"I also know that I can't take it lightly, but what can I do?"
Dorgon sighed and was no longer angry with Obai.
Obai was defeated, so he deserved to be beaten and killed! But the problem is that if he is killed, who else will be the first Cossack in the Qing Dynasty? To be honest, if Obai beat up the Cossack easily, Dorgon might find a crime to kill Obai - this Obai had ulterior motives and sent fire cannons to the palace... .This is to encourage the little emperor to rebel!
Fortunately, the little emperor was now disgusted with Xiwen and did not like playing with firecrackers, so he asked Sony to hand over these firecrackers to the Gushan'e Zhenyamen in Lianghuang Banner. Dorgon felt relieved about the little emperor, but he still hated Obai. If he hadn't been unable to find a better candidate than Obai, would Dorgon have allowed him to survive?
"Brother Fourteen," Duduo said, "Isn't that why I'm here? I brought the apology document for that bastard Oboi. It also summarized the reasons why he lost the battle and gave some solutions."
"Really? What can he do?"
Dorgon said in his heart: If Obai's method doesn't work, then kill him!
Duduo said: "Obai's method is to use your senior brother's skills to treat your brother!"
"Brother? What do you mean?" Dorgon didn't understand, "You're still my junior brother!"
"It's just to learn from the Cossacks...learn the Cossacks' skills, and then use them to deal with the Cossacks."
After all, Ao Bai was the best among the children of the Second Eight Banners, and his thinking was completely different from that of his confused descendants two hundred years later. And he really knows how to fight. He became a high official by fighting, unlike those who later came to power by flattering their ancestors.
So after being beaten up by the Cossacks, Obai knew what was wrong!
"Tell me, how does he want to learn?" Dorgon asked.
"He wanted to learn other people's methods of mounted warfare," Dodo said. "The Cossacks did not ride and shoot, nor did they shoot guns on horseback. They directly charged with their guns, and then slashed with their sabers."
Previously, Obai was fooled by the Western European cavalry's pistol riding and shooting tactics! This tactic is not very popular in Europe today. The most popular method of European cavalry is to attack in formation with guns. The Poles and Swedes all play this way.
Bruce, who taught Obai how to use musketry and horseback shooting, was a Dutch army officer. The Dutch Army relies on infantry and artillery to conquer the world. The cavalry is not very good and basically follows the European trend.
"What to do with the horse?" Dorgon asked, "How can we charge without a good horse?"
China's horse breeds have been declining since the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the three major horse breeds of Hequ, Yili and Mongolia, which were semi-natural and semi-herd, were basically on the market. The Mongolian horses currently equipped in large numbers by the Qing army have poor explosive power, and their short-distance sprinting ability is much worse than that of the Cossack Don horses. Sprinting on horseback relies on people borrowing horse power. If the horse runs slowly, the impact force will be weak.
"We can ask the Heshuo Special Department to pay tribute to Ili horses!" Duduo said, "Ili horses are good at short-distance sprints... In addition, they can also lose weight!"
"Losing weight?" Dorgon frowned, "No armor?"
Duduo said: "Obai means that he doesn't wear armor or carry a bow and arrow. It's enough to bring a blunderbuss, a waist knife and a carbine."
This is a rather radical reform, but absolutely necessary!
The Qing army did not have light plate armor, so they could only wear heavy cotton armor and chain armor. If they wore two or three layers of armor, it would weigh dozens of kilograms. Plus a bow and two bags of arrows, six or seven Ten pounds can be added!
Horses are already weak. If the person on the horse adds another 60 pounds, the man who weighs 150 pounds will weigh 210 pounds. How can he still charge?
"Don't choose big men," Duduo added, "A man weighing 120 to 30 pounds is enough... In addition to charging on horseback and slashing with sabers, you also need to learn how to use blunderbuss skillfully and mount a horse to sprint. , get off your horse and shoot!"
"That's it, let me think about it," Dorgon thought for a while, "How about giving it a try first! Practice with 2,000, no, 1,000 people first! People will start from..."
"Soldiers can be recruited from the Barhu people and Daur people!" Duduo said, "Officers can be selected from the Nine Banners outside the Pass. The problem is horses... At least 3,000 Ili horses are needed, including 1,000 war horses. 200 horses and 1,800 mares.”
"Just spend the money!" Dorgon took a breath, "Just give 10,000 pieces of cloth! If you give the cloth, they will definitely give up the good horses!"
Duduo added: "Obai also hopes to arm the Sauron tribes in Heilongjiang and Jingqili River with fire blunderbuss."
The so-called "Saulun" refers to the collective name of the Daur, Ewenki, Oroqen and Barhu people along the Heilongjiang River and in the outer northeast. The Qing rulers' policy towards these tribes was to both utilize and guard against them. On the one hand, they recruited warriors from the Sauron people to join the Eight Banners and serve as cannon fodder; on the other hand, they controlled the flow of weapons and equipment into these border tribes.
So these tribes don't have any good guys in their hands. When they encounter Cossacks equipped with muskets and cannons, they can only wait to die!
Historically, when the Cossacks came over, the Qing court's method was to allow these tribes to move inland. In fact, they abandoned the vast land in the outer northeast and some people were unwilling to migrate to Sauron.
This approach is actually the same as the shrinking of edges in the Ming Dynasty!
It’s just that the Qing Dynasty had better luck than the Ming Dynasty. The Russians’ headquarters was in Europe, which was too far away from the Far East, so it wasn’t until the beginning of the 20th century that they had the energy to fully occupy the Northeast. As a result, it annoyed the United Kingdom and Japan, triggering the Russo-Japanese War.... ..
But now Dorgon has nowhere to shrink!
Zhu Cixiang is setting up a cannon behind him! God knows how long the Qing Dynasty's territory in the Central Plains can last? If you can't keep your hometown outside the Guan, I'm afraid your entire family will be destroyed in the future.
Dorgon thought for a while and said, "Then organize the Sauron people into ten banners, and each banner will set up a Sauron solid mountain outside the pass."
While Dorgon and Duoduo were talking, suddenly a eunuch from Chonghua Palace came to report that Fan Wencheng's son Fan Chengmo wanted to see him.
"Come and see him!" Dorgon said to Duoduo, "It's probably that the shipbuilding matter has come to an end."
During this period, Fan Wencheng served as an imperial envoy in North Korea, responsible for building warships for the Heilongjiang Navy, and at the same time establishing a green-flag-affiliated craftsman group - North Korea had to pay for this, which was a huge burden!
Koreans today are working much harder than in history! The Qing Dynasty's investment in developing the Northeast in recent years was all financed from Korea, and every year it provided a large amount of grain, cattle, cloth, and cotton-padded clothes to the Shengjing General's Mansion. Now Fan Wencheng is asking for boats, muskets, and craftsmen... The king of North Korea, Li Jian, sheds tears every day and no longer wants to repair the house. This is not tragic. The worst thing is that the pro-Ming faction in North Korea saw that the Ming Dynasty was about to resurrect. They all became excited and jumped up and down, inciting Li Jian to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. But how could Li Zhu dare to oppose Duo Amma? He had no choice but to desperately suppress the pro-Ming faction, and even went so far as to poison his son (the crown prince) and exile his grandson.
However, Li Zhu’s newly established heir apparent, Fenglin Maharaja Li Hao, was also pro-Ming. Historically, the Korean Kingdom began to use stems and branches to record the year of the king and the king’s reign. It was more than 200 years since Chongzhen, and he was the only one in the private writings of the Korean state. Yes, the king would not dare!
Of course, the attitude of Li Hao and the pro-Ming faction in the country could not escape the eyes and ears of Fan Wencheng, the imperial envoy of the superior state. However, Fan Chengmo came to the palace today not to report for Fan Wencheng, but to announce the good news to Dorgon!
Another Western Yi is coming to help the Qing Dynasty train its troops and run its Western affairs... This is the envoy from the country of Spain (Spain) who has returned! They also gave the Qing Dynasty 100 new flintlock foreign guns "Made in Barcelona, the Kingdom of Japan", and gold "Made in the Milan Domain of the Kingdom of Japan" to the Emperor, the Regent of the Qing Dynasty. A collar of armor.
In short, they are all good things!
In addition, shipbuilding has also begun to take shape. However, instead of ordering a prototype ship from the shipyards along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, I found a rotting turtle ship from the North Korean Navy shipyard. It was called a "turtle ship". It is said that it was invulnerable to guns and artillery and was extremely powerful. It was once used in Wanli. During this period, the Japanese pirate navy was severely damaged.
