Nanming, This Emperor is a Bit Stable

If you like it, please read more. Looks quite comfortable, quick update

Nanming did have a chance. The north was too broken at that time and had no potential for war. As long as the first wave was blocked, it could rest for at least 10 years. It's a pity that there is so much internal fighting

It's really well written. The author should update more and don't be a eunuch.

The author writes very well. What he does as an emperor is military power, financial power, and appointment power.

Now that firearms are on the rise, firearms will be the main force in killing enemies in the future. The more firearms there are, the fewer spearmen and sword and shield men there are to cover them. This also means that the cavalry will have to flourish for a long time. And it must be the traditional charging cavalry. And it is not the mounted archer cavalry, nor the musketeer revolving cavalry that emerged in Europe at this time. Rather, it is a pure cavalry charge. Firearms are so efficient in killing people. This forces everyone to make this choice. The best way to deal with cavalry is cavalry. In this era of alternating hot and cold weapons, it is the most difficult era and the most challenging era for generals. The dawn of a new era has emerged. The age of firearms is bound to come. However, the darkness before dawn is the darkest. Poland's charging cavalry, Ottoman's mixed hot and cold troops, and even Persian armored cavalry can still blast those troops that use pure firearms at this time. Including the servants of the Ming Dynasty, the old camp of the Chuang Army, and the Bagara of the Donglu, most of the firearms troops who can still fight are not recognized by the mother. Before the problems of flint guns and bayonets, fire rate and cost are solved, there will be only matchlock guns in the era of alternating hot and cold weapons, and the logic of raising troops will be different. A flint gun is equipped with a bayonet and can be used to pull cannon fodder. Disaster victims are perfect manpower. In this era of alternating hot and cold weapons, ordinary people without three to five years of off-the-job training cannot defeat those professional samurai servants. The command ability of ordinary generals and officer corps, pure flintlocks, bayonets, etc., Is actually lower than the requirements in the alternating era of hot and cold, and can be copied. Famous generals and geniuses say otherwise, it is the same in every era. If the dawn of the alternating era of hot and cold never breaks, then, to a certain extent, the correct solution is to use the Ming Dynasty's military household soldiers, or even the Eight Banners soldiers of the Donglu, or to regress to the Tang Dynasty's soldiers. It can even be said that at this time, the small aristocrats who have returned to cold weapons, the retired soldiers who bring their own land and tenant farmers, and the tens of thousands of armed aristocratic soldiers like Mulan will be more capable in field battles than the pure firearms soldiers who are just stumbling. But now that the light before dawn has been seen, the travelers have no choice but to go on. Now, a single pure infantry battalion has to coordinate musketeers, spearmen, and heavy infantry. You need to train spearmen, you need to train musketeers, you need to train heavy armored infantry, none of them can be missing. There is only one marching shooting. In order to solve the problems of the size of the matchlock gap, open flames causing the gunpowder to burn on the soldiers, and misplaced shooting during the march, people who died due to gunpowder being ignited by the matchlock during training had to be in their 50s or 60s before they figured out the best gaps and alternate drum beats. These are just filler lines. What is even more needed is an elite field force with cold weapons to protect these premature babies in the new era through the most difficult first years of life. Cavalry is needed. Heavy armor is needed. Martial arts and hand-to-hand combat soldiers are needed. Without these, any phalanx system modified by the radical army with six deep rows of arquebusiers and firearms ratio increased to 70 to 80%... The field battle will be defeated. In fact, if we talk about the unit that most resembles the Agricultural Corps at this time, it is actually the Eastern Tatars. Heavy artillery, heavy armored infantry, heavy armored cavalry... These are all things that only a powerful farming empire can afford, but instead they were created by a group of fishermen and hunters. However, the uprising troops of the farming people turned into nomadic regiments. Very black and helpless. Donglu is now attacking cities like Jinan and Kaifeng, and has summarized a complete set of experience in infantry and artillery coordination. After completing preparations such as trenching and blockade, a city like Kaifeng has enough heavy artillery. After the siege, the siege officially begins, and it usually takes three or four days to capture it. The city wall is very thick and cannot be blown down. But why bombard the city wall? If the Donglu come to attack, they will finish digging trenches and blockade them. The first step was to forcibly requisition the people, coats, etc., Weave wicker baskets, fill them with earth, and build forts. Wicker baskets filled with earth served as a good buffer against shelling from the opposite side. The second step is to set up artillery positions and select a point on the battlements of the city wall, assuming it to be point B. The city wall cannot be blown open, but the battlements are very thin, and soldiers on the city wall need the protection of the battlements. Donglu will choose to gather heavy artillery, bombard point B, destroy the battlements, forcing the defenders to lose their foothold and disperse to both sides. At this time, select point A fifty feet away to the left, and select point C fifty feet away to the right. Destroy all the battlements from A to C so that the defenders cannot have cover on the walls. The third step is to assemble heavy artillery and bombard point B. Block A and C. It is not intended to blast open the city wall, but to break the city wall bricks into pieces so that the rammed earth inside breaks up and slides down, forming a sloping earth slope on the city wall instead of a vertical city wall. The artillery provided cover, the musketeers came close and fired to suppress it, and the heavy armored infantry attacked and captured point B and climbed onto the city. Finish. From Songshan to Yangzhou and then to Guangzhou, the routine was almost the same: the artillery blasted and the infantry charged. But now, the invading army is like a nomadic army, lacking heavy armor, heavy cavalry, and heavy artillery. There is little they can do against a big city like Kaifeng. In the age of firearms, nomadism could not defeat farming. Take the Battle of Tongguan, which truly determined the fate of surrender and the rise of the Tartars, as an example. Before the heavy artillery arrived, the Chuang army and the Donglu people stared at each other's camp, neither of them able to chew it down. After the heavy artillery arrived, the barracks of the intruders could no longer hold up, and a gap was quickly opened. No. 11 Blasted open the gap. Under such circumstances, the Shun army was still able to use heavy armor against heavy armor, cavalry against cavalry, and counterattack with 300 heavy cavalry to block the gap. So much so that Nikan, Geng Zhongming, Shang Shan and others had to counteract the attack of the three hundred cavalry. At the same time, the Shunjun infantry can still flank and attack behind to cover the retreat of the main force. In the confrontation with cold weapons and heavy armor, the Chuang army relied on counterattacks to stabilize the situation. The Donglu did not pass through the Shun army's camp until the next day. At that time, the main force of the Shun Army had already retreated in an organized manner without any great losses. This also corroborates the performance of the previous battle at Shanhaiguan where Guan Ning's army was basically defeated in one day. But this also left a psychological shadow on Li Zicheng: if he defended the city, he would not be able to defend it under the heavy Tatar artillery. He wanted to fight mobile warfare, but sadly found that the Tatars could not outrun the mobile march that he was best at. The next day Ma Shiyao wanted to learn from Meng Da, and the reason was the same as the reason why he assumed Kaifeng: once the heavy artillery arrived, Tongguan could not be defended at all, and the field camp outside retreated, and Ma Shiyao had no choice but to surrender if he wanted to succeed. Not only the invaders, but even the Western Army, Zhang Xianzhong was shot by an arrow and bled out. Before the blood dried up, he commanded the troops to counterattack and defend, but still did not let the Donglu take advantage of the chaos to break into the camp. He did not bleed out until the situation was stabilized, and then died. The quality of its subordinate troops is very good. The heavy infantry and cavalry of the invading army will not be bad. Moreover, there were many generals in the Chuang Army who could command heavy infantry, heavy cavalry and other cold weapons. Li Dingguo was capable of fighting in the Western Army, but he could not defeat He Zhen, the Chuang Army. He Zhen was not the most capable fighter in the Chuang Camp. That's why Zuo Liangyu would chase Zhang Xianzhong and fight Li Zicheng as much as possible. He would run and slip away when he could. The problem is, times have changed. At first glance, it sounds like a scene from a fairy tale. The Nascent Soul's powerful nails and hair fall off into the mortal world and become magical weapons for practitioners. It seems that a 33-fold Kofilin gun on a sunken ship in Western Europe has greatly changed the war pattern, offensive and defensive models, and city defense systems in East Asia. Not really. The overall cultivation levels of both sides are similar, but their ideas are different. In fact, this is another "lag behind because of advanced", which is contrary to the Tao. Because the handmade textile industry was too advanced, the machine-made textile industry lagged behind. Because the steam engine was too advanced, the internal combustion engine was left behind. Because the internal combustion engine is too advanced, the electric era is lagging behind. Because the technology for building city walls was too advanced, the ultra-thick model of rammed earth walls was adopted hundreds of years before the bastion era. Therefore, heavy artillery must lag behind. Because it was useless in the early days, it was not the stone masonry wall found in Western Europe. As for the Nanjing City Wall built by Emperor Hongwu to a high height, with bricks wrapped in rammed earth, and a layer of rammed earth tens of meters behind, it would be useless if you asked Urban to bomb it till the chamber exploded. If the main threat is nomads, how about building four oxen to pull heavy artillery that can travel ten miles a day to build wool felt tents? Or build a 130-pound Weiyuan cannon that can be carried on horseback for marching? The stone fortress greatly stimulated the development of high-pressure heavy artillery technology. Rammed earth walls and the threat of unarmored nomads will lead the development of firearms in the direction of low-pressure spray guns. High-caliber heavy artillery in front of rammed earth walls and nomads is completely inferior to using small-caliber spray killing mode. It is impossible to focus on this aspect in terms of technology. There may even be another path that is easier and faster to develop in the early stage. When these two routes intersect at a certain threshold, a gap inevitably emerges. It was like at a certain moment, the rolling steam train finally surpassed the carriage that could only suck up to it before.

Although there aren't many main character scenes, the viewing experience is okay and the author's history is very solid.

It's really well written. But I think the era name is still a bit off. I think the Ming Dynasty needs an Emperor Mingwu, and the protagonist is very suitable.

Come on, author, start well and finish well. This is a masterpiece as famous as Shao Song Dynasty. I don't know if the ending can include the Industrial Revolution and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. This was the best ending for the Ming Dynasty at that time. I personally think that the Ming Dynasty was the most likely period to move toward a constitutional monarchy. The emperor held judicial power, eunuchs had legislative power granted by the emperor, and civil servants held executive power. There was also partisanship between the two major parties. This was a beggar's version of the separation of powers. Moreover, the Enlightenment Movement in the late Ming Dynasty was also beginning to take shape, and given enough time, it could bear fruit. And land annexation leads to population flow to cities, Loose foreign trade controls have brought huge market demand. In fact, it contributed to the largest sprout of capitalism in ancient times. In history, the Han people have too many stories that are regrettable but will definitely happen. We live in an extremely unstable monsoon climate area and can only establish a unified dynasty to resist natural disasters. This will lead to the fact that our north will not be as connected as Europe. In addition, the agricultural area of ​​4 million square kilometers is too small, and we cannot have the super-deep protection of our development achievements like Europe. The agricultural civilization in the Mongolian grasslands in the north and the forests in the northeast cannot be settled. It is not something that agricultural civilization can control. Industrial civilization can only be controlled if it can be settled. The turbulence brought about by social transformation can also increase our disadvantages. Therefore, the way out for the Han people must be to transform into an industrial society, but during the social transformation, they will almost certainly not be able to withstand the invasion from the north. This is a disaster that is almost impossible for us to avoid. I hope the author can alleviate our regrets with a happy ending.

Well written, I haven't seen such a beautiful Ming Mo in a long time

The recommendation is very exciting. There are no long and watery battle scenes, and the plot description is also very good.
