The rise of the prince

Chapter 516 Chapter 490 six, the coming of the holy car
Wei Chaoren and Yang Wenguang guarded the east and the west across the Taihang Mountains. They guarded the border for decades and fought against the Liao people year after year.

After the introduction, he introduced to Wei Yubai and Shen Lin the people in the new army, the deputy commander of the new army Di Zhi, the artillery commander Yan Shen, and Zhao Si, the capital of the new army, who were actually in charge of equipment research and development and improvement.

Then, while walking along the river, he told everyone about the combat philosophy of the new army. Some of them have already achieved it, and some are still working hard: "The enemy is discovered first, the enemy is wiped out first, mobile operations, long-range strikes, and firepower are paramount. It is the goal that the new army will gradually achieve in the future, and it is also the tactical concept of the new army. As long as the tactics meet these principles, you can use your imagination as you like and adapt to the situation."

It is unheard of for such a strange target, Wei Yubai asked him a lot, what is the enemy discovering first, the enemy annihilating first, etc.

In fact, it is very important to find the enemy first on the battlefield, so Li Xingzhou also listed it first.

The artillery range of the Wangfu can reach more than ten miles, which is close to the visual limit, so if the enemy is discovered first, the enemy can basically be wiped out first.

But these are inseparable from optical equipment detection, high-altitude detection, etc. The easiest way to realize these is optical equipment detection.

As early as the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were glazed workshops.Moreover, according to the excavations of later generations, the craftsmanship is already very exquisite, but the problem is that the color is not pure. The reason for this is that the processing temperature cannot meet the requirements, and the raw materials have many impurities, so the glassware is not transparent enough, which is obviously not enough for optical equipment.

but!

The palace has no technology, but the palace has warmth!
The graphite crucible in the Wangfu can smelt liquid steel. It is conservatively estimated that the maximum temperature is above [-] degrees, which is enough to produce transparent glass.

It is a pity that the colored glaze production technology was introduced from the Western Regions. In Xixia, the generation of Xijing Dao in the Liao Kingdom has it, but the inheritance is very secret and strict. No matter how Li Xingzhou inquires, there is no news.

In fact, the reason is also very simple. In this era, glazed treasures are more expensive than gold.

Such a profitable top-secret technology, of course, will be passed on in secret, no matter how he asks various businessmen to inquire, there is no news about the glassware maker.

However, glazed ware can be bought in Xixia, the first generation of Xijing Dao in Liao Kingdom.

It is a pity that several of the glazed wares bought have been sent to the palace, but they have been handled several times in the middle, and it is impossible to find out who made them in the first place, so it is impossible to follow the vine to find a craftsman who knows how to make glass.

If he can find one or two, no matter how intimidating or lure he is, Li Xingzhou will win him over.

Afterwards, after discussing with everyone, he decided to let Shen Lin be in charge of the logistics of the entire army.

Because Shen Lin himself didn't have much combat experience, but he was steady, and he had commanded the Xiang army for many years, and most of his management was logistical matters.

And Wei Yubai was responsible for the overall training of [-] cavalry, including [-] plate armored heavy cavalry and [-] plate armored light cavalry.

After talking about these new military measures, Li Xingzhou confides to everyone with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to change the military system again, but given the current situation, I definitely can't move it, so as not to attract criticism.

If there is a chance in the future, I am going to let you Di Zhi, Wei Yubai, and Yan Shen each lead an army. "

Several people laughed, Wei Yubai said directly: "My lord, don't be joking, the imperial court's forbidden army only has Lingjie, Shenwu, and Wulie three armies in total, even if we add the new army now, it is only the fourth army."

"That's not what I mean." Li Xingzhou waved his hand. "I mean, each person leads three to 5000 people, but these people need a mixture of musketeers, artillery, and cavalry to be able to fight independently."

Wei Yubai was puzzled, "Why?"

Di Zhi asked, "For each of us to fight?"

"Almost, the reason is that any one can fight independently." Li Xingzhou said, to put it bluntly, it is the organizational system of a regiment in later generations.

This bold reform was first used by Napoleon. It was to distribute the army in a mixed manner, and it was no longer clear-cut. The infantry was the infantry, the cavalry was the cavalry, and the artillery was the artillery, but a mixed formation.

Take 5000 to 2 people, or [-] to [-] people as an integrated unit, integrate artillery, musketeers, and cavalry, so that each place can fight independently.

This is a big reason why Napoleon was able to sweep across Europe, because such a fighting concept is more suitable for the thermal weapon army.

At that time, other European countries still retained the previous war mentality.

The infantry, artillery, and cavalry are commanded separately. The artillery shoots the musketeers, and then the cavalry harvests the old tactic.In the face of Napoleon's army, each battle group can fight independently.

Firearms can double the lethality of each soldier, and soldiers who can fight independently will become more and more terrifying, and can continuously amplify the power of thermal weapons.

It's a pity that Li Xingzhou doesn't dare to move at present. The new army has only undergone major changes. If there is such a major change, the court and the central government will definitely oppose it.

After talking with Di Zhi, Yan Shen, Zhao Si, Wei Yubai, and Shen Lin, all the new army's upper echelons, almost all the guests began to arrive one after another.

The reason why I told them so early was to tell them the truth, for fear that they would not be mentally prepared when the new army actually began to reorganize in the future.

In the afternoon, the gate of the palace was really full of traffic. The long cars and sedans joined each other end to end, forming a long queue. Under the command of the nurse, it stopped at the gate of the palace until it reached a far corner, and then turned again and stopped towards the north.

The long line of cars and sedan chairs stretched for several miles, and such a big scene attracted crowds of onlookers. Later officials could only get out of the sedan chairs a few miles away and walked all the way.

The servants and nurses in the palace also hurriedly dispatched to pick him up from a distance.

The palace is very lively and full of visitors.

Yan Kun, who was in charge of receiving gifts at the door, said his mouth was dry, and Ji Chunsheng, who was in charge of welcoming and relocating people in the courtyard, was also dizzy. Qi Fang ordered the maids to serve tea and snacks for a while, and Yue'er was also helping.

As for Shiyu, she took care of the overall situation in the back hall, and asked her about any problems in the entire palace, while Li Xingzhou waited in the inner hall and was responsible for personally receiving some distinguished guests.

Only senior officials of the third rank and above of the imperial court have to enter the inner hall, such as Degong, He Zhao, Tang Zhouwei, Xue Fang, Lu Jie, Chen Yu, etc. Gradually, more and more guests are coming, and some places become crowded when walking .

It is also inevitable that there will be collisions, and the busy servants or maids will collide with others.

But the people who come here know what kind of person King Pingnan is. He came out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. In the past, the capital was greatly harmed, and people like the devil king of the world did not dare to act intimidating in his house, and the servants bowed their heads. Apologize, just smile and pass.

When the crowd was bustling and bustling, Yan Shen blushed and rushed through the crowd to the main hall. When he saw the crowd kneel down on one knee, he said excitedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here! Your Majesty is here!"

Everyone froze for a moment.

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and pick you up with your colleagues!" De Gong quickly reminded.
