Sheng Jing was looking at him from afar, Fan Wencheng hesitated again, could Dolgon listen to him?

Sure enough, in the face of Fan Wencheng's persuasion, the emperor's uncle, the regent Dolgon, was very angry, pointed at Fan Wencheng's nose and scolded: "Lord asked you to go to North Korea to solve the problem, not the other way around!" ”

Dolgon's early years of standing were already vigorous, and after his status became more and more respectful, he no longer restrained his temperament, so his majesty became more and more unscrupulous.

Fan Wencheng secretly sighed, the regent has changed, thinking about the time when Huang Taiji was still alive, he never scolded people at every turn. But he still forced his spirit: "Regent, it's not the minions who increase the prestige of others, the Ming army of the Korean country is not what it used to be, this is what the minions have seen with their own eyes!" Under the volley of muskets and cannons, even the mountain can be flattened, not to mention the flesh and blood of my Eight Banners warriors! ”

Thinking of the military drill he saw on the banks of the Han River, Fan Wencheng still palpitated, which strengthened his idea of preventing the regent from using troops against the Ming Dynasty.

"Flatten the mountain?" Dolgon sneered repeatedly, "Are you a three-year-old child when you are the king?" Even if the Hongyi cannon hits until it is blown up and bored, it may not be able to! Fan Wencheng, weren't you bought by the Ming Dynasty? Speaking of this, his face turned gloomy, "I heard that you have been delayed for several days in the Korean National Peace Road?" ”

Fan Wencheng was shocked, and said in his heart that he couldn't hide anything from the regent, and he had to tell the truth about it, otherwise who knows how much the regent knows, and the experience of being captured in Ping'an Dao may not be able to hide it. So I can only concisely tell the experience of Ping'an Dao, avoiding the important and light.

From entering the Ping'an Road and encountering the ambush, to the interview with Yao Qisheng, the drill of the Ming army was especially described, and its combat ability was by no means comparable to that of the Ming army in Shanhaiguan.

Listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Dolgon's heart was shocked, and he suddenly thought of the Ming army in the Great War in Liaoxi. But even if the Eight Banners Army suffered a loss in the hands of the Ming army, it was because there was chaos within the Qing Dynasty and it was taken advantage of.

Dolgon couldn't think of a reason for the defeat of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

"Regent, the servant suggested that my Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty also follow the example of the Ming Army and set up a firearms battalion to equip men and horses with artillery and muskets......"

On the side of the Han River, Fan Wencheng was indeed greatly stimulated, the artillery and muskets of the Ming army left a deep impression on him, this kind of militaristic weapon, I didn't know it before, now that I know, then we must urge the regent to also implement it in the Eight Banners Army.

"Good minion, why are you making noise in the ears of Brother Fourteen? I heard that you went to Ping'an Road, North Korea, come here, and tell me about the situation of those savages in the mountains. ”

Duoduo, the prince of Heshuoyu, walked in with his robe shaking, and he was more interested in seeing this Han talent than Dolgon.

"Huh!" Fan Wencheng responded neatly, then moved a few steps, came to Duoduo, and called a thousand, "The slave has seen Prince Yu!" ”

"Excuse me, excuse me! I heard that the army is about to become a heavenly soldier in your mouth, and I have heard a lot of good things about you in your ears these days! ”

Since the change in Shengjing, Duoduo has been seriously ill, and after recovering, it is like a different person, and his temperament is no longer as violent as before. Some people even discussed in private that the regent and the king of Yu had changed their personalities.

"Every word of the slave is seen with his own eyes, if there is a lie, the sky will be thundered!"

"Good minion, the master is not here to listen to your gambling curse and swear, you just said, what kind of powerful method is the Ming army!"

"Yes." Fan Wencheng carefully recounted what he saw by the Han River, and at the end he emphasized that the muskets of the Ming army were very different from those captured by the Qing Dynasty in the past, with extremely long range and extremely high accuracy. Duoduo shook his head and waved his hand.

"Good minion, you say, isn't this alarmist or what? The muskets of the Ming army were not less captured by my Eight Banner warriors, and it would be good to be able to hit one out of ten shots within ten steps of gunpowder and projectiles, and it would be a hundred steps away? If this thing is filled with too much gunpowder, it will blow up and bor, and it will hurt itself at every turn, so don't bully the master for not using firearms. ”

Duoduo used to be disdainful of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, and only believed in the Eight Banners Iron Riding Saber Bow and Arrow of the Qing Dynasty, and later suffered a loss in Liaoxi, so he carefully studied the firearms, and found that there were too many disadvantages of firearms, the accuracy was extremely poor, the range was limited, and the loading was laborious, and it was not a little worse than the bows and arrows of the Manchurian warriors, and the idea of vigorously promoting firearms in the army was also faint.

Today, Fan Wencheng mentioned firearms again, and Duoduo naturally dismissed it.

"Don't fight! What do you think, Duoduo? ”

"Fourteenth brother, Duoduo is here today to report this matter!" Duoduo has always spoken straight in front of Dolgon, "Brother Fourteen has never thought about it, let's cut down now, in case the road is not quiet, the Korean country is in trouble, we are ready to fly and it is difficult to ride a tiger, what should we do?" ”

In fact, since the news of the attack on the Min clan and the chaos in Korea reached Shengjing, Dolgon had already had a premonition that this autumn's war against Ming might come to naught, and now even his half-brother, who had always supported him, was not optimistic about this autumn war, so he could only think about it carefully.

"Sun Chengzong has just died, and the Ming army in Shanhaiguan is like a wolf dog without bones, if you take this opportunity to break south...... I heard that Yang Sichang was victorious in Henan, so we had to pull that Li Zicheng and let Chongzhen of Beijing City transfer him out of Henan and come to Beizhili. ”

Dolgon's idea was also a consistent strategy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen suppressed thieves in the country, and every time he was about to finish a battle, the Eight Banners Army would knock on the south in time, echoing it from afar.

"Has Brother Fourteen ever thought about how to deal with it if there is no progress in this autumn?"

Now, although the Eight Banners of Manchuria are superficially subservient to their brothers, if the war is unfavorable, some people will immediately jump out against them, and then the stars and fires will become a prairie fire.

Dolgon calmed down and re-examined the words that Fan Wencheng had been urging him to speak.

"Alas! What you mean, I see, this autumn is not clear! ”

"The regent is decided!"

Fan Wencheng quickly knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.

Dolgon actually got up and helped him up with his own hands, "Get up quickly, this king is in a bad mood and has a bad attitude, you should take care of it!" ”

Fan Wencheng's eyes immediately turned red, and he felt that even if he was scolded a thousand times, he had ten thousand grievances, but he couldn't match the regent's words.

"The slave suggested that the army should be raised immediately to crusade against the Min clan of the Korean state, and find the descendants of the Lee clan to re-establish themselves as the lords of the country."

Duoduo also agreed with Fan Wencheng's opinion, and took the initiative to ask Ying, wanting to lead troops into the court.

Dolgon shook his head, if the plan is followed, then it must be Dordor as the commander, and as for the invasion of Korea, only one general can be sent to it.

"Duoduo, you still have a good body in Shengjing, it will be cold in autumn, you must pay more attention."

In previous years, every time there was a change in the sky, the weak people would fall ill from time to time, and since the Shengjing Change, there was a serious illness, and Duoduo's body was sometimes good and bad. He was both Dorgon's brother and Dorgon's inseparable humerus, and he couldn't watch Dordo slip up in public, or private.

"Is Fourteen Brother Dang Duo papier-mâché? If Duoduo hadn't gone to Korea, who would have dealt with the Ming army's firearms battalion? Is it difficult to use those who have other intentions? ”

"Firearms battalion?" Dolgon disagreed, "If you face the enemy head-on, how can the Ming army's firearms be the opponent of the bows, arrows and sabers in the hands of my Eight Banners warriors?" ”

Early the next morning, the emperor's uncle, the regent, issued an edict that Sahaxuan, the son of the prince of Jinli Daishan, was the general of the expedition to the east, leading 50,000 troops to conquer the Min clan of the Korean state.

As a minister who knew the situation in North Korea, Pham Van Cheng was sent to join the Sakha army.

Sakha had repeatedly fought with the Ming army at Shanhaiguan, and had many contacts with the Three Guards who were good at using firearms in the Ming army. Dolgon's search for him to be the commander of the Eastern Crusade was also painstaking. First, Sakha and his son were rare people in the court who had both wisdom and courage, and second, Sakha was humble and low-key, and he had always had a harmonious relationship with the Dorgon brothers.

"Niu Lu Zhangjing Ji Bilong, I have seen Mr. Fan."

Fan Wencheng had always served as a scholar of the Inner Secret Academy, and the magnates in the Eight Banners had never been dismissive of such civil officials, so they all called him Mr. Fan along with Dolgon.

"Very good! This time, His Royal Highness King Yu personally ordered you to go out with the army, don't let down his high expectations. ”

"The subordinates will not disappoint His Royal Highness King Yu and Mr."

Kupilon is the sixteenth brother of Turge, his father is the head of the five ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty, and his mother is the fourth princess of Heshuo of Taizu, and she is also a well-known magnat. However, his brother Turg disappeared in the Datong area during his western expedition to Mongolia, and has not been heard from since.

Turg has always valued the Dolgon and Azig brothers, and now he naturally loves his sixteenth brother. Moreover, Scopilon's performance in previous wars is also remarkable, and it is indeed a talent that can be created.

Sakha led his army to the Yalu River in two routes, one to capture North Pyongan Province and the other South Pyongan Province of North Korea.

At first, Fan Wencheng was still worried, for fear that the Ming army of the Korean State would rely on the Yalu River to block the attack, but as a result, the two armies of Sakha Ling actually entered a no-man's land, and successively attacked the city in the north and south of Ping'an, and approached the hinterland of Ping'an Road.

Although the local people's army in North Korea formed several groups to resist, as soon as they made contact, they were scattered and fled by the Sakha army.

For a time, rumors were rampant in the army, saying that Fan Wencheng was alarmist and deliberately exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Korea in order to cover up the guilt of the defeated soldiers and the capture. Now that Sakha has led the army, both the North Korean army and the Ming army have long since fled without a trace.

"Mr. Fan, rumors are flying all over the barracks, you, why are you still sitting so peacefully?"

He didn't believe the rumors in the army, and he hoped that Fan Wencheng would come forward to clarify.

Fan Wencheng sighed: "The facts will prove my words!" ”
