The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 646 Desperate

Fifteen miles east of Yangzhou City, the Qing army camp.

Under a big white dragon banner fluttering in the wind, Duoduo took the booklet held by Ma Guangyuan, opened it, glanced at it, and immediately burst out laughing.

"12 shi of brown rice, [-] taels of silver... The most important thing is that there are [-] new flintlocks! Good!" He patted the latter, and said happily, "The honor guards of the southern barbarians are nothing but firearms. The essence. With this batch of firearms now, let's see how they can still be arrogant!"

Ma Guangyuan bowed aside and said: "Your Highness, these are just the grain stored in Beijing's warehouse and the military weapons that are easy to transport. There are 15 stones of grain and grass in Shengjing, and 87 slow-moving cannons. It is estimated that there are still half a month left." Coming soon."

"So many cannons?!" Doduo's eyes lit up, "Including the existing ones in our army, we can fire [-] cannons before the battle. Teach those barbarians how powerful they are!"

He continued to look down, but he was a little surprised, "Why are there [-] pairs of cotton armor? According to the Lecter's defeated army, the barbarian firecrackers are very powerful, and can penetrate our armor from a hundred steps away." , why did you make so many more?"

Ma Guangyuan hurriedly said: "Your Highness does not know, these fifteen thousand pairs of fine armor were made of good steel by the Regent. The general has seen this batch of fine armor when he was in Beijing, and they are extremely strong!"

"Oh?" Duoduo glanced at the long queue of motorcades behind Ma Guangyuan. Unexpectedly, there were unexpected surprises, so he immediately ordered his subordinates, "Take a few pairs and let me see."

"Whoo!"

Soon, some officers returned with cotton armor.Duoduo picked up one and weighed it in his hand. It was ten catties heavier than ordinary cotton armor.He knew in his heart that this armor must be unusual, so he ordered someone to set up a wooden target outside the camp, and put those cotton armor on it.

He took the soldier's blunderbuss held by the guard beside him, glanced at the wooden target fifty paces away, and pulled the trigger.Fortunately, after a bang, the buckshot hit the leftmost target.

He hurriedly stepped forward to inspect it, and saw that although the cotton cloth on the outer layer of the armor was torn, the iron plate behind it was intact.This time Dorgon also spent a lot of money. These gaskets are made of mixed steel, and their toughness is really amazing.

"Not bad!"

Duoduo ordered the guns to be loaded again, and shot at the cotton armor at a distance of forty steps, but it still failed to break through.He tried several times in a row, and the lead bullet finally pierced through the steel sheet on the cotton armor when he was twenty steps away from the wooden target.

"Good! That's great!" He stroked the bullet holes in the cotton armor, nodded in satisfaction, "It's hard for ordinary firecrackers to hurt this armor when they're so close, but no matter how sharp the southerner's blunderbusses are, they won't be able to beat them at a distance of fifty paces." Even if it can withstand it!"

He had seen the Ming army bullets taken out from wounded soldiers before, and he thought their size should be no more than six coins. Referring to the power of the Qing army's three-coin soldier Dingniao gun, he would naturally come to this conclusion.

But how could he have imagined that the bullets of the Ming army would spin violently when they were fired, and their armor-piercing ability was several times higher than that of ordinary lead bullets!This is also the reason why military powers have greatly reduced infantry armor since the mid-eighteenth century—muskets are becoming more and more powerful, and armor cannot stop bullets at all, so why increase the burden on soldiers?

Doduo was still immersed in his own thoughts, turned to look at the convoy that was filing into the camp, and said to Shuosai: "Distribute these weapons. Tomorrow morning, let the soldiers perform martial arts with new guns and new armor. To invigorate our army!"

"Whoo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duoduo's personal guards came from a distance and said loudly: "General, the forwards of King Gongshun and King Huaishun are as far as fifteen miles away."

"The men of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming have arrived." The succession of good news made Duoduo smile all over his face.Both of them had fought against Li Zicheng with him, and their troops are still very effective, and they are also old subordinates, so they are naturally easier to use.

He waved his whip to the officers beside him, "Go, follow me to meet the army."

Ma Guangyuan immediately leaned forward and added the icing on the cake: "Your Highness, in addition to the nearly 1 troops under the command of King Gongshun and King Huaishun, His Royal Highness the Regent also transferred more than [-] Jin troops and old troops under King Zhishun's jurisdiction. Li Guoying's Shaanxi Army has [-] people."

This King Zhishun is Shang Kexi, he has nearly [-] former Great Ming Liaodong Frontier Army under his command, and his combat effectiveness is very strong.Li Guoying was originally Zuo Liangyu's chief soldier, and he followed Zuo Menggeng to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Duo Duo was shocked. He had heard about the agreement between Dorgon and Hauge that whoever had the most military exploits would be in charge. Although he knew that Brother Nine would definitely send a large army to the south, he did not expect to mobilize so many people. People and horses.

Before that, he had the main force of the two white flags, plus the Guan Ning army and some green battalion soldiers, a total of 13 to [-] troops.After Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and others arrive in Yangzhou, he will be able to gather nearly [-] troops under his command!It seems that Brother Jiu is determined to win this time.

However, Duoduo quickly thought of another problem, and frowned at Ma Guangyuan: "The regent has mobilized the Shaanxi Army, Jin Army, Lu Army and most of the Green Battalion in Zhili. As a result, there will be a shortage of troops to suppress the local area... ..."

Ma Guangyuan also knew that his concerns were not bad, but judging from the previous discussions in the Hall of Martial Arts, it was obvious that the regent had put all his eggs in one basket.Coupled with the recent increase in donations and taxes from the imperial court, there may be riots in the local area at any time.

But all this is beyond his control as a "little officer".He was silent for a moment, then continued: "Your Highness, in fact, these are not the main force."

"What?! There are other soldiers and horses?" Duoduo quickly drew all the troops of the Qing Dynasty in his mind, and it seemed that there were no more troops to transfer, only...

He looked at Ma Guangyuan in disbelief, "Brother Ninth wouldn't be..."

"Returning to Your Highness, Gong Adai and Bai Yintu should have led the two yellow flag troops to leave the capital. Generals under the two yellow flags, such as Sony, Sinenbuku, Aobai, Veron, Ahanikan, etc., accompanied them."

Duoduo only felt chills all over his body. Although he didn't know how the ninth brother mobilized the two yellow banner troops, these soldiers had always been used to guard the important areas of the capital, and they were allotted to him... In case the Southern Expedition went bad...

He almost didn't dare to think about it anymore, the huge pressure made it difficult for him to even breathe - what he held in his hand was almost the entire power of the entire Qing Dynasty!In this battle, we can only win but not lose, otherwise the country that Taizu and Taizong took down with one hand may be...

Ma Guangyuan didn't know the turmoil in his heart, so he cupped his hands and said cautiously: "In addition to the large army of the Beijing camp, His Royal Highness also ordered the Raksha people in Beijing to connect, and Xu Zhongli asked the Raksha people to send more than 2000 elite soldiers to help in the battle."

Of course, he only knew that there were Luocha reinforcements coming, but he didn't know that Russia has a small number of people and is now using troops on the Eastern Front. Therefore, among the more than two thousand and three hundred people, only three hundred are real Russians, and the rest are all Russians. The Buryat Mongolian soldiers conquered by them.
