Chapter 310

"What are the advantages of the barbarians over Dayu?"

On the test field of the military workshop, Xiao Ming asked Niu Zhen.

"Barbarian cavalry, of course." Niu said.

Lu Fei also nodded, "and the barbarian cavalry are skilled in bow and horse, but it takes us a few years to train a cavalry. Once consumed in the war, we will lose a lot and can't organize the attack again for a long time."

Xiao Ming nodded, "what you said is all right. Whether it's cavalry, Archer or shield hand, Dayu country needs several years of training to narrow the gap with barbarian soldiers in one-on-one, but barbarians don't need training, because they are qualified soldiers when they grow up, and they have more than ten years of training. That's why Dayu country has a long history The reason for the barbarians' retreat. "

"But it's different now."

Xiao Ming took the flint gun and said, "it only takes three months for the king to let an ordinary people easily kill a barbarian cavalry, which means that the bow horse riding and shooting trained by barbarians since childhood has no effect in front of the flint gun."

Niu Zhen and Lu Fei nodded slowly. It doesn't take much strength to fire a flint gun. As long as they can pull the trigger, they can kill people.

Chen Qi, Zhang Liu and others have proved this point.

"Your Highness finally understood, but this flint hair gun accurate head is so bad, how can we deal with the barbarian cavalry?" Asked Niu Zhen.

"That's the need for large-scale equipment and musketry." Xiao Ming said, "the way you used to fight is going to be a thing of the past. Now go to Bowen college to study."

Niu Zhen and Lu Fei are embarrassed.

The emergence of artillery has changed their mode of operation. Now that flint guns are produced, their mode of operation will change again.

Now they feel that they can't keep up with Xiao Ming.

But as long as they can deal with the barbarians, they will do anything.

At the military workshop, Niu Zhen and Lu Fei had a preliminary contact with the main combat equipment of the future Qingzhou army. Xiao Ming relaxed.

The rest is about production, packing and training. After all, weapons are still used by human beings. If the training can't keep up with them, the flint guns are also burning sticks in their hands.

"Your Highness, with the flint gun now, isn't the gun less important?" Chen Qi is a bit sour. He also wants to participate in the development of more weapons.

Xiao Ming glared at him, "your biggest problem now is that you can't chew too much. The importance of artillery will not change, and it will only become more important. You should calm down and think about the application of artillery in the battlefield."

"Your Highness is talking about field guns?" Chen Qi said with a sudden smile.

"That's right. Once the guns are loaded, the Qingzhou army will fight with the barbarians on the grassland. The heavy cannons on the wall are useless." Xiao Ming said.

Chen Qi nodded. In fact, he has been thinking about the field artillery for a long time. Now that the flint gun is coming, he has to grasp it.

He also ordered the military workshop to focus on the production of flint guns, and Xiao Ming returned to the palace.

Now that the flint gun has been successfully produced, what he has to consider is the strategic issue of Qingzhou in the future.

Now the barbarians occupy Youzhou, which was once the hometown of the state of Dayu. This is tantamount to putting a knife in the heart of the state of Dayu.

At this time, the Japanese on the East China Sea were ready to move again. If the barbarians and the Japanese really attack each other on both sides, he would be defeated on both sides.

So he had to drive the barbarians out of Youzhou. In this way, the barbarians could not bypass Jizhou and attack Qingzhou from the flank, and the pressure of Cangzhou would disappear.

At that time, he could spare no effort to develop the Navy, clean up Japan and Korea, open up the sea trade routes, and transport his goods from the sea to the southern states of Dayu.

After all, his commodities are just flowing north of the Yangtze River, but the market south of the Yangtze River is not very profitable.

Thinking all the way, Xiao Ming returned to the palace.

When aster saw Xiao Ming coming back, he said with a smile on his face, "Congratulations, your highness. Your highness will be married in December this year."

"What are you talking about?"

Xiao Ming is in a good mood after he has just tested his flint gun. At this time, he laughs with aster.

Aster said with a smile: "Your Highness, aster doesn't talk nonsense. Shi Lang Feng is waiting for his highness in the main hall. It is said that the emperor's will to marry has come down, and his highness will be married this year."

"Is Mr. Feng here?" Xiao Ming frowned. He didn't get any news of Feng Deshui coming to Qingzhou before.

However, since Feng Deshui came to Qingzhou himself, something important must have happened. He quickly walked into the main hall.

"Your Highness."

In the main hall, Feng Deshui is pacing back and forth. When Xiao Ming comes in, Feng Deshui comes to Xiao Ming.

"Mr. Feng." Xiao Ming exchanged greetings and said, "why didn't Feng Shilang say hello when he came to Qingzhou this time

Feng Deshui said: "Your Highness, don't dig at the old slave. When you come to Qingzhou this time, the old slave is here to report both good and bad news. If you come in a hurry, you don't need to make such empty gifts.""Oh?" Xiao Ming put away his smile and asked, "in that case, Mr. Feng, please tell me."

Feng Deshui said: "the good news is naturally decided by his Highness's marriage to Fei yue'er, the youngest daughter of Fei Zhongshu. This year's eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is his Highness's big happy day. As for the bad news, his highness doesn't know whether he has already known it. The barbarians have built two kinds of cannons, one is called wuerban siege cannon, and the other is called Weiwu cannon, Knowing this, your majesty stayed up for several nights. The barbarians' riding and shooting have already made the state of Dayu miserable. Now they have more guns. What can we do? "

"So it is." Xiao Ming's heart sank. It seems that the news Wang Xuan brought back is right.

"Your Highness has also learned?" Feng Deshui asked.

Xiao Ming nodded.

Feng Deshui sighed, "now that your highness knows this, the old slave will be relieved. But the point is not this, but your Majesty's intention to move the capital."

"Moving the capital?" Xiao Ming was surprised.

Feng Deshui seems to have a premonition that Xiao Ming will have such a reaction. He said: "in the face of barbarians, Chang'an has no danger to defend, but the king of Zhao can't rely on. Now the barbarians are adding sharp weapons, ready to move. The next time they raise their troops, they will be fierce. Your majesty is also thinking about the safety of millions of people in Chang'an and the royal family."

Hearing this, Xiao Ming gave a wry smile. In fact, the matter of moving the capital was not mentioned by Xiao Wenxuan when he was an emperor. Several previous emperors had discussed it.

Facing the barbarians, Chang'an is always in danger.

Now that Xiao Wenxuan learned that the barbarians had made guns, he must feel that Chang'an city could not stop the barbarians' guns.
