Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 383
The first update arrives!I cried: "Without a monthly pass, I can't move anymore!"

Every scientific and technological progress of human beings is related to war, but the most advanced technology is often first applied to the military field. It can be said objectively: war is the driving force behind technological progress. It is hard to imagine an emperor behind closed doors. China's country can make great progress in science and technology, which has been proved by history, and there is not much to say in the first place.Enemies or imaginary enemies can often stimulate the centripetal force and cohesion of a nation. Defeating the enemy is the driving force for stimulating the whole nation to move forward, as well as the driving force for the development of science and technology. In this regard, Yinzuo needs an external enemy——Russia , this not too powerful polar bear is a good target.

Yinzuo actually doesn't know much about Peter the Great. He only read some information from the Internet in his previous life. He knew that this person had always had a bad temper, had no taboos in his actions, and was even self-willed. However, he had an extremely strong personality and never Admit defeat, this can be seen from the more than ten years of war between Peter the Great and Sweden and Turkey.Yinzuo didn't expect that the diplomatic note he sent would stop Peter the Great from marching eastward. In fact, the issuance of this note would further stimulate Peter the Great's determination to march eastward.

As the saying goes: look at his servants and know his master, you can see a trace of Peter the Great from the front commander of the Russian army Serev - the reason why Serev detained the envoys of the Qing Dynasty and made Jin Xi return to China to submit his credentials , In fact, it is not a kind of arrogance. The purpose of this is to prevent the envoys of the Qing Dynasty from sending back the actual situation of the Russian army, and at the same time, let Jin like to go back to China to explain the true strength of the Qing Dynasty to Peter the Great. After all, Jin I like to stay in the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, and I know the reality of the Qing Dynasty best, don't I?In Serev's eyes, the Qing Dynasty was nothing more than a paper tiger. There were so many troops in the sky, but they were actually just aboriginals carrying swords and spears, which was not worth mentioning at all.If Peter the Great knew the "true situation" of the Qing Dynasty, what decision would he make?Obviously, it is the most likely decision of Peter the Great to increase troops to attack, simply defeat the Qing Dynasty together, cut out a large piece of meat from the Qing Dynasty, or even turn the Qing Dynasty into a Russian meal.

This war is obviously inevitable, but how to fight and to what extent are very particular.Nowadays, the combat effectiveness of the Russian army Yinzuo can only get a rough idea from the information sent by "Honghu" desperately, and he is still far away from knowing the enemy, but Yinzuo knows the strength of the Zhungeer cavalry, and he can do it with his heart. In theory, the cavalry of the Zhungeer Department is not inferior to the Eight Banners Cavalry Battalion, and may even be slightly superior. In the era of cold weapons, it is definitely a strong army, but such a strong army has more than [-] cavalry. Attacking [-] Russian soldiers but only launched a charge before completely collapsing. Only more than [-] Russian soldiers were killed at the cost of more than [-] casualties. Such a defeat is not without tragedy.

The reason why the Zhungeer cavalry lost so badly was that apart from the sharpness of the Russian weapons, the more important thing was that the strategy and tactics of the Zhungeer cavalry were wrong—the cavalry did not take advantage of the maneuverability of the cavalry at all. It is no wonder that it is undefeated to attack the powerful fire blockade of the Russian army.Yin Zuo thought to himself that if he were to command the Zhungeer cavalry to fight, it might be impossible to wipe out the Russian army, but it is not impossible to repel the Russian army. He only needs to set up an ambush carefully and give full play to the impact of the cavalry to attack The marching Russian army made it impossible to form a fire blockade. In this way, we can maximize our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and a great victory can be expected.Of course, Yinzuo can only imagine now - according to the news sent back by "Honghu", the Russian army has begun to build a castle in the Brentuo Sea, and the cavalry, mainly with swords and spears, will attack the powerful To set up a fortress, except for a bloody encounter, it is impossible to gain any gains at all. This can be seen from the first battle of Yaksa in the 25th year of Kangxi: the 5000 troops of the Qing army besieged only six or seven Yaksa Castle, stationed by the Hundred Russian Army, was unable to attack for a long time but suffered heavy casualties.

The age of firearms has replaced the era of cold weapons. Under such a background, only firearms troops can deal with firearms troops. Although the Qing Dynasty currently claims to have millions of troops, except for cavalry, only Yin The firearms camp with a pitifully small number of people in Zuo's hands, so the expansion of the firearms camp is imminent.People, there are plenty of people, not to mention that among the 8000 million registered population of the Qing Dynasty, there are at least tens of millions of people suitable for serving as soldiers. Counting the existing soldiers in various places; the production of guns and ammunition is not a big problem. Since Yinzuo came to power, the Tianjin Gun Bureau has been producing at full capacity, and has expanded several times before and after. The existing inventory of guns, ammunition It is easy to form an army of ten thousand people; the reorganization of the army is a bit of a headache, but it is not too difficult, as long as a thousand courtiers are settled, and the firearms battalion is expanded on the basis of a firearms army of more than ten thousand people. It is also very easy, of course, the premise is that there is plenty of time.

Time, yes, time is the key, no one can say whether Lao Maozi will allow enough time for Yinzuo.Judging from the situation sent back by "Honghu", the Russian army has already stationed. It stands to reason that they should not advance again before waiting for the order of Peter the Great. Of course, this is just Yin Zuo's guess. Even if Tuohai traveled all night to Moscow, it would take about two months for Jin Xixi to return to Moscow. Including the time for reporting and the time for Peter the Great to make up his mind, it would take at least two and a half months. If Peter the Great did not plan to increase troops, the Russian army on the front line would not be able to get the order of Peter the Great until the beginning of September at the earliest. If there were more troops, plus the time required for the march, winter would come, and the Russian army might not brave the severe cold. Attack, in this way, this battle may be delayed until the beginning of next spring.But no matter whether Russia increases its troops or not, there is not much time left for Yinzuo - it is not a child's play for the army to go to war. Even if the war starts next spring, the army must be mobilized within the year. In this way, it will be left for Yinzuo to train The new army has very little time. How to expand the number of firearms troops as much as possible and ensure the loyalty of the army while ensuring combat effectiveness is a big problem.

The battle must be fought, and it must be won. Whoever leads the army becomes the key. To be honest, Yinzuo doesn't trust others to lead the army. This is a war that concerns the fate of the country. Yinzuo can't afford to lose. If it is right, it is not only a matter of losing a large piece of land, but it is more likely that a group of brothers took advantage of the situation and pushed Yinzuo down from the throne of the emperor.Although Wang Changtai and others have been training for more than a year, they are all rookie soldiers who have not experienced the baptism of modern wars. Although Yinzuo himself is only a theoretical expert, he knows more and sees farther. Yinzuo himself is the most suitable candidate, but the problem is that Yinzuo has just ascended to the throne of God. Although his buttocks are a little more stable, a bunch of brothers are not convinced. What kind of demon moth is coming out.

It is difficult to recruit personally, and it is also difficult not to recruit personally.Tricky, things are tricky!Before the arrival of all the ministers of military aircraft, Yin Zuo thought about the whole thing thoroughly by himself, feeling a little uneasy, but no matter how difficult it is, he has to move forward, doesn't he?The preparations that should be made are naturally indispensable.

"Your servants will kowtow to the Holy Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The arrival of Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu and other military ministers awakened Yinzuo from his contemplation.

"Excuse me, all my lovers, please get up. I'm calling you here today. I have something to tell you." Yinzuo waved his hand, signaling that the ministers don't need to be polite, and said after a pause: " The envoys I sent to negotiate with the Russian state have been detained, and here I have information sent back by the envoys desperately, and I want to hear the opinions of all the ministers."

A thousand ministers of military aircraft were dumbfounded when they heard that the envoys had been detained. This minister of military aircraft has always thought that the Qing Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven, and sending envoys was to save face for other barbarian countries. This matter of envoys being detained It really made all the ministers of military aircraft a little surprised.

"My lord, could this be a misunderstanding?" Shi Shilun is the new Minister of the Upper Study, and his temper is not as calm as other ministers. Seeing that the big guys were silent, he asked first.

"Misunderstanding? Hmph, I hope it's a misunderstanding." Yinzuo snorted coldly, picked up the white silk stained with black blood from the dragon table and said, "Lihe, you have been with me for many years. You understand the code words, so you can read them to the big guys."

Since Lin Xuanyi hit Tanhua, he was immediately summoned by Yinzuo to the Military Aircraft Department, but his original temperament of talking and laughing was gone. Instead, he was extremely cautious. He was very disappointed, but he could understand his feelings—Lin Xuanyi was afraid that something would go wrong, and someone would get his pigtails pulled, and he would become a target for others to attack Yin Zuo.Hearing Yinzuo's words at this time, Lin Xuanyi hurriedly walked a few steps, bowed and took Bai Juan from Yinzuo's hands with both hands, glanced at it, and read: "Mr. The mission was sent out by the Holy Order and did not dare to slack off. It arrived at Brentuo Sea on March 230, the second year of Yuanzhuo, and confronted the Russian commander, General Serev, and ordered him to withdraw and truce. However, the country impolitely detained our delegation ...It has been found out that the department has forty artillery pieces, with a caliber of ten inches, and a range of about [-] feet. Three thousand infantrymen, armed with arquebus, have sufficient ammunition, and three thousand cavalrymen. A handgun..." As Lin Xuanyi read the content on the white silk incessantly, the dark clouds on the faces of a group of military ministers gradually thickened, but they all listened quietly, and no one spoke.

"Ma Qi, if I remember correctly, you have already been an official in the court during the battle of Yaksa, you should be familiar with the old man who violated my frontier?" The big guy didn't speak, Yinzuo began to roll the roll.

"If you go back to the emperor, I am the governor of Shuntian Prefecture in the 24th year of Kangxi. I still remember that the former emperor sent an army of [-] troops to suppress Yaksa, and the long-term battle cannot be completed." Ma Qi is a veteran minister, and the military planes present Among the ministers, only Li Guangdi was more qualified than him and had a good memory, so he told all the events of the year in one breath.

"Well, yes, I also know that there were only about six hundred old men in Yaksa Castle back then. Hehe, five thousand troops have been besieging it for more than four months and have not captured it. Am I right?" Yinzuo sneered.

Ma Qi glanced at Yin Zuo's face, paused and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this is all true."

"That's right." Yin Zuo nodded and said: "Now the old man is here again. Five thousand troops defeated Zhungeer's fifteen thousand cavalry in Brentuohai, killing and wounding more than five thousand people. Only more than a hundred people were killed or injured, and this time a castle was built in Brentuohai, hey, how can I allow others to snore like thunder beside my bed, what do you think?"

how?Yinzuo's own meaning is so obvious, what else can the big guy do?Isn't it just a word of war?A group of ministers didn't have the guts to say no even if they didn't want to fight.Zhang Tingyu pondered for a while and said: "I want to report to the Holy Majesty, I think that although war is inevitable, how to fight has to be planned in advance. Last year I had a poor harvest in the Qing Dynasty. When the green and the yellow are not connected, even if you want to fight, you can't get it, so it's better to draw it slowly."

Slowly figure it out?Hey, let's think about it, just in case that kid Peter disagrees.Yin Zuo nodded his head and said: "The words of Hengchen are words of seeking the country. I will not send troops immediately. I am not arrogant enough to fight head-on with the Russian army with swords and spears. Well, all my loves follow I went to spring hunting together, so I should know the power of the Firearms Battalion, and I don’t want to talk about it, I plan to expand the Firearms Battalion into an army of [-] people to prepare for the need in times of war, what do you think?"

"I think it's feasible." Ma Qi already knew that Yinzuo's idea had been made, calling the big guy was just a formality, and let the big guy persuade the gang of courtiers by the way, and he didn't want to conflict with Yinzuo on this matter , rolled his eyes, and answered first.

"Ministers, wait for a second opinion." All the ministers of military aircraft were Yin Zuo's confidantes. Seeing that the chief minister of military aircraft, Ma Qi, didn't object, they could only go along with it.

"Well, that's good. Shi Aiqing is in charge of the Ministry of Households, and you will be in charge of the allocation of food and grass; Hengchen, I have given you an order to urge the Ministry of Industry to step up the production of firearms. Well, the matter of Qianfa will be put in the first place for now. Let's stop, let's wait until this battle is over; Wei Rao (Li Zhenyu's character), pass on my will, and the Ministry of Rites will immediately arrange the inauguration ceremony of the hero monument. In Qingming, I will personally pay homage to the fallen soldiers; You need to worry more about the matter, but all the transfer letters reported by the firearms camp will be approved immediately without delay. Li He and Mr. Fang stay here, and all the officials and workers should go their own way first." Yin Zuo quickly issued a series of orders, and everyone The ministers and workers each took their orders and retreated.

"Li He, I've said it many times. You don't need to be so careful in front of me. If I want to use you, you won't be afraid of others' criticism." Yin Zuo glanced at Lin Xuanyi who was standing beside him, frowned.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lin Xuanyi replied respectfully.

Oh, boring!Lao Lin really went back more and more!Yinzuo was quite dissatisfied, but he didn't want to blame Lin Xuanyi too much, so he changed the subject and said, "Mr. Fang, Lihe, I kept you here to tell you one thing - I plan to personally conscript this time, um, It is expected that the army will rise in the spring of next year. This battle is not easy to defeat. I have the confidence to win the battle. However, I am a little worried about the capital. How should I deal with it? Please tell me clearly. I am listening. "

Lin Xuanyi has followed Yinzuo for many years, and he knew Yinzuo's personality long ago. Since he decided to conscript himself, it was a foregone conclusion. Lin Xuanyi would not say anything more about it, but Fang Linggao was different. He followed Yinzuo for a long time. Long, but he has a strong grasp of the court situation. When he heard Yinzuo's words, he immediately advised him: "Your Majesty, swords and soldiers are dangerous, so I dare not approve of His Majesty's personal conquest. Besides, the capital cannot do without His Majesty sitting in command." .”

"I know, but this battle is of great importance, and I won't allow any mistakes, Jingzhong? Hey, once I go out to fight, my good brothers should be alive again, and I want to take this opportunity to take them all down. It will also save troubles in the future, what should be done, you can come up with a good idea, I don't want the scene of Suo'etu to happen again." Yin Zuo said through gritted teeth.

At the beginning, Suo'etu rebelled against the army in Beijing, which caused the third conquest of Galdan by Mr. Kangxi to fall by the wayside. Such a big trouble for Butan, after all, it can't be considered as a full success.Both Fang and Lin knew this well, and when they heard Yin Zuo bring up the matter, the meaning in the words was that they planned to deliberately expose a loophole for those men to take advantage of the opportunity to catch them all. Some guesses.It's a big deal, Fang and Lin didn't dare to say anything casually, each buried their heads in deep thought, and the atmosphere in the Yanbo Zhishuang Pavilion suddenly became a little depressed.

"Forget it, this matter is not in a hurry, you should bury this matter in your heart first, if you have something to gain, discuss it later, I am a little tired, let's all go down first." Looking at the two The counselor didn't say a word for a long time, and Yin Zuo also knew that this matter was really not easy, so he stopped embarrassing the two of them, and said something lightly, planning to find a time for Wu Sidao to join in, so as to have a good discussion.
