Shi Tingzhu took refuge in Dolgon at a very fast speed, because he had already heard of Dolgon's reputation, and also knew that his former master, Huang Taiji, was the most feared person in the early days was Dolgon, who was only a teenager and not even an adult.

Although it is not clear what Huang Taiji is afraid of Dorgon, as Huang Taiji's minion, he knows Huang Taiji's methods very well, and the people who can be feared by him will not be so simple.

Therefore, after comprehending the "kindness" of Baylor, he chose Dolgon as quickly as possible and served Dolgon conscientiously.

Now, Shi Tingzhu saw Dolgon's movements, and immediately understood, trotted over, and looked around the two small cannons in front of him.

The two small cannons in front of us are a kind of weapon used by the infantry artillery used by the Huaxia Army when the Houjin side summed up the lessons and lessons of the Fuzhou Campaign.

At the beginning, the Huaxia Army used the kind of small-caliber artillery called infantry artillery to accurately bombard the battlements on the head of the city and the defenders behind the breastwork at the far distance of the city head of Fuzhou.

The extremely fast rate of fire and the ability to accurately strike from the point and surface caused great losses to the Houjin Army, so that all the generals of the Houjin Army from top to bottom remembered it and did not dare to forget it at all.

Now, after months of hard work, Houjin's cannon foundry has finally imitated this small cannon according to the various power, size and other data described by the people.

Shi Tingzhu was happy in his heart, but also a little uneasy, he was afraid that he couldn't see it accurately, which would affect the imitation work of the small cannon, if he missed Dolgon's plan to expand his strength against the Huaxia Army, he was afraid that his life would be very difficult.

So, as he got closer, he looked more and more closely. After looking at it for a while, his eyes suddenly flickered.

In his opinion, it seems that there is something wrong with the imitation of these two small copper cannons? Not only is the size not right, but the length of the cannon barrel is also not right, and even the size of the two wooden wheels is not up to the number!

What's going on here? Was he wrong, or was there a problem with the artillery data they dictated some time ago, or was it that these craftsmen didn't have the heart to cast the cannon at all?

He didn't know what was causing the discrepancy. So, he decided to look at it more carefully and not jump to conclusions.

Then, as if he was still a little unsure about raising a child, he hesitated and cowered to confess his sin to Dorgon, and ran a few dozen paces away, turning his head to look in the direction where the two small cannons were.

This operation continued for a long time, and it was not until after a long sound that Shi Tingzhu ran back again and reported to Dolgon's knees.

"Back to the master, the two small copper cannons we cast seem to be bigger than the fast and convenient small cannons of the Chinese army that the minions saw under Fuzhou City."

Dolgon himself knew very well that this was only the first time that it was cast, and it was impossible to completely imitate the small cannon used by the Huaxia army, and now, he was most concerned about how different this cannon was.

So, Dolgon asked in a flat tone, "Compared with the artillery of the Huaxia Army, what kind of big method is this small cannon?" Tell all of us here. ”

Shi Tingzhu heard Dolgon's question, recalled what he had seen at the beginning, and still felt a little palpitating.

Not only because he was afraid of the powerful firepower and offensive of the Huaxia army at the beginning, but also because he was afraid that Dolgon would also remember his poor performance in that battle and blame him, which made his heart quite nervous.

You must know that at the beginning, he took thousands of Wuzhen Chaoha's soldiers, and when the number far exceeded the scale of the Huaxia Army, he was defeated by the musket of less than 100 Huaxia soldiers in Fuzhou.

This incident spread everywhere with the return of the Jurchen Eight Banner armor soldiers who had supervised the war, making him a big joke in the Later Jin country.

When Dorgon heard the news, he was furious.

If it weren't for the fact that Dolgon was at a critical moment when he was competing for the throne with the other three councillors, and he urgently needed to increase the power in his hands, and he was worried that disposing of Shi Tingzhu would make the hearts of the new people joining his forces unstable, Shi Tingzhu would have been cut off his head early in the morning.

Thinking of this, Shi Tingzhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, for fear that Dolgon, who would turn over the old accounts at this time, carefully answered Dolgon's question.

"Master Qiqi, with the eyes of a slave, it seems that the two bronze cannons we cast seem to be larger than the small cannons of the Huaxia Army, and even the barrels are longer.

Also, the wheels placed on this gun rack seem to be smaller than those on the small gun trucks used by the Huaxia Army. ”

Shi Tingzhu tried hard to recall what he had seen and heard in Fuzhou City, and at the same time cautiously made his own answer.

He can be regarded as an officer in the Houjin Army, who has seen the most infantry artillery of the Huaxia Army, the Battle of Dalinghe, the Battle of Jinzhou, and the Battle of Fuzhou a few months ago, a total of three defeats, he himself has experienced the whole process.

This is also the main reason why Dorgon specially called him over today to watch the two small bronze cannons newly imitated.

Because of his own heavy losses, he was afraid that Dorgon would alone give this imitation of a useful small cannon to Yue Tuo, who was hiding around, and also made a special trip from the front line.

At this time, I heard Yue Tuo nod and said, "It seems that the small cannon used by Chen Xin's army, the barrel is not too long, Ben Beile has estimated, it is only about four feet long, and the cannon we cast must be heavier than the one used by the Huaxia army."

Moreover, with all due respect, the cannon barrel of the Huaxia Army should also be extremely light and thin, at least much thinner than ours, so it can be so light that only two or three people can push it to walk like flying.

Fourteen Baylor, according to my estimates, the weight of those small cannons of the Huaxia Army will definitely not exceed 500 catties. ”

During the previous Battle of Fuzhou, when he rushed to aid Duoduo with the red flag, he saw the infantry artillery used by the Huaxia Army in that field battle, and because of its extremely fast rate of fire and the extremely fast adjustment speed of the muzzle direction, he couldn't help but observe a few more times.

It's a pity that his subordinates were busy at the time, and most of them were arranged by him to go to the other side to rescue Duoduo, and the rest had to supervise the battle behind the Han army banner troops, so they couldn't see too clearly.
