Beijing, Bauhinia City, is covered in a vast layer of white snow.

South of the Qing Dynasty capital, the Qing army had a large camp called Fengtai camp.

Several Eight Banners soldiers were stationed here to protect Beijing City. Because the Eight Banners were a privileged class, since the Qing army was stationed, the people around them often suffered disasters and gradually fled near Fengtai.

Over time, the surrounding Fengtai Camp became sparsely populated.

Last year, the few people around were driven away by the Qing army, making the camp within ten miles of the radius of the camp, and the people were forbidden from approaching the camp.

This makes people wonder what secrets are in Fengtai Camp.

In the early morning, Dorgon took a carriage and surrounded by many guards, he left Beijing City and went to Fengtai Camp to inspect the Eight Banners training.

Dorgon said he was the Regent, but in fact he was equivalent to the Manchu emperor. The frame he was riding on was the same as the emperor, very wide, like a moving palace.

At this time, in the carriage pulled by six strong horses, Doer rolled in his hands and sat in the carriage holding the stove, with no expression on his face.

In the carriage, there was a man wearing a black official robe, with animals on his chest, large strings of court beads, bowls and hats, and flower feathers that only Manchu nobles could fit.

This person was Hong Chengchou, because he had made contributions to contacting the Dutch and supervising the construction of firearms. In addition, in the Qing court, he supported Dorgon's grand strategy of unifying the world and regained Dorgon's favor.

"The Regent, Zhejiang was occupied by Zhu Yihai, and the pirate Zhao Tiebang occupied the three prefectures of Su Songchang. Most of the land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were owned by the thieves. Previously, Jiangnan was a place with heavy taxes, money, and grain. Now, not only can't provide money, food, but also requires the court to invest money. The Ministry of Revenue may not be able to make ends meet this year!" Hong Chengchou's old horse knew the way, and was depressed, and was worried about the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon's face was gloomy, "A few days ago, Feng Quan sent a memorial to the king that the money and grain of the Ministry of Revenue was difficult to maintain expenses. He suggested that the king reduce the consumption of the Ministry of Works and first meet the money and grain required by Jiangnan, Huguang, Jiangxi and Sichuan."

Now there is a tug-of-war between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the battlefield is intertwined, but when it comes to enlargement, it is still a line, in a straight line.

At this time, the Ming army and the Qing army confronted each other mainly four battlefields. The Qing army still maintained a huge advantage in Huguang and Jiangxi, but in Sichuan and Jiangnan, its advantages were gradually lost.

Needless to say, the Zhejiang Ming army had more than 200,000 people, and became the strong enemy of the Qing army. The Qing army was unable to destroy the Zhejiang army for a while.

The Sichuan battlefield was full of accidents. Neither Dorgon nor the Qing Dynasty expected that Sun Kewang, who had been living in Yunnan and Guizhou for several years, would suddenly send troops to enter Sichuan.

The Western Army's attack was too sudden, and the Qing army was completely unprepared. When the Qing army reacted, the eastern and southern Sichuan areas had all fallen into the hands of the Western Army.

Fortunately, Wu Sangui was in charge in Chengdu, so the Qing army saved Chengdu and northern Sichuan, and defeated the Western Army General Liu Wenxiu in Longquan Town, Chengdu Prefecture, and stabilized the situation.

The Western Army suddenly appeared, and a lot of troops were divided into the Qing Dynasty, and it also restrained Wu Sangui, the elite troops, making the Qing Dynasty's court mobilized its troops, becoming too short of supplies.

Because of huge investments in all battlefields and production in the north has not yet fully recovered, after losing Su Song's heavy taxes, the financial situation of the Qing Dynasty immediately deteriorated, so Feng Quan proposed to reduce the recent huge expenses of the Ministry of Industry.

Hong Chengchou had received this news a long time ago, so he wrote to Dorgon several times recently, asking Dorgon to inspect the Han army's Zhenglan Banner in Fengtai Camp, which was trained with new firearms, and test Dorgon's words to understand whether Dorgon had the intention to reduce the expenses of the Ministry of Works.

At this time, Hong Chengchou heard Dorgon's words and couldn't help but say: "Prince, the Ministry of Works has consumed a lot of money in the recent casting of firearms. However, the main cost is actually an agreement with the Red and Mao Yi. They must purchase their firearms and warships before they can provide drawings for the Qing Dynasty and send craftsmen. Now the Ministry of Works is about to fully control the Red and Mao Yi's casting technology. It won't take long. The Ministry of Works can cast it on its own even without the help of Hong Mao Yi. The cost will be reduced at that time. The prince must not give up halfway!"

Dorgon had a calm face and did not express his opinion. At this moment, the curtain of the car was lifted up, and the Han army's main blue banner Gushan Bayan said: "Your Majesty, you have arrived at Fengtai Camp."

At that moment, Dorgon got off the carriage, wearing martened and fur, and walked into Fengtai camp with snow. He heard the sound of guns and cannons coming from the camp from afar.

"Prince, the warriors practice day and night. Now it's been more than half a year. The servant has the confidence to fight Zhao Zamao." Bayan nodded and said.

Dorgon looked at him and was a little surprised, "Zhao Zamao is the confidant of this king. Do you have such confidence?"

Dorgon once watched the Red-Farewell Musket test fire, and felt that it was indeed stronger than the bird gun. He was indeed shocked at that time. However, in Dorgon's subconscious, he actually believed more that the Eight Banners Warriors had the ability to be unparalleled in cavalry, shooting, and shooting.

"Prince, the firearms used by Zhao Zamao and the firearms used by us are all from Hongmao Yi. The slaves and Hongmao Yi help to train, how can't we fight Zhao Zamao?" Bayan was full of confidence.

He is Li Lutai's younger brother, and Li Lutai died at the hands of Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming, and Bayan hated them to the core.

Dorgon showed a rare smile on his face, and immediately waved his hand, "Okay, I will go and see how the warriors of the Qing Dynasty practiced."

At the moment, a group of people walked into the camp on the snow and came to the school ground. They saw the Qing army of the Zhenglan Banner divided into several strands and were performing exercises.

The soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner wearing blue armor and holding flintlock guns were arranged in neat military formations. In front of each military formation, there was a red-haired ghost who was directing the training.

Nowadays, we can see whether the army is elite, whether the military formation is standing strictly, and whether it is erect and stern, and whether it is erected in spirit, and whether it is erected in spirit.

The Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army was the earliest flag of the Han Army to be broken among the eight banners. Now most of the newly selected flags were newly selected and had not experienced many wars.

Therefore, Dorgon looked at it and looked at the aura of the soldiers, but was not satisfied. He did not see the murderous aura of the old Eight Banners, but he looked at the formation and stood up very strictly.

Dorgon looked at the various military formations, unable to see any tricks. At this time, Hong Chengchou said a few words to Bayan, and Bayan left immediately.

Soon, Qing soldiers inserted dense wooden targets on the school ground. A team of Qing army flintlock gunmen stood in three rows, with three cannons on each side, and formed military formations to advance towards the shooting range.

At some point, Bayan ran back and said to Dorgon: "Prince, you can't see the real skills in the formation drill. The slave asked the warriors to demonstrate a volley of guns. The prince knew that what the slave said was true."
