I'm a big dick

Chapter 408 The feeling of personal experience, the reason for punishing Chao's mistakes

Jiannu's so-called invincible riding and shooting has been thoroughly understood by the Ming army, and it is not the case at all.The means by which Jiannu relied on to win was actually hand-to-hand combat, the heavy armored infantry rushed to fight, and the infantry's big bow covered fire.

As for Jiannu's cavalry, they had a remarkable record in chasing and killing, and their power was exaggerated in disguise.In the face of a rigorous battle formation, there are very few battles in which Jiannu cavalry rushed to the formation.

The flintlock and bayonet can make eighteen kinds of weapons kneel down and sing conquest.

Although the Ming army has not yet fully grasped the essence, what horizontal formations add columns, what horizontal rows quickly spread out, and expand the firepower output area.

But in this era, the Ming army was already considered the most advanced land army, and it opened the prelude to a major change in combat mode.

Of course, each Ming army has not yet formed a fixed and unified combat mode, and they are all trying to improve it.Chariots plus artillery make up for the lack of tactics, and it is also a traditional and safe method of warfare.

And Jianu didn't realize this. To put it in the simplest sentence, it is "the times have changed".

In fact, even Zhu Youxiao, who spared no effort to promote the upgrading of the Ming army's weapons and equipment, and promote the continuous improvement of the Ming army's tactics, is not very sure about the strength gap between the enemy and us.Being cautious is still his purpose.

The Ming army in eastern Liaodong was advancing towards Jianzhou, and the Ming army in southern Liaoning was also ready, advancing steadily northward, pointing directly at Haizhouwei.

"Huizu, let's move on!" Zhang Zongbao patted Zhao Huizu on the shoulder, and said in a comforting tone, "We can't go to that island!"

Zhao Huizu rolled his eyes, turned his head and ignored his old friend, jumped off the horse and threw the reins to his old friend, walked up a few steps and pushed the cannon cart out of the mud pit with the soldiers.

Zhang Zongbao shook his head and didn't care.He knew that Zhao Huizu still missed that innocent and kind peasant girl, but everyone knew that it was impossible.

As artillery officers who graduated from martial arts, they first arrived in western Liaoning, but they did not encounter any battles, but the work of training artillery has not stopped.

Now he has been transferred to southern Liaoning to participate in the attack on Haizhouwei.It seemed to be getting closer, and it seemed to arouse Zhao Huizu's thoughts again.

Slapping the dust off his hands, Zhao Huizu walked back, took the reins from Zhang Zongbao, turned on the horse, and moved very neatly.

"When Jiannu is eliminated, we should become generals." Changing the subject, Zhang Zongbao said with a smile, "Even if we don't rely on our family, we will not have to worry about food and drink with our salary."

Zhao Huizu nodded, and said: "We are self-sufficient, isn't that what you and I plan to do? The elders also made it clear that relying on the shadow of our ancestors first, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future!"

"Uncle thinks so too?" Zhang Zongbao asked knowingly, just to divert Zhao Huizu's thinking.

Zhao Huizu smiled wryly, and said: "The life of the vassal is not easy, let alone a noble with a foreign surname? The virtue of a gentleman is beheaded for five generations. Many people don't understand this truth."

"Yes, many people don't understand." Zhang Zongbao looked at the advancing troops and nodded with deep emotion, "If you and I hadn't experienced the battlefield, we wouldn't understand."

Zhao Huizu shook his head, not quite agreeing with Zhang Zongbao's statement.It's not as simple as going through the battlefield, but the change from the beginning to the present.

You know, they were there when Dongjiang opened the town.At that time, what did the soldiers wear, what did they use, and what did they eat?
There is a regular soldier with a red and fat jacket, the armor is old and worn out, and the most weapons are knives and guns, and there are few bows and arrows.Several Franco cannons were unloaded from the Navy's ship.

The siege of the city is really based on the heap of human lives. Zhao Huizu can't forget the scene of climbing the ladder to the top of the city and being beaten down bloody.

Looking at the present, not to mention the officers, even the soldiers are well-equipped with armor, flintlock muskets and bayonets, and a large number of artillery to help out.

Over the past few years, the Liaodong Ming Army has really undergone a radical change.And these, to put it bluntly, are piled up with money.

The victory and the advantage accumulated by money are easy to say, but how much money do you need?
Fatty Zhao only counted the cost of a soldier, and when he thought about the tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong, he grinned and couldn't imagine it.

How easy is it for the emperor to spend so much money?It's simply unimaginable if you don't go around grabbing money, and don't start with a cruel heart.

Of course, with different backgrounds, Fatty Zhang would not be so impartial.

But after seeing the misery of the Liao people, the decay of the Liao land, the ferocity of the slaves, and the struggle of the Ming army, the resistance is much less than that of the rich and powerful children who still stay in the capital and enjoy themselves.

Moreover, Fatty Zhao sometimes thinks about it and feels that his life is quite wonderful.When I was a dandy in the capital, I just wanted to find some excitement when I was free.Now, don't look for it, the stimulation will hit your eyes.

"Think about when I first arrived in Dongjiang, I laughed at them like beggars and ate pig food!" Zhang Zongbao laughed at himself, "but after a few days, pig food tastes better than anything else."

Zhao Huizu nodded, laughed too, and said, "That pancake is so baked that it can knock out teeth. But when you're hungry, it's delicious..."

The words stopped abruptly, Zhao Huizu's eyes were a little dazed, he thought of the warm steamed buns handed over by the girl who had left her hometown while eating a pancake in the cold wind.

It should be able to live on. The imperial court is not only very concerned about military supplies, but also provides relief to the Liao people.Thinking about it, Zhao Huizu sighed silently.

........................

The wheel of fortune began to deflect in the second year of the apocalypse, and the longer the time, the more it deflected.Today, I am afraid that those whose fate has not been changed are a very small number of people.

And the closer you are to the emperor, or the closer you live to the capital, the more obvious the difference in fate.It's just that no one knows this.

This is not surprising at all. Everyone thinks that they are walking their own life path, and no one knows what their destiny is, let alone being changed.

Only Emperor Zhu Youxiao knew that the history of Ming Dynasty had changed, and the destiny of the people of Ming Dynasty had changed.There are good and bad, but mostly good, and that's enough.

"...the most unavoidable thing in the world's troubles is called peace and tranquility, but in fact there are unexpected worries..."

Zhu Youxiao agreed, and said: "It is true, this Chao Cuo's discussion is really out of the ordinary."

Sun Chengzong hesitated for a while, cupped his hands and said, "Long live, this is what Su Shi said in his book "On Chao Cuo."

"On Chao Cuo"? !It turned out that it was not Chao Cuo's exposition, but the discussion on Chao Cuo written by Su Dongpo.

Zhu Youxiao chuckled twice, and said: "Chao Cuo died unjustly, Emperor Han Jing is confused."

Sun Chengzong pondered and said: "Chao Cuo is 'steep, straight, carved, and deep', and his relationship with his officials is not harmonious. It can be said that he is not good at personal planning. But he is far-sighted for the country and has no regard for himself, which can be praised by future generations."

After a pause, Sun Chengzong went on to say: "Emperor Jing's decision to punish Chao Cuo may not be because he is confused, and he also has his own plans..."

Is this the so-called imperial mind technique?Listening to Mr. Sun's explanation, Zhu Youxiao was not sure whether he wanted to learn it.

Emperor Han Jing was not so naive, thinking that killing Chao Cuo would allow the Allied Forces of the Seven Kingdoms to stop fighting.It's just that the killing of Chao Cuo can make the rebellious Seven Kingdoms lose their reasonable and legitimate excuses, and it can also stabilize other princes who are waiting and watching.

Moreover, important officials such as Zhou Yafu, Li Shang, Luan Bu, Dou Ying, etc. all had a bad relationship with Chao Cuo.Emperor Han Jing still had to rely on these important officials and let them resist the rebels loyally.After weighing the pros and cons, it was difficult for Chao Cuo not to die.

　The computer hasn’t been repaired yet, so I bought a USB flash drive to redo the system, but the new USB flash drive couldn’t be formatted, and I was pissed off.
