On a mountain peak on the east side of Heisha Ridge, Du Du, the newly appointed owner of the Red Flag Flag, was standing behind a dirt platform and looking forward.

Standing next to him were the master of the Zhenghong Banner, the Zhenghong Banner, belonging to the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the master of the Yinghong Banner, the Gushan Ezhen Buyan Dai.

As a die-hard follower of Huang Taiji, they immediately led their troops to Shengjing to obey the order. Huang Taiji did not treat them badly. Not only did they reward them heavily, but they also married one of their daughters to Bu Yandai.

However, compared with the banners of at least 7,800 or even tens of thousands of people per Banner of the Manchu Eight Banner, the maximum number of people in the Mongolian Eight Banners cannot exceed 3,000 people. If you exceed this number, you will be punished as a crime. Therefore, the same Gushan Ezhen (the banner owner), the Mongolian Eight Banners are far inferior to the Manchu Eight Banners.

Seeing Du Du's solemn expression, Bu Yandai comforted: "Sir, don't worry too much. After our repairs for many days, Heisha Ridge has been dug up more than ten trenches. Those Ming troops will definitely not be able to attack. No matter how many artillery they have, it is useless. As long as our warriors hide in the trenches, those artillery can't hit us no matter how fierce the artillery is."

"You know what a fuck."

Du Du glared at Bu Yandai angrily, "If the Jiangning Army is so easy to deal with, Your Majesty will not send us to guard this Heisha Ridge."

Bu Yandai, who flattered the horse's legs, rubbed his nose awkwardly and stopped talking.

Engetu glanced at Bu Yandai gloatingly. Since he became Huang Taiji's prince, this guy began to swell up. He regarded himself as Huang Taiji's confidant everywhere. Engetu had long been unhappy with it. Now seeing him being scolded by Du Du, he couldn't help but feel indescribable pleasure in his heart.

Bu Yandai, who was robbed of white, was not angry. He smiled embarrassedly and continued: "Lord Du Du is too modest. This time, Your Majesty has handed you two thousand musket soldiers. This is enough to show Your Majesty's love for you. With these two thousand musket soldiers in hand, we no longer have to worry about the Ming army's muskets."

"Um……"

Hearing this, Du Du's face improved a lot.

As the saying goes, one's mistakes lead to wisdom. After suffering several great losses, even the most stubborn Manchus began to pay attention to firearms.

In the past year, Huang Taiji spent a lot of money to get more than a dozen brown bells smoothbore rifles from the Liaodong Army, and then summoned skilled craftsmen to study the brown bells smoothbore rifles.

After more than half a year of research, the Qing Dynasty finally copied this musket.

However, compared with later generations, the Qing Dynasty today is too backward in technology and technology.

The imitation of musket barrels are at least half thicker than those obtained by Yang Feng from modern society, and the weight is twice as heavy. That's fine. The most important thing is that they have no way to imitate the pelleted gunpowder used in Brown Bess muskets, and can only be replaced by traditional powdered black gunpowder. This has led to the imitation of muskets not only having a large weight, but also greatly reducing the range and power.

However, even so, being able to successfully make the musket is tantamount to a cardiac in the Qing Dynasty.

After trying his best to build four thousand muskets, Huang Taiji planned to imitate the Ming Dynasty to establish a Shenji camp, and the personnel selected the most elite children from the Eight Banners' children, and then he personally led them.

But what is surprising is that this order was opposed by many Qing generals and Beile, and their reasons for opposition were also very high-sounding.

The use and training of firearms is very simple. It only takes two or three months for an ordinary person to train. Almost all the Eight Banners children have been trained for more than ten years and are skilled in the archery and horse. It is a waste to let them use firearms.

Finally, the Beile ministers of the Qing Dynasty unanimously suggested that Tong Yangxing's Han army flag be the first pure firearm unit in the Qing Dynasty.

Most people will definitely be very surprised to see this. Manchus are not stupid, and they are not unaware of the advanced nature of firearms. Why did they hand over such a batch of advanced firearms to the Han Army Flag for equipment?

You should know that among the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Eight Banners had the highest status, followed by the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Han Army Banners had the worst status. How could such noble things be equipped with Han Army Banners first?

If you want to explain this question clearly, it would be a long story. Simply put, some generals of the Qing Dynasty, Beile, were unwilling to draw their own troops to strengthen Huang Taiji's power.

Especially the two brothers Dorgon and Duoduo, the Zhengbai and Inlaid Flags they controlled were very strong. They naturally did not want Huang Taiji to have excuses and opportunities to weaken themselves and others.

Of course, Huang Taiji understood everyone's thoughts, but over the past year, his physical condition became worse and worse, and the death of his eldest son Haoge, he no longer had the ambition to succeed him at the beginning. Instead, he considered how to hand over the throne under his butt to his son.

With this concern, Huang Taiji naturally did not want to turn against the Dorgon brothers at this time, and Tong Yangxing was also his hard-core slave, so the matter was settled.

Although Tong Yangxing had never fiddled with a firearm, he had never eaten pork and had seen a pig run. After half a year of training, this firearm battalion finally formed a army.

Huang Taiji also attached great importance to the Heisha Ridge blocking battle, hoping that Du Du could delay as much as possible and kill the Ming army in large quantities, so he allocated half of the firearm battalions to Du Du.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

At this moment, a melodious and loud horn sound came from a distance.

As the sound of the horn came, a team of cavalry in iron armor began to appear in everyone's sight.

The cavalry appeared one after another. They came about one mile away from Heisha Ridge before then stopped moving forward. Then the cavalry began to dismount and took off the horse's bridle that was wrapped around the horse's mouth, took out water and horse materials from the back of the pack horse behind them and began to feed the horse.

Seeing these Ming troops actually dared to feed the war horses under their noses, Du Du sneered: "The Ming army is very brave now. If it were the past, they wouldn't dare to do this."

Bu Yandai and the other two dared not take the conversation. No matter how they answered this topic, they would be wrong, so they would not be so embarrassed.

"Let me see which army this Ming army is."

Du Du took out a thousand-mile mirror from his waist and looked down at the mountain, and read it word by word: "General Ping Liao, the Ming Dynasty, the left governor, and the general Zhao Shujiao."

"It's actually Zhao Rushu!"

Du Du's face immediately changed slightly. He was familiar with the name Zhao Rujiao. Just over a year ago, this guy followed Yang Feng and fought a good battle with them in front of Shengjing City. This battle directly destroyed most of the Qing Dynasty's energy.
