Chapter 246: Strategy and Tactics

Early the next morning, the observation post on the top of the mountain reported that the Manchurian army had set up camp and headed eastward, and the Qingshanzui General Headquarters ordered the de-preparation of the war and the personnel to rest on the spot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the second day, Wang Erniu, the governor of Changsheng Township, and Ha Laocai, who stayed in Shulinzi Township, arrived and held a meeting with Sun Yi, Yang Ritian, Tie Danzi, Jia Daoshi, Bu Shijiu, Yang Liulang, Batel, Li Guang, and Uncle Geng, the elder of Qingshanzui Township.

The meeting was chaired by Sun Yi.

Many old acquaintances seemed to have not seen each other for a long time, and asked each other affectionately and affectionately, in a joyful atmosphere.

Seeing that everyone's greetings were almost over, Sun Yi raised his hand one by one, and a small ball of paper in his hand fell to the ground.

"Smack!" , a crisp pop.

Sun Yi greeted everyone, "It's a meeting!" It's time for a meeting! ”

Everyone sat down in curiosity.

Sun Yi spoke: "First of all, I would like to introduce someone to everyone. The tenth grandson of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ping draws long. ”

Daoist Jia hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand to the others, "Thanks to everyone's care, Zhu Pingwa can live to this day." ”

Uncle Geng was so frightened that he wanted to kowtow when he crawled on the ground.

Daoist Jia picked up Uncle Geng, "Uncle Geng, you still don't know me?" How should we behave and how to behave, don't be raw. ”

Jia Daoshi turned to everyone: "Other people's royal identity is glory, but my royal identity is a burden, for this identity of my ancestors have been hiding in Tibet for generations, and I ask you to keep it secret for me." Now I take this opportunity to reveal my identity, which is to swear to assist Lide's son in rebuilding three generations. ”

Yang Ritian asked: "What are the three generations?" Lao Tzu, sons and grandsons? Isn't Jia Junshi going to help his grandfather give birth to a baby? ”

Sun Yi said straightly, "The three generations are a period of time in ancient times, when the people were rich and morally simple, simply put, rebuilding the three generations is to live a good life again." ”

Everyone turned their heads to each other: "That's good! All right! With the assistance of dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, it is impossible to say that they can really live a good life. ”

Sun Yi concluded: "Our Heavenly Constitution has given each of us basic rights. Zhu Junshi also put forward a higher goal for us, that is, to live a good life. ”

"What does a good day look like? We have been discussing for a long time before, but we have not been able to come up with a single criterion, and we can only say three in general terms: the people are rich, opponents like Manchukuo dare not provoke us, and everyone can live with dignity. To put it simply, it is rich, strong, and dignified. ”

"Today's situation is that the Ming Dynasty is rich, Manchuria is strong, and our iron country is a little dignified."

"As the saying goes, people are poor and short-minded, and people cannot be dignified if they are not rich; If the army is not strong, it cannot guarantee dignity, as soon as the Manchurian army came this time, we had to retreat several times. ”

"At the same time, we are developing towards the three goals of dignity, prosperity and strength, which is our long-term strategy."

"Tabu Bag, can you tell me what strategy is?" , Battle asked.

"Good question!" Sun Yi praised, "This is the topic of our meeting today." ”

"Everyone knows the art of war, but if you think about it, the art of war is actually divided into two layers. The lower level is how to win the specific battle, and the higher level is whether a battle should be fought or not, in which direction, and to what extent. ”

Sun Yi completely fell into the idea of layered design for programmers.

"The lower level of the art of war can be called tactics, such as how to arrange troops, how to ensure food and grass, such as how to most effectively use our new weapons."

Sun Yi raised his hand one by one, and another paper ball fell to the ground, making a crisp explosion.

"The art of war at a higher level can be called strategy. When the Manchurians faced a powerful enemy, they were not in a hurry to defeat the opponent at one time, but patiently slaughtered the opponent's people, burned the opponent's house, bled the opponent again and again, and weakened the opponent again and again. ”

"On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty never had its own strategy. The Ming Dynasty has always been a headache and a foot pain, and the order is changed every day, all depending on the emperor's mood. ”

"Tactics are like a person's ability to swim, strategy is to decide whether the person will go into the water or not, and which direction to swim in after getting into the water. Tactics must be subordinated to strategy, otherwise, the battle will be fought in vain, and there is no point in killing one's own soldiers. ”

"Come, just ask you to talk about it. In the next stage, will we still fight with Manchuria? To what extent do you hit? I don't think anyone would think that we would destroy Manchukuo in one battle, right? ”

Everyone chuckled.

"Before we get into that, let's introduce our new gadgets."

The staff officer stepped forward and handed out a few small paper balls in front of each of them.

Some curious people couldn't help but pinch the paper ball, and found that the small paper ball was heavy, as if it was filled with a ball of sand.

Even more Bartel followed Sun Yi's example, and threw the paper ball on the ground with a raised hand, making a "pop" sound.

Sun Yiyi: "This paper bag is mainly sand, mixed with a little explosives. You can imagine the effect of making a large paper bag and mixing it with iron sand, lead pellets, and crushed stones. ”

As soon as Sun Yi's voice fell, there was a "snap" in the command headquarters.

In the smell of gunsmoke, Ga Li Guang's face flushed with excitement, "Master, the crowded formation of Manchuria, if you can throw one in, they will not be completely finished!" With this thing, what are we afraid of, let's just catch up and fight! ”

Wang Erniu hurriedly objected: "The people and horses have caught up, what should we do with the grain and grass?" ”

Sun Yi smiled, "Li Guang, have you thought about it, this kind of paper ball can be blown up if it is thrown on the ground, will it be blown up on your side before it is thrown into the dense formation of Manchukuo?" ”

Sun Yi said that the main raw material of gunpowder is nitrate, and the main raw material of this explosive may be called nitrate. What kind of power does it have when it is combined with something is still being explored. Now the problem with explosives is not that they are not strong enough, but that they are too powerful, and we must find a way to reduce the sensitivity of explosives.

For example, the formula of the explosives in the paper bag in everyone's hand is to blow up nitrate and realgar, this kind of explosive will explode if it collides slightly.

Now two formulas have been preliminarily determined, one is fried nitrate with rosin, and the other is fried nitrate with grease, and the explosives of these two formulas are relatively mild. Even so, these two explosives are not a substitute for gunpowder, and they can easily blow up the three-eyed gun.

The production of nitrate is cheap, but the production process is extremely dangerous. In the production process, it cannot be mixed with plant ash and metal shavings, otherwise it is easy to explode, so it cannot be equipped with the army on a large scale for a while.

"But," Sun Yi said, "there are a few gadgets that can already be used." ”

Sun Yi took out a black string.

"This is made by adding fried nitrate, willow charcoal, and a small amount of magnesium oxide to the rope...... Well, magnesium oxide is something obtained by calcining the active ingredient of Rungudan. ”

Sun Yi lit one end of the black rope, and the rope "sparked" and burned quickly and steadily towards the other end.

"It's called a fuse, and it's much more reliable than the previous arquebus."

Sun Yi took a section of the fuse again and used a reed pipe to cover one end of the fuse.

Sun Yi said: "The things in this reed pipe are actually fried nitrate, realgar and sand, which is the same formula as the paper-wrapped explosives that everyone played just now, but the specific distribution is very particular. This reed pipe is now called a fire pipe. ”

Sun Yi pinched the reed pipe and pulled it hard, and the fuse was ignited.

"Everyone, please come outside!"

The crowd came to the Yellow River.

Sun Yi and the stuffy man had a short wooden stick in each of their hands.

A hole was drilled vertically in the center of the short stick, and in the hole was a fuse, which exposed two or three inches at each end of the stick.

The two of them carefully screwed one end of the stick into the mouth of a small clay pot, and one of them craned his neck to find that the small jar was filled with white greasy things.

The two of them put a fire pipe on the other end of the stick.

"It's called a bomb. Watch out, everyone! ”

The stuffy guy slammed down the fire pipe, and the fuse began to smoke.

With all his strength, the stuffy man threw the object in his hand into the open space.

But I saw that the wooden stick and clay jar drew an arc in the air and bounced on the land in the distance.

The wooden stick and clay pot fell back to the ground for less than a moment, and there was a "empty whine" sound, and a pit was blown out of the ground.

The crowd gasped and began to think.

Sun Yi smiled and ripped off the fire pipe and threw his own bomb.

The bomb was still in a beautiful arc, "pop", probably falling on a stone, and the crockpot was smashed to pieces.

"Poof", a puff of white smoke.

Sun Yi smiled awkwardly: "It seems that you have to change the iron can." ”

Wang Erniu heard an arrow and rushed forward, "Master, don't change the iron can." This tin can costs at least two taels of iron, and it will be gone with a bang, we don't have that much iron! ”
