Chapter 822: Civilians Turn to War

"Come here, call Liu Fu." Outside the study, Zhao Xu thought for a while.

He accidentally raised his eyes to look at the smoke column floating in the distance, and suddenly slapped his head.

I almost forgot something extremely important.

If the operation is successful, perhaps the royal army and the Qin army can attack Jianguan and Zhonglingguan with Qin-style muskets.

This matter refers to the transition of industry from civilians to war in a special period.

The production of some civilian goods was temporarily suspended, and various workshops fully cooperated with the war to produce war materials.

In this way, the army can obtain enough weapons and ammunition in a short period of time.

At present, the British, Franks, and Russians gathered the powerful troops and the Beidi army to attack him.

Combined with contemporary experience, he knew almost without thinking that they must arm the powerful clan and Beidi.

And according to the information he had, Britain had a complete firearms manufacturing system in Tianzhu.

This is their need to control Tianzhu.

After all, if they were attacked by the Tianzhu people, it would be too late if they transported muskets and artillery from Britain.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is whether Britain's factory in Tianzhu can imitate the muzzle-loading rifles used by the royal army.

If they start to imitate and prepare to spread this kind of muskets, and even provide them to the powerful clans and Beidi, then it will be more urgent to add more muskets to the royal army.

However, he believed that even if the British factory in Tianzhu could manufacture muzzle-loading rifled guns, due to the limitations of the scale of the factory, it would not be possible to supply them to the powerful tribes and Beidi on a large scale in a short period of time.

Because Britain has a need to manufacture muskets in Tianzhu, but this demand will not be too great.

But what is obvious is that the longer the delay, the larger the size of the armed forces of the Yi tribe, the Beidi army, and the Xitu army will be equipped with front-loading rifled guns using conical bullets, and the more disadvantageous they will be to themselves.

So, it's an arms race now.

Jianguan and Zhonglingguan can be taken earlier or later.

But the muskets of the royal army must be upgraded in a short time.

Otherwise, even if the Shi clan and Beidi obtained 30,000 muskets, they would still be able to cause greater casualties to the royal army by relying on the steep mountain roads that only one man in Yizhou could pass.

But for him, such unnecessary casualties were unnecessary.

Now that the Bingzhan Division has mastered the technology of breech-loaded needle-fire rifles, why not let the soldiers hold Qin-style muskets, kill the enemy quickly, and unify Jiangnan as soon as possible.

Now, he is becoming more and more eager to achieve the goal of unifying Dasong.

After Britain, the Russians and the Franks also intervened in the civil strife in Dasong.

Jiangnan has become a wound that cannot be healed on Da Song's body. The enemy can cause Da Song unbearable pain as long as he sprinkles salt on it.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent people to Chang Wei and Ma Han to send orders.

Let them not rush to attack Jianguan and Zhonglingguan, but organize soldiers to train while confronting the opponent.

The content of the training is naturally the use of Qin-style rifles and new gun-using postures and tactics.

The Bingzhan Division has a dozen manufactured prototype guns that can be used for training.

In this way, as soon as the Qin-style rifle arrives, it will immediately be transformed into combat power.

Not long after, Liu Fu also came.

Zhao Xu told him about the people moving to fight.

"People turn to war?" This was the first time Liu Fu heard this word.

Zhao Xu nodded, "This civil war is an emergency and a drill. If a larger war breaks out in the future, Da Song will inevitably enter the national system to engage in arms production."

The creation of firearms made soldiers cheap and easy to obtain.

In contemporary World War I and World War II, after the standing army was completed, it was the reserve force. If the reserve force was not enough, all young men of sufficient age were directly recruited.

These young and lucky ones can still receive formal training, and those who do not go far are directly sent to the battlefield with guns.

Today, he is only twenty years old, and the world is currently at the technological level of the early to mid-nineteenth century.

In this life, there is no guarantee that he will not experience one or two world-class wars here.

In his view, these wars are bound to be fought around the Western World with Britain as its core and the Eastern World with Da Song as its core.

The Westerners have enjoyed hundreds of years of colonial dividends and hundreds of years of world hegemony. They have done whatever they want in the past few hundred years. Unless they are completely defeated, they will definitely fight to the death.

In the contemporary war, Britain would not hesitate to fight a world war that killed tens of millions of people in order to maintain its old order and suppress Germany.

This shows how crazy the Angsa people are in order to maintain their status of enslaving the world.

In fact, World War II was just a continuation of World War I, and it was even more cruel than before.

It is precisely because of his eagerness to judge by contemporary experience that he has the awareness to win a world-class war in order to have the right to speak.

This time the civilian war began, he regarded it as a preview.

Let the Dasong court go through it from top to bottom in advance, so as not to be in a hurry later.

Then, he explained to Liu Fu in detail what the people turned to war and told him what needed to be done.

"So that's it." Liu Fu suddenly realized, "It's just that it will delay the production of commercial goods, but I can't care about that now."

Ever since King Yan asked him and Chang Wei not to just limit their sights to Dasong, he has been learning about the countries outside Dasong during this time.

Gradually, I understood King Yan's foreign strategy, and I also understood that there is not only Beidi in this world, but there are many wolves more powerful than Beidi.

Realizing this, he woke up from the satisfaction of King Yan's unification of Jiangbei. He knew that if Dasong wanted to be prosperous and healthy, and if Dasong people wanted to live and work in peace and contentment, they still had a long, difficult and dangerous road to go.

Therefore, his theorem supports King Yan’s decision.

Furthermore, King Yan looted Japan during this period and brought back a large amount of wealth, and the Battle of Jinling also obtained the wealth of the Xie family.

These two huge fortunes are enough for them to deal with.

After discussing the matter, Liu Fu returned to the office of Wuji Palace, summoned the six ministers, Yang He, the director of the Prospecting Department and other officials, and asked them to fully shift to wartime status from mining to manufacturing.

In particular, each workshop must cooperate with the Military Division to manufacture parts for Qin-style rifles, and the steel workshop ensures the supply of high-quality steel.

A group of craftsmen were temporarily organized to participate in the manufacture of paper shell bullets to ensure a sufficient quantity of ammunition.

"Originally His Highness's order to the Department of War was to deliver 30,000 Qin-style rifles within three months. Now one month has passed and there are still two months left." After explaining to everyone, Liu Fu said firmly, "But now, we We must provide 120,000 Qin-style rifles to the army within a month. This is a fatal order. From now on, the workshop must use one day as two days, the Changbai version should be rotated, people can rest, and the machines cannot stop. "

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Liu Fu looked serious. Zhu Tuo, Yang He, Chen Ce and other ministers could feel the urgency of this matter, and they all couldn't help but become nervous.

Returning to their respective yamen, they immediately organized the people to fight.

For a time, the entire Yanzhou was enveloped in an atmosphere of urgency.
