I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 130 The true intention of the Japanese pirates!The artifact is born!

Zhu Yunxi looked at the place she was pointing at and asked, "Why?"

The little girl raised her eyebrows and said: "The troops who captured Songjiang Mansion include Japanese pirates, Zhang Shicheng's old troops, private salt dealers and other rebels, as well as secret funding from wealthy merchants."

"Among them, the Japanese pirates are the most vicious, and they are not afraid of death."

"As for the other men and horses, they are nothing more than a group of mobs, taking advantage of the power of Japanese pirates, and pretending to be pretentious."

"The advantage of Japanese pirates is that they come and go in the near sea, and the government cannot guard against them."

"Once ashore, we can only fight quickly, use harassment tactics to move around, burn, kill and loot for supplies, and evacuate immediately before the imperial army has time to close up."

"If they are surrounded by a large army, no matter how fierce the Japanese pirates are, they will still die."

As she spoke, she pointed at the map and said, "To attack Suzhou is to go deep into the interior. Although the Taicang line is still along the water, it is too deep."

"The Japanese pirates don't want to attack Yingtian, do they?"

"That doesn't even require the Gyeonggi army to be dispatched. Just the troops stationed along the Yangtze River, Zhenjiang, and Yangzhou are enough to defeat it."

"We really want to attack Suzhou, not to mention whether we can win it. Even if we do, the only place we can go next is to turn south, attack Jiaxing, and then go to Hangzhou."

"Instead, precious time is wasted."

"Japanese pirates are not fools. They don't know that a large army has gathered near Yingtian Mansion. If they attack with force, they will die."

"On the other hand, if we go directly south to attack Jiaxing Mansion and then attack Hangzhou, it will be different."

"Jiaxing is rich and rich, not much inferior to Suzhou, and there are many gold and silver treasures that can be plundered."

"Hangzhou is not to mention."

"The most important thing is that the Japanese pirates can attack along the coastline, and if they find something wrong, they can also escape immediately. If you advance, you can attack, and if you retreat, you can escape. This is the essence of Japanese pirates."

"And Shaoxing and Ningbo in the south are not like the vicinity of the capital, where so many troops are stationed."

"Faced with the large-scale attacks by Japanese pirates and rebels, they were unable to protect themselves, let alone support Jiaxing and Hangzhou."

"Now the Japanese pirates and rebels are making a big show of attacking Suzhou. In my opinion, it's just a trick to attack the west. Their real intention must be Jiaxing."

After the little girl finished her analysis, she looked at Zhu Yunzhen who was standing aside.

Zhu Yunxi's complexion slowly sank.

Xu Miaojin is right.

Whether it was him or Lan Yu, after receiving the military report that the Japanese pirates had captured Songjiang Mansion, they subconsciously thought of preserving Suzhou.

Not only because Suzhou is an important economic center in the south of the Yangtze River, but another crucial reason is that Suzhou is closer to Yingtianfu.

To conquer Suzhou, one only needs to cross the Changzhou and Zhenjiang mansions, and you will arrive at Yingtian.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty naturally could not be attacked by Japanese pirates.

But they never thought that maybe Zhang Shicheng's old group would have the idea of ​​attacking Yingtian. The Japanese pirates might never have thought about it.

They're just here to kill people and steal money.

Fight to the death with the Ming court?
Japanese pirates are obviously not that stupid.

Without the support of Japanese pirates, other mobs, even if they are large in number, will not be able to make a difference.

Don't look at their arrogance now, they are arrogant.

If they really wanted to fight against the elite army of Ming Dynasty, they would definitely not have the power to fight.

Besides, what is their purpose?

Now that the world has been settled, it is obviously unrealistic for them to want to overthrow the Ming court.

The biggest possibility is to force the court to make some changes.

For example, readjust the business tax increase.

After thinking about this, it is easy to understand their next intention.

What's more, the Jiaxing and Hangzhou coastal lines are much more convenient to advance and retreat than those along the Yangtze River.

Lan Yu may have thought of it, but he didn't dare to say it.

The responsibility of guarding Suzhou is even greater.

As for Jiaxing and Hangzhou, even if there is a loss, it is a temporary matter. Once the imperial army arrives, it can be taken back soon.

However, the local people will suffer.

"In your opinion, should we form an army?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

The little girl was quite knowledgeable in this area, and he did not hesitate to ask for advice humbly.

"Hee hee, I didn't expect you to ask me for advice."

The little girl blinked mischievously, with a bit of complacency in the joke, but then she said: "Actually, I'm just talking on paper, I just want to analyze it for you, right or wrong, how to deal with it, I still have to make up my mind, I'm a little girl, but I can't bear such a big responsibility."

"You're still much smarter than me, I'm just giving you an opinion."

The little girl is becoming more and more modest, except for being naughty once in a while.

Zhu Yunxi laughed and said: "Just say what you want, it's up to me whether you listen or not in the end. Besides, there's Grandpa Huang."

Lao Zhu started with a bowl, and he was able to win the entire Daming country.

What are mere Japanese pirates?

He can see their scheme clearly, but can't Lao Zhu?

Pointing at the map, Xu Miaojin said: "It's very simple. If the imperial court wants to destroy them, they should send troops from Suzhou. As for Jiaxing, they can send troops from Huzhou Prefecture to assist in the defense. As long as they can block a wave of offensives, once the imperial court's army arrives, they can only do so." escape."

She paused, and then said: "In addition, Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Hangzhou must strengthen their defenses and deploy troops to guard against them. Be careful of Japanese pirates landing on the beach and attacking them suddenly. They will be caught off guard."

Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly.

There were a lot of things that were not thought through just now.

I always felt that something was wrong, but at this moment when Xu Miaojin said it, I suddenly realized it.

It cannot be said that there is much problem with the arrangement of Sapphire.

However, Lan Yu is still used to thinking according to the thinking of the previous battle with Bei Yuan.

But Japanese pirates are different.

The Japanese pirates are not the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but rogue bandits.

Taking advantage of the maneuverability at sea, attacking suddenly, and running after grabbing, is what they are best at doing.

Even taking down the Songjiang Mansion may have been an accident caused by several forces.

I'm afraid they didn't even think that the Songjiang Mansion was captured so easily.

However, although he has analyzed the other party's intentions, what he can actually do is very limited.

Jiaxing is hundreds of miles away.

Far water cannot save near fire.

It can only make the local garrison strictly guard against death, strengthen their vigilance, and then deploy some troops nearby to support them.

Whether it works or not, it’s still a matter of days.

Zhu Yunxi sighed inwardly, looked at the box that Xu Miaojin carried in just now, and suddenly asked curiously: "Has the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau made any new treasures recently?"

He had previously proposed many research and manufacturing ideas and threw them to the group of craftsmen, hoping to inspire them.

"A new baby indeed."

Xu Miaojin opened the box and said: "This is the breech-loading gun you asked the craftsmen to make, and it also has fixed bullets."

A breech-loading gun with custom-loaded ammunition, could it be built so quickly?
This is an artifact that is truly hundreds of years ahead of the times.

Zhu Yunxi was overjoyed.

Then, a brand new gun appeared in his eyes.

"I have tried this gun. It is easy to operate, fast and convenient, with a fast rate of fire and great power. It is truly a magic weapon."

Xu Miaojin praised: "I don't know how you came up with it. It's incredible."

"The first batch of breech-loading guns produced [-] pieces, and another [-] rounds of ammunition."

"I have asked the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau to make this gun and bullets with all my strength."

Zhu Yunxi first picked up the bullet and looked at it. The material is iron, which is the same as the arrowhead at this time.

The bullets are very large, much larger than the general rifle bullets of later generations.

After all, it is a bullet made of black powder, so it is difficult to reduce its size.

But being big also has big benefits.

The bigger the bullet, the higher the quality and the more amazing the power.

Immediately, he picked up the gun without hesitation, walked outside the main hall, asked someone to bring a target, and immediately began to test the gun.

boom!
boom!
……

There was a deafening gunshot, and the bullets whizzed out, hit the target, passed straight through, and penetrated several inches deep into the wooden board behind.

After all, he was only seven years old. After pulling the trigger, the strong rebound force not only made his shoulders sore, but also almost caused him to fall to the ground.

But Zhu Yunxuan didn't care about this, and instead laughed.
