Chapter 418: Attack on Changzhou

Changzhou is the first big city in Runzhou along the canal.

The people of the city were shaken by a loud sound early in the morning.

"The people of Changzhou, the fathers and villagers of Changzhou, we are the glorious People's Guards, and we came to Changzhou to deliver food to everyone. Fathers and fellow villagers, there is about to be a war here, please leave the north of the city and stay at home, so as not to be captured by the Heavenly Master Army. ”

Wang Ying took the microphone and used a soft female voice over and over again to convey the spirit of Qin Mu.

The people of Changzhou were puzzled to hear it. What kind of people are the Guards? Is it a bandit? How could there be such a kind bandit, and they came to Changzhou to send us food.

Liars, must be liars.

But although they must be liars, what if they actually send food? People are a little greedy in their hearts, and sometimes they will deceive themselves. Otherwise, why are there still so many clumsy liars in the 21st century?

Their deception is like being mentally retarded, but there are always people who fall for it.

In this place in the south of the Yangtze River, because Zhao Ji's indiscriminate distribution of Jiaozi has caused huge inflation, and all inflation, if not controlled, will eventually fall on the grain, so the people of Changzhou guard the granary but can't afford to eat rice.

Zhang Guo won Jiangnan so quickly, which is also an important reason.

However, Zhang Guo seized Jiangnan and established the Red Dynasty, but he did not have the ability to quickly stabilize prices. In order to stabilize prices, we must first decouple from the currency of the Great Song Dynasty.

If you still use the money of the Great Song Dynasty, the price will not be able to drop at all. Although the Red Dynasty was established, there was no shortage of money in the market, no more grain, and a little bit of various commodities, so inflation still persisted.

It is impossible for Zhang Guo to have Qin Mu's economic acumen.

If Qin Mu takes Jiangnan, his first step must be to abolish Jiaozi first, and then issue his own currency, and at the same time gradually eliminate the monetary attributes of copper coins and gold and silver.

And this alone was not enough, Qin Mu had to introduce a large number of light industrial products, and stipulate that these goods could only be purchased with new paper money.

After the two-pronged approach, the inflation in Jiangnan will be lifted immediately, and the quality of life of the people will be greatly improved immediately.

Zhang Guo has no such concept at all, he is still the traditional emperor thinking. The world is defeated, so naturally everything belongs to me for "enjoyment", as for the life and death of the people, it is not within the scope of Zhang Guo's consideration.

The Heavenly Master Army only controlled the yamen and warehouses, so that they had power and food and supplies, and as for the life and death of the local people, at least at this stage, there was no need to think about it at all - not many people starved to death anyway.

However, as a new regime, it was inevitable to take some measures to benefit the people, so the Tianshi army still opened some porridge fields to show Zhang Tianshi's benevolence.

At present, a small half of the fields near Changzhou have been harvested, the rice has been put into the warehouse, and the large and small granaries in the city are half full. The Heavenly Master Army is not short of food, so it is just a drop in the bucket to give some rice to the people.

"The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. ”

The Heavenly Master Army treats the people like this, so the people are also so-so towards the Heavenly Master Army.

Except for those who actively want to serve as soldiers and eat food, they have a good impression of the Heavenly Master Army, and most of the rest are the silent majority.

They didn't think the Heavenly Master Army was good, but they knew how bad the Great Song Dynasty was. In comparison, it is already good that the Red Dynasty is not bad.

But now a better wave of people has come, and they say they want to bring food to everyone. Even if it's a scammer, you might as well wait and see. Anyway, they didn't want to create the Heavenly Master Army by themselves, but they were kind enough to let everyone stay away from the battlefield.

Then stay away and see the excitement.

War, in Qin Mu's heart, is by no means just about firing guns. Pistols, rifles, machine guns, aircraft artillery and warships, these are the most superficial levels. War is a continuation of politics, and politics is more than just war.

Every time the Guards Regiment fights, it must have a clear goal. What we want to achieve through this war must not be a war for the sake of fighting.

This height, under Qin Mu's life-saving education, all the senior officers of the Guards Regiment have reached it.

According to the discussion at the pre-war meeting, they were clear about the objectives of the Guards Regiment in this Jiangnan campaign.

The goal is threefold. The most important thing is to open up the Grand Canal, expel the existence of the Heavenly Master Army in Jiangnan, and ensure the smooth flow of grain from Jiangnan to Weishan Lake.

Secondly, in this operation, it is necessary to fully publicize the existence of the Guards Regiment and the progressive image of the Guards Regiment that is different from the old army.

Finally, expand the sales space for Weishan Lake commodities, and at the same time secretly promote Weishan Lake's banknotes, so as to open up the situation for the benign development of Weishan Lake's economy.

In order to achieve these three goals, the importance of propaganda is highlighted at once. Qin Mu organized a propaganda team with the art troupe as the backbone, and at the same time with the medical team as the auxiliary, and their task was to let the people understand what benefits the Guards Regiment could give them through propaganda and explanation, and let them know that the Guards Regiment was a new army serving the people.

Therefore, the pre-war shouting is an indispensable part. Today is the first battle across the river, Wang Ying held the microphone, and her heart was extremely excited.

She knew that the first shot of the Jiangnan Battle was actually fired by herself!

Will he be able to be like Captain Qiu in the future, and be remembered in military history?

Wang Ying shouted outside the range of the Heavenly Master Army's largest weapon, and she didn't have to worry about the enemy hurting herself.

In fact, she didn't have to think about these questions at all, because the place where she shouted was in the headquarters. Next to him were Qin Mu and officers at all levels.

Her voice was transmitted through wires to a loudspeaker standing outside the city of Changzhou.

"Wireless is limited, wired is unlimited!"

This phrase is a common saying in the telecommunications industry. That is to say, the actual users of wireless networks are limited, while the theory of wired network users can be unlimited.

Gongsun Sheng has built a stable supply channel for tung oil, and Weishan Lake has a complete manufacturing capacity, so cable communication has been manufactured, and the Guards Regiment is the first user.

It was the first time for Wang Ying to sit in the front-line headquarters to broadcast, and this feeling made her blood boil. It was as if she had incarnated as a modern-day Mulan, and she was immediately facing the enemy.

Chong Yanchong was already stunned.

Is this Qin Mu's war? How to rely on a woman to shout. And why is this sound so loud, it is so shocking that my ears hurt - the front-line headquarters is not far from the city wall of Changzhou.

This horn is so powerful that it can be heard by the whole city, as well as by the natural command.

How did this woman do it?

Qin Mu looked at his watch, and then pointed to one of the propaganda drafts in Wang Ying's hand.

"The war is about to start, it's about to begin." Wang Ying read according to the reading: "Fathers and villagers of Changzhou City, please stay away from the north of the city, stay away from the north of the city, lest you be captured by the Heavenly Master Army and sent to death in vain." ”

Qin Mu is proficient in psychological warfare methods. On the surface, this passage is good for the people, so that they will not be injured by mistake, but in fact, of course, it is really good for the people.

But beneath the light, there is also a dark place. This sentence quietly put the Heavenly Master Army on the opposite side of the people, making the Heavenly Master Army the villain.

They will only take the people and send them to death.

Public opinion propaganda is also an important position! Qin Mu has deeply experienced this in the 21st century.

If I expand on this issue, I can write 12,000 to hundreds of thousands of words, and now the author will not write it, otherwise it will seem that I am cheating on the manuscript fee.

Everyone just needs to know that Qin Mu's understanding is not a rigid setting by the author, but a real understanding of this height.

"At nine o'clock, the Guards Regiment's crusade against the reactionary forces in Changzhou will start on time, and there are still ten minutes left, please leave the north of the city as soon as possible."

Wang Ying continued to shout according to the instructions. This is also Qin Mu's propaganda in one fell swoop. He wanted to characterize the Celestial Master Army as a reactionary force, and at the same time, he also wanted to popularize the concept of 24 hours, so as not to use the hour and the hour.

The hours were enough in the agricultural age, but they were too outdated in the industrial age. At this stage of science and technology, Qin Mu must let the people have the concept of hours and minutes. As for the "seconds", that's a matter of waiting.

Chong Yanchong felt that he might have crossed over. He came to a plane that didn't belong to him.

This is still the war he is familiar with, and all this makes him feel inexplicable.

Everything in the entire command was something he hadn't seen before. Even if it was as small as a cup, he didn't know what it was made of.

Not to mention the tents full of high-tech equipment.

Because the large appearance of the center of Weishan Lake has basically been built, Qin Mu can also liberate the capacity of the cabinet a little.

He got a set of large-screen display system, so that everyone could save the small laptop screen from being crowded.

The scene in Changzhou is being played on the big screen. The people in the city moved to the south like ants, and almost all the soldiers of the Heavenly Division Army ran to the northern part of the city.

Qin Mu switched to thermal imaging mode, and now it was even more obvious. Everyone is a hot spot, and these dense hot spots are concentrated in two directions.

Where there are more people, the hotspots are brighter.

After all, Chong Yanchong was young, and if he had changed the way of the teacher, he really wouldn't have understood all this, but Chong Yanchong even guessed and asked, and quickly figured out what these were.

This is the clairvoyance of the gods!

This thing is 10,000 times smarter than the telescope last night - of course, there was no such high-tech gadget during World War II, and the monocular was there during the Opium War, and the difference in technology between the two is hundreds of years!

Chong Yanchong now felt that he was a country boy, and suddenly came to the Heavenly Court of the Jade Emperor. The contrast was so great that he couldn't stand on his feet, and he stumbled to his chair.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that he is wearing a suit of armor - dozens of pounds of iron.

Wu Simiao saw him like this, so he poured a glass of water and handed it to him. This is also Qin Mu's explanation. Qin Mu wants to engage in a united front, the Chongjia Army is the object that Qin Mu is preparing to woo, and Chong Yanchong belongs to the figure who wants to be united front, so he can't embarrass his friends too much.

Chong Yanchong took the glass of water and rarely expressed his gratitude to Wu Simiao. This has never happened to the previous breeders.

In Chong Yanchong's cognition, women are just men's accessories, how can they be thanked, they should serve men.

However, Wu Simiao was dressed in the capable military uniform of the Guards Regiment, with short hair that was ear-length, and that kind of incomparable goddess temperament, so that Chong Yanchong did not dare to compare her with the women of this time and space.

This is also one of the immortals.

But what does nine o'clock mean? Chong Yanchong really doesn't have this concept. Qin Mu initially only poured forty watches, and these watches were extorted by Wang Qiao from the hands of the other members, and finally flowed to the market.

Chong Yanchong still doesn't have a watch. Such a treasure is not enough to grab in Bianliang City, which round will be divided by outsiders in the west.

He didn't know the watch, so he didn't have the concept of time.

He didn't know what it was at nine o'clock, but when he saw Qin Mu take the microphone and say the words "the battle begins", Chong Yanchong understood. It turns out that nine o'clock is a concept of time in the Guards Regiment.

He couldn't sit still.

Compared with Qin Mu, we are a little dirty, but we also have a good kung fu and a good gun.

Can shouting kill the enemy? Killing the enemy depends on Lao Tzu's gun.

He immediately got up to get his Gentian Bright Silver Spear, which was too long to fit into the Command Headquarters.

Qin Mu stopped him: "Uncle Dao, you can watch the battle here." ”

Chongyan Chong was stunned. How is it to "watch" the war, I want to fight!

Before he could comprehend the taste, he heard a thudding sound outside.

Deng Cheng's artillery battalion spoke!

The number of artillery battalions is smaller than that of infantry battalions, and one battalion is about three hundred people. At present, there are not enough mortars manufactured by the military factory, but with Qin Mu's upside down from later generations, there can be seventy or eighty mortars.

Seventy or eighty mortars fired at the same time, and this density of fire was simply unprecedented! That's inevitable! Before Qin Mu came, mortars did not exist in this time and space at all.

And never before had the Guards Regiment used so many mortars in large and small wars.

The accuracy of a mortar is much higher than that of a trebuchet.

After a school shot, it's a quick shot. The cannonballs were really dense like torrential rain, and they landed accurately on the north of the city wall of Changzhou.

Chong Yanchong saw the heads of the bombed people on the Changzhou city wall flying around on the screen, and the bricks and stones were scattered, and he was stunned, and he stood up unconsciously.

At this time, the young general suddenly had an idea, and he suddenly thought of the military significance of Qin Mu's shout just now.

Although those words were shouted to the people in the city, it was more important to shout to the defenders in the city.

When they heard the shouts, they knew that the focus of the Guards attack was in the north of the city, so naturally most of the men and horses moved to the wall in the north of the city.

With so many people gathered together, wouldn't it become the best target for mortars - Qin Mu told Chong Yanchong the correct name of the mortar.

Covered by the density of firepower that transcended time and space, the enemies on the city were killed almost instantly.

But Deng Cheng's firepower output did not stop.

According to Shi Zhi's instructions, he constantly changed his target, re-entered the new shooting elements, and shot the enemy's trebuchet, bed crossbow, and various large iron basins in turn.

Why the big iron basin? Because among the various weapons that defend the city in this time and space, there is an extremely unique existence - golden juice.

Although the name of this thing is high, it is actually boiled in an iron basin with feces and urine.

It's like a joke in later generations, someone roasted durian at home to eat, and the neighbor couldn't stand the stench and shouted directly: "Who cooks at home?" ”

The jokes of the afterlife do exist on this plane, and they are very common.

At this time, the side defending the city must cook. It's called gold juice, but it stinks.

However, although the gold juice stinks, the effect is good.

When the enemy climbs up the ladder, pouring such a pot of gold juice on his head will not only burn the enemy, but also cause the enemy's skin to ulcerate and cause infection.

In this time and space without antibiotics, large-scale skin infections can only wait for death.

But the weapon of gold juice is indeed to kill a thousand enemies and stink to kill three hundred of one's own people. Therefore, these big iron basins were placed a little farther away, otherwise the Heavenly Master Army was not killed by the enemy, but also stinked to death by its own gold juice.

At this time, Deng Cheng's mortar extended the blow and blew up all the big iron basins boiling with gold juice.

The walls were full of golden juice.

Shi Yi only frowned when he looked at itβ€”it stinks too. He didn't need to climb the walls himself, but the warriors did. As a high-ranking officer, he has to get some benefits for the soldiers.

It stinks, but what to do!

He picked up the phone and said to Deng Cheng: "Battalion Commander Deng, plow the city wall again and strive to give the soldiers a clean area." It also stinks. ”

Now the Guards are fighting completely beyond their own plane. However, it is difficult to say how far this level is.

At present, there are far more technological equipment than World War II - such as drones and real-time live broadcasts, but there are also mature wired and wireless communication systems in the field.

With wired telephones, Shi Yi can contact various combat units at any time.

He was the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Campaign this time, and Qin Mu only gave the order to "start the battle", after which he no longer interfered in specific military operations.

Deng Cheng understood what Shi Yi meant. Although he was not in the headquarters and could not see the situation on the city wall, he had long been clear about the equipment for defending the city in this time and space.

Shi Yi must have thought that the gold juice was blown up too much by himself.

Then keep fighting, concentrate your firepower, and blow up a clean space.

Since the completion of the construction of the arsenal, the supply of ammunition to the Guards Regiment has finally been completely resolved. At present, the team of 2,000 people cannot consume the output of the arsenal at all, so the Guards Regiment from top to bottom finally enjoyed the treatment of the US military during the Gulf War in advance - ammunition can be used!

The defenders of Changzhou City were completely unprepared and had been swept away.

In the north of the city, the Guards Regiment has been completely unfortified.

The infantry of the Guards Regiment began to charge. Their starting position was only a few hundred meters from the city of Changzhou, just outside the range of trebuchets, so they were not afraid of being wounded by enemy fire.

Such a short distance is not a matter at all in the eyes of the fighters of the Guards Regiment.

Their weekday training is a five-kilometer training every day, or they are fully armed, and even the cooking guys have to carry on their backs.

Now he didn't carry those burdens, but he just charged with a gun, and the speed was even faster and faster.

In less than a few minutes, the city walls of Changzhou were already planted with the military flags of the Guards Regiment!

Changzhou has changed hands.
