Chapter 340
The defeat of Fengcheng Marquis Li Xian's army is still an open secret in the south.
The southern scholars just wanted to hinder the speed of Li Xian's suppression of bandits, so that they could take time to dig out more silver from the mine, precious metals are hard currency, and they will not be outdated at any time, so even if they yin Li Xian, they will not deliberately publicize this matter, after all, among the bigwigs of the foreign dynasty, there are still southerners, and at this time, it is not to find fault for the spokesperson of their family in the court.
The winning side made a fortune in a muffled voice, and the losing side obviously wouldn't hit itself in the face, so when Yang Shangjing, Uncle Zhong, Xu Shangyong, and Liu Qidao talked about it, they still did it in the secret room, for fear that there would be too many people and cause trouble.
"Where there is a loss, there must be a victory, otherwise even if the Marquis of Fengcheng is hard and has lost repeatedly, it will not be able to hide it." The well-informed Uncle Zhong said in a deep voice, and took out a piece of straw paper from his sleeve, "The blade that has added a lot of trouble to the officers and soldiers, that is, the so-called wolf whire, is actually rough in workmanship, but it is a bamboo and an iron spear head, the purpose is to make it difficult to cut the knife of the officers and soldiers and pull it out. ”
Liu Qidao heard this, his eyes glanced at the drawing, and he instantly understood: "As long as you don't fight with the thieves in close combat, you only need a crossbow to shoot from a long distance, even if you are wearing armor, you will also be killed, but the cost of the bow and crossbow is too great, and it is not easy to maintain, if you want to kill the enemy in this way, you can't bypass Nanzhili's pass after all." ”
The bow is the king of a hundred, what sword, knife and the like, put it behind, otherwise, why was it called "400,000 strings" in the heyday of the Turks, instead of "400,000 swords"? Even if these mine thieves robbed the armor of the imperial court, they couldn't prevent the bows and arrows of the imperial court.
Rookies peck each other, it's nothing else, it's morale, it's complicated, it's actually that simple.
However, the use of bows and arrows is actually quite difficult, first of all, it is a matter of training, philosophy consumes a lot of arrows, which is all money, after all, even if you can't require archers to be condors, but you can't shoot an arrow directly into the butt of the person in front of you, right? And the maintenance of the bow, is a science, in those hills in northern Fujian, there are many trees and mountains, it is inconvenient to use a bow, the humidity is very large, after the bowstring is damp, the power of the arrows shot out of thin air will be less than half, even if it is not as difficult as the water army, it is not too bad.
Therefore, it is still a matter of money, and it is also appropriate for the bigwigs of the household department and the military department of Nanzhili to scold their mothers.
"The Marquis of Fengcheng is a famous residence in the imperial court, you and I can think of it, and the Hou Ye will definitely be able to think of it." When Xu Shangyong spoke, his expression was a little strange, "Lang Zhong just gave Nan Zhili a letter and asked for a large number of weapons, presumably the same is true of the Marquis of Fengcheng, right?" ”
Yang Shangjing nodded, and the expression on his face was also very strange: "Both sides stretched out their hands to ask for money, this Gong Gong of Nanzhili must also be worried, right?" ”
As soon as the voice changed, Yang Shangjing cut to the point: "This wolf is a thing, that is, the mine thieves can take local materials and cast, we and other officials and soldiers, it must not be difficult to do it, right?" Although the sword is sharp, it cuts into the wolf's sword, and if you want to pull it out, it will take some time, as long as this thing is used properly, it is always a sharp weapon. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of the remaining three people present lit up.
Although the Ming army and the mine thief were placed on the same level, the official face was a little unreasonable, however, all the people present were their own people, grasshoppers on a rope, who would care about this? The reason why it is difficult to exterminate the Japanese is because the vast majority of the real Japanese pirates are Japanese ronins and samurai, and these people are also members of the aristocratic class in China, which is the lowest level, and they are also nobles.
And when the Ming army dealt with the mining thieves, the advantage in weapons was the same as when the Ming army was against the Ming army, no matter how rough the workmanship of the Ming Ordnance Bureau was, as long as it could pass the inspection, it would be stronger than the garbage in the small workshop in the hands of the miners, and no matter how bad the katana in the hands of the real Japanese wouldn't be bad, it was also made by Japanese blacksmiths Seiko, and the same goods produced by the assembly line of the Ming Dynasty Ordnance Bureau would be thrown out a few streets.
In fact, on the original historical line, the reason why the Qi family army was able to win consecutive battles was to improve the organization of the soldiers, playing Mandarin Duck Town and the Japanese Kou, and the other, and most importantly, is the use of the Wolf Scoop, which can offset the sharpness of the Japanese knives at a long distance and narrow the gap between the two sides.
