Chapter 567 Where can you find such a great country?
so much?
The number Zhu Gaoying said shocked Su Wu again.
If more than 3,000 Suifa guns can be made in three months, isn't that equivalent to being able to make 1,000 guns in one month?
It only takes one year to form an army of 10,000 people, and it can also kill an army of 100,000 people at will.
Isn’t this directly invincible?
By that time, I am afraid that the railway built by Your Majesty will already run through the Western Region!
This army, with the support of the railway, can reach the Western Regions from the capital in one day!
The reason why the previous dynasties, whether it was Sui, Tang, or Yuan, did not incorporate those remote countries into their territory was largely because their geographical locations were too far away, and it was difficult for their military, political, economic, and culture to radiate and influence the past.
Even if they are forcibly subdued and incorporated into the country, they will break away at any time due to various reasons and become one extremely unstable factor after another.
Therefore, we can only divide them into pieces, or let them govern themselves and surrender to China.
Now with this train, their territory to the west may even be doubled!
The Yuan Dynasty just fought through it, but their Ming Dynasty was even able to actually control it!
"So I feel that it is very necessary to form such an army in advance. As long as the train is finished, I will let Zhang Qixin and the others rest for about five days, and then I will commission them to make this new type of weapon - firearms!"
At this time, with the first manufacturing experience, if some of the craftsmen involved in manufacturing trains and steam engines are separated, they should be able to copy it on their own, and should be able to create a second locomotive before next spring!
The first column runs east-west, and the second column runs north-south!
At that time, Ming's cavalry will sweep away all obstacles and directly build an Asian empire!
Well, don’t worry about the island country in the east. I remember that it won’t take long for their Japanese pirates to arrive near the coast of Ming Dynasty. Then I will give them a surprise!
After all, we cannot attack other people's lands casually. After all, we love peace, but we cannot be like some countries!
Like the Five Powers Allied Forces, they all came to attack our Liangzhou. If we take down their capital, is there a problem?
The Japanese pirates from the east have come up and seriously disrupted the coastal economy of our Ming Dynasty. I or my descendants will directly eradicate it in one step, directly divide it into a separate province, and then station a large number of troops and fleets as our
Ming Dynasty’s Pacific Ocean Base, isn’t it delicious?
Although I say that, we can't do too much. For the economic, political and security construction of your country, let our Ming army pay more, contribute more, and serve as police for you!
Look, our Ming Dynasty not only did not hold you responsible for invading our country's territory, but also helped you with national defense and security construction. We are really kind-hearted!
Where can you find such a great country?
"So Your Majesty, do you want the five major battalions to be reorganized and select elites to form this firearms unit?"
Su Wu asked tentatively, but Zhu Gaoyan nodded and shook his head, still undecided.
"Although I have this plan, I don't want to split up the five major battalions!"
Although each military camp only has between 10,000 and 20,000 soldiers and horses, they are the elite among the elite. The troops they form can also be one against two or one against three on the battlefield!
Because they are not only veterans of hundreds of battles, but their running-in and cooperation have reached an unprecedented level. If they are split and reorganized, their original combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!
I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet Zhu Gaoyan's expectations for them!
"So, I am still thinking about whether to select a group from the ordinary troops, or directly recruit new soldiers to form this musketry unit!"
But in this case, time will not seem too tight.
Not to mention whether the quality of these ordinary soldiers can meet the predetermined requirements, their loyalty and the degree of confidentiality of the new secret weapon such as muskets are really worrying.
Because the difficulty and requirements for making a simple musket are not high, you only need to experiment more to create the simplest musket.
Therefore, Zhu Gaoying was worried that before these weapons were unveiled, they would have been known to others, especially those countries that were hostile to the Ming Dynasty.
"Although this is possible, it is difficult for us to find so many people who meet the requirements in such a short period of time!"
Therefore, the troops of the five major battalions still need to be reorganized!
"If we want to find 3,000 soldiers who are loyal to His Majesty and strong in the spring of next year, I'm afraid we can only draw from the remaining four battalions!"
"That's the only way it can be!"
By this time, Zhu Gaoying seemed to have discovered that he seemed to have a special obsessive-compulsive disorder, that is, he would not separate something that was originally strong and intact unless he had to!
"Originally, the Xiaoqi Battalion was the most suitable for the Musketeers, but I have already sent him to the northern part of Liangzhou!"
As the name of the Xiaoqi Camp suggests, most of the people in the camp are good at riding and fighting on horseback, and each person is equipped with a good war horse. In terms of the quality of the horses alone, they are even slightly better than the horses of the barbarians.
It can be said to be the strongest cavalry in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even in all surrounding countries!
"Your Majesty, have you sent them to Liangzhou?"
What are the five camps? They are all brothers who have followed His Majesty through life and death, and are Zhu Gaotian’s pet peeves!
Why is Your Majesty so willing to send the Xiaoqi Battalion to Liangzhou?
"Well, this is also a helpless move. Only the Xiaoqi Battalion is good at guerrillas. With the advantage of war horses, it can try to engage the enemy to reduce casualties, and it can also play a strong interference role!"
But even so, after the trip to Liangzhou, the damage to Xiaoqi Camp will be immeasurable!
The Xiaoqi Battalion may even be removed from the five major camps!
"After all, there is no room for loss in Liangzhou. Once Liangzhou is lost, it means that the Ming Dynasty will lose absolute control in the Western Region, and it will also plunge the people of Liangzhou and surrounding cities into dire straits!"
After conquering Liangzhou City, what will the Five Nations Allied Forces do? History has already given a clear answer!
Although Xiaoqi Camp is precious, with its ten thousand active force, it can save hundreds of thousands or even millions of poor people in Liangzhou City and surrounding areas from persecution, so it can be considered a worthy place to die.
After all, the combined military strength of Liangzhou and all surrounding cities may not be comparable to one-third of the Five Nations Allied Forces!
