Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 804

[Chapter 804]

“Someone, go and call Liu Fu here.” Outside the study, Zhao Xu pondered for a while.

Inadvertently raising his eyes to look at the smoke column floating in the distance, he suddenly slapped his head.

I almost forgot an extremely important thing.

If the operation is successful, perhaps the royal army and the Qin army can attack Jianguan and Zhonglingguan with Qin-style muskets.

This matter is about the industry in a special period from the people to the war.

The production of some civilian commodities was temporarily suspended, and all workshops fully cooperated with the war to produce war materials.

In this way, the army can obtain enough weapons and ammunition in a short period of time.

Right now, the people of Britain, Frank, and Ross have assembled the powerful army and the Beidi army to attack him.

Combining contemporary experience, he knew that they were going to arm the Shizu and Beidi almost without thinking.

And according to the information he has, Britain has a complete firearms manufacturing system in Tianzhu.

This is their need to control Tianzhu.

After all, if they were attacked by the Indians, it would be too late for them to transport guns and artillery from Britain.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is whether the British factory in Tianzhu has imitated the front-loading rifles used by the royal army.

If imitation starts, and the firearms are prepared to be spread, and even provided to Shizu and Beidi, then it will be even more urgent to replace the firearms for the royal army.

However, he believes that even if the British factory in Tianzhu can manufacture front-loading rifles, due to the limitation of the size of the factory, it is impossible to supply them to Shizu and Beidi on a large scale in a short period of time.

Because Britain has a need to manufacture muskets in Tianzhu, but this demand will not be too great.

But it is obvious that the longer the delay, the larger the size of the Shizu army, the Beidi army, and the Xitu army equipped with front-loading rifles using conical bullets, the more unfavorable they will be.

So, it’s an arms race right now.

Jianguan and Zhonglingguan can be taken earlier or later.

But the muskets of the royal army must be upgraded in a short time.

Otherwise, even if Shizu and Beidi obtained 30,000 muskets, they could cause even greater casualties to the royal army by virtue of the steep mountain roads in Yizhou where one man guards the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it.

But for him, such unnecessary casualties are unnecessary.

Now that the Bing Zhansi has mastered the technology of breech-loading needle-shooting rifles, why not let the soldiers hold Qin-style muskets to kill the enemy quickly and unify Jiangnan as soon as possible.

Now, he is even more eager for the goal of unification.

After Britain, the Russians and Frank also intervened in the civil strife in Dasong.

Jiangnan has become an unhealable wound on Da Song’s body. The enemy can make Da Song unbearably painful as long as he sprinkles salt.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked Chang Wei and Ma Han to send orders.

So that they don’t have to rush to attack Jianguan and Zhonglingguan, but organize soldiers to train while confronting each other.

The content of the training is naturally the use of Qin-style rifles and brand-new gun postures and tactics.

Bing Zhansi has a dozen or so prototype guns that can be used for training.

In this way, as soon as the Qin-style rifle arrives, it can be transformed into combat power immediately.

Not long after, Liu Fu also came over.

Zhao Xu told him about the transfer of the people to the war.

“People turn to war?” This was the first time Liu Fu had heard this word.

Zhao Xu nodded, “This civil war is an emergency, and it is also a drill. If a bigger war breaks out in the future, Da Song will definitely enter the national system to engage in arms production.”

The birth of firearms made soldiers cheap and easy to obtain.

In the contemporary World War I and World War II, after the standing army was finished, it was the reserve force. If the reserve force was not enough, all young and strong men of sufficient age were directly recruited.

Those who are young and lucky, can still receive formal training, and those who don’t go far, are sent to the battlefield directly with a gun.

Today, he is only twenty years old, and the current world is at the technological level of the early and mid-nineteenth century.

In this life, there is no guarantee that he will not experience one or two world-class wars here.

And in his opinion, these wars are bound to revolve around the western world with Britain at its core and the eastern world with Dasong as its core.

The Western natives have enjoyed colonial dividends for hundreds of years and enjoyed world hegemony for hundreds of years. They have done whatever they want in these hundreds of years, unless they are defeated completely, they will fight to the end.

In the contemporary World War I, in order to maintain its old order and suppress Germany, Britain did not hesitate to fight this world war that killed tens of millions of people.

It can be seen how crazy the Onsa people are in order to maintain their status of enslaving the world.

In fact, World War II was just a continuation of World War I, and it was even more cruel than before.

It is precisely because of his eagerness to judge from contemporary experience that he has the awareness that he must win a world-class war in order to gain the right to speak.

This time the civilians turned to war, he regarded it as a preview in advance.

Let the Dasong court go through it from top to bottom in advance, so as not to be in a hurry.

Then, he explained to Liu Fu in detail what is the civil war, and told him what needs to be done.

“So that’s how it is.” Liu Fu suddenly realized, “It’s just that this will delay the production of commercial goods, but I don’t care about these right now.”

Since King Yan ordered him and Chang Wei not to just focus on Da Song, he During this time, I have been learning about countries other than Dasong.

Gradually understand King Yan’s foreign strategy, and also understand that there are not only Beidi wolves in this world, but also many wolves that are stronger than Beidi.

Realizing this, he woke up from the satisfaction of King Yan’s domination of Jiangbei, and he knew that if Dasong wanted to be prosperous and healthy, and Dasong’s people wanted to live and work in peace and contentment, they still had a long and difficult road to go.

Therefore, he theorem supports King Yan’s decision.

Furthermore, King Yan brought back a large amount of wealth by looting Dongpu during this period, and the Battle of Jinling gained the wealth of the Xie family.

These two huge fortunes are enough for them to toss about.

After discussing this matter, Liu Fu returned to the office of the Promise Palace, summoned the six ministers, Yang He, the head of the Mining Department and other officials, and asked them to turn from mining to manufacturing to a wartime state.

In particular, each workshop had to cooperate with Bing Zhansi to manufacture Qin-style rifle parts, and the steel workshop ensured the supply of high-quality steel.

Then temporarily organize a group of craftsmen to participate in the manufacture of paper shell bullets to ensure sufficient ammunition.

“Originally His Royal Highness ordered the Bingzhan Division to deliver 30,000 Qin-style rifles within three months. Now, one month has passed, and there are still two months.” After explaining to everyone, Liu Fu said firmly, “But now, we To provide the army with 120,000 Qin-style rifles within a month is a deadly order. From now on, the workshop will be used for two days, and the Changbai version will be rotated. People can rest, but machines cannot stop.”

” Yes, Prime Minister.”

Liu Fu looked serious, Zhu Tuo, Yang He, Chen Ce and other ministers could feel the urgency of this matter, and they couldn’t help but get nervous.

Back in their respective yamen, they immediately organized the people to fight.

For a time, the entire Yanzhou was shrouded in an atmosphere of urgency.
