Chapter 544: Premeditated War
The map hangs on the side of Huang Taiji's study.
The geography of Anshan's mountains and rivers, and even every bridge, are clearly marked on the map.
Huang Taiji stood in front of the map, staring for a long time.
The golden sunlight shone in, projecting Huang Taiji's burly figure on the ground.
"Judging from the movements of the Liaodong Army, it is very likely that Yang Chengying intends to launch an attack on our Anshan City in order to destroy the bridgehead of our army."
The Anshan City that Sakhalian said was built by Huang Taiji's order recently.
The standard of city construction is compared with Zunhua City.
There are cannons in the city that are made of gold, and although they are not many in number, they are stronger than none.
The purpose of the construction of this city is to use Anshan City as a base for advancement, and to encroach on the people of Haizhou step by step.
The Haizhou garrison was still well guarded, and there was a large force of cavalry to respond, and the Houjin army did not have many mobile phone opportunities.
But if it continues, the Ming army can't bear it.
Pulling out this wedge has become something that Yang Chengying must do.
This is Saharan's view.
"If he comes to play into the hands of our army, we can take the opportunity to fight the enemy in the field and wipe them out under Anshan City."
Yue Zhen said very confidently.
In the past few years, the Liaodong Army has avoided decisive battles with the Later Jin Army. Even if they send troops, they will fight more and fight less, and adopt the tactics of encirclement and beating.
"In other words, people know that they may enter Armageddon."
Sakhalian said: "Big brother, we must not take it lightly. ”
"Hmph, third brother, you are reading and reading."
Yue Zhen looked disdainful, "If it wasn't for the Great Khan's refusal to fight last time, our army would definitely be able to inflict a heavy blow on the Liaodong Army." ”
"It has nothing to do with whether you read or not!"
Sakhalian said angrily.
It's just that Yue Zhen doesn't like to read the books of the Central Plains, and he actually looks down on reading!
Derge came in and walked quickly to the front of Huang Taiji and reported: "Great Khan! According to the information of the detailed investigation, after the sports meeting, Yang Chengying left Guangning and arrived in Gaizhou. ”
Huang Taiji took the paper handed over by Derge, and he said strangely: "What kind of calculation is Yang Chengying making?" Why not go straight to Haizhou? ”
He handed the piece of paper with the information written on it to Yue Yan beside him and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Yue Zhi took the information suspiciously, and after he glanced at it, he realized that he couldn't think of it, and handed the information to Saharan.
Sakhalian guessed: "It is very likely that he will be waiting for the troops to be assembled before leading his army north." ”
"It's possible." Yue Yu hurriedly said, "Great Khan, whether we want to send troops to Anshan City, we can't resist it by relying on the Zhenglan Banner alone." ”
"There's no hurry."
Huang Taiji looked out the window, "How determined is Yang Chengying!" ”
Since the withdrawal of troops from Haizhou, Huang Taiji has keenly discovered that there are unstable factors in the country, mainly because of the huge contradiction between Qiding and Baoyi.
In order to bridge this contradiction, Huang Taiji issued various policies. In order to prevent the recurrence of Amin and the like, he did not choose to send troops to invade Jizhen.
These circumstances cannot be hidden from Yang Chengying's ears and eyes.
Therefore, Huang Taiji is not sure how ambitious Yang Chengying is.
There is no big mistake in Houjin's intelligence, Yang Chengying did arrive in Gaizhou.
But after he himself arrived in Gaizhou, he did not stay there and wait for the army to gather, but quietly took the guards to the Tiangong Bureau in the ravine.
The mining and application of tungsten ore has been thoroughly studied by the Tiangong Bureau headed by Song Yingxing.
They combined tungsten powder and iron and other metals, and tried to create a batch of sabers according to the slab drawings provided by Yang Chengying.
The total length is 93 cm, the blade length is 78 cm, the blade width is 3.2 cm, the blade thickness is 0.5 cm, and the weight is 3.7 catties. The scabbard has a double ring that can be hung around the waist. The handle of the knife is a Western-style saber to prevent it from getting out of hand.
Since it was the first time it was made, there were only fifteen sabers in this batch, and each one was not sharpened.
When the knife was unsheathed, I could still feel the chill coming from the blade.
After Yang Chengying observed, he nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, this is the high-grade saber I want." ”
"Dashuai, who are you going to give this knife to?" Zu Zerun was eager to try.
Not only him, but the guards coveted this saber.
They saw with their own eyes that Zu Zerun tried the knife, and when the knife went down, the wood was cut in half.
"These knives are not available for the time being."
Yang Chengying put the knife back in its place, "Equal the amount is larger, and give those senior cavalry a try." ”
The guards were disappointed for a while, such a good saber, it's a pity!
Song Yingxing smiled, seeing that his masterpiece was loved by so many people, and a sense of pride arose.
"Mr. Song, I want to take a look at the lathe you designed."
Yang Chengying was a little impatient.
"You come with me."
Song Yingxing led the way, and Yang Chengying saw the lathe of his dreams.
Before leaving, the lathe was only in its infancy, but now it is fully formed.
"According to your request, and the plan that I have discussed, I have made a flintlock pistol with a lathe and other methods, and I would like to ask you to take a look."
Song Yingxing said, opening the kraft paper, and the brand-new flintlock pistol was revealed.
Yang Chengying took the flintlock pistol, glanced at the launch department, and nodded.
It is said that it is a flintlock pistol, but in fact, Song Yingxing has improved the firing department on the original basis.
The firing part is more precise, and the chance of firing is less severe.
"This gun is good, and if it can be mass-produced, it will definitely change the battlefield in the future."
Yang Chengying said excitedly while aiming into the distance.
"This requires the marshal to arrange for skilled workers from the Ordnance Bureau to come and learn. Proficiency in tools such as lathes is the only way to produce them. ”
Song Yingxing said.
"I'll consider this later."
Yang Chengying said: "Now is to ask you to master these techniques and compile an operation manual. ”
"Manual?" Song Yingxing was taken aback.
"It's like military law, so you can make sure that you don't mess around during production, and if there is a problem with a lathe or something, you can repair it or stop it in time."
Yang Chengying tried to explain as simply as possible.
Song Yingxing understood: "There is no problem with this, I will write it out soon." ”
"That's great." Yang Chengying said with a smile.
The development of firearms has been accompanied by the progress of other industries, rather than the development of a single industry.
Just like Yang Chengying couldn't count on the Tiangong Bureau, nested in the ravine, to mass-produce sabers and flintlock pistols.
At the moment, it can only be used as a cradle. Wait for the future to occupy a large-scale tungsten mine, and then talk about the batch.
Zu Zeyuan walked up to Yang Chengying and Song Yingxing and reported: "Marshal, there is a message from the Haizhou front that the Tartar cavalry will attack separately and plunder our people. General Shang has already sent cavalry to attack and harass, and the follow-up situation will have to wait for the next report. ”
"Looting? No, it is a test of our army. ”
Yang Chengying judged, "Our army must be stabilized, and the number of generals in each army will be clear, and we will go north after I go back." ”
"Understood." Zu Zeyuan stepped back.
He wanted to hand over Yang Chengying's words to the beacon soldiers and pass them on to the generals on the front line.
After Zu Zeyuan retreated, Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Song Yingxing: "Mr. Song, life and death are fighting here, please wait for the good news of my triumph." ”
"I wish Yang Shuai a victory and a triumphant return!"
Song Yingxing nodded heavily.
