Chapter 493 Taking work as the key link is the key to the Northern Dynasty's reversal of fortune
The king of Sichuan and Shaanxi has been working for such a long time and has no big ideas. He is simply sorry for his fate. Transforming a dragon into a dragon is already considered an undisclosed secret. In Sichuan and Shaanxi, both the military system and the political system are different from the original ones.
Great differences began to appear in the Ming Dynasty or the New Deal in Shenjing City.
Precisely because he wanted to turn a dragon into a dragon, Sun Chuanting acted more cautiously. He knew that if he acted too outstandingly at this time, the fruits of the world would definitely not fall into his pocket. So far, no one from the Ming Dynasty has
To get things done, you have to wait for the first person to step forward and use their chopsticks, then the rest of the things will be easier to handle.
In the affairs of the world, what makes Sun Chuanting most worried and uncomfortable is that someone in Shenjing City unexpectedly becomes stronger and stronger. He had fought against the Manchus back then, and he knew the Manchus' combat power very well. He could push back against the Manchus.
The Qing Dynasty recaptured the Ningjin area. The current combat power of the New Korea Army cannot be underestimated. Whether it is now or in the future, how to defeat the New Korea Army is the top priority.
If you don’t have the means and confidence to defeat the New Dynasty Army, why occupy so much territory? It will just be a wedding dress for others! Taking Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hunan are all at your fingertips. But it will also cause the dispersion of troops and the inability to do anything.
When we get together, this decision is really not that easy to make.
Lack of concentration of power and lack of decisive combat power are the main difficulties faced by Sun Chuanting's forces now. Although there is no problem in communicating between Sichuan and Shaanxi, the traffic environment is too bad and the problem of insufficient convergence has always existed. In a short period of time, it has really
There is no effective way. In theory, if Hubei and the Central Plains are controlled by oneself, the situation will be greatly improved, but the reality is that it is not possible for the time being. The forces of King Zhou and Gao Mingheng in the Central Plains are now friendly forces, and they are tampering with the Central Plains.
It will cause countless troubles and suspicions. Although Hubei is controlled by the Chuangying forces, it is reasonable to use troops, but the problem is that at this time, a full-scale war with the Chuangying forces will occur, and other forces will definitely make changes, and the troubles that will arise are also not small.
.
"Let's take a look at Xian Thief's next move. The current situation is complicated and can affect the whole body. It's better for us to be more cautious when making moves. I feel that the direction of the situation will be different this year and next year.
For major changes, the best policy is to wait and act." After thinking over and over again, Sun Chuanting finally decided to wait and not rush to make a decision.
"At the main stage, in a time of great contention, repeated hesitation is not the best policy."
"Why don't I know? But the power that really controls the situation has not yet taken action seriously. It is not a good thing for us to act too early. I really can't measure how strong the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty are now. Based on my judgment, I will fight them.
, the Qin soldiers in my hands may not be our opponents. As long as they do not suffer heavy losses, no matter how much territory we occupy, it will be nothing more than useless."
Ranwen
"From the main stage's perspective, under what circumstances would the Northern Dynasty suffer a major setback?"
"In today's situation, the Xian thieves are seeing the wind and waves. In fact, they are strong external forces and are ineffective in a tough battle. The only ones who can fight a tough battle are the Guan Ning army and the two groups of Jian and captives. Even though the Northern Dynasty captured Jinzhou
They came back, but the main force of Jianlu was not lost, and the situation in Liaodong was far from being divided. In the future, the Northern Dynasty is likely to follow the old path of fighting on multiple fronts. At this time, if Wu Sangui of Taiyuan gives some strength, the Northern Dynasty will
If the Qin army moves forward from northern Shaanxi to flank Datong, the situation will change drastically."
"Can Wu Sangui withstand the Korean army in Taiyuan? Also, are we sure of success in our side attack on Datong?"
"The key lies in firearms. The power of firearms is the key to the North Korean army becoming a powerful army in the world in such a short period of time. If the Qin army wants to defeat the North Korean army, it will definitely not work if their firearms are not good."
"The North Korean army's firearms use new chemicals that are difficult to prevent. The rate of fire of their muskets and artillery is much higher than the muskets we can make. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a solution, right?"
"A few days ago, there was some progress in Xi'an's military affairs. They discovered that adding white sugar to gunpowder greatly increased its power. The court's new medicine should have used a similar method. Now that I think about it, many things can be figured out.
Well, after the palace sold sugar on a large scale, the Northern Dynasty's military strength improved greatly. In addition, the craftsmen also made new discoveries by boiling urine. They discovered a thing that can ignite fire. This should be the breech-loading gun made by the imperial court.
The secret of being able to fire is."
"This is great progress. If we master these two magical functions, wouldn't we be able to make the same firearms as the Northern Dynasty army? In this way, it will not be difficult to defeat them with the help of the Qin army!"
"Things are not so ideal. Even with ignition and new medicine, it is not easy to make the same firearms as the Northern Dynasty army. The craftsmen of the Bingzhan Bureau said that the Northern Dynasty's firearms are so sophisticated that they are rare in the world. Unless they have the same good iron as their weapons.
, only good craftsmen have the possibility to imitate their firearms on a large scale. Let’s take the copper bullets used in their muskets. It seems not difficult to make one or two, but it is very difficult to make a large number. The most terrifying thing about the Northern Dynasties is not that we don’t have them.
new firearms, but most of their troops are now equipped with new firearms. I asked the craftsmen that with our current strength, it will take at least ten years to produce enough imitation firearms to equip the Qin army."
"Ten years? Why does it take so long? What the craftsmen say may not be credible, right? It has only been a few years since the new firearms of the North appeared. How can they complete the new firearms in such a short period of time?
How come we can't do the change of clothes?"
"Things are not that simple! After all, they are the essence of the country. All the fine craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty have been gathered in Shenjing City. This is something we cannot do. Now that we have realized it, we have lost the opportunity. If nothing else,
, even the sewing machines produced in Shenjing in the past two years, our craftsmen have disassembled and assembled them several times, but still can't find a way to imitate them. As far as this matter is concerned, we really don't think as far as the ones from Jingshi. I heard that Guang Miyun
The iron factories in one place produce as much as 200,000 tons of iron a year, and they have three or four such iron factories. What does it look like to produce one million tons of iron a year? There is a lot of iron there.
When it can be used to pave roads in large quantities, this foresight has to be convinced. Taking work as the key link is the key to reversing the fortunes of the Northern Dynasty. Their path is extremely difficult for others to imitate. It is really not easy to follow it now.
.”
Sun Chuanting had realized the crux of the problem, but he also felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. From the bottom of his heart, he sincerely admired Zhu Youjian for finding and persisting in the solution to the problem. This thing did not surpass the times.
Without great concentration and determination, there is really no way to implement it. But once the path becomes formal, it will be difficult for others to catch up. What was the reason that made the confused emperor suddenly change his temper? He became
