Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 455

After more than a quarter of an hour, Shi Shoujin came over in a disheveled state.

"Master?" Seeing Dai Shan lying dead on the ground, Wu Shoujin couldn't believe it at first, and then wept aloud. He was even more sad than Luo Luohun and his filial sons and grandsons.

"Okay, don't cry." Dorgon stepped forward and kicked.

Wu Shoujin quickly stopped his mourning, and saluted Dorgon again.

Dorgon asked in a deep voice: "Just now, how many people were killed or injured by the Han army in the red flag? How many red cannons were lost?"

Wu Shoujin's face collapsed, and he said with a frowning face, "Back to the Regent, the shelling just now came too suddenly, and our artillery positions were too dense, so the loss was huge..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Dorgon said coldly, "Just talk about the result."

"Hey." Wu Shoujin promised and said again, "There are more than 800 casualties in total, of which more than 20 people were killed in battle. All [-] red cannons were damaged to varying degrees and need to be repaired before they can be used."

"Twelve of them were completely damaged and had to be melted and recast."

"Damn it!" Dorgon's face instantly collapsed.

Another 20 red cannons were lost.

……

At the same time, there was laughter in the bunker at Dagukou.

"I'm afraid the loss of this wave of building slaves will not be small." Feng Houdun said with a smile, "Daishan will probably be very angry."

Chen Mingyu went on to say: "When I went to see Daishan yesterday, the old man's complexion was gray and flushed, mainly due to the deficiency of Qi and blood and the lack of kidney essence. It is probably caused by sexual intercourse day and night not long after recovering from a serious illness. This time, I might be directly pissed off."

"I forgot that Gongchen's ancestor was a doctor." Feng Houdun smiled and said, "No wonder you have to add those two sentences."

"Hey, I absolutely dare not take credit for this matter." Chen Mingyu said hastily, "Both these two sentences were all thought up by Huo Heng."

Yan Yingyuan also smiled and said, "I made it up because the sage once mentioned that Baylor, the banner owner of Jiannu, likes to read the Three Kingdoms, and they must know the story of Zhuge Liang's three spirits, Zhou Gongjin."

"Yan Gong, can I ask a question?" Zhou Peigong asked suddenly.

Yan Yingyuan smiled and asked back: "Do you want to ask me why I determined Jiannu's artillery position?"

"Yes." Zhou Peigong stared at the sand table with a puzzled expression and said, "I heard that Lord Yan asked Mr. Feng to measure and mark the parameters of all the artillery early on. I knew where Jiannu would choose the Hongyi cannon, but the range of the Hongyi cannon can reach more than 500 steps, so there is a lot of choice!"

"That's the case in theory, but it's only in theory." Yan Yingyuan waved his hand and continued, "But in actual use, the Hongyi Cannon is severely restricted by the terrain. Any shelter; secondly, the ground should not be too soft and muddy, it must have a certain degree of hardness."

"Combining these two conditions, Jianshou has very little choice."

"Except for the area we have set aside for Jiannu, the other areas are either blocked or the ground is too muddy to be used as a position for the Hongyi Cannon."

"Mud?" Zhou Peigong was a little confused, "There doesn't seem to be any mud in that area?"

Yan Yingyuan said with a smile: "It wasn't originally, but we poured a lot of seawater in the dark, and trampled it repeatedly for half a night with hundreds of mules and horses, and it turned into a large piece of mud."

"Didn't Jiannu's Yebushou not find out?"

"Of course they did, but they had no idea what we were doing."

Because of the information asymmetry between the two sides, some inexplicable behaviors will not be assured even if the enemy knows about them.

Zhou Peigong thought for a while, and then said: "But it seems that it is difficult to defeat Jiannu with only this level of attack. The crisis in Dagukou is still not resolved."

"Boy, what you said is really simple." Yan Yingyuan said unhappily, "We don't dare to hope to defeat Jiannu, we just want to hold on for as long as possible and wait for the navy to arrive."

"In war, the most taboo thing is to aim too high."

"Strive to do things that are beyond your ability."

Hearing this, Zhou Peigong had a thoughtful look on his face.

……

Early the next morning, Dorgon couldn't wait to convene the Eight Banners again.

Dai Shan had just passed away, and Dorgon couldn't wait until his bones were still cold.

However, this is also a consistent tradition of building slaves. When the bones of the old slaves were not cold, Huang Taiji joined forces with Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Amin and other big belors to force the concubine Abahai to be buried.

Later, Huang Taiji was still dead, and Dorgon and Hauge almost had internal strife for the throne.

For a savage and backward barbarian, there is no such thing as etiquette, justice, integrity and shame. They only believe in fists, and whoever has the hardest fist is the king.

But Dorgon is not here to win the throne this time.

Dorgon is going to reform the Eight Banners system this time.

In particular, the Eight Banners political system must be abolished.

Glancing at the grandson of Prince Li, who was wearing linen and wearing filial piety, Dorgon said with a straight face: "Although Prince Li is dead, the rules set by Old Khan must not be disobeyed. , Even the red-clothed cannons of the Eight Banners Han army have been damaged as many as twenty, if there is no heavy punishment, how can we convince the masses?"

"Prince Regent!" Luo Luo said with a look of grief and indignation, "This time, in order to win Dagukou, I first killed my fourth uncle, and last night I killed my Mafa. Our two red flags have worked hard even if they don't have credit. Right? How can you bear heavy punishment? Could it be that you want to revoke my Mafa’s flag and his title of Prince of Li?”

"Luo Luohun, this is not a personal grudge. This king actually admires the second brother very much."

Dorgon sighed softly and said: "However, rules are rules, and without rules, nothing can be achieved. If the rules are broken on Prince Li this time, no one will follow the legacy of Old Khan in the future."

"Regent, I beg you." The sons and grandsons of Daishan knelt down and begged.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Dorgon winked at Gulmahui.

Guer Mahui understood, and immediately came out and said: "Prince Regent, although Prince Li has been defeated repeatedly, it is an indisputable fact that he worked hard and worked hard for my Qing Dynasty. This time, he died of illness directly on the battlefield. It can be said that the last drop of blood was shed for my Qing Dynasty, if Prince Li is so loyal, he will not go unpunished, it will be really chilling, if Old Khan knows, I am afraid he will feel pity."

Dorgon snorted coldly and said, "Gulmahui, what do you want to say?"

Gulmahui immediately said: "Prince Regent, what I want to say is that one generation does one generation's affairs. When the old Khan set the rules of the Eight Banners to discuss politics, my Qing Dynasty was just a tribe outside the pass."

"However, now my Qing Dynasty has entered the customs and occupied the fertile land of Gyeonggi."

"In the near future, we will be able to Dingding the Central Plains and become the orthodox dynasty of China."

"So, the rules set by Old Khan are no longer applicable, and some improvements need to be made."

Hearing this, many county kings Baylor and Beizi who were present at the scene cast angry glances at Guermahui, because Guermahui was deliberately confusing the public by forcibly tying the reform of the military merit reward and punishment system with the abolition of the Eight Banners' political system. Together, the honor of Daishan could be preserved only by reforming the military merit reward and punishment system, but now that Gu Ermahui is so messed up, the Eight Banners Deliberation System must be abolished in order to retain the title and honor of Daishan.

So does anyone dare to object?No one dared to object.

The nobles of the two yellow flags are basically children and have no opinions.

Needless to say the two white flags, now the two red flags dare not speak.

Because after Daishan's death, there was a vacancy for the banner owner of the Zhenghong Banner. Who should be the banner owner can only be determined by the Eight Banners' discussion of politics. There is no inheritance system, and there is no system.

Therefore, Dorgon has now pinched the weakness of the two red flags.

Needless to say, the two blue flags, Gulma Hun, the owner of the Zhenglan Banner, is Dorgon's henchman, and Le Du, the owner of the Xianglan Banner, is still a child and doesn't know anything.

"Reform the rules set by the old Khan?"

Dorgon stared at Man Dahai and said, "Isn't it good?"

Man Dahai understands what Dorgon means. If he wants to inherit the title of Zhenghongqi and Prince Li, he must support Dorgon's reform of the Eight Banners system, and he must take the initiative to propose it.

But Man Dahai was unwilling. If there was no Eight Banners political system, what's the point of being the banner owner?If Prince Li lost the power to participate in the discussion of politics, he would be nothing more than an idle prince.

At the moment Man Dahai lowered his head, as if he didn't see Dorgon's hint.

Dorgon once again turned his attention to Luck Dehun who just turned eighteen this year.

But Luck Dehun is also an assertive person, and he is not willing to lower his head.

Dorgon became a little angry, he didn't know how to flatter, really thought I couldn't rule you?
At this moment, Barchuhun, the fourth son of Yuetuo, the eldest son of Daishan, suddenly stood up and said, "Guer Mahui is right, the rules set by Lao Khan should be changed, and the first thing to be changed is The Eight Banners Dispute System."

"Baer Chuhun, do you know what you are talking about?" Man Dahai and Luck Dehun were furious.

Even Balchuhun's two brothers, such as Luoluohun and Kaerchuhun, also glared at him.

Baer Chuhun didn't care at all, and said with a snort, "Regent, our two red flags support reform!"

Dorgon didn't want to give Man Dahai, Luck Dehun and other diehards a chance to oppose the reform, and said directly: "Well, since all the banners support the reform, let's reform."

"However, the nobles of the Eight Banners have made great contributions to the establishment of the Qing Dynasty after all."

"So it's not okay to directly deprive all noble and honorable ministers of their political power."

"It's better than this. From now on, a military computer room will be set up. All the princes, counties, and Bei Le and Beizi of each banner will enter the military computer room and serve as the Minister of Military Aviation. However, there are still important military and state affairs to be discussed together as before."

Dorgon still knows how to compromise, knowing that the steps should not be too big at once.

Therefore, it is not possible to directly deprive the Eight Banners nobles of their political power.

It is the most perfect solution to set up a military computer room for a transition.
