Chapter 154: The situation is out of control

And much of the production of firearms has to be adapted to the needs of the front. More precise accuracy and greater lethality are required. Longer range.

Of course, there have been no revolutionary reforms in these years. After all, since it is a revolutionary change, it is not so easy to appear. But the latest firecracker, a lot of details have been finely polished. It's already pretty good on the spot.

After all, the name of the bird gun. It was named because it could hit birds.

The latest production of the master-polished fire gun is simply a work of art. Although it cannot be used as a sniper rifle. But at a distance of one or two hundred meters, it is already possible to hit accurately. And most of the ordinary soldiers' firecrackers naturally do not meet this standard.

But it's not a hit, and whether you can hit the target or not depends on prayer.

And such accuracy, such detail polishing and various improvements, naturally there is a price to pay, and this price is in the price of the firecracker. And these requirements, Song Sheng's department does not need them, it can only be said that they are not so needed.

Song Sheng's department's need for firearms also lies in replacing firearms with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.

Precision, naturally, want to demand. But the imperial court's military spending was never enough. With so many second-hand weapons in stock, Song Sheng was also very satisfied.

So much so that Song Sheng's department came up with a double spearman.

That is, he carried two guns, a spear and a firecracker. Or a firecracker, a long knife. Shoot in array from afar, rush closer, guy.

After all, firing with a firearm is not inherently difficult, and I didn't think about it anyway, just fire in one direction.

It is precisely this advantage that Zhao Yong is backward in various situations. After fighting a battle outside Puzhou, Zhao Yong was defeated in successive battles and retreated to Anyi. The Ming army in the direction of Henan urgently crossed the Yellow River to reinforce, maintaining the fragile ties between the two sides.

Once, Song Sheng took Anyi, after taking the southern area of Binh Duong Province. Shanxi was completely isolated from Nanjing.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yong also desperately drew troops from all sides, and did not dare to attack. There was no idea of attacking Guanzhong to contain the Northern Army. Wholeheartedly to guard the passage with Henan.

To put it mildly, this place cannot be defended, and Shanxi will fall sooner or later. And here it holds. Even if Taiyuan Mansion is lost, there are still some places in the southwest and southeast of Jin Province in his hands.

Such good news generally spread to various battlefields.

------

He Xi first felt that something was wrong.

The war deviated more and more from the original plan.

In the original plan, the Western Route Army and the Southern Route Army worked together to capture Luoyang City. Luoyang, the Central Plains wavered.

Then from Luoyang to the southeast, most of the Central Plains, the southern army must give up.

It's just that now it's different.

The situation in Sichuan is very good, which is somewhat beyond He Xi's expectations. He knew that Li Jinglong was very likely to defect. But He Xi never pinned his hopes on others. So he did it. Hanzhong is not prepared to defect. But I didn't expect Li Jinglong to do so well.

The Sichuan portal was opened all at once.

However, the war in Sichuan was like that. There won't be much progress for a while.

There are two problems affecting the war in Sichuan, one is logistics, and this is secondary. As for Sichuan, Beijing is already having a hard time supplying logistics. Not to mention that the route of supporting Sichuan logistics and supporting the Guanzhong battlefield coincided. To allocate logistics materials to Sichuan, it is necessary to encroach on the materials in Guanzhong.

You know, there is only one railroad in the rear, and this one is also being built during the war. Follow the Qin Straight Road all the way south. But this is a railway, and even the engineering standards in many places are somewhat over-standard to describe as simple and simple.

Many sections of the road are only a dozen miles per hour.

So, he's not a portal. It is impossible to send Beijing's supplies to the front without loss. There is also an upper limit.

To allocate materials for the Sichuan battlefield, it is necessary to allocate them from the logistics materials in Guanzhong.

It is impossible for He Xi to think about it

That's how it is. Therefore, the Sichuan battlefield could only rely on the materials stored in advance to fight against the materials captured from the southern army. And on the side of the Southern Army, their military supplies were not enough. How much inventory can there be.

On the whole, Mei Yin's department is the most pitiful. On Guangwu Mountain, every day regardless of cost, regardless of consumption. Even the heavy artillery of a regiment was depleted of the breeching formation. Here, they have to judge the number of cannons and the number of shells.

But the enemy they faced, too, was weak.

Although the war between the North and the South has been going on for more than three years. But most Sichuan people didn't realize the war was coming.

The war was not without an impact on Sichuan. After all, many of the troops and civilians came from Sichuan. These people have also heard about the death of people on the front line, or on the transport roads. But for most Sichuanese, war is still a relatively vague thing.

I just feel that my days are getting harder and harder day by day.

This is also the uneven burden of war in the ancient mode of warfare. The people on the front line are already in dire straits because of the transfer of war, or the looting of soldiers. And many places in the rear are still unheard.

If it weren't for the reforms brought about by He Xi, this regional rift would have been even stronger.

This is one of the reasons why China, as a unified dynasty, amazes many foreigners.

It is not easy to maintain unity in all aspects.

The people of Sichuan were not ready for the arrival of war, and a considerable part of the army of the Sichuan Metropolitan Division was in Shaanxi, and now it became part of Mei Yin and was about to fight back. In the face of such an enemy, there is also no need for much materiel.

But they also face a problem.

As said before, the people of Sichuan were not prepared for war at all, and they never thought that the war between the north and the south could be fought in Sichuan.

Regarding the three-year war, most people in Sichuan said that they were just eating melons. Wait for who wins in the future. Who is their emperor. But one accidentally wakes up in the night, no, we have become a battlefield here.

In this case, Sichuan people instinctively protect themselves.

To say that they are loyal to Nanjing is not necessarily. But they don't believe in Beijing, but they do. After all, I haven't been in contact before, and you kicked in the door in such a hurry, I know if you're good or bad.

It is normal for them to decide to protect themselves first and foremost.

Therefore, the resistance Mei Yin faced was quite strong.

Mei Yin didn't feel it at first.

After all, it was easy for him to take the sword gate, so he naturally opened up the situation in Sichuan. But many of the troops under his command have surrendered. Let's not talk about the surrender army from Sichuan. They don't do anything in their own country. But others are not so good to say.

In terms of military discipline, the surrendered army was completely inferior to the regular army of the Northern Army.

As long as there are a few serious violations of discipline, it is a good thing not to go out, and bad things to spread thousands of miles. Of course, Mei Yin can also learn from the Mongols' practices, kill people, and kill people for fear. Maybe there are many prefectures and counties in Sichuan that have surrendered.

But Mei Yin can't do this, he also has to cherish his feathers, and he still wants to return to the center.

So, he synthesized all kinds of situations. The decision was made to hold off for a moment. Everyone secretly colluded, there were many surrendered troops under his command, and they were colleagues with the Sichuan army opposite, and even brothers and sons were in different camps. In addition, Zhao Zongshou is also related to the local toast in Sichuan.

And Li Jinglong and Mei Yin also have their own connections in Sichuan.

As long as the people of Sichuan are convinced, the Northern Army will not do anything bad to Sichuan, and even the world will return to Beijing. These Sichuan people will not resist to the end.

However, it takes time to win the trust of the other party.

After all, many people in Sichuan have not considered it before, and I still have to choose a side.

He Xi was not surprised by the situation in Sichuan. As long as Beijing wins the two battles in the Central Plains and Guanzhong. Sichuan is not a problem.

But for the situation in other directions, He Xi is very, very big.

Guanzhong is fine. Qu Neng's adjustment, on the whole, did not exceed the authorization of the Privy Council, but it was because of the front line

Combat changes, with some temporary changes. This is still within Qu Neng's purview.

But Ye Shen is completely different. He almost completely abandoned the idea of capturing Luoyang.
