Huang Taiji stepped forward and gave him a weak hand, saying: "Everyone, please get back on your feet."
Several hundred Han generals stood up, but they still did not dare to stand up straight and still bent down to bow to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji looked at the two Han generals and said: "Two Gushan Ezhen, how are the newly selected Han soldiers training?"
The two Han banners Gu Shanzhen looked at each other, then Ma Guangyuan walked up and said: "Your Majesty, it was agreed that the newly arrived Han people with two yellow flags and two red flags would draw one dice for every ten people, and a total of 23,370 were drawn.
Twelve people. These soldiers entered the camp last month and practiced once every two days. Now they have practiced sixteen times. Although I dare not say that they are ready for battle, the formation is now considered to be in good order. "
Huang Taiji touched the two beards on his lips and asked: "How is the fire gun made?"
Ma Guangyuan raised his hands and said: "According to the emperor's wishes, we have found 317 original Ming army craftsmen's households in the flag, with 1,894 craftsmen, including 160 craftsmen who can make firecrackers.
Five people. We asked these craftsmen who are good at making bird guns to teach other craftsmen to start making guns. Now we have made 107 fire guns. It is estimated that in less than a year and a half, 23,000 Han banner soldiers and horses can be used to make them.
Equip with firecrackers."
This time Huang Taiji sent troops to plunder the pass, but fell into the hands of Li Zhi's cannons. Since the Manchus' cavalry and archery could not withstand Li Zhi's fire cannons, they had no choice but to organize Han flag fire cannons. The emperor
After Taiji returned to Shenyang, he immediately organized the Han Army Banner to make firecrackers and Hongyi cannons, trying to use firearms against firearms to suppress Li Zhi.
At this time, hearing that Ma Guangyuan had made a fire gun, Huang Taiji nodded and said: "Okay, let's demonstrate the newly made fire gun on the school field!"
Ma Guangyuan and Wang Shixuan shouted the order and led Huang Taiji and others to the school grounds.
When they arrived at the school field, a hundred fire gun players were already standing there holding fire guns, pointing at a hundred wooden targets at the end of the school field. Seeing Huang Taiji coming, the fire gun players all knelt down and shouted long live.
Ma Guangyuan rushed forward in person and shouted to take position, and the one hundred matchlock gunners got up and stood at the shooting position with their muskets. Ma Guangyuan shouted "Charge!" again, and the Han soldiers filled the medicine pots from their waists.
Dig out a spoonful of black powder and load it into the chamber.
When all the gunmen were loaded with explosives, Ma Guangyuan shouted, "Fire!"
One hundred muskets were fired one after another, spraying out pieces of white mist and making sawdust fly from the wooden target seventy steps away.
Seeing the power of the volley of fire cannons, the belles following Huang Taiji started talking among themselves. During the Nurhaci era, the Manchus massacred the Han people in the Northeast, and everyone had blood on their hands. Obviously, the belles were attacking the Han people.
I am very wary and do not want the Han people to have such strong weapons.
Dorgon's brother Duduo couldn't help but jumped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I don't think it's possible to let the Han people use firecrackers!"
Huang Taiji glanced at Duduo, but said nothing. Instead, he turned to Ma Guangyuan and asked: "Gushan Ezhen, won't your fire blunderbuss be used to blast the hole?"
Ma Guangyuan was a little nervous at Duduo's words, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. He respectfully replied: "Go back to the emperor, I have given you enough materials for these craftsmen, and the name of the craftsman is engraved on the gun. If it is used for blasting and boring, it will be cut."
The craftsman's head, the craftsman dare not not make the gun carefully, there is no risk of exploding the fire gun."
"How many steps can you take with this fire gun?"
"Back to the emperor, some can hit sixty steps, and some can hit seventy steps!"
Huang Taiji looked at Dorgon and said, "How far can Li Zhi's fire blunderbuss hit?"
Dorgon came out, bowed and replied: "Li Zhi's fire gun can hit one hundred and forty steps!"
Huang Taiji touched his beard and said nothing.
Dorgon added: "But Li Zhi's fire blunderbuss can only break through the double-layer armor at eighty steps. If the fire blunderbussman rushes forward wearing two layers of armor, Li Zhi's fire blunderbuss cannot penetrate, but our soldiers can rush forward."
Go up to the seventy paces and shoot with Li Zhi."
Huang Taiji's eyes lit up when he heard this and he laughed.
He looked at Dorgon and said, "Mergen Dai Qing, I think your method will work!"
Dorgon thought for a while, but for some reason he still felt a little depressed, so he bowed and retreated.
Just as Huang Taiji was about to speak, Dorgon's brother Azig, Nurhachi's twelfth son, jumped out again and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is impossible to equip Han people with heavy armor and fire guns! These Han people were just captured this year.
, how can you equip them with such elite equipment?"
Jierharang, the leader of the Xianglan Banner, also jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, this is really impossible!"
Huang Taiji frowned, with an unhappy look on his face.
When Ma Guangyuan heard that Zhu Beile was so wary of the Han people, his legs became weak, and he knelt down again with the Han banner generals behind him, prostrate on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Huang Taiji took a breath, looked at the indignant Belles, and thought about it.
When Huang Taiji ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he relied on the support of the Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner and Zhenglan Banner. After Yangguli's defeat in Fanjiazhuang, Huang Taiji's Zhenghuang Banner was crippled, and his status within the Manchu Qing Dynasty
It was not strong enough. It was Huang Taiji's policy to enter the Pass and plunder. This time he entered the Pass and suffered heavy losses. Although Dorgon was punished, Huang Taiji's prestige was also greatly reduced as a result.
Now, these Baylors were on the opposite side of the issue of arming the Han people, and Huang Taiji had to consider the opinions of these brothers and nephews.
After thinking for a long time, Huang Taiji slowly said: "Ma Guangyuan, Wang Shixuan, the two yellow flags and the two red flags of the Han people are newly attached, and the Baylors are not worried. The fire gun you made is equipped with two white Han flags, two blue flags and two old Han flags.
Wait until the two white and two blue flag soldiers are fully equipped, then equip your newly attached Han people."
Ma Guangyuan and Wang Shixuan knelt on the ground and shouted: "I understand!"
####
On June 25, Li Zhi's first ship was built.
Li Zhi named the first ship Xinxing.
Boss Wang used smooth fir wood as guide rails and led more than two hundred shipwrights to push the ship and push the Nova to the shore bit by bit. The Nova moved along the guide rails little by little toward the coast, and finally "boomed"
"With a sound, it fell into the deep water on the shore, splashing huge waves, and calmed down after shaking a few times.
Seeing this scene, the entire Wangjiawan people cheered.
The boatmen swam onto the boat and used long oars to row the Nova to the small dock in Wangjiawan. Li Zhi climbed onto the boat with the troops supported by Cha Yunke and a hundred sailors.
The sailors Li Zhi brought on board this time were veterans who could swim and were selected from the sailor group. There is no king's law on the sea. When encountering other ships, they may rob each other at any time, depending on who has stronger force. Zheng Zhilong dominates the East Asian seas.
Even though they were pirates, the Dutch also robbed ships whenever they saw them. They were all naked pirates.
