    "Your grandfather Nurhaci is just a soldier of Uncle Li's family in Tieling. My general's uncle is an authentic descendant of the Li family in Tieling! According to your Manchu barbarian rules, how dare you be so presumptuous when you meet your old master?!" "  If you want to fight, fight! My general said that although he is not as good as my eldest marshal, he can train the people of the mountains and forests into an elite force that dares to charge with artillery fire, but he also has an elite army by his side, and he is more than enough to fight you.  ! Just come and fight!¡± Thousands of officers and soldiers raised their voices, exposing the private past of Nurhaci¡¯s family to the broad daylight.  However, it can be said that Li Huabao kept his words and did not publicize the emotional entanglements between Nurhaci's mother Xitala and Li Chengliang that moved the world, or the behavior that was very popular among the people with low appreciation levels.  Public.  During their adolescence, the brothers had often heard about this matter from their second uncle who had no sense of moral integrity, gesticulating and gesticulating in a lively manner, which made all the brothers blush.  However, these words seemed extremely mean and mean to the Qing army.  The right way is to hit people, don't slap them in the face and scold them, don't expose their shortcomings.  You, Li Huabao, wantonly exposed in front of hundreds of thousands of people the time when others worked as slaves in your family before they became successful. Isn't this not good?  After all, no one has the psychological quality of Zhu Yuanzhang, so he openly told the world that I came from a miserable background. He didn¡¯t even have a grave when his father died. He worked as a monk, had to make meals, and worked as a personal soldier for others, and he gradually reached the throne of the emperor.  .  If this were placed in America, he would definitely be the leading actor in an inspirational drama that has been written about as a personal struggle just like Lincoln and Carter.  Unfortunately, in the mouths of some conscientious young historical inventors, he is called a bastard of thieves.  Among the Green Flag Soldiers present, the officers had heard more or less about the struggles of the Qing emperor's family, and also knew how the Nurhachi family gradually transformed from a local official in a small border area to a serious problem in Liaodong, and finally became a  The owner of the throne in Beijing.  Today, after hearing the loud propaganda from the Hongwu Army opposite, many officers suddenly realized!  "It turns out that the so-called thirteen pairs of armors raised an army and so on, there is no secret behind it! Thinking about what Uncle Li Li Chengliang did back then, it was almost the same as when we sent his subordinates to pretend to be thieves and rob houses and houses! Let the subordinates go out to toss, and the noise of the tossing is small  Now, you can make a fortune, and if there is a lot of noise, you can ask the imperial court for military pay and officials, and then just make peace with the imperial court and then report the victory to the imperial court! Otherwise, where can a boy like Danu, whose grandfather and father were killed, go?  Looking for thirteen pairs of armor? "It's made in the old Ming Dynasty. It's okay if you have artillery at home, but you are not allowed to hide the armor privately.  Therefore, for a high-ranking official whose grandfather and father had just been killed, the origins of these thirteen pieces of armor were very suspicious.  "Hey! A chieftain's family actually has so many armors. I have been in this position for several generations, and I don't have that many servants in full armor!" A general laughed in his heart, "It turns out there is some secret!" Bye!  Due to the popularity of all kinds of pornography since the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the daily actions of these officers and generals, many people have begun to imagine what might happen to Nurhachi when he became a soldier.  Kind of a plot.  "Li Huabao! You bastard!" Bolo's face turned blue, white, and red. Being scolded in public about your ancestor's private past is even more excessive than Li Huabao repeatedly slapping him in front of him.  .  Over the years, the elders in his family have told him how his grandfather and fathers fought countless battles to gain this inheritance. He also worked hard for this inheritance, fighting around the clock day and night.  However, the palace in his heart was turned into rubble by Li Huabao's few words, with mud, dirty water and dust everywhere, and mice and cockroaches running rampant.  "Drumming! Send the order! The artillery team fires! This general must get the head of the barbarian Li Huabao today!" The thunderous drum sound was intensively beaten by several shirtless drummers holding drumsticks, using  The sound of a huge war drum made of a whole cowhide dispersed the last bit of rain in the sky, and the sun finally revealed his true appearance.  After the artillery team's position was busy for a while, a deafening sound of artillery was emitted. The ten mighty general cannons roared one after another, spraying thick white smoke forward. The thick smoke and dust instantly covered the thick figures of each artillery piece.  Ten cannons weighing more than ten kilograms roared towards Shanghai County in the distance!  In the Qing army¡¯s front, more than 100,000 people followed the trajectory of these artillery shells with their eyes fixed.  Because these heavy artillery pieces use a four-wheel grindstone gun mount and dig holes and piles, after the artillery is fixed, the muzzle angle can only be adjusted up and down, and it is difficult to move left and right. In other words, the artillery only has a height machine and no direction machine.  The flight trajectory of the artillery shells is relatively fixed, and the range where the first round of artillery fires is quite critical.  As the first cannonball landed on the city wall, a burst of cheers erupted from the Qing army formation.    The first hit is the first to win.  What's more, these Shenwei general cannons are also tasked with conducting test firings for the entire army's artillery fleet.  To this end, Bolo specially dispatched his most powerful artillery lineup, gunners transferred from the command of Kong Youde, King of Dingnan!  As the first artillery shell fell on the wall of Shanghai County, in just a moment, the Qing army's large and small artillery positions were filled with deafening gunfire, and waves of large and small iron balls rushed to the Hongwu Army position.  Come.  The Qing army first fired a cannon with ten Shenwei generals, and then every ten artillery pieces were used as a unit. The large and small artillery were divided into categories according to the range and weight of the cannons, so as to suppress the city head and the city.  Hongwu Army artillery outside.  On the top of the city, a heavy solid iron ball bounced on the city wall, throwing up smoke and dust along the way, and there was blood in the rolling motion.  However, there was no retaliatory artillery fire at the top of the city, and there was no longer the sharp-toothed yelling just now.  It seemed that the Qing army's roaring and intensive artillery fire made the officers and soldiers of the Hongwu Army lose their ideas and became confused.  "Hmph! No matter how strong a hero you are, no matter what kind of city you are, you can just put a hundred red barbarian cannons in a row and blast them for a few days, are you afraid that you won't surrender?!" The weapons of criticism are far inferior to the criticism of weapons.  The effect is direct.  Just one round of artillery fire left Shanghai County stunned.  Pingnan General Bolo expressed his satisfaction.  In his opinion, this small seaside town could be bombarded by artillery fire for half a day before the army could cover it up. "Li Huabao, either you die in battle, or you jump into the sea and escape!" Bolo arranged two options for Li Huabao.  Shanghai County was built in the 32nd year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally used to "prepare for Japanese invaders". The city is nine miles in circumference, the city wall is two feet high and has six gates, large and small, four in the southeast and northwest, named Chaozong, Kuahai, and  There are Yifeng Gate, Yanhai Gate, and Baodai Gate and Chaoyang Gate, commonly known as Xiaodongmen and Xiaonanmen.  Because it is close to the river and the sea, the Qing army only needs to attack the city walls on the west and north sides, leaving the east and south sides.  Of course, that business district that everyone in the Qing army coveted contained the essence of the southeastern wealth.  It is said that the ground is paved with gold and silver, the trees are wrapped with silk, mountains of grain are piled up, and rivers of strong liquor flow.  "If you invest 50,000 soldiers and horses at one time, I don't believe it. This small county town can't be taken!" Bolo made up his mind. Even if it was filled with the corpses of these 50,000 people, he would fill up the whole city outside Shanghai.  Even if he piled 50,000 corpses into the trench, he still had to create a passage into Shanghai City.  On the river, more than a dozen crab boats can clearly distinguish the gender of the sailors standing on the deck of Li Huamei's fleet, but they can't tell the difference from their facial features.  "That's almost it, each ship is loading!" A command flag waved, and the gunmen on each ship, which were installed on the bracket between the main mast and the foremast, pulled off the gun head caps and removed the feathers at the gun door.  , use a long bougie to start loading. The lead bullet, which weighs close to two taels, is stuffed into the three-meter-long blunderbuss tube. Use the bougie to carefully build it firmly to prevent poor contact between the gunpowder and the projectile, resulting in  The potency of the medicine cannot be fully exerted.  On both sides of the gun bearer, eight sword and shield soldiers holding shields shielded the left and right sides, guarding the gun bearer.  They also have a role, which is to act as a pick-and-roll team.  These crabs are used for both sails and oars. In addition to the sails on the mast, there are more than a dozen wooden oars protruding from the sides of the ship. The oarsmen were sweating profusely and rowing hard amidst the shouts of the officers.  This design came from the Portuguese among the Dengzhou soldiers under Kong Youde.  They presented the design of the Calais galley, which was presented to the regent Dorgon by King Kong Youde of Dingnan.  Dorgon ordered the construction to start in shipyards in Lianghuai, Jining and other places.  The wood chosen is pine, which is naturally not a good wood. However, the philosophy above and below is the same: "As long as the boat is easy to use at the mouth of rivers and seas, and can catch up and fight, as for how long it can be used and how long it can withstand  Being unable to withstand artillery fire is the fault of these sailors!" Even so, this fast crab boat costs more than 2,000 silver dollars when fully equipped.  With the help of the wind and the frantic waving of the long wooden oars by the oarsmen, more than ten crabs have rushed into the formation of the fleet.  The leading officer ordered Li Yun, squinted his eyes and looked at the distance between the two fleets, "Six hundred steps," "Four hundred and fifty steps!" This distance was far beyond the effective killing range of the raised gun, even if it was  Opening fire would only scratch the itch of the Aomei and other warships.  "Four hundred steps!" "Three hundred and fifty steps! Attention, all ships! Set up guns!" Following his order, the gunmen of each ship and the front shooters adjusted the shoulder pads sewn with cotton cloth on their shoulders.  , assumed a lunge position, with both feet firmly fixed on the ship's board, and used a wide cloth strap to tightly combine the gun barrel with his own shoulder.  "Aim!" As he spoke,The distance between the two fleets was shortened to more than 200 steps, which was within the effective range of the gun.  The gunmen held the butts of their guns and took advantage of the height difference between the former shooter's height and themselves to aim at the deck of the Hongwu warship, searching for valuable shooting targets.  "Miss! The Qing army's boat has rushed in! Please take shelter for a while!" The fat-headed fish pulled Li Huamei and tried to pull her into the cabin to temporarily avoid the edge.  "This is the gunship of the Qing army. If you pass on the order, my eldest brother will die in the hands of these thieves. I will not retreat, so as not to give these thieves the money to talk. You want to let me  If the officer is safe, let me beat these thieves into the river to feed the pig dragon!" Li Huamei wore a murderous mask on her eyes, and she really had the aura of a scarlet-winged tiger!  Li Huamei herself is the daughter of Liang Guogong. She was a princess who was certified and canonized by the imperial court when Emperor Chongzhen was still alive. Although she changed dynasties several times, her title was not affected at all. Instead, as Li Shouhan's status improved, she was constantly awarded the title of honorary guard of food, salary, etc.  .  However, what Li Huamei cares about most is her own mission, the forward commander of the Hongwu Army Navy.  This is an errand that is not within the imperial official system.  ¡°Moreover, when faced with the title of captain of her own soldiers, she calls herself an officer and does not think that I am your eldest lady. This already shows her attitude.  When you board the Aomei number, you will not have the princess or the eldest daughter of Liang Guogong Li Shouhan, only your commander Li Huamei!  And she mentioned Li Huayu, who died young because of raising a gun, which was a deep-seated hatred of the entire Hongwu Army system.  "Please rest assured, sir! Today is the day to avenge my uncle! Our subordinates will definitely make these ships irrecoverable!" Lan Wanzhong, the gunnery officer of the Aomei, opened his eyes wide and almost burst into flames.  Come.  He also responded to Li Huamei with his military title.  "Every gun is in position!" "Get ready!" "Fire!" "Fire!" Li Huamei's fleet and Eheli's Crab Fleet issued the command to fire almost at the same time.  For a time, two ounces of gun pellets and one ounce of artillery shells were flying back and forth across the river, making it a lively fight.  On the Crab Boat, sailors and oarsmen were constantly hit by shotguns and fell into the water. Big pools of blood appeared in the river, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.  On the deck of the warship, sailors were hit by lead bullets from their guns from time to time. They looked at the expanding blood stains on their chests and abdomens in shock and felt helpless.  Others fell in a pool of blood, screaming miserably.  The lead bullets from the guns hit their arms, shattering them into pieces, leaving some broken limbs beside them.  "Fight! Fight hard!" "Fight! Fight hard! Prosperity, wealth and money are the result of fighting!" The officers on both sides were desperately motivating their subordinates.  After a round of shooting, the disadvantage of the Crab Boat became apparent.  This kind of ship is fast, but it has almost no protective measures, and it is suppressed and beaten by the Hongwu Army's ships from a high position.  Within a distance of one to two hundred steps, although it is the best range for raising a gun, it is also the killing range of Hongwu Army artillery shells.  The gun positions on the gunboat are protected by deck boards. Unless lead bullets fly directly into the gun holes, it will be difficult to cause damage to the gunners.  However, those shotguns are different against the sword and shield soldiers and gunmen on the Crab Boat.  The shotguns flying everywhere put great psychological pressure on the gunmen who were working hard to reload after firing a shot. Many gunmen were frightened and could not perform 10% of the skills they usually practiced.  Those soldiers on the ship who were unlucky enough to be hit by shotguns and fell to the ground wailing added to the strong psychological pressure, and their hands and feet became slower and slower.  "Throw the rope net and prepare to join the gang!" Ling Tiyun saw that his side was suffering more and more casualties, almost one-sided casualties. He made a prompt decision and ordered each ship to throw the rope net and prepare to let the sword and shield soldiers join the gang.  Use the big sword and ax in your hand to kill the navy on the gunboat.  "Boom! Boom!" Streams of water splashed between the Crab Boat and the Hongwu Army warship. From far to near, dozens of Qing army ships, under the command of Eheli's tugboat, headed toward Li Huamei.  The Aomei approached and fired.  These sand ships are the main fleet of the Qing Navy.  They use ships as units and are equipped with varying numbers of artillery. Although most of them are arranged at the bow and stern of the ship, they are better than having more ships.  Moreover, they also have highly skilled observers who are used to calculate the shooting elements and arrange how many medicine packs to fill.  Although the medicine bags are not as luxurious as those of Hongwu Army, which uses coarse silk medicine bags made from castor silkworm cocoons, they are also cotton medicine bags.  In addition to telescopes, the observers on each ship also have a series of sets of square and round instruments.  These gunners are the essence of artillery collected by Dorgon from various places since entering the customs. On these people, the Qing army spent a lot of money.  Houses, fields, money, slaves, women, official positions, whatever you want, you will have, as long as you are willing to work hard for me!These gunners also knew what their own assets were to survive in the Qing army. At this time, naturally they all performed very hard and fired their artillery fast and accurately.  Several artillery shells fell on the deck of the Hongwu Army's gunboat, and immediately exploded into countless wood fragments. The shells bounced and rolled around. Two sailors were rolled off their calves by the shells, and they fell on the deck crying.  A cannonball landed on the lower deck of the bridge of the Aomei. The deck wood chips and large amounts of dust that were splashed by the cannonball rose into the air and fell on Li Huamei's head. On her cloak, coupled with the gunpowder smoke from the artillery, Li Huamei's face was blown away.  His face was stained black and white.  "Master General!" Fathead Fish rushed forward with several of his soldiers, trying to use their bodies to shield Li Huamei from the danger that might come.  "Go away! Don't block me!" Li Huamei scolded fiercely.  The action of the fat-headed fish blocked her sight, "The shells that can kill me haven't been built yet!" "Alas! What a pity!" Ling Tiyun also saw this scene on the Aomei and couldn't help but exclaimed what a pity.  "Brothers, hurry up! If you start late, your credit will be taken away by others!" He struggled to throw out a rope net with an iron hook, and the iron hook hung diagonally on the side of the Aomei.  "Damn! You bunch of thieves who don't know how to die!" Fathead Fish cursed and pulled out a double-barreled short fire blunderbuss from the wide leather belt around his waist, "Go! Kill those thieves for me!" "  Just a little bit! Minions, fight hard! The glory and wealth of your descendants are in your hands!" Eheli saw Li Huamei almost being hit on his ship, and couldn't help shouting, urging his men to get on board.
