But that night, Wu Shigong recalled the conversation during the day. Suddenly, words such as "bonds", "land", and "futures" jumped into his mind, and Wu Shigong suddenly thought of a solution. He immediately jumped out of bed, and repeatedly calculated the feasibility of this method, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, so he jumped up excitedly. At this time, Wu Shigong couldn't wait to return to Runing as soon as possible, and he was already a little eager to try.

"Fourteenth brother, when the court was discussing just now, the second brother said something a little heavier. But I know your merits, and damage is inevitable, so don't take it to heart. Huang Taiji comforted Dolgon with a pleasant face.

Dolgon immediately stood up from his chair, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

When Dolgon's army returned to Shengjing, the Manchu Eight Banners first cheered at such a rich capture, and then were shocked by the casualties of the army entering the pass. And Shengjing's wind discussion gradually became unfavorable to Dolgon, especially the banner owners and Ezhen of the banners, Gushan, Jiala, and Niulu, and the big losses of the Eight Banners greatly reduced their troops. In the court meeting just now, the banner owners besieged Dolgon again, and wanted him to take responsibility for the losses of the Qing army. When he arrived at Zuihou, it was Huang Taiji who stopped the meaningless accusations, hastily ended the court discussion, and left Dolgon alone to appease him.

The Emperor gave Dolgon a back seat. "Others don't know, but I know it very well. If you don't fight, we won't be able to bring back so many benefits. But Fourteenth Brother, are you really not exaggerating the strength of that Ming army? Huang Taiji asked.

"The younger brother has nothing to say in front of the emperor." Dorgon hurriedly reassured.

This was the fourth time in the past few days that Huang Taiji had asked Dorgon the same question. After Dolgon was out of the customs, of course, he claimed in his report to Huang Taiji that this battle was a great victory for the Qing army. That reason is also quite sufficient, and the Qing army did not lose a single ounce in the capture of entering the customs. Moreover, in order to boost morale, the Manchus only announced the losses of their own bannermen, more than 700 casualties, and doubled the casualties of the Runing army.

On the casualties of the Qing army. The Manchus did not hide it. You must know that although the Manchu Qing army entered the customs this time exceeded 30,000, there were only 4,000 bannermen of the Eight Banners, and most of the casualties were his servant troops and Baoyi. However, in the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, of course, they knew the actual losses of the Qing army.

But with such a number of water, the Manchu high-level still felt incredible, they felt that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have such an army, so Huang Taiji has always been very concerned about the Ming army that created miracles.

"Do you know the commander of the Ming army? Where did that Ming army come from? Huang Taiji asked again.

"I only know that he is from Henan, and the rest of the ministers don't know." Dorgon replied. In fact, as soon as Dolgon came back, he inquired about Wu Shigong and his Runing army, and also knew some basic information about them. However, because Wu Shigong and Ru Ningjun have not been very conspicuous in the Ming court. Therefore, it has not been the focus of Manchu spies' reconnaissance, so the Manchus only have some basic information about Wu Shigong and Runingjun.

"DID YOU KNOW? The Ming general who is against you is less than thirty years old, and he is the concubine of a marquis of the Ming Kingdom, and he has joined his family. His reputation has always been unrenowned. But I asked people to check his past battle reports, do my brothers know what I have found? Huang Taiji asked with a smile. As for the grasp of intelligence, Huang Taiji must know a lot more than Dolgon.

"Brother I don't know!"

"That general is not simple! He didn't lose a single defeat since his debut. Nearly a decade. It's almost a hundred battles won. Even King Sanshun has suffered a big loss in his hands. ”

"Huh? But why haven't we heard of him before? Dolgon's face was immediately full of surprise.

"At that time, I also felt quite strange that Weishenme Naming did not make a name for himself? weishenme Ming Guo Dujun does not reuse that Ming general? Later, I searched carefully, and I found out the reason. Do you know why, brother? Seeing Dolgon's face full of questions, Huang Taiji immediately smiled and said the answer: "He is a Mengren!" ”

"Huh? No wonder! Listening to Huang Taiji's words, Dolgon's mood immediately improved a lot. After all, it was better to lose it to the Mongols than to the Han people, which made Dolgon's face look much better.

And at this time Dolgon. His mind also spun quickly: "Your Majesty, can you let the spies in the pass spread rumors and let the faint monarch of the Ming Kingdom kill that Ming general?" Can we also contact that general, as long as he votes for our Qingguo. We can give him glory and wealth. In a short period of time, Dolgon thought of two ways to deal with Wu Shigong.

Huang Taiji smiled and waved his hand, "Let's think about this matter in the long run!" But the Iron Armor and Firebolt you brought back this time are good. Even if the iron armor is forgotten, it is too troublesome to build and it costs a lot, and only a rich place like the Ming Kingdom can build so much. However, I have already let Tong Yangxing see that the fire gun, it is simple to make, and the power is great, and I have already let him imitate it in large quantities. There are still a lot of talents in Mingguo! The only pity is the kind of artillery that you are talking about that is easy to drive and fast to fire. It would be great if you could get one. ”

"Brother confessed!" Dorgon hurriedly confessed.

"It's none of your business." Huang Taiji hurriedly comforted, "You've done a good job." However, this time the losses of the flags were indeed greater. I have already ordered each banner to carry more coats and flags, and also asked Zilharang to go to the north to catch more savages (Jurchens) to strengthen the strength of our Eight Banners. With that newly created firecracker, coupled with our national athletes, we will never suffer a loss next time we encounter that Ming army. ”

When Dolgon returned to Liaodong, the Manchu high-level officials also analyzed the gains and losses of this battle, and they agreed that the only difference between the Qing army and the Runing army was firearms. And this time there is a replica of the Runing Armament, so they all believe that this will make the strength of the Qing army to a higher level.

"White pig! Come here! Niu Lu Ezhen beckoned to the white pig working in the field.

The white pig immediately threw down the hoe, trotted to Niu Lu Ezhen, knelt down and saluted: "The slave greets Master Ezhen." ”

After the white pig saluted, Niu Lu really pondered it and said, "Originally, this time the master wanted to raise the flag for you, a slave, but your grandmother didn't agree. I can't help it. But the master will find a way to count you into the dowry of the fourth daughter-in-law, and when the time comes, you will become a member of the master's family, and then you will find a way to give you this slave! ”

……

Until Niu Lu was really far away, the white pig still stayed in place and was at a loss. (To be continued......)
