Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 999 Without artillery, Lao Tzu's army can't fight?

The "Chinese flavor" pervading Tianfang's world is getting stronger and stronger, and monotheism has just entered Lu Qi's eyes.The war has progressed to this point, the 'World War' has already broken out.

Huaxia, Tianfang, Yishen, and Tianzhu, the four most powerful and influential civilizations on Earth, all entered the arena.

Huaxia, with the traveler Emperor Lu in charge, beats all directions with one hit and three!
As far as the historical countries that have already appeared are concerned, Lu Qi at this time is well-deserved as the most powerful country in history.

Super combat effectiveness and long-distance delivery capabilities have never been possessed by any country in history.From the most eastern part of Asia to the junction of Asia and Europe thousands of miles away, whether it is the Tianfang Empire in the expansion period, the short-lived Alexander Empire, the Roman Empire in its heyday, or the Han and Tang Empires in the East, they are far from comparable of.

That's why, the Lu Qi Empire, where this bug also existed, shocked the whole world of One God.

The Black Sea region in the north is still far away from the essence of the monotheistic world, but the Mediterranean Sea and Asia Minor, which are close at hand, touch the nerves of the monotheistic world.

Today's Byzantine Empire is still an important part of the monotheistic world, and the Crusader countries at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea are the apex of the Catholic countries. Lu Qi has already captured the Persian Plateau, and he is also eyeing Asia Minor. The threat is obvious to all.

This is almost equivalent to saying that the Catholic countries will definitely get involved in the war.Because whether France, Shinra, or the countries in the Italian region are also included, it is impossible to sit back and watch the Crusader countries be destroyed one by one.The Catholic Pope, who has great power and influence, cannot sit idly by!

When the response from the Byzantine Empire was delivered to Lu Qian from a long distance away, Lu Qian was very happy. There was no need to find any excuses to start the war, and the opponent had already 'preemptively struck'.While laughing out loud, he also felt a little empty in his heart.It's not because he doesn't want to beat Europe, let alone because he is worried that he won't be able to beat Europe.

It's Lu Qichao's current financial problem!

"Your Majesty, the army's expedition to Tianfang has exhausted the military supplies that Anxi has hoarded for many years. Is it too urgent to conquer Europe again?" Xiao Jiasui looked a little surprised.Emperor Lu is in a hurry, right?

The army soared far away, and what they lost was not only money and food, but also a lot of military supplies, which were difficult to buy immediately even if they had money.

"Yes, Your Majesty, although the Western Yi are arrogant and arrogant, it is really ridiculous for them to dare to provoke our great Qi. In the future, if their country is not destroyed, it will be a shame for our great civil and military forces to hold their rulers accountable before the court. But then The Western Barbarians are farther away than the sky, and our empire is short-lived, and we have no foundation on the Qinchak grassland. Such a large army would cost ten times as much to attack..." Such a battle would not be worth the gain. , that is, Lu Qi’s finances cannot bear the heavy burden.

"My minister thinks that most of the princes have grown up at this time, and those who can take over the country should divide the land, guard the distant areas, and consolidate the country. Han, there are as many things as there are stars in the night, and the loss is not small."

"When there are five years of gatherings, five years of lessons, and ten years later, the foundation of our dynasty in the sky will be solid, and the vassal states will also be consolidated. At that time, the army will move westward and wipe out the Western Barbarians in one fell swoop. In the Hunyuan Universe, the four seas will be unified..." Zong Ying hadn't finished speaking, but Lu Qian already understood what he meant.

A bitterness flashed across his face. If he was only 40 or 50 years old, or even [-] years old, he would have waited for these ten years. "Everything you say makes sense, wait for me to think about it carefully!"

A group of bigwigs in the Xuande Pavilion withdrew, silent all the way until outside the palace gate of the Forbidden City, Xiao Jiasui looked at Xu Guanzhong who had been sinking and never saying a word, and asked in puzzlement: "Why didn't the chief assistant say anything? Could it be?" As His Majesty wishes..."

"No, no." Xu Guanzhong understood what Xiao Jiasui meant in his words, which was to ask if he got the emperor's "reminder".Of course Xu Guanzhong did not. "The words of the princes are naturally reasonable, but they lack some consideration. Don't forget, your majesty is already in his sixtieth year."

Despite Lu Qian's appearance, he still looks vigorous and strong, as if he is still middle-aged.But age is the most deceiving person.

Xu Guanzhong's last words were in a very low voice, so small that Xiao Jiasui, who was walking by himself, heard it, and the others who were a few steps away all opened their ears in vain.Xiao Jiasui's expression changed suddenly!
Lu Qian's expression didn't change much. Before discussing with the ministers, he had already thought of this possibility.As far as the existing cases of Lu Qi are concerned, the current Lu Qi Dynasty really has no 'power' to continue to conquer Europe.

Looking at Nanyang, Tianzhu, and Hezhong, Lu Qi's "conquest" and the Mongols' conquest are two completely different paths.

Although the latter destroyed the ruling class on a large area of ​​land, it also absorbed the remaining "them". The Semu people rose to power in the pyramid of power of the Mongolian Empire at an extremely fast speed.The Mongols absorbed them but never really changed/assimilated them.Genghis Khan and his descendants had no creativity in the cultural industry. The Mongols' iron hoofs traveled all over Eurasia, but they were only iron hooves.

However, Lu Qi's feudal state and vassal state obviously involve the level of "cultural awareness". This level of confrontation is more energy-intensive and time-consuming than pure force.

Of course, one thing that cannot be denied is that the force of the Lu Qi Army is more dependent on logistics than the Mongolian cavalry in history.

"Could it be that Lao Tzu's army can't fight without artillery?"

In the inner study, in front of a few Liangshanpo old people, Lu Qian swears violently, which is rare.

Even without firearms, the combat effectiveness of the Lu Qi army should be at the peak of the entire cold weapon era. Their organizational training, treatment, pensions, weapons and equipment, and fighting spirit are all top in the world.

"Your Majesty, calm down. In recent years, firearms have been popularized, and soldiers have overcome difficulties and dangers. Thanks to the sharpness of artillery, the common people have also heard the reputation of firearms, so that there are some voices in the world that thick firearms and thin swords and bows. Even the ministers of the court are the same. .” After all, firearms are really sharp, not comparable to cold weapons such as swords, guns, bows and horses.

"Firearms are strong but swords and bows and horses are weak, which is almost a certainty!" Emperor Lu's proposition was indispensable in this, because he wanted to subdue Saibei.It is Lu Qian's consistent position to publicize the power of guns and ammunition.

"However, what does this matter have to do with our soldiers? Whether it is swords, guns, bows and horses, guns and powder, they are all weapons held by our soldiers. It is like Liangshan cannons to multi-pointed cannons, like plate armor to Zhajia. Your Majesty said earlier Proverbs, the army is based on people, and the ministers and others must never forget it."
