Chapter 476 Bicycle Cavalry

What Wang Chaoen didn't know was that this tool called a bicycle had never played a decisive role on the battlefield since it was invented.

First of all, because he needs to be driven by human power, although after starting, he can drive faster than a human walking or running, but he has certain requirements for the road. Second, compared to horses or other vehicles, soldiers on bicycles cannot attack the enemy while pedaling.

But for Wang Chaoen, this is still a novelty. Although he had not yet seen these things on the battlefield, when the soldiers on bicycles passed by him, especially when the gust of wind brought by the bicycles and the soldiers blew on his face, he felt that this thing hid a great power that he could not speak.

But after all, he was a eunuch who lived deep in the palace, and he seriously lacked knowledge of real warfare. At least, he looked like an incomparably powerful tool, and in the eyes of Yang Dayan, the commander of this unit, he was simply something that was not worth mentioning.

Yang Dayan, who has received the orthodox modern education of the 21st century, of course knows that this kind of transportation is actually a very weak existence for war, and his biggest function is just to facilitate the travel of ordinary people.

However, Yang Dayan also knew that Nurhachi, who was in the same era as Wang Chaoying, was probably also inexplicably afraid of this means of transportation. When the tiger saw the donkey, he had to concede three points without knowing the depth of the other party, not to mention that Nurhachi couldn't talk about the tiger, and Zhuge Liang's troops were not donkeys.

So, he finally accepted the order and led this strange cavalry unit. The pursuit of the strong enemy Nurhachi began.

: In this cavalry unit. Equipped with the Star Cat company's own Star Cat brand bicycle, this kind of bicycle has no other advantages, except in off-road conditions, the performance of tires and shock absorption system is impressive.

So, a cavalry unit of more than 5,000 people set out from St. Petersburg and launched a pursuit of Nurhachi.

‖ Erhachi and his men had been evacuated from the area for five or six days, but instead of immediately returning to the northeast, they plundered the nearby villages.

Just after the establishment of the Jin State. There is not so strict military discipline. Nurhachi could not refuse the request of his subordinates to fight the grass valley, otherwise, it would affect his status and prestige in the hearts of everyone.

In this way, they did not immediately shrink militarily when their strategic objectives were not achieved. This gave Zhuge Liang's troops time to recuperate before the pursuit, and now, his soldiers could continue to strength. With high morale, embark on the road of their achievements.

On the road to success, there is another group of people moving forward, but their ideals. There was a serious setback. Among them, the representative is none other than Du Du, the flag owner with red flags.

△ is the eldest grandson of Nurhachi, originally, the throne of this empire. It should be passed on to him, but this is the idea of the Central Plains people. For a nomadic regime that has just been formed, the real leadership should be in the hands of competent people.

Even in the Central Plains, some dynasties with Hu blood also have a similar phenomenon. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, it was not until the son of Tang Xuanzong, who was called the emperor of Lingwu, that the Tang Dynasty truly realized the primogeniture inheritance system. For more than 100 years before that, the Tang Dynasty had repeatedly staged infighting for a sterilization position, which seriously weakened the country's strength. Although the decline of the Tang Dynasty was ultimately caused by the problem of land distribution, this internal consumption accelerated this historical process. Otherwise, they could have persisted for 300 years like the weak Song Dynasty. …

However, it is important for all those who have some knowledge of history to be clear that this mechanism of competition is a powerful way to maintain the military vitality of an empire. Also taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, before the primogeniture system was truly realized, the achievements of the Tang Dynasty on all fronts could be described as fruitful. However, when the primogeniture system was implemented, the Tang Dynasty entered a weak stage. The capital Chang'an has been broken many times, and this period of history has become a scene that we do not want to recall, so that in the minds of many of us, the army of the Tang Dynasty is unrivaled and powerful.

Some time ago, in order to explain the strength of the Song Dynasty's army, some people claimed that after investigation, they found that the Song Dynasty's victory rate in foreign wars exceeded 70%, and in terms of the Ben 9 victory rate, the Tang Dynasty had been thrown out of several streets.

Regardless of which Song Dynasty had a serious chance of victory, at least he could not explain why the Song Dynasty lost its territory and ended up in a corner of peace, only to say that the author had made a serious mistake, which was so ridiculous and ridiculous, because he was slapping himself in the face.

The author used the strength of the Tang Dynasty to set off the Song Dynasty's army to become more powerful, which suddenly subverted, and our traditional perception of emphasis, which must be his purpose. However, he ignored that the Tang Dynasty's army's foreign war victory rate was not worth mentioning at all, and most of the main victories were concentrated before 750 AD. In other words, not to mention the victory rate of the army of the Song Dynasty, even if it was the Ming Dynasty, it was not necessarily less than that of the Tang Dynasty.

Isn't it ridiculous that the author subverts the cognition of ordinary people on the one hand, and on the other hand, takes the cognition of ordinary people as the theoretical basis for this subversive action?

Leaving aside this absurd statement, the institutional reason for this strange phenomenon is actually the system of primogeniture that has been clearly established since the Zhou Dynasty.

It is obviously unreliable to pin the rise and fall of a country on the genetic material of a group of people.

So, even if Dudu doesn't understand what genetic material is? He also didn't understand what primogeniture was, but that didn't stop him from seeking a wise leader to lead the empire.

He was a man of political ambition who wanted to prove to Nurhachi that he was the most qualified successor with his great achievements. This is actually a very good phenomenon, but this good phenomenon, in front of the bicycle cavalry, is shattered.

Helping the battle-tested general, when he saw the bicycle cavalry chasing after the cavalry troops, he was obviously frightened by those silver-white monsters.

His first reaction was to pull up the reins and flee in the opposite direction. What made him very happy was that his horse in the past had successfully thrown off the enemy, but what made him not so happy was that although his horse had good explosiveness and good endurance, he had no choice but the other party's two-wheeled horse, which obviously had more outstanding endurance.

Yang Dayan looked forward to the electric bicycle, and the Qiangnu in his hand was ready, ready to hunt the enemy in front of him at any time. (To be continued......)

PS: Recently, I have paid attention to the stock market and dealt with the stocks that were trapped seven or eight years ago, so the updates in the past two days are not very good. But it doesn't matter, whether it is crazy or crazy tomorrow, this book will be resolutely two-stop.
