Chapter 535: Preparation
The founding ceremony ended after the New Year's dinner.
Liu Yong began his journey as emperor. This is a new challenge for him, not only to run a country, but also to defeat the invaders.
Early in the morning, he once again stood in the courtyard of the Qingxin Palace and looked up to the north. There is a rush of thoughts in my head. Starting from Qingshen County, all the way to the past 20 years of ups and downs, there are various titles on his head. Finally, there is the yellow robe.
This was indeed something he did not expect.
But at this time, he also felt the importance of what he thought. The world is changing. The Tatars went on an expedition to the east and west, killing all over the world. Brave and invincible. This will be Liu Yong's biggest test.
The main preparation of the world is to prepare for war.
The sick god has already begun to train soldiers for this. Liu Yong asked him to build several armies of the wall of fire to use against the cavalry of the Tarslaves. On this small island, there is no way to train cavalry. The only way to defeat the formidable Tatar cavalry was to rely on muskets.
And this is Liu Yong's killer feature. At this time, although there was gunpowder, it was still a few hundred years before it was used as a weapon.
If there is a strong musketeer army at this time, it will be invincible.
He ordered the arsenal to ramp up production with at least a musketeer of 50,000 men. Others also use cold weapons. And finally, artillery. This is a weapon to open the Tarslave defenses.
As emperor, Liu Yong had to inspect the school grounds every few days. This also gave great encouragement to the soldiers. Most of these soldiers were Han Chinese. There are also a small number of Isis, Malays, and Boras. But these are only 12 out of 100. They're all running for money. Because Liu Yong's army is all mercenaries.
The building of the army is proceeding in an orderly manner. And the production on the island is just as orderly. The royal businesses are beginning to make a lot of profits. Private businesses are also booming.
The large harbor is constantly frequented by merchant ships on a daily basis. Ship the high-end products produced on the island of the Lion City to Isis in the west and then to the Loren Empire in Bazhou.
The revenues from taxation and royal corporations were sufficient to support the functioning of the state and the building of the army. And the gold in South Africa is still coming in a steady stream. Although it is getting less and less, it is still Liu Yonghuang's biggest income.
Liu Yong had to accumulate a lot of wealth at this time, and he predicted that the war with the Tatars would be long. Although the Tatars were poor, they occupied a large amount of land, which was their greatest capital.
So Liu Yong, you dare to slacken, if you are not prepared, it is impossible for him to attack rashly.
Liu Yong's dispatch to the Tatar slaves sent a message almost every month. Now the Tatars are concentrating their forces to fight westward. I have not heard of the founding of Liu Yong in the south.
Liu Yong wants this effect, so that he has enough time to develop. Time was of the essence for him. In order to gain time for development, Liu Yong did not spread it around after the founding of the People's Republic of China. So as not to make the Tatars wonder. After all, he established the Han Chinese regime.
This will touch the nerves of the Tarnus.
At every court meeting, Liu Yong had to tell all the ministers that they must do their best, and in order to counterattack the Tartars, you must tighten your nerves every day, and you must not slack off.
The Han people on the other side of the Tanuyang Dynasty continued to smuggle towards Shicheng Island. And Liu Yong was also very careful, he ordered that the people who were smuggled in must be investigated in detail, and the fine work could not be allowed to get in, let alone the Tatar slaves to get in.
And such an investigation began on the ship that received it in the middle, and as soon as it was discovered, Hosaku and Tarslave were immediately killed. This is also the first line of defense against the Tatar blockade of the Lion City Island.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles. At this time, Liu Yong just wants to understand the enemy, but the enemy does not know his own situation.
In the two years since the Tatar slaves conquered Dahua, they imposed brutal rule. To the Chinese people like pigs and dogs. The people who smuggled to the Sinicization Dynasty all hated the Tartar slaves.
Liu Yong has already determined the time to blow the horn of the counterattack. That was the end of the third year. He wanted to open the gap to the interior of the Yang Dynasty with his strong ships and cannons. Just like the British Empire in later generations treated the late sunshine.
This is Liu Yong's routine. As long as you lay a coastal land, once as a base area, then advance inland. Conquer everywhere until the Tartars are driven back to Mobei, never to appear again.
There is less than a year left. Liu Yong asked all departments to step up their preparations. These days, he has been paying attention to these 50,000 people. Watch them rehearse. He demanded that every soldier be a sharpshooter.
You must be steady and ruthless against cavalry, and you have to kill a cavalryman with one shot.
Under Liu Yong's instruction, the muskets developed by the arsenal maximized the firing range, and the maximum firing range of each musket was 50 zhang away. This is about a dozen feet longer than the range of the cavalry's bow and arrow, which is the advantage. Moreover, Liu Yong almost dressed all the musketeers in iron armor. They are required to shoot as soon as they are within range.
Makes it impossible for cavalry on multiple sides to shoot bows and arrows.
Therefore, the sense of distance is the focus of training musketeers.
In order to deal with the cavalry of the Tarnus, officers such as Liu Yong and Wu Qing conducted several studies. It was concluded that the main combat strength of the Tarnu cavalry was on their horses. Their horses have the ability to run long distances, and they are especially not afraid of battle, and they are excited when they fight. Desperately rush forward to kill.
The other is the cavalry, they are good at bows and arrows, and they are immediately skilled. That's why they're invincible.
So, through research, the final conclusion is drawn. If you want to counterattack the Tarnus, the first battlefield to find is best in the mountains. In this way, the cavalry of the Tatars could not play a role. This can be used as a base.
The strategic objectives have been achieved. Just waiting for the teacher.
Stepping up training is Liu Yong's requirement for the army. And this expedition, he wants to drive the expedition in person. As the queen, Lin Qingrou agreed. She knew Liu Yong's determination.
And Ouyang Lanlan and others were slightly opposed. After all, Liu Yong is already the emperor, and he doesn't need to go out in person to fight such a thing.
However, Liu Yong believed that if he wanted to recapture the rivers and mountains, he had to go out in person.
When Liu Yong was away, he let Yanping come to supervise the country. Yanping doesn't need to go to South Africa now. Because now it's okay to go for a while in two years.
The end of the year is getting closer and closer, and the time to go out is approaching.
The army began to assemble and prepare for departure.
Although there are people in Lion City Island who know that the emperor is going to take the imperial expedition and attack the Tarslaves. They rejoiced and prayed to the emperor for a victorious start.
Liu Yong took six personal guards and prepared to lead the army to advance. And Yun'er wanted to follow Liu Yong. Liu Yong also knows that he must always have someone to take care of his life when he goes out. Although he also brought a few palace daughters and eunuchs. But Yun'er is also a companion.
The flotilla has been assembled.
