Chapter 701: Are You Really Descending or False?
Seeing the power of the new muskets, the faces of the generals began to be solemn.
They began to realize the seriousness of the problem, but they were stubborn, and they still firmly believed that maybe this musket could indeed restrain the infantry, but it was still useless against the Qing cavalry.
Because the speed of the cavalry is faster (the speed of the light horse is about 40 kilometers per hour, but the cavalry combat lies in the overall coordination, that is to say, all the horses in a cavalry can not be excellent horses, and they have to be slowed down by the horses, which can be controlled at a speed of 30 per hour is already good, and it is elite to 35, which is the principle of shortcomings, and how much water a bucket can hold depends on its shortest plank).
Time passed, and a quarter of the incense quickly burned out.
Hong Chengchou's face was already very gloomy, and he silently counted in his heart, the musketeers fired a total of sixteen times, which means that if you count from one hundred and fifty paces (about two hundred meters), the charging infantry must withstand at least three musket volleys before touching the musketeers, which is very terrifying for the infantry.
Because from the moment of the first shot, the charging infantry will have a stagnation.
After all, it's human, and fear causes a knee-jerk pause.
It was still theoretical to withstand three musket salvos, and it was really on the battlefield, at least four rounds.
Four rounds, most likely, will not hold out at all, and the whole army will collapse.
The chamberlains took off their armor, which stood one hundred and fifty paces away, and carried it up the steps of the temple for the king's inspection by the courtiers.
This is not heavy armor, but ordinary infantry armor, made of leather and cotton linen, and protected by iron scales at key points such as the chest and abdomen.
At this time, the bullet holes of the leather and cotton linen showed that the projectile had been pierced, and the iron scales that were hit formed one after another pits, which showed that one hundred and fifty steps away, the projectile still had a strong lethality, and the kinetic energy of the iron scales into pits was enough to cause injury to the armor-piercing soldiers, and even break bones.
After reading the Qing court, the monarchs and ministers silently returned to the palace.
After entering the hall, Fu Lin's first sentence asked: "Shen Qing's family, how many musketeers are under Wu Zheng's command?" β
Shen Zhiyuan replied: "Wu Zheng has already stockpiled 30,000 muskets, but it is only because of continuous battles and lack of time to train that he has not formed a large number of musket troops. But before the minister went north, the Jiangnan Military Academy had been established, and the musketeers were already training ....... β
Yue Le was no longer arrogant at this time, he took a long breath and said, "Fortunately, the training has not been long enough, and I am afraid it will take time to become an army." β
Shen Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Does this general know that Wu Zheng has only trained for less than twenty days to annihilate the musketeers used by a thousand cavalry in Dantu, and half of that time is still ...... on the march. β
These words made everyone, including Fu Lin, Hong Chengchou, and even the Manchen generals who had always been disdainful of Shen Zhiyuan, all face change drastically.
In less than 20 days, this is incredible, but the facts are in front of us, and we can't help but believe it.
Qian Qiaogong over there was already displeased, but when he heard Shen Zhiyuan talking, his face turned blue with anger.
Shen Zhiyuan continued to make up for it, "It is conceivable that if peace talks with the Yixing Dynasty are held, Wu Zheng will have enough time to train musketeers, and it will not be too long, in a month, there will be 30,000 musketeers gathered under his command." This is the reason why the minister replied to Lord Hong before that he should fight. β
There was a dead silence in the hall, and this was definitely not a trivial matter.
It is related to the strategy and goals of the Qing Dynasty.
Hong Chengchou said in a timely manner: "The minister implores the emperor to temporarily withdraw from the dynasty and leave it for tomorrow to discuss again." β
After a while, Fu Lin responded: "Just according to what Hong Qing said." β
β¦β¦γ
Shen Zhiyuan, Qian Qiaogong and Sui Hu were arranged in the Xianliang Temple in Mingzhaofang.
Speaking of which, when the Ming Dynasty was not dead, this was the famous Ten Kings' Mansion.
The carved fence and jade masonry are still there, but Zhu Yan has changed.
Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong naturally didn't sigh about this, and they didn't feel that way.
Local officials in the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to stay in inns and restaurants casually when they entered Beijing, but if anyone dared to violate it, it was equivalent to sending bullets to the official of Kedaoyan, and he would be impeached, with 50 blows on the ass at the least, and dismissal from the post at the worst.
Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, the officials' salaries were relatively low, which was the result of Ming Taizu's hatred of the rich.
The consumption of inn liquor in the capital is high, so as soon as you live in the inn liquor store, it is obvious that you are a corrupt official, who can be so stupid that you don't admit yourself?
If you can't stay in a guest house, where can you stay?
Guild halls in the capital?
That's even worse, this is tantamount to local officials forming gangs and colluding with Beijing officials, which is a big crime, and it can't be done with a few spanks.
There is a saying that "the hotel Qingzun is oblique day by day, and the partridge cries at the guest home." In the evening, the rouge rain in the corner of the wall, and the mountain peaches are full of trees and flowers. β
This is the feeling of desolation, helplessness, and fear when a magistrate enters Beijing.
Where to live, temples, Taoist temples.
In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's cultivation went mad, the so-called good on the top must be very good, the temples and Taoist temples in the capital are definitely more than inns, and there is no connection with the imaginary "green lantern dry Buddha".
The place of monks, quiet, leisurely, picturesque, the key is that the food is also good, even if there are colleagues to visit, you can also give back a cup of tea, showing their frank and open mind, so that the emperor is very relieved, so that the imperial history has nothing to say, why not?
Originally, Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong's level could not live in Xianliang Temple.
It's just that today's original decree was made by Shen Zhiyuan's serious nonsense, and it was made yellow.
The Ministry of Rites ran out of options, and in desperation, they were stuffed into the Xianliang Temple.
Anyway, the Ming Dynasty is also dead, and the Ten Princes' Mansion has long been a yellow flower of yesterday, so there is no more control or no more control.
Walk on the gravel path of KenryΕji Temple.
Seeing that there was no one around, Qian Qiaogong couldn't hold it anymore.
"Shen Zhiyuan, tell me, are you really descending or fake?" Qian Qiaogong was really annoyed, Shen Zhiyuan completely revealed the benefits of the musket to the Qing court, which is a betrayal of military secrets.
If he hadn't known Shen Zhiyuan's temperament, if he had changed someone, Qian Qiaogong might have strangled him on the spot.
Shen Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Qian Qiaogong, whose eyes were breathing fire, hehe.
Then with his hands on his back, he walked forward with a figure-eight step.
There is also a small song in his mouth, and this style can be accompanied by a sentence "I am a loose person in Wollongong, and I rely on yin and yang to Baoding Qiankun...... β
But this frame style annoyed Qian Qiaogong, who was already angry.
Qian Qiaogong finally made a move, and he saw too much kicking around Wu Zheng, but it's a pity, it's a pity, Shen Zhiyuan is used to Wu Zheng's kicking, and now he has already formed a kind of dodge instinct, even if Wu Zheng does it here, it is difficult to kick it, if he is really kicked, either he is caught off guard, or Shen Zhiyuan wants to be a sycophant and is deliberately kicked.
Just imagine, how could Qian Qiaogong, who learned Wu Zhengchu's "tricks", get his wish?
