Fan Wencheng looked up at Huang Taiji and replied with a smile: "Master, we have found a forger who can cast Hongyi cannons, and there are two of them."
Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment after hearing this, thinking that he heard wrongly. After searching for so long, he still couldn't find a forger who could cast the Hongyi cannon. Now when he suddenly heard Fan Wencheng say that he had found it, it felt unreal.
Seeing that Huang Taiji seemed stunned, Fan Wencheng raised his voice slightly and said: "Master, we have really found a forger who can cast Hongyi cannon!"
Huang Taiji was finally convinced now. He was ecstatic. He quickly approached Fan Wencheng, looked down at him and asked: "How did you find this? How can you find two of them?"
Fan Wencheng raised his head and smiled charmingly: "Relying on the master's prestige, they were completely disappointed with the Ming Dynasty, and moved by the master's sincerity, they took the initiative to abandon the dark side and join the bright side."
Huang Taiji understood. It seemed that the trophies that had been shown to Dai Jin in defeating the Denglai Ming Army had made the Han people who had taken possession of it completely lose their confidence in the Ming Dynasty, and then they defected to Dai Jin.
He figured out the reason and immediately burst out laughing. He never thought that in the encirclement and annihilation battle he had organized so much effort, the real leader Lu Xiangsheng was not killed, but he unexpectedly gained a forger who knew how to cast Hongyi cannons.
Fan Wencheng saw Huang Taiji smiling happily, and he also laughed with him. Suddenly, the loud laughter of the two people came from the Chongzheng Hall, which surprised the guards. I wonder what the Great Khan had with that Han dog.
It's a good thing that I can be so happy.
After Huang Taiji had laughed enough, he looked at Fan Wencheng and asked: "I would like to hear how the caster surrendered?"
"Actually, it's a coincidence that in the coat that the master gave to the slave last time, there was a man named Wang Tianxiang, who was a forger. In addition, the slave originally ordered them to go out to look for the forger, and they found another one named Dou Shouwei, so
There were two of them at one time.”
After hearing this, Huang Taiji laughed again. After a while, he stopped laughing, and for the first time, he bent down and reached out to help Fan Wencheng.
When Fan Wencheng saw it, he was flattered. He prostrated himself on the ground and stuck his butt high in the air. At the same time, he said: "How dare I trouble my master to help me? I'm scared."
Huang Taiji was in a good mood, so he pulled him up and said, "You have done a great job in helping me find two forgers at once. When the cannon is completed, it will be easy for me to capture the Ming Dynasty city. With this good thing, I
What’s the harm in helping you!”
When Fan Wencheng heard what Huang Taiji said, he pretended to be frightened and stood up.
"Where are those two forgers? I want to see them myself." Huang Taiji asked a little eagerly as soon as Fan Wencheng stood up.
When Fan Wencheng heard this, he quickly said: "Go back to the master and wait outside."
"No, please go and bring them in personally." After Huang Taiji finished the order, he walked back to his seat and sat down, waiting to see the caster he had been looking for for a long time.
After a while, I saw Fan Wencheng ushering two people into the palace. One was thin and the other was thin. At first glance, it was clear that he was not a pampered person.
Fan Wencheng must have taught him beforehand. As soon as they entered the palace, the two men knelt on the ground, and their voices sounded a little uncomfortably: "This slave deserves death. I failed to abandon the secret and surrender to the light early. I still ask the master to punish me."
Huang Taiji smiled and said in a kind tone: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Although you are a little late, you can finally contribute to my big gold. I am also happy. Get up."
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness." The two kowtowed again, and then stood up. But they still lowered their heads, and their hands were hanging on the sides of their trouser legs for a while, and then they wanted to put them behind their backs, looking a little nervous.
"Are you afraid of me? Do you think I am cruel?" Huang Taiji saw the expressions and movements of the two of them, and still asked kindly.
When the two people heard this, they quickly raised their heads, waved their hands and said, "No, no."
"You have heard clearly, my cruelty is only against those who are not convinced by Dai Jin and are enemies of Dai Jin. As for you, you can rest assured that you are working for Dai Jin now. Glory and wealth will be just around the corner. As long as you serve well.
Dai Jin worked hard and forged the Red Barbarian cannon for me, and it is not impossible for him to become a prince, do you understand?"
When Huang Taiji said this, he emphasized both majesty and kindness. He made the two casters frightened for a while, and felt like a breath of fresh air the next.
As soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, the two of them could no longer stand, and knelt down again to express their stance: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely forge the Hongyi cannon."
"Okay, I will first reward each of you with a house, 100 acres of fertile land, and ten men and women each. When the Hongyi cannon is built, I will reward you tenfold."
Huang Taiji made a big move at once, which greatly surprised the two people who were slaves before. They didn't expect the slave chief to be so generous, and they couldn't help but kowtow.
"It's August now. I've allocated all the cannon-making needs for you. Can you make me a Hongyi cannon before the autumn grain harvest?" Huang Taiji gave him a candy and then made a request.
When the two casters heard this, they looked at each other and looked a little embarrassed. At this time, they heard Fan Wencheng next to them cough lightly.
"Master, I'll try my best. As long as it's always sunny, there should be no problem." The thinner man, Wang Tianxiang, who was more courageous, said.
"Okay!" Huang Taiji praised, and then said to Fan Wencheng: "Fan Qing, hurry up and arrange all relevant matters so that they can start work as soon as possible."
"Slave, I obey!" Fan Wencheng immediately responded.
Seeing Fan Wencheng leading the two forgers out of the palace, Huang Taiji couldn't help but start to imagine that if he suddenly appeared at Shanhaiguan with a red cannon and launched an overwhelming bombardment, he might not be able to capture Shanhaiguan.
If this is the case, Daijin will have a strategic advantage over the Ming Dynasty. It can advance and attack, retreat and defend. The initiative will be completely in the hands of Daijin. If Daijin controls Shanhaiguan, it will no longer be a local force that favors Liaodong.
, but there is an overlord who wants to dominate the world.
Even if Shanhaiguan cannot be captured, it should be no problem to capture Ningyuan and Jinzhou, because these two cities hang alone outside Shanhaiguan and can be completely surrounded.
After thinking about it, Huang Taiji felt that Daikin's future was very brilliant, and he couldn't help but laugh again.
On the same day, in a side room of Fan Wencheng's house, Wang Tianxiang, Tang Daxuan and Gu Mancang were silent to each other.
After a while, Wang Tianxiang said: "The Great Khan has promised me ten male and female servants. As long as you are willing to follow me, I will go and tell the Great Khan. There should be no problem."
Tang Daxuan and Gu Mancang didn't speak, they just lowered their heads and looked at the ground.
As soon as Wang Tianxiang saw it, he continued to persuade: "You can choose a wife from among my women's clothes, and I will give you the one you like. No matter what, we are all brothers. It is better to follow me than to risk returning to the Ming Dynasty without telling anyone."
Can you escape back to the Ming Dynasty? They are like a bear who loses battles one after another. Even if you escape back, so what, you might still suffer military disasters, and no one can protect you..."
