Chapter 756: A Little Abacus
It was a twenty-four-pound flowering projectile containing about twelve pounds of black powder, and although the explosion was not as powerful as modern shells loaded with TNT, it was enough to tear a creature more than ten meters into pieces.
When the smoke cleared, everyone found that more than a dozen Qing soldiers who had been hiding behind the battlements had turned into corpses of different shapes. Most of the corpses, though in good shape, were no longer breathing after being shattered by the massive shockwave.
"Your Majesty, go quickly, you can't stay here!"
Seeing this scene, the generals around Huang Taiji stopped talking, and they didn't wait for Huang Taiji to agree to hug him one by one and went down the city wall, and Huang Taiji just scolded a few words and pushed the boat down.
No one is a fool, they know better than anyone how powerful the artillery of the Ming army is, and no one will risk their own lives for the sake of the so-called face. These shells don't know who the emperor is and who is the pawn.
After arriving in the Tibetan Soldier Cave, Abatai, who was so angry that his face turned pale, couldn't help but roar anymore: "Why is this happening, didn't you say that you will give us half an hour, why do you fire now, no wonder Huang Ama has said before that the words of the Ming people are the most untrustworthy." β
The faces of everyone were also ugly, and the knight's words just now seemed to be still in their ears, and he reversed himself as soon as he turned around, which was too despicable.
While everyone was silent, the sound of the cannon stopped abruptly, as if the cannon just now was just their illusion.
After a long time, Emperor Taiji snorted coldly: "Sure enough, it is full of Yang Feng's style, this cannon just now is warning us, if we don't surrender, what awaits us can only be blown into ashes." β
Everyone was silent, even if someone wanted to express the unyielding in their hearts, but the words were swallowed back to their mouths, they all understood that no matter how slippery they said, they were not as useful as steel knives.
Huang Taiji glanced at everyone, took in everyone's expressions, and said lightly: "What kind of person Yang Feng is is better than Zhu Qing than me, although he gave us a chance to surrender, but according to this person's extreme hatred for the Qing Dynasty, even if Zhu Qing surrenders now, I am afraid it will not end well, don't forget what we have done to the Han people over the years, is it possible that you will be naΓ―ve to think that he will forget?" β
There was still silence, and these old people did not know what the Han people did to them better than these people. After more than ten years of frenzied slaughter, less than 500,000 of the original more than 2 million Han people in Liaodong were left at this time, and the rest of the people were all killed by them.
Taking a deep breath, Abba Tai said loudly: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, the ministers are the people of the Qing Dynasty, and the death of the Qing Dynasty is also the ghost of the Qing Dynasty, since the Han people don't give us Manchus a way to live, then let's let them see, we Manchus are not afraid of death."
The minister is here today to make a statement, even if he dies in battle, he will never bow to those lowly Nikan! β
Looking at the impassioned Abatai, Huang Taiji also stood up and hugged him emotionally: "Good brother, now that we are in the midst of a national crisis, let us brothers join hands to tide over the difficulties, and Huang Ama will bless us in the spirit of heaven!" β
Dai Shan also stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Han people deceive people too much, since they want to destroy my Qing Dynasty, then let them come, Shengjing has 80,000 iron horsemen and hundreds of thousands of people, I want to see how they can destroy us!" β
The surrounding generals also shouted: "Yes...... Let those Han people taste the power of our Qing Dynasty iron horse! β
At this time, the atmosphere in the Tibetan soldier cave can be described as warm, and a number of important ministers of the Qing Dynasty have expressed their determination to live and die with Shengjing, and Huang Taiji also took the opportunity to make arrangements for the city defense.
The east and west gates were taken care of by Daishan and Amin respectively, the west gate was taken care of by Dolgon's white flag, and the southern gate, Huang Taiji, who was most likely to be attacked, handed him over to Abatai.
This decision was also well thought out, although Abatai had not been taken seriously by himself before, but this person was brave and not afraid of death, and it was most suitable to use him to defend such a hard bone as the South City Gate.
Dai Shan and Amin have no problem defending the east and west gates respectively, both of them are old and serious people, and it is most appropriate for them to defend the east and west cities, and Dorgon, his fourteenth brother, although he is still young, he and the three brothers Duoduo and Azig are already in charge of nearly 20,000 elites with white flags and white flags, so it is most suitable for him to defend the west city gate.
After assigning the task, Huang Taiji let everyone disperse.
The three brothers, Dolgon, Duoduo and Azig, were the last of the all, and since all three of them were born to Nurhachi's concubine Abaga, the relationship between the three was naturally much deeper than the others.
Duoduo followed behind Dolgon, and as he walked, he pouted: "It sounds better than singing, and it is a good calculation, why don't you understand your own yellow and yellow flags, but let us people stand in the way." β
Sixteen-year-old Duoduo was at an age when he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and in the words of later generations, he was in the second grade of secondary school, and he was very dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's arrangement, and he immediately said it.
Dorgon glanced at Dorgon and reprimanded: "You think you can see it alone, why don't you say it to Big Baylor and Second Baylor, just say it, it seems that you can bear it?" β
Strange to say, although Dorgon is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is the most obedient to Dorgon, so his relationship with Dorgon is also the best, seeing Dorgon reprimanding himself, he just touched his head and grinned and stopped talking.
Dolgon looked around and saw that there was no one, so he whispered, "There's nothing wrong with us defending the West Gate, at least once things change, it's the most convenient for us." β
"Most convenient?"
Duoduo and Azig glanced at each other, and immediately understood what Dorgon meant by convenience.
Duoduo's face couldn't help but change slightly: "Brother Fourteen, you mean ......"
"Shh......h
Dolgon's voice lowered, and he sneered: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, this man has sent most of his concubines and Agoge away last night, why should you know why?" β
"What...... Is this true? β
Azig's face also changed, the big war was imminent, but the emperor sent all his wives and children away, he knew too well what this meant, which showed that even Huang Taiji had no bottom in his heart about this war.
Seeing Azig's discolored face, Dorgon snorted softly, "He thought he had done this without anyone knowing, but how could he hide it from my eyes." When we get back later, you all hurry up and make arrangements, hurry up and pack up the jewelry at home, and send your family out tonight when we move in. β
Hearing this, Duoduo hesitated a little: "Send it out, but where can we go?" β
Without thinking, Dorgon said, "The one who sent his concubines to Hetuala, let's send them there, and if things change, we might as well have a way out." β
Huang Taiji didn't know that the war had just begun, and the princes and ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had their own small calculations.
