Chapter 41: Future Wars

When Fang Jun arrived at Baidaokou, the entire mountain pass position had been cleared, and Xue Rengui even sent soldiers to drag away the dead livestock, bringing snow from not far away to spread a thick layer on the ground, even if he got closer, he couldn't see that there had been a tragic battle here.

Xue Rengui welcomed Fang Jun into the camp tent and said excitedly: "This musket feels very convenient when it is usually trained, and its lethality is not weaker than that of a bow and crossbow. If Dadu can escape from the Evil Sun Ridge, the last general will definitely let him taste the taste of the three-stage attack! ”

Fang Jun smiled.

The power of the musket...... Where is this?

By the time the primer is developed, the power of the musket will be multiplied regardless of the weather, and with the continuous improvement of the gunpowder formula, there is no need to wait for the advent of automatic weapons, and the simplest rifle will be enough to completely sweep all the bows and crossbows into the garbage heap, and vigorously set off a storm of thermal weapons raging the world!

Of course, Fang Jun, as a traverser, knows how far and difficult the road is, but as long as he can make Datang realize the power of firearms from top to bottom under his guidance, and always unswervingly promote the development of firearms, then one day, Datang's firearms will lead the whole world, making the Datang Empire always stand on top of the world!

When food can supply the outbreak of the population, the huge population base will make Datang the world's best, supplemented by the power of firearms that is unique in the world, who else can be beaten?

At that time, it is not necessary to worry about the painful disasters brought to Chinese civilization by foreign invasions, but to worry about the possibility of which crazy emperor wants to dominate the world and bring devastating disasters to all civilizations in the world.

But Fang Jun also likes to hear about it.

As for the lingua franca of the national machine?

Well, the Chinese language is the most beautiful!

……

Xue Rengui looked at Fang Jun in a trance, and couldn't help but wonder: "Handsome, but is there something wrong?" ”

Fang Jun woke up from YY and said: "The power of firearms, you have seen it yourself, with continuous research and development, the power will definitely go to a higher level, and it is not surprising that one day it can completely replace the weapons of swords, guns, swords and halberds." I call the weapons of the past cold weapons, and the weapons that use gunpowder are called hot weapons, I dare to assert that this world, sooner or later, is the era of hot weapons in an all-round way! Whoever masters the advanced technology of thermal weapons will be able to be invincible and see who destroys! ”

He patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "But the world is unpredictable, before the hot weapon shows its comprehensive superiority over the cold weapon, it will inevitably be subjected to all kinds of slander and criticism, because any reform will inevitably trigger the resistance of some vested interests." As soldiers, we must have a long-term vision, and we must not give up the persistence in our hearts because of temporary honor and disgrace, thus hindering the progress of technology. At all times, we must keep in mind that the interests of the country are paramount, and everyone must fight for this all their lives! We must always persist for the sake of national interests, even fight! ”

In this era, "loyalty" is the criterion, the most noble morality, "patriotism" is not just a slogan, under feudal rule, "I am the country", is a universal value, "patriotism" and "loyalty" are one.

"Loyalty" means "patriotism".

However, in fact, everyone knows that the reason why it becomes a country is that the people, the land, and the political power are the meaning of the country.

As for the emperor......

Whoever does it is the same, just have one.

Even though the emperor shouted "I am the country", but people of insight know that "the world is not the world of one family and one surname, but the world of the world", before encountering the Ming and Qing dynasties using science to carry out crazy feudal rule, the backbone of the scholar is still there, the waist is not bent, even a poor student dares to say to the emperor, "This is the world of the world", the emperor will not think that there is anything wrong.

The emperor is the symbol of the country and the object of allegiance from all over the world, but he does not represent the country.

However, no one has put forward such a statement as "national interests above all else" that is akin to that of "rebellious officials and thieves......

If the emperor could not occupy the orthodoxy of "I am the country", wouldn't the world be in chaos?

Therefore, Xue Rengui's eyes were a little fluttering, and his expression was a little weird......

How dare you say it!

Fang Jun clenched his fist with his right hand, knocked on Xue Rengui's breastplate, and said warmly: "Just put it in your heart, only in this way can Datang be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time!" ”

In his consciousness, everyone must work hard for the prosperity and strength of the country, and the people, merchants, officials, soldiers, and naturally the emperor are also included.

No one is the master of whom, no one can be above the people.

Even if there are one or two, the root cause of the chaos will inevitably be sown, even if it is by relying on tyranny and brutal repressive rule, but for a long or short time, it will eventually detonate the people's dissatisfaction and be completely overturned.

History is a lesson to be learned.

There is no doubt that Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang and others will become the mainstay of the military of the Tang Empire after the famous generals of the older generation of the Tang Dynasty gradually withered, planting a seed of "national interests above all else" in their hearts, which will make them think in their hearts when the interests of the emperor conflict with the interests of the country, even if they do not make a decisive judgment, at least think about it in their hearts, instead of blindly following the "foolish loyalty".

And let Xue Rengui, the backbone of the military, realize the power of firearms, and firmly develop firearms, so as not to cause firearms to be shelved by some wise and martial "emperors" as in the last years of the Ming Dynasty and the entire Qing Dynasty.

If the firearms of the late Ming Dynasty really developed to a certain power, even if those "emperors" were scared to death, lest their rule be overthrown, how would they dare to really block such sharp weapons?

Xue Rengui said solemnly: "Remember! ”

He had already seen the power of firearms, but he never thought that Fang Jun's expectations for firearms were so high!

Can you completely replace swords, guns, swords, and halberds and become the master of the battlefield?

This made Xue Rengui a little unimaginable......

Could it be that in the future war, soldiers would carry muskets into battle, shoot indiscriminately at the enemy from a distance, and then throw a few earth-shattering thunderbolts?

What kind of battle is that?

The elderly, the weak, the women and the children can also go into battle to kill the enemy......

However, he attaches great importance to Fang Jun's words and resolutely implements them.

Fang Jun not only has the grace of knowing him, but also uses a number of jaw-dropping talents and visions to make him sincerely respect, and every word of Fang Jun is regarded as a guideline and remembered in his heart.

The two also discussed in detail the advantages and disadvantages of the application of firearms in actual combat, Fang Jun certainly has the memory of his previous life, has a prescient understanding of the applicability of firearms, and the advantages and disadvantages are like a few treasures, Xue Rengui is also immersed in the study of firearms tactics, and the opinions he puts forward from time to time make Fang Jun also quite profound.

Xue Rengui even gave a deeper analysis of the "three-stage strike......

“…… The musket is easy to carry and more powerful than the bow and crossbow, and the disadvantage of restricting it from becoming a standing weapon of the army is that the loading of gunpowder and lead bullet is not as convenient as the bow and crossbow, so the commander has developed the 'three-stage strike' tactic, three people in a team, the first musketeer shoots, and then retreats to the rear of the team to concentrate on loading ammunition, and the second soldier comes forward to fire. The three people alternately reload and fire, which reduces the original time of shooting once by three times, and the efficiency is naturally increased by three times! ”

As he spoke, Xue Rengui simply removed the clutter on the table, and took out the teacups in the tea tray one by one and placed them on the table......

"In this way, we don't have to stick to the form, the three-stage strike is just an array, and it can be completely evolved into a six-stage strike, or even a nine-stage strike, according to local conditions...... Moreover, the general thought that if the infantry armed with muskets could also be lined up in a line with three or four rows of soldiers, and the three-stage attack of the gyratory array would be used to give full play to the maximum firepower advantage, then the enemy, even if there were thousands of troops, would be wiped out in front of the musket array, and he would not be able to get one step closer to our army's position! ”

Fang Jun was really surprised this time.

!

Are you a traverser or am I a traverser?!

Special Niang's ability to draw inferences from one case to another is not small, and the tactics of the line infantry have been drummed up......

In Napoleonic times, line infantry tactics were applied to armies.

Soldiers were mainly armed with smoothbore flintlock muskets and sleeved bayonets, marching and firing in two to four rows, because the inaccuracy and difficulty of loading firearms at the time made it particularly important to use them in clusters and to shoot at closer range, a tactic that was widely used during the years of European colonization and brought devastating disasters to the natives of the world.

Because this tactic is neatly arranged against the enemy, people in later generations have given it a very apt name -

Lined up to be shot......
