Sections 455, 456 Huan Gongji is not as good as Guan Zhong's wife.(2/2)

I will not bully you.

Li Luogang used breakfast, and the first thing he did was to summon three surrendered generals, Li Yi, Shi Mahuaide and Yelu Zhongjie.

After a while, the three of them came to the Tang Duke's Mansion and saw Li Luo with a complicated expression and said, "I pay homage to you, Master!"

Only when they knew that Li Luo was really present in front of them did they completely believe that the General of the Conquest South was really the king of Tang.

"Everyone is free from rituals, sit down. In Annan, you are also considered my robes, so there is no need to be polite." Li Luo only wore Yanju's casual shirt and a folding fan in his hand, which looked very free and leisurely, which was very different from the majesty of a white armor in the army.

The three of them remembered what happened when they were in Annan and couldn't help but miss it.

Li Luo said without a glance, "I need talents, but not everyone uses them. What I want is a good general and a capable minister who can conquer and rule the world. You can come to Haidong, not only because you are my robes, but also because you are good generals. I am a Han Chinese, why don't you use Shi Bi and Xie Kun? Because I am not ashamed of his character."

The three of them saluted in unison and said, "Thank you, the Lord, I am ashamed."

Li Luo stood up and pointed to the west, "It was the Central Plains. It used to be the Song, Liao, Jin and Xia. But now, it all belongs to the Mongolian Yuan."

"If the Mongolian Yuan could treat everyone equally, impart benevolent policies, follow the Han laws, and make the people of the world live like individuals, why should we oppose it?"

"However, the people of the Yuan court were granted the fourth rank, levying heavy taxes, killing and acting in a rebellious manner. Not only did the people resent, but the heaven was also angry. In this way, all heroes and heroes in the world were all too angry. So for decades, the world's evil flags were everywhere. The Yuan court was in a state of war, with Han, Jurchens, Khitans, and Dangxiang heroes as the forefront, one for suppression and the other for consumption. You should empathize with this matter."

The three of them agreed. Isn’t it? In recent years, the Yuan court has never trusted them? Every time they fight, they take the lead in fighting for the Mongolian army. Many tribe members died for the Yuan court, but got nothing.

After so many years of consumption, there are actually not many tribe members of the three tribes.

Not to mention that the Mongols and Yuan slaughtered all three tribes. How can this blood feud be deceived as if it does not exist?

Li Luo continued, "You don't know that Emperor Dayuan has appointed me as Duke of Yue, rewarded a son as a marquis, and appointed me as Pingzhang of Huguang Province. If I do not rebel against the Yuan Dynasty, I can enjoy all my glory and wealth."

"Why would I take the risk of letting the Duke of Yue not do it but do things against the Yuan Dynasty? I am not for selfish interests, but for public intentions. I am not for the Li family, but for the world. I would rather bear a few people than for the people of the world. Wherever the Japanese military peak is to go, I will definitely relieve the upside down of the people! This is my ambition!"

When Yelu Zhongjie heard the words "It would rather let a few people down than the world", he moved his heart. Isn't this what his wife wrote in the letter she showed to him?

The general really has the world in mind.

Yelu Zhongjie thought of his previous misunderstanding of Li Luo, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He suddenly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, forgive your sins! I don't know that your lord's clear heart can judge the sun and the moon. He actually judged the gentleman's abdomen by his villain's heart, which made him feel resentful and despised for your lord, and he was a death sentence!"

Cui Xiuning had already told Li Luo about Yelu Zhongjie, so Li Luo certainly knew it.

Li Luo helped Yelu Zhongjie up, "Loyalty is a loyal and honest man, so what is the crime of being a loyal and honest man? I do not care about the minor details, but only ask about the great righteousness. Where the great righteousness lies is the way of heaven, even if thousands of people are gone."

Li Yi said, "Your Majesty, the way of heaven is paid is the destiny! I am a man from the east of the sea for a long time. I saw that my Tang Dynasty was booming. Although a small country has few people, I have sufficient soldiers and food, sharp firearms, and the army is as strong as iron. The people's hearts can be relied on. When the world changes, the soldiers will divide the Central Plains, and major events can be expected!"

He came earlier and knew the terrible strength of the Tang Kingdom better than Shi Mahuaide and Yelu Zhongjie.

Shi Ma Huaide said, "The Langzhu was the general of the Wei minister before, but now he is the lord of the Wei minister. The Wei minister has no further words, just follow the order of the Langzhu!"

"Okay!" Li Luo said, "Then our monarch and ministers are still in robes! However, last time it was Zheng Yue, next time... it was Zheng Yuan! You go back and train cavalry well, but you will meet your requests if you need it!"

"Zhe! Thank you!" The three of them took the order together.

Li Luo laughed silently and said, "Don't say it, this is the rule of the Mongolian army. My Tang army is a promise."

"No!" The three of them immediately changed their words and suddenly looked at each other and laughed.

…………

After seeing off three alien generals, Li Luo began to inspect the various divisions in Haidong. What he paid the most attention to was of course the firearms and armor from the craftsmanship department, especially the latest mass-produced ten-kilogram medium-sized cannon.

Cui Xiuning was completely managed by the firearm. Li Luo had never taken care of it. In fact, he couldn't even control it even if he wanted to. He didn't even know the best formula for gunpowder, so how could he manage it?

After watching the launch of the ten-pound cannon, Li Luo was very satisfied. The range and power of this cannon have been ahead of the fire for hundreds of years, and it is definitely a powerful tool. The only disadvantage is the rate of fire and maneuverability. The rate of fire of two shots in three minutes and the weight of thousands of pounds makes it limited in its restraint of cavalry.

Ten-pound ammunition cannons are actually considered heavy artillery. According to the "Importing Code" compiled by Cui Xiuning, personnel configuration requires three artillery groups, one of which is an ammunition group, and one of which is a mule and horse maneuver.

Each group of five people, and each group of personnel can replace each other. In other words, a ten-pound ammunition gun requires fifteen people to be organized.

The ten-pound ammunition cannon has just begun mass production, while the three-pound ammunition cannon and the six-pound ammunition light cannon have already begun mass production. The largest number of three-pound ammunition cannons has produced more than 300.

The three-pound ammunition cannon is less than 100 kilograms, with good mobility and no bad power. The effective range is nearly one mile, exceeding the bed crossbow and stone cannon. According to the "Archive Code", the three-pound ammunition cannon requires two artillery groups, one of which is an artillery group and one ammunition group. Each artillery group has two.

In other words, a three-pound cannon requires four artillery soldiers to be responsible for maneuvering, firing and maintenance.

Although the six-jin light gun has a light character, it weighs 300 to 400 kilograms. Although it is more powerful and has a range of more than one mile, its mobility has dropped significantly. Now, the six-jin light gun has mass-produced more than 100.

The personnel configuration of a six-pound ammunition cannon reached nine people.

After the promotion and use of hydraulic forging hammers, Luoning guns have now made more than 6,000 pieces after more than a year of mass production.

At this time, the Luoning gun had two feet longer than a year ago, and was placed on the barrel. Usually, it was taken down as a musket soldier's sword. Once used, it was placed on the barrel and used as a spear.

The Tang army has currently organized four firearm brigades. Each firearm brigade has more than 5,000 people, equipped with 3,000 muskets, 200 small cannons with three kilograms of ammunition, 100 light cannons with six kilograms of ammunition, and 20 kilograms of ammunition.

However, because the number of firearms is insufficient, each firearm brigade has insufficient weapons and at most half of the equipment is installed.

"We can only organize four firearm brigades at most," Cui Xiuning said. "Firearms put too much pressure on logistics, and we can only maintain the combat of a firearm unit of 20,000 to 30,000 people."

Li Luo nodded, and he agreed with Cui Xiuning's words. Although the firearm was sharp and could greatly offset the advantages of the Yuan army's cavalry, the test of logistics was too great.

From ammunition replenishment, to firearm replacement, to battlefield maneuvering, there was great pressure, whether it was the production or transportation link. At its peak, the Ming Dynasty could only maintain the battle of tens of thousands of firearms, and it would be too much to bear it.

Just talking about transportation, a firearm brigade requires tens of thousands of mules and horses to transport.

That’s right, a firearm brigade requires tens of thousands of mules and horses!

This is by no means an exaggeration.

Take a musket soldier for example. For a medium-strength continuous combat for ten days, the ammunition alone will consume dozens of kilograms. A small cannon can consume hundreds of kilograms of ammunition, let alone six kilograms of ammunition and ten kilograms of ammunition.

On average, each firearm soldier needs two mules and horses!

This is just transportation. As for the production supplement of ammunition, especially gunpowder, and the supplement of scrap firearms, it can even crush the ancient production department.

Therefore, the Firearms Brigade is an indispensable killer weapon for the Tang army, but it is not the most important main force. Because at the current production level, the power output of the Firearms Brigade must be not sustainable.

The most important main force of the Tang army is undoubtedly the traditional infantry.

"The firearm is just four brigades. The heavy infantry needs to be strengthened!" Li Luo said, "We need a heavy step of at least 20,000 people. Now, there is still 10,000 left!"

"Select the tallest and strong elite soldiers in the entire army and form the Modao team!"
