Kong Youde felt bitter in his heart.

I thought Leling was a soft persimmon and could be controlled by him at will.

Who would have thought that when they started fighting, they realized that this was not the case at all.

He had red cannons, and the Ming army also had cannons. Although they looked less powerful than red cannons, they were really powerful.

In addition, the advantage of firing artillery from the city was naturally that, and for a moment, the Tianyou Army of Kong Youde's troops was at a disadvantage.

A great shame and humiliation!

If it is understandable that other aspects are lacking, firearms, especially cannons, are the director of the Tianyou Army.

If even the Ming army was compared with this aspect, Kong Youde's old face would have no place to put it.

Moreover, in Kong Youde's opinion, Linqing and Dezhou are not easy to fight, and Leling is already relatively easy to fight.

If he couldn't even take down Leling, what would Prince Yu think? What would the Regent think?

Kong Youde is still very self-aware. He knows that although he is nominally a prince, he is actually just a senior slave in the Aisin Gioro family.

The Aisin Gioro family can grant him the title of king, so they can naturally deprive him of this title.

Kong Youde must take every step carefully, only in this way can he maintain this hard-won wealth.

What is his half-life plan for military service? Isn’t it just to leave glory and wealth for future generations?

"Start a fire!"

Thinking of this, Kong Youde resolutely ordered the firecrackers to be set off.

He wanted to see how long this Leling City could last under the bombardment of the red cannon

After Dorgon ordered people to draft an order, Hong Chengchou ordered dozens of guards to leave Beijing and rushed to Guanzhong.

In his opinion, he would have persuaded Ajige to send troops as soon as possible to arrive in Guanzhong.

The battle situation in Shaanxi and Huguang is no longer just about the gains and losses of this place, but the whole world.

If the Qing army could take Huguang and go straight to Nanjing along the south, perhaps the whole situation would be completely different.

After all, the Ming army will not have too many garrisons in Nanzhili. As long as it breaks through the Huguang defense line, Nanjing is like a little girl in a gauze, and you can go there if you want.

But Hong Chengchou still has one thing to worry about, that is his mother's body.

Hong Chengchou is from Quanzhou, Fujian, and his mother has always lived in her hometown. After the Qing army entered the pass, Hong Chengchou wanted to send someone to pick up his mother to Beijing several times, but he gave up due to traffic barriers between the north and the south.

It was unknown when the Qing army had to conquer the country, but Hong Chengchou couldn't wait.

If the land is blocked, you can only walk by sea.

Before leaving the capital, Hong Chengchou ordered people to travel to Dagukou, Wei, Tianjin to take a boat south to Quanzhou, Fujian, hoping to take his mother back to Beijing to support him.

Fearing that the Ming army discovered the clues, Hong Chengchou did not dare to send the Qing army's navy, but was preparing to entrust a pirate from Xiaoyue Island.

These pirates came to the door not long ago, hoping to act as informants of the Qing army. The Regent Dorgon was very interested and immediately agreed.

This time, Hong Chengchou wanted to ask this group of pirates to pick up his mother from his hometown in Quanzhou, but they probably wouldn't refuse.

Of course, there is no rush for such things. Hong Chengchou only ordered his servants to wait at Dagukou, Tianjin, when will the pirates from Xiaoyue Island come to deliver the letter and when will they board the boat to Quanzhou?

Hong Chengchou asked himself that he had let Emperor Chongzhen down and the Ming Dynasty down, so it was naturally impossible to be loyal.

Therefore, what he thinks now is that he can fulfill his filial piety.

My mother is also old, and he only hopes to serve her every day to fulfill her filial piety and repay her mother's kindness for raising her.

As for right and wrong, merit and demerit, he really doesn't care, so let's leave it to future generations to comment on it.

"The third leader, Dagukou is ahead!"

This is the first time Wu Erhuzi came to Tianjin Wei. One of the last time that came was his confidant, who was just shouting.

He looked closely at the extremely dangerous terrain of Dagukou. He built many forts along the mountain, which was really an easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The reason why he came here in person this time was to better establish a relationship with the Qing court.

After all, relying on others to pass messages and understanding them in person is completely different.

As the boat slowly landed, Wu Erhuzi lived in his heart over and over again.

He didn't know which level he could reach the Qing army, but no matter what, he had to at least explain his interests clearly.

After the boat stopped, Wu Erhuzi was the first to step on the board and jump off the boat.

Several minions followed one by one.

The last time the minions came to lead the way, and a group of pirates climbed up the rugged dirt road.

After walking to a fortress made of stones, the minion stopped and smiled at Wu Erhu Zi and said, "San Zheng, we're here."

The defenders in the fort had discovered them long ago and sent a person to open the door.

After the door opened, several pirates walked in one after another.

The minion greeted the Qing soldiers and led Wu Erhu into it.

"Sanzhuan, you have anything to say to Mr. Cui Qian directly, he has the final say here."

Mr. Cui Qian obviously lives in the best single room in the fortress, and even Wu Erhuzi felt a little envious.

There is no such a good house on Xiaoyue Island, and this guy really knows how to enjoy it.

Cui Qianhu was a very thin man. Seeing the minion bringing a strange face, he asked vigilantly: "Who is this person?"

The minion immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Cui, I'll introduce you to you. This is the third leader of our Xiaoyue Island."

Then he turned to Wu Erhuzi and smiled charmingly: "The third leader, this is Mr. Cui Qian."

The two of them hugged each other and said with a smile on their faces and nonchalantly.

Seeing that the atmosphere inside the house was a little awkward, Mr. Cui Qian asked his men to pour tea.

Although there is no good tea in this fortress, it is still possible to quench thirst and remove fatigue.

While waiting, Cui Qianhu cleared his throat and said, "You three bosses come in person, can you report important matters?"

Wu Erhuzi was very dissatisfied with Cui Qianhu's attitude of controlling his figure, but he had to bow his head under the roof, and he didn't want to break the relationship as soon as he came up.

"Mr. Cui Qian, this is the case. We have heard of an important military information. All the Ming troops stationed in Denglai were transferred to support the north."

Wu Erhuzi thought Cui Qianhu would be shocked, and then boasted about him, but who would have thought that this guy had no reaction at all?

Wu Erhu even doubted whether this guy was deaf and whether he would repeat the words again.

After a long time, Cui Qianhu sprayed two turbid air from his nostrils.

"Hmph, do you think this kind of thing is very important? Forget it, I will report it to you, but I advise you to give up. The possibility of the court sending troops from the sea is not high."

Mr. Cui Qian poured a basin of cold water, and the flames in Wu Erhuzi's heart were extinguished.
