Chapter 976 Hauge Shocked

Outside Chenyang City, in the Qing army camp, the newly recruited Qing army was conducting queue exercises amid the whistles and stairs and drums.

Teams of Qing troops wearing cloth jackets were neatly stomped, and the school ground was dusty.

Haoge and Hong Chengchou looked at the new army training and were quite satisfied with the training of the soldiers. The team was already decent.

"The soldiers are well trained. According to this progress, they can form an army in three months!" Haoge was a little excited, "This Gao Barbarian does have a skill in training soldiers. According to the exercise points he made, I will be able to recover my troops soon."

Hong Chengchou didn't understand what Haoge had to be happy about. The advantages of the Qing Dynasty were those hunters who grew up in the white mountains and black waters, as well as the herdsmen on the grassland.

These hunters and herdsmen are born the best archers and the best cavalry. It takes at least three or four years for the same archers and cavalry. If the same equipment is one-on-one, the Ganjun will definitely not be the opponent of the Qing army.

Now that Gao Huan has developed this set of exercises, he can train a qualified musketeer in three months. The Manchu and Ganchao-Bi musketeer were unable to fight against Ganjun.

Because of Ganchao's huge financial resources and population base, the Qing Dynasty trained 10,000 people, and Ganzhou can train 100,000 people, which is impossible to compare.

Hong Chengchou understood the gap, but did not give Haugeti, for fear of damaging the confidence of the Manchu nobles.

Since Dorgon and Mandahai surrendered to Gao Huan and published various articles, people have been in turmoil within Manchuria, which made Hong Chengchou very worried that the Qing Dynasty would split and the voice of peace would appear.

For the Han people such as Hong Chengchou who defected to the Qing Dynasty, they could no longer go back.

Now Hong Chengchou will not allow the voice of surrender within the Qing Dynasty, and he will fight Gao Huan to the end.

Haoge did not notice Hong Chengchou's worries, but asked: "Sir Hong, how are the equipment of the new army prepared?"

After the Qing army retreated outside the pass, the taxes were greatly reduced, and it was impossible to rely on plunder to supplement the cost of the national treasury.

Recently, the Qing Dynasty bought guns and cannons and consumed a lot of money. The country's treasury had bottomed out and its military expenditure was limited, so life was only tight.

"Prince, this batch of new troops has been equipped with all the equipment, and I'm just waiting for the guns and cannons purchased from the Netherlands!" Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice.

Haoge frowned, pointed at the soldiers' simple equipment, and asked, "Don't you give them armor?"

Hong Chengchou explained: "Prince, musketeers can be trained in three months. A round of volleys on the battlefield will be reimbursed for most of them, which has become consumables. Even if they wear armor, they cannot withstand musketes. Anyway, the losses will be quick and replenished. I think there is no need to equip armor, a hat, a cloth hexagram or cotton jacket is enough."

After Hong Chengchou said this, he added, "The musketeers on Gao Huan's side are no longer equipped with armor!"

Hong Chengchou's words were completely against his will. Although the musketeers of the Ganjun did not have heavy armor, they wore disc helmets and cloth armor, and their defense was still very strong.

He said this entirely because the Qing Dynasty is too poor now and can only eat the old capital gained from robbery back then. He has no money to equip and armor, so he can only keep everything simple.

Now the Qing Dynasty can only dig some ginseng, sell some fur, and exchange for some silver, and life is very hard.

Haoge nodded when he heard this, "That's it! When will the Dutch guns arrive?"

When talking about this matter, Hong Chengchou looked worried, "It should have been early, but there is no news yet."

Haoge remembered the letter from Wakda not long ago, saying that Gan Chao might want to provoke trouble in North Korea. North Korean rebels emerged, and it seemed that Gan Chao's Military Information Department was in sight. However, because of the huge pressure, Haoge did not provide Wakda with support, but asked him to settle the North Korean rebels by himself.

"Is it because of North Korea's rebellion that affected the transportation of guns and cannons?" Haoge couldn't help frowning, "Sir Hong, do you think Gao Huan is impossible. Take Lushun's example to cross the sea to attack North Korea?"

Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "I thought Gao Huan was unlikely, so I sent a large army across the sea to North Korea!"

Haug asked, "Why?"

Hong Chengchou pondered: "First, Gao Huan is preparing to attack Zhang Xianzhong. If he sends troops to North Korea, if there are fewer people, we will be annihilated. If there are too many people, the attack on Zhang Xianzhong. Second, the Gan army has occupied Lushun. If they want to start a war, they will definitely increase their troops to Lushun. There is no need to leave the near and far."

After hearing this, Haoge nodded slightly, "After listening to Mr. Hong's analysis, I will feel relieved. If it were only a Korean, I believe that Wakda can resolve the Korean rebellion."

Hong Chengchou nodded, "The transportation team has heavy guards, and maybe it was disturbed, so the speed was slower. I have sent someone to pick him up, and the new army will be equipped with guns and cannons at the end of the month."

While talking, the two watched the training of the new army on the school field. At this moment, a general galloped outside the camp, quickly turned over and dismounted, and then walked over quickly.

"Prince, Master Hong." Jin Zhijun ran over and saluted: "I have an emergency military report!"

When Haoge and Hong Chengchou heard the words, they looked puzzled.

Haoge thought about where the military information was, and asked in a deep voice: "What military information?"

Kim Ji-jun gasped and said, "Report to the prince, it's North Korea! Something big happened in North Korea!"

"North Korea?" Haoge and Hong Chengchou exclaimed almost at the same time. They looked at each other, and a hint of panic appeared in their eyes.

Hong Chengchou had just finished analyzing and felt that something could happen to North Korea and Gao Huan would not send a large army to land on North Korea. He did not expect that the slap in the face was so quickly.

"General Jin, what big thing happened to North Korea?" Hong Chengchou asked anxiously.

Kim Zhijun said: "Ganguo sent Dorgon to North Korea, and Wakda was persuaded by him and surrendered to Seoul!"

"What?" Haoge's face was shocked, and he felt a stream of passion rushing to the top of his forehead. His eyes turned black, his body was shaking, and he almost felt blood in his brain, and he fainted.

Hong Chengchou was also shocked when he heard the words. Unexpectedly, Gao Huan actually sent Dorgon to North Korea and instigated Wakda.

This was definitely a huge blow to the Qing Dynasty.

"Prince, Gao Huan is sinister!" Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth, "He wanted to use Dorgon to split the Qing Dynasty. If Dorgon gained a foothold in North Korea and with his call, there would definitely be people who would go to surrender to Dorgon."

The Dorgon people were in charge of the dynasty, and their appeal to Manchu nobles was not very strong. After all, they were too far away. If Dorgon was placed in Korea and was close to the old nest of the Qing Dynasty, his appeal would be strong.

Haoge tried hard to calm himself down and prevent him from being angry. He was full of anger, "The man Gao actually dared to release Dorgon! That guy Wakda actually betrayed the Qing Dynasty."

Hong Chengchou said anxiously: "Prince, you must not allow them to gain a foothold in North Korea. You must destroy them immediately and stop this surrender atmosphere!"
