Chapter 363: If Pang Gang does not eliminate the Qing Dynasty, there will be no peace
In the history of world development, there is a force called stubbornness and a habit called conservatism. When these habits and forces are combined, a very powerful force will often erupt.
When Dorgon announced that he wanted to learn firearms technology from the Qingzhou Army, the entire Chongzheng Palace was boiling. The princes and nobles of the Shangsan Banner, including the Lianghuang Banner and the Zhenglan Banner, all jumped up.
"Prince Rui, what do you mean by this? Do you want us to give up the traditions of the Manchus and learn how to use firearms from those cowardly Han people?"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this. Shooting volleys of bows and horses is the foundation of our Manchu country. We must not give up!"
"Prince Rui, what do you want to do? Do you want to push everyone into a pit of fire?"
More than a dozen princes, princes and ministers did not care about the lack of etiquette in front of the king. They all raised their eyebrows and shouted countless condemnations and curses.
Zhenlan Hauge from Gushan'er of Zhenglan Banner also jumped out and said to Dorgon: "Prince Rui, what you said is wrong. We Manchus practice bow and horse. Now you want us Eight Banners disciples to do the same thing as the Han people?"
Isn’t it putting the cart before the horse if we are accustomed to using firearms? We Manchus don’t even need them anymore?”
Gushan Erzhen Ashan of the Zhenghuang Banner also chimed in: "Yes, think back when our Taizu started with the Seven Hatreds and Thirteen Armors, and built such a huge foundation, what did we rely on? It was not the bravery of our side Manchu people.
, if we adapt to the Han people's firearms, I dare to say that within five years, we Manchus will become a group of sheep just like the Han people, and the emperor must think twice!"
Seeing such people jumping out to oppose him, Dorgon remained silent. He just looked back at the general who had just returned with him. But what disappointed him was that most of them lowered their heads, even him.
Duoduo, the younger brother of the same mother, also dared not say a word under Huang Taiji's sharp gaze. At this time, Dorgon had fallen into isolation.
Just when Dorgon was being criticized wildly by everyone, a man stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Huang Taiji's eyes involuntarily froze when he saw the person coming, and said softly: "Rao Yubeile, do you also have something to say?"
"Yes, I have something to say." Facing Huang Taiji's cold gaze, Abatai still held his head high and said, "I think what Prince Rui said is reasonable."
As soon as Abatai said this, not only Dorgon cast a surprised look, but also everyone in the hall showed doubts.
Although Abatai is the seventh son of Nurhaci, he is still above Huang Taiji in terms of age and seniority. Although he has outstanding military exploits and thinks highly of himself, because he was born to a concubine, he has a lower status among his brothers.
Although he was humble, he was often not treated fairly based on his merits. Even his nephews and sons became Heshuobele, but his uncle was still just a Raoyu Beile. Every time Huang Taiji entertained the princes and ministers at a banquet,
As an elder, his *Qihang Feiya* ranking is still lower than that of some of his nephews, which also makes him extremely dissatisfied. His relationship with his brothers is not very good on weekdays, let alone his relationship with Dorgon.
, but now he jumped out in a hurry, which made everyone a little strange.
Abatai said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I am a rough man and I don't know how to speak. But there is something I want to ask you about. That is why Pang Gang appeared since then.
Later, the Qing Dynasty suffered many defeats in his hands, so much so that even the tribesmen around Shengjing were massacred by him?"
As soon as Abatai said this, everyone's faces changed color. Pang Gang walked around Shengjing. The massacre of more than 20,000 Manchus has now become a taboo for the Manchus.
The top management also kept secret about this matter. Now Abata has openly brought it up. Isn't this a slap in everyone's face?
"Actually, I think this matter is very simple. There is only one reason why Pang Gang's Qingzhou Army can become the enemy of our Qing Dynasty. That is that they are equipped with firearms, very sharp firearms. If this is the case, why do our Qing Dynasty
Can't we learn from Pang Gang and equip our Manchu soldiers with firearms? Do we have to wait until the Qingzhou Army once again sets foot on our Qing land?"
"Enough!" A voice shouted to stop Abatai, and then Huang Taiji's fat body came over, staring at Abatai with his eyes like poisonous snakes, and said word by word: "Rao Yubeile, you are
As a descendant of Emperor Taizu, don’t you feel guilty for saying this *Qihang Feiya*? Don’t you know what our Qing Dynasty was founded on? Or let me tell you again?”
After the Qing Dynasty established the Qing Dynasty, Nurhachi regarded cavalry and archery as the magic weapon to conquer the Central Plains, and repeatedly emphasized that cavalry and archery should be the foundation of the Eight Banners and the foundation of his life. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he also repeatedly told Prince Baylor to set an example.
, teach the bannermen how to practice archery. The older ones should learn to shoot with horn bows and arrows, while the younger ones should learn to shoot with wooden bows and willow arrows. Bannermen who are good at riding and archery will not only be given banquets and rewards, but even
Wearing huāxu also had the honor of accompanying the emperor on hunting tours, riding and shooting. But for those bannermen who failed in the examination, what awaited them was reprimand or even hard labor.
And in this atmosphere where the whole country regards riding and archery as the foundation of the country, suddenly asking the banner people to learn firearms from the Ming Dynasty would simply cost the lives of the Manchu and Mongolian banner people. No wonder Huang Taiji would be so angry.
Batai.
Abatai, who had been reprimanded by Huang Taiji, was unconvinced and wanted to speak out, but was stopped by Azig on the side. Azig bowed and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Spare Yu Beile. It was just a few days ago."
I was a little provoked and talked nonsense for a while. Please forgive me, the Emperor."
Huang Taiji glanced at the two of them coldly, and then said: "Solley shooting is the national policy of the Qing Dynasty. Anyone who makes false claims to shake this national policy is a traitor of the Qing Dynasty. These words will be forgotten today, and from now on
I don’t want to hear anyone else insisting on Emperor Taizu’s decision.”
"Scum!" Everyone fell to the ground.
However, Huang Taiji is not such a rigid person. He changed the topic and said: "Of course, the Ming army's firearms are sharp, we must also pay attention to it. We must also have the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, but how are we going to do it?"
The ministers and workers still have to come up with a charter,"
At this point, everyone's eyes turned to a middle-aged man in his forties standing at the end. Huang Taiji also looked over and asked with a very kind expression: "King Gongshun, in our Qing Dynasty, you
The Right Banner is the one with the most firearms among the Han military flags. What do you think of this matter?"
The respectful king whom Huang Taiji served was also a relatively famous person in history. His name was Kong Youde.
After Kong Youde surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the eighth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji still valued him. Not only did he incorporate all the subordinates he brought with him into the Han You Banner in the Han army, he also made him the flag of the Zhenghong Banner.
Lord, since he was from the Ming army, most of the firearms among Huang Taiji's generals were also given to him for use. It can be said that Kong Youde led an army with the highest firearms equipment rate in the Qing Dynasty.
Upon hearing Huang Taiji's question, Kong Youde hurriedly came out and said: "To inform the emperor, the right banner led by the slaves does not dare to be so powerful, but when the slaves were in Shandong, the slaves always suppressed the Ming army and fought.
"
When they got here, Kong Youde was secretly excited. Although the Han military flags at this time were called the Eight Banners, there were actually no eight flags. There were only two left and right flags, commanded by himself, Tong Yangxing and Shi Tingzhu respectively. Now look at
Huang Taiji's posture was to expand the strength of the Han Army Banner. This was a good opportunity for him to enhance his strength. Thinking of this, Kong Youde couldn't help but feel that he was lacking a clue and started to brag.
"Your Majesty, my servant has recently tinkered with a new type of red cannon. It weighs about four thousand kilograms, and the projectile weighs about ten kilograms. It can shoot up to three miles away after being fired. I plan to build twenty-four of this cannon. As long as these
After the construction of the red cannon is completed, the Ming troops in Shandong are no match for the slaves."
"Yes!" Huang Taiji nodded, "But I heard that Pang Gang's fire gun is also very sharp. Does Aiqing have any clever ideas?"
Kong Youde said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I also have three thousand bird cannons. All the cannons used are carefully made by Western craftsmen. They are carved with hundreds of steps to hurt people. If I let the humble minister fight with that Pang Gang, I dare not say everything."
We can annihilate Pang Gang, but there is no problem in defeating him."
"snort!"
It didn't matter what Kong Youde said, but it offended people like Dorgon. Why, you Kong Youde could defeat Pang Gang with only three thousand muskets, so this time 80,000 of us were defeated by Pang Gang
What's the matter with internal injuries? Are you mocking us Qing warriors for being inferior to you Ming troops who surrendered to *Qihang Feiya*?
Duduo couldn't help it at first. He, Duduo, was afraid of Huang Taiji, but he was not afraid of you, the surrendered King. Duduo said with a smile: "Since King Gongshun is so confident, then I, the King
I would like to wish King Gongshun that he will win the battle. I wonder when King Gongshun will lead us to conquer Shandong and avenge our side?"
"Oh no, I was so complacent just now!" Kong Youde, who recovered from his complacency, realized that he had just offended the princes and nobles in the hall, and quickly turned around and bowed respectfully to Duduo:
"Prince Yutong just laughed. How can I dare to compare with you at my level? No matter how hard I try, I have to follow the emperor and all of you."
"Okay, although we Manchus are based on volley fire, we are not so self-proclaimed. If the Han people have firearms, we should also have them. King Gongshun, from tomorrow on, your right banner will have to expand its manpower. Your current
Three thousand people are too few. I allow you to expand to six thousand people, and hurry up to make firecrackers and artillery. You must build a strong firearms army within two years. If Pang Gang does not eliminate the Qing Dynasty, there will never be peace.
."
Everyone knelt down and said in unison: "Scum, please follow the emperor's teachings!"
