In the training ground of a certain military camp, Lu Ren was standing in the pavilion with his arms in his arms, and Xun Yu didn't know when he stood behind Lu Ren. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info looked at Zhou Yu, who was trying out the musket on the shooting range, and Xun Yu couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Yihao, isn't your pen too big? As soon as he struck, he was given 2,200 muskets like this? ”

Lu Ren turned his head to look at Xun Yu, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What Sun Quan needs now is an attitude from us, so I should always show a little bit here." The artillery can't be given to him for the time being, but give him some muskets first, at least let Sun Quan have a bottom in his heart, right? Otherwise, when the battle in the north is almost over, Sun Quan feels that his Yangtze River is in danger, who knows what he will do? ”

Xun Yu thought about it and nodded: "This is also the case." ”

Lu Ren shrugged again, then handed Xun Yu the other musket that had been placed on the table before, and said, "Besides, what I gave Zhou Yu is this Jian'an eighteen-type. Others don't know, Xun Gong, can you still not know what the situation of Type 18 is already in our Yizhou? ”

Xun Yu looked at the musket handed over by Lu Ren and raised his eyebrows, indicating that he understood what Lu Ren meant.

Type 18, to put it bluntly, is the musket model officially put into production by Yu Luren in the eighteenth year of Jian'an, and it is actually the seventh model in terms of development sequence, but it is still the first model to be officially installed. In Lu Ren's heart, the meaning of Type 18 is a bit like the Type 56 rifle of New China...... That's pretty much what it means.

In fact, before the 18th type was officially put into production and installed, the first six models had already appeared, such as Zhao Yu taking the musketeers to the support battle in Chrysanthemum Harbor, etc., using the style before the 18th type. However, the muskets that have been used in the first six models are mainly meant to be tested in actual combat and collect data, so they are not official gun types. This kind of thing is relatively common in modern society, and Lu Ren also has his own productivity limitations after all, so after years of testing and improvement, it was not until the eighteenth year of Jian'an that this official musket was put into production.

But to be honest, the popularity of Type 18 in Lu Ren's army is not high. It's not that Lu Ren doesn't want to popularize, but the productivity has not yet reached that level. Therefore, until the 25th year of Jian'an, the total number of regular troops on both the sea and land sides of Luren is about 80,000, but the number of troops equipped with Type 18 is still only more than 20,000. Just these 20,000 are also scattered among Lu Ren's various subordinate domains, and they belong to the most elite existence.

But Lu Ren will definitely not be satisfied with the "four dislikes" 18 type with half breech and half breech. Don't forget that Lu Ren is a guy with a golden finger and can get a lot of information on firearms...... Well, modern advanced gun materials may not be available, but there is no problem with Hanyang-made, Zhongzheng, 38 Dagai, and Endelphi. Lu Ren didn't do this, but made a 18-type, and the main problem is the limitation of productivity.

With Lu Ren's current production capacity, before many processes have been further developed, it is more appropriate to continue to improve and develop Type 18, and Lu Ren is also helpless about this......

Well, let's not go far, anyway, in the twenty-five years of Jian'an now, the improved and upgraded version of Type 18 Type 24 has actually begun to be put into production. In other words, Type 24 will replace Type 18, and after six years from 18 to 24, the production process of Lu Ren's military factory has matured a lot, and the output of Type 24 will greatly exceed Type 18. If it is not unexpected, the Type 24 is likely to be the gun type that Lu Ren will officially fully equip all troops.

To put it bluntly, the Type 18 is actually the gun type that Lu Ren is going to eliminate here. In fact, the 2,200 Type 18 that Lu Ren gave to Zhou Yu were replaced by Lu Ren's guards not long ago from the initial production of Type 24. Originally, Lu Ren planned to send these replaced Type 18 to Lu Lingqi to strengthen the weapons and equipment on Lu Lingqi's side, but now when he encountered Zhou Yu's matter, he simply gave a part to Zhou Yu.

Don't think that Lu Ren is generous or a bad person, Lu Ren is not so stupid. The reason why he dared to give more than 2,000 muskets to Zhou Yu was to give Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang, and Zhou Yu face, and on the other hand, Lu Ren knew that with Sun Quan's current production capacity, he did not have the ability to imitate these muskets. It's not that it can't be imitated, but with Sun Quan's current production capacity, it will definitely not be mass-produced, after all, if weapons can't be mass-produced, there is no point.

Moreover, the eliminated weapons, Lu Ren is still ready to sell them at the right time. Because Lu Ren knows that many things can't be clasped in his hands forever, as long as he can maintain his leading position in technology.

Further, whether it is now or in the future, the Central Plains of China still have a long time to fight with the nomads, and allowing the Central Plains of China to master much more advanced firearms in advance is very likely to be able to suppress the combat strength of the nomads to a certain extent. For example, why did the rulers of the Qing Dynasty vigorously suppress the development of firearms? To a large extent, isn't it just being scared by firearms? I am afraid that these firearms will suppress the powerful cavalry of the Qing soldiers.

All in all, Lu Ren's consideration is still relatively far away, and as for whether it is true or not, this Lu Ren himself can't say clearly. is still the same sentence, Lu Ren is a human being, not a god, what he can do is to follow his own train of thought step by step, as for what will become in the future, who can say clearly?

————————————————————

The time was the beginning of September in the 25th year of Jian'an.

At this time, Sun Shangxiang was still recruiting soldiers in Wu County, and Zhou Yu was still fighting with Lu Ren in Yizhou, but on the Liaozhou side, Lu Ren had already fought several skirmishes with the three clan coalition forces.

And before that, that is, when Lu Ren received that the alliance of the three clans was preparing to invade the border of Liaozhou, Liu Ye and others stationed in Liaodong and Lu Lingqi and others stationed in western Liaoxi would of course persuade the people from all over the country to evacuate to safe areas, so as not to be affected by the upcoming war.

It's just that it's easier said than done. In the agricultural era, the ancients were very rural, and it was not easy for them to leave their hometowns.

In contrast, Liaodong is better, because Liaodong has only ended the war for more than a year, and most of the people in Liaodong have not yet recovered from the war, and the areas in northeastern Liaoning, such as farming and production in Shenyang, have not yet recovered, to put it bluntly, the people have nothing to be nostalgic for, so Liu Ye's decree, everyone packed up and ran to the Lelang area in the south.

And Liaoxi is much more troublesome. In fact, there have been large-scale battles in western Liaoning before, but in general, the time of stability is longer than the time of war, so the living conditions of the people in western Liaoning are relatively stable. Moreover, the degree of development in western Liaoning has been relatively high in recent years, and the people have a large number of harvests in the fields, which makes the people a little reluctant, and they always want to grab the harvest in the fields and then run.

Moreover...... Alas! Lu Ren adopted a strategy in western Liaoxi to gather Karasuma and Xianbei who were willing to return, and after these groups of people took refuge under Lu Ren's command, they also changed from nomadic herding to farming or herding after these years. This is a good thing, everyone has a good life, and how many people are willing to fight and kill? But when these people heard that the alliance of the three clans was coming, there were actually many people who were stunned and said that they were all Xianbei or Karasuma and would not come to rob them. This is what Lu Ren didn't hear, and when he heard it, he scolded these people for making them stupid. You used to be a tribe on the grassland, don't you know that it is normal for the grassland tribes to blacken each other?

For this reason, Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong, as well as Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying, had to send out the troops stationed in Chrysanthemum Port and Jinzhou, and repeatedly admonished these "nail households" again and again, and to put it mildly, they almost used coercive means to forcibly take the people who did not want to leave.

Of course, so far there have been no forced incidents. This is what Lu Ren meant, in Lu Ren's words, that is, we have been persuaded to persuade, if you refuse to listen, then it is none of my business to suffer. If coercive means are used, it is easy to cause the opposite effect on these people with strong temperaments.

But seriously, Lu Ren also has a very sinister intention here...... Grab it! Kill it!! Let the invading Karasuma or Xianbei kill and rob the Karasuma and Xianbei who live here in Liaoxi for money, which is likely to directly split Karasuma and Xianbei into a more thorough "anti-Lu faction" and "pro-Lu faction". Then when the fight starts again, the "pro-Lu faction" will stand on Lu Ren's side to participate in the war wholeheartedly for the sake of their own stable and prosperous life.

These are not, at this moment, in front of the council in Jinzhou City, Lu Lingqi, who had just completed the task, turned over and dismounted and went straight into the hall. As soon as she entered the hall, Lu Lingqi threw the helmet to the attendant in the hall, then took the hot tea handed by the attendant and greeted Chen Gong: "Uncle Chen, I'm back." ”

Chen Gong and Murong Ziying were discussing the sand table map, and when they saw Lu Lingqi coming back, Chen Gong asked, "Lu Yatou is back." How are your men doing this time? ”

Lu Lingqi sighed: "Alas, don't mention it! This time, there were only about 2,000 people in the villages and tribes, but it took me a lot of effort to get them done...... Don't talk about this, is there any news from the lord? ”

Chen Gong nodded, handed a letter to Lu Lingqi and sighed lightly: "What a big thing Lord Sun has done!" However, after this trouble, Sun Quan's hidden danger to the lord was solved. In particular, the fact that Zhou Yu and Lord Sun Jun were going to come to Liaoxi to participate in the war can be said to have tied Sun Quan to the chariot of the lord, and Sun Quan should be said to be worry-free. ”

Lu Lingqi read the letter carefully, and couldn't help nodding her head again and again. But at this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, followed by the herald's loud voice: "Report!" About 30,000 horsemen of the front army of the Three Clans Alliance have arrived at the northern border! ”

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying, and muttered, "Thirty thousand horses? It seems that Lu Yizhou has calculated correctly, and the alliance of the three clans will attack our Liaoxi, because Liaoxi has more oil and water than Liaodong. ”

It's not interesting to gossip too much. 30,000 cavalry slaughtered Jinzhou, and there is no need to mention how they burned, killed and looted along the way. After hearing the news, Chen Gong immediately ordered the garrisons that had been scattered to persuade the people to relocate to quickly return to the city and assemble. As for those "nail households" who are greedy for the countryside, they really can't take care of it. Anyway, when the catastrophe is coming, I believe that they themselves will run for their lives desperately.

Next, Chen Gong did not rush to fight with the other party. Cavalry? Liaoxi has it, but it is never cost-effective to have a hard force with the other side. In contrast, Lu Ren's troops are better at defending the city and weapon superiority, and Jinzhou has been built for several years, coupled with the existence of the Karasuma tribe and the Xianbei tribe attached to Lu Ren, they naturally have a deep understanding of cavalry tactics, and many settings can effectively contain the tactics that the cavalry is good at.

The alliance of the three clans threw a large number of corpses under Jinzhou City, and it was really a bit helpless to take Jinzhou City. So the leaders summed it up again, and changed the target to Chrysanthemum Port, which is more than 100 miles south of Jinzhou.

Chrysanthemum Port is an important port to supply Jinzhou's grain, grass and military salaries, especially after the outbreak of war, agricultural production in western Liaoning has been completely suspended, and Jinzhou's military supply depends on Tianjin's maritime supply. According to the idea of the alliance of the three clans, as long as the Chrysanthemum Port is taken...... There is no need to even take Chrysanthemum Port, as long as the connection between Jinzhou and Chrysanthemum Port is cut off, even if Jinzhou cannot be captured, the money and food of Chrysanthemum Port will be enough for them to eat a few meals.

However, what they could think of, Chen Gong had already thought of. Therefore, before that, the grain and grass accumulated in Jinzhou City was enough for the soldiers and civilians who stayed in Jinzhou for half a year.

What's more, the construction of Chrysanthemum Port is actually a few years earlier than Jinzhou. Maybe because of the port, it is not as good as Jinzhou City, which is an official city, in terms of city defense and other aspects, but it can also make the three clan alliance forces cry helpless.

In terms of troop allocation, Chen Gong took Lu Lingqi and 10,000 horses to garrison Jinzhou, while Tuoba Yu took Murong Ziying and 10,000 horses to garrison Chrysanthemum Port. Note that these 20,000 men are all regular troops, not counting the "militia" that can be gathered. Don't forget that there are a large number of Karasuma tribes and Xianbei tribes attached to Lu Ren on this side of Liaoxi, and if Lu Ren really gives an order, he can immediately pull up tens of thousands of cavalry troops.

The reason why it has not been used now is that the first is that Chen Gong does not want to show his strength, and the second is that he has used a lot of these militias to persuade the people to leave, and they will not be able to return to the establishment in a short period of time.

Chen Gong should keep his hole cards so that he can launch a full-scale counterattack when necessary. You need to know that Chen Gong, the old man, is also a ruthless person, and many times he can be called ruthless. Therefore, when Chen Gong received an instruction from Lu Ren, what Chen Gong thought about was not simply resisting the enemy army or defending, but preparing to swallow the more than 100,000 people who came to attack! According to Chen Gong's assumption, if this battle is successfully fought, the north of Liaoxi will be free of external troubles for at least the next ten years......
