Chapter 158
Both Zhao Shizhen and Sun Chengzong were summoned.

They all knew about the emperor's methods, but Meng Zhaoxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, didn't know about it.

Zhu Youjian was also excited for a while, and he ignored this matter.

As a result, this coquettish operation frightened the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and kowtowed repeatedly on the ground.

"thump……"

"The emperor is a god and man, long live my emperor, long live, long live"

Meng Zhaoxiang didn't care what the steam engine was, he only cared about the emperor taking things out of thin air.

People in ancient times were superstitious, and being able to do such miraculous things shows that the emperor is not a mortal at all.

Reminiscent of the heroic performance of the emperor since the capital's counterattack, not only made the bandits flee, but also made the corrupt officials nowhere to hide.

Zhu Youjian was already like a god in Meng Zhaoxiang's heart. He lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, not daring to look up at Zhu Youjian.

In fact, Zhu Youjian killed so many people, but he didn't kill everyone. As long as the loyal officials of Ming Dynasty were not guilty of serious crimes, he almost always spared them.

"Aiqing is flat, this is not a golden palace, so there is no need for such a grand ceremony."

Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand to pull Meng Zhaoxiang up. At this time, Zhao Shizhen was completely attracted by the steam engine. Isn't this the thing he couldn't understand?
"Your Majesty, I have requested to borrow the steam engine for use. After half a year, the ironclad ship and the steam engine will be formed. Please allow me the emperor."

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:
"This is a sample for you, and someone can move it to the Ministry of Industry immediately. After half a year, I want to see the launch of the Tiejian battleship."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will retire."

Seeing the steam engine, Zhao Shizhen didn't care about anything. He had to study this thing carefully and try to launch the iron-clad battleship as soon as possible.

Zhu Youjian didn't want to waste their time, so he immediately ordered Jin Yiwei to send the steam engine to the Ministry of Industry. Meng Zhaoxiang and Zhao Shizhen then resigned.

After they all left, Sun Chengzong stood up and saluted:
"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions for summoning your humble minister?"

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"Well, there are very important things for you to do. How is the recruitment of new recruits now? Is the supply of soldiers sufficient?"

Sun Chengzong:
"Your Majesty, according to your will, I have recruited [-] recruits from the people, and thousands of households in the Shenji Battalion have been training them. These recruits are able to endure hardships and are much better than those young soldiers."

Zhu Youjian:

"Very good, you go back and prepare, let them divide into two groups, and send some supplies to the Longteng Army of Meng Yuan and the Qi Family Army of Liaodong."

"The minister obeys the order."

Shengkyo
Regent's House
"Report to the prince, urgent military situation."

Dorgon stood in front of a map of the Eastern Captives, looked at the entire territory occupied by the Eastern Captives, and was thinking about how to deal with the attack of the three-way army of the Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly the scout came in to report in a panic, and Dorgon cursed without looking back:
"Tell me, why are you so panicked, what's the matter?"

The scout got down on one knee:
"Cha, report to the lord, Hauge, the King of Purging, led the Zhenglan Banner to attack Liaoyang, and the whole army was wiped out. The life and death of the King of Purging are uncertain."

"boom……"

"how is this possible"

Dorgon shook his hand, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered. He turned around suddenly, grabbed the scout by the neck, and almost lost his mind.

"What did you say? Say it again."

Looking at Dorgon's blood-red eyes, the scout tremblingly repeated what he just said:
"The entire army of the Zhenglan Banner was annihilated, and the life and death of King Qingqing are unknown"

Dorgon trembled all over, waved his hand to make the scout retreat, he turned and went to Chongwu Hall.

Although Hauge was once his biggest competitor, he was also a fierce general of the Eastern Captives.

Zhenglan Qi is one of the backbones of Dongyao. After losing Zhenglan Qi, Dongyao's strength will be greatly reduced.

It is almost impossible to form a Zhenglanqi with the same strength as now, within 20 years.

There were a total of 30 or 16 people in the Eastern Captives. Excluding men, women, and children, there was no source of soldiers at all. Their boys over the age of [-], as long as they were healthy, were all on the battlefield.

Hauge had a great influence in the East Captive. He was once the successor of Huang Taiji, and the prince who supported him was as strong as Dorgon, otherwise Dorgon would have taken over directly.

Chongwu Hall was silent, no matter if it was Daishan or Abate, no matter it was Ye Bilong or Sony.All immersed in pain at this time.

Those Han servants who surrendered to the captives even lowered their heads, looking heartbroken, as if their own father had been killed.

Because most people didn't believe Dorgon's words yesterday, and now that the Dongkuo suffered a disgraceful defeat, they don't even know how to speak up.

As the regent of the Eastern Captives, Dorgon still had to make decisions. He looked around, and everyone kept their heads down and their morale was very low.

Dorgon shook his head helplessly and said:

"Princes and kings, don't let morale be so low, we lose on firearms, and now the Ming army's weapons are almost all firearms.

And our Eight Banners still have very primitive warfare methods, we are not short of silver, but we have no place to buy firearms at all. After the eight imperial merchants were killed, our Qing Dynasty not only lost the source of firearms, but also lost the supply of food.

Winter has come, and most of the Ming army is from the south. They must not be as used to the weather in Liaodong as we are.

Inform each city to strictly guard against death. When the heavy snow falls, the firearms of the Ming army will be useless.

At that time, it was the day when I was ashamed of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. We wanted to kill the Guangming Dog and take back Liaoyang. "

Thinking of the heavy snowfall, the eyes of the Dong captives in Chongwu Hall lit up.

They seem to have seen the scene where the Ming army was frozen to death or the matchlock guns could not be ignited, and they could only let their Eight Banners army swing their knives to kill them.

Ye Bilong waved his fist and shouted:
"Yes, let's wait. When the snow falls, we will fight back with all our strength and kill the Guangming dog to take back Liaoyang."

Before Ye Bilong finished speaking, a young man walked in from outside the hall and immediately interrupted Ye Bilong's speech.

"I can't wait, when did my Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners lose such a shameful battle, their victory over the Zhenglan Banner must have been a loss of troops and a loss of people.

Ben Baylor is willing to lead the inlaid red flag to recover Liaoyang, and to avenge my shame in the inlaid yellow flag and Zhenglan flag. Please order the Regent. "

The person who came was Daishan's eldest son, Yue Tuo, who had just waited for the information that Zhenglan Banner's entire army had been annihilated, and King Qing's whereabouts were missing, so he rushed to Chongwu Hall immediately.

The son forced himself to stand out, Daishan was so angry, but in this situation, he couldn't stop him, he just gave his son Yuetuo a hard look.

The big traitor Kong Youde thought it was time for him to make meritorious deeds, and he knelt down in front of Dorgon, looking like a slave:
"My lord, this slave wants to ask for orders to fight. Isn't the Ming army powerful with firearms? Kong Youde also has a firearms battalion. The slave hopes to share the worries and problems of the masters."

"My lord, this slave is willing to fight with lord Kong, please give me permission from the regent lord."

The speaker was another traitor, Hong Chengchou.
