Poor family mother and son

Back then in the court hall, Chu Qing said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I would like to go to the northern border in person to be a vanguard officer." He was talking about the vanguard officers, not the ordinary soldiers of the vanguard battalion.

Zheng Chunqiu said: "Why do you want to be a vanguard officer, not a soldier? If you are honest, would you dare to be a soldier?"

At that time, it really showed its ugly face to the fullest.

Vanguard officials, at least officials, are relatively safe; soldiers, especially those who have never been on the battlefield, are like cannon fodder in Chu Qing's world.

Out of the needs of the war, the imperial court will send an advance force in addition to the main force, composed of elite forces, to undertake tactical duties such as reconnaissance of terrain, enemy conditions, and people's conditions, mobilizing supplies, and launching a frontal charge.

The leader of this advance force is called the vanguard officer.The chief officer is called Du Xianfeng, and the deputy is called Deputy Pioneer.

Du Xianfeng played a very important role in the battle, and his status was relatively high. He was able to command an army independently, and often directly obeyed the commander.

However, both vanguards and deputy vanguards are temporary military attaches without official ranks. They are established and hired at the time of dispatch, and will be canceled after the war ends.

Generally speaking, the generals who served as the vanguard and deputy vanguard have their original positions.What grade is the original position, what grade are they.

Chu Qing is not a soldier at all, but because the Secret Investigation Division follows the military system, it is considered a soldier.

But with her position as a fifth-rank vice-thousand householder, even if she doesn't get a real job in the army, it's no problem to be a military official like a ranger general.

Zheng Chunqiu was extremely malicious at the time, wanting to use a single sentence to reveal Chu Qing's official position to the end, his intentions were extremely sinister.

But I don't know if the emperor didn't hear it or didn't take it seriously, in short, Zheng Chunqiu didn't succeed.

Since Chu Qing took the initiative to act as a vanguard officer, he would naturally have his own bodyguards, Xu Nianping had no idea about this.

And with that same sentence, Xu Nianping felt that Chu Qing was a good person just because of the mustard.

So Xu Nianping didn't take a break after eating, and continued on his way to the southern border to find General Xue Zhenghao for equipment.

The young man is very serious and responsible.

Chu Qing didn't stop, and rushed all the way to the [-]th village.

It took 22 days on the way back from Kyoto. I don't know what preparations Little Treasure had made, so Chu Qing was eager to join him.

Wei Chengyi said that Song Tingshan could delay for another six or seven days, that is to say, if Xiaobao's arrangements were not sufficient, Chu Qing still had six or seven days to make adjustments.

But for six or seven days, in a world without cars for transportation, major adjustments are difficult to complete.

****************
"Mother!" Xiaobao plunged into Chu Qing's arms like a little leopard, almost knocking Chu Qing on the head.

The child has grown up and has always been self-reliant, but he suddenly behaved like a child, which shows how worried he is for his mother.

Chu Qing hugged Xiao Bao tightly.

Worrying for the past few days, even though Xiaobao told Chuanxin'er that he was safe, Chu Qing couldn't really relax.

Only holding her son tightly in her arms made her feel real.

The shoulders were quickly wet and hot.

There used to be a popular saying:

Everything has an instruction manual, but life does not. The cover is given by parents, and the content is written by myself, so there is no standard answer to the question of life.

Since you are destined to come to the world for a walk, try it all if you want, taste all the ups and downs, even if no one applauds you, remember to move forward gracefully, and thank the self who has no regrets.

Once clearly regarded this passage as a standard, but now it seems that it is not always the case.

People have parents, and they also have children. In the eyes of parents, they are not covers, but the pens that help children write their lives.

Whether a child's life is wonderful or not does not depend entirely on himself, but is directly related to the love and sense of security given by his parents.

Similarly, the sense of steadfastness that children give to parents also plays an important role in the writing of their own lives by parents.

A personal effort is necessary, but the strength drawn from family relationships cannot be denied.

"Son, time is running out, let's get down to business first, how did you arrange it for our family?" Chu Qing adjusted his breathing, holding back his tears.

But he still held Xiaobao's hand tightly, and just sat down at the table holding each other's hands.

"Mother, we now have five hundred iron-bodied 'unconscionable cannons', and three hundred wooden 'unconscionable cannons';" Xiao Baohui reported: "There are also five hundred crock mines..."

Chu Qing was stunned: "Is our iron enough to make so much?"

Xiao Bao nodded: "That's enough, Grandpa Lu said, even the iron pans and plows in stock have been melted down, and he even asked someone to buy a lot from Jizhou;

Mother, I saw the barbed wire fence you asked Grandpa Lu to make, but I just don't know how to use it. "

In fact, asking Master Lu to make barbed wire was just an idea, and he had no idea what effect it would achieve.

Her idea was that all the citizens of Voss were soldiers, and even the women were good at riding and shooting. They were very sturdy. Compared with the infantry-based Daxuan army, the Voss cavalry really had an advantage.

The biggest advantage of cavalry is mobility, and the specific embodiment is speed.

If you want to load the explosive package and launch it, it is estimated that the cavalry will be killed in front of you.

So she asked to make a barbed wire fence, with the intention of stopping the cavalry from standing and being beaten.

Therefore, it should be possible to use barbed wire with "unconscionable guns".

But these are just thoughts, without actual combat experience, there is no certainty.

And it's a bit risky to implement - in case the barbed wire doesn't work, or if one's own combat power is not enough and loses, aren't those barbed wires the iron raw materials given away for free?
"Let's make a fence first." Chu Qing said, "At least let the cavalry slow down first, so that our cannons will have room for actual combat."

If you want to use barbed wire on the battlefield, you need a considerable amount.

If a concertina-style barbed wire fence is used, Chu Qing is worried that the horse will jump over it or be dragged by the stinging pain. It will need to intercept many lines one after another, and Chu Qing feels that it is more wasteful than the fence-style fence.

"Mother, and this!" Xiaobao took out a flintlock gun, "Grandpa Lu made it!"

Chu Qing's eyes lit up: "How much did you do?"

He took Xiaobao's quick-fire pistol and looked at it, and found that there was no rifling in it. He was a little disappointed, but then he was relieved: there are not even bullets, so why pay attention to rifling?

However, with the prototype of the bullet, Kang Xi wrapped the black powder in oiled paper and made it into a "paper-wrapped bomb".

When using it, you only need to tear off the tail of the "paper-wrapped bullet" with your teeth, pour out a part of the gunpowder into the medicine pool of the flintlock gun, and use it as igniter, then put the remaining paper-wrapped bullets and iron pellets into the barrel, and use "Tong Tiao" poked solid.

Chu Qing experimented, and it took about half a minute at the fastest from loading ammunition to firing.

half a minute...

Chu Qing once participated in the Voss horse races, and estimated that the Voss horses in the sprint can run nearly two miles per minute. Then, after reloading ammunition, the horses can run one mile.

It is important to understand these data before deploying troops, because it is directly related to the distribution and use of artillery, mines and grenades.

Xiaobao: "There are only one short one, and twenty long ones, but the old ones said that these things are not as good as bows and crossbows."

Chu Qing was not so enthusiastic anymore.
