Without the participation of his sons, Liu Yong had no choice but to discuss with the ministers. Chen An, Wu Qing, and Zhao Liang were the ministers who were mainly involved. Moreover, it was Liu Yong who inspired them to deploy before the war.

Wu Qing is a general, so he naturally understands things on the front line better. He felt that attacking the Tatars should be attacked in all directions. Because in terms of troops, the army of the Hua Han Dynasty was more than capable of spreading out a huge all-out war, rather than a local blow.

Liu Yong agrees. I asked what Chen An and Zhao Liang thought.

Chen An said: "Returning to Your Majesty, Chen feels that Minister Wu once fought on the front line as a general, so he naturally has more experience in how to attack the Tatar slaves. Chan agrees with Minister Wu's strategy. ”

Zhao Liang said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that how to attack the Tatar slaves depends on the specific situation. The minister is more inclined to attack in a big way, but to increase his efforts at a certain point. ”

After listening to Zhao Liang's words, Liu Yong nodded and said, "You also mean that you are in favor of an all-out attack, but the focus is on it, not on rushing up." ”

Zhao Liang listened to Liu Yong's words, nodded and said, "That's what the minister meant." ”

"Well, you've got a good strategy. I'm wondering where to use heavy troops? It's definitely not going to work on the water. Liu Yong said.

Wu Qing opened his mouth at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to focus on attacking the Tatar slaves through Pingliang Prefecture. ”

Liu Yong frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that the Tatar slave army must also have the tightest garrison of Pingliang Prefecture. ”

Zhao Liang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that attacking the most heavily guarded place of the Tatar slave army. As long as it is taken down, then the superiority of our army over the Tatar army will immediately become apparent. At the same time, it can also deal a heavy blow to the Tatar army, even if it can't hurt their vitality, it can also break their muscles and bones. ”

After Liu Yong heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, capture the thief and capture the king first, this strategy is good, it is neat." ”

Wu Qing said, "Your Majesty, if you follow what Lord Zhao said, will it be a bit risky?" ”

Liu Yong said: "There must be dangers, and if we lose, then this all-out war will probably have to be postponed." But as soon as we win, the Tatars will be driven to the edge of a precipice. The next thing to see is how sure we are when we directly attack the strongest garrison of the Tatar army. As long as there are more than six floors, I think I can do this. ”

Zhao Liang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can be more than sixty percent sure. ”

"How so?" Liu Yong asked.

Zhao Liang said: "Your Majesty, just with our powerful firearms, it is enough to occupy sixty percent. ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Well, at this point, the Tatar slave army can't compare with us. What else? ”

Zhao Liang continued: "Also, the current combat strength of the Tatar army is no longer as brave as it used to be. Moreover, the Tatar army, except for the cavalry, has not yet been able to match the combat effectiveness of our infantry of the Huahan Dynasty. This is also an aspect that the minister is optimistic about. In addition, we have many generals who can fight well, and the good generals of the Tatar army are in a period of scarcity. This point cannot be ignored. ”

Liu Yong nodded, asked Wu Qing and Chen An, and said, "You two can also talk about it." Do you agree with Zhao Liang's statement? ”

Chen An and Zhao Liang glanced at each other, and Chen An said: "Chen listens to Lord Zhao's words!" ”

Wu Qing also said: "The minister also feels that he is reasonable. However, we can't afford to play lightly. ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Naturally, you can't underestimate the enemy. However, it remains clear what our advantages are. The most powerful thing in the Tatar army is the cavalry. And our firearms are just right against them, especially artillery. ”

Wu Qing said again: "Your Majesty, judging from the battle report of the Gao Tang Dynasty, the cavalry of the Tatar slave army has also made targeted tactics against our army's artillery. For example, last year, when the Tatar army faced our artillery, it would use scattered, armed and extremely fast cavalry to attack our artillery. Then the other cavalry quickly killed and caught our army by surprise. And this tactic also worked in one or two battles. However, this tactic was later broken by Gao Tang and others.

However, the ministers are sure that the Tatar army will not stop there, and will still study other tactics against our firearms. Moreover, Chen also learned that in the two failed battles last year, hundreds of muskets were captured by the Tatars. It's been more than half a year. I don't know if the Tatars have copied it. However, it should be, no, at least in the last few military reports from Gaotang, there is no mention of this matter. ”

Liu Yong said: "Don't worry about this, even if the Tatars can imitate muskets, they can't make bullets." ”

Chen An nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is that the Tatar slaves will not have this process of making bullets, and the gunpowder in it still has a formula, and this Tatar will not have it." ”

Wu Qing also said: "Don't say it's a bullet, I think that the Tatars who only know how to ride horses can't even imitate fire robbery." They simply don't have such technology. Chen knew that there were many fine parts in this fire robbery, and it would be useless to give them another ten or twenty years. At this point, the minister is still quite confident. ”

Wu Qing is right, now in this land of Middle-earth, almost all the skilled craftsmen are Han Chinese, and they are all in this rich south. There really can't be such skilled craftsmen on the Tatar slave side, and even if they do, I'm afraid they won't give them their lives. Even if you give them your life, the production efficiency will not be very high. Because Liu Yong's production here is all made of molds. The production efficiency is amazing, and the specifications and quality of the products are highly uniform, which is completely different from hand-made.

To put it bluntly, it is efficiency and quality control. It can't be done without modern production. Although Liu Yong's factory is not completely modern, it is still very qualified in terms of quality control.

The muskets produced in the arsenal are almost all the same, and there is no difference to be seen. If it's handmade, it's probably a lot of difference. How can such a gun go to the battlefield? Before he could kill the enemy, he would probably go off and kill his accomplices.

So this, as Wu Qing said, is full of confidence.

It is true that the Great Yang Dynasty has launched several nationwide high-paying recruitments for this purpose, but it has not recruited a single person who can make a musket. Even if someone is eager to try for a high salary, there are people who are scared back by the efficiency required by the imperial court.

They felt that it would take at least three months for one person to build such a delicate musket. This is already working overtime. And Liu Yong's side will take a few hours. The return of the financial empire
