An hour later, Hongyi, Fuquan and Aobai all boarded the emperor's point and general platform one after the other, and they were all served by others. Hongyi was naturally unscathed, but Baylor, who was less than a year and a half years old, was too short and could only be carried on the back of his own soldiers, and Fuquan was also treated like this; Ao Bai was hit by three or four shotgun stones, and fell off the horse, his nose was blue, his face was swollen, his legs and feet were sore, and he could be lifted up, but as the first Tubaru in Manchuria, Ao Bai still gritted his teeth and climbed the high steps with the support of his own soldiers.

All were surprisingly quiet. What happened just now was just as shocking, although it was not a real battle. The elite of the 1,000 Eight Banners, under the leadership of the first Tubaru Aobai, dealt with only 300 spearmen and two hairy children, and almost wiped out the entire army within an hour, and was defeated without any temper at all! This kind of shock is no less than the collapse of Mount Tai in front!

Ao Bai walked in front of the emperor's throne, struggled to retreat the two personal soldiers to the side, knelt on the stone slab with a puff, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the servants are incompetent, the whole army is annihilated, please punish the emperor!" Then he put his nose on the ground and never looked up again.

Hongyi next to him also made the same action, but without saying a word, he just knelt with him. At this moment, all the languages can't compare to the unexpected martial arts exercise just now!

No one spoke anymore, only the dragon flag flags around them, hunting and displaying in the cool breeze of the Mid-Autumn Festival, not making a crisp sound......

At this time, Hongyi turned his eyes slightly, and saw that a few lines of sweat beads were flowing down from Aobai's neck in strings, and if the black face was not wrapped in a big beard, it was estimated that it must be the color of sauce purple now, but I don't know if it was because of pain or shame.

After a long time, Hongyi saw Fulin's pair of bright yellow combat boots appear in front of him, and then a big hand held his arm and gently pulled himself up.

"Get up." Fu Lin said a little boredly.

"Xie Huang Ama!" Hongyi said happily. At this time, he understood very well the complicated feelings of these Eight Banner nobles who came from outside the Manchurian Pass. At that time, the thirteen remnants of Nu ~ Erhachi rose up to fight, and the Manchurian athletes rushed out of today's world with swords and swords, and they were beaten by the hot weapons and tactics of later generations for only a dozen years. But at the same time, Hongyi still has confidence in this ascendant ruling class, they are not the declining nobles after two hundred years, clinging to the foundation of their ancestors and not seeking progress, for a minority who has just fought for the world and settled in the Central Plains, learning is the most useful weapon! What's more, today's events are so laid out in front of them, without any obstacles, only by facing this embarrassing, frustrating, and heart-wrenching pain can they be inspired to face the difficulties!

"Your Majesty, the minions underestimated the skills of the two Belle Lords, and underestimated the second elder brother's clever calculations, and the minions were not unjustly lost! Please ask the emperor to decree the guilt, and the slave has no words! It was Ao Bai who broke the silence first.

"No, Huang Ama, it's not to blame Lord Ao. Erchen's tactics were borrowed from the establishment of Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing Sha Erhuda and his son, but he reluctantly did it after listening to the confession of Bekotov, the leader of the Rakshasa army. Although it is a small victory today, it is just a coincidence, the majesty of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty is still there, the tiger power of General Ao Bai is still there, and the invincibility of my Qing Dynasty military strength is still there! Hongyi knows too well that on this occasion, the face of the leader is very bad, so he must first take the initiative to find a good step for the leader and set up a ladder, and then put himself as low as possible, so that the leader will naturally affirm the advantages of all aspects, and arrange for everyone to learn from each other, learn from each other's strengths, and be happy. With more than ten years of experience in government work, I can still serve the crossing plan!

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the defeat of General Aobai is not due to the unbearable combat strength of the Eight Banners, nor is it due to the benefits of shotgun firearms, but the ingenuity of the method of using Baylor's firearms! If my Eight Banners soldiers can learn the magic of using this firearm in the housekeeping ability of archery and horse archery, and combine the two into one, it will be unparalleled in the world! The one who said this was none other than Wang Yuele of Anjun. Hongyi finally waited for the ideal answer in his heart, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: The reformers in the early Qing Dynasty were different!

"Your Majesty, the servants also thought that what King Anjun said was very true. The minions fought viciously with the Rakshasa 400 bandits under the city of Humar, and they were not subjected to this method of warfare, and those Rakshasa spearmen were also vulnerable in front of my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, but they barely supported more than three months by relying on the high ditch of the city. The minions thought that it was Bellor's subtle tactics, but it was better to be more vigorous! "This is Ming An Dali, it seems that Hongyi unknowingly cultivated an important general for the Qing Dynasty who has some experience in the use of firearms.

"Servants (ministers) seconded the proposal!" Finally, all the Manchu and Han ministers who were invited to watch the first scene of the "Mulan Martial Arts Exercise" had a new understanding of the use of firearms.

"Aobai, what do you think?" Fu Lin already had an idea in his heart, but he still asked the general who had been kneeling on the ground to defeat the army, after all, his attitude at this moment was the most representative.

"Back to the emperor, the slave lost convincingly." Ao Bai did not look up, but his words were convincing without the slightest flicker.

"Oh? Where is the service? ”

"Back to the emperor, the servants are served in three places. First, the firing process of the western shotgun was smooth, and the salvo interval was short, which was admired by the minions. Second, the trench does not refuse the war horse and hides the soldiers, the shape is like a soil escape, coming and going without a trace, and the slaves are respectful. Third, the shotspearmen lie in the scattered pits, which seem to be scattered, but in fact they are full of rules and regulations, and there is nothing missing in the place they are heading for, and the minions are convinced. In short, for the second elder brother's skillful use of Western bird guns this time, and for the arrangement of Rakshasa troops, the minions are sincerely convinced, and there is no other word! After Ao Bai finished speaking, he turned around half a circle on the ground, and bowed to Hongyi next to him.

Hongyi was also very impressed in his heart. After all, in just one hour of military exercise, as a temporary commander, Ao Bai actually summed up the advantages of Western flintlock pistols [1] and the layout characteristics of trenches and foxholes, which can really be described as a good general!

Not to mention the trenches and foxholes that would have appeared hundreds of years later, it is not easy to see the advantages of this flintlock pistol at a glance. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, most of China's so-called muskets were still within the scope of arquebus understanding. The structural characteristics of this arquebus are that there is a metal hook on the gun, one end of the hook is fixed on the gun, and can rotate around the axis, and the other end holds a burning arquebus, when the soldier fires, the metal hook is pushed into the fire door by hand, so that the fire rope ignites the black powder, and then the projectile contained in the chamber is fired. Because the fire rope is a hemp rope or a tightly twisted cloth strip, soaked in ** or other salt solutions and dried, it can burn slowly, and the burning rate is about 80 mm ~ 120 mm per hour, so that the soldier can hold the gun with one or both hands after pressing the metal hook into the fire door, and his eyes are always focused on the target. According to historical records, a well-trained shooter can fire 2 rounds every 3 minutes, and the range of the long-barreled gun is about 100 meters ~ 200 meters. In the first year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1521), the Ming army obtained Western arquebuses from two captured Portuguese ships in the Battle of Xicaowan in Xinhui, Guangdong. In 1548, when the Japanese invaders who had invaded the coastal Shuangyu Islands of our country were captured, Japanese arquebuses (iron cannons) were seized. The military bureau of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the imitation of the arquebus, and made the bird gun (the bird gun is the name of the new arquebus in the Ming Dynasty, because the muzzle size is like a bird's beak, so it is called the bird gun, also known as the bird's beak gun).

Around 1620, Marin Bourguiva of France invented the flintlock pistol, which used metal pieces and flint to strike each other to ignite the fire, and was widely used in European armies. A similar Chinese flintlock pistol was invented in 1635 at the end of the Ming Dynasty by Bi Maokang. Turn the string tightly before firing, and when you pull the trigger after aiming, the chord wheel rotates quickly to ignite the flint. However, after the Qing Dynasty produced the real thing, it was only used by the emperor for hunting, and was not used on the battlefield.

This time, under the pretense of the hands of the Rakshasa people, Ao Bai actually saw the difference between the pros and cons of the arquebus and the flintlock pistol! It seems that we have to test the true level of this Lord Aobai again...... Thinking of this, Hongyi opened his mouth and said:

"Xuan Ye didn't dare to receive such a false praise from Lord Aobai!" Hongyi hurriedly moved to the side, which was regarded as a flashing of Ao's bow, and then said: "Please also ask Lord Ao to teach me, if the thief soldiers on the other day have this tactic, what can our army do?" ”

"Lord Belle is too modest! However, if you want to say that in today's battle, the cavalry should not take the first place, so as not to be damaged in plain white, but first use the red-coated cannon to fire at the position of the spearmen, destroy the front of the battle, reject the horses, injure the sergeants in the ditch, and seize their sharpness, and then launch a general attack with all their might, and take the enemy on one side. When one of the trenches was captured, the soldiers bravely entered it and advanced with short swords and crossbows. The trench was not more than a foot wide, and the shotgun could not easily turn around, so it was naturally not as fierce as the swords and arrows of the Eight Banners. In this way, you can go down from all sides! Ao Bai really didn't give it for nothing, and soon gave his own set of solutions, which made Hongyi admire again.

"Huang Ama, what Lord Ao said, everything is reasonable, and the ministers are also convinced! If you fight again, your sons will lose! Eight Flags will win! Hongyi then put on a high posture. Fuquan knelt on the side, he had already raised his head and listened for a long time, although he was blind in one eye, his eyes were extremely bright, revealing great interest in the things of this battlefield.

"Well, you have a point! I can ride and shoot the world in the Qing Dynasty, but I can't rule the world by riding and shooting alone. Shinong, industry and commerce, soldiers, fields, and mulberry all have theorems, and they cannot blindly hold the old rules outside the customs to arrange the subjects of China. This is especially true of this battlefield battle! I thought that Mulan's martial arts performance today was wonderful! Is the military department still in the book Kada Hun in? Fu Lin was overjoyed and asked.

"The minions are here!"

"Erbu can quickly record today's martial arts in detail, sort out the law of Dorobelle Xuanye, and after I see it, it will be promulgated in the world with the "Great Qing Firearms Imperial Warfare Law"!"

"Minion Command!"

"Huang Ama, the sons have a play." Hongyi suddenly took a step forward and said loudly.

"Okay, my little Belle has something to do, let's talk about it!" After Fu Lin affirmed the bravery of the Eight Banners and the usability of firearms according to the steps of Hongyi's abdominal row, he was in a good mood.

"Erchen is grateful for Huang Amma's praise. However, Erchen still thinks that although the "Great Qing Firearms Imperial War Law" can be surveyed, it cannot be promulgated in the world! "Hongyi is straightforward.

"Why?" Fu Lin was stunned, could it be that this talented little Xuanye hurt his head just now, and he actually forgot that he, the emperor, was "a golden mouth open, and the horse is difficult to chase"? Couldn't I take it back?

"Huang Ama, just for two words - secrecy!" Hongyi is still persistent.

"Huang Ama, why are the Rakshasa people fully equipped with shotguns, but they are defeated by the men of Ming Andali and Shar Huda? Because they have not yet understood the essence of the use of firearms. But if our dynasty promulgates the "Great Qing Firearms Imperial War Law" to the world, the Rakshasas and those Western barbarians will definitely know. Among those people, they may not all be like Tang Lao Marfa and other Western priests, and finally I am clear! Hongyi glanced at Tang Ruowang, and said in a soft but heavy tone.

"At that time, with the advantage of Western firearms and the ability of our Qing Dynasty tactics, wouldn't it be a formidable opponent for the soldiers of the Eight Banners? "The Art of War: The Room" has a cloud: things are not in the middle. Based on this, Erchen suggested that from today onwards, all military-related policies need to be verified by the secret bureau before they are published in the world. After speaking, Hongyi consciously looked for Ming Andali.

"Your Majesty, the minion has been in charge of the military department, and Baylor Xuanye's words are indeed feasible!" Ming Andali now has a hundred admiration for this little prince, almost to the extent of obeying his words and obeying his orders.

"It's okay, the Ministry of War can take out a charter for the second elder brother to report!"

"Slaves obey!" Kadahun commands.

"Good! Ladies and gentlemen, today's martial arts performance can be said to have gained a lot! The benefits of Western firearms and the essence of the Eight Banners Cavalry, can you all take a closer look? From today onwards, we will set up a firearms battalion at the northern foot of Jingshan[2], specializing in the manufacture of Western bird guns and various gunpowders and projectiles. In addition, the Shenji battalion [4] can be set up in the Shangsan Banner [3] [Yellow Flag, Yellow Flag, and White Flag], all of which are equipped with Western bird guns, and those who are good at shooting can be selected to enter the service, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry can make arrangements quickly. Xuan Ye, would you like to contribute your Rakshasa Clothed Bekotov as a leader? Don't forget, although I have allowed you to enter the book of his yellow flag, haha...... "While making major deployments, Fu Lin intentionally or unintentionally pointed out this matter, just to tell Xuan Ye that your seemingly secret arrangements are actually under your Lao Tzu and my nose!"

Hongyi's heart was shocked, Fulin, Fulin, do you know that this firearms camp is the first initiative of my grandson Hongli and Emperor Qianlong! The Shenji Camp was only available in the Xianfeng years! You've robbed the drama of history...... Forget it, since history has changed, then be at ease!

"Erchen is willing! Xie Huang Ama fulfilled this slave! Hongyi willingly thanked the Holy Grace.

"Slaves (ministers, etc.) congratulate the emperor on the power of the heavens! I wish the Shenji Battalion an early formation and prestige! All the Manchu and Han ministers bowed down in unison.

"Get up, tomorrow we will perform the artillery siege of the city, tonight all Aiqing will go with me to have a good time!" Fu Lin raised his hand and left happily. Hongyi hurriedly picked up Ao Bai next to him, and while reaching out to pat the dust on his robe, he said with a smile: "Lord Ao, I started a little heavier, and today it was all up to you to deliberately release water to fulfill me!" ”

"Where does Lord Belle say, the slave is really going all out to perform martial arts, and he will lose convincingly. Lord Belle is talented, his tactics are natural, and his servants admire him, and there is no such thing as releasing water! Ao Bai hurriedly bowed down and replied, looking up at Hongyi's eyes, which were full of sincere admiration.

That night, in the temporary banquet tent set up in the Mulan martial arts arena, Fulin decreed that he would not be drunk tonight. After the ministers toasted the emperor one after another, they came over in groups to toast the two Beile Lords, especially Xuan Ye. As a result, Hongyi successively met several ministers such as the first-class public servant Bilong, the first-class Bersoni, and the first-class son Suke Saha, and the second-class public worship, even saluted three cups in a row, with a look of awe......

[1] The flintlock pistol, invented by Mahan, a Frenchman born in 1547 (mid-16th century) into a family of gunsmiths, locksmiths and watchmakers, was improved on the basis of the revolver musket, the clockwork steel wheel was removed, a piece of flint was clamped on the jaws of the hammer, and an anvil was provided on the side of the fire hole. The firing process is greatly simplified, the firing rate and shooting accuracy are improved, it is easy to use, and the cost is low, which facilitates mass production. In the middle of the 17th century, many European armies were generally equipped with flintlock pistols until 1848, which was more than 200 years old. In 1635, the Ming Dynasty firearms researcher Bi Maokang also made a flintlock pistol. Its construction and performance are not much different from the previous birds, mainly with an improved ignition device. The emergence of the self-generated fire gun has improved the arquebus ignition method used in China for more than 200 years to flint fire. This is a major innovation in the history of firearms in our country. Because the use of fire rope ignition, there are many disadvantages, in the case of stormy weather, the gunpowder in the fire door is either blown away by the wind or wet by the rain, so that it cannot be fired; Sometimes it is misplaced prematurely before it is aimed well. Bi Maokang recorded a percussive flintlock pistol, in which the tap of the buckle machine was pressed down, and it was angry due to the action of the spring rubbing against the flint. In this way, not only did they overcome the difficulties caused by wind and rain in shooting, but they also did not need to press the faucet with their hands, so that the aiming was more accurate and they could be fired at any time. The flintlock pistol is equipped with a flint automatic lighter device, which is not afraid of wind and rain and does not need to be ignited by the fire rope in advance, and the firing speed and accuracy are greatly improved. It is a significant change in the history of firearms in China.

[2] The Qing Dynasty firearms battalion was divided into two battalions, the inner and the outer battalion, which were full-time engaged in the manufacture of artillery shells, gunpowder and firearms needed for various battles. The outer firearms battalion was built in the 35th year of Qianlong (1770), with more than 1,700 barracks and official rooms. Outside the west gate of the barracks, there is a large teaching field, which is the place where the firearms battalion of the Eight Banners trains together. There are tall buildings such as the martial arts hall, the hugging building, the matching hall, the guard room, the platform, and the gatehouse. Facts have proved that in later history, we have seen that the establishment of the foreign firearms battalion played an important role in reunifying the country by the Qing Dynasty, leveling the Dzungar Dynasty, Dinghui Division, sweeping Jinchuan, descending Burma, Zhen'an Nan, and Pingwei Guanlong, consolidating the frontiers, and safeguarding the motherland's unity and stability.

[3] The upper three flags are inlaid with yellow, yellow, and white. Each flag is set up with three armies, namely the Yellow Man, the Yellow Meng, the Yellow Han, the Yellow Man, the Yellow Meng, the Yellow Han, the White Man, the White Meng, and the White Han. The Emperor may appoint a prince as a commander. In principle, they are all the emperor's pro-army, but in fact, only the three banners of the full and covered can be filled, and the three banners of the Han army are really short. Lang Wei was selected from the three banners of the Manchurian and Mengshang (three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) to be responsible for the palace guards. Among them, the excellent ones will serve the forbidden court on the day for driving away, and they will be called the imperial guards, and the slightly inferior ones will be the guards of the Qianqing Gate. The guards of the inner court must be selected from the Manchurian and Mongol armies of the Shangsanqi, and the Han army is not allowed to join. The "Shangsan Banner" implements the Lang Wei system, and the vital parts of the Forbidden City close to the emperor are all selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and are led by six ministers of the guard (two each with yellow flags, yellow flags, and white flags). It is divided into two classes: the inner and outer guards. The inner palace guards the Qianqing Gate, the Inner Right Gate, the Shenwu Gate, the Ningshou Gate and other inner palaces, and is mostly full of people. Outside the class guards the Taihe Gate and other foreign dynasties, and uses both Manchu and Mongolian people.

[4] Shenji Battalion, the name of the army. One of the three major battalions of the Ming Dynasty Janissary Guard, it was a special unit in the Ming Dynasty army that was in charge of firearms. In the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty followed the Ming system, and the Shenji Battalion often guarded the Forbidden City and the Three Seas, and the emperor also obeyed when he was on patrol. In the 11th year of Xianfeng (1861), the Qing government established the "Shenji Battalion", which was a Praetorian Guard created in the late Qing Dynasty under the oppression of internal and external troubles.
