"The power of the red-coated cannon is indeed not small, its range can reach a mile and a half away, and its shells can reach such a large size. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Li Yuanqing said, looked at the little kid behind Wu Xiang, smiled and gestured with his hand.

The little kid was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, his eyes flashed with excitement, if the cannonball was so big, what would be the effect if it smashed into the pile of Tartars?

Li Yuanqing said again: "The Houjin Tartar is extremely vicious, but most of the battles I have against it in the Ming Dynasty have a geographical advantage. The danger of the Tartars lies in their might. The art of war is cloudy, one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion. The most important role of the red-coated cannon is to crush the Tartars when they are in power, so that they are scared and even have nightmares. This way, our army will have more space and preparation to thwart the Tartars' spirit until the final victory. ”

Li Yuanqing also ignored the people around him, and explained almost word by word to the little boy.

The little kid seemed to have forgotten about his surroundings, and respectfully saluted Li Yuanqing deeply, "General Li Xie is puzzled. Listening to General Li's words, Chang Bosheng read the book of soldiers for ten years. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's not so serious." The art of war is also derived from practice. Don't read military books to the end, but integrate them with reality and integrate them with reality, so that your horizons will be broader. ”

"Yes. The eldest uncle got it. The little kid bowed deeply to Li Yuanqing again, respectful and reverent.

Everyone around also understood at this time, Li Yuanqing admired this little kid very much, although the occasion was wrong, but Sun Chengzong also liked this little kid, this time, this is not a problem.

Wu Xiang was also a little surprised.

His sister-in-law, who has been extraordinary since he was a child, has been extremely intelligent, and has always been his pride and the pride of their Wu family.

On weekdays, Wu Xiang will inevitably dot on him a little, and many things will take him with him, and his son is also very competitive, and when he is almost disappointed, Sun Chengzong is also very fond of him.

Therefore, on this occasion today, Wu Xiang also took him with him, hoping that he could increase his knowledge.

Originally, today was a very rude move by Wu Sangui, but Wu Xiang didn't expect that Li Yuanqing not only didn't mind, but took the initiative to solve his son's doubts and teach him gently, which ......

Although Wu Xiang is slippery and has a deep mind, he has no reservations about his son, at this time, Li Yuanqing can be like this, he looked at Li Yuanqing's gaze, and he was also a lot kinder.

Next to him, Zu Dashou was also thoughtful, Li Yuanqing was indeed a little unusual.

Sun Chengzong also nodded with a smile, "Yuanqing, that's a good point." Uncle, do you understand? ”

Wu Sangui hurriedly said respectfully: "Pavilion Elder, the eldest uncle understands a little, but there are still some things that he doesn't understand too much. General Li, I, can I ask you for advice alone when you have time? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Yes." However, if I can stay here for a few days, you will have to ask the elder Ge. ”

Sun Chengzong laughed, "Uncle, don't you thank General Li soon." ”

Although Wu Sangui was young, he was extremely intelligent, and he instantly understood, and hurriedly saluted Li Yuanqing respectfully, "Thank you, General Li." ”

The atmosphere that was originally a little tense was suddenly a lot easier because of the sudden insertion of the little boy Wu Sangui.

On the side, Sun Yuanhua also cast an admiring look at Li Yuanqing, and this situation of 'throwing bricks and attracting jade' was quietly resolved by Li Yuanqing by this means.

On the other side, Yuan Chonghuan also frowned, carefully thinking about what Li Yuanqing had just said.

Unlike these generals in the North, Yuan Chonghuan was a native of Dongguan, very close to Macao, and he knew more about Xiyi than most of the people here.

He also knew the so-called red-clothed cannon, in fact, fortified cities and cannons had always been his train of thought in Liaodi.

It's just that before, he just had this idea, and it wasn't very tidy, but Li Yuanqing's appearance made him put his thoughts together.

Although he didn't look down on Li Yuanqing, who was born in the Dongjiang River, at this time, with Li Yuanqing's theory, he also began to look at Li Yuanqing with some admiration.

After a moment, he smiled and said to Li Yuanqing: "General Li, if you say what you say, then do you think how many red-clothed cannons are suitable for a city?" ”

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Lord Yuan, this matter should vary from place to place and from person to person. Many, there are many uses, and less, there are also fewer uses. Specifically, it is still necessary to make a judgment according to the specific situation. ”

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but smile, "Then how to adapt measures to local conditions?" ”

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Lord Yuan is a southerner, and he must also know some red-clothed cannons. This cannon, very heavy and very inconvenient to move. If the financial resources are sufficient, it is natural to set up red-coated cannons on all four gates of the city to defend on all sides. However, if the financial resources are insufficient, there can only be a red-coated cannon on one side, but it is not impossible to defend. The Tartars are very cunning, and if this happens, they have to think of something. ”

Yuan Chonghuan faintly seemed to have caught something, and couldn't help laughing: "I would like to listen to General Li's explanation." ”

Li Yuanqing was also not polite, and explained with a smile: "Although the lowly position has no experience in controlling the red-clothed cannon, in the Battle of Lushun, he has experience in controlling the catapult. If there is a cannon on only one side, you need to pay attention to the mobility of the cannon. The idea of humility can be set up with some small cars. It is somewhat similar to a horse-drawn carriage, but the wheels are smaller, and the cannons are placed on small carts, driven by livestock and strong men, and if the Tartar goes to the north gate, the cannon can be quickly transferred to the north gate, and to the south gate, it can be quickly driven to the south gate. In this way, even if the Tartars change, our army will still have enough to deal with. ”

This kind of thing, although it seems to be just a simple truth in later generations, is like being covered with a layer of paper in this era, and it is difficult for anyone to remember it if no one pierces it.

Yuan Chonghuan had no actual combat experience, and even in Ningyuan's great victory, it was a completely stupid method, that is, relying on the fortification of the city and many artillery, and winning by stubbornly defending, and the mobility was almost zero.

In fact, most of the Tartar heads that Ning Yuan won in his great victory were cut down by the Mangui Department, but in the end, most of them were evenly given to the Guan Ning generals who had nothing to do.

At this time, Li Yuanqing put forward this idea, and also hoped that Yuan Inspector could take fewer detours, even if he couldn't change anything, at least when he was in Ningyuan, the Ming army could add some mobility, and it could be regarded as helping Man Gui pull some more space.

"Mobility? Maneuverability? Yuan Chonghuan kept reading these words, patting his head.

Sun Chengzong, Fang Zhenru, Sun Yuanhua, these civil officials are also contemplative.

As for the military attaches such as Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and Jin Guan, they also seemed to have thought of something, and the atmosphere on the table fell silent for a while.

Li Yuanqing didn't say much, he always had a faint smile on his face, this way of thinking after hundreds of years, even now, they have to have an acceptance process.

Since we can't change the general trend, it is better to follow the trend and tilt the situation to the favorable side as much as possible.

After all, Guan Ning is also a Ming army.

If they can involve a part of the Houjin troops, it will also be beneficial to the various departments of the Dongjiang River.

It's not just a useless, costly turtle shell, as it has been in history.

The little kid Wu Sangui was also frowning, Li Yuanqing brought him too many things today, Rao is he is extremely smart, but after all, he is still a child, and he has no actual combat experience to rely on, at this time, he can only rely on death.

After a long time, Inspector Yuan was the first to react, "General Li, this official understands a little. Your so-called mobility is to always aim the spearhead at the Tartars, like a formation of soldiers. ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Yuan is wise, this is exactly the truth. ”

Sun Chengzong couldn't help laughing, "Not bad." With Yuan Qing here, there will be a greater development of our ideas. In the subsequent construction of the city, there will be a lot of detours. Come, Yuanqing, have a drink with the old man. ”

…………

After a few laps around the main table, and two glasses of wine with Zhao Shujiao, Li Yuanqing was able to get out and return to Mangui.

Man Gui looked at the main table for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Yuanqing, are you okay?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's okay." Brother Gui, it's not fun here, it's almost here, let's find a restaurant and have a drink. I'm in for a treat. ”

Man Gui smiled, "I have the same intention." But you come here, I'm the head of the land, and I should be invited. ”

Li Yuanqing knew that Man Gui's state at this time was definitely not very rich in hand, and he didn't talk much, so he glanced at Man Gui and took the lead in sneaking outside.

Man Gui followed.

found a restaurant near the official hall, and the two of them completely let go, the real knife ~ the 'hand-to-hand combat' of the gun.

It's a pity that in terms of the amount of alcohol, Man Gui is far from being Li Yuanqing's opponent, and he has half a jar of wine, he has already fallen under the table, and no one is rushing to settle the bill with Li Yuanqing.

Let Xiao Er help Man Gui to the back room to rest, Li Yuanqing will not go back to the official hall, and ask for a room next door to Man Gui, and rest here tonight.

Next door, Man Gui's snoring sounded loudly, and Li Yuanqing couldn't sleep well, so he simply came out to wash his face, look at the moonlight, and think about his thoughts.

The appearance of the little kid Wu Sangui made things very smooth tonight.

Sun Chengzong got what he wanted, and Li Yuanqing did not offend Guan Ning Jiangmen, to a certain extent, he also eased the relationship with Yuan Inspector, and became familiar with Guan Ning Jiangmen.

At this time, Guanning and Dongjiang are basically still on the same starting line.

Of course, Guanning has the big tree of Sun Chengzong, and it has the geographical advantage, and it is much stronger than the Dongjiang River in terms of help.

But after all, Guanning is only one place, with a limited area and a limited structure, while the Dongjiang River integrates almost all the veins of the entire Liaodi non-Guanning system, and is freer and more open than Guanning, and everything is promising.

Sun Chengzong asked for face and lining, Li Yuanqing gave it all, and then, it depends on what he can give Li Yuanqing.

…………

The next day, Sun Chengzong summoned Li Yuanqing early in the morning.

"Huh. Yuanqing, yes, you are very good. The old man looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile, as if he was a few years younger all of a sudden.

Li Yuanqing knew that this was the time to reward meritorious deeds, and he stood aside respectfully and didn't say much.

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Yuanqing, do you want to come to Guanning's side, I know, you have made great contributions in Lushun, or you are still a guerrilla, you are indeed wronged." ”

Li Yuanqing secretly scolded Sun Chengzong's old fox, and said busily: "I don't dare to be loved by the elder of the pavilion." Mao Shuai is as kind as a mountain to his humble duties, and he is an old man, and he ...... this side of his humble duties."

Sun Chengzong understood that Li Yuanqing had refused, and was a little disappointed, but he laughed again, the Dongjiang River is also his jurisdiction, and Li Yuanqing is still his subordinate, but he is not directly subordinate, "Yuanqing, you have done the old man a great favor." The old man is not an unreasonable person, can you tell me? What do you think? ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said with a smile: "Ge Lao." Humble, humble, nothing. The humble post is only begging, the elder can remember the humble position, and in other days, if the humble post is difficult, or there is any taboo, the elder can pull the humble position. ”
