From Soldier To Emperor

"This 6-inch howitzer makes up for the firepower gap of the curved-fire gun."

Although the howitzer is good, the howitzer of this era and the later howitzer are completely two concepts. Not to mention the short range, the cost of ammunition is still high and unstable!

The shrapnel of this era has become a high-risk product, and it is easy to cause explosion accidents during transportation.

Therefore, this howitzer is not suitable for use as a main artillery, especially for expeditionary forces!

This is also the reason why the early howitzers were developed in the history of the earth did not completely replace the ordinary smoothbore that fired solid bullets.

Even with Richard’s Total War System, apart from the initially equipped artillery shells, there is no way to conjure up howitzer ammunition out of thin air. It must be manufactured by the Ordnance Bureau. Even if the cost issue is not mentioned, the safety of transportation alone is a big problem...

In addition to making up for the vacancy of the curved-fire artillery, Richard did not see the advantage of large-scale deployment of 6-inch howitzers.

When Richard defeated the last remaining Ottoman expeditionary army in the Western Regions and was busy receiving the spoils, Emperor Zhao of the Southern Song Dynasty, who had been paying close attention to the battle in the Western Regions, also received the message.

In addition, a large number of Dao soldiers who originally belonged to Li Cha in the Ming army who resisted the green skin suddenly disappeared, and the news of the disappearance of the commander of Jin Yiwei was also put together on the table of the Emperor Zhao in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although there is no perfect intelligence system in this era, people even don’t know what an ‘intelligence system’ actually refers to.

But it doesn't mean that there are no spies and expatriates in various countries to listen to the news. After all, knowing oneself knows that the enemy is not dead in a hundred battles.

Anyone in power understands this truth!

In addition, the information security system of this era is very rudimentary. Even if Richard has this consciousness, it is because the ‘hardware’ facilities of this era are too primitive to establish a systematic intelligence agency like his previous life.

Coupled with the frequent wars and the huge flow of personnel, it is difficult to guarantee that the news will not leak.

It would be good to prevent the Southern Song spies from propagating unfavorable remarks in Mingguo, and to engage in terrorist assassination politics.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty's Jin Yiwei was also unable to carry out terrorist assassinations in the Southern Song Dynasty. There were many civilian murderers in this era, but those who really dared to kill and were able to kill the imperial court officials were rare.

Whether it is to maintain the majesty of the imperial court or the stability of local politics, once the imperial order officer is murdered, any imperial court will spend a lot of effort to investigate, and a country’s attention will be put in the past. As long as it does not go abroad, it can basically only go to the deep mountains and old forests as savages. …

After all, assassins are also humans. They need to eat and drink, stay in a store outside, and buy things when they are hungry, which inevitably makes contact with outsiders.

Every key criminal who assassinates a court official will be wanted. As long as he comes into contact with outsiders, there is a risk of exposure. This is not to say that the portraits of wanted criminals are powerful, but the locals can judge whether they are outsiders through their accents, and then determine whether they are outsiders by their accents. Clothing and dressing will naturally think of wanted criminals.

When the time comes, the reporter will reveal everything. Even if you make a mistake, it doesn't matter. At most, you will be scolded for not receiving the reward.

We must know that with the productivity of this era, the amount of the wanted order reward is enough to make Shengdou Xiaomin jealous, and the intensity of private reporting alone is enough to make it difficult for wanted criminals to make any progress.

Of course, the premise is that the court is really willing to make such a great effort to arrest

This principle is the same as that of Richard's previous government. It is not that it cannot be caught, but depends on the amount of investment. If the prisoner really attracts the attention of the high level of the country, as long as he does not go abroad, he will be arrested every minute!

Of course, ninety-nine percent of prisoners cannot attract high-level national attention...

Unless you really want to murder a high-ranking official in a province...

The inspection technology of this era is not as good as Richard's previous life, but it also exposes those who assassinate court officials to the risk of exposure, so the assassination of Southern Song officials is not worth the loss for Richard.

The same reasoning applies to the Southern Song Dynasty. Unless Richard can be killed, the killing of many imperial officials will not have much effect in the eyes of the Southern Song Dynasty high-level officials. On the contrary, it is easy for the entire network of spies to be uprooted.

"This Richard method is really weird. Since his rise, all the masters of the Buddhist and Taoist families have become hermits. Only a group of trash fish remains in the folks. Is it true that Richard has achieved what Taoism said? Celestial beings on the ground?"

Emperor Zhao covered his forehead and spoke in a rather frustrated voice.

All his trusted ministers were present, so there is no need to worry that his frustrating remarks will affect the morale of the Song Dynasty.

In fact, the weather in the Song Dynasty is very good now. The main greenskin forces in the north have been annihilated. The Song army is regaining lost ground in an organized way, clearing away the weak greenskin tribes such as goblin farts left over from the land where the greenskins have ravaged. It's a certainty.

If it were not to reduce losses, the Song Army would have long been pushed to the Central Plains area under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and even soldiers were near the ruins of Chang'an City!

Therefore, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com dynasty’s main battle group in the northern expedition of the Ming Kingdom has taken the mainstream, and even formulated a specific strategic plan. Basically, a large army from Sichuan to attack the sparsely populated Tufan area under the rule of the Ming State, and then a main force from the hinterland of the Song Dynasty. The army attacked the northwestern region of Ming State.

The battle against Green Skin gave the Song country a contingent of elite soldiers. Although the Southern Song Dynasty spends a lot of money and is about to run into a fiscal deficit, the army is more capable of fighting than when the country was first established!

Coupled with the Lumi guns that were successively bought at high prices from the defeated Ottoman Expeditionary Army, the craftsmen of the Southern Song Dynasty successfully imitated them and replaced the inferior matchlocks originally made by themselves.

Even the artillery, the Southern Song Dynasty had already built the first sample, and even the Emperor Zhao of the Southern Song Dynasty personally watched the test gun.

Of course, the mass production of artillery is far less easy than that of muskets, and the artillery forged in the Southern Song Dynasty is a small artillery obtained from the Ottoman Expeditionary Army. There are no samples of real field artillery, let alone imitations.

The artillery of the Southern Song Dynasty was actually a mortar the size of a bowl. It had good damage at close range, but its range was only comparable to that of Lu Mi...

It can be said that the firearms of the Southern Song Dynasty have been reversed from leading Mingguo to lagging Mingguo. If Richard recruits the Napoleon era gun army in the total war system, it can basically form an indelible generation gap with the Southern Song Dynasty. !

However, the Southern Song Dynasty did not know that he was about to become a weak person who was about to be beaten when he fell behind. The voice of the main battle group in the DPRK was very loud, especially General Yue Fei, who was publicly promoted as the leader of the main battle group!

Yue Fei was a famous general on the battlefield. He had the highest right to speak among the generals in the DPRK, and even the civil official group was in awe of Yue Fei.
