However, they did not expect that at this time, the generous monk said that Jingren entered the pass not with bows and horses, but with artillery, which surprised them.
Before these people could ask questions, Monk Generous smiled: "My ancestor was an officer of Daqi back then, and he fought with Jingren.
These are mentioned in the records left by his old man...
The Jing people are actually not good at riding and shooting. They are not nomadic people like the bald people.
When they first lived in northern Liaoning, they all relied on half-farming and half-fishing and hunting. They might be good at bows and arrows, but even if they were better at riding horses than us Han people, they were very limited.
When the army was first raised, the battle against Daqi officers and soldiers relied on chariots and white-armored warriors.
Each of those so-called white-armored warriors is a heavy infantryman wearing triple armor...
During the battle, those flag soldiers in white armor hid behind the obstruction of the chariots to avoid Da Qi's firearms.
When they get close, they charge with weapons.
And that kind of fighting method was learned from Pingbohou."
Everyone has read books, and those who have extensive knowledge will naturally have read the "Pingbo Martial Arts" written by Pingbo Hou, the most outstanding military master in the past two to three hundred years.
Thinking back at this moment, the Pingbo Martial Arts Book indeed records this kind of combat method.
Even when I read a lot of history books, I remember that when Pingbohou was guarding the six towns, he often used that kind of chariot to go out to sweep away various ethnic groups.
Monk Dafang's statement really challenged three views, but it was so well-founded that everyone didn't know what to say for a while.
"Yes, I once saw with my own eyes the reason why Jingren was able to sweep through the Central Plains.
It was only after obtaining the advanced artillery in the hands of San Francisco that we were able to enter Guanzhong and capture the city.
Otherwise, all the cities in Daqi back then were strong and deep, and how many people in Jingren could have been killed by relying on ants to attack the city?
I'm afraid even if everyone dies, they won't be able to take over Middle-earth.
The so-called ancestral bow and horse is just a boast that Jingren boasted about his ancestors.
Also, we are afraid that we Han people will know the power of firearms and rebel from now on!"
These words constantly impacted the outlook of Yang Wanze and others.
Let them not know what to do!
Intellectually speaking, they have vaguely believed that these propaganda about Jingren's invincibility are probably all false.
But what they have heard and known since childhood has already formed a strong fortress.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a sense of chaos and absurdity.
"Jingren claimed that his ancestors conquered the world with bows and horses. Is it true that the truth is nothing more than that?" Yang Wanze murmured to himself.
"Of course that's the case. If you look at the fragments of articles left by those people in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they often mention that those who were lucky enough to win the world in the past dynasties are not as good as this dynasty...
Although there are not many detailed records, the literary inquisition has been deleted.
You can see what truth those people are hiding!
In fact, the real reliance of Jingren in combat is artillery and firearms.
Look at the imperial court’s battles over the years, which one has not used artillery and firearms on a large scale?
At that time, the Jingren army fought a decisive battle with the Gerdi Bald people in the Western Regions, and they still used cannons and firearms.
It's just that over the years, Jingren's own claims have made his descendants begin to believe in the ancestral bow and horse.
In short, over the years, the firearms in the hands of the Jingren court have not developed in hundreds of years.
However, the firearms in the hands of foreigners are constantly developing, and now they are much more powerful than the firearms in the hands of Jingren!
Master Cihang had a far-sighted vision and wanted to buy advanced weapons from foreigners and cooperate with foreigners' tactics. It would not be difficult to defeat Jingren.
After all, Jingren learned his firearms from Daqi, but Daqi’s firearms were also learned from foreigners..."
Although they still couldn't accept it at this time, people like Yang Wanze almost believed it.
But Tao Xiaowu waved his hands and said with a smile: "There is no need to argue about this kind of thing. When the foreign firearms are bought, let's go and see what these firearms are like!"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent: "What the real person said is that we only need to see with our own eyes whether foreign firearms are powerful or not!"
Now, through various channels, they have poached many military talents from Jingren's officers and soldiers.
Many of them are middle- and low-level officers who have experienced war and have actual military experience.
They should be no strangers to firearms...at least they are much better than these arrogant scholars.
At that time, once those foreign firearms come back, just compare them with the Jingren firearms and you will know that they are the most powerful!
In this era, flintlock guns should have appeared, right?
Although it is still smoothbore!
…
"Is this where we will serve?"
Lieutenant Colonel Capet looked at the mountains in the distance and frowned slightly.
He has served in many places around the world!
As a mercenary, he has been employed by many employers and has extremely rich war experience.
He had served in Roba's army, had been employed by a certain food-rich monarch, and had even participated in the colonial monarch's expedition to conquer Kegalus, fighting against the fierce local natives.
Finally, he came to the legendary Eastern Continent, which was full of wealth and gold, and was responsible for providing training for the colonial army.
But now, this veteran officer with extremely rich experience was hired at a high price by a mysterious businessman under Jingren's rule to go to this place to train his army and teach him the tactics of Luoba Continent.
Along with him came an entire group of instructors.
They were all invited from JAO Colony or Mara Colony.
Among these people, except for some guys who are just trying to make ends meet and make a living.
There are also many people with real abilities among them!
After all, in an era like this, when professional soldiers have no wars to fight, it is the most normal thing to go around the world to accept employment and earn commissions.
Of course, among this kind of people, there are not many people with as rich experience and level as Lieutenant Colonel Capet.
The reason why Lieutenant Colonel Capet accepted the employment of the mysterious force without knowing anything was except that the price offered by the new employer was high enough.
And more importantly, the new employer seems very ambitious.
It's not just about hiring them as professional soldiers, instructors, etc.
Moreover, a considerable number of technicians were employed, ranging from smelting iron to casting cannons, and even manufacturing firearms.
An experienced mercenary like Capet who has fought many wars knows one thing very well: war is never a child's play.
No matter how high the commission is, it must be paid with life!
If you meet a bad employer, no matter how much money you give, it will be in vain if you die on the battlefield.
