Is it possible that the Nanyang-made artillery is not suitable?

No.

Chen Mu can feel that as a junior, he is very attracted to Qi Jiguang, after all, not everyone is as skilled as him, Qi Shuai's inventions are all gradual under the existing conditions, and all kinds of ordnance are reasonably arranged to achieve the best results.

He overturned the original number of roads and found another way, new guns, new guns and new armor, which is not very interesting for Qi Jiguang.

During his visit to the camp the next day, Chen Mu learned another trick from Qi Jiguang, and Qi Jiguang actually dressed the camp.

Chen Mu's flag army backpack was tied with a tent cloth, Qi Jiguang asked the marching baggage team to carry the tent cloth, and it was the kind that was larger than Chen Mu's tent cloth.

Qi Jiguang said that this was not to hide traces, but to intimidate the enemy, so that the enemy could see from afar that our army had built a fortress and scare them into preparing siege equipment, so as to give the sergeants in his battalion time to react.

Although it may not be done very carefully, but two or three miles away, who can tell whether this is a real city or a fake city?

Chen Mu felt that it was already like this, and it would be okay to click on the camouflage technology tree again!

It's just that what Chen Mu didn't expect was that after Qi Jiguang used the artillery he made, he appreciated the Franco machine even more, and the Nanyang Demon modified the Franco machine.

"It is powerful and long-range, it is a good artillery, but it is not suitable for northern Xinjiang. Qi heard that General Chen built this cannon for ship warfare? This thousand-pound heavy cannon is mounted on the ship, the power is incomparable, and the enemy ship can be blown out, but there is no ship available in the north, and Qi wants a thousand pounds of wolf machine just to suppress the enemy's morale and make him afraid. ”

"No matter how precise the system of the cannon is, if it is shot 600 paces or 800 paces away, there are deviations, if a cannon misses, the cannon charge will be wiped, and the captives have rushed to the front." These words were said by Qi Jiguang when he wiped the barrel with a bucket after sending out two cannons with a new cannon, "If you gather more than ten artillery pieces to the high ground and bombard them together, it's just this Great Wall fortress." ”

Qi Jiguang shook his head, passed slowly to the side of the Jinshanling Great Wall, and said with a wry smile: "If you want to use artillery to fill it with a fool's dream, an enemy platform has three wolf cannons, and eighteen bullets are fired in an instant, Qi is satisfied!" ”

Chen Mu blinked, what Qi Jiguang meant was that the firepower overflowed.

"In this case, you need four, three Franc machines, one doesn't matter if it's a five-pound cannon, it's okay to squat. Qi Shuai, because you still have this. Although the newly-made Nanyang cannon was regarded by Qi Jiguang as not suitable for urban warfare, Chen Mu was not discouraged, groped for a moment from the gun carriage and took out a large cylinder, and then said to himself: "Wrong, this is ten catties, wait, there is!" ”

A cylinder that was two circles smaller than before, and the small wooden cylinder on the top was blocked by a coarse cloth, which was weighed twice by Chen Mu in his hand, and smiled at Qi Jiguang: "Qi Shuai, this is for a five-pound cannon, containing thirty iron pellets, supplemented by this big iron bullet." ”

Chen Mu had a loose bullet in his left hand and a large iron bullet in his right hand, first showing his right hand and then showing his left hand: "It can attack from a distance, but also can defend at close range." ”

Qi Jiguang had a smile on his face, he knew why the three people who had mentioned Chen Mu to him thought that he should meet this young general from Guangdong, because it was just right.

Qi Jiguang is no matter how big or small, the development of the Ming Dynasty to this time, there are not too many that can be called scientific, one is politics, the second is medicine, and the third is the army.

Needless to say, politics has been studied for thousands of years, and this has long been a discipline in China, and it has been studied in detail. Medicine advanced by leaps and bounds after the Yuan Dynasty, and was divided into 13 departments in the Yuan Dynasty and 11 departments in the Ming Dynasty until Li Shizhen further determined the use of prescriptions and reached a standard; The last military is in Qi Jiguang's writings.

There is a saying in later generations: laymen talk about strategy, insiders talk about logistics.

Qi Jiguang refined his soldiers down to how to eat, how to sing, how to buy vegetables, and even how to take war horses to cool off in summer and how to take war horses to keep warm in winter, he didn't have to talk about how to fight at all.

In Qi Jiguang's opinion, Chen Mu is obviously too rough for the military, this kind of coarseness is not bad, just like the famous southern general Liu Xian is also very rough, and he gallops fiercely between the days and nights, as long as Liu Xian takes the horse and raises the knife in front of the battle, his subordinates can give him a death force, which is everyone's characteristic.

And Chen Mu is reflected in his concerns, he pays attention to how thick the cannon is and how thick the armor is, in Qi Jiguang's opinion, this is the best guerrilla general in the imperial court.

However, it was impossible for the imperial court to grant him the official position of guerrilla general, and unless he made a mistake, he would not be awarded the rank of guerrilla general.

Qi Jiguang looked at Chen Mu, who was holding two kinds of shells, smiled, raised his hand and patted the barrel of the cannon and asked, "General Chen, how much does your cannon cost when it is transported from Nanyangwei?" ”

"Four thousand miles of road, one hundred artillery pieces, five hundred soldiers to transport, five hundred soldiers to defend, one hundred and fifty mules and horses, more than four thousand stones of grain in March, three thousand taels of silver." Chen Mu saw that Qi Jiguang still wanted Nanyangwei to continue to transport artillery, so he said: "The grain consumption is supplied by the county governments in various places, which is nothing, and the biggest loss is the mules and horses." ”

Chen Mu said and took out his notebook and flipped through the report: "After ten days of marching, the soldiers are not tired, the road is full of laughter, and the journey is seventy or eighty miles a day; After marching for twenty days, the soldiers were tired, and the mules and horses were also lacking, and they marched forty or fifty miles a day; By the 30th day the man would not be able to walk, and the mule would have to be dragged by force before leaving, and by this time the army would march again, and it would be very hard to walk 30 miles a day. ”

"After that, you have to rest for four or five days before you can continue to move forward." Chen Mu closed his notes and said, "If you can prepare 450 mules and horses and 1,500 soldiers in the middle of the road to escort the artillery in three sections, then there is almost no road consumption, and the escort speed can be a little faster." ”

After passing through the counties, only thirty or forty stone of grain were needed for each place, and if the soldiers in the middle were replaced and they could rest their feet, the artillery that could only be delivered once in March or even June could be increased to once every two months, then a year...... Chen Mu spread his five fingers and said: "It can send 400 cannons to the northern Xinjiang in a year." ”

Qi Jiguang didn't expect Chen Mu to say so much at all, Chen Mu rushed to say it up and down, but there was nothing that could be added by him, he was really stunned for a long time, and simply skipped this topic: "I heard that your flag army is well trained, Qi was also a guard officer at the earliest, and he didn't train the guard army well, you are stronger than me, and the northern Xinjiang is at the time of employing people, and I don't know when to commit the border again." ”

"Jingshi is a big dye vat, anything that comes in will be broken, Qi and Tan Junmen set up a car camp, they need Nanyang Wei new artillery, the artillery must be built and transported, and the thieves must be attacked and killed, you can't leave at this time."

"You and the 500 banner army under your command, take turns to be a squad army for a year, how about guarding Changping, Nanyang Wei Zhangyin Commander Envoy, General Zhao Yong, and General Chen."

Well?

Chen Mu was a little confused.

"Mr. Chen?"

"Yes, Deputy Chief Chen." Qi Jiguang clapped his hands very seriously, looking at the clouds and sky high in the distance, "Below the general army, they are all controlled by Qi. Changping is not an easy place to guard, General Chen, can you shoulder such a heavy responsibility? 2k reading network
