I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

On February 10, the battle report between Boluo and Hong Chengchou was sent to Beijing.

In the palace of the regent, Dorgon kicked over a table.

"Bo Luo, it's because I trusted him so much, so he repaid my trust like this? The 80,000 army is gone, why didn't he apologize for his death?"

Can't blame Dorgon for being so angry, this is an army of 80,000, and it is 88,000 bannermen, not the 80,000 of the green camp.

This is already one-tenth of his entire force, and one-half of the force he can call. Most of his troops must be stationed in various places, and there is really not much that can be used.

After his vitality was severely damaged this time, he didn't know when he wanted to send troops south again. The cavalry, in particular, cannot recover in two or three years.

This kind of loss has directly cut Boluo to the past.

Dorgon was angry, and the others didn't dare to say a word. At this time, no one dared to touch the mold.

After the fire, Dorgon began to check the battle report in detail.

The defeat has become a fact, and it is useless to get angry. We still have to learn from it and find the reason for the defeat.

However, when reading the battle report, Dorgon couldn't help but freak out.

It's really embarrassing. If it was said that he lost to an army of hundreds of thousands, he would feel better, but an army of 120,000 lost to 60,000 in a decisive battle on the plain. What kind of operation is this?

"The enemy's artillery shells can be blasted, and the power is far greater than that of solid shells. The enemy's flintlock guns fire extremely fast, almost six times that of ordinary fire guns, and all the troops cannot easily approach. , nearly half of them were killed or injured. There are also hand-thrown artillery shells, called grenades. The explosive power is slightly smaller than that of artillery shells, but they are extremely small and can be carried by any soldier. At the same time, their power is more terrifying than artillery... "

Looking at the description of Wu Jun's various new weapons in the battle report, Dorgon felt a little better.

It is understandable to lose to the unknown. Now with detailed intelligence, it is possible to replicate these new weapons. With their size, as long as they are equipped on a large scale, they can be invincible.

However, Hong Chengchou also mentioned in the battle report that Wu Jun kept the secrecy of these new weapons very well. At present, they only got samples of grenades. As for the flintlock gun and the kind of shells that can be blasted, they have no clue.

"What a bunch of trash."

Dorgon couldn't help but scolded again, Wu Jun has been rising for so long, and he can't even get the secret of a fire gun.

After seeing the description of the cavalry charge in the Hong Chengchou battle report, Dorgon was dubious.

He believed in Hong Chengchou's analysis, but he didn't quite believe that the so-called hollow phalanx could be so powerful.

Those soldiers who formed the formation did not panic when facing the charge of tens of thousands of war horses?

If Hong Chengchou hadn't been very reliable, Dorgon would never have believed this battle report.

However, the battle reports of Hong Chengchou and Bo Luo were similar, so he could not believe it.

"You all look at this battle report and tell me what to do."

Dorgon shared the battle report with others and asked them to find a way to face the current predicament.

It is unrealistic to send troops to the south for reinforcements in a short period of time. It is too difficult to pacify the south with only less than 40,000 remaining soldiers from the Eight Banners and 20,000 green battalions in Nanjing.

"I think at this time, Prince Duanzhong should stick to Nanjing and keep this bridgehead. We will expand our army in the north again to recruit new soldiers to replace the defenders in some places, and send local troops to the south again for reinforcements."

The first to give advice was Fan Wencheng, a descendant of Fan Zhongyan, a famous writer, thinker and statesman of the Song Dynasty. His ancestors wrote about the worries and worries of the world before, and the joy of the world after.

Then he surrendered to the Manchu Qing, and he took the initiative to seek refuge.

He is somewhat similar to Hong Chengchou, a person who has real ability but no backbone.

He surrendered to the Manchu Qing a long time ago. He devoted himself to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and offered advice and suggestions. He was the main planner of the Qing army's entry into the customs, and was highly valued by Dorgon.

However, he has no backbone, and his wife was once occupied by Dodo.

But he didn't dare to say a word, just pretended to inadvertently spread the news to Huang Taiji's ears. Because Huang Taiji saw Fan Wencheng's talent, he came forward and punished Duo Duo.

Although the wife is coming back, it is an indisputable fact that she is humiliated.

As a man, even after being so humiliated, Fan Wencheng still served for the Qing Dynasty, and even served for Dorgon, who took power after Huang Taiji's death.

And Dorgon and Dodo are brothers who wear the same pair of pants.

This person is covered in cartilage, as long as he is stronger than him, in front of his wife, he may praise the other party, "Your kung fu is really good".

Now, he is advising Dorgon again.

Fan Wencheng's method is almost the best way to deal with it.

As long as they can hold Nanjing, their army will not have to face the problem of the natural danger of the Yangtze River.

Recruiting new soldiers to replace veterans stationed in places can quickly assemble the main force without affecting the local domination.

"Mr. Fan's method is feasible, and there are new weapons for the enemy. Mr. Fan has a solution."

Dorgon asked.

"This can only call for skilled craftsmen, develop a method of collecting and manufacturing rewards, and at the same time send a large number of secret agents to go to Jiangnan to inquire about information."

Fan Wencheng was also curious about the various new weapons described in the battle report, which he had never heard of before.

However, he also knew that the Han people were very skilled craftsmen. As long as they could give a big reward, there must be skilled craftsmen who could create these new weapons.

In the end, Dorgon adopted Fan Wencheng's method, and counted on the other flag owners who only knew how to fight to find a way. Thinking that it was dark, they couldn't hold back half a fart.

"Duoduo, you are ready. According to the information in the battle report, think of ways to deal with the hollow square, and then practice in the army. When the time is right, you will go south to replace Boluo and direct the southern expedition."

Dorgon ordered that according to the Wu Jun's fighting style written in the battle report, they could also roughly imagine that kind of picture, and then figure out how to deal with it and simulate the drill.

The Qing army can be invincible all the way, and it is not just a stupid cavalry charge. They are also very good at summarizing and improving.

In the past, the firearms of the Ming army were much stronger than those of the Qing army. After Huang Taiji suffered a big loss in firearms, he began to smash pots and sell iron, and starve to make firearms and cannons.

Relying on this method, the firearms of the Qing army eventually surpassed the Ming army.

"Brother, don't worry, what is the hollow square, I will find out the weakness of this formation within three days."

Duo Duo snorted coldly. He had never experienced the brutal beating of the hollow square, and it was difficult for Duo to feel any fear of this square. If it were Aziger, he would never dare to boast about such a seaport.

Hearing that Duo Duo underestimated the enemy, Fan Wencheng on the side did not remind him that his relationship with Duo Duo was still not good.

The hatred of killing the father and the hatred of stealing the wife, it is really strange that the relationship can be good.
