Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 703 Sanlu Pingmo
Mo Dunrang's miraculous defeat in Ningping, Gao Yushi in Guangxi is still unknown for the time being, but although he can't figure out how the war between Mo Dynasty and Li Dynasty was fought, he knows that since Mo Jingdian's death, Mo Dunrang From then on, the army was as weak as if it had eaten Shixiang Ruanjin powder, and it hadn't won any battles until the country was destroyed.

Turning over the annals of history, it's all a series of defeats, defeats, defeats, defeats.Therefore, under such circumstances, Gao Wushi felt that there was no problem in sending troops, but for the convenience of command, he moved from Nanning to Mingjiang City, Siming Prefecture, and set up the general headquarters here.

This time, in accordance with the highly pragmatic requirements, the chieftains of western Guangxi and southern Guangxi gathered a total of [-] troops, of which [-] were from western Guangxi and [-] from southern Guangxi.

The chieftains were in charge of the land route, and they had two directions. Cen Ling led the western Guangxi wolf soldiers from the border of Shunzhou and Zhen'an Prefecture and went south to take Gaoping.

In terms of difficulty, the current two roads are fighting in the mountains, but the defense of Lang Son must be tighter than that of Gaoping, so the pressure on Huang Zhiting's troops is relatively high. In addition, Huang Zhiting's troops are smaller than Guangxi, only 3000 With [-] people, this pressure is further amplified.

In order to ensure the attack power of Huang Zhiting's troops, Gao Wushi not only replaced the chieftain wolf soldiers of Huang Zhiting's troops with new wrought iron spearheads in advance, but also provided an artillery unit of 500 people, with a total of [-] Jinghua Bingzi type light artillery ( The tiger crouching cannon that was finalized in the fourth year of Wanli) and ten Jinghua Jimao-style medium cannons (the medium and large Folang machine gun that was finalized in the seventh year of Wanli).

Originally, Gao Wushi really wanted to provide her with a batch of the Jinghua Gengchen Type [-] heavy artillery that was finalized and trial-produced last year, but after he and Huang Zhiting's generals visited the samples of the artillery together, this idea was rejected because The transportation is inconvenient, and it does not conform to the general idea of ​​"speeding up fast".

Huang Zhiting's confidant and favorite general, Huang Hu, said with a smile: "Don't worry about the table, with the No. [-] Frang machine at the ten gates, we will definitely be able to take down Lang Son City. If you are worried that it is not fast enough, you don't need to take the No. [-] Flang machine." Come on, that one is too difficult to walk on mountain roads, just this kind of No. [-]... Uh, I got shot with one shot, and then there are ten or twenty shots, we don't think there are too many."

黄虎是按照现在大明的习惯性说法来说的，大明从高拱改革之后，由京华火炮厂牵头重新整理了火炮制造规格，现在一共有五种佛郎机，其中一号长8到9尺、弹重一斤、装药一斤；二号长7到8尺、弹重八两、装药九两；三号长5到6尺、弹重半斤、装药六两；四号长3到4尺、弹重四两、装药三两五钱；五号长两尺、装弹七钱、装药一两二钱。

This specification is the general specification of the Ming Dynasty, but Jinghua has another system. The artillery produced is based on Jinghua's habit, named after the year of the model and the model of the year. However, due to high pragmatism, it is difficult to provide too much for the military industry. In fact, there is only one type of finalized model for most artillery in one year, so the "two types of a certain year" is rare at present.

Huang Hu's proposal is highly pragmatic and cannot be satisfied, because the number of artillery he mobilized in advance is limited, and he can only support these at present.

"Battle of Liangshan, I can't give you any more support, but there should be a batch of artillery on the way to the south. If everything goes well, maybe you can get another batch during the battle of Shenglong." Gao Wushi smiled.

Huang Hu was not disappointed, but thanked him immediately.

To be honest, he has never enjoyed this kind of treatment before. In the past, the officers and soldiers would not support their chieftain wolf soldiers with artillery.

Looking at Huang Zhiting in military uniform, Gao Yushi was a little helpless. He originally didn't intend to let Huang Zhiting lead the army in person, although in Guangxi, it is common for female chieftains to lead troops in battle, just like Mrs. Wa's back then, but Gao Yushi was old and honest. I think it's a bit weird for a girl like Huang Zhiting who looks delicate to lead troops into battle.

However, Huang Zhiting refused to listen to his persuasion, and she refused to explain further. She said that since the Cen family was led by Cen Ling, she must also fight on behalf of the Huang family. The unreliable younger brother Huang Yinglei that the wolf soldiers handed over to her?

Gao Wushi really tried to persuade her not to move, so he had to repeatedly tell her not to kiss Shi Shi, and even found a good reason, saying that in the current situation of the Huang family, if she couldn't take care of things, the entire Huang family would definitely be suppressed by the Cen family. superior.

Huang Zhiting silently nodded in agreement.

Of course she is very aware of the current situation, and Gao Wushi really takes care of her, but the overall strength of the Huang family is indeed a bit weaker than that of the Cen family. Send troops to Lang Son.

Lang Son is difficult to attack, but once it is captured, it will definitely be a great achievement. With this achievement, the interests of the Huang family in Annan can be guaranteed in the future.

She not only wants to benefit the Huang family, but also doesn't want to make it difficult for Gao Wushi to do so.

In addition to the land route, Gao Wushi took care of the water route.Jinghua mobilized more than 200 large and small ships, of which there are about [-] sea-going ships that can be used for combat. They are not professional warships, but they are all equipped with open-deck naval guns.

If these fifty sea-going ships were to be called armed transport ships in a more professional way, they were already [-]% of the strength of the "Navy" under Gao Yushi's command.

In particular, the highly pragmatic maritime combat force is still in its infancy. The cost of building a fleet is obviously high. The average unit price of these ships is as high as more than 5 taels (including ships, artillery, and personnel. This data refers to England at the same time) In the past few years, Gao Yushi spent an average of more than 60 taels a year on shipbuilding, and most of the money was spent on these armed transport ships.

Perhaps in the future, after the Qinzhou shipyard is completed, relying on Guangxi's timber resources, the cost of ships can be reduced.

However, the combat effectiveness of these armed transport ships is not bad, because Gao Yushi knows the correct development direction of naval naval guns. Each ship is equipped with 28 naval guns, and only two types of heavy guns are installed, and no light guns are installed.Based on his historical memory, these ships will definitely not become obsolete in at least ten years in East Asia.

In fact, to a certain extent, this fleet is much stronger than the highly pragmatic and concentrated land force. There are 180 people on each of these fifty armed transport ships, and a total of 9000 people.It's just that Gao Pragmatism does not currently have a "Marine Corps", and this fleet does not have the ability to go ashore for combat.

After all, it is in Daming, so it is not intimidating or conspicuous if there are more ships, not to mention that this is a collection of fleets from several private ports. It's scary.

My family has a large fleet, and of course there are many sailors. What's so strange about that?As for cannons, Japanese pirates are everywhere, how can I go to sea without cannons?If you do business and get slaughtered by pirates, how can you play?
It is precisely because of the strength of the sea that Gao Wushi chose to send his servants to the sea—starting from Qinzhou, going straight to the mouth of the Red River to land at the mouth of the Red River, and attacking Thang Long!

The straight-line distance of this road is more than 500 miles (I hesitated whether to use "nautical miles", but considering that the Ming Dynasty definitely did not use this...), but of course it is not a straight line, so the distance should be close to [-] miles.

But that doesn't matter, sailing by sea is always faster than taking a mountain road, and this sneak attack should be able to achieve the effect of surprise and surprise.

The navy of the Mo Dynasty was stronger than that of the Le Dynasty. Before that, they often went south to Thanh Hoa by land, and bypassed Thanh Hoa by water to attack Nhe An or even Hue.Gao Pragmatically judged that they might fight like this this time, and in that case, the sea route would be safer.
