Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 80 Who is the wolf and who is the sheep
The amount is far away.

Eating the snacks sent by the leaders, Zhao Cheng now collected almost all the landform drawings in Guichi County and started studying them in a targeted manner.

These drawings are much worse than the maps of later generations, but they can still give a rough idea.

It can be seen that there will be troubles in Chizhou in the future, and the cusp of the storm will be the jurisdiction of Guichi County.As the "Small Military Department" of Guichi County, Zhao Cheng must start to understand these issues now.

The root of the so-called chaos in Chizhou lies in the fact that Cai Jing's biggest failure was the money administration, for example, he became the top ten money.

Money has always been just a symbol, and it doesn't matter how much it is worth.Assuming that everyone is really united, Cai Jing can unify all the officials and the people's front, and everyone believes that when a big coin is worth ten, then he is ten coins, and the economic and financial order will really be straightened out.

The problem is that he can't achieve unity. There are a group of people who oppose him and a group of people who don't believe him. In addition, there are too many loopholes in the technology of the top ten money, so people take advantage of the loopholes everywhere, and it becomes a bad government.

To be honest, no matter how insignificant the top ten coins are, it is worth three copper coins, which is considered real money, nothing more than 18K.As for the famous American knife in later generations, it is just a piece of paper, so to put it bluntly, it depends on people's hearts. When you believe it is US dollars, it is US dollars, and then pass it on to the next receiver, and convince him "this is US dollars". Talk about the nature of religion.

Based on these, now the official has a Thunderbolt Qin Ming who is talking big, and there is a Wang Xiu jumping up and down in the cottage.It's only a matter of time before such two unhappy and mindless people get together in one place.

With the current morale of the Song Dynasty and the quality of the Xiang army, and the fact that the commander is Qin Ming, even if Zhao Cheng is killed, he does not believe that he can solve the banditry in Chizhou.

The most likely reason is that he has a thunderbolt temper that stirs up a hornet's nest. He misses the target within seven inches and provokes the venomous snakes, which destroys the balance. In addition to the government officials, the biggest victim group is the common people, who will see wars and corpses everywhere.

Based on these considerations, Zhao Cheng's plan tends to "use bandits to control bandits".No matter how ruthless Wang Xiu is, as long as Bai Chenxiang, a stickler who refuses to accept him, exists, he will not be too aggressive.

Then we must help Bai Chenxiang defend Yangshan Village.

Zhao Cheng is very familiar with Bai Chenxiang's village. His power is weak and there is basically no danger to defend. He can't even build a strong wall and clear the field.Those so-called "walls" are wooden fences that can be blown down even by strong winds.

Even if more people gather, due to the different "concepts of building a village", the people in Yangshan Village will only be the old, weak, sick and disabled who are working, and are the real poor people who have fled their homes, rather than the people in Liangshan who are not afraid of officials. Army ranger wanted criminal.

Therefore, the early stages of this struggle will be very harsh, and not everything can be solved by shouting slogans.In order to avoid excessive casualties, we must have cross-generational technologies and tactics.

There are guns in the system, but they are useless in this situation.Let's not talk about the actual combat effectiveness and purchase quantity of the pistol, but the price of the bullet alone is a war that Zhao Cheng's "net worth" cannot afford.

Not to mention that Chen Meiniang is the only tax source now, even if there is a high-level tax source for the 72 concubines of Sangong Sixth Court, Tian Tianlonghudan's blessing can't afford it.This means that the bitch system, which is close to the main god, will not support Zhao Cheng to fight this type of war.

Then Zhao Cheng had no choice but to go another way, so after checking all the items for sale in the system mall, Zhao Cheng came up with a whim: a slingshot.

Under the existing system level, among the daily salable items in the mall, there are two always inconspicuous things: steel balls and rubber bands.

And there are more systematic rules, but it is surprisingly cheap once it is classified into the daily category.

Steel balls with a diameter of 10 mm are sold in bags. A bag of 10 balls can be purchased for only [-] points.

As for the rubber bands sold in terms of the number of sheets, it is like a whole sheet with the size of a double bed. With a little planning, hundreds of rubber bands for slingshots can be easily cut out.

"We must use existing resources to defend the village, so that we can have the opportunity to farm in the future..."

Zhao Cheng muttered to himself that he had made a decision.

In terms of the current state of mind, this may be considered a brain hole, but Zhao Cheng generally does not fight uncertain battles.There must be some basis for decision-making, not all whim.

In later generations, Zhao Cheng's father was a slingshot expert and an enthusiast.

There are 10 mm steel balls, and if the rubber band performance and structure are well controlled, the actual combat efficiency is theoretically very high.The bullet speed can basically reach the speed of sound, and a 10mm steel ball can sink into a hardwood trunk at a distance of 30 meters.

It is equivalent to saying that such a slingshot headshot is not difficult, lethality is not a problem.

As for the accuracy and ease of training, there is no doubt that it is also much higher than that of a pistol.For example, the father of later generations has a very high hit rate when hitting a fixed target the size of a table tennis ball at 25 meters. When hitting a moving target the size of a medium-sized dog at 15 meters, he misses at most one shot in [-] shots.

Any special forces will not have such a result with a pistol, it's not that the pistol is really bad.It is a foundation formed by a small amount of talent plus a shooting volume of more than 15 rounds.

But in later generations, including American imperialism, no army can allow soldiers to practice shooting 15 live ammunition in a short period of time, and there will never be such military support.

If it is not for competitive competitions, and the starting point is actual combat and group combat, then you don’t need a high level of slingshot at all, and you don’t need to have a strong talent. With about [-] rounds of shooting, you can barely complete the "old and weak" Sick to Long Range Strike Warrior" transition.

The rubber bands are of higher quality. A pair of rubber bands has a service life of about [-] guns, which Zhao Cheng can fully afford.

As for steel balls, assuming that the daily training volume per person is set to [-] shots, it will indeed be a large expense if there are more people. However, the advantage is that steel balls are different from bullets. As long as they are in a fixed shooting range, the recovery rate can be achieved. More than [-]%.In this way, even if Chen Meiniang is the only tax source, she can fully afford the military expenditures for this battle.

After deciding on this plan, the production of the slingshot fork is not a problem.This is not a control thing at the government level, and you can directly ask the craftsmen in Chizhou City to order it with wood.

Guijiaoqi knew many apprentices in carpentry workshops. The price of ten copper coins and a slingshot fork should be affordable. You can buy hundreds of them for a few pennies. That is to say, Zhao Cheng's financial resources can easily supply a thousand-man fork. scale short-range strike force.

Thinking of this, Zhao Cheng quickly drew a drawing of the slingshot and fork and asked the yamen servant to send it to Gui Jiao Qi.As a result, the so-called Winter is Coming mission has officially entered the planning and preparation stage.

Zhao Cheng has some confidence in this. For Wang Xiu, this is a challenge with a difference in technique and tactics.

This is not a street brawl, this is war.It will definitely be the side with technology and tactics that will survive.It's useless to be ruthless on such a battlefield, it will only cause more casualties.This is the cruelty of the law of the jungle.

"Who is the wolf and who is the sheep will soon be revealed."

Being obscene and lurking is the way to go.It's not yet the time, Bai Chenxiang and the others need to continue pretending to be sheep under the dragon slaying technique, practice their internal skills hard and wait for a counterattack...
