Chapter 2048 Future War
When Fang Jun arrived at Baidaokou, the entire mountain pass position had been cleared. Xue Rengui even sent soldiers to drag away the dead animals, and brought snow from a distance not far away to spread a thick layer on the ground. , and it is impossible to see that a tragic battle has occurred here.
Xue Rengui welcomed Fang Jun into the camp and said excitedly: "This musket is very convenient during training, and its lethality is not weaker than that of a crossbow. But in actual combat, you will know that its power is even different." Fan Xiang. If Dadu Shi can escape from Evil Yang Ridge, he will definitely be given a taste of the three-stage attack!”
Fang Jun smiled.
The power of the musket... Where is this?
When primers are developed and bullets loaded in the breech are used, regardless of weather, the power of muskets will be doubled. And with the continuous improvement of gunpowder formulas, there is no need to wait for automatic weapons to appear. The simplest rifle is enough to defeat all bows. The crossbow was completely swept into the garbage pile, vigorously setting off a storm of hot weapons ravaging the world!
Of course, as a time traveler, Fang Jun knows how long and difficult the road is, but as long as he can lead the Tang Dynasty to realize the power of firearms from top to bottom, he will remain steadfast. If we promote the development of firearms, one day, the firearms of the Tang Dynasty will lead the entire world, making the Tang Empire forever stand on top of the world!
When food can supply the population explosion, the huge population base will make the Tang Dynasty the best in the world. Coupled with the power of firearms that is unparalleled in the world, who else can rival it?
At that time, we will no longer be worried about the painful disasters that foreign invasion will bring to Chinese civilization, but we will be worried about the possibility that some crazy emperor will try to dominate the world, thus bringing devastating disasters to various civilizations in the world.
However, Fang Jun was happy to hear this.
As for the common language of SINOMACH?
Well, Chinese is the most beautiful!
……
Xue Rengui looked at Fang Jun in a daze and couldn't help but wonder: "Commander, is there something wrong?"
Fang Jun woke up from YY and said: "You have seen with your own eyes the power of firearms. With continuous research and development and improvement, the power will surely be improved to a higher level. It is not surprising that one day it can completely replace weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds. I Call those weapons of the past Cold weapons, and weapons using gunpowder are called hot weapons. I dare to assert that sooner or later, this world will be an era where hot weapons will fully dominate! Whoever masters the advanced technology of hot weapons will be invincible. See Who will destroy whom?”
He patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "But things are unpredictable. Before hot weapons can demonstrate their comprehensive superiority over cold weapons, they will be subject to all kinds of slander and criticism, because any reform, It will definitely trigger resistance from some vested interests. As soldiers, we must have long-term interests. We should not give up our persistence because of temporary honor and disgrace, thereby hindering the progress of technology. At any time, we must keep in mind that the national interest is supreme, and everyone has to fight for it all his life! We must persist and even fight for the interests of the country!”
In this era, "loyalty to the emperor" is the norm and the noblest virtue. "Patriotism" is not just a slogan. Under feudal rule, "I am the country" is a universal value. "Patriotism" and "loyalty to the emperor" ” are two in one.
"Loyalty to the emperor" means "patriotism".
But in fact, everyone knows that the people, land, and political power are the meaning of a country.
As for the emperor...
It doesn’t matter who does it, as long as there is one.
Even though the emperor shouted "I am the country," people with insight knew that "the world is not a world of one family, but a world of people." , The backbone of the scholar is still there, the waist is not bent, even a poor student dares to say to the emperor, "This is the world for all people in the world," and the emperor will not think there is anything wrong with it.
The emperor is a symbol of the country and an object that requires allegiance from the world, but it does not represent the country.
However, no one has ever made such remarks as "national interests are above all else", which is almost like "rebellious ministers and traitors"...
If the emperor cannot hold the orthodoxy of "I am the country", won't the world be in chaos?
So Xue Rengui's eyes were a little erratic and his expression was a little strange...
How dare you say that!
Fang Jun made a fist with his right hand, knocked on Xue Rengui's breastplate, and said warmly: "Just keep it in your heart. Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty be in peace and stability for thousands of years!"
In his mind, everyone must work hard for the prosperity of the country, including common people, merchants, officials, soldiers, and naturally the emperor.
No one is the master of anyone, and no one can be supreme over the people.
Even if there are one or two, they will inevitably lay the root of the disaster. Even if they rely on tyranny and cruel repressive rule, however long or short it may take, the people's dissatisfaction will eventually be triggered and they will be completely overthrown.
There is history as a guide.
There is no doubt that Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang and others will become the mainstay of the Tang Empire's military after the older generation of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty gradually wither away, planting a seed in their hearts that "national interests are above all else". It will make them think about it in their hearts even if they do not make a decisive judgment when the interests of the emperor conflict with the interests of the country, instead of blindly following "foolish loyalty".
Only by allowing military backbones such as Xue Rengui to realize the power of firearms and resolutely develop firearms would they not be shelved by some wise and mighty "great emperors" as was the case in the late Ming Dynasty and the entire Qing Dynasty.
If the firearms of the late Ming Dynasty really developed to a certain level of power, even if those "great emperors" were scared to death and feared that their rule would be overthrown, how could they dare to seriously block such sharp weapons?
Xue Rengui said sternly: "Please bear this in mind, general!"
He had seen the power of firearms, but he never thought that Fang Jun's expectations for firearms were so high!
Can it completely replace swords, guns, swords and halberds and become the master of the battlefield?
This makes Xue Rengui somewhat unimaginable...
Could it be that in future wars, soldiers will go into battle carrying muskets, shoot at the enemy from a distance, and then throw a few thunderbolts?
So what kind of battle can we fight?
The old, weak, women and children can also go into battle to kill the enemy...
However, he paid great attention to Fang Jun's words and resolutely implemented them.
Fang Jun was not only kind to him, but also reduced him to the lowest level. He also admired him wholeheartedly with his jaw-dropping talents and foresight. He regarded every word of Fang Jun as a model. , keep it in mind.
The two discussed in detail the advantages and disadvantages of using firearms in actual combat. Although Fang Jun had memories of his previous life, he had a foresight on the applicability of firearms, and the advantages and disadvantages were well known. Xue Rengui also devoted himself to studying firearms tactics. Fang Jun was also deeply impressed by the opinions he put forward from time to time.
Xue Rengui even gave a deeper analysis of the "three-stage attack"...
"...Muskets are easy to carry and more powerful than crossbows. The shortcoming that restricts them from becoming a standing weapon in the army is that the loading of gunpowder and lead bullets is not as convenient as crossbows. So, Marshal, you developed the 'three-stage attack' The method of warfare is to form a group of three people. The musketeer at the front fires, then retreats to the back of the team to concentrate on loading ammunition, and the second soldier steps forward to fire. The three of them alternately load and fire, which shortens the original shooting time by three times, and naturally increases the efficiency by three times! ”
Saying that, Xue Rengui simply moved the debris on the table and took out the teacups from the tea tray one by one and placed them on the table...
"Such as this, we don't have to stick to the form. The three-stage attack is just an array, and it can be evolved into a six-stage attack or even a nine-stage attack according to local conditions... And I don't think that if we are facing cavalry, infantry holding muskets will also Can line If we form a formation with three to four rows of soldiers and use three-stage attacks in a rotating array to maximize our firepower advantage, even if the enemy has thousands of troops, they will be wiped out before the gun array and cannot get even one step closer to our position.”
Fang Jun was really surprised this time.
Mother!
Are you a time traveler or am I a time traveler? !
Te Niang's ability to draw inferences from one instance to other cases is not small, and she even figured out the tactics of line infantry...
During the Napoleonic era, line infantry tactics were used in armies.
Soldiers at that time were mainly equipped with smoothbore flintlock muskets and sleeve-type bayonets, and marched and fired in two to four rows. Because the inaccuracy of firearms and the difficulty of loading at that time made it particularly important to use them in groups and shoot at closer ranges. During the era of European colonization of the world, this tactic was widely used and brought devastating disasters to indigenous peoples around the world.
Because this tactic was neatly arranged when facing the enemy, people in later generations gave it a very vivid and appropriate name——
