Zhang Chun knew that once he took this step, he would definitely offend Li Banghua, who presided over the reform of the Beijing camp, and he might not even get the support of the prince.
It’s just that Zhang Chun has no choice at the moment. In order to prevent the Shenji Camp from being cut off, he cannot choose to retreat. Otherwise, how can he explain to the ancestors of the Shenji Camp?
Lin Jing understood the sincerity in what he said, but the reform of Beijing Camp was related to the future and would never stop because of the obstruction of some people.
"The cancellation of Shenji Camp has now become a foregone conclusion. I understand that you will feel uncomfortable in your heart, but I hope you can learn to accept this reality."
Lin Jing's voice was calm and did not express much emotion.
Zhang Chun's face suddenly turned pale. He bravely raised his head for the first time and said nonchalantly: "Your Highness, did the Shenji Camp do something wrong?"
Lin Jing shook his head and said: "The Shenji Battalion has never done anything wrong. In the past, it was a prestigious group and made many great contributions. But in the future, we cannot continue to use this model of the past. We need to
Only with new changes can we win the war in the future."
Speaking of this, Lin Jing said in a deep voice: "To put it simply, in the future the Ming army will fully implement firearms, which means that all armies can be called Shenji battalions... The new muskets have already been
After it is developed, it will be widely deployed in the future, and the new artillery is also at a critical stage of development. By then, the new Beijing Camp will completely surpass the past in terms of combat effectiveness."
"If we continue to cling to our limitations and remain stubborn, the Shenji Battalion will only bring us failure in the future."
The cold words slowly struck Zhang Chun's heart. His originally raised head dropped slightly, and there was a slight desolation in his voice.
"Your Highness, I understand... I have committed a major crime this time and disturbed Your Highness. Please deal with it."
"It's just that the general's brothers blindly believed in me... Everything is the general's fault."
Zhang Chun knelt on the ground, his body pressed tightly to the ground.
Lin Jing looked at Zhang Chun with a smile and said with a smile: "General Zhang did everything not for himself, but for the soldiers in the Beijing camp. What's wrong with him? There's just one thing. You need to think more about things in the future, and remember not to be impulsive.
Reckless, otherwise even if I could forgive you, it would still be unfair to Mr. Li, do you understand?"
Li Banghua's expression on the side was still very calm, and he seemed not to be affected by this incident at all.
Zhang Chun, who was kneeling on the ground, looked even more ashamed. He kowtowed to Lin Jing respectfully, and then kowtowed in the direction of Li Banghua.
"The general is guilty, please punish me."
Li Banghua's expression did not change, but with a smile, he said: "His Royal Highness has forgiven your sins, so what reason do I have to hold on to you?"
Zhang Chun quickly stood up and left with the other soldiers.
After Zhang Chun left, Li Banghua said with a suspicious face: "Your Highness, this new style of musket... I don't seem to have received any news..."
Lin Jing couldn't help but smile a little and said: "General Xian, the production of new muskets is relatively limited... For the time being, all of them may have to be handed over to the pro-military camp and the Yuwei camp...
"Your Highness, the Beijing camp is also the army of the Ming Dynasty..."
Li Banghua suddenly called out to Qu. In the past, the Beijing camp was the most precious army in the Ming Dynasty, but now it seems that everyone has become disgusted with it.
Lin Jing was also a little embarrassed and said quickly: "Don't worry, General Xian, I have already informed the emperor that all the turtle dove guns will be distributed to the Beijing camp. Although the quantity is less, it will be enough in a short time."
..."
A hint of cunning flashed in Li Banghua's eyes. He knew that there were a group of relatively advanced turtle dove guns in the Prince's Guard Camp and the Yu Guard Army. It would be possible to get those fire guns over when the time comes.
After inspecting the capital camp, Lin Jing felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and something seemed to have been missed... It was only when he returned to Duanben Palace that he figured it out, and that was the problem of artillery.
In fact, in the military comparison in the late Ming Dynasty, the Qing army's current military advantage was not only based on the bravery and proficiency of its soldiers, but also gradually surpassed the Ming army in terms of equipment, among which the Hongyi cannon was a typical case.
.
Since the Battle of Saarhu, Xu Guangqi, a bachelor at the time, introduced a number of cannons through the Portuguese in Macau in order to defeat the Jin Army, and also purchased dozens of cannons through the Ocean Company, and these cannons were later used in the Battle of Ningyuan
He played a very crucial role and made great contributions.
After reaping the benefits, the Ming Dynasty further expanded the scale of Hongyi cannons and played a significant role in subsequent battles. At the same time, the Later Jin Army had also experienced the power of Hongyi from several failures.
The power of the cannon was determined to build his own Hongyi cannon.
Of course, although the early Hou Jin Army tried their best to imitate, many technical difficulties were still difficult to solve, and the quality of the produced Hongyi cannons was mostly substandard, which greatly disappointed Huang Taiji.
At this critical moment, the Wuqiao Mutiny that broke out in the fourth year of Chongzhen changed everything. Pidao rebel generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Li Jiucheng, and Li Yingyuan launched a rebellion in Wuqiao, and in the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, they captured Dengzhou and arrived in Chongzhen.
In the sixth year, he chose to surrender to the Hou Jin Army with a large number of soldiers and their families.
The most important thing is that there were several Hongyi cannons and many skilled craftsmen on Kong Youde's ship at that time, which made Hou Jin's imitation work of Hongyi cannons advance by leaps and bounds, and a special artillery unit "Wuzhen Chaoha" was also established.
This incident had a great impact on the battles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because it completely changed the history of the Jin army's inability to attack fortresses. The power of spears surpassed the power of shields in a short period of time, making the current city of the Ming army no longer possible.
It is so strong, just like in the Battle of Songjin, the Qing army's red cannon played a great role.
In the original history, after the Qing army obtained the red cannon, not only were they invincible in field battles, but even siege warfare became simpler - they only needed to put the red cannon under the city and blast it at will, and they could defeat it.
The city of the imperial court.
When he thought of this, Lin Jing said quickly: "Call Tang Ruowang, Song Yingxing and others. I have something to discuss with them."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Li Jizhou left the palace, Lin Jing began to write and draw on a piece of paper with a brush. He needed to recall some of the technical points about bastions in later generations in a short period of time. As long as there was a mature bastion system, then
The threat of the Hongyi cannon will be reduced to an even lower level.
What's even better is that the bastion system is more conducive to defense than offense, so it doesn't matter even if it is learned by the Qing army. After all, the Ming army still needs to do a good job in defense, and the time to attack is far from coming.
.
Thinking that the peace talks between the Ming and Qing Dynasties might not be successful this time, Lin Jing was determined to improve this problem before the Qing army entered the fortress. This chapter has been completed!
