Chapter 745: The Exercise Begins
After a few simple greetings, Han Qi inadvertently mentioned this fortress, starting from the function of this fortress, and asked to go up and have a look.
Zhao Xin smiled slightly, as soon as Han Qi said this, he understood what Han Qi meant, Zhao Xin was ready to Liwei at the beginning, this Liwei is a real Liwei, not a cheat, of course he agreed without hesitation, but he had to wait until the previous few items were over, because this was a necessary item in the exercise.
Since Han Qi arrived here, he didn't stop to observe Zhao Xin, wanting to see from Zhao Xin what was different in the Dinghai Navy.
But the difference between the Dinghai Navy is destined to transcend this era, not to mention an outsider like Han Qi, many officials in the middle of the Dinghai Navy are not easy to fully understand the Dinghai.
Han Qi is only 41 years old now, and he is still very young, although he cannot be said to be the youngest Zaifu in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, let alone the youngest Zaifu in Chinese history, but he is one of the few young and powerful people in the entire Chinese history.
Dingjun is in a period of great change, because the Northern Song Dynasty, which has a close relationship with Dingjun, is also in a period of great change, and there are great changes in all aspects.
Now, it can't be said that there is a problem of the status of the history, even if there is no incursion of the navy, Han Qi's status in history is very high, and he is also in the dynasty of Renzong, and he has taken the position of the first assistant, but it is 7 years earlier.
For such a stable government in the Northern Song Dynasty, 7 years is quite a long time, at the same time, Han Qi, who has reached the peak of power, is not a one-time tour, Renzong as the longest reigning emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, a total of 40 years in power, but in the forty years of time, simply slaughtering and caressing, on the change of the lantern, in the center of power is relatively long, there is Lu Yijian in the front, Han Qi in the back, at the same time, Han Qi also has the merit of supporting, after the death of Renzong, became the elder of the three dynasties.
Such a status made Han Qi play a very big role in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, especially in the relationship between Renzong and Shenzong. He is also quite special, because the change is very big, relatively flexible, a change from a young man, to a conservative when the Divine Sect, this change in the middle, can not be called self-interest, many things will be seen relatively thoroughly.
After cooperating with Zhao Xin, Han Qi did a very good job of many things that Zhao Xin wanted to gravitate towards, above Zhao Xin's estimate.
For example, in the northwest, in the south, and in Youyun, if there is an opportunity to merge Liao and Song into one in the future, then Han Qi is the best choice for prime minister.
Young, strong execution, more accepting new things, and the most important thing is that it is more compatible with Zhao Xin, and it is relatively close.
The Northern Song Dynasty raised scholars for a hundred years, in many ways, there have been inherent things, to Renzong this dynasty began a big outbreak, after the imperial examination, for the officials, layer by layer of grinding, and finally came out of the outstanding officials, are all a moment of handsome, such people, as long as they accept some of the system of the navy, after they absorb and transform, the final results, is much higher than the existing officials of the navy.
Under the premise of the gradual expansion of the Dinghai Navy, Zhao Xin felt more and more that his own ability could no longer handle the myriad affairs of the entire Dinghai Navy, so it became inevitable to gradually increase the authority of the middle level or even the lower level.
In this inevitability, if the future is really smooth, the official system of the Northern Song Dynasty, compared with the Dinghai Navy, except for some problems in solidification and acceptance, there are no other problems.
Look at the current officials of the navy, whether it is Xue Yu, Sun Ji, or other civilian officials, their foundations are too weak, and their future development prospects are not good.
Han Qi didn't know that Zhao Xin would think so, if he knew, he would definitely be terrified, before taking the Liao State, he was thinking about annexing the Northern Song Dynasty, although Zhao Xin had this ability, but the entire Northern Song Dynasty was not a blank sheet of paper, it was a real, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of people, a big country with a complex system, this country, it was not so easy to integrate.
After Zhao Xin greeted him, he briefly introduced the key points of this exercise, which is also an exercise similar to the military parade in later generations, the front is the content of the parade, but at the end, the part of attacking the fortress is added, which is also the most important part.
When he knew that he would put the fortress at the end, Han Qi was relieved, and after asking, the team of technicians from the fortress was still at least 20 miles away, and it might take more than half an hour to arrive, and then asked Zhao Xin if he could start the exercise, and the exercise began soon.
The first item, according to the tradition of the Dinghai Navy, is actually a military training project of Zhao Xin's university, the queue.
This project is a foundation for the entire army, even in the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, there will be similar military formations, but that is to pay attention to the camp, many times, the difference is fine, even if it is an elite forbidden army, it is already good to be able to rush up, according to the command, advance and retreat in an orderly manner.
But similar to Dingjun, line by row, column, marching, pursuing to an extremely demanding degree, even Han Qi was a little stunned, why nitpicking, this is completely meaningless.
Zhao Xin is not a soldier, and he doesn't understand the meaning of military training, but these experiences that have been summed up after countless blood, failures, and finally are widely used in war.
The more such a long-range attack is covered, the higher the requirements for the camp and for discipline, because the huge effect brought by discipline has been clearly shown on the longbow, and even more so on the musket.
While watching the queue training, Han Qi's eyes clearly noticed the weapon in the hands of each phalanx.
Sure enough, as Jia Wu said, short, some are like short guns, and there are blades on them, which are said to be guns, and some are too short, said to be knives, but overall, there are very few blades, it seems that some secret agents have said that this is long-range shooting, but it seems that there is no bowstring, what do you have to rely on for long-range shooting.
Han Qi took the initiative to mention it to Zhao Xin, but Zhao Xin smiled slightly, and only said that he would know in a while, Han Qi's curiosity was aroused, but he could only suppress it.
The queue was just a display of style and prohibition, but only a drill of about 20 phalanxes was carried out, and the rest of the phalanxes were all standing like trees, stable as a mountain, which made Han Qi feel the elite of the navy.
Neat and obey orders, this is at the beginning of the establishment of the Ding Navy, engraved in the bones, the Ding Navy is different from the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty, this is a comprehensive, professional army, the same, the training is very hard, at the same time the food is also very good, comprehensive protein nutrition, coupled with scientific training methods, to create the entire Ding Navy army, the investment in the middle, far from the Northern Song Dynasty can imagine, to feed a soldier invested in the capital, is more than 30 times that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and even the equipment is more than 10 times.
After the queue training, it was almost half an hour away, and those who were in the rear, coming slowly, also arrived, and they were also the same as the Ding Navy, standing up and lining up, there was no comparison, there was no harm, Di Qing, these generals, the personal soldiers they brought were the most elite in the entire army, but the simple queue was quickly compared by the other party.
Before they arrived, the other party didn't know how long they had been standing here, and even said that it had been almost an hour since they saw this queue, but the entire queue was not moving at all, which was very terrifying.
Looking back at the noisy team, aside from those craftsmen, even if it is an elite army, they have already stood in a considerable camp, but compared to the Ding Navy, they are still far behind.
Soon, the queue left the center position, and Zhao Xin said to Han Qi: "Don't you want to know what that weapon is for, now is this weapon drill!" ”
Han Qi settled down and began to pay full attention to the layout of the venue, this venue, in fact, is also the application just now, the venue of the queue, but on the side, several huge arrow stacks were placed at the end of the queue training, and then, target paper was posted on it.
Han Qi had never seen the target paper, but the center of the circle on it was somewhat like an archery battlement, and the general effect was somewhat understood, it should be a long-range weapon, but it was placed too far, at least five or six hundred steps away.
After thinking for a while, Han Qi tried to propose: "Dinghai Hou, do you want to go over and have a look, it's not too far!" ”
"It's not far, it's just right here!" Zhao Xin said, handed Han Qi a telescope, this is the most advanced telescope in the entire Dinghai Navy, not only the magnification is high enough, but the imaging effect is also excellent, not to mention hundreds of meters away, even if it is a few kilometers, more than ten kilometers, there is no problem.
The next test was an elite target of 100 people, and it was a long-range target.
This is the most elite marksman selected from the Dinghai Navy and millions of troops, they are not only first-class talented, but most importantly, they use thousands of bullets to feed their marksmanship.
Shooting can be practiced, especially in the case of the Dinghai Navy, which has gradually completed the installation of weapons, and after mastering some aiming methods, everyone's shooting skills can be improved, but if they are talented, it is a little easier.
Although it is still relatively difficult to popularize metal bullets on a large scale, there is no problem in the popularization of elites, a large number of neat and uniform fixed ammunition are produced by factories, and then handmade, the highest precision weapons make long-range sniping possible.
This larger-caliber, more sophisticated smoothbore gun has a range of up to 650 meters, and after using a scope, the average elite shooter can snipe at a distance of 500 meters.
Hundred steps through Yang, this is ancient, to describe the first-class archer, but in the era of the longbow, this hundred steps has been increased to about 300 steps, and now, it is more than 700 steps, which is almost the extent that an inhuman existence like Sun Ji can achieve, and the navy will go further after careful selection.
The 100 elites selected from the fixed navy, they can almost attack beyond the range, that is, their attack range is above the standard range, that is, to the extent of 700 meters to 750.
More than 700 meters, even if it is placed on the battlefield, it is quite long, almost invisible, after the target is set, soon, the shooters are also standing on the position.
Han Qi looked at the target in front of him, and then looked at the position where the shooters were standing, and said with a little surprise: "The range is so far!" ”
This range is too long, almost more than 2 times the ultimate range of the longbow, and if this weapon is popular, large-area equipment, then he can completely hang the longbow.
Han Qi's face was a little ugly, he handed the telescope in his hand to Di Qing, and asked in a low voice: "Pay attention, what kind of power is this range weapon, and what is the threat to our Northern Song Dynasty forbidden army!" ”
Di Qing was also quite surprised when he saw the position where the shooters were standing, this can no longer be called far, it is super far, from the position of the battle, he faintly paid some attention, this range is too far.
Since the Han and Tang dynasties, with the deepening of the use of iron, long-range weapons have increasingly become the weapons that dominate the battlefield, and the more equipment there is, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the army.
Long-range has been subject to many constraints, for example, range, for example, continuous attack time, carrying performance, etc., these are all manifestations of combat effectiveness, if the Dinghai Navy can really make a long-range weapon with a range of more than 700 steps, it is almost certain that it can beat all the weapons of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, even some masters are no exception.
Sun Ji with the help of the modified moon bow, but to complete a thousand meters of sniping, but such a person, in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, there is only such a one, the Dinghai Navy has improved the moon bow on a large scale, and it is relatively mass-produced, but there are very few who can really use it and maintain a range of kilometers, almost only Sun Ji alone.
But looking at the current situation, these measures of the Dinghai Navy are obvious, this is not small-scale, but large-scale, at least, the more than 100 people in front of them should be the most elite, so in addition to these, whether there is or not, how many, has become the key.
However, Di Qing, who was holding the telescope and observing carefully, suddenly found a problem, in the telescope, it can be seen very clearly, the weapons in the hands of the 100 people in the exercise are slightly different from the weapons of ordinary soldiers, which seem to be longer and a little thicker.
Di Qing whispered to Han Qi, Han Qi also looked at it with the help of a telescope, and the heart that had been hanging was slightly lowered, if it is said that 100,000 people, all of them can attack more than 600 steps away, then the Northern Song Dynasty does not need to fight, it is completely hanged, but if it is small-scale, only 100, or 100, although it is equally powerful, it is acceptable, what, the order of magnitude is much smaller.
