"It's still the same old problem, finance. What is the war fought? Money.

The Ming Dynasty, the three major campaigns of Wanli were all won and played a national prestige, but they also exhausted the foundation left by the previous dynasties, and now the corruption and corruption prevail in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and their treasury has long been empty.

And in this battle of Dalinghe, first of all, the Ming Dynasty had finally moved out some of the money to build Dalinghe City, but because of lack of money, he was not ready to support.

After the siege of Dalinghe by Houjin, Da Ming slowly prepared to support Dalinghe City.

At that time, because there was no way to scrape together enough military funds at once, they could only adopt a patchwork method and move out the money little by little.

However, those officials and old men disliked the soldiers who were the first to assemble to eat white rice and waste money, so they put together a group of people and sent a wave of people to the Daling River.

This is a taboo for soldiers, 2,000 people today, 7,000 people the day after tomorrow, and the Ming Dynasty has added the troops that can be supported step by step.

How could Huang Taiji waste this kind of kindness, he naturally surrounded the point and sent reinforcements, and defeated all the reinforcements.

One after another, up to now, Daming has tens of thousands of troops, and they have been buried in the bottomless pit of Daling River bit by bit.

These reinforcements, they are all the troops made up by the Ming Dynasty, and they are consumed in vain, this is bloodletting.

Without money, even if Daming wanted to fight, he couldn't fight. In terms of Daming's current financial situation, how long can it last? Once the follow-up money and food allocation was not in place, the reinforcements were cut off.

Without reinforcements, with the current army of Daming, what will happen, so I don't need to talk about it. ”

"I understand, with Li Yongfang's example there, I'm afraid that those egg-hungry bags will sacrifice the city."

"I just don't know, when will we be able to fight Huang Taiji, we haven't directly met with the Houjin Tartars of Liaodong for more than three years."

"That's not right, the Houjin of Liaodong is the enemy, the Houjin of North Korea, that is also the enemy, how can you discriminate against it."

At this time, Lakshin agreed with the concept of the officer who spoke just now, and interjected, "Since the previous battle, Sukh Saha fled in embarrassment, this Korean Houjin army has long been impure, and he is a Goryeo stick, without a strong military demeanor."

Most of the XXX are infantry, and our cavalry units want to find a decent opponent, and they can't do it in the last saber charge. ”

Zhong Fulin hurriedly stopped Lakshen's nonsense, "Okay, stop, put away your quirks that get excited when you hear the battle."

According to the current regulations of our army, unless we have to, most of the time, our main means of combat is long-range shooting, and the bayonet is the last dignity.

Maximizing the advantage of firepower is the trend of future warfare, and as a senior officer, you should not mess around. ”

Lakshin hung his head and waved his hand, "Got it, got it, my comrade commander-in-chief Zhong." When it comes to the battlefield, I can still carry the priorities. It's been a long time since I've fought a real Tartar, and I'm just whining. ”

Zhong Fulin looked at Lakshen's appearance and raised his eyebrows, "What, you still don't know?" ”

Lakshin looked up blankly and looked at Commander Zhong.

Zhong Fulin stared at the other party's face for a while, then sighed again, "You really don't know." ”

"Know? Know what? ”

Zhong Fulin said helplessly: "Alas, don't you never read the war report sent from above?" ”

Rakshen retorted rhetorically, "How could it be, it was a document issued by the superiors, and the king personally asked me to watch it for a quarter of an hour every day to exercise my reading and writing skills, so I have read it, otherwise, when everyone was chatting just now, how could I tell the situation in the Dalinghe area?" ”

"Then why don't you know that the second phase of the combat mission we are carrying out now is to prepare for the subsequent third phase of contact with the Houjin army in Liaodong?"

Facing Zhong Fulin's playful eyes, Lakshen's face turned a little red, he had always read the war briefing only as if he was watching the romance, and only read the part he was interested in.

Moreover, many times, he couldn't read the words on the document, so most of the time, as long as he sat in front of the document for a quarter of an hour, he seemed to have completed the task and left the matter behind.

However, as a thick-faced man, he only blushed slightly, and then paid attention to the other places without care.

He remembered what Zhong Fulin said just now, and now, listening to Zhong Fulin's meaning, the king had already decided to contact the Houjin army in Liaodong? If that's the case, that's great.

Rakshen asked excitedly, "Old Zhong, what you said is true?" Are we really going to attack the main force of the Houjin Army in Liaodong? ”

"That's right, this time, we attacked Shangjing to prepare for the next stage, contact with the main force of the Houjin Army in Liaodong.

Otherwise, why do you think your lord would be so lenient in giving us time to run in and practice on the battlefield? ”

"Ah, why didn't I think it happened, I thought it was like this, I thought it was ······"

"Do you think that the king is because of the two of us, so he didn't let the navy's heavy artillery attack?"

"Hey, hey."

"You, just do it."

Lakshin smirked again, bringing up the topic, and then, his brain circuit shifted again, exclaiming, "Oh, then what time are we wasting here, it's the right thing to take the capital as soon as possible." ”

Zhong Fulin picked up the teacup and drank tea to hide his helpless eyes.

"So what do you think we're doing?"

This kid, just now, he started a few times and asked everyone to come up with ideas and find a way to capture the capital as soon as possible, but he slowly diverted the topic.

At this time, knowing that the Houjin army in Liaodong was about to be, he suddenly became anxious.

"I don't know, Lao Zhong, this matter is easy to solve, we can't attack it for a long time, because there are too many dungeons around the capital, and the caliber of our artillery is too small.

As long as we have a large-caliber heavy artillery, won't it be easy to push all the way up to the fortifications of the capital? ”

"What do you think large-caliber artillery is? Toys? If you want to use artillery, you must first solve the logistics.

Which model of our army's existing heavy artillery weighs less than 2,000 catties? Coupled with the weight of artillery shells, artillery trucks and other auxiliary equipment, how to solve the transportation problem in terms of the topography of the Korean Peninsula?

In this hilly area, a truckload of ammunition is enough to be transported desperately? ”

Laxin touched his head in distress and stopped talking.

Indeed, with the current level of technology in the kingdom, several kinds of artillery above 40mm caliber infantry guns have been designed.

88mm caliber cannons, 105mm caliber howitzers have been able to be mass-produced, and 155mm caliber heavy guns have also been sampled several for experiments.

However, the kingdom's current material technology tree is still in its infancy, and the overall smelting level has not yet reached the point where it is too outrageous, and the structural strength of the cannon steel used in these cannons cannot be compared with that before Chen Xin's crossing.

The strength was not enough, and the weight and barrel wall thickness had to be compromised.

As a result, these cannons are all stupid and coarse.

On those warships that are not very sensitive to weight, these guns are able to play a huge role.

However, on land, not to mention that there was no artillery carriage capable of pulling 155mm caliber heavy guns, even 88mm caliber cannons could not keep up with the army's marching speed.

"Then what should I do, I can't let my brothers exchange their lives for those bunkers, right? Then we, the officers, where do we still have the face to lead the troops? ”

"This is the difficulty, originally, our scientific and technological level has completely surpassed the Houjin aspect, but in the transformation of combat effectiveness, it has not been able to achieve the expected effect.

The purpose of this campaign is to allow us to sum up the lessons and find out the reasons why we are unable to give full play to our combat effectiveness.

So, don't worry, we, there's still time. ”
