Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Shouren's words did not make the generals feel relieved. In fact, everyone on and off Fushan was eager to go north.

Under the education of national righteousness and patriotism for many years, the military officer corps in Fushan has a much more sense of responsibility than other military towns. Going north to exterminate the captives is exactly the title of Zhang Shouren's general who conquered captives, and it is also the greatest wish of many Fushan military officers. !

It is impossible to go north at this time, although there is solid information from the Military Intelligence Office that shows that the Ningyuan area is a muddy pit, and most of the frontier troops in the northern army town are unreliable.

Fushan's [-] soldiers and horses have not yet been reorganized, and the purchase of military horses has only completed about [-]% of the target. There are only [-] armors in front of us, and the remaining tens of thousands of collars will take at least a year and a half to be fully prepared. Various weapons, such as iron halberds, iron spears, playing cards, shields, cavalry arm shields, throwing axes, javelins, throwing spears and other heavy throwing weapons used by cavalry cavalry, as well as cavalry armor and stomach are also very complicated. For seven yuan, so far there are not [-] armors, and the goal of the assault cavalry battalion is to have more than [-] vests... plus the spears, halberds and horse lances used by the assault cavalry, special sabers, used by the spear cavalry battalion There is also a serious shortage of horse guns, and the car artillery battalion plans to replace them with Francophones in the future, and gradually eliminate small guns such as tiger squatting guns for use by infantry... The general office is now divided into armored weapons, guns, guns, etc. There are signs of more than [-] people in the bureau, and the host Lao Lintou can only sleep for three hours a day at most. He is busy every day without touching the ground, and talks to people while walking. …This craftsman from Liaodong has now become the soul and leader of the entire general office, and he still holds great power. The general office will have a production plan every month. Is this month inclined to the Fire Gun Bureau, or is he planning to make more? Fifty cannons?Or make two hundred more armors?

With this power, it is impossible to cheat or accept bribes. Several departments in Fushan have anti-corruption tasks. Every day, many people open their eyes wide and wait to arrest people for meritorious service. It is audacious to want to do such a thing People like Sun Liangdong dare not, let alone the cautious old Lintou. [

At most, he would just say a few nice words, and would often go to Lao Lintou for a drink or something, but since he found out that socializing every day would affect his spirit, Lin Chonggui asked Zhang Shouren to send an inner guard to stand guard, and stop all visitors, no matter who they were. It can be regarded as completely eradicating the unhealthy tendencies and evil spirits.

The training plan has not been completed, and the production of military weapons can only be carried out according to the expansion of financial resources. After many efforts such as opening gold mines and expanding trade routes, Fushan's Finance and Taxation Department has become the department with the best life, but the money is handed over before it is issued. It takes time to buy raw materials. Laiwu's iron ore output is increasing steadily, but transportation also takes time. The official road from Laiwu to Fushan is in disrepair for more than half a year. It doesn't matter, openly mobilizing manpower to build roads is still impossible for the time being.

"It seems that we can't keep up with the Jinzhou War that the adults have been talking about... 15 years ago in Chongzhen, all the spearmen in our Zhenyuan Camp must be replaced with iron armor. .”

"Your Zhenyuan Battalion can't afford to lack iron armor, how can my Dingyuan Battalion be worse?"

"Our Zhenyuan is strong!"

"Hey, the Fushan Camp of Qu University hasn't spoken yet, it's your turn!"

"In the 14 years of Chongzhen, our cavalry battalion was only able to be full of 500 people. The plan is to equip each person with a cavalry gun, a saber, and two to three short horse guns per person. If you don't go to our place now While stockpiling supplies and manpower, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with our full staffing and training progress."

"How much is the short horse gun worth? How much work does Li Yingguan need to get angry and exaggerate? If our sudden cavalry could ride three horses, two war horses and one camel 15 years ago Horses, [-] sets of cavalry armor are complete, the vest is complete, there is also a cavalry spear that can only be used once, and each person has a long halberd or a horse lance. Let’s calculate how much money this is! And it’s not just a matter of money. , Practicing riding spears, practicing coordination, practicing formations, sudden cavalry is much more difficult than spear cavalry, if you don’t do our best first, it will be a big joke to catch blind when going into battle!”

The infantry at the front fought for armor and weapons, while the cavalry just laughed and watched the fun. After Li Yongxin couldn't bear to join the battle group, Zhu Wangli from the sudden cavalry battalion was not there, but his deputy Han Chao was not a fuel-efficient lamp. So he retorted, his words were sonorous and forceful, and he did not relax at all given Li Yongxin's status.

Li Yongxin could only smile wryly. He and Han Chao both came from the cavalry battalion. Before the separation, we were both sentry officers. The eldest brother and the second brother have been messing with each other for more than a year. Now it is embarrassing to ask him to refute with airs .

"Lao Li, your gun cavalry battalion is too greedy." Sun Liangdong, who was a firecracker instructor and knew very well about firecrackers, couldn't help but said at this time: "One person has three firecrackers, can you let them go!"

Li Yongxin tilted his head, and replied, "Ask your lord."

"My lord, I don't agree with this. My battalion doesn't like to say that the gunners are equipped with three guns, right? If this is the way, everyone will bring three guns on the battlefield, and a few more people will load them with their own hands. Then the fight is really unresolved."

As Sun Liangdong talked, he seemed to have opened up his mind, and his eyebrows were beaming for a while.

When the generals were chatting and joking, Zhang Shouren and a few generals who didn't directly lead troops and didn't have military needs were just watching the commotion, watching the fighting in the lower world in the cloud, and seeing the flames of battle burning under his feet, Zhang Shouren hurriedly said: "You What you know, you will have your own music."

Seeing Sun Liangdong's still rebellious appearance, Zhang Shouren sighed, and had to explain in detail: "In an immediate fight, in terms of eastern captives, the first is to throw bones, throwing axes, throwing spears, broadswords, throwing knives, etc. These weapons are heavy and thick enough to pierce armor. Generally, slave cavalry are thrown at about [-] paces. You don't expect them to miss shots after all the battles."

"My lord's words are very convincing to the general. The general has fought against slave riders, so of course he knows how powerful they are. But, what does this have to do with three horse guns? Although our horse guns are short, five Ten steps is enough to break two layers of armor..."

"You're confused!" Zhang Shouren said bitterly: "The enemy throws guns, broadswords, flying knives and bones. Can we reload this firecracker right away?"

"This, it seems to be more difficult..."[

"One person has two or three blunderbusses, and immediately after hitting, change to another blunderbuss and continue to release the blunderbuss. After fifty steps to the battle, at least three bludgeons are fired. The power of the firecrackers is much greater than those of throwing knives. After training, The aim is also sure, throwing at each other like this, our spear battalion is enough to suppress the white armor slave riders."

When Zhang Shouren explained, the generals and subordinates in the hall also nodded frequently, and they really admired Zhang Shouren's wonderful idea.

Everyone has already fought against Donglu, and they still recognize Donglu's cavalry and archery skills and are somewhat afraid. Although the Mongols are more skilled in purely archery, Donglu is really good at using bows and arrows on the battlefield. It has reached the point of perfection.

There is no ration of archers at Fushan. Now only the auxiliary supply battalion is equipped with a small number of infantry short crossbows, and the cavalry crossbows are allocated to the land patrol battalion or used by various manors. Anyway, there are no such things in the regular army.A large number of parts are required to build a crossbow, which is very complicated, and it is not easy to shoot right away. It is not much easier to practice than a firecracker. Strong crossbows have been in the market in China from the Warring States Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties. After the Ming Dynasty Being eliminated really has its reasons.

Now that bows and arrows have been eliminated, Zhang Shouren does not intend to pick them up. According to the current assembly line training, tens of thousands of qualified firearms players can be trained in one or two years. Don't be too beautiful behind the phalanx. An archer has at least three to five years and is not necessarily a perfect shot. Wouldn't it be sick to spend time on this?Now that you have done it, you have to go to the strong outfit. A cavalry battalion has a rider with three guns, or cooperates with the assault cavalry, or cooperates with the infantry, or the artillery of the escort car battalion. In short, there are many uses. The generals think about it. The expression on his face was uncertain, and the way he looked at Li Yongxin was completely different from before.

More than 5000 rations, at least 7000 military horses, and [-] people if you add follow-up service. On the northern border of the country, a general soldier may not have [-] pure cavalry subordinates. The southern military town may add up to three or four general soldiers Have this strength.

Moreover, there are still seven thousand cavalry with armored stomachs and excellent weapons. In the end, they are assigned three excellent firecrackers. They are not the kind of crap like three-eyed burst guns. From [-] to [-] paces, the flint will be fired continuously, and the firing rate is between [-]% and [-]%, which is slightly lower than that of matchlock guns in normal times, but it is stronger than the misery of matchlock guns in rainy or windy days. too much.

Just imagine, in front of the formation of the two armies, more than 5000 cavalrymen roared in long-covered armor, with a wide battle line, rushing over like a landslide and tsunami, and then fired guns in bursts, one after another, and the second one There is also a third one, more than 5000 people fired for the first time, the momentum, power, and suppressive force, the people present thought it was very exciting... What's more, after firing the gun, everyone still has a saber, or It was riding a spear, and when he stood up to fight hand-to-hand, he had already been beaten to pieces by [-] firecrackers, and he couldn't be defeated at all...

You must know that there is a misunderstanding in later generations of film and television dramas. It seems that riding a battle means pointing at the flag, and then shouting to kill, thousands of horses gallop forward... That is not riding a battle, it is death and nonsense.

Just like infantry warfare, cavalry also need to pay attention to formation, especially when cavalry against cavalry, it is even more important to pay attention to the restraint and strictness of the formation. One side has formations and the other has no formations. When fighting, there must be formations. One side will win a big victory with minimal loss!

In the eyes of the generals in front of them, this is already the situation. After the horse guns broke the formation, the cavalry lined up, and the opponent fled. Thinking of this, all the generals stared at Li Yongxin with envy and hatred, and kept looking at him. Until the opponent's hair stands on end!
