However, the Qing Dynasty was not idle, and they were also actively responding. Last year, Dorgon was deceived by Liu Pei! Because Liu Pei sent a spy to sell the iron mold casting cannon to the Qing Dynasty!

After Dorgon obtained the method of casting cannons, he felt like he was very treasured! He immediately began to raise craftsmen to cast cannons. At the same time, he also started to build fire guns! But soon Dorgon discovered that something seemed to be wrong!

Because he does not have a good steel formula, all artillery must be cast in copper. But China is a country that lacks copper. Even though there are many copper mines in the Northeast, they are buried very deeply and cannot be found at all!

So Dorgon had to collect copper ware and coins to cast cannons. Even the Buddha statues in the temple were removed and melted! Now a very big problem occurred in the Qing Dynasty's ruling area!

The first problem is that after the copper coins were raising, a serious economic regression occurred! Without copper coins, their internal transactions had to return to the point of using things, which greatly hindered the development of the economy.

The collection of a large number of bronze ware has seriously affected the lives of the people, especially the lives of the powerful and powerful. You should know that bronze ware was still a very heavy household utensil at that time.

Without copper pots, copper basins, and bronze mirrors, the quality of life of the powerful people was greatly affected! So they complained about Dorgon! If they hadn't been intimidated by the majesty of the Regent, they would have had a stir!

At the same time, Dorgon saw the power of cannons, but he didn't know that it was very difficult to cast the cannons! Not only did you have drawings, manufacturing methods, and copper materials. The experience and skills of craftsmen are indispensable. However, there are no craftsmen in Northeast China to cast cannons, so although he cast a large number of cannons, not many of them can be used. If the copper materials could not be melted repeatedly, Dorgon would have gone bankrupt long ago!

Moreover, even those qualified artillery are thick, heavy, and inconvenient to transport. The range is far inferior to that of Liu Pei's artillery.

Also, although the artillery was cast, the operation of the artillery was a problem! Without skilled artillery, the artillery was equivalent to a large artillery! And it was

Maybe he would blow up his own firecracker! So the newly built Wuzhenchao camp also made Dorgon spend all his time!

Not only did he encounter problems in casting artillery, but the casting of the muskets was also very unsuccessful! Originally, Dorgon found that it was very easy to control the muskets, even minors could use it. So he originally planned to organize a group of Han military flags and Manchu teenagers to use muskets. After all, a soldier needs long-term training to fight, and musket soldiers only need simple training.

But what he didn't expect was that building a musket requires a lot of iron, which conflicted with other cast weapons and armor. Dorgon could barely accept this, as long as it was coordinated, but he was angry that he only had the most primitive mesh rope gun here!

There were several flintlock guns seized by Liu Pei in Germany. But when he was about to imitate, he found that it was impossible to imitate! Because Liu Pei used high-quality steel to build a musket, the musket was naturally light and sturdy!

And he only knocked out iron materials by hand, and the quality is completely different! So the muskets he made here are thick and heavy! And the lead bullets he used are relatively small in weight and have a relatively close range.

But what drove Dorgon the most crazy was that he couldn't make the springs on the new musket! You know, Liu Pei was only able to mass produce this kind of spring, and the springs he used now are all modern products!

So he could only make old-fashioned mesh guns, which resulted in the soldiers having to carry heavy mesh ropes to the battlefield. Therefore, the musket troops he organized were useless, which instead affected the construction of other weapons and armor!

At the same time, Dorgon's military force and military plundered people everywhere and affected the production of food, resulting in a further reduction in grain output! As one goes up and down, he didn't even have any reserves of grain! So even if he won this battle, he probably wouldn't have the spare energy to counterattack! In this way, Dorgon was worried about labor under internal and external difficulties, and looked like he was over 10 years old!

At this time, Dorgon was losing his temper against a group of Eight Banners generals! Because the goal he set was not achieved.

Dorgon scolded them from above, and the generals below all lowered their heads. But if you look up from below

You will find that everyone's expressions are different. Some are depressed, some are proud, and some are gloating!

This is not surprising, because Dorgon became the regent, which was the result of a compromise after a power contest, so many people who were unwilling to obey Dorgon! Fortunately, Dorgon also knew the importance of unity at this time, so he did not cleanse those people, but instead tried to tolerate the people of various factions, so all parties were still at peace for a while. But he had a lot of trouble here, so he naturally saw that there were many people who were younger!

At this time, Dorgon had already scolded everyone. He was so frustrated that he picked up the cold tea and took a few sips before extinguishing the anger in his heart! The general who was scolded dared to whisper: "Your Majesty, it's not that slave is not careful. It's really that the iron ore has been mined almost all the time! In addition, the number of Aha is getting smaller and smaller now, so there is no way for the iron material to be supplied for a moment! If the prince can allocate five hundred Aha for me, the iron ore production can increase a little more!"

Dorgon put down his teacup and said, "Where will I find someone for you now? Now people are needed everywhere, not only are you short of people!"

He heard Dorgon say this, and stared at him and said, "Prince, many people still have many Ahas in their families. They just do some miscellaneous work all day long. It's better to transfer a group of people to hand it over to the slaves!"

This general was brave enough to take responsibility, and he actually dared to mention this! The Ahas he mentioned were slaves of the Eight Banners and the powerful families. But how could those powerful people hand over their subordinates to Dorgon? Even Dorgon didn't dare to speak at this time!

Moreover, after this man said this, some people in the surrounding crowd looked at him with malicious eyes. I guess if this man goes to the battlefield in the future, someone might shoot him in the black gun behind him!

Dorgon knew that this man was considering himself, so he naturally wanted to protect him. So he said slowly: "Don't mention this! I'll find another way to do if you lack personnel."
