Combining a variety of factors, the artillery of Changsun Kingdom is not terrible, Yongxing City can completely make twenty-four catties of artillery to balance its power, in addition, the technical level can also solve the problem of range.

At present, the positive and negative firing range of breech artillery is between zero and 18 degrees in most cases, and if necessary, the firing range of 18 catties can be raised to 43 degrees, which can be used as howitzers, and the firing range can roughly cover within five miles.

Of course, the result will be that the cleaning is extremely time-consuming, requiring constant lowering and raising of the muzzle, which is extremely labor-intensive, greatly increases the reloading time, poor maneuverability, and completely negligible accuracy.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Liyan said:

"If the Changsun army continues to advance like this, I am afraid that before the summer of this year, it may attack Ganfu and Shangguan, unless our army can accelerate the advance, otherwise the three places may really not be guaranteed."

"Then Aiqing is willing to put on the battle again for the widow and go to the three counties quickly?"

"This ...... It's not that the minister can't, but the minister can't guarantee to take all three places. The time is too tight, and the eldest grandson is advancing too fast, and the first batch of cast cannons in Yongxing has not yet been completed, and it cannot be put into use for a while, even if the ministers are put into battle, it is difficult. However, if the king bestows the king's orders, the ministers will do whatever it takes to capture the three counties for the king. ”

"Okay, the widow will give you the position of deputy marshal immediately, and after the first month, you will rush to the front line immediately."

"No, the minister will never give up!"

Bailiyan did not hesitate at all, the three counties are related to the future pattern of the Central Plains, if they cannot be included in the bag, the national strength of the Xianguo will be greatly affected, there will not be enough domestic market and human resources to expand the economic space, not enough to support the original accumulation of resources that consolidate the foundation of Yongxing, and the land of the three counties must be laid.

"Does Aiqing have any other requirements?"

"Please allow the military battalion to accompany the expedition, and recruit capable young men aged thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen from all over the country to enter the military battalion for training, and those who are literate are preferred."

"The widow is allowed to play."

Gunpowder heralded the advent of a new era, which required the training of new officers and new ideas.

As soon as artillery appears, individual firearms will also be equipped one after another in the near future, and the existing military combat systems and regulations will no longer be able to adapt to the tide of the times, and will not advance without reform, and are destined to be abandoned by generations.

The hundred young men selected more than ten years ago have gone through a hundred battles, and the survivors can be counted on one hand except for Jiang Jie.

Nowadays, the era is pushed to the cusp of change, when the technological generation gap is narrowed to the smallest detail, people will determine the final victory. When the youth is strong, the country is strong, and the same is true for the army.

King Xian was very anxious, and was afraid of the "Tianwei General Cannon" of the Changsun Kingdom, in view of this, Bai Liyan did not mention the potential threat, let alone the strong civilization in the far north, no matter how much he said, with the limitations of King Xian's thinking, he was neither interested nor able to understand to think about more long-term and unattainable things.

When they left the palace, it was still early, and Bai Liyan and Jiang Jie said while walking:

"King Xian has ordered Benhou to go on the expedition, just after the first month, you will also go home to accompany your wife and children more these days, this is a short year and a half years, and the long is two years, maybe you can go back."

"So, the king wants to reuse the Hou Ye again?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy. This time, the military battalion will accompany him, and recruit 1,000 literate young men aged 13, 14, and 15 from all over the country to join the army. The military drill is the responsibility of the military battalion. There is no need to fight under any circumstances, just stay in the rear and train. ”

"What does Master Hou want these young people to do?" Jiang Jie was puzzled.

"This time is different from the previous one hundred of you, these young men are not mainly fighting, in the future, Yongxing City will produce more powerful weapons, and more suitable military attachés are needed to train soldiers and horses, so we must pay close attention to training military attachés now, otherwise it will be too late."

"Then Wu Deng and Lu Cheng's son, who is only eleven or twelve years old this year, do you want to bring them together?"

"No need, Wu Deng and Lu Cheng are such a lone seedling, we can't be sorry for them, let them study with peace of mind, succeed in their studies in the future, and be a master craftsman."

Wu Deng, Lu Cheng each have two sons, the Southern Expedition was less than two years old, the eldest was only three years old, after the two were killed, Wu Deng's wife and Lu Cheng's original partner Wang Yunzhi were arranged to work in the department store, and the four sons studied in the Xinling School, and the expenses were paid by the Hou Mansion.

In two more years, you can send them to Yongxing City Academy to further study mathematics and other subjects, and become a master or a master in the future, and live a stable life to pass on the ancestry, which can be regarded as a little compensation from Bailiyan to Wu Deng and Lu Cheng.

When they returned home, Jiang Rong and Chen Yunfeng had not yet returned from the department store, and Bai Liyan told Zhao Anling about the situation.

Zhao Anling is now resident in the Hou Mansion, and Bailiyan specially set up a mansion for Zhao Anling and his wife in a corner of the backyard, so that there can be someone to discuss at any time. Zong Botai is stationed in Yongxing City, and it is not appropriate for him to show up often.

King Xian is very familiar with the personnel situation in the palace, some are from secret agents, some are Qiao County Lords, and he has also asked about the situation of the six surnames of the Zhao family and Zhao Anling many times before, and also proposed to take Zhao Anling to his side to listen to it. Bailiyan let Zhao Anling choose by himself, and King Xian finally failed to poach Zhao Anling.

Bailiyan's understanding is that Zhao Anling did not have the idea of assisting King Xian, and even gave advice to Bailiyan, which was also deeply influenced by Zong Botai.

"Mr. Zhao, how do you think the situation is broken now?"

"There are still variables, one of them is the Shengyan Heavenly King, this person is commendable, but the wisdom is mediocre, under the heavy army of the eldest grandson, and then there are strategists to help, its defeat is not an accident. Unexpectedly, the power of the eldest grandson's firearms increased sharply, and the speed of defeat was unexpected. If one of the two heavenly kings of Thunder and Divine Power was in charge of Nuotang, he would not be defeated so easily.

Second, the eldest grandson army has always been arrogant and domineering, this time even under the two counties, must be arrogant and arrogant, with thunder, magic two people with military strategy, Ganfu, Changyin, Shangguan, Xiaguan, Wanchuan is now deadlocked confrontation, if it secretly draws troops to the north, from the back of a sudden blow, the eldest grandson is afraid that it will be defeated, and I think there is a great possibility, most of them are already on the way.

Third, Gongsun Yue is still profitable, and now the princes of various countries are fighting for the Central Plains, and the end of the Black Turban Army is approaching. If the Xian army is unable to fight quickly, the only way to persuade the Black Turban to surrender as soon as possible is to persuade the Black Turban to surrender. ”

"It's probably not easy to convince the black scarf." Bai Liyan said helplessly: "Ganfu is now under the possession of the Divine Power Heavenly King, this person Benhou knows it very well, he is ruthless and stubborn, and it is difficult to succeed in asking him to surrender." And the main force of the Xiong Dao is mostly in the south and southwest of the Sun Kingdom, even if it has the heart, it will not be of much benefit to the eastern battlefield of the Sun Kingdom. ”

"Then Master Hou has thought of others, such as Chen Hanxin and others."

"Shhh...... Chen Hanxin! Chen Hanxin's headquarters has long been exhausted, and now he is just a pawn at best, what use can it be? ”

"Hou Ye has forgotten that this black scarf is headed by the Sun people, followed by the slave army, followed by the Xu people, and then the Zhiguo, Weiguo, Xianguo, Changsun and other countries, after more than ten years of fierce battles, the black scarf factions are huge, and the soldiers of various countries are full of injustice and dissatisfaction.

If Chen Hanxin can be persuaded to do the activities on his behalf, it may be a shortcut. This method is the method of pushing the wall and digging the feet first, even if the supernatural king is stubborn, is it difficult for his subordinates to be willing to be buried together? ”

"I see, Ben Hou has been trapped in the court for many years, why didn't he think of this! Yes, it works. ”

No matter how strong the fortress is, it is often breached from within, and the Black Turban Army is not monolithic inside, and its internal factions are many hierarchical and hierarchical, and at the beginning of the war, they can still superstitious and liberator themselves, and mobilize the enthusiasm of those who have been oppressed and rose up to resist.

With the protracted war and military defeats on the battlefield, its superstitious public opinion and invincible deification have disappeared, and will be replaced by war-weariness, corruption, and superstition, which will gradually be reflected in reality.

For more than 10 years, the Black Turban Army not only did not actively adjust its internal policy to develop production, but continued to use military force to feed the war, and after the wealth and materials accumulated in the early years were exhausted in the war, the loss of its peripheral territory caused it to lose a large amount of economic resources that could be squeezed, and all the treatment and sense of freedom enjoyed by the common people after the early liberation were returned to their original form after the material consumption was exhausted.

At present, the financial and material resources required to maintain an army of 1.5 million people are ultimately pressed on the common people in the areas under his rule, and over time, the contradictions and divisions within it have become increasingly prominent under the unfair distribution.

Bailiyan has lived in the court for many years, and has developed a mindset of capturing the thief and capturing the king first. Trying to convince the leader first to achieve top-down disintegration, once encountering resistance, the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first will fail.

In a sense, the intelligence and rebellion work based on agents and the bottom is precisely an effective strategy to shake the foundation and shake the behemoth in moisturizing things silently.

At the beginning of the Black Turban Army's uprising, it all started with infiltrating and plotting against the grassroots army, and then lured and coerced the main general from the bottom up.

This is like digging the foot of the wall, the corner of the wall is gone, the foundation is loose, and no matter how tall the building is, it will overturn, Bailiyan has been bound to the court for many years, and his vision is also high, but he also ignores the importance of grassroots intelligence and rebellion work.

When I went to bed that night, seeing that the lights in Jiang Rong's bedroom were not extinguished, Bailiyan pushed the door and entered:

"Haven't slept yet?"

"Well, prepare some things for Mr. Chen to bring to my little nephew."

"What if it's a niece."

When Jiang Rong heard the news, she raised her thick eyebrows and said with a frightened face:

"Hmph, you think it's all like you, but my brother is a son."

"Oh...... That's that, how can Guangxin Gong give birth to a daughter. ”

At present, male power is in power, medicine is not developed, and the birth of boys and girls is blamed on women's bad lives. But when it comes to Bailiyan, it has become a negative teaching material, the seven-room wife gives birth to eight daughters, I am afraid this is not a problem of a woman's bad life, but a man's bad life.

Now as long as the boy is mentioned, it is like the reverse scales on his body, which cannot be touched.

"By the way, it's so late, you don't go to Xiao Qi, come to me to do something. It's not that you can't figure it out, Tang Tao won't let you go easily. ”

Jiang Rong said while cleaning up. Bai Liyan sat aside, hugged her small waist, and whispered:

"Don't I have something to tell you?"

"Hmph, I know it's not good for you to come, let's say, I want money or goods." Jiang Rong ignored it and continued to bow her head to prepare the gift.

Bai Liyan paused and said carefully:

"Uh...... That's the case, the front line is tight during the war, and the king ordered me to rush to the front line to command the troops after the first month, so after the first month, I will go on the expedition, and you will be more responsible at home. ”

Jiang Rong's heart twitched, she lowered her head and was stunned for a while, seeing that she was silent and did not raise her head, Bai Liyan comforted and said:

"I know, you don't want me to go, but it's hard for the king's life, and for the sake of this world, the husband has to give up."

Jiang Rong raised her head at this time, and her eyes flashed with a woman's strength and affection:

"Tens of thousands of miles have been rushed, and I still care about this mere two or three thousand miles, so you can rest assured that you can go, and I will take care of it at home."

"It's still Rong'er who knows my heart best, now it's not ten years ago, there is no need to fight on the battlefield for a husband, there will be no worries about your life here, as short as a year and a half, or as long as two years to return, don't worry about me."

"Well, I know ......"

Jiang Rong clinged to Baili Yan's arms, her eyes were hidden with tears, and she was hastily covered up under the dim light.
