More than a dozen dragon boats set off from the imperial capital to the east of the river first, inspect the Jiangnan region, stay in the eastern capital for half a month, and then go south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and finally on July 15, the seventh year of the dragon dragon, the dragon boat arrived in Jiangcheng, here, the female dependents did not stop, continued to go south, but the civil and military officials all stayed for a while, because the next deployment will be announced here.

At this time, almost everyone knows that it is now a confrontation between the north and the south, and the Han Xiongshi will definitely go north to resist Jin, but when will the prelude to the Northern Expedition be kicked off, it will become the biggest unsolved case.

Although the current Jin State is not as strong as when it first invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, it is still a powerful existence, especially in the case of sweeping the grassland, the total strength quickly recovered 600,000, and it is almost all cavalry, and the combat effectiveness is still not under the Han army. (The Jin army mentioned here includes the Shengjurchen, the Mature Jurchen, the Bohai people, the Goryeo, the Khitans, the Xi people, the Liaodi Han'er, and the warriors of the grassland tribes, not including the Song soldiers who surrendered to the Jin State.) ）

Powerful cavalry is the capital that the Jin army can sweep down, after the invasion of the Liao State, the Northern Song Dynasty, plundered a large number of craftsmen, plundered countless weapons, siege equipment, has long been the siege, the city defense of the shortcomings to make up, even the Song State is proud of the firearms, the arm bow, the bed crossbow, have been equipped to the Jin army of Zheng

If, at this moment, the Jin Army still has any shortcomings, it is the water division, and this does not blame the Jin Army for not sending the water division. The key is that the Song State did not get a well-developed naval division back then, and the most powerful naval division was in the Han State, and it had never actually fought with the Jin army, so that it was difficult for the Jin army to make up for this shortcoming.

This time the imperial meeting was very important to the entire Han Dynasty, so that the content of the meeting was fixed as a top secret, and the shadows were waiting outside, and the attendees were all high-ranking officials above the third rank, and these people had something in common, that is, the family members were all in the imperial capital, and in a sense, they could be hostages, although most people would not think so.

Yu Yunwen, the second son of the emperor, Liu Zhen, the second son of the emperor, made the minutes of the meeting, which is the management of the Han Dynasty, and two young talents will make records at the important meeting, of course, it is the first time that the prince attends it, which shows the importance that His Majesty attaches to this meeting.

The big man Liu Zhenglong put on the armor in the wasteland, the golden helmet and golden armor were like a god-like existence, sitting on the dragon chair, he looked down at the civil and military officials below, as if the king of all beasts was patrolling the territory.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the content of today's meeting is relatively long, and everyone sits down to participate. Today, there is a free speech session, and civil and military officials, regardless of their official positions, can freely express their opinions. It's just that the content of today's conversation is top secret, and I won't go into details about what the consequences will be if it is leaked. It's cruel that I just want to exterminate the Nine Clans, but this article will not be deleted until the Han Dynasty is unified. Today, before the meeting begins, I want to listen to the report of the Ling Qing family, knowing that firearms will play a huge role in the next battle. At some point, firearms can even determine the course of a war, so in Dahan, firearms are classified as first-class military secrets, and this is also the only place in Dahan where the joint sitting system is implemented, where the prince breaks the law, and the common people are guilty of the same crime, and this iron law will be practiced from now on"

Everyone has their own mission, Ling Zhen's mission is to make more and more advanced firearms for the Han Dynasty, cultivate more talents, the emergence of firearms battalions, artillery battalions, and gunboats setting sail on the sea are the glory of the Ling family.

Shenwei Hou Ling Zhen stood up and played: "Your Majesty, all scholars, my lords, today I will make a simple report on behalf of the Shenlong Firearms Bureau and the Shenwei Artillery Bureau. After more than ten years of polishing, now the musket has been greatly improved, divided into long spear and short spear, the strong range of the spear can reach 100 steps, within 100 steps to shoot through heavy armor, the effective range of 150 steps, can easily shoot through light armor, and the operation is simple, can be fired in a loop, a 300 Rao to deal with, lay down the gun array, can resist the impact of 3,000 cavalry, to ensure that the position is not lost. The powerful shooting of the short gun is ten steps, piercing through heavy armor, and the effective range is thirty steps, killing people, and the crosshair industry is very high. The only drawback is the high recoil, which is not suitable for women. ”

"Short gun, do you have any samples? Bring me one and let me see. ”

Liu Zhenglong knew that the appearance of the short gun indicated that the number of assassinations would increase, and in a sense, it was a threat to his rule, but after the long gun was pushed to the battlefield, the appearance of the short gun was inevitable of the times, and he couldn't stop it.

Ling Zhen presented a one-foot-long box, and after he opened it in front of the dragon case, he took out a steel pipe short gun from it and said: "The short gun is fired by a firing pin, which is very dangerous, so the minister did not load ammunition. Comparatively, the manufacturing cost is much higher than that of a long gun, at least ten times more. ”

The firing pin is launched, this is definitely cross-era, Europe will not appear until five hundred years later. Liu Zhenglong took this short gun, which looked a little bulky and a little big, in his hand and said: "If you install a safety bolt and turn off it on weekdays, even if you load it, you are not afraid of danger." In addition, from now on, all short guns are included in the royal exclusive supply, not put on the battlefield, each gun must have a number, all numbers must be registered, to implement to everyone, the shadow of the whole process of monitoring, through the number can be found out the relevant personnel information, the loss of guns, can be found out of the source. The guns were lost, and the system of joint sitting was implemented. ”

The control of the short gun is stricter than that of the long gun, and it is thought that the actual threat of the short gun is greater than that of the long gun, after all, the long gun is not convenient to carry. Liu Zhenglong asked: "How is the formation of the firearms battalion now?" ”

Wang Yu, head of the Ministry of Quartermasters, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the standard configuration of the Han army now is that each army is equipped with three firearms battalions, and there are three hundred soldiers in the firearms battalion every month. ”

"Not enough, make sure that each corps has five firearms battalions, and each firearms battalion has six hundred soldiers. It is 10,000 rao, and there must be 3,000 musketeers in the army. Now you don't know the importance of firearms, but when you fight the Jin army, you will find that the advantage of cavalry will be exhausted in the face of powerful firearms. This configuration is among the infantry, only the cavalry, and the original configuration is maintained, but the cavalry needs to add a short gun, after all, the short gun can be operated with one hand, which is convenient to use and conducive to close combat. However, the short gun must be kept in accordance with the regulations, even if the soldier dies in battle, the short gun cannot be lost, the gun is in the person, the gun is lost, and the head falls to the ground. Unless all a team is killed, a gun will be thrown and a person's head will fall to the ground. The soldiers fled because they lost their guns, and their superiors sat down and killed the three tribes. ”

The penalty for the loss of the short gun is too heavy, but the ministers dare not speak, after all, everyone is not very familiar with the short gun, but they only know that His Majesty attaches great importance to it, and in this case, they have not realized what kind of impact such a heavy punishment will bring.

Liu Zhenglong knew that the ministers did not pay much attention to firearms, so he explained: "The lethality of muskets on the battlefield is far greater than that of bows and arrows, they are easy to carry, have a longer range, and have a serial design, which is more lethal." The most important thing is that the requirements for soldiers are low, and the arrangement of troops is simple. Ming, I will lead a firearms battalion to show you how to use the infantry of the firearms battalion to block the cavalry. Okay, Ling Qing's family, you can talk about artillery, remember the request I made. ”

"I remember it in my heart, and I don't dare to forget it for a moment." Ling Zhen knew how much His Majesty valued artillery, and he hurriedly said: "There are four kinds of artillery, the first is the Shenwei Dragon Cannon, which weighs a thousand catties and has a firing range of more than two thousand steps, which is used to bombard the city wall. If you bombard the city wall, you will bombard the same place more than five times in a row, and the city wall will collapse. In this way, from now on, any city in the Jin Kingdom is an unfortified city for the Han Dynasty, as long as we want to fight, we can definitely fight it. ”

My obedient, the civil and military officials were dumbfounded, what kind of cannon is this, the range is 2,000 steps, and it can easily blast open the city gate, so won't the army of the Han Dynasty be able to sweep down in the future. You must know that the reason why the casualties in the siege battle are huge is because the city gate cannot be opened, once the city gate is opened, it is a street battle, the casualties are equal, and the side defending the city will not have any advantage.

"Very good, I have all my questions, thousands of Shenwei dragon cannons, so heavy, how to drive, how to cross the battlefield?"

Liu Zhenglong knew that as long as the Shenwei Dragon Cannon could really blast open the city gate, then the Han Dynasty's attack on the Jin Kingdom would be on the agenda, and it seemed that Yu Yunwen would send an envoy to speed up his entry into the school

"Your Majesty, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, has provided a steam locomotive, which can drag the wheeled Shenwei Dragon Cannon forward, which is faster than the Qianniu dragging, and the walking road is more difficult. The key is that the Shenwei Dragon Cannon can be disassembled, in fact, even if you go up the mountain, there is no problem. ”

"What about the other three cannons?"

"Flat-firing artillery, this cannon weighs no more than 100 catties, shoots at 300 paces, and is perfect for breaking through the enemy's defenses. There are also platoon guns specifically aimed at cavalry, and the fourth is a long-range gun designed for warships, which can fire from the sea at enemy warships, cities, and fortresses. ”

Liu Zhenglong was interested in platoon artillery, and he didn't know what platoon artillery meant, so he asked: "Ling Qingjia, can you explain to everyone what platoon artillery means." ”

"Platoon artillery is ten artillery pieces that can be fired individually, or they can be combined on the launch pad, fired intensively, and can cover a large area to fire in rows, which is definitely a nightmare for cavalry."

Ling Zhen is quite proud of his platoon artillery, this is his life's work.

"I must personally inspect the Han Shenwei Artillery Bureau and the Shenlong Firearms Bureau, and under the unification of the Han Dynasty in the future, your merits will be immeasurable." Liu Zhenglong was very satisfied with Ling Zhen's work, he glanced at Tang Zhenjun, who was in charge of the Dahan Shipyard, and said: "Tang Qing's family, the Dahan Navy gallops across the ocean, you have made a lot of contributions, don't you have anything to give me today?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Dahan Shipyard and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau have joined forces to build a turbine steamship, and when the Dahan Navy goes to sea in the future, it can gallop the ocean even if it is against the wind. The sea ship has reached 50,000 stones, and it can transport 2,000 cavalry out to sea at one time, which is several times faster than before. Not only that, but you can also sail at night, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the Han Navy can go straight to the back of the Jin Kingdom to participate in the war. ”

"Since there is a turbine steamship, then I will take it to inspect Goryeo."

Ah, Your Majesty wants to inspect Goryeo, which makes the civil and military officials feel puzzled, Goryeo is only a Han vassal country, what does it mean for Your Majesty to inspect.

Seeing that the civil and military officials were dumbfounded, the big man Liu Zhenglong glanced at Yu Yunwen and said, "Yu Qing's family, what is the purpose of my inspection of Goryeo." ”

Yu Yunwen got up and said, "Your Majesty's Sacred Heart, Weichen doesn't dare to speculate. Since His Majesty asked, the minister thought that His Majesty wanted to turn Goryeo into the land of the Han Dynasty, and the most important thing was that Goryeo would become a springboard for attacking the Jin Kingdom, and the Han Dynasty was going to attack the Jin Kingdom. ”

"It's not a loss to be the champion of the new department, it seems that Qin Guogong, the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, has chosen well." Liu Zhenglong affirmed Yu Yunwen's words, and finally he said: "Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that group of Goryeo sticks has been restless and constantly invaded Liaodong. However, the Central Plains was in civil strife, and there was no time to take care of Liaodong. Until the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty went to Goryeo three times, but due to the constraints of the Guanlong group, they all ended in failure. In the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, it was considered to have really defeated Goryeo, but in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns were divided, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and Goryeo took the opportunity to rebel again. Even though Goryeo is now a Han vassal state, it still interacts with the Jin State in private, and there will be the shadow of Goryeo soldiers on every side of the Jin army. I don't want Goryeo to be invaded in the entire Liaodong region, and if I destroy the Jin Kingdom, I must take Goryeo. In addition, there are many islands in the eastern sea, which need to be developed by Dahan, and Goryeo is undoubtedly the best military base. ”

The civil and military officials knew nothing about the world outside the Han Dynasty, but the Great Han came from later generations and knew that the world was still very large, and there were still many vast lands to be conquered by the Han army, and there was no doubt that steam turbines were essential for the conquest of the sea.

The Han Navy is the guarantee of the Han Dynasty's conquest of the world, it can be built with a lot of money, and a huge amount of money will be invested every year, but it has been little return, and now with steam turbines, the time has come for the Han Navy to conquer the world, and countless overseas materials will be transported back to China, and the whole world will gradually become one. A new one, the 'sun never sets' empire in the East is about to go to sea.

The first stage of the meeting is the debriefing, which is important, but everyone knows that these are just appetizers and the main event is yet to come. After all, the Han army established the country with martial arts, and the conquest of the Jin country was the most important thing, and the generals sharpened their knives and waited for His Majesty's order to sweep the Jin country. Years of experience in fighting with the Jin State made the generals completely ignore the Jin State.
