"Reducing the tribute of the Sunit Ministries by half?" Dolgon was stunned when he heard this, yes, Teng Jisi, who had always wanted to clean up the disobedience before, had forgotten the reason for the war with the Sunit Ministry.

It's just a tribal tax tribute, and the biggest hidden danger in the Qing Dynasty at the moment lies in the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River. If you only collect a few less cattle, sheep, and furs, you can exchange them for tens of thousands of elites in Duoduo, which is definitely a good deal.

In this way, we can take advantage of the opportunity of the unstable foothold of the southerners and the independence of Zhejiang, gather troops to the south again, and eradicate the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. When Jiangnan is pacified, the small Sunit Department is still at its own disposal?

He then looked at Ning Wan, and said in his heart that these Han officials and ghosts still have a lot of ideas, if he hadn't reminded him, he would have killed and injured tens of thousands of Jianzhou spirits.

"Lord Ning is thoughtful, and he is really a great talent of the country." He then instructed, "Then Lord Ning will go to Mobei on behalf of the imperial court, as long as Teng Jisi still submits to my Qing Dynasty, he can be exempted from all taxes and tribute." ”

After Ning finished, I hurriedly bowed down and said, "Minister, you should live up to your mission." ”

Dolgon nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Prince Su's side is playing well, Zhang Xianzhong has been trapped in the Shu realm now, maybe the end of autumn can be triumphant......"

As he was talking, he saw his personal guard Ao Bai standing at the door and arched his hand: "Master, there is a Jiangnan urgent mail." ”

"Read."

"Huh." Ao Bai said, "The inner Ying of Fujian sent news that Imbele is still alive. It was just a little more than a month ago that he was sent out of Fujian, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Dolgon stood up with a gleam of joy in his eyes. Although he has some discord with Azig, Azig is his eldest brother after all, and he is also an important ally in politics.

Azig was very influential in the two white flags, and Dolgon's success in overtaking Hauge, the prince of Su, to take the position of regent was inseparable from Azig's strong support for him.

Therefore, if Azig were to die, it would greatly shake the foundations of Dolgon's rule.

In addition, Azig is also the twelfth son of Taizu, and if he dies at the hands of the southerners, it will be a great shame that has never been seen since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

Without hesitation, Dolgon commanded in a loud voice: "Order, mobilize all the forces in Jiangnan, and be sure to find out where Azig is." If anyone can rescue him, he will be rewarded with 10,000 catties and promoted to three levels! ”

When the Council of Ministers was over, Dorgon returned to the palace tired.

A few months ago, he was full of thought that the Han people in Jiangnan had no resistance at all, and they could all be captured by the army. Who would have thought that this seemingly dying Nanming small court would make him stumble so much.

Recently, the North and South parties in the DPRK and China have been in a fierce fight, and the Han officials have complained to each other if they have nothing to do. So many things happened inside and outside the Qing Dynasty, which made him exhausted?

"Master, Cai Du Yushi asks to see you." As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, someone came to pay his respects.

Dolgon was upset and frowned, "Cai Shiying? What is he here for? ”

"Back to the master, the slave only knew that he also brought a Nanren and a gun, saying that there was something very important."

"Let him wait in the side hall."

"Huh."

After a long while, Cai Shiying saw Dolgon coming from the back house, and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel and salute, "Your Majesty will meet His Royal Highness the Regent." ”

Dolgon glanced at the man behind him, his face furrowed, "Who is this?" ”

Cai Shiying peeked at Dolgon's face, and said with a smile, "The lower official brought this person, or it may be able to relieve His Highness's worries." ”

"Who the hell is it?"

Cai Shiying didn't dare to sell Guan Zi again, and turned around to signal to the man, "This is the younger brother of Wang Yinghua, the official of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Wang Yingshi." ”

"Oh?"

Wang Yingshi immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "Grass People Wang Yingshi." The brother was convicted for offending King Chen of the Southern Dynasty, and the grass people were fortunate not to be in Fuzhou City, so they were able to get out. and from the sea to the north to the ......"

Dolgon glared at Cai Shiying impatiently, "What are you doing with such a person for me?" ”

Wang Yingshi hurriedly said: "The grass people have brought a treasure to present His Royal Highness the Regent. ”

"Bring it in."

Cai Shiying stopped the eunuch on the side and said, "Your Highness, this thing still needs to be demonstrated outside the house." ”

Dorgon nodded patiently and followed the two out of the side hall.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Cai Shiying asked people to bring wooden planks and other things to stand in the distance, and then handed over the cloth bag behind him to Wang Yingshi.

The latter took out a bird gun from the cloth bag, and said to Dorgon with a bitter face: "Please also ask Your Highness to return the wooden box of the grass people to the guards at the gate." ”

A guard whispered a few words in Dolgon's ear. Dolgon frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Give it to him." ”

Wang Yingshi took back the wooden box and opened it, took out a packet of gunpowder and lead bullet from it and stuffed it into the mouth of the gun, and then pulled a bracket at the back of the gun, making a clicking sound.

Dolgon's guards hurriedly surrounded their master, but when they saw that Wang Yingshi did not use the rope to make the fire, he immediately raised his gun and aimed at the plank in the distance. As he pulled the trigger, sparks flew around the cauldron, and then there was a roar, and the two-inch-thick plank burst into a plate-sized hole, sending sawdust flying.

Dolgon's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "How can he fire a gun without an arquebus?!" ”

Cai Shiying smiled beside him and said, "Your Highness is at ease, and wait for him to shoot again." ”

The king reloaded the ammunition again, pulled the machine open, and then there was a loud bang, and the wooden plank that had been hit was broken by the waist.

Dolgon, who had grown up on the battlefield since he was a child, was extremely familiar with the Bird Gun, and he immediately saw the doorway, and the interval between the two Guns was extremely short, probably less than half the time taken by ordinary Bird Guns.

He pulled Cai Shiying over and said excitedly: "This bird is fast, and there is no need for open flames, if you can control a large number of soldiers, it can double the combat power of our army!" Cai Duyu is indeed an expert in firearms! ”

Cai Shiying shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this gun is not made by me. ”

"Is that him?" Dolgon looked at Wang Yingshi again.

"It's not for me to make it." Wang Yingshi hurriedly put down the gun and said, "This gun is the main battle weapon of the Ming army in Jiangnan, and it took a lot of trouble to get one before the grass people left Fujing. ”

Dorgon's pupils shrank when he heard this, "You mean that the Southerners used this kind of gun to fight Bolo?" ”

"Exactly."

Dolgon's heart was awe-inspiring, no wonder the always weak Ming army was able to defeat Bolo's tens of thousands of horses. This gun is not only easy to use, but also has an extremely fast rate of fire, and if the Nanans are heavily equipped, Bolo will be caught off guard.

"Your Royal Highness the Regent, this gun is not only fast in fire and does not need open flames." Wang Yingshi stepped up with his gun and pointed it to Dolgon.

The latter pushed aside the guards who were blocking him behind him, took the gun and took it to take a closer look, and saw that the gun was about twice as thick as an ordinary bird gun.

Wang Yinghua explained: "This gun is made of six-coin lead bullets, and it is invincible to break armor. ”
