Chapter 403: The Autumn of Events and the Autumn of Fruits—10
Unlike the gradual improvement on other fronts, Zhao Yun's situation on the battlefield on the northern front has now become more and more dangerous, at least the guy named Yang Feng standing opposite him has really caused him a lot of trouble. According to the original historical trajectory, this guy will play an important role in the process of Emperor Han Xian's eastward migration, but unfortunately, the current Emperor Han Xian has already run to Cao Cao's place, giving him a great opportunity to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. But. To some extent, this put Yang Feng and her Bai Bojun in a different situation. With no emperor by their side, they had to shuttle through the mountains, taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to resist step by step.
Zhao Yun is very depressed, although in terms of the battlefield situation, he has basically reversed the unfavorable situation, but unfortunately, the victory is in front of him, still hiding outside the clouds, so that he does not know how to solve the battle in a short and peaceful way, if it is consumed here, I am afraid that the entire Liangzhou system will be dragged down because of him.
After all, Suning now has infrastructure construction projects that readers need to carry out, and the funds may become extremely tight, coupled with the economic changes brought about by inflation, I am afraid that there will be problems with the payment of military salaries for his soldiers, and for the Liangzhou system, which has always advertised excellent logistics support, once there is any problem in the distribution of food and salary, the impact on the army will be huge.
However, Suning didn't realize this at all, and in order to be able to distribute all the stocks in the treasury, he simply advanced the soldiers' salaries for two years. This move frightened the soldiers into a little panic. For a long time, they have only heard of the arrears of military salaries, and have not heard any general say that there is still a good thing in the world to pay military salaries in advance, but they listened carefully, and they understood the reason, in the next 24 months, they will only receive 55% of the military salary, because 45% has been distributed to them today, but half of them will be forced to buy shares in some large companies, The other half will be stuffed into the fledgling banking system as cash reserves. When they complete this military operation, they can return to the station to deal with these financial problems, as for the supply of food, Suning has never been counted in the military salary.
So when these guys were eating, there were only two things left to talk about, it must be when Zhao Yun gave the order for the general attack, they couldn't wait to go back, and wanted to deal with the large amount of income that came in advance, and the other question was whether they should sell those shares? If so, shouldn't we put another part of the money into it? You have to know that in recent days. The stock prices of those companies soared into the sky like fireworks on the 15th of the year.
In addition, there are quite a few children from school who have always believed that the shares selected by Suning for them are not the best companies, so they are clamoring to change to other companies in advance, and think that Suning should consult them in advance before they can exchange the money for the corresponding shares. And this is not a big labor cost for Suning, because the statistics only need to return with the soldiers who are transporting food.
However, their perception of Suning is obviously still a few years ago, because Suning has invested heavily in a radio communication company in the past few days.
Now the Weishui Group has firmly grasped Edison's company, and its own shares have been diluted to less than 20%, and Edison's inventions have not yet received sufficient returns in the market based on the agreements signed before, if the sales volume does not rise significantly, then Edison's return will be very limited. So he now urgently needs to promote his new products within the Liangzhou system, but unfortunately, the sales staff don't seem to cooperate much, and if the sales are not good, he can't get that kind of ladder reward, no reward no money, no money can not reverse buy his own shares, if this development continues, he will become a part-time worker completely.
But Suning still has great hopes for his small company, even without Edison, the few scientists who are about to be summoned will be able to become the pillars of this place, so he didn't deceive his soldiers in this regard, those children just don't know that he has entered the electromagnetic era with the construction of the Liangzhou system.
Zhao Yun has a relatively clear understanding of this point, after all, he has stayed near the industrial park all the year round, and he is one of the military generals who knows the most about those scientific research projects outside of Gan Ning, but now he is not in the mood to discuss this issue with the United States with his own affairs, and he does not think that this is a good way to stabilize the morale of the military.
If he wanted to get close to the clan, he could have communicated with them, but unfortunately, now he was being made unable to advance or retreat by the White Bo army on the other side.
The other party's use of terrain has almost reached the point of reaching the peak. Yang Feng is really not simple, especially after getting a group of soldiers who know how to escape, their mobility ability has been greatly improved, which makes Zhao Yun dare not easily take a large-scale detour, so he can only slowly look for opportunities from the front, such a battle is very hard, although this is not a difficult place to attack, but it is undeniable that their group of children from Guanzhong is too obvious for the people of Bingzhou.
The endless sneak attacks made them deal with it for a while. For the constant threat of grain and grass supply lines, they almost lost all confidence. Fortunately, Suning also attaches great importance to things such as transporting grain and grass, so he has suffered a few losses for Fang Cai, and now he does not dare to ensure that Xinsi reaches that aspect, but this is not Zhao Yun's credit, nor is it the breakthrough he wants to find.
Now to be able to gradually encroach and narrow the strategic way of their activities, it must be the best effort that Zhao Yun can make, if there is no decisive thing, I am afraid that this battle will be a waste of time, and finally decide the winner, but that result is what Zhao Yun does not want to see, because it means a huge drag for the Liangzhou system, which has become the consensus between him and Suning a long time ago, but Suning only cares about implementing his reform pilot, forgetting the battlefield of Bingzhou, There is still such a war going on.
Fortunately, Suning is not a too forgetful guy, and when conditions allow, his memory soon began to remind him that he should pay attention to the changes in the situation in the direction of the state.
Surprisingly, the military industrial system can provide Suning with an epoch-making weapon, although their physical research has entered the 19th century, but their weapon production is still stuck at the level of the 17th century, so the gun, after five years of experiments, was finally approved to be installed in the soldiers. Tiger squat cannons of various calibers, as well as more advanced bronze or iron cannons, are also allowed to become the standard equipment of the army.
This news was not known to many people. Even Guan Yu, who was guarding Luoyang on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, knew little about this, but Wang Anshi, who was close at hand, put forward his own armor protection method at the first time, he believed that the perfect time to train the militia had come, because the use of the rifle was extremely simple, if it could be handed over to the militia to use, it would be recruited for the Liangzhou system in a short period of time, a large number of troops with considerable combat effectiveness, but unfortunately, his reform plan for the entrapment law was immediately resolutely opposed by the base camp.
Wang Anshi was very dissatisfied with this, and he immediately launched a pen and ink lawsuit with the base camp, and the issue was of course sent to Suning for adjudication, but Suning did not hesitate to veto Wang Anshi's proposal.
Wang Anshi started a pen and ink lawsuit with Suning for no reason, and it was openly carried out in the newspaper, and as a result, all the relevant articles he submitted to the newspaper were detained by the north room, and none of them could be met with the public.
Wang Anshi didn't know why, so he directly wrote a private letter to criticize Suning and Suning, but he didn't let it go at all, compared to the spicy level of writing, he, a university professor for more than 20 years, also refused to let Wang be beautiful, so the two started a fierce battle.
Wang Anshi's armor protection law is to advocate the natural village as a unit to make full use of the peasants' leisure time for military training, in order to cultivate sufficient military literacy, at any time to deal with the possible outbreak of war, which in the later dynasties, have become the same existence, even after the arrival of the new China City, the militia system is still for a long time, as an important military talent reserve and training of the country.
So from this point of view, his ability to foresee history is better than that of many politicians of the time, but it is undeniable that his overconfidence in his own policies has also caused many historical problems.
For example, Suning resolutely objected, demanding that those ruffians and hooligans not enter the trap and use the rights granted by the imperial court to bully the common people in disguise, which will lead to more local contradictions and may endanger the full trust of the government.
At the same time, he stressed that the entrapment method would give the localities a stronger ability to separatize, so he believed that conscription should always be the main source of national defense strength, and that all advanced weapons should be prioritized by recruited soldiers, rather than those who were set aside by the local paramilitaries.
Wang Anshi naturally realized some mistakes in his policy after encountering Suning's tough counterattack, but he was a typical stubborn temper and refused to admit his mistakes easily, and pointed out that if the regular army of the Liangzhou system had better weapons in the future, these backward weapons could be issued to the militia.
But Suning still replied and gave a stern reprimand. He claimed that under the protection of the powerful border guards, ordinary people did not need to carry guns in their hands, and that they needed to familiarize themselves with the use of these guns when they were bored, just like they would with a water spray dragon at home.
This kind of water spray wooden dragon is designed according to a certain fire-fighting tool of the Song Dynasty, it can draw nearby water sources in a short time, and then spray to the place where it is needed with a faster speed and a larger height.
After all, in the era when this kind of wooden structure building was common in ancient times, it was still necessary to beware of Zhurong.
Wang Anshi, a person from the Northern Song Dynasty, of course, knew the truth very well, so he couldn't continue to argue with Suning, but chose to quietly observe the war situation in the north.
What did not surprise him was the state of war in the North, which was rapidly gaining ground on a large scale with the help of a group of soldiers who had just been equipped with flintlock muskets.
Zhao Yun didn't expect that this group of guards, who were originally responsible for guarding the silver vault, would be equipped with such advanced weapons. And what's even more paradoxical is that the heroes they worship in their minds are Suning and themselves, because the two of them are one of the few people who can use gunpowder and other things on the battlefield to the extreme, thinking that Suning dared to fight against Xianbei's 20,000 troops with only 600 people, and what they relied on was nothing more than the violent release of this chemical energy. As for Zhao Yun's outstanding performance in the defense of Hanyang County, it was also due to the same reason.
But what they used and the flintlock pistols they had now were two completely different things.
The main reason why flintlock pistols have not been included in the army over the years is because of their safety and reliability.
But for now, the problem has been properly resolved, but it also means that he is far more reliable on the battlefield than the things that have once wielded great power, and what is even more fascinating is that it can kill and injure enemy troops from a distance like a bow and arrow, without having to draw them around him and then attack at the risk of their own destruction, which is nothing less than enough for soldiers to celebrate for three days and three nights.
In fact, in this army, the equipment is far more than just a rifle, the mood of the explosives bag and the counterweight trebuchet have also been sent to the front line of the battlefield, if you encounter something like a bunker, I am afraid that Zhao Yun will not need to exchange too many casualties for victory.
In fact, Suning originally planned to show the power of the cannon in front of the White Polish Army, but unfortunately, the current cannon cannot directly fire shells, they can only stuff iron balls in it as physical killing shells, as for the application of chemical shells, they do not dare to take risks easily.
But even so, the defensive system of the White Polish Army quickly collapsed after a few simple engagements.
Victory was because of the arrival of this army, and it entered Zhao Yun's field of vision in an instant.
