"Zhaoqing is an important town in western Guangdong and an outpost for the invasion of the East and the West. The army's rations are sufficient in the warehouse, and coarse grains and fine grains are more than 6,000 stones, which is enough for the army to use in one month. The vassal treasury ** deposited gold, silver, and copper coins in total, totaling more than 60,000 taels of silver. In addition, an additional 230,000 taels of gold and silver were collected from the mansions of the Tatar officials and the evil gentry of the Han thieves and the evil gentry of the Han thieves and the more than 1,500 stones of grain. Not to mention the grain, the amount of gold and silver was much more than that in the vassal treasury. These treasury officials and evil gentry were really greedy."

Wang Fuzhi, the commander of the military commander of the capital, complained a little, and then continued: "In addition, more than 300 pairs of leather armor, iron armor and cotton armor were seized, more than 1,500 pieces of swords, guns, shields and crossbows were intact, more than 300 qualified bird guns, four-pound red barbarian cannons, thirteen tiger squat cannons, and other poisonous rockets, retained guests, caltrops, night thunder forks, wolf teeth patrols and other city defense equipment, and more than 200 war horses were obtained."

Wang Fuzhi listed the seized spoils one by one as he had known things, and his structure was clear.

Zhu Youlang nodded to show that he knew.

This battle was seriously injured and killed in battle. There were about 200 auxiliary soldiers, and nearly 3,000 Qing army green camps were captured and annihilated. Among them, the Yuan Ming surrendered army, which had low combat power, was the main one. Although the losses were insignificant than the opponent's opponent, Zhu Youlang still felt a pain.

These soldiers were cultivated by him after spending a lot of time. They were his loyal subordinates and the capital that determined whether he could survive in the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty. He felt so distressed that he would die of one missing, not to mention that he had lost nearly two hundred at once.

However, Zhu Youlang also knew that if the guards and their personal soldiers wanted to grow up quickly, they had to go through blood baptism, wash away the sand from the waves, and make hundreds of refining into gold. Some of the costs had to be paid.

He had nothing to say about the dead guards and soldiers. He would definitely be buried well and buried so that their souls could rest in peace.

Zhu Youlang will also treat the injured with all his heart. The serious injuries are more difficult to treat. Some minor injuries are caused. As long as you take better care and do not cause wound inflammation, you will be able to jump again in a few days.

Zhu Youlang attached great importance to the weapons he received and specially ordered Wang Fuzhi to concentrate them into the warehouse and then be assigned to each battalion as needed.

With cannons, iron armor, leather armor, and bird guns, the combat power of the army can be increased by 10%, especially the more than 300 bird guns and more than a dozen tiger squat cannons. Once divided, the firepower and long-range strike capabilities can be quickly enhanced.

Although the power of a bird gun is not much stronger than that of a bow and arrow, it only takes one to two months to train a qualified bird gunner, and it doesn't even need to train a qualified archer; but it takes several years to train a qualified archer, and the cost-effectiveness is too low.

Her strength suddenly increased so much that Zhu Youlang could not be excited. However, she was only excited for a while, and her eyes dimmed again.

It is now the mid-17th century. Many Western European countries have equipped flints with better performance. The original combstone gun, such as bird gun, were eliminated by Western European countries as early as the 16th century. But until now, the domestic army is mainly composed of cold weapons, and even the combstone gun, such as bird gun, can be regarded as the top weapon. What a sad thing!

What's even more sad is that in the original historical script, since the Manchu Tartars entered the pass in 1644, until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period in the late Qing Dynasty, for more than two hundred years, the Qing army, whether it was the Eight Banners or the Green Camp, had always used a clamp gun, and never considered using more advanced flints. However, Western European countries had already replaced firearms for several generations in more than two hundred years.

Is this happening because the Qing emperor did not know about the firearms, such as firearms that appeared in the mid-16th century? Or did he really not know the importance of the firearms?

No!

Several emperors in the early Qing Dynasty did not regard muskets as weapons for the weak, but on the contrary, they always regarded firearms as important weapons for military and national affairs.

Seriously speaking, although the Manchu Tatars started with cavalry and shooting, they finally relied on firearms. After the old Nuer Nurhaci was killed by the red cannons of the Ming army, the Manchu Tatars began to pay attention to firearms. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, they paid more attention to firearms and tried every means to imitate them. Later, after Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi surrendered to Huang Taiji, the Manchu Tatars had elite firearm troops. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the south was to wipe out the Central Plains by relying on the firearms of the San Mines and the Green Camp.

During the Kangxi period, the Qing army fought against Tsarist Russia in Yaksa. When they were facing Galdan in the northwest, they often used ten times or even dozens of times the force against them who had flints, but they were often defeated and suffered a lot from flints. Therefore, Kangxi's understanding of the power of this firearm was like the red cannons of the past, and he was deeply immersed in the bone marrow. Later, Qianlong's southern expedition to Myanmar, and he also suffered a big blow on the more advanced flints, but even so, he still did not improve the muskets.

Dai Zi, a firearm expert in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, imitated the "mother-child cannon" that was claimed to be only made by Belgians at that time, and even realized that the earliest machine gun "Singling Musket" in the world was also called the twenty-eight consecutive beads. It was shaped like a pipa, which can shoot twenty-eight bullets continuously, and its firepower was very strong. When he paid tribute to Kangxi, Kangxi praised it on the surface and secretly tied the bead guns to the shelf and strictly ordered him not to rebuild it. Kangxi was not relieved, and then found a reason to exile him to one of the most desolate places at that time - Liaodong.

Several emperors in the early Qing Dynasty once collected various firearms in their palaces, including the most advanced rifled rifles at that time - rifles! But they have never been popularized into the army.

The Tartar Emperor knew the power of firearms so much that he had to resolutely curb its exhibition. If the firearms were arsoned, he would face a very terrifying reality, that is, a woman, child, old and weak could kill an Eight Banner Warrior with one shot in his hand!

As for why they did not ban bird guns, perhaps it was because bird guns were popularized as early as the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It was unrealistic to ban them after the founding of the Manchu Tartars. Fortunately, the bird guns were too flawed and their power was not much stronger than bows and arrows, and they did not pose much threat to them, so they were not banned.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the pure Eight Banners of Manzhou were only 50,000 to 60,000, and even if the Eight Banners of Han were added, the Eight Banners of Mongolia were still only 1 million. The Han people could drown them with just one spit. The more advanced the weapons they were in the hands of the Han people, the more dangerous they were in the Manchus. The Tartar Emperor knew very well.

In order to ban this threat from the root, they strictly prohibited the spread of firearms on the one hand, and on the other hand, they did not even equip more advanced firearms to numb the Han people and think that Manchu and Han were one. Not only that, they almost all the cold weapons they used in the military academy. No matter how good the firearms were used, they could not be used as military academy. The system suppressed the further development of firearms and firearm tactics.

Under the layers of constraints, the Tartar emperor was still worried and still publicized in the army that the firearms were useless and the riding and shooting were invincible. He wanted to be ignorant of the Han military academies in terms of military thought. His intentions were really vicious!
