Chapter 112 Power and the Army

?In that era, the struggle for power was always a struggle of subordinate force. "" This is also the reason why the bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty always devalued the status of soldiers, because the generals with high status would not easily be subordinated to any bureaucrat, while the generals with low status would have to be played with by the slanderous ministers.

This is a kind of stupidity. Throughout history, dynasties that deliberately suppress the status of soldiers will eventually bring great shame. Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty. It is not that military generals do not have high-ranking officials, but that in the dominant direction of the court, the armed forces have almost no right to speak. This is also the mood of the emperor in these dynasties, in terms of war, or they have to resist when facing invasion.

Such an army is still good to defend its territory, but it is a little worse to expect development. But we know that although China has a large population, its domestic resources are almost not much when it reaches everyone's heads. Therefore, it is a necessary means for China to explore overseas resources, which is the so-called stupidity of the emperors in history. Because the small peasant economy and self-sufficiency have bound their vision, and indulging in pleasure has also made him unprofitable.

Even if it was like Mongolia and the barbarians of the Qing Dynasty invaded, except for the founding emperor, their aggressive spirit soon faded and they were indulging in pleasure. I am afraid that this would be a problem with China's "traditional culture". Now, today, their eyes are still limited to their own side. Then history has proved with facts that such "foresight" is really terrible.

Compared with the royal family of the Song Dynasty at that time, the princes of the Mongolian Khanate had to have more pioneering intentions. Although in that era of underdeveloped communications, a huge country might not be an advantage, a race that could open its eyes to the world would inevitably obtain more resources, including many resources of manpower and material resources. The only thing about the decline of the Mongolian Empire was that they were nomadic barbarians and were not qualified to enjoy such a big cake. The decline was just a matter of time.

Relatively speaking, the "Huaxia Empire" aims at all directions, which has more purpose than the Mongols. If the area controlled is not for commercial routes, it must be for resources. For example, cities like Baku and Poji are very far away from the Huaxia Empire, and the cost of controlling them is not small. However, relatively speaking, Baku's oil resources are easier to exploit and control.

For the Mongols, their expansion was only due to their subconscious desire for resources. Sain Khanbadu and General Mengge's battle for artillery represents control of the strength of the army, and ultimately shows that everyone in the entire force has the final say.

General Mengge's own cavalry that used the Yulin Armor series armor was originally a competition of more than Khan Badu's subordinates. Moreover, the negotiations between his two sons may also allow him to restore supply. Of course, that refers to the equipment of ordinary cavalry. If we talk about firearms, he was worried that Zhao Fubo would not sell him excellent weapons and equipment. This is one of the factors that he fought for artillery. Another factor is that if he decides to have peace with the "Huaxia Empire" in the future, there is naturally a question of who can decide on this matter between him and Sain Khan Badu.

If we were in the Mongolian Empire, General Mengge was the general who commanded the entire Mongol Khan team. Although he did not sound more majestic in name than Sain Khan, in fact, his strength would be stronger. However, in this Battle of Mutuiyi, he and his brother's 40,000 troops were completely destroyed, resulting in great damage to his strength. This is also the reason why the relationship between politicians' status and military rights at the beginning of this chapter is explained.

Sain Khanba was obviously on his own land and did not want to be too restricted by General Mengge. Therefore, he paid great attention to the formation of his Qinzhan artillery army and did not want General Mengge to allocate his artillery army to gain more rights.

"General, the casting of bronze cannons may not be possible before the initial results will be achieved. It is better to assign the crossbow to the cavalry. This is something that can be achieved right in front of you. I guess it is not difficult for your subordinates to create shells!"

It is not difficult to manufacture the bottom exhaust shells of Zhao Xu. When this technology was thrust, both of them got it through different channels. Therefore, it is not difficult to manufacture shells. The difficulty is that they returned from defeating the battle and lacked raw materials for producing gunpowder. For this kind of thing, the Mongolians always used the method to grab them.

"It's not a problem to make gunpowder, but we are all short of some materials at this moment."

Of course, Sainhan Ba ​​knew that the materials on his own ground could not be allowed to be released by General Mengge. The reason why he wanted to make ammunition by himself was that the technology was kept confidential. Because everyone had their own skills and did not want others to learn it. Different people had different understandings of technology. Just like a relatively simple thing about grenades, the oval is easy to throw with ropes. When you have a handle, it is easier to throw. Just like the grenades used by the "Huaxia Army", they did not intend to throw them with ropes, but the grenades are smaller in shape and easier to carry.

"As for the materials, you don't have to worry. I have sent the navy to search. I believe that it will be possible to bring a lot of them back in no time!"

When the Mongols lacked resources, the first method they thought of was to rob. This time, the Khanate Khan suffered such heavy losses in the Shangri-La Mountains, so naturally, the great dukes who had been named by Sain Khan Badu were not allowed to be filial. At the same time, his navy was ordered to search along the Black Sea coast, that is, the plunder of raw materials, population and wealth.

This is different from the Mongolian army's concentrated attack. This kind of plundering attack does not have the purpose of occupying, just plundering. As long as you try to transfer the defenders, then rush into the city and plunder it back and leave. The plundering method of the navy is a feature that distinguishes it from other Mongolian troops. After all, other people did not occupy a land with oceans, and this plundering becomes more convenient after it cooperates with the cavalry.

The navy's mobility is much greater than that of the cavalry. Unconsciously, the army of the Khanate began to explore naval warfare. Although this method has not been greatly developed due to the restrictions of the Black Sea and the natural affinity of the nomadic peoples for the land, the reason is that it lacks self-consciousness and scientific research.

"The navy is going to search, Khan, then you have to remember, don't go there!" Please come to "
