The artillery owned by the Jiangning battalion has been improved to the maximum.

The arsenal set up in Laizhou has long been expanded, and the arsenal has become a cornucopia like the shipyard, and many of the weapons and artillery produced are sold out, and the supply exceeds demand, for such a situation, some people in the imperial court oppose it, thinking that the weapons are sold, especially the artillery is sold, I am afraid that it will damage the interests of the imperial court, and if someone attacks with these weapons and artillery in the future, there will definitely be losses.

However, these words were said by officials who did not know the situation, and the five prime ministers, as well as the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War, would not say these words, because they knew very well that the real latest artillery would never be traded, that is, those with some artillery, flintlock guns, etc., which were backward in performance, would be traded.

With the support of money, the research and development of firearms, can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds, the artillery owned by the Jiangning Battalion in Liaodong is a fully improved red-coated cannon, which can fire ten shells in a row, without worrying about the matter of exploding, the caliber of the breech has changed a lot, and the shells have been improved with the making, with specific examples, even if it is a strong city wall like the capital, it can be blown out of a huge gap by the latest artillery within an hour, and even a part of the city wall can be destroyed.

The emperor once said that artillery is the god of war, and whoever has a powerful artillery will be able to decide the course of the war.

The range of the flintlock pistol can reach a hundred meters, and the lethality reaches fifty meters, that is, at a distance of fifty meters, the flintlock pistol can take a person's life, which is very terrifying, and the cavalry and foot soldiers charge in front of the flintlock pistol. It is equivalent to sending to death, and it is impossible to break through the dense bullets.

The training of the Jiangning battalion has also undergone tremendous changes, in the past, it was mainly to train the individual's ability to fight, but later it gradually shifted to the use of flintlock pistols, and the ability of individual sergeants in the school was mainly to see the mastery of flintlock pistols. Whether the hit rate is high, whether it can hit abnormal targets, and so on, the artillery battalion has become the most important army and has been unprecedentedly enhanced.

Relatively speaking, the role of cavalry is no longer the most important, even in the field of battles, the concept of relying entirely on cavalry to attack, has slowly changed, of course. The training of cavalry is also very crucial, mainly in terms of momentum, to be able to completely overwhelm the opponent.

The military uniforms of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have also been completely changed, and the robes have been abandoned, whether they are generals or ordinary sergeants, the military uniforms are separated from the clothes and pants, which is slightly fat. Easy to move.

It also heralded a dramatic change in the situation of the battle. In the past, the tactics of attacking the city with ladders have long been abandoned, and the siege of the city starts with artillery, and after the city wall is blown up, the sergeants armed with flintlock pistols begin to attack, as for the sergeants on the city wall. Basically, he didn't dare to show his head, and he was accidentally hit by a sergeant with accurate marksmanship.

But there is one thing that the Jiangning battalion has always adhered to, that is, strict military regulations, and after so many years, the military regulations of the Jiangning battalion have become more and more detailed. The requirements are also becoming more and more stringent, especially in cultivating the sense of honor of the sergeants, who must have a sense of honor, must safeguard the interests of the army, and absolutely subordinate their personal interests to the interests of the collective.

This change in the Jiangning battalion may not be accepted by everyone, after all, this change is only the army owned by the Great Jin court, including the army of the vassal state, which is mainly cavalry.

The armies of the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners, and the Mengba Banners have not changed much, and they are still mainly cavalry, focusing on personal qualities, especially in cavalry and archery, and the requirements are very strict.

This is also in line with the understanding of the vast majority, which holds that the quality of the individual sergeant is the most important, and only when the ability of the sergeant is improved, the overall quality of the army will go up.

It's a pity that the emperor doesn't have this understanding, the emperor values the military regulations and the honor of the soldiers, and when he gave a lecture, the emperor put forward an opinion, even if he is a cowardly person by nature, join the army, as long as there are strict military regulations and this enough sense of honor, this cowardly person can also become a brave sergeant.

Such a point of view is not necessarily accepted by everyone, and the vast majority still believe that the quality of a sergeant is a must.

The expedition of the Jiangning camp this time is the best proof of this.

After a large-scale transformation, the Jiangning battalion has taken on a new look, and it will soon face the Houjin Tartars, who still maintain its previous style, and the powerful cavalry of the Eight Banners.

Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, the emperor came to Liaodong.

When entering Shanhaiguan, Lu Xiangsheng, Yan Yingyuan, Zu Dashou and Zu Dale and others lined up to wait in Shanhaiguan, and the emperor drove the expedition in person, which was huge for the shock and encouragement of many soldiers, and also made many soldiers realize that the golden tartar after the extermination is something that the emperor attaches great importance to, and it is also the goal that the emperor must achieve.

Su Tiancheng, who was riding a horse, was very serious after seeing the many welcoming crowds in front of him.

It has been five years since the founding of the Great Jin Kingdom, it should be said that the living conditions of the common people have been greatly improved, although there may still be a problem of insufficient food and clothing, but the government at all levels is working hard, and the rules of the imperial court are very strict, prohibiting waste, prohibiting extravagance, Su Tiancheng first started from himself, no matter where he went to inspect, he would not disturb the local government too much, and the reception was as simple as possible. The emperor once returned to Shanxi, but the local prefect's high standard of preparation was finally directly revoked from his official position, although there were many officials who interceded, but in the end it was useless.

Su Tiancheng came to Liaodong to command the operation, and this is also the time when he is looking forward to the Jiangning Battalion, which has undergone major changes, and when it really plays a role, with the popularization of hot weapons, the army will definitely need to make major changes, this is the trend of history, but some officials in the DPRK and China do not recognize it, and they are still considering the war based on cold weapons.

Completely eradicate the Houjin Tartars, it is also Su Tiancheng's long-cherished wish, this battle, means how much territory the imperial court left for future generations, means that the territory created by the previous dynasty, is it possible to completely recover, as long as it is within the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, no small dynasty is allowed, such a rule, will soon be implemented on the grassland, there are many ethnic minority areas, ethnic policies will be more refined, but they are all implemented through the local government, the so-called autonomy of that set of practices, When the prestige of the government has not been completely established, the imperial court will not adopt and implement it.

Seeing that the emperor's face was not very good, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lu Xiangsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, the governor, and the governor of Liaodong, visited the emperor, and asked the emperor to review the Liaodong garrison."

Su Tiancheng had already dismounted, looking at the serious Lu Xiangsheng, with a smile on his face.

"Lu Aiqing, I don't like to be lively, today you gathered everyone here to greet me, so that I can review the garrison of Liaodong, if it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't be polite, but this kind of behavior should not appear in the future."

Lu Xiangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he also thought about it, the emperor doesn't like extravagance, and making such a big formation will not arouse the emperor's anger, but fortunately, he can deal with it skillfully.

Walking in front of Zu Dashou and Zu Dale, Su Tiancheng smiled and spoke.

"The two generals have made a lot of contributions in Liaodong for so many years, which can be described as a high level of hard work."

Zu Dashou hurriedly replied.

"The ministers don't dare, the stability of Liaodong is all due to the wisdom of the emperor, the hard work of Lord Lu and Lord Yan, and the ministers and Zu Dale are just assisting Lord Lu in accordance with the requirements of the emperor and the court and doing their part well."

"Okay, as long as you work together, you can be invincible, this time I came to Liaodong and brought General Wu Sangui, you haven't seen each other for many years, this time you fight side by side, you will definitely be able to completely wipe out the Houjin Tartars."

Shanhaiguan arranged a camp, and according to the plan, Su Tiancheng needed to rest here for a night, and then rushed to Ningyuan.

However, Su Tiancheng did not rest, and like many soldiers, he rode towards Ningyuan City.

Considering the importance of the Guanningjin defense line, the imperial court mobilized 10,000 soldiers, and after the Liaodong garrison all participated in the expedition, they were responsible for garrisoning Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan and Jinzhou.

In fact, after this expedition, the Guanningjin defense line will become history, once the Houjin Tartars are completely wiped out, and the Houjin regime is exterminated, the defense of Liaodong will also have large-scale changes, and the overall defense line will move outward on a large scale, and the defense in the direction of Datong is similar to the situation in Liaodong.

The Guanningjin defense line was specially set up by Sun Chengzong that year, at that time the Houjin Tartars, unusually brave, posed a huge threat to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, in order to be able to resist the attack of the Houjin Tartars, so the Guanningjin defense line was set up, after the facts have proved, this decision is completely correct, if it is not for the defense found by Guanningjin, the Houjin Tartars have long been driven into the Guannei, and the Ming Dynasty may have long been wiped out.

The existence of the Guanning Jin defense line is actually a great irony for the Ming court.

Su Tiancheng came to Liaodong to command the army to fight this time, and he also wanted to see the revocation of the Guanningjin defense line with his own eyes, the powerful Jin Dynasty has risen, if there is still a Guanningjin defense line in Liaodong, as the emperor, Su Tiancheng will feel blushing.

The so-called trapped beast is still fighting, I am afraid that Hou Jin's Huang Taiji has long been prepared, involving the life and death of Hou Jin, Huang Taiji has been forced to a dead end, and there is no other choice. (To be continued......)
