Chapter 434
"The Regent is still important to keep his body. Although he is at a disadvantage now, he still has a great advantage compared to Emperor Taizu's resurgence. Emperor Taizu could also use his thirteen pairs of armor to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. Now we still have more than 100,000 troops, so how can we defeat it?"
Fan Wencheng is not a simple person. He is different from other people. If someone else is changed to someone else at this moment, he will only use some useless language to comfort Dorgon, but he does not know how to rekindle his fighting spirit.
Fan Wencheng's few short words had already made Dorgon's eyes shine.
Dorgon was also suddenly enlightened at this moment. Didn’t his father always want to surpass his father when he was able to build a foundation with thirteen pairs of armor?
Didn’t he always think that he was the most capable person in the Qing Dynasty? No matter how bad the situation is, it is impossible for his father to be even worse than that in the past, right?
"Mr. Fan is right. I have lost my composure just now. I shouldn't have been so depressed. I had already told the people here to develop muskets and gunpowder. Now it should have been a result. All the craftsmen in the north gather together. Could it be that they can't compare to the Southern Ming court?"
As long as Dorgon became rational, he would not be so decadent. The first thing he thought of was the fundamental reason for the failure of the war between the two sides.
That is, our weapons are not as good as those of the other party’s archery, horse riding and shooting. Although it is the advantage that the Qing people talk about, the gap is too big compared to the muskets and cannons of the Southern Ming Dynasty court.
The Qing court always wanted to make up for this gap, and didn't care no matter how much it cost, so they had been searching for blacksmiths and gunpowder people everywhere, but there was no progress. Now he remembered this incident again.
Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng and Suksaha had no smiles on their faces.
They indeed captured all the craftsmen from the north and gathered about 1,200 people in the capital, so that they could study the muskets and artillery of the Southern Ming Dynasty day and night.
Although they also imitated some, the quality gap is too big, especially those muskets, which will basically be blown up after three shots.
This is also completely impossible. Although the exact same thing was developed based on the appearance, to be more precise, it was copied, but the materials used were completely different.
The iron smelting technology in this era is definitely not that powerful. It has already used the best iron, but it still cannot support the power of gunpowder.
Fan Wencheng didn't know how to repay this matter at this moment. After all, all the people in the Zao Office were Han people. If the actual situation was explained, then these more than a thousand people would definitely be dead.
Dorgon was in a rage and could do anything, let alone more than a thousand people. If the real situation was reported, the heads of thousands of people could be grounded.
Originally, Fan Wencheng didn't care about the life or death of these people. After all, he didn't know these people, but he had been fighting for so long. Although this guy had never been on the battlefield, he also knew some of the rules of the Southern Ming court.
If these people die because of their own reasons, they are likely to be implicated when the public trial meeting is held.
But if these people were saved, perhaps one day they would become prisoners of the Southern Ming court and could still save their lives by using this matter.
"It just so happens that the King of Japan has nothing to do, and the affairs of the establishment are the most important. You can follow me to take a look."
Fan Wencheng was still thinking about how to get rid of it, but who knew that Dorgon had already made up his mind.
Dorgon is an impatient person and does whatever he wants. When he made up his mind, he immediately walked out of the hall. Fan Wencheng and Suksaha looked at each other and could only follow him honestly.
Fan Wencheng once talked to these craftsmen in private and knew where the root cause was. It was not that their skills were not good, but that the materials were really not enough. They could make similar gunpowder, but they could not make hard iron.
Those craftsmen used a lot of language to make Fan Wencheng understand that this kind of thing cannot be accomplished overnight and must be accumulated over a long period of time.
Fan Wencheng can understand these things, but the question is, can Dorgon understand? If Fan Wencheng said these words, I am afraid that Dorgon will not only not forgive those people, but also think that those people are mean-informed, and maybe even Fan Wencheng will be implicated.
"It is indeed a prosperous scene. My Qing Dynasty was not defeated. As long as these people can develop the same musket, if both sides are fighting, my Qing Dynasty will never retreat."
The courtyard of the Dao Office is far away. Because there are frequent explosions here, they are far away from the palace.
Dorgon almost rushed over along the way. Seeing many people at the door busy, Dorgon was also very happy. This was the happiest thing these days.
"The Regent is here..."
The accompanying guards took a lot of effort to follow, and then the people here knew who this person was. They scared them so much that they quickly threw down their work and ran to the small square outside the building office to kowtow to Dorgon.
"Ma Yunshan, the chief manager of the Weichen Office, has met the Regent and all the sirs."
A thin guy ran in from inside, with some dark face on his face.
It is obvious that they were doing gunpowder experiments just now, and no nobles and nobles came to their place. They were so excited that they could come here in person.
Ma Yunshan is also a hardcore traitor. He turned out to be the main firearm in Guanning Iron Agent. Later, with Wu Sangui surrendering, he became the general manager of the office under Wu Sangui's recommendation.
Speaking of which, I still have some skills, and I also want to follow the Qing Dynasty one by one, but the problem is that the material problem cannot be solved. So when the Regent arrived here in person, the first thing this guy felt was not happiness, but a panic in his heart.
It is precisely because of this incident that although Ma Yunshan is a third-rank official in the court, he still does it himself when it comes to researching weapons.
