"Everyone who comes will be rewarded five taels of silver!"
Huang Taiji could see clearly that after the dagger was tied to the blunderbuss, the threat increased sharply. Although it could only stab directly, once the soldiers rushed forward with all their strength, even the warriors of the Qing Dynasty who had experienced hundreds of battles could not resist it. It strikes with all its strength.
Special personnel must be sent to develop a set or several targeted tactics to contain the bayonet charge that the Ming army may launch when the two sides are in close combat. Otherwise, the Qing warriors will definitely suffer from this.
"Your Majesty, this villain accidentally hurt someone and dare not accept the reward!"
Hao Qingbing still knows how to advance and retreat. When he first arrived, he didn't dare to make any money. If he hurt Huang Taiji's soldiers, it would be a crime of disrespect.
"Fighting has always been blind. If you don't have the courage to fight bravely and the strength to fight to the death, how can you win? If you don't have the ability to hurt others, not only will I not reward you with money, but I will also suspect that you are a bluff. No Will be reused!”
Huang Taiji is not a very smart home emperor. He is very good at everything from strategies and tactics to fighting moves. To deceive his eyes is not something ordinary people can do.
"Your Majesty is wise! The Qing Dynasty will surely win!"
Hao Qingbing felt relieved after hearing this. He was worried at first that he would be punished, but now it seems that he has met his master. As long as he works hard in the future, he will definitely be able to prosper.
Compared to Man Ming, this move was considered the right move. He just made some innocuous mistakes during training and was expelled from the team, which made him resentful.
When he follows the Qing army to break through the city, he will be able to relieve the hatred in his heart. How those people treated him in the past, he has to pay it back even harder this time.
"Huang Ama, this person became Niu Lu Zhangjing just after he joined me in the Qing Dynasty. I'm afraid..."
Hauge still looked down upon this person. According to him, it would be good to be granted the title of Bashiku (Xiao Riding School), and to reward him and record Zhang Jing was really to think highly of him.
"When King Sanshun came to join me in the Qing Dynasty, how many men and horses did he keep? What I valued was not the soldiers and horses of these people, but the intelligence and abilities they brought! Some people can forge cannons, and some can fight hard. They are all based on their abilities. If someone can build that airship, even if one person comes to cast it, I will make him the king! It is obvious that there is one, and we in the Qing Dynasty will have it. If there are airships in the sky and cavalry on the ground, I, the king of the Qing Dynasty, will ride to the south of the Yangtze River. Isn’t it just around the corner? Our Qing Dynasty wants to win the world, but also the hearts of the people. If it cannot win the hearts of the people, it will be difficult to gain a foothold even if it takes over the Central Plains. Kublai Khan’s Menggu army was so powerful back then, but after entering the Central Plains, it still imposed the rule of Han Dynasty to control Han Dynasty. Only by following this strategy can Zhao and Song Dynasty be destroyed. I have taught you over and over again, have you listened? As a banner leader, you don’t want to make progress, and you are obsessed with the power of bravery, which makes people despicable. At such a young age, you are so short-sighted, and my earnestness is in vain. expect!"
Compared with the younger Dorgon brothers, Hauge looks like a fool. Is this son really his biological child?
Huang Taiji really hated that iron could not become steel. After giving him a lesson, he went to inspect the preparations of various ministries with his hands behind his back.
"Huang Ama, I know my mistake!"
Hauge could only admit his mistake in embarrassment, but then he thought, as long as he could lead his troops to attack the capital tomorrow, Huang Ama would definitely change his previous views.
The Gou Manzi were at the end of their rope, and no troops from King Qin came to rescue him. The Qing warriors only had to attack the city, and the Gou Manzi would be defeated.
The two white flags of his fourteenth uncle had been sent by Huang Ama to collect grain. The two gray flags of Abatai and Du Du were definitely pointing towards him. The victory of conquering the capital would definitely fall into his hands.
In comparison, this was second only to the glorious victory of Emperor Taizu Gao who defeated the Ming army in Sarhu. Because tens of millions of taels of silver were hoarded in the city, it was much more important than the capture of Shenyang.
According to Huang Taiji's order, a large number of coated Aha should be moved to the front of the camp to shorten the walking distance and reduce physical exertion.
Huang Taiji's camp is ten miles away from the capital, the back camp is even further away, and the front camp is only six miles away from the capital, with a round trip of only twelve miles, which is still within an acceptable range.
These coats don't know how to fight, don't understand tactics, and don't know a few Chinese characters. Their only "advantage" is that they are very edible, and they are worried about the lack of food...
If they could break the city as soon as possible, they would be able to have a full meal, but otherwise they would still be half full like now. But they can’t all starve to death, otherwise who will fill in the moat?
When attacking the city, Bao Yi also had the task of attracting the firepower of the defenders. As long as the Ming army focused its attack on Bao Yi, the main force of the Wang Division following behind could reduce casualties and rush to the city as quickly as possible.
Due to Dorgon's reminder, Huang Taiji brought a large number of carriages this time, even the vehicles along the way. Now the Qing army equipped with various vehicles totaled more than 1,500 vehicles.
These are only the vehicles used to attack the city, not counting the part responsible for transporting baggage. If all are included, the number would be more than 4,000 vehicles.
Since none of the Bao Yis had armor, but they could not die in large numbers during the siege, Huang Taiji ordered the trees to be cut down to make wooden shields for Bao Yi.
The "wooden shield" is two relatively thick large wooden pieces tied to the front and back of the torso to prevent arrows. It looks unattractive and its defensive power is not as good as armor, but it is still useful.
This is because the coat cannot hold a shield, so both hands have to be used to carry the sacks. To complete the task, throw the sacks filled with soil into the moat.
Anyone who dares to throw down the sack and run back without authorization will be shot on the spot if the Eight Banners soldiers behind him see him.
According to the assumption, if 40,000 bags of soil are used, one person can throw in at least 30,000 bags of soil in one trip, which is enough to fill the river section on the offensive route.
If the attack goes well, the soldiers can even use sacks to pile up a slope, allowing the Qing warriors to follow the slope directly to the top of the city.
Maybe even the war horses can charge forward and kill them. The Qing Dynasty King's Division has always been invincible in close combat. By then, the Man Ming defenders will resist desperately, but it will be of no avail.
Huang Taiji ordered the whole army to have a meal at Mao o'clock tomorrow, and then march to line up two miles outside the city, and attack the city as soon as Mao o'clock arrives.
In order to boost morale, the reward offered this time is also unprecedented in scale.
The first person to climb the city will be rewarded with five prospects.
There are thirteen grades from Niulu Zhangjing to the first-class Grand Duke. If you get five prospects, it is equivalent to being promoted from Niulu Zhangjing to the second-class Mele Zhangjing.
It turns out that the second-class Mele Zhangjing can be directly promoted to the third-class Duke and join the ranks of nobles in one step. This is a great stimulus to the generals who are eager to be promoted.
Not only is it a level reward, it is also a substantial benefit. Anyone who climbs the city first, regardless of their position, regardless of whether they are bannermen or Han people, will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, including clothes, and their whole family can enter Huangtaiji's Zhenghuang Banner.
This is not the flag of the Han army. Once it joins the emperor's Zhenghuang flag, it means that future generations will have jobs and no longer have to worry about food and drink. It is the most enviable status in the Qing Dynasty.
In addition, after the city is broken, each person within the Eight Banners will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, one stone of rice, ten catties of salt, a house, and twenty acres of fertile land. Except for the Eight Banners, it does not include houses and farmland, and everything else is the same.
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
After the content of the reward was conveyed, the officers and soldiers of various ministries were naturally happy to the point of shouting long live. They followed the emperor into the customs in order to be promoted and make a fortune.
For ordinary soldiers, promotion is out of reach. Those are all necessary, and only silver is the most affordable. Being able to receive one hundred taels of silver is a lot of money. By the way, you can also touch corpses, maybe even a hundred or so. two.
The people in the capital are all smart and wealthy people. After the city is broken, even if the emperor prohibits killing casually, it is no problem to find a wealthy gentry to break in and extort dozens of taels. This time they have made a fortune.
With money, all problems will be solved. Although the capital is high and deep, it cannot withstand the successive attacks of the Qing army with high morale.
September 17, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, that is, October 13, 1639 in the Western calendar, was a Thursday, not a Friday.
A certain prince is sure that the braids will treat it as Black Friday!
"Your Highness, you must never risk yourself!"
"Yes, His Highness is a man of 10,000 kilograms..."
"That's enough! I'm not going out of the city to surrender, so don't make any noise!"
"Your Highness must not go!"
"Your Highness, this servant wants to report to the Queen..."
"Shut up! I'm going to the city to use my magic!"
"ah???"
"You all put on your armor!"
A certain prince felt that Huang Taiji didn't have much patience to spend time with him. Two to three hundred thousand troops were stationed outside the city, and just eating people and chewing horses every day was a considerable expense.
The defenders inside the city can just stay in bed. They are not afraid of rain or snow, but they can't stay in braids outside the city. They didn't enter the pass to fight with the defenders...
A certain prince wouldn't be at ease if he didn't see the situation on the ground with his own eyes. Zhou Yuji was relatively reliable, but he couldn't just play tricks on him.
Besides, going to the city to patrol in person can also boost morale. It is very necessary at this juncture. Even just making a circle can be effective, making the soldiers below feel that they are valued.
After receiving a call from Zhou Yuji yesterday to report that there might be some movement in the braided army, a certain prince had a premonition that the two sides were about to fight.
Although he didn't want to start the fight as soon as possible and wanted to stay in the pigtails for a while, the other party didn't listen to him. Since it was about to enter the intense stage at the beginning, it was good to get what he wanted.
"Brother Imperial! Do you really want to use immortal magic?"
"If the Donglu were to line up and prepare to attack the city, my brother would have to make a decisive decision!"
"Oh~! Can my brother watch the battle?"
"Then wash your hands and wear your armor quickly!"
"Okay, okay!"
The little fat man had been looking forward to this for a long time. After finally getting the permission from a certain royal brother, he rushed into the house at lightning speed and asked the chamberlain to quickly change his clothes.
"Brother Xang!"
"My son, I wish to express my regards to my mother!"
"Brother Hong, are you really going to the city?"
"Mother, if the Donglu army attacks the city today, I will use immortal magic!"
"Can this... be used in the rear?"
"Mother, your sons and ministers must observe the killing effect of the immortal magic!"
"Brother Hong, please be careful and don't let the Queen Mother worry. After the spell is cast, you must come back quickly to say hello!"
"My son, I obey!"
Before a certain prince went out on patrol, his beautiful mother hurriedly came over and gave him some instructions. Empress Zhou also knew that this time she was holding on, and without King Qin's troops outside, if she wanted to repel the Donglu army, it would all depend on her eldest son's immortality. Law.
She couldn't stop him, but she didn't want her eldest son to take risks. If an accident happened, he would definitely regret it. However, the matter has come to this, and it can only be like this. I hope His Majesty Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Immortal World, will bless the Ming Dynasty to win this time.
Staying here can't help. After Queen Zhou finished her instructions, she immediately went back to burn incense, so that she could pray for blessings and be sincere. This can be regarded as her own intention.
"When you enter the court, immediately notify Dean Wu and ask him to bring all the people who came to the East Palace to meet me at Deshengmen!"
"yes!"
"By the way, Dean Wu also needs to wear armor!"
"Yes! I'll go right away, slave!"
It's time to show off the 3,000-year-old ultimate skill that he has accumulated for a long time. Once used, he must immediately start to vaccinate the entire city. Otherwise, once the wind direction changes, the smallpox virus may immediately blow into the city.
"Your Highness, I also want to..."
"You don't have to go, just ask Liu Le to follow me. If I have any questions, I will contact you by phone. You have to stay here. You must also keep an eye on my confidential information to prevent anyone from stealing it. .No one can enter my house until I come back.”
"yes!"
Xi'er also wanted to follow, but a certain prince had to let her look after the house. The family had accumulated a bunch of priceless information, including airship manufacturing technology, which could not be thrown away.
Chang Ping has been vaccinated, and now she is being escorted. She can only follow her aunts every day to relieve her boredom. Fortunately, she still has Xue Wanqing as her companion, so she doesn't have to worry about Xi'er being able to stop this little girl.
"Who is on duty in the Military Aircraft Department today?"
"Going back to Your Highness, these are three adults: Li Daiwen, the Minister of Hubu, Feng Quan, the Minister of Rites, and Zhang Guowei, the Minister of the Ministry of Works and the censor of Youqiandu!"
"Are you up?"
"Slave, go ahead now!"
"No need, I'll call you directly!"
A certain prince got up an hour earlier than usual today. Generally, the Military Aircraft Department and the East Palace have the same work and rest hours, which makes it easier for foodies like them to come over and have a meal.
After the call, the three food-loving ministers came to take orders after a brief wash. Then a certain prince could only send them to settle their own matters first.
The top of the city is no better than Ouchi. There is no toilet, so it is very inconvenient to go out. Once you are used to high-end toilets, it will be unbearable to use dry toilets, so it is best to finish it here first.
A certain prince asked someone to measure the wind direction, and the result seemed to be a bit unfavorable to him. If it enters early winter and the northwest wind blows, the use of weapons of mass destruction may cause harm to both parties.
However, as long as the braided army dares to attack the city aggressively, a certain prince must use the smallpox virus, even at the risk of the entire city being infected. This is currently the only weapon that can truly repel the enemy.
In addition to the long time required for infection, as long as it can hit the target, even if only 500 people are infected in the initial stage, when large-scale infection begins, its power will not be inferior to that of a tactical nuclear bomb.
"Golden helmet and golden armor?"
When a certain prince looked in the mirror, he found that he was quite handsome, a young man without any impurities, but the color of his armor was very eye-catching, making him a reference for the braided gunner.
If I were to change my armor temporarily, it seems like none of them fit me yet. For their own safety, they can only ask the chamberlain to paint the next meal with paint urgently. Make it beyond recognition, so you can feel relieved.
"Your Highness, do you really need to go to the city to cast spells?"
Zhang Guowei did not want the Ming prince to cast spells in such a dangerous place. It was best to cast spells safely from the rear, otherwise the officials and generals would be frightened.
"It can only be used once! I have no choice but to do this!"
Since the number of biochemical warheads is extremely limited, except for high-purity warheads, other low-purity warheads are not enough to cause rapid infection.
Therefore, a certain prince had to personally inspect the battlefield situation in order to seize the opportunity and strike the only counterattack that could turn the tables, otherwise he would really have to wait until the other side took the initiative to retreat.
