Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Although Song Xiance was not a general who commanded troops to fight, as a military advisor, he still had a certain understanding of general military common sense.

Just looking at these new troops who are still in training, whether it is military quality or mental outlook, they completely crush all the old armies of the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with the new guns and artillery equipped, and the new tactics that subvert the old traditions, their combat power has at least doubled. Ichiban.

He felt like his brain was running out of energy.

To put it bluntly, a well-trained and well-equipped new army that can even be said to have generational differences is worth several times or even ten times the old army. Even the most powerful old battalion under King Chuang's command is probably only To be beaten.

He also thought for a time, if he used the fastest cavalry to attack the musketeers' formation, could they be defeated?

However, Wu Buwei, who seemed to have read his mind, said something lightly, making him despair instantly.

"All the new armies formed by the emperor have been specially trained for the Qing cavalry charge. For this reason, some soldiers were killed and injured during the training."

"..."

Song Xiance scratched his head. He had heard how powerful the Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing army was. It was invincible in the field. Any Ming army, no matter how well-equipped it was, would end up being annihilated if it fought the Qing army in the wild. .

It is precisely because of the power of the Qing army's cavalry that the Ming army did not dare to fight the Qing army in the wild. They all huddled in the city and relied on the city walls to defend. The result was that the Qing army's cavalry was allowed to run rampant, and one fortified city after another was besieged and finally fell. , the land was lost piece by piece.

Since the emperor has a way to deal with the rapid charge of the Qing army's cavalry, wouldn't it be easier and simpler to deal with the rebels who charge by running on two legs?

When he heard that the emperor had sent the earliest and most well-trained army, the Royal First Regiment of nearly 8,000 people, to Kaifeng to support Sun Chuanting and conduct actual combat training, Song Xiance was still shocked, and subconsciously worried about Li Zicheng.

"Well……"

Song Xiance suddenly remembered that he was almost tricked to death by Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, and they had already broken up and parted ways to serve the emperor. He couldn't help slapping his forehead and smiling bitterly.

Oh, if you don't want your whole family to be dragged to the execution ground and beheaded, you have to be more careful in the future and don't think about becoming the king. No, it's Li Zicheng. Forget it, the surname is Li.

Song Xiance was almost cheated to death by Li Zicheng. If he didn't have any resentment in his heart, it would be against his will.

Besides, even if he doesn't serve the emperor, but has been branded a traitor, Li Zicheng will never let him go, and his family will definitely die miserably. The only way to save him is to help the emperor kill Li Zicheng.

Song Xiance suddenly felt that he had no choice. He couldn't help but sigh. Some things were inevitable after all. How should he choose?

Zhu Youjian had too many things to deal with, and he also wanted Chief Military Advisor Wu Buwei and Second Chief Military Advisor Song Xiance to have more contact with each other to understand each other and enhance their relationship with their colleagues, so he asked Wu Buwei to take Song Xiance to visit the arsenal. The Weapons Research Institute is an important place.

To truly conquer Song Xiance, showing strength is one of the necessary conditions, and then it depends on Wu Buwei's eloquence.

If Song Xiance couldn't be made to truly serve his life, he had no choice. He couldn't use it for himself, and he couldn't be used by the enemy. In order to eliminate hidden dangers, he could only let him disappear.

It's not that he is evil-hearted, but that any hero with great talent and strategy, and a wise and powerful hero will do this. People with a soft heart can't survive, and the grass on their graves will grow taller.

After sending the emperor off respectfully, Wu Buwei, under the protection of the guards, took Song Xiance to visit important military sites such as arsenals and weapons research institutes.
