Xu Wei is a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush, and his early experience made Xu Wei particularly disgusted with people who talk around the bush and play with mystery, for fear that their secrets will be known by others, so what you want to say, just say it to him directly, sincerity is the beautiful quality he needs and desires, and it just so happens that Zheng Guang at this moment satisfies Xu Wei.

Zheng Guang probably also knows the famous saying - give me a fulcrum, I can pry up the earth, Zheng Guang said, Xu Wei is the first fulcrum I found.

What kind of character is Xu Wei who has the magic skills of the Ming Dynasty's double-mouthed cannon, Zheng Guang couldn't be clearer, in addition to those famous generals and traitors during the Jiajing period, Zheng Guang is also the most familiar with the name Xu Wei, this name represents talent, calligraphy and painting, is a literary and military all-rounder, is a unique strategy, Xu Wei spent his life full of ups and downs with extraordinary tenacity, and just let it shine, such ability and soul are really very rare.

Zheng Guang believes that Xu Wei has the ability to change the world, as long as someone can escort him, don't let the ups and downs of fate discount Xu Wei's talent.

Tang Shunzhi soon left Suzhou, they also have their own things to do, Tang Shunzhi is going to set off north to go to Beijing, he said that Jinyiwei wants him to do this, and said that the emperor may receive him, but this is not in a hurry, he went to prepare for the preparation, and when Zheng Guang went to the capital to participate in the examination and the palace examination, he would definitely celebrate Zheng Guang; As for Xu Wei, he left with Tang Shunzhi, and then quickly brought his guy to the Zheng Mansion, brazenly asked for a room, and began to live a worry-free life.

His reason is very sufficient, he has to review his knowledge and increase his knowledge with a talent like Zheng Guang, so that he can perform better in the examination, be admitted to a higher ranking, and help each other and support each other with Zheng Guang in the future.

But in private, Xu Wei still confided in his actual situation, after the examination, except for the gentle wife as always, everyone's attitude towards himself has changed, from the previous vitriol to the current flattery, which made him very unhappy, especially the old man and mother-in-law, who were rich before, and now they are very doggy and ask to build another house for themselves, and write off the identity of Xu Wei's son-in-law, and the children in the future will be no problem with the surname Xu Wei.

In the past, it was Xu Wei who shouted, but now he is a master when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, and he doesn't dare to breathe when he sees his atmosphere, so Xu Wei can't continue to live in that home, so he used the reason of studying for the exam to say goodbye to his beloved wife temporarily, moved to Zheng Mansion, and sought humanitarian political refuge from Zheng Guang.

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, you were just a poor talent who was unprofitable before, of course they will be bitter, but now you are a profitable person, of course they will flatter you, basically most people are like this, but, don't you have a wife? Spend more time with your wife and less contact with those people, and you won't feel so uncomfortable. Zheng Guang responded to Xu Wei's entanglement with a smile.

Xu Wei picked up a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, then slowly put down the teacup, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's too filthy, too stuffy, except for the room with my beloved wife, every place can make me uncomfortable, if I continue to stay there, I won't be able to study with peace of mind no matter what, so, Pingzhi, it's better for you to be here, quiet, really quiet, as long as you sit here, your heart will settle down."

Besides, one or two of you are saying that I am a perverse and irritable person, isn't it that I need such a calm place to change my personality? In this case, you, the big landlord, don't refuse my little customer, do your best to the friendship of the landlord, let me have a good rest, and when I change this obedient and irritable temperament, you will be more comfortable, right? ”

Zheng Guang shook his head and didn't say anything more, just looked at the north, and muttered: "It's coming soon, I don't have much time to relax." ”

Xu Wei was so shrewd, he naturally knew what Zheng Guang was talking about: "You mean that the person that the imperial court is going to send to replace the governor of Su Song is coming soon?" ”

Zheng Guang nodded and said: "I don't know if Your Majesty cares or not, but in any case, the merits of this battle are real, and the new Governor Su Song will receive me no matter what, and ask me about the strategy of pacifying the Japanese invaders, and at that time, no matter what kind of idea I have, I am duty-bound." ”

Xu Wei sat up straight and said: "Don't say anything else, I admire you in this battle, if you want to replace me, command such a group of soldiers, I can't help it, you can still survive in a desperate situation, gamble with your own life and Fan Zhifu's life, and win this battle, just this courage, I Xu Wenchang admire you, and also, you seem to be very familiar with firearms, and you are particularly willing to use firearms to fight, but, in my opinion, although firearms are powerful, they have not yet reached the point where they can control the battlefield, if you want to truly defeat the Japanese invaders, It is not necessary for an elite army to defeat the Japanese Invaders head-on. ”

Zheng Guang smiled, picked up the teacup and said: "I also understand what you said, but when it really comes to that time, you don't need a firearm, there is no other way, not to mention, firearms are really a wonderful weapon, how can you think that the gunpowder refined by the Fang family's Taoist alchemy medicine can one day become a killing weapon?" Zheng Guang paused, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Gunpowder can become a firebolt, become an artillery, become a divine rocket, and dominate the battlefield to a certain extent, so it may not completely replace swords, guns, swords and halberds in the future and become the main weapon on the battlefield." ”

Xu Wei was noncommittal about this, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Don't say anything else, now the Ming Navy Division is using artillery as the main weapon, without artillery, the Navy Division can be difficult to fight the enemy, I heard that those Japanese pirates and Francoji pirates on the sea have fierce artillery firepower, with a range of hundreds of steps, and a few shots can sink a huge ship, and hundreds of people will die in the sea, you can know how fierce the power of this artillery is."

But if on the battlefield of land warfare, there are still many restrictions on artillery, it is not easy for ships at sea to move left and right, it is relatively slow, and there is no way to retreat on the sea, once entangled in addition to a death battle is a death battle, and on land it is not, the range of artillery is not as good as a bed crossbow, and the range of muskets is not as good as a bow and crossbow, and whether it is in terms of rate of fire or ease of operation, whether it is the bow and crossbow is superior, and the firearms fall into the inferior, maybe there is really the day when the firearms you said replace the swords, guns and halberds to become the main weapons, but it is definitely not today, nor tomorrow, at least, We can't just rely on firearms to quell the Japanese invaders. ”

Zheng Guang nodded, and then said with a hint of anticipation: "Do you know the story of Taizu's Northern Expedition and Chengzu's Northern Expedition?" ”

Xu Wei nodded and asked, "Of course I know, what's wrong?" ”

Zheng Guang said: "Taizu Northern Expedition, the first to use dense firearms to shoot head-on to stop the Mongolian cavalry breakthrough example, Wei Duke Xu Da with a large number of firearms in the grassland successfully stopped the Mongolian iron cavalry breakthrough, thus creating favorable conditions for the Ming Iron Cavalry counterattack, Xiping Hou Muying in Yunnan with firearms three-stage shooting method, with intensive and uninterrupted fire to successfully defeat the elephant herd, although at that time firearms were much inferior to now, deterrence significance is greater than lethality, but today, there are firearms that can shoot hundreds of steps, a large number of enemy shells, The development of firearms is promising.

I plan to study firearms on my own from now on, and look for talented people to work with me, fix the research direction on bombs, individual guns and artillery, and make every effort to study these three types of firearms, and devote myself to strengthening the power, rate of fire, range, lethality and ease of operation of firearms.

And, Wen Chang, do you know that since ancient times, if you want to deal with cavalry, you have to train stronger cavalry, but the grassland herdsmen grow freely on horseback, bow horses are skillful, natural cavalry, and my Han descendants were born on farmland, farming is a good hand, but to become a cavalry, you need to go through strict and hard training, otherwise with the capital of hundreds of thousands of nearly a million war horses of the Han Dynasty, how can you only get 100,000 iron horses?

Although there is a saddle at this time to help the cavalry control the war horse, but if you want to train a peasant as a qualified cavalry, it is still difficult, plus the military equipment is lax, the military generals are sluggish, although the Ming Dynasty has cavalry, but it has nothing to show for it, and it is no longer as strong as when Taizu became an ancestor, according to my rough calculation, if there is a suitable firearm, the cost of equipping and training a musketeer is far less than the cost of training a cavalry.

Moreover, I always have a hunch that since ancient times, we have no suitable way to ride on foot, that is, we do not have suitable infantry weapons, and if the infantry has the right weapons and equipment, it may not be so difficult to fight against cavalry, although today's firearms are not strong enough, but if the number is sufficient, with the method of shooting in three, four, or even five stages, it may be possible to stop the cavalry. ”

Xu Wei imagined the scene of ten thousand soldiers firing firearms in his mind, and he also felt quite attractive, but in the end he shook his head and said: "Today's firearms are not only short in range, slow in rate of fire, and not powerful enough, they use lead bullets, if the distance is a little farther, it cannot penetrate the cavalry armor and infantry armor, even if it is penetrated, it cannot immediately take people's lives, it is not as good as a bow and crossbow, once it hits the human body, it can at least restrict its movement."

And the farthest range of the musket I know is only 300 paces, the distance of these 300 steps is too short, the cavalry almost instantaneously, directly collided, as long as the number of cavalry is a little larger, even if it is a five-stage shooting, before there is time to come to the last round, the musketeer formation was broken, and then the cavalry kills, and the musketeers have no power to fight back, it is better to hold spears and spears and knives, what do you think? ”

Zheng Guang thought about it again and again, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked the well-informed Xu Wei: "We often count the cavalry and the war horse as one and consider them together, but if the cavalry and the war horse are separated, and imagine separately, the war horse is still a horse, and the horse is a livestock, so it naturally has its irrepressible nature, and there are also things that cannot be suppressed. ”
