen in our country, and most of the materials are used to forge red-coated cannons, so the fire gun has not been able to take care of it. In addition, I started as a horse archer, and there are still many warriors who are skeptical of firearms such as firearms...... "The person in charge can only be frank and straightforward.

Huang Taiji also lost his temper when he heard this, and everyone knew that Hou Jin rode and started shooting, not only because Hou Jin had enough horses and first-class warriors who could fight well, but most importantly, the bow and arrow only needed wood, feathers and a small amount of steel. There are many wood and feathers in Liaodong, which can be squandered at will, but steel is a short board, not to mention, the key is that rusty arrows can still be used, as long as they can penetrate the enemy, sometimes rusty arrows are more lethal.

The fire gun is different, it requires a lot of steel, and the forging process of the steel pipe is also very strict. What is rare is that even if the steel pipe is good, it will be used continuously for a period of time, especially once it rusts, it is easy to explode, not to mention shooting the enemy, don't hurt yourself. Another point is that sulfur and saltpeter may not be able to be produced in Liaodong, and even if there is raw ore, there is no technology to refine gold.

Houjin doesn't have so much money, you can arm a large number of firearms, even if you know that firearms are very good, firecrackers can save the cost of training soldiers, but Houjin is short of money, you must know that 90% of the country's taxes are invested in the military, and like an island country, every attack of Houjin is a gamble on national fortune. Even if it is this southward raid, it is not only to solve the threat of Dalinghe City, the most important thing is to go south to loot, replenish the population and materials, and the most important thing is to forge the craftsmen of the firearms, otherwise the firearms of Houjin will never be able to be loaded.

But now the problem comes out, in order to be able to obtain greater income, siege warfare is necessary, and siege warfare was a shortcoming of Houjin in the past, and now it is finally because Kong Youde sent the key artillery casting technology, so it can have the ability to conquer the city and expand income. However, in this way, the final steel and craftsmen were invested in the casting of the artillery, and as a result, there were no materials and craftsmen for the casting of the gun.

As a result, the death of Dordor in battle? Thinking of this, Huang Taiji really couldn't accept it.

"Where are the current reinforcements of the Ming army?" Huang Taiji had no choice but to ask other questions.

"At present, the main force of the Ming army, that is, the firearms unit, has returned to Jinzhou and is stationed fifty miles away, and the ammunition and materials that come need to be replenished." There are scouts to report.

"Probe!" Hwang Tae-gil needs more precise information.

"Wow!" The scout quickly withdrew.

Scouts were also one of the keys to Duoduo's defeat before, and Duoduo did not disperse scouts in time at that time, directly leading the hasty battle with the Ming army. Well, in fact, this is not a short board at all, according to the previous battle between Houjin and Daming, regardless of whether they encountered Daming's scouts or not, they only need Houjin's army to continue to attack, unless the other party is Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the number is more than twice that of Houjin's army, otherwise they will definitely not dare to face it head-on. If it is the infantry on the side, it is even very likely that a large-scale rout will occur the moment the cavalry of Houjin kills.

Duoduo was also aware of this, so he would kill him as quickly as possible, but he didn't expect the opponent's firearms to be so sharp......

Da Ming, it's not the same before, the firearms have become stronger, and they already have the strength to fight with Houjin, which Huang Taiji doesn't want to see, but he has to see it. But if it weren't for that, I am afraid that Houjin would not be able to get the drawings of this firearm...... Whether it was a profit or a loss, Huang Taiji really can't say.

"Haven't the negotiations with the redemption side been settled yet?" Huang Taiji recruited another courtier.

"They haven't occupied Shaanxi yet, so there is no way to start border trade with us, and as for firearms, they still haven't let go, but according to the latest information from the negotiating side, the other side has loosened up, but now it seems that just our bargaining chips are not attractive enough." Fan Wencheng, who was in charge of the matter, replied.

"A bunch of hyenas who don't let go of their mouths! Kento, what do you think? Huang Taiji smiled bitterly.

"It would be in vain to have no blueprints for firearms and no raw materials and craftsmen, but we can exchange them for other supplies we need, especially tea, salt, iron ore, and of course, sulphur and saltpeter. The former can be used to befriend the Mongol tribes, and the latter is used to strengthen our military strength. It's a pity that salvation is in the same vein as the Ming Dynasty, but it will not bring us population and ......craftsmen," Fan Wencheng replied respectfully.

"It's not my race, can't you really have the same heart with me?" Huang Taiji sighed, "Prepare enough cattle, sheep and horses, as well as fur and wood, and of course the wild ginseng they list to need, since they need it, they will send it back, in exchange for what we need, just don't let me down in terms of price!" By the way, I heard they still need wool? ”

"Exactly, according to the latest negotiators, they also have wool in their recent list of deals. The price is quite cost-effective, at least for us and the Mongolian tribes, and the use can also be imagined, either textile clothes or textile carpets or something, maybe the finished product will be sold to us, or the surrounding Mongolian tribes. Fan Wencheng is not a fool, so he naturally knows Zhang Hongbin's trading intentions.

"Damn the Han people, don't you just rely on your own tricks...... " Dolgon said with a lot of fire.

"But this is what we lack, our Houjin has a good war that the Han people don't have, but our people are not good at using their brains." Huang Taiji sighed.

"So, can you find a way to get your hands on textile technology...... In this way, at least we can make clothes and sell them from wool......" Dolgon was still not reconciled.

"Come on, the Han people treat their technology as family heirlooms, and they look at it to death, how can it be so easy to get it?" Dai Shan said disdainfully.

"If you can't do it openly, you will come to the dark, and besides, isn't this salvation an alliance with us? If there is no sincerity at all, this is too much to say, right? Dolgon argued.

"So what kind of sincerity can we show? You know, at the moment we don't have a way to go directly to Shaanxi! Dai Shan shook his head.

"I said, second brother, which side are you helping?" Dorgon was depressed.

"The truth is that without a practical solution, the speculation here won't solve the problem." Dai Shan said.

"Enough...... The deal with the Salvation Army will continue, and the military operations of the Ming Dynasty will be further investigated. I want accurate subordinates of the Ming army, Duoduo's enmity can't be counted like this, the Ming Dynasty let us lose a prince, I want them to turn Liaodong into a dead land! Huang Taiji clenched his fists and said with his teeth clenched.

The basic strategy for Liaodong was thus decided.
