Chapter 237 Funny Haug

Huang Taiji made a flat gesture to Kong Youde and said:

"King Gongshun, since your firearms are so powerful, I plan to expand the Eight Banners Han Army from the original two banners to eight banners, mainly equipped with firearms. What do you think?"

Huang Taiji's seemingly indifferent words were no less than the explosion of a nuclear bomb to the Jiannu generals.

The generals of the Eight Banners of Jiannu were stunned, especially the Manchu ministers, who all looked at their emperor in disbelief.

Everyone knows how powerful firearms are, so if these Minggu people who have taken refuge have mastered a deadly weapon, what if they turn against the enemy and are punished?

After reacting, Ebilong, Sony, Obai, Mandahai, Manggurtai, etc. all stood up to oppose unanimously.

When Huang Taiji saw that almost all the main ministers of the Qing Dynasty were opposed, he immediately gave up his decision.

This time the 100,000-strong army that entered the customs was wiped out. He had a big responsibility. Azig should not have been allowed to be the commander at all.

In order to consume the strength of the two white flags, he was playing with fire.

Once Dorgon unites everyone to use this as an excuse to step down.

Huang Taiji really didn't know how to deal with it. After all, the two yellow flags under his command were not the strongest at the moment.

So Huang Taiji hurriedly changed his words:

"In order to deal with the Ming Dynasty, firearms must be practiced. Since you don't want the Han army to practice, how about practicing firearms in your respective flags?"

Huang Taiji would never have thought that his words would directly stir up a hornet's nest.

This time even Prince Li Daishan couldn't stand it any longer. He held up his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, riding and archery are the foundation of our Qing Dynasty. We Manchus have been practicing bows and arrows since childhood. This ancestral method is absolutely immutable!"

Daishan was the second son of Nurhaci. After his elder brother Chu Ying was killed by several younger brothers, he was established as the prince.

Later, because of rumors that he had an affair with the old Khan's concubine Abahai (Dorgon's biological mother), the old Khan deposed him as the crown prince.

However, he is still in charge of Zhenghongqi, and his eldest son Yuetuo is in charge of Xianghongqi.

The father and son were still a huge force in the Jiannu Dynasty, and it was only with the support of Daishan that Huang Taiji succeeded in his rise to power.

After Huang Taiji's death, Daishan supported Haoge again. Dorgon did not want to fight among the slaves to the death, so he chose Xiao Fulin to succeed him.

Daishan was ten years older than Huang Taiji. Because he was older and more respected, he assumed the position of clan leader, which was considered to be a high-ranking position.

Seeing that Daishan had spoken, other Eight Banners ministers also expressed their opposition to letting the Eight Banners soldiers learn to use firearms.

Before Dorgon Duduo could say anything, Prince Su Hauge, a stupid young man, actually jumped out to object:

"Huang Ama, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were mainly about cavalry and archery. Why did they develop firearms? Those musketeers in Minggou can't stop the charge of the Eight Banners. Once they all use firearms, what's the point of reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms..."

Hauge's bizarre reason for objecting to Manchuria's Eight Banners practicing firearms made both Daishan and Dorgon laugh.

Not to mention, Haug's words played into Dodo's hands. For the first time, Dodo felt that his nephew's words were in his taste.

He secretly gave this nephew, who had always been at odds with him, a big thumbs up.

Kong Youde was told by the slave-building nobles that he kept his head down and said nothing, and he did not dare to say a big word.

Kong Youde was able to become king, and the capital he relied on was the firearms army in his hands.

It was the only qualified artillery unit in the Ming Dynasty at that time, with a large number of well-trained gunners.

Not only does it have Western teachings, but the precise ranging used is also a secret method that ordinary artillerymen are not qualified to learn.

Because of Kong Youde's existence, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had the ability to build its own Hongyi cannons, and began to slowly surpass the Ming Dynasty in the number of cannons.

In the historical Battle of Songjin, the number of artillery pieces of the Qing army exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty.

Kong Youde's firearms unit not only had numerous artillery pieces and excellent gunners, but also all the muskets were sophisticated, and there was no danger of their chambers exploding.

These are all fine firearms that Sun Yuanhua spent a lot of money to make.

If he knew that this weakling was carrying artillery and craftsmen to surrender, Old Sun would definitely jump out of the coffin.

Kong Youde was originally a miner in Tieling and could not read a single word. He first followed Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Pi Island.

After Mao Wenlong was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan, he took refuge with Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, who was the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Firearms Force at the time.

How did Kong Youde know that although his Wuzhenchaoha firearms unit was strong, it was only good at artillery.

As for fire cannons, even the two thousand ignited Lumi cannons of the Jinzhou City Ming Army could hit farther than them.

After so many years, the fire gun that Sun Yuanhua spent so much money to build has become outdated.

In other words, artillery has little impact and can still be used, but it can no longer compete with Zhu Cixi's improved gunpowder artillery.

The other two big traitors, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, almost lowered their heads to their crotches.

Their proud muskets were also looked down upon by their masters.

Because the slaves were all rough and uneducated, Huang Taiji actually liked a few big traitors.

Seeing that the Jiannu leaders headed by Daishan were opposed to him allowing the Eight Banners and the Han Army to practice firearms on a large scale, he was also in a dilemma for a while.

When he looked at Fan Wenchen, another super traitor, Huang Taiji's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Fan Qing, please tell me your opinion!"

Since the beginning of this year, Ning Wanwo, who is also known as the "Two Traitors" and himself, has offended the Manchurian dignitaries and has been stripped of his position and sent home to grow vegetables.

Fan Wencheng became the only little think tank among the Manchu and Han officials, and he became more low-key.

He originally didn't want to get involved in something that would offend his master, but Huang Taiji wanted to ask his opinion.

Fan Wencheng knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted:

"My Emperor is wise, the development of firearms is the general trend..."

Just as Fan Wenchen said a few words, he suddenly felt two dagger-like eyes coming from behind him. It was Prince Yu Duoduo!

So this big traitor immediately changed what he wanted to say:

Your Majesty, I think this slave can just let three banners and two banners of the Han army practice firearms. The manufacturing of firearms is very expensive, and mass production will only increase the burden on our Qing Dynasty."

Under the stern gaze of Prince Duduo of Yu, Fan Wencheng did not dare to mention the Manchu Eight Banners' firearms training.

He knew that it was a thunder, and if it stepped on the thunder, Duduo would be the first to kill him.

He knew that the slave masters wanted to expand the Han army under the Eight Banners and train the firearms army.

So it was suggested that three of the eight banners of the Han army should be equipped with firearms, that is, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming.

Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction. He felt that this dog was really not in vain.

Duduo also secretly gave Fan Wenchen a thumbs up, knowing that he would train his concubine for this slave tonight.

Fan Wenchen, the other founding slave capital, was also very satisfied with the suggestions. Educated slaves are good.

Seeing that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very satisfied with Fan Wenchen's suggestion, Huang Taiji immediately sent an order to expand the Eight Banners Han Army.

The original two banners were expanded to eight banners, and the organization was the same as the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

But there is no flag master, and each banner only has the post of Gushan Ezhen. Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming served as Gushan Ezhen of the eight banners of the Han Dynasty. I like the Ming Dynasty. In the prosperous period, the prince began to supervise the country. Please collect it: (www.sodu777
