"Have a banquet, have a banquet." When Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, he invited the ministers to dinner.
I also chose the same location as last time, at the Kowloon Bridge. The place is big and can accommodate everyone.
"Hanhan, we win. General Xu Da defeated Wang Baobao. Here is the copied battle report."
The leader jumped up and down like a child and ran to the shrine to find Hanhan and tell him the good news.
"I'm done here, enough for twelve stores." Zhu Wentian put down his pen and rubbed his wrist.
It wasn't until today that he completed the planning and specific layout of the twelve newly purchased stores in Xiaqiu Village.
He took the copied battle report, read it, and put it aside: "It won't be so easy in the future. Use the range of a flintlock gun and use yellow gunpowder to explode. It can be broken."
"Is it a siege from all sides?" The commander thought about it. He chased in one direction, and then he was bombed. What about from all sides?
"Without that many troops, the easiest way is to dig trenches."
Zhu Wentian said as he pulled over a piece of paper and drew a grid-like trench on it.
"That's it. People are hiding inside, leaving the trench in front of them. If you don't get down, I will go along the trench and get close to you with various weapons.
If you come down, we will fight in the ditch, and your range advantage will not be reflected.
Unless you don't attack my place, I will dig trenches all around to prevent you from having the advantage of weapons. "
The commander took a look and said: "It can only be used on defense, there is no time to dig trenches on offense."
"War is a matter of technology and resources. The lead bullets used in flintlock guns and the wooden shield plus a layer of leather cannot stop it. You can change it to a quilt and wet it with water to try it.
It is easier to build an iron shield. This is also very useful. The key is whether there is enough iron.
Our flintlock musket consumes a lot of ammunition and money. Without technology and money, all we can do is risk our lives. "
Zhu Wentian said very casually that the flintlock gun was not invincible.
The commander put away the piece of paper with the trench drawn on it: "I don't know how long the fight will last. I hope that fewer people will die in Ming Dynasty. It's not easy for a person to grow up so big!"
"It's almost there. It should be less than a month. The advancement on the western front is fast. If Li Wenzhong on the eastern front is not stupid, he should be able to force the enemy into a river battle."
Zhu Wentian made some calculations and found that Xu Da was more powerful this time and defeated Wang Baobao. The middle route army had arrived at Helin City.
He used prisoners to build fortifications and a combat force of 95,000 people. As long as he did not make stupid mistakes, no one could impress him.
When Feng Sheng's west route troops rush over, there will be no worries about logistics and supplies. Feng Sheng will definitely be able to get a lot of large livestock and food.
Yuan soldiers also have fire blunderbuss, and they can also collect some unscientific gunpowder from them and use it to rub leads.
"What is the battle over the river?" The commander obviously didn't know what was going on there.
"There is a river in the area. The river is very wide and exceeds the range of a flintlock gun..."
Zhu Wentian explained to the chief the tactics that Han Zheng and Ha Cizhang had thought of, and stayed by the river.
"Then how to fight? Our advantage is gone, unless we have ships." The commander was worried for the Ming soldiers.
"No fight, the Yuan soldiers are on the other side of the river, and our soldiers are on this side of the river. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. If the Yuan soldiers stay there, He Lin behind will be gone."
Zhu Wentian believed that Li Wenzhong and Han Zheng could come up with good ideas, just basic tactics.
"Ah~~!" The commander relaxed: "Yes, they are better at fighting than us. Hanhan, can you command the battle?"
"I can talk on paper, and it's no problem for me to come up with bad ideas. But to actually lead an army to fight...who should I learn from?"
Zhu Wentian admitted that he did not know how to command when he brought troops to the battlefield. How did both sides arrange their formations, how to mobilize their own men to restrain the other side, and how many changes there were in the process...
Anyway, he knew it was not easy. If a bunch of other people's cavalry came out, would they attack his own central army?
Send someone over, how can the cavalry get around it later?
It seems that I have to memorize the military manual first, and then find a way to go to the military camp in Nanjing and have people fight against each other several times.
Show all possible situations and how to deal with them, and memorize them yourself.
"When they come back after winning the battle, I will tell the children in our village to learn it. Then you will learn it!"
It doesn't matter if you come up with ideas, we idiots can learn from them.
"Okay!" Zhu Wentian agreed, and then the two of them said "hey hey hey" together.
When the chief went out, he said: "Go to Jinshui Bridge for dinner tomorrow. Your Majesty invites you."
…
The tenth day of May is the summer solstice in two days.
At this time, all the land that should be planted has been planted, which refers to food crops.
Half a month ago it was time to plant the awns. When planting the awns, the crops must be planted before the end.
There has been a lot of rain recently. It rained during the day today, and at night... it wasn't cool at all.
It's still barbecue tonight, just like last time.
Thread a bunch of meat and grill it, take a big skewer to others and ask if they want it, and if they want it, cut it off.
Fruits were also given, and vegetables were also roasted.
People from Xiaqiu Village came and occupied the bridge.
"The victory in the northern war has been decided. We are happy! We will occupy Helin and chase them for a while. We will build the fort when we turn back.
From east to west, cultivate the whole country and let the big animals out to raise. In three to five years, there will be many big animals in the Ming Dynasty.
Yichang, if you come and sit here, Hanhan will come too. It's inconvenient to talk if you're far away. "
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly, and someone next to him helped to transmit the voice and the rest of the words.
The ministers have nothing to say, the holy grace of Xiaqiu Village!
Who asked others to provide the flintlock, yellow powder, and telescope? I still don’t know how the lenses were ground.
The chief and Zhu Wentian came to Zhu Yuanzhang. The chief bowed slightly and Zhu Wentian smiled.
"Yi Chang! The victory of this battle must be attributed to Xiaqiu Village."
Zhu Yuanzhang, like Zhu Wentian, was determined not to lose, not only because of the 95,000-strong team but also the rotating flintlock guns that were sent over one after another.
This thing is invincible in close combat, and the total number sent exceeds a hundred.
When encountering the enemy, charge with all your might with flintlocks and bows. When you get close, the firepower of a hundred-man team will calm the enemy down.
"Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with Xiaqiu Village. It all depends on the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy regardless of life and death.
Many people have been unable to come back alive, but Xiaqiu Village still lives a happy life.
Without soldiers at the front, Bei Yuan would attack, and the people would be in dire straits. "
The head of the village doesn't want this credit. They are working hard there, but they themselves have done nothing.
"Yes! So we also need good weapons. We all tried the flower glasses and myopia glasses that Xiaqiu Village sent us last time. I will give you the list later."
Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic instantly. Obviously, the topic of fighting the dead was too heavy.
The flower glasses and myopia glasses he mentioned are normal ones that help people see things. Xiaqiu Village makes a batch of them according to different degrees.
Everyone should try it on, and those with presbyopia and myopia should use it. Choose the one that feels most comfortable to you and write it down.
Including the left and right eyes, if there is no problem with one eye, no lens will be placed.
The glasses are also in place in one step and have two legs that can be hung on the ears.
Chapter 6 today.
