Chapter 1021 Deception
In Chen Jiujing's view, the existence of the lecture hall and Siyang military mansion of the Ming Empire not only inherited the classical military tradition, but also added more changes in line with the times.

Traditionally, the classical military emphasized defense and internal stability, and valued the morality of war. The greatest benefit of war is unity. Whether it pursues "intelligence" or "deceitful power", force is put behind, and it is best to subdue the enemy without fighting. Strategy; after the war, Wenzhi was implemented, advocating Fangma Nanshan to forge swords into plows, so that victory comes from political victory.

Nowadays, their overseas policies emphasize offense and focus on dealing with foreign countries. They are more outspoken in terms of war interests. Dependence on 'technique'.

Whether it is a unified infantry drill code, regulations and other management methods, or the improvement and progress of military technology, they all pay more attention than traditional military.

This is almost the most distinctive feature of every general who is born in the lecture hall. Every general racks his brains to obtain the best weapons and arm his subordinates, and he can also talk about the reason for entering a war without hesitation. What to get, of course, there is a mentality of "lawlessness" rising overseas, to a large extent, it is also a manifestation of the rapid technical perspective of emerging collective military schools but the lack of traditional martial arts education.

Whether it is the same kind or not, you can smell it with your nose.

At least for General Chen Jiujing who stationed troops in Bilbao, Yang Ce from the Han Dynasty is the same kind, and he is also the second person Chen Jiujing is waiting for.

A month and a half ago, a blue Flying Shark ship docked at Daming Port in the Ming Concession of Seville. The letter was sent by land from the southernmost tip of Spain to Chen Jiujing at the northernmost tip. It was a letter from Yang Ce, indicating that He wanted to send the letter to General Chen who was stationed in the north.

Only after Chen Jiujing opened the letter did he realize that this respectful letter was written by Yang Ce to his adoptive father Chen Mu. It was sent to the right place but to the wrong person, and the location was [-] miles away.

However, he was able to do the same as requested in the letter.

Yang Ce wants to join the war against France, but if he wants to join the war, he needs to pay a thousand guns first, and the battles he directly participates in need to share [-]% of the spoils after the battle, and the battles completed by himself only pay [-]% of the spoils .

Chen Jiujing agreed to everything, and only half a month later, the six Flying Shark ships docked at the coastal port in western Spain sailed to Bilbao.

At the pier, Huang Xi escorted a box of Western-made and French-made matchlock guns to Yang Ce's cronies from Madagascar with Nanyang blood for acceptance. Both sides are foreigners in blood, but one is proficient in Chinese.

"The barbarian? The general wants the bird's gun. The best bird's gun in the world is in Nanyangwei."

There were only [-] muskets handed over to Yang Ce in advance. In fact, Chen Jiujing had more than [-] matchlock guns in his hands besides the muskets used by Baishan Camp and Xiyong Camp.

Some were the spoils captured in the Battle of Bordeaux, and some were bought by the Xiyong Battalion from Bilbao during these days, but he didn't want to hand over the muskets to Yang Ce in pieces, because it was not good-looking, Secondly, it will also let Yang Ce know that he has insufficient military reserves.

Although not an enemy, Chen Jiujing didn't want anyone to know.

"General, if you take the bird gun from Nanyangwei, you will not be able to wait for this battle."

As a guerrilla in the Baishan camp, Huang Xi from North Korea can be said to be well-informed on bird guns. He knows very well that the general of the Han Dynasty in front of him has no better understanding of firearms than him, so he is called the best bird gun in the world. , especially in Nanyang Wei, you can basically make the inference of 'this is an amateur'.

Neither Yang Ce nor the pirate leader in front of him mentioned the flintlock blunderbuss. Obviously they were referring to the matchlock blunderbuss. Yang Ce may have the mentality of going to the country, so he said this, and his book will probably be hearsay .

Because Chen Jiujing mentioned it to him many times when he commanded the Baishan Camp in Chuchu, Nanyang Wei’s refined hand guns, flintlock bird guns and large-caliber cast iron artillery are the best in the world, matchlock bird guns, armors, forged knives, and grenades , Rockets are the best in the world, among which grenades and rockets are because there is no reference.

All kinds of small-caliber artillery, ordinary single-shot matchlock handguns, and revolver firecrackers are second-rate in the world.

As for chain mail and crossbows, it doesn’t make any difference whether they are made by the Nanyang Guards or not. There is a high probability that they were made by other guards’ military bureaus under fake names. The Machinery Bureau does not have the latter production line, but the chain mail has wire drawing machines, hydraulic pressure rings and riveting equipment, but they stopped doing it a long time ago.

Huang Xi raised his hand to stop the subordinates of the Baishan Battalion who were carrying the guns, and said to the general of the Han Dynasty: "It's not the best, the bird gun has its own strengths, the most ruthless is the Japanese gun, and the most poisonous is the Ottoman Of the guns, the heaviest ones are Xiyi guns, and the most durable ones are made in Nanyang.”

Ruthlessness is the lethality. Among all the light bird guns, Japanese guns cause the largest wounds when hitting unarmored enemies; poison is the range, and Ottoman's matchlock guns are well-made and have the longest range; Spanish heavy guns are naturally far and ruthless. The two-two thing is classified as a hand cannon in the Nanyang Lecture Hall.

Japan also has similar large-caliber muskets, but the varieties and regulations are too chaotic, and the quantity is too small.

After Chen Mu seized the heavy muskets, there were imitations in the Ming Dynasty, but soon even Chen Mu gave up imitating them, because the ordinary light guns were enough, and the heavy muskets were replaced by tiger squat guns, franc machines, rockets and two-pound guns , there is a more professional killer gun at a longer distance, and there is no need for such a cumbersome weapon.

Made in Nanyang has no advantage in terms of lethality, but it has front sights and rear sights, and the production is relatively more sophisticated. The length and thickness of the barrel have been compared with dozens of models by the Ordnance Bureau, and the final shape is that the length of the barrel is slightly shorter. Under the premise of ensuring practical power, it is lighter and more portable, and is very friendly to soldiers.

"The captured Fayi guns are not bad, and there are another [-] guns that are being made by the Bacchus Province in the West. If it is not possible, we have [-] Japanese guns in the army, and I can exchange them for you."

In fact, Huang Xi wanted to use Japanese guns to slow down the batch of Spanish heavy muskets prepared for Yang Ce. The best Nanyang made guns could not be used by the Baishan Camp. All the gunners under his command used Japanese guns to attack Bordeaux. The musketeer didn't work hard, and he was too embarrassed to ask Chen Jiujing for a reward for the battle. Now it seemed that Yang Ce's people didn't like Europa's muskets, so he moved his mind.

This was in line with the wishes of the general of the pirate department, and he decided immediately: "Then it's settled, three hundred Japanese guns, I heard that Japanese guns are also good, how long will it take to make the remaining bird guns?"

"January at the latest." Huang Xi asked, "How many troops do you have?"

The bearded pirate with Nanyang blood laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "After one month, when General Yang comes over, you will know about this guerrilla general."
