Since the first day when wooden-handled grenades came out, if you want to have strong combat effectiveness, riding a horse and fighting with a knife and gun has become outdated.
But having only a wooden handle grenade as a weapon is far from enough.
If you want to restrain wooden handle grenades, there are actually many ways.
??For example, sneak attacks, such as dividing into small groups of troops to attack as much as possible, such as larger-scale operations, such as defensive operations, etc.
Then the close range attack range of the wooden handle grenade is also a big problem.
The reason why the Japanese pirate army and the Shiwei army suffered so much this time is that they basically encountered wooden handle grenades during the assault encounter.
Shiwei was even more unlucky. Most of his casualties were in the inevitable siege battles. In the fighting at the closest distance, a large number of people were killed by wooden-handled grenades.
"Otherwise, if the two armies are formally confronting each other, the throwing range of your wooden-handled grenade is at most one hundred meters, while the shooting range of other people's bows and arrows is only two to three hundred meters. How can you compare?"
¡°In addition, the cavalry can run very fast. After they keep pulling away, they turn back and shoot arrows. How useful are wooden-handled grenades?
So if the Dakang army gets carried away and attacks Shiwei because it defeated the Shiwei army this time, even if there are 200,000 troops carrying wooden handle grenades, they will probably end up in a disastrous defeat.
The same principle can also be applied to Xiqiang, Uighur and Qiyan.
Although the grassland people are not high in cultural level, their thousands of years of survival rules have destined them to have a sense of smell like wild beasts.
The more they suffer losses, the more they can find ways to deal with them based on the enemy's characteristics.
So if you have a clear understanding, you will understand that wooden handle grenades are only suitable for defensive battles and have advantages in fighting in Dakang.
Once on the grassland, the power of the wooden handle grenade will be greatly reduced, and it is not worth placing high hopes on.
This point must be emphasized when I give His Majesty's "Post-War Summary".
Lest they become complacent, they will be killed and stripped of their armor. In the end, they will suffer heavy losses, which will make all my plans come to nothing.
After all, although there are many people in Dakang, there are very few experienced elite soldiers.
Coming from modern times, I understand that it takes a lot of time and effort to cultivate an excellent soldier.
If you start the transformation and training from veterans, you will have strong combat effectiveness in two or three years.
"If you are a new recruit, no matter how bad the training is, on the real battlefield, whether you can withstand the pressure and whether you can fight to the death are two different things.
Among Dakang¡¯s armies, the Seven Guards of the Forbidden Army, whom I most admire, now include the reserves, and the total number is less than 100,000. It can be said that they have been completely disabled.
Then the more powerful frontier troops also suffered heavy losses.
The number of casualties in the northwest is said to be over 150,000.
There are almost more than 70,000 people on the northern defense line.
The northeastern frontier army was the worst. There were 300,000 defenders in Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, and Jinzhou. In the end, only more than 40,000 were left. ¡ª¡ªThis also includes the urgent replenishment of 70,000 to 80,000 young men in the two cities.
In fact, the Northeast Frontier Army can be described as being wiped out, which is not an exaggeration at all.
What do you think!
With just such a small number of soldiers, if you still want to sweep away the Shiwei, Xiqiang, Uighurs, and Qiyan, it¡¯s really a dream!
"However, if I take 50,000 people from the Forbidden Army to train, I am sure that I will train them to be as elite as the modern soldiers."
It¡¯s a pity that neither the emperor nor the ministers dared to do this.
They even hesitated to give Liu Mingjing 20,000 people to train a special team. It was said that Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin would come back soon to "assist" Liu Mingjing in training.
It sounds so nice, doesn¡¯t it mean that you don¡¯t want Liu Mingjing to have a huge influence in it?
alright.
??Leaving this matter aside, I know that Liu Mingjing is unlikely to rebel.
? Continuing from the previous point.
If you want to restrain the cavalry on the grassland, the ultimate weapon is the machine gun.
Dozens of machine guns swept away thousands of cavalry, and they were all thrown into the street.
??????????????? Besides, those rifles, whether front or breech, don¡¯t work.
Therefore, it was not until after World War I that the cavalry basically withdrew from the mainstream battlefield.
Therefore, I did not dream of getting rid of the enemies on the grassland early in the morning.
But it¡¯s not that I haven¡¯t worked hard in this direction.
&nIf the price is too high, just sell pepper at ten times the price and leave a way for these gringos to survive.
¡°It¡¯s just that it takes two to three years for pepper to grow into a tree, and it takes four years in total for it to start bearing fruits.
Based on the condition of the pepper branches in my garden, whether we can keep up with the Second Five-Year Plan is a question.
Therefore, as early as last year, I had already given orders to the foreign nobles who had contributed seeds and branches of flowers, plants and trees to my garden. I gave them pictures of pepper trees and asked them to search for such plants in the country.
If there is, then you can pay as much as you want and pay a lot of money to buy it.
¡°As a result, pepper trees were found on an island country in Southeast Asia. There were about hundreds of acres of plantings in the area controlled by a tribe.
They originally wanted to transport it to me, but they were at war for most of this year, and the pirates were surprisingly crazy, so they didn't make the trip.
I look forward to having the mature pepper trees shipped to Dakang next spring when the flowers bloom.
As long as the transplantation can be successful, it can shorten my waiting time.
¡°Pepper may not be my top product for a while, but there is no doubt that cigarettes and sugar can go out to sea with the first batch of merchant ships and be sold to every area within the Strait of Malacca.
This year's tobacco planting in Sichuan has achieved a bumper harvest, and the overseas country of Sulu is also selling large quantities of cured tobacco leaves to me to obtain more Yuwangfu luxury goods - they sell them to others, and then return them to me. You have to spend more expensive prices to buy all kinds of fairy goods from Prince Yu's Mansion, which is not worth it at all! So the king of Sulu never bothers, which is good!
If we do this, according to the expansion rate of tobacco cultivation, in two or three years, we will definitely be able to ship millions of tobacco sticks every year and sell them overseas.
This is the shipment volume after excluding the quantity required by Dakang.
Any modern person will know if cigarettes are a best-selling product.
"As long as a man touches it, at least five or six out of ten will like it.
Especially in this era when there are no entertainment activities, a man smoking a cigarette is like a fairy's day!
Believe me!
At that time, all we have to worry about is that there are not enough tobacco leaves and the production speed is not fast enough to meet everyone¡¯s crazy demand!
If this is done well, it will make more money than porcelain and tea!
By the way, my dumping plan must also include porcelain, tea, and silk.
"It's just that these things need not be mentioned at all. They are already mature products. I can only let the ships carry them to sell them. I don't have to worry about anything, so I didn't mention them.
As for the last piece of sugar, it goes without saying.
Because Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion purchased sugarcane frantically in the past two years and offered very good prices, wherever sugarcane can be grown, production has been expanded on a large scale.
If it weren¡¯t for the invasion of Japanese pirates in Fujian and Zhejiang this year, the sugar cane received by Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion would have doubled this year!
By next year, without the invasion from outside, the output of these sugar canes will gradually increase, allowing Prince Yu's Mansion to produce more sugar.
If cigarettes are only the favorite of men, sugar is the favorite of men, women, old and young.
¡°You can sell as much of this thing as you want. If the output is small, it won¡¯t even be sold to Dakang, let alone to Southeast Asia and west of the Strait of Malacca.
But then again.
My ultimate goal is definitely not to do business nearby, but to sell these products to Europe, West Asia, and Africa!
The Asian market is simply not enough to satisfy me, or to satisfy the dumping of the entire Dakang production machine.
But!
If you want to break out of the Strait of Malacca and break through the European blockade, you need to involve the last link of the five-year plan!
The four-masted sailing ship and the great voyage! !
