Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

"Master, the slave thinks the artillery should be placed behind the infantry."

"In this way, the infantry can provide protection to the artillery."

"Nonsense, what if you put the artillery behind the infantry and hit your own infantry?"

"You can shoot at the sky. I see that the dog's artillery is shooting at the sky, and I haven't seen them hitting their own people. Why can't our Qing artillery not do it?"

"Joke, how can you hit the sky accurately?"

"That's right, wouldn't that be a blind fight?"

"Then how can Minggou do it? Minggou's artillery is clearly aiming at the sky."

"Everyone, I think the key to the problem is not where the artillery should be placed, but to find ways to improve the mobility and rate of fire of the artillery. This is the key. The defeat of Hunhe this time lies in the rate of fire of the camel cannon. It’s too slow, and the movement of the tiger squatting cannon is really inconvenient, otherwise the Ming army would have no chance to get close.”

"It's really easy for you to say, this matter is not easy."

"The way I see it, it's because the vans and carts haven't been used well."

"Let's talk about the cannon." Dorgon said again.

Seeing this, Chongzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master Mingjian." Hong Chengchou and others echoed.

Hong Chengchou frowned and said: "Master, the Kongming lanterns of the Ming army can fly freely in the air, so my Qing soldiers may have nothing to do with it. The only way to crack it may be to fight poison with poison."

Speaking of Kongming lanterns, the principle and structure are actually very simple, even the Qing Dynasty could make them.

"I shouldn't have called He Luohui and Er Sen to come here, it's just superfluous."

But I saw that the prisoner-of-war camp in the central headquarters of the Ming army was already full of prisoners of war. There were prisoners of war from the Han army, but more of them were Manchurian prisoners of war from the Eight Banners.

Xu Yinglong's face immediately showed a look of grief, and he replied: "The wounded soldiers of our army who were rescued from the battlefield totaled more than [-], and more than [-] of them were disabled due to injuries. Even if they recovered, they might not be able to return to the army. .”

When it comes to fighting, the Jurchens and Mongols are still very good at it, but when it comes to using their brains, they are obviously not as good as the Han people.

……

When Xu Yinglong turned around and saw that it was Xu Yingwei, he quickly apologized and said with a smile, "Brother, why are you here?"

Instead of being proud, Xu Yingwei became more humble.

……

If Nian Gengyao from another world line dared to ask the emperor to lead his horse after he made great achievements in destroying the country, he really didn't know how to write the word "death".

Xu Yingwei personally led a hundred cavalry scout cavalry to meet Chongzhen twenty miles away.

"Yes." Xu Yinglong snapped to attention, and said proudly, "Report to Xu Gejian, the commander-in-chief of Daming Grandfather Xu Yinglong is counting the number of slaves and prisoners of war, please give instructions!"

So whether it is Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and other surrenders, or Manchu military officials like Tazhan, Baiyintu, Sukesaha, or Taiji from Horqin Mongolia like Ersen, they are all very enthusiastic.

Let’s talk about Jiannu again.

"Quickly summon Tang Ruowang to Liaodong."

At this time, Ning Wan and I suddenly murmured and said, "However, it is a bit strange to say that the Ming army did not use a large Kongming lantern when they counterattacked this morning. This is really puzzling."

Speaking of the large Kongming lantern of the Ming army, Dorgon still feels lingering fear at this moment.

But it's not nothing, at least I started to pay attention to this issue.

Xu Yinglong was patrolling the prisoner-of-war camp with a saber he picked up on the battlefield.

But fortunately Xu Yingwei didn't.

There have been too many arrogant generals in history.

"Brother Ning was also killed?" Xu Yingwei was saddened when he heard this.

Xu Yingwei sighed and asked again: "What about the casualties? How many are killed?"

So in the face of Dorgon's question, Hong Chengchou and the others were speechless.

Dorgon was so quarreled that he could only send away Tazhan, Baiyintu, He Luohui and other Manchu military officials, as well as Ersen and other Horqin Taiji, but Hong Chengchou and the others were left behind.

Chongzhen held Xu Yingwei's hands, saying in his heart that Xu Yingwei's humility and knowing how to advance and retreat really has Xu Da's legacy.

After a while, it was Hou Fangyu who said, "Master, regarding the red-clothed cannon, I think it's best to ask Tang Ruowang, because Tang Ruowang is an expert in firearms after all."

"Fight poison with poison?" Dorgon asked, "Heng Jiu, what do you mean by that?"

After the quarrel just now, Dorgon once again realized a cruel fact.

Even Jiannu's tiger crouching gun is aimed directly.

"Lie down honestly, don't move!"

"Why can the red cannons of the Ming army be placed behind the infantry? Why can their shells not fall on their own heads, but can accurately hit my Qing soldiers?"

"More than three thousand and one hundred." Xu Yinglong Qianran said, "Including Gu Lushuai."

Chongzhen was actually very worried that Xu Yingwei would become defiant because of the Hunhe victory.

"It makes sense." Dorgon readily accepted.

Such punishment is not harsh.

……

After a pause, Xu Yingwei asked again: "Have we finished counting the casualties of our army? How many people in total?"

At that time, as long as he walked a little slower, he, Dorgon, would have already become a wronged soul under the lamp.

But now, Xu Yingwei has also achieved this. Although he has made great achievements, he is not at all proud.

Such as Wu Qi, Han Xin, and Sapphire in the early Ming Dynasty were all defeated because of their arrogance.

"Could it be because of the strong wind?" Fan Wencheng's expression changed.

"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, dig out your eyeballs?"

Chongzhen even doubted whether Xu Yingwei's branch was Xu Da's exile's son or grandson?
As a military commander, it is not difficult to maintain humility in a short period of time. The difficult thing is to maintain humility for a long time. It is not difficult to maintain humility for a long time.

So far, Jiannu's artillery has been aiming and firing.

So no one dares to offend easily.

A Jian Nu glared at Xu Yinglong, but was kicked to the ground by Xu Yinglong.

The room fell into silence again.

Xu Yingwei snorted and said, "Has the result been counted?"

Dorgon said: "However, no one can guarantee that there will be no wind when we fight the Ming army next time, so we also need to build large Kongming lanterns, and we must have what the Ming army has."

"That's right, if it weren't for the loss of all the sidecars and the car in the first attack, the result of this Hunhe battle would be completely different, so we must avoid repeating the same mistakes next time."

But Xu Yingwei insisted on paying five prostrations and three kowtows to Chongzhen before getting up.

"Minister Xu Yingwei, please pay homage to the Holy Spirit." Only a hundred steps away, Xu Yingwei got off his horse early and paid homage to Chongzhen, without the slightest arrogance of a hero.

Of course, Han Chen could only be scolded.

But such a tactical discussion is doomed to be impossible to discuss substantive results.

"That should be the case." Hou Fangyu said, "Kongming lanterns are afraid of strong winds."

There is no such thing as distance measurement, ballistic calculation.

"There is no brother here, only the military department of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge." Xu Yingwei said coldly.

"No, in my opinion, it's because the Eight Banners Han army can't fight tough battles."

The next morning, Chongzhen returned to the battlefield on the south bank of the Hun River with eight hundred barbarians.

"The key is that our Qing's self-generated guns are not sharp enough."

"That's right, we have to hurry up and build a van and a car."

In history, only a handful of generals like Xu Da can do this.

Disabled prisoners of war will only increase the burden on the Ming Dynasty, but cannot create value, so what is the benefit of keeping them?

"Xu Yinglong, what are you doing?" A harsh voice came from behind.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou and the others do not have systematic artillery application thinking.

"Oh, that's right, we also make Kongming lanterns." Dorgon's eyes lit up immediately.

"The disabled don't need to be treated anymore." Xu Yingwei said coldly, "Let's execute them on the spot."

Hong Chengchou said: "What the slave means is that we also make large Kongming lanterns."

"Report to Xu Guijian. A total of more than 8000 prisoners of war were captured, including more than 5000 real slaves." After a short pause, Xu Yinglong continued, "There are more than 900 Jian slaves who have been seriously injured and disabled. Do you want to be treated?"

Dorgon said with some self-mockery: "But it's all right now, without the interference of these people, we can seriously discuss how to deal with the Ming army? Especially how to deal with the large Kongming lanterns of the Ming army?"

Before the battle is over, the Ming army will not show mercy to Jiannu.

The end result can only evolve into complaints, quarrels and even abuse.

"Pingshen, Youzhen, please get up quickly." Chongzhen also hurriedly dismounted to help Xu Yingwei up.

"Give me all the honesty!"

This is likely to be the first real tactical discussion since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

"Did you see the corpses in front? That's a role model!"

But once the battle is over, the Ming army strictly forbids the killing of prisoners, violators will be severely punished, the recruits will be deprived of their salaries, and the sons of Qin Wang will be dismissed and deprived of their salary.

"Because the wind is strong, you are worried that you will be blown away by the wind, so you dare not move?"

"Whoever dares to move will be killed!"

This time, more real slaves were caught than the Eight Banners Han army.

After the victory in Guting Town before, didn't Hu Guozhu just drift away?The Hunhe victory was more influential than the Guting victory, so Chongzhen was really worried that Xu Yingwei would also drift away.

Chongzhen smiled and said: "Youzhen, this Hunhe victory, you have made great achievements for Daming, I really don't know how to reward you, ha ha."

"Your Majesty's words are too much." Xu Yingwei hastily declined, "This Hunhe victory depends on the Holy Majesty's strategic planning, and on the other hand, the soldiers of the infantry brigades use their lives. I just follow the prescription and grab the medicine. If the Holy Majesty chooses a scholar of King Qin to come here, he can also win the Hunhe victory."

"Too modest, Youzhen, too modest." Chongzhen said with a smile.

"This Hunhe victory, you should be the first to contribute. This is an undoubted fact."

Xu Yingwei didn't say anything more, because he was very clear about the truth that too much was too late. In front of the Holy One, one should not take credit for pride, but one should not be too humble either.
