The Rise of the European Emperor

After a long time, Zhengde raised his head and said:

"I understand. Ma Aiqing means that since the number of heavy armored cavalry is small, it is better to use it as a trump card and use it at critical moments!"

Marin nodded, but added:

"That's true, but there is one condition. That is, the method I just said is only effective against the Mongolian cavalry, which is mainly light cavalry. The opponent does not have heavy crossbows or muskets, so there is nothing they can do about heavy armored cavalry. Crossbows and muskets, wearing plate armor is useless! Also, no matter what kind of cavalry, they are helpless in the face of tripping ropes and horse pits. Fortunately, Mongolian cavalry are cavalry themselves, and they will not make any tripping ropes and horse traps. Pit, because it will pit themselves first."

"I understand that on the battlefield, things change rapidly!"

"Actually, if you are dealing with Mongolian cavalry, the best way to use heavy armored cavalry is by surprise." Marin thought for a while and gave another suggestion. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

"What kind of surprise?"

"Aren't the Mongolian cavalry good at escaping? We can feign defeat first and lure the opponent to chase after them. After they enter the ambush circle, we will send out the ambush heavy cavalry from the side to divide and surround the opponent. In this way, they just want to I can't escape..."

After finishing speaking, Marin drew a schematic diagram on the ground to explain...

The core of this tactic is that the opponent cannot be aware of the existence of heavy cavalry. Facing light cavalry, if it is close combat, heavy cavalry wearing a full set of plate armor is basically invincible.

But the problem is that if the opponent knows the existence of the heavy cavalry, they will definitely not rush up to fight hand-to-hand. Therefore, the opponent cannot be informed of the existence of heavy cavalry in advance.

The opponent didn't know the existence of the heavy cavalry, and when the Ming army feigned defeat, they would rest assured to rush up and chase down the "defeated" Ming army. At this time, if the heavy armored cavalry suddenly rushed out from the flank, it would be able to cut off the opponent's back. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

It will be easier if it is divided into several strands and killed from the side, dividing the enemy into several parts to surround them. Without the space to sprint, the light cavalry faced the heavy cavalry, and they were basically meat on the chopping board.

Of course, there are not many heavy cavalry, and they still need the cooperation of other arms. But as long as the opponent's escape route is blocked, so that the opponent cannot charge up, the infantry can chop up the melons and vegetables of the light cavalry...

After the speech, Marin emphasized that if the Mongolian cavalry only came to a few hundred or a few thousand, don't use this kind of killer. Because, it's too wasteful.

It is only cost-effective to do so when facing tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry. Destroying tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in one breath will definitely make the northern border of Ming Dynasty peaceful for decades...

Marin remembered that Zhengde seemed to have encountered 30,000 to 50,000 Mongolian cavalry from the little Mongolian prince in 1517, and then fought for a few days. This battle was called "Yingzhou Great Victory". \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

However, although the Ming army won that battle, the little Mongolian prince escaped safely with the main force. Although the number of casualties of the Mongolian army may be far more than the "16 killed in battle" mentioned in Hei Zhengde's history books, it is certainly not many. After all, the biggest characteristic of Mongolian light cavalry is that they escape very well. This also led to the fact that the Ming Dynasty was unable to eliminate the various tribes of Mongolia, and it was difficult to even severely injure the opponent.

But if according to Marin's tactics, the opponent is deliberately put in, and then the heavy cavalry is used to close the door and penetrate the opponent's formation. Coupled with the cooperation of infantry and light cavalry, at least most of the opponents can be left behind. By then, it will be easy to wipe out 10,000 to 20,000 people.

But the premise is that the opponent cannot be made aware of the existence of the plate cavalry. This kind of thing can't catch up with the light cavalry, but if you fight head-on, it will definitely crush the light cavalry. If the light cavalry is cut off and surrounded by the plate cavalry, it will be no different from giving away the head. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

And if the Mongolian army knows the existence of melee bugs like plate cavalry,

He definitely wouldn't jump into the ambush circle foolishly. If you don't jump into the ambush circle, then the slow plate cavalry will be useless. At most, the Mongolian cavalry did not dare to rush forward, and the plate cavalry could not catch up with the opponent... The final result was a tie...

...

Marin's insidious tactics made the young Zhengde's eyes shine when he heard it, and he wanted to lead troops to wipe out the Mongolian ministries immediately. However, he needs to solve a problem first - you have to have plate cavalry...

A European knight has to go through more than ten years of hard training. Daming did not have professional plate armored knights. Even if Marin sent plate armor and tall horses, he had to train the plate armored cavalry from scratch.

Of course, with so many troops in the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to gradually train knights from children. In fact, you can also select soldiers with good physical fitness (convenient to wear plate armor for long-term combat) and strong martial arts from the army to train knights. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

There are many ancient martial arts masters in China. If it is a foot battle, the European knights do not have an advantage. But these ancient Chinese martial arts masters are definitely not as skilled as European knights in horse battles wearing plate armor.

Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to form a plate armored cavalry, it first had to select a group of young soldiers with good physical fitness and high martial arts skills (older ones were of no value in training) for European-style cavalry training. Calculated in this way, it is impossible to cultivate a strong heavy cavalry within a few years.

Because of the harsh conditions, it is estimated that there are at most several thousand people in the Ming army who can meet the standards. Of course, if thousands of heavy armored cavalry were really thrown into the battlefield, their power would be enormous.

However, the cost of forming thousands of heavy armored cavalry is also extremely scary.

But this is not a problem, because the unlucky Liu Jin is about to have his home ransacked. Old Liu was very rich. When his home was ransacked, he had 2.5 million taels of gold and over 50 million taels of silver in cash alone. This amount of money is definitely more than enough to build thousands of armored cavalry...\u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

...

Thinking of Liu Jin, Marin suddenly remembered, it seems that this guy is about to be unlucky. But after Liu Jin was unlucky, Zhengde couldn't hold back those ministers. It is said to be the "Eight Tigers of Zhengde", but except for Liu Jin, the other tigers are trash and cannot compete with the civil official group at all.

Even Zhengde died of illness after falling into the water, and Marin speculated that it might be a black hand under the civil service group. Because the civil service group can't bear Zhengde's uncontrollable. And, this guy seems to be too good at martial arts, which makes the military attache group show signs of rising...

Otherwise, just falling into the water will not kill you at all. Even if the lungs are choked with water, it is not a big problem. At most, you will be sick and bedridden for a while, and then you will be fine. You know, Zhengde was only 31 years old at the time, and it was the moment when he was young and strong.

Moreover, before Zhengde died, he vomited blood. And according to Marin's memory, even if the lungs were choked with water and got inflammation, they wouldn't vomit blood. Therefore, Marin believes that it should be that the imperial physician was bought by someone, who tampered with the medicine and deliberately made Zhengde's condition worse. Otherwise, a 31-year-old man in his prime would not be so easily lost. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Similarly, Zhu Youxiao, the carpenter emperor in the late Ming Dynasty, also died strangely. He also fell into the water and died, which is very similar to Zhengde's death.

Of course, before the two died, there was one thing in common - they were very unfriendly to civil servants...

Zhengde attaches great importance to the military, and there are signs of the rise of military officers. And Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Tianqi, allowed Wei Zhongxian to rectify the civil servant class...

Therefore, some people in later generations analyzed that the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty who were not friendly to civil officials may have been killed by the civil official group with similar methods...

"In this way, Liu Jin's knife is still useful..." Marin narrowed his eyes...

Although he is a European now, Marin still has feelings for Huaxia. After all, his soul comes from China, and he has completely preserved the memories and emotions of his previous life. It is impossible to change the body and change the position all of a sudden.

When he was studying history in his previous life, Marin despised the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty who were good at forming parties for personal gain. If these civil officials were willing to die for the country like the literati in Yashan in the Song Dynasty when the Ming Dynasty fell, Marin would still respect them.

However, the group of civil servants in the last years of the Ming Dynasty were too immoral. When Li Zicheng came, he surrendered to Li Zicheng, and when the Manchus entered the customs, he surrendered to the Manchus...

Therefore, Marin decided to interfere with history and find a way to save Liu Jin, so as to leave a knife for the young Zhengde...
