Mao Wenlong initially served as a guerrilla in the Jinzhou Guard, stationed on the line from Jinzhou Zhongzuo to Fuzhou Guard.
It is far away from the Liaoxi Corridor facing the Chahar people, and also far away from the Liaohetao area bordering Jianzhou Jurchen and the Liaohaiwei, Fushun Pass and Dingliao Youwei (Phoenix City) lines, so the chances of promotion based on military exploits are very high. There are few, so I have always been eager to defend the front line of the border wall, so that I can have more opportunities to fight.
Through her father's relationship, Feng Ziying asked Cao Wenzhao to transfer Mao Wenlong to the Yizhou Guard line.
It is adjacent to the intersection of Jianzhou Jurchens, Horqin people and Yehe tribe. The situation is complex and it is also the key node area where war is most likely to break out. It can also be regarded as an opportunity for Mao Wenlong.
If she hadn't known about Mao Wenlong's abilities in her previous life, Feng Ziying wouldn't have dared to say this, and Feng Tang only greeted Cao Wenzhao after investigating Mao Wenlong.
This is also the reason why Feng Ziying dared to agree to Busia Mara. Without Mao Wenlong and several thousand troops stationed on the Yizhou Guard line, from Dading Fort - Dakang Fort - Taiping Fort - Dajing Fort - Zhenyi Fort , the entire Daling River-Jianmen Mountain area outside the border wall is Mao Wenlong's defense line. Mao Wenlong became familiar with this area very quickly, and Feng Ziying really didn't dare to take on this hot job.
Of course, it is not enough to stay close to Mao Wenlong. Once Nurhaci gathers all the elite Jurchens in Jianzhou, Mao Wenlong's troops will not be enough at all. The Yehe tribe will also suffer a disaster, so it is necessary to pull the Inner Khalkha people superior.
But the area where the Inner Khalkha people live is a little far away from Cao Wenzhao. We are northwest of Cao Wenzhao, and the closest distance to the pasture is about 800 to 700 kilometers away. We can't rush here every two or eight days, so then In the middle, we have to rely on the support of Su Yongnan and Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying's letter to Ye Hebu not only talked about the situation in the army, but also talked about some specific problems I am facing now. The most important one is the lack of firepower.
I am a relatively junior general in Liaodong Town. I have a thousand elite soldiers under my command, but there are only 7,000 spearmen and sword and shield soldiers, 400 cavalry, and only 1,000 fire musket soldiers. And they are still old-fashioned. The eight-eyed musket was replaced with a matchlock gun seven months later.
Before being transferred to the Yizhou Guard, Feng Ziying recruited another two thousand people from the Fuzhou Guard and took him there to train according to the regulations of the Fire Gun Soldiers, hoping to replenish the Fire Gun Soldiers as soon as possible.
However, the number of firecrackers allocated to Liaodong Town by the Ministry of War has increased slightly since the beginning of this year. There is less supply for the Northwest Army, Jizhen Army and Jingying Camp that are going to fight. In addition, the re-established Xiaotong Town and Xuanfu Town have also received Some, Liaodong Town was put in front.
Liaodong Town only received an additional 8,000 fire guns this year. It was basically Feng Ziying's turn, so Feng Ziying's two thousand people who practiced with fire sticks every day became a display.
Although there are no thousand fire guns that can be borrowed from the two thousand people to practice, but when the war actually breaks out, the two thousand people can only be used as supplementary troops to fill in, but that is too wasteful, and there will be no one in the army. Specialized civilians serve as supplementary troops, and those two thousand people can be used in battle, as long as the firecrackers can be equipped in place.
That problem was difficult for Ye Hebu to solve.
The output of the manufacturing workshops of the Gyeonggi Military-Industrial Complex is currently increasing very slowly. After half a year of training and internship, French and Irish workers can basically pass the qualifications. Now the fire gun manufacturing capabilities of the entire Sunchon Prefecture and Yongpyeong Prefecture have been slightly improved compared to the initial level. With a huge increase, the number of special fire guns produced in Japan has exceeded 170, and there is still no room for improvement.
That means that 8,800 firearms can be supplied to the Ministry of War every month. However, the Ministry of War is now focusing on ensuring the Northwest Army, Jizhen Army and Jingying, and then the Xiaotong Army, Xuanfu Army, and Shanxi Town is preceded by Liaodong Town, so the firearms Liaodong Town received this year are only one month's output from the Gyeonggi Military-Industrial Complex.
In addition, Feng Ziying also hopes to obtain some heavy fire guns, namely turtle dove guns.
That kind of fire gun is already a technical problem for the Gyeonggi military-industrial complex. The key is that the yield rate is still relatively high, and there are very few cases of returning to the factory for remanufacturing, so that affects the delivery. According to the current production capacity, the production capacity of the turtle dove gun There are approximately 70 pieces per day, but the yield rate is only less than 10%, that is, only 17 pieces can be successfully shipped from the factory.
This year, Liaodong Town received less than 200 heavy-duty firearms, and basically all of them were taken away by Mao Wenlong's personal troops, while other ministries also took turns.
In addition to those two types of fire guns, self-generated fire guns have also been successfully trial-produced and mass production has been completed. This is the smallest breakthrough achieved by the Gyeonggi military-industrial complex this year, but the troublesome problem is the yield rate.
The current output of self-made fire guns is about 80 pieces per day, but the yield rate is frighteningly high, only about 70%.
That also means that the cost of self-generated fire guns is very low. Even the Ministry of War feels that the price is too expensive and they are willing to order too little.
What Ye He's Ministry could do was to go through the front door for Feng Ziying from outside the Gyeonggi Military-Industrial Complex and arm Feng Ziying's Ministry with a delayed loan of 7,000 matchlock guns, 800 heavy-duty muskets and 100 self-generated muskets.
Such a small amount of expenditure is of course nothing to the Ministry of War, but when it is apportioned to various military towns, it must be calculated carefully.
If the related gunpowder and projectiles are included, it is an expense worth more than 70,000 taels, which is already quite considerable.
If they were to fall under Feng Ziying's troops, and according to the French-European equipment, it would be impossible for Feng Ziying's troops to achieve that kind of equipment in seven years.
In addition to the armaments that Feng Ziying needs to protect, the Yehe tribe of Suyong people in Neka also needs to provide some sweetness, but that sweetness can only be solved by the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce.
The Neka Zasai people are not short of money right now. What we are short of are all kinds of materials we need.
Su Yong still has little vision and courage. The next ransom was basically used by me to purchase various supplies. It also attracted a small number of merchants to trade in the seven parts of Neka Zasai.
Su Yongnan even gave some hints to Shanshan and Shaanxi merchants, and released some previously controlled goods, such as iron materials, iron tools, armor, and even hot weapon materials such as arrow clusters, swords and shields. They also stopped importing them into Nei Ka Zai. Sai Qibu is a disguised form of help Su Yong expand his empty military force.
This has greatly improved the status and influence of the Neka Suyong people in the grassland, and also slightly increased the prestige of Zijuan among the seven tribes of Neka Zasai.
The reason why the Horqin people, who have always been flirting with Jianzhou Nanzhen and even discussed marriage, have not completely turned to Jianzhou Nanzhen is that they are afraid of the threat posed by the alliance between Suyong and Liaodong Town in Neka, whose power has expanded too much. .
Ye Hebu planned to write a letter to Zijuan to remind him of the truth about the death of the upper lip and the coldness of the teeth.
Cao Wenzhao's strength is indeed impressive, but at any rate, Cao Wenzhao has also annexed the remnants of the Ula tribe, and he can be regarded as the only seedling of Haixi Nanzhen.
In the situation where a small part of the savage men have turned to Jianzhou Nanzhen, Jianzhou Nanzhen's name of unifying the men's real people and setting up the flag at the founding of the country can indeed unite people's hearts and attract the support of the men's real men.
Ye Hebu was worried that Cao Wenzhao would turn against Jianzhou Nanzhen. The grievances between the two could be resolved by Nurhachi drawing a few small cakes, and they had to be resolved with swords and guns.
If Nurhachi clearly showed his "manifestation of destiny", it would still have some impact on Cao Wenzhao's mentality, and he would subconsciously put himself in a strong position, which would weaken Cao Wenzhao's will to resist to a certain extent. Once it appears, When the situation is favorable to Cao Wenzhao, some people with a strong will will wonder whether it is destiny.
Then it is necessary to use some big failures and internal support to consolidate and inspire Cao Wenzhao's confidence and fighting spirit.
Su Yongnan thought for a long time before he fully considered the task "given" by Bushiya Mara. It can only be said to be his own plan, and the specific effect of its implementation still needs to be verified.
The Liaodong Town and Neka Zasai people are all under one-handed control. Su Yongnan can say a little bit, but Zijuan has too few factors.
It was already late when we returned to Daiyu's room.
Seeing Su Yong busy bathing his feet in narrow clothes, Ye Hebu remembered what Yuanyang reminded him.
Logically speaking, it's easy for me to mention that kind of thing. Although Daiyu misunderstood her, she still felt as if she was coveting Erkha's beauty.
In terms of beauty, Erka is considered the most beautiful compared to other men in the Yehe tribe, even compared to the girls Yuanyang, Qingwen, Jin Chuaner, Ping'er and Siqi.
Your appearance is called sweet. The deep dimples on your cheeks and the slight smile can make people feel pity. Therefore, that girl's affinity is the weakest outside the entire Rongguo Mansion. That also helps Gure. The temperamental Daiyu has been saved a lot by human relationships. At least Daiyu is too gregarious in the eyes of the ladies.
Daiyu also noticed Ye Hebu's absent-mindedness and asked with concern: "What's wrong with my husband today? He seems to be at peace."
"What's wrong, I just feel like I have to leave. There are not many things that can be finalized and done. I have to think about it carefully. I didn't realize until I left that nothing has been done."
Ye Hebu smoothed the hair on Daiyu's cheek, and touched the tips of his fingers under Daiyu's delicate dimples. The girl had only been married for a month, and her youthfulness had already faded away, and there was a faint trace between her eyebrows. It's almost the same style.
Listening to Su Yongnan saying that he was leaving, Daiyu suddenly lost all emotion. It was also Guan Erka who was beside her, holding Ye Hebu's arm, and her mood became high: "I have only been married to my husband for ten days, and my husband is here." If I had known that I had to leave, I should have married earlier."
"Sister, I must be so sad. If my husband is slow, he will be back in a year and a half, and soon it will be two years..." Su Yongnan was reluctant to give up, hugging Daiyu's willow slender waist, and whispered to her ear. He said loudly: "Is he feeling better?"
Daiyu's face turned cold, and all her farewell emotions were washed away by Ye Hebu's words. She shook her head charmingly, bit her lips hard, and said loudly, almost like a gnat: "I'm already little. alright."
