The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer

"Inspector, can you tell the emperor about the grain and grass?

After all, borrowing grain from the gentry of the three provinces is not a long-term solution. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yang Tinglin complained that Yang Sichang was domineering and wanted to take this opportunity to fall into the ground.

Lu Xiangsheng's face was solemn, he glanced at Yang Tinglin, and sighed slightly in his heart, Yang Boxiang was afraid that he was on the same page as Yang Sichang.

"Boxiang, Yang Benbing can still control the major rights and wrongs to some extent, but this person has an arrogant personality and too much selfishness, you have to be careful.

It is estimated that he can only delay the matter of grain and grass for a while, and he resolutely does not dare to delay it endlessly. Otherwise, the army mutinied, and he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Alas, the war is coming, the mountain rain is coming, more things are better than less, let's talk about it after this battle! ”

Yang Sichang's holy family is thick, it is definitely not Yang Tinglin who can deal with it now, I hope he can do it himself.

As a friend, that's all I can say.

Yang Tinglin sighed, knowing that Inspector Lu was secretly persuading himself.

Cease! Cease! Cease! And put state affairs first, to see how long this traitor can be arrogant.

Yang Guozhu then asked in a low voice, "Do you want to send someone to ask for reinforcements from Gao Qiqian?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian have secretly discussed, and it is estimated that they have already made their calculations, but they don't know it yet.

At this moment, if you send someone to ask for help, it is only a humiliation. But you still arrange a random person and see what they say. ”

"No." Yang Guozhu replied.

"Asking for people is like swallowing a three-foot sword, and relying on people is like going up to the Nine Heavens.

At the beginning of the Tianxiong Army, there were many difficulties, but they did not taste defeat.

Traitors or Tartars, Ben wants to see who can defeat our Celestial Army?

The more difficult it was, Lu Xiangsheng was proud in his chest, and said loudly to the three of them.

"No!"

Influenced by Lu Xiangsheng, the three of them also responded violently, and their morale was like a tide.

As the sun sets, the tired birds return to the forest.

"Touching ......"

A few gunshots broke the silence of the evening and startled the weary birds returning to the forest.

Qin Haoming shook his head and handed the arquebus in his hand to the soldiers beside him.

At this time, Qin Haoming didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng asked for credit for him, and he was taking the opportunity to learn about Daming firearms.

The Tianxiong Army is the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, and all firearms are available here.

"Accuracy is so low that for an arquebusier to hit a human-sized target at a distance of about fifty meters, it's mostly a matter of luck rather than accuracy.

A hundred meters away, anyone who was hit by an arquebus projectile could only be said to be unlucky, and not a victim with accurate aiming. ”

Qin Haoming can be said to be an expert in playing with guns, and after only a few shots, he understands the drawbacks.

Not only is the accuracy poor and the effective firing range is short, but the arquebus also has the disadvantages of complicated operation, slow rate of fire, a soldier can only fire two shots in three minutes, and cannot be used in rainy days.

"The bird pipes used by our Tianxiong Army are all made of fine iron, and this kind of fine iron can only be smelted with ten catties of crude iron, and only the pipes made of such fine iron can be strong and durable, and will not explode when shooting.

When making, it is usually rolled into two iron pipes, one large and one small, with large and small ones, so that the two are tightly attached, and then drilled into a smooth and straight pipe with a steel drill.

The drilling process is very precise, and each person in the craftsman bureau can only drill about one inch per day, and it takes about a month to drill one.

Therefore, many soldiers of the Tianxiong Army could not be fully equipped with arquebuses, and they did not dare to use them unless they were produced by us. ”

The guerrilla Zhang Songrong was a little proud and a little helpless at the same time, and many things were not for them to decide.

Qin Haoming sneered, don't say it, he also knows that this is Daming's disadvantage, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation.

With the leadership of the guerrilla Zhang Songrong, after inspecting the firearms of the Tianxiong Army on the spot, Qin Haoming found that it was unrealistic to borrow the firearms of the Ming Army to fight against the Manchu Tartars.

This is manifested in two main ways: first, the system of making firearms has rotted.

Da Ming set up two bureaus of military battles and weapons, and divided firearms. There are more than a dozen large and small cannons, not to mention guns.

What is the god gun, the horse chopping gun, a nest of sharp god machine arrows, large, medium and small Franc machine copper guns, wooden box copper guns, invincible hand guns, bird's beak guns, seven-eyed copper guns, thousands of miles guns...... Almost up to dozens.

However, with the intensification of the financial crisis in the middle and late Wanli period, the military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty also shrank again and again all year round, the output of firearms was greatly reduced, and the quality was also confused.

Qin Haoming found that many of the guns sent from above could not be used at all, the rate of fire was slow, and it was okay to say that they were jammed.

The key is that the barrel is not up to par, and the probability of exploding the bore is very high, which is also the main reason why the Tianxiong Army resists its use.

According to Guerrilla Zhang, because the firearms issued by the Ordnance Bureau were all shoddy, some troops first sold the firearms issued by the imperial court, and then exchanged money to hire craftsmen to make them for themselves.

The second is the weapon itself and the user.

It does not mean that the army's firearms are not all equipped with arquebuses, and a large number of soldiers are still using bulky and primitive three-eyed guns, magic guns, fast guns and even Yongle handguns.

In the case of the arquebus alone, its weakness is obvious.

The Ming shotgun has a range of about 100 meters, which is enough to penetrate the iron shield and iron armor at a distance of tens of meters, but the power is significantly weakened beyond 100 meters, and it is even inferior to the composite bows of the Mongols and the Manchus.

In addition, the musket had many shortcomings, and it was completely unable to resist the cavalry charge.

On the battlefield, musketeers were mixed with spearmen, covering each other in long-range and melee combat, but as the number of spearmen became smaller, the disadvantage became more pronounced.

The soldiers of the Manchu Tartars were skilled in bows and horses, and their iron horses were better in terms of bow and arrow use, impact and armor.

The Ming army could not hit all of them in a musket salvo, and the hits were often not fatal, but in exchange for several waves of dense arrows from the Eight Banners.

Therefore, it shows that the army's immature musket has no advantage over the Manchu cavalry, and the Eight Banners soldiers have been proficient in bow and horse riding since childhood, and their combat quality is significantly higher than that of the Ming soldiers.

This is one of the reasons why the Ming had many firearms, but they were repeatedly defeated against the Tartars.

Qin Haoming felt that it was better for him to tear down and rebuild than this, and he also wanted to improve the firearms.

In his opinion, with the current level and craftsmanship of the Ming craftsmen, there is no difficulty in manufacturing flintlock pistols, and the key is the system.

But this is all in the future, and what we have to do now is to get through this hurdle, otherwise everything will be empty.

This time, the Tartars' 80,000 army, except for the annihilation of one of their Jiala'e Zhen formations in Jize Xiaoluzhuang, the strength of the Tartars was not greatly damaged.

Because the two sides basically did not fight, the Ming army was defending, and the Tartars were able to attack, and if they could not attack, they would be spared, and they were walking in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, entering and exiting at will, which was extremely comfortable.
