If Dorgon has a good sense of people and reuses Tang Ruowang, I'm afraid it will be really troublesome, because Tang Ruowang really has the ability to raise the level of Jiannu's firearms to a big level.

If this is the case, we will really enter the age of firearms!

From now on it will be a war between guns and steel.

…

"Tang Ruowang, is this a new almanac written by you?"

Dorgon looked solemnly at the thick stack of almanacs that Tang Ruowang had just presented.

Chinese civilization has paid attention to respecting heaven and ancestors since ancient times. Dorgon was deeply influenced by Han culture and attached great importance to the compilation of almanacs, because almanacs represent heaven and belong to heaven's will!

If a dynasty does not even have its own almanac, it is not an orthodox dynasty.

Therefore, the first thing Dorgon did after taking control of Beijing was to find someone from Qintian Prison to rewrite the almanac.

After spending more than a year, Tang Ruowang finally compiled 108 volumes of the "New Almanac" based on the "Chongzhen Almanac" and presented it to Dorgon for his imperial reading.

"Back to your Majesty the Imperial Father and the Regent." Tang Ruowang said with great respect, "This is the new almanac specially compiled by me for the Qing Dynasty. The book has a total of 108 volumes. Please ask the Holy Judge."

"Okay, I will find time to read this almanac as soon as possible."

Yes, Dorgon has begun to openly call himself me. Since the young emperor of Shunzhi calls him Huang Ama, what reason does he have for not calling himself me? It makes no sense.

And Bumbutai is also his queen now.

Now, Dorgon actually just needs an enthronement ceremony.

However, Dorgon hesitated whether to take this final step.

Mainly because the young emperor Shunzhi and Bumubutai were too docile, so it seems that maintaining this situation is a good result, because even if he ascends the throne, he does not intend to abolish Shunzhi.

Yes, Dorgon has changed his mind. He no longer thinks about making Duduo the emperor Taiji, or adopting one of Duduo's sons as his stepson, and then making his stepson the prince. That is not as effective as directly making Shunzhi the prince.

How good is it? Maybe he is not more filial than Shunzhi, but Shunzhi is really filial to him now.

Sometimes Dorgon would even have the illusion that Shunzhi was his son.

Tang Ruowang added: "Your Majesty the Imperial Father and the Regent, I have two more books to present."

After saying that, Tang Ruowang took out two more thread-bound books from his sleeves and said: "These two books, one is the Fire Attack Deed, and the other is Kunyu Gezhi. Among them, Kunyu Gezhi has a total of twelve volumes. This time I

I only brought the first volume."

"Fire attack contract?" Dorgon's eyes lit up and he asked, "Introducing Western firearms?"

"Yes, the Fire Attack Deed mainly introduces Europa's artillery technology." Tang Ruowang said, "This Kunyu Gezhi is the "Encyclopedia of Mining and Metallurgy" by Agricola, a Prussian mining and metallurgist, translated by me.

It introduces a large amount of metallurgical knowledge in detail. If this book is promulgated, it can greatly improve the level of mining and metallurgy in the Qing Dynasty."

Dorgon's heart moved when he heard this, and then asked: "Tang Ruowang, do you know about firearms?"

"I understand a little bit." Tang Ruowang smiled slightly and added, "I dare not hide it from your Majesty the Imperial Father and the Regent. I once supervised the construction of cannons for Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and its performance is far superior to other artillery."

Dorgon was even more delighted when he heard this, now he had found a treasure.

Although Kong Youde and others can also cast cannons, they can only imitate the gourd and ask them to improve the performance of the red cannon, which is beyond their ability. I hope Tang Ruowang will not let him down again.

Then there is the improvement of matchlock guns. The reason why this southern expedition failed, according to Duduo, was mainly because the Ming army's firearms were too powerful, especially the Crouching Tiger Cannon and Lumi Gun.

At that moment Dorgon asked: "Tang Ruowang, can you build an artillery that is as light as the Tiger Crouching Cannon but more powerful? Can you also build a Western gun that is more powerful than the Lumi Gun?"

Tang Ruowang thought for a while and said: "I have never seen a cannon similar to the Crouching Tiger Cannon in the West. However, the structure of the Crouching Tiger Cannon is flawed. I can try to improve it. I believe that the Tiger Crouching Cannon will be improved by me."

The destructive power of the Crouching Cannon must be better than that of the Ming Army's Crouching Tiger Cannon. As for the Lumi gun..."

After a pause, Tang Ruowang continued: "Actually, there is a better musket in the West, called a flintlock gun."

"Flintlock gun?" Dorgon asked, "Is the flintlock gun you mentioned more powerful than the Rumi gun?"
