"I really didn't expect that after such a big change in our firearms, compared with this braid, it is still at a disadvantage."

The one who spoke out was Zhu Houzhao of Wu Zong.

Although I was very reluctant to believe this scene in front of me, since it was shown to them by the immortal master, it must be the truth.

In fact, this is also normal, it will be hundreds of years different from the time, even if the Daming science and technology tree climbs fast, it is impossible to span hundreds of years of development in just one or two decades.

"Immortal Master, can you know how many of these firearms are on the Braided Qing side?"

Old Zhu Di asked in a condensed voice.

In Lao Zhu Di's view, this point is extremely important.

Only by knowing the opponent's firepower can we formulate a better response strategy.

If the other side really has tens of thousands of such heavy machine guns, then in the battle of the plains of the two armies, as long as the other side lines up, even if they shoot frantically with their eyes closed, then their side will not have the probability of winning at all, and they will deliver food more or less when they go up.

This is the huge gap that comes with firepower.

"I don't know."

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu Di and said lightly.

This is not Ji Boying's trickery with the old Zhu Di, but the truth.

If it is according to the original trajectory, even if it was Braided Qing before Guangxu years ago, it only bought dozens of Makqin heavy machine guns, and the treasury really had no money, so they were all used to hold a birthday banquet for Cixi, and mainly to buy cannons for Beiyang.

I don't know.

These big men all frowned, and the heaviness on their faces was even worse.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

Then.

The surrounding picture changed suddenly.

Looking up, this is a sunny day, this is a martial arts arena, and there are several new weapons that the Zhu family has never seen before.

"This is Gatling."

Ji Boying pointed lightly.

'Gatling! ’

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the immortal master.

As early as 1874, Li Hongzhang asked the braided Qing at that time to buy dozens of Gatling from overseas to strengthen the Qing army's land combat capability.

"It's a Manricher rifle."

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of several gunshots, everyone looked towards a row of braids that were being test-fired, and they felt a sense of déjà vu for the guns in the hands of these braids.

"Rifles are rifled guns."

"One thing can be confirmed, Braided Qing has the ability to equip the whole army with this kind of musket."

The voice fell.

The hearts of these great tomorrows and commanders are fierce again.

Ji Boying glanced at these people, his words were definitely not simply alarmist, nor were they intended to scare these big boys.

When most people look at modern history, they think that the braided weapons are very backward, and they often ignore this point.

This is not the case.

At that time, the pigtails were still very rich at the beginning, or very rich.

On the contrary, Western countries are very keen to sell arms to Braids, and they do not need Braids to find them, and they are all actively selling them to each other, so that they can make a lot of money from it.

Needless to cite other examples, it can be seen from the establishment of the Beiyang Fleet that most of the firearms of the Beiyang Fleet were purchased from overseas, and there was no such thing as an arms blockade at all.

And.

After Cixi, an old woman with a sick brain, declared war on the nations, the Eight Kingdoms captured Tianjin, and captured more than 30,000 of the most advanced 19th-century Manricher rifles from the Qing army.

This rifle was more modern than the carbines equipped by the Austro-Hungarian armies in the eight countries at that time, and it caused the eight countries to rush for a while.

It can be said that the failure of braiding is not in firearms, but in artificiality, and the entire braid cleaning from top to bottom, nine out of nine are waste.

History has allowed Braided Qing to dominate China for more than 200 years, which is really the shame of China, the shame of Yanhuang, and the existence of Braided Qing, making the image of China in front of the world a braid that can not be cut.

This braid has become a label for Westerners on the Chinese people, which makes countless Han family children deeply ashamed.

"This is a Nordenfeld multi-barreled machine gun that can fire 350 rounds per minute and has a range of two thousand meters."

When the commanders of the Ming Dynasty and the Son of Heaven were shocked, the voice of the immortal master sounded again, and everyone followed the voice of the immortal master.

"Often equipped on ships."

'350 rounds a minute!' ’

Everyone's pupils shrank in shock.

Ji Boying has a little impression of this machine gun, and Braided Qing seems to like this one very much, and it can be said that he purchased equipment in large quantities.

Just when everyone's eyes were still focused on this Nordenfei multi-barreled machine gun, the voice of the immortal master had already sounded again, and at this time, his eyes looked at another place.

It was a cannon that looked extremely bluffing.

Lao Zhu took the lead in looking, and the Sichuan character lines on his brows were a little tighter, because at least in Hongwu Daming, can't produce cannons of this caliber.

"The Krupp cannon, with a caliber of 280 mm, an elevation angle of up to 30 degrees, an effective firing range of 19,760 meters, a shell that can penetrate a steel plate of 65.8mm within 3,000 meters, and can fire 1-2 shells per minute."

As the immortal master introduced the performance of this Krupp cannon, the commanders of the Ming Dynasty once again collectively fell into silence.

They originally thought that the firearms of the Ming dynasties were already very awesome, but they didn't expect that this braid Qing already had such a powerful firearm, and they were at least fifty years ahead of the Ming dynasty by picking one out of each one.

Don't say anything else.

Let's just say that this cannon with a range of 20,000 meters is enough to crush the Ming dynasties.

Now the Tiangong Institute of the Ming Dynasty has only just broken the distance of 10,000 meters at the longest-range cannon that it can provide, and the stability is extremely insufficient, it is very easy to explode, and it is still in the testing stage, and there is no large-scale production equipment.

And Braided Qing already has a cannon with a range of 20,000 meters.

"Twenty thousand meters."

"Doesn't it mean that our army has to brave the braid artillery fire to sprint for tens of thousands of meters in order for our firearms to be effective?"

Wuzong Zhu Houzhao said in a condensed voice.

On the battlefield, this is an extremely horrible thing.

When the two armies face each other, the opponent's firearms cover your entire army, and you have to attack the whole army for tens of thousands of meters before you can get the opportunity to fight against the enemy.

Daming and all the bosses of the Son of Heaven have been able to imagine such a scene, how can it be a tragic word.

Everyone was silent at this moment.

Even Lao Zhu, after reading this paragraph, frowned.

He was replanning the tactics in his mind based on the terrain of the map.

Under the gap in firearms and equipment, it is obviously not advisable to attack the position, and the braided Qing is far beyond the current Ming dynasties in terms of the rate of fire and the range of firearms.

"Fortunately, my naval division will definitely be far superior to this braid, and in terms of naval warfare, our army will not have to worry about it."

The person who spoke out was Zhu Youzhen from Chongzhen.

Since Chongzhen turned the tables against the wind, Zhu Youzhen took over the original position from the blackened Zhu Qizhen of the substitute class, and the current Emperor of Tangles can be said to be extremely confident, and he dares to fight the three-body people.

Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Youzhen, this entangled emperor now looks high-spirited, after being baptized, he is not as entangled and mentally retarded as before, he can be regarded as a king of success.

It's just that this brain is still too simple and doesn't want to do anything.

"Let's see."

With the words of the immortal master, the voice fell.

Everyone found that the scene around them had changed dramatically.

36D holograms.

The sun was shining, the sea breeze was blowing, and a few seagulls were flying by.

As far as the eye can see, this place is a harbor.

And above this harbor, there are hundreds of ships moored, all of them are steel warships, and each warship has a deep gun muzzle.

Just as everyone was looking at the harbor fleet, the voice of the immortal master rose again.

"This is the Beiyang Fleet in the Guangxu period, including 25 main warships, including ironclad ships, armored cruisers, dome cruisers, etc., auxiliary warships, 50, 30 transport ships, its capital ships are equipped with the most advanced artillery and armor, artillery configuration includes 305 mm caliber main guns, 150 mm caliber secondary guns, etc., is the first fleet in Asia at that time."

In fact, there is no need for the immortal master to speak, these commanders of the Great Tomorrow will most likely understand it.

After all, the current Ming dynasties, with the rapid development of the scientific and technological tree of the Tiangong Institute, as well as the national steel production brought about by the rise of national strength, especially with the large-scale use of steam engines.

For the rebuilding of the naval fleet, each dynasty has carried out renovations in recent years.

The most subversive change is the transformation of the original wooden hull into a steel hull, which greatly strengthens the sturdiness of the hull and increases the sailing speed, strengthening the overall combat power of the fleet.

However.

The difficulties can be imagined.

The silver that was smashed down, all the heavens were distressed, and the Jiajing Immortal suffered insomnia for three days and three nights, and finally endured the pain and approved a quasi-word.

"Although our fleet has implemented the construction of all-steel warships, it is really much worse than this Beiyang fleet."

"I'll have to admit that."

Jianwen Zhu Laosi said in a condensed voice.

There was nothing wrong with what he said.

Only by accepting the gap, facing the gap, and facing the gap squarely, can we finally overcome the gap.

"Hmm."

The Immortal Master nodded, indicating that what Jianwen Zhu Laosi said was indeed right.

The Beiyang Fleet, the capital ships are basically customized from the maritime overlord at that time, with the strongest warship level in the 19th century, naturally not comparable to the Ming dynasties that have only developed science and technology for more than ten or twenty years.

"Brother, morale is a little low."

Lao Zhu said in a low voice.

I saw that the group of big tomorrows in the audience, many of their original confident colors, all dissipated into nothingness at the moment, and they all frowned, their faces full of sadness.

In the face of this gap in front of them, everyone has a feeling of being splashed with chicken blood.

After all, after being cool for decades, I was suddenly pressed on my head, or pressed by braids, and I really couldn't bear it.

"That's your business."

Ji Boying patted Lao Zhu's shoulder.

But after thinking about it, it is inevitable to cheer up these people.

"Facing the gap, facing the gap, going against the current, and becoming more and more brave the more you fight, this is the quality that a brave person should have."

"In my heart, only by becoming such a brave man can you be qualified to lead the Ming Dynasty to unparalleled glory."

The immortal master spoke lightly.

It was just a short two sentences, which made the original morale of the great tomorrow come back to their senses in an instant, and they all took a deep breath, and their eyes rekindled their fighting spirit.

"I'm scared!"

Wuzong Zhu Houzhao grinned.

"I can destroy his ancestors, and I can still be afraid of these braided grandchildren?!"

As Wu Zong's voice fell.

The others cheered along.

Anyway, it's just one word, Gan!

"Fourth, Xu Da, Wang Yangming, Qi Jiguang, a few of you come here."

It will.

Lao Zhu looked at Lao Zhu Di, Jianwen Zhu Laosi in the crowd, as well as Hongwu Xu Da, Zhengde Wang Yangming, and Jiajing Qi Jiguang.

The five of them heard the voice of Emperor Taizu, and hurriedly came to Lao Zhu's side on stage and began to start the first round of strategic discussions with Lao Zhu.

Apparently.

Lao Zhu planned to use these five people to form a strategic command and formulate the highest strategy.

After all, in a disadvantaged situation, the formulation of strategy is extremely important.

The tailwind does not reflect the commander's ox fork, and only when the headwind turns the tables can the commander's command art be brought into play.

Ji Boying glanced at a few people, as well as the commanders of the various dynasties who began to buzz and discuss in the audience.

'Blackie, can you show some enemy strength?' ’

I asked in my heart.

Ji Boying was actually very curious about what kind of level the braided Qing Ten Dynasty on the opposite side was.

………………

Meanwhile.

Continental battlefield.

The location of the Destiny of the Braided Qing Dynasty.

Shengjing City, Dazheng Palace.

At this moment, in this hall, there is a lively atmosphere.

Braids wearing golden dragon robes, from left to right, Huang Taiji (Tiancong, Chongde), Fulin (Shunzhi), Xuanye (Kangxi), Yinzhen (Yongzheng), Hongli (Qianlong), Yiyan (Jiaqing), Min Ning (Daoguang), Yixu (Xianfeng), Zaichun (Tongzhi), Zai Xiang (Guangxu), Puyi (Xuantong).

They were all saluting Nurhachi on the throne, and they were all extremely excited, after all, except for Huang Taiji and Fulin, this was the first time that others had seen their ancestors.

Especially the youngest Xiao Pu, who is the last in seniority among the people, is still a doll who doesn't understand anything.

"Alright, press that witch up."

After a brief run-in, the old slave on the throne already knew the general situation of each dynasty.

"A big war is imminent, and the forces of all sides are the most congealed."

"How can I, the son of Nurhachi, be swayed by a woman?"

"Bring it on."

As the old slave's voice fell.

I saw that from outside this hall, there were three women, one was in her prime, beautiful and moving, one was slightly feminine and charming, and the other was old and had wrinkled skin, all of whom were escorted in, not because they couldn't walk because of their bodies, but because they were frightened.

Cixi, who came from the Xianfeng, Tongzhi, and Guangxu dynasties, said: What's the matter? This is to take my head and sacrifice the flag!
