Time flies by unknowingly, and it is September in a blink of an eye, and it will be the time of harvest.
Huang Taiji thought that the pre-planned war was about to begin, but the news that the Hongyi cannon had not been released yet, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
According to what the caster said, as long as the weather is clear, the casting of the Hongyi cannon can be completed before the autumn harvest. Therefore, Huang Taiji paid attention to the weather every day. He clearly remembered that there had not been a trace of rain in the past two months.
All sunny weather.
As for raw materials, there should be no problem. The first batch of iron materials collected by Mang Gurtai from North Korea had been shipped before, and even the North Korean civilians who had planned to collect them in advance had already set off to Liaodong.
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind! Thinking of this, Huang Taiji was secretly a little angry. Don't think that the two forgers deliberately said it could be completed because they were afraid of themselves!
Huang Taiji felt it was necessary to inspect it personally. Just when he was about to order the founding camp, Dorgon's messenger arrived.
After listening to the messenger's report, he frowned. This series of actions by Ning Jinming's army that were different from the previous ones all demonstrated the ability of Yuan Keli, the governor of Liaodong. Huang Taiji secretly cursed "Old man Yuan!" and then ordered a convening.
Imperial meeting.
When everyone arrived, Huang Taiji explained the situation, but no one spoke, waiting for him to make a decision.
Seeing this situation, Huang Taiji had no choice but to say: "I underestimated that old man Yuan a little before! Based on this, I decided to adjust some of my previous strategies, brother."
When Daishan heard this, he stood up and said, "Please give me the Khan's orders."
"In order to ensure that the war goes smoothly, I will send half of the red flags to the front line of Ningjin. Of course, if there are no special circumstances, I will only use the yellow flags as a deterrent. How about that?" Huang Taiji looked at Dai Shan and asked.
Although his words seemed to be asking for Daishan's consent, Qiankun's arbitrary behavior in the past few months had made him less sincere.
However, Huang Taiji's reasons were reasonable, and Daishan could not refuse. Since he surrendered to Huang Taiji, he has become very low-key, and he follows Huang Taiji's lead in everything. He immediately replied: "In this case, the Khan might as well bring more
Send troops and horses over, there is no need for so many people to stay in the hinterland of Dajin."
Huang Taiji remembered Fan Wencheng's previous reminder, weighed it, and then said: "The abnormality of the Ming army makes me think that a big battle on the front line is inevitable. In order to reduce my losses to Dajin, I still need an advantage in military strength.
Since big brother says so, let’s do it!”
Daishan nodded and sat back.
Huang Taiji turned to look at his son Hauge and ordered him: "You stay in Shengjing, select available young men from each banner, and assist your elder brother in protecting the rear."
Before Hauge could agree, he looked at the others and said, "This is only a temporary measure. When my army returns in triumph, the young soldiers will return to their respective banners. How about that?"
Huang Taiji's little thoughts cannot be hidden from a few Heshuo Baylor. He kills two birds with one stone. It can not only enhance the strength of the rear, but also cultivate the power of his son Hauge. Those young heroes selected will probably become Hauge's people in the future.
, virtually controlling each flag.
Without Mang Gurtai as a thorn in the side, and without Daishan taking the lead, the other Belles in the Chongzheng Hall did not dare to object, so they acquiesced to this move.
Huang Taiji was very satisfied and immediately said: "In this case, each banner will go back and prepare. Duduo will set off tomorrow and join Dorgon to put pressure on the Ning Jinming army and spy on the military situation. The other banners will set off with me in three days.
Take down Daling River City."
He couldn't wait for the Hongyi cannon to be completed, and planned to go to Ningjin first. This time he had to fight that old man Yuan head-on to see if he had any tricks up his sleeve.
What Huang Taiji didn't expect was that at noon the next day, Fan Wencheng, the deputy commander of Wuchao Hazhen and in charge of firearms casting, excitedly came to report that the Hongyi cannon had been cast, and it was only for Huang Taiji to come to inspect the cannon in person.
When Huang Taiji heard the news, he was as happy as eating that shaved ice in the summer weather. He didn't expect that the Hongyi cannon would be cast when it was most needed. It was really a blessing from God. It seems that this war will be inevitable.
Undoubted victory.
However, what made him a little regretful was that a total of ten Hongyi cannons were cast, and three of them exploded during the test.
Of course Wang Tianxiang and Dou Shouzi tried their best to cast the cannons, and Fan Wencheng, who was in charge, would not skimp on raw materials. However, because they used the clay mold casting method and because they did not understand how to load gunpowder, they all loaded the cannons.
, so the explosion is inevitable.
No matter what, there were seven Hongyi cannons available, which made Huang Taiji extremely happy.
He asked Tong Yangxing to lead the large gold firearms force, and Wu Chaoha went out with the army. Fan Wencheng also rewarded him with gold, silver, jewelry and some coats, and promoted him to the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. In this way, Fan Wencheng
Cheng's status has actually surpassed that of the great traitor Tong Yangxing, becoming the number one traitor of the great Jin Dynasty.
In addition, Huang Taiji did not miss the mark when it came to Wang Tianxiang and Dou Shou, and doubled the promised rewards to them, and asked them to continue to stay in Shengjing to forge as many cannons as they could.
On the third day, the army set off. Daishan, Hauge, Fan Wencheng and others who stayed behind escorted Huang Taiji to the outskirts of Shengjing.
After some impassioned talk, Huang Taiji ordered the departure. Before leaving, he said to Daishan: "My son is stupid and stayed in Shengjing, so I asked my eldest brother to take care of him. If you have anything to say, tell me directly. When it's time to give me a lesson,
Just discipline him and discipline him as his own son."
Hauge heard it very harshly, but with Huang Taiji around, he didn't dare to say anything. On the contrary, Daishanhui was a good man and praised Hauge repeatedly for his bravery and excellence. He is my Batu Lu of Daikin. This made Hauge listen.
I felt a little better, and I thought it would be better to be kind and understand me.
After Huang Taiji finished his instructions, he no longer delayed and led the army away. Hauge watched his father Khan disappear at the end of the road, his humble expression immediately changed, and he immediately said to Daishan: "My nephew, go ahead and train me."
He’s a rich man.”
After saying that, without waiting for Daishan's expression, he got on his horse and drove away with his bodyguard.
He was confident in his ability, but his father was too powerful and had been under the shadow of Huang Taiji for a long time, and he was not allowed to use his own ability. Now that Huang Taiji left, he felt relieved. He secretly vowed to kill those young men.
Train yourself into an invincible army and show it to your father.
Seeing this scene, Fan Wencheng didn't dare to say anything. He said goodbye to Daishan and returned to his official office.
Along the way, without the master Nuzhen by his side, his master's majesty was revealed again.
This habit originated from after his wife was snatched away by Duduo and his close family members were killed. Fan Wencheng would often express himself, just like this time, and like before, he also showed off his talents to his two confidants on how to get the Khan.
Appreciation, etc.
Tang Daxuan and Gu Mancang, on the other hand, continued to flatter Fan Wencheng, which made him feel particularly satisfied and talked more.
