On the turbulent sea, dozens of sea boats were sailing hard, and the soldiers of the Dongjiang army gathered on the sea boats were scattered everywhere with high fighting spirit.

"Ship Liu, if you want to talk about the strength of the Jianlu Eight Banners, it is really not to be underestimated."

Zuo Liangyu stood on the deck and looked at Liu Xingzuo and said, "It has only been a long time since then, the batch of muskets and cannons that were installed by Li Zicheng on the battlefield can be built.

Although there is still a big gap between them and the muskets and cannons owned by our Dongjiang Army, there is not much gap between them and Li Zicheng's troops.

Even if the military industry planned to be built in Tianjin and the arms specifications dumped by Li Zicheng's troops are intentionally up to the next level, but the level of Jianlu..."

"There is no need to think too much about the situation you mentioned."

Liu Xingzuo waved his hand and interrupted: "In the past, during the Jianhu ravages of Liaodong, he captured a large number of craftsmen, including many blacksmiths and cannon craftsmen.

Previously, western Liaoning and southern Liaoning were taken away one after another. With Huang Taiji's character, he would definitely believe Fan Wencheng and his advice, use the muskets and cannons seized on the battlefield to improve the treatment of these craftsmen, and take out a large amount of money.

Specializes in forging muskets and cannons.

However, the more they create, the greater the damage to their vitality.

Haven't you compared it seriously? Even though the muskets and cannons held by the Jianlu Eight Banners and Li Zicheng's troops are not much different, there is still a gap."

“There is indeed a gap.”

Zuo Liangyu nodded and said, "Through the observation team stationed to Li Zicheng's troops, the situation we found in the battlefield is still much stronger in terms of the durability of muskets and cannons."

"Yes, that's the key."

Liu Xingzuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty intends to force Jianlu into the arms race by dumping firearms produced by the Ming Dynasty from Li Zicheng's troops.

This open plot is upright.

This time, Li Zicheng's troops successfully captured the Xiuyan City area, and their firepower advantages with Jianlu on the battlefield were no longer so obvious, so Li Zicheng would definitely order another batch of arms.

The military industry raised by Tianjin will take out a higher level of muskets and cannons to meet the needs of Li Zicheng's troops, and then let Li Zicheng advance the subsequent offensive.

What will happen to the Jianlu Eight Banners in the face of this situation? Will you invest more money to build more sophisticated muskets and cannons in one defeat or two defeats?"

Then there is no need to say, it will definitely be.

Zuo Liangyu raised his eyebrows slightly. Influenced by the Pan-Liaodong strategy, Jianlu's strategic advantages in Liaodi were constantly decreasing over time.

From the perspective of the Jianlu Eight Banners, they are definitely unwilling to accept the situation of successive setbacks, especially for the ambitious Huang Taiji.

Liu Xingzuo narrowed his eyes and said, "If the range and power of the musket cannon are improved accordingly, the key lies in the material of the gun barrel.

According to what Counselor Jin said, the firearm "self-produced musket" sold to Li Zicheng's troops, and the military industry raised by Tianjin is at least three levels.

Everyone can try it soon.】

After all three levels are dumped, Jianlu will seize a batch on the battlefield in batches. The military industry raised by Tianjin will dump the self-generated muskets that depict the rifled from Li Zicheng's troops. This is what our Dongjiang Army is now using.

A musket.”

"Can such an excellent musket be dumped to Li Zicheng's troops?"

Zuo Liangyu's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she looked at Liu Xingzuo and said, "This self-generated musket that carved the rifle, whether in terms of range or power, is all..."

"Look, the people who are fighting on the front line are unconsciously caught in the comparison."

Liu Xingzuo smiled and shook his head: "When we installed this musket, the military preparatory institute far away in the capital city had developed a rifled flintlock rifle, but it was more difficult to produce.

At this stage, we need to keep a close eye on the Jingying to reserve production. When the various departments under the Jingying are under a certain level, they will be given priority to the Dongjiang Army."

"Oh my God."

Zuo Liangyu glared and said, "There is actually a more sophisticated flintlock rifle that is more powerful than the muskets held by our Dongjiang Army. What is the power of that?"

Zuo Liangyu's mood was very complicated.

At this moment, he had a different new understanding of the situation of the war. It turned out that the victory or defeat on the battlefield was not necessarily reflected in the army participating in the war, but also outside the battlefield.

Just like the arms race, by dumping arms to Li Zicheng's troops, we will continue to earn corresponding wealth, and then force Li Zicheng's troops to attack the Eight Banners of Jianlu, so that we can get more arms.

At the same time, the eight banners of Jianlu who were attacked suffered casualties on the battlefield on the one hand, and fell into the trap of an arms race. There are many things mixed behind this, many of which are unknown, all of which are

It takes time to settle.

"Your Majesty's pan-Liaodong strategy is precisely positioned in long-term stalemate, not measured by temporary gains and losses, which gives the Ming Dynasty a lot of initiative."

Liu Xingzuo's eyes were cold and fierce, and his expression showed fighting spirit: "Now, in the Liao area, the eight banners of Jianlu had failed, and they would inevitably have a short rest and even try to win over Li Zicheng's troops. So what our Dongjiang Army has to do next is to rush to go.

When North Korea went there, he used North Korea's springboard to break into the Kuandian Forts again.

After this period of rest, Jianlu must have added corresponding vitality in this area to ensure the stability of the barrier on the flank of Hetuara.

What we have to do is to take down the Kuandian Forts, kill a group of elite troops who built the Eight Banners, plunder a group of young and strong men, and create a certain strategic space for Li Zicheng's troops to guide the Dingliao Right Guards."

Using one's strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses is what the Ming army at this stage has been doing around the Liaodong area, especially the Dongjiang Army, which is highly mobile, which can be said to interpret the role of firefighting.

Zuo Liangyu thought for a while, looked at Liu Xingzuo and said, "Liu Shuai, do you think the negotiations between Counselor Kim and the Korean royal family can make breakthrough progress? After all, this time..."

“It will definitely be.”

Liu Xingzuo said confidently: "Just like the impact and harm caused to North Korea by building the Eight Banners in the past, the North Korean royal family will make the right choice.

Furthermore, I followed Tianjin, Denglai and other places to promote maritime trade to North Korea and helped the Korean royal family get a batch of taxes. The Korean royal family dared not go against our Ming Dynasty's wishes.

This time, our Dongjiang Army will use their North Korea as a springboard to cause a certain severe damage to the Jianlu Eight Banners in the Kuandian Fortress area, which will greatly increase the power of our heavenly dynasty!”
