"Report~! Your Majesty, there is someone outside the camp who claims to be a former soldier of the Ming Prince Guards and has come to seek refuge with me, the Qing Dynasty!"
"Oh? Announce it and I will personally receive it!"
Huang Taiji was very curious about Prince Man Ming's experience of studying in the fairy world, and his various actions after supervising the country were also incredible.
In particular, the newspaper was really unique. Huang Taiji couldn't put it down. He read the newspaper delivered to Shenyang by fast horse carefully every day.
Although the publication date has long passed, the news above is rare news. Not only does he want to be the saint, but also all civil and military officials want to read it.
In order to consolidate his rule, Huang Taiji also ordered people to follow the example of Man Ming's "Jingshi Daily" and founded "Qing Daily". The name should be louder than Man Ming's newspaper to outshine it.
All measures taken by Man Ming would be copied as long as they were beneficial to the Qing Dynasty, and some of the above scientific knowledge would also be sent to be studied.
However, the Qing Dynasty knew very little about some of the more abstract content, especially military aspects.
Due to Man Ming's tight security, the agents deployed in the capital were unable to report valuable intelligence.
If you want to know more deeply, you can only bribe or recruit relevant people who are very knowledgeable.
If someone comes to seek refuge like this one, it can quickly increase the Qing Dynasty's understanding of Man Ming's military secrets.
"You little man, Hao Qingbing, bow down to my emperor. Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
Before Hao Qingbing entered the tent, he was searched twice. Except for places that Bagala did not bother to explore in depth, even his hair bun was carefully checked for fear that there was a hidden weapon that could be used for assassination.
"Why did you come to join me in the Qing Dynasty?"
Huang Taiji did not let him get away without courtesy, but directly asked him the reason why he came to seek refuge here. Whether it is true or false, you will know by asking. If you pretend to surrender, you can drag him out and cut down the sacrificial flag.
"The villain previously joined Prince Man Ming's East Palace Guards, but was dismissed due to the captain's harsh demands during training. The villain has studied in the East Palace Guards for three months, and has a certain understanding of Prince Man Ming's military training methods. He realizes that it may be beneficial to the emperor. So I happily came to vote. If the emperor feels that what the villain says is not worth mentioning, I am willing to be a pawn and serve the emperor."
Hao Qingbing wanted to be an officer. At least he wouldn't have to charge into battle at any time like ordinary soldiers, and the treatment would be good. But the prerequisite is that what he knows is valuable to Huang Taiji, otherwise it will be equivalent to talking a lot of nonsense.
"Oh? Then you can tell me about the military training method of this barbarian prince. I am all ears. If what you say is reasonable, I will naturally reward you with some silver coins. I can also make you a cow record."
Huang Taiji did not say ugly things in front of others, which would dampen the other party's enthusiasm. At this time, you still have to make the other party feel that there is an opportunity.
"The East Palace Guards are organized according to divisions, brigades, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads. Each squad has ten people. Three squads are one platoon, three platoons are one company, and three companies are one battalion. One brigade has four infantrymen. battalion, a cavalry battalion, an artillery battalion, an engineer battalion and two supply battalions, as well as a communications company, a military police company, a health company and other units. The entire brigade has no less than 5,000 troops, and all officers and non-commissioned officers are from the Yongwei Battalion. Huang Degong's troops were transferred from his command, and the soldiers were newly recruited soldiers. According to what the villain learned during the training, the East Palace Guards consisted of one cavalry brigade and two infantry brigades, and about three brigades of newly recruited soldiers were undergoing training. The entire East Palace Guards The strength of the Guards is no less than 30,000."
In order to answer fluently, Hao Qingbing practiced dozens of times before coming to vote. He wrote down everything he knew and divided it into categories so that it was easy to report.
"Hmm! Then from your point of view, can the 30,000 men of the Barbarian Prince Guards compete with the 30,000 Qing cavalry?"
Huang Taiji had already sent someone to record what the other party said. He would analyze and interpret it later. What he wanted to know most now was the size, weapons, tactics and other information of the elite Ming army.
"In my humble opinion, the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty are stronger in field battles and weaker in sieges, while the East Palace Guards are on the contrary. However, Prince Manming has already sent people to build an airship, and I heard that there is something called a 'tank'. Listen, Said to be invulnerable, it is specially used to restrain the Qing cavalry!"
Hao Qingbing had not been in the East Palace Guards for a long time, and he did not know much information, but at least he had heard about it, and he knew more than the people across from him, including Huang Taiji.
"Presumptuous! Wanton nonsense! In the whole world, is there anything that can restrain my Qing cavalry?"
Hauge was immediately furious. He admitted that the Qing soldiers were weak in attacking the city, but it was just a lie to fabricate the Qing cavalry's natural enemies. If there really was one, I would have taken it out early tomorrow, why would it fail completely?
"I have never seen it, I just heard about it. However, everyone in the city has seen the airship, and I have also seen it. It can really take off, and I think the mobilization of troops and horses within a radius of dozens of miles can be seen at a glance. "
Hao Qingbing believed that there was no such thing in the Qing Dynasty. It couldn't even build something similar to carrying people. That airship was the only one in the world.
"Can you build this airship?"
Huang Taiji had long known about the existence of the airship from Xizuo, and even knew its appearance clearly, but without craftsmen and structural drawings, it would be impossible for the Qing Dynasty to imitate it.
If airships could be imitated like red cannons, then hundreds of thousands of airships coupled with hundreds of thousands of Qing cavalry would be able to sweep the world, and the Ming Dynasty would be within easy reach.
"The villain only knows that all airships are built by a place called the Academy of Sciences. The manufacturing process of airships is extremely complicated. It is said that the cost of building one airship is as high as ten thousand taels of silver."
If Hao Qingbing could build airships, he wouldn't have to come to seek refuge with the Qing Dynasty. With this skill, he would be treated as a master wherever he went.
"It's nothing more than a big kite that costs a lot of money!"
Hauge simply didn't believe that the airship had any fighting power. Even if it was powerful, it couldn't defeat the invincible Qing cavalry. With ten thousand taels of silver, one can form a hundred cavalry.
"What kind of news do you know? Just speak out and I will reward you!"
Regarding what this person said, Huang Taiji thought that there was some truth in it. At least he could know the establishment of the Man Ming Prince's guard, which was something he had not learned before.
"When the villain was training, he wore heavy armor. The helmet and body armor were made of thick iron. Bows and arrows could not penetrate the armor at a few steps. All members were equipped with new blunderbuss and bayonets. The bayonets are there. A nearly foot-long dagger is installed on the front end of the gun, which is used for close combat. There is also a bomb-dropping event during the training. Ordinary soldiers must throw a one-pound grenade more than fifteen steps to be considered qualified."
Hao Qingbing felt that what he had personally experienced was something that the Qing Dynasty should never understand, unless someone came to seek refuge first.
"……Um!"
Huang Taiji began to think deeply after hearing this. If this armor was really invulnerable, the bows and arrows that the Qing soldiers were proud of would have no use.
The musket can be used for long-range shooting, and the bayonet can be used for close combat. There are grenades to supplement the two, taking into account the three ranges of long, medium and near.
Unless we can attack the capital in one fell swoop and annihilate the guards of the barbarian Ming Taizi defending the city, it will probably be difficult to fight in the field in the future.
"Hmph! Why should our Imperial Master of the Qing Dynasty be afraid of a mere blunderbuss? Even if he is equipped with a dagger of more than a foot, how can the defeated soldiers of the Ming Dynasty resist the rapid charge and killing of my Qing Dynasty cavalry?"
Hauge would never admit that what the other party said was reasonable. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty were unparalleled in cavalry and archery, and invincible in foot combat. They had fought in the north and south for many years without any defeat.
No matter how hard the dog barbarian tries, he can only be beaten to pieces by Master Wang in the end. He has no other choice but to kneel down and beg for surrender.
"How do you usually train? Tell me!"
Although this man was just a soldier, Huang Taiji was very interested in what he said, and the value of the information he provided was not much worse than that of a spy stationed in the capital.
"The villain used to get up at five o'clock in the morning, that is, as soon as Mao hour came. He took two quarters of an hour to wash up and get out of bed. He immediately gathered to report the count, and then ran in circles for two miles on the school grounds. After that, he had breakfast. In the morning, he performed queue and physical exercises. , in the afternoon we will have shooting, fighting and cultural studies. Learning culture means knowing Chinese characters. Prince Barbarian Mingtao requires everyone, whether officers or soldiers, to know at least 300 Chinese characters. At nine o'clock in the evening, it is Haishi and everyone has to turn off the lights and go to bed. "
Hao Qingbing reported his daily routine. In fact, there was nothing new. It might just be that there was an extra element of literacy compared to the Qing Dynasty.
"Literacy? Hum! What's the use? How can you kill the enemy?"
Hauge completely looked down on Prince Man Minggou's way of training soldiers. Isn't it a joke to train soldiers to make them literate? This dog prince really doesn't understand the art of military training.
"Shut up!"
The eldest son relied on his high status and kept interjecting. After several times, Huang Taiji was dissatisfied, especially when he interjected and often planned his own ideas.
"Huang Ama..."
Hauge wanted to argue for himself, but when he saw Huang Ama's face sinking, he knew that he was getting in the way again by talking too much, so he could only obey his orders angrily.
"How are you treated there?"
Huang Taiji knew that military pay would be deducted from various ministries of Man Ming. If similar things happened to Prince Man Ming's guards, it would probably affect the combat effectiveness of his troops.
"The villain is an infantryman. During the probation period, he can receive 2 taels of silver and half a stone of rice per month. After the probation period and becomes a regular employee, he can receive 3 taels of silver. The cavalry is 4 taels per month, the artillery is 5 taels per month, and the rice salary is the same. . All are real benefits and will not be withheld.”
Hao Qingbing was worried that the Qing Dynasty had already known about the treatment of the East Palace Guards, and this time they deliberately tested the authenticity of what he said, so he did not slander his former employer, but told the truth.
"If I give you some soldiers, can you train them to be similar to the Guards of the Barbarian Prince?"
Regardless of whether what this person said was true or false, Huang Taiji wanted to see the results of the so-called "soldier training method".
"I am willing to train my troops hard for the Emperor and show off all the skills I have learned!"
Hao Qingbing instinctively realized that his opportunity for promotion had come, so he hurriedly accepted it. If this was done well, he would at least be able to become a company commander or even a battalion commander.
"Hao Qingbing!"
"The villain is here!"
"I will temporarily grant you the title of Niulu Zhangjing of the Han Army's Zhenghuang Banner. I will reward you two hundred taels of silver, five stones of rice, one piece of brocade, two pieces of cloth, ten pounds of salt and tea, a set of porcelain, and a tent. From tomorrow, I will receive three Hundreds of soldiers must be trained within three months without any mistakes!"
"I thank the emperor for his grace, and I will train his troops well for you. Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
Hao Qingbing was so beautiful now. He was just a small soldier over there. He suffered hardships and was kicked out in the end.
But I don’t want to stay here, I have my own place to stay.
Wouldn't it be great to join the Qing Dynasty and immediately become Niu Lu, who is equivalent to a battalion commander?
This is really good luck, and I can’t stop it even if I want to!
Hao Qingbing is not his real name. His real name is Hao Bing. In order to show favor to the Qing Dynasty, he deliberately added a word to his name. It must be that this added word played an important role.
"Wait a minute! Emperor Ama, just now this person said that a dagger tied to a gun can be used for close combat. I think he must know the wonderful use of this thing. Why don't we let this person compete with me, a warrior of the Qing Dynasty?"
Hauge was not willing to accept the title of Niu Lu for the newcomer, but he couldn't openly block his emperor's holy will, so he could only find a reason to disgust him.
If you don’t know the details, how can you convince the public?
I just took this opportunity to test this guy's skills. If he was cut down to the ground, he would be just a good-for-nothing.
"Hao Qingbing, what do you think?"
"The villain is willing to give it a try, but he only has to carry weapons with him..."
"No problem, my camp has everything from red cannons to blunderbuss and daggers. You can choose and play with them!"
After listening to Hauge's suggestion, Huang Taiji also wanted to see what this person's abilities were, and specially sent someone to find a pair of armor according to his body shape.
Hao Qingbing's opponent was Huang Taiji's personal soldier. His combat power exceeded that of ordinary Bagala, and he could be regarded as an elite soldier among the elite soldiers. Therefore, even if Hao Ge bet all his worth, he would think that his side would win.
For the sake of fairness, both sides wore armor, but the soldiers did not use bows and arrows, and Hao Qingbing did not use blunderbuss to fire. The two of them fought in close combat with waist knives and blunderbuss with daggers attached to them.
The civil servants and generals who came after hearing the news also wanted to see how skilled this boy was, more like they knew the magical effects of a blunderbuss with a dagger attached to it.
"please!"
This private soldier can also explain the language. In order to show the master's respect for the person who comes to seek refuge, it is still polite to let the other person take action first.
"Concession!"
Upon seeing this, Hao Qingbing saluted with his gun in his arms. Then he held the gun tightly, bent down, kicked off his right foot, started on the spot, and rushed towards the opponent at high speed.
This soldier was a veteran of many battles. Seeing that this man was approaching menacingly, especially the long size of the blunderbuss with the dagger attached to it, which gave him an advantage in the fight, he deliberately dodged away.
Hao Qingbing jumped into the air directly, but he was not discouraged. He also understood that if someone was selected to fight with him, he would definitely be more than a loser, and he would definitely have one more advantage than him, that is, he was determined to kill someone.
Soldiers who have killed people are completely different from those who have not. Not only can they improve their self-confidence, this rare experience can also help them stay mature and calm at critical moments, so that they can use their abilities as normally as possible.
However, Hao Qingbing knew his own disadvantage, that is, the blunderbuss could not fight close to the target, and he had to keep a few steps away from the target so that he could sprint easily.
Even if the first blow fails, you must run out of the attack range of the opponent's waist knife to avoid being injured and to facilitate your second sprint.
"ah!"
However, after charging three times in a row, Hao Qingbing failed to stab the opponent. When the fourth time came, Hao Qingbing shouted loudly and continued to charge with all his strength.
The soldier had carefully seen this man's tactics and chose a completely different style of play than before. Instead of avoiding, he decided to use his knife to deflect the dagger and then kill him.
However, both of them underestimated the strength of the other. They had great inertia when sprinting, and they could not deflect the bayonet without enough strength.
The soldier had already touched the dagger with his waist knife, and he suddenly felt that he had miscalculated. The force was really strong. He only moved it halfway, and the dagger pierced directly into the armor.
Fortunately, he was wearing three layers of armor, otherwise he would have been stabbed by this man, or even stabbed to death, which shocked Hauge who was watching the battle.
Hao Qingbing also didn't expect that this Qing soldier could actually grab the blunderbuss with his hand when he was stabbed by him, reverse everything with his waist knife, and quickly remove the dagger. This was quite an impressive feat.
"That's enough! That's it!"
Huang Taiji didn't want to directly kill people or cause trouble to his own soldiers. This bayonet was indeed interesting, but he had to let his subordinates deal with it carefully in the future.
But now that he understands the purpose and tactics of the bayonet, it would be wishful thinking for Man Ming to use this trick to threaten the Qing soldiers...
