Chapter 505: Clash of Schemes

"Someone."

Zhou Lu shouted.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was in the outhouse, hurriedly walked in: "The minister is here." ”

Wang Chengen was not around, and Lu Xiangsheng temporarily gave Zhou Lu a hand.

"Help me write a decree and summon John Tang and all the cannon-related technicians to meet me."

Zhou Lu said that he had not forgotten the train of thought just now.

At present, we have entered the era of cannons, and no matter how strong the walls and fortresses are, there will be a day when they will be breached.

Of course, when Zhou Lu was planning to counterattack the Qing army and regain the lost territory, he had to use a large number of artillery, and the better the better.

In the system, there are drawings about the manufacture of modern howitzers and even rocket artillery, but the technical limitations of this era, raw materials, steel strength, parts manufacturing and other aspects are not mature, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight, only step by step.

However, it should be no problem to make a cannon that is more powerful than the Hongyi Cannon, but it will need the help of a team of cannon manufacturing technicians.

At present, the best cannon manufacturing technician in Daming is a foreigner.

John Soup!

A German, a Jesuit missionary in the Holy Roman Empire, and a senior scholar.

John Tang took a ship to Macao, which was occupied by the Portuguese, and in order to successfully preach and develop followers in China, he helped the Ming Dynasty to make Hongyi cannons.

The imperial court ordered John Tang to supervise the construction of Hongyi cannons, and dictated the principles and technologies related to cannon smelting, manufacturing, storage, transportation, performance, gunpowder preparation, and cannonball manufacturing.

It was compiled by the court officials into two volumes of fire attack and one volume of fire attack secrets.

This is the authoritative work of the Ming Dynasty to introduce Western artillery technology so far.

Therefore, Zhou Lu wants to summon these people and make something big.

Dusk passed, and night fell.

tonight

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Zhou Lu stood on the wall of Shanhaiguan and did not look out.

He can "see" everything without having to see with his eyes.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, like rumbling thunder, and the earth trembled slightly.

I have to say that the cavalry of the Qing army has experienced decades of wanton development, and the cavalry has become very strong.

They pay attention to the armed force, all the people are soldiers, the body has been sharpened in the white water of the Black Mountain since childhood, from the Ming Dynasty to learn a variety of tactics, artillery technology, there are Ming craftsmen with advanced technology to make the suit, and the alliance with Wara, access to the prairie high-quality war horses

In contrast, the Ming Dynasty, who was dragged by a group of stubborn and conservative ministers, has been eating his old books and fighting in the wild, and he is no longer the opponent of the Qing army.

And a few decades ago, in the wild, the Ming army often chased the Qing army to kill.

"Bang Bang, Bang Bang"

After the assembly was completed, the Qing army under the city sounded the agreed code.

Zhou Lu waved his hand.

"Bang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang"

On the city wall, a general tapped the code in response.

meantime

Towering mountain customs, the gate slowly opened.

The terrain of Shanhaiguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, dozens of cannons are set up on the city wall, condescending, with high pitch attack, the firing range is higher than that of the Qing army artillery, so it is difficult to overcome, if it is attacked, it must suffer heavy losses, the population of the Qing army is limited, and it does not want to bear too heavy losses.

And now, without a single soldier, he can easily take down the most difficult defense line of the Ming Dynasty, and it is basically the last line of defense.

At the same time, Wu Sangui's promise to surrender was also a great surprise.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry mastered by Wu Sangui was the most elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no one, and it was the only force in the Ming Dynasty that could fight against the Qing army's war cavalry.

Now it is all under the Qing army, the Qing army is like a tiger with wings, and it will be difficult to have an opponent in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that the city gate was opened, and the guards on the city wall waved their hands in a friendly manner, the faces of the Qing soldiers were overjoyed, passionate, and eager to try.

The regent Dorgon, full of joy, said to the generals beside him: "Once the Shanhaiguan Pass is broken, hegemony is just around the corner. ”

"I really didn't expect that Emperor Ming handed over the strongest army and the most important line of defense to Wu Sangui, trusting him so much, and Wu Sangui would really surrender." The Qing army general said with a smile.

Dolgon's face showed a deep disdain: "Under the Confucianism and Taoism, the Ming Dynasty has lost its bloodiness, and many people have been trained as dogs, seemingly loyal, but once the Ming Dynasty is not satisfied with them, and I Daqing only needs to lose a few more bones, they will regard us as the new masters." ”

"What the Lord Regent said was very incisive." Qing generals agreed.

"Shhhh Dolgon caught a glimpse of a Chinese official approaching on horseback.

Fan Wencheng!

Twenty years ago, he took the initiative to surrender to the Qing army, he was quite strategic, he could also put on armor and go into battle, and he killed many Ming troops, and was reused by the Qing emperor.

Fan Wencheng participated in the decision-making of all the strategies of the crusade against the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion against the Ming officials, the construction of the national system, etc.

This time he plotted against Wu Sangui, and Fan Wencheng was the first one.

Previously, Li Zicheng attacked the capital all the way, and it was also Fan Wencheng who wrote to the regent Dolgon, asking him to immediately send troops to attack Ming and seize the world.

Fan Wencheng's suggestion and the formulation of strategies prompted the Qing army to set off, all of which played a huge role in the Qing Dynasty's seizure of the Central Plains.

Fan Wencheng rode to Dolgon, immediately jumped off his horse, and bowed respectfully: "See the regent." ”

Dolgon looked at the generals beside him and smiled.

It's like saying, you see, how much like a dog minion.

"Get up, you have to enter the Shanhaiguan tonight, you have made great contributions." Dorgon complimented, though he looked down on it in his bones.

Fan Wencheng pretended to be frightened: "Xie Regent, Weichen doesn't dare to take credit, this is all due to the prestige of Lord Regent." ”

Out of bounds, he slapped Dolgon's ass.

Dolgon enjoyed Fan Wencheng's coming, and smiled: "Okay, follow me into the customs to see Wu Sangui." ”

Before the words fell, Dolgon pointed his horsewhip, and the Qing army approached Shanhaiguan.

"Huh!"

Fan Wencheng kowtowed again, and then climbed on the horse, piled up a flattering smile, and followed behind Dolgon, his eyes were full of pride, and his heart was very happy.

After the Qing army seized the Great Tomorrow, he was the founding father.

The sound of hooves was like thunder.

A column of light cavalry of the Qing army, about 2,000 people, moved neatly, changed into a long dragon-like formation, and took the lead in rushing to the gate of Shanhaiguan, driving straight into it without encountering any obstacles.

Entering the Shanhaiguan, they scattered and searched around.

The Ming army had no offensive movement and let the Qing army investigate.

Seeing that the advance team did not find anything unusual, Dolgon, Fan Wencheng and others were even more relieved, led the elite heavy cavalry, accelerated the speed of movement, and swaggered towards the city gate.

Zhou Lu tightened the Star Sword in his hand, and locked on to the regent Dorgon.

It is said that this person now controls the supreme power of the Qing army and has great influence, so killing him will have Jianmu Fruit.

If you want to complete the hidden mission of revitalizing Daming, you must also kill him.

Suddenly!

"Whew!"

Someone in the city unleashed an arrow.

then

Someone shouted: "It's a trap!" Wu Sangui is dead! It's a trap! Wu Sangui has been"

didn't shout a word, a scream, and the voice stopped abruptly.
