Chapter 376: Dirt Hand Grenade
The idea of switching weapons according to the different enemies is in line with Sun Tzu's idea of changing the tactics of different enemies in the Art of War. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: "Therefore, the method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and to divide it if it is doubled, the enemy can fight it, if it is less, it can escape, and if it is not, it will be avoided." Youyun: "Therefore, the soldiers are impermanent, and the water is impermanent; Those who can win due to the change of the enemy are called gods", "those who attack and must take, attack what they do not defend; Those who defend and must be solid, defend what they do not attack. ā
Sun Tzu's Art of War is full of dialectical thoughts, which coincide with Lu Chengqi's vision. Of course, in order to achieve such an effect, it is also necessary for the commander to judge for himself according to the battlefield situation. There is a way to be a soldier and a bear, and a nest of bears. If a general has a nest, no matter how good the weapon is, he will be able to defeat the battle.
Shen Kuo, Su Song, and Tang Xun could understand Lu Chengqi's words, all because the scholars at that time were not dedicated to reading only the books of sages, and they could still read military books in their spare time. If the men of later generations have a martial arts dream in their hearts, then the readers of this era have a general dream in their hearts! imagined that he was like Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, with heroic hair, a lupine scarf, and the enemy was wiped out while talking and laughing......
It's a pity that it is impossible for Lu Chengqi to let the literati lead the troops. He firmly believed that there was a specialization in the art industry, and no matter how much the literati read military books, they were just talking on paper. Does he know how to arrange logistics and how to arrange troops? They know how to send scouts to listen to the enemy's situation, how to set up camp, and how to use middle and low-level officers to connect the whole army...... These are very practical problems, and Lu Chengqi always believes that either you are a military general, or you are a civil official. Military and political affairs must be separated, military generals have no strategies to learn, but civilian officials must not meddle in the army! This is Lu Chengqi's bottom line, and it is also the main reason for the establishment of the Royal Military Academy. First, as the principal of the Royal Military Academy, the officers who came out of the Royal Military Academy were basically loyal to him. For this example, you can refer to the bald Chairman Jiang. Second, through the wide entry and strict exit of the Royal Military Academy, the training of qualified middle and low-level officers paves the way for them to be promoted to senior military generals, in addition to reserving talents, it is also buying people's hearts. Anyway, the purpose of the establishment of the Royal Military Academy is to make the generals completely loyal to the royal family. Only by holding the military power in his hands can Lu Chengqi feel a sense of security in this era that does not know the historical process.
This is also the reason why Lu Chengqi is so concerned about the development of the ordnance superintendent, and Lu Chengqi must be cautious about all matters related to the army. Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked. This is not a reckless use of force, but a heavy war, a cautious war, and a preparation for war, so as to ensure that "the way of the whole army of the country". This is the idea that runs through "The Art of War", and it is also the bottom line that Lu Chengqi adheres to in his heart. Whoever touches his military power will die!
When Lu Chengqi was wandering outside the world, Tang Xun took the lead in expressing his position: "Your Majesty's words are good!" The minister still has an idea, if the poisonous smoke is placed in the flowering bomb, when the city is attacked, it will be more powerful, wouldn't it be even more powerful? Chen once saw a recipe for poisonous smoke, with sulfur fifteen taels, grass aconitum five taels, boiling nitrate one pound fourteen taels, croton five taels, wolf poison five taels, tung oil two halves, small oil two halves, charcoal five taels, asphalt two halves, arsenic two taels, yellow wax one tael, bamboo ru one tael, Ma ru one tael, pounded into the rope through the length of the zhang two, weighing half a catty, but also to the paper twelve halves, hemp skin ten taels, asphalt two halves, yellow wax two halves, Huang Dan one tael one or two points, charcoal powder half a catty Fu noodles, poisonous nose and mouth blood out, and death. ā
Originally, Lu Chengqi was still wandering in the world, thinking about whether to stop by the Royal Military Academy. But after listening to Tang Xun's words in a hazy way, he was frightened, and said in his heart: "I'm obedient, I didn't see that this serious Tang Xun would be so ruthless!" This is to escalate to the rhythm of poison gas warfare, completely ignoring the life and death of others, is his character stimulated by something? ā
Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi said cautiously: "Tang Qing's method is not bad, but is it a little inhumane?" ā
Tang Xun was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "What is humanity?" ā
Lu Chengqi explained: "If there are still civilians in the city, and my army is a benevolent and righteous army, wouldn't such a siege of the city arouse the heart of the whole city to resist? Sun Tzu's art of war is cloudy, the first army is to attack and strategize, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the next is to attack the city. Attacking the city is the next step, and attacking the heart is the best. If this poisonous smoke is used on enemy soldiers, I have no opinion. Just to use it on civilians is to lose the way of benevolence. ā
Tang Xun heard Lu Chengqi's half-literate explanation, and mistakenly understood "humanity" as the "benevolent way" of Old Master Confucius, and immediately sighed: "Your Majesty is indeed the king of benevolence and righteousness!" The minister did not think it carefully, and asked His Majesty to punish him. ā
Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Tang Qing is also dedicated to the country, what is the crime?" However, Tang Qing inspired me, and I still have a firearm, which is not inferior to the flowering bullet! ā
After that, Lu Chengqi said the concept of grenades, and the three people present all sighed: "Your Majesty is really wonderful, and the minister can't wait!" ā
Lu Chengqi scolded with a smile: "Okay, let's don't shoot my ass, and say can you make it?" ā
Su Song said: "The principle of this grenade is similar to that of the flowering bullet, if the flowering bullet is fine, this grenade must be no problem." ā
"It's fine, but I'd like to remind you that this is a weapon for individual combat, and weight control is important. Don't focus on power at the expense of weight. Whether this grenade can be thrown by hand is the key, as long as the power is acceptable. Lu Chengqi was afraid that they would repeat the mistakes of the past, like the Hongyi cannon, blindly pursuing the range of power, while ignoring the most important reloading speed of the artillery.
The three of them nodded and said in unison, "Minister's decree!" ā
Lu Chengqi saw that there was nothing wrong here, so he said, "Okay, it's not a matter for me to stay here for too long. The three of you work together to develop this cannon, flowering shell and grenade as soon as possible, so that Dashun will be invincible in the Shunliao War. Also, you all know the rules of the Weapons Supervisor, and all the weapons, including the Hongxiang-style rifle, are the top secret of Dashun. If it leaks out, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! ā
The three of them said in a row: "The minister doesn't dare!" ā
The combination of grace and power is the way to be a king. Lu Chengqi admonished them and walked out of the test range. led a group of imperial guards and two personal little eunuchs out of the ordnance prison. The inspector standing guard at the gate checked the token before he was released.
At this time, a personal little eunuch asked, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace at this moment?" ā
Lu Chengqi said: "No, go to the Royal Military Academy." By the way, what you have seen and heard in the Armory Prison today has rotted in my stomach. If I dare to confide half a word, I will be copied all over the house! ā
This sentence was said gloomily, so frightened that more than ten people behind him said again and again: "The little one doesn't dare." ā
Lu Chengqi said with a pleasant face: "The weapons supervisor is the highest weapon achievement of Dashun, if it is known to Liao, Goryeo, Japan, etc., it will be a disaster for my Dashun." This is also for the sake of the general good, you just need to keep this in mind, and the psychological burden does not need to be too heavy. (To be continued.) )
