Chapter 369 The situation in Liaodong

There is a vast sea of ​​people in the world, where should I go? As Wangcai said, should I find a pure land to live my life in a simple way, or go north to find His Royal Highness the Prince.

But now the Ming Dynasty is full of wars, and natural disasters and man-made disasters are everywhere. It is so difficult to find a pure land. Go north, you must go north!

Thinking of His Royal Highness's voice, appearance, and appearance, and the past when Zhu Cixuan treated him, Douhuaer finally decided to go north and return to Zhu Cixuan.

Only by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can Douhuaer feel inexplicably at ease. She is a weak woman, how difficult it will be if she wants to go north.

After changing into coarse cloth clothes, she finally dared to walk on the street with the courage to do so. However, she still attracted countless gazes.

Although she was wearing tattered clothes, she couldn't hide her beauty. The young Douhuaer's breasts began to bulge slightly. This attracted some malicious eyes of the prodigal sons. Douhuaer was very scared and she left twice as quickly.

Fortunately, it is the capital city, under the feet of the emperor. No one dares to tease good women on the street. People are just wondering why a little girl with a humble status looks so good-looking. She doesn't look like a child from a poor family, but she just dresses up as a poor person.

Even when she left the city, she was stopped by the little men guarding the city gate. After interrogating, Douhuaer was casually thrust and was released.

After leaving Beijing City, Douhua'er breathed a sigh of relief. She had no horse or carriage, so she could only follow the direction of the sun and headed north.

The population began to become less and there were piles of charcoal fires left by the roadside, not known as merchants or travelers. The fire had been extinguished, and only charcoal that had not yet been burnt was left lying in the fire.

Douhua'er stopped, and she bent down and took out the rusty scissors from her arms. This was probably her only self-defense weapon.

Douhuaer knelt down, spread out the hairpin on her head, and her hair fell like a waterfall. Without hesitation, she picked up the scissors and cut off a strand of black hair.

She cut her hair very short and was like a dog chewing it. This is a way to save her life. She is in a foreign land and the road ahead is long, and I don’t know what kind of danger she will encounter. The world is not peaceful, and the girl who is alone is even more difficult to walk.

Her hair was falling, but fortunately, the young tofu has not yet grown. She looked like a tomboy. However, her skin was too fair.

So she leaned over and crushed the charcoal in the fire with stones and blackened all the exposed skin on her body with charcoal. She didn't even have a baggage, and the few money in her hands were not enough to get her to Liaodong.

The river water is clear, and a thin figure reflects the clear river water. Douhuaer sees herself in the water extremely desolate and looks like a beggar.

This is safe, and only this is safe. A beggar who has nothing and cannot help but be weak will not attract the attention of evil people.

Even if he is an acquaintance now, even if Zhu Cilang stands in front of him, he will not recognize him.

Douhuaer was very satisfied. She smiled at the reflection in the water, revealing a row of inappropriate big white teeth.

She put the scissors into her arms and started to set off again. On the side of the road, Douhuaer picked up a branch, and she used this branch to stumble north all the way to find her prince.

The exercises of the Hu Ben Army are still continuing, and the Liaodong Army is finally more like a group of soldiers. Back then, the Ming Iron Cavalry under the command of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di were so heroic and so glorious.

Today, although these Liaodong troops are not as good as their ancestors, they will no longer be afraid of the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty. They already have the capital to compete with Huang Taiji.

The Hu Ben Army was becoming more and more difficult to win, and the Liaodong Army was able to fight more and more. Both sides exhausted the wisdom of the ancients, such as spy warfare, positional warfare, siege warfare, city defense warfare, light cavalry, heavy armored cavalry, firearm attack and defense, application of cannons, and training of battle formations...

But the victory of the exercise was the Hu Ben Army. The Liaodong Army became increasingly angry and tried every means to win. Each exercise made a qualitative leap in combat effectiveness between the two sides. Thirty-six strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War, "Six Strategies", "Three Strategies", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Sima Law", "Wei Liaozi", "Li Weigong's Questions", and both sides racked their brains to use the strategies that could be used.

The Eastern Palace Guards were no longer as scattered as before. Liaodong was really a good place to train troops. The combat effectiveness of the Ming army soared, which made Zhu Cilang very satisfied.

However, it is still unrealistic to take the initiative to attack Huang Taiji at this time. The combat effectiveness of the Qing army is still not to be underestimated. In the field, Huang Taiji's Qing army is still invincible. Only by acknowledging the excellence of the enemy can one know shame and be brave.

Hong Chengchou also understood this principle, so the Liaodong army often defended the city and fought, mainly through cooperation between the cities to prevent the Ming army from responding quickly once Huangtai Kedah came.

In fact, the Qing army was not idle either. Huang Taiji's condition finally improved, and he valued the Han people at Kaizhong.

He was not worried about the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners' children. What Huang Taiji was worried about was the Ming army's firearms. This was a natural war genius. On the battlefield of cold weapons, the Qing soldiers would not fear anyone. What they feared was the Ming Dynasty's firearms.

The Ming army's firearms were developing, and the Qing army's firearms were not willing to fall behind. When Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong from Pidao, most of Mao Wenlong's subordinates surrendered to Huang Taiji. Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others surrendered to Huang Taiji, bringing the art of cannon production to the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji gave them noble courtesy: they went out ten miles away to greet them, and they were given a greeting ceremony. They were appointed Kong Youde as the marshal of the capital, and Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi was the general officer, and they were allowed to lead their own people. They called orders and advocacy, and the ritual guards were as good as their old ones, and they were only ranked second among the Beile. Except for the requests for the troops to be sent, everything else was independent. They were called Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming's army was the Tianyou Army, Shang Kexi army was the Tianzhu Army, and the flag color was white and soaped. They became an important armed force within the Later Jin Dynasty that was different from the Eight Banners.

When Huang Taiji was appointed as emperor, he was granted the title of King Gongshu, Geng Zhongming as King Huaishun, and Shang Kexi as King Zhishun.

Cannons are needed to siege. Kong Youde's previous misfortune, the governor of Dengzhou, Sun Yuanhua, was a firearm expert in making cannons. Kong Youde learned the art of making cannons under his command. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Kong Youde taught the firearm technology to the Eight Banners Army. Personally, he felt that the traitors in the late Ming Dynasty should be led by Kong Youde.

Kong Youde brought the Manchu Qing Dynasty an urgently needed fleet, red barbarian cannons and craftsmen who cast firearms, which made the later Manchu Qing play a huge role in the attack on North Korea and the war against the Ming Dynasty.
