Chapter 250: What Are We Fighting For......

In fact, the biggest drawback that can be found in the presidential leadership of the Imperial Firearms Army during each military exercise is the lack of firepower for one-time output.

Of course, against the previous Tatar cavalry, he was very confident in taking the initiative to attack...... But the damned Tatar bandits are still up to date, and they're armed with pistols and artillery!

It is believed that soon, they will also be equipped with ironclad four-wheeled chariots...... What should we do then?

The president often deduces on the sand table and finds that if the opponent is equipped with the same weapons and equipment, the battle between the two sides will be very tragic...... And if the opponent's light cavalry defeats his own light cavalry...... His infantry will suffer heavy losses!

Of course, this refers to if in the event of a war between the two sides in the field.

If he relied on the newly built city wall of Xinbianjing City, the president Lingfa would have this confidence, as long as he commanded the whole process on the spot, even if he came ten times as many siege troops as himself, he would have the confidence to defend!

His artillery will deal a fatal blow to any besieger!

At present, many civil officials and military generals are ashamed of the ease with which Jin Guoneng broke through Bianjing...... Think about it, the Jin army, which was not good at water warfare, could easily cross the Yellow River; They are not good at attacking, and then they can easily conquer the city!

It's a pity for the two emperors, and it's a pity for the concubines who were hurt...... Even more lamentable for those who have been displaced.

It's not that the knife is not fast, it's not that people are not good at fighting, it's not that the walls of Bianjing City are not high, and the water of the Yellow River is not deep!

But the people of that time didn't know why they were fighting!

In fact, this controversy was sparked by the previous "Liuqiu Times...... And it is also edited by Yang Youxing.

What are we fighting for?

It's to fight so not to be a slave!

Any evasion only saves the fate of being a slave!!

What kind of life did the Han Chinese who surrendered to the Tatar robbers live?

They do not have the right to move freely...... There is no power to change careers...... There was no imperial examination at all, important officials were all Tatars, and bloodline was more important than ability...... The Han people who surrendered were the lowest class, and even if they were innocently killed, they only needed to pay a donkey!

Only ten households could have a kitchen knife, and the first night of the newlywed was enjoyed by the Tatar nobles...... It is rumored that the Han people in the north have the custom of killing their firstborn child.

Accidentally killed a Tatar and wanted to slaughter innocent people within a radius of ten miles.

Scary......

Those who study are deliberately ranked in the ninth class of occupations.

What they learn is useless.

At that time, the Wandering Times was full of stories about the Tatar robbers, all of whom were sabotage and massacre...... There is not the slightest construction and contribution to humanity!

What did the Ryuqiu army fight?

There is no personal vendetta, but a public vendetta...... This is not a question of nationality or race, but of hatred between two different views!

The two are natural mortal enemies.

That is why the Liuqiu army at that time had to fight the Tatar bandits even across the ocean...... Backwardness does not necessarily mean that you will be beaten, and you will definitely be beaten if you do evil!

In fact, the information reported by the "Liuqiu Times" at that time really scared the people of the Great Song Dynasty...... They couldn't believe that the Tatar bandits could have slaughtered so many people!

At first, I only heard about it, and then I understood that if you surrendered to the Tatar bandits, you would live like that, and no one could escape...... Unless you are a Tatar robber yourself.

At the beginning, if the two emperors who were captured knew that they would be like that...... Will they still surrender?

Every Great Song Dynasty person knows that they lived a life worse than death in the extremely cold land at that time.

In fact, at that time, the "Liuqiu Times" just wanted to explain why it suddenly sent troops to Shandong...... However, the question of "why are we fighting" on it also alerted too many literati and generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

If the Tatar robbers really defeated...... Everyone's life is terrible!

There are people in the Great Song Dynasty who fled from the north to the south, and you can understand it by asking any person.

It is also rumored that the great leader Kublai Khan laughed when he saw the newspaper denouncing his massacre.

It was also said that if you surrender so many people at once, how can you feed them if you don't kill them...... How can not killing them deter others...... The numbers in the newspaper were not correct, and the number of people killed by my army was far more than that, and there was no grass in the places where we passed through that year, and the "Liuqiu Times" only counted the people in the city...... Anyone who has the slightest intention of resisting will die.

Well, such statements really scared a group of people...... However, after the Liuqiu army defeated them one after another in Shandong, many people really understood what they were fighting for!

For example, President Lingfa Ke is a military general from a civilian background.

At that time, whenever the "Liuqiu Times" published the atrocities committed by the Tatar robbers, he ordered people to read them to everyone in the firearms camp in front of the Imperial Palace, and then let the officers and soldiers think for themselves without making a little evaluation.

As mentioned earlier...... The salaries and other benefits of the officers and men of the Imperial Firearms Battalion were the highest among other officers and soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, and it was difficult to enlist, so in every aspect, they were better than ordinary officers and soldiers.

They often heard about the atrocities of the Tatar robbers, and then learned about the Han people in the north...... There was no need to agitate, those people understood what they were fighting for.

If you surrender to the Tatars, you may not die, but what kind of life will the people in your family live!

Therefore, the president's self-confidence in defending the city is not blind...... Even he thought of saving his own life, but let his wife and son live like that...... He might as well have died sooner!

Of course, he was still very sober, and it was not enough to know why he was fighting, the iron hooves of the Tatar bandits could not withstand it.

Although now there is no shortage of Great Song War Horses...... But his hussars were still weak, and they were decent when they drilled, but certainly not comparable to the Tatar cavalry on horseback.

He still urgently needed the weapons of the Federal Empire, which was later formed...... It must surpass what the Tatar robbers have in their hands.

At the beginning, he was quite suspicious of Jia Pingzhang's implementation of Li Daitao's plan to cross the river and break the bridge, and skillfully pushed the Liuqiu army to the forefront...... But now it seems that for Da Song, this is the best choice!

Don't underestimate the stability of these years...... At least, he had time to completely build the Imperial Firearms Army, which completely replaced the Imperial Forest Army of the Great Song Dynasty!

His official position is still very small...... However, the strength of the Imperial Firearms Army he built was astonishing.

He later figured out that Jia Pingzhang asked him to ask his son Fashan to enter the palace to accompany the family of the Song Dynasty Xiaoguan was a hostage in disguise, no wonder he was showing his skills now, and he was not suspected by a civil official.

He was very clear about the relationship between civil officials and military generals in the Great Song Dynasty.

This is the best, he can devote himself to building the Imperial Firearms Army.

He once again personally visited Jia Pingzhang and put forward his request.

Jia Pingzhang met him in the study, and after listening to his report, he said in surprise: "My Great Song Dynasty Imperial Firearms Army is so powerful, but it still can't win in the field?!" ”

President Lingfa has voiced his concerns.

Jia Pingzhang said: "Last time, didn't they sell us a batch of weapons? ”

"That's just five hundred revolvers, just ready to be distributed to ......the officers," said the president.
