Chapter 735: Someone from the Navy is coming
But what kind of weapon it is, even if it is Jia Wu, it is not very clear, after all, as the person in charge, the work he is responsible for is very important, and it is impossible to go directly to the battlefield.
Among these intelligence officers in the Northern Song Dynasty in the Liao State, there were very few who actually went to the battlefield, and even if there were, on the battlefield, unless they were in charge of logistics, it would be very difficult to keep them.
Although the Ding Navy rarely kills and slaughters directly on the battlefield for the sake of the population, they are not here to do charity, in order to kill the opponent as soon as possible, they must show sufficient attack power, and the embodiment of this attack power is also here, high-intensity saturation attacks.
In the face of artillery, muskets, and other means of attack, even if it is a soldier of the Ding Navy, it is easy to be killed, not to mention the Liao State, the mortality rate of the guards on the city wall is as high as more than 80%, it is precisely because of the collapse of the city wall guards that this has caused the follow-up effect, and the Liao army finally collapsed completely after being unable to bear such a huge loss.
In this case, only by going deep into the front line can we see the true power of weapons, and those who go deep into the front line, basically, are either killed or wounded, and there is very little information that can be brought out.
What Jiawu got was more akin to hearsay, and of course, he also spent a lot of effort to contact some wounded Liao troops.
After the battle, when the Liao army surrendered, it also strengthened its control, and those who could become soldiers were all middle-aged laborers, much better than ordinary people, in this case, the first day of the day can contact less, plus thermal weapons, and the weapons of this era, there is a huge difference, many times, it is not that you see it, you can understand.
Modern automatic weapons, at this time, will be regarded as artifacts, and they will not understand the principle of their damage at all.
Han Qi knew a lot of things because of the arrival of Jiawu, and confirmed that Zhao Xin was the culprit, the leader of the Liao State, and he put down his worries about the Northern Song Dynasty a little, but another question arose in an instant, why is this weapon so powerful.
After settling in Jiawu, by the way, let him go back to the Privy Council to report after a little rest, now Han Qigui is the prime minister, and he is the number one, but the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty, the fixed system, so that the mutual constraints are very great, in wartime, maybe Han Qi can grasp it, but now it is not wartime, and he interferes too much in some actions of the Privy Council, which is not appropriate.
Next, Han Qi cleaned up again, mainly through which secret agents to learn the details of the weapons used by the Dinghai Navy.
It's just that there is not much gain, among the many secret agents, there are really one or two, who have participated in the war, and even relatively close positions, mostly in some small towns.
The scale of the attack in the small city was relatively small, and the time was short, and even the artillery did not enter the city, and they didn't even look closely, even if they added a little, it was quite different from what Jia Wu provided, so that Han Qi didn't gain much.
After a systematic understanding, especially Jiawu is good at painting, Jiawu has personally touched artillery and muskets, recently, no more than 3 meters, at such a distance, he is more serious observation, and really observed a little doorway, at least the appearance is there.
The cannon is a thick black cylinder, and there is not even a gun chamber, and the gun machine, which has wheels, can move quickly, and the others, there are none, and the musket is similar.
Before systematically understanding the basic laws of muskets and artillery, only the basic shape can be drawn, and the basic structure is completely unknown.
In fact, Han Qi has some understanding of the shape of the artillery, and the source of his understanding is nothing else, that is, Guangzhou City, at that time, Guangzhou was expected to be telescope, although the magnification is not large, but the artillery on the ship is also huge enough, so that the shape is drawn.
In the follow-up solution to the Guangzhou problem, this portrait attracted attention, and it was studied very much in the Privy Council and the Ordnance Department, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
Now the same thing is placed in front of Han Qi, he still doesn't understand, but the size is a little clear, compared with the one on the ship, it seems that this thing is much smaller, and with the addition of wheels, Han Qi understands a little.
This weapon must be very heavy, it must be made of iron, or copper, otherwise, it does not have to be loaded on wheels, it is reduced, and it is also related to the land, compared with the huge sea ships, the traffic conditions on land are much worse, and the weight must be reduced, so it is so small.
I know so much, but there are more questions, many things are not particularly understood, and there are more questions, why are those things that can fire weapons that impact the city wall so powerful?
Although the Dinghai Navy cleaned up the battlefield during the war, the entire battle to destroy Liao only took a total of 20 days, less than 20 days, in such a short time, there are still marches, sieges, and sweeps, there must be omissions.
These omissions were caught by some of the Northern Song Dynasty spies, who not only knew that this weapon sent out a huge iron ball, but even got a few iron balls.
However, this thing is a bit heavy, at least about 9 catties, and it is inconvenient to carry it among fast horses, so I didn't bring it over, but I know, after Han Qi paid attention, he told Han Qi about it.
With a more in-depth narration, it made Han Qi even more at a loss, Han Qi is not a civilian official who doesn't understand anything, as a civilian official, he is deeply involved in the military, and even specializes in weapons and defense, very clear, long-range weapons, weight control.
The power of the longbow lies in the weight and quality of the arrow, and the power of the armor-piercing arrow is powerful, but why it is not a common equipment is because there are too few longbowmen who can shoot such armor-piercing arrows.
Weight is directly proportional to strength.
The longbow is still like this, a longbow equipped with armor-piercing arrows, the weight of the entire armor-piercing arrow, at most, is about half a catty, and now, such a weapon that exceeds 9 catties and can shoot a range of one or two thousand steps at the same time, how much power does it have to push him.
Even if it's an inhuman Hercules like Sun Ji, if a few people come, don't think about pushing this thing out thousands of steps away.
But it is precisely this kind of power that makes him have such a great destructive power for the city wall, pushing such a huge thing thousands of steps away, even if it is because of the huge distance, attenuating some things, but the power shown in the end is also huge, such a huge force, smashed on the city wall, itself is weaker than the Northern Song Dynasty, it is strange that it can resist it.
Han Qi was puzzled about what this weapon was, and hesitated how to describe it, but he received a report that a person claiming to be under the jurisdiction of the Dinghai Navy came to ask for a meeting.
The jurisdiction of the Dinghai Navy is also the military attache of the 4th grade, which is on the list of the Northern Song Dynasty, in the current state, Han Qi has no problem seeing him, he remembers that the jurisdiction of the Dinghai Navy should be Sun Ji.
It has been determined that it is the Liao State captured by the Ding Navy, so why did this Ti Zhi come here, it can be imagined, under the premise that there are countless questions in his heart, at this time, the people of the Ding Navy came, and that was the best choice.
Han Qi directly ordered people to be brought in, and after seeing them, he found out that it was not Sun Ji, it was Xue Yu, and Xue Yu was the deputy commander, so it was no problem to call it so.
Xue Yu once served under Han Qi, although the difference was very far, Xue Yu didn't even have the qualifications to stand in front of Han Qi at that time, and Han Qi at that time was not a Zaifu, but just a head of the Dao, which was far from his current status, but Xue Yu was just a low-level military attache at that time.
said that the previous things were a little too far away, at least, for Han Qi and Xue Yu, time has passed, both sides have made progress in their respective fields, Han Qi has become the prime minister, Xue Yu is even more in the Dinghai Navy, and now he is the fourth person in the military, specializing in the battle for the Northeast and the destruction of Liao
However, there is still the necessary respect, Xue Yu did not feel proud because of the destruction of the Liao State, in the entire battle to destroy the Liao, what really worked was the endless weapons and logistics of the Dinghai Navy, which had already been done a long time ago.
As a matter of fact, in the military system of the navy, the commander-in-chief plays very little role, and under the premise that the army is superior, the weapons are superior, and even the combat ideology is all comprehensive, it is not possible to win the war in the end, then the commander-in-chief is inevitably too stupid.
Xue Yu didn't feel how great he was, so he saluted Han Qi respectfully.
Han Qi's mentality has also changed, not to mention the past, even now, a general of a four-rank border military state, standing in front of him, is absolutely disdainful, this difference is too big, even a seventh-grade civil official, can reprimand a second-grade military attaché, not to mention that he is such a person, who has achieved the peak of civil officials and has become a figure like the slaughter of a country.
If Xue Yu is still the jurisdiction of the Ding Navy, this is the case, but now, the Ding Navy has destroyed the Liao State and replaced it, then the Ding Navy cannot be called the border military state of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it must be regarded as the existence of the country, that is, it has replaced the status of the Liao State, so in a diplomatic sense, it is equivalent to the second or third person in the Liao military, which is definitely a big member of the party, and it must maintain enough attention and courtesy.
Han Qi said a few times, and then asked Xue Yu the purpose of coming, he wanted to know why Xue Yu came here, whether he came to show off his martial arts, or if he had another purpose.
Han Qi's question made Xue Yu think of the purpose of coming, the purpose of coming was very simple, it was to send a letter.
One is a handwritten letter written by Zhao Xin with Renzong, telling in detail the whole process of 5 years of development, what should be said and what should not be said, all written, and the other is a verbal message, after 10 days, a military exercise will be held near Shanhaiguan to invite senior officials of the Northern Song Dynasty to participate.
The former, in order to explain the as, after all, the Liao State has been captured, many things, because of the cover of the Ding Navy, the Northern Song Dynasty does not know at all, now, maybe, or confused, rather than let the Northern Song Dynasty guess, and even the premise that it may be wrong, it is better to take the initiative and tell it.
At the time when it has occupied the Liao State, as well as the entire north, more than 5 million square kilometers of huge land, the Dinghai Navy is even bigger than the current Northern Song Dynasty.
As for inviting Han Qi to participate in the exercise, it was all for the purpose of showing off his muscles, sometimes, between countries, there is no need to fight, just show his muscles, as long as the muscles are strong enough, there is no need to fight, and the goal can be achieved through such bright muscles.
Under Xue Yu's simple explanation, Han Qi understood the intention, the former couldn't understand it, and the latter he deeply understood that the Liao State was in this way again and again, and the huge wealth blackmailed from the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty was under the two rogue states of the Liao State and the Western Xia, and lost a lot of interests.
An invitation card and a letter were all written by Zhao Xin himself, Han Qi opened the invitation card, with a magnificent handwriting on it, which was written by Zhao Xin himself, and the other one, a letter to Renzong, was strangely unsealed.
Before Han Qi asked Xue Yu about the meaning of this unsealed, Xue Yu took the initiative to say that this letter was for Han Qi to come and see, and Han Qi, as the prime minister, was qualified to read such a letter.
It turned out that as early as three years ago, or even earlier, the Dinghai Navy began to attack the idea of the Liao State, making a detour of thousands of miles, and millions of soldiers and civilians landed in the north, further north, historically, at the position of the Bohai State in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and then established a foundation, exterminated the Jurchen and Mongolian nomadic tribes, and took root in the north.
Then, it took more than 2 years to build and stabilize and finally, successfully laid a deep foundation in the entire north, and then succeeded in one fell swoop.
This time, the Liao was destroyed by using 3 armies, 600,000 from the north, and they were dispatched from Mongolia and the Bohai Sea respectively, and in more than ten days, they broke through a series of cities in the Liao State and entered the core of the Liao State
On the other hand, there is also the Bohai landing from Liaodong, just 100 miles north of the Shanhaiguan in the Northern Song Dynasty, outflanking the past, a whole 300,000 troops, their purpose is not to attack the city, but to block the news, which is also the Imperial City Division and the Northern Song Dynasty, dozens of groups, thousands of people, there is no one news to pass back the fundamental reason for the huge army, blockaded everything, no news can bypass here, pass back, this is also before, the root of no news.
It is precisely with its strong military strength that it almost destroyed the Liao State, this is the current situation, and now the Ding Navy has digested the gains of the Liao State and has completely occupied the Liao State.
The simple description process is similar to what Han Qi thought before, but Han Qi is not concerned about this, why is there no introduction of weapons and equipment on it, continue to flip down, probably in the second half, seeing the description of the weapon, Han Qi immediately looked at it attentively, and did not let go of a word.
