Dolgon's brow furrowed. He is also an expert, and he has roughly estimated in his heart that shooting a person with such a heavy lead catapult is probably able to penetrate two layers of cotton armor even if he is fifty or sixty steps away.

In the past, when the elite infantry armor and cavalry of the Qing army faced the Ming army, they could often ignore the bird's gun shooting by virtue of their excellent armor. And if you encounter the Ming army with these six coins, how can you not suffer a big loss?!

He could almost imagine that Bolo's men and horses were still attacking the Fujian Ming army head-on according to their previous experience, but they were overturned on their backs under the fierce bird's gunfire.

An army of 70,000 was folded under this mere bird's gun. Dolgon's heart was dripping blood, but he had to admit that the gun invented by the southerners was exquisite, and it was also amazingly powerful, and it was a sharp weapon in battle.

He handed over the firearm to Cai Shiying, "Cai Yushi is in charge of the Great Qing firearms, and you are responsible for copying this firearm, so you must build it in large quantities as soon as possible." I will give you as much money as you need. ”

"The subordinate obeys."

Dolgon said to Wang Yingshi, "Your Excellency has done a great job this time. ”

Wang Yingshi said: "The grass people still have something to give to His Highness." ”

"Oh, and treasures?"

"In military combat, it is not enough to have the advantage of weapons, but also to match the formation and tactics to exert its power." Wang Yingshi said, "In fact, the grass people know that these are all under the guidance of a master. This person is extremely familiar with the military battle array, and he also knows the tactics of the Ming army in detail. ”

"Who? Where are the others? ”

"This person is the former general manager of Ke Yongsheng's department in Jiangxi, named Gao Xiang, who was cut to a small flag official because of his crimes, but he saved his life because of his low official position when Ke Yongsheng was defeated." Wang Yingshi said, "When the grass people saw him, he was being sent to Nanping to work as a coolie. If His Highness can mobilize the strength in his hands to rescue him, he will give up his life and forget his death to repay you for his great kindness. ”

Dorgon nodded, "With such a talent, I will definitely find a way to save him." ”

He looked at Wang Yingshi again, "The two real treasures you offered, just say what you want." ”

Wang Yingshi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't dare to take credit." But I beg the Heavenly Army to break Fujian and cut that Zhu Linmiao with a thousand knives to avenge my great revenge! ”

It turned out that this Wang Yinghua was also considered unlucky, not only the eldest brother Wang Yinghua was convicted of being involved in the coup of the Tang Dynasty, but it happened that his father-in-law, when the prince of the dynasty and the superintendent of the country, Bi Zhigeng, was imprisoned for being captured. Later, he heard that his cousin and several close friends had been beheaded for defecting to the enemy.

He originally just wanted to save his life, but on the way, he saw the firearm held by Long Weijun at a farmer's house, and only after questioning did he know that the villager had picked it up near the battlefield in Jianning.

Wang Yingshi was overjoyed, and immediately took out a hundred taels of silver to buy this gun, and brought it to Beijing to make a vote.

Since he had decided to surrender to the captivity, he planned for the new master in his heart, and told Dolgon about all the affairs of the Taizheng Dynasty, and finally said: "After King Chen took charge, he began to eradicate dissidents, and he casually found a name, in Tianxing Mansion, oh, it is Fuzhou to kill courtiers." A total of more than 170 officials were beheaded, and the government and the opposition were terrified.

"The Southern Ming Dynasty court is in great turmoil because of this matter, and Fang Guoan has taken the opportunity to support the king of Lu and Zhejiang, His Royal Highness can take this opportunity to send a large army to the south, and he will have to fight to reach the world!"

……

Twenty days later.

On the school field of the Qing army camp in Fengtai, Beijing, dozens of core courtiers led by Dolgon were looking at the two teams of Qing soldiers who were conducting drills not far away.

More than a dozen soldiers on the left are holding a new type of bird's gun, and Cai Shiying and Holy Roman missionary John Tang are doing their final training.

And the same more than a dozen soldiers on the right, but they were holding the soldiers and bird guns that were commonly equipped by the Qing army, that is, the three-money guns.

A moment later, Cai Shiying gave an order, and the two teams of Qing soldiers raised their guns at the same time and shot at the opposite wooden target, and suddenly there was a crackling sound.

Although half of the guns in the hands of the soldiers on the left failed to fire, the wooden targets covered with iron sheets in front of them were blasted into a flying frenzy, and more than forty percent of them were pierced by lead bullets.

On the other hand, the soldier holding the soldier on the right side barely broke through the iron sheet outside the wooden target, and it was difficult to find that there were bullet holes left on the target without looking closely.

Zierharang, Tan Bai, Fan Wencheng and others all nodded their heads, but before they could say their praise, they saw that the soldiers on both sides had begun to reload at the same time.

This time, the gap was even more obvious, and the gunpowder had just begun to be fired by the soldiers with the guns, and the soldiers with the new guns had already raised their guns again.

A moment later, the new gun had been fired five times, and the soldier bird had just raised his gun for the third time.

"This new gun is really powerful!" Fan Wencheng was the first to praise and praise, "If 10,000 people launch with a new gun, its power is worth 20,000 old guns." ”

Tan Bai nodded and continued: "I said that the southerners suddenly became warlike, it turned out that they just relied on the new firearms. Just wait for us to make this kind of gun, and teach them to know that it is powerful! ”

He also had the confidence to say this, thinking that the Manchurians didn't know what a cannon was, and they were bombarded by the Ming army and cried wolf. But they were willing to settle down and study, and in more than ten years, their cannon casting technology and output had left Daming far behind.

By the time of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Ming army even had very few heavy artillery, but was bullied by the Qing army with artillery all day long.

Tan Bai believed that this new type of firearm would be the same, and it would not be long before the Qing army would surpass the Ming army in terms of quantity and quality.

While speaking, Cai Shiying and Tang Ruowang also walked over. Tan Bai immediately patted Cai Shiying's shoulder and said with a smile: "As long as Lord Cai leads the craftsmen to rush to the system day and night, my heavenly army will carry tens of thousands of this new gun south, and it will be defeated!" ”

Zilharang said on the side: "Cai Yushi, I just watched a lot of dumb fire, but why? ”

Cai Shiying hurriedly looked at Tang Ruowang beside him, and this missionary was basically responsible for the imitation work. The latter hurriedly arched his hand and said: "My lord, these guns have an exquisite structure, and Xia Guan can only imitate them to this extent in a short period of time. This firing rate will definitely increase in the future. ”

Dorgon added, "How long will it take to make ten thousand of these firearms?" ”

Cai Shiying thought for a while and said, "Back to the regent, the two Beijing Ordnance Bureaus will start together, and it will be enough for three months at most." ”

"Good! The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry were instructed to fully cooperate, and only wait for the improvement of the new gun to be completed, and immediately make a large number of systems. Dolgon turned to Fan Wencheng again, "The officer recommended by Wang Yingshi should also be rescued as soon as possible." ”

……

Zhu Linmiao was arranging the detailed rules for the restructuring with a group of officials in the Ministry of War, and some of the subordinate officials said that Yang Tinglin, Yang Gebu, and others had returned to Tianxing Mansion, and they had arrived at noon.

Zhu Linmiao smiled and nodded: "When he has met the emperor and the queen mother, invite him here." He also needs to hand over many things in the military department. ”

"The subordinate obeys."
