The rebels relied on firearms to defend well, but in the face of a powerful firepower offensive and the attack of the regular army, they could only be regarded as a rabble after all, so Yu Zhong quickly followed the troops to Lion Ball Ridge. At this time, the vanguard led by Yang Yuan had already pursued the defeated rebels closely. This is also the reason why Yu Zhongfei waited until dawn to launch it: the Qing army was not familiar with the geography behind the Lion Ball Ridge, and if it attacked when it was dark, it would definitely take a lot of trouble.

……

"Amazing, really amazing......"

In the camp of the rebels in Shiqiuling, Yu Zhong rubbed his hand on the part of the fire that was left behind by the rebels in the back camp and was not hit by artillery fire, and sighed again and again.

"My lord, what's wrong with this Huoyao?" Yinfu also looked at these fires, and he didn't know why.

"These fires are granular. Big brother, have you ever seen this kind of fire before? Yu Zhong asked.

"I didn't pay attention to this! Is there any difference between that? Yinchu shook his head and asked.

"Of course it's different. In the past, the fire yao we used in the Qing Dynasty was in powder form. In terms of power, it's much worse than this kind of fire! Yu Zhong poured out the fire yao in his hand, clapped his hands again, and then explained: "Huo yao is a mixture of three items: nitrate, sulfur and charcoal, and these three items can only produce more powerful fire yao under the best ratio. And after this optimal ratio of fire yao is made, it is granular. ”

"So it seems that this gang of traitors really has a lot of good things in their hands!" Yinchu's face was a little ugly.

"It's not just a good thing! Look at this ......" Yu Zhong stood up, walked to a simple wooden box with Yinchu, lifted the lid on it, pointed to the cannonballs inside, and said to him: "Big brother, do you know what this is?" ”

"Isn't this a cannonball?" Yinchu asked.

"Of course it's a cannonball, but it's a flowering shell!" Yu Zhong said solemnly.

"Blossom bombs? How could these traitors have this? …… My lord, how do you see that? Is it because of this bulge? Yinchu reached out and took out a cannonball from the box, looked at it carefully, and then looked up at Yu Zhong and asked.

"Not bad! You see this iron bullet, there is a protruding table body on the surface, and there is a small round hole in the middle of the table, in fact, this small hole is used to detonate the 'medicine twist'. ......" Yu Zhong sighed, "This is the craftsmanship of Qianming!" ”

"Qianming?"

"Can't think of it, right? Actually, we didn't think of it before. Yu Zhong pursed his lips, kept patting the box that let go of the flower bullets, and sighed: "At the beginning, the Fengtian Admiral Sabusu and Fei Lao were casting cannons in Fengtian, because they didn't know the process, so they took advantage of the gap between entering the Beijing court to go to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to find information. What they wanted to find was the record of Dai Zi, a famous firearms master in this dynasty, but they didn't expect that they would unexpectedly turn out a number of firearms manufacturing methods of the Ming Dynasty together. That's a lot of everything...... In terms of shells alone, flowering shells, blasting shells, grape shells, solid shells...... There is no shortage of any of them! Moreover, the power is not small. Most of the artillery we use today is based on these records, but even so, there are many techniques that we have not been able to do until now. ”

“…… Yes, Qianming's artillery is indeed powerful. Otherwise, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming returned to our Qing Dynasty with the art of making artillery, so that our Qing Dynasty has a sharp weapon to attack the city and pull out the village, how could Emperor Taizong favor them with the position of king? Yinchu said.

“…… Well. Yu Zhong was noncommittal, and nodded helplessly. In fact, even if Kong and Geng did not surrender, it was already a foregone conclusion that the Qing army would sweep the Central Plains. At that time, it was calculated that Li Zicheng's Dashun army fell very quickly, and he himself was arrogant and incompetent; Nanming is rotten; Zhang Xianzhong's gang of the Great Western Army can only be regarded as rogues who kill people and set fires, and after they wandered to Sichuan, they almost slaughtered Sichuan, a country of abundance. At that time, in China, the common people were the most helpless, because there was no "hero" who could save them, so they had to obey the strongest. And the Central Plains at that time there was no one who could compete with the Qing army, and, to tell the truth, Huang Taiji and Dolgon are indeed the most powerful figures in Chinese history, the Qing army under their leadership, and the Han landlord class at that time took the initiative to integrate, plus the Ming Dynasty has been chaotic for many years, and the people do need a relatively stable environment, so, even if they are executioners, it is only a matter of time before the world is unified.

……

"Hmm......" Qin Baoqi opened his eyes again, "What kind of place is this?" ”

No one answered.

He looked at it again, and judging by the cloth mans above his head, it looked like a tent, and he was lying on a bed, still covered with a quilt, and there was no one on the left or right......

He wanted to turn over, but as soon as he had this thought, Zhou's body suddenly became extremely painful, and he couldn't help but exhale in pain.

"Are you awake?" A little old man with a goatee walked in from outside the tent when he heard the pain and said to Qin Baoqi. And Qin Baoqi also saw that this old man was wearing the clothes of a Qing soldier.

"Who are you? Where is this? He asked aloud, but the pain was so severe that he couldn't even move slightly.

"This is the barracks, the old man is Langzhong with the army, and as for you, you are Qin Baoqi, the rebel leader of Taiwan, am I not wrong?" Goatee laughed.

"Hmph, what do you want?" Qin Baoqi said angrily.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to talk to you......" Before Goatee could answer Qin Baoqi's words, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Yu Zhong and Yinchu walked in from outside.

"Who are you?" Qin Baoqi squinted at Yu Zhong and the two, and once again wanted to struggle to get up, but he still didn't succeed.

"Your name is Qin Baoqi, isn't it? Don't waste your efforts. Just by looking at you like this, you know that you don't have much effort, what kind of effort do you make around? Not to mention that you are seriously injured now, even if you are intact, what can you do in the current situation? Yu Zhongchao Qin Baoqi asked, after speaking, he pulled a horse from the side and sat down, Yinchu also found one by himself, and the goatee could only stand beside him.

"Hmph, lackeys of the Manchu Tartars!" Qin Baoqi looked at Yu Zhong and the two of them, and snorted coldly.

"Traitor, you are looking for death!" Provoked by these words, Yin Zhen was immediately dumbfounded, and he was about to draw his knife when he stood up, but he was immediately held down by Yu Zhong's outstretched hand.

"Big brother, don't be bored!"

"Big brother? Hmph, it turned out that it was not the lackey of the Tartars, but the dog Tartars himself came! Kangxi's little tartar born to an old tartar, haha...... "Regardless of the severe pain around him, Qin Baoqi gritted his teeth and laughed.

"I don't want to care what you say, but I just want you to remember: Now there are more than 100 members of your Heaven and Earth Society who are captured by us outside, and there are more than 70 Taiwanese who have followed you to defend here, and their lives are only enough for you to scold 170 sentences." Holding down the angry Yinchu again, Yu Zhong said lightly.

"You ......" Qin Baoqi glared at Yu Zhong, his eyes split.

"Be careful, the fire hurts the liver!" Smiling in response to Qin Baoqi's angry gaze, Yu Zhong said tepidly. And seeing that Qin Baoqi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood by Yu Zhong's ease, Yinchu also smiled coldly and sat down again.

"I want to talk to you......" After Yinfu sat down again, Yu Zhong said to Qin Baoqi again.

"Hmph, you want me to surrender? Dream for yourselves! Qin Baoqi replied coldly, and after speaking, he twisted his face to the side.

"I didn't want you to surrender, although you are very talented, but, after all, your crime is too big, I am not qualified to recruit you. Moreover, your life is not long in coming, and the dead have been the most important since ancient times, so I still plan to leave you the name of a 'tough guy'. Yu Zhong said leisurely.

"Humph! Since there is a rebellion, I want to have such a day! …… Now that it's in your hands, you can kill if you want, how can there be so much nonsense? Qin Baoqi snorted coldly.

"I didn't say I was going to kill you! In fact, your injuries are severe...... Old grandson, how long will he live? Yu Zhong suddenly turned to the goatee and asked.

"There aren't many days left to live! Although someone tried his best to block this kid at that time, his internal organs were severely damaged, his heart and lungs were damaged, and a few pieces of shrapnel also entered his body and could not be taken out. Now it's been three months! The goatee replied.

"Did you hear that?" After the goatee finished speaking, Yu Zhong turned his head and asked Qin Baoqi again.

"Hmph......" Qin Baoqi didn't have any excited look on his face, he just snorted coldly and looked up at the top of the tent and stopped talking.

"Actually, I didn't plan to come to see you, but then I thought that you are a capable person and have been in Taiwan for such a long time, so I still came here with a little hope, just hoping to ask you a word......" Yu Zhong paused for a moment before continuing:

"You say, how to deal with Taiwan's affairs so that the people on this island will not rebel?"
