Chapter 437: Between Life and Death

Guanyin Bodhisattva bless you, Guanyin Bodhisattva bless you...

Ma Yunshan kept silently reciting in his heart that nothing would happen to this gun. If something really happened, the lives of dozens of people in the family would be explained here. Including the thousands of people in the Crafts Office, I am afraid that no one can survive.

The second shot went very smoothly, and Dorgon was also excited and nothing happened, which made Ma Yunshan almost shed tears.

"It's really amazing. If my Qing officers and soldiers could have all equipped this weapon, what would the soldiers of the Southern Ming be worth? Lord Ma can be said to be the recreational minister of my Qing Dynasty. If you didn't make this kind of musket, I really don't know how to fight the battle after the battle was fought. Don't worry, I will never forget your efforts."

Dorgon said happily, originally thinking of getting a few more shots, but the white smoke from this musket was very pungent, so Dorgon didn't have the time to continue experimenting.

This is already very good, much better than before, and this kid Ma Yunshan has definitely made great contributions.

"Regent, be careful. This musket is different from other weapons. If you are a little careless, the barrel of this musket is likely to burn you. After each shot, the barrel of this musket is very hot. Should I give it to my servant first?"

Ma Yunshan can't hire him now, so the others have to quickly get the musket back. If the princes behind him take it and fire two shots casually, the crisis they had survived before would come back.

Indeed, some Qing generals had this idea. They had fought a war for life and were defeated by the Southern Ming army on the battlefield. They also wanted to see where this thing was. Why did the brave and warlike Eight Banners Cavalry not do it when they saw them?

However, after hearing Ma Yunshan's words, he found that there was a red color in the barrel, so these people didn't want to fiddle with this thing anymore. Moreover, the smell of gunpowder just now was really too bad.

What's more, Dorgon just hit the target. If you can't hit it with one shot, it's a matter of losing it. After entering the capital, these people also understand what it means to be without mistakes...

"Mr. Ma is still thoughtful. If this is the case, please take it down and put it in place properly. You can come to the pavilion here with me. I have something to ask you."

After seeing the effectiveness of the musket, Dorgon had to ask some other things. After all, no matter how powerful this thing is, it must have a certain number. There is not much time left now, and the Southern Ming army has already reached Tongzhou.

Ma Yunshan and others were all relieved. As long as you no longer tried to hit the musket, you could say anything. After all, those things were just randomly reported.

Everyone, including other generals, was in a good mood at this moment. After all, they had never seen the real thing before, and they did not believe these Han people.

I think these people just take money and don’t do anything, so they can’t create them at all. But the two shots just now made them understand that these Han people were really created. If there were enough numbers, what would the Southern Ming army be afraid of? Then we will also have a military with muskets...

"Don't be so reserved. You are all heroes of the court. These days have been hard. Don't worry, the court will definitely keep all this in mind and will also write a lot for you in history books in the future."

Seeing that the officials in the following office were a little restrained, Dorgon also tried hard to keep himself peaceful, but this guy never smiled. Even if he tried hard to pretend, the people below could not laugh.

Of course, in addition to Dorgon's majesty, they have another layer of worry in their hearts. After all, the thing in front of them is an illusion. If it is exposed by others, the higher you praise you now, and how bad you will fall when you fall down in the future.

"Slaves are waiting to thank the Regent."

So I have all kinds of worries in my heart, but the etiquette that should be had is still not enough. Fortunately, these guys also learned it before, otherwise they would be happy now.

Ma Yunshan was the most afraid of it at this moment. When he took the gun from Dorgon just now, he looked carefully at the position of the barrel. There were already some tiny cracks.

Of course, if you don't look carefully, you will definitely not be able to see it. If Dorgon fired another shot, Dorgon would probably die with that gun.

After studying for so long, Ma Yunshan felt ashamed of such a batch of defective products, but the problem was that he could not find a solution. He was actually wondering how the Southern Ming Dynasty court created it?

It turns out that he also knew some of the techniques of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he was not the most advanced, it would not be so different from the most advanced.

"Dear friends, I believe everyone understands the current situation. Because of muskets, we have retreated to Tongzhou now. If there is no new force coming in, the capital may not be able to be saved. Therefore, I have always been concerned about the muskets in your hands. How many have been made now? How fast can your manufacturing speed be? When the door is closed, we are all our own people. Your answer will affect my national policy, so we must answer truthfully."

Dorgon was also saying that he was sincere and thoughtful. Everything he said was true. Now he put all his hopes on this musket. If the number of muskets is not large enough, then there may be no other use.

But if we could arm an army of 10,000 or 20,000, plus the impact of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, our combat power would be completely different at that time. Even if the people from the Southern Ming court fought at the capital, Dorgon would have the confidence to deal with them.

After hearing this, these people from the Chuangye Office looked at Ma Yunshan at the same time.

We are all working. Even when the Regent was rewarded just now, you were at the forefront. Even if you lied to the Regent, it would be said from your mouth. We must not be ahead.

When Ma Yunshan saw this situation, he knew that he could not escape. He secretly cursed his subordinates in his heart, and was also thinking about how to make excuses for this matter...
