Chapter 1995 Gui Zi Juan flowers are blooming continuously, which can lead to prosperity or death.
If the recapture of Linqing brought more psychological influence to the people in the capital city, then in the northern part of Shandong Province it was a real benefit.
The entire section north of Linqing City, from Linqing through Wucheng, Gucheng and Dezhou, immediately became alive with ships and goods flowing, and there was a lot of joy.
Dongchang Prefecture south of Linqing was in a state of turmoil, and a sense of precarity suddenly permeated the entire Shandong Southern Army.
Although the imperial army has not yet launched an attack on Dongchang Prefecture, looking at the distance from Linqing to Dongchang Prefecture, and looking at the approaching imperial troops from Guan County and Shen County to the west, everyone predicted that Dongchang The government will be recovered sooner or later.
The Southern Army is no longer able to defend the line from Dongchang Prefecture to Jinan Prefecture, and it is inevitable to withdraw to the south of Anshan Lake and Dongping Prefecture.
Of course, He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji also knew the great significance of the Linqing battle. It can be seen from the fact that the Datong Army quickly abandoned Wucheng for fear of being attacked from the north and the south, while the Dezhou Datong Army also took the initiative to evacuate after hesitating. This battle was fought in It hit the key points of the entire Datong Army and made the Datong Army suspicious of the inside of the city where they were stationed.
This greatly shook their determination to continue to defend, and even had a huge impact on the morale of Niu Jizong's Xuanfu army in Jining.
The group of commandos led by Busia Mara played a special role in the siege of Linqing. Although Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen both firmly believed that without this commando, they could still capture Linqing, because after Luo Dingbiao decided to surrender At that time, the fate of Linqing City was decided, no more than the sacrifices made.
He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji were also full of curiosity about the female general who came with Feng Ziying's autograph letter.
This woman, who is said to be the number one Jurchen general in Haixi, usually wears an iron mask that covers the bridge of her nose. Only Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen have seen her true face. She has a wide forehead and cheeks, a high nose, and a wide mouth and plump lips. She has the unique charm of a foreign woman.
This woman is a head taller than an ordinary man. Although she usually hides her figure with a cloak, but after wearing her helmet and armor, you can still see that this woman is full of strength. The unique shape of the full moon The machete is a bloodthirsty weapon that can buy lives in close combat.
Several officers in the army who thought they were good at martial arts all wanted to compete with this female general, but without exception they were defeated in just three or five moves.
Both He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji could see that they were still holding back, otherwise in such a desperate situation on the battlefield, they might be able to kill you with just one or two moves.
However, He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji still felt that this woman seemed not to care much about her own martial arts. After the war, she was more interested in the musketry and artillery teams under her command.
During this period of time, they had many contacts. Both He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji were very attracted to each other's bold and generous personality. In addition, she brought Feng Ziying's autographed letter, so they had nothing to hide or reserve from each other and basically knew everything.
"The three-stage shooting skills of the Fire Gun Team were drafted by Mr. Feng himself and then revised and improved several times. The main consideration was the burning speed of the match rope of the Fire Gun and the training proficiency of the soldiers. However, in any case, this is relatively important to the fire gun team. Compared with training to become a qualified archer, it is not worth mentioning. Three months of training, as long as you are not too stupid and the training volume is enough, you can basically pass. If it can be supplemented by enough live ammunition training , then you can basically go into battle. For Great Zhou, the most indispensable thing is soldiers, so..."
He Huchen was still discussing with Busia Mara the deployment and application tactics of the Fire Gun Team.
"…, the Eagle-billed Gun, also known as the Turtle Dove Gun, is a bit special. It is too heavy, inconvenient to operate, and requires more soldiers. However, its range is far stronger than ordinary fire guns, so Taichu and I both agree, You don’t need too much quantity, but you need to have the ability to deliver a decisive and devastating blow, especially in a head-on confrontation. A vicious blow can severely damage or even destroy the enemy’s confidence, which also requires a certain quantity and high efficiency..."
Especially since Da Zhou has endless reserves of soldiers, if the manufacturing capabilities of firecrackers and artillery are not restricted, then she does not believe that the Jianzhou Jurchens can defeat Da Zhou, and even want to gain the upper hand over Da Zhou in Liaodong. Not possible either.
Even the Jianzhou Jurchens are also equipped with this kind of firecrackers and artillery, but compared with the endless strategic resources of the Zhou Dynasty, even if they exchange ten for one, the Jianzhou Jurchens can be exterminated.
Perhaps the only advantage the Jurchens have in Liaodong is their adaptability to climate and familiarity with geography, but this is not the decisive factor.
Busia Mara is no longer the immature woman who just sat in the well and watched the sky in the Haixi Jurchen land a few years ago. In the past few years, she has seen and heard all kinds of things in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion. , and even the various things she had never seen before or even imagined because of that man made her wake up from a dream.
As a military general, Busia Mara is naturally most interested in all elements related to war, so in Yongping Mansion she saw the power of fire guns and the training of fire guns, and then also saw the regular army's reliance on logistics. .
She also saw the establishment of a huge military industrial system, especially the giant steel workshops and complex mineral processing, calcination, purification and other processes, which made her feel an irresistible feeling of powerlessness.
Seeing that Busia Mara was a little distracted, He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji exchanged glances and said, "Busiya Mara, actually your Yehe tribe is not suitable for our kind of equipment. You don't have enough troops, and your population is a natural limit, and you guys The innate habit of using bows and arrows is actually more suitable for the existing system,..."
"I know, but if we face the Jianzhou Jurchens who are also good at riding and shooting, and they have also obtained a large number of Han people from Liaodong, and can equip them with muskets and even artillery, we will have almost no chance of winning or even protecting ourselves." Busia Mara said calmly: "But your Liaodong Town only knows how to protect yourself, guard the long border wall, and hide behind the border wall. Although you keep saying you want to support us, when the Jianzhou Jurchens really want to attack us, Your little support is still useful, is it still too late?"
He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji looked at each other. This topic was too big for them to talk.
Both of them are only general-level generals in the northern army. Not to mention them, even higher-level generals like You Shilu are not qualified to dictate the strategic deployment of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty in Liaodong. It's just a matter of talking privately with colleagues with whom I'm close.
In the entire Northern Army Corps, only Sun Chengzong, who has been granted the title of Minister of War, is barely qualified to make suggestions. However, he is not a real Minister of War. He is only held the title of Minister of War to facilitate the command of the army. Therefore, his status cannot express opinions at will. Of course, if Whether it was discussed in private, or the ministers of the Ministry of War specifically solicited opinions, that is another matter.
Yang Zhaoji pondered for a moment and then continued: "Busiya Mara, we understand what you said, but we can't answer it. Liaodong Town is an important town on nine sides of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It has enough troops and equipment to meet all challenges. I remember Mr. Feng It has been said that Zhou's retreat at Kuandian Liubao was the biggest mistake Li Chengliang made. This gave Nurhaci a wrong impression. Before Governor Feng took office as the governor of Jiliao, many military officers in Liaodong Town had lost their ability to serve as the Great Zhou. The basic qualities of a warrior are what led to the fall of Fushun Pass, and Liaodong Town needs an adjustment period..."
Bushiya Mara snorted and laughed, "Mr. Yang, how long will this adjustment period take? Does it have to wait until all the Haixi Jurchens fall into the hands of Nurhachi?"
Yang Zhaoji smiled awkwardly, "Just kidding, but Bushiya Mara, you have also seen that the main focus of the court now is to capture Shandong as soon as possible, and then pacify Jiangnan. I believe that as long as Jiangnan is solved, the court will be free to deal with it. Jianzhou Jurchen is here.”
Bushiya Mara shook her head a little lonely, "I know this is not something you can solve, but I hope to get some muskets and artillery, especially artillery, so that when we face the Jurchen attack in Jianzhou, It can also play some role when defending the city.”
He Huchen frowned, "Busiya Mara, you should know that our fire cannons are allocated by the Ministry of War. They are all registered and the quantity is limited. Moreover, the fire cannons also need projectiles, gunpowder and some related parts. Otherwise, Even if I give you a few, they won't work if you take them back. If you really want them, you should go find Mr. Feng. As far as I know, the output of the Gyeonggi Military Manufacturing Factory is still increasing. Five hundred muskets and ten or eight artillery pieces may be their output for a few days. As long as Mr. Feng can make an agreement with the Ministry of War, this will not be a problem at all."
After all, she still had to go find him. Busia Mara nodded silently and subconsciously stroked her belly. Tiangui hadn't come yet. It seemed that more than ten days had passed, but her own Tiangui was not very accurate to begin with. , there were situations a few days earlier and a few days later, but this time it was a little different. It was more than ten days late. Busia Mara felt that her chest was also a little swollen, and there was still a little blood from the battle that day. She felt nauseous, which made her a little worried whether she had it?
Counting the days, I happened to have **** with him the night before I left the capital city and came south. If it was that night, then the days would be almost the same.
Busia Mara was a little irritated. News came from Liaodong that the Jianzhou Women were preparing for war on a large scale. It seemed that they were going to attack Liaodong Town, but Busia Mara had a feeling that this time the Ye He tribe I'm afraid I'm in trouble.
