Therefore, for thousands of years, countless foreigners drove the Han people and let them attack their cities.
Countless people laughed at the laughter of foreigners, and their families were destroyed.
Wait until the Han Dynasty becomes weak. Relying on the help provided by the Han Dynasty, the foreigners immediately massacred the Han people.
But things are different now. Zhu Youjian will not allow such a situation to happen again.
Powerful and obeying Zhu Youjian's command. , The troops who were dissatisfied with Zhu Youjian provided Zhu Youjian with confidence.
After all, the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty are already equipped with machine guns, although the number is pitifully small, although ammunition and supplies are obtained by hanging up the system, and although the Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to manufacture or maintain them at all.
But it's undeniable. Nowadays, even without the support of railways, Ming Dynasty can still walk on the grassland unscrupulously.
After all, machine guns are the nemesis of cavalry. What brought cavalry out of the battlefield was the invention of the machine gun.
Before the advent of machine guns, if there was a cavalry surprise attack, the infantry would have to shoot in batches to stop the enemy.
In order to prevent the opponent from attacking your own formation, you must shoot from a relatively long distance.
The powerful mobility of the cavalry allows them to find weak points in the infantry team and break through.
This is why the muskets have been out for so long, but they still may not be able to pass the cavalry head-on.
But it's different with machine guns. ,
Because of the existence of the machine gun, it can only travel a powerful fire network in a short time. This distance is enough to form a death zone.
It was enough to hold off those cavalry for a while. This time is enough for the infantry to form a stable position.
Even 5 machine guns, plus a hundred-man troop, can easily defeat 10,000 cavalry.
Such strength may not be very helpful on the frontal battlefield, but for the transport team, it is absolutely of great significance.
Since ancient times, a big reason why the Han Dynasty failed on the grasslands was because of supply problems.
People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you won't be hungry. If you want to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, you must have supplies.
However, due to benevolence and righteousness, as well as other reasons, the Han Dynasty mostly relied on transporting supplies from within the country.
Although Zhu Youjian did not object to this, it also exposed a huge flaw in logistics. If there were no problems with logistics, the entire army might be destroyed at any time.
In addition, the transportation team also needs to eat.
If it is a transport team of 3,000 people, a ten-day round trip will require ten days of food and fodder for 3,000 people.
Not only that, it also requires at least a lot of physical labor. affecting domestic production.
In addition, in the past, conquering the grassland did not bring high economic benefits to the country, except for making people around them more honest and promoting the country's prestige.
Therefore, many dynasties are not willing to spend time on the grassland.
But Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that the grassland was a treasure.
Don’t say anything else, just talk about Outer Mongolia.
Outer Mongolia covers an area of 1.5 million square kilometers. The country's main mineral resources include coal, phosphorus, copper, petroleum, iron, gold, gypsum, etc. Among them, copper reserves exceed 2 billion tons, gold reserves reach 3,400 tons, coal reserves reach 300 billion tons, and oil reserves reach 8 billion barrels. Iron ore reserves are 2 billion tons, fluorspar deposits are 28 million tons, phosphate ore reserves are 200 million tons, molybdenum ore reserves are 240,000 tons, zinc ore reserves are 60,000 tons, silver ore reserves are 7,000 tons, etc.
These are all treasures.
Some people died, but not completely...
