Chapter 129: Gunpowder

~~~~~~~

Going to Liaoxi?

Li Yuanqing and the three of them were stunned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, the war in Guangning collapsed, Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi resigned, and the supreme commander of the army in western Liaoning should belong to the Shanhaiguan army.

However, Mao Wenlong is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Guangning Army, and according to convention, in terms of rank, it is higher than the gold content of the Shanhaiguan Army.

Although both sides are the army of Liaodi, but in fact, it is completely two systems, at this time, what do they want the three of them to do?

Zhao Liang also understood the doubts of the three of them, and hurriedly explained: "The three generals, it is the lords of Liaoxi who want to see you. ”

At this time, Li Yuanqing and the three of them also understood that this should be the civil officials in western Liaoning who wanted to see the three of them.

For the literati group in western Liaoning, Li Yuanqing did not have much contact, and the only one who helped Li Yuanqing, Gao Bangzuo, the prefect of Guangning at that time, was also loyal to the Ming Dynasty after the fall of Guangning, and Li Yuanqing had no contact with others.

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing hurriedly looked at Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan beside him.

Zhang Pan was also a little puzzled, looked at Li Yuanqing and said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, I, I have no contact with the adults in Liaoxi." ”

Chen Zhong also said: "Me too." What are they looking for us for? ”

Li Yuanqing already knew at this time that it must be the matter of the three of them facing the saint this time.

Perhaps, the resignation of Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen made these literati in Liaodi also feel a sense of crisis and wanted to win over the three of them.

At this time, although the main force of the old slave withdrew in Liaoxi, the actual control line of the Ming army in Liaoxi had been withdrawn to the south of Jinzhou, and civilian officials like Gao Bangzuo, who were willing to pay for the loss of land, were very few after all, and to some extent, this was indeed a little unreasonable.

"Three generals, you are waiting for the reply of the three generals, can you give us an accurate message?" Zhao Liang said on the opposite clipper.

Li Yuanqing looked at Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong.

Neither of them was stupid, and at this time they also figured out the joints.

Zhang Pan said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, should we go?" ”

Chen Zhong also looked at Li Yuanqing, at this time, he naturally centered on Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

These dog-day civil officials can't fight wars, and they are very superb in their mouths and tricks.

If you don't go, you will sin against them.

At this time, although Mao Wenlong's various ministries and the Liaoxi Group belonged to two systems, after all, Liaoxi was the core of Liaodi.

If Li Yuanqing and the three offend them at this time, they will definitely be stuck by them in many aspects of retribution and rewards in the future.

But if you go...... Mao Wenlong and Liaoxi are not very harmonious, especially his Bole Wang Huazhen has stepped down, which makes Mao Wenlong very unhappy.

Even if Mao Wenlong doesn't blame him, if the three of them are targeted by the big people in Liaoxi, this is not a good thing.

At the beginning, the reason why Li Yuanqing chose Mao Wenlong's chariot was because Mao Wenlong's side started a business and had enough freedom, but now, ......

This is really a big deal.

Li Yuanqing took a sip in his heart, and his mind was spinning rapidly, trying to find a way to get both.

It's a pity that this kind of thing is either black or white, how can it be both?

Zhang Pan was already a little loose at this time, and said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, otherwise, let's go to Liaoxi for a visit." It is not far to go directly from Shanhaiguan to Jingshi. ”

Although Chen Zhong didn't speak, his expression was roughly the same thing.

Li Yuanqing knew that even though both of them were heroes, they still had an instinctive fear of the ---- literati who dominated this era.

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing smiled and said to Zhao Liang opposite: "Since it is the adults who show love, then a few people who are humble should be respectful rather than obey their fate." ”

Zhao Liang was overjoyed, "I will rush back to my life now." The three generals, all the adults are now in Qiantun, and when you are done, you can go to Qiantun as soon as possible. ”

After Zhao Liang finished speaking, he turned around and commanded the fast oarboat to turn around, and hurriedly sailed to the west, and soon disappeared.

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "I can't imagine that even the adults in Liaoxi actually recognize me." Isn't that bad? ”

Zhang Pan noticed the strangeness of Li Yuanqing's expression, and said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, are you worried about something?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "The adults in Liaoxi give us face, and we can't ignore it." Let's go back to Hirokashima first. ”

…………

Back on Guanglu Island, the original bright mood of the three of them was slightly overshadowed by the affairs of the officials in western Liaoning.

Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan both went to work on the affairs of the headquarters, and Li Yuanqing also returned to his station.

Lotus Root served tea to Li Yuanqing, and Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu walked over with a smile.

Although Zhang Yunniang was young, she was very careful, so she came to Li Yuanqing and sat down, and said carefully: "Brother, what happened?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's okay." By the way, Minqiu, were you familiar with the big people here in Liaoxi before? ”

Qu Minqiu was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood the joints, "It's not too familiar." The most familiar one is the prefect of Guangning. Pity...... Yuanqing, is there something going on in Liaoxi? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's nothing." It's the officials of Liaoxi who want to see me. It looks warm outside, but it's still cold, so you guys should wear more clothes when you go out, don't freeze. I'll go to the camp and have a look. ”

Li Yuanqing was unwilling to bring these trivial matters of military affairs to his family, so he came directly to the camp.

At this time, there were less than 200 soldiers left in the old camp of Hiroshima to maintain order and protect safety.

The officer on duty in March was Wang Hai.

It is very difficult for any army to eradicate the so-called mountaineering.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing's army is full of fresh blood, this kind of thing is also difficult to avoid.

The old man has a circle of old people, and if the newcomer wants to integrate into the army, he has to try to join this circle.

These old people are the cornerstone of Li Yuanqing at this time, to a certain extent, Li Yuanqing also needs to give them a certain degree of privileges, in other words, people have inferior roots, Li Yuanqing must press this line to maintain absolute dominance over the army.

Although this is not a long-term solution, at this time, it is difficult for Li Yuanqing to have a good way to change this state, so he can only maintain it first, and then slowly change it when the foundation is stable in the future.

After all, nothing can happen overnight.

After all, Li Yuanqing is a general of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and he is under the command of Mao Wenlong, and many rules must be followed.

Li Yuanqing came directly to Wang Hai's station, Wang Hai had just finished training and was taking a cold shower with more than a dozen soldiers.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, Wang Hai was taken aback, hurriedly wiped his body, quickly put on his clothes, and saluted Li Yuanqing with a smile, "My lord, why are you here?" ”

"What? Don't want Lao Tzu to come over? Li Yuanqing smiled and gave Wang Hai a punch.

"Hey, hey. I don't dare to do it. It's just that I don't know that you are coming, and the shower is a little slower. Wang Hai said with a smile.

He is Li Yuanqing's cronies, he was promoted and reckless by Li Yuanqing, many things, and taught by word and deed, he is also a student of Li Yuanqing, so he naturally does not have much fear of Li Yuanqing, but is very close.

Li Yuanqing looked at the unfastened buttons on Wang Hai's chest, revealing his strong muscles, and couldn't help but smile, "Get out of there and sit down." ”

"Yes." Wang Hai hurriedly sat opposite him like a baby, straightened up, like a primary school student.

Seeing Wang Hai's originally immature little face, now he has gradually become a man, more and more resolute, and his whole body is full of capable taste, Li Yuanqing is also very pleased in his heart.

Officers like Wang Hai were all brought out by Li Yuanqing, and they were loyal to Li Yuanqing, and even if outsiders wanted to win them over, they would definitely have to spend a lot of effort.

They are Li Yuanqing's biggest capital.

"How's it going these days? How is the training of the Birds? ”

At this time, there were already more than 200 soldiers under Li Yuanqing's command, and after a short period of comprehensive training, they were assigned to the grassroots units of various departments.

Firearms is the most important and core of Li Yuanqing's military development in the future.

But including Li Yuanqing himself, he only has a vague concept of this kind of thing, and he can't grasp the main points, and many things have to be explored in actual combat.

At this time, Li Yuanqing was busy with affairs, so he used this way of decentralization to let the grassroots officers summarize and practice, and finally, he was responsible for the overall planning.

This is also the most labor-saving way in the scarcity of resources at this time.

Wang Hai thought for a while and said, "My lord, the bird soldiers are really sharp. In the previous drill, from a distance of seventy paces, they could shoot through leather armor. There are only twenty bird soldiers under the lowly position, and if they are sent together, the lowly position estimates that even if there are a hundred Tartars now, the lowly headquarters is not worthwhile. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, with the long-range strike of the bird soldiers as a cover, whether it is offensive or defensive, the officers will be more confident.

However, such as the coordination and cover of the birds, pikemen, and sword and shield soldiers, including the 'two-stage strike' and 'three-stage strike' to be carried out in the future, must be developed and perfected through actual combat.

"Don't just pick the good ones. Not enough to say. What do you think the current Bird Warriors are lacking? Li Yuanqing stared at Wang Hai's eyes and said.

Wang Hai also knew that this was his own adult who wanted to test himself, and his expression became solemn, he thought for a moment, and then said: "My lord, I feel that although the bird soldiers are sharp, they also have many shortcomings. For example, Birdmen are only suitable for long-range strikes, and once they are forced into close combat, they are dangerous. And although the rate of fire of the bird gun is faster than that of the archer, it is also very troublesome to reload the projectile and the like. I once thought that if I could quantify both the projectiles and gunpowder, would it be more convenient for the soldiers to fill them every time? Can you add some speed? Also, it hasn't rained yet, and the lowly post has no rainy days, and the birds and soldiers are drilling, which is also the most worrying problem of the lowly position. What should I do if it rains and the birds are on fire? ”

Li Yuanqing looked at Wang Hai talking eloquently, and couldn't help nodding slightly.

This kid's brain is spinning fast, and he actually takes into account such things as gunpowder.

In the era of arquebuses, the installation of gunpowder can be said to be a leap forward.

After the gunpowder was quantified and wrapped in oiled paper, the soldiers did not have to instinctively remove the amount of gunpowder from the powder bag every time they fired, so as to achieve the purpose of more accurate shooting.

After all, human feelings cannot be the standard.

Even experienced musketeers, on the battlefield, for various reasons, nervousness, etc., may have deviations in the amount of gunpowder, less, the impact of the projectile is insufficient, more, and the biggest danger is to explode.

The gunpowder is fixed in advance, which not only saves these efforts, but also makes the soldiers more accurate and safer in the launch.

Although Wang Hai is young, his brain is extremely good, this kid, if he trains hard, he will definitely be able to take charge of himself in the future.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Are you quite clever kids?" That's a good idea. Let's give it a try. ”
