Rebirth of the deer dragon, the leader of the dragon

Chapter 587 50 Musketeers
After Hong Tianxiao ascended the throne, the second thing he did was to bring all the family members of the Shenlong Cult left behind on Shenlong Island to Beijing. Then, Hong Tianxiao increased investment, making the entire Shenlong Island his gun research base.Hong Tianxiao selected another group of outstanding people to learn the art of making muskets from those foreigners.In addition, Hong Tianxiao also selected [-] talented young people from all over the country, and sent them to overseas countries to learn the science and technology of each country.

Three months later, Hong Tianxiao sent another 3000 people overseas.Of course, Hong Tianxiao asked these people to go overseas not only to learn advanced foreign technology, after all, stones from other mountains can be used to make jade, the most important thing is that Hong Tianxiao wants these people to bring back advanced foreign ideas, thinking that he will implement it in the future Government prepares.

In the construction and management of the army, Hong Tianxiao divided the army into the army and the navy. At present, the aircraft has not yet appeared, so the air force is temporarily vacant.The army commander is Zhao Liangdong, the deputy commanders are Sun Sike and Wang Jinbao, the navy commander is Shi Lang, and the deputy commanders are Chen Fu and Yu Chenglong.Originally, Hong Tianxiao was going to reuse Chen Jinnan, but what he never expected was that when he was fighting the Qing army with all his strength, Chen Jinnan was tricked by Zheng Keshuang to Taiwan and secretly killed him.Hong Tianxiao was naturally furious, so he sent Hu Yunzhi and Zhong Zhijie to Taiwan to get rid of Zheng Keshuang under the pretext of giving away the antidote for the life and death talisman. Since then, the Zheng family in Taiwan has completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

The improvement of muskets and waterproof ammunition have been successfully developed, and Hong Tianxiao has secretly put them into mass production. Therefore, in terms of the number of troops, Hong Tianxiao does not pursue large numbers, but pursues precision.After the establishment of Dashun, Hong Tianxiao had a full 120 million troops, Hong Tianxiao only kept 100 million and sent the remaining 20 back home.If you only defend the homeland, 100 million is actually too much, and 30 is enough. After all, in the era of muskets, advanced weapons are far better than human sea tactics. As long as you have the most advanced technology, you can be invincible Well, the reason why he wanted to keep a million soldiers was naturally for Hong Tianxiao's expansion plan.

To practice shooting, every soldier must become a sharpshooter, starting with me, this is Hong Tianxiao's first military order to the Dashun army.Of course, this military order cannot be fully implemented. First, there are not enough guns. Among the millions of troops, only 10 can be equipped with muskets. Secondly, there is not enough ammunition. The production line has just been expanded, and the ammunition produced It is enough for millions of troops to practice marksmanship together.

Although there are only 10 people, in this era, the 10 Musketeers are already quite powerful, and it is absolutely not a problem to sweep a country.

The news of Dashun soon spread to all the surrounding countries, and the heads of state of these countries began to look at Dashun with new eyes, especially the Raksha Kingdom.A month ago, Zhao Liangdong led 3000 cavalrymen to dig the water to divert the river, flooding the [-] musketeers of the Raksha Kingdom. Not only did they capture [-] musketeers, but only one person was left to report the news, making the Raksha Kingdom afraid to go south for the time being. .

All of a sudden, many countries around Dashun began to submit their credentials to Dashun. Except for the Raksha Kingdom, all the countries around Dashun formally established diplomatic relations with Dashun, which also meant that these countries recognized the existence of Dashun.Hong Tianxiao knew that his [-] Musketeers played a certain deterrent effect, so he accepted the credentials of these countries one by one.Hong Tianxiao's eyes were on Europe and the Americas. Regarding these countries in Asia, he was not ready to invade for the time being. First, take down the Raksha country and Europe.

Originally, Dashun had just experienced a war, and its national power was empty. Hong Tianxiao increased the production of muskets and ammunition, which cost a lot of money. However, there was a treasure hidden by Li Zicheng before his defeat. Treasures hidden in Kanto have allowed these productions to continue.However, the good thing is that Hong Tianxiao's war against the Qing Dynasty and the Han Dynasty lasted very short, and it was completely over in just half a year, so that the losses caused by the war were very small. In addition, Hong Tianxiao's army was smaller than the army of the Manchu Qing government before. Nearly half, so only three months after the founding of Dashun, the national economy once again returned to the pre-war situation.

Half a year later, 50 soldiers in Hong Tianxiao's million-strong army were equipped with muskets. This figure was enough to shock all the surrounding countries, including the Raksha Kingdom.You must know that at this time, muskets have just come out not long ago, and the production volume of each country is extremely small. It is considered extreme to be able to produce a musket team of 3 people. Even a big country like the Raksha Kingdom only has [-] people. The Musketeers, so after losing three thousand at once, the Raksha Kingdom no longer dared to easily use troops against Dashun.

With these 50 Musketeers, Hong Tianxiao's heart began to stir. He was going to show the might of the Dashun Empire, so he set his target on Japan first.At this time, the news that Hong Tianxiao sent troops to Japan happened to come. Japan suddenly used troops against North Korea, and it only took three months to hit the capital of North Korea, Pyongyang. The King of North Korea sent someone to ask for help from Dashun.

After receiving the distress letter from the king of North Korea, Hong Tianxiao was overjoyed, and promptly summoned Zhang Ruqing, Zhao Liangdong, Sun Sike, Wang Jinbao, Shi Lang, Chen Fu and Yu Chenglong to discuss sending troops.

Zhao Liangdong was the commander of the army, and he was the first to say: "Your Majesty, right now our soldiers in Dashun are well-stocked and their marksmanship has already been perfected, so there is only a lack of field practice in musket combat. This time sending troops to North Korea is just one This is a great opportunity for military training, I invite you to fight."

After Zhao Liangdong finished speaking, Shi Lang was the second to get up and said, "Your Majesty, we now have more than two thousand naval warships, each of which can transport more than two thousand soldiers, and the small red-clothed cannons are installed on the battleships. In fact, the attack range of the cannonball can be fifty feet, and its power is extremely extraordinary, so I invite you to fight." It was Hong Tianxiao's idea to produce a red-clothed cannon that was one size smaller and install it on a naval battleship. As a result, the power of the battleship has increased several times, and it has the ability to bomb the opponent's warship from a long distance, but it is the price of losing speed and flexibility.Once fighting at sea, these warships equipped with red cannons must stay away from enemy warships, or be protected by their own battleship regiments.At present, Hong Tianxiao has gathered a large number of talents, ready to overcome this problem, so that the battleship equipped with red cannons will no longer be affected by speed and flexibility, but it has not been overcome yet.

Hong Tianxiao saw that both Zhao Liangdong and Shi Lang took the initiative to ask for a fight, he was very happy, and he said cheerfully: "Okay, it's rare for the two commanders to be so passionate. I am very pleased. North Korea used to be a vassal state of the Manchu Qing, and now the Manchu Qing has stepped down. Shun Jianguo, North Korea is naturally a vassal state of Dashun, since the vassal state is in trouble, and also sent a letter for help, it is necessary to send troops, but how many troops should be sent and how to fight, I ask you to make more plans."

Seeing that everyone was about to stand up and speak, Zhang Ruqing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I thought it would be better for the generals to write down these two questions, and then the Emperor will review them one by one. Maybe the generals have a plan of battle." It’s not all the same.”

Hearing this, Hong Tianxiao knew that Zhang Ruqing was deliberately trying to see the generals' abilities, so he nodded and said: "Prime Minister Zhang is right, come here, and I will serve you with pen and ink."

After a while, the six people wrote their answers on a piece of white paper. Su Lina and Su Mina collected all the six pieces of white paper and put them on Hong Tianxiao's imperial table.Hong Tianxiao didn't like being served by eunuchs, so after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it was not the eunuchs who served him, but Su Lina, Su Mina, Han Xue, and Han Shuang followed Hong Tianxiao all day long.

Hong Tianxiao unfolded the six pieces of white paper, glanced at them, and immediately showed a smile on his face. It turned out that the battle plans of the six people were all four words "surround Wei and save Zhao", but there were some differences in the number of troops sent. Zhao Liangdong wrote 6 Ten thousand people, Wang Jinbao, Sun Sike, Chen Fu, and Yu Chenglong wrote 8 people, and only Shi Lang wrote 10 people.

Although the number of troops sent is different, it does not mean that there are differences in the command of the six troops or in combat capabilities, but the situation is different.Zhao Liangdong made his mark in the anti-Qing war, and even led [-] cavalry to wipe out the [-] musketeers of the Raksha Kingdom with a miraculous plan. He was in full swing, and he was the commander-in-chief, so the number written was the least.Although Wang Jinbao, Sun Sike, Chen Fu, and Yu Chenglong were also famous generals in the early Qing Dynasty, after all, they came from the surrender of the Manchu Qing court, and they lost to Zhao Liangdong in terms of momentum, so they had [-] more than Zhao Liangdong.Shi Lang is the last of the three tigers in Taiwan, and he is best at sea battles, but he is not very proficient in land battles. In addition, he is cautious, so he has written the most.

After Hong Tianxiao finished reading, he handed the six pieces of paper to Su Lina beside him, and said with a smile, "Lina, send these six pieces of paper to Prime Minister Zhang."

Zhang Ruqing took the six blank papers from Su Lina's hand, just swept them lightly with his wonderful eyes, then handed the blank papers to Su Lina's hand again, and said to Hong Tianxiao with a smile: "Please ask the emperor to judge." I want to lead the army to fight, but after all, I can't all go, and some people need to stay at home.

During the anti-Qing war, Zhang Ruqing was Hong Tianxiao's senior counselor, and he often participated in the decision-making of military operations. However, Zhang Ruqing's current status is the prime minister, whose responsibility is to take charge of the administration of the country, but he cannot interfere in military affairs. Therefore, although Zhang Ruqing has made up his mind However, Hong Tianxiao had no choice but to personally appoint the leading general to aid Korea and fight against Japan.Of course Hong Tianxiao understood this, so he nodded and said: "All the generals want to go to Japan and make contributions to Dashun. This is commendable, but for a small Japan, you don't need all the generals to go together. Once I led the army to go to war, I decided to go on a personal expedition. With Zhao Liangdong as the commander and Chen Fu as the assistant, I led an army of 20 Musketeers. In this battle, Japan must be wiped out. No males will be left, and only females under the age of 30 will be retained. "

As soon as Hong Tianxiao's words came out, everyone was taken aback, and everyone felt extremely strange.First of all, it was Shi Lang who wrote the most just now, and it was only a 20 army, but Hong Tianxiao wanted to send 20 troops to the expedition, and he even wanted to go to the army himself. It is not difficult to destroy the Raksha country, let alone a small Japan.Secondly, there is the plan to exterminate the country. Although Japan is small, it has a population of more than 1000 million. If, as Hong Tianxiao said, more than 800 million Japanese will be killed in this battle, it can be described as a tragic massacre. It also includes children who are waiting for milk.

Everyone's expressions were in Hong Tianxiao's eyes. Hong Tianxiao knew that they were full of doubts. If he didn't speak clearly today, he might be very depressed in this battle, so he smiled slightly and said, "You guys think that sending 20 The Thousand Musketeers made a big fuss, right?"

Zhang Ruqing guessed Hong Tianxiao's intentions, and lightly opened her cherry lips and said, "Your Majesty, although our Musketeer Army has 50 people, after all, it is only for training and has never participated in a real war with muskets. The Emperor sent 20 troops. Let the 20 troops all have such a chance to practice, but the emperor wants to personally conquer, so I can't figure it out."
