Chapter 269 Kangxi is engaged in Western Affairs

Thousands of miles away from the battlefield in Hunan, the grasslands outside the border were fat and the horses were strong, and Kangxi, who rode his horse slowly, seemed extremely happy. It seemed that the great defeat in Hunan did not even affect his hunting mood.

"I am here, thousands of miles away, wandering around and watching the storm of the South."

He sang softly, then strangled the horse's head and nodded to the guard next to him.

The rumbling sound came like a tide, and a variegated gushing from far to near like clouds.

After a moment, the mottled tide was about to come to the horse. When you look closely, you found that there were all kinds of animals, deer, fox, and rabbits, thousands.

A group of guards more than ten feet away in front were lined up, beating gongs and drums, and rushing the beast tide from Kangxi's horse head.

Damn! No wonder Kangxi was 66 years old, and he dared to say proudly: "Since I was young, I have captured 153 tigers, 12 bears, 25 leopards, 20 lynnies, 14 elks, 96 wolves, 133 wild boars, hundreds of deer caught by the whistle, and the rest of the yard are randomly shot and captured by beasts. I have shot 318 rabbits in one day, and even ordinary people can't match the number of this day after the whole life."

It turns out that this is how he hunts. How could he kill 300 rabbits a day with his own?

"emperor……"

A guard knelt down on the side of the horse, holding up a thick and short weapon with both hands, a heavy barrel and a thick and extended stock, which was a bit similar to the flintlock rifle of the Ming Guards, but it was not that delicate.

The Minister of War, Ha Zhan, was still a little worried. He always felt that time was not on the Qing Dynasty. "Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty has changed its new weapons and practiced new tactics. It will not be possible for three or five months. The people in the south are now in a state of turmoil. It is time to continue to rush forward, otherwise the south will not be protected!"

Kangxi's trip to the frontier this time was called Qiushou, but it was actually an exercise. The exercise was not Manchurian riding and shooting, but actual firearm combat.

"Leer Jin presented the battle report of Yizhang, and mentioned two key points. In addition to artillery, the Ming Yao relied on this air-based musket and the thunder. The combination of far and near is very invincible!"

"I am not worried about the matter in Hunan at all. But you all secretly clamored, saying that I am afraid of the wise demon. What I see now, have you been determined to wait?"

Kangxi's tone was cold and harsh: "This is a battle of the destiny of the Qing Dynasty! If you are not sure, you must not act rashly!"

Then, Kangxi shook his head: "This shocking thunder is a little hard to deal with, but there are not less than dozens of these muskets in my palace. Although they are not as exquisite as this musket, their power may not be inferior to it."

In the big tent of the Ming Yellow, sitting and listening to the roaring sounds from all sides, Kangxi retreated the eunuch who came to report the results of the battle, and looked around the princes and ministers in the tent.

It seems that the Battle of Yichang was really hurt by the Qing Dynasty, and Kangxi had to start comprehensively adjusting his equipment.

This gun is a rotary flintlock rifle. When firing, first use the key to fill the strings, then pull the trigger. The engine rotates rapidly, rubs against the flint to create fire, ignite the fire door medicine, and then ignite the gunpowder in the gun chamber, and shoot the projectile out.

"Okay, count carefully and record it in the internal file."

"The most important thing about conquering the world is two things, one is the heart of the people, and the other is the weapons. The demons invade the people's hearts and bewitching people's hearts will not exceed Guangdong, Hunan, southwest and other places. Now there are even more chaos, which is not to be afraid of, and weapons..."

"Forty-six deer, eighteen foxes, three hundred rabbits..."

Everyone was shocked, and the military system was really going to be undergoing major changes.

This is the Kangxi imperial fire No. 2 gun, which is a flintlock gun specially hunted for Kangxi. It has a diameter of 11 mm, a total length of 1355 mm, a tube length of 903 mm, a sightseeing point at the front of the barrel and a door at the rear, which is installed on a special-shaped butt stock.

Everyone was shocked. The new green camp army that was trained before was only 10,000, but now they are going to make a comprehensive reform of the green camp!

This is a big deal!

It is the most exquisitely produced flintlock rifle and the best performance in the early Qing Dynasty.

This is true. As a family friendship between the French royal family, Louis XIV's pen pal is normal to have a flintlock rifle, but the key is to be able to produce energy.

Everyone nodded. This was necessary. The troops in these places had nearly 400,000 people. Even if they only dispatched half of them, they would be enough to get rid of Ming Yao.

If the Green Camp in the world is able to obtain such firearms and tactics, it is probably to drive away the wolf in front and the tiger jumps out from behind.

"I used to think that although the air-launched muskets were strong, they could not defeat ten large Qing bird guns! I didn't expect that thousands of air-launched muskets would be so powerful. From today on, the Ministry of Works will make every effort to produce air-launched muskets. I don't believe it. The Qing Dynasty formed 100,000 air-launched musket soldiers, but it could not defeat the only Ming demon!"

With a clang, he threw the gun to the ground and said in a deep voice: "I am determined to open a firearms camp and train the yamen! Today I will discuss with you to clarify the details of the train the yamen!"

However, after Kangxi looked around, he limited this policy: "The army involved in the yamen, including the Beijing City, Xi'an, Jingzhou, Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Shaanxi and Gansu Banners and Green Camps, and other provincial governors are not allowed to change the military system without authorization, and violators will be punished with serious consequences!"

Kangxi changed the topic and talked about the second experience summarized by Leerjin. He raised a sharp iron stick with a buckle and a length of about two feet long and said: "Ming Yao's muskets also have such short blades. Once they enter hand-to-hand combat, they will turn into spears. Our court army has always been divided into lengths, distances and nears, but Ming Yao is one of the far and nears. Although our army is large in number, at most 30% of them can fight with him at the same time. How can we win?"

Kangxi waved his hand, and the eunuchs handed over the guards' flintlock rifle and grenade on his desk to everyone to read. When the two armies fought, it was not difficult to get the equipment of ordinary infantry of the Guards. This was brought back by Leer Jin from the battlefield of Yichang.

The rabbit terminator Kangxi reached out to take it, squinted his head, and his fingers pulled. With a bang, the gun flames scattered, and the smoke of gun rose. Large pieces of scarlet splashed from the group of beasts in the distance. Many rabbits were snorting and rolling out large pieces of dust on the ground.

The sound of gunfire was so dense that these princes and ministers were a little restless. When Kangxi said this, they nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"In addition, contact the Dutch and Franchise men and let them do their best to help the Qing Dynasty create a fire gun!" Kangxi said firmly!

"Yeah!"

This is the Kangxi version of the Westernization Movement. Zhao Liangdong is no longer in the Qing Dynasty, but the spirit of learning from the foreigners' strengths and using the Ming Dynasty to control the Ming Dynasty is in place!

By the way, Hu Sangui's fake "Dutch" fleet had "escape" to the north, and Kangxi personally met Julio and other "Dutch" people.

After all, they are the closest international friends of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty relies on them everywhere!

Not to mention anything else, just the Western Galen sailing fleet, the Qing Dynasty drooled!

In order to stabilize them, Kangxi still found a piece of land for Julio's fleet. Originally, Julio proposed to station in Tianjin, but Kangxi did not agree. How could foreign fleets be stationed in the capital?

In the end, Weihaiwei, who was placed in Shandong, was given to the "Dutch" fleet!

When Zhu Kezang learned the news, he was stunned: Isn’t this the territory of the Beiyang Fleet!
Chapter completed!
