Dolgon waved his hand vigorously and instructed Cai Shiying: "Order, immediately buy a large number of these fans and lamps, and disassemble the new reeds made of good steel as soon as possible!" ”

"The subordinate obeys." Cai Shiying paused, and then said, "Your Highness, it's just ...... The price of these toys of the southerners is extremely expensive, just like the clockwork fan, one of which costs forty taels, and the steel carried is only enough to use two guns. ”

In other words, the flintlock guns now made by the Qing court are only steel for reeds, and the cost of each is more than 20 taels of silver. Coupled with the cost of making the gun itself, the price is close to 30 taels!

But Dolgon did not hesitate to say: "Buy as much as you want, no matter what gold and silver!" He sneered in his heart, it was just money, as long as he could defeat the Ming army and seize a large area of land south of the Yangtze River, it would be millions of taels of silver that could be replenished immediately.

Cai Shiying was overjoyed, "Your Highness is wise." Then he continued to invite merit, "By the way, this Qian Shilang also recommended a Yiren missionary named Qiao Weili. This person is still the old man of Taichang Temple Shaoqing Tang, and he also has a lot of experience in making firearms. ”

The Master Tang he was talking about was John Tang, and this Qiao Weili was the missionary that Zhu Linmiao had helped in Qingliu County last year.

Dolgon was also very generous, "Grant him an official position and let him follow John Tong to supervise the manufacture of firearms." ”

After discussing the war between Mo Nan and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Ji Erharang arched his hand and said: "Nine Princes, Prince Su and Tong Dutang also have to send some people, otherwise they will ......."

Dorgon gave him a blank look, "Where are the adjustable soldiers right now?" ”

Fan Wencheng continued: "It's not nothing. ”

"You mean ......"

"Send the Beijing battalion and the Shengjing garrison to help."

Dolgon's brows were tightly wrinkled together, there were indeed nearly 30,000 elites of the Eight Banners in several important towns in Beijing and Jianzhou, but these were the last forces to defend their hometown.

"There is no need to make more adjustments," Fan Wencheng said busily, "5,000 in Sichuan, 4,000 in Jingzhou, and another 1,000 to Shandong to quell the rebellion, and the minister estimates that he will be able to hold out for at least another four or five months."

"But if these enemy forces are allowed to grow, I'm afraid it will shake the community......"

Dolgon knew that the loss of Haoge's side meant that Xiankou would go straight to Shanxi, Shanxi and other places. Lost Jingzhou, Henan is in the pocket. Not to mention Shandong, if the chaotic army cannot be suppressed, the capital will be shaken.

He hesitated for a long time, so he had to sigh and say: "I will transfer 6,000 Beijing battalions, 2,000 Shengjing garrisons, and 2,000 Jilin and Heilongjiang garrisons to various places to help." ”

……

"Congratulations, Mr. Qian." Cai Shiying greeted him with a smile when he was far away.

Tang Ruowang and the others beside him also immediately waved their hands and saluted, "Lord Qian has made a great contribution this time. ”

"The Holy Lord personally issued an edict to commend him, Lord Qian is really glorious."

At noon, Dolgon sent an edict to praise Qian Qianyi and rewarded him with a lot of things, because the latter solved the stubborn problem of the Qing army's low firing rate of flint fire.

This is something that even John Tong can't do anything about. Therefore, Qian Shilang has now been appointed to assist Cai Shiying in charge of the Ordnance Bureau, and Qiao Weili, who was recommended by him, has also become the deputy envoy of the Ordnance Bureau and is reused.

Qian Qianyi had a smile on his face, but the situation of that day appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind him.

A few days ago, his favorite concubine Liu Ru brought a stunning woman home, saying that she was her good sister when she was in Qin Huai. He didn't think much about it at the time, but that night all the subordinates and guards in his house were restrained, and the sister of Liu Ruye put a dagger against his neck.

Later, a man who claimed to be a thousand households in Weibei Town, Jinyi of the Ming Dynasty, first said that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King of the Ming Dynasty believed that he Qian Qianyi was still in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, and then said that he knew that Master Qian was in prison and miserable, and he could help him get rid at any time.

His concubine Liu Ru was still helping on the side, saying that she was willing to return west with the master.

Qian Qianyi was most afraid of death, so he relented at that time, and hurriedly said that his heart was in Daming and he was willing to do his best. The brocade guard only asked him to go to Cai Shiying tomorrow and say that he would make firearms.

The next day, he found Cai Shiying, and before he could speak, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat - the person standing next to the latter was actually the Da Ming brocade guard who was in his house last night!

Only then did he know that his life was in the hands of others at any time, and when he returned home, he found that Liu Ru had changed all his subordinates. He didn't need to be introduced, he also knew that these people must be Jinyiwei from Fujian.

The opponent is pervasive, and there is a wife who "collaborates with the enemy", Qian Qianyi had to give up resistance. In addition, he surrendered because he was afraid of death, but in fact, he still had some feelings for Daming, so he officially started to respond.

According to the female brocade guard named Hui Wen, the task given to him by the Ming Auxiliary King was to order some "technology tree" of the crooked Qing army.

In fact, he was extremely unsure, because he didn't know how to make firearms at all, and Qiao Weili, whom he recommended, was also a white one in this regard.

They memorized the words taught to Jinyiwei by the Ming Auxiliary King every day, and when they encountered specific problems, they handed them over to the "apprentice" behind them to solve, and that person was actually a gunsmith from Fujian.

"Oh, that's right," Cai Shiying patted Qian Qianyi on the shoulder, "The regent has asked the household department to allocate 300,000 taels of silver for the purchase of those playthings of the Nanren. If it weren't for Lord Qian's discerning eyesight, who would have thought that there was such steel in this thing? ”

"Three hundred thousand taels!" Qian Qianyi wiped a cold sweat and forced out a smile, "Okay, it's good......"

Qiao Weili was arguing in German, Gao Xiang and Wang Yingshi were listening with wide eyes, and several other Slavic-looking people nodded with the translation.

"No, no, no, the number of spearmen is too small, absolutely not."

Tang Ruowang pointed at Gao Xiang and said, "But he doesn't even have a spearman in the army, but his combat effectiveness is very amazing." ”

Qiao Weili pretended to be disdainful as Zhu Linmiao ordered: "He is just a general of the defeated army, and he has only seen the enemy formation on the battlefield. If this can replicate elite troops, then what do you need professional officers for? ”

He said, glancing at the Slavs beside him. This is a group of Rakshasa countries, that is, Russian expeditions, who were favored by John Tong to help the Manchus train their troops. Many of these people have been military officers before, and they can be regarded as professional counterparts.

Kolotov immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Qiao Weili is right! Even the most radical Swedish army had at least a third of the spearmen, and this Mr. Gao remained only a fifth. As far as I know, no army in the world has done this. ”

Another Rakshasa beside him continued, "That's right, in our Rakshasa country, the number of spearmen is even more than half. ”

To be honest, even John Tang himself was not very confident about the number of spearmen set by Gao Xiang, and no matter how you look at the "bayonet" installed on the muzzle, it feels like it can't deal with the cavalry.
