A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The king of the country was defeated, and the king of the country was defeated.

While sending troops to take over the entire Korean Peninsula, Lu Cheng immediately sent someone to send a message to the capital, asking the intelligence personnel stationed near the capital to suggest Lu Wenzhao to give Wei Zhongxian a big gift.

Now Wei Zhongxian is at the peak of his career. Lu Cheng has won such a big victory this time, and he must maximize the benefits, even if it costs some money.

In the past few years, Lu Cheng has also asked people to secretly send money to Wei Zhongxian to prevent the old man from saying bad things about him in front of Emperor Tianqi.

It goes without saying that Zhu Youxiao trusted Wei Zhongxian. A word from Wei Zhongxian can make the victory that the frontline soldiers fought hard for become a matter of course, and can also make some insignificant small contributions benefit the country and the people.

For Lu Cheng, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem, since he is not short of money anyway. He must not cause unnecessary troubles because of some trivial matters.

Moreover, no matter how much money he sends to Wei Zhongxian now, he can get it back double or even ten or a hundred times in the future. Just think of it as an irregular financial deposit with Wei Zhongxian.

On the other hand, while reporting the victory to the court, Sun Chengzong also summoned the generals of Liaodong to discuss whether he could take this opportunity to recapture Fushun or Tieling.

While Lu Cheng sent people to temporarily handle various affairs of Korea, he personally rushed back to Liaoyang to participate in the discussion.

When Lu Cheng arrived in Liaoyang and saw Sun Chengzong and the generals of Liaodong, everyone looked at Lu Cheng with a little different look.

Sun Chengzong's eyes were naturally full of appreciation and relief. He Shixian, You Shigong and other generals who had a good relationship with Lu Cheng were also happy for Lu Cheng.

As for those generals who did not have much contact with Lu Cheng, their eyes were different. Some were envious and some were jealous.

After all, this was killing Nurhaci, a huge achievement, an unprecedented victory, the court will definitely reward him heavily, any less reward would be unacceptable.

"General Lu, congratulations."

"Congratulations General Lu, for killing Nurhaci in one battle."

"Congratulations General Lu, it's just a pity that he didn't get Nurhaci's head."

Even Sun Chengzong praised with a smile on his face: "General Lu's eradication of Nurhaci is the greatest victory of the Ming Dynasty against the Later Jin Dynasty. I have already reported to His Majesty, and he will definitely reward General Lu heavily."

"Thank you, sir. I can achieve today's achievement entirely thanks to your command. It also depends on the generals who deployed defenses in Liaodong and delayed the large army of Jiannu..."

After Lu Cheng said this, the generals around him also became happy.

Especially He Shixian and You Shigong. Although these two generals did not directly participate in the war, they also sent troops to Zhenjiang Fort and defended Liaodong, and they could also get some credit.

After everyone congratulated and thanked him, Sun Chengzong led the generals to the map, pointed to Tieling, Fushun and other places on the map and said: "Everyone, Nurhaci died in Korea, and the Later Jin must be in chaos at this moment. I intend to take back Tieling and Fushun. What do you think?"

He Shixian immediately said: "My lord, I agree to send troops. This is a rare opportunity. If we can recover the lost land before the first heavy snow comes, we can stop the attack of the Later Jin and build fortifications in winter."

General Chen Ce, who is already over 70 years old, also He stood up and said, "Sir, I suggest that we take Weining Fort and Qinghe Fort first, and then attack Fushun. In this way, we can connect with Xindian and other places in the southeast and completely recover Liaozhong."

Sun Chengzong heard this and looked at Lu Cheng again: "General Lu, what do you think?"

"General Chen's strategy is very good, I agree. We can now recover Fushun."

The other generals also stood up and asked for battle. Now is a good time to start a war. If we can take this opportunity to recover the lost land, everyone will have a share of credit.

Bao Chengxian, a deputy general in Shenyang, said, "General Lu, you killed Nurhaci directly this time and made such a great contribution. Don't compete with us for the credit of attacking Qinghe and Fushun, right?"

Lu Cheng laughed, "General Bao is right. The troops under my command have just experienced a great war, and many troops have been sent to Korea. It is indeed impossible to spare too many troops to recover the lost territory. The next battle will be troubled by you."

Sun Chengzong was a little hesitant when he heard this. Now the most capable troops in the whole Liaodong must be the Liaonan troops under Lu Cheng.

If Lu Cheng does not participate in the war, it is hard to say whether the lost territory can be successfully recovered this time.

"General Lu, do you really not have any troops?"

"Lord Sun, Lu

I am in charge of the entire southern Liaoning, and I have to send a large number of troops to Korea. The troops that can be mobilized are indeed not many. They can only assist the generals, but I am afraid they are not strong enough to attack the city. "

Sun Chengzong nodded: "Then General Lu can mobilize as many troops as he can. This is a place to be recovered, and we must go all out and fight to decide it."

Lu Cheng hesitated for a while before speaking: "I can withdraw another 5,000 troops and go with General He. "

In fact, this time Lu Cheng did not want to go out with other generals, nor did he want to expose too much of his weapons and equipment.

Now, the total strength of Lu Cheng's troops has already exceeded 50,000.

The expeditionary forces sent to the south and the newly recruited expeditionary forces from the south alone add up to 15,000 soldiers.

The pirate groups scattered on the coastal islands also have two to three thousand people.

As for southern Liaoning, there are 50,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry on the surface.

In fact, there are 500 special forces, and the number of intelligence department operations personnel is also not small.

In addition to these, there are some security forces responsible for public security in the cities and castles of all sizes, and there are militias who have undergone simple military training in towns and villages.

It can be said that now on the land of southern Liaoning, almost all the people are Soldiers.

Of course, it is impossible for so many soldiers to be equipped with muskets.

Even the 50,000 regular infantry were not all equipped with muskets.

In the past two years, the production efficiency of muskets was not high, and the first-generation Land-type muzzle-loading flintlock muskets were still used, and later the second-generation breech-loading flintlock muskets were launched.

Now, the most advanced rifles in the army are single-shot rifles that fire metal bullets. That is, the Land-type third-generation rifle.

(Remington rolling block rifle, can only load 1 bullet at a time. Corresponding: Land-type third generation)

(Land-type third generation loading)

As for bolt-action rifles like 98K and Mosin-Nagant that can load five bullets, they cannot be mass-produced due to the current mechanical precision.

Moreover, even this kind of rifle that can only fire one bullet at a time The monthly output of the "single-shot" rifle with bullets is not high at present. Lu Cheng has only more than 1,500 rifles under his command.

As for the first-generation rifles that have been discontinued, most of them were equipped with the expeditionary force and sent to the south. A total of more than 3,000 second-generation breech-loading rifles were produced, and some of them went to the south, and there were 2,500 left in Liaodong.

In other words, of the more than 50,000 soldiers in Liaodong, only less than 5,000 were equipped with rifles.

Of course, with the upgrading of machinery and the development and improvement of technology, the production efficiency of the third-generation rifles is also constantly improving, and now 500 rifles can be produced every month.

As for mortars, the production process is relatively simple, and the more difficult part is the shells.

So far, the firearms workshop has produced a total of 60 60mm mortars. cannon and 10 80mm mortars. Among them, 20 60mm mortars also went south with the expeditionary force.

In addition to these, the firearms workshop also produced a batch of revolvers that can fire metal bullets, all of which were equipped to special forces.

(The earliest revolvers had separate percussion caps, gunpowder, and bullets, and loading was very complicated)

After the Battle of Changcheng, Lu Cheng immediately asked the soldiers to hide the mortars and all guns that could fire metal bullets, and strictly ordered all soldiers not to spread them.

Each rifle and revolver that can fire metal bullets has a number, and will be stored in the warehouse after returning, and the management is quite strict.

As for those front-loading flintlocks and rear-loading flintlocks, some of them were opened to the public, and Lu Cheng even gave a few to several generals.

Of course, the rifles given to them were also equipped with black powder and Minié bullets.

As for whether these guns would flow to the court, Lu Cheng didn't care.

Even if the court's craftsmen made flintlock muskets, it would be difficult to improve production efficiency, the quality could not be guaranteed, and it would consume the court's manpower and material resources.

Moreover, Lu Cheng's firearms workshop had long been upgraded to an arsenal, and was constantly strengthening weapon improvements.

Especially as the children in welfare schools who had received basic physics and chemistry education entered the arsenal, the speed of weapon improvement would be further accelerated.

As early as a few years ago, Lu Cheng paid great attention to the cultivation of talents. He personally compiled teaching materials, trained a group of teachers, and taught the children in person.

Among those children, there were also some older ones who had received a certain education and started to learn basic physics and chemistry directly.

Lu Cheng did not require these people to become chemists or physicists in the future, but only required them to understand the physical and chemical knowledge necessary for manufacturing guns and firearms.

Therefore, education

In the process, a lot of unnecessary things can be saved, and a group of senior craftsmen can be trained as soon as possible.

Of course, after these children enter the workplace, they must also learn while working and constantly improve themselves.

As for the younger children, they are not in a hurry to work, and the content of their studies is more systematic and comprehensive, and they will become more professional talents in the future.
