Chapter 274: Specially Formulated Sinister Tactics (2)
When everyone saw the emperor's sea of grenades, they all had new ideas about how to fight in the future, and they saw that the emperor gave the periscope this treasure, and the war with others in the future would make the enemy confused, and they were even more overjoyed, and they were all gearing up, eager to try it immediately. Looking at the emperor's eyes, it is definitely different, in the past, many of them were out of awe of imperial power, but now, it is out of the true awe of their own hearts, from the bottom of their hearts.
"Your Majesty, with this kind of treasure, with the grenade, with Your Majesty's way of playing, in the future, even if it is a small city on the border, it will be impossible for the Eastern Captives or the Mongols to touch under the walls of our dynasty! Your Majesty, after that, the city wall of our dynasty is worry-free......" Zhao Shujiao changed his expression of sadness to tears just now, and now, he is happily expressing his views to the emperor.
"Yes! Your Majesty, with such a sharp weapon and such a sharp method of warfare, I am afraid that I don't even have the courage to approach the city wall of my city! Your Majesty, this thing is really a treasure! …… It's just, I don't know, Your Majesty, can you equip a little more? The minister took it out and ...... majestic, "Man Gui is now going to clean up the Mongols, and the demand for this weapon is not great, but Man Gui is really a little obsessed with this kind of fighting style in a sea of fire."
"Man Gui, what do you want grenades for? You go to clean up the Mongols, do the Mongols still have a city wall? Yang Gai asked with a smile, this thing is tailor-made for wild boar skin, weapons, tactics, all of them are aimed at wild boar skin, because wild boar skin will attack the city, and the Mongols are waste firewood, and waste firewood cannot enjoy their own specially developed tactics.
Sun Chengzong said on the side: "Two, this kind of grenade, you must choose the first batch of arm strength to vote, the general arm strength of the second batch, the third batch, this is on the city wall down the throw, the new army is long-term training, therefore, there will be the thirty steps you see now, twenty steps of throwing distance, in fact, if it is used on flat ground, the average person can throw fifteen steps, even if it is more powerful, after throwing it you have to hide immediately, you two cavalry, to throw this kind of grenade on the horse, to be able to throw ten steps, Even if it is very powerful, ten steps ......, after you throw it, you must remember to find a place to ......hide immediately, otherwise, you will be killed by your own grenade and injured, don't blame Your Majesty for not reminding you in advance...... "Sun Chengzong explained the weakness of this grenade in a serious way.
"Your Majesty...... The minister ...... "The grievances on Man Gui's face, such a fun weapon, were not used for him, it really made him feel aggrieved."
"Your Majesty, what about the minister? Didn't the ministers either? Zhao Shujiao, as a backup of Man Gui, this sharp weapon was lost, and he was not reconciled, so he asked.
"Hehe...... don't worry, these grenades, which I showed you just now, are all heavy defensive grenades, which are specially used on the city walls, and the cavalry is much lighter than this, and the infantry is also lighter than this...... I am still letting people develop it, you can rest assured that you are ......" Yang Reform plans to rely on these few people in the future, of course, he will not be stingy with a little grenade, and he will use the current few units as a pilot for the military reform in the future, why don't you be stingy and not equip them with high-tech weapons? It's just that kind of defensive grenade, that thing, it's really a pit person, it's only suitable for throwing down on the city wall, standing high, throwing far, and the city wall for protection, so that it won't blow up itself, otherwise people who have not been trained will throw it on flat ground, ten steps away, who would dare to throw it? There is also this kind of black powder grenade is not suitable for long-term carrying on the body, first, the internal particles rub against each other will make the black powder have the risk of spontaneous combustion, second, long-term shaking, even if the particle black powder, there will be precipitation, affecting the explosion power, Yang Reform is also troubled by this, this black powder, to this extent, it can almost be said that to the top, the amount of gunpowder used, is more than one catty, only to have the effect today, the explosive power, can only be said to be barely satisfactory, barely enough, In fact, it was the idea of using grenades to consume the enemy's vital strength, and did not pin hope that the grenade was a decisive weapon, this kind of black powder grenade, on the whole, in addition to the heavy one used in the defense of the city has a better effect, the infantry, cavalry with light ones, that can only be said to be heard.
Yang Reform also has no choice, he can't do any picric acid, TNT and other high explosives, that is too dangerous, if possible, it can be handed over to those Taoist priests who make alchemy, Yang Reform himself still wants to be the emperor well, and he doesn't have the courage to try the soil method to refine bitter acid, and the soil method to engage in TNT ...... "Ah! Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty......" Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao couldn't care about the Harry Zi with a full face, and even kowtowed to the emperor to thank him, and he knew that the emperor was also very troubled about this matter, and the kind of grenade that gave them cavalry was just an artillery battle.
Yuan Chonghuan was so frightened! That envy, standard equipment? How much to replenish with how much? How generous this is! Why don't you have such a good thing and such a high standard?
"Your Majesty, the minister implores Your Majesty to allocate more grenades, the minister guards the city outside the pass, and directly confronts the Donglu, Your Majesty This kind of sharp weapon is specially used to deal with the Dongyu, specially used to defend the city, Your Majesty ......, the minister implores Your Majesty, you must allocate more! The minister can rely on this kind of sharp weapon. I hope Your Majesty will take care of the soldiers outside the gate! Yuan Chonghuan is full of confidence now, the emperor's grenade fire just now dispelled a lot of the coldness with the aura of death on his body, but it seems to be even more chilling. Yang Gai found that Yuan Chonghuan was like this, so he had to write "Don't approach the living" on the door of his head.
"Yuan Aiqing, the grenades will naturally not be missing from you, you will be allocated a batch, the big and small forts outside the Guan, you make your own plan, see how much you need, I will allocate it as appropriate, there will not be too many direct transfers, more, you may also need to buy it yourself, of course, this is only for the people and the large and small fortresses outside the Guan, a few big cities outside the Guan, I still try to give priority to allocation."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yuan Chonghuan stood up and thanked him.
Yang Reform thought about it for a while, and said: "Yuan Aiqing, you have been in the capital for a long time, you are the governor of Liaodong, sooner or later you will have to go to Liaodong, in a few days, you will go to office......" Yang Reform left Yuan Chonghuan in the capital, educated for a long time, abused for a long time, and finally wanted to let this leng out, and he gave him a killer weapon, with this killer feature, he should not lose the city again, at least he should not lose very miserably.
Yuan Chonghuan was stunned, although the emperor has always said that he wants to release himself as the governor of Liaodong, but he has always left himself in the Beijing Division, and now he is finally going to let himself out? In Yuan Chonghuan's heart, there is a little bit of expectation, a little bit of hope. Now he is not the same as he was half a year ago, Yuan Chonghuan is confident that he can block the attack of Dongyu and complete the things that His Majesty explained.
“…… Thank you, Your Majesty, Long. Yuan Chonghuan thanked him again.
“…… If you go to office, I can not give you much for the time being, first bring 300,000 silver coins to take office, and then I will pay you a monthly ......, you must act according to my arrangement, and coordinate with Mao Wenlong's side, once his side is tight, you must contain the Donglu in the west, in case you are tight on your side, you can also ask Mao Wenlong to contain in the east, I have already instructed Mao Wenlong, he will definitely cooperate with your ......, you two are the first line to contain the Dongyu, you must remember the words 'unity',...... The personnel responsible for assisting you in training the troops, including those who train grenade warfare, I have asked Master Sun to choose them for you, and they will follow you when you leave,...... When doing things and encountering problems, pay attention to proportion, don't be too reckless, and focus on the overall situation, understand? …… You go to Liaodong, try to popularize grenades to every big and small fortress within two or three months, so that the people outside the pass know how to use grenades ......, I want to let the women and children outside the pass have the ability to kill the eastern captives......" Yang Reform confirmed the military salary for Yuan Chonghuan, and tirelessly put a spell on Yuan Chonghuan. Of course, it is not a powerful organization that mobilizes the people, let alone a lofty ideal, but a blood feud against wild boar skin, silver, and grain. When the emperor does things, he must have the emperor's style.
"The minister's decree ......" Yuan Chonghuan stood up solemnly, and then gave the emperor a standard gift.
"Okay, get up......" Yang Gai watched Yuan Chonghuan finish the whole set of gifts in 1510, and breathed a sigh of relief, this Yuan Chonghuan was released, I don't know what the result will be, I can only look forward to it.
Liu Jishan is much better now, and his face is a little ruddy, the scene of red, white and green flying just now made him really lose his face, and when he saw that many of the bigwigs in front of him had finished speaking, he knew that he should also say it himself.
"Your Majesty, what about the minister? With such a sharp weapon, even with the weakness of Joseon, it is very simple to defend against the invasion of the Eastern Captives! The minister was full of confidence in this mission. "Liu Jishan now likes his errand very much, and when he goes to North Korea, as long as he rehearses the tactics of throwing bombs on three fronts at the king of North Korea, then the king of North Korea is not chasing after him to buy his own things? This kind of tactics is the tactics of restraining the Dongyu without artillery, if the enemy has artillery, the shortcomings of this tactic are very great, but he really doesn't have cannons in the east, so calculated, if you want to be next to the city wall, I am afraid that the price to pay is very high!
"You know, I know what to do, you go to North Korea, first bring 5,000 grenades, it is a gift from me to the king of Korea, let him see the power of this sea of grenades, and then tell him, let him buy grenades, I can send someone to help him train bomb throwing troops, and I can also sell some new muskets to the king of North Korea, in addition, the Franc machine cannon, you can also sell him some ......," Yang Gai said.
Everyone was stunned, 5,000 grenades, just sent out like this? This emperor really didn't treat money as money!
Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the military department, has never found a chance to speak today, and now seeing that the emperor sent five thousand grenades out at once, he felt that he had found something to say.
"Your Majesty, do you think it's too much to send five thousand grenades at once? Is it possible to change it? Send a little less, two thousand is probably enough. Liu Yanyuan felt that the number of five thousand was too much. Even if you want to throw the effect of throwing a grenade, you can do it as many as one or twenty times, which is a bit too much.
Yang Gai said in his heart: It seems that this guy is still not bright! are all typical examples of picking sesame seeds and throwing watermelons, how much did the Ming Dynasty spend on fighting for Korea? It's a few million taels bigger, and the cost of his 5,000 grenades is only a few hundred taels of silver, and compared with the million taels of silver, it's really impossible to look at.
"Liu Aiqing, I am also the emperor anyway, and the king of North Korea is also the lord of a country, and if I send too little, doesn't it seem that I am shabby? Can't show my determination? Is five thousand a lot? How much did I spend fighting for Korea and the Japanese in the past few years? Could it be that our DPRK will come to aid the DPRK on a large scale again, as it did in previous years? Yang asked rhetorically.
Liu Yanyuan was stunned, and persuaded the emperor to save money, that is the thinking that the ministers are accustomed to, and they have never considered anything else, as soon as they hear that the emperor spends money, they will definitely persuade him, and he thinks that the matter is urgent or not, and it is not important.
“…… This...... This...... Your Majesty is reasonable...... "Liu Yanyuan is embarrassed, the emperor's question, he can't answer it, a few years ago, the Ming Dynasty fought to the death for Korea!" The millions of taels of silver accumulated in Taicang over the years have been spent, and now the imperial court owes a lot of debts, and the disaster relief is still the emperor's handiwork, and he still goes to war like he did back then? Isn't this a matter of death? In this case, it is better to send more of this kind of sharp weapon to defend the city, so that the North Koreans can defend it themselves.
"Okay, I won't say much, Liu Jishan, you should also get out of the customs as soon as possible, after you arrive in North Korea, you can do it according to my arrangement, in addition, I will give you another quotation, which contains the production cost and sales cost of all kinds of weapons that I can sell in the DPRK, you take it to memorize, and then burn it, understand?" Yang Reform took out a list, which is the arms transaction catalogue drawn up by Yang Reform, as well as the transaction price and production price. Now that you've decided to be an arms dealer, let's be professional.
"The minister understands......" Liu Jishan immediately stepped forward and took the list handed over by Wang Chengen. Then he asked, "Your Majesty, the minister has one more question." ”
"What's the problem, let's talk about it." Yang reformed.
"Your Majesty, the Mongolian tribes have always had the habit of asking for rewards from our court, in case the minister contacts Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan asks the minister with a reward, how should the minister answer?" Liu Jishan is in the military department, has the right to read the official documents of the military department, letters and other things, he has not been less exposed to the Mongols to the Ming Dynasty to ask for rewards, only to remember, he wants to contact Lin Dan Khan to fight the East together, afraid that this Lin Dan Khan will have to ask for a reward, in order to succeed in his career, Liu Jishan decided to ask the emperor first, if he can get it, it is naturally the best, and it is very important to contact him.
"Reward?" Yang reformed for a moment. A few days ago, I did see that some tribes had a reward or something, but Yang Reform didn't care, because the strategy at that time had not yet been decided, so naturally he would not waste money in vain.
"It's okay, about Lin Dan Khan's reward, you can ask for instructions as soon as ......, and I'll talk about it then." Yang Reform didn't think about how much to give, and decided not to give it for the time being, because he was now deflated so badly that he couldn't move at every turn, and his shot was hundreds of thousands of taels, and now the two million taels of silver were about to bottom out, and Yang Reform also began to bet on him, and he had no money in his hand, so he began to shrink his hands and feet, according to Yang Reform's surname, he was going to use silver to smash Lin Dan Khan.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Jishan regretted that he didn't ask for money.
"Today, you have watched the offensive and defensive drills of the new army, and I have said so much, I will add a few words at the end, many arrangements outside my pass are mainly to deal with the Eastern Prisoners, and the Eastern Prisoners are the henchmen of our dynasty, and my current arrangement is not expected to be able to solve the Eastern Prisoners in one fell swoop, as long as the Eastern Prisoners can be besieged, it is considered a victory, and between the Eastern Prisoners, it is mainly based on defense and hard attrition, you must not be too impulsive, thinking about what to annihilate the Eastern Prisoners in one fell swoop......" Although Yang Reform said it to everyone, in fact, it was to remind Yuan Chonghuan againand don't mess around.
"Your Ministers obey." All should come.
Yang Reform is talking about dry mouth today, in order to show his muscles in front of his newly recruited henchmen, this play specially arranged, from the perspective of the effect, Yang Reform is very satisfied. Man Gui and Zhao led the command, I believe that there is no problem, Yuan Chonghuan, now I am afraid that he has no courage and no motivation to kill Mao Wenlong, he not only temporarily withdrew Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town from the sequence of Liaodong, but also separated the diplomatic power, and did not support his five years of Pingliao, so down, if Yuan Chonghuan can still make any trouble, Yang Reform will not know.
…… Liu Jishan retreated, and quietly opened the list that recorded the purchase and sale price of weapons, only to see that it read: "...... Grenade, heavy defensive type, weighing two pounds and four taels,...... Each cost 100 wen, and the price starts from 500 wen,......"
…… Yang Gengai showed his biceps in front of his subordinates today, Shi Wei was very successful, he was very proud, and he was in a good mood.
"Big companion, take advantage of the time there is still time today, go to Liulizhai for a trip......" Yang Reform said proudly, this Liulizhai wool business, Yang Reform is going to hand over to Tian Guifei's father Tian Hongyu, naturally I have to go in person, without further ado, I decided to go today.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed.
