Chapter 427: If you want to go right, go left first
The official surnamed Jin wants money not because he is greedy for money, but because the six towns in the north are too poor! So people are poor and have short ambitions. As long as they are given enough money, they can talk about anything other than rebellion.
His boss, Mr. Cui, the governor of Qingyuan Prefecture, has suffered losses of up to 3,000 guan in the past few years since he took office. This was not a last resort. He sent his subordinates over again and again to see if he could get money from the north.
The Navy was trying to get some luck here. In the end, he didn't expect Deng Fei to be so generous and gave him eight hundred taels in one go. The shortfall was almost made up.
Wait, some people say that three thousand taels of silver converted into silver should be about 3,000 taels. How can it be solved with 800 taels? In fact, 800 taels of silver can be exchanged for 650,000 taels in Li Dynasty, which is almost
It's two thousand eight hundred strings.
To explain this problem, we have to start with the Qian Law of the Li Dynasty.
It is said that since before the Wanli War to Aid Korea, the Li Dynasty has not used silver as its main currency; and the Li Dynasty is short of copper, and it has always followed the "temporary official mining system" of silver mines.
In chaos, the main currency used for transactions at that time was cloth. After the Wanli War to Aid Korea began, because a considerable part of the Ming army's military pay was paid in silver, silver gradually began to circulate in the Korean market.
Because the war had led to the decline of people's livelihood, and the Ming Dynasty's envoys were all experts at extorting bribes, the Li Dynasty's finances had been on the verge of collapse. There was an example during the reign of King Gwanghae, when North Korea built a pontoon bridge for the "Angel"
, as a result, the envoy said that there was no need to repair the bridge, and that it would be ready after being folded. As for crossing the river, we would find a way ourselves. This move shocked the Korean monarchs and ministers, so they had to do it.
By the time of the Battle of Bingzi, the king had fled, and who cared about money laws? After Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, because the Li Dynasty's own money-making technology was not up to standard, it was not enough, so the Li Dynasty and the two western countries bordering the Qing Dynasty
Local officials (Pingan Road in Kansai and Huanghai Road in Haixi) purchased clear copper coins for use.
The Bibian Secretary of the Li Dynasty said that since it is better to buy than to make, he might as well buy the money from Daiqing (although the outflow of copper coins is not allowed in Daiqing). One thousand six hundred taels of silver can buy 1.3 million copper coins, so Yan Xingxing
The regiment bought money from Liaodong before returning to China. The phenomenon of "provincial strangers" in the Li Dynasty was extremely serious. Due to insufficient money production and circulation, there were only 230 coins per pass.
However, there was something even more surprising. When the official surnamed Jin saw the thousand-foot silver bars in Beihai Town, he was curious. However, when he heard the explanation from the professionals in charge of military supplies and logistics of the Beihai Navy, he was overjoyed.
As mentioned before, one tael in the Qing Dynasty was 37.5 grams, and the silver was all 925 silver; while the silver bars in Beihai Town were one thousand pure silver, and one tael was 50 grams. After converting the two sides, the actual value of this batch of silver bars has exceeded
One thousand one hundred taels, far exceeding the expectations of the official named Jin!
For this expedition, Deng Fei received a total of two thousand taels of silver bars as extra funds. He was worried that Li Chao would not recognize Beihai Town's silver coins, but he actually used them.
After the official surnamed Jin finished counting the amount of silver bars, he regained his full smile, leaned in front of Deng Fei and whispered: "If Mr. Deng wants to buy food and grass, you can send someone to tell my subordinates, and they can do any chores."
It’s done. I wonder if your Excellency is interested in karaoke, so I can send someone to make arrangements.”
Deng Feixin said, "Good guy, there is a completely different attitude between giving money and not giving money!" However, he still thanked him respectfully, saying that he was busy with military affairs and could not afford it.
When the official surnamed Jin returned to Qingyuan Mansion with the money, the first thing Fuyin did after getting the money was to take him to the theater to show off. Cui Fuyin hugged him from left to right and returned the favor.
The official surnamed Jin said that there were too few local geishas. If we were in Hanyang, there would be hundreds of brothels and thousands of geishas to choose from.
In these days, the monthly salary of Li Chaozheng, a first-grade official, was only rice, three shi, eight dou, and two shi, let alone a second-grade official like Cui Fuyin. He was so poor that it was impossible to live without corruption.
On the next day, Cui Fuyin felt that the Beihai Navy was really interested and that he should reciprocate with courtesy, so he ordered several carts of wine and meat to be sent to the Beihai Navy's camp.
When Deng Fei heard that officials from the Li Dynasty had brought wine and meat again, he felt very tired of it. Originally, he had eaten bibimbap, cold noodles and barbecue in another time and space, and he thought it was acceptable, so before that, Qingxing Mansion sent
He did not refuse wine and meat when they were offered to him. Unexpectedly, Deng Fei vomited as soon as he tasted it after it was cooked, thinking that no wonder later generations would treat kimchi as a national treasure.
Not to mention Deng Fei, the soldiers in the Marine Battalion also found it difficult to swallow the pigs and sheep sent to them, so they were later sent to the Ainu Camp. Unexpectedly, the soldiers in the Ainu Camp had long been whetted by the rations from the Northern Navy.
, except for the mutton and pork, I threw them all away after taking two bites.
Actually, Deng Fei didn't see how the pigs in Li Dynasty were raised, and the meat... Speaking of which, when you go out to stay in a hotel in Li Dynasty these days, you must be careful when going out at night. I won't say whether it's black or not.
, if you are unprepared, something will push your butt from behind. When you take a closer look, you will realize that the pig is hungry, the pig is hungry...
On May 29, the fifty-third year of Qianlong's reign, the Beihai Navy's Lushou Mountain Division on the eastern front took half a day's rest and captured Khuramukalen in one fell swoop. The troops reached Xitu Mountain. After learning the news, Deng Fei immediately ordered Beihai
The two motor-sailing boats No. 1 and No. 2 entered Mokuowei Bay to the north to provide artillery and logistical support to Lu Shoushan's headquarters.
On May 30th, after a long journey, Jiuzang's troops finally crossed the Laobai Mountain and arrived at Erduoli. This place is also called Aodong City, also known as Actun. It follows the Lefushan River flowing through this place to the north.
More than a hundred miles away, there is the famous Jingbo Lake in later generations. When there is abundant rainfall, you can drive a boat directly to Ninggu Pagoda.
In the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, the Qing government designated Changbai Mountain as a sacrificial mountain and designated more than a thousand miles around it as a restricted area. According to the example of enshrining the Five Mountains in Zen, Changbai Mountain was revered as a god. Officials appointed by General Ning Guta held memorial ceremonies in Jilin City every spring and autumn.
.Due to the one-hundred-year ban, this place has become almost deserted. However, the soldiers who arrived first discovered that there were actually people cultivating here. The fires in several thatched huts were not extinguished, indicating that these people had just escaped not long ago.
At this time, the 5,000 soldiers and horses sent by the official security guarding the Hunchun Camp to support Jilin City had crossed the Burhatu River, and a day later they ran into the Third Regiment of the Northern Navy, which had been preparing for the day in Erduoli.
Faced with a fierce counterattack by more than 2,000 people from the Northern Navy, the Qing army suffered heavy losses after organizing dozens of attacks and had to retreat to Hunchun. Jiuzang immediately ordered his troops to attack eastward and repeatedly repelled the remnants of the Qing army along the way.
After being harassed, we finally arrived at the west bank of the Gahali River and contacted the impatient Marine Battalion who was already waiting in Qianyuanpu.
Deng Fei immediately ordered the river fleet to set off northward. He first bombarded the defenders of Mizhan Karen, and at the same time brought the third regiment to the east bank of the Tumen River, and then captured Mizhan Karen. At this point, the door for the Hunchun Qing army to escape westward was firmly locked.
closure.
After receiving the report from the Jiuzang Division, the troops on the western front who had rested for three days at Tuijiao Station, after repelling dozens of crazy attacks by the Qing army, also began to move westward, gradually approaching the east bank of the Lafa River.
The Qing army's cross-river raiding force did not want to intercept the Northern Navy, but they could not stop it at all. After the battle at Ninggu Tower, Zhao Xin used the five green tracked armored vehicles again. They were useless in the mountain jungles, and now they were
There is a place for it to be used in river valleys and plains.
At first, some tough men rushed up and used sabers and sledgehammers to try to break open the shell of the green monster, or jumped from horseback to the armored vehicle to kill the hateful machine gunner. Who knew that it was actually a tiger biting a hedgehog, and there was no way to get rid of it.
Mouth. After the soldiers of the Northern Navy sitting in the armored vehicle killed those who came close one by one, no one dared to come up and fight in close combat.
After that, several units of the Qing army gathered together and used flanking tactics to attack more than 500 Northern Navy troops who were following five armored vehicles. What stunned them was that five green monsters quickly formed a plum blossom formation.
The Beihai soldiers were surrounded in the middle, and the dense rain of bullets knocked the charging cavalry off their backs, causing heavy casualties.
After two failures, the Qing raiding troops had no choice but to retreat to the west bank of the Lafa River and demolished two pontoon bridges.
On June 1, the Northern Navy's Western Front Attack Force arrived on the east bank of the Lafa River and began to set up positions. The two sides were now ten miles apart, with a river in between.
As a result, the two sides faced off across the river for several days. During this period, the Northern Navy's reconnaissance team took two calculation soldiers to swim across the Lafa River late at night, and set up a forward artillery observation post on the hill north of the Qing army's camp.
Now not only Qinggui, but also many lower-level Qing soldiers know that the Northern Navy's artillery can hit far. In the past few years, during several battles with the Qing army, the Northern Navy would sometimes rather suffer casualties than wait for the enemy to get within ten miles.
The artillery bombardment was launched only within 10 kilometers. This gave the Qing army an illusion, and everyone thought that the Northern Navy's artillery was no more than ten miles away.
Well, this is actually not because Zhao Xin is so far-sighted and deliberately dug a big hole, but because the artillery technology of the Bei Navy is really not very good.
It is said that when performing indirect aiming, the artillery sight is not pointed at the target, but at an artificially set aiming point, which can be a benchmark or a calibration device; if conditions do not permit, you can also choose an obvious ground reference object.
At this time, there are two connecting lines for the artillery, one is the "line of sight" between the artillery and the reference object, and the other is the "eye line" between the artillery and the target. By measuring the angle between the line of sight and the eye line
, and then adjust the sight so that it is at the same angle as the gun barrel. At this time, when aiming at the reference object, the muzzle will point to the target.
In addition to the shooting direction, you also need to adjust the shooting angle, which means adjusting the height of the muzzle. This can be done by directly checking the distance and type of ammunition from the firing table, so as to adjust the muzzle pitch, and then determine the charge number and fuze type, and then you can shoot.
Already.
Although in another time and space, many electronic devices can be used to obtain target orientation, distance, elevation and other data, Zhao Xin does not want to rely on these. Talent is the key. Let alone whether it can be purchased, over-reliance on equipment from another time and space, in case
If something goes wrong, the North Korean Navy's cannons will become mute.
Three years have passed since the first appearance of the Northern Navy artillery in the 50th year of Qianlong's reign. Although the skill level of the artillery is constantly improving, it has started from scratch because of the poor foundation. At present, the level of calculation soldiers has just passed. If we say
The scouts are the eyes of the artillery, and the calculation soldiers are the brains of the artillery. Both are indispensable.
In order to destroy the Qing army's defense line in one fell swoop, Zhao Xin deployed ten D30s this time, plus the fifty 75mm field guns that had just arrived from Ningguta, as well as the 36-mm field guns attached to the two infantry regiments.
Door mortar.
When everything is ready, the squad leaders of each gun of the North Korean Navy will also calculate individual corrections based on the individual differences between their own guns and the reference guns.
The so-called "benchmark gun" is the one with the best performance and highest accuracy among the artillery of the same type. It must be test-fired first. Generally, after two test-fires, the forward observation station calculates the force-to-force ratio based on the deviation of the explosion point.
Only after the shooting elements have been calibrated can you enter the effective shooting.
The entire process requires coordination and tacit understanding, and no mistakes can be made in any link in order to accurately cover long-distance enemies.
This is really not something that someone can just shout and fire, and thousands of cannons can be fired at once. Even long-distance strikes in the era of smoothbore cannons can only be carried out by calculating the firing table. Of course, small cannons at visual distance are not included in this list.
Now who dares to tell Zhao Xin that it is easy to engage in artillery? Zhao Xin, who has many experience of leading artillery in combat, is sure to spit on his face. Don't talk about the material of the body, let's talk about mathematics first!
Isn't it nonsense for a time traveler who can't even figure out trigonometric functions to want to build long-range artillery in ancient times?! This is not something that can be done by just finding a few Feng Shui masters who can read compasses.
The first ones to fire were a 75mm field gun and a D30 howitzer produced by Beihai Town. The first shots of the two benchmark guns hit the first line of defense of the Qing army camp. Although the Qing army died several
Personally, but it didn't cause much accident.
However, when D30's second shot passed the central army's position and hit the Qing army's rear camp twenty miles away, Qinggui was so frightened that he turned pale and finally realized that he had been deceived.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But it is too late to say anything at this time. The time has come for the North Korean naval artillery to go on a killing spree. The sky-blocking artillery fire passed over the Lazha, which is only twenty meters wide.
The river exploded, causing tens of thousands of Qing troops to cry like ghosts and howl like wolves.
As the artillery fire extended to the west, more than 3,000 Northern Navy soldiers jumped out of the trenches and rushed to the river beach carrying sandbags and wood that had been prepared. Dozens of minutes later, the two rivers of water were knee-deep and could accommodate people and armored vehicles.
The "road" for traffic has been paved.
Although Qinggui ordered a counterattack, as the five armored vehicles crossed the Lafa River, spitting out tongues of fire and sweeping away all lives within hundreds of meters, the Qing troops on the front line had completely collapsed and turned around to escape.
.
Less than an hour after the war started, Qinggui learned that the Qing army had been completely defeated. He didn't even have time to commit suicide, so he was helped up on his horse by his subordinates, walked through the shrapnel-filled battlefield, and fled back to Jilin City with thousands of remaining soldiers.
In this battle, the Beihai Navy captured more than 15,000 Qing prisoners and seized countless ordnance and supplies. However, half of the prisoners of war were wounded. After asking afterward, I found out that these people had heard of the "Raise" in Beihai Town.
"Dead man, flesh and white bones", rather than fleeing back without any treatment, it is better to surrender and still have a way to survive; and the source of the rumor is the group of Qing soldiers who were prisoners in the Fuldan City prisoner-of-war camp two years ago.
At this time, Fukang'an had led an army of 10,000 to Jilin and learned about the defeat of the Qing army in Lafahe. While gathering the remaining defeated generals, he arranged defense with the assistance of Qinggui. Fukang'an mobilized the people of the city and
Deep trench fortifications were dug on the east bank of the Songhua River, and dozens of Yaksa warships loaded with artillery were sent to patrol the river, preparing to fight to the death.
Then, Fukang'an used the seal of "General Dingbei" and ordered the eight thousand Qing troops who had gathered to hunt the animals to go south and station themselves twenty miles north of Jilin City.
Although the Northern Navy's offensive is fierce at the moment, for the Manchus, Jilin City must not be lost even if all the cities are wiped out. Because once Jilin City is captured, the endless Liaohe Plain will be across the Wendeheng Mountains and Arden Mountains to the southwest.
There is no longer any danger to defend. For the Manchus, the situation at that time will be even more terrifying than at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
After the reconnaissance team sent back the news that the Qing army had retreated to Jilin City, Zhao Xin waited on the west bank of the Lafa River for a few more days. When he learned that all the Qing troops who were hunting Ula animals had gone south, he sent a battalion to attack the east bank of the Songhua River.
The Qing army implemented the strategy of luring the enemy.
When Fukang'an saw that the Beihai Navy was moving and that there were not many people, he ordered four thousand cavalry from the Xi'an Eight Banners and Qinghai Eight Banners to attack. But then the five green monsters appeared again, and the four thousand cavalrymen turned around and ran away in fright.
Yang Yuchun also participated in this battle. Although he had unparalleled arm strength, the 150-pound bow could only hit a white dot the size of a sesame seed on an armored vehicle, which only shed some patent leather. When he saw a general next to him,
After being beaten to pieces by the "Rapid Cannon" mounted on the top of the green-skinned monster, he immediately turned around and ran away.
After Zhao Xin saw the Qing army retreating to the outskirts of Jilin, huddled together, and assuming a fight-or-die attitude, he immediately ordered Hu Ji to lead four battalions to arrive at the north bank of the Zesong'e River at night and attack the city of Wula.
Two days later, Fukang'an and Qinggui learned that Dashouula City had fallen. At this time, they were still thankful that they had transferred their troops to the south in advance, otherwise it would have been another big defeat. But then, an urgent report came from Hunchun.
Qinggui was stunned, and Fukang'an was also livid.
Tens of thousands of people from the North Navy are besieging the Hunchun camp. Thousands of people are in urgent need, and the official and security guards are weeping and begging for help!
"What a move to move right before leaving! Mr. Shuzhai, you and I have all been fooled by Zhao Xin."
"Poof!" After hearing Fu Kangan's words, Qinggui, who had been exhausted for a long time, could no longer hold on. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the sky.
On June 15, the fifty-third year of Qianlong's reign, Qianlong learned that Dashou Ula had been captured and Hunchun was besieged. He was furious. He first sent his guards to Suona Qinggui, Jilin, and returned to the capital to interrogate the crime, which was interrogated by six ministers and nine ministers. At the same time, he issued an edict and transferred
Fifty thousand green battalion troops from Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi went northward, leaving the border by land and sea to aid Jilin.
For a time, the whole world turned their attention.
