Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 343 Daming may have capable people and strangers to help!

"Princess Kunxing?" Hong Chengchou was also very surprised when he heard Dorgon's words.

If Hong Chengchou still had impressions of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, he also knew the other two princes of Chongzhen, King Ding and King Yong.

But it was the first time he knew the name of Princess Zhu Yuxi of Kunxing in the military newspaper sent by Shaanxi not long ago.

But he didn't pay attention at the time.

Because in Hong Chengchou's view, it is impossible for a woman to truly take power and command the army in this troubled world, so Aunt Zhu is probably a puppet supported by officials of the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan.

However, if the Daming Supervisor of the Yangzhou Battle was really Kunxing Princess Aimee Zhu, then her affairs might not be so simple.

Seeing that Dorgon and the others had been staring at this side, their expressions becoming more and more impatient, Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "If Princess Kunxing is in Sichuan Jianguo, she only needs to take a boat down the river in Sichuan. You can arrive in Nanjing.

As for how Princess Kunxing's army could defeat our powerful Qing army of tens of thousands, I had no idea for a moment.

But as long as someone in Duduo's army returns from Yangzhou, it will be easy to know what happened. "

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Hauge said again, "If we have the patience to wait for the defeated soldiers from Yangzhou to come back, why should we ask you to come over and ask?"

With Dorgon behind him, Hong Chengchou wasn't too afraid of Hauge, so he said, "I really don't know how Princess Kunxing won at the moment, please forgive me, Prince Su."

"Excuse your mother's size." Hauge scolded directly after eating soft nails.

Of course, he wasn't very angry, just like scolding an ordinary slave.

Although Hong Chengchou was unhappy, he didn't show it.

On the other side, Dorgon said a few breaths later: "King Su must not be rude to the Grand Scholar."

Hearing this, Hauge was ready to hate Dorgon, and saw a guard walking in quickly, and went directly to Dorgon's side and said, "My lord, Boluo, Han Dai, Erosechen, and Geng Zhongming are back."

Dorgon lifted his spirits and said, "Quickly tell them to come to the Hall of Martial Heroes to answer."

"Whoo."

About a few people waited outside the palace after returning, so they were taken into the Hall of Martial Arts after a while.

Although the appearance of the four of them could not be said to be in a state of embarrassment, they were also dusty and haggard.

After several people saluted Fulin, Bumbutai, Dorgon and several other princes, Dorgon asked directly: "How did you lose? King Yu, did he die in battle or was he captured?" ?”

Erosechen and Geng Zhongming both lowered their heads and remained silent.

One of them is Mongolian and the other is Han. On this occasion, unless the people above ask by name, it is difficult to speak.

Han Dai first said: "The defeat in this battle is all because of the sharp firearms of the Ming army."

"Are you kidding me?" Hauge said before Dorgon again, "The firearms are so sharp that King Yu killed 10,000+ troops? If so, I would have destroyed the Ming Kingdom early in the morning.

When Taizu and my father were in power, when were the weapons of the Ming army not sharp?But so what?As long as the commander dispatches troops and horses properly and the soldiers dare to die, won't they win big victories one after another?

Oh, but he, Duoduo, can't do it when he encounters the sharp weapons of the Ming army?No, no, right? He won't withdraw his troops? "

Daishan, Jierhalang in the hall, and Bumbutai behind the screen all had strange expressions.

They could see that Hauge's words seemed blunt, but in fact every sentence implied that Yangzhou's defeat should be Duoduo's main responsibility.

It was Dorgon's decision to award Duo Duo as the general of Dingguo to conquer Nanming.

After all, it is still targeting Dorgon.

Dorgon's face was ugly, but he didn't argue with Hauge, but said: "King Su, let them finish their speech and explain the matter in more detail."

Hauge snorted, and stopped messing around.

Han Dai said: "I have never led troops to the front to fight the Ming army, let Boluo tell the story."

"Then Bolo said."

Bo Luo said: "The Ming army has a new type of artillery, which is comparable to the best Hongyi cannon in King Gongshun's army.

Its shooting range can reach up to four miles, and most of them use flowering bombs. When a flowering bomb falls, within a radius of two or three feet, soldiers will be injured or even killed directly, no matter how many layers of armor they wear.

And this kind of artillery fires quickly - our Dahongyi cannon takes two to three hundred breaths to fire one shot, but this artillery can fire one shot at fifty or sixty breaths.

In addition, judging from their cannon carriages and the speed with which they moved the cannon, this kind of artillery should be far lighter than the Hongyi cannon of the same power.

In the border guards and guards of the Ming army, there were about fifty or sixty such artillery pieces in a town.

In the Battle of Yangzhou, the total number of such artillery reached three or four hundred! "

"You were defeated by this new cannon?" Daishan opened his mouth with a frown of gray eyebrows.

Boluo shook his head, and continued: "The army under the command of the Ming Dynasty is not only powerful with this new type of artillery, but also equipped with a larger number of tiger squat guns.

Those tiger crouching guns seemed to be made of fine iron, they were powerful, and they were lighter. One soldier could carry them away, and two people could carry them and run.

Among the soldiers and horses in the first town, there are at least one or two hundred such tiger crouching guns.

In addition, ordinary soldiers in the army also wore fine cloth face armor and armor made of refined iron.

Moreover, the armor is mainly composed of two plates at the front and back, which are impenetrable with knives, and difficult for heavy arrows to shoot through within a dozen steps.

Its defense can be said to be comparable to fish scale armor and chain mail stacked together, but it is estimated that it is only as heavy as a set of armor.

In addition, their swords and guns are also made of refined steel, and they are also equipped with many muskets that can be fired without a matchlock.

There is also a reduced version of the enemy, which can be thrown and bombed by soldiers, called grenades. "

Having said that, Bolo paused.

He looked up and found that Dorgon, Daishan, Jierhalang, Haoge, and Hong Chengchou standing beside him all showed shocked and dignified expressions.

Recalling all the encounters in the Battle of Yangzhou, Bo Luo couldn't help sighing: "The border guards and imperial guards under the command of the Ming Dynasty are superior to our Qing Dynasty in everything from firearms to armor and knives.

Moreover, its soldiers did not lack the courage to dare to fight, which was completely different from the previous Ming army.

I dare say that even if our [-] Manchurian Eight Banners army is against the [-] Ming army of this kind, we will lose more than we win. "

There was a slight silence in the Hall of Martial Heroes, and then Haug said: "Boluo, what you said is not just one-sided, right? You haven't seized any of the guns, armor, and swords of the Ming army, have you?"

Obviously, this is questioning Han Dai and Boluo's exaggeration of the Ming army's combat power in order to shirk responsibility for the defeat.

Bo Luo and Han Dai both showed shame when they heard the words.

Immediately Boluo lowered his head and said, "It is true that the guns were not seized, but a few pieces of swords, guns, armor and the grenades were seized."

Hauge wanted to ask more questions, but Jierhalang said first, "For example, how many powerful troops like the Border Guards and Imperial Guards have been sent by the Ming Dynasty?"

Bo Luo said: "Two towns for the Imperial Guard Army and two towns for the Frontier Defense Army. In addition, there is a town of Navy, called the first town of the Yangtze River Navy."

Hearing this, Dorgon looked at Geng Zhongming and asked, "King Huaishun, did your navy lose to the first town of the Yangtze River navy?"

"Yes," Geng Zhongming knelt on the ground and said, "the Ming army's navy had more guns, so our navy soldiers were defeated as soon as we fought against them.

As a last resort, I can only abandon part of the navy boats and soldiers, and cut off the tail to survive. "

Everyone in the Hall of Martial Heroes was silent again, and their expressions became more dignified.

They thought that the defeat was mostly due to Duoduo's carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, and he fell into the conspiracy of the Ming army.

But now it seems that it was Ming who had a strong army, and defeated their Eight Banners army upright.

This situation is much worse than they expected.

While Dorgon and the others were thinking in silence, Bo Luo hesitated and said, "There is one more thing that must be reported to His Majesty, the Regent and all the lords."

"What's the matter?"

"Da Ming may have capable people and strangers to help!"
