Zhu Youxiao continued to sit on the high platform as still as a mountain, his eyes fixed as he slowly scanned the people below, the expression on his face full of satisfaction.
This was the cavalry he had always envisioned. Such cavalry, with its perfect combat effectiveness, was unmatched. Before the enemy had hand-cranked miniature machine guns, his cavalry was unbeatable.
In fact, by the time of World War II, the Lancers were still active for a period of time and could still play a role in certain specific environments and battlefields. There was no big problem at all.
The power of this kind of cavalry in this era cannot be underestimated.
The people around looked a little unhappy.
Is this how the Ming Dynasty defeated Huang Taiji? Is Huang Taiji so bad now?
If it were me, I might have won. By then, the whole of Liaodong would be mine.
Thinking of this, many people's eyes became a little hot.
Of course, there are also sober people, such as Wu Keshan and others. They really disdain the ideas of these people. Seeing the expressions of these people, it is like seeing them committing suicide.
Wu Keshan looked at them with a sneer on his face, as if he was looking at a pile of dead people.
If the Ming Dynasty’s army is really so weak, then what use are we to?
When I was in Daning City, I had personally witnessed the Ming Dynasty's army. Although I had never fought a war with them, their equipment had been constantly updated and they had been constantly supplied with various things over the years. The changes were simply earth-shaking.
Wu Keshan had no confidence at all in fighting against the Ming Dynasty army.
If Huang Taiji could defeat the Ming Dynasty this time, he could have taken advantage of it. But in the end, Huang Taiji lost his life.
Those present may have forgotten how powerful Nurhaci's troops were at the time, and they may have thought that the Ming Dynasty was taking advantage. However, Wu Keshan disagreed.
You know, Huang Taiji has been developing and evolving over the years, and his troops have become stronger and stronger. But even under such circumstances, Huang Taiji was still beaten by the Ming Dynasty without any chance to fight back.
So what's going on? Just seeing the Ming Dynasty troops gives you this kind of confidence? Are you overthinking it?
Although Wu Kesan didn't know why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty brought up such troops, these troops seemed to be inferior to the cavalry of Daning City, and even made Wu Kesan a little unconvinced that these people were the ones who fought against Huang Taiji.
But precisely because of this, Wu Keshan became even more cautious. Perhaps this was a conspiracy by the Ming Dynasty Emperor, trying to seduce someone into making a move?
It's so despicable and insidious!
Zhu Youxiao had no idea what Wu Keshan was thinking.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao had a long-term plan for the development of Liaodong. However, it was useless now because the population and industrial scale here could not meet his expectations. So he could only wait.
Maintaining the current situation and creating a stable development environment is very important for the Ming Dynasty.
If we start a war everywhere, it will cost too much and it is completely unnecessary. The development of Liaodong still needs the help of Mongolia and Korea. In this case, it is enough to scare them.
At this time, the cavalry were stationed on both sides, exposing the infantry behind them.
These infantrymen were just wearing simple leather armor and steel helmets, similar to the cavalry, except that their armor seemed thicker.
But these things can't stop the cavalry's scimitars and bows and arrows! The Ming Dynasty won the war with these people?
Many people at the scene were looking at the people on the field with suspicion, thinking that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was hiding his strength and deliberately seducing everyone by not showing the army to everyone, making everyone think that the Ming Dynasty was weak and then starting a war.
There are quite a few people who have this idea.
No wonder the emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn’t meet with people like them. He was planning this.
Many people's faces darkened, thinking that the Ming emperor was about to take action against them. This was a very bad sign.
But no matter what they thought, the martial arts performance continued.
After the infantry phalanx passed, the artillery came.
Mortars, mountain cannons, heavy machine guns, and rockets, all pulled by horse-drawn carts, passed by these people one by one.
Seeing this, everyone felt a little creepy and their faces became solemn.
To them, firearms were truly terrifying. They had never expected this unit to be equipped with so many cannons.
In their impression, cannons are very powerful.
Since the information in that era was not that advanced, they had no idea that the muskets carried by the infantry in front were actually more powerful.
In this era, firearms were far more effective against them than artillery. However, they all thought that those were just the original firearms of the Ming Dynasty, and that their power was just that.
After all, the Ming Dynasty had upgraded its muskets more than once or twice, but there was no weapon that could truly destroy them, and everyone had encountered them on the battlefield. When the cavalry's horses charged, that was all.
In fact, this can only be said to be their overthinking. Back then, Qi Jiguang was able to defeat them with his primitive fire guns, let alone the later musketeers?
However, the Ming Dynasty's military system became increasingly corrupt, and its firearms became increasingly inferior. Firearms produced were either explosive or unusable, and even more money was embezzled. Under these circumstances, the inability to defeat foreign enemies led them to believe that firearms were just so-so.
After everyone arrived, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao also came.
