Chapter 997: Without artillery, Lao Tzu's army can't fight?
The 'Chinese flavor' that permeated the heavenly world became stronger and stronger, and it was precisely in Lu Qi's eyes that monotheism came into his eyes. The war has reached this point, and the 'world war' has already broken out.
Huaxia, Tianfang, One God, and Tianzhu, the four most powerful and influential civilizations on the earth, all entered the market.
Huaxia, who has the traverser Emperor Lu in charge, beats the Quartet with one dozen three!
In terms of the historical countries that have appeared, Lu Qi at this time is well-deserved as the first power in history.
Super combat effectiveness and long-range delivery capabilities, which no country in history has ever had. From the easternmost part of Asia to the junction of Asia and Europe, whether it is the Celestial Empire in the expansion period, or the short-lived Alexander Empire, or the Roman Empire in its heyday, or the Han and Tang Empires in the east, it is far from comparable.
Therefore, the Lu Qi Empire, which existed like this bug, shook the entire world of one god.
The Black Sea region in the north is far from the essence of the monotheistic world, but the Mediterranean Sea and Asia Minor are close at hand, which touches the nerves of the monotheistic world.
Today, the Byzantine Empire was still an important part of the monotheistic world, and the Crusader states at the eastern end of the Mediterranean were the top of the hearts of the Catholic states.
This is almost equivalent to saying that the Catholic countries will definitely be involved in the war. Because neither France, nor the HRE, nor the countries of the Italian region were encompassing, it was impossible to sit idly by and watch the Crusader countries fall apart one by one. The Pope, who has great power and influence, cannot sit idly by!
When the reaction of the Byzantine Empire was sent to Lu Qian thousands of miles away, Lu Qian was very happy, there was no need to find an excuse to start a war, and the opponent had already 'struck first'. However, while laughing, he also felt a little empty in his heart. It's not because he doesn't want to scare Europe, it's not that he's worried about not being able to scare Europe.
It's Lu Qichao's current financial problem!
"Your Majesty, the expedition of the army to heaven has exhausted the military supplies that Anxi has hoarded for many years. Isn't it ...... too urgent to conquer Europe again? Xiao Jiasui's face was a little surprised. Emperor Lu is too anxious, right?
The army soared far away, and the loss was not only money and food, but also a lot of military supplies, which were difficult to buy immediately if there was money.
"Yes, Your Majesty, although Xiyi is arrogant and arrogant, it is extremely ridiculous to dare to provoke my Daqi. In the coming day, he will not destroy his family and country, and before the court of his ruler asks about the crime, it is the shame of my great Qi civil and military affairs. However, Na Xiyi is more distant than the heavens, and the days of our dynasty are short, and there is no foundation in the Kipchak steppe. Such a large army crusade will cost ten times the cost of a soldier...... "After such a battle, not to mention the gains outweigh the losses, it is Lu Qi's finances, and they really can't afford it."
"The minister thinks that at this moment, most of the princes have reached adulthood, but those who are in the country should divide the place, guard the distant region, and consolidate the country, which is very important. And the new establishment of the feudal state, the migration of the people, and the transformation of Hu Yi into the emperor and Han, there are many things like stars in the night, and the loss is not small. ”
"When there are five years of life gathering, five years of lessons, ten years later, the foundation of our dynasty in the heavens has been consolidated, and the vassal states have also been consolidated, when the army will go west, sweep the west in one fell swoop, mix the Yuan Yu, and the four seas will be one......" Zong Ying's words were not finished, but what he meant Lu Qian already understood.
A bitterness flashed across his face, if he was only thirty or forty years old, or even only fifty years old, he could wait for ten years. "All of your words are reasonable, wait for me to think about it!"
The bigwigs in the Xuande Pavilion retreated, speechless all the way, until outside the gate of the Forbidden City Palace, Xiao Jiasui looked at Xu Guanzhong, who had never sunk a word, and asked puzzledly: "Why didn't Shoufu say a word?" It is not Your Majesty's will......"
"No, no." Xu Guanzhong didn't know what Xiao Jiasui meant in his words, which was to ask him if he had been 'mentioned' by the emperor. Of course Xu Guanzhong didn't. "The words of the princes are naturally reasonable, but they owe some consideration. Don't forget, Your Majesty is already in the year of the sixtieth year. ”
Don't look at Lu Qian, he still looks like a dragon and a tiger, his body is strong, as if he is still middle-aged. But age is the most deceiving.
Xu Guanzhong's last sentence was very quiet, so small that Xiao Jiasui, who had his own parallelism, heard it, and the others who were a few steps away all opened their ears in vain. Xiao Jiasui's face changed suddenly!
Lu Qian's expression didn't change much, he had already thought of this possibility before discussing it with the ministers. As far as the examples of Lu Qi already existed, the current Lu Qi Dynasty really does not have the 'strength' to continue to conquer Europe.
Looking at the South Seas, Tianzhu, and Hezhong, Lu Qi's 'conquest' and the Mongol conquest are two completely different paths.
The latter destroyed the ruling class in large swaths of the land, but also absorbed the remnants of 'them', and the Semu rose to power in the pyramid of power in the Mongol Empire at great speed. The Mongols absorbed them, but never really changed/assimilated them. Genghis Khan and his descendants were uncreative in the cultural industry, and the Mongols trodden all over Eurasia, but only with iron hooves.
But Lu Qi's feudal state and vassal state obviously involved the level of 'cultural consciousness', and this level of confrontation was more energy-consuming and time-consuming than simple force.
Of course, it cannot be denied that the force of the Lu Qi army was more logistical than that of the Mongol cavalry in history.
"Isn't it possible that without artillery, Lao Tzu's army can't fight?"
In the inner study, in front of several old people from Liang Shanbo, Lu Qian rarely burst into foul language.
Even if there are no firearms, the combat effectiveness of the Lu Qi Army should be the pinnacle of the entire cold weapons era, and their organization and training, treatment and pension, weapons and equipment, and military morale are all the top in the world.
"Your Majesty is angry. In recent years, firearms have become popular, and soldiers have overcome dangers, thanks to the sharpness of artillery, and the common people have also heard of the prestige of firearms, so that there are some thick firearms and thin knives and bows in the world. Even the ministers of the DPRK and China are the same. "After all, firearms are really sharp, not comparable to cold weapons such as knives, guns, bows and horses.
"Firearms are strong but swords, guns and bows are weak, almost qualitative!" This is indispensable to Emperor Lu's proposition, because he wants to subdue Saibei. Hyped up the power of guns and powder packs, that is Lu Qian's consistent advocacy.
"But what does this have to do with our soldiers? Whether it is swords, guns, bows and horses, guns and powder, they are all weapons held by our soldiers. For example, Liangshan artillery is used for multi-tip cannons, and plate armor is used for armor. Your Majesty's previous proverb that the army is based on people, and the ministers must not forget it. ”
