A Chongzhen Type 22 rifled gun.

An ordinary soldier of the Guards who has just completed one year of enlistment.

It can kill more than ten Manchu Bayala and capture a Manchu prince.

This would have been unimaginable 30 years ago, or even 10 years ago.

But at this moment, he did happen to the Slippery Spring Dragon.

Haoge didn't know what the food Hua Chunlong gave him to eat, he didn't expect that the military food of the Ming army was so magical, and it didn't make people feel full if they didn't eat a lot, and they had to say that it was a good product for marching and fighting.

He didn't expect that the Ming army would be so powerful in all aspects, not to mention the advanced weapons, and the logistics supply was far beyond his own Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and even the ordinary Guards soldier who captured him knew his portrait.

He couldn't help but be surprised at how good this Ming army was at finding out the news, and he had to admit that his loss to the Ming army was indeed expected, which made him think of Zhou Zelai again.

Haoge hated Zhou Ze very much, because if it weren't for the trap designed by Zhou Ze, he would not have come to Sichuan at all and fell into the encirclement of the Ming army.

However, at this moment, Haoge suddenly realized that maybe Zhou Ze was the eyeliner of the Ming army, and it was the spy of the Ming army who broke into his own Qing Dynasty, he couldn't help but be proud of his wisdom, and couldn't help shouting:

"God, why didn't this king think of this, he Zhou Ze went south with Hong Chengchou back then, will my Qing fiasco have something to do with him!"

"Haha, Dolgon, aren't you always smart, you wouldn't have thought that Zhou Ze would be a spy, and Zilharang, it's you, it's you who hurt this king!"

Haug shouted as if he had gone mad.

Hua Chunlong really thought he was too noisy, so he had to entangle his mouth.

After a while, when the sky had completely darkened, a long line of torches appeared in the distance, and one of them shouted:

"That's the gunshots coming from there!"

Hua Chunlong saw that it was someone from his Ming army who came, and hurriedly whistled.

"It's our people", and soon four or five Ming troops appeared: "We are from the 3rd Cavalry Battalion of the 2nd Corps, which subordinate are you this brother?" ”

"Report non-commissioned officer, in the first class of the 4th Infantry Battalion of the 1st Guards Corps, Hua Chunlong, who has now captured the Manchu Qingsu Prince Haoge, please help."

The epaulette of the cavalryman who was talking in front of him was a non-commissioned officer's epaulettes, the so-called non-commissioned officer is a unique military rank symbol in the Guards, and it is a kind of official body mark for some senior soldiers who have mastered special skills or some soldiers with more senior qualifications, which are divided into three levels, and the status of the highest non-commissioned officer is no less than that of a middle-level officer.

And the cavalryman in front of him may be extremely skilled, or he may be an old cavalryman who fought against the Tartars back then, so Hua Chunlong will salute him to show his respect.

The Guards pay attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, so the non-commissioned officer also returned the salute: "Brother is so capable, he really caught this guy!" In that case, we will help you escort him to the headquarters of your regiment. ”

At noon the next day, Haoge was escorted to Weng Zhengchun, the headquarters of the First Corps of the Seventh Army of the Guards, and Weng Zhengchun escorted Haoge to Chengdu with a special unit, and then escorted to Nanjing by Jinyiwei after arriving in Chengdu.

When Hauge was escorted to Nanjing, it caused a great sensation.

Benefiting from the development of the media industry in the Ming Dynasty, Haoge and other Manchu magnates have long been treasured in today's Nanjing, and they all know that Haoge is a very respected prince of the Manchu Dynasty, almost as respected as Duoduo in that year, after all, they are all the sons of the emperor, and the Manchu Yellow Belt of the Eight Classics.

Except for Song Yingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who couldn't help complaining that the guards officers and soldiers who captured Prince Su Haoge beat Haoge into a blind and lame man, making him unable to let Haoge serve as a laborer, all the people in the Ming Dynasty were happy because of the capture of Haoge, the prince of Manchu Qingsu, even more than the original capture of Duoduo and others.

The reason for this is because with the issuance of the "Northern Expedition Coupons", the Ming financial market has long been linked to the Northern Expedition War, and the capture of the Manchu prince Haoge made all the Ming people's confidence in the victory of the Northern Expedition increase again, and the people continued to buy a large number of Northern Expedition coupons, making the value of the Northern Expedition coupons soar again, and the Ming financial market became more popular for a while.

The Ming Household Department also raised more and more funds through the issuance of a large number of Northern Expedition coupons, and Qu Shiyun, who had taken over the post of the Household Ministry's Shangshu, couldn't help but sigh that the bigger the war, the more money the Household Department had, and a random Northern Expedition coupon could be worth hundreds of silver dollars, but a Northern Expedition coupon was actually just a kind of fancy paper.

But because of the people's confidence in the prosperity of the country, the people trust his value.

Nowadays, the people of the Ming Dynasty no longer compare who has 10,000 yuan of silver dollars, but only compare who holds how many Northern Expedition coupons they have.

Even Ruan Dayue, who brought the secretary of the military department, liked to take the Northern Expedition coupons directly from the household department as military salaries, because as long as these Northern Expedition coupons were held in his hands for a few more days and he sold them, he could earn more silver dollars on top of the military salary and enter his pocket.

"These five hundred Northern Expedition coupons were sent to Xu Suitang, now she is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, and she is the righteous daughter of the queen's mother, in order to determine the king, it is worth spending more money, even if you can't form an alliance with her, at least you can't offend her."

Ruan Dayue even directly bribed with the Northern Expedition coupons, and there were more than one person like him who did this, after all, it was better than sending silver dollars directly, because it would pass through the Daming Central Bank and would be found by the people in Dongchang.

Because the price of the Northern Expedition ticket skyrocketed, more and more wealth was concentrated in the central court, so that the Ming Dynasty could concentrate more manpower, material and financial resources for the Northern Expedition, and the Northern Expedition was more smooth, and at this time Haoge did not know that his appearance made a great contribution to the victory of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, he only knew that the world left him with little time.

Hauge was sentenced to 4,000 knives, much more than the original Duoduo, naturally not because Hauge was more guilty than Duoduo, but because of the promotion of the Ming financial market, people feel that the more severely Haoge was sentenced, the greater the loss of the captured Haoge to the Manchus, the greater the value of the Ming Northern Expedition, and then it means that the securities in their hands will rise higher, which is a trick played by the new magnates of the Ming Dynasty.

And Hauge himself wanted to cry without tears, he didn't expect that he would end up in this situation.

The Northern Expedition was still going on, and not long after Li Yan and Zhou Ze met, Li Dingguo's Pingyu Army and part of the Annihilation Army in the southwest region, as well as Zhou Ze's Dangju Army and Gao Jie's Army, had already left Jianmen Pass as the vanguard, and the Seventh Army of the Guards Army had also arrived at Baoning Mansion in the north.

Li Yan, the governor of Sichuan, went north with the army, Liu Wenxiu, the governor of Sichuan, stayed in the rear, and Ma Shiying, the governor of Sichuan, returned to the court.

This was the latest army to start the Northern Expedition.

At this time, Liu Fangliang's division of the Third Army of the Guards Army had entered the Weihui Mansion in Henan.
